Chapter 164: Sect Leader, Senior Brother Changge is a real person!
Everyone present stood up and bowed, "Master."
Qing Yunzi nodded slightly, "Everyone, sit down."
Everyone took the order and sat down, "Yes."
Lingyue Zhenren asked curiously, "Master, what do you mean by "only half of what you said is right?"
Qing Yunzi did not answer, but looked at Gui Lei deeply, then took out a few jade slips with photos and handed them to the leaders present.
"Go and see for yourself, especially you, Junior Brother Gui!"
Especially when he mentioned the three words "Junior Brother Gui", Qing Yunzi almost shouted them out loud.
Although the leaders present did not understand why the head master suddenly got angry, they still took the jade slips with the photo and immersed their consciousness into them.
After a few breaths, the faces of the chiefs of Zhenwu Peak, Yuling Peak and Xiaozhu Peak all showed incredible expressions.
"Old Gui! Senior Brother Gui! Junior Brother Gui! How can you not handle such a serious matter as the blood sacrifice!?"
Blood sacrifice is an extremely evil and inhumane way of cultivation, which requires the essence, blood, and soul of mortals or monsters to complete.
Moreover, once one becomes a blood sacrifice victim, he or she will never be able to enter the six realms of reincarnation and be reborn.
Their actions are simply unscrupulous and are not accepted by both the good and evil worlds.
Just by taking a look at the contents of the jade slip, Gui Lei broke out in a cold sweat and felt terrible.
(Fuck! That old lady, Pavilion Master Xue, is seriously ill, right? Why did she go to the Sect Master to tell him about it when she didn’t even reply to her message?)
(A bunch of lowly people! You are worthless! You still bother me even after you die. Do you really think that time was sent by the strong wind?)
(I give up. It was just a blood sacrifice, and not many people died. Is it worth mobilizing so many troops? What a bunch of idiots!)
Although he cursed those dead ants in his heart, Gui Lei burst into tears on the surface.
"Master, fellow brothers and sisters, I, I feel sorry for these dead people, I feel guilty towards Qingyun Immortal Sect."
"In fact, I received a message from Pavilion Master Xue a few days ago."
All the leaders were puzzled and asked, "Why haven't you dealt with this matter until now?"
Gui Lei choked up and said, "This Pavilion Master Xue is an outsider. He only needs to send a message. He doesn't even need to go to the scene. But I need to consider a lot of things!"
"As the head of Discipline Peak, I have to handle all rewards and punishments, big or small, within the Immortal Sect. Not only that, I also have to keep a record of every disciple's itinerary when they go out. I'm so busy!"
All the leaders suggested, "Why don't you discuss this with us? Why don't you report it?"
"If the headmaster hadn't suddenly gotten angry, we wouldn't have known such a serious incident had happened!"
Gui Lei was still shedding crocodile tears, "The Immortal Sect has been in a period of transition over the years. You have finally accepted a few talented disciples. They are all precious treasures in the sect."
"And the cultivator who initiated the blood sacrifice must be at an unfathomable level. I really can't bear to see them get hurt and die."
At this point, Gui Lei suddenly pulled Han Feiyu behind him to the front of the hall and said, "On the day I received the news from Pavilion Master Han, I sent a message to Feiyu asking him to come back to deal with this matter."
“But I didn’t expect that it was still a few days late, and hundreds of people died again!”
As he spoke, Gui Lei covered his face with his hands and cried even harder, a cry that truly expressed his emotions.
They were all fellow disciples who had been together for hundreds or thousands of years, so they had real feelings for each other. Seeing the head monk of a peak blaming himself and crying like a child, they couldn't bear to comfort him.
"Okay, Lao Gui, Junior Brother Gui, Senior Brother Gui, don't blame yourself too much. After all, as you just said, there are too many things to consider, so it's understandable that you were careless for a moment."
"But fortunately, Pavilion Master Han is a kind-hearted person and came to inform Sect Leader Yu in person, otherwise even more mortals would have died."
(What a nosy old woman! The one who died wasn't from her Tianji Pavilion. She really has nothing to do after having a full meal!)
Gui Lei cried and nodded: "Yes, Pavilion Master Han is indeed a good person."
As he said this, he turned his head to look at Qing Yunzi who was sitting on the first seat, and knelt down, "Master, I didn't do well enough in this matter, please punish me!"
After saying this, Gui Lei looked at the other three peak leaders and said in a tearful voice, "My fellow brothers and sisters, there is no need to plead for me. I was wrong in the end and I deserve to be punished!"
But how could they possibly listen? They all pleaded, "Master, Junior Brother Gui has admitted his mistakes, and he has explained all the reasons. Please forgive him this time."
At this time, Han Feiyu also knelt down and said, "Master, Feiyu came back too late and failed to help Master. If he had come back a few days earlier, he would have been able to help Master."
"This is all Feiyu's fault. If you want to punish him, punish Feiyu as well!"
Seeing this scene, Gui Lei began to cry again, "My fellow brothers and sisters, and my good disciple Feiyu, you don't have to do this. This is all my fault. Please punish me, Master."
After saying that, he kowtowed heavily towards Qing Yunzi. A "dong" sound was heard immediately, and then blood was seen oozing from his forehead.
Seeing the blood, everyone in the hall was shocked and speechless: "..."
Gui Lei was a late Mahayana cultivator, but now he was bleeding. He didn't even use his cultivation to protect his body, and just fell to the ground!
The hall was quiet for a long time.
Just when everyone thought that the headmaster was really going to punish Junior Brother Gui, Qing Yunzi's cold voice rang out:
"If I forgive you, who will forgive those people who died in the blood sacrifice?!"
(Old Qingyunzi, you are mentally ill. How can an immortal like me compare with those lowly people? I find it dirty even if they carry my shoes!)
Upon hearing this, all the leaders spoke up to plead again: "Master, Gui..."
"Shut up, everyone!" Qing Yunzi shouted and interrupted mercilessly.
Qing Yunzi looked at Gui Lei who was kneeling on the ground and said coldly: "The head of Discipline Peak, Gui Lei, was negligent and caused the death of many people in the East Wasteland. His crime is unforgivable!"
"But considering that the number of casualties was small and he sincerely repented, according to the sect's rules, all the people on Discipline Peak, including the chief monk, will be fined for three years of cultivation resources to be used for the aftermath of the disaster!"
"Gui Lei, do you know you are wrong?!"
Gui Lei kowtowed again, "Gui Lei knows he is wrong."
(Huh~ The self-torture trick still works, it’s worth my effort in acting!)
(Three years of cultivation resources, I laughed! No wonder Qingyun Immortal Sect is getting worse year by year, old man Qingyunzi, you are still too soft-hearted!)
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, "Thank you, Master, for showing mercy!"
According to the sect rules, Junior Brother Gui's actual punishment would be much more severe than this, and his cultivation might even be abolished. But now he has only lost all the cultivation resources of the peak for three years, which is just a drizzle.
"Humph!" Qing Yunzi snorted coldly, "If it weren't for the fact that the matter wasn't that serious, I would have punished him severely long ago!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Gui Lei and Han Feiyu who were still kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "Why are you still kneeling? Aren't you tired of acting?"
The two returned to their seats, "Thank you, Master!"
"The matter is settled, there is no need to discuss it further." Qing Yunzi waved his hand.
After saying this, he stared at the heads of several peaks present and said in a deep voice: "I believe you have all seen the conversation between me and Pavilion Master Xue. The blood sacrifice is of great importance and cannot be neglected in the slightest!"
"The location of the Qi Refining Disciples' training event happens to be near the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, so I want to choose someone to serve as the training captain on the surface and investigate the matter secretly. At the same time, I will stay by his side from a distance and kill the culprit immediately once I find out the real culprit."
"A few days ago, Master Lingyue suggested to me that Ning Changge, a disciple from Qiongming Peak, should take on this important task. What do you think? Or do you have any other candidates?"
Master Lingyue was the first to raise his hand to vote, "I agree!"
(Junior Brother Changge? He is indeed not bad. He has reached the Golden Core stage at a young age, and can fight across borders. He is also Junior Sister Qingyi’s disciple. Although this is dangerous, I think it should be no problem for him.)
Cui Shan and Yun Zhi looked at each other, as if they could see what the other was thinking, and then they all nodded in agreement: "Changge, you can take on this important task!"
However, Gui Lei immediately shook his head and denied it, "Junior Brother Changge can't do that. If this is just a simple training for the team, I will definitely agree."
"But the blood sacrifice is no small matter. This person must have absolute strength to dare to do such a thing that is outrageous to both humans and gods. Junior Brother Changge only has the Golden Core cultivation level, which is still a little bit behind my Feiyu."
At this point, Gui Lei bowed to Qing Yunzi and said, "So, Master, I propose to you that my disciple be the captain of this training, and Junior Brother Changge be his deputy, assisting him!"
Lingyue Zhenren was immediately unhappy: "You are so bad, Junior Brother Gui! I just pleaded for you, and you stabbed me in the back."
"I don't care. I've decided that I'm Junior-Nephew Changge!"
Gui Lei smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Sister Lingyue, now is not the time to lose your temper. This concerns the lives of many people in the Eastern Wasteland!"
Lingyue Zhenren refused to listen to anything and said, "No, you must choose Junior-Junior Brother Changge!"
"Okay, stop arguing."
Qing Yunzi spoke out to stop the two from arguing any further, and his eyes fell on Han Feiyu:
"Nephew Han, you and my disciple Su Shi entered the Immortal Sect in the same year. Uncle Master thinks highly of you. I wonder if you are willing to take on this important task?"
Qing Yunzi thought about what Gui Lei had just said and felt that he was right. After all, this matter required a disciple with a high level of cultivation. Although Junior Brother Changge was extremely talented, he had only practiced for a short time.
Hearing this, Han Feiyu secretly glanced at his master beside him, and saw him nodding at him without leaving a trace. He then remembered what he had said to him when he delivered the message:
“Fei Yu, after you return to the Immortal Sect, no matter what your master asks you to do, just nod and agree. Don’t ask for the reason. As long as you obey your master, I will guarantee that you will become a god in three years.”
Thinking of this, Han Feiyu no longer hesitated and nodded in agreement:
"Master, Fei Yuyuan..."
Before he could finish his words, a loud and ecstatic shout suddenly came from outside the hall:
"Master! Master! Great news!"
Everyone, including Qing Yunzi, looked curiously towards the door of the hall, only to see a white-haired old man holding a booklet, running and shouting:
"The latest monthly report of Tianji says... Junior Brother Changge killed a Yuanying Great Perfection Elder of Hehuan Sect with one sword in Liuyun City. His cultivation has reached the level of Divine Incarnation!"
It seemed that he was too excited and his speech was intermittent.
But everyone heard it clearly, stood up suddenly, their eyes widened, and they exclaimed in great surprise:
"What?! Divine Transformation!!"
Han Feiyu was even more stunned! He swallowed the word "意" and changed it to something else:
"Master, Senior Brother Changge is a real person. Feiyu dare not act presumptuously in front of him! Let him be the captain, and I will assist him from the side!"
Senior Brother Changge, you said earlier that you are a spirit! We are all fellow disciples, I can still tell who is the big and small Wang brother!
The same scene also happened in the boudoir of a woman from the Hehuan Sect in the East Wilderness at this time.
