Yin and Yang Taoist Code

In a corner at the foot of Shenjian Peak, a gray-robed man stood with his back to the body and his hands behind his back.

He stared at the Shenjian Peak surrounded by clouds and mist. A layer of mist attached to his face kept changing, making it impossible to see his face clearly. Only a pair of eyes that were faintly exposed showed indifference, and occasionally a bright light swept across, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

Suddenly, a rustling sound sounded behind him, and several monks in black appeared. When they saw him, they all knelt on one knee to salute.

"Xuan Yi and the leaders of the Xuan characters meet the Di character elder!" The leading black-robed man said respectfully.

"Well, get up." The gray-robed man nodded gently, without turning around. The neutral voice was unpredictable and could not be distinguished between men and women, making it impossible to guess his identity.

Xuan Yi bowed his head and thanked him respectfully and stood up. After he stood up, the other black-robed people followed suit, showing their strict hierarchy and strict discipline everywhere.

After a long time, the gray-robed man's voice sounded again.

"I am the fifth elder in the family, you can call me the Fifth Elder."

"Hello, Fifth Elder!" Xuan Yi and several men in black called respectfully.

The Fifth Elder nodded, and his tone suddenly became serious.

"There are 33 Xuan's hidden men, 13 of whom participated in this operation. Why are only a few of you here?"

Xuan Yi hurriedly bowed his head and clasped his fists: "Report to the Fifth Elder, the brothers who came this time are all brothers who can spare time. Except for Xuan Shi, the other brothers were dragged and could not spare time. They were afraid of being noticed if they forced to leave, so they did not come."

"Xuan Shi?" The Fifth Elder tilted his head slightly and thought for a while, "Is he stationed at Feixue Peak?"

"Yes, it is the hidden man stationed at Feixue Peak." Xuan Yi nodded, "Xuan Shi has been in contact with a female cultivator at Feixue Peak in recent years, and there is a vague intention to form a Taoist couple. When he received the task this time, he seemed quite hesitant and did not act as straightforward as before. Therefore, I was afraid that the plan would be leaked during this meeting, so I did not inform Xuan Shi."

"Haha, the comfortable days in Taixu Palace have been going on for a long time, and some people have forgotten how they came here and what their original intentions were." The Fifth Elder's voice was gentle, but the cold meaning between the lines came out spontaneously.

Xuan Yi's heart sank, and he exchanged strange glances with the men in black beside him, then looked at the Fifth Elder.

"What should we do with Xuan Shi? Elder, please tell me!"

"Alas, the wind is strong and the snow is fast on Feixue Peak. Even a cultivator who is not careful will die. Poor Xuan Shi, he suffered such a disaster at such a young age. It is really regrettable and lamentable." The Fifth Elder's tone was sad, revealing a deep sadness as if he had lost his son, which made people want to cry.

Listening to his sad words, Xuan Yi and others felt cold in their hearts. They knew that Xuan Shi had been sentenced to death in a few words from the Fifth Elder.

Taking a deep breath, Xuan Yi said in a deep voice: "Xuan Shi had a bad fate and died young, which is really regrettable. I have worked with Xuan Shi for many years and we are as close as brothers. Today, I heard that my brother died. I am sad. I just hope that his family in Dayan can mourn after hearing the news and not get too excited and make any more mistakes." The fifth elder turned around suddenly after hearing the words. His eyes, which were faintly exposed in the mist, stared at Xuan Yi with a gleam of light, while Xuan Yi was not moved at all and stared at the eyes of the fifth elder. The several black-clothed men around did not move, but they were already sweating under their clothes. They were the hidden men planted by Dayan in Taixu Palace. Although the time was different and they were almost all single-line contacts, the feeling of loneliness and loneliness in the enemy camp made them as close as brothers with Xuan Yi, who commanded all the people in the Xuan character. They hardly knew each other, but Xuan Yi was their recognized elder brother, the only person they could trust, rely on and confide in in this dangerous place with enemies everywhere. This time, Xuan Yi told the fifth elder of Dizi about Xuan Shi's secret. This shameless act of betraying his brother made several hidden players have no objection and even supported it.

Because they are hidden players, they are the insiders sent by Dayan to Taixu Palace, and they cannot see the light. If their identities are leaked, then the seemingly peaceful Taixu Palace may not have any good fruits for them to enjoy.

Moreover, they all have more or less handles caught in Dayan's hands. Once their identities are leaked and caught, if they spit out something they shouldn't say, then it will not be a matter of their death alone.

Therefore, although they are a little sad that Xuan Shi was sentenced to death, it is just a rabbit dying and the fox mourning. If they were Xuan Yi, they would probably not report it at all and directly take action to eliminate this hidden danger. You know, this is related to everyone's life and property.

At this time, seeing that Xuan Yi dared to put forward conditions to the Dizi elders in order to protect Xuan Shi's family, several hidden players were full of tension and extremely moved, and they couldn't help but trust this "big brother" a little more.

The Fifth Elder and Xuanyi stared at each other for a long time. Just when Xuanyi's eyes were bloodshot and his body was trembling slightly, the Fifth Elder smiled and retracted his gaze.

"Haha, don't worry. Our Dayan Dynasty will not treat meritorious officials unfairly, especially those who died in the line of duty. Dayan will take good care of Xuanshi's family. Don't worry."

"Fifth Elder, be merciful. Xuanyi will thank you for Xuanshi!" Xuanyi bowed in response. His aching head made cold sweat roll down his face.

The Fifth Elder smiled without comment, and then asked, "How is the search going?"

Xuanyi knew what he was asking, and bowed in response, "Replying to the Fifth Elder, a total of 59 suspected suspects have been found in more than a year, and 17 people were left after investigation. This time, we took the opportunity of the Shenjian Peak Tongtian Competition to screen them again, and finally there were eight and a half people left."

"Eight and a half people? What happened to the half people?" The fifth elder was full of curiosity.

"Back to the fifth elder, more than 70% of the half of the person is similar to what the intelligence showed. However, after investigation, it was found that this person was forcibly improved with the help of the power of elixirs, so he reached the elixir formation stage at a young age. Previously, he was originally Excluded, but today during the competition, one of my subordinates reported that this young man had defeated the monks in the late stage of Dan Jie with his cultivation in the middle stage of Dan Jie, so I included him as half of the list," Xuan Yi explained.

"It's interesting, haha." The fifth elder smiled softly, and his voice turned solemn, "Although the risk of adding one more person will be much greater, but this time the order came from the court, saying that it is at all costs. It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to kill a thousand by mistake. Let one go, and the other half will be included. You can make the specific arrangements."

"Yes!" Xuan Yi responded immediately.

After thinking about it, Xuan Yi asked hesitantly: "Elder, we have chosen this action before the Tongtian Competition. Isn't the risk too great? You must know that the Tongtian Competition in Taixu Palace, the peaks of each peak, The Lord and the elders will come, and the leader Lu Heng will come in person. If they notice anything, I'm afraid..."

The fifth elder shook his head slightly: "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements. The most dangerous time is also the safest time. The reason why I chose to act at this time is because no one would have thought that we would take action at this time. As long as we do it in advance If you don't get discovered by them, that's half the battle."

"Then what if they discovered it beforehand?" Xuan Yi was still a little worried.

"Will not!"

The fifth elder shook his head affirmatively and smiled slightly when he saw Xuan Yi's puzzled face.

"Because the action is tonight."

"Tonight?!" Xuan Yi exclaimed in a low voice, and several Xuanzi Anzi behind him also made a commotion.

They didn't expect that the fifth elder would do what he said and would actually set the time for action tonight.

"Look, even you haven't thought of it, let alone others. Tonight is the best time!" The fifth elder laughed, his voice a little proud.

Xuan Yi was a little hesitant, and after being silent for a long time, he asked: "Fifth Elder, do you want to wait a little longer? There are still too many target areas. If we act tonight, I'm afraid there will be accidents in multiple linkages."

The fifth elder shook his head and said in a low voice: "We can't wait any longer. Tonight is the best time. If we wait any longer, the elders and peak masters of the peaks, and even Lu Heng, will come, and then we will have no chance." It doesn’t matter if an accident happens. If you can take away one, just kill them if you can’t.”

Xuan Yi thought for a moment and knew that what the Fifth Elder said was right. Now was indeed the best time, so he nodded in agreement.

After thinking for a while, the fifth elder said again: "Tonight's operation, you guys are only responsible for the leadership, and you will be responsible for arranging the disciples from the 20th onwards. You will be responsible for the specific arrangements. As for Xuan Shi, isn't there still half of us? , Arrange for him to go, a young monk in the middle stage of pill formation will not take much effort to inform the other disciples and deal with Xuan Shi after leaving Taixu Palace. "

"Fifth Elder, Xuan Shi's cultivation is advanced and his skills are even more impressive. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the disciples after number 20 to defeat him." Xuan Yi hesitated.

The fifth elder smiled softly, stretched out his hand and handed out a pill.

Xuan Yi took it and smelled it gently, his expression suddenly changed.

"Soul Gu?"

"That's right." The fifth elder chuckled and nodded, "Xuan Shi has been poisoned. This soul poison is the medicine guide corresponding to the poison in his body. Just crush it near him to trigger the attack of the poison in his body. By then, let alone a monk, even an ordinary person can kill him with a sword."

Xuan Yi felt cold in his heart.

He knew that the Dayan Dynasty used different methods to control their dark disciples, and many of the dark disciples did not know what kind of ban they had been given until their death. At this time, when he heard that Xuan Shi had been planted with this extremely vicious soul poison, he couldn't help but feel sad in addition to feeling cold all over his body.

Once the soul Gu is activated, Xuan Shi's tragic end can be foreseen, and Xuan Shi can't bear to think about it.

The pain of not being like this would be as satisfying as killing him with a sword.

The fifth elder looked at Xuan Yi's face and the silent people beside him, and knew what they were thinking, so he smiled softly.

"Our Dayan dynasty has always been fair, with rewards and punishments for merit. As long as you serve me seriously, and retire after you have achieved success, I, Dayan, will naturally not treat you badly. But if you are so unclear with Xuan Shi He is greedy for comfort and endangers the comfort of other disciples. I have made it clear in the law of Dayan, so naturally I cannot spare him."

"Yes, we will follow the Fifth Elder's teachings." Xuan Yi and others hurriedly bowed in response.

The fifth elder nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand to indicate that they could leave.

After everyone left, only the fifth elder was left. He turned his back again and stared at the Divine Sword Peak.

“After living here for hundreds of years, even I can’t bear to part with it, alas!”

After a long time, a faint sigh drifted away in the wind, and the fifth elder disappeared, as if he had never appeared.
