Chapter 282.2
Appearance (2)
After Tang Fei went up the mountain, he first went to the Ziqing Holy Lord’s residence.
The Ziqing Holy Lord’s residence is located in the back mountain, with a quiet environment, beautiful mountains and clear waters, and abundant spiritual energy. It is indeed an excellent place for cultivation. But to Tang Fei, the significance of this place is not whether it is suitable for cultivation, but that it was once the place where his master taught him and Murong Pianpian to cultivate.
In this place, he gathered many good memories of the Ziqing Holy Lord.
Since Ziqing Saint Lord “announced” that he would enter seclusion three years ago, this residence has been closed. Tang Fei wanted to come in several times but was blocked by the Great Elder’s people. He did not know why, and the Great Elder had never entered in the past three years. Everything in the residence is the same as it was three years ago, but the surface of many things has been covered with a thin layer of dust.
Tang Fei looked away from one thing expressionlessly and turned to another thing. From time to time, he would reach out and touch it, leaving shallow fingerprints on the dust.
Beside him, Murong Pianpian was also silent. She just leaned gently beside Tang Fei, watching these once extremely familiar things together with Tang Fei.
It’s just that things are different and people are different. The things are still there, but people can no longer be seen.
After a long time, the voice of the Second Elder suddenly came from outside the door, “Holy son Tang, holy maiden Murong, all the disciples of Sacred Land have gathered in the square. Please tell me what orders you have next, holy son and holy maiden.”
The Second Elder didn’t think he was Tang Fei’s subordinate, but now the two sides were on the same front, so at least, they had to work hard on the surface. The gesture he is showing now is to tell everyone in the Ziqing Sacred Land that he is now with Tang Fei.So if they want to deal with him, they have to deal with Tang Fei first.
Tang Fei naturally understood what the Second Elder was thinking. He patted Murong Pianpian’s shoulder lightly, and said softly, “Junior sister, we can avenge our master today.”
Murong nodded lightly, a trace of murderous intent flashed undetectably in his eyes.
When Tang Fei and Murong Pianpian came to the square, all the disciples of the Ziqing Sacred Land had already gathered there. Tang Fei slowly glanced over the faces of these disciples one by one, and by their expressions, he could basically tell which camp they belonged to.
Overall, there are three camps.
The first camp is the lineage of the Great Elder. Under the three-year management of the Great Elder, although the number of disciples of the Great Elder is small and their strength is only in the middle, they hold many important positions in the Ziqing Sacred Land. They looked at Tang Fei with disdain and a murderous look on their faces. Obviously, they didn’t want the former holy son to come back.
The second camp is Tang Fei’s camp. When Tang Fei was still the holy son, he had established a high prestige among the younger generation of disciples by virtue of his own ability and personal charm. All the disciples with higher qualifications and more hardworking efforts basically worshiped under the holy son. Although they didn’t clearly express their own position, they were indeed Tang Fei’s basic force. They are the famous “young faction” of the Ziqing Sacred Land, and they are also the best hope for the future development of the Ziqing Sacred Land.
During the period when Tang Fei lost power, Tang Fei deliberately distanced himself from them in order to protect them. The vast majority of them chose to be neutral in this internal struggle because they looked down on the three major elder factions at the same time. Now, even though the strength of the three elders has been damaged, they still retain their previous strength. They still looked at Tang Fei with admiration, as if they were expecting this holy son to lead them to rejuvenate the Ziqing Sacred Land.
The third camp is the neutral camp. Although there are many factions in the Ziqing Sacred Land, most of the factions are actually spontaneously combined for self-protection. They don’t care much about who is in charge of Ziqing Sacred Land. Anyway, they are not interested in power, and they will support whoever is in power. Although in this way, they have given up the core of power, they have also successfully avoided the vortex of struggle.
They looked at Tang Fei with calm eyes, as if they were looking at a stranger. Perhaps to them, it doesn’t matter who the person standing in that position is.
Tang Fei withdrew his gaze and said loudly, “Senior brothers and sisters, junior brothers and sisters, I, Tang Fei, is the holy son of Ziqing Sacred Land. And I have something very important to announce when I return this time!”
Having said that, Tang Fei paused for a moment, seeing that everyone’s eyes became serious, and then he said slowly, “As Ziqing Sacred Land’s Holy Lord, my master has devoted himself to the Ziqing Sacred Land all these years, doing his best, almost never having a moment of leisure. But in our Sacred Land, there are people who have evil intentions against my master, and even poisoned him! My poor master lived a bright and upright life, and finally died at the hands of a villain!”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone’s expressions changed.
For the vast majority of people in the entire Ziqing Sacred Land, the poisoning of the Holy Lord in Ziqing is still just a rumor. Very few people believe it, and more people think it is purely a rumor. But at this time, Tang Fei said this matter, which is equivalent to confirming the rumor!
The disciples of Ziqing Sacred Land each looked different. Some were terrified, some were angry, some were frightened, some were sad, and some were shouting, “Who? Who poisoned the Holy Lord?!”
Tang Fei raised his hand and pressed it falsely, motioning for everyone to be quiet. After calm returned to the square, Tang Fei glanced over everyone one by one, and finally stopped on a person with a slightly satisfied expression.
He raised his hand, pointed at that person, and said loudly, “The one who poisoned and murdered my master, the Ziqing Holy Lord, is none other than you, Second Elder!”
