The man's voice was slightly hoarse and somewhat familiar.
I recognized it and asked, "Fourth Elder?"
"Manifest Deity?" The Fourth Elder's voice slightly thickened.
"Did Wu Ling return to the mountain?" I asked again.
"How did you suddenly contact Wu Ling?" The Fourth Elder's voice was even rougher, with a hint of exhaustion.
From it, I could clearly hear some different implications.
The brain immediately devised a pretext, slightly embellished the words conveyed by Wu Jinluan, that is, I came to Yunduoshan for private affairs. I found Dingxiang Shensuan, and thus had some connection with Yuertai and Wegui Daoist Schools.
The group eventually transformed enemies into friends and entered the tomb of the great fortune site. However, the result was tragic, with many casualties. The people from Yuertai Daoist School were unfortunately all killed, Dingxiang Shensuan died, and I barely escaped alive after escaping the aftermath. Therefore, I had to contact Wu Ling because I needed to borrow the ability of Yuertai Daoist School to communicate with more masters to suppress Piumang Ghosts. It was necessary for the current plan to change.
This speech basically combined with the testimony of Wegui Daoist School, even if Wu Ling wanted to find fault, he could not say anything.
I did not mention the matter of the Second Elder.
In the speech of Wegui Daoist School, they did not mention the Second Elder either, and it was skillfully covered up.
Because once the existence of the Second Elder is mentioned, many things will collapse on their own.
Wu Ling can only swallow his grievances in silence.
"Ah, I see... So." The Fourth Elder muttered.
Then, he sighed heavily before saying, "Wu Ling has run into trouble. He's gone missing. It was about ten days ago that Yuertai Daoist School was attacked, but the identity of the attackers is unknown. However, according to the description given by Yuertai Daoist School, it should be a group of monks, and it is highly likely that they are the monks from Heicheng Temple."
My heart began to pound wildly.
The Fourth Elder continued, "His personal belongings were delivered to Sihui Mountain by Yuertai Daoist School. Many of our disciples have been sent to Yuertai Daoist School to assist in searching for Wu Ling, but so far, he has not been seen or found."
"I understand, Fourth Elder." I replied, my tone also slightly regretful.
"At least on the surface of Sihui Mountain, what Wu Ling has done is nothing serious; in fact, he even showed great righteousness by severing family ties. Added to that, the issue of his bloodline, the elders would naturally pay more attention to him."
"By the way, Fourth Elder, about the Piumang Ghosts, I have a group of Yinyang Masters who are equally strong. It's because of some private matters that I need to go to Xian Dong Mountain again. So I won't be returning to the mountain gate for the time being. The batch of masters I know will set up their own shop next to Xian Dong Mountain, and at the same time, they will gather a large number of masters to discuss how to suppress the Piumang Ghosts." I added.
"Hmm, you have always been a reliable one in showing Deity, and I will inform the True One of this matter." The Fourth Elder replied.
After He You Tian's identity changed, everyone's address changed from Senior Master to True One. This was not a sign of estrangement but a symbol.
"If there are any clues from Wu Ling, please let me know, Fourth Elder."
After I finished speaking, the Fourth Elder agreed and then hung up the phone.
After contacting He You Tian again, I spoke without any concealment, and told him all the facts.
Moreover, He You Tian himself agreed that I should deal with Wu Ling in secret, and I communicated this to him. This would make the problems less.
Moreover, I not only said that Wu Ling may have been captured by the twin monk Jinlun, but also that the relationship between Yuertai Daoist School and Wu Ling was unclear. My fellow Daoist School and I jointly eliminated those people. Of course, I did not conceal the appearance of the Second Elder either.
"Old Two deserved to die, but he actually broke through that last obstacle just before his death." He You Tian sighed softly, "Although with external force, his mind was indeed much more tenacious. It's a pity that he went off the right path."
"After this battle, I feel even more confident in your strength, Senior Brother." He You Tian's tone was filled with reassurance.
The joy in my heart was also spontaneously generated.
"However, we must see the person when they are alive and the body when they are dead. When you go to Xian Dong Mountain, greet those two monks... Masters on my behalf, and ask for Wu Ling." He You Tian paused slightly before saying, "To prevent any further changes, it would be best if their souls are scattered and their bodies turned to dust."
"I understand, Senior Brother," I replied.
He You Tian was definitely not a heartless person, and his instructions were more appropriate.
"However, you still need to be prepared. Even if Wu Ling has not been captured, and if he thinks it might have been you who acted in the shadows, that would make him a snake hiding in the dark. You must be extremely careful," He You Tian continued.
"Okay." My tone was serious.
Only then did I remember that I had overlooked a detail, which was that the lamas had also found me.
Just as I was about to tell He You Tian, he spoke in a much lighter tone, saying, "Lately, there has been an eastward flow of purple gas to Sihui Mountain, and a strand of purple smoke has been swirling around the Six Palaces. It seems that Si Yan is about to break through her seclusion. It's a great joy to have another True One, especially one so young. With Piumang Ghost under Tang Wu True One's hand, when you've made the arrangements, many Taoist temples will go to Xian Dong Mountain. I will bring Si Yan with me; she should be eager to see you."
I: "……"
"I, Senior Brother, Disguised has his own heart, and there have been many issues before. I always didn't have the chance to mention it. But please don't match it anymore." This time, I expressed my attitude and tone with determination.
For a moment, He You Tian fell silent abruptly.
After a moment, he sighed softly, "Alright, you young people's affairs are like a ball of yarn, hard to untangle. You can handle it yourselves. I'm an old man; I don't want to add to the confusion."
I also fell silent.
Without any more words to say, He You Tian hung up the phone.
A strong sense of exhaustion suddenly overwhelmed me.
During this period, I was truly on edge to the extreme. I fell onto the bed and slept deeply.
I don't know how long I had slept, but it was the knocking on the door that woke me up.
Liang Jia prepared a huge table for the welcoming banquet, and Feiang was also there. He came forward and bowed to me, looking very joyful.
Xu Jin changed into clean clothes, but the empty sleeves left a sense of sadness.
Wu Jinlan is a talkative person, constantly chatting with Liang Jieshi, laughing and talking together.
Feiang told me a lot of things, including that they had searched the Ding family thoroughly.
He found the items taken by Ding Ruipu from Yuyang Ju, and this trip can be considered a success.
I sincerely congratulated Feiang on his success. He had also done a lot of work, and quite a few people had died in the Cangshen Ground. If he had come back empty-handed, that would have been a great loss.
At this time, Feian told me a detail. That is, the Ding family is much weaker than what he had imagined. Although there was no Ding Ruipu, the Ding family is still a family of Yinyang Masters. Feian brought many people with him, but they didn't even engage in a fight.
Basically all the members of the Ding family had disappeared, leaving only some servants.
It was night now, and Old Gong appeared on my shoulder, saying, "How could they not run? Ding Ruipu is gone without a trace, and the ancestors were powdered to dust. Hmph, how could the Ding family not know about those things?"
While we were talking, Old Gong's face changed slightly, and he said, "Old Witch, she really takes good care of her own grandchildren."
