Since the birth of the Alliance of Five Factions in the North, there has also been a theory of the Five Factions in the South corresponding to it in the field of comprehension.However, unlike the north where the territory is completely divided by the five sects, there are still many aristocratic families and sects in the south, and everyone retreats to practice on their own hills without interfering with each other.

This was indeed the case until the rise of the Tianling Sect.

Today's Southern Five Sects, Dongling Jiange and Yujian Villa all have a history of thousands of years, and the Luoxia Sect has existed since the birth of monk civilization.Although Daoyinmen is a new sect split from the north 800 years ago, the art of refining demons inherited is also an ancient secret method.Only the Tianling Sect started from scratch, and by annexing other sects, it has become the sect with the most extensive territory in the south today.

According to the dossier provided by Elder Wen Su, until 500 years ago, the Tianling Sect was still an ordinary medium-sized sect. Since its ancestor ascended to the ascension, the remaining disciples have made no achievements.However, with the succession of the new suzerain 300 years ago, I don't know what kind of shit luck happened, and he accepted four geniuses of cultivation as apprentices one after another.

These apprentices eventually became well-known masters in the cultivation world. After the master died, he supported his son to succeed him and became an elder himself. This is how the Tianling Sect developed rapidly today.

These four disciples are the three elders Tian Fangzi, Bing Canzi, Xuan Qizi, and the eldest brother Wan Yuezi who are in charge of the real power of the Lingzong today.

Back then, in order to repay their master's kindness, they were willing to praise a person who was far less cultivated than themselves as suzerain. However, a hundred years have passed, and their old feelings have gradually faded.Regarding the position of the next suzerain, these elders faintly reveal the meaning that the capable should occupy it. Although they have not stated it clearly, they are secretly cultivating their own power in private, and no one is willing to be inferior to others.

After Wan Yuezi was judged dead in battle, Tian Fangzi became the Great Elder of Tianling Sect and inherited all his powers. It can be said that he was the one who benefited the most from this matter.In addition, he had a very bad relationship with Wan Yuezi in the past, although the suzerain of today's Lingzong did not express his opinion, Xuan Qizi asked for a thorough investigation of the matter, and clearly regarded him as the murderer.

Dongling Jiange has never taken an unusual path. Although the head elder traveled in person, he only brought Gu Yusheng with him.At this time, the three of them stood side by side with their swords. Shi Ying recalled the information he had obtained before departure, and thoughtfully said: "The current territory of the Tianling Sect is completely established by a few elders. Xuan Qi Zitiao's seizure at this time is not for the sake of It's as simple as taking revenge for senior brother."

This kind of power struggle is very strange to sword repairers. In their view, the leader is the person who will take care of the aftermath after the fight. Not only can they not experience the fun of fighting, but they also have to fight with a group of old men. It is simply the most miserable thing in the world. Errands.If Shen Fengyuan wanted to pass on the throne, these five elders would definitely pack up their bags and flee that night, not to mention doing so many things to fight for the position.

At this time, Shi Ying still had some doubts about the internal struggle of the Tianling Sect, but Shen Fengyuan smiled helplessly. The heads of other families are all treasures, so he was quite happy to treat the head of the majestic sect as a nanny.

Shen Fengyuan is far more clear about the situation of other sects than Shi Ying. Although he is sad in his heart, he still explains carefully: "In the past, Tian Fangzi was the elder with the highest status in the Tianling Sect. Bing Canzi also led people to annex a few small sects, although Tian Fangzi quelled the war of the monster clan, he did not get any benefits, and the rumors inside the sect seem to have changed."

In this way, in order to succeed in assuming the position, even if Xuan Qizi found out the truth, he would try every means to put the blame on Tian Fangzi.This matter is related to the whereabouts of the demon spirits, how can the Dongling Sword Pavilion let them mislead them?

Shi Ying understood Shen Fengyuan's hint, recalled the scene of getting along with Tian Fangzi, and suddenly found a suspicious point, "Tian Fangzi can bear even the cold eyes of sword repairers, such a smooth person, even if he has a very bad relationship with his fellow disciples. , how can everyone know about it?"

In the field of difficult to get along with, Jianxiu thinks that no monk dares to fight for the number one. Shi Ying is also self-aware of her social skills. What kind of power is Wan Yuezi who is on the surface?

Elder Wen Su gave all the information that had already been proven. Regarding this matter, Gu Yusheng inquired about some rumors, "I heard from Senior Brother Yuan Ru that Wan Yuezi seems to be a romantic monk..."

In terms of gossip, no one in Dongling Jiange is better informed than Yuan Ru.Shen Fengyuan didn't expect that this naughty apprentice would even find out these old things, and he silently slandered Yuan Ru, this kid, if he didn't become the elder of Wen Su, he would be condescending. Seeing that Shi Ying seemed to ask, he preemptively said: "Don't give it to God. Ling Zong’s face, Wan Yuezi is a well-known old prostitute in the world, lustful like a man and woman, and often uses his position to force his disciples to agree to double cultivation. Tian Fangzi has been putting on a show since before, with a handsome face and a smile going around making friends, I don't believe that guy didn't harass him."

It is not a matter of a day or two that Dongling Jiange dislikes the Tianling sect. When mentioning these elders, Shen Fengyuan's tone is naturally not very kind. It means hating iron but not steel.

Jianxiu has always been straightforward, Shi Ying had long noticed that Shen Fengyuan and Tian Fangzi were a little strange when talking, and now he asked directly: "What happened between senior brother and Tian Fangzi?"

"Actually, Tian Fangzi once wrote to me. He wanted to bring back Yun Daoxian and revive Yujian Villa, but I didn't agree."

Shen Fengyuan and Tian Fangzi got along like this when they were young, and they still don't feel anything wrong. He only heard that Shi Ying heard that they had a correspondence, so she angrily explained,

"I don't know him yet? How can the Tianling Sect be so kind? It's just that the old department of Yujian Villa is difficult to subdue. He wants to get a puppet owner of the Yun family to work for him, just to take the credit for Xuan Qizi. If I If I agree, I will push Yun Daoxian into the fire pit."

"so?"

Tianling Sect has always acted like this, Shi Ying still doesn't understand why Shen Fengyuan, who should have accepted the blame long ago, is so angry.However, Shen Fengyuan's expression became more disgusting,

"For this matter, we exchanged ten letters discussing Daoism. He stubbornly refused to say anything, and even sneered at me, slandering Yun Zhongxing... In short, this person's thoughts are extremely dirty, junior brother, please pay less attention to him."

Yun Zhongxing is dead, if you can't get him, it would be nice to get his sister, don't you think so?

As long as Shen Fengyuan thought of this sentence in the letter, he couldn't stop feeling angry.

When he was young, he really had bad eyesight. He thought that people who could make friends, but everyone’s ideas were different from the beginning; later, he accepted his first apprentice, thinking that as long as he could travel the world with like-minded apprentices, what else would he want? Fellow friend?In the end, the true face of this apprentice was a lunatic addicted to demons. He couldn't turn this person back, so he had to end it himself.

Now he has understood that Jianxiu is only suitable for living alone, and he can live as usual without anyone around him.Who knew that he used this old man's face, but Tian Fangzi even poured dirty water on him, would his conscience not hurt if he suspected that a seventy old man was plotting against another girl?

Regarding the fact that Tian Fangzi doubted his own character, the head of Shen was angry from the bottom of his heart, so he ended the correspondence between the two of them with only one word - get out!

In the memory of Gu Yusheng's two lives, Shen Fengyuan was an easy-going old man. It was the first time he saw such an angry and aggrieved expression. He wisely didn't bother with this matter, and only asked: "Since Master hates Tian Fangzi so much, Why did you personally investigate the cause of Wan Yuezi's death?"

These words made Shen Fengyuan silent for a while, his mood gradually calmed down, he glanced at the streets and gardens passing by, and said lightly: "I was just thinking, although he is not a thing, it is not possible to collude with the evil way to assassinate the same family... Besides, he If you get such an opportunity, you should kill me first, why rush to deal with that idiot Wan Yuezi?"

Shen Fengyuan still remembered that the trial meeting where he and Fang Tian first met was also held in such a water village garden.At that time, he didn't dislike this boy in white who always had a friendly smile on his face, and they even had a good relationship.If it wasn't for the incident in the trial, he might still be deceived forever.

On the day when the trial ended, Fang Tian stood at the ferry and stretched out his hand to him, his eyes full of longing for reconciliation, "You are the heir of Dongling Jiange, and I will also make Tianling Sect develop into the largest sect in the south in the future, you and I Being friends is good for both parties.”

Fang Tian was only 20 years old that year, but he already had the ambition to be in charge of power, and for this purpose he made friends with all parties.It's a pity that sword cultivators have always been ignorant of current affairs, and so is Shen Fengyuan.He turned around and boarded the boat without any hesitation, and only threw a word to the man, "If we disagree, we will not conspire with each other. Since you and I are not on the same path, it is best to speak with a sword."

After that, 300 years later, Shen Fengyuan took over as the head of the sect. Fang Tian reversed his name and became Tian Fangzi, the elder of the Tianling Sect. No one remembers the brief friendship between the two teenagers.

The garden where the trial meeting was once held is now Tian Fangzi's private residence. Shen Fengyuan doesn't understand what it means that this person chooses to meet him here. Anyway, no matter what the intention is, he will only find out the truth and never let anyone No personal interference.

The residences of the monks were covered with formations. When the three sword repairmen fell down, Tian Fangzi was already waiting in front of the door. When he saw Shen Fengyuan, he greeted Shen Fengyuan cordially, took his hand and invited him in, "Brother Shen, I didn't expect You will come here in person. You have known each other for many years, you are welcome, sit down and have a cup of tea first, so that you and I can have a chat."

This person is obviously talking politely, but the kindness in his words is very natural, if others are afraid to believe that he is really welcoming himself.However, Shen Fengyuan knew how good he was at deceiving, so he said coldly: "For me to be so enthusiastic, it seems that Xuan Qizi has caused you a lot of trouble."

As soon as these words came out, Tian Fangzi secretly rolled his eyes at him, but he didn't expect Shen Fengyuan to give him a good face. Looking at this old face that could be his grandfather, he had the right to respect the old man in his heart, and continued to smile back: "There is no case of injustice under Jianxiu's subordinates. Now that the head of Dongling Jiange has made a move, I didn't kill my brother, so naturally I just need to be happy."

However, upon hearing this, Shen Fengyuan cast another suspicious look, "You should really not have killed him, right?"

Tian Fangzi didn't expect this person to say that he was coming to thoroughly investigate the matter, but as soon as he came, he suspected him first. Although he still maintained a kind smile, he lowered his voice and approached him softly: "If I did it Yes, we will never leave a dead body as a handle."

He clearly had an extremely friendly smile on his face, but there was an indelible gloom in his eyes, and he didn't even deny his motive for killing.Even so, Shen Fengyuan nodded affirmatively, "Indeed, killing people, cutting grass and roots is your method."

"Hehe, brother Shen is joking again, I am an orthodox monk."

Tian Fangzi has been in Tianling Sect for 300 years, so his methods are naturally not clean, but sometimes he is speechless because Shen Fengyuan has no doubts about him.In the eyes of this sword cultivator, can't he be innocent once in a while?

Tian Fangzi understood Shen Fengyuan's temperament, and knew that chatting with him was to find fault for himself, so he shifted his target, and said to Shi Ying, who was a little easier to get along with: "Elder Qingnang, long time no see, how is the day?"

It's a pity that when he was in Yaozu, he thought Shi Ying was easy to deal with because he had nothing to do with the case. Now, as one of the suspects, the treatment he received was a straightforward question: "Where is the body of Wan Yuezi? Shouldn’t there be time for perjury?”

At this moment, Tian Fangzi finally accepted the fact that he had no credibility in the eyes of Jianxiu, turned around indifferently, and only told the accompanying disciples, "Come here, bring Elder Qingnang to the autopsy."

The author has something to say: Shen Fengyuan (the face of a kind old father): I am already at this age, so of course I want to use the skin of an old man to be a Buddhist player.

Tian Fangzi (probing): Really?Add friends?

Shen Fengyuan (draws sword): No, get out!

Tian Fangzi: You are like a hammer!

Gu Yusheng: Are these two people...

Shi Ying: Yes, they are rivals.

Gu Yusheng: Uh... Master is right.
