"Who?" Yichen was a little proud of his own judgment.

Although he said it very easily, he wanted to know in his heart who the person Hu Lai wanted to inquire about was or if he was a high-level member of the Yin Gate.

As long as it is about the situation of the Netherworld, the more you know, the better, as the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing the other is invincible.

"However, it has been many years, and there is a vast sea of people, and if he doesn't take the initiative to contact me, I'm afraid there will be no way to find him. ”

Hu Lai sighed faintly, as if talking to himself: "The competition for the deputy master failed, and the eldest brother left for more than 20 years, but there has been no news, alas......"

It can be seen that Hu Lai's heart has been suppressed for a long time, maybe he has never said it, and now he wants to bring up the old things again, and for a while, he doesn't know where to speak.

Yichen didn't interject, just waited quietly, he knew that it was best to wait for Hu Lai to adjust his feelings and say everything he was willing to say.

"At that time, our two brothers, one competing for the position of deputy sect master, and the other running for the position of Supreme Elder, were also in the limelight in the Youyin Gate. ”

A smile appeared on Hu Lai's face, as if immersed in the joy of memory: "Even those veteran old guys are impressed by our brothers. ”

"Whether it is a competition for cultivation or a competition for leading a team to carry out tasks, our brothers are advancing all the way and are invincible. Almost everyone thought that there was no doubt that our brothers would win this competition. The position of the eldest brother's deputy head is already within reach, and I, although I am slightly inferior to the eldest brother, can also be among the ranks of the Supreme Elders. ”

Suddenly, Hu Lai choked for a while, there seemed to be sparks in his eyes, his steel teeth clenched, and he said hatefully:

"Who would have thought that in the end, it would end in the fiasco of our Hu brothers...... This is simply a farce......! He used despicable means to harm our brothers for more than 20 years. ”

"When my eldest brother left the Netherworld, you were not yet born, how could you know him...... This matter has been held back for too long, and it has become a heart disease, and it just so happens that you are not from the Netherworld, and they will not know if I say it......"

Hulay was so engrossed that he was a little incoherent and didn't know what to say.

But Yichen still didn't bother, even if Hu Lai was talking nonsense, it was better than holding it in his heart, and he could also find a lot of information from these memories that seemed to be incompatible.

According to Hu Lai, the strength of the two brothers at that time was already at a very high level in the Youyin Gate, except for a very few guys who originally belonged to the veteran level, they were basically invincible.

Twenty years ago, there were fewer heroes at the peak of the battle commander than now, and Brother Hu Lai was at such a height at that time, no wonder he passed all the way, even if he won the deputy master, it seemed to be expected.

Hu Lai, on the other hand, took the position of a Supreme Elder into his arms, and only needed to be announced by the Lord of the Yin Sect before he could take office.

Yiqiē seems to be under the control of the Hulai brothers, and all competitors have died down and admitted defeat.

However, just when Yin Wuwei, the master of the Youyin Gate, was about to announce the success of the Hulai brothers' election, an ordinary elder with a little-known name jumped out to challenge.

This person is Xin Buren, in everyone's impression, his cultivation is only a junior powerhouse of the battle commander, and he is far from Hu Laidu, not to mention the boss of the strong man who has reached the peak of the battle commander.

According to the rules of the Nether Yin Sect, candidates who participate in the election for the Supreme Elder must reach the high level of battle commander in cultivation, and the position of deputy sect master not only needs to have sufficient qualifications, but also the minimum cultivation level must also be at the peak level of battle commander.

Xin Buren is at most a mid-level powerhouse of the battle commander, and this kind of strength can only be regarded as a medium level in the Youyin Sect, and he is not qualified to run for the Taishang Elder and Deputy Sect Master at all.

However, he is qualified to challenge either of the Hulay brothers.

The disciples of the Nether Yin Sect, as well as the ordinary elders, could challenge other disciples or elders in a formal and public setting.

The only requirement for the challenge is that the cultivation must be low, and the challenge is high, as long as the other party accepts, the time and place can be agreed, and the two sides will have a challenge.

If the challenger fails, in addition to contributing half a year's salary, he will also be punished by being demoted by one level, but if the challenge is successful, he can replace the loser's current position, which is also a very tempting reward.

For the challenge of this matter, the Youyin Gate is actually advocated, so that all the disciples and elders of the Youyin Gate have a sense of crisis, and someone may challenge you at any time.

It is said that it is a competition, and the point is up, but in fact, as long as you don't take the other party's life, the rest do your best and do whatever you want.

Crisis and competition are often the best way to maintain or even improve combat effectiveness, although cruel but very real.

So, Xin Buren challenged, and with the cultivation of the middle level of the battle commander, challenged the high-level of the war commander, and even the peak powerhouse of the war commander, such a big leapfrog confrontation naturally aroused everyone's interest.

Some people think that Xin Buren is beyond his strength and touches a stone with an egg, and some people applaud Xin Buren's courage to be fearless of the strong.

It's just that everyone believes in one thing, that is, Xin Buren will definitely lose.

And the Hulai brothers, of course, will not back down at all, they will speak immediately, no matter who Xin Buren chooses as the target of the challenge, they are willing to accompany them at any time.

Xin Buren thought very highly of himself, and directly set the challenge object as Hu Lai's eldest brother, and asked the Yin Sect Master to personally preside over the challenge in a closed form.

The so-called closed form shì means that there are no other spectators except for the host and the referee.

In everyone's opinion, Xin Buren's choice of a closed form is to leave a trace of face for himself, so as not to lose his ugliness in front of the public.

Asking the Yin Gate Lord to preside over it in person is to save his own life, after all, Yin Wuwei will not let it go, and Brother Hu Lai will kill Xin Buren under his nose.

But the result of the matter was beyond everyone's expectations, and the winner of the challenge was actually Xin Buren, who was not favored.

Hu Lai didn't see the scene of their battle, let alone think that his eldest brother, a dignified battle commander peak powerhouse, would lose to a middle-level powerhouse like Xin Buren.

Even if he fights by himself, no more than three rounds at most, he can easily take down Xin Buren.

However, Hulai didn't have much time to think about it, because he found out that his eldest brother had not only lost the match, but was also seriously injured and in urgent need of medical attention.

Three days later, Yin Wuwei personally announced several results:

Xin Buren's challenge was successful, and because his cultivation had reached the level of a peak powerhouse of the Battle Commander, he was qualified to serve as the deputy master of the Youyin Sect.

Considering that Hulai did not participate in the challenge, he could retain his position as an ordinary elder and not be demoted, but his salary was reduced by 20%.

The too big gap made Hu Lai at a loss, and he wouldn't believe it if he was killed, Xin Buren turned out to be the peak powerhouse of the battle commander, there must be something wrong with this.

But when the result is announced by the Lord of the Yin Gate, it is a certainty, and no one can change it, let alone talk about it.

In desperation, Hu Lai only waited for his eldest brother to recover from his injury, hoping to know the true situation of the challenge.

However, Hu Lai never got an explanation from the eldest brother, and not only that, but what made him even more unacceptable was that the eldest brother's injury had not healed, so he left the Youyin Gate without saying goodbye.

Later, someone saw Hu Lai's eldest brother in the Luoying Mountains of the Luoying Kingdom, as if he was looking for a dragon vein.

Hu Lai once thought about going to the Kingdom of Luoying and finding the eldest brother, but he also left the Youyin Gate and roamed the rivers and lakes with the eldest brother.

Before he could set off, the Netheryin Gate issued another rule, whether it was a disciple or an elder, if he left the Netheryin Gate without authorization for more than half a year, he would be regarded as a traitor to his own sect, and all members of the Netheryin Gate were obliged to kill him.

This regulation, as if tailor-made for the Hulai brothers, was extremely targeted, and during that time, Hulai always felt that someone was following him.

If he leaves the Youyin Gate rashly, maybe he will be chased and killed by the Youyin Gate before he finds the eldest brother, Hu Lai is most worried that someone is following him, in case he really sees the eldest brother, I am afraid that the brothers will only have to go to Huangquan hand in hand.

Sure enough, one day a year later, someone brought back a corpse, although it was already decomposed, Hu Lai could still clearly distinguish that it was indeed the body of the eldest brother.

"My eldest brother must have fallen into a trap and been plotted, but ......"

Hu Lai lowered his voice, but he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and said softly: "Although the corpse is real, my eldest brother is not dead!"

"Oh, since it's a corpse, how can you say it's not dead?" Yichen's heart moved, and he asked lightly.

"The eldest brother may have been afraid of dragging me down, so he cut off my telepathy with him so that I could not find him. ”

Hu Lai's expression became mysterious: "However, I have always kept that trace of induction, if the eldest brother really has an accident, I can sense it." ”

When he saw the corpse, Hu Lai was also heartbroken, but his induction told him that the signs of his eldest brother's life were still there.

He didn't know why the eldest brother survived from the corpse, but he was still happy that the eldest brother didn't die.

"If you tell me this, aren't you afraid that I will leak the secret and lead the Youyin Gate to hunt down and kill your eldest brother again?"

Yichen already understands who Hu Lai's eldest brother is, but he wants to confirm whether Hu Lai is telling the truth to him.

"In the past twenty years, I have been looking forward to the day when my eldest brother will come back to me, and maybe by that time, he will have become a strong warrior. ”

Hu Lai glanced at Yichen and said, "As for you, if you can save me from the claws of the thornback demon lizard, I already regard you as my best friend, and I believe that you will not betray me." Otherwise, I have no reason to sue you for this. ”

"Well, since you can trust me, I'll help you keep the secret. ”

Seeing that Hu Lai said sincerely, Yichen was relieved, but suddenly asked, "Is your eldest brother's name Hu You?"
