What Xuan Cheng said, in fact, Shen Muzhi didn't think of it. It's just that Zhao He is also a person who has been good to him, and he still doesn't want to believe that Zhao He will kill him after all.

But what Xuan Cheng said in the end also makes sense, life is not repeated, not afraid of 10,000, only in case.

He had to guard against it.

Xuan Cheng was worried about his emotions, and he was also worried that some people would not give up, so he used the excuse of being bored alone and stayed in Shen Muzhi's tent, and he didn't leave until the next day, when a disciple from Qingliang Peak came to look for him.

In the next few days, the whole was relatively uneventful.

Shen Muzhi's leg was injured, and he didn't want to see anyone else, so he stayed in the tent and didn't go out much.

In the middle, Zhao He came a few times and sent him some water medicine. Between the two, there were no superfluous words other than a few polite greetings.

Lin Changying also came once, stood at the door for a while, and left after feeling that he was fine.

Huang Zhen still hasn't found it.

Fang Ting's matter also ended with Huang Zhen's disappearance.

As for whether there is anyone behind Huang Zhen, although everyone knows it in their hearts, but there is no evidence, so they have to suppress it and not mention it again.

However, for Shen Qifeng and the others, this matter is not without losses in addition to being busy.

Fang Ting died, and although the Yue elders of Yu and Feng had no evidence, they would definitely doubt them in their hearts. This suspicion is inevitable.

Not long after this incident ended, everyone finally had to leave the East Island.

When I came here from the Great Sword Gate, it was actually less than a month since I left. But for most people, it has been less than a month, but it seems like a lifetime away. This memory, I'm afraid that in the next vitality, every time I think of it, I will still have palpitations.

Most of the disciples who came to Dongdao this time had never experienced a real life-and-death struggle at all. In the past, most of the time the cultivation in the sect was mainly based on cultivating the mind and cultivating qi, and there was not much competition between the disciples, let alone the real battle of seeing blood. But this time, they not only saw blood, but also saw the fragility of life in the face of danger, and also saw humanity.

On the way back, Shen Muzhi was led by Su Hua, followed by Zhao Zhengguang, and flew all the way to the front. The speed was so fast that even Shen Qifeng and the others couldn't reach it.

When he came, he flew for nearly a day, and now when he went back, it was only a little more than an hour, and Shen Muzhi had already seen the vast mirror lake.

At that time, I didn't pay attention when I came out of the Great Sword Gate, but when I stood in the air and looked down, I found that most of the lake in the center of the mirror lake was shrouded in a thick fog, making it impossible to see the true face inside.

After reaching the top of the mirror lake, Zhao Zhengguang led them and plunged into the thick fog in the middle of the lake.

In the blink of an eye, the thick fog came to their faces, and vaguely, Shen Muzhi seemed to see that the moment they entered the thick fog, something seemed to pass by them in the thick fog.

However, before he could tell whether it was him who was dazzled or whether he had actually seen it, they had already passed through the thick fog, and a large area of cyan suddenly came into view.

On the calm surface of the lake, large and small islands are scattered among them. On the island, there are many peaks and verdant mountains. Occasionally, birds emerge from the woods, change formations, pass through scattered islands, and finally plunge into another peak, disappearing without a trace, leaving only a few ethereal birdsong that echo in this isolated wonderland.

This was probably the first time that Shen Muzhi had seen the entire Great Sword Gate so clearly and completely.

Although he had been living in the Great Sword Gate for a year, he couldn't help but be shocked by this scene at the moment. Probably, the word Xianjia in the so-called Xianjia sect came from like this.

Suddenly, a wave emerged above the calm surface of the lake beneath his feet.

Then, a huge figure suddenly broke through the water and leaped into the sky. It's just that not long after the huge body left the water, it lost the momentum to continue rising, and then, with a bang, it smashed into the water again.

A huge wave of water surged up, splashing three or four feet high.

"Turtle Dragon?" Su Hua, who was flying in the air, suddenly paused, staring at the huge figure that gradually disappeared below the water, and between his slightly frowning eyebrows, he showed a little surprise.

Zhao Zhengguang also stopped in front.

The sudden appearance of the turtle dragon was something he didn't expect, but after turning his head to see Su Hua, there was a little confusion and curiosity in his eyes.

"I didn't expect there to be a dragon here. Su Hua looked up at Zhao Zhengguang, and there was a faint imperceptible complexity in his voice.

Zhao Zhengguang replied: "There were many demon clans who didn't have time to evacuate back then. What's more, this turtle dragon is not a real dragon, and its qualifications are limited. ”

After Su Hua heard this, he looked down at the water again.

Under the surface of the lake, which gradually calmed down, a huge black shadow could be faintly seen, passing by.

Shen Muzhi listened to their conversation on the side, looking curiously at the behemoth in the water below. It wasn't the first time he had heard of the dragon's name, but it was the first time he had seen it for what it really was.

"Let's go. Zhao Zhengguang's voice sounded again.

Su Hua nodded, and then took Shen Muzhi, followed Zhao Zhengguang, and continued to fly towards the largest island in the middle of the archipelago.

The news of their return soon spread.

After Zhao Zhengguang sent him and Su Hua to Zhengyang Peak, he went to Zhengyang Peak without stopping for a moment.

The reason why he didn't slow down and walk with Shen Qifeng and them all the way back was because he wanted to meet Leshan before Shen Qifeng and them rushed back to the door.

Su Hua's matter is sensitive in the end.

In addition, there was another incident between Qi An and Fang Ting.

Although Fang Ting's matter is now basically determined by Huang Zhen, Qi An's death is indeed inseparable from Shen Muzhi.

Shen Qifeng's side must have secretly sent a message back to these things.

In the letter, it must be twisted.

Leshan's character, Zhao Zhengguang is very clear.

He doesn't like intrigue, and he doesn't like anything that would interfere with his practice. Truth is not truth, fairness is not fair, it is not important to him, the important thing is stability.

But if you only consider it from the perspective of stability, then in the end, Shen Muzhi and he Zhao Zhengguang will inevitably pay the price. The price won't be too great, but it's not too small either.

If Zhao Zhengguang does not agree at that time, it will be a blatant disobedience to the orders of the head of the house, and it will not give Leshan face.

Between him and Leshan, because of Lin Qingfeng's affairs, the relationship was not as good as when everyone was a disciple in the early years. Later, because of the Yuzhi incident, both sides were a little unhappy in their hearts. Now if there is no unpleasant trouble for this matter, then the suspicion between him and Leshan will really exist.

Leshan is the head of the house after all, and he is also his senior brother, and he still doesn't want them to end up in a situation where they end up turning against each other. What's more, Shen Muzhi's realm is still low now, if Leshan insists on embarrassment or wants to harm Shen Muzhi, then he will still have a headache.

Therefore, whether from an emotional point of view or from a realistic point of view, this time, he is not suitable for a direct conflict with Leshan.

However, if this matter really comes to the point where Leshan makes him bow his head and pay the price, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to swallow this breath and agree.

That's why he had to rush back early to meet Leshan.

Even if there is a conflict, it is better for the two to clash in private than to clash in front of everyone else.

He must first explain the matter to Leshan, and then tell Leshan his attitude.

In this way, when Shen Qifeng and the others come back, when everyone sits down to confront this matter, Leshan has a plan in his heart before making a decision, and he will naturally weigh it.

Of course, if he still wants to be the same as back then, regardless of his Zhao Zhengguang's feelings, regardless of the truth and fairness, then Zhao Zhengguang will not endure it anymore.

At the gate of the Qintian Palace, You Yi was already waiting.

Previously, as soon as Zhao Zhengguang and the others came in from the mountain gate array, Leshan already knew. He probably expected that Zhao Zhengguang would come to him as soon as possible, so he sent You Yi to wait at the gate of the Qintian Palace.

Sure enough, Zhao Zhengguang came.

After You Yi respectfully saluted Zhao Zhengguang, he led Zhao Zhengguang around the Qintian Temple and walked to the residence in Leshan behind.

In the small courtyard paved with blue bricks, Leshan sat cross-legged under the plane tree in the center of the courtyard, closing his eyes and recuperating.

As soon as You Yi took Zhao Zhengguang to the gate of the courtyard, he took the initiative to retreat.

Zhao Zhengguang stepped into the door, and after seeing the figure under the plane tree, he hesitated for a moment and walked over.

"I've seen the senior brother in charge. Zhao Zhengguang stopped a foot away and bowed.

Leshan's eyes didn't open, his lips moved slightly, and a voice came out: "Want to intercede with your precious apprentice?"

Zhao Zhengguang had already stood up straight, and when he heard the words, he replied calmly: "Senior brother guessed wrong. Muzhi hasn't done anything wrong, so what do I have to intercede!"

After hearing this, Leshan frowned, and immediately opened his eyes. The sharp gaze fell on Zhao Zhengguang's face, and asked: "You said that he didn't do anything wrong? Killing someone is not called a wrong thing, so how can it be called a wrong thing? Senior brother, you have passed!"

"Why do you want to kill someone if you kill someone! Is it possible, my disciple Zhao Zhengguang can only be killed by others, so I can't fight back?" Zhao Zhengguang met Leshan's gaze and didn't let it go at all.

Leshan was a little dissatisfied with Zhao Zhengguang's unyielding rebuttal. However, the meaning revealed in the words also made his brows furrow even tighter.

Zhao Zhengguang didn't want to clash with Leshan immediately, the reason why he came back before Shen Qifeng and them was also to try not to clash with Leshan. Therefore, without waiting for Leshan to speak, he eased his tone and said, "Senior brother, there are many people I have seen with my own eyes about the matter of Qi'an. At that time, Qi'an and Yan Yi were trapped by demon beasts, and it was Muzhi who rescued them. But Qi An lost an arm, and it was difficult to accept it in his heart, so he vented his emotions on Muzhi. He attacked with a sword behind his back, if it weren't for the fact that Mu Zhi happened to have something to defend himself, then Mu Zhi would have died. Makino fought back, it was instinct. Qi An was seriously injured, and after being injured again, he died of serious injuries, and it can only be said that he is to blame. What's wrong with pastoralism?"

After Leshan listened, his brows furrowed even tighter.

After a moment of silence, he looked at Zhao Zhengguang and said coldly: "After so many years, junior brother, you still don't understand, in this world, many things can't just be right or wrong. ”

As soon as Zhao Zhengguang heard this, he couldn't control his emotions and couldn't help but retort coldly: "Senior brother said the same thing back then, I listened to senior brother, what was the final result? The result is that Senior Brother Lin's only child has been infamous for so many years, and there are still people who refuse to let her go." Now Senior Brother is saying the same thing again, what's the matter? Do you want Mu Zhi to become the second Lin Changying?"

Leshan's face instantly became gloomy.

Seeing this, although Zhao Zhengguang was full of anger in his heart, he still forcibly suppressed it, and after calming down a little, he said: "I came to find my senior brother today, not to intercede, nor to explain anything, but to show my attitude to my senior brother." Makiyuki is my apprentice, and since he is right, then I can't let him be wronged no matter what. As for the demon clan, she signed a contract with Muzhi, and in this case, she is Muzhi's person. If it's his people, that's my people. ”

"Do you have to be like this?" Leshan asked with anger in his eyes.

Zhao Zhengguang looked at Leshan, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said, "I've always been like this." Did you forget?"

Leshan narrowed his eyes and stopped talking. But the sparkle of anger in his eyes, and the pursed lips, showed that his patience was close to the limit.

Zhao Zhengguang also saw it, anyway, he had already said what he should have said, and there was no need to stay, so he didn't say much, and after silently arching his hand, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard, and immediately went straight to the sword and left the sword peak.

As soon as he left, a roar came from the courtyard: "Bastard!"

Not far from the courtyard, You Yi, who was going to wait for Zhao Zhengguang to come out, heard the roar and retreated silently.
