【Chapter 178】Shi Hongyi is abandoned
At the same time, Shi Hongyi was still talking to himself in his heart: Junior brother, I want to see if you can remain calm when you see your most proud disciple explode into a bloody mist?
Shi Hongyi and Shang Haoyan were originally brothers from the same school, but because Shang Haoyan was talented, diligent, studious, and filial, their master naturally favored Shang Haoyan, who joined later.
This made Shi Hongyi, who was the first to join the sect, feel very unbalanced. He felt that it was the appearance of Shang Haoyan that snatched away his master who should have been good to him.
Later, the master wanted to pass the position of sect leader to Shang Haoyan instead of him.
A long time ago, he regarded the position of sect leader as something that was sure to belong to him, so naturally he would not let Shang Haoyan take it away.
He knew what Shang Haoyan liked, so he deliberately had someone reveal the matter of an ancient formation to Shang Haoyan. He originally thought that Shang Haoyan would die in the ancient formation, but he didn't expect that Shang Haoyan would come back alive.
Fortunately, he finally inherited the position of clan leader.
Since he couldn't kill Shang Haoyan, he would get rid of the thing that Shang Haoyan cared about most.
Poor Ye Yuncheng had no idea that he was being plotted against by the sect leader and was being used as a tool to take revenge on his master.
The Palace Master of Yunjue Palace turned his head inadvertently and saw the strange smile on Shi Hongyi's lips.
In broad daylight, the Palace Master of Yunjue Palace couldn't help but shiver. He felt that the smile of the Taihua Sect leader was creepy and looked like he deserved a beating.
He couldn't help but say, "Master Shi, what made you laugh so happily? Why don't you tell us so that we can be happy too."
The other sect leaders who were watching the competition subconsciously looked at Shi Hongyi.
Shi Hongyi didn't expect that the Palace Master of Yunjue Palace would notice him, and his face froze. Even if he didn't look in the mirror, he knew that his smile just now was weird.
"I just suddenly thought of something funny."
The Palace Master of Yunjue Palace casually leaned back in his chair, his voice lazily asking, "What's so funny?"
In order to maintain their lofty image in the minds of their disciples, the top leaders of the major sects usually appear as middle-aged or elderly men.
Only the Palace Master of Yunjue Palace has remained in his twenties. Among all the sect leaders, he looked the youngest, but no one dared to look down on him.
On the contrary, all the clan leaders still secretly regard him as their leader.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sect leader immediately echoed him.
"I'm just bored, so let's listen to what Sect Master Shi has to say!"
"This sect master is also very curious."
"Master Shi, don't be stingy. Tell me quickly."
"Yes, Sect Master Shi, happiness alone is not as good as happiness with others."
“…”
Seeing that the Palace Master of Yunjue Palace disliked Shi Hongyi, the other clan leaders deliberately made things difficult for him.
In the competition arena.
As soon as he entered the formation, Ye Yuncheng sensed an unusual smell in the formation. He quickly took out a jade token from the Qiankun bag given by his master and put it on.
The formation contains drugs that disrupt the mind, and they are generally not allowed to be used in formal competitions. This is the unspoken rule.
This kind of medicine has been placed in the formation where he is now, and it is obvious that it was done intentionally by someone with ulterior motives.
He could guess who it was.
I guess Master also knows.
The jade token he had just taken out and put on was left by his forefather to his master.
He had heard from his master before that this jade tablet was found by his master in an ancient cave. It is engraved with complex ancient formations, and no one has yet figured out how to make the jade token.
Wearing this jade pendant can isolate all toxic gases within one meter around the body.
This jade token is of special significance to Master. The reason why he was given the chance to compete this time is probably because they knew that the formation had been tampered with and they didn't want anything to happen to him.
Since the other party was plotting against him on purpose, he would not have just used drugs that disturbed his mind. He must have other tricks up his sleeve.
After standing there and observing for a while, Ye Yuncheng discovered that although this trapping formation was only level three, it was one of the most difficult of the three levels. It was called the Five Elements Triple Combination Formation, and its power was comparable to that of a level four trapping formation.
The so-called Five Elements Triple Combination Formation utilizes the power of the Five Elements and the Triple Combination method to trap the enemy in the formation.
He did not learn the Five Elements Triple Combination Formation in Taihua Sect, and the reason he knew it was because the formation master of Yunjue Palace happened to teach him several complex formations yesterday, and the Five Elements Triple Combination Formation was one of them.
He just happened to learn how to crack it.
However, he was not in a hurry to break the formation. He just walked into the formation. Through the method taught by the formation master of Yunjue Palace, he discovered that there was actually a killing formation hidden in the trapping formation.
Blood mist life-destroying array.
Once the blood mist life-killing array is activated, the blood in the bodies of the living creatures in the array will boil, and finally reach a coagulation point, exploding like blood mist.
As long as you place a flag to start breaking the trapped formation, the blood mist death formation will be activated immediately.
If the formation master from Yunjue Palace had not taught him how to recognize formations, he would not have been able to detect the existence of the Blood Mist Life-Destroying Formation.
No wonder the master prepared a teleportation jade slip for him that could break the formation barrier. As long as he crushes the teleportation jade slip, he can be teleported out immediately.
I guess the master thought that he had never learned the Five Elements Triple Combination Formation. In this case, it would be impossible for him to break the formation without ten days or half a month.
Now it's a competition with a time limit. With his personality, instead of studying the formation meaninglessly, it would be better for him to come out and ask his master.
Neither his master nor those who wanted to harm him would have thought that he actually knew about trapping arrays and killing arrays, and could even break them.
Shang Haoyan in the stands hadn't seen Ye Yuncheng come out of the formation for a long time. Although he looked calm, he was very anxious in his heart, fearing that Ye Yuncheng would try to break the formation.
Originally, he thought that as long as Ye Yuncheng looked at the things in the Qiankun bag, he would know what to do.
The result was different from what he expected.
He regretted it very much now. If he had known earlier, he should have explained it directly to Ye Yuncheng.
Shi Hongyi was also anxious.
Shi Hongyi was naturally not worried about Ye Yuncheng, he was anxious why Ye Yuncheng had not yet activated the killing formation. But the Palace Master of Yunjue Palace kept staring at him, so he couldn't even check what was going on in the competition arena.
Ye Yuncheng reviewed the methods of breaking the Five Elements Triple Combination Formation and the Blood Mist Annihilation Formation twice in his mind. After making sure that there was no problem, he began to break the formation.
Even though he broke the formation as quickly as possible and ate a Soul-Restoring Red Fruit in the middle, it still took him an hour to break the formation.
When Shi Hongyi saw Ye Yuncheng coming out of the formation safely, he almost couldn't hold back the expression on his face. Under the watchful gaze of the Palace Master of Yunjue Palace, he pretended to be calm and greeted others.
Shang Haoyan stood up suddenly. His disciple came out safely without using the teleportation jade slip!
Ye Yuncheng came out of the formation and found that twelve participating monks had already broken the formation before him. Judging from the time it takes to break the formation, he will definitely be eliminated.
But if we count the difficulty of breaking the formation, he is definitely number one.
In this situation, he naturally couldn't suffer in silence.
He took a few steps forward and stood in front of the person who wanted to take the formation flag: "Senior, please wait."
The bribed fourth-level formation master felt a pang in his heart, worried that his tricks would be discovered by others, so he waved at Ye Yuncheng without thinking.
"Get out of the way."
It was impossible for him to kill anyone in public. He wanted to brush Ye Yuncheng away and then quickly put away the formation flag. That way no one else would find out what he did.
Of course, his idea is good.
But reality did not develop as he expected.
Two figures appeared in front of Ye Yuncheng, one after the other, and almost simultaneously swung their palms towards the fourth-level formation master.
The two men had no intention of killing anyone, they just wanted to teach the fourth-level formation master a small lesson.
However, neither of them expected that someone other than themselves would take action. The two attacks landed on the fourth-level formation master, who was knocked flying backwards, spitting out a large mouthful of blood in the process.
Finally it landed in front of the audience.
This result made the eyelids of the two people standing in front of Ye Yuncheng jump violently.
However, Ye Yuncheng saw the two people standing in front of him and called out happily, "Master, Grandfather."
The two people who took action were Ye Yuncheng and Shang Haoyan.
There are many Ye family members in Taihua Sect, and Shang Haoyan knows Ye Chenyuan. Before, Ye Yuncheng told him that he had found his grandfather, but he didn’t expect that Ye Yuncheng’s grandfather would be Ye Chenyuan.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, nice to meet you."
"Thank you, Master Shang Zhen, for taking care of Yun Cheng."
"Yun Cheng is very good. I am very happy to have him as my apprentice."
At this time, the referee came to the three people.
Ye Yuncheng took two steps forward, saluted to the referee, and took the initiative to ask: "Senior, why is the formation I am competing in different from others?"
The referee's first reaction was that it was impossible, but when he saw the two people behind Ye Yuncheng, he did not rashly refute.
"Let me see."
Ye Yuncheng stepped aside, and several people walked to the formation where he was competing.
The referee was a fifth-level formation master. What he didn't expect was that someone would actually dare to tamper with the formation of the competition.
"The formation Ye Yuncheng is competing in is indeed different from the others. According to the difficulty of the formation and Ye Yuncheng's speed in breaking the formation, he should be the first in the second round of competition."
At this point, the referee looked at the other cultivators competing and said, "If anyone of you has any objections, you can enter Ye Yuncheng's formation and break it."
Some of the other contestants had never seen the Five Elements Triple Combination Formation and the Blood Mist Life-Destroying Formation, and had no objection to the referee's decision; some were familiar with these two formations and knew the time required to break them, and thought that they could not break them as fast as Ye Yuncheng, so they did not raise any objections.
After finalizing the result of the competition, the referee said to Ye Chenyuan and the other two standing nearby, "Once we have investigated the cause of this matter, we will give you an explanation."
Ye Chenyuan politely replied, "Thank you."
Shang Haoyan also nodded.
In fact, both of them knew that there was no way to find out the truth of this matter. The person who set up the formation will be silenced, and the final result is that Ye Yuncheng will be given some cultivation resources as compensation.
Just at this moment, Shi Hongyi flew onto the competition field. He had a gloomy face, as if someone owed him spirit stones.
"What's going on?"
He seemed to be concerned about the fact that his sect's disciples were being plotted against, but in fact he was looking for an opportunity to kill the person who set up the formation.
Without waiting for others to speak, Ye Yuncheng stepped forward, bowed, and cried, "Sect Master, you have to take care of this disciple. Someone actually wanted to use the competition held by the five sects to harm this disciple. If this disciple had not been smart, he would have died in the formation."
Other sect leaders also flew to the competition arena and went to watch Ye Yuncheng's formation competition.
Seeing this, Ye Chenyuan quietly retreated.
The clan leader who understood the formation said after seeing it: "The person who set up the formation obviously wants to kill this young friend."
Someone else echoed: "Indeed, even the strictly ordered drugs were used."
Someone asked, "My friend, have you ever offended anyone?"
Ye Yuncheng shook his head and said, "After I joined the sect, I almost always practiced in the sect and didn't offend anyone."
Shi Hongyi said sternly, "How dare you plot against my Taihua Sect disciples? This matter must be investigated thoroughly."
"The competition is jointly organized by the five sects. Why not ask the Palace Master of Yunjue Palace to search the soul of this person?"
The voice came from outside the crowd. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ye Chenyuan holding the cultivator who had set up the competition formation for Ye Yuncheng.
The other clan leaders nodded one after another, indicating that this method was feasible, and Shi Hongyi could only nod in agreement.
The Palace Master of Yunjue Palace had no objection.
Ye Chenyuan threw the man in front of the Palace Master of Yunjue Palace.
The Palace Master of Yunjue Palace immediately began to search the soul.
But he quickly withdrew his hand.
Ye Chenyuan immediately asked: "How?"
The Palace Master of Yunjue Palace shook his head and said, "The person who asked this person to tamper with the formation of the competition was very cautious. The other party wore a mask when they met this person. This person does not know who plotted against Ye Yuncheng."
Hearing this, Shi Hongyi slowly loosened his clenched hands. He had met this person several times and was afraid that he would reveal his true identity and be recognized by this person. The words of the Palace Master of Yunjue Palace made him completely relieved.
I failed to kill Ye Yuncheng this time, but he may not be so lucky next time.
The murderer behind the incident was not found, and the final result was that the five sects each gave Ye Yuncheng something as compensation.
After the formation competition ended, Ye Yuncheng became famous for being tricked by others, which made everyone ignore his formation skills.
Everyone in Yunjue Palace lived in a courtyard in Tianyuan City.
Shang Haoyan was invited to this courtyard.
When he arrived, he found that besides him, Ye Chenyuan was also there, as well as his apprentice and a group of juniors.
"Master Shang Zhen, please take a seat." The Palace Master of Yunjue Palace called out.
After Shang Haoyan sat down, the Palace Master of Yunjue Palace said, "I invited you here to tell you that although I didn't see the face of the person who plotted against Ye Yuncheng when I searched his soul before, I saw clearly the jade pendant hanging around his waist."
As he spoke, he used his spiritual energy to draw the shape of the jade pendant in the air.
Although he had expected it, Shang Haoyan still stood up involuntarily when he saw the jade pendant.
"I think Master Shang Zhen already knows who the murderer behind this is." After saying this, the Palace Master of Yunjue Palace calmly drank his tea.
Shang Haoyan called Ye Yuncheng out.
It was unknown what the master and disciple talked about. Ye Yuncheng stayed in the courtyard, and Shang Haoyan returned to the temporary residence of Taihua Sect alone.
It was a dark and windy night, a time for murder and arson.
Shi Hongyi, who was resting with his eyes closed in the room, suddenly opened his eyes.
"who?"
"Brother, it's me."
Shang Haoyan walked out of the darkness.
"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Shi Hongyi said with a wary look on his face.
"Brother, why did you plot against Yun Cheng?"
"I don't know what you are talking about." Shi Hongyi turned his eyes away guiltily.
"Brother, you seem to have forgotten how you got the position of sect leader." As he said this, Shang Haoyan approached Shi Hongyi step by step.
"What do you want to do?" Feeling the killing intent, Shi Hongyi hurriedly took out his defensive magic weapon: "Don't come over here, don't forget that you promised Master not to kill me."
Shang Haoyan's cultivation was one level higher than Shi Hongyi's, and he had also set up a formation outside the room. Shi Hongyi didn't even have the strength to fight back before he was defeated by him.
