After Tian Yuan and others left Yunjing, they did not immediately go to the retreat place of the head of the Haoran Sect. Instead, they took the lead in convening some of the main figures of the Haoran Sect for discussion.
The content of the discussion revolved around whether to alert the boss to inform him of Yun Jing's arrival and perhaps help him recover from his injuries.
The process was intense and almost one-sided. Those who disagreed alarmed the leader, some were neutral, and only a few agreed.
The opponents have very good reasons. Yunjing's origins are unknown, and God knows if he has an ulterior motive. Moreover, the leader is already injured. If Yunjing takes advantage of the opportunity, who will bear the adverse consequences?
The only valid reason for the few supporters is that this may be an opportunity for the leader to recover as much as possible, but these people are not sure, and the gamble is very high.
In short, after a long discussion, there was no clear result.
Let’s not talk about whether they should alert the leader or not. The problem they have to face now is that Yunjing is still waiting for an answer. He is a mythical person. If the time is delayed for a long time, the consequences will be quite serious if he offends the other party.
serious.
Mr. Yun helped out of good intentions, but they were not sure how to reply to him? Who would reply to him?
In fact, it's just a sentence, but it can't withstand the pressure brought by Yunjing Mythical Realm. It will inevitably make people think too much, for fear of being offended in the slightest.
It was already afternoon, and he still had no idea. Tian Yuan simply gritted his teeth and said: "Listen to me, Mr. Yun's reply cannot take too long. There must always be an explanation. Besides, it concerns the leader. Let's talk about it again."
It's all meaningless. It's better to disturb him and inform him about Mr. Yun's arrival. By the way, mention Mr. Yun's initiative to help heal his injuries. As for the decision, it's up to the leader himself. What do you think?"
"Senior Brother Tian, I don't think it's right. The leader is retreating to heal his wounds and interrupting rashly. What if something goes wrong at the critical moment?" Someone immediately retorted.
Some people even said: "When the leader is injured, if he hears that someone is helping him heal his injury, he is in a hurry and agrees to go to the doctor. In the end, Mr. Yun of unknown origin takes the opportunity to take action. Who will bear the consequences? You or me? Who can afford it?
"
Whatever you said to me, the reasons were all valid. Tian Yuan also had a headache. In the end, he simply struggled: "If this doesn't work, that won't work, what should you do? You can't just drag it out like this."
As soon as he said these words, a group of people present fell silent for a while and said in unison: "It all depends on Senior Brother Tian."
Tian Yuan wanted to hit someone after hearing this. You all objected to anything I said, but in the end, I left the problem to you and it was all up to me. I guess if I say anything else, you will definitely object!
This makes people very confused. There is nothing that can be done. He, Tian Yuan, is only the deputy head. There are many things that he cannot make the final decision like the head does. They have to be discussed, especially when the matter itself is designed by the head himself.
Rubbing the center of his brows, it was not possible to continue like this. Tian Yuan said in a deep voice: "Now, let's all disperse. Do what you should do. I will inform the leader and let him make the decision... If anything happens, I will
Take it all!"
After saying that, he didn't care about anyone else, turned around and left. It was too difficult for him to be the deputy leader, so he simply cut the mess quickly and took action first. He couldn't control much else.
Damn, who are these people? They don’t want to take responsibility and leave the decision-making to me, but you object to what I say. Where is this? You have such a capable leader...forget it, I’m a little reluctant to give up.
Seeing that Tian Yuan was determined, he turned around and left quickly without saying a word. The group of people suddenly became anxious. They said everything, some said to stop him quickly, and some shouted: "You'll take it, can you afford it?"
Angrily scolding Tian Yuan, you really think of yourself as the leader.
However, Tian Yuan was very fast and few people could catch up.
In fact, Tian Yuan is not the only person in the Haoran Sect who is qualified to communicate with the leader, plus he has three. This is to prevent someone from being unable to communicate with the leader in time due to an accident at a critical moment.
However, when the leader is in seclusion, no one will bother him rashly if it is a matter of vital importance.
Tian Yuan made up his mind to contact the leader. His original intention was to hope that the leader could recover from his injuries as soon as possible. He just wanted to inform him that the decision-making power rested with the leader himself. It didn’t seem like a big problem. Moreover, as a leader, it was unreasonable for him to be alarmed by such a thing.
Defensible.
After leaving the place of discussion, Tian Yuan soon appeared in an inconspicuous valley in the back mountain of Haoran Sect. There was a small cave deep in the valley, which was the place where the head retreated.
The place where the master retreats is not a forbidden place. After all, any place where such beings are located can be said to be a forbidden place. He can naturally see whoever he wants to see, but you can't see anyone he doesn't want to see in front of you.
This valley is very ordinary, but after arriving here, Tian Yuan instinctively lowered his posture, feeling a little depressed, and there was an invisible aura that filled his heart with awe.
When he came to this valley, two more people came here one after another. They were all in the late stage of Zhenyijing, and they were also people from the Haoran Sect who were qualified to contact the leader. Otherwise, regardless of whether this valley is undefended, the others
People can't even get close, so they subconsciously choose to stay away.
The mythical realm is so extraordinary that it can affect a person invisibly.
"Are you here to stop me?" Tian Yuan looked at the two arriving people in pain.
One of them shook his head and said: "Junior Brother Tian, we are not here to stop you. You are the deputy leader. It is your right to contact the leader. Our Haoran Sect follows rules. We are here just to remind you. Really
Have you thought about it?"
"Yes, Senior Brother Tian, we can't stop you, but we have the obligation to remind you that once the leader is alerted and an accident occurs, it is not one person's fault. Please think twice. We have finished talking, please do as you please."
After saying that, the two people he brought behind consciously retreated far away. They didn't care, but they didn't leave either. They were both elders of the Haoran Sect, and they hadn't seen the leader for a while.
Tian Yuan, who had already made up his mind, hesitated after hearing what they said.
The Haoran clan has great achievements, but he is just the deputy head. His position is hard-earned.
I can't say that he is indecisive, I can only say that he is relatively tactful. Perhaps because of this, he is only the deputy head, and the head does not dare to really delegate power to him, so it is true that sometimes personality determines fate.
If the leader is notified, Mr. Yun can really help him recover from his injuries. This is an opportunity for Tian Yuan, and his status in the leader's mind will definitely be improved. However, if something bad happens, Tian Yuan will have to bear the consequences.
, how to choose?
It was originally a very simple matter, but at their level, they had to consider it carefully. This is the reality.
However, at this time, in the cave deep in the valley, in the stone room tens of meters deep, there were only simple stone tables and beds and other items. It was very simple and not at all like the place where people imagined that the head of the Haoran Sect's mythical realm would retreat.
The elegance in it plays.
For the existence of the mythical realm, external objects are no longer important, and you can be happy as long as you are happy.
On the stone bed, a figure wearing a dark blue robe sat cross-legged. He looked to be only in his thirties, at the peak of his life, but in fact he had lived for more than two hundred years.
He is Nangong Ming, the head of the Haoran Sect's Myth Realm. He is more than two hundred years old and at the level of the Myth Realm, he is equivalent to a young man in his twenties and thirties among ordinary people.
With a resolute face, he sat cross-legged on the stone bed, his eyebrows beating from time to time, and there was even cold sweat on his forehead, as if he was enduring great pain. Occasionally, he opened a gap with both sides open, seeming a little crazy.
If someone were here at this time, they would see that there were faint earthworm-like black textures spreading under his exposed skin, appearing and disappearing, and there was also some gray-black powder in the stone chamber, and the entire stone chamber was filled with a
A faint smell of evil and madness.
That kind of aura is very terrifying. The source is Nangong Ming himself, but he suppresses it. It comes and goes. If someone who is not in the mythical realm comes here, he will be instantly eroded by the aura and his consciousness will go crazy.
Nangong Ming was injured. Even at the level of the Mythical Realm, it was considered serious. For this level, physical injuries were nothing. Regeneration of severed limbs was very simple. What was really serious was the mental trauma and the injuries imprinted on the life level.
He suffered such an injury. The last time he went out to deal with the troublesome alien monsters, he only injured his arm, but after he came back, he could not recover even if he cut off his arm and regrown it. He had tried this many times.
The evil aura eroded his body and was imprinted on the origin of life. If the evil aura is not driven away, even if he chops himself into pieces and regrows himself, he will not be able to recover.
What's even worse is that the evil aura is eroding his life origin and growth, and is gradually beginning to erode his spiritual will, as if it wants to completely wipe out his consciousness and turn him into a monster who only knows how to kill.
He couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if he really fell into that situation. Once he went crazy in the mythical realm, it would be even more terrifying than a natural disaster!
At the moment, he could only try his best to suppress the evil aura, but countless crazy thoughts would pop up in his mind every moment, and he wished he could rush out and kill as he pleased.
Fortunately, being in the mythical realm, he has a strong will and can maintain a clear mind, knowing what to do and what not to do. If it were others, he would have turned into a demon long ago, but he didn't know how long he could hold on.
Things will definitely not be good if things continue like this.
what to do?
Just when he was suppressing the evil aura from corroding himself and thinking of a solution, his face suddenly changed, he opened his eyes and looked up into the distance slightly, his sight seemed to penetrate the void.
When he opened his eyes, his vision became clear, and the earthworm-like black texture under his skin disappeared, and he suppressed it temporarily.
But there was a wry smile on his face. It was true that the house was leaking and it was raining all night. His injuries had not recovered yet and his condition was extremely bad. An unknown and powerful enemy came to visit.
"In my current state, if I want to suppress that evil aura, I can only use half of my strength. The powerful enemy coming is unknown. If I can't deal with it, the consequences if I can't suppress that aura will be disastrous, but I can't let it go now, otherwise Hao
Ran Zong will no longer exist, and even the tens of millions of people who came to seek refuge under the mountain will die..."
Thoughts flashed in his mind, Nangong Ming knew that he had to come forward no matter what, so he first wiped out the evil and crazy atmosphere in the stone room, otherwise if he didn't pay attention, it would become a devil's nest that only knows killing. Ordinary people would accidentally come in
Any contamination will affect the Taoist mind and turn it into a demon and a heretic!
After eradicating the evil atmosphere in the stone chamber, Nangong Ming planned to leave the seclusion to deal with the powerful enemy first.
At the same time, he also discovered Tian Yuan and others in the valley outside. He knew that Tian Yuan and others would not disturb him unless necessary. Could it be that they came here because they felt the enemy was coming?
Thinking of this, Nangong Ming's figure appeared in the valley where Tian Yuan and others were. The enemy would still be here for some time, not less than an hour and a half.
Tian Yuan was hesitating whether to disturb Nangong Ming, when the other party appeared silently, not suddenly, as if he had always been there. The mythical realm was like this, as long as he was willing, his sudden appearance would not surprise anyone.
After realizing that the master was in front of him, Tian Yuan immediately lowered his head and bowed his hands in salute: "See the master, the disciple deserves to die. If you disturb the master, please punish me."
He thought it was his own appearance that caused Nangong Ming to come out of seclusion. He was worried and relieved at the same time. He was worried that the leader had been alerted, but he was relieved because the leader showed up on his own initiative and it was not me who knocked on the door.
"Why is Xiaotian here?" Nangong Ming waved his hands indifferently, not intending to blame him at all.
However, the young-looking man called Tian Yuan, who was in his seventies and eighty years old, "Xiao Tian", which actually didn't feel inappropriate at all.
At this time, the two people in the distance bent down and lowered their heads, with excited expressions on their faces. Even though they held high positions in the Haoran Sect, the head of the Mythical Realm was not someone they could just meet. It had been three years since they last met.
Or five years?
Naturally, Tian Yuan did not dare to beat around the bush and directly expressed his intention, saying: "Back to the master, there is a Yun Jing who claims to be from the Dali Dynasty and wants to visit the master. Like the master, he is a mythical realm cultivator. Let's have a chat with him.
, the disciple boldly said something about the master. After learning about it, he said that he might be able to help the master. The disciple did not dare to neglect and came here to inform the master. The master came out before he could do anything."
"I have heard of the Dali Dynasty. It is too far away from our Haoran Sect and I have never been there. I heard that the imperial power there is supreme. Even the mythical realm only coexists with the country rather than dominates it. It is a very powerful country.
There are more than one person from the Myth Realm alone, but I have never heard of a Myth Realm character named Yun Jing..." Nangong Mingwenyan said with a frown.
Of course he knew about Dali, but he had never been there, and he had never heard of a person like Yunjing. After all, Yunjing had only been at this level for a short time, and even Nangong Ming didn’t even know the current layout of several countries in Dali.
, the information transmission in this era is not that fast.
Tian Yuan Wenyan was startled and said anxiously: "Is that Yun Jing a swindler? Disciple deserves to die, he almost made a big mistake, let's get him..."
A person that the leader has never heard of cannot be from the realm of mythology. What is he other than a swindler? But why can he deceive himself and others? Tang Jiang also needs to be interrogated.
When you bring people here, you don’t understand them clearly first.
Just when he was thinking wildly, Nangong Ming said: "Don't be impatient. I haven't heard of it, which doesn't mean that the other party is fake. It should be noted that the powerful national mythical realm of Dali has never been broken. Recently, there was a
It’s normal for young people not to know…”
Opening his mouth to dispel Tian Yuan's worries, Nangong Ming continued: "He said he could help me? It seems that he is extremely confident in himself. I have been at this level for decades, but I am helpless in the current situation. Is he still in the sect? I doubt...
…”
In the second half of the sentence, Nangong Ming was speaking half to Tian Yuan and half to himself. Tian Yuan could not hear the part about being helpless.
As he spoke, Nangong Ming's senses in the mythical realm spread out to look for Yunjing. After finding it, he was startled and couldn't help but be surprised.
"Master, something happened?" Tian Yuan's heart sank when he heard his surprise.
However, Nangong Ming ignored him, but his eyes flickered and he said to himself: "Moisturizing things silently, the world is natural, it can be said that the light is the same as the dust. If he didn't take the initiative to show his breath, even I wouldn't be aware of his existence, and...!"
At the end of the sentence, Nangong Ming almost took a breath of air-conditioning and contributed to the world's greenhouse effect.
In the eyes of others, Yunjing is a living person of flesh and blood, but to his perception, it is clearly just a ray of consciousness!
With just a ray of consciousness, he can transform into a clone half of an ordinary person and walk around the world. What kind of method is this? Then how powerful must his true body be?
Naturally, Nangong Ming can separate his consciousness, but every time it is like cutting off a piece of his spiritual will. Such a price would not be incurred even once in a year or two, and it will take a long time to pay. Every time he does this
They are all permanent wounds, and the separated consciousness can only be attached to an object and become a one-time consumption method, let alone thousands of people walking and communicating like ordinary people!
The simplest example is that when Yunjing went to the Sanluo Dynasty, the late Master Deng gave him a few life-saving means. This is the common practice in the mythical realm, stripping off the consciousness and attaching it to an item, throwing it out at the critical moment and reducing it to disposable consumption.
It’s not impossible to communicate with others, but it will consume that part of consciousness, which will greatly reduce the powerful blow. If you communicate too much, it will have no life-saving effect. It can even be regarded as an object like that.
A dead thing...
Now, Yun Jing's consciousness clone has come to Haoran Sect and can still communicate like normal people. They are both in the mythical realm. In Nangong Ming's view, the other party is either unfathomable or recklessly splitting his own will into pieces.
Two halves, let the other half walk outside to show the saint, but the consequences of this will be permanent trauma to oneself. Even if the separated consciousness can be recovered, the consumption in the process will never be recovered. It is no different from committing suicide!
"Master?" Tian Yuan couldn't help but speak when he saw Nangong Ming's expression changed and he didn't speak.
Feeling ups and downs, Nangong Ming looked back at him and said, "Okay, I already know the matter. Just leave it to me. You don't need to worry about the rest..."
After saying this, he paused and shook his head and said: "You have neglected the distinguished guests. You should have welcomed them to the sect hall as soon as possible and informed me, instead of staying in a place where ordinary guests are entertained... Forget it, let's go there."
"
As soon as the words fell, Nangong Ming's figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Tian Yuan was stunned, chewing on Nangong Ming's words in his heart, and suddenly felt a little disappointed. Did he miss something? If he greeted the leader with a respectful attitude at the first time, would there be an opportunity? But everything he missed has been missed.
.
"Junior brother Tian, what did the leader tell you? Where is the leader?" Just when Tian Yuan was struggling, the other two people came over and asked.
They didn't dare to listen to a word of the previous exchange between Nangong Ming and Tian Yuan.
Feeling disappointed, Tian Yuan shook his head in a complicated tone and said: "It's nothing. The leader already knows and will communicate with Mr. Yun himself. There will be nothing for us next..."
As he spoke, Tian Yuan, with the idea that I could not suffer alone, said: "When the master left, he said that Mr. Yun was an honored guest and he should go to the sect hall to inform the master as soon as possible. We neglected him.
I am afraid that I have missed a huge opportunity. After all, if the other party is happy, even a casual pointer will be enough to benefit us for life."
"Ah this...", the two of them were stunned when they heard this, and immediately regretted it, but it was too late to say anything now.
Seeing the regret on their faces, Tian Yuan suddenly felt balanced and walked away with a sigh.
In the small courtyard, Yunjing felt the aura of the two-headed monster in the distance approaching this direction quickly. After a few breaths, he felt a spiritual wave from the mythical realm sweep across the back mountain of Haoran Sect.
Yunjing felt the aura of the Myth Realm when he set foot in Haoran Sect, and understood that the head of the Myth Realm of Haoran Sect was investigating something. He guessed that Tian Yuan and others notified him and were patrolling him.
However, the other party's mental fluctuations swept through him several times without stopping for a moment...
So Yunjing took the initiative to show some aura, and the next moment he was locked by the opponent's mental fluctuations.
Although they had never met before, Yunjing still nodded politely with a smile.
At the same time, he raised his eyebrows and thought to himself that although the leader of the Haoran Sect is in the Myth Realm, he seems to be inferior to Mr. Hong of Sanluo. Well, this place is backward after all. It is not easy to get into the Myth Realm. Requirements
It can't be too high either.
Moreover, Yunjing clearly felt that the other party was injured, his mental fluctuations were very unstable, and he also had a subtle evil and crazy aura that could not be detected, and he was obviously suppressed.
"The other party's situation is not good. The aura suppressed by him is a bit familiar. By the way, it is the monster hidden in the black mist. I guess the leader of the Haoran Sect dealt with that monster last time. He returned injured and went into seclusion.
Instead of healing the wound, it became more and more seriously corroded by the evil aura, just like being poisoned."
He muttered in his heart, and Yunjing was also a little speechless. If such a situation happened to him, Yunjing would have at least ten ways to get rid of the evil aura. The simplest one would be to work a miracle with great force, use the power of heaven and earth to force it out of the body, and transfer, purify and calcine.
Waiting for means, you can even turn against the other party. However, why did the leader of the Haoran Sect become more and more serious?
Looking at this situation, I might not be able to find help if I come to Haoran Sect.
Just when he was thinking a lot, Nangong Ming's figure appeared silently in the small courtyard.
When Nangong Ming came here, he faced Yun Jing. Even though Yun Jing was just a ray of consciousness, he straightened his clothes first, and then held his hands up with a smile and prepared to say hello.
Considering that he is just a ray of consciousness here, and the two-headed monster will arrive at any time, it will take some time for his true body to arrive, which is a matter of life and death for tens of millions of people. Nangong Ming has to stand up before his true body arrives.
, so Yunjing said without waiting for the other party to speak: "Senior's situation is not good, the situation is urgent, let's talk after greetings, it's more important to treat your injuries first."
Originally, Yunjing wanted to simply say, "Don't talk, treat the injury first," but that would be too rude.
Nangong Ming paused for a moment. A word stuck in his throat, so he could only say with a smile: "That's troublesome..."
