Several pavilion elders opened the red seal and read it roughly for a while.

"The situation is similar to Kyoto. Wu Tianjie flipped through the case files in his hand repeatedly,"Are they all cases from the past five years?""

"That old boy Lin Liansheng……"Xiao Tong cursed and threw the case file in his hand,"Nearly half of this is unresolved! That old boy has been suppressing it, and he still doesn't want to let the branch be a man!"

Lin Hefu quickly comforted Xiao Tong. Lu Sanqian asked quietly:"What are the yellow dots?"

"is an unsolved disappearance"

"Missing?"Several pavilion elders couldn't help but frowned. They are a fairy sect, not a local government. They only care about monsters and monsters. Why do they have to report a missing person? They also reported it all the way to Dancheng of this hospital? This is too lazy, right?.

Leng Yue pointed to another Huang Feng dossier and said slowly:"Take a closer look."

Several cabinet elders opened Huang Feng's file again and read it for a while.

"This also happened over a five-year period and is all unresolved."Wu Tianjie said while flipping through,"And they are all cases of multiple disappearances with unknown causes and similar circumstances. Although there is nothing wrong with taking over these matters, reporting it to Dancheng is a bit of a fuss."

"Yes, isn’t there a lot of speculation in it? In this case, just continue to investigate and get rid of those ghosts and monsters. They are not that powerful. It is too procrastinating to delay the division of pavilions. Moreover, many cases in this file are just used to make up the numbers? Putting aside those ghost stories, it was just an inexplicable mountain disaster. Being robbed and killed by bandits should be reported to the official.

Lu Sanqian frowned and said:"These are not reported by the branch cabinet, at least most of them are not reported.""

"ah?"Xiao Tong looked at Lu Sanqian in confusion.

Lu Sanqian turned over the file, pointed to the front page of a case, and said:"Most of the cases were reported recently, but the cases occurred far and near, and the longest one was five years ago. Moreover, the sponsors are all children of the branch, but most of the tasks handled by the branch are commissions, and the sponsors should be different. A closer look at the contents of each case file shows that the real initiators are indeed different. Some are local officials, some are stationed soldiers, and some are local people. Lu Sanqian looked at Leng Yue and said gloomily,"The only explanation is that someone sent a task to the Sifang Branch to deliberately investigate the unsolved disappearance cases in various places over the past five years.""

Leng Yue didn't answer.

Tan Mingshan said with a smile:"Junior brother Lu is worthy of being the head of Qianji Pavilion, he is really as careful as hair. Seeing that Lu Sanqian ignored him, Tan Mingshan could only cough in embarrassment,"Let me answer Senior Brother Xiao first. What is in this file is not that the brothers in each branch are being negligent, but that it was finally verified that there are no such monsters in the local area, and there is even no mountain disaster." , said it belonged to bandits, but no body could be found. The robbers were looking for money. If they really killed people, they would never go to such great lengths to hide the bodies. These are all strange cases.

Xiao Tong was puzzled and impatient:"Why are you doing all this?" Still think it’s not chaotic enough now?"

Leng Yue then spoke:"I ordered people to investigate, and Junior Brother Tan was just helping to sort it out."

"What do you want to do?"Wu Tianjie looked at Leng Yue displeased.

Leng Yue said slowly:"A few days ago, Lin'an branch reported another news, saying that the proliferation of monsters was deliberately caused by someone. Those missing people were most likely used by others to do certain things, and these things were probably related to the proliferation of monsters in Kyoto.

Wu Tianjie reacted immediately and said in shock:"You mean there is indeed a demon general, and the demon general has been lurking in the mortal world for five years, and he has been conducting experiments on people to dye demons and demonize them?" Lin Hefu was shocked:"

This... this is a major flaw." I don’t know what the situation is like in other sects’ jurisdictions. If it only happened in our sect’s jurisdiction, then our sect would be to blame, and we might even be accused of being a member of the demonic world!"

Xiao Tong also looked pale."What should we do now?"

"It is urgent to verify these matters before other sects are assembled. If he is really a demon general, we cannot let him die at the hands of another faction. It is best for our faction to kill him first."Leng Yue said lightly

"This is easier said than done. Wu Tianjie frowned and retorted,"In the past, the Immortal Alliance meetings were all about making wedding clothes for the Shangsan Sect. How could we have a chance?" Now that the Immortal Alliance has issued an order to kill the immortals, the top three sects must all come out with their elites. How can we kill the demon general before the other sects do? Tan

Mingshan comforted him:"Brother Wu, don't be anxious. Senior Brother Leng and I have discussed this before." We believe that the mastermind behind this may not be in Kyoto. After all, Kyoto is home to the Li family and is protected by the Ji family. There is no news that Ji's barrier has been destroyed. If there is a demon general in Kyoto, Penglai cannot be unaware of it."

After hearing this, several pavilion elders breathed a sigh of relief.

"Moreover, we have more information than other sects. The Lin'an branch is also actively investigating. We need to find out what is behind the scenes first. Compared to other sects, our sect still has the advantage."

"However, these cases are so scattered. The sect also has to deal with the summoning order of the Immortal Alliance. How can it have so many manpower to investigate?"

"Yes, Zixu Pavilion and Langhuan Pavilion are still doing nothing at this time.……"

"Both Langhuan Pavilion and Qianji Pavilion focus on special research and have little combat effectiveness. Even if they can have people, they will not be able to do anything like this. Even if the Demon General is not in Kyoto, the summoning order of the Immortal Alliance cannot be ignored. If we all go to investigate these cases, who will deal with it in Kyoto?"

"I will personally lead the team in Kyoto."Leng Yue replied indifferently."This sect cannot be guarded by anyone, so it will be guarded by Langhuan Pavilion and Qianji Pavilion. There are very few incidents in Zhongzhou, and they are handled by our court, Guo Yuan. Junior Brother Tan leads the team in Changzhou, and Junior Brother Lin coordinates; Junior Brother Xiao is in charge of southern Fujian, and Xiao Tianji Lin Xi of Zixu Pavilion leads the team and coordinates; Junior Brother Wu is in charge of Xiangyang, and our Pavilion Zhong Wanling coordinates."

After the Ziwei Palace meeting ended, Tan Mingshan followed Leng Yue back to Qixuan Pavilion.

Tan Mingshan was still puzzled by Leng Yue's arrangements at the meeting."Brother Yue, why did you let Junior Sister Zhong lead the team to coordinate? She has just established a government, and according to the usual practice, she is not qualified to go out to practice."

"Do you have a more suitable candidate than her?"Leng Yue asked instead without answering."These are troubled times, and it's not up to us to pick them. In other words, she asked for it."

"Maybe, I mean, how about I go talk to Mr. Wu. This is an urgent moment. This situation can be big or small. Even if he is Beichen Tianquanzi, he should consider it for the sect."Tan Mingshan persuaded

"Do you think he doesn't know?"Leng Yue was finally displeased and cursed softly,"Both of them have their own little plans."

Tan Mingshan didn't understand who or what Leng Yue was referring to, but it was rare to see Leng Yue showing such an anxious and unhappy mood.

Just at this moment, a clear ringtone rang.

Leng Yue made a soft"tsk" sound, and raised his eyebrows from the corner of his eyes. He twitched, but did not answer.

Tan Mingshan asked on his behalf:"Who?"

"Zhong Wanling, the instructor of Qixuan Pavilion, asked for an audience."

Leng Yue sighed and said softly,"I still can't tell at all." While urging the glazed wind chime in front of him, he said,"Let her come in.""

After a while, Zhong Wanling pushed the door open and came in.

As soon as Zhong Wanling entered the door, he saw Tan Mingshan sitting next to Leng Yue, looking at her with an indescribable look. Zhong Wanling did not look at Tan Mingshan and bowed directly to Leng Yue.."Wan Lan heard that the Lin'an Branch Pavilion sent an urgent report to the Shangqing Sect asking for help, so he came to ask Ying to take his disciples to rush for help.

Leng Yue said coldly:"Don't you know the rules of Shangqing Sect?" You are currently not qualified to lead a demon-killing and experienced team.

Zhong Wanling replied calmly:"Wanlan understands what the head of the pavilion said." Wan Lan is willing to follow the team leader as an auxiliary support. The disciples of Wanlan Sect are all middle and high-level, and their ability to argue is not bad. Although I am not qualified enough, I have my advantages in Lin'an."

"What are the advantages?"Leng Yue sneered,"Just because you are from Lin'an branch? If the branch can handle it, is there any need to ask for help from the main sect?"

"But it’s not all clueless! Zhong Wanling hurriedly explained:"Let me report to the Pavilion Master, this matter is very likely to be the same case that I and my colleagues in the branch have been pursuing for five years." If it can be confirmed, then the culprit in this case will be identified. Moreover, the blood demon is difficult to deal with, and one more person means more strength. Five years ago, my fellow practitioners from the branch and I killed a blood demon together, and we have experience in handling it."

"That is not a blood demon, but an ordinary person who is deeply demonized and demonized. Do you think Dan City will not investigate?"Leng Yue retorted coldly,"The culprit? Then tell me who the culprit is? Zhong

Wanling paused, but there was a look of hesitation on his face.

Leng Yue saw through Zhong Wanling's thoughts at a glance and said impatiently:"It doesn't matter whether you say it or not, I won't let you go." After five years of investigation, there are no results and the problem cannot be solved. I think Ziweidian overestimated your ability Zhong Wanling. Zhong

Wanling gritted his teeth and said,"The chief envoy is Li Guan, the crown prince of Prince Qi. Zhong Jianan and the Zou family of Wufu Tower are also involved.""

Leng Yue frowned and looked at Zhong Wanling without saying a word.

Tan Mingshan looked at the side and his husband-in-law was confused. In Ziwei Hall, Leng Yue clearly attached great importance to Zhong Wanling, a junior sister, and even arranged an important position for her. But now In front of him, he kept belittling her and repeatedly blocked her from applying for a job. But he couldn't let the two of them stalemate. Tan Mingshan had no choice but to bite the bullet and persuaded:"Hey, Junior Sister Zhong, don't give up, relatives. When involved in a case, one must avoid suspicion. I know that junior sister, you are upright, brave and fearless, and will never be afraid or seek favoritism. However, the Lin'an Blood Demon is heavily involved, so it is inevitable that some people will question it."

Leng Yue snorted coldly, glanced at Tan Mingshan, and said:"She doesn't want to cover up, she just wants to avenge herself."

Leng Yue looked at Zhong Wanling, her eyes becoming cold."I'm not interested in your Zhong family's grievances, and I don't need someone who will bring personal feelings into the task, let alone someone driven by personal ambition. Have you never reflected on the reason why you have been unable to break through the Hundred Eyes Pass? How to break through the obstacles when your mind is still intact!"

Zhong Wanling gritted his teeth, his face turned red, and he didn't say a word. Tan Mingshan winked at Leng Yue from the side. No matter what he said, this was too much.

But Leng Yue didn't intend to stop there."Also, Xian You don’t care about mortal affairs, let alone interfere in royal disputes in the mortal realm. Don’t you know this rule? Or are you saying that you have ignored the rules of the immortal sect because of your personal grudges? Even if some incompetent people want to borrow the power of the mortal world, they are just unpopular heretics. How can a mere mortal have the ability to drive a blood demon? If you are so stupid, get out of my Qixuan Pavilion, so as not to stain the lintel of my Qixuan Pavilion."

Tan Mingshan gritted his teeth as he heard this, and couldn't help but reach out to pull Leng Yue.

Leng Yue calmly slapped Tan Mingshan's hand away and said,"No need to say any more, this matter has been taken over by the Immortal Alliance. With the Immortal Alliance and the Sect jointly handling the matter, you don’t need to worry about it just as ordinary cultivators."

"Then...is there really no place for Wan Lan to serve at the head of the pavilion?"Zhong Wanling was not annoyed and said humbly,"I heard that the southwest is not peaceful either. If the chief minister is worried about Wanlan going to Lin'an, why not send me to the southwest."

Leng Yue glanced at Zhong Wanling, picked up the case file that had been prepared long ago from the desk and threw it in front of Zhong Wanling."You can find something to do if you have to. Hepei Branch is asking for help, saying that there have been frequent hauntings and disappearances in Jingzhou recently. Please go and investigate for them."

Zhong Wanling took the scroll, but still felt unwilling to do so.

Leng Yue frowned and knocked on the table."Still not going out? Don't screw up on your first mission."

Zhong Wanling bowed, took the scroll, excused himself, and exited the room.

Tan Mingshan glanced at Zhong Wanling who left silently with a dark face, sighed, then looked at Leng Yue who was sitting back in his seat coldly, and said helplessly:"Brother Yue, you What do you want to do? You have clearly made arrangements for Junior Sister Zhong a long time ago, why do you want to provoke her like this? He obviously valued her very much, but why did he speak so harshly in front of her?"

Leng Yue said coldly:"Humph, do you really think she is here to invite you?"

Tan Mingshan asked, did she come here specifically to scold her?

Leng Yue seemed to have seen through Tan Mingshan's mind and said,"She came here to scold me on purpose."

"ah?"

"To be precise, she was here to put on a show, so that others would think that she had just learned about the Lin'an Blood Demon. That's why I gave her a beating to prevent the girl from thinking that no one in the entire Shangqing Sect knew her plans, and that the entire Dan City was at her mercy. Tan

Mingshan laughed and said,"Brother Yue, what are you talking about? Junior Sister Zhong is only eighteen or nineteen this year?" She's just a little girl who hasn't left the government yet, what plans can she have? How could a little girl, who didn't even have the right to speak, influence the entire sect's decision? And kneading, ha, brother Yue, you really know how to joke."

Unexpectedly, Leng Yue lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said in deep thought:"……Perhaps, my arrangement was also part of her plan, and she had no intention of doing the Lin'an mission in the first place. Knocking on mountains and shaking tigers... What a fake Taoist priest! Huh, I'm afraid she was heading towards Southwest Hunan and Dong from the beginning. Damn girl, she's so calculating."

Tan Mingshan's jaw almost dropped.

Leng Yue rubbed Tan Mingshan's big head with compassion and said helplessly:"That girl has a lot more eyes than you, so you should worry less."
