"Daoists and Heavenly Sects are not as indifferent and detached from the secular world as the legends say.”Ji Yun muttered under his breath. He opened his right hand that was holding the scroll, and a purple-gold flame suddenly emerged from his palm. In a few breaths, the scroll was burned to ashes, leaving nothing behind. The self-mocking smile on Ji Yun's face turned into a bloodthirsty sneer.
That's good. If they really had no desire or hope, how could they provoke a war between them?
Great Si Ming and the other four looked at Ji Yun's cold smile and their hearts trembled. This kind of expression had never appeared on the young master's face before. What exactly did this secret report say?
Ji Yun saw their expressions and knew that they had misunderstood. However, there was no need to explain anything. He immediately regained his calm and said to Shadow, who was standing on the rightmost side and was covered in a black robe,"You'll take over this matter. Tell them not to worry about it. As long as you pay attention to Xiao Ling's every move, you must remember who he meets and what he says until he enters Rashengdo.”
An Ying nodded and said nothing. "Also, don't come out when you go back this time. You have full authority to take over the Shadow Guards.”Ji Yun pondered for a moment, then took out a dark red jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Shadow. "Two o'clock. First, expand the Shadow Guards. I want this net to cover the entire world. Secondly, I hope that the Shadow Guards will follow my orders and not the Yin-Yang School. You know what to do."
The Shadow Guards were a group of underlings that Donghuang Taiyi had given to Ji Yun. They were a small part of the intelligence network of the Yinyang School. However, even though he had handed them over to Ji Yun, how could it be that easy to truly control these men of sacrifice? Ji Yun had done a lot of work, but he had only managed to gain the loyalty of a small number of people. The remaining people were absolutely loyal to the Yin-Yang School, or East Emperor Taiyi. Ji Yun wanted to establish his own intelligence organization. How could he use such a person?
An Ying, who had received the jade pendant with both hands, heard Ji Yun's words, especially the killing intent hidden in the last sentence. His entire body trembled as he bowed to Ji Yun and said,"Yes, this servant will do as you say." The hoarse voice was like a torn cloth, making people tremble.
Ji Yun frowned, not because of Shadow's voice, but because of his words. Looking at Shadow's scarred face and his eyes that were as still as a pool of water, Ji Yun sighed softly.""Shadow, I told you, you're not a slave. You're like Ice Blue and the others. We're friends, comrades.”
As expected, Shadow shook his head indifferently. Regarding this, Ji Yun was also helpless. He had said it countless times, but it was a pity that it was useless.
Ji Yun didn't dwell on this matter anymore and looked at the other four. Ji Yun's words had shocked An Ying. Ice Blue and Yan Yu didn't show any changes, but Great Si Ming and Xing Hun's expressions changed. Seeing Ji Yun looking over, a thought flashed through their minds. I'm afraid it'll be troublesome today.
Yes, it was indeed troublesome.
This time, Ji Yun had broken through the demon barrier in his heart and had made a clear decision about his future path. Bing Lan, Xiao Yi, and the other three were the most talented people that Ji Yun knew of among the new generation of the Yin-Yang School. They were considered the top in the world.
Xing Hun had become a top expert like the Sword Saint Ge Nia after a year or two. Although Si Ming was not as good, he was still a top-notch expert. Moreover, Si Ming's potential was far beyond that. As for Ice Blue and Yan Yu, Ji Yun felt that they weren't inferior to Jing Tianming and Ji Ru.
Therefore, these people had to be in his hands. Today, Ji Yun was going to announce a showdown with them and force them to express their stance.
Actually, it was not just a few people. An Ying would definitely not have any problems. Instead, he had a grudge against the higher-ups of the Yin-Yang School. As for Ice Blue and Yan Yu, even though Ji Yun had yet to figure out their backgrounds, he wasn't worried about them at all. Therefore, there were only two people who needed to express their stance, Great Si Ming and Xing Hun. Great Si Ming was a candidate for the position of an elder after many rounds of selection. Donghuang Taiyi had given him a cultivation technique. Xing Hun was even promoted by Donghuang Taiyi, and he was bestowed with the ultimate Yin-Yang Art, allowing him to rise to the top. Therefore, these two people were loyal to East Emperor Taiyi. In the anime of his previous life, they did not show any disloyalty to East Emperor Taiyi.
Although they had been staying with Ji Yun for the past two years, and Ji Yun had established his prestige in their hearts, Ji Yun was not sure what choice they would make. Therefore, Ji Yun was not as calm as he looked. If they really chose Donghuang Taiyi…
"I just hope that it won't come to that.”Ji Yun could only look forward to it.
" Young, Young Master…" Great Si Ming called out in a low voice, his voice trembling. She really didn't expect Young Master to make such a decision. This was a betrayal of the Yin-Yang School.
Xing Hun's hands, which were hidden under his long sleeves, were trembling slightly. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his bright eyes flashed with an inexplicable light from time to time. Although he was young, his status was higher than Great Si Ming, and he had more contact with East Emperor Taiyi. Therefore, he knew a lot of inside information that Great Si Ming did not know. The Yin-Yang School was not that harmonious and united.
Ji Yun waved his hand and interrupted Great Si Ming,""This isn't betraying the Yin-Yang School. I'm the young master of the Yin-Yang School. It's only right for me to establish my own force, isn't it?”
Was there a difference? Great Si Ming and Xing Hun muttered to themselves.
Now, the Yin-Yang School only had one voice, East Emperor Taiyi. Ji Yun's actions were directly challenging East Emperor Taiyi's authority. The consequences…
Great Si Ming and Xing Hun remained silent, but the other three didn't. Shadow took a step forward and stood beside Ji Yun. He then turned around and faced the four of them. Following that, Ice Blue and Yan Yu walked over to Ji Yun's side. Now, it was the four of them facing Great Si Ming and Xing Hun. The two's expressions changed drastically.
Ji Yun chuckled when he saw this." You seem to have forgotten that I'm the young master of the Yin-Yang School. Logically speaking, you're my subordinates, aren't you?”Hmm? Hearing Ji Yun's words, Xing Hun and Great Si Ming's brows twitched.
Although Ji Yun's words were a cover-up, they were actually correct. Ji Yun was the Young Master, the future master of the Yin-Yang School. There was nothing wrong with being loyal to him.
They were all smart people, so the two of them naturally understood that Ji Yun was giving them a way out to change their stance. However, even though he had changed his direction, this declaration still meant that he was going to follow Ji Yun to the end. However, if you don't even give in, you probably won't be able to walk out of this tent today.
Regardless of whether it was Great Si Ming or Xing Hun, they were still very young. Who would be willing to lose their lives for no reason? The two of them did not have much respect for Donghuang Taiyi. They were more afraid of him. Perhaps the entire upper echelon of the Yin-Yang School, except for Yueshen, had the same attitude towards Donghuang Taiyi. After following Ji Yun for more than a year, they were extremely clear about Ji Yun's talent, and they sincerely admired him. Moreover, as Ji Yun had said, he was still the young master of the Yin-Yang School and a member of the Yin-Yang School. This was not a betrayal. "Xing Hun (Great Si Ming) greets Young Master.”With Ji Yun giving them a way out, the two of them quickly made their choice. After calling him "Young Master," they were tied to Ji Yun's chariot.
"Perhaps Young Master can really end Lord Donghuang's era and lead the Yin-Yang School to a new era.”After making the decision, the two of them thought of something outrageous, but they didn't know if it was a sincere thought or an excuse.
Ji Yun waved his hand and lifted the two of them up. He naturally didn't know what they were thinking, but he would only smile if he knew. This was what he wanted to do, but it wasn't his ultimate goal. The Yin-Yang School was too small, and the Hundred Schools of Philosophy were too small. Donghuang Taiyi's goal was not this small platform from the start, and it was the same for him. Only the entire world was interesting.
"I'm glad you made the right choice. Follow me and you'll see a brand new era.”Ji Yun turned around and looked at the map of the Nine Provinces hanging behind the table. His voice was gentle but powerful.
Ji Yun's actions enlightened them. The new era that Young Master spoke of seemed to be different from what they had imagined.
No matter what changes they had in their hearts, Ji Yun's tone changed. He looked at Xing Hun and said,""I have a rough idea of the side effects of your practice of gathering qi into blades. I will find some information when I return to the headquarters next time. You Yue, it's the same for your Yang Yang Hand Seal.”(I don't know what Great Si Ming's name is, so I just randomly wrote one, don't blame me.) It was the same for the Moon Goddess. She only knew her surname was Ji, but she didn't know anyone. She temporarily took the name from the novel The Legend of Qin-Wu Duan.）
"Young Master, is what you said true?”Xing Hun hurriedly asked as soon as Ji Yun finished speaking. Great Si Ming, who was beside him, was also excited. They all craved power, so the secret technique that Donghuang Taiyi gave them was extremely powerful, but it also brought great harm to themselves.
Ji Yun smiled." Of course it's true. However, I can only suppress it for the time being. I still have to study it again to completely solve it.”
"Thank you, Young Master." Xing Hun and Great Si Ming bowed and thanked Ji Yun with excited expressions. At this moment, the slight grudge and doubt in their hearts had disappeared.
Ji Yun accepted the bow calmly. Carrot and stick were indeed the best way to win people's hearts.
"Ice Blue, Xiao Yu, you two go back with Shadow.”
After settling Xing Hun and Great Si Ming's matters, Ji Yun looked at Ice Blue and Yan Yu. Seeing that Ice Blue wanted to say something, Ji Yun raised his hand to stop her.
"There's no suspense in the battle against Qin Chu. You've returned to the headquarters to help Dark Shadow develop the Shadow Guards and to pass the trial. I hope that you'll have officially taken over the position of Young Empress by the time I return.”
Ice Blue nodded disappointedly and didn't object. Yan Yu suddenly asked,"Young Master, are you looking for someone in Chu?"”
Even though Yan Yu was asking, his tone was one of absolute certainty. Ji Yun raised his eyebrows and looked at Yan Yu with interest.""What did you see?"
Yan Yu smiled mysteriously." Hehe, Young Master, you'll have a great opportunity this time. You might even be able to resolve the confusion in your heart.”
The others didn't know what kind of riddle the two of them were talking about, but Ji Yun's heart was indeed shaken, and he looked forward to the trip to Chu even more.
