Volume 1 Lin Yuan Chapter 94: Heaven's Secret Evolution
The Tianji Sect is one of the thirty-three sects.
Unlike other major sects whose main buildings are built on Lingshan Mountain, with magnificent buildings and endless green trees and mountain streams, the Tianji Sect hollowed out Lingshan Mountain. Except for the mountain gate, the entire sect is built among the rocks, and secret techniques are used to guide sunlight into the mountain, which makes it strange and mysterious.
In a very ordinary wooden house in Tianji Gate, a tall and thin middle-aged man with naturally loose black hair, wearing a very loose cangqing robe, was sitting cross-legged, examining dozens of jade slips neatly arranged in front of him without any expression.
Every once in a while, his skinny but crystal-like hand would reach out from his wide sleeves to replace a jade slip.
Zhuang Yi lowered his head, with his goatee and slightly bulging belly in his sight. He stood by respectfully, waiting, not even making a sound when breathing, for fear of alarming the leader of one of the thirty-three sects in front of him.
As a person with a given surname, Zhuang represents glory in Tianjimen, and the number one represents status. Zhuang Yi cherishes everything in front of him very much.
Yu Guangzhong looked at the figure who was quietly examining the jade slip with gratitude.
As the leader of the Tianji Sect who holds all the intelligence in the world, Zhuang Yanling is very focused on studying the general intelligence of the world.
After a while, his skinny hand reached out again and put a jade slip into the wooden box . With a flick of his finger, a row of jade slips were arranged neatly. He said without raising his head, "Tell the Taoist master that the person who assassinated Miaoyu is suspected to be from the Northern Frontier Dead Swamp. To get more detailed clues, one is the spirit stone, and the other is the time."
He paused and added, "It's the same with the Heavenly Demon Sect."
Zhuang Yi nodded respectfully.
But an incredible feeling of unreality arose in my heart.
"Is the world going to change?"
The feud between Taixuan Qingdao and Tianmodao is long-standing. Among the thirty-three sects, the two sects rank third and fourth respectively. Even the Tianji Sect is unable to judge which of the two sects is stronger in overall strength.
Once, after drinking and in a good mood, Zhuang Yanling once said that if the two major Taoist sects went to war to the death, the final result would surely be mutual destruction, without even a disciple or a trace of Taoist tradition left.
Zhuang Yi deeply agreed.
The two major Taoist sects naturally understood this and maintained sufficient restraint, but open and covert struggles were inevitable.
Among them, the most concerned in the cultivation world is the competition between the strongest successors of each generation of the two major sects. For thousands of years, every battle between the descendants of the two sects is related to the reputation of the two sects and is the most talked about by people.
What's more, Miaoyu, the last disciple of the master of Taixuanqing Dao, and Qi Yu, the youngest disciple of the master of Tianmo Dao, are both people with stunning looks, and their every move will cause heated discussions.
But no one would have thought that three months ago, when Miaoyu and Qi Yu were fighting to the death on Lake Xumi, they were both assassinated at the same time.
Although they each used secret methods to escape, they were both seriously injured and are still recuperating in the two sects. It is said that Qi Yu, who used the Heavenly Demon Blood Escape Technique, also suffered serious damage to his Taoism.
For this reason, the Taoist Lord and the Demon Lord were extremely angry and naturally used all their resources to track down the murderer.
"One to nine" is Zhuang Yi's judgment on the success rate of tracking down the murderers in the two cases.
He believed that even though the two gangs were the biggest in the world, there was only a 10% chance of identifying the murderer.
Because I heard that the two assassins were suspected to have ancient treasures on them, which concealed all their appearance, body shape, breath , and traces.
But he didn't expect that even if the Tianji Sect used the highest-level clue network to track down the case, they could only find out a rough outline.
The clues disappeared like a smell washed away by a rainstorm.
Zhuang Yi's face was uncertain when a disciple of Tianji Sect hurried in. He walked silently and bowed respectfully to Zhuang Yanling and said, "Master, an urgent matter to report. It's related to the young lady."
"Youyou?" Zhuang Yanling frowned.
As per convention, Zhuang Yi was about to take the jade slip and hand it over, but he saw Zhuang Yanling lift it in the air and the jade slip fell into his hand.
Zhuang Yi was slightly stunned. Although Zhuang Yanling's actions were natural and calm, he was very clear that his master was already feeling a little anxious.
Similarly, I began to feel anxious.
As his spiritual sense probed into it, Zhuang Yanling's face gradually became gloomy.
Even though he tried his best to breathe lightly, Zhuang Yi still felt that his breathing was extremely clear, so clear that even a pin drop could be heard throughout the entire wooden house.
His head dropped even lower.
Zhuang Yanling knew Zhuang Youyou's personality and preferences very well.
He loves to play, likes freedom, loves to join in the fun, is quirky, but is kind-hearted and does not make enemies with others.
While loving her daughter, Zhuang Yanling did not restrict her freedom too much.
After all, Tianjimen is responsible for all the world's intelligence.
If anyone does something bad to Zhuang Youyou, the first thing he has to consider is whether he will be discovered and killed by the Tianji Sect before he takes action, and the second thing he has to consider is whether he will have to bear the wrath of the entire Tianji Sect.
That is definitely not something that can be resolved with just death.
As the head of a sect, he is not as soft-hearted as Zhuang Youyou. If anyone harms Zhuang Youyou, everyone who has any connection with the assassin will die.
"Miss..." Zhuang Yi asked tentatively.
"He was assassinated."
"I have blinded his eyes and made him so brave! If I find out who he is, I will skin him alive." Zhuang Yi cursed. He had watched Zhuang Youyou grow up and loved her like his granddaughter.
"It's okay. She's fine." Zhuang Yanling didn't care about Zhuang Yi's loss of composure.
He gave a name to this servant who had followed him since childhood, and no longer regarded Zhuang Yi as an outsider.
"Bring Jiba's file here."
“Ji Ba?” Zhuang Yi was slightly stunned, then realized that it was a person’s name and quickly answered.
Not long after, a white jade slip was delivered to Zhuang Yanling's hands.
Cultivation: Qi Condensation Level 6. Inheritor of the Six Paths Sword. Ranked 9942nd on the Villain List.
"It attracted Murong Xumu's crazy pursuit, but in the end, he failed to achieve his goal and became a demon."
"Claiming to be the man Xi Yuan will never get."
"He once publicly stated that Qi Yu had pursued him, but he disliked that Qi Yu was not very good at some aspects of martial arts."
"......"
"What a mess." The more Zhuang Yanling read, the more his brows furrowed. He then looked at the time of the intelligence and found that it was three years ago. The locations where the intelligence was obtained were also all over the place , as if this young man named Ji Ba had the ability to clone himself.
It is indeed impossible for the Tianji Sect to invest too many resources into a sixth-level Qi Condensation cultivator with a bad reputation. It is already commendable that he was able to collect such ridiculous information three years ago.
But the Six Paths Sword Seal? It has not appeared in the cultivation world for many years.
Although the Six Paths Sword technique has been passed down, it has no master.
It is extremely difficult to explore a unique skill . According to legend, even Huang Yi failed to master the sword seal within three years.
Bang.
The jade slip in his hand shattered instantly.
"Create a new file for him, the level is blue." Zhuang Yanling ordered calmly.
"Yes." Zhuang Yi nodded in agreement.
The Tianji Sect allocates resources to different intelligence, dividing them into seven colors, with the highest level being purple, and only the great monks of each sect can receive this treatment.
The second is the blue level, which belongs to the level of Xi Yuan, Miao Yu, and Qi Yu.
Even Murong Xumu was only at the lower level of the Green level.
"Step back." Zhuang Yanling said calmly.
Zhuang Yi respectfully took his leave.
Looking through the window of the wooden house at the sea of clouds outside, Zhuang Yanling's gaze inexplicably shifted to the cloudless sky.
Then he walked back to the table, picked up a pen and wrote solemnly on a piece of bamboo:
"It is very likely that a true immortal will descend in the northern border."
Then, the bamboo piece turned into a flash of golden light like lightning and disappeared in an instant.
