Not long after Zhao Yi left, the four men in black who had come out with him and were obviously subordinates of the Fifth Elder suddenly appeared at the door of the hall. Looking at the direction in which Zhao Yi and the others were leaving, one of them led
The man in black gave a disdainful sneer, then waved his hand and led the other three people to open the door of the hall and walked in.
The fifth elder on the throne still looked like he was asleep, with his eyes closed.
After the leading man in black brought the remaining three people to the center of the hall, he respectfully said to the fifth elder on the throne: "Master, Zhao Yi and the other three have left!"
After his words fell, there was no sound in the hall. After the fifth elder heard his words, there was no reaction for a while, but the man in black did not show any impatience and remained respectful.
This is my own way of saluting.
After a while, the fifth elder yawned, as if he had just woken up, and touched his face hard with his dead branch-like fingers: "It's good that Zhao Yi and the three of them left. Some things still need to be done."
It's a good thing they don't know!" His cold voice sounded.
"Master, since Zhao Yi and the others do not obey your discipline, why did the sect master let them follow us here, while the senior brother and the others stayed in the sect." The man in black said in confusion.
"Haha! Sixth!" The fifth elder smiled and touched his beard and said: "Do you think I don't want to bring your senior brothers here? I have already told the sect master and the others before coming here.
Many times, when I go out to look for resources this time, I have to bring my direct descendants with me so that we can have unified command if something happens, and the sect leader has already agreed to my request."
"Then why did Senior Brother and the others not come in the end, but Zhao Yi and the others followed us here?" Lao Liu asked curiously.
"Humph, why?" The fifth elder snorted coldly: "It's not like the old immortal second elder, he was afraid that I would take all the credit this time, so I don't know what he secretly said to the sect master in the end, before we set off
Before, your senior brother and the others were all kept here, but Zhao Yi, the third disciple of that old second elder, followed us here! I had already told the sect leader at that time, but he asked me to carry out the order.
That’s it.”
"Could it be that the Second Elder is afraid that you will find abundant cultivation resources when you come out this time, and your reputation in the sect will surpass him, so he asked his people to follow us here. If there is any merit in the future, there will definitely be
It’s his share!” Lao Liu said.
"Well, I think that's the case. Now the second elder is the only one in the sect who can fight me and oppose me everywhere. If I really make a great contribution this time, his position as the second elder will probably be the same.
You won’t be able to sit so peacefully!” The fifth elder sneered and said, “Back then, I went from an ordinary junior disciple to an inner sect elder step by step, and then to a core elder, and finally surpassed so many previous seniors and reached the level of ten thousand.
The respected fifth elder was so fast that even the sect leader was very surprised, so this time the sect leader agreed to the second elder's suggestion at the last moment, probably to balance the power between us."
"Hmph, I knew that the second elder sent Zhao Yi and the others here with no good intentions. I didn't expect that they were here to snatch the credit!" Lao Liu said angrily. Although he is a junior disciple, he is obviously a fifth elder.
As a sect member, the more he hates an enemy like the Second Elder, the more favor he will gain from the Fifth Elder.
Sure enough, after he finished saying this, the fifth elder nodded with satisfaction and said: "Let the second elder sit in that position for a few more days. After I return with my meritorious service this time, this position will definitely be mine.
In addition, the cultivation resources here are so rich, after two years, my strength is probably on par with his! By then, I have made such a great contribution, I am afraid that it is the sect leader and those who
The reclusive Supreme Elder and the Grand Elder were not able to cover up my merits, and they cannot turn a blind eye to the fact that I have paid so much."
"Yes, the sect leader will definitely improve your status, master. Otherwise, it will hurt the hearts of all the disciples. Those who have meritorious service will not be able to obtain the corresponding status and benefits. Then who else will be devoted to the sect?
You are loyal!" Lao Liu said respectfully: "Disciple here would like to congratulate Master in advance for your success in being promoted to the status of second elder after returning to Tianming Continent. After a while, you will probably become the great elder.
The position belongs to you!" A silent flatterer immediately made the Fifth Elder smile with joy.
"Okay, okay, master likes to hear what you say, but this second elder is enough. As for the status of the great elder, I still dare not covet it! After all, I also respect the great elder.
, and the great elder’s cultivation is not even sure that even the sect master can suppress it, so it is not something I can deal with!”
But when he said this, he suddenly changed the topic: "But with the cultivation level of the Great Elder, I will definitely be promoted to the Supreme Elder after a while. By then, it will be logical for me to become the next Great Elder."
Elder, so I still have a chance to take the position of great elder!" Obviously for the fifth elder, the second elder cannot satisfy his ambition. The great elder or even a higher status is his ultimate goal.
Target!
"Ah! Could it be that the Great Elder is about to reach that level now? Isn't that stronger than the sect leader?" Lao Liu asked in surprise after hearing what the Fifth Elder said.
"Well, the great elder is a little stronger than the sect master, but the sect master controls the most powerful magic weapon in the sect, so in terms of overall strength, the great elder is not the sect master's opponent. When he said this, his tone suddenly changed.
After a pause, he continued: "And I estimate that the sect master is about to reach that level, so it is estimated that the sect master's position will be vacant after a while!" When he said this, his eyes also emitted a dazzling light.
, obviously when he was talking about the position of Sect Leader, he was very tempted. It is estimated that this is also one of his goals, but if he wants to achieve it, it must be a coincidence, otherwise he will be the first to take the position.
If the great elder is the case, then he will never have the chance to obtain the position of the sect leader, so now it depends on his chances, but in the final analysis, he still has a high chance of obtaining the position of the sect leader!
After hearing his words, the four people below, including Lao Liu, all showed a look of joy. Obviously, if the fifth elder becomes the sect leader or the great elder, as the direct descendants of the fifth elder, their status in the sect will be
There will definitely be a big improvement. Thinking of how they will show off their power in the door in the future, the smiles on their faces are like waves, rippling in all directions.
"By the way, Lao Liu, how is the king of the Tuba Kingdom that you are responsible for guarding? You must keep a close eye on this person and don't let him have any problems. After all, before we reveal his identity, he
It still has a great effect and can ward off a lot of suspicions for us!" The fifth elder suddenly asked at this time.
"Master, don't worry. I have locked that king in a secret room and left the Soul-Destroying Insect in his mind. If he does anything strange, I can feel it through the female insect."
Liu Xin said emphatically, obviously having great confidence in the ability of the Soul-Destroying Insects he mentioned.
"Well, I'm relieved if there are soul-destroying bugs, but you must also control the soul-destroying bugs in his mind. You must not let him kill this king. We also need to control the things he does to him.
The subordinates are giving orders!" The fifth elder smiled reassuringly after hearing what Lao Liu said, obviously he also had great confidence in the ability of the Soul-Destroying Insects.
"Yes, master, I will arrange everything properly, and make sure that the king's men cannot see any flaws, and I will also arrange it in the minds of those close to him.
The soul-destroying insects make this king look more like a normal person." Lao Liu said, but he seemed a little cautious, because he did these things on a temporary basis and did not notify the fifth elder, so this
At that time, he was a little afraid of being blamed by the Fifth Elder, so he seemed a little cautious.
Giving Lao Liu a reassuring look, the Fifth Elder smiled and said: "Well, Lao Liu, you did a good job, and I'm very satisfied with it, so I won't take it to heart if you don't want to report anything to me.
, but if you want to do anything else in the future, you must let me know in advance, do you understand?"
"Yes, if this disciple does anything in the future, he must first tell the master before taking action!" When Lao Liu heard the fifth elder's words, he immediately felt as if he had been granted amnesty and hurriedly said respectfully.
"Okay, please retreat. It is estimated that the Longming Empire's army will arrive in a few days. During that time, you guys will serve as guests of the Tuba Kingdom, helping the king to deal with the enemy and solve this matter with ordinary force.
It is the best thing, but once a cultivator fights with you, you must not easily reveal your identity and true strength. Although I have leaked our information in advance to all the forces in Xuanming Continent
, but this is the pride of our sect. We cannot be intimidated by any force, but it is necessary to reveal our true identity later, you know?" The fifth elder arranged for Lao Liu and the others: "This
I won’t go out this time. I guess a few of you will be enough. After all, you have two masters at the early stage of Heaven Level. But you have to remember that if the other party doesn’t have any powerful practitioners, you and Zhao Yi can’t take action either.
, just let a few of the fucking cultivation bases or earth-level people take action, this will probably reduce some of their suspicions!"
"Yes, Master, I have remembered all your words! I will definitely do what you asked. If there is nothing else, the disciple will go out to make arrangements, and it is time for the king to eat!" Lao Liu said respectfully.
.
After waving his hands, the fifth elder closed his eyes again and fell asleep. As for whether he really fell asleep, no one knew, and no one dared to test it.
He exited gently, and then gently closed the door of the hall. Lao Liu gave instructions to the three people around him, and then left with one of them. As for the remaining two people, they walked towards the other one.
Walking in the same direction, they looked at the location of King Tuba's secret chamber. Apparently they were not yet at ease with Zhao Yi and the others.
