Chapter 188 The Demonic Cult Witch 17
At the request of Sect Leader Mu, not only did Mu Wenxuan's body have to be kept for 49 days, but all the sects affiliated with the Xuyang Sect also had to come to pay their respects to Mu Wenxuan.
It was not the warm March now, but the snowy June. It was too overbearing and inhumane to ask so many people to come to the Xuyang Sect in the cold winter. No matter how
loyal these sects were to the Xuyang Sect, they were full of complaints.
But what could they do? Sect Leader Mu was immersed in the pain of losing his son. How could these small sects dare to touch the mold of Sect Leader Mu at this time? They could only do what Sect Leader Mu said.
No matter how good the physical fitness of a martial artist is, he cannot withstand such torture. Many people fell ill as soon as they arrived at Xuyang Sect.
But even so, Sect Master Mu asked them to be present on the day of the burial.
Sect Master Mu naturally knew that his actions would cause dissatisfaction among many people, but he didn't care.
He just wanted Mu Wenxuan to be buried in style.
After Mu Wenxuan was buried, Sect Master Mu was finally able to take action against those who killed Mu Wenxuan.
The first people he dealt with were his two disciples.
In order not to attract attention, Sect Master Mu assigned tasks to all his disciples and asked them to go out and find the base of Juexian Pavilion.
While these disciples were out, Sect Master Mu pretended to be a member of Juexian Pavilion and tortured and killed the two disciples.
When the bodies of the two disciples were transported back to Xuyang Sect, everyone was shocked by their miserable state.
There was hardly a single intact part on their bodies.
The opponent could have killed them with a single sword, but chose to destroy their internal strength. After cutting them into pieces and making them live a life worse than death, he finally killed them.
Sect Master Mu's eyes were red, and he directly concluded: "It must have been the work of Juexian Pavilion!"
The Xuyang Sect disciples who did not know the truth were all angry, and kept scolding the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Beast, scum, the world has become so filthy because of people like this."
"Is he still a human being? If he had any sense of humanity, he wouldn't do such a beastly thing."
With Master Mu's hearing ability, he could hear clearly even if the disciples were whispering, not to mention that the disciples were so excited at the moment that they didn't even try to lower their voices.
Master Mu's pretended sadness stagnated, and a sinister look flashed across his face for a moment.
The second elder happened to see Master Mu's venomous eyes and was startled, but when he looked again, Master Mu had regained his sad expression.
Maybe he saw it wrong. The second elder comforted himself.
But a few days later, the second elder's grandson was ambushed by the "Juexian Pavilion" when he was out, and died on the spot.
Looking at his grandson's body, the second elder was heartbroken.
But after the grief, the second elder noticed something strange again, and subconsciously turned around and looked at Master Mu who was standing behind him.
Master Mu lowered his head, and from the second elder's angle, he could just see the cold and happy smile on the corner of Master Mu's lips.
The second elder felt a chill all over his body, and some speculations arose in his mind: Was it really... Juexian Pavilion that killed his grandson and two disciples of the master?
***
When the second elder noticed something was wrong, Yao Rong, who was far away in Juexian Pavilion, was looking through the latest intelligence sent back by his men.
Others didn't know whether Juexian Pavilion had taken action, but as the head of Juexian Pavilion, Yao Rong knew it.
This was clearly a frame-up.
And it was not difficult to guess who framed Juexian Pavilion.
Yao Rong said with interest: "Since everyone says Juexian Pavilion killed someone, if Juexian Pavilion does nothing, wouldn't it be in vain to bear this stigma."
The system asked: [What are you going to do?]
"Of course, I want to find a way to confirm this stigma." Yao Rong closed the intelligence and got up to find Wen Wu.
The weather is very good today. Wen Wu is urging his two nephews to do horse stance. Seeing Yao Rong coming, he asked the two nephews to continue practicing. He led Yao Rong into the study and personally poured Yao Rong a cup of tea: "Master, you came to see me today. Is there anything?"
Yao Rong went straight to the point: "I want you to do something."
"Master, please give me your orders."
"The third, fifth and sixth elders of the Xuyang Sect led the team to kill the entire Wen family. You can pick anyone from them to kill, and the Juexian Pavilion will cooperate with your actions. There is no need to hide your identity. You must let everyone know that this person was killed by the Juexian Pavilion."
***
Master Mu's actions are very crazy, but despite his madness, he also retains his rationality.
He would only attack those juniors, not the elders standing behind them, and would not attack the third elder for the time being.
Because these elders are the backbone of the sect.
The death of a few juniors would not affect the strength and reputation of the sect, but the death of an elder would have a great impact on the strength and reputation of the sect.
Therefore, when the news that "the sixth elder died at the hands of Juexian Pavilion" was passed back to the sect,
Master Mu was sure that this was true, and the sixth elder was really killed by the people of Juexian Pavilion.
The second elder was sure that this was false, and the sixth elder must have been killed by Master Mu.
So the second elder was extremely angry.
Mu Wenxuan is your only son, but my dead grandson is also my only grandson!
Not only did you kill a few young disciples to vent your anger, but now you dare to attack the elders. When you did these things, did you ever consider the interests of the sect? Are you worthy of being the head of the Xuyang Sect?
The second elder avoided the crowd and went to the courtyard of the third elder.
Those who can sit on the position of elder are not fools. The third elder also noticed that the death of the sixth elder and others was a bit strange. After hearing what the second elder said, the third elder was shocked and scared.
He, he, he...Mu Wenxuan's death also has a little relationship with him.
Headmaster Mu is crazy now. After killing the sixth elder, the next person to be killed will not be him!
No, he can't just sit there and wait for death.
Headmaster Mu has the intention to kill him, so don't blame him for taking action.
So the third elder put on a righteous attitude, saying that Master Mu was too selfish and was not worthy of being the master of Xuyang Sect.
The second elder also agreed with the third elder's proposal, but...
the elders did have the power to depose the master, but in order to depose the master, they must obtain the consent of all the elders.
The fourth and seventh elders were the confidants of Master Mu, and they would not approve this decision.
"Are we just going to let Master Mu go on like this?" The third elder said dissatisfiedly.
The second elder frowned and thought, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind: "Maybe, we can only ask that person to come out of seclusion."
The third elder was slightly stunned and did not react to who the second elder was talking about.
The second elder sighed and said, "If the situation is not urgent, I don't want to disturb the ancestor."
Ancestor!
The third elder finally knew who "that person" was.
The only one who deserves the title of "ancestor" is the founder of the Xuyang Sect - Shen Qinghuai!
"The founder is still alive!"
The news shocked the third elder so much that he didn't even notice that his question was a bit offensive.
The second elder asked back: "The skills that the founder practiced can prolong life. What's so strange about him being 107 years old and still alive?"
The third elder frowned: "Why don't I know about this?"
The second elder said: "In the entire sect, only the head, the elder and I know about this. Now that the elder is dead, the head and I are the only ones who know about this."
Therefore, when the news that the founder of the Xuyang Sect, Shen Qinghuai, was still alive came out, many people who were originally dissatisfied with the Xuyang Sect became quiet.
Even Chen Nan, Wen Wu and others changed their faces when they heard the news.
Ah Xi was also a little flustered, so she subconsciously looked at Yao Rong.
When she saw Yao Rong's expression, it was as if a gentle breeze blew in her heart, blowing away all the panic.
Because her backbone was not confused. Her
backbone was still calm and composed, and there was even a faint smile on the corner of her lips.
As if he noticed Axi's eyes, Yao Rong raised his head, first gave Axi a soothing look, then looked around at everyone present, and said slowly: "Things that have not been played are the trump cards. Those that are revealed in advance are not trump cards."
"What do you think is better now that Shen Qinghuai is still alive, or when we take action against the Xuyang faction, Shen Qinghuai suddenly appears and catches us off guard?"
Everyone present thought along with Yao Rong's logic, and their mood slowly calmed down.
Chen Nan was the first to say, "The Pavilion Master is right. It's better to know the news now than later."
Yao Rong looked at Chen Nan approvingly. Chen Nan did a good job in regaining his composure so quickly. "Do you think that Shen Qinghuai's existence will have a huge impact on our plan?"
No one answered, but their faces clearly said: Isn't it?
Of course not!
The appearance of Shen Qinghuai is a very critical part of Yao Rong's plan!
Because at this moment, the people who are most afraid of Shen Qinghuai are not those people who are dissatisfied with the Xuyang Sect, nor the people of the Juexian Pavilion, but the head of the Mu Sect, Mu Jianye.
Looking at the old man standing in front of him and forcing him to kneel down, and the elders standing behind him, Master Mu carefully hid the resentment in his eyes.
The old man had gray hair and a gentle temperament, but his words were extremely oppressive: "Mu Jianye, are you convinced?"
Master Mu fell to the ground: "If the ancestor wants to abolish my position as the head of the sect, he only needs to say one word, and I will do it. But the ancestor said that I killed those useless disciples and killed the sixth elder. I will never admit it."
Master Mu dared to guarantee that the second elder and the third elder definitely had no evidence to prove that he had killed anyone. He cleaned up the mess very thoroughly.
Sure enough, when Master Mu asked them to produce evidence, the second elder and the third elder were speechless.
Seizing this point, Master Mu argued with reason.
The second and third elders were not to be outdone.
Each side insisted on their own opinions and completely tore their faces in front of Shen Qinghuai. In the end, even their respective supporters came over.
