Chapter 597: The Irrepressible Internal Strife Within the Sect
Fei Xuan's eyes fell on Wang Teng, and he knew the fight between Wang Teng and An Tuning better than anyone else. Those alchemists went to Yuening Mountain and came back at such a coincidence. Just as An Tu Ning left, the alchemist came back. Do you think he is an idiot?
But even if he knew that Wang Teng was digging a hole, he would still take the opportunity to punish An Tu Ning. Wang Teng digs a hole, but An Tu Ning cannot fill it, that is incompetence. He will never investigate who is real and who is fake because of this matter.
The sect's problem is definitely not a problem between An Tu Ning and Wang Teng. There are also several Hunyuan elders involved. If he fails to handle one of them, the sect will fall into an abyss.
Now An Tu Ning actually got back a victory. Even though he knew that An Tu Ning was lying when he said that he was looking for alchemists everywhere, he would do the same thing as before and would not investigate whether what An Tu Ning said was true or false. He had to do it. Stand on An Tuning's side.
Fei Xuan didn't even need to investigate, but he also knew that An Tu Ning was looking for the outer disciple to fill up the numbers. At best, he just told him that she, An Tu Ning, had participated in the Taoist Danhe Grand Competition. None of this is important to Fei Xuan. What is important is that the result of the Danhe competition did not disappoint him.
Seeing the sect leader looking over, Wang Teng had no choice but to stand up and say, "After hearing Master An Gu's words, I realized that Xun Ni actually robbed Di Jiu's cave. I must investigate this matter immediately. If there is indeed such a thing, That's really what you deserve."
Fei Xuan nodded, "What Peak Master Wang said is right. Master An Gu has made great contributions to the sect this time and asked him to report to the core disciple hall. It is indeed a waste for such a disciple to stay as an outer disciple."
Fei Xuan's tone was calm, without any impatience. He is the only one who is angry in his heart. He is the leader of the sect, but now he is gradually unable to control the sect.
Wang Teng told lies with his eyes open, but he couldn't punish him yet. Three of the elders sitting here are on the same side as Wang Tengkenghe. The remaining great elder still had a vague attitude.
The second elder Qi Yu who was sitting on the side quickly stood up and said, "Sect Master, this Di Jiu has indeed made great contributions to our sect. However, the core disciples of the sect are equal to the future inheritance. We must not allow someone with unknown origins to be casually allowed." The outer disciple becomes the core disciple. I suggest waiting for this outer disciple to come back before making a decision.
"Fart..." An Tu Ning shouted sternly, "Di Jiu has made such great contributions to our sect, and he actually said that he still wants to discuss it again. What are you talking about if you don't fart?"
"How brave..." Qi Yu shouted sharply and raised his hand to slap An Tu Ning.
Qi Yu is a Hunyuan strongman, and An Tuning is just a late-stage Daoyuan. Under this palm, he doesn't even have the slightest ability to resist. He was blown away directly, and a stream of blood spurted out from his mouth.
"Pa!" Fei Xuan slapped the coffee table in front of him into pieces. He suddenly stood up, pointed at the second elder Qi Yu and shouted with a pale face, "Qi Yu, do you want to rebel? I, Fei Xuan, am still a sect after all. Sect Master, how dare you, an elder, to injure the Valley Master of our Yandao Sect here."
A powerful killing force swept out, and the entire sect hall was under Fei Xuan's domain killing force.
While Fei Xuan was angry, he also knew that some conflicts could no longer be concealed. Originally, he planned to wait for this incident to be over, discuss it with the great elder, and then visit Master Yanyun. Explain the sect's situation clearly and ask Master Yanyun to stand on his side. Now it seems that he can only take action in advance.
Even the Great Elder, who had been keeping his eyes closed in a vague manner, suddenly opened his eyes, frowned and said, "Elder Qi, since our sect has been established, there has been no precedent for taking action in the meeting hall. You are doing well. This precedent.”
An Tu Ning was also stunned. She never thought that Qi Yu would be so bold and dare to take action against her, a valley master, in the meeting hall.
"I'm sorry, Sect Master, Great Elder, I was indeed impulsive just now. It was really the words Master An Gu said were so unpleasant that I couldn't hold back my anger for a while." Qi Yu's anger seemed to have disappeared long ago, and he took the initiative to stand up and apologize with fists in his hands.
It seemed that he was really angry just now, so he impulsively hurt An Tu Ning.
In fact, everyone sitting here knows that Qi Yu is in the early stage of Hunyuan after all. If he said that he couldn't hold back his anger for a while, he would be lying. If he couldn't suppress even this anger, it would be impossible for Qi Yu to reach the Hunyuan realm.
Although Fei Xuan's face was very ugly, he seemed to endure it. He looked at the great elder beside him and said, "Elder Zhong, Elder Qi took action in the sect's meeting hall. This is not a trivial matter. You take him to the sect's water prison. Confinement for one year. Elder Qi, are you convinced?"
The palace masters and peak masters in the sect's main hall sighed when they heard this punishment. After all, the sect leader Fei Xuan did not dare to punish the second elder Qi Yu, but he only gave him a symbolic one-year confinement in the water prison.
For a Hunyuan monk, spending one year in the sect's water prison is as simple as squinting his eyes.
Qi Yu stood up without any hesitation and said, "I couldn't control my temper for a while. I fully accept the punishment from the sect master."
Only Dazhang Zhongchong coldly shuddered subconsciously when he heard the sect master's words. He raised his head and looked at the sect master. He quickly stood up and bowed to the sect master and said, "Zhong Chongleng accepts the order, Elder Qi, please follow me." Let’s go.”
He always thought that Fei Xuan was not capable of sitting as the leader of Yandao Sect. After hearing Fei Xuan's words today, he changed his mind somewhat.
The entire sect's monks, including the second elder, may have thought that the sect's water prison punishment was the lightest. Because every disciple who enters the sect's water prison, no matter how many years he is imprisoned, will never retreat but advance in cultivation after he comes out. It can be seen that the water prison is not a place to imprison people, but a place for retreat and cultivation.
But only three people in the entire Yanyi group knew that the most terrifying place in the sect was the sect water prison. Don't say that Qi Yu only has the strength in the early Hunyuan period. Even if Qi Yu is in the late Hunyuan period and enters the sect's water prison, there will be no chance of coming back.
The sect's water prison was the place where Hunyuan was killed. Only the sect leader, him, the great elder, and Yan Yun knew about it. Even if Qi Yu is the second elder, he will not know such confidential matters.
Zhong Chongleng knew very well why Qi Yu took action. He was testing Fei Xuan's bottom line. As long as Fei Xuan doesn't make any big moves this time, many of the sect's palace masters and peak masters will be sidelined by them or even destroyed.
The reason why Zhong Chongleng has been ignoring things is because if the sect leader doesn't have the courage, he, the great elder, can only act as cannon fodder.
Now that the sect leader has murderous intent on Qi Yu, he doesn't mind helping the sect leader. The Yandao Sect was deteriorating because of internal fighting and the lack of courage enough by the sect leader to take action.
"Let's go, Elder Qi." Zhong Zhong repeated again, hunched over and walked out of the meeting hall. He was sneering in his heart. Qi Yu had indeed tested the sect leader's bottom line, but the price of this test was too high.
Fei Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhong Chongleng taking Qi Yu out. What he was most worried about was that Zhong Chongleng would not listen to him and even reveal his purpose. As long as Zhong Chongleng is still with the sect, he still has some confidence to bring the sect back. Originally he didn't want to take the risk, but Qi Yu opened the lid and left him with no way to retreat.
An Tuning felt cold in her heart. She had made great contributions to the sect, but she was rudely beaten and seriously injured by the second elder. The sect leader just punished Qi Yu in confinement for one year without any pain.
She stood up, without even wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, she clasped her fists and said, "Sect Master, I am seriously injured and want to return to Yanchun Valley for healing."
Fei Xuan knew that he could not say anything to An Tu Ning at this time, otherwise everything would be illusion. He could only nod, "You go back to heal your wounds. The second elder was also temporarily confused, so don't take it to heart."
"Yes." An Tuning responded, turned around and left. She was completely disappointed with Yan Daozong.
