"Master Cheng, you came to us with such momentum, what's the matter?"
While Gu Zheng and Meng Zhen were acting, at the main entrance of the Huahun clan, several elders were already standing there, leading a few of their men, directly blocking the door, looking at a muscular man in front of them, with a naked upper body and a more handsome face.
It has only one red eye that keeps rotating, which is very strange.
"The King of Heaven asked me to search for those who broke into the forbidden area of the back mountain. The fifth elder will not want to stop them."
Although there were only a few black ghost generals following Master Cheng, their momentum was not inferior at all. Faced with the intimidation of several elders, no one even showed any intention of backing down.
"Forbidden area? We didn't go there, or is it Master Cheng's own opinion?" The fifth elder stood at the front, not giving in at all, and said with a cold snort, his delicate face staring at the eyeball in front of him.
"How dare I pretend to be the King of Heaven, Mingliang? I have definite evidence. If one of you sneaks over, don't make it difficult for me. After all, that person is definitely not one of your clansmen." Lord Cheng looked at the elders in front of him with a headache.
Even though he is a special demon soul, he has no confidence in facing the opponent in a battle of the same level. He is weird and powerful, but the opponent is even more elusive. He must not be impulsive, otherwise there are so many people on the opponent, and he
It will look ugly.
"You mean it's not true? The last time you searched, it resulted in the death of one of our tribesmen. We can't forget this. If you want to search, you can, but the king of heaven must come. You are not qualified." The third elder did not ask the other party's reason.
He flatly refused.
"The King of Heaven has something to do and has no time to separate. You can follow me. As long as I catch him, I will leave. It has nothing to do with you."
As Wen Tianhou's most trusted subordinate, Lord Cheng certainly knows what he is doing, and he is constantly criticizing these painting souls in his heart. However, he still has to go in now and cannot quarrel with them any longer.
He was a little worried now, whether the other party was trying to hide something by delaying it for so long, but he knew that there was nothing he could do. The other party would not give way, and he could not rush in even with force.
Mobilize personal guards? I'm afraid that all the personal guards put together may not be the opponent of these people.
This is also the reason why they have not gone out here. Wen Tianhou has to look at each other personally, especially the origin of the other party's identity. Even Wen Tianhou is wary of the other party, so he can only slow down the other party's speed. As long as the other party does not go out, he is here to buy some time.
.
"Don't worry, if I make any other moves, I'll be at your disposal."
In order to capture that person, he once again spoke harsh words. The black stick in his hand had already reacted. The other person was definitely not far from here.
Speaking of which, in the entire palace, there is no other place to hide except here. Those empty houses outside
"Third Sister, since the other party has said so, what if we let him in? Anyway, the other party also said that he cannot be one of ours." Behind the third elder, another elder said.
"Seventh sister, that's not what you said. If you open the door, it will be difficult to talk about it in the future. Anyway, we will never get out of the way until the King of Heaven comes."
Behind the seventh elder, another sixth elder also spoke. If Gu Zheng were here, he would find that the other party was the one among the three elders who first met.
"Sixth Sister, I think Seventh Sister is right. Since the other party is like this, it must be the King of Heaven who has given the order to die. Otherwise, the other party will not harass them if they know it. Send them away quickly. They are not our people anyway." Behind him.
The fourteenth elder opened his mouth to persuade.
This time, their people must be involved in going in. Otherwise, how could outsiders enter the back without knowing it? Only they have the ability and dare to go in. Haven't they made many mistakes before?
Since the other party doesn't pursue the case this time, it saves time to quarrel with the other party. No matter who it is, no matter how they are seduced into it, as long as it is not one's own tribe, the others really don't care at all.
The others understood what the Fourteenth Elder meant, which was to let them leave quickly. Anyway, the other party could not catch them, so it had nothing to do with them.
"No, if you want to go in, the King of Heaven must come, otherwise I won't let you go."
The third elder stood outside and flatly refused, not giving any face to his own people.
At this time, the Prime Minister was also in a dilemma. He didn't know what to do. The longer the delay went on, the other party might hide himself.
Perhaps at that time, Heavenly King would have to come to find him, but with the current situation, Heavenly King would never come, and he knew this.
"Why is it so noisy here? What happened?"
At this moment, a lazy voice came from behind, and everyone looked over and shouted respectfully.
"Second sister!"
The voices rose and fell with each other, and even the third elder stood aside to get out of the way and shouted respectfully.
Because they came here thanks to the efforts of the clan leader and the two elders, otherwise they would not be able to come here at all, let alone start to breed here, and even take over the clansmen there if they have the chance. It was all difficult for them in the early stage.
Only by pioneering can we come over.
Now the clan leader's life and death are unknown, and the first elder has not come out for many years, which makes everyone very worried. However, the second elder took the lead to stand out among everyone, and did not come out much until he returned to normal.
Only so many people can come, or they secretly use other methods to come. Even if the clan leader threatens Wen Tianhou not to reveal their affairs, they will not hinder their plan. Anyway, they have found this suitable place and are ready to stay away.
There's a whirlpool over there.
Normally, the second elder would stay in seclusion in one place and would not come out at all. He did not expect that he would disturb her this time. This was something that no one expected.
The third elder immediately told the whole story, and also added his own and other sisters' opinions.
"So that's it." The second elder pondered for a moment, slowly looked at everyone, and then continued,
"I thought it was a big problem, but it turned out to be this small problem."
"I need to be quiet during this period. Don't be upset. Just let the other person go in and take a look. You stay with the other person and look at the other person carefully."
"And you, you can stay in there for an hour at most. No matter whether it's resolved or not, you have to come out. You can't stay here."
"You are willing!"
The second elder looked both ways with majestic eyes.
"We shall abide by it ourselves!"
The other elders spoke together. Since it was the second elder who spoke, they would not raise objections even if they were reluctant.
"Thank you, Second Elder. It won't take that long. If there are any mistakes, I am willing to bear the responsibility!"
Master Cheng was overjoyed and spoke directly.
"Go in, don't try to cause anything, I will keep an eye on you." The third elder looked at him coldly and said with the same coldness.
"Don't worry, I won't."
Lord Cheng also looked over unyieldingly and walked in along the path exposed by everyone. Naturally, he was followed by the third elder.
After the second elder briefly greeted everyone, he went back again. The others also dispersed. Several elders followed Mr. Cheng, accompanying the third elder and watching each other to prevent the other party from doing anything.
Master Cheng didn't take it seriously. The black stick in his hand shone slightly, clearly conveying the person's position to him.
Even though it was his first time here, he felt as if he had been here before. After turning left and right, he soon came to a courtyard.
"I don't know, Third Elder, what kind of place is this?" Master Cheng looked at this obviously different courtyard, his eyes turned, he turned to the Third Elder, and his voice sounded in the air out of thin air.
"There is also a detention center in our parliament place. Do you think the other party is here?" The third elder had no expression on his face and did not give the other party a good look at all.
"Of course, I'm going to take a look at your detention center, and I'll ask the third elder to open the passage, so that I won't destroy it and it won't look good." Master Cheng pointed at the courtyard and said.
He could feel the aura below, but it was covered by a very powerful formation. If it weren't for the black rod in his hand, he might have been able to hide it.
"snort"
The third elder snorted coldly. Although he didn't want to open it for the other party, he still raised his head when he thought of the second sister's order. Seeing this, an elder behind him stepped forward directly. After some dilly-dallying, he still opened a huge hole in the middle.
Burrow.
"excuse me."
As Master Cheng said, he jumped down quickly without stopping. He just dodged a few times and arrived at the place he sensed.
When he saw that position, his pupils suddenly turned red. The third elder who was following behind him was happy, but he didn't show it and just spoke lightly.
"Master Cheng, we once detained a prisoner in this place, but he was already executed by us when you came here. There must be no traces left behind after his death."
Regarding the newly broken wood next to it, ignore the past and directly define the other party as dead.
In the place where Xu Jia was originally imprisoned, there was only a black light group suspended in the air. It exuded a strong aura, but it disturbed Master Cheng and successfully attracted him, which wasted time.
"It's not time yet, I'm taking a closer look." Mr. Cheng ignored the third elder's unconcealed ridicule and closed his eyes directly.
The black stick in his hand became even brighter at this time, and wisps of black mist continued to pour out from it, condensing into a thin line in the air, directly penetrating the void, and disappeared without a trace.
"it's here!"
Master Cheng's eyes suddenly opened and he moved quickly again.
No matter how the opponent covers it up, as long as the mark on his body is still there, it is impossible to avoid his detection. Even if he tries his best to cover him, the black stick in his hand can help him break through all obstacles, unless the person who helps the opponent cover up has a cultivation level exceeding
Warm weather.
However, in the entire Painted Soul Clan, except for the clan leader, there is no master who can surpass the human soul and become an immortal soul. Naturally, it is impossible to completely block his detection.
There was absolutely nothing wrong this time, and his figure was approaching quickly, but when he was about to arrive, his figure suddenly stagnated in the air, and then he raised the black stick in his hand, and the wisp of black mist unexpectedly
broken.
"What's the matter? Sir Cheng, do you want to help?" The third elder followed behind him. Upon seeing this, a smile appeared on his lips, and then he took it back and said.
Lord Cheng did not speak, but moved again and soon stopped in front of a dilapidated house.
"Who is coming?"
Outside this small dilapidated house, there was an elder stationed there. When he saw Master Cheng and the others coming here, he stood up from his position and shouted.
"I want to go in and find someone, and they will disappear right here." Master Cheng said in a deep voice.
There is actually an elder sitting in this small place, which is obviously not an ordinary place.
"Wantless, what kind of place is this? In fact, you can come in as soon as you say. Even if Wen Tianhou comes, you can't go in." The elder of the guard immediately scolded the Prime Minister with a sullen face.
If it weren't for the many elders following behind her, she might have already taken action by now.
"Master Cheng, this is not another place. It is the place where the scrolls of our ancestors are enshrined. If you don't know, you'd better ask for permission. After all, no one can enter here." The third elder said with a half-smile.
Mr. Cheng looked in front of him silently. Even though he knew that the other party had entered here, but seeing the other party's appearance, even the elders next to him began to prepare to take action. Once he tried to force his way in, he might be surrounded in an instant. He would definitely not be able to go in now. He could only
Let’s talk about it when we get back.
Moreover, he also knew that this place was not suitable for forced entry.
"I will report it to the King of Heaven, and I will remember all of you."
After a long time, Lord Cheng said a harsh word and walked outside. He knew in his heart that the King of Heaven asked him not to completely anger this party, and to come to settle accounts with them later when the plan is successful.
"Go slowly and don't see me off!" The third elder shouted loudly from the side, causing the Prime Minister to speed up his pace.
"If the second sister hadn't agreed to let him in, how could the other party have come in? There would have been no search even if he had done it. He would have been given an advantage by walking out so safely."
An elder behind him looked at the other person's disappearing figure and said.
Just now she wanted to do something to the other party, but was stopped by the third elder.
As everyone dispersed, the second elder appeared in the distance and walked towards this side.
"Don't say so much. The other party is a close confidant of the King of Heaven. He can't hide it from the King of Heaven. Why bother to anger the other party? What we ask now is time. We are waiting until Mengshui becomes the leader of the clan. Then we will contact the clan leader. At that time, we will ask
Ask." The third elder said to the sisters behind him.
"We know what we need now is time."
Everyone behind them also nodded. Of course they knew the worries of the third elder.
"Did they go in?" The third elder came to the gatekeeper and said respectfully.
"I went in and specifically told me to call her out when the blessing ceremony was about to begin. She said she knew the instructions and would not go deep inside," the gatekeeper said calmly.
"That's troublesome. Please take care of the child Mengzhen." After hearing this, the third elder breathed a sigh of relief.
The gatekeeper nodded, then sat back down in his seat and closed his eyes.
"Let's leave and do whatever we need to do."
The third elder also dispersed the people behind him. As for Xu Jia, who had disappeared, it didn't matter whether he left or not. Now that he had a choice, making a decision earlier might reduce some casualties.
Just as Master Cheng was outside trying to find a way to get in, Meng Zhen and Gu Zheng had already come out of the dungeon.
"Can the one you left behind interfere with the other party?"
While following Mengzhen, Gu Zheng asked curiously.
In the dungeon, that group of shadows had a strange aura and could really confuse the other party. He really didn't believe it, it felt too fake.
"As long as the King of Heaven doesn't come in person, the other party will definitely be attracted. I feel that the elders can't stop the other party, so we have to hurry up." Meng Zhen also said confidently.
"If that's true, that's great. Where should we go now?" Gu Zheng continued to ask without pursuing further.
Because the other party is already blocking the door, even if you can get out from the side, you may be caught by the other party before you leave the city. With the other party's mark on your body, you can't get rid of the other party at all.
"Let's go to the Ancestor Picture Scroll to avoid it. The other party will definitely not be able to get in." Meng Zhen said with certainty.
"Ancestor Picture Scroll?"
Gu Zheng has heard it several times, but he still doesn't quite understand. Could a scroll be used by the ancestors to avoid being searched by the other party?
"Of course, you don't know now. I'll tell you when the time comes. It'll be there soon."
Following Mengzhen's pointing, Gu Zheng looked along and saw a building that was completely incompatible with this place appearing in the distance.
You must know that the decoration here is very exquisite. Suddenly, a large stone house made of irregular stones appeared. I don’t know how long it has been there. Many of the stones outside are broken a lot. It feels like it is shaky and will collapse at any time. Compared with the one in the distance
, I simply can’t believe that such an ancient building exists.
And at the door, there was a gatekeeper wearing shabby clothes. She was sitting quietly on a stone pillar with her eyes closed. Her messy hair covered most of her face, but she could still see her body.
It seems to be integrated with the stone pillars below.
Unmoving as a mountain, like an ascetic practicing in seclusion, not afraid of anything, just giving the feeling of ancient struggle.
"Great Elder, Great Elder!" Lao Yuan Mengzhen began to shout.
The great elder slowly opened his eyes and looked at the two people rushing in from a distance. When his eyes glanced at Gu Zheng, he felt a tremor in his heart. It seemed that all the secrets in his heart had been seen through by the other party.
"It's terrible. Is this Great Elder that powerful?"
Gu Zheng didn't even feel the other party's cultivation. She was just like an ordinary person, very inconspicuous, and there was no aura on her body, so people subconsciously ignored her.
"What are you doing here?" The great elder said slowly as he looked at the two people running in front of him.
"I came to seek refuge. This is my sweetheart. For some reason, I was wanted by the King of Heaven. Now the other party has come to the door. If I don't go in, it is very likely to be discovered by the other party. At that time, it is very likely to be directly discovered by the other party.
The other party will be teleported away," Meng Zhen said simply and quickly.
"No, outsiders cannot enter the ancestral scrolls, not even your beloved." The great elder closed his eyes and didn't care about the life or death of the ancient dispute.
"Great Elder, let's hide outside for a while. We won't cause trouble anymore. Last time I was just a kid, but this time I am definitely more measured." Meng Zhen said again, but the Great Elder was unmoved at all and sat there.
Even if she wasn't guarding the door, Meng Zhen didn't dare to go in from the side. Upon seeing this, he gritted his teeth and directly threw out his scroll, shrouding her and the great elder so that Gu Zheng outside didn't know what the other party was talking about.
Soon the two parties appeared outside again. This time the great elder seemed to be convinced by Meng Zhen. He glanced at Gu Zheng and then closed his eyes.
"Come in soon." Mengzhen looked at Gu Zheng who was still stunned, shouted to him, and then walked in from the side.
Gu Zheng came to his senses and followed her in.
At this time, Master Cheng had already walked out of the dungeon and rushed here quickly.
