Chapter 15 Undercurrent
"Brother, why did you stop me just now? If you hadn't pulled me, I would have let this kid know how powerful my brothers are." Even though Zhong Yue was driven away by his brother, he still had anger on his face.
"What do you know? Among the Zhong family's silence disciples, Zhong Chen and my brothers have the same reputation. You don't really think that the three of us are about the same strength." The gray-haired young man said with a gloomy face.
"I know this kid is good, but no matter how strong he is, he is like us, and his strength is much greater than that. Besides, he is only one person, and the two of us brothers join forces to suppress him," Zhong Yue said dissatisfiedly.
"Do you know, I had fought with Zhong Chen two years ago?" The gray-haired young man hesitated for a moment after hearing his brother's words and said with a wry smile.
"What, why don't I know about this? What's the result? I remember that you didn't seem to have advanced to the foundation building yet." Zhong Yue was shocked when he heard this.
"At that time, Zhong Chen and I were both in the late stage of foundation building. I forced him to decide the winner. But after only three attempts, I was defeated, and I didn't even use the magic weapon. You don't know what level he had practiced the Bibo Kung Fu. That power is not an opponent even if it is a perfect foundation building, let alone his cultivation is now further." Zhong Tai showed a look of fearful memory on his face and said slowly.
"You mean, Zhong Chen had the strength to complete the foundation building level in the later stage of foundation building? Doesn't this mean that he and the third son are both strong men at the same level?" Zhong Yue was stunned when he heard this and murmured for a while.
"Even if it's a little bit, it's definitely not inferior. Otherwise, how could I take you to come and ask for joining forces? This Nightmare Palace is extremely dangerous, with almost half the chance of falling. If I can really be with him, the possibility of returning alive will definitely increase greatly, but it's a pity..." said the gray-haired young man very regretfully.
Murong Shuang, who was behind the two brothers, heard their conversation in his ears, and a strange look flashed across his face.
At another corner of the hall, Zhong Jinlong's eyes flashed slightly at Zhong Chen from a distance. Seeing that the Zhong Tai brothers and Murong Shuang left him one after another, they snorted coldly and withdrew their gaze.
At this time, one of the several direct disciples who surrounded him said viciously: "Brother Jinlong, Brother Zhong Tai is overestimating his abilities and wants to gather people to compete with our direct descendants. After entering the Nightmare Palace, should you find an opportunity to teach them a lesson so that they can know the real gap between the legitimate and the illegitimate one and two more."
"The Nightmare Palace is so vast that we can only stay in it for two months, so we don't have time to spend on useless things. After entering, when we really meet the disciples of the common people, we can give them some trouble without looking for them specifically. My real opponent this time is Tang Hongling, Yue Qianchou and even Zhong Daotian and others." Zhong Jinlong said without hesitation.
"Brother Jinlong is right, I'm still shallow in my opinion. As long as Brother Jinlong can get such things from the Nightmare Palace this time, even Zhong Daotian and the others will have to obey the sanctions in the future." The direct disciple who started talking changed his mind, but his voice suddenly lowered a lot, and there was a look of excitement between his eyebrows.
"Didn't I say that you are not allowed to mention that thing outside? If you have any similar words in the future, you will hold them back to my stomach." Zhong Jinlong's face darkened and he shouted in a low voice.
"Yes, it's my fault, I will never make it again in the future."
"That's right, you forgot what Brother Jinlong said before you set off."
"Zhong Tian, you must pay more attention in the future."
The other people surrounded by Zhong Jinlong also lowered their voices.
The legitimate son of the Zhong family who started talking could only be called yes.
Seeing this, Zhong Jinlong's face calmed down a little.
...
Outside, at the highest eaves of the Chiguang Hall, Zhong Daotian sat on it, holding a white handkerchief and wiping the black spear in his hand, and was extremely focused, as if nothing outside of him could distract him from his attention.
"Zhong Daotian, you are so calm. Didn't you see Zhong Jinlong forming a gang below?" At this moment, a pleasant woman's voice suddenly came from behind Zhong Daotian. There was an extra girl figure, which was Zhong Yiyun.
This woman looked at Zhong Daotian with a strange elf.
"Silly! If it were a few years ago, Zhong Jinlong could barely keep up with you and me, but now he can no longer be with you and me." Zhong Daotian still slowly wiped the black spear in his hand and said without looking back.
"Oh? It seems that you have really made great progress this time. You dare to say such words easily." The girl was slightly stunned, then covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Hmph, you girl is the same. Since the foundation building is complete, you have been practicing in the secret pool. I think it has increased significantly compared to the beginning. Zhong Jinlong just doesn't understand that the fundamental strength of our immortal cultivators is that they are strong in their personal strength, and they can even transcend the entire world in the end. He pursues the art of power before the horse, so how can he still put it in my eyes?" Zhong Daotian snorted.
"It's true, but I have received news that Zhong Jinlong entered the Nightmare Palace this time, not only pursuing Taiyi Pill, but also trying to find another thing. It is said that if he can get this thing, it would be easy for him to achieve the top-grade Jin Pill." The girl blinked and said.
"If an external object can easily achieve the top-grade golden elixir, Yiyun, do you think there will be so few Nascent Soul powerhouses now? Even if there is such a treasure, it will at most help. The most important thing is to depend on yourself." Zhong Daotian said bluntly.
"Hehe, I'll feel relieved after hearing what you said. By the way, I heard that your younger brother has also entered the Nightmare Palace. He heard that he is very strong and is one of the best among the common disciples. The brothers who fight tigers and fight father and sons to fight. If he assists you, maybe you will really get what you want this time. If you have the chance, introduce it to me." Zhong Yiyun chuckled and did not wait for the other party to reply. His figure shook and turned into a stream of blue smoke and disappeared out of thin air.
When Zhong Daotian heard Zhong Chen's name, his hand was wiping the spear for the first time, but then he returned to normal. His face did not change at all during the whole process, as if he had never heard the last few words of a girl.
On a seemingly ordinary yellow boat, four stiff-faced people stood at the front of the bow, silently looking at the huge flying magic weapon of the Tang, Zhong and Yue families in the distance.
After a while, a man with a seemingly short body made a slap and low laugh.
"Ye Xiao, why are you laughing at?" Another man in a yellow robe asked with a frown.
"I have always been accustomed to being arrogant in the Xiaoxian family. This time, the three young generations are the most outstanding disciples. If they are all destroyed in the Nightmare Palace, they may not be able to fall into a dilemma of being inconsistent within more than a hundred years. At that time, opportunities for other forces will come." The short man's words were filled with an indescribable viciousness.
"Ye Xiao, I know you have a great grudge with the immortal family, but this action was planned by the adults himself, and even the clones that had just been sacrificed were sent out. If your extreme actions ruin a big deal, even if you want to die, you will be a dream." The man in the robe scolded bluntly.
"Giant spirit, you don't need to use your master to suppress me. I know how to do it without you. This time, we volunteered to take the magic pill and forced our cultivation from the golden pill to the perfect state of foundation building. Isn't it just that we can grasp this journey a little more. Having said that, if we succeed, I'm afraid that the Nightmare Palace will no longer exist. At that time, the children of these three clans will be dead, so why should I do this too much?" the short man said.
"It's good that you know." The man in the robe stopped saying anything more after hearing this.
