Tonight, the Qingyun Sect was destined to be anything but peaceful.
"Clang--"
Many Qingyun disciples, deep in their sleep, heard a crisp sword cry in the depths of their minds.
Immediately after.
They saw a terrifying azure blue sword light slash across the sky.
Looking ahead.
The entire night sky was illuminated by this sword light.
The terrifying sword intent tore through the sky dome, the blue light like lightning, the aura like a rainbow, the entire night sky seemed to have been split open by a sword, a long sword mark spread over a hundred meters, shocking everyone around.
"Dong--"
A melodious bell chime resounded through the Seven Peaks.
In an instant, Several sword lights shot up from each peak towards the direction of Heaven-Reaching Peak's Yuqing Hall.
At this moment.
Countless Qingyun disciples were speculating about what had happened.
Great Bamboo Peak, the back mountain.
Ye Changfeng, as the prime culprit.
He was no longer paying attention to the Demonic Sect's invasion of the Qingyun Sect. After all, the sword strike he unleashed earlier was specifically meant to warn the Qingyun Sect.
Now, The Qingyun Sect had completely exploded.
He figured the Demonic Sect wouldn't dare to continue causing trouble.
Ye Changfeng returned to his small courtyard.
He lay silently on the rocking chair.
He fell into thought.
Regarding this assassination operation by the Demonic Cult infiltrating Qingyun Sect in secret, he could roughly guess the reason. He figured the Demonic Cult must be scared. They saw the future of the Demonic Cult from the information exposed by the Heavenly Curtain, and thus decided to take a desperate risk.
As for how the Demonic Cult managed to bypass Qingyun Sect's defenses?
And infiltrate the various peaks without a sound?
Ye Changfeng could also guess the reason.
Don't forget—
There was a traitor within Qingyun Sect.
Cangsong Daoist, as a trusted confidant of the Sect Leader True Lord Daoxuan, not only held the disciplinary power of Qingyun Sect but was also responsible for deploying the entire defense force of Qingyun Sect.
With such an inside contact present.
It was simply too easy for the Demonic Cult to infiltrate Qingyun Sect without a sound.
"Cangsong..."
Ye Changfeng's eyes flickered slightly.
A strong Killing Intent surged faintly in the depths of his eyes.
Cangsong was indeed a pitiable person.
But, What did that have to do with him?
Pitiable people must have hateful aspects!
The current Ye Changfeng couldn't manage others; he only wanted to manage the people and matters around him.
Ye Changfeng always had a bottom line in his heart.
That was his friends and family around him.
If he hadn't been there today...
Some of the Senior Brothers on Great Bamboo Peak might have died in the assassination by the Demonic Cult Assassins. This had already touched Ye Changfeng's inverse scale...
Not to mention.
Lu Xueqi had almost died tonight.
This was what made him the most furious.
"Buzz buzz buzz--"
A dense killing intent flickered in Ye Changfeng's eyes.
Terrifying sword intent gradually spread from his body. A large swathe of the surrounding bamboo forest was affected, sharp winds sweeping through the nearby bamboo sea, but it soon fell silent again...
Just then.
Ye Changfeng paused slightly.
He seemed to have sensed something, slowly straightened his body, and his sharp gaze turned towards the depths of the bamboo forest, saying in a faint tone:
"May I ask which senior is gracing us with their presence?"
"Could you please reveal yourself?"
As soon as the words fell.
There was a slight stir from the depths of the bamboo forest.
An elder in coarse clothes slowly walked out. His body was somewhat gaunt, and a faint sword intent emerged in his cloudy eyes. He looked at the young man before him with interest:
"Such terrifying killing intent?"
"I'm curious who you are targeting?"
Ye Changfeng raised an eyebrow slightly.
He looked at the elder in coarse clothes before him, glanced at the 'unyielding' sword intent emanating from him, and the almost imperceptible Tai Chi True Intent, and immediately understood his true identity.
After all, Within the Qingyun Sect, there was no sword cultivator who could be compared to Ye Changfeng.
Besides Wan Jianyi of the Ancestor Shrine.
There was no one else.
Ye Changfeng's vigilance gradually relaxed. He casually gestured forward and said:
"Please, sit, senior."
Wan Jianyi did not stand on ceremony.
He walked directly into the small courtyard and took a seat.
Then, he said with some emotion, "I never expected that the future Number One Sword Immortal Under Heaven would be just an ordinary disciple of Great Bamboo Peak!?"
"Does Tian Buyi know he has a disciple like you?"
Ye Changfeng shook his head slightly and said:
"Master doesn't know."
"Then why did you choose to hide your strength?"
Wan Jianyi asked curiously.
Ye Changfeng pondered: "Originally, I planned to tell Master, but with the Heavenly Curtain's exposure, I thought about it and decided against it."
"After all."
"I hate trouble."
Wan Jianyi nodded slightly.
On his way here, he had already understood what had happened within the Qingyun Sect. He hadn't expected Demonic Cult Fiends to dare to sneak into the Seven Peaks for assassination?!
Truly audacious!
"Given the current situation, it is indeed not suitable for you to reveal your identity."
Wan Jianyi nodded.
If Ye Changfeng revealed his identity now? He would likely face endless assassination attempts from the Demonic Cult!
Of course.
Ye Changfeng did not fear so-called assassination.
But...
He hated trouble.
"You still haven't answered my previous question."
"Why did you reveal such intense Killing Intent?"
Wan Jianyi asked curiously.
Hearing this.
Ye Changfeng frowned.
He said faintly: "There is a traitor within the Qingyun Sect."
"What!?"
Wan Jianyi was stunned.
He clearly hadn't expected Ye Changfeng to say that.
"Do you have proof?"
"The Demonic Cult's assassination tonight is the greatest proof!"
Ye Changfeng said indifferently, "While the defenses of the Qingyun Sect's Seven Peaks aren't considered extremely strict, they shouldn't have so many loopholes that numerous Demonic Cult Assassins could infiltrate silently, unless..."
"Someone tipped them off from within."
Hearing this.
Wan Jianyi fell silent.
Although he had been confined to the Ancestor Shrine for three hundred years.
He wasn't a fool.
After Ye Changfeng's words.
It was likely there really was a spy within the Qingyun Sect.
"Do you have any suspects?"
Wan Jianyi inquired.
Hearing this.
Ye Changfeng said without hesitation, "Cangsong!"
The other party held the disciplinary authority of the Qingyun Sect and also controlled its defense forces. It was reasonable to suspect him at this moment.
Wan Jianyi frowned slightly.
After hearing the name 'Cangsong', he seemed to want to retort, but...
He ultimately didn't say anything.
Forget it, forget it.
He was just a 'dead man'.
These matters should be left to the Qingyun Sect's Sect Leader to handle.
Wan Jianyi shook his head slightly.
He sighed with a lack of interest and was about to get up and leave.
After all.
He left the Ancestor Shrine this time.
He wanted to see what kind of demeanor the future 'Number One Sword Immortal Under Heaven' possessed.
Now that he had seen it.
It was time to leave.
Wan Jianyi stood up, preparing to leave. He looked back at Ye Changfeng halfway, asking in surprise, "Aren't you curious about my identity?"
Ye Changfeng raised an eyebrow slightly.
He said casually, "Isn't your identity already quite obvious, Senior?"
"Oh?"
"Within the Qingyun Sect, it seems difficult to find a third pure sword cultivator like me. Wouldn't you agree..."
"Martial Uncle Wan."
Hearing this.
Wan Jianyi's body trembled slightly.
"A pure sword cultivator?"
"Heh--"
"Interesting."
The Elder in coarse clothes lowered his head and chuckled softly.
He then turned to leave.
However, Just then.
A free and easy voice sounded from behind.
"Please help me keep my identity a secret, Martial Uncle Wan. Don't reveal it..."
"Hmm?"
