Sky Capital Peak, Misty Pavilion. Huo Kong sat behind his desk with a gloomy face as he read the information he had collected.
There was a rumor that the Nine Saints were dissatisfied with what had happened recently and intended to kill the inspectors of the sects. They were going to appoint the heads of the sects as inspectors themselves.
One could imagine how much of an impact this news would have on the major sects.
In the past, no one in the cultivation world dared to talk about the Nine Saints. Now the situation was getting out of hand. There were too many people gossiping. They couldn't kill them all, could they?
The Sage Realm had also noticed that something was amiss. Obviously, they had also realized that the situation was getting out of control. They had already ordered the investigation of Zhuge Chi and Lan Ming to be suspended. Instead, they were to focus on the internal affairs of the Misty Pavilion. They said that no one was to be left out, and that everyone's cultivation was to be verified.
After the internal situation was cleared up, they would focus on other matters.
He understood that this was to resist the outside world first. But the situation was getting worse. People kept disappearing in the Misty Pavilion and they needed to verify their cultivation. Should they verify the cultivation of these missing people? If someone had broken through to the Original Infant Stage to avoid verification, it would be natural. Then there would be many missing people and it would be difficult to trace them.
What was more serious was that people from the Misty Pavilion were constantly being killed.
Should they investigate when people from the Misty Pavilion were being killed? If they did not investigate, would they just sit and watch people from the Misty Pavilion get killed? With so many dead, should they send a large number of people to investigate and deter them? How could they concentrate on the verification? The fire had to be put out first!
He was angry and anxious at the same time. He hated that Ding Wei did not die earlier or later, he died at this time, causing him to have to take over this mess.
He was already constantly counting with his fingers how long it would take for the Misty Pavilion's Sect Leader to be replaced.
The Right Envoy Yue Guangming strode in with a haggard face. After cupping his hands in greeting, he placed a list of names on the table and said in a low voice, "There's news from below, another twenty-three people have gone missing and seventeen have been assassinated!"
Bang! Huo Kong did not even look at the list. He slammed the table and stood up, "Evil wind! Where did this evil wind come from!"
Yue Guangming said with a straight face, "Too arrogant!"
Huo Kong said, "There must be a traitor! Don't let me find out who it is, or I will skin him alive! "
Yue Guangming asked tentatively, "Master, do you suspect that it's an inside job?"
Huo Kong: "Other than insiders, who else would have such guts? Outside of the Misty Pavilion, who would dare to disrespect the Misty Pavilion? Who would dare to harm the people of the Misty Pavilion? Hehe, the Lord has decided to inspect this place, and the people here are either dead or missing. How can there be such a coincidence? It is obvious that someone is trying to stop the inspection! "
Then he said meaningfully, "Brightness, maybe the mole really isn't in the Holy Land. It's possible that he's in the Misty Pavilion in the human world. His tail has been stepped on, and he's starting to act in desperation! Take a look, all sorts of weird things have popped up. "He pointed at another piece of information on the table.
Yue Guangming went forward to take a look and found out that it was a rumor that the Sect Masters or Elders of the various sects would personally serve as inspectors.
After a cursory look, he put it down. "This subordinate has heard of this news. According to reports, the various sect leaders are already panicking." As he said this, he looked around and suddenly said in a low voice, "Although this is a rumor, the Lord might have the same idea. If the sect leaders were to serve as inspectors, they would be able to mobilize more power from each sect. Li Zhengfa used the power of his sect to forcefully intervene, and the people that the Misty Pavilion could not find were found by the Hundred Rivers Valley. The Lord should have seen the effect, and perhaps they really have the idea. "
Huo Kong also lowered his voice. "I don't rule out the possibility that the Lord might have the idea. Even if they had the idea, they would not have made it public. They must have made a sudden decision at the last moment. It is impossible for them to cause panic at this time."
"Yes! Master, you are right. " Yue Guangming nodded in agreement, but then he pointed at the list and lowered his voice again. "Sir, you should take a look at this list."
Hearing this, Huo Kong realized something was wrong. He picked up the list again and looked at it carefully, but he could not see anything. He frowned and asked, "Why is this list so simple?"
Yue Guangming looked around and walked up the stairs to his side. He whispered in his ear, "The missing Gu Zhengxing on the list is one of us. He was the one who arranged the death of that woman. Now that he has suddenly disappeared, I am worried that something might have happened to him. "
Huo Kong suddenly realized and was shocked. "Fool! What did you do? "
Yue Guangming quickly said, "Sir, don't worry. I have already arranged for people to kill him. I just hope that you are mentally prepared, just in case!"
Huo Kong was slightly relieved, but he was also getting more and more worried. The people in the Misty Pavilion belonged to different factions, and over the years, many of them had done many shady things. Even he was implicated. If things continued to develop like this, those missing people would cause many people to be unable to eat and sleep in peace!
Through this, he knew that a large number of people in the Misty Pavilion being assassinated and disappearing in large numbers was unprecedented. This sudden situation was probably something that many people did not expect.
"To be able to make a move against so many people in such a short period of time, and to be able to not leak any information, not even leaving a single person alive to report the news, this hidden person's power is not small, it's extraordinary!" Huo Kong sighed emotionally.
Yue Guangming reminded him, "Sir, that is twelve Immeasurable Fruits! If twelve Original Infant Stage cultivators really did it, it is not surprising that no one survived to report! "
Twelve Immeasurable Fruits! Huo Kong's heart itched. It was a pity that he could not get one. He did not know who was so powerful that they could steal something from the tightly guarded Immeasurable Garden. Thinking about it again and again, he still felt that it was unbelievable!
…
Yan Jing City, Tianxia Bank branch. The South Sea Third Master was sitting in front of an account book. Hong Gaitian, who was wearing the Misty Pavilion's uniform, looked at the account book and shook his head.
He couldn't look at a single word in the account book. He wasn't good at checking accounts either.
Not only couldn't he look at the account book, but he would also sigh. When he drew lots in the Saint Realm, he thought that he would be lucky. But looking at the situation now, it seemed like he was unlucky.
What could happen in the bank? It was definitely problems with money and accounts. Once the accounts were even, it was tough to find any problems.
Once he found trouble in this place, he would have to face the account book. He was worried to death. Now, he felt that it was much more convenient to check the accounts outside.
Now was the time where a knife was on his neck and rumors were spreading. Not caring whether the rumors were true or not, the Saint Realm was really pressuring him. South Sea Wizard King, who was his boss, was really anxious and was putting pressure on him.
He knew what his boss was thinking. He was afraid that he would be sent here to be an inspector. If he did well, he wouldn't get anything out of it. If he didn't, he would have his head cut off. Who would be willing to do such a thing?
The current situation was that in half a year, if he couldn't produce any results, the Saint Realm would kill him. Even if he produced results, he had to continue, otherwise, his boss wouldn't let him off.
"Haiz, to be involved in such a thing, I am really unlucky!" Hong Gaitian covered his face and sighed.
Outside the door, his trusted subordinate, the shifty-eyed Duke Su, walked in. He sneakily passed a piece of paper to him, "Third King, someone gave us more intel."
Hong Gaitian picked it up and was delighted, "Who is this? He even gave me news of him stealing someone else's wife. What is he trying to do?"
Duke Su raised three fingers. "Three Great Kings, this is already the third piece of information that we've received out of the blue. Should we investigate it?"
Hong Gaitian frowned, "How can we investigate this unknown clue? Don't let people dig a hole and bury it. "
Duke Su bowed and got close to him, "Since we have a clue, then why not investigate it? Maybe it is true? It is better than us being clueless. If there is a mistake, we can just honestly tell who sent us the intel. Third King, half a year, he only gave us half a year's time. If we can't produce anything within half a year, we will all lose our heads. "
Hong Gaitian's eyes flickered. He seemed to be moved. After thinking for a while, Bang! He stood up with his hands on his hips, raised his head and puffed out his chest, "Good! Investigate! "
…
In the secret room of the cottage, Yun Ji entered and threw a few more pieces of paper on the table.
Niu Youdao, who was leaning against the back of the chair, leaned forward and reached out to pick up the paper. After reading it, he chuckled and shook his head. With an emotional look, he said, "Here it comes again. The harvest is not small!"
He had previously ordered everyone to attack the Misty Pavilion to dig out some intel to use as a cover, but he didn't expect that it would have such an unexpected effect.
It was really unexpected that he had unintentionally gotten a good hand.
Gong Lince and the others all sent messages to praise him, praising him for his brilliance. It was not just words, but they were sincerely convinced by him, praising him for his ability to strategize.
Actually, that was not the case at all. No one had ever messed with the Misty Pavilion like this before, so Niu Youdao was not confident. He also didn't expect that the usually high and mighty Misty Pavilion did not have many tough bones, and yet there were so many unexpected secrets.
Only then did he realize that the Misty Pavilion was indeed riddled with holes. He had not even touched many people, and already these secrets were revealed. If he were to expand the scope, the Misty Pavilion would probably not have many clean butts.
The Nine Saints were in such a mess, it was enough for him to have fun for a while. No wonder the Nine Saints wanted to clean up.
He had already sent word to capture and interrogate the Misty Pavilion's people alive!
Seeing him happily reading other people's secrets, Yun Ji raised her finger and pointed at the letter in his hand. "There's a letter asking you. There are also some sect inspectors who can't find anything to do. Do you want to give some clues to the various sects?"
Niu Youdao did not even raise his head, continuing to read the contents in his hand. He shook his head slightly, "No! We just need to give out some clues. If someone achieves something and survives, there will be comparisons. Those who can't survive will be anxious. We have to make the other sects anxious. The Misty Pavilion has dead and missing people, they are not stupid. They will slowly figure out where the clues came from. Don't you think it's interesting to drag the other sects into this mess to find clues that can save their lives? We can't be the only ones doing the bad things. "
