Chapter 192: Rebellion of the Yanxia Sect
The deputy leader of the Yanxia Sect approved this action privately. Now that the action has failed, they will definitely have to bear the consequences themselves, because they cannot go and argue with the undercurrent.
The purpose of Dark Stream is that all missions are executed once and for all. What does that mean? If the killer who takes the mission from Dark Stream fails the first time, then he must do everything he can to complete the mission.
But this time, the killer who was carrying out the mission was killed in return, which is a different matter. She has already paid the price with her life, which means that the target is definitely not as simple as the employer said. It is good that Undercurrent did not cause trouble for the employer.
If you want to cause trouble for Undercurrent, they won't pay any attention to you.
In other words, the Yanxia Sect now has two choices: temporarily give up on causing trouble for Lin Aoxue and swallow the bitter fruit, or spend more money to hire another strong man from the undercurrent. But this time, if they want to hire one, they need a more advanced combat capability. They can't just hire a fourth-level Taoist to kill Lin Aoxue, right?
Since the mission failed, Yan Han could only report it to the sect, or hope to get compensation from the sect. She couldn't afford to lose three million spirit stones.
But what she didn't expect was that her report would cause such a huge mess.
At this time, in the main hall of Yanxia Sect.
"What, you secretly set the task of assassinating Lin Aoxue? And failed?" Yan Chen glared at the deputy sect leader Yan Jiang. Yan Jiang could be said to be the most domineering one among the four major sects. Relying on her own strength that was higher than Yan Chen, she had been openly eroding the power of the Yanxia Sect.
By the way, Yan Jiang was a male cultivator before, but now he has become a female cultivator, and a very mean female cultivator at that, a bit like Yun Ling from the Yunxia Sect.
"Brother, why are you reacting so strongly? Don't we want to deal with a strong enemy in the future for the sect? Who knew that the other party was prepared? The undercurrent killer we hired failed. Junior Sister Yan Han paid three million spirit stones in advance. She hopes that the sect can compensate her some. I think there is nothing wrong with that." Yan Jiang said with a look of disapproval.
"You?" Yan Chen was so angry that he almost laughed when he heard this.
His situation was much worse than Yun Yun's. Yun Che at least respected Yun Yun, but Yan Jiang was blatantly suppressing Yan Chen, and the ancestor of the Yanxia Sect was unwilling to provoke the Yun Sect, so he had always turned a blind eye.
"Let the sect pay for your private actions? I tell you, no, not a penny. You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible." Yan Chen refused to give anything.
But these words angered Yan Jiang. Yan Jiang couldn't help himself and suddenly released his aura, as if he was going to use force to force Yan Chen.
"Old ghost Yanchen, I call you senior brother because I think highly of you. The world of cultivation has always been one where the strong are respected. You should have given up your position as the sect leader to me long ago. I tell you, you can choose not to pay the money, and then you just hand over the position of sect leader." Yan Jiang said angrily.
Yanchen has been a member of Ren Yanjiang's faction for a long time, and he couldn't help it this time either.
"How could I be afraid of you? You are a traitor to your master and ancestors." Yanchen also burst out with the fourth level of his Taoist cultivation. Both of them were at the fourth level of the Taoist Out-of-Body Realm, but Yanjiang's aura was obviously stronger.
Soon, the two of them started fighting in the sect's main hall. The power fluctuations of the fourth level of the Dao Palace were soon noticed by other strong men of the Yanxia Sect.
When these two men attacked, they almost intended to defeat each other. After they exchanged palm strikes, they broke through the roof of the hall and flew high into the sky, where they started fighting in the air.
"Master, deputy master, what's going on? Stop fighting. We are all brothers from the same sect. If you have something to say, just talk it out nicely." When the elders arrived, they hurried to try to stop the fight.
The Yanxia Sect is the first sect where the original monks and the returning monks have completely fallen out.
And just when they were fighting, Yan cast a powerful spell, causing Yanchen to vomit blood.
"Damn it? Yan Jiang, you want to kill me?" Yan Chen roared.
"So what? You old thing, I have tolerated you for a long time," Yan Jiang said angrily.
But the moment she finished saying this, Yanchen's mouth corners curled up, as if she was laughing.
"All elders, you heard it, Yan Jiang betrayed his master and ancestors and even wanted to kill me to seize the throne. This behavior has seriously violated the sect rules. All elders, kill the traitor." Yan Chen announced loudly.
As soon as this announcement came out, the elders who had originally wanted to stop the fight became murderous and rushed towards Yanjiang.
Yan Jiang was stunned after hearing Yan Chen's order.
This was not what she expected.
When the returning elders heard the order, they naturally stood on Yanjiang's side. They hurriedly stopped the elders who were about to attack Yanjiang.
For a while, the elders on both sides started fighting.
As for Yan Chen, because his cultivation was a little lower than Yan Jiang's and he suffered a heavy blow from Yan Jiang, he actually mobilized the power of the sect's formation to attack Yan Jiang.
A large amount of fog gathered in the Yanxia Sect and condensed into a white cloud dragon.
Facing the Yanxia Sect's mountain protection formation and the Yanhai Yunlong formation, Yanjiang had no chance of resisting at all.
Taoist Yanchen is also a ruthless person. He looks like a good guy at ordinary times, but when he turns against others, he is more ruthless than anyone else.
Above the Yanxia Sect, a cloud dragon formed by the power of the formation hovered above the sect, exuding a pressure that surpassed the realm of the Taoist Palace.
If the four great mountain protection formations were fully activated, they could fight against a cultivator of the first level in the Four Extreme Secret Realms.
"Roar..." The misty illusory white dragon roared at Yan Jiang and the other returning elders below.
This sound caused their blood to boil.
"This? Yanchen, do you really want to kill us?" Yan Jiang's face turned pale when he saw the sect protection formation activated.
She suddenly realized that the smoke and dust were not just meant to scare her.
This was something Yan Jiang had definitely not expected, that the sect's resources would be used directly to deal with her. The faces of the other returning monks also changed drastically.
"Yan Jiang, you brought this upon yourself. I have tolerated you time and again, but who could have known that you would completely forget the kindness of our sect and the feelings of your fellow disciples, and have made such a mess of the sect. Today, I will get rid of this scourge of yours for the sect," Yan Chen announced.
After saying that, he raised the formation token in his hand that controlled the sect's formation, urged Yunlong to kill Yanjiang and others.
After receiving the order, Yunlong immediately flew towards the speech with terrifying pressure.
"No? Master, save me." Yan Jiang looked at Yunlong flying towards him with his claws and fangs, and while retreating, he quickly called for help to the ancestor of Yanxia Sect.
But unfortunately, her cry for help did not receive a response from the Yanxia Sect's ancestor. It seemed that the Yanxia Sect's ancestor tacitly agreed that Yanchen should kill her.
The disciples of Yanxia Sect were all stunned at this time. The top leaders had actually turned against each other, and the sect leader wanted to kill the deputy sect leader. They didn't know what to do for a moment.
This is an internal fight, and it is a battle at the Taoist Palace level, so disciples like them cannot participate.
"Damn it, what are you daydreaming about? If you don't come over and join forces with me to fight against the spirit of the formation, if I die, can you still live? Can't you see that old Yanchen is going to kill me?" Yan Jiang shouted at the returning elders in the distance.
When these people heard Yan Jiang's voice, they were unable to resist the power of the sect protection formation, so they could only gather towards Yan Jiang. At one moment, more than a dozen cultivators at the Dao Palace realm released their power at the same time to resist Yun Long's attack.
However, the power of the Four Extremes Secret Realm is really beyond the reach of the Taoist Palace. The spirit of the formation, with just a slight flick of its tail, shattered the defenses built with treasures by more than a dozen Taoist Palace monks.
Yan Jiang and others vomited blood and flew backwards.
"Old Yanchen, are you really crazy? If you kill us, Yunzong will definitely cause trouble for you." Yan Jiang was scared.
These people, the returning monks headed by Yan Jiang, completely brought this upon themselves. In terms of arrogance and domineering behavior, Yan Jiang was the most arrogant among the four deputy sect masters of the four major sects.
Of course, she had the capital to be arrogant, but she had never thought that if Yan Chen was determined to destroy her, it would actually be very simple, because the core power of the Yanxia Sect was still in their hands.
They had made concessions again and again for the sake of Yun Sect, but today Yan Chen heard that Yan Jiang was hiding from him and secretly commanding his subordinates to hire someone to assassinate Yun Sect's young master. The mission failed, and the sect was still to pay the price. This was too much, and he could no longer tolerate it.
"Don't worry. After you die, I will take the initiative to report to the Yun Sect and say that you all jointly rebelled against the sect and were killed by the sect." Yanchen sneered.
In fact, Yan Jiang’s behavior can be considered as rebellion.
"You? The Supreme Sect will not believe your nonsense. Since you want to kill us, don't blame me. Fellow elders, fight back desperately and kill as many disciples of Yanxia Sect as possible to cut off the inheritance of Yanxia Sect." Yan Jiang has gone crazy.
There is nothing wrong with her idea, but the problem is, don't forget that the ancestor of the Yanxia Sect has not taken any action yet.
"All disciples of the sect, Yan Jiang and others have betrayed the sect and must be killed without mercy." The ancestor of the Yanxia Sect suddenly issued an order and appeared at the same time. As soon as he appeared, he announced the fate of Yan Jiang and others.
When Yan Jiang and others saw the ancestor of the fourth level of the Taoist Palace show up, they basically had no chance of turning the tables this time. It seemed that this was not a temporary decision, but a premeditated one.
"kill!"
As the word "kill" was uttered, the ancestor of the Yanxia Sect took the brunt of the attack and rushed towards his evil disciple.
Yanchen also controlled Yunlong to attack other elders, and the original elders of Yanxia Sect also surrounded and killed these people. At the moment when the elders took action, the disciples also took action.
Especially those inner disciples, they killed those disciples who returned to the Spirit Pattern Realm at lightning speed. Only the outer disciples were confused and didn't know what to do.
By the way, it was actually Yan Jiang who fell into Yan Chen's trap. Before Yan Chen took action, he had used a magical instrument specially used to record video images to record all the words and actions in the speech.
If Yun Zong wanted to hold someone accountable, he would hand over the evidence of Yan Jiang's rebellion to Yun Zong.
Chapter 193 The Bustling Wanbao Tower
Using the entire power of the Yanxia Sect to suppress Yan Jiang and others is actually a bit of a waste of talent, but in order to prevent them from doing something desperate, suppressing them with formations is the best option.
The battle lasted less than half an hour from its outbreak to its end. In the end, all the returning monks of Yanxia Sect were killed, and only a few monks outside survived by chance.
However, they had no idea that something had happened in the sect, and they were afraid that they would be killed once they returned to the sect.
It all happened so suddenly, without any warning.
Afterwards, Yanchen immediately reported the matter to Yunzong. This kind of thing must not be concealed. Since they think they have done nothing wrong, they must act as if they have done nothing wrong.
They not only informed the Yun Sect, but also told the other three sects the news immediately.
When the leaders of the other three sects received this news, they were greatly shocked.
Since this matter was related to the Yunxia Sect, Yanchen explained the matter to Yunyun in detail.
“What? The returning cultivators of Yanxia Sect rebelled in public, violently seized power, and were all suppressed and killed by Yanchen and the ancestors of Yanxia Sect. How could this be possible?” Yun Che’s face changed after hearing the news.
Although he had anticipated that one of the four major sects would fall out with the returning cultivators, he did not expect it to happen so soon and without any room for maneuver.
"That old guy Yanchen is really cruel. After all, these disciples are from their Yanxia Sect. He just killed them all. This may solve the conflict between the two camps, but how should they deal with it next?" Yun Yun said with a frown.
To be honest, if it were her, she might not be able to do such a cruel thing.
“This is impossible. What on earth happened in Yanxia Sect that caused Yan Jiang to rebel? Has the conflict within the Yanxia Sect been triggered to this extent?” Yun Che felt that this matter was a bit tricky, or rather, a bit strange.
Yun Yun was determined to face the trouble with Yun Che, so she didn't hide anything. She told him about how Yan Jiang and others secretly colluded with the evil organization and secretly assassinated Lin Aoxue.
“This? Yan Jiang actually has such a plan. Why don’t you quickly inform Silent City and ask them to protect Aoxue?” Yun Che suggested.
Yun Yun nodded, but at this moment, she found that her communication token was shaking again.
This is Yun Ming passing on the information. Such a big thing happened in Silent City, she must report it. It can only be said that a lot of big things happened today.
"This? There was a huge energy explosion over at the Falling Immortal Ridge, and the energy fluctuations exceeded the level of the Taoist Palace? This?" Yun Yun was shocked again after reading it.
Of course, Yun Yun didn't care about this matter for the time being. She quickly asked about Lin Aoxue. After confirming that Lin Aoxue was fine in Silent City, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked them to protect Lin Aoxue.
As for Yun Che, he was now worried that it would trigger a chain reaction. After all, the returning cultivators from the four sects all obeyed the orders of the Yun Sect. They were considered to be members of the same camp. Now that all the returning cultivators from the Yanxia Sect had been killed, it meant that the other three sects also had the power to wipe out these returning cultivators.
This will definitely make people feel a sense of crisis.
Yun Yun and Yun Che were both silent. Such a big event would surely soon reach the ears of those returning cultivators, and by then, it would surely cause an uproar.
As for Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue, they didn't know yet, because their affairs had triggered internal conflicts in the Yanxia Sect, but it was indeed Yanjiang and the others who found it themselves.
In fact, if she hadn't said that she had hired an undercurrent killer to assassinate Lin Aoxue, Yan Chen might not have been able to find a suitable reason, but Yan Jiang gave Yan Chen a sufficient reason.
This old guy had already informed the other elders of the sect in advance that if Yan Jiang and others did anything too outrageous, they would seize the opportunity to eradicate these people in one go to prevent future troubles.
The various charges of Yan Jiang attacking the sect leader, colluding with evil forces, assassinating the young leader of a friendly sect, etc., added together, were enough for Yan Chen to take action.
However, the most important reason is collusion with evil forces.
Let’s talk about the gate of Wanbao Tower in Silent City.
The Wanbao Tower is the most luxurious building complex in the Silent City. It has three floors, a unique appearance and exquisite decoration. One can tell at a glance that this place is very wealthy. There are also a lot of people coming in and out of this place, and the flow of people is endless.
"Tsk tsk, just by looking at the shape of the building you can tell this place is very wealthy. I wonder how much my pills can be sold for." Ye Liuyun said with a smile.
"Unknown things like yours need to be appraised first. Only after the appraisal can we know how much it is sold for. But I think it will not be cheap." Lin Aoxue also said.
At this time, both of them changed their appearance. Lin Aoxue was dressed like a maid, and Ye Liuyun turned into a handsome young man in a white robe. Their current identity is master and servant.
After observing the Wanbao Tower for a while, the two of them strode in. The first floor was the exchange of the Wanbao Tower, and it was also the most crowded floor. It was basically full of monks selling materials.
At least half of the materials in Silent City were acquired by Wanbao Tower.
Of course, the four major sects are not letting Wanbaolou compete with them for business for nothing. The rental fees paid by Wanbaolou every month are also considerable.
"There are so many people, it's so lively." Ye Liuyun sighed as he looked at the lively scene inside.
The place was filled with the sounds of bargaining between customers and Wanbaolou's appraisers.
There are many trading counters here, and sitting inside are appraisers from Wanbaolou.
Just to the right of Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue, there was a cultivator who was excitedly bargaining with the appraiser.
"Appraiser, please take a closer look. My medicinal herbs must be at least 200 years old. A 200-year-old green-grade lower-quality medicinal herb would cost at least 400 spirit stones. You only gave me 300 spirit stones. Isn't that too little?" A young man said anxiously, pointing at a medicinal herb in his hand.
"My dear customer, your medicinal herb is less than 200 years old, only 180 years old. It still belongs to the hundred-year-old medicinal herb. It is already good that I can give you 300 spirit stones." A beautiful appraiser explained patiently.
"This? There's only a difference of twenty years. Is the gap that big? Miss appraiser, please add a little more. How about 350 spirit stones?" the young monk bargained.
The beautiful appraiser still shook her head.
"My dear customer, we at Wanbaolou have already paid a high price for this herb. If you go to other shops, I'm afraid you won't even get 300 spirit stones for this herb."
She was telling the truth. The purchase price has always been lower than the market price. If the purchase price is as high as the market price, then what profit will they make?
For example, the normal market price of a green-grade lower-quality medicinal material is 400 spirit stones. It also depends on its scarcity in the market. Some prices may reach 500 spirit stones. But if it is a purchase price, you have to bargain down by at least % to %.
