Chapter 614: Desperate and Angry
Chapter 614: Desperate and Angry
Fu Jinghong positioned himself as a spectator who stayed out of the matter.
I didn't expect that this idiot Old Ye had no moral principles and actually pushed himself out.
Although he gave himself face by publicly saying that he was secretly tracking down the gang, he did not catch anyone alive, nor did he find the group of girls.
What would the elders in the hall think if I told this in public?
They will not praise themselves for how good or capable they are, nor will they comfort themselves that victory and defeat are common in the military.
They will only wonder why you, Fu Jinghong, would secretly investigate such a big matter without the master's knowledge?
When you got the news, shouldn't you report it to the leader immediately?
The matter of Cave No. 1 has ruined Ye Feng. No matter in the mind of his master or the senior elders of the Yunhai Sect, this matter will not add any points to him.
Fu Jinghong saw many elders looking at him, and secretly greeted one of Ye Feng's ancestors in his heart.
Then, Fu Jinghong secretly glanced at his master.
Master Yun Yi said calmly, "Jinghong, since you are more knowledgeable about this matter, then you can talk to the elders about it."
Since the master had spoken, Fu Jinghong dared not disobey.
He bowed slightly and said, "Yes, Master."
Fu Jinghong did not walk from behind Master Yun Yi to the center of the hall. Instead, he stood behind Master Yun Yi and said slowly, "Junior Brother Ye Feng once privately gave me a map and a digital code and asked me to keep it for you.
I didn't take these two things seriously at first, until half a year ago, when I heard that Junior Brother Ye was secretly harmed, I remembered the things he had given me.
Later, after my secret investigation, I found that the map was actually a map of some of the connection points of the Tianyun Mountain's geomagnetic veins. As for the digital code, it contained a list of names.
Junior Brother Ye had lost his memory at that time, and I was unable to decipher the names on the list, so I started with the spiritual vein map and sent people to secretly investigate according to the locations indicated on the map.
Later, the fight between Junior Brother Ye and Junior Sister Shen reminded me of the jade cicada that Uncle Yu Mu gave to Junior Brother Ye Feng as a token of engagement, so I borrowed the jade cicada from Junior Brother Ye in private.
With Yuchan's help, the progress was very smooth. A few days ago, the people I sent to look for them suddenly met four mysterious monks five hundred miles east of Xingluo Peak.
They had just killed an earth spirit beast and were cutting open its body.
When my men arrived, the four men immediately fled.
We dug out the bodies of two naked women from the belly of the earth spirit beast, one of whom was still breathing.
According to what the woman said before she died, hundreds of girls were imprisoned in a secret underground cave for their enjoyment.
After hearing the news, I immediately asked Junior Brother Ye for help, hoping to find that place and rescue those innocent girls..."
Fu Jinghong told the general course of events in Cave No. 1 Valley in detail.
He is not like Ye Feng who talks a lot about horse racing.
There was not much falsehood or exaggeration in his story, which was more in line with the situation and the truth at that time.
However, he concealed the fact that he was secretly searching for the connection point of the earth veins and looking for that group of people with the purpose of bringing down the eldest senior brother.
In just a few words, he packaged himself as a knight who cared about his country and his people. He wanted to eradicate this gang of spiritual energy thieves, protect the foundation of the Yunhai Sect, and rescue the imprisoned young girls.
There was a commotion in the hall.
Many people showed anger on their faces.
The most astonished person among them was Dugu Changkong.
As the eldest senior brother of the Yunhai Sect, he controls the Discipline Academy and the Transmission Academy...
But he didn't know that so many things happened in the Yunhai Sect during the battle, nor did he know that Fu Jinghong had done all these things behind his back.
"How audacious! Not only did they steal the spiritual energy from the earth's veins, they even captured a large number of mortal women to use as cauldrons!"
"Yes, even the demons from the Demon Cult wouldn't be able to do such a cruel and atrocious thing!"
"Who is it! I'll kill him with my sword!"
Angry shouts filled the entire Yunhai Hall.
The powerful anger made the flames in dozens of braziers around him unstable, and the rising flames began to swing violently.
Now they finally understood that the Sect Leader had said to talk behind closed doors because he didn't want the matter to be spread out, so as not to affect the foundation of the Yunhai Sect.
At that time, many people thought that Master Yun Yi was exaggerating, but only now did they realize that this was not an exaggeration. If things were not handled properly, it would really affect the foundation of the Yunhai Sect.
The righteous sects value reputation the most.
As one of the leaders of the righteous sects, the reputation of the Yunhai Sect is even more important.
Now is the eve of the Lingshan battle, and many people from the Demon Cult have quietly entered the Middle-earth world.
There are constant undercurrents among the righteous sects, and they all want to step on other sects to gain power and become the largest sect in the righteous path.
If it were revealed at this time that many people in the Yunhai Sect had committed such evil deeds, both the various sects of the Demon Sect and the other ambitious sects of the righteous path would definitely seize on this matter and attack the Yunhai Sect.
By then, the Yunhai Sect will be in a passive position.
These old men and women were all filled with righteous indignation.
In addition to the importance they attach to the foundation of the Yunhai Sect, there are also some young people who have not yet extinguished their ambition to slay demons and uphold the way of heaven.
Just as one of the elders said, cultivating the furnace is too cruel, so even the vicious monsters in the Demon Sect rarely dare to do such a thing.
They didn't expect that such a terrible thing would happen in the famous and upright Yunhai Sect.
Seeing the chaos in the hall, Master Yun Yi frowned slightly and said, "Everyone, be quiet and listen to Jinghong finish his words."
The headmaster spoke, and the noisy Yunhai Hall quickly quieted down.
Master Yun Yi gestured for Fu Jinghong to continue.
Fu Jinghong nodded slowly.
"Based on the spiritual vein map, we believe the earth spirit beast must have escaped from the earth vein connection point near the valley. That connection point should have become the nest of that group of people.
However, that group of people hid very secretly and used a mysterious magic circle to seal the spiritual energy emitted from the spiritual vein connection point. We didn’t find any entrance or exit..."
From this point on, Fu Jinghong began to make up stories.
He would never tell everyone that they had found the entrance and exit that day, and the reason they didn't rush in immediately was that he was planning to bring down Dugu Changkong.
"My men searched the valley for two days without success. On the second night, dozens of masked men suddenly emerged from the darkness. They were numerous and powerful, and their attacks were brutal. Among them were masters at the Heavenly Man Realm. My men were no match for them, so we had no choice but to temporarily avoid them and break out."
Having said that, the story that Fu Jinghong wanted to tell has basically been told.
As for later sending people through the giant tree passage to enter the three-story underground cave, he did not mention it.
Because he had learned from his master last time that it was that brat Ye Feng who had secretly entered Cave No. 1 from the underground world and not only killed many people, but also rescued the group of girls.
Ye Feng knew more about Cave No. 1 than he did.
