Evil Master and Disciple

Chapter 1424 Yun Yi's True Thoughts

Master Yulin wasn't entirely foolish; he understood some social etiquette.

These final words were clearly an acknowledgment of Master Yunyi's contributions to the development of the Yunhai Sect over the years.

This pleased Master Yunyi greatly.

Master Yunyi's brows gradually relaxed, and he revealed a faint smile, saying, "Third brother, I am very pleased to receive your affirmation."

"Second Brother, you asked me a question, and I answered it. Now I have a question for you, and I hope you will answer it truthfully."

"go ahead."

"Did you commit the massacre of the Guo family fourteen years ago?"

Upon hearing this, the smile on Master Yunyi's face gradually disappeared.

Several months ago, at the Ancestral Hall, the senior brothers and sisters gathered together. Master Yunyi told Yu Chenzi about the snowy night in Qizhou that year, and how the eldest brother did not die when he activated the Heavenly Demon Decomposition Technique, but was saved by him and imprisoned behind the Discipline Hall.

However, he did not mention the massacre of the Guo family fourteen years ago.

Because in everyone's mind, Yulong Fatty killed Linglong and the eldest brother's son back then.

Master Yunyi was surprised that Master Yulin knew about the Guo family's affairs.

Master Yunyi asked, "Third brother, who told you about the Guo family in Qizhou?"

Master Yulin said, “I promised him that I would not reveal his identity. A gentleman keeps his word. I will not tell you who this person is.”

Master Yunyi sighed and said, "Since you even know about the Guo family, I have no reason to hide it from you. Back then, the sixth brother didn't kill the eldest brother's son. Instead, he placed him behind the Guo family's courtyard gate. Later, this child was adopted by the former head of the Guo family and named Guo Wei. Because Guo Wei had extremely high cultivation talent, and the sixth brother would secretly visit him every few years to teach him some sword techniques and supernatural abilities of the Yunhai Sect, Guo Wei's cultivation progressed very quickly. He soon stood out among the young disciples of the Guo family and became the head of the Guo family."

Master Yulin said, “I know Guo Wei’s experience very well. What I’m asking you is whether you were responsible for the massacre of the Guo family fourteen years ago. You haven’t answered me yet.”

Do you think I did it?

"I don't know, that's why I'm asking you."

Will my answer affect whether you accept my previous suggestion?

Yu Lin nodded and said, "Of course there are."

Master Yunyi said softly, "I have known about Guo Wei's existence from the very beginning. It has been more than two hundred years. If I wanted to eliminate him completely, I would have done so long ago. Why would I suddenly take action after so many years?"

Master Yulin frowned slightly and said, "This is also something I can't figure out."

Master Yunyi said, "Whether you believe it or not, this matter has nothing to do with me."

"Oh, what evidence do you have to prove that you have nothing to do with this?"

"Ye Feng is Guo Wei's youngest son."

"what?"

Master Yulin suddenly stood up, his expression one of utter astonishment.

Master Yunyi said calmly, "Third brother, you heard right. Sixth brother's disciple, Ye Feng, is Guo Wei's youngest son and the eldest brother's grandson, Guo Zhengfeng. I already knew about it when sixth brother brought Feng'er back to Yunhai Sect fourteen years ago. That's why I secretly instructed fourth brother to imprison Ye Feng in the stone cell behind the Discipline Hall from time to time, keeping him with the eldest brother."

That's why after my eldest brother died, I asked Ye Feng to guard the tomb in the back mountain for three months. Actually, I wanted Ye Feng to observe mourning for my eldest brother.

If I was truly wrong about that matter, how could I possibly tolerate Ye Feng? And how could I possibly value Ye Feng so much?

We are brothers who grew up together since childhood. Now that we've opened up tonight, I'll tell you a secret: I plan to make Ye Feng my successor after I pass away.

I've never told anyone this secret, but Lao Liu is clever; he probably guessed I had this idea.

Master Yunyi spoke casually, but every word he uttered sounded like a thunderclap to Master Yulin.

Master Yulin's expression changed rapidly: shock, surprise, confusion, bewilderment...

Various expressions were constantly changing.

He thought he had seen through Yun Yi, but tonight he realized that he had never really understood Yun Yi.

It took about a dozen breaths for Master Yulin to recover from his shock.

He looked at Yun Yi with a complicated expression and said, "Third brother, you're not joking with me, are you?"

Master Yunyi said calmly, "Do you think I would joke about something like this?"

Master Yulin slowly said, "So that's how it is. Your secret support for Ye Feng to open the Spirit Treasure Pavilion in Immortal Spirit Valley was paving the way for Ye Feng!?"

"Yes, that's right. Ye Feng is too young. He's surrounded by some unreliable young disciples. His influence in the sect is nowhere near that of Jing Hong and Chang Kong. That's why I secretly helped him."

"Why? Why is this happening? He... since he's the eldest brother's grandson, why would you want to pass the throne to him? Are you feeling guilty towards the eldest brother and want to make amends?"

Faced with Master Yulin's questioning, Master Yunyi sighed softly.

He poured himself another glass of wine, drank it all in one gulp, and then said, "That's part of the reason, but not the main one."

What is the main reason?

"The Three Swords of Godslaying".

Upon hearing this, Master Yulin was slightly taken aback, but then he understood what Master Yunyi meant.

Master Yulin was a martial arts fanatic and did not consider many issues thoroughly.

So at this moment, he suddenly realized why Master Yunyi chose Ye Feng, even though both Fu Jinghong and Dugu Changkong were so outstanding.

Yes, the Three Swords Techniques to Slay Gods...

This is a very reasonable reason, but if it is only based on the Three Swords of God-Slaying, Master Yulin feels that it seems a bit far-fetched.

Seeing that Master Yulin remained silent, Master Yunyi continued, "I don't need to elaborate on how powerful Grandmaster Dugu's Three Swords of God-Slaying Technique is. You know better than I do. Over the years, countless talented disciples of the Yunhai Sect have wanted to learn it, but Grandmaster Dugu has not passed it on to anyone."

Ye Feng is the only successor of his grandmaster uncle; his future achievements are limitless.

"Even if Ye Feng has mastered the Three Swords of Godslaying, that's not a reason for you to change the heir. Ye Feng's temperament is not suitable for being the sect leader. He is too unruly and unrestrained. If he becomes the sect leader, it could be a disaster for the Yunhai Sect."

"I know, but I have no other choice."

"why?"

"Because of the Shadow Master."

Master Yulin frowned again and asked, "Another Xuan Ying Zhe? What is your relationship with Xuan Ying Zhe?"

"Third brother, you don't know what a Mystic Shadow is. It is independent of the Three Shadow Divisions. Mystic Shadows are all peerless experts within the sect, and there are a great number of them."

The founder's original intention in establishing the Mystic Shadows was to protect the foundation of the sect, and the Mystic Shadows were not subject to the sect leader's orders.

Over the years, the Shadow Master has been a sword hanging over the sect leader's head, ready to fall at any moment.

I want to end Xuan Ying's privileges.

Therefore, the future sect leader must be powerful and must master the Three Sword Techniques of Godslaying. Only in this way can the future sect leader completely escape the threat from the Shadow Assassins.
