Chen Jin frowned and said, "Fellow Taoist Tang, please don't get angry. I will definitely give your department an explanation for this matter."

"I don't care what your lord does. I'm here today and I'm going to take away Li Qing and Tang Yuan. Headmaster Chen won't stop them!"

"Of course, Li Qing and Tang Yuan can leave at any time. Wu Qi will bring them here immediately."

"Yes." Wu Qi responded and left.

Tang Ning said coldly: "Headmaster Chen, it's not that Tang is too talkative, but your sect's behavior is really too reckless. If this continues, I'm afraid your sect's life will not be peaceful in the future."

"It doesn't matter if we arrest and detain our people. We all belong to the Taoist sect, and the friendship is still there. We won't go to war over such a trivial matter. But if it is a chamber of commerce, a spiritual family, or even the Netherworld Sea Organization, can they give up so easily?"

"With all due respect, this approach is just to sow discord between our two sects and deliberately create friction and contradictions."

Chen Jindao: "What fellow Taoist Tang said is that I will definitely deal with the disciple responsible for this matter seriously."

Tang Ning waved her hands and said, "That's not necessary. I think they are acting under orders and can't help themselves. In fact, let them resolve their own grudges and grudges among the younger generation. It's all a matter of mutual consent. It's not like the elders are going to such a big fight.

It’s not good, not to mention bullying the small by the big is not a good quality, it’s disgraceful.”

"What's more, the matter involves the friendship between our two sects. By doing this, wouldn't it be treating the long-term friendship between your sect and our sect as child's play? If this matter is brought to the attention of our headquarters and the alliance, I am afraid they will be dissatisfied with your sect's actions."

"Think about it if you put yourself in their shoes. If our sect makes false accusations about something between juniors and arrests and detains disciples of your sect without even saying hello, Headmaster Chen will not be happy either!"

Chen Jindao: "This matter is indeed caused by our sect's haste. No matter what, I, the headmaster, bear an unshirkable responsibility. Please forgive Haihan, fellow Taoist Tang."

"I'm not blaming Fellow Daoist Chen. Forget it, let's not mention this matter. I know that it is not easy for Master Chen to be in this position. I hope that this kind of thing will not happen again in the future."

While the two were talking, a group of three people came in. Except for Wu Qi, the other two men were all wearing red robes.

One person is big-eared and has a late Jindan cultivation level.

He is handsome and handsome, with red lips and white teeth, regular facial features, and a middle-stage Jindan cultivation level.

There is no doubt that these two people are Li Qing and Tang Yuan. Tang Ning turned around and saw that they were handsome and handsome. She nodded secretly in her heart. No wonder Su Wan fell in love with them. One look at his face showed that he was a handsome man.

A veteran of flowers and a romantic figure.

"I've met Senior Zhang." The two of them bowed to Zhang Qing.

"Headmaster Chen, let's take our leave first." Tang Ning stood up and said.

"I'm seeing off fellow Taoist Tang." The group of people stood up and filed out of the hall. Chen Jin sent a few people to the outside of the formation, and said a few more polite words. When he saw a few people fleeing away, when he turned around, his face suddenly turned cold.

.

…

In the majestic cave, an old man with white beard and hair was sitting cross-legged on a futon with his eyes closed and meditating. There was a knock on the door outside. The old man opened his eyes and said calmly: "Come in."

A petite woman came in from the outside, bowed and saluted: "Master."

"What's up?"

"The master invites you to go and discuss matters."

The old man stood up and walked out.

"Master." The woman's eyes were filled with tears, and she said pitifully, "I'm sorry."

The old man smiled slightly and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, it's okay."

………

In the meeting hall, the senior officials of the Xuanye Sect gathered together in one room, the atmosphere was solemn and solemn, very depressing.

Just listen to Chen Jin's low words echoing in the empty hall.

"Today we convened a meeting to discuss an important matter. Just yesterday, Tang Ning, the head of the Taixuan Sect's Jingyuan Pavilion, came to visit. He asked why the sect arrested and detained Li Qing and Tang Yuan, his disciples recruited for no reason, and I asked

Only then did I find out that it was Wu Qi, the deacon of the town government department, who secretly brought these two men to the sect for interrogation."

"This is a serious external relationship incident that almost led to a catastrophe. Now Taixuanzong accuses us of deliberately creating conflicts and frictions, saying that Wu Qi's actions are to sow discord between the two sects, and requires us to give an explanation."

"Senior Brother Qin, Wu Qi is from Xuande Palace and is your disciple. How do you think he should be dealt with?"

Qin Hao said calmly: "The leader has said it! As far as I know, Tang Yuan himself is suspected of committing a major crime. He is suspected of killing Zhang Xian, a disciple of the sect. Wu Qi is performing his sect duties normally and went to investigate and interrogate

."

"Tang Yuan not only refused to cooperate, but he spoke rudely and insulted the sect. He even injured the disciple who came to question him. His arrogance was outrageous. Only then did Wu Qi and others subdue him and bring him back to the sect for questioning.

"

"This Tang Yuan is just a recruited monk under the Qingwu Camp of Taixuanzong. He dares to be so presumptuous and despise our sect. If we don't show him some shame, how will other sects in Xuantang City view us if word of the matter spreads?"

"There are so many sects stationed in Jingyuan Pavilion, such as Mirror Moon Sect, Xingyue Sect, and Canglang Sect. The total number of monks recruited by them is at least hundreds. If they all ride on the head of this sect and dominate, and this sect

Zong Qi hides himself behind the scenes and even punishes his disciples to please these people. How can he stand up in front of other sects in Xuantang City?"

"I'm afraid that when our disciples go out from now on, everyone will have to bend down and shrink their necks."

"I absolutely cannot agree with what the leader said, and I absolutely cannot agree with the decision to punish Wu Qi, not because he is my disciple, but for the sake of the sect's face."

Chen Jin had no expression on his face: "Brother Qin, you are changing your concept. Wu Qi rashly brought Taixuan Sect's recruited disciples back to the sect for interrogation without reporting it or any evidence. This is a violation of the sect in itself."

Regulations.”

"What's more, this matter has seriously affected the relationship between the two sects. If Taixuanzong gets angry, how can we bear this responsibility?"

"And I heard that there was a love affair between Tang Yuan and his disciple Su Wan. Wu Qi's actions are inevitably suspected of using a public weapon for private purposes and avenging private revenge."

"The sect has been weak for more than just a day. For so many years, we have been cautious, walking on thin ice, and survived in the cracks of the major forces. This time I propose to punish Wu Qi not only to give an explanation to Taixuan Sect, but also to give an explanation to others.

A warning to the disciples of the sect, otherwise if we continue to indulge like this, I don’t know how many troubles will arise in the future.”

Qin Hao said: "Wu Qi did this with my consent. Regardless of whether Li Qing, Tang Yuan and others were the real culprits in killing Zhang Xian, just because he injured a disciple of our sect is enough reason to arrest him."

Even if he is arrested and detained by the sect for questioning, even if he is the Taixuan Sect, he must abide by the rules and regulations between the sects, let alone just a recruiting monk."

"If Tai Xuanzong comes to investigate, I am willing to shoulder the responsibility and will not drag others down."

…………

In a blink of an eye, several months passed by in the blink of an eye. Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged in the room, practicing with his eyes closed. He opened his eyes when footsteps were heard outside. Not long after, Gu Yuanya pushed the door open and walked in: "Master, First Brigade

Ma Long, a disciple of the Guard Hall, is here and is asking for an audience outside."

What was he doing here? Tangning was confused and frowned slightly: "Invite him to wait in the living room!"

"Oh!" Gu Yuanya responded and turned around.

Outside the cave, Ma Long was standing waiting with his hands behind his hands. He saw thick fog billowing, and a woman inside escaped from the light and fell in front of her. She bowed her head and saluted: "Junior Gu Yuanya pays homage to my senior. My master invites you to come in."

Ma Long glanced at her and strode in without looking away, arriving at a spacious and bright hall.

"Senior, please wait here for a moment while I, the junior, go and call the master." Gu Yuanya said and left the hall.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, Tang Ning came in from the outside and bowed her head with a smile: "Senior Brother Ma is coming from afar. I didn't come far enough to greet you. I apologize."

Ma Long stood up and returned the salute: "Junior Brother Tang, you don't have to be polite."

"Please take a seat."

The two of them sat down separately. Tang Ning said, "How come Senior Brother Ma has time to come to my humble home today? Do you have any advice?"

"I came to your department this time because the brigade has given you an order."

"Oh? I don't know why?"

Ma Long glanced at Gu Yuanya and was speechless.

"You go out first." Seeing his behavior, Tang Ning became even more confused. Her face remained calm as she waved her hand and ordered.

Gu Yuanya retreated in response, and the stone door of the hall creaked shut.

"Senior Brother Ma, what exactly happened?"

"It's not that I don't trust your disciple, it's just that she is not a disciple of the sect, and the brigade asked me to pass on the secret order to you. I hope that Junior Brother Tang will forgive me."

"I understand, but I wonder what the team needs me to do?"

"There is a cultivating family named Zhang in the northwest area of ​​Jingyuan Pavilion. Does Junior Brother Tang know about it?"

"Zhang family?" Tangning frowned slightly: "I have never heard of this."

Ma Long said: "No wonder Junior Brother Tang doesn't know that the Zhang family is an insignificant cultivating family in Jingyuanting, attached to the Chen family. His family's Zhang Wei is just a golden elixir monk. In his early years, Zhang Wei was also a subordinate monk of the Chen family and worked for the Chen family.

After working for many years, I left the Chen family and founded my own family. The task assigned to you by the brigade is to secretly arrest and detain Zhang Yingxue."

"Zhang Yingxue?"
