"In short, don't act rashly. Although the Dragon City Talisman is precious, it's not enough for us to take such a risk. Some hermit masters have strange temperaments and don't act according to common sense. You should pay more attention to those two girls and inform me immediately if there's any news. "
Xie Rengui slowly closed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the table as if he was thinking about something. Yun Pengqing tactfully got up and left. In fact, he was also wondering if the mysterious person who had saved them in the forest last time had anything to do with the Dragon City Talismans.
Logically speaking, if the two low-level disciples were related to the mysterious shadow, then many things could be explained.
"Oh, that's right. Sect Leader, I just remembered something," Yun Pengqing suddenly turned around and said, as if he had just remembered something when he reached the door.
"Are you talking about the youth that Su Wan 'er saved a few days ago?" Xie Rengui slowly opened his eyes.
When Yun Pengqing heard this, he was stunned. He thought to himself that the Sect Leader was indeed the Sect Leader. He had actually received this news so quickly. His ability was indeed much stronger than Yun Pengqing's.
"That youth is too young. Logically speaking, even if he cultivates ancient martial arts, his cultivation shouldn't be that high. There are many geniuses in this world, but there aren't many young people who are this strong. "Xie Rengui shook his head. The possibility of that young man being the mysterious shadow was too low.
"But according to my investigation, the two girls didn't have any special experiences these days. The only thing they did was save that young man."
Yun Pengqing said with a frown. The low-level disciples' daily lives were very peaceful. They followed a regular cycle. The only interlude was that Su Wan 'er had saved a young man. If there was nothing wrong with this young man, then he really couldn't think of any other reason.
"I've also sent people to keep an eye on that young man. Maybe it's not him, but we can't rule out the possibility that it's related to him," Xie Rengui said.
"Sect Leader, I am afraid that some people will have ulterior motives in this matter. After all, two Dragon City Talismans are too valuable. Also, you know that the last time we went to the Huatian Palace to exchange for the Dragon City Talismans, only the five of us old men and Mei Yixuan knew about it. However, the news was leaked …" Yun Pengqing suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence.
"Are you talking about a mole?" A cold light flashed in Xie Rengui's eyes.
After the previous incident, the Five Tigers Sect had been searching for the mole, but to no avail. In fact, everyone knew that this mole was one of the few people in the sect. However, it was not easy to find that person.
It was impossible for Mei Yixuan and Qi Hang, as they had received a mission at the last minute. Moreover, they had been watched by Yun Pengqing and Wang He along the way. There was almost no chance for them to leak any information. Among the remaining five people, other than Sect Leader Xie Rengui, who could be ruled out, the remaining four were all suspects.
Even if Yun Pengqing and Wang He, who had participated in the mission, were suspects, there was no evidence to prove that the two of them were not traitors. As long as they did not pass the presumption of innocence, they could be traitors.
All four of them were grand elders, and they possessed noble statuses. Thus, it was not easy to find the true traitor among the four of them.
Yun Pengqing was worried that the mole knew about the two Dragon City Talismans and might have evil intentions.
"Pengqing, do you know why I asked you to protect those two girls?" Xie Rengui said indifferently.
"Pengqing understands." A warm look flashed in Yun Pengqing's eyes. The Sect Leader had asked him to protect those two girls, so it was obvious that he trusted him.
…
That night, Mo Wen sat cross-legged on the wooden bed. The moonlight from outside the window shone on his face, causing his entire aura to become somewhat cold.
Suddenly, he frowned and glanced out the window. Then, he flipped over and lay down on the bed as if nothing had happened. He closed his eyes and his breathing instantly became calm and deep. It was as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
A shadow flashed past the window and quietly snuck into the wooden hut. At first, the shadow stood in the room without moving, only quietly looking at Mo Wen on the bed. After a full fifteen minutes, the person walked to the side of the bed. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Mo Wen's throat with lightning speed.
However, Mo Wen did not react at all. His breathing was still calm and deep.
The black shadow retracted his hand halfway. A look of doubt flashed in his eyes. After a while, his figure flashed and he slipped out of the window.
Mo Wen slowly opened his eyes and looked out the window expressionlessly.
"Testing me in the middle of the night? The Inner Qi waves on that person are somewhat similar to the two Five Tigers Sect Sect Grand Elders from the other day. He is most likely from the Five Tigers Sect. Could it be that the Five Tigers Sect is already suspecting me? "
Mo Wen knew that after what had happened in the forest last time, the Five Tigers Sect would certainly investigate the matter. However, he had not expected that they would actually investigate him. How did they connect the dots? The Five Tigers Sect's imagination was really rich.
Since he had been suspected, Mo Wen was not prepared to continue staying in the Five Tigers Sect. He needed peace and quiet. He did not want to be involved in the trivial matters of these ancient martial arts sects.
The next morning, Mo Wen left the house early, preparing to go to Wan 'er's small wooden hut. He wanted to at least let her know before he left.
Also, he liked Wan 'er very much. He had the intention of teaching her the art of medicine.
Speaking of which, Mo Wen was not a qualified doctor. He did not have a benevolent heart. He had only learned medicine because he had lived in an ancient medical family and had inherited their skills from generation to generation. If he had not lived in an ancient medical family, he might not have learned the art of medicine. In his eyes, only the Way of Immortals was his greatest pursuit. Only by becoming an immortal could he live as long as heaven and earth and shine as brightly as the sun and moon. No matter how good his medical skills were, they could not make him immortal.
If a person like Mo Wen had been born in an immortal cultivator family, he would certainly have been a hero of his generation.
Wan 'er had the heart to practice medicine. Only by teaching her the art of medicine would she be able to shine the brightest. Also, Mo Wen needed a disciple, someone who could bring the Mo Clan's medical skills to greater heights. The Mo Clan was an ancient medical family that had been passed down for thousands of years. Now that he had come to this world, Mo Wen did not want this legacy to be extinguished.
Of course, if Wan 'er wanted to become his disciple, she first had to pass his test. She had no problems with her moral character, but her ability was uncertain. If she did not have the talent, it would be difficult for her to become a person of great ability. Mo Wen would not have taught her the art of medicine.
When Mo Wen walked to the front of Wan 'er and Wang Qian's wooden hut, he discovered that the wooden hut was empty. The hut was a little messy. Given Wan' er's personality, it was impossible for her not to clean the hut before she left unless she had left in a hurry and had no time to clean.
"Where did she go so early in the morning?"
Mo Wen felt a little strange. Logically, at this time, Wan 'er should still be in the hut.
His deified soul swept out. In an instant, it covered the entire mountain peak, but he still could not find any trace of Wan 'er. However, he unexpectedly discovered that the valley below seemed to be rather lively. Many people had gathered. Based on the fluctuations of their auras, the cultivation of these people was not low. There were more than ten ancient martial art practitioners in the Embryonic Breathing Realm.
"Could it be that something has happened to the Five Tigers Sect?"
Mo Wen frowned. Before this, he had already investigated. The Five Tigers Sect only had five ancient martial art practitioners in the Embryonic Breathing Realm. However, more than ten of them had appeared today. Clearly, not all of them were from the Five Tigers Sect.
Mo Wen extended his deified soul in a single direction. Although the distance was a little far, it barely covered the position of the valley below.
"Preposterous!"
Mo Wen's expression instantly turned ugly. With a flash of his silhouette, he disappeared from his original spot.
…
The Five Tigers Sect was located in the square in the middle of the valley. A large number of disciples wearing the Five Tigers Sect's uniform appeared here.
In the middle of the square stood two three-meter tall crosses. A person was tied to each cross.
They were two young women. They were not very old. The older one was in her early twenties, while the younger one was only fourteen or fifteen years old. They were none other than Wang Qian and Su Wan 'er.
Their limbs were tightly bound to the crosses by metal chains. There were many wounds on their bodies, and their clothes were dyed red with blood.
Two tall and burly men held leather whips in their fingers. The whips whistled through the air, constantly lashing the bodies of the two young women.
On one side of the square, there was a jade throne. An elder sat boldly on the throne, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand. He looked expressionlessly at Wang Qian and Su Wan 'er, who were in the square.
On both sides of the elder stood a few people. The person closest to him was a beautiful middle-aged woman. She was dressed in silk and jewels. Who else could it be but the young madam of the Five Tigers Sect, Fu Yu? Right now, she did not have any arrogance or haughtiness. She stood respectfully beside the elder.
On the other side of the elder stood another elder. This elder had a gloomy expression, and his eyes were cold. He stared at them like a venomous snake. It was none other than the Baili Sect Sect Grand Elder, Cheng Zongping.
Compared to that day, Cheng Zongping was even colder. His entire person was like an active volcano that was about to erupt.
There was a stretcher in the square. It was covered by a cloth. It seemed like a corpse was lying on it.
"Su Wan 'er, Wang Qian, you two b * tches, do you admit to your crimes?"
Fu Yu shouted coldly. She looked at the two people in the square arrogantly. The expression on her face was extremely arrogant.
Wan 'er bit her lip and did not say a word. The whips kept lashing on her body, but she did not say a word. She had not done anything wrong. Why should she admit to her crimes?
Wang Qian screamed as she was whipped. Her face and body were covered in blood. The pain was excruciating, but she gritted her teeth and refused to lower her head.
"Beat them. Beat them hard. Beat them until they admit to their crimes."
Fu Yu's expression was very ugly. These two b * tches were actually so stubborn.
Many Five Tigers Sect disciples surrounded the square. However, no one dared to step forward. No one dared to speak.
"Sect Leader Yang, what is the meaning of this? This is the Five Tigers Sect, not your Baili Sect. "
Yun Pengqing stood in the square. However, right now, his expression was extremely ugly. He was on the verge of exploding. His eyes were burning with rage.
The person sitting on the throne was none other than the Baili Sect Leader, Yang Gongcheng. He was known as the number one expert in the Taihang Mountains.
This morning, Yang Gongcheng had led a group of Baili Sect experts into the Five Tigers Sect. He had directly kidnapped Su Wan 'er and Wang Qian. Yun Pengqing had been ordered to protect the two of them in secret. However, he could not stop them alone. Even now, there were still two people in the Embryonic Breathing Realm holding him on both sides. The moment he moved, they would immediately push him back. (To be continued.)
