After Liao Yan left with the five elders, there was silence for a while in the Zixia Palace. No one made a sound. Many people still had a look of shock and panic on their faces, and the surrounding atmosphere was also a bit stormy. The taste of desire.
Previously, for the sake of safety, Liao Yan did not explain clearly what happened, but some of the clever disciples present were vaguely aware of something. When they looked at the young man in the center of the hall one by one, their eyes couldn't help but be a little incomprehensible. And it gets complicated. What kind of trouble has this young man caused outside? Even the head of a dignified sect must treat it with such caution...
However, although many people had a lot of surprises and questions in their hearts, no one came up to stir up trouble at the moment. After glancing at Shen Chen slightly, they all couldn't help but look away. After a long time, the entire hall was still quiet. .
In the eyes of many disciples, including most of the elders of the sect, the young man in front of them undoubtedly has an extremely special and respected status in Liuyun Sect. Although there are some things that the sect leader Liao Yan has not said clearly, it seems that the sect leader and the The previous attitudes of the five elders and many things are actually self-evident.
Therefore, for a long time to come, no one in the entire Liuyun Sect was willing to trouble this young man unless it was absolutely necessary, because everyone knew very well how serious the consequences would be if they offended a future heavyweight in the sect!
It has to be said that in today's competition, Shen Chen has conquered almost everyone through his monster performance. These are the victory prizes won through thrilling battles.
In Tianlong Continent, the strong are always respected by others. This is an eternal law!
"Okay, okay, let's all leave. Remember the sect leader's previous warning and don't make any mistakes!" After a long time, some of the higher-ups of the sect present quickly realized that the atmosphere here was very unfavorable to the sect leader's plan. , Deacon Fei immediately came forward and dispersed everyone in Zixia Palace, telling them to do whatever they were supposed to do.
Before everyone left, Senior Brother Qi Zheng, who had a respected position in the sect, also took the initiative to stand up. His words were cold and he sternly warned the disciples: "If anyone dares to betray Junior Brother Shen Chen later, he will look like this! "
Qi Zheng's words were very simple, and his actions were equally direct and brutal. He threw the golden spear violently in front of everyone. A thick stone pillar in the Zixia Palace that even an adult could not wrap around was penetrated by a hole as big as the mouth of a bowl. !
This scene shocked many disciples, and when they thought that the person who said those words was Qi Zheng, the God of War, many disciples were filled with horror, lowered their heads and fled in panic.
Although Qi Zheng seemed gentle and gentle on weekdays, if he really got angry, even some elders would not dare to get into trouble.
"Senior Brother Qi Zheng, I don't even know what to say..." Shen Chen, who was in the center of the hall, had already turned red. At this moment, he walked over to face Qi Zheng and was even speechless. The latter's heart and heroism were... Shen Chen met for the first time in his life.
"Then let's keep it all secret," Qi Zheng smiled warmly and pulled Shen Chen out of the Zixia Palace. "As agreed, I'll treat you to a nice drink, and you don't have to do anything else. Please take care of it, I believe the sect leader will handle it well."
"Then Senior Brother Qi Zheng, don't you want to know what happened..." Following Qi Zheng as he walked out of the hall, Shen Chen sighed and said inexplicably.
With this senior brother's intelligence, Shen Chen believed that it would be impossible for him not to detect something strange.
"Haha, I told you that everything should be kept silent. You can talk to me slowly after the limelight has passed. Now let's go have a drink first!"
Unexpectedly, Qi Zheng looked nonchalant after hearing this. His eyes were always looking forward, his steps were steady and strong, and he didn't even want to ask more about what happened before. Even Shen Chen had to be impressed by his free and easy expression.
In this way, the two people quickly left Zixia Palace. At this time, the figures in Zixia Palace had almost dispersed, and everything seemed to have returned to peace and tranquility. However, what no one noticed was that the people who left Zixia Palace at the end Among the group of outer disciples of Xia Palace, there was a pair of eyes that always had a haze in the depths of their pupils, staring at the two people's leaving backs from beginning to end, as if a poisonous snake in the dark had discovered its prey...
…………
The foot of Yunlan Peak quickly returned to normal, but in the lecture hall at the top of Yunlan Peak, the atmosphere was a bit weird and solemn at the moment.
Sect Master Liao Yan and the five elders had just arrived here in a hurry. When the six of them stepped onto the ground to teach the Dharma, the first thing they saw was three wrinkled old men, sitting upright in the main entrance hall. Above, on the seat below the portrait of the founder of the Liuyun Sect.
Originally, there was only one large seat there, which was used by the sect masters or the five elders to give lectures to the inner disciples on weekdays. The special place to sit has great symbolic meaning in the Liuyun Sect, and represents a way of inheriting the magical power of the ancestor.
In normal times, let alone outsiders, even the disciples of the sect, and even the disciples under the five elders, if they dare to sit on it without authorization, it is blasphemy against the ancestors of the Liuyun Sect and will be severely punished!
But now, these three uninvited guests not only sat on it, they even thought that one seat was not enough, and ordered two more seats to be brought in.
Such a rebellious act is simply provoking the highest taboo of Liuyun Sect. This has obviously touched the most sensitive nerves of Liao Yan and the five elders. It would not be an exaggeration to cut them into pieces!
However, when their eyes fell on the three old men, even though the six of them were angry, they had to swallow their breath. The clothes of these three old men, and the odor emanating from them, even the sect leader Liao Yan They all had a frightened aura, which made the six of them feel frightened, and they didn't even dare to show dissatisfaction on their faces.
To be able to make Liao Yan and the other six people so fearful or even fearful, the background of these three old men is naturally extraordinary. In fact, the clothes of the three old men have already explained a lot of problems.
The three old men are all wearing a set of dark black clothes. Without exception, the top and chest are made of fine silver thread, showing a skull pattern, and in the middle of the three people's belts, there is also
Set with a huge gem as black as ink.
All these things that Liao Yan and the others saw pointed to the origins of these three old men, pointing to a terrifying behemoth on the Tianlong Continent—Netherworld Palace!
The things worn by these three old men mark that they are all elders from the outer gate of Netherworld Palace. This status, which sounds unremarkable, is like a heavy stone for a small sect like Liuyun Sect.
The huge mountain was so heavy that Liao Yan and the others were breathing heavily at this moment.
When Liao Yan and the other two entered the lobby just now, several deacons from the Liuyun Sect were carefully serving the best tea of the sect to the three old men. When they saw that the senior officials of the sect had finally arrived, the cultivators
As good deacons, they all breathed a long sigh of relief. As the backbone of this sect, Liao Yan naturally could only bite the bullet and come forward. With his humble attitude, he quickly and simply talked to the three old men.
Explained the situation.
"Sect Master Liao, so that little thief hasn't been to your place recently?" After listening to Liao Yan's simple explanation, the old man sitting in the middle spoke calmly, without any doubt in his words.
.
After all, following this journey, the spheres of influence of the large and small sects that the three of them passed through were not even a hundred but eighty. This time they traced along the southwest side of the Yunwu Mountain Range, where the so-called Liuyun Sect is located.
, it’s just one of the areas, and it’s normal for no target to appear or appear. Naturally, the three old men wouldn’t suspect anything.
"Replying to the words of senior, I have indeed not seen the little thief you are looking for here in the Hidden Sect. Otherwise, even if I gave Liao ten courages, I would not dare to deceive your palace!" Liao Yan acted extremely senior at this moment, not at all.
Without any of his usual dignity, his words sounded like he was trying to please these three old people who had come from afar.
In his heart, Liao Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As he expected, there was no real evidence for this kind of thing. Even that huge man would not mess around...
"In this case, I won't embarrass you and the three of you. I would like to thank Sect Master Liao for your intrusion!" The old man sitting in the middle said calmly, with a trace of pride emerging between his brows, although there were similar compliments along the way.
, I have long been accustomed to hearing flattering words, but this attitude of extreme awe towards their Netherworld Palace is still very useful to the old man.
"Haha, the seniors and his party have been tired of traveling all the way. It's getting late now. If the three seniors don't mind the simplicity of the sect, then they can stay for a few days, so that Liao can clear up some landlords.
Friendship!" Liao Yan continued to say insincerely.
Behind him, the five elders secretly nodded at his performance in their hearts. The more humble Liao Yan behaved and the more he retreated to advance, the less likely it was to arouse the suspicion of the three old monsters.
As expected, when they heard that Liao Yan actually wanted to retain their party, the three old men all smiled proudly, and a trace of disdain flashed in their eyes. It was clearly not long after noon, and there were still several hours until dark.
, how could it be that "it's getting late"?
The three of them were disdainful, and naturally thought that this sect leader wanted to let his small sect climb up to the behemoth of their Netherworld Palace, and they would not think of anything else except disdain.
Along the way, the three of them have become accustomed to this kind of behavior of following others and trying to please others. Almost everywhere they go, the local sect forces are eager to keep them and entertain them in all kinds of ways.
As for a place like Liuyun Sect, which is located in the barren mountains and wild ridges, and the houses are not gorgeous, and are even a little shabby compared to other sects, to be honest, the three of them don't like it at all. If they don't have a mission, eight people can go there in a sedan chair
Hey, they may not come to this kind of place.
For a time, Liao Yan's various actions basically convinced the three old men of Netherworld Palace that there would be no problems here. However, the three of them were not careless in being able to get into the position of the outer sect elders in such a behemoth.
Seniors, at least the process still needs to be walked through.
Immediately, the old man with childish face and gray hair on the left of the three people spoke calmly and said with a smile: "There is no need to stay overnight. We still have important responsibilities. The little thief was not caught for a day, and we can't afford to blame it on the superiors.
However, there are regulations from above. Everywhere we go, we are required to conduct a careful investigation, otherwise something may slip through the net. I am now ordering my followers to go to other disciples and disciples of Liuyun Sect to find out some information. Sect Master Liao will not mind, right?"
"Haha, senior, you're welcome. Of course, Liao will fully cooperate with such an important matter. There is no reason to refuse!" Liao Yan responded with a smile on his face, as if there was no problem at all, as if he wished the three of them could stay here for a while longer.
Please.
In his heart, in fact, Liao Yan had already greeted the eighteenth generation of this old bastard's ancestors. The old man's words seemed polite, but there was no hint of wanting to discuss with him in his tone, which was unquestionable.
His tone was as if he was ordering him!
As the leader of a sect, Liao Yan was extremely disgusted with the tone of this old bastard. If it weren't for the safety of that brat, he would have to patiently put on a good show of concealing the truth. With his temperament, even if he didn't dare to offend easily,
These three old bastards have already closed their doors to thank guests.
As for the so-called "inquiring about information", to put it bluntly, he didn't want to verify what he just said. Fortunately, Liao Yan was calm enough and was prepared for this...
However, Liao Yan's painstaking efforts were finally in vain. The old man with childish face and gray hair quickly pointed to a man behind him wearing black clothes and holding a short knife, and said calmly: "Leisong, take the little thief's gun."
Portrait, now take people to the foot of the mountain to find out some information from Liuyun Sect members and disciples, remember to be polite to Liao Sect's main disciples, and don't cause trouble!"
From the old man's words, it was not difficult to tell that none of the three of them were interested in going out in person to interrogate the disciples of the Liuyun Sect. This made Liao Yan and the five elders behind him secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
