"Number Five, how do you think we should turn things around? Now, if he were to trade with his second brother, he definitely wouldn't do it. He might even laugh at us, "Yun Chen said dejectedly.
"We definitely won't do it now. However, there are many other ways we can use. First, we can fight for the patriarch's position. The patriarch is obviously about to fade away. Furthermore, the Fourth and Ninth Clan Elders were originally members of the Patriarch's bloodline. If we can win their support. In that case, the prestige of your lineage will increase imperceptibly by a lot. At that time, your authority in the council of elders will increase greatly. At that time, if there is no progress in the capital, we will have a reason to go to Bailu Mountain. "
"What reason?" Yun Chen asked.
"Isn't it simple? Just find a random reason. For example, finding a so-called map and finding some so-called clues. We can fabricate all of this. We just need to find a good reason. "
Yun Zhi was like his name, good at using his brain.
Yun Chen's words made Yun Chen feel enlightened. The situation became clear.
Yun Chen slapped his thigh. "Good! Fifth brother, I will go visit the patriarch now. I will express my goodwill to the patriarch. If we can take the opportunity to win over number four and number nine, our faction will have a lot of power. "
Yun Zhi said, "The situation in the family is very delicate right now. If we are any slower, they will probably join the second elder's faction. Second brother has already won over a lot of people without batting an eyelid. Third brother, I am a bit worried. Number four and number nine have already reached an agreement with second brother. However, even if they reach an agreement now, their relationship won't be too close. If you want to fight for them now, it might not be too late. "
Yun Chen was a bit panicked when he heard this.
If the fourth and ninth elders who were originally on the patriarch's side all joined the second elder Yun Qian's faction, then the power of the second elder Yun Qian's faction would be very frightening.
After all, Yun Qian's faction already had a close relationship with the seventh elder. Add on number four and number nine.
The nine elders meant that he controlled four factions. The power of these words was definitely not an ordinary level of strength.
"Fifth Brother, thank you for reminding me. I'm in a mess right now. If it weren't for your idea, I would've lost the battle. "Yun Chen still had lingering fears.
As they were talking, a person suddenly rushed in from outside. It was Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao was carrying a person in his hands, his face full of exhaustion, "Clan Elder, fortunately, I didn't disappoint you. I chased him all the way and finally caught him alive. In order to track down the murderer, I brought him back as soon as possible. "
With that, Yun Zhao threw the captive on the ground.
That person was one of Yun Chao's followers, and he was a Rank 1 Dao foundation Realm follower. That person's face was pale, and he didn't dare to meet Yun Chen's eyes.
"Yun Zhao, well done." Yun Chen nodded. He stared at the captive and shouted, "Raise your head."
That person's whole body trembled like a sieve, and he kept kowtowing, "Clan elder, clan elder, please spare my life."
"Raise your head." Yun Chen's tone was even colder.
That person did not dare to disobey. He raised his head with a pale face, and when his gaze met Yun Chen's, he retracted it.
"Tell me, how did Chao 'er die? Don't leave out any details. Tell me exactly what happened, and I might consider giving you a quick death. Otherwise … "
When that person was caught, he knew that it was impossible for him to live. He was lucky to be able to ask for a quick death.
However, if he could live, who would be willing to die?
He cried bitterly, "Clan elder, I admit that I am a coward who is afraid of death. However, Young Master Chao's death really has nothing to do with me. The situation at that time was like this … "
That person did not dare to make up any lies, and he described the situation in detail.
When he talked about Yun Chao being shot, he purposely exaggerated and pushed all the responsibility to the two captains who escaped first.
"There were so many of you. Who shot the arrow? Did none of you see clearly?"
That person said miserably, "No. At that time, the arrow was shot from the side. When we tilted our heads to look, we only saw a black shadow climbing over the wall. We could roughly see that it was a man. However, we did not see his face at all. "
"Was it a young man or an old man?"
"I couldn't tell. It was too fast. It was just a glimpse, and I couldn't tell his age. "
"So, when Chao was shot, you not only didn't chase after the murderer, but also hid Chao's body, and only cared about evading responsibility, right?" Yun Chen's anger suddenly flared up.
That person did not dare to answer, and said sadly, "Clan elder, we originally planned to chase after the murderer, but the two captains abandoned us, and our morale was broken. In addition, some people proposed to escape, and some proposed to steal Young Master Chao's identity token to escape, so … "
Yun Chen was so angry that he laughed, "So you were greedy for life and afraid of death, and hid the master's body? You missed the best chance to chase after the murderer? "
That person trembled all over, and did not dare to fight back.
Yun Chen's original intention was to slap him to death directly, but he still held back, and shouted, "Take him away, and when the other traitors are caught, they will all be skinned and stuffed with grass!"
…
This time, Qin Yi did not return to the Tingyu Tower, but wandered to a tavern. This was the place where he had arranged to meet Lu Jing and the others.
He could clearly feel that behind him, there were several pairs of eyes, overtly and covertly, following him, watching him.
"I thought that old Yun Chen was really so easy to talk to, and would let me out. He probably thought that there were other people behind me. Letting me out, is it to catch a big fish with a long line? "
Qin Yi secretly felt it was funny, but did not expose it. Leisurely drinking in the tavern.
Originally, he had an appointment with Lu Jing and the other rogue cultivators to form a group to go to Bailu Mountain. Now it seemed that this time, he was afraid that he would miss the appointment.
"It's not a big deal to miss the appointment with Lu Jing and the others. It's just that I have an appointment with Xinyue tonight. If I am followed by these people like tarsal maggots, it will not be good. Let them follow, and when the time comes, I will think of a way to get rid of these guys. At worst, I will leave this capital tonight. "
Qin Yi made up his mind, and in the tavern, he drank contentedly.
Not long after, Lu Jing and the others arrived one after another.
"Hey, Brother Yi, you actually arrived earlier than us? We heard that you were taken away by the Yun family, and we all thought that you were in danger! "
"Not simple, not simple. The person taken away by the Yun family can actually come out with his hands and feet intact, Brother Yi, you are really not simple! "
These rogue cultivators all came forward to tease him.
