Ye Guichen was completely dumbfounded.

What's going on?

He had just returned with Luo Huasheng after capturing Yin Chanzi to explain the situation, and now he was suddenly being addressed as a senior?

"Huh? Oh, you guys know him?" Zhang Chonglou wore a loving smile on his face, but somehow it looked rather sly. At this moment, he finally came to his senses and seeing everyone bowing to Ye Guichen left him bewildered, thinking these people actually knew Ye Guichen.

The Taoist people were also incredibly perplexed and quickly put on a smiling face, "Knowing the senior is our honor. To meet you today, your demeanor indeed stands out!"

"Yes, yes, absolutely, the senior truly has a way of maintaining youth, we are really ashamed."

"Senior, please take the seat of honor."

A group of people started flattering, even Zhang Chonglou was confused.

Zhang Chongchen's mouth opened so wide, it seemed it could fit a fist.

This misunderstanding was really huge.

"Ahem, well..." Zhang Chonglou wanted to explain, but before he could, Ye Guichen casually plopped himself onto the main seat, "Ladies and gentlemen, you calling me a senior makes me a bit ashamed, I'm just a junior. But today, I actually came here just to tell you something."

Then, pointing at Yin Chanzi who was limp on the ground with a pale face, said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this person is from Medicine King Valley, and it seems there are some tricky matters with the Eternal Life Hall now, not only involving Medicine King Valley but also the Shennong Sect..."

Ye Guichen briefly explained what he knew.

The people from All Taoist Sects whispered to each other in shock, their brows furrowed.

Obviously, what Ye Guichen described was beyond their imagination.

If it were just the Eternal Life Hall, they might still have the strength to fight.

But unexpectedly, the Eternal Life Hall was operating so secretly, silently pulling in both the Witch God Sect and Medicine King Valley.

This amounted to dealing with many sects at once.

Even one Witch God Sect gave them a headache, and now there's also Medicine King Valley involved, and the Eternal Life Hall hasn't even shown its hand.

If it weren't for accidentally discovering a water monkey in Jinling, perhaps they wouldn't have noticed even if the Eternal Life Hall had acted.

Thinking about it sends shivers down the spine.

"Senior, what do you think we should do?" a Taoist stood up and respectfully asked Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen stepped down from the main seat: "I have no ideas, I just told you what I know. As for the other matters, you should ask Old Man Zhang. Also, how to deal with this Yin Chanzi, that's up to you, I need to go drink with Brother Hua Sheng."

Amidst everyone's watchful eyes, Ye Guichen swaggered out. When passing by Zhang Chonglou, he even patted him on the shoulder, "Old Man Zhang, I'm heading out, call me if there's anything."

Then left directly.

The crowd looked at each other in bewilderment.

Everyone gazed oddly at Ye Guichen's receding figure, and once he left, their suspicious eyes turned to Zhang Chonglou.

"Master Zhang, this senior truly has a personality," someone flattered from the Taoist crowd.

Zhang Chonglou didn't know what to say either and casually said, "A junior, lacks manners, everyone, let's continue our discussion."

"Junior?"

Everyone from the Taoist Sects looked baffled, but seeing Zhang Chonglou not willing to say more, they didn't pursue it further.

Soon, all eyes fell on Yin Chanzi.

"Tell us, has Medicine King Valley really become a lackey of the Eternal Life Hall?" a Taoist stepped forward, lifted Yin Chanzi, and angrily shouted, "If you dare lie, I'll use you to ignite the sky lantern!"

Yin Chanzi knew the methods of these Taoists were strange, rendering one's life worse than death. By the time he arrived at Qingcheng Mountain, he was scared out of his wits, and didn't dare to hide anything, "I, I'm just following orders, as for what's really going on, I don't know!"

"Really, please spare me! I'm just following Master Huang from Medicine King Valley, all actions were instructed by him!"

"Mercy, masters, spare my life!"

The Taoists looked grim.

By the looks of it, it seemed true.

Just then, someone outside shouted, "Master, Elder Gong from Medicine King Valley requests an audience."

"What?"

Everyone was stunned.

Zhang Chonglou also wore a strange expression.

They had just captured a member from Medicine King Valley, yet someone from the other side dared to come.

Zhang Chonglou pondered for a moment and instructed, "Let him in."

Soon, an elder looking about sixty hurried in.

As soon as he entered, he glanced at Yin Chanzi, his eyes bulged, and he slapped Yin Chanzi across the face, cursing, "Beast! Traitor! You ungrateful bastard, have we of Medicine King Valley wronged you? Filthy traitor, it's fortunate the Taoist friends caught you, otherwise our Medicine King Valley would have been slandered to death by you!"

He then turned to Zhang Chonglou and bowed apologetically, "Master Zhang, I apologize! A defector appeared in Medicine King Valley, almost ruining great affairs, luckily Heavenly Master Tao's Daoists intervened, otherwise, I wouldn't know how to handle it."

Zhang Chongchen raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

The newcomer glanced at Zhang Chongchen, "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I am Gong Cheng, the Sixth Elder of Medicine King Valley, responsible for Spiritual Spring matters. A couple of days ago, we collected three barrels of spiritual spring water, intended to be transported back to Medicine King Valley, but this morning we found them missing, along with this traitor."

Pointing indignantly at Yin Chanzi, "Later we found out those three barrels of spiritual spring water were stolen by this beast and seemingly offered to the Witch God Sect. Filthy traitor, who would have thought Medicine King Valley would produce such a defector!"

Zhang Chongchen was full of doubts, pointing to Yin Chanzi and asked, "Elder Gong, do you mean you had no idea of his actions?"

"Of course not, I'm still searching for him." Gong Cheng angrily said, "You undoubtedly understand the value of spiritual spring, if it's lost, I can't face the Valley Master, luckily your people found it, could you possibly return it to us now?"

Not only Zhang Chonglou, but all the Taoists present understood clearly.

Whether Gong Cheng was right or wrong, it seemed difficult to convict Medicine King Valley immediately over this matter.

"Elder Gong, let's put the spiritual spring matter aside for now, from what you said, Yin Chanzi colluded with the Witch God Sect?" finally, Zhang Chonglou spoke, squinting at Gong Cheng.

Gong Cheng nodded urgently, "Yes!"

He grabbed Yin Chanzi, "Speak! Medicine King Valley hasn't treated you badly, yet you committed such heinous acts, you better spill the truth! Or I'll kill you with one slap!"

Yin Chanzi's mouth oozed blood, his face was ashen.

He finally understood he was doomed.

Medicine King Valley intended to sacrifice him to protect themselves.

"Ha, Elder Gong, unexpected, truly unexpected! I did so many dirty deeds for Medicine King Valley, and in the end, you want to kick me aside?"
