Chapter 46: Elder YunlingThe Douqi Continent is a world where strength is respected and the strong prey on the weak. Nie Yuan is very clear about this. But he also felt that if he wanted to make the Yunlan Sect bigger and stronger, strength alone was not enough, and reputation was also needed. Sometimes, if the Yunlan Sect only relies on the strength of the older generation, it is doomed to be powerless and unable to develop in the long run. After taking over the Yunlan Sect, Nie Yuan established a series of rules, one of which was that the outer sect elders could not use the Yunlan Sect's name to bully others in the local area. After all, this is a world where one can practice cultivation. Who can guarantee that the outer sect elders will not bring a guy like the Son of Luck to the sect? Over the past three years, the sect has never slackened in its inspections of the outer sect elders. As for the Yancheng Mo family, Nie Yuan naturally knew their tricks, but Mo Cheng was an old fox and had never revealed his true colors, so he did not take any action. Nie Yuan remembered that he had obtained the evidence before leaving the sect. How dare the Mo family invite Yun Yun to a banquet in such a high-profile manner? "Master, the affairs of the Mo family are not that simple. I want to listen to you, but someone won't let me. You are not in the sect during this period, so I can't do anything."
Yunhai suddenly realized, and then found it very difficult to express his situation. "Is it Yun Yun?" Nie Yuan looked at him sideways. "no no." Yun Hai waved his hands hastily, "The Sect Master only took over at first, and then, perhaps in a hurry to find you, he handed over all subsequent matters to Great Elder Yun Leng." "What? Who did you just say?" Nie Yuan stood up from his seat suddenly. He suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. "Grand Elder Yun Ling." Looking at Nie Yuan who was becoming excited, Yun Hai's voice suddenly became a little low. Nie Yuan's face froze for a moment. If we were to assign blame for the demise of the Yunlan Sect, none of Yun Yun, Yun Shan, Yun Leng, and Nalan Yanran would be able to escape. But if you find the one with the biggest problem among these people. Then there is no doubt that Yunling has the biggest problem. Nie Yuan has lived in Yunlan Sect for more than ten years and knows the character of this old man Yun Leng very well. He is very concerned about his reputation, petty-minded and vengeful. Therefore, as soon as he took over the Yunlan Sect, he took back Yun Leng's power and arranged for him to a relatively free position in the Yunlan Sect. Because as long as this old guy is here, even if it's not the Xiao family, even the imperial royal family and the Mitre family will not be able to carry out their work normally. This person is too fond of face. If any minor detail is not taken care of, he will escalate to the level of Yunlan Sect and use the sect to suppress the other party. When Nie Yuan made this decision, Yun Leng was still not convinced and went to the teacher to reason with him.
Yunshan also stood on Yunling's side, because Yunling had followed him for many years and even if he had no credit, he had worked hard. Nie Yuan would definitely not agree, and in the end he even said something cruel: It’s either me or him. In desperation, Yunshan finally stood on Nie Yuan's side. Now hearing that Yun Leng had appeared again, Nie Yuan couldn't help but feel depressed. "Master?" Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yunhai tentatively called out softly. Nie Yuan waved his hand, indicating that he could leave. Yunhai understood and saluted with his fists clasped. After taking a few steps, he stopped and turned around, "Master, there will be a meeting of the sect tomorrow morning. Will you attend?" "I'll be there on time." Nie Yuan answered. Yunhai nodded and didn't stop. …… The sun slowly rises in the sky. In the square, figures were practicing fighting skills seriously. These young disciples exuded youthful vitality, bathing in the sun together, and gathered into a thriving atmosphere that lingered on the top of Yunlan Mountain. Following the sound of a clear bell, elders gradually came out from various places and headed towards the majestic and solemn hall in the square. The concept of morning meeting was proposed by Nie Yuan. These things didn’t happen in the Yunlan Sect before. He felt that it would not take much time to have the elders report on their work every week. On the contrary, he can clearly understand the operation of the sect. Over the past three years, many elders have become familiar with this process. Each elder walked into the hall and went to his seat, greeting other elders as he went. "The Sect Master is back, did you know?" "That's great. The sect master's strength has recovered. As long as he works hard for a few years, he may be able to reach the Dou Zong level. The Yunlan Sect hasn't produced a Dou Zong for many years." "I don't know if he will show up today. I didn't learn even a little bit of the essence of the sect master from what the great elder said a few times before. I kept falling asleep while listening to him." The elders gathered together, talking at the same time, and the mixed voices quickly made the hall lively. "Cough cough..." Suddenly, a voice was heard at the entrance of the hall.
Everyone stopped talking and looked over there. Yun Leng straightened his sleeves, calmly made eye contact with them, then walked into the hall and stopped in front of them. In the crowd, several elders were whispering to each other, looking at Yun Leng with disgust in their eyes. Ever since Yun Leng was promoted by the sect leader, the morning meeting has changed a bit and has become an occasion for showing off. Every time he had to attract everyone's attention before he would walk in with a proud stride. Nie Yuan had never shown these things before. Every time he would come in quickly, get a brief understanding, give new opinions, and then dismiss the group directly. "The Sect Master will be here soon. If you have anything to report, please give it to me first." Yun Leng glanced at everyone and spoke loudly. An elder at the back of the crowd said, "Great Elder, I reported last week that Elder Chen Hao's grandson used the sect's cover to rob people's wives and daughters. It seems that he has not been dealt with yet?" Yun Leng's eyes flashed with gloom, but a smile appeared on his face. "Elder Yunhe, things have their priorities. Don't worry, Elder Chen's grandson violated the sect's rules and will definitely be punished. It may be a little later. So, you can come to me directly after the meeting and I will arrange it for you." The elder said again: "This is just a small matter. Can't we just call Elder Chen to the sect to handle it? I clearly saw Elder Chen coming last week." "Yunhe!" Suddenly, Yun Leng's voice rose and his tone was low, "I told you to come find me later, don't you understand?" Beside the elder, several other people glanced at him and someone tugged at his sleeve. Yunhe gritted his teeth and lowered his head. "Why do we have to say it in private? Is there something that cannot be discussed publicly? If you make a mistake, you will be punished! Even the sect master and clan leader are not exempted. Isn't this rule clear enough?" Suddenly, a loud voice sounded, echoing in the hall and clearly heard by everyone. All eyes turned and finally stopped at the entrance of the hall. A figure bathed in the sunlight walked inside step by step. "Master of the Gate." "I've met the sect master." The elders present clasped their fists and bowed slightly towards the figure. The masseter muscles on Yun Leng's face tensed slightly and his breathing became labored. "Article 21 of the sect's rules states that those who bully men and women shall be punished with thirty strokes of the cane and confined for one month. Yun Leng, how difficult is this? We only need to send a disciple to notify Elder Chen. If he dares not to listen, he will be considered to have violated the sect's order and be expelled directly? Tell me, how difficult is this?" Nie Yuan walked three steps away from Yun Leng with an expressionless face and stared at him calmly. Yun Leng's cheek muscles twitched slightly, and he forced out a smile, "Master, Elder Chen's contribution to the sect over the years is enough to rank him in the top five. It's just a small matter..." "A small matter? You call this a small matter? Let me ask you, if it was your wife and daughter who encountered this kind of thing? Would you still be able to stand here so calmly?" Nie Yuan's tone was cold.
