The death of Marquis Yangling at the hands of Qin Ye, the leader of the Qingfeng Sect, spread throughout Qingzhou in just one day. All the forces in Qingzhou were shocked and sent people to investigate the details of the Qingfeng Sect in detail.
Qingyun Sect, one of the seven-level sects in Qingzhou, can be said to be one of the strongest forces in Qingzhou.
Feng Qingyun, who appeared to save people in the Qingfeng Sect before, was the previous generation leader of the Qingyun Sect and now serves as the Supreme Elder of the Qingyun Sect.
The current sect leader of Qingyun Sect is Mu Tong, who is at the master level and one of the ten great masters of the Qin Dynasty. He is famous far and wide. His talent is much higher than that of the previous generation leader Feng Qingyun. He has broken through the master level before he was 25 years old, which shocked the Qin Dynasty. It is said that when Feng Qingyun first met Mu Tong, he praised Mu Tong for his talent which was rare in a century.
So he brought Mu Tong to teach him personally, and soon became the young master of the Qingyun Sect. He became the acting master at the age of 22. At the age of 25, he broke through to the master level and officially took over the position of master. .
The most talked about thing about Mu Tong is that when he was 24 years old, he went to the barbarian lands to kill the then barbarian commander Man Zhe.
Manzhe was the eighth son of the previous Barbarian King and the uncle of the current Barbarian King. At that time, Manzhe was violent, especially towards the people of the Qin Dynasty. It was said that he liked to eat human flesh raw. Not only the Qin Dynasty hated him, but also the barbarians. There are also many people inside who are very dissatisfied with him.
That year, Manzhe sent his army to invade the border and broke into two cities. He not only looted the entire city and took away the young and strong men and women, but also killed all the old and young in the city.
When Mu Tong heard about this, he went to Mantu himself and stayed there for more than a month before he found an opportunity to kill Man Zhe.
You must know that Manzhe had already broken through to the Grandmaster realm and was protected by a Grandmaster. Even the Barbarian King was extremely afraid of him. Mu Tong, on the other hand, was only in the ninth level of Xiantian Realm back then. There was such a huge gap in strength, but he still succeeded in assassinating him.
Perhaps it was because of that assassination that he broke through to the Grandmaster shortly after returning.
Mu Tong became famous in that battle. He was able to defeat the Grandmaster at the ninth level of Xiantian. After breaking through to Grandmaster, I am afraid that even the veteran Grandmaster would not be his opponent.
Qingyun Sect has developed rapidly in recent years under the leadership of Mu Tong, and has more than 10,000 disciples. It has considerable influence both within the sect and in the Qin Dynasty.
Three bells rang in the Qingyun Sect today. This was the sect leader summoning the elders to discuss matters.
Qingyun Sect is divided into inner courtyard and outer courtyard. There are six elders in the inner courtyard and twelve elders in the outer courtyard.
The status of the elders of the outer dean is lower than that of the elders of the inner dean, and they are not qualified to enter the inner hall to discuss matters, unless they are authorized by the sect master.
When the six elders from the inner courtyard came in, they saw that the sect leader was already sitting at the top.
Mu Tong was already in his forties, but he looked more like thirty years old. He was still graceful and majestic. Not only that, his face was even more handsome, and his movements were full of elegance and wisdom.
Before the elders came in, they had already guessed among themselves outside. This time the sect leader summoned everyone to discuss the matter might have something to do with the Qingfeng Sect.
Such a big event happened in Qingzhou. As one of the strongest forces in Qingzhou, they naturally got the news immediately.
After the elders bowed to Mu Tong, they sat down separately.
"Sect Master, do you want to talk about Qingfeng Sect?" The second elder stood up and spoke first.
Mu Tong nodded and said, "That's right! The elders discussed how we should treat the Qingfeng Sect."
The elders immediately started discussing enthusiastically.
"The information says that the Qingfeng Sect has two masters. Their strength is not weaker than that of the seventh-grade sect. I think it is better to have a good relationship with the Qingfeng Sect."
"The Qingfeng Sect's sudden rise may have some ulterior motives behind it. I'm most afraid that the Qingfeng Sect will have support from outside the region."
"This elder believes that external forces are unlikely. The Qin Dynasty is just a small kingdom in a corner, and Qingzhou is even more barren and has no good plans."
"We have never met one of the two grandmasters of the Qingfeng Sect, but according to intelligence, he told the origin of the Taishang Elder's name. He must be an old master, but we don't know it; the other one, It is Qin Ye, the leader of the Qingfeng Sect. According to the information that came back, this Qin Ye was not even in the Xiantian realm before, and his talent was not as good as that of our handyman in the outer courtyard. Now he suddenly became a grand master. This is something I can't figure out. "
"Third Elder, this is not impossible. I have read in ancient books that if there is a powerful master who passes on his lifelong cultivation to him, it is possible to break through to become a master."
…
Mu Tong listened to the heated discussion among the elders and saw that the more they discussed, the more biased they became. The most talked about was the origin of the grandmaster and how Qin Ye broke through the grandmaster.
"cough--"
He coughed, and the hall suddenly became quiet. He glanced at the six elders and said slowly: "Where are they from and how did they break through to the master realm? This can be investigated later. What we are focusing on now is How to get along with the Qingfeng Sect. Originally, having a seventh-grade sect force in Qingzhou was not necessarily a disadvantage for Qingzhou, but you also know that Qingzhou is the weakest among the eight states of the Qin Dynasty. Now the Qingfeng Sect has enmity with the Qin Dynasty, and my sect is too powerful. The elder is also involved, which makes it very difficult for me to handle."
After speaking, Mu Tong sighed.
The elders looked at each other and they all knew what the sect leader meant.
Since becoming the sect leader, he has devoted himself to developing the sect, maintaining good relations with all the forces, and playing both sides. This has allowed the Qingyun Sect to develop rapidly in his hands.
Originally, the Qingfeng Sect was rising. As long as the Qingyun Sect didn't mess with me, I would be on good terms with you. If you mess with me, I would take over. However, the Grand Elder went to rescue people, which obviously made him grudge against the Qingfeng Sect, which made Mu Tong very difficult to deal with.
After all, Feng Qingyun was his master and the Grand Elder of the Qingyun Sect.
"Master, why did the Grand Elder suddenly appear in the Qingfeng Sect? Why did he go to rescue Yangling Hou?" The question was asked by the Sixth Elder, a fat old man.
The other elders also stared at the Master, and it was obvious that they didn't know the reason.
Mu Tong was silent for a while, and then said: "Well! You will know it eventually."
After a pause, he continued: "There is a deal involved here."
"Deal? What deal?" The elders were confused. The Qingyun Sect had a deal with the Great Qin Dynasty. As the six elders in the sect, how could they not know?
"You may also know that there is an old ancestor in my sect who has been in seclusion."
The elders nodded. As the elders who hold real power in the sect, they all know that the real core secret of Qingyun Sect is that there is another old ancestor who is still alive and in seclusion. It's just that he hasn't appeared for a long time, and no one knows whether he is alive or dead.
"You may not know that this old ancestor has been stuck at the half-step grandmaster for many years and has never been able to break through. If he didn't break through again, he would have died in a few years. I don't know how this news was known to the Great Qin Dynasty. They came to my door and made a deal with my master. The content of the deal is that the Great Qin Dynasty will help my ancestor break through to the grandmaster, and Qingyun Sect needs to guard Qingzhou forever to ensure that Qingzhou is not in chaos. At the same time, let my master personally teach the children of the Great Qin royal family, so he has not been in the sect for these years."
Mu Tong said slowly, but what he said shocked the elders.
