Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

Chapter 520: Complaint
As time passed and the sun set, the stars gradually woke up. At first there was just one, but then they quickly woke up and filled the sky. Only then did the bright moon appear dimly under the starry sky, casting endless light.

The night is like a mysterious painting slowly unfolding. The moon hangs high in the sky, casting a cool light, covering the entire island with a layer of silver gauze. The waves gently hit the shore, making a low and rhythmic sound, as if it is the breath of the sea.

The stars twinkle in the night sky, like bright gems inlaid on black satin. Occasionally, a shooting star streaks across the sky, and the momentary light adds a touch of surprise to the silent night sky.

The few trees on the island cast eerie shadows in the moonlight, and when the wind blows, the branches and leaves rustle, as if whispering ancient secrets. The chirping of insects in the grass rises and falls, interweaving into a unique nocturne.

The reefs in the distance were looming in the night. After years of erosion, they still firmly watched over this lonely land. In the abandoned mine, there was occasionally a little fluorescence. Under the night, most places were also in silence. Even the monks who were moving the ore stopped working and returned to their dormitories to rest.

After all, most of the monks working here are outer disciples of the Sea Beast Island. They come here just to complete the mission, which is different from the real black slaves in the mines.

After discovering the hidden danger in the attic, Yu Changsheng and Old Wei were not in a hurry to alert the enemy. Instead, after discussion, they decided that since the attic had three floors, Old Wei might as well live with Yu Changsheng. This way, even if something went wrong, they could take care of each other.

And in the darkness of the night, when everything was quiet, three stealthy figures were quietly walking towards Yu Changsheng's residence.

In the dark night, the three of them hunched over, held their breath, and moved forward while carefully observing their surroundings.

"Do you think Yu Changsheng and the others can still recognize us?"

Yang Ling looked hesitant and spoke softly in a low voice.

"It's only been less than a month, he must have recognized it."

Shi Huishan rolled his eyes at him and answered in a low voice.

"That's not what I meant... I mean, what if he pretends not to know me, or has already... then what should I do?"

Yang Ling swallowed his saliva, his expression complicated, and he paused before speaking softly.

Shi Huishan was silent for a while, then waved his hand and said in a low voice: "No, let's see first. I believe Yu Changsheng is not such a person."

"it is good……"

Wu Xufei nodded, but his expression was solemn and a hint of hesitation flashed across his face, showing that he was worried about something.

.........

.........

At the same time, inside the attic, Yu Changsheng, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly raised his eyebrows, slowly opened his eyes, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

"It's these three people... They are here too..."

Yu Changsheng hesitated for a moment, then slowly stood up. With a move of faith, the original illusionary Dao pattern was outlined, branding the entire attic and isolating it from the detection of others. Then he waved his hand lightly, and the formation and the door covering the attic suddenly opened.

Shi Huishan, Wu Xufei and Yang Ling appeared outside the door with surprised faces.

"Why, an old friend is visiting, come in and have a seat?"

Yu Changsheng chuckled, walked to the door, looked at the three cautious people, raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke softly.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, we meet again."

The three of them were stunned and astonished. Shi Huishan was the first to come to his senses. He immediately lowered his eyebrows, clasped his fists, bowed to Yu Changsheng, and said with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"Haha, it can be considered as fate."

Yu Changsheng smacked his lips, invited the three people into the room, stood up and brewed a pot of spiritual tea for them, and asked calmly:

"How did you get here? Didn't you go to take the test for outer disciples? Why didn't you pass?"

Shi Huishan let out a long breath. The three of them looked at each other, pursed their lips slightly, smiled bitterly, scratched their heads and said awkwardly:
"Is it considered passed? Or only half passed. The three of us brothers have average talent and neither is our strength outstanding, so we did not completely pass the direct test for outer disciples, but only passed most of it.

But it's not that there is no chance. Sea Beast Sky Island has retained our place of origin as outer disciples, but to truly become an outer disciple, we need to complete a sect mission. The mission assigned to the three of us brothers is to come here to mine spiritual ore. After three years, we can go back and truly become outer disciples, and we can also get a lot of contribution points. "

As Shi Huishan explained, Wu Xufei exhaled a deep breath. As Shi Huishan spoke, an unnatural look appeared on his face.

“这样吗… … … ”

Yu Changsheng nodded, suddenly realizing.

"Yeah, I didn't expect to see you again, Fellow Daoist Yu. I thought there was no hope of meeting you again in this lifetime."

Shi Huishan looked at Yu Changsheng with a sigh, and was filled with emotion for a moment.

“Everything is fate.”

Yu Changsheng smiled slightly.

"It's true. Who says it's not true?"

Wu Xufei shook his head and smiled slightly.

"Well, I wonder what brings you here so late at night?"

Yu Changsheng nodded, gently raised a cup of spiritual tea, glanced at the three of them, and asked lightly.

Shi Huishan was stunned, and his expression showed a hint of struggle. After a slight hesitation, he took a deep breath and said hesitantly:
"There is indeed something that may require your help, Taoist Changsheng..."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Yu Changsheng spoke in a flat tone.

"Well," Shi Huishan swallowed his saliva, gritted his teeth for a while, clasped his hands together, and said, "May I ask, what is the relationship between Taoist Changsheng and Manager Liu Yun..."

"This matter has something to do with him. If you have a good relationship with Liu Yun, then just treat it as my nonsense."

"Oh?" Yu Changsheng gently put down the teacup in his hand, and a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes when he heard the words. He said, "It's okay to say it. As you can see, I just happened to be here to take up the post. I had some work contact with him, but we didn't have any friendship other than that."

"That's good……"

Wu Xufei patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. Shi Huishan also looked relieved. Although he didn't know whether what Yu Changsheng said was true or not, he didn't hesitate. A trace of hatred appeared on his face, and he said angrily:

"Fellow Daoist Yu, you don't know that before you came, this Lingkuang Island has always been managed by Liu Yun. His power on the island can be said to be so great that he can cover the sky with one hand, so he acts recklessly and abuses his power."

"Ah."

Yu Changsheng nodded, without any expression, not surprised, just listening quietly: "Anything else?"

"Besides that, this old man also relied on the fact that there was no one to check and control him on this island, so he suppressed the miners like us. It's no secret that we worked hard to mine, but every month he secretly withheld at least 30% of our salary!"

"Over the years, countless disciples have been exploited by him. He has used public resources for personal gain. He is truly a pest! Mining is hard work. When everyone came here, they thought that although it was hard work, the high concentration of spiritual energy in the mining area would be convenient for cultivation."

"As a result, this guy deliberately set up a spirit-attracting formation, gathering nearly 90% of the spiritual energy in his own residence, for him to enjoy alone. It really made us feel aggrieved, but we dared not say anything."

Shi Huishan spoke indignantly, his expression resentful.

Yu Changsheng frowned slightly, revealing a hint of discomfort, and quietly glanced at the attic where he lived.

After all, his residence had now been possessed by spirits, which was really unfair to these miners.

"If that's the case, Liu Yun is really going too far."

Yu Changsheng coughed lightly and spoke with pursed lips.

"Yes," Wu Xufei nodded, then showed helplessness, smiled bitterly, and spoke in a bitter tone.
"But what can we do? Whether it's withholding our salaries or taking advantage of his position to secretly embezzle the spiritual mines for his own benefit, this guy has been rooted in this spiritual mine island for many years and has deep roots. In addition, he has strong cultivation. It can be said that everyone in and out of him is his people. Although we are unwilling to accept this, we dare not say anything and can only bear it silently."

"even……"

Wu Xufei paused, exhaled deeply, and said through gritted teeth: "This has even become a rule that people stick to, and no one dares to say anything. Even if someone disagrees, as long as they dare to resist, the end that awaits them is only misery and death."

Yu Changsheng was silent for a moment. He could think of these things without Shi Huishan and the others telling him.

After all, for so many years, there has only been one top manager here, Liu Yun, and guarding Lingkuang Island is a lucrative job. It is not surprising that the other party enriched himself and suppressed and withheld the miners' salaries.

"Everything I said is true. I dare not say a single word that is false. You can check these things, Fellow Daoist Yu. I have also secretly collected some evidence. You can take a look at it."

Shi Huishan carefully observed the expression on Yu Changsheng's face. Seeing that there was no big change in his expression, he felt relieved but also a little nervous. He gritted his teeth, took out a few jade tubes from his arms and handed them to Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng took the jade tube, but did not check it immediately. Instead, he looked at the three people, nodded slightly, and asked:

"Is that all? There should be something else you haven't finished talking about, right? But you can say it anyway."

Yang Ling exhaled deeply, calmed down his emotions, and a trace of confusion flashed across his face. He said in a deep voice:
"If that was all, we would have just endured it, but Liu Yun is not only greedy and greedy, but he is also cruel and murderous."

"In fact, my three brothers and I came to Lingkuang Island with another new friend. She is a woman named Murong Xue. Because she has some knowledge, she was spotted by Liu Yun after arriving at Lingkuang Island. One day, he called her away, and she has never appeared since then. I'm afraid she has been killed by him."

After Yang Ling finished speaking, his nose twitched, and a look of grief and hatred flashed in his eyes. His tone was low, but it contained murderous intent, which made people shudder.

As he spoke, he took out another jade tube and handed it to Yu Changsheng.

"It contains some information about Murong Xue, as well as the impact of the brand she received when Liu Yun called her that day. There are also some names of people who died directly or indirectly at the hands of Liu Yun in recent years..."

Yang Ling paused, hiding the sadness in his eyes, pursed his lips and whispered: "I know Liu Yun is powerful and we can't afford to offend him. I can only think of you, Daoist Yu. If you are not able to do so, then we will pretend that nothing happened today and we won't say anything..."

"We are very sorry for causing trouble to you, Daoist Fellow."

After saying this, the speaker lowered his head, bent his waist, and bowed to Yu Changsheng again.

Yu Changsheng remained silent, lowering his brows as he looked at the jade tube in his hand.

Shi Huishan and the other two, on the contrary, felt relieved. They didn't say anything more, but looked at Yu Changsheng with hope and expectation in their eyes, and more importantly, they were very cautious.

Not long after, Yu Changsheng smiled gently and said to the three people: "You and I are acquainted after all, why are you being so polite? Don't be nervous."

"Now, no matter what, I am also an outer sect elder of Sea Beast Sky Island. It is impossible for me to just turn a blind eye to the injustice you have suffered. As for your concerns that Liu Yun and I are in cahoots with each other, you are worrying too much."

After Yu Changsheng finished speaking, Shi Huishan's expression suddenly showed a hint of excitement. The three of them looked at each other and showed a hint of embarrassment.

"What are you talking about, Daoist Yu? We naturally believe that you will not go along with Liu Yun, but Liu Yun is really powerful. We are afraid that Daoist Yu will have concerns and bring you trouble."

Wu Xufei hesitated for a while and spoke softly.

"It's okay. He's not up to the standard yet."

Yu Changsheng waved his hand indifferently, his expression indifferent.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, you better be careful. Liu Yun has been entrenched here for many years, and his power has long been deeply rooted. In addition to his cultivation base at the peak of the late Purple Mansion period, the three deacons in charge of supervising the spiritual mines are all at the early to middle Purple Mansion period, so they are indeed not easy to provoke."

"Including him, there are four Purple Mansion fighters, and the miners who come here are at most Golden Core cultivation. It is precisely because of this that they have been suppressed and deducted over the years, but there is no way to stop them. It's not that there are no rebels, but they are all dead."

Shi Huishan smiled bitterly and spoke honestly.

Hearing this, Yu Changsheng was about to say something, but he heard the angry voice of Elder Wei coming faintly:
"It's really lawless, huh!"

"Mr. Wei."

When Wu Xufei and the other two saw Mr. Wei, they immediately lowered their heads and greeted him respectfully.

"Well," Elder Wei nodded, glanced at the three of them, and finally his gaze fell on Yu Changsheng. He asked, "Aren't we worried that we don't have a reason to take action against Liu Yun?"

"That's good now. Isn't that the reason?"

Yu Changsheng was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and nodded: "Master is right, now we have caught him, let's see what he can say."

Then he turned around, patted Shi Huishan on the shoulder, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I will take care of this matter."
