As Gong Zhuo wished, the Shadow Beast continued to stay in Jiang Baiji's house with the Shadow Stone in its arms.
The photo stone on which it had secretly recorded the conversation between the Jiang Baiji brothers had been taken away by Xie Yang.
Xie Yang used other photo stones to make several copies of the photo, and asked Juanjuan to deliver the original copy to Sect Leader Ji's desk, trying not to reveal his whereabouts.
Juanjuan was very careful and Sect Master Ji didn't notice it, but Xiao Yue, who was temporarily sleeping in Sect Master Ji's house, discovered it.
Xiao Yue didn't want to reveal his whereabouts for the time being, so he had been hiding with Sect Master Ji to rest recently.
"Which troublemaker was afraid that Senior Brother would be bored, so he sent me a picture?" Xiao Yue picked up the photo stone. "Senior Brother, do you mind letting me see it?"
Sect Master Ji looked at the suddenly appeared photo stone in surprise: "Who sent this?"
"It was carried by a gust of wind." Xiao Yue fumbled with the image stone and said with a smile, "This aura is somewhat familiar. It should be the Xie family kid who seemed shy and upright but was actually full of evil intentions last time."
"Xie Yang?" Sect Master Ji was puzzled. "Why would he send me the photo stone out of nowhere? Let's open it and take a look."
After reading the contents of the photo stone, Sect Master Ji's expression suddenly turned gloomy, and the smile on Xiao Yue's face disappeared.
The seven major sects are suppressed above the abyss, and the seven sacred artifacts of the sect are the most critical core of the formation.
Once the Medicine King Cauldron is taken away, the power of the Abyss will instantly counterattack, and the entire Medicine King Sect may be destroyed by the horned demons under it.
The people in Wanyao Valley probably don’t know the function of Yaowang Ding, they shouldn’t even know the existence of Yaowang Ding.
Now that I know, I must have been bewitched by evil cultivators.
Xiao Yue also thought of this and shook his head, saying, "It seems that Shennong Valley has given too much freedom to the Jiang family's side branches. Although those side branches probably won't be able to obtain the Medicine King Cauldron, if there is help from evil cultivators..."
Xiao Yue has always felt that the evil god worshipped by those evil cultivators is a living being. Although he cannot descend on the Canglan Continent directly, he has the means to control everything in secret.
He purposefully taught the evil cultivators many special evil arts, and the average level of those evil arts even exceeded that of the evil cultivators in the upper realm.
Sect Master Ji made two copies of the photo, one of which he passed to Sect Master Lin of the Medicine King Sect using a secret method, and the other to the current Valley Master of Shennong Valley.
"Since they don't value their current freedom, let the main branch take it back."
Xiao Yue was curious: "How do I recycle this thing?"
Sect Master Ji smiled and said, "Perhaps it was the will of Heaven. The companion spiritual plant of this generation's eldest son of the Jiang family is somewhat special. It is something that Junior Brother would find interesting."
Xiao Yue immediately became interested: "What kind of spiritual plant is it?"
"He has two companion spiritual plants. One is a sky-shading pine. It has grown enormous since it was young. It is said that it is now able to cover the entire Shennong Valley."
"The other one is a heritage tree that belongs exclusively to their Jiang family. Every leaf on it corresponds to a member of the Jiang family, regardless of whether they are from the main or side branches."
"Every time a member of the Jiang clan is born, a new leaf grows on the tree. Once the newborn's name is chosen, that person's name will automatically appear on the leaf."
Xiao Yue's eyes lit up: "Is it so interesting? I really want to see it. But what is the use of this tree?"
Patriarch Ji replied, "This tree is convenient for all Jiang clan members. As long as he cuts off the leaf representing a certain person, that person will lose the gift of being a Jiang clan member and will no longer be considered a Jiang clan descendant."
"It's amazing." Xiao Yue's eyes lit up even brighter. "So, if he cuts off all the leaves of that rebellious branch of the Jiang family, will those people lose their current ability to grow crops and refine herbs?"
Sect Master Ji nodded: "Yes, he will also forget all the cultivation methods and elixir formulas created by the Jiang clan. By then, his strength will surely drop significantly."
Xiao Yue couldn't help but clap his hands: "Great! It would be great if every family and sect had such an inheritance tree."
Sect Master Ji shook his head. "How could it be that easy? I've only heard of two trees like this. One is the companion spiritual plant of the current Young Master Jiang. The other is said to be the companion spiritual plant of the first Lord of Shennong Valley."
Xiao Yue said thoughtfully, "The appearance of these companion spiritual plants also has a purpose, right? The first generation needed the inheritance tree to better develop the family, and now the inheritance tree is needed to cut off the corrupt branches of the family."
Sect Leader Ji agreed with this: "That's the logic."
It’s a pity that some families don’t have such inheritance trees, otherwise the direct descendants would not be persecuted by the side branches.
After learning that Xie Yang had sent all the photos to Sect Master Ji, Yun Feimiao completely forgot about the conversation between the Jiang Baishu brothers and fell asleep soundly while holding Xie Yang.
According to his previous experience, such important matters should be left to the elders to handle, and the younger ones just need to report them.
He and Afeng should hurry up and catch up on their sleep so as not to delay their morning exercises.
During morning exercises, Yun Feimiao yawned several times in succession, and Jiang Qingruo and Gong Zhuo also looked a little tired.
Only Xie Yang was not affected by last night and still looked very energetic.
Yan Yan looked them over for a few moments before leaning over to Gong Zhuo and whispering, "Did you four go out stealing last night? Why do you all look so listless?"
"Where did these four come from?" Gong Zhuo was puzzled. "Doesn't Old Xie look quite energetic?"
Yan Yan nodded: "Yes, but aren't he and Junior Brother Xiaoyun inseparable? If Junior Brother Xiaoyun goes out with you, Junior Brother Xie will definitely follow."
Gong Zhuo's eyes wandered. "Although what you said makes sense, I am a direct disciple of the Wanjian Sect. I have no shortage of spirit stones. Why would I go out and steal in the middle of the night?"
Although he did take the storage items of those two people, he hid them in his private space and no one found them, so it was the same as if he didn't take them!
Yan Yan laughed and said, "So you went out to put a sack on someone?"
“…” Gong Zhuo looked at Yan Yan in surprise. He didn’t expect that the other party’s guess was so accurate.
"It seems I guessed right." Yan Yan couldn't help but laugh, "It seems we're going to have a good show today."
After Yan Yan finished speaking, he ran away happily and went back to practice his sword, waiting for an opportunity to go to Yaowang Sect to inquire about the situation.
Ever since he was beaten by his sixth brother on the martial arts arena, he especially likes to watch others get beaten, especially people like Jiang Baiji who deliberately disgust others as soon as they get on the stage.
The harder this kind of person gets beaten, the happier he feels.
Lei Feifei and Jin Ling'er, who were not far from them, also heard the conversation between the two. Lei Feifei was ready to rush out at any time.
Jin Ling'er held Lei Feifei's hand tightly and whispered, "Don't get excited, Junior Sister Lei. Let Senior Brother Yan go forward alone on this matter."
"If we all rush in, many people will think that this was done by our Wanjian Sect."
"We can't let this go. Even if we heard it, we have to pretend we didn't."
