Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

The night passed quietly, and the whistling wind unconsciously brought some sense of noise and frenzy. Soon, Shi Huishan and the other two quietly said goodbye and left.

When I came, I was full of sorrow, worry and fear. When I left, I felt relieved and full of anticipation.

In the attic, Yu Changsheng watched the three people leave quietly through the window. After a long time, he withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and looked at the jade tubes in his hands, as if thinking about something.

Inside the jade tube were some evidence collected by the three people about Liu Yun suppressing and withholding the salaries of his miner disciples, embezzling money, and misappropriating public funds for personal gain.

As well as a list of some miner disciples who went missing or died at Liu Yun's hands over the years.

It can be said that with this evidence, it would not be a pity for Liu Yun to be sentenced to death any number of times.

"What are you going to do? Should we hand over the evidence to the law enforcement elders of Sea Beast Sky Island and let them handle it? We can keep a low profile, which may be safer and avoid a series of troubles later."

Mr. Wei asked quietly.

No matter what, Liu Yun is an outer sect elder of the Sea Beast Island. Even if Yu Changsheng and the others have evidence of his guilt, according to the process, they should hand it over to the people of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Sea Beast Island for handling.

It would be difficult to explain the two men's rash killing if they were investigated by their superiors.

Yu Changsheng was silent for a moment, then shook his head and smiled softly, with a hint of sarcasm in his smile, and said:
"It's not that easy. Liu Yun has been entrenched in Lingkuang Island for many years, and he is still safe and sound. I guess he has already established some connections behind the scenes. This is a lucrative job..."

Yu Changsheng paused.

"Even if we have evidence of his crime, if we really follow the procedure and hand it over to the Law Enforcement Hall to handle, the final result will probably be nothing. Moreover, he will bear a grudge against us. Rather than leaving trouble like this, it is better to cut the weeds and root them out."

"Even if they are held accountable later, we have the evidence and the people's support. Even if there is a punishment, it should not be too severe and we can accept it."

Listening to Yu Changsheng's analysis, Elder Wei pondered for a while, nodded after a while, and said in a deep voice: "Your analysis is correct. This guy has been dominating this Spirit Mine Island for such a long time, and the elders of Sea Beast Sky Island cannot have been unaware of it."

"As you said, the relationship between the upper and lower levels has probably been opened up by Liu Yun a long time ago. According to the process, the best outcome would be to remove him from his position as deacon. However, there is a greater possibility that they will collude with each other and find a way to get rid of us."

"This is a chain of interests... The relationship is complicated. The best solution is to do as you said, and kill it with thunder."

After Old Wei finished speaking, he exhaled a deep breath, raised his eyes to look at Yu Changsheng, a faint light flickered in his eyes, and finally revealed a hint of admiration.

"In that case, let's do it this way."

.........

.........

The next day, early in the morning, at the mining area.

The miners coming and going started another busy day of work, going down the mines, mining ore...

A busy scene.

Liu Yun, on the other hand, lay calmly on the side, half-closed his eyes and watched the monks and miners coming in and out. A hint of pride flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Beside him, three mining area supervisors, who were also his subordinates, silently guarded Liu Yun and spurred the miners' actions.

"Sir, I can take care of such a small matter as supervision. You don't have to do it yourself."

Li Sicheng bent down and spoke to Liu Yun in a low voice with a hint of respect in his tone.

Liu Yun looked calm. Hearing this, he raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Li Sicheng, then looked at the mining area, and said calmly: "Of course I know that such a small matter does not require me to come in person, but now, two more elders have come."

"I have to make some statements. I can pretend to be busy so he can be more relaxed and at ease."

Li Sicheng looked puzzled and asked in a low voice, "The two elders came here suddenly. I heard that they were personally arranged by the third elder of the Beast Taming Sect in Shanghai Beast Sky Island. I don't know if they have any relationship with him. Will coming here... be harmful to you, sir?"

Liu Yun showed a trace of disdain, curled his lips and said, "You think too much. Yu Changsheng, at such a young age, has already reached the Purple Mansion level. He can be called a genius. Why doesn't such a genius stay in Shanghai Beast Sky Island? Instead, he came to mine in this remote place like mine."

"In my opinion, it is true that they have a relationship with the Third Elder, but this relationship is probably not a good one. Instead, they are not welcomed, so the Third Elder randomly assigned them a position and sent them away."

I have to say that Liu Yun is indeed a smart man with a sharp eye. He has deduced the whole picture of the matter just from a small detail.

"So that's how it is." After listening to Liu Yun's explanation, Li Sicheng and the other two supervisors suddenly understood and showed admiration to Liu Yun at the same time.

"Your Excellency is far-sighted and thoughtful."

Li Sicheng spoke with admiration and a flattering tone.

"If you think about these things carefully, you can guess some of the general situation. It's nothing." Liu Yun said calmly, "However, they are arranged by the higher-ups anyway, and I have given them enough face. If it is not necessary, we don't have to provoke them."

"During this period of time, just be quiet and wait and see. If they are at peace with themselves, we will respect them a little. Even if we share some of our profits with them, what's the problem?"

Li Sicheng smiled lightly and said, "Your Excellency is generous. As you said, these two people probably offended the Third Elder on Shanghai Beast Sky Island. If that's the case, they don't have any background or connections behind them. If they really don't know what's good for them, then it's normal for them to die on this Spirit Mine Island."

"Based on your cultivation, they are just two Purple Mansions. Although they are threatening, they can't cause much trouble. As you said, it depends on whether they know what's best for them. If they don't, then we can just kill them. Since they have offended the Third Elder, no one will care even if they die."

Liu Yun glanced at Li Sicheng lightly. He neither denied nor acknowledged what he said. He just replied calmly, "Don't be so murderous. It would be best if we could become friends."

"hey-hey."

Li Sicheng smiled bitterly and did not comment on this. Among Liu Yun's three direct subordinates, he had the highest cultivation level, reaching the middle stage of Purple Mansion, so he was the most casual when talking to Liu Yun.

In fact, these three people were promoted by Liu Cheng. Originally, they were just like the cultivators in other mining areas, with only the Jindan cultivation level. Later, they were favored by Liu Yun, who allocated a lot of resources to the three of them, helping them to break through to the Zifu level and become his right-hand men.

Most of the things on Lingkuang Island were also handed over to them, and Liu Yun was more of a hands-off boss. However, as a hands-off boss, he had absolute authority.

It is for this reason that the three of them are in awe of Liu Yun, yet also grateful to him, and are even more enthusiastic about the affairs of the mining area.

There was obvious hostility towards the arrival of Yu Changsheng and the other man. After all, the three of them were the beneficiaries of this Lingkuang Island.

At this moment, a clear voice suddenly sounded, echoing in the ears of the four people. "Manager Liu is really diligent. He came to supervise so early. Haha."

Liu Yun looked over when he heard the voice and saw Yu Changsheng walking over with a smile on his face. So he stood up, put on a smile, and said:

"It's not a big deal, I just came to take a look. Elder Yu, since you are new here, I can take you to get familiar with the mining area."

"Then I'll have to trouble Manager Liu."

Yu Changsheng laughed and waved his hand. His eyes paused slightly at the three supervisors beside Liu Yun. He pondered in his heart and understood.

"One Purple Mansion Early Stage, two Purple Mansion Middle Stages, plus Liu Yun who is at the peak of the Purple Mansion Late Stage. With this combat power, it is really easy to suppress the miners on the Spirit Mine Island."

Although he thought so in his heart, Yu Changsheng would not show it on his face. He still smiled and looked at Liu Yun, pretending to be relaxed and said:

"Speaking of the mining area, I did check some relevant information about the mining area last night. There are some things that I don't quite understand and have some doubts about. I would like to ask Manager Liu to give me some answers."

"If Elder Yu has any questions, please feel free to speak up." Liu Yun nodded slightly.

"Well," Yu Changsheng thought for a moment and raised his eyebrows slightly, "As far as I know, the number of workers and repairmen on Lingkuang Island in recent years, excluding those who have been repatriated, should be 523 in total."

"But now, I have only seen 499 people. The remaining 24 people have disappeared without a trace. I wonder if Manager Liu knows what happened?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yun's eyes flickered slightly, but he still smiled softly:
"Although the Spirit Mine Island is relatively safe, there are still some dangers. Occasionally, sea beasts come ashore and pose a threat. In addition, there are some underground spirit beasts in the mining area. They sleep next to the spirit mines. Mining the spirit mines will naturally disturb them. These dangers cannot be avoided in time, so it is normal for casualties to occur."

"I have recorded all of this in a book. If Elder Yu has any concerns, he can check it out."

"Elder Yu, do you have any questions?"

After saying that, Liu Yun smiled at Yu Changsheng and blinked gently, his smile was intriguing.

"is it?"

Yu Changsheng didn't comment, but just looked at Liu Yun deeply, and continued to ask in a cold tone:
"Perhaps all of this is as you said, Manager Liu. But how do you explain Murong Xue's matter? Just a week ago, Murong Xue was still alive and well in the mining area. And within this week, the mining area was calm and there were no unexpected incidents."

"That day, in front of everyone, Murong Xue has not appeared since you called her over. She has been fighting for life and death ever since."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yun's face darkened slightly. He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Yu Changsheng, and said lightly:

"What Murong Xue? There has never been such a person in the mining area. Elder Yu, could it be that he has heard some villain talking nonsense and is therefore suspicious?"

"Haha," Yu Changsheng sneered, and took out a jade tube from his arms. After activating it, a picture was projected into the void.

"Manager Liu, please take a closer look. If this isn't Murong Xue, who is this?"

Looking at the projected image, Liu Yun's face instantly became gloomier, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice:

"What does this mean, Elder Yu?"

Li Sicheng and the other two beside him also narrowed their eyes and looked at Yu Changsheng with unfriendly eyes.

"Um……"

Yu Changsheng lowered his eyebrows, tapped his forehead with his fingers, raised his eyes and looked directly at Liu Yun, his tone became even colder: "Besides that, in recent years, there has been an obvious imbalance in the output of the mining area. Shouldn't Manager Liu give an explanation for where these unbalanced resources have gone?"

"Or, at least 30% of the monthly salary of these mining disciples was swallowed up by you. Any disciple can testify to this. How do you explain this?"

The commotion here immediately attracted the attention of a group of miners, who stopped their work and looked towards Yu Changsheng.

Shi Huishan and the other two flew out at the right time, bowed to Yu Changsheng, and cried out in sorrow:

"Elder Yu, please have a clear vision! This Liu Yun has taken advantage of his position to do whatever he wants, oppressing poor disciples like us and withholding our salaries. All those who have resisted over the years have been killed. Last week, he saw my good friend Murong Xue was beautiful, so he was tempted by her beauty and forcibly kidnapped her, and she is still alive!"

"This is such a selfish, cruel and inhuman dog. Elder Yu, please take action and kill him to appease the resentment!"

Shi Huishan said angrily, tears streaming down his face, while Wu Xufei and Yang Ling also raised their arms.

"Brothers, we are all outer disciples of Sea Beast Island. We are here to complete our mission, not to be slaves of Liu Yun. Facing such a beast, how can we abandon the moral principles of a cultivator and lose our blood!"

"Today, since Elder Yu is in charge, you guys tell me whether Liu Yun should be killed or not!"

As soon as the words fell, there was silence all around at first, and then a huge uproar broke out. Angry roars came from the mouths of the miners all around. Four hundred and ninety-nine people spoke in unison, and their voices turned into a torrent, sweeping across the sky and shocking people's hearts.

"Deserve to die! Deserve to die! Deserve to die!"

"Liu Yun, damn it! Liu Yun, damn it!"

.........

.........

For a moment, there was an uproar in the mining area, and Liu Yun's face turned completely gloomy. He looked at everyone angrily and said in a cold voice: "Shut up, you wait, are you looking for death?"

After saying this, his aura of peak Purple Mansion realm suddenly burst out without any concealment, transforming into a thick pressure that enveloped the place.

"You are the one who is looking for death!"

Yu Changsheng also took a step forward, shouted angrily, and burst out with an aura of cultivation that was in no way inferior to Liu Yun, and he began to compete with him.

"Today is the day you, Liu Yun, will die!"

Liu Yun pursed his lips and looked at Yu Changsheng angrily.

"Elder Yu, do you think I dare not touch you?" (End of this chapter)
