Chapter 2042 Hush Money

Of course, if this matter were to be spread, it would indeed affect the morale of the army. Even Ximen Ren had colluded with the demons. This would undoubtedly give those fence-sitters a reasonable excuse to join the demons, which would probably cause a chain reaction. In both public and private terms, Ximen Yao hoped to conceal the news, and also to save some face for the Ximen family.

"Humph, everyone has their own responsibility. If this news is concealed, wouldn't it be condoning other cultivators to join the demons? All cultivators who join the demons must be severely punished and be infamous for thousands of years." Situ Yue retorted bluntly.

What a joke, how many cultivators of the Situ family died at the hands of the demons, all because of the traitor Ximen Ren.

"That's right, how many people in our Gongsun family died? Is it as simple as just killing him? I can't explain to the dead clan members." Gongsun Qian echoed.

"Madam Ximen, how many cultivators died at the hands of the demons? You want to keep the reputation of your Ximen family, we can understand, but how do you want us to explain to the dead clan members?" Ye Tianlong said bluntly.

Shi Yue said nothing and watched coldly.

He could see that Ye Tianlong and the others were asking for benefits. It was not that they ignored the lives of their people, but what Ximen Yao said made sense. The news that Ximen Ren colluded with the demons would definitely affect the morale of the army. Even Ximen Ren surrendered to the enemy. How could the human race defeat the demons?

The most terrifying thing was that they didn't know if there would be a second or third Ximen Ren. Ximen Ren's surrender to the demons would be a bad example for other cultivators. This was not what Shi Yue wanted to see. One thing for another.

It would not be too late to make the truth public after the demons were destroyed.

"Hmph, don't talk nonsense to me. Just say whatever you want. This time, our Ximen family is in the wrong. We admit it. I hope there is no demon insider among you, otherwise you will be in trouble." Ximen Yao said coldly.

Gongsun Qian and the others looked at each other and nodded to each other.

They each took out a blank jade slip, copied some of the content, and handed it to Ximen Yao.

They asked for a sum of immortal cultivation resources, each of which was a rare item, but it was nothing to the Ximen family, and a big loss was inevitable.

Shi Yue asked for some refining materials, and three Fengyan swords were not pseudo-immortal weapons, he needed materials to advance.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, there are not so many Fengyao Divine Crystals and Tianyan Divine Crystals, only two. It's not that I don't want to give them to you, but I really don't have them. I used them to refine a treasure some time ago." Ximen Yao said in a voice transmission.

"Two pieces are two pieces! Send someone to the Blue Sea Star in the Tianlan Star Region!" Shi Yue agreed.

After the deal was reached, the cultivators reached a unified caliber and announced to the outside world that Ximen Ren was attacked by the demons and died. If Ximen Ren was still alive, they could completely push it away, but it seems that Ximen Ren would not survive.

"The matter of sealing the entrance is handed over to Fellow Daoist Yang. I have something else to do, so I won't stay any longer." Shi Yue said goodbye and left.

Since Ximen Ren had been killed and the mission was completed, there was naturally no need to stay here any longer.

Ye Tianlong also said goodbye and left. Gongsun Qian, Ximen Yao, Situ Yue and others stayed to preside over the matters of sealing the entrance. This matter was not difficult.

Shi Yue and Ye Tianlong were relatively strong. No one would be dissatisfied if they left early.

······

A few days later, Ximen Ren was attacked by the demons when he went out, and the news of his death spread in the world of immortal cultivation. As soon as the news came out, many small forces were shocked and strengthened their vigilance and reduced their outings.

The five major immortal clans and the Immortal Grass Merchant Alliance used this as an excuse to send a large number of people to attack the territory controlled by the demons and eliminate many strongholds, with great results.

······

Tianlan Star Region, Blue Sea Star.

Shengxu Sect, a green escape light flew from the distant sky, flew into Shengxu Sect, and landed at the gate of Shengxu Palace.

The escape light was reduced, and Shi Yue's figure appeared.

Xiaoyaozi had been waiting in Shengxu Palace. Seeing Shi Yue return safely, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "You are finally back. Now that we have found the insider, it will be much easier to deal with the demons in the future."

"It's hard to say. The power of the demons is getting bigger and bigger, and it's hard to deal with them. I hope there is only Ximen Ren as the insider! If there are other insiders, it would be terrible." Shi Yue frowned.

Judging from Ximen Ren's various actions, Ximen Ren is the insider, but there are also doubts. Why did Ximen Ren surrender to the demons? Since he surrendered to the demons, why didn't he dare to admit it? So much evidence was in front of him, and Ximen Ren was given a chance to explain, but he couldn't explain it clearly.

"It shouldn't happen. Even if there is, it's at most a traitor in the fusion stage. No matter what, the five major immortals have no reason to surrender to the demons. Letting the demons dominate the cultivation world will not give them so many benefits." Xiaoyaozi disagreed.

"I hope so! You can go into seclusion with peace of mind. I also plan to practice in seclusion and strive to completely master the sword domain!" Shi Yue said in a deep voice.

Thirty-three Fengyan swords are already pseudo-immortal weapons. It is only a matter of time to upgrade the remaining three Fengyan swords to pseudo-immortal weapons. Shi Yue will spend time practicing the sword domain next. When he masters the sword domain, his strength will be further improved.

This battle has been delayed for too long. The next time he takes action, Shi Yue does not want to waste time with the demons. The demons have caused them a lot of trouble every time they start a war.

Xiaoyaozi nodded and said, "If you master the sword domain, and add the pseudo-immortal weapon, you won't have to flee even if you face Mo Yunzi and two monsters."

Last time, Shi Yue was beaten by two monsters controlled by Mo Yunzi and had no power to fight back. The next time they meet, Shi Yue will not flee like last time.

After chatting for a while, Xiaoyaozi said goodbye and left, returning to his residence to practice.

Shi Yue walked into the basement, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes.

Clang!

There was a dull sound of metal colliding, and a little spiritual light suddenly emerged in the void. After these spiritual lights blurred, they suddenly turned into flying swords of different shapes. Each flying sword was like a real entity, with sword light like rainbows and sword sounds.

······

A certain unknown immortal cultivation star, Ximen family.

In the meeting room, Ximen Yao sat on the main seat with an indifferent look.

Ximen Jie and others sat on both sides, looking nervous.

They never thought that Ximen Ren would collude with the demons. This news was too shocking.

"Who among you has betrayed the family? Why not stand up and make me angry to death at once." Ximen Yao said coldly.

Ximen Jie smiled and said quickly: "Old ancestor, you are joking."

"Joking? I'm not joking. Stand up early and make me, an old guy, angry to death. Let you take charge of the Ximen family early, so as not to hinder your bright future." Ximen Yao said bluntly.

Because of Ximen Ren's matter, she couldn't raise her head in front of Shi Yue and others. When she returned to the Ximen family, she naturally had to vent.

The Ximen family must be investigated strictly. If there is a Ximen Ren, there may be a second Ximen Ren.

"Our people are treated very badly? They have the skills, the elixirs, and the magic weapons, but they actually want to join the demon clan. I really don't know what they are thinking." Ximen Yao scolded without any politeness. She was so angry that she finally found a place to vent.

Everyone was submissive and dared not breathe. Everyone could see that Ximen Yao was angry. If you offend Ximen Yao at this time, you will naturally suffer.

"Immediately send someone to investigate, starting with you, and then thoroughly investigate the people who are close to Ximen Ren. I don't want our Ximen family to have a second Ximen Ren. Do you understand?" Ximen Yao's tone was cold.

The Ximen family already has a Ximen Ren. If there is another Ximen Ren, she will not be able to protect the reputation of the Ximen family. If the reputation is bad, it will not only affect the actual interests of the Ximen family, but also the status of the Ximen family.

Who believes that a force is clean when traitors appear again and again in a force?

Ximen Jie agreed and said, "Yes, Shigu, I will definitely send someone to investigate and find out the bad apples in the family."

After Ximen Ren's example, Ximen Jie, as the head of the family, could not escape the blame. Even if Ximen Yao did not say anything, he would order a strict investigation. If there were a few more Ximen Ren, it would be difficult for him to be the head of the family.

Everyone agreed, and they also understood the seriousness of the problem.

"In the future, if we find traces of the demons, we in the Ximen family must not be soft-hearted. We must kill as many demons as possible to prove our innocence." Ximen Yao ordered in a stern tone.

Ximen Ren fought with Shi Lang several times, but he did not kill Shi Lang. The children of the Ximen family must not let the demons go again. Instead, they must charge forward and fight against the demons to set an example for others.

"Yes, Shigu." Ximen Jie and others agreed in unison.

Ximen Yao took out a jade slip, handed it to Ximen Jie, and ordered: "Gather these materials and send them to them."

Ximen Jie scanned with his spiritual sense, frowning: "So many?"

"Humph, he did something wrong, we have to clean up his mess, otherwise do you think they will help cover up the news? They can't wait to see our jokes." Ximen Yao sneered.

"Got it, Tenth Aunt, I will gather these things as soon as possible and send someone to send them." Ximen Jie agreed.

······

Shenbing Star, Ye Family.

In the meeting hall, Ye Tianlong and dozens of other elders are meeting, and everyone's face is solemn.

"Important figures in the family must be tested with the Seven Star Xuanyang Mirror. Anyone with abnormalities will never be forgiven." Ye Tianlong said coldly.

The Seven Star Xuanyang Mirror is a treasure of the Ye family, mainly used to test whether the cultivator is lying.

The Ximen family has a Ximen Ren, and it is hard to guarantee that the Ye family will not have Ye Ren. For the sake of caution, Ye Tianlong must check himself.

"Yes, ancestor." Ye Lijiao and others agreed in unison.

······

Almost at the same time, the five major immortal clans and the Immortal Grass Merchant Alliance conducted self-inspections, and found some undercovers from the demon clan. Fortunately, their positions were not high, and the highest was only a cultivator of the Refining Void.

The major forces secretly dealt with these traitors, strengthened their defenses, and sent people to attack the demon clan's territory and destroy a large number of demon clan's strongholds.

······

Time flies, and a hundred years have passed quickly.

Tianxu Star Region, Blue Sea Star.

Shengxu Sect, Shengxu Palace, a secret room.

Shi Yue sat cross-legged on a cushion, with countless flying swords of different shapes floating above his head. Each flying sword was shining with spiritual light, like a physical entity, and from time to time, there were bursts of clear and loud sword sounds.

After a while, Shi Yue suddenly opened his eyes, and the whole person was like an extremely sharp flying sword, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

The sword sound was loud, and all the flying swords seemed to be guided by something, flying towards Shi Yue's head, quickly condensing into a giant sword that could hold up the sky, exuding a breath of destruction.

Shi Yue made a single move with one hand, and the giant sword that could hold up the sky flew into his hand. With a slight shake, a dazzling sword light swept out and chopped on the stone wall.

A loud rumbling sound!

The violent shaking of the stone room and the abnormality of the Shengxu Palace attracted the attention of many cultivators, and they all flew towards the Shengxu Palace.

"Nothing, you can retreat!" Shi Yue's voice rang out, and the cultivators retreated one after another.

In the stone room, Shi Yue showed a satisfied expression on his face. With a thought, the giant sword disappeared.

After a hundred years of hard training, he became more proficient in the sword domain and his power was greater, but he still could not completely master the sword domain.

Shi Yue entered the palm space, and with a thought, he suddenly appeared near the Bodhi fruit tree.

Song Yunxiao sat cross-legged under the Bodhi fruit tree, his eyes slightly closed, and a layer of soft spiritual light covered his body.

After a while, Song Yunxiao opened his eyes, his face full of frustration.

Seeing Shi Yue, Song Yunxiao hurriedly stood up and said respectfully: "Disciple greets the master."

"How is it, how is the spiritual domain training?" Shi Yue flew down and asked.

Looking at Song Yunxiao's expression, it is clear that he has not understood it.

"Disciple is stupid, I feel it is obscure and difficult to understand, and I have not gained much. I clearly feel that it is right in front of me, but I can't learn anything." Song Yunxiao said a little frustrated.

Since he became Shi Yue's apprentice, everything went smoothly. He became famous at a young age. Song Yunxiao was humble in his words, but he was still very proud in his heart.

Shi Yue gave him the cultivation method of the spiritual realm, but he didn't take it seriously. He thought he could definitely master the spiritual realm. After years of hard practice, he didn't even master the basics, which was a big blow to him.

The spiritual realm has little to do with personal aptitude, but it has something to do with personal comprehension. Good aptitude may not necessarily master the spiritual realm, and poor aptitude may not necessarily fail to master the spiritual realm.

"Don't be too depressed. Even the Mahayana cultivators of the five major immortal clans may not be able to master the spiritual realm after thousands of years of comprehension. It's normal that you can't learn anything." Shi Yue comforted.

The five major immortal clans are not short of people with good aptitude. If it was so easy to master some basics, the five major immortal clans would have made public the cultivation method of the spiritual realm for their clansmen to comprehend, and they would have cultivated a group of clansmen who mastered the spiritual realm.

Song Yunxiao nodded with a wry smile. He suddenly remembered something and asked curiously, "Master, have you mastered the spirit realm?"

"Not quite there yet." Shi Yue said calmly.

He pinched his sword formula, and a muffled "buzzing" sound came from the nearby void. Countless spiritual lights emerged and suddenly turned into flying swords of different shapes. Each flying sword was like a physical entity, emitting clear and loud sword sounds, and the swords were fighting.

Seeing this scene, Song Yunxiao was surprised and showed an envious expression on his face.
