Chapter 490 Snake Nest (1)
The snake nest located deep in the sea of sand looks like a huge vortex from a distance, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and a spiral downward staircase at the edge of the vortex.
The stairs are extremely long and you can't see the end at first sight.
Following the ghost messenger, Zhang Mao, there were nine disciples in total. Xu Yan walked at the end and could not escape under the eyes of the powerful Xu Dan.
When he reached this point, Xu Yan didn't want to escape. His eyes became calmer, but his heart became colder.
The people who cooperated with the mourning hall to steal snake eggs were just a saying to die. They had long seen the insidiousness of the Xu family, and Xu Yan would not believe that these new disciples would be alive.
Since you can't come out, no one will come out, including the ghost messenger in front!
While Xu Yan was ruthless, Zhuo Tianying was furious.
When Zhuo Tianying was furious, he found his master, who was surveillance of Xu Yan, and asked his master, who was a ghost messenger, to come forward and ask Qiu Hanli to ask for someone.
Zhuo Tianying's master is Cao Tianliang, and he is also one of the thirty-six ghost envoys.
In the Tiangui Sect, the relationship between the master and the disciple is actually not very deep. It is said that he is a master and disciple, but he is just a group of core disciples who are attached to the feet of the powerful Xudan. Core disciples like Zhuo Tianying who are stationed outside all year round are usually a means used by the elders of Xudan to make money. Because the sects of Jianghu can also collect a lot of spiritual herb materials, Zhuo Tianying needs to deliver a lot of benefits every year to sit in the position of the leader of the Ghost King Sect.
Last time, Zhuo Tianying lost nearly 10,000 sect members, and Cao Tianying had been scolded by Cao Tianliang. Because Zhuo Tianying was still very cautious in his career, the Ghost King Sect had not changed the sect leader. If Zhuo Tianying had not been crazy by Xu Yan this time, he would not have wanted to ask his master for help.
When Cao Tianliang learned that his disciple's enemies were actually protected by Qiu Hanli, he felt helpless.
"Old man Qiu has a strange temper. Although he is not a ghost, few people in the sect are willing to provoke him."
In the face of Zhuo Tianying's plea, Cao Tianliang said indifferently: "Since your enemy lives in Old Man Qiu's yard, won't you wait for him to come out to take action? A gentleman is not too late to take revenge for ten years. Why are you anxious to kill an ordinary disciple? As long as you avoid Old Man Qiu, who dares to say that you are not, I will hold on for you."
After saying that, Cao Tianliang waved his hand to send Zhuo Tianying away, and he was too lazy to come forward for such a trivial matter.
"Master, Xu Yan not only has an irreconcilable hatred with his disciples, but he is also a decent person of the great general. The disciples can guarantee that he must be a spy sent by the Jinqian Sect!"
Zhuo Tianying saw that his master did not want to pay attention to his great revenge with Xu Yan, so he had to tell all the secrets he knew.
After hearing that the people who were well-off in the evil sect were mixed up, Cao Tianliang became curious. When Zhuo Tianying finished talking about Xu Yan's past, he asked in a deep voice: "You have found out, Xu Yan and Xu Zhijian, the son-in-law of the Pang family, are they really people of the great people? Not from Qi?"
"Reporting to Master, I found it clearly that Xu Yan is indeed a great man, and the disciple also found out that Pang Wanli's daughter of the Pang family had joined the Jin Qian Sect. Xu Yan must have joined the righteous sect with him. This time he entered the Tiangui Sect, and he must have an ulterior motive secret!"
Not only did he tell the truth that he had heard, Zhuo Tianying even told his own speculation. His purpose was to attract the attention of his master, so as to catch Xu Yan and let him take revenge.
"People from the Jinqian Sect have mixed into our Tiangui Sect..."
Cao Tianliang was wearing a mask unique to the ghost messenger, and he could not see his expression. He could only see his eyes flashing with sinister splendor.
"After saying this, wouldn't Qiu Hanli protect the decent disciples? It seems that some people are going to be unlucky. If Qiu Hanli is unlucky, his magic weapon flowing golden cauldron..."
Cao Tianliang said in a slight slightest way, and even Zhuo Tianying couldn't hear it. Soon, Cao Tianliang ordered in a deep voice: "Tianying, you go down first, your master must plan well. Your enemy cannot escape. You have to put it on your master. Don't worry, don't alarm the snake, don't hear it."
Zhuo Tianying was a little confused. Master stood up for him. He was indeed very happy, but he didn't understand why Master asked him not to alert him.
Zhuo Tianying was indeed very experienced, but with his status, he didn't dare to plot against an elder Xu Dan, so he couldn't see through his master's intention for a while, so he had to retreat respectfully.
In the uninhabited hall, Cao Tianliang's extremely sinister smile gradually sounded, and a plot and murder led by Xu Yan was constantly calculating in the mind of the ghost messenger.
...
Following the stairs on the edge of the snake nest, everyone who had been walking for a long time finally arrived at the flat ground. In front of them was an extremely huge cave. As they walked forward, Xu Yan saw that there were cages like cells around the cave. There were no prisoners inside, but strange snakes, large or small, imprisoned.
The strange snakes are covered with black dots, and some have semicircular dark red marks around the black dots. If the marks around the black dots are covered, a strange eye pattern will be formed.
There are countless thousand-eyed snakes locked in the snake's nest, and most of them have the aura of monsters. Only some extremely weak monster snakes have not reached the level of monsters.
Not long after entering the cave, two core disciples immediately came out, saying that they were the devil's envoy, and took the group to a very spacious hall.
The main hall built in the underground cave is the residence of the elder who guards the snake's nest. The elder Xudan who lives here is also a ghost messenger.
"Elder Guo, haha, come on, it just so happens that you are addicted to chess, and you are here. Those who really know me are half of the city!"
In the hall, a ghost envoy named Luo Yunlong stood up and said with a smile that he was the ghost envoy who guarded the snake's nest and was in this underground cave all year round.
From the other party's words, Xu Yan learned that the ghost messenger who led them to the snake's nest was named Guo Bancheng. It seemed that Guo Bancheng was still very familiar with the other party.
"I haven't seen each other for a few days. Is Elder Luo's chess skill a little more skilled? If he is still a bad chess, don't blame me for killing me." Guo Bancheng said with a smile, and was still joking.
"Just talking but not practicing, that's the advantage of verbal talk. Today, Luo must fight you for a big battle with you. Haha, come here, set up chess and have tea!"
Luo Yunlong is very fond of playing chess, and his chess skills are not very good. In the sect, only Guo Bancheng can accompany him for a day. If he were other elders, he would not have such skills.
"It's time to clean up the snake nest, so Elder Guo is still careful."
"I just remembered it, so I brought a few people here." Guo Bancheng ordered Xu Yan and others: "You guys, go and help clean the snake nest. Just follow the arrangements of the disciples here. Don't watch it in a mess. If you are swallowed by the snake demon, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance."
After saying that, he waved his hand, Zhang Mao immediately understood and led his people out of the hall. Outside the hall, there were disciples responsible for the snake nest, leading them to the depths.
After leaving the hall, Xu Yan completely saw Guo Bancheng's cunning, and used chess to drag Luo Yunlong who was guarding the snake nest, and then asked Zhang Mao to take the man to steal the snake egg.
This is not the end. As long as the snake egg is obtained, Zhang Mao will definitely take the opportunity to cause some trouble and let the eight disciples die in a bad life.
As for why Xu Yan calculated Guo Bancheng's plan, because if Xu Yan had planned it himself, he would have been so cruel.
