Hongmeng Emperor Zun

Chapter 88 Water and Fire Taoist
tick...tick...

There was a light rain on Yulan Peak, and the rain dripped from the eaves of the other courtyard on the top of the mountain, splashing crystal water on the bluestone floor.

Looking at the small courtyard filled with water mist, Feng Qing sighed unconsciously. Although two days had passed since the attack, the entire Yulan Peak was still shrouded in grief.

After a preliminary count, in this attack, a total of seventeen instructors of Yulan Academy were killed, and another fifteen instructors were seriously injured. Among them, three instructors lost their Dao roots and became completely useless.

The inner sect disciples suffered heavy casualties, more than 600 people were killed in the battle alone, and more than [-] people were injured, half of the injured were broken by the blood demon magic weapon, and they had no chance of practicing since then.The casualties of the named disciples were greater than those of the inner disciples, and it was precisely because the casualties of the named disciples were too great that the casualties had not been counted until now.

Just when Feng Qing was sad in silence, Cai Liu, dressed in plain clothes, walked into the yard respectfully, came to Feng Qing and asked, "Teacher, the funeral is about to start, will you go?"

In most cases, when a cultivator dies, he will not make a fuss, at most it will be a memorial ceremony for a few close friends.But this time the situation is different. These dead died in battle for the honor and dignity of the Star Academy, so it is understandable for the Star Academy to arrange funerals for them.

Feng Qing thought for a while, and felt that she was also a member of the Star School, and it was still necessary to attend the funeral, so she nodded to Cai Liu: "Let's go, let's go and see!"

After walking out of the other courtyard on the top of the mountain, Feng Qing stared at the flickering soul-calling lamps floating in the sky, and lost her mind in a daze.

Seeing Fengqing stop suddenly, Cailiu asked suspiciously, "Teacher, what's wrong with you?"

"I still won't go, go by yourself!" Feng Qing shook her head, turned and returned to the other courtyard.

Looking at Fengqing who hurried back to the other courtyard, Cailiu secretly wondered: "Hey, what's wrong with Teacher?"

Back in the quiet room, Feng Qing punched the table heavily, smashing a good jade table into two pieces!
Just now when he saw the soul calling lamps floating in the sky, Feng Qing couldn't help flashing the scene when he first came to the Xingchen Academy, and the disciples of the Magnolia Academy lined up to welcome him.Even now, he can still clearly recall the admiration and longing on the faces of the disciples of Magnolia Academy at that time!And the clearer this memory is, the more guilty he will be!

It is precisely because of this guilt that Fengqing dare not go to the funeral!
Another two days passed in a flash. During this period, Immortal Changqing led the crowd back to Xingchen Academy and became busy with the aftermath. Fengqing went to visit Dong Jian once.

Speaking of Dong Jian, he was undoubtedly lucky. Although he was also injured by the blood demon magic weapon, the injuries were not critical, so he could fully recover after a few months of cultivation.

Feng Lingyin still stayed in the Magnolia Courtyard, but these few days he didn't pester Feng Qing, but stayed obediently in the guest room, not knowing what he was doing.

It was not until the sixth day after the attack that Cailiu came to the other courtyard on the top of the mountain in a hurry, and said to Fengqing: "Teacher, please go over there!"

Feng Qing didn't say anything, just nodded, and then walked slowly towards the ruins of the main hall of Yulan Courtyard.

Because the main hall of Magnolia Courtyard was completely destroyed when it was attacked, Immortal Changqing had no choice but to convene everyone to discuss the matter in the Enlightenment Hall not far from the main hall.Different from the last discussion, there were no enthusiastic Magnolia Court disciples outside the Enlightenment Hall at this time, but only a few registered disciples who were responsible for cleaning up the ruins.

After entering the Hall of Enlightenment, Feng Qing found an inconspicuous corner and sat down as before.Compared with the last discussion in the main hall, the number of instructors participating in the discussion this time was much smaller, there were only more than 60 people, and all of them had gloomy faces.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Immortal Changqing who was sitting at the top said: "Everyone, our Star Academy suffered heavy losses in this attack. As the head of the Yulan Academy, I bear an inescapable responsibility!"

Taoist Water and Fire, the deputy head of the courtyard, quickly got up and said, "I have the great trust of the courtyard!"

Immortal Changqing waved his hand at Taoist Shuihuo, motioning him to sit down first, and then continued: "After investigation, the two evil sects that participated in the attack this time were Ghost King Cave and Wuya Ridge. They dispatched a total of five immortals. It is the Poison Wu Immortal of Ghost King Cave, the ancestor of Zhu Ha, the ancestor of Guilin, and the soul-hungry old demon and the fox-bewitching demon of Wuya Ridge. In our academy, there is only one immortal, Luliu Immortal, who was attacked by the other party. There is nothing you can do about the mountain gate, so those who stayed behind, don't blame yourself too much!"

Taoist Shuihuo let out a long sigh: "The disciples in the sect suffered heavy casualties, how can we not blame ourselves!"

At this time, a wounded instructor stood up and said, "Headmaster, I, Duan, have something to say in my heart, so I can't vomit it!"

Immortal Changqing said: "Duan Jiaoxi has something to say!"

Duan Jiaoxi looked around the hall with a cold face, and then said: "Duan suspects that there is a spy from the Ghost King Cave in our Magnolia Courtyard, and this spy is probably in this hall!"

As soon as Duan Jiaoxi finished speaking, the hall became noisy. Some people echoed, some remained silent, and some even sized up their classmates sitting beside them with hostile eyes.

"Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient!" After lightly raising his hands, Immortal Changqing asked Duan Jiaoxi: "Can Duan Jiaoxi prove it?"

Duan Jiaoxi shook his head: "If there is evidence, Duan would have cut him to pieces!"

Immortal Changqing said: "There is no evidence, let's discuss the spies later!"

Taoist Shuihuo stood up suddenly: "Headmaster, I also don't understand something!"

Immortal Changqing asked, "What is there that you don't know?"

Taoist Shuihuo asked: "Dare to ask, did the head of the academy entrust Fengjiao Xi to guard the hall before leaving?"

Immortal Changqing nodded slightly.

Taoist Shuihuo cast a slanted glance at Fengqing, and asked loudly in front of everyone in the hall, "Why didn't Feng Jiaoxi come to the hall to defend against the enemy during the battle that day?"

Feng Qing wanted to stand up and explain, but just as he was about to get up, the word 'water' that Wuyaling disciple who died of tongue gu, said before his death suddenly flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought, : "Could it be that the disciple of Wuya Ridge is talking about Taoist Master Water and Fire?!"

Seeing that Fengqing didn't explain immediately, Duan Jiaoxi also questioned: "Duan ran all over the mountain that day, but he didn't meet Feng Jiaoxi. I don't know what Feng Jiaoxi was doing at that time?"

Taoist Shuihuo took the opportunity to say: "The eyes of the six mountain guard formations on my Yulan Peak were destroyed before the attack, and the six instructors and hundreds of disciples guarding the formation were all killed. If it weren't for this, our Yulan How could the academy be hurt so badly? Hmph, there must be spies leaking out the eyes of the six mountain guard formations!"

Hearing what Taoist Shuihuo said, everyone's eyes fell on Fengqing...
