I don’t know how Wang Chaoming did it. Although the rumors within the Iron Crown Sect were not eradicated, their voices did become much quieter.
Three days later, Yang Ji finally received the summons from the elder. This time there were no tricks.
In a grand hall on the top of the mountain, with golden lamps and majestic breasts, an elder with a white beard sat at the top, looking majestic and meticulous.
"Yang Ji has met Elder Xing!"

Yang Ji stepped forward and saluted, and said in a loud voice.
"I didn't expect them to guess right."
A flash of lightning flashed in Yang Ji's mind, and he thought of Luo Yunzi and the others. Although Luo Yunzi had deceived him in the name of an elder, one thing they had guessed correctly was that the person they met this time was indeed "Elder Xing."
There was silence in the main hall. Elder Xing sat upright and his eyelids moved. In an instant, it was as if a bolt of lightning passed through the main hall, and then the silence quickly returned.
"Yang Ji, do you know why it was me who saw you instead of Elder Qiu?"
Elder Xing's lips moved slightly, and the whole hall suddenly made a thunderous sound.
"Disciple doesn't know, please ask the elder to make it clear."
Yang Jigong said.
"You really don't know?"
Elder Xing raised his eyelids, and a perceptive light burst out from his eyes. The sharp light seemed to see into Yang Ji's heart, clearly seeing all his internal organs.
Yang Ji felt a chill in his heart and immediately said:
"Disciple just returned to the mountain. I seem to have heard that Elder Qiu went to Wanfenling. But I don't know the details."
Elder Xing stared at Yang Ji motionless for a long time before his sharp eyes slowly softened.
"You do know something. Bucuo, Elder Qiu did go out. However, this is not the main reason."
Elder Xing withdrew his gaze and said calmly:
"You narrowly escaped death and came back from Langya City. The sect should have given you a reward. However, you should not have done anything wrong. You behaved badly and summoned other sects to bring trouble to the sect."
"coming!"
Yang Ji was shocked and immediately remembered the warning that Zhao Hua and others had given him before: "No wonder I haven't been summoned for so long. It turns out it's really because of the Iron Sword Sect."
Thinking that Song Li and others not only attacked him, but also beat him to death, Yang Ji felt filled with anger.
"Elder, the Iron Sword Sect has evil intentions and has never dealt with us. They are always in trouble with us in Langya City. How can such a sect win the trust?!"
Yang Ji said in a deep voice.
"Iron Sword Sect?"
Elder Xing was startled for a moment, then sneered: "Do you think it was Song Li who filed the complaint? I'm not that old and confused to believe their words."
"ah?"
Yang Ji was shocked, raised his head suddenly, and endured the surprise: "Isn't it Song Li?"
Yang Ji was really surprised at this time. He had always thought that Elder Xing was talking about Song Li. With the temperament of the Iron Sword Sect, he could do such a thing.
"If it was the Iron Sword Sect, do you think we would summon you now?"
Elder Xing threw his hand and said, "See for yourself."
Snapped!
On the grid-like floor tiles, a thin dark red greeting card fell with a bang. Yang Ji picked up the greeting card in surprise, looked down at it, and scanned the gray-brown mountain mark on the greeting card.
, and immediately his whole body was shaken, as if he was hit by a bolt of lightning from the sky:
"Beishan faction?!"
Yang Ji was completely stunned. Even if Fang Bai came back to life and appeared in front of him, accusing him of colluding with evil, Yang Ji would not be so shocked.
He had imagined the Iron Sword Sect and Song Li. But he never expected that it would be the Beishan Sect who would sue him through the sect's senior officials.
The people of the Beishan Sect did not even move. These people harbored evil intentions and joined forces with the Iron Sword Sect to assassinate themselves and the Black Sword Sect. In the end, they were killed by Song Li and others.
Instead of blaming Song Li and others and negotiating with the Iron Sword Sect, these sects came to accuse themselves. It is simply unreasonable.
"People from the Beishan faction said that the disciples they sent to Langya City to participate in the conscription mission were killed by you. Their elders have jointly sent a greeting letter to negotiate the matter. We, the Iron Crown Sect, already have an old enemy, and now we have to add Beishan to the list.
Pai. Tell him, should I reward you? Or should I punish you?"
Elder Xing had a gloomy face. The golden lights on the wall swayed, and the shadows cast by them fell on his face, changing in varying degrees.
"Buzz!"
Yang Ji's heart sank, and he felt a chill in his heart. After taking such a big risk, he didn't expect that not only was there no success, but there was a failure.
However, despite feeling chilled, Yang Ji felt a huge anger surge in his heart:
"Elder, we definitely did not kill the people of the Beishan Sect. This matter is an unfounded crime."
"Unfounded charges?"
Elder Xing snorted:
"This matter has been testified by Song Li, a disciple of the Iron Sword Sect. Moreover, someone saw you approaching the Beishan Sect's Beihai Giant at the inn. The Beishan Sect's man died, and the North Sea Giant did not return to the Beishan Sect, but stayed alone.
A man ran away. This is not a thief with a guilty conscience."
"Rumors have been spread now. It is said that the North Sea giant was bewitched by you, cooperated with you inside and outside, and killed Luo Yong and other disciples of the Beishan Sect. There are both human and physical evidence, how are you going to tell the truth?"
The first few sentences were just a matter-of-fact discussion, but the last sentence contained a bit of blood and power, and the cold voice shook the entire hall.
"Elder, this is absolutely not the case."
At this time, Yang Ji had fully understood that Song Li killed the Beishan sect people, but instead induced the Beishan sect people to slander him and pour dirty water on himself.
Recalling that when he returned to Langya City, the Iron Sword sect had disappeared, Yang Ji finally understood why they had returned to the sect in such a hurry.
Although angry, Yang Ji calmed down more and more. He understood deeply that this time, let alone a reward, whether he could protect himself or not was a matter of fact.
Anger is useless at this time, only calmness can help you.
"...This matter is completely groundless and groundless accusation. Once the Beihai giant surrenders, he will be loyal. Not to mention that he will remain loyal until death, at least he will never take action against the people of the Beishan sect. And the Beishan sect does not have much friendship with us.
.I only had a few chats with the North Sea giants, and they gave me a serious warning."
"When these people see us, they can't beat us. Even if they run away, they can escape. How can they die in our hands? The only person who can kill Luo Yong is to leave him defenseless.
"
"The Iron Sword Sect said that we killed Luo Yong and others. In fact, not only were we the ones who killed the Beishan Sect, but it was Song Li of the Iron Sword Sect. Senior Brother Chen Zhu of the Black Sword Sect can also testify."
Yang Ji tilted his head slightly and said while thinking about what happened that day.
Elder Xing frowned and remained silent, no one knew what he was thinking.
"Is this serious?"
"Absolutely true!"
Yang Ji said seriously.
There was no expression on Elder Xing's face: "Tell me the ins and outs of this matter in detail."
Without any delay, Yang Ji immediately narrated the entire process of the conscription mission, starting from the encounter with evil masters disguised as Tianyin Sect members in the mountains and forests, to the final escape back to the Iron Crown Sect, omitting the "Great Confucianism" in the middle.
"Book" and "Xiao Abi Gong".
Even if Elder Xing hadn't asked about these matters, Yang Ji would have come back to report them. Chen Shi'en died, Jiang Jianqing died, Meng Shenji and Fang Bai were spies... Such a big thing must be reported to the clan.
Elder Xing was silent for a long time after hearing this. Yang Ji glanced secretly. He was not sure what he was thinking after hearing this.
"How do you fight evil spirits?"
Unexpectedly, Elder Xing actually asked an unrelated question.
Yang Ji was stunned, not knowing what was going on for a moment. Not many people saw him entering the evil spirit's body, but many people saw him coming out of the evil spirit's body.
This matter could not be hidden, after all, there were people from the imperial court present at the time.
"I'm not very clear about the specifics. At that time, I had a piece of writing and ink on my body. It seemed that the breath of writing and writing restrained the evil spirits and played a role."
Yang Ji thought about it.
That piece of "literary pen and ink" has long been lost in "The Book of Great Confucianism". There is no way to take it out. If Elder Xing inquires about this matter carefully, Yang Ji will not know what is going on. No matter how good the lie is, there will be flaws.
of.
However, the expected questioning did not appear. Elder Xing seemed to have known for a long time that the historian had given him the "Literary Saint's Pen and Ink".
"I see."
Elder Xing nodded slightly: "We already know about Chen Shien and Jiang Jianqing. We will arrange this matter properly. In addition, this thing is for you."
"Snapped!"
As Elder Xing said, he suddenly threw his palm and threw something like a key. The object fell on the ground and slid out a distance. It made a crisp metallic sound.
"What's this?"
Yang Ji picked up the key and looked surprised. The key was blue-black in color and as thick as his index finger. Yang Ji counted it and found that there were four in total.
"Haven't you always wanted to go to the Scripture Cave?"
Elder Xing glanced at Yang Ji: "This is the key to the Scripture Cave."
"ah?!"
Yang Ji was surprised at first, and then overjoyed. He quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, elder!"
The long-awaited qualification for the Sutra Cave was actually placed in front of him in such a way.
"No need to thank me. You deserve this. The four keys represent four hours. This is a special reward for the command mission. Other missions are usually only one hour. You have taken a lot of risks this time. I hope
You will continue to work diligently and contribute to the sect in the future."
Elder Xing said calmly.
"What about...the Beishan sect?"
Yang Ji tentatively said. Happiness came so quickly, and Yang Ji still felt a little uneasy.
"We have investigated this matter thoroughly. We have also informed the Beishan Sect as you said."
Elder Xing glanced at Yang Ji Yiji lightly: "...otherwise, why do you think we haven't summoned you in the past six days?"
"Thank you, elder!"
Yang Ji was overjoyed and finally understood. It was in vain that he had been worried for so long. It turned out that the sect had already investigated clearly.
"You don't need to be nervous. The sect will not wrong its disciples in vain. If the Iron Sword Sect didn't testify about this matter, we might still believe it. But the Iron Sword Sect is the one who testified..., even
We don’t even need to investigate, we know it wasn’t you. It’s a pity that the Beishan Sect’s disciples were killed and kept in the dark.”
Elder Xing shook his head as he spoke, and his stern face became much softer at this time.
"Elder, the Iron Sword Sect's intentions are too evil. Is it possible to tell the Beishan Sect the truth about the matter and let them deal with the Iron Sword Sect?"
Yang Ji got his wish, he felt a big stone in his heart, and immediately asked tentatively.
"It's impossible. The relationship between the Black Sword Sect and us is relatively close compared to other sects. How can we win trust in this matter? And if what is said is right, people from the Beishan Sect had sneak attacked Chen Zhu and others beforehand. Then what they said is even more
It’s unbelievable. There are too many things involved in this matter, so you don’t need to get involved.”
Elder Xing waved his hand and said.
"yes!"
Yang Ji accepted the offer, bowed respectfully, turned around and left. (To be continued...)
