Chapter 675: Just a reminder
There was another moment of dead silence in the hall.
The Tianyi Sect disciples opened their eyes wide, with disbelief written all over their faces.
The person in front of me is the grand elder of the Seven Stars Palace. What did he say?
Your Excellency???
This is definitely not just a question of how much face the ancestor has, right?
"Did I hear correctly?" a young disciple stammered, "The Grand Elder of the Seven Stars Hall called our ancestor... Your Excellency?"
"The Grand Master actually..." Another disciple was so excited that he could not speak coherently, "Our Tianyi Sect..."
Lin Xiuzhu was even more stunned, and the sword in his hand almost fell to the ground.
He suddenly had a feeling.
Our Tianyi Sect is also going to make progress...
Everyone was shocked, but they didn't know that Yun Qingqing was inexplicably communicating in secret with Elder Tianshu at this moment.
[What is your Excellency? Why did you change your words again? ]
Since the Seven Stars Hall has been claiming that the Queen Mother of the West is the "Lord" for two thousand years, and Yun Qingqing wanted to keep a low profile, she has always prohibited people from the Seven Stars Hall from calling her "Lord" in public occasions of the Xuanmen.
As a result, the last time Elder Tianshu had a conflict with the Tianxuan Sect, when he heard Qingpingzi calling her "Grand Ancestor", he changed his words to "Grand Master", and Yun Qingqing just followed his lead.
But today the old man would change his mind again.
The great elder remained calm and respectfully replied:
[After much thought, the disciple feels that the title of Grand Master is not worthy enough and does not match the status of the master. The title of Master sounds more majestic! ]
Yun Qingqing: [. . . . . . ]
Okay.
She rubbed her temples helplessly and decided to solve the problem at hand first.
In the moment when Yun Qingqing and the Great Elder were talking via telepathy, the disciples of the Seven Stars Hall had already dispersed silently.
Twelve elite monks each occupied a key position in the hall, with magic weapons in their hands glowing coldly, surrounding the entire hall.
This was what Yun Qingqing had arranged when she first sent a message to ask Elder Tianshu to come, in order to make up for her lack of spiritual power.
She raised her hand and made a gesture. A golden light flashed beneath her feet. The ground suddenly lit up with intricate array patterns. Golden runes flowed and spread like running water, covering the entire hall in an instant.
Feng Yin was shocked: "The Bureau of Inquiry!"
He turned to look at Yun Qingqing, and indeed found that her brows were slightly furrowed, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. He couldn't help but said worriedly: "Senior..."
Yun Qingqing glanced at him and shook her head imperceptibly.
Feng Yin understood and immediately shut up and said nothing more.
Before, Yun Qingqing had performed a fake self-examination at the mountain gate, using a sleight of hand. Feng Yin’s attainments in the formation were not low. By comparison, he immediately realized that this time it was for real.
Yun Qingqing looked around the entire hall and spoke in a cold voice:
"Today in this Conscience Bureau, no matter if you are a ghost cultivator or a traitor, no one can escape!"
When the last word fell, the whole hall suddenly shook, and everyone felt a "buzzing" in their minds, enveloped by a mysterious feeling.
There was another commotion among the disciples of Tianyi Sect.
There is no cultivator in the Xuanmen sect who is unaware of the power of the word "examination of conscience". Just now, all the disciples were worried about being hurt by mistake when catching the traitor, but now many of them are looking forward to it.
Suddenly, a question came from one of the disciples:
"Eh? Didn't the master say at the mountain gate that too much spiritual energy was consumed to perform the Questioning the Heart Game? Isn't this another trick?"
Feng Yin's face changed and he looked at the person who spoke, and was stunned.
The one who raised the question was the inconspicuous disciple who had been guarding the mountain gate before, Jiang Ping.
Feng Yin's heart skipped a beat - this is bad! This kid had seen the senior use a trick to pretend to be in the inquiry bureau!
Yun Qingqing just laughed softly.
"Interesting." She looked at Jiang Ping expressionlessly. "It was Feng Yin who said that the spiritual energy was consumed too much. At that time, I only answered him by telepathy. I never said that it was difficult to perform the heart-searching game, and I never mentioned the word "eye-catching trick"."
"How do you know all this?"
Jiang Ping's face changed and he stammered:
"This... Grandmaster, you seemed to be struggling at the time. And based on what Fellow Daoist Feng said... it shouldn't be hard to guess."
"Oh, I guessed it." Yun Qingqing nodded and said calmly, "The Inquiry Bureau didn't react. It seems that this is indeed the case."
Jiang Ping just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but suddenly his expression changed again.
Yun Qingqing took in his expression and curled her lips coldly:
"You're right. This Conscience Bureau is not just a trick!"
The muscles on Jiang Ping's face twitched a few times, as if he was trying hard to maintain his expression, but ultimately failed. He simply gave up and the expression on his face turned blank.
Yun Qingqing said calmly:
"To verify whether this is a true conscience bureau, why not start with you—"
"Jiang Ping, your suspicion that the Inquiry Bureau was a trick was actually meant to secretly warn the traitors present so that they wouldn't be frightened into telling the truth, right?"
Everyone looked at Jiang Ping in surprise, but saw that he remained silent. The expression on his usually harmless face gradually became ferocious.
He did not speak for a few moments. Suddenly, thick clouds gathered in the clear sky outside the hall, and there were faint sounds of wind and thunder, which made the disciples even more frightened.
Jiang Ping's expression suddenly changed. He stopped being silent and stared at Yun Qingqing and said in a sinister voice:
"Oh... so what? When did you find out?"
Yun Qingqing sneered coldly:
"You are covered in blood debts and have many flaws. I saw at first sight that you are the ghost cultivator who secretly controls Zhou Ming. If I wasn't afraid of alerting the traitors you instigated, do you think I would have kept you until now?"
When she said this, not only Jiang Ping's face changed, but everyone present's expression also changed.
Feng Yin's mouth twitched. He didn't expect that this little-known disciple guarding the mountain gate was actually a ghost cultivator, and the evil ghost on Zhou Ming's body was controlled by him.
His scalp tingled when he thought about how he had been so close to this thing before.
There is also a bit of resentment.
Senior Yun had already seen that this person was not a good person, so he gave him a reminder!
Lin Xiuzhu's eyes were filled with disbelief:
"Junior Brother Jiang... are you the ghost cultivator hiding behind the scenes and controlling Fourth Junior Brother?"
Jiang Ping's sinister laughter suddenly rang out in the hall.
"I didn't want to cause any trouble... but since you insist on dragging everyone to death, I will kill you!"
Jiang Ping clasped his hands together and the Yin energy in his body surged like boiling water.
His robes fluttered without wind, his face was distorted, and a strange green light flashed in his eyes:
"The ghosts gather and the Dharma appears——"
In an instant, the temperature in the hall dropped sharply, and a twisted black shadow suddenly rose behind Jiang Ping!
The black shadow expanded rapidly, revealing a hideous ghost face.
The negative energy spread like a substance, and the candlelight in the hall flickered violently, casting the distorted shadows of everyone on the wall, like a group of demons dancing wildly.
"Oh no! It's the Yin Dharma Image!" Feng Yin exclaimed.
He had seen this scene once in the Valley of Exotic Beasts. That time, Yun Qingqing had indeed easily dealt with it, but at that time, Yun Qingqing's spiritual power was neither exhausted nor did he almost fall into a state of decline!
"Senior Yun...be careful!"
