"It's okay, I have my own plans."
Xiang Sheng smiled and said, "I'd like to trouble Brother Zhong to do me a favor."
After Zhong Yongchang heard what Xiang Sheng said, his expression changed, and he finally sighed softly: "I understand."
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, let's say goodbye now."
Xiang Sheng clasped his fists, turned around and walked quickly down the mountain. His figure disappeared at the end of the mountain road in a few flashes.
…
After bidding farewell to Xiang Sheng, Zhong Yongchang caught up with his father who had been waiting for him not far away.
The two of them boarded the spirit boat, and Zhong Yongchang skillfully manipulated the formation to return home. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Father, why did you save Si Wuyue?"
Others don't know the inside story, but he sees it clearly.
The father had no intention of saving Si Wu Yue, but when Si Wu Yue was about to take action, he suddenly changed his mind. What was the reason for the change?
Could it be that... Si Wu Yue's identity is somewhat special?
Zhong Yishan, who was resting with his eyes closed by the side of the boat, opened his eyes a little and asked casually, "Want to know?"
Zhong Yongchang nodded honestly: "I do."
Zhong Yishan pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth, "As long as you are willing to succeed the Guimu Valley Master, your father will tell you immediately."
Zhong Yongchang listened to this and sighed wearily, "Father, you're less than five hundred years old, why are you so anxious to step down? Isn't it good to be the Valley Master and be respected?"
"Since you feel so powerful, why are you so reluctant to take over?" Zhong Yishan turned the tables.
Zhong Yongchang was speechless for a moment, and could only look up at the sky, pretending not to hear.
Seeing his son acting so shameless, Zhong Yishan shook his head slightly. "Forget it. This matter concerns the Underworld, so it's okay to tell you."
Zhong Yongchang immediately became alert and stared at his father with burning eyes.
"That Si Wu Yue is not simple."
Zhong Yishan said in a low voice, "Let me ask you, what level of the Seven Senses secret technique have you learned?"
"Seven Senses?"
Zhong Yongchang looked embarrassed. "The Secret Art is really difficult to practice. It's not as easy to understand as the Way of the Sword. My progress has been slow. I've only just reached the Second Sense."
Zhong Yishan frowned slightly as he listened, "Your talent for practicing secret arts is indeed lacking."
Zhong Yongchang secretly rolled his eyes. He was already one of the four geniuses in Dongzhou, but in front of his father who was even more talented, he really had no reason to be proud.
"If you practice the Seven Senses to the fifth, you will develop a sense of connection."
Back to the point, Zhong Yishan recalled the fear he felt when Si Wu Yue was about to attack, and couldn't help but narrow his eyes, "If Si Wu Yue attacks, Jiang Daoyuan's life or death will be in jeopardy."
"What?!"
Zhong Yongchang was shocked. He had thought of many reasons for his father's actions, but he didn't expect the truth to be so... ridiculous!
He quickly realized something and exclaimed, "No wonder Fellow Daoist Si never reveals his cultivation level. She's also in the Nascent Soul stage?! Of course Jiang Daoyuan can't defeat a sword cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. So, Father, you didn't actually save Fellow Daoist Si, but Jiang Daoyuan?!"
"Not too stupid."
After praising his son, Zhong Yishan grinned, "It doesn't matter what level Si Wu Yue is at. What matters is that he's extremely cunning and dangerous. You must be careful when interacting with him."
Zhong Yongchang nodded subconsciously, then thought of something and asked with a strange look on his face, "But father, why did you save Jiang Daoyuan? He's secretly collaborating with the Underworld. Wouldn't it be better if he died today?"
"My father said it was hard to predict whether he would live or die, but he didn't say he would definitely die."
Zhong Yishan paused at this point, looking at Zhong Yongchang with a half-smile: "If I continue, it will involve the old news of the Five Sects. This is a secret that only the Sect Master can know. Are you sure you want to hear it?"
Zhong Yongchang was stunned.
Just now he was still wondering why his father, who had always been so secretive about secrets, suddenly became so generous. It turned out that he was waiting for him here!
But it feels really uncomfortable to hear only half of the secret.
Isn't it just being the Valley Master? The worst that can happen is that after taking over, I can just give up and leave all the work to the elders!
Thinking of this, Zhong Yongchang gritted his teeth and nodded: "Listen!"
Zhong Yishan immediately smiled.
…
Two days later, a piece of news was widely spread through Guimu Valley's intelligence channels.
The Supreme Master of Wanjian Sect, who has been famous for exorcising demons in recent years, suddenly announced his separation from Wanjian Sect, and even used Zhong Yongchang to openly speak to Fengyue Sect.
"Following the Xuanyin Sect battle, the Fengyue Sect leader could have simply taken his anger out on me alone. There was no need to resort to such despicable tactics and embarrass a small, insignificant sect. Otherwise, I would have to doubt whether the Fengyue Sect was a reputable and upright sect, or a vengeful and perverse sect."
Once these words were leaked, the whole world was shocked.
The Dongzhou cultivators who were still unaware of the inside story immediately began to inquire about the information related to the battle with Xuanyin Sect.
Fengyue Sect had already sealed up the matter in advance, but could not withstand Baihua Valley's deliberate spreading of the truth, causing an uproar throughout the world!
There are also rumors that on the night the news broke, Jiang Daoyuan was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted on the spot.
Xiang Sheng had naturally heard the rumors, but she had no intention of making fun of them. She had more important things to do at the moment.
