Chapter 361 I'll Go
Yun Chen's expression couldn't help but change.
Stealing secret books a hundred years ago?
Could it be related to the great secular war that took place a hundred years ago?
After a brief pause, Yun Chen slowly spoke, "The Japanese have always been ambitious. Since Elder Lei said they stole the Taoist secret manual a hundred years ago, could they be coming here to do the same..."
"impossible!"
Before Yun Chen could finish speaking, Elder Lei waved his hand to interrupt Yun Chen's thoughts.
"The great war a hundred years ago had already crippled them. Although they have made moves over the years, they are all under the surveillance of our Dao Alliance. They don't have the courage to do so."
"Daomeng?"
Yun Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Murong Xue explained, "The Dao Alliance is an alliance of the Great Xia Dao Sect, including the South Sea Dao Sect. However, the South Sea Dao Sect has been indifferent to worldly affairs in recent years, so the Dao Alliance is composed of the three Dao Sects of the East Continent: the Divine Thunder Palace, the Jade Void Palace, and the Great Void Palace..."
"So, all these years... the Taoist Alliance has been monitoring Japan?" Yun Chen couldn't help but feel curious.
Murong Xue nodded.
"That's strange. Since they are under surveillance, how did the Japanese monks get in?" Yun Chen asked in confusion.
This one sentence instantly shocked everyone present.
"This……"
Elder Lei opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.
Others also looked at each other.
Lei Miaoyun frowned and glanced at Yun Chen: "Are you saying... there is a traitor in the Dao Alliance?"
"This is impossible?" Elder Lei asked subconsciously.
Lei Miaoyun waved his hand and said, "Nothing is impossible. The Dao League is composed of people from three Daoist sects. It has a complex personnel structure, so it's normal for a mole to appear."
"But if there really is a traitor, how can we investigate? Our family's opinion on this matter doesn't count."
Elder Liu sighed.
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.
I originally thought I was just investigating a Japanese monk, but it ended up involving a traitor.
The Taoist Alliance is jointly governed by the three major Taoist sects. If they really want to investigate, they must discuss it with the other two leaders. But will they agree to this?
Who would admit that there is a traitor among his disciples?
"Actually, it's not difficult to find the traitor, and there's no need to alert anyone."
At this moment, Yun Chen spoke at the right time.
After he finished speaking, everyone turned their eyes to him again.
"What do you mean?" asked Elder Lei.
Yun Chen smiled slightly and told his plan.
As soon as the words fell, the whole audience fell silent, and everyone looked at Yun Chen with astonishment.
"Is this okay?"
"Why don't you try it and see if it works?" Yun Chen smiled.
Lei Miaoyun pondered for a moment, looked at Yun Chen with burning eyes, and said slowly: "Although your plan is a bit risky, it is still a feasible method."
Yun Chen nodded and smiled slightly.
Elder Lei still looked worried: "But if the news leaks out, not only will we be unable to find the traitor, but we might also alert the enemy..."
"No, it doesn't matter even if we alert the enemy. What's important is that we have to find out what the little ghost... Japan is going to do." Yun Chen's voice unconsciously lowered.
This is a hatred that is engraved in my bones. Despite my best efforts to restrain myself, I still cannot hide the disgust and hatred I feel towards the Japanese people in my heart.
"Okay, let's do as Yun Chen said. Xue'er will go there personally."
Lei Miaoyun made the decision and then turned his gaze to Murong Xue beside him.
"Remember, protect yourself. If necessary, reveal your identity. Be sure to resolve any potential risks before the qualifying round."
"Yes! Disciple understands."
Murong Xue nodded, then immediately took the order and left.
Yun Chen originally wanted to say that he went.
In this way, he could temporarily leave the Divine Thunder Palace and find an opportunity to contact Lin Wan'er to ask about the news of the Gu family father and son.
That bastard Gu Hong has the key to the passage. As long as he's not dead, he'll always feel uneasy.
But since Lei Miaoyun arranged for Murong Xue to go, he couldn't say anything.
"Although the internal traitor issue has been resolved, we cannot let our guard down on the Japanese monks either."
Seeing Murong Xue leave, Lei Miaoyun continued, "The Japanese are insidious and cunning. They won't act without a purpose. This matter still needs to be investigated. Elder Lei, you should handle this matter."
"Ah I?"
Elder Lei's mouth twitched.
"Is there any problem?" Lei Miaoyun looked at him strangely.
Elder Lei's face flushed, and he couldn't help but say, "The qualifying competition is coming soon, and the disciples' training..."
Although the ranking competition is to determine the proportion of Taoist resources distribution, disciples who compete for a place in the ranking competition can also receive rewards from the Taoist Alliance.
Therefore, these elders have been working hard to help the disciples in their sect practice recently.
For example, when Zifeng asked for the Foundation Establishment Pill for his sister, it was Elder Lei who personally approached him.
After all, if the disciples are rewarded for their improved abilities, it will also bring honor to me.
Similarly, receiving rewards not only improved his strength, but also indirectly enhanced his status as a master within the sect.
Lei Miaoyun's pretty face instantly darkened when she heard this.
"It's already this late, and you're still concerned about your disciples' cultivation..."
Elder Lei smiled awkwardly.
"Master, why don't you ask me to go over this matter?"
At this time, Yun Chen suddenly walked out and spoke.
"you?"
Lei Miaoyun turned and looked over.
Yun Chen nodded: "Since I have joined the Divine Thunder Palace, it is my duty to contribute to the sect. Moreover, I have received many favors from the sect in the past few days, so I should repay them."
Lei Miaoyun stared at Yun Chen for a moment, seemingly seeing through the extra thoughts in his eyes, but she didn't point it out. She just nodded slowly: "Okay, you are a meticulous person, I am confident in leaving this matter to you. But remember, the first priority is to investigate the purpose of the Shadow Snake Group. You can investigate the matter of the Gu family father and son at the same time. Don't let personal matters sacrifice public interests."
Yun Chen's heart trembled. He had not expected that Lei Miaoyun had already seen through his thoughts. He immediately bowed and replied, "Disciple understands."
Lei Miaoyun raised his hand and waved, and a green jade slip fell into Yun Chen's hand. "This is the Divine Thunder Palace's secret code for contact outside. In case of emergency, you can crush it to send a message. Also, don't delay the qualifying competition, and don't forget what you promised me."
"Yes." Yun Chen took the jade slip and felt a cool touch on his fingertips.
He didn't expect that Lei Miaoyun would actually agree to him, and his expression couldn't help but reveal gratitude.
Lei Miaoyun looked at him, thought for a moment, and then said, "I asked the head of Taixu Palace about the Gu family father and son. He said that he had killed them. But I'm not sure if this is true or not. You should be more careful and don't be deceived by women."
She was referring to Lin Wan'er, but Yun Chen didn't think much of it and bowed gratefully: "Yes, disciple will remember it."
Lei Miaoyun had promised me before, and it seemed that it was not an excuse, but she really took it to heart, otherwise she would not have asked.
But it seems that no results were obtained.
I have to check this matter myself.
"You are quite grateful, kid!"
Upon seeing this, Elder Lei immediately walked towards Yun Chen with a smile.
As he spoke, he took out a training manual from his pocket and handed it to Yun Chen.
"I didn't prepare any gifts for you before. This cultivation manual contains some of my cultivation experience. Take it...it might be useful to you."
Yun Chen rolled his eyes when he heard this. Why haven’t I seen you so attentive before?
If I hadn't agreed to this mission on your behalf, you would probably still ignore me, right?
Although he complained in his heart, he still bowed politely and said, "Thank you, Elder Lei."
Yun Chen took the training manual, exchanged a few polite words with Elder Lei, then turned around and said goodbye.
