Evil Master and Disciple

Is Chapter 1537 about to begin?

After discussing Ye Feng's situation with Fu Tu, Venerable Yun Yi inquired about the situation of the Demonic Sect.

The various cultivation resources from the Demonic Sect have been almost fully integrated, and a secret transaction is scheduled for six days later.

The location for the transaction is to be somewhere in the Tianyun Mountains, but the specific location has not yet been determined by both parties.

Master Yunyi was not surprised by the Demonic Sect's swift and decisive actions in this matter.

If he knew that there were many spies and moles within his sect's higher-ups, he would be even more anxious than the sect leaders and lords of the Demonic Cult.

Fu Tu said, "Sect Leader, news has come from the Demonic Sect that several of its major sect leaders will be present for this secret transaction. Should we make some preparations? The Demonic Sect is treacherous and cunning; we must be on guard."

Master Yunyi nodded and said, "We must be wary of the Demonic Sect playing tricks during the transaction, but we can't be too ostentatious. This transaction is being conducted in secret, and it wouldn't be good if everyone knew about it. Isn't the transaction in six days? There's still plenty of time. I'll think about it some more in the next few days."

After discussing the matter with the Demonic Sect, Venerable Yunyi inquired about the situations with the Jade Maiden Sect, the Xuanzhen Sect, the Lingtai Temple, and the Chaotian Sect.

Strangely, these major righteous sects have kept a low profile over the past few days.

It's worth noting that a major upheaval had recently occurred in Beijing, followed by Jiuhua Mountain and Qinglong Mountain.

Master Yunyi could understand why the Jade Maiden Sect was keeping a low profile.

The fact that other major powers were keeping a low profile forced Master Yunyi to be on guard.

These are all ancient and powerful sects. If the Cloud Sea Sect can investigate these things, these other sects might be able to as well.

Faced with this strange calm among the various sects, Yun Yi Shangren felt uneasy, as if these sects were brewing a grand conspiracy.

After dealing with external matters, Venerable Yunyi turned his attention to the internal affairs of the Yunhai Sect.

"Futu, how are Changkong and Jinghong doing lately?"

Fu Tu's face was somewhat bitter as he said, "They appear calm and polite on the surface, but there are undercurrents beneath. Their struggle seems to be even more intense than before."

Especially in the Transmission Hall and the Discipline Hall, the two have had several confrontations in the past few days.

Master Yunyi said calmly, "The Transmission Academy is Changkong's stronghold and his greatest asset. Although Jinghong arranged for many people to enter the Transmission Academy while Changkong was imprisoned, and many of Changkong's former people defected to Jinghong, Changkong has been operating in the Transmission Academy for decades. How could Jinghong easily control it?"

Jinghong's involvement in the Transmission Academy is too short-lived, and his foundation there is unstable. If Changkong had remained imprisoned, Jinghong might have been able to completely control the Academy within a year or two. However, Changkong has only been imprisoned for three months, and now he's back in charge. With his abilities, he can expel all of Jinghong's influence within the Academy in a very short time.

Fu Tu said, "Recently, Chang Kong rearranged several elders and deacons of the Transmission Academy, which has indeed weakened Jing Hong's influence in the academy. However, Martial Aunt Xuan Chi occasionally visits the Transmission Academy recently. With her around, nephews Chang Kong and Jing Hong should not cause any major disturbances."

Master Yunyi nodded slightly.

Although Uncle Xuanchi is old, his seniority is still there.

Moreover, Master Xuanchi is still the chief elder of the Transmission Academy.

With her overseeing the Transmission Academy, Master Yunyi naturally felt very at ease.

"Futu, you just said that Changkong and Jinghong also had a match in the Discipline Hall? What has Fourth Brother been doing lately? Has he gone into seclusion again?"

Master Yunyi found it rather strange.

How did these two start fighting over the monastery?

Although Yu Chenzi, the chief elder of the Disciplinary Academy, did not participate in the struggle for succession, nor did he choose to take sides.

However, his prized disciple, Tu Qianchi, was a high-ranking member of Fu Jinghong's faction.

Since Yu Chenzi has not personally intervened in the affairs of the Discipline Hall for the past few decades, most of the matters of the Discipline Hall have been handled by Tu Qianchi and the sixteen deacons.

The disciplinary academy had already become Fu Jinghong's possession.

Why would Dugu Changkong extend his reach to the Disciplinary Academy?

Fu Tu said, "No, ever since Junior Nephew Chang Kong was released from confinement, Senior Brother Yu Chen has started to appear in the Discipline Hall every day to handle affairs. Tu Qian Chi's power in the Discipline Hall has been affected to some extent. Perhaps because of this, Junior Nephew Chang Kong felt that he could interfere in the affairs of the Discipline Hall, and has been running to the Discipline Hall quite often recently."

"Sect Leader, what do you think Senior Brother Yu Chen means by this? He used to rarely appear at the Discipline Hall, maybe once a month, but now he goes there every morning and doesn't leave until sunset… Senior Brother Yu Chen's sudden diligence is a bit unsettling. Does he think that since you didn't pursue such a serious matter as Junior Nephew Chang Kong, he believes Chang Kong is your best choice? Has he already chosen sides?"

Master Yunyi's eyes flickered slightly. He said, "The Discipline Hall is in charge of the sect's laws and punishments. It must be fair and honest to earn the respect of the disciples. Fourth Brother knows that in the entire Yunhai Sect, anyone can take sides, but he, as the head of the Discipline Hall, cannot."

I still trust the fourth brother. He must have other reasons, so there's no need to worry about him. As long as the disciplinary hall doesn't cause too much of a commotion, it's fine.

I will be in seclusion for the next few days, so please don't disturb me. Hold off on everything until I emerge from seclusion.

Futu was slightly taken aback.

The deal with the Demonic Sect is about to be made, and at this crucial juncture, the sect leader is choosing to go into seclusion?

Although Futu had doubts, he dared not speak them aloud. As a shadow, he only needed to carry out the sect leader's orders.

After Futu left, Master Yunyi also left the room.

When it reappeared, it was already at the entrance of the Ancestral Temple on the back mountain.

It was already sunset, and the sky was dark.

Master Yulin walked over from the direction of the bamboo forest to the north, carrying a broom.

Master Yunyi did not enter the ancestral hall, but stood at the entrance of the ancestral hall waiting for his third junior brother.

"Third brother, has Fairy Linglong left?"

When Master Yulin walked to the giant cauldron, Master Yunyi asked a question.

Master Yulin nodded slightly and said, "In the past two days, Yu Mian, Yu Ying, and Yu Long have visited Fairy Linglong one after another. This morning, Fairy Linglong came to say goodbye to me. She has already left Tianyun Mountain."

"Oh."

Master Yunyi gave a soft "oh," and couldn't help but glance at the bamboo building not far to the north.

After a moment, he looked away and said calmly, "Third brother, are you ready about that matter?"

Yu Lin said expressionlessly, "What, are we about to begin?"

"Well, if you're ready, I plan to start tonight, and if all goes well, it should be over in three days."
