At this moment, a terrifying aura surged from a distance, and streams of thick, solid evil energy fell around like raindrops.
Hong Shenwu's expression changed drastically, he knew that Sha Wuji had arrived.
I saw Sha Wuji falling from mid-air and blocking behind Zhuo Wen and Hong Shenwu, his scarlet eyes full of violence and anger.
But soon, he also spotted the white-haired young man in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly raised his hands and said respectfully: "Xingsha Palace Sha Wuji, pay your respects to the sect master!"
Gui Jing nodded slightly to Sha Wuji, then looked at Zhuo Wen and said: "Daowen, do you know why I came here? Why ask knowingly?"
Sha Wuji's eyes flickered. Judging from Gui Jing's conversation, did Daowen and Gui Jing know each other?
Although Sha Wuji was extremely angry, since this matter involved the sect master, he naturally did not dare to act rashly.
If Zhuo Wen is really acquainted with Gui Jing, wouldn't he offend the sect leader if he takes action?
The best way now is to wait and see what happens.
Zhuo Wen looked at Gui Jing silently and said in a deep voice: "Sect Master, Hong Shenwu is my friend, and I hope that the Sect Master can let him go for the sake of my master!"
Gui Jing was silent for a moment, then he shook his head and said: "Hong Shenwu possesses the "Heaven and Earth Haoran Sutra". I am bound to get this thing, and there is no way I can let him go like this."
Hong Shenwu looked angrily and said: "The "Heaven and Earth Haoran Sutra" was obtained by my ancestor of Hongmen. When you Hongwu Saint Sect wanted this magical power, you only need to tell us Hongmen, and we Hongmen may not share it with you.
You Hongwu Holy Sect, after all, you are the main sect, and we are the branch sect, but we are connected by the same spirit."
"But you didn't. You simply couldn't bear to ask for it from our Hongmen. Instead, you wanted to destroy our Hongmen with unfounded charges and rob the "Heaven and Earth Haoran Sutra". Although you, the Hongwu Saint Sect, are the main sect, you are all a bunch of people."
What a hypocritical guy!"
Sha Wuji was full of murderous intent and said coldly: "Hong Shenwu, you are so brave. You dare to slander the Hongwu Holy Sect. You are really seeking death!"
"Slander? Hongwu Holy Sect still needs me to slander? Isn't this the inferior nature of your Hongwu Holy Sect? How ridiculous!" Hong Shenwu laughed loudly and continued: "I can go back with you, but this matter has nothing to do with Daowen.
, let him go!"
Sha Wuji glanced sideways at Zhuo Wen and snorted coldly: "This boy forced his way into the Xingsha Palace and injured many people from the Hongwu Holy Sect. He has committed a serious crime. Let him go? What you think is quite beautiful."
Zhuo Wen didn't look at Sha Wuji at all, but looked at Gui Jing and said calmly: "Sect Master, I think you know the right and wrong better than me! If you can't tell right from wrong, then I have nothing to say, only a fight!"
Gui Jing was silent for a long time and sighed softly: "I also deeply regret what happened to Hongmen back then. Unfortunately, I was not the sect leader and had no decision-making power, but I was not involved in that action!"
"Although I also had the intention to read the "Heaven and Earth Haoran Sutra", I did not agree with that approach. It was just that I was a soft-spoken person at the time, and it couldn't change anything at all!"
Speaking of this, Gui Jing looked deeply at Hong Shenwu and said: "Master Hongmen, I can help you rebuild Hongmen and make Hongmen become the largest sect in Wukang Prefecture. My request is very simple. Can you
Give the "Heaven and Earth Haoran Sutra" to me, the Hongwu Saint Sect!"
"I, Gui Jing, am willing to bear the grievances of the past and compensate you for everything you can. What do you think?"
Hong Shenwu was stunned. He didn't expect that Gui Jing would no longer be aggressive. Instead, she would speak kindly to him and be willing to make up for the grievances of the family's destruction.
Zhuo Wen remained silent. This matter involved Hongmen's past, so he naturally couldn't interrupt. His purpose this time was just to rescue Hong Shenwu.
As for the grievances between Hongmen and Hongwu Shengzong, he could not intervene. Everything depended on what Hong Shenwu did.
After a long time, Hong Shenwu raised his head, looked directly at Gui Jing, and said: "Sect Master Gui, you are different from other members of the Hongwu Holy Sect. I admire your magnanimity! I can give you the "Heaven and Earth Haoran Sutra", but I don't need you.
I will support Hongmen again without any compensation from you, I only want one person’s life!”
Gui Jing's face changed slightly. He had already guessed whose life Hong Shenwu wanted to kill?
The idea to destroy Hongmen back then was the idea of Gu Yunfei, one of the elders of the Ten Halls, and was also adopted by the old sect leader of the previous generation.
Later, the old sect leader passed away, and Gu Yunfei personally took an elite group of Hongwu Shengsong to Wukang Prefecture, joined forces with the Hongwu Shenzong, and completely destroyed Hongmen.
"I want the life of Gu Yunfei, the elder of Shenyan Palace! If the sect master can meet my request, the heaven and earth will be given to me through my hands without any other conditions!" Hong Shenwu said in a low voice.
"You are so brave. Gu Yunfei is one of the elders of the ten halls of our Hongwu Holy Sect. He holds a high position. You want to kill him. It is simply treason!" Sha Wuji said angrily.
Hong Shenwu didn't even look at Sha Wuji, but stared at Gui Jing who fell into silence, and said: "Sect Master Gui, if you can meet my request, I will give you the "Heaven and Earth Haoran Sutra" immediately!"
Gui Jing took a deep look at Hong Shenwu and said: "Gu Yunfei is one of the ten elders and has great influence in the Hongwu Holy Sect. It is impossible for me to kill the ancient elder for you!"
"However, I can give you a fair chance to fight Elder Gu. If you have the ability to kill Elder Gu, we, the Hongwu Holy Sect, will never pursue you!"
Hong Shenwu looked disappointed. Gu Yunfei was a god and demon who became strong. No matter how powerful he was, could he still be as powerful as Gu Yunfei?
And even if he practices hard, he may not be able to catch up with Gu Yunfei in his lifetime, let alone kill Gu Yunfei with his own hands.
"Master, promise him!"
Just when Hong Shenwu refused, Zhuo Wen suddenly spoke.
Hong Shenwu looked at Zhuo Wen in disbelief, only to see Zhuo Wen smile and say: "Gu Yunfei, I will help you solve it, trust me!"
Hearing this, Hong Shenwu looked at Zhuo Wen blankly. After realizing that the latter was not joking, he gritted his teeth and said: "Sect Master Gui, I agree to your proposal, but in the battle with Gu Yunfei, Daowen will fight.
.”
Gui Jing couldn't help but look at Zhuo Wen. He opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.
After all, Zhuo Wen is a disciple of Shan Lingyun. In his opinion, if Zhuo Wen challenges Gu Yunfei, he is simply seeking death. But since Zhuo Wen has said so and it was him who made the proposal, it is naturally impossible for him to regret it because of Zhuo Wen.
Otherwise, the majesty of his sect leader would be gone.
Sha Wuji sneered again and again and said: "You really don't know how to live or die. Although you are good in strength, you are still far behind us, the elders of the Tenth Hall. You are still trying to fight the ancient elders. Isn't that asking for death?"
"That's not necessarily the case!" Zhuo Wen said calmly.
Sha Wu was very angry, this boy's attitude really made him unhappy.
Next, Gui Jing and Hong Shenwu each made an oath of heaven.
After doing this, General Hong Shen excerpted the "Heaven and Earth Haoran Sutra" in a jade slip and gave it to Gui Jing.
