Guanhaimen Mountain Gate, inside the side hall facing the sea.

"Li Ping'an? Third-grade patrol envoy?"

"ASEAN seniors were bribed by the Wan Yun Sect to give a third-grade official position to a disciple who has not become an immortal?"

"Humph! There must be something fishy here!"

"ASEAN announced to the outside world that Li Ping'an and his master Qing Su have made great achievements in the southeast of Xizhou. But what great achievements can make a young disciple become a third-grade patrol envoy?"

The more than ten elders of Guanhai Sect had different faces, and most of them were a little unhappy.

They are puzzled by this matter!

One person said: "Pindao finally knows why this Wan Yun Sect earns so many spiritual stones."

Someone else said: "You can't say that. ASEAN usually doesn't pay attention to the affairs of each sect. In recent years, ASEAN has cultivated enough immortal soldiers. As far as ASEAN is concerned, each sect is just a reserve of immortal soldiers."

How could the ASEAN seniors give such rewards for receiving gifts? What’s more, what kind of gift should the Wanyun Sect give in order to obtain the honorary position of a third-grade patrol envoy?"

"Maybe it's Taoist Nakong Ming's connections."

"Xizhou Southeast, what great achievements can be made there! This is clearly a perfunctory excuse!"

"There's something a little weird about this."

The old elder on the main seat took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Everyone, the friction between Wanyun Sect and Guanhai Sect has become more and more intense. Today's canonization is a good thing for Wanyun Sect, but it is also a good thing.

bad thing."

The elders looked over.

The two or three elders who originally wanted to persuade their fellow disciples to calm down the matter could only shut up at this moment.

The old man in charge said:

"In the land of Dongzhou, a disciple who has not yet become an immortal, even if he has a strategy and knows how to calculate, cannot make any trouble.

"The real trouble is that ASEAN's move will increase Wan Yun Sect's reputation again. There are rumors recently that Wei Yuan Sect will merge with Wan Yun Sect, and Wan Yun Sect's return to the top ten sects is just around the corner.

"Our Guanhai Sect suffered continuous setbacks when facing the Wan Yun Sect. We are afraid that the Wan Yun Sect will squeeze us out of the top ten sects."

All the elders were thinking too much, and some of them had angry expressions on their faces.

The old man in charge sighed again: "If the four patriarchs come out of seclusion and see such a situation, I'm afraid we will all be punished."

"But what else can we do? The Wan Yun Sect's magical artifact business is booming, and now there is a third-grade inspection envoy... Our Guanhai Sect's more than ten fellow disciples who go to ASEAN to work are busy in ASEAN and work conscientiously.

Years ago, most of them ended up with a false title of sixth grade."

"But you want to directly say that ASEAN is doing things unfairly?"

"No, no, I don't want to kill you!"

"There are so many experts in ASEAN! How can we arrange them at will?"

"I have a plan," the chief elder narrowed his eyes slightly, "This third-level inspection envoy is a good thing for Wanyun Sect, but it can also be a bad thing. That Li Ping'an is not high in cultivation and not very old.

, there are some eloquence talents, but it is inevitable that there will be some common problems among young people."

"what do you mean……"

"Heh," there was a hint of sarcasm in the elder's eyes, "Let's also praise this inspector and say that he is unparalleled in the world and the only one in the world."

"Ah? Doesn't this boost their arrogance?"

"What do you know? The higher we lift him, the heavier he will be when he falls down."

The old man in charge said slowly:

"Inspection envoy is not an empty title. He has to patrol everywhere. As long as we wait for him to go out, we can make some preparations.

"Isn't he the patrol envoy? What are the duties of the patrol envoy? Let's go back and think about it carefully. When he goes out, we will arrange some difficult things for him.

"As long as he falls from the clouds, we can set fire to the Wan Yun Sect.

“If virtue is not matched, disaster will arise from itself.

"Don't the Wan Yun Sect want to use the name of Li Ping'an's enlightenment to set up a signboard for their magical weapon? When the time comes, we'll have to see how the Wan Yun Sect responds."

All the elders nodded.

One person sighed softly: "If Wanyun Sect can wake up as soon as possible and come to Guanhaimen to apologize, there will be no danger tomorrow."

"Wanyun Sect can't even look down on the Tiantian Sect, let alone our Guanhai Sect."

"Okay, that's it for today. Let's go back and make arrangements."

Immortal lights flashed across the hall, and no one was around in the hall.

The elder at the seat raised his eyebrows, picked up the teacup again and took a sip.

There seemed to be some hesitation in his eyes, but this hesitation quickly receded, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

'Yunmo, Yunmo, Pindao really wants to settle things with you about what happened back then.'

The old man took out a light red jade talisman from his sleeve. On the jade talisman was written the word "blood" with flying dragons and phoenixes.

The old man wrote two lines of small words in the jade talisman, then crushed the jade talisman. A beam of red light flew out of the jade talisman and disappeared in an instant.

Underground at Guanhaimen, in a simple cave.

The old Jinxian, whose Taoist robe was covered with dust, opened his eyes, reflecting the scene in the side hall, and saw the disappearing red light.

But the golden immortal old man once again closed his eyes and concentrated, but did not pay much attention to this matter.

…

Two months later.

Wanyun Sect, inside Zhuyun Hall.

Li Dazhi was sitting in an armchair, his brows furrowed, and short hair half an inch high appeared on his bald head.

There were more than a dozen high-level deacons in front of them, their hands bowed in salute, their expressions a little solemn.

"Master," Deacon Gao Xu said, "yesterday, two more shops were smashed. Although our ambush masters caught a few people, these people were just rogues from the town, not even magic cultivators.

I can only give him a beating and let him go."

The other deacons each spoke:

"Our newly opened store in the middle of Dongzhou, Tianyuanmen and Weiyuan Sect have sent extra manpower to look after it. There is not much of a problem there."

"But on the coast of the East China Sea, more than 30 shops were damaged last month, and one shop caught fire for no reason."

"The people behind this have reached the level of lawlessness. They are just going to use this kind of damaging tactics to make it impossible for our Wan Yun Sect to do business!"

"The accounts of our Zhuyuntang last month have also come out. The low-grade spiritual stones that entered the sect's treasury are only 596,000 yuan, which is a full 30% less than the same month last year."

"I saw these."

Li Dazhi sighed and frowned:

"How ridiculous! I never thought that our biggest constraint now is that our moral bottom line is too high!"

"Master, the problem here is that we all know that Guanhaimen is causing trouble, but we can't find any concrete evidence."

Li Dazhi asked: "Why don't we also send people to their shop in Guanhaimen to take revenge?"

"Master, Guanhaimen's main business is in the three immortal dynasties they control."

"There are also some problems with the Linzheng Immortal Dynasty. Several nearby Immortal Dynasties are ready to take action. I'm afraid Guanhaimen is behind it."

One of the deacons said angrily: "This Guanhaimen! If we can't do it, we'll just kill them at the mountain gate and argue with them!"

Li Dazhi said: "This is not a life-and-death feud, it's just that they are too disgusting... Is there any follow-up to what happened with Elder Xiao?"

Deacon Gao Xu hurriedly said: "Since Elder Xiao received the 'blood' character last month, there have been three immortal elders guarding Elder Xiao inside the door. Elder Xiao has already said that she

I am on the shore of the East China Sea, presiding over the sect's industry. If those young people want to cause trouble, just show up."

Li Dazhi shook his head and sighed: "Xiaoyue's temper is getting worse. It's not good to be like this. Being tough with them is not an option."

Satsuki?

The deacons felt that they might have been hearing hallucinations, or that the master had used the wrong tone.

Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue, it’s normal to call me by the wrong name.

Gao Xu sighed: "Does Guanhai Sect still dare to join forces with evil cultivators?"

"Evidence, mainly evidence!"

Li Dazhi sighed:

"Without evidence, we can't blame them. They can bite us back at any time!"

A deacon asked: "Are we asking ASEAN to come forward... We are safe, aren't we familiar with the seniors from ASEAN?"

A deacon immediately retorted: "Why would ASEAN care about such a trivial matter like ours? Besides, such a large sect can't handle this problem, so we still need a disciple to stand up for us? Don't you even want to lose face?"

Li Dazhi suddenly said: "If it doesn't work, we can only kill one to serve as a warning to others!"

"Master, how can I kill one person to serve as a warning to others?"
