Evil Master and Disciple

Chapter 1526 Site Selection and Investigation

Although Lingyin walked very slowly, she was hoping that the boy would catch up with her from behind.

However, she never got what she wanted.

She still doesn't understand Ye Feng.

Ye Feng is a simp who listens to women, but also a complete straight man.

Lingyin told him not to come out to see him off, and he took her advice to heart.

Lingyin advised him to focus on his cultivation recently, and he listened to her advice.

So while Lingyin was still looking back every few steps, hoping for Ye Feng's appearance, Ye Feng had already planned his cultivation schedule for the next few months, aiming to achieve outstanding results in the Lingshan Grand Competition, become famous throughout the world, marry a beautiful and wealthy woman, and reach the pinnacle of life.

When Lingyin walked out of the passage and arrived at the cave in front, she did not look back.

My high expectations turned into deep disappointment.

She casually greeted Ling Yunzhi and the others before walking out of the cave.

Chu Liunian and the others did not realize that Lingyin had left.

After a while, Li Xue, who came in from outside the cave, told everyone that their sect leader's wife had just flown in the air towards the northwest. Everyone thought that the sect leader's wife had gone out for a walk to relax.

Only Ling Yunzhi knew that Lingyin had left.

Even if Lingyin didn't leave today, Ling Yunzhi would have found a way to force her to leave.

He already regarded Ye Feng as his good brother, and Ling Yunzhi would never stand by and watch Ye Feng fall into the arms of Ling Yin, this demonic witch.

After lunch, Ye Feng gave some instructions to Luan Xiong, Li Xue, and the others, and then left the Holy Maiden Sect with Ling Yunzhi, Qin Ying, and Chu Liunian, flying towards the depths of the Tianyun Mountains to find a suitable new place for the Holy Maiden Sect to settle down.

Ye Feng adopted Ling Yunzhi's suggestion from last night, making the abandoned Buddhist temples and monasteries in the Tianyun Mountains his primary target.

The Buddhist sects, including the Yunhai Sect, and other cultivation sects in the Tianyun Mountains suffered heavy losses during the Jiazi Immortal Hunt and frantically infiltrated the Tianyun Mountains.

At that time, the Yunhai Sect was severely weakened and had no power to stop it. So for a considerable period of time, the Buddhist sect built many temples and monasteries in the Tianyun Mountains, attempting to turn this Taoist holy land into a Buddhist holy land.

However, as the Yunhai Sect gradually recovered, the Buddhist sect's plan completely fell through.

One Buddhist force after another was driven out of the Tianyun Mountains by the Yunhai Sect.

After the Buddhist sect left, many places were divided up by various sects in the Tianyun Mountains, but many former Buddhist sites remained unoccupied.

These are the places Ye Feng wants to investigate.

Ling Yunzhi has identified four Buddhist ruins as key targets for investigation. The first place is about 300 miles west of the Holy Maiden Sect. It used to be a nunnery called the Discipline Nunnery.

According to the map, Ye Feng and his companions arrived at the location of Fengji Temple in less than half an hour.

This is a majestic and imposing mountain peak, about a thousand feet high. There are human towns more than a hundred miles to the north.

This place is characterized by high mountains, dense forests, and roaming wild animals; ordinary people would almost never come here.

The four flew closer to Fengji Temple and saw houses stretching from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain.

There is a square on the mountainside, which should have been the place where the nuns of Fengji Nunnery used to preach.

The group landed on the plaza halfway up the mountain.

Looking around, the scene is one of devastation. The once magnificent temple halls are now covered with vegetation, and some buildings have collapsed.

Standing in the square, the stone slabs are no longer visible; they are all covered with a thick layer of lichen and moss.

Ye Feng and the others stood at the edge of the square, looking around.

Surrounded by towering mountains and swirling clouds, the spiritual energy here is many times greater than that dilapidated cave of the Holy Maiden Sect.

The main hall in the square is the tallest building, and looking down, you can see many houses and palaces scattered in a well-organized manner on the sunny side of the mountain.

However, at least a third of the palace buildings have collapsed.

Ye Feng said, "This place has been abandoned for two or three hundred years, hasn't it? So many houses have collapsed."

"What do you mean two or three hundred years? Fengji Nunnery was driven away by your Yunhai Sect 1,200 years ago."

"Huh? This place has been abandoned for 1,200 years? My goodness! After so long without any maintenance, only about a third of the buildings have collapsed. It seems that the Buddhist temple was very sturdy when it came to building materials back then. No one took kickbacks or profited from it..."

Ling Yunzhi chuckled and said, "Throughout history, corruption in engineering projects has been the most serious. I don't believe anyone would say that no one takes kickbacks or benefits from them."

The reason why most of the houses and palaces here have lasted for so many years is not mainly because of the solid materials used, but because the cultivation sects set up magic arrays and barriers inside and outside the houses and palaces to resist the erosion of time.

The magical arrays and barriers on these buildings in Fengji Temple should have disappeared by now, and it is estimated that it will not be long before all the houses and halls here collapse.

"Old Ye, what do you think of this location? Is it suitable as a new site for the Holy Maiden Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng looked at Chu Liunian, who had been sullen all day.

He said, "Xingyun, what do you think?"

Although Chu Liunian was still angry, she was, after all, from a prestigious family and could still distinguish between important and trivial matters.

The selection of a site for the Holy Maiden Sect is a major event and cannot be taken lightly.

Chu Liunian did not immediately offer his opinion, but instead asked, "Young Master, are there any sects or independent cultivators' caves nearby?"

Ling Yunzhi took out a map of the Tianyun Mountains.

This map was drawn by Qingyun Pavilion. It is the most detailed map in the human world, bar none. It marks the surrounding forces and sects in detail.

Ye Feng and the others craned their necks to look at the map.

Ling Yunzhi began to explain to everyone based on the map and the surrounding mountain terrain: "This mountain is called Tianqing Peak. There are many sects around it, but it is not as close to Luoying Sect as the Holy Maiden Sect."

There are several sects in the east, three in the west, one in the north, and more than ten in the south.

Sixty miles to the north, on Thousand Forest Peak, there is a sect called Thousand Forest Sword Sect, with about four hundred disciples. It is much weaker than Falling Blossom Sect and is the closest sect to this place.

The true techniques and supernatural abilities passed down in the Thousand Forest Sect are not very impressive. The sect leader's cultivation level is only at the Divine Silence Realm, posing no real threat to the Holy Maiden Sect. As for the other sects, they are almost all over a hundred miles away.

Chu Liunian carefully studied the map to understand the general situation of the place, and then looked around at the surrounding mountains.

Ye Feng asked from the side, "Xingyun, what do you think of this place?"

Chu Liunian said, "This is not the most ideal location to establish a sect."

"Oh, I think it's great. There's no one around for miles, it's very quiet."

Chu Liunian shook his head and said, "This Tianqing Peak stands out like a crane among chickens. The surrounding mountains are low, making it difficult to set up a large-scale protective formation. Even if it were set up, the protective formation would not be able to cover the entire Tianqing Peak. Therefore, Fengji Temple set up the main hall and the square halfway up the mountain, rather than in an area closer to the top. Once attacked by external enemies, this place would be a sitting duck."
