20. (The next chapter starts with a reverse V) The Lord of the Peak, Dad 1
The Qiong Cang Sect is the largest sect in the world of immortal cultivation. Located on Qiong Cang Mountain in the Eastern Continent, it possesses exclusive access to the world's largest spiritual vein. This abundant spiritual energy has cultivated numerous immortals, and as a result, the Qiong Cang Sect's strength has grown.
At this time, in the Qiongcang Sect's mission hall,
"Cheng Ye, don't go too far!" A rare look of anger appeared on Zhong Feiqi's face, which had been expressionless for a long time.
A handsome young man with a slightly feminine appearance on the opposite side glanced at Zhong Feiqi with a haughty look and said sarcastically, "I just went too far. What do you think?"
Many cultivators have gathered in the mission hall. Zhong Feiqi, a new genius cultivator of the Qiongcang Sect, and Cheng Ye, the only son of the master of Changqing Peak, are facing off again. Naturally, they don’t want to miss such excitement, but what is the purpose this time?
Zhong Feiqi: "If you make a mistake, you must learn to take responsibility. Today you must apologize to Zhong Tubao and give him the mission spirit stones."
Cheng Ye: "Humph, ridiculous! Why don't you tell me what mistake I made? Even if I did, it's not your turn to blame me! You guys from Cangling Peak are even managing other peaks. You're really showing off."
The dog is catching the rat, how shameless.
Zhong Feiqi's face turned pale as he said, "You used to rely on your status to suppress your fellow disciples. Now you have caused the deaths of so many outer disciples and you still don't repent. If Uncle Sanyan knew that you were so willful and domineering, he would be extremely disappointed in you." Zhong Feiqi knew where Cheng Ye's pain point was, and he poked at it as soon as he opened his mouth.
As expected, Cheng Ye's eyes burned red with rage. "Shut up!" He said sharply, "Those little minions are so weak in cultivation, they deserve to die! They don't deserve to have me apologize!"
The disgust on his face was revealed without any concealment: "Zhong Feiqi, how many times have I told you, don't always put on this face in front of me, you are not qualified to teach me, you..."
"Junior Brother" Chen Qiyu hurried to the mission hall with his two junior brothers, and heard Cheng Ye's irrational words. He immediately interrupted him and stopped him from saying anything more outrageous.
Chen Qi is the eldest senior brother of Changqing Peak. The peak master Cheng Jiu is in seclusion all year round, so Chen Qi has always been in charge of Changqing Peak.
Cheng Ye was quite respectful to Shen Qiyu, and he stopped talking after hearing what Shen Qiyu said, but his angry eyes never left Zhong Feiqi.
Chen Qiyu walked in with a warm smile and stood beside Cheng Ye.
"I look forward to meeting you, Brother/Uncle Master." Everyone in the hall bowed.
Chen Qiyu looked Cheng Ye up and down, and after seeing that he had not suffered any injustice, he turned his head to look at the opposite side and said with an ambiguous tone: "I don't know what my junior brother did to make Junior Brother Zhong so unhappy. You might as well tell me. As the senior brother, I will definitely discipline him well."
The meaning is obvious. Just tell me if you have anything to say. There is no need to show off in front of my junior brother.
Zhong Feiqi looked at Chen Qiyu expressionlessly and said, "Brother Shen, why don't you ask Brother Cheng why he privately issued the Level 3 Purple Lotus Grass mission to the outer disciples, resulting in only one person returning from the 16-person mission and the rest all perished."
Chen Qiyu glanced at his junior brother, whose expression was full of rebelliousness, and then at the undisguised disgust of the people around him. He felt a chill in his heart and said, "Junior brother Zhong, be careful with your words. You will be responsible for what you say. Do you have any evidence to prove that it was my junior brother's fault?"
While his junior brother had a bad temper and a somewhat arrogant disposition, he possessed a pure heart. He absolutely refused to believe the younger brother harbored any malicious intent. As the master's only child, he would never tolerate outsiders casting dirty water on him. Zhong Feiqi was the beloved disciple of Deye Zhenjun, the master of Cangling Peak. He possessed a single golden spiritual root and was a truly exceptional talent. Having achieved the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage at a young age, he possessed the most advanced aptitude among young cultivators under a hundred years old since Senior Brother Chengfeng, and was at the height of his fame. Yet, the younger brother and Zhong Feiqi were constantly at odds, and Chen Qiyu felt helpless about this.
Zhong Feiqi: "The survivor has woken up. If you don't believe me, Brother Shen can interrogate him yourself." He still disdained to lie.
Seeing Cheng Yeyang's face full of dissatisfaction, Chen Qiyu felt a little headache. Why couldn't his junior brother's personality be as obedient and cute as his appearance?
Chen Qiyu held down his hand, which was about to move due to his junior brother's cute appearance, and said, "Junior brother, tell me what's going on?"
Cheng Ye curled his lips: "It's still Wu Zhengyong."
Wu Zhengyong? The little dog that follows his junior apprentice around all day?
Chen Qiyu: "What happened to him?"
Cheng Ye: "Didn't I want to learn alchemy some time ago? I wanted to prepare more spiritual medicines in case there were not enough when the time came, so I asked Wu Zhengyong to issue the task. Who knew that he would send it privately to the outer disciple, that Zhong Tugou." He gave a lot of spirit stones, but who knew that Wu Zhengyong would actually send the task privately in order to save spirit stones.
Everyone: ...
What's the clock?
Zhong Feiqi's face froze: "...It's Zhong Tubao."
Cheng Ye said disdainfully: "Tsk, Zhong Tugou is Zhong Tugou, what Zhong Tubao."
I just started learning to make medicine.
It requires third-level purple lotus grass. Junior brother must have been fooled again.
Chen Qi held his forehead and quickly called the two junior brothers behind him: "Junior Brother Hao, Junior Brother Yu, go and bring the person over."
If I don't make things clear here today, who knows what unpleasant rumors will spread later, and my reputation will only get worse. Although I'm not afraid of these, I still have to be careful about reputation.
Li Hao/Mo Chaoyu: "Yes, Senior Brother."
Chen Qiyu: "...Junior Brother Zhong, may I ask where you heard that it was my junior brother who sent the mission privately?"
Zhong Feiqi said, "That survivor is an old acquaintance of mine." In fact, he was from the same village. They had been chosen by the same cultivators in the mortal realm. However, due to the vast difference in their spiritual roots, one a direct disciple and the other an outer sect servant, their interactions had almost ceased. Furthermore, to live up to his master's teachings, he had devoted himself to cultivation and rarely left the inner sect's territory.
This time, it was also when he accidentally met Zhong Tubao that he learned about his experience from him. Zhong Feiqi was a little annoyed by his impulsiveness. Regardless of whether this matter was Cheng Ye's fault, even if it was, Chang Qingfeng's attitude was not a good one.
Chen Qi smiled elegantly: "Junior Brother Zhong, sometimes it is better not to believe one-sided words. Even if the disciples of my Changqing Peak are not good enough, they should not be so ignorant of the low-level sect rules and regulations, let alone do them." It is a very basic sect rule that tasks cannot be sent privately. Of course, it will be different if both parties sign a voluntary agreement.
Cheng Ye snorted coldly: "Why are you telling him all this?" Zhong Feiqi was very arrogant. He tried to teach him a lesson when he first met him. Who did he think he was?
Hearing the junior brother calling him by his name, Chen Qiyu knew that Zhong Feiqi must have touched the junior brother's nerve again.
Chen Qiyu glared at Cheng Ye and told him to keep quiet.
Then he turned to Zhong Feiqi and said with a smile, "My junior brother is my master's only offspring. My master has been in seclusion for the whole year. Before he went into seclusion, he repeatedly told me to teach my junior brother well and not to lose the dignity of Changqing Peak."
He paused and continued, "I am not very talented. Although I am usually busy with internal affairs, I believe that I have never been vague in teaching my junior brother. I also think that my teaching is good and that my junior brother is worthy of being a direct inner disciple of Changqing Peak. Even if not, when my master comes out of seclusion, he will teach him personally. If not, the head master will be happy to teach him for the sake of my master's face."
The monks watching also fully understood Chen Qiyu's meaning.
First, if nothing unexpected happens, Cheng Ye will be the only offspring of True Lord Sanyan, so you should be careful; second, Cheng Ye was personally taught by Chen Qiyu, the former top of the top 100-year-old list, and he thinks he taught him very well; third, even if Cheng Ye really did something, it is not up to anyone to comment or blame him, as True Lord Sanyan is not dead yet; finally, don't forget that Cheng Ye has a master uncle who is the head of the sect, and he is a relative of his.
The head of the sect, Sanjiao Zhenjun, and Sanyan Zhenjun are close brothers from the same sect and have a very good relationship. This is something that the entire world of immortal cultivation knows.
Zhong Feiqi's face almost froze when he heard this.
At this time, Li Hao and Mo Chaoyu brought Wu Zhengyong and Zhong Tubao.
Chen Qi glanced at the frail Zhong Tubao with a warm look and said, "Zhong Tubao?"
Zhong Tubao was terrified: "Yes, yes." He was really scared. It was the first time that he was stared at by so many monks with high cultivation. He was really afraid that he would offend someone by accident and lose the life he had saved with great difficulty.
Chen Qiyu smiled and comforted him: "You don't need to panic, I just want to ask you some questions, you just need to answer truthfully."
Zhong Tubao quickly replied, "I will answer honestly."
Chen Qiyu asked, "Did you accept the mission to pick third-level purple water lily grass? Who issued it to you?"
Wu Zhengyong's heart was beating so fast next to him that it almost hit his throat.
Zhong Tubao: "Yes, this happened. He was the one who announced it to us." He pointed at the trembling Wu Zhengyong and said with certainty. His eyes were red after he finished speaking. Because of this mission, all his friends died. If he hadn't been lucky, he would have almost never been able to come back.
Wu Zhengyong suddenly fell to the ground and kowtowed in fear: "Master Shen, please spare my life. I know I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again. Master Shen, please spare my life!" He kowtowed and cried for mercy.
This was not the first time Wu Zhengyong had done this. He had done it several times before. In order to save spirit stones, he not only sent out tasks privately but also did not sign a volunteer form. He did embezzle a lot of spirit stones. Now that the incident was exposed, he knew he was finished.
If someone issues a task privately, and sends it to someone above his level, his cultivation level will be abolished and he will be expelled from the sect.
Zhong Feiqi's face looked very ugly. Wu Zhengyong was Cheng Ye's lackey, and he was trying to curry favor with Cheng Ye all day long, so he thought that it was Cheng Ye's instructions. Now he was in a difficult situation. Thinking of this, he felt a little dissatisfied with Zhong Tubao.
Finally, the people from the Law Enforcement Hall took the man away.
Now that the matter had been resolved, everyone began to disperse.
Chen Qiyu took his junior brother with him and prepared to return to Changqing Peak. As soon as he left the mission hall,
The sky suddenly changed and thunder exploded.
Seeing the direction of Changqing Peak in the distance
The sky gradually darkened.
Cheng Ye and his fellow disciples looked at each other and immediately flew towards Changqing Peak on their swords. When they arrived at the foot of Changqing Peak, they saw that quite a few people had already gathered on the open ground.
Cheng Ye and the others stopped in the open space. It was obvious that they couldn't go up Chang Qingfeng now, so they decided to take a look at the situation here.
Dark clouds slowly gathered above Evergreen Peak, quickly enveloping it. Lightning within the clouds collided and devoured each other, creating a roar of thunder and lightning. Only cultivators knew that this was the brewing of tribulation clouds, and that only when one reached a certain level would the tribulation begin.
Everyone started exclaiming.
"The tribulation thunder, it's the tribulation thunder!"
"It's Changqing Peak!"
"It's Master, Master is about to make a breakthrough!" Chen Qiyu shouted in surprise, and several of Chang Qingfeng's fellow disciples also cheered.
Cheng Ye stared at Jie Lei motionlessly in a daze. Even when Chen Qiyu excitedly pulled him aside to talk, he did not react.
