The secret treasury by the Huishui River? Chen Taizhong's expression at this moment was so strange.
"I didn't want to tell you at first," Nante replied angrily. "In fact, I don't know why the Longmen Sect rejected me. It was only a long time later that I learned through an accidental situation that the Zhou family, the Tao family and the Chu family
We, we once discovered a secret vault together!"
"Ah?" Chen Taizhong's mouth opened wide. Are you sure that the secret library was discovered by the three families?
In my buddy's impression, there is nothing wrong with the Zhou family. It was clearly discovered jointly by the Chu family and the Tao family.
Could it be that you are talking about another secret vault?
"You have killed all of the Zhou family's numerous insiders," Nante continued. "But this time, although Zhou Peiyuan didn't know the location, he knew about it, so he dedicated the information to the Longmen Sect. In exchange for
Gain the protection of the Dragon Gate Sect."
The mocking look in Chen Taizhong's eyes became more and more obvious.
Nante was furious when he saw this, "If you keep looking like this, I won't be able to communicate with you. I, Nan, never lie to others!"
"You never lie?" Chen Taizhong burst out laughing, laughing so hard that tears almost came out.
"I just don't want you to know the news about the secret treasury. It's a white lie," Nant replied confidently, "You are acting too unscrupulously. Bluestone City can't afford any more chaos."
"A piece of information about an uncertain secret treasury can make the Longmen faction come forward to protect people?" Chen Taizhong finally stopped laughing and looked at him with a half-smile, "Nante, you can forget about my IQ.
.You can’t underestimate the IQ of the Longmen sect, right?”
Nante looked at him strangely, and after a long time he hummed and spoke calmly. "During that time, several high-level immortals disappeared one after another from the Chu family and the Tao family... No one could be seen alive or dead, and no corpses were seen."
His voice was not high-pitched, but for some reason, his words were somewhat shocking.
Is this okay? Chen Taizhong was stunned when he heard this, and finally shook his head slowly.
Although this answer is a bit bizarre, it perfectly explains the cause and effect: The Zhou family guessed what the Chu family and the Tao family had gained. But they were not sure, so when Zhou Peiyuan was promoted to a spiritual immortal, he used this as a reason to protect himself.
Under the Longmen Sect.
As for whether this secret vault was discovered by two families or three families, does it matter to the Longmen Sect? It doesn't matter at all. After searching for the souls of the Chu family and the Tao family, they just used this as an excuse.
Get the secret library.
He sighed, "Nante, is this your promise to keep us safe? If you are really capable, go to the Longmen Sect to catch the murderer."
"I have no evidence!" Nantes glared at him fiercely, "If you have evidence, do you think I dare not?"
"Haha," Chen Taizhong laughed again. "When it comes to casual cultivators like me, you are free to testify. Whether you have evidence or not, you have to arrest them first. When it comes to the Longmen Sect, when it's time to testify freely, you say
Are you looking for evidence? Bah! You are a coward!"
Nante's face suddenly darkened. He moved his mouth, and finally sighed sadly. He grabbed the wine gourd at his waist, opened it and drank hard.
After taking a few sips, he let out a long belch, laughed loudly, and nodded slowly, "Yes, I am a coward. Yu Wuyan said that about me, and you said that about me, too.
But...who knows my suffering?"
He yelled the last four words.
"Okay, life is like a play, I don't care if you are pretending," Chen Taizhong remained unmoved, "If this Zhou Peiyuan doesn't die before the day after tomorrow, I will destroy the Zhou family."
"I can't help you with this," Nante shook his head, "I don't have to hold him accountable. In exchange for the Dragon Gate Sect not attacking the cultivators of Bluestone City, I have tried my best."
"There is no need for you to be too fussy," Chen Taizhong snorted. He was a little tired of Nante's hesitant attitude, "I have already asked the people from Morrowind Castle to take the lead. The Longmen Sect will hand over Zhou Peiyuan's head no later than the day after tomorrow."
"Are they going to search the boundaries of Morrowind Castle?" Nant was stunned, and then he laughed loudly, with a strange look, "That will touch your back."
Chen Taizhong didn't bother to look at his gloating expression, and just snorted disdainfully, "If they can't get the heads, it won't be just the Longmen Sect who will be troubled."
"I've explained my difficulties to you," Nante shook his head disapprovingly, "It's not that I didn't take your advice to heart, it's just that the matter is beyond my ability, and I have people I want to protect!"
"Bullshit!" Chen Taizhong snorted with disdain, "When you bullied us casual cultivators, you never spoke of reason. When you faced the sect, you restrained your hands and feet. You were as lofty as the sky and as timid as a mouse. In the words of our earth world... you
His life is destined to be a tragedy."
"Then it's a tragedy," Nantes raised his eyebrows indifferently and raised his hand to drink.
After taking a few sips, he raised his eyes to look at the thin rain outside the awning. His eyes were blank and he didn't know what he was thinking...
At noon on the third day, there was news from Morrowind Castle.
Although Chen Taizhong emphasized that as long as the Dragon Gate Sect didn't scold him too harshly, there was no need to give back information - he only needed to know if there were heads delivered, but the Lord of Morrowind Castle came in person.
Wen Zengliang's attitude was indeed very upright. He told Chen Taizhong in detail about the contact process.
The first contact was conveyed by his subordinates. There was no response from the Longmen Sect at all. He had to go there personally to stop the Longmen Sect disciples who had searched near the Yimin Tomb and re-emphasize the requirements of the Wrath of the Rogue Cultivators.
once.
The city lord personally came forward, and the effect was good. The disciples of the Longmen Sect stopped the search operation and collectively withdrew to the other side of the Huishui River, obviously not wanting to anger Chen Taizhong.
However, the Dragon Gate Celestial Immortal who led the team also showed obvious disdain for Chen Taizhong's request. He openly claimed, "It is not the turn of a casual cultivator to tell us whether or not the disciples in our sect should be dealt with, and how to deal with them...
.”
As soon as Wen Zengliang heard that this was not a problem, he quickly came to Chen Taizhong to report that they had stopped searching, but it did not mean that they would not come back in the future. By then, Chen Taizhong had left, and the pressure would be on Morrowind Castle again.
"You are really seeking death. Where do I have the time from foreign countries to spend with them?" Chen Taizhong became angry when he heard this. "By the end of today, if they don't send me their heads, I want them to look good!"
Because he had regained his status as a casual cultivator in the earth world, some strange words that came out of his mouth were easily accepted by others.
"Do you want to come to the door? It seems a little inappropriate," Wen Zengliang suggested seriously. "The Longmen sect specializes in water spells. The Heishuimen sect also has good water spells. It is also located on the bank of a large lake. It is said that there are dramas in the water.
Poison, the mountain guarding formation is extremely dangerous."
"Dangerous? Poisonous?" Chen Taizhong snorted disdainfully. No matter how dangerous your mountain-protecting formation is, it's just a sect. How strong can it be? Seriously... if you attack a sect rashly, you have to consider public opinion.
pressure.
With the Netherworld as a formidable enemy, blocking the mountain gate of Bai Yao Valley might not be a big deal, but directly attacking the Longmen Sect's mountain gate would really easily lead to interference from the sect or even the sect.
"Do you think that going to the underworld to fight can forgive everything?" Nante turned over on the big rock and asked drunkenly.
In the past few days, the Lord of Nancheng also lived and ate here. This person seemed to have a self-inflicted and uncomfortable complex. If there was a chair, he would sit on a stone. After drinking too much, he would lie on the stone to sleep - and half of the stone was still wet.
Outside the awning.
"How I feel about it is my business," Chen Taizhong replied disdainfully, "It's better than you, a coward who does nothing."
"Don't talk to my father like that!" Nancy glared at him.
Because the Lord of Nancheng lived here for a long time, his bodyguard and daughter also stayed to take care of him, but they set up a tent nearby. It had been rainy these days, so they usually hid in the tent.
However, no one invited Nancheng Lord to sleep in the tent, which shows that people around him are accustomed to his eccentricities.
"Haha," Nante chuckled, and it turned out that he was not abusing the uncomfortable one. He didn't care about Chen Taizhong's ridicule at all, but replied drunkenly, "You are just like Yu Wuyan, a rude man, so what if I am a coward?
He is dead, but I am still alive."
"You're just a walking zombie, do you really think I'd envy you?" Chen Taizhong laughed disdainfully, "A tortoise lives forever, do I envy them?"
"Oh, it turns out that Mr. Wen Bao has arrived." Nante opened his eyes, saw Wen Zengliang, and said hello with a big tongue, "It's always rare...Chen Taizhong, do you want to listen to the advice of me, a turtle?"
"You?" Chen Taizhong glanced at him, "It's better to say less. I'm afraid I won't be able to help but say something even more unpleasant."
"When you come to pick a fight, you are giving someone a handle," Nante sat up slowly and spoke with a yawn, "The Dragon Gate Sect doesn't dare to take the initiative to provoke you, it just waits for you to be impulsive. If you are impulsive, you will fall into their plan.
"
"Nancheng Lord's words make sense," City Lord Wen nodded. Although his cultivation level is higher than that of Nanchang Lord, Nancheng Lord's waist is too strong and he has a titled family behind him, so the two of them have always respected each other.
Of course Chen Taizhong also knew that it was not good for him to be so impulsive, but he just couldn't stand Nante's behavior, so he replied coldly, "What I cultivate is the air of injustice in my chest. The vision of Nancheng Lord can live for thousands of years."
, I can’t learn.”
"What a brave man," Nante sighed, "No, I can't just sit back and watch you do whatever you want, so... wouldn't it be better if you have the invisibility skill and quietly catch some people from the Dragon Gate Sect or even the Black Water Gate?"
"This is a very good thing to say," Wen Zengliang nodded hastily, "Master Chen, when they ask you, just say you don't know."
Chen Taizhong actually also likes to play tricks. He was very happy when he heard this suggestion, especially when the other party suffered a loss and was angry but dare not speak. That was what he liked to see the most.
So he didn't care about arguing with Nantes, "But...it doesn't matter, I'm afraid it won't hurt them, right?"
"That's easy to say," Nantes and Wen Zengliang replied in unison. (To be continued)
