Chapter 223: Undercurrents are surging
At the top of the Holy Maiden Peak, in the courtyard covering an area of several acres, the grass and trees are luxuriant, and the strange flowers are quietly blooming. The sunlight shines lightly throughout, like a fairyland in a painting.
In a pavilion on the left side of the courtyard, there is a tall and vigorous ancient pine, which just hides the eaves behind it.
In the middle room on the second floor, Xiao Nan was lying on the collapse, still unconscious. Before the attack, Hongmei, who fled back to the Xingyue Sect with the beast car, was also prostrate on the side of the bed at this moment.
A few hours ago, Xiao Nan and the others escaped the catastrophe and were taken back to the sect by the elders of the Star Moon Sect who came after the fire.
Shangguan Yun was originally at the Goddess Peak, and when he heard the news, he was extremely shocked, but he didn't panic, he just gathered several elders, agreed on a countermeasure, and simply brought the few people who were attacked to his residence.
In the room, 6 Miaoying and several people told Shangguan Yun in detail about what happened this time.
After a period of silence, Shangguan Yun said solemnly: "Don't do this first, this matter is definitely not simple, dare to do it directly to your Xunjiabao people under our noses, the person who comes is not good!"
"I can't figure it out, our Xun family shouldn't have any enemies in Jingcheng, and what we interact with people is only a business matter, and our business has no conflict with other people's businesses, why would someone make such a big effort to trouble us?" Xun Qianhu leaned on the recliner, her muscles and bones were injured in many places, and her movement was inconvenient.
She also knew in her heart that if it wasn't for Xiao Nan and the others desperately trying to resolve it at that time, it would only take an instant for her to support the mysterious person's palm print grasp.
Shangguan Yun breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "You have escaped this catastrophe, this is a blessing in misfortune, don't worry, since this matter was born here, it is not just your Xunjiabao business." ”
Speaking of this, the corners of Shangguan Yun's mouth curved, revealing a disdainful expression, and then said: "I also happen to think that this day is boring, it's best to find something to make a scene, I have already asked the Harrier Eagle to pass the book to your Xunjiabao, let them not worry, there are still several of our major sects here, and they have the ability to protect you." ”
"If you know who they are, hmph!" 6 Miao Ying frowned and looked at Xiao Nan who was lying on the side, and her tone was full of coldness.
"What are you humming? You don't need to worry about this? You just need to cultivate, you can play as you want, these things, only we have to deal with these things, I have already sent the elder to your house to inform you of this matter in person. ”
6 said angrily: "Sister Yun, those people want to kill our ......." ”
Shangguan Yun interrupted her, "Okay, when the time comes, I will make them pay several times the price, I used to ask you to be cautious and honest, but now I don't need to, I have arranged for two elders to secretly follow you, waiting for those people to come." ”
"Master, what about Xiao Nan?" Wei Shuangling, who was sitting on Shangguan Yun's side, asked with his head sideways.
"He still called 6 Yuan, don't be busy revealing your identity, in case the Xuanling Sect knows about this, I won't stand idly. "Shangguan Yun has always had a grudge against Xuanling Sect, she is also a woman's heart,—— she is not used to people and things, she has the intention of provoking.
After pondering for a while, she couldn't help laughing and said, "When the time comes, I'll secretly throw this kid to a place where no one can find it, anyway, his life is too big to die!"
"Sister Yun, don't!" 6 Miao Ying said with wide eyes at her in alarm.
Xun Yue also responded in a panic: "Well,
Don't do that, let Xiao Nan go to our Xunjiabao to ....... ”
Shangguan Yun glanced at everyone impatiently, "Are you all finished? Hasn't he been recognized by the Xuanling Sect yet? ”
"This time it's also thanks to him, otherwise, Xun Yue and I probably really suffered this time. "Xun Qianhu has never experienced such danger.
"If our cultivation level is at a high level, we won't be as dangerous and embarrassed as we are today. Wei Shuangqi, who had been silent, suddenly muttered.
Shangguan Yun reached out and touched her face, "It's still my little apprentice who is smart, and I have seen the essence from this matter, and nothing is more important than becoming stronger." ”
"Miaoying...... ," Xiao Nan, who was suddenly lying on the bed, called softly.
Everyone was astonished and looked at him.
"Twin Spirits...... ,”
I saw his lips squirming, and he called another name, and Hongmei also approached vigilantly, looking at Xiao Nan, who was still with her eyes closed.
Shangguan Yun rolled his gaze and said disdainfully: "I'm talking in my dreams, he is the best at recruiting trouble, and this virtue is not honest." ”
6 Miao Ying and Wei Shuangling's faces instantly turned crimson, and the sweetness in their hearts unconsciously filled their faces with smiles.
Only Xun Yue, her heart was pounding, "Why do you only call her two?" In an instant, tears filled her eyes, and endless grievances were dense in her mind like dark clouds.
"Xun Yue!" Xiao Nan, who was lying on the collapse, suddenly bounced up, "Ah!" A tingling pain penetrated his brain, and in the scream, he fell unconscious again.
Several women flashed around the bed in a panic, some whispered, some sobbed, and some took out silk handkerchiefs to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Even Shangguan Yun reached out and grabbed Xiao Nan's wrist, but then threw it back on the quilt, and said angrily: "He's fine, what are you anxious about, just woke up, this movement, and fainted in pain." ”
Sure enough, after a minute, he opened his eyes again, turned his eyes slightly, and saw a lot of people around him, and after taking a deep breath, he said, "It's okay, you're fine, you just scared me to death, it seems like a nightmare." ”
After he finished speaking, his eyes widened, as if he was remembering something, and after a while, he asked, "What happened just now? It was like being thrown into the fire, and it hurt me to death." ”
Xun Yue stretched out her soft little hand and stroked his forehead affectionately, "Okay, it's okay, you can lie down well." ”
Xun Qianhu was lying on the chair, her sister's expression changed one after another, she saw it in her eyes, and she wanted to laugh, but she still couldn't hold back her smile, so this inexplicable happy mood dripped into her heart.
At sunset, at the foot of a spiritual stone mountain under the jurisdiction of the Xuanling Sect, a huge manor was placed in the center of a dense variety of buildings like a square puzzle.
In the reception hall of the main building in the manor, Elder Pang of the Xuanling Sect and Elder Zuo of the Capricorn Sect sat next to each other, their expressions solemn.
And Chen Zhengnan, the eldest son of the Capricorn Sect, was scratching his ears and cheeks, panting, and pacing quickly and slowly in the hall uneasily.
"Why haven't these bastards come back yet?, what the hell is going on with the Tang Protector?" he looked out the door anxiously and said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Elder Pang raised his eyes and looked at Elder Zuo, and said in a low voice, "The people you sent are not ordinary people, deal with them
Those few people, it should be easy and sure, if it goes well, they should be back here a few hours ago, could it be that the spies' intelligence is not accurate?
The accident he said meant that the people who Elder Zuo went to sneak attack were not only those reported by the spies, but there should also be other people, and they were also some people who were not simple.
Elder Zuo, who had always been calm, also began to feel a little uneasy an hour ago, but his eyes pretended to be calm to cover up his gradually spreading suspicions.
"Wait a little longer, in addition to those people, I also arranged for spies to spy from afar, no matter what, there will be information back. Elder Zuo replied calmly, and his gaze did not meet Elder Pang's.
After another hour, the two were talking, Chen Zhengnan didn't care about it, ordered some wine and food, and in this hall, pulled the two elders to wait for information while drinking.
"This is not right, there must be more than fifty people who went to the basket for no reason, and none of them came back!" Chen Zhengnan spoke, and the knotted beard on his face became even more flamboyant because of the anger in his heart.
"Hmph, it's best not to come back!" Elder Pang's eyes shrank, and a cold light flashed.
"You...... What are you talking about?" Chen Zhengnan shot his gaze at him.
Elder Zuo waved his hand at Chen Zhengnan and scolded: "Don't be rude, what Elder Pang said is right, if the matter fails, it is best to ...... the people who go to do things." ”
He paused here as he spoke, and then said: "It's so clean, if someone flees and is followed by the other party, even if we are not directly verified, it will be a big trouble to be suspected." ”
Elder Zuo said this, but he still had luck in his heart, and he was willing to believe that it was for other reasons,—— such as this group of people who were sent out may have been blocked, so he had to make a detour and delay the return trip.
After all, it hadn't been enough for eight hours before they had swallowed the Myelin Devouring Pill, and as long as someone was alive, they would definitely try their best to return here.
"I don't believe that there are more than fifty people, and none of them have come back alive, it is impossible for them to die so cleanly!" Elder Zuo muttered unwillingly in his heart.
It's late at night, and the three of them are sitting on pins and needles, and now every minute and second makes them feel unusually slow, even so, but the cold time still flows.
"It's all dead, eight hours have passed!" Elder Zuo put down the wine glass in his hand and said gloomily.
"All of them are dead? Fifty people are dead, what about Tang Protector?" Chen Zhengnan had already been circling the hall again, he actually understood that these people were all dead, he just didn't want to accept this result.
Elder Zuo didn't answer his words, but just smiled apologetically at Elder Pang on the side, "Elder Pang, please go back and rest, you also know the result." ”
Elder Pang instead showed a relaxed expression, and said with a smile: "The matter has come to this point, we don't need to worry about it, this is just a small setback." ”
Elder Zuo smiled bitterly and nodded, but the word 'we' in the other party's words did give him some comfort.
"During this period of time, it is not appropriate for us to take any more action, eldest prince, Elder Zuo, you settle down first, and we still have a chance in the future, and we also have a way to turn them upside down. ”
Chen Zhengnan stopped, turned to stare at Elder Pang who was speaking, "Okay! Elder Pang, with a promise like yours, our alliance will be unbreakable!"
