Chapter 20: Passing the buck

In order to facilitate the summoning of his captain and the gathering the next day, the disciples of the Hua Sect led by Zhang Yuan did not return to their own sect, and the reason why they would expand their sect outside the source city was to leave the last retreat for their Hua Sect, after all, there were so many people involved in the war, no matter how strong the personal martial arts were, I am afraid it would be difficult to gain the upper hand in the war, and it was very likely that a nobody would be directly killed on the battlefield, so Zhang Yuan opened the Zongmen Cave Mansion in case of emergency.

Of course, it was not the time to use his own sect at this moment, so Zhang Yuan had no choice but to continue to rent an inn in the source city, so that his disciples could rest, but after waiting for an afternoon, the junior brother Yan Yixiang said did not appear, so until the evening, Zhang Yuan felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this.

After all, without the captain's summons, Zhang Yuan didn't know the specific meeting place the next day, so he could only wait in the inn all the time, but this time, he waited directly until it was almost noon, of course, it was not his new captain who was waiting, but an inspection team organized by the Cultivator Alliance, and the person who came just asked Zhang Yuan's name, and after determining that Zhang Yuan was the person he was looking for, the inspection team immediately took Zhang Yuan away.

When going to the temporary command post of the Cultivator Alliance, Zhang Yuan felt that he had fallen for Yan Yixiang, after all, yesterday, Yan Yixiang said that he would change himself out, but he waited for an afternoon, and he didn't wait for the Chaoyangmen disciples who came to inform, and at this moment, the inspector team suddenly appeared, so it means that this time the queue adjustment should be Yan Yixiang dug a pit for himself, just waiting for himself to be punished today, in this way, Yan Yixiang is still very hostile to himself in his heart, so Zhang Yuan feels that he needs to think of an excuse in advance that he did not go to the gathering today。

The temporary office of the Cultivator Alliance is located in the source city office of Chaoyangmen, but when Zhang Yuan came here, he suddenly felt that the mountain range behind the office of Chaoyangmen was a little strange, and it seemed that there was a very familiar feeling there, as if he had returned to his own sect, and suddenly, Zhang Yuan's heart moved, and he roughly guessed what the situation was.

If Zhang Yuan's guess is not wrong, presumably on the mountain range in that source city, there is a hidden real sect of Chaoyangmen, the reason why outsiders do not know, it should be that Chaoyangmen and his own Huazong used the same mountain protection array, but Chaoyangmen's mountain protection array has already gone through thousands of years, and I don't know how many formations have been engraved in it, and its strength is by no means comparable to Huazong's mountain protection array at this moment, so it is really difficult for outsiders to enter the sect of Chaoyangmen.

In fact, this time before the source city, Zhang Yuan felt that he had a more important matter, that is, to rescue Ren Jianguo from Chaoyangmen, although I don't know if Wang Fang is also in Chaoyangmen at this moment, but as long as Ren Jianguo can be successfully rescued, it must not be difficult to determine Wang Fang's whereabouts.

Originally, Zhang Yuan wanted to use his heavenly eye to carefully check the situation in Chaoyangmen, but the two members of the inspection team behind him were a little impatient, and pushed directly on Zhang Yuan's shoulder, and Zhang Yuan involuntarily entered the room.

At this moment, there are more than ten old men sitting in the room, and in front of the old man are two cultivators, one of whom he knows, it is Yan Yixiang, who has some problems with him, as for the other one, Zhang Yuan is not so familiar, but seeing that the other party has lost his arm for a day at this moment, and there are many scars on his body, Zhang Yuan's heart is still stunned, he feels that the punishment of this cultivator alliance is too cruel, how can a disciple make a mistake, he will be tortured like this, if they really carry out such a punishment on their own body, then Zhang Yuan feels that he has a 100% chance of directly resisting, and even organized his own disciples to fight directly from the source city.

As soon as Zhang Yuan entered the door, the old man sitting in the middle directly began to ask, "You are Zhang Yuan?"

"Yes, senior, it is Hua Zongzong who is far away!"

Although the psychological activities are very complicated, before the showdown, Zhang Yuan feels that the respect he should have must have, and in these places, he must not be caught by the other party with pigtails.

"Okay, then tell me, where are those people from Huawei hiding?"

The old man's question made Zhang Yuan a little dumbfounded, Zhang Yuan at this moment was completely unclear about the situation, after all, about the fact that he was also Huawei, Zhang Yuan could be sure that others could not know, even those members of Yan Yixiang's subordinates who also belonged to Huawei were absolutely unaware of their identities, but why did the old man suddenly name his identity at this moment, and also asked himself where the members of Huawei were hiding, which made Zhang Yuan's brain start to run at a high speed.

It stands to reason that the other party doesn't know his identity, but since the other party asks such a thing at this moment, then it is obvious that the other party has a little evidence, or his performance somewhere makes the other party suspicious, and to be honest, he doesn't know where the Huawei members led by Mai are, why the other party asks him about such a thing, so obviously the evidence that the other party has is obviously incomplete, and it is likely that he is only doubting his identity by virtue of some signs, and at this moment he is more likely to be blowing himself up。

Although he was thinking about these things in his heart, Zhang Yuan's mouth was not idle, and he said directly: "Senior, I don't understand why you think that I know the whereabouts of the members of Huawei, since I came to Source City, I have been obeying the command of the Cultivator Alliance, and I don't have time to investigate the whereabouts of any rebels, so, senior, are you looking for the wrong person?"

The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he asked in a more enterprising tone: "Then please tell me now, why didn't you go to the morning assembly, did you already know that you would be attacked by the Hua Wei army this morning, so you deliberately didn't go?"

Listening to the old man's words, Zhang Yuan was even more sure that the other party was just guessing, of course, he finally understood what was going on, just this morning, Hua Wei's rebel army must have attacked part of the cultivator alliance army, Yan Yixiang's sects are all from Hua Wei, obviously the sneak attack in the morning is absolutely impossible to target them, and at this moment, the old man also emphasized that he did not participate in the gathering, so it is enough to show that Yan Yixiang has changed his queue yesterday, but Zhang Yuan does not understand why he did not receive the notice of the new captain。

And the one who suffered a sneak attack was most likely to be his new team, and this time he was afraid that the loss was also very serious, which is no wonder that the person next to Yan Yixiang would be so embarrassed, maybe this person was his new captain, very fortunately, due to his absence, so Hua Zong was able to preserve his strength, so it is not surprising that the Cultivator Alliance doubted himself.

"Senior, it's not that I don't want to participate in the gathering, it's just that from yesterday to now, I haven't received any assembly instructions, so until just now, I'm still waiting in my inn, after all, I don't know the location of the gathering, and there is no way to participate in the gathering!"

"You don't know where to meet?" asked the old man, in disbelief.

Although the old man was asking Zhang Yuan when he asked about this, his eyes looked at the seriously injured man beside Yan Yixiang.

The seriously injured man originally planned to deny Zhang Yuan's answer, but when he saw the old man's sharp eyes, his mouth did not listen to his own call and directly told the facts.

"Elder Jiang, after Senior Brother and I were transferred yesterday, I also forgot to inform him of his arrival for a while, but this time we were attacked by a sneak attack and annihilated, and this Huazong has an unshirkable responsibility, if they were present at the time, I'm afraid we wouldn't have fallen into such a disadvantage, and ......"

"You're enough!" Elder Jiang interrupted Xie Ze with some anger, if Xie Ze didn't say it himself, it would be absolutely impossible for others to know where they gathered, after all, in order to be able to make all the cultivators able to run in before the big war, this time the cultivator alliance gave each captain a very high degree of autonomy, and in the next ten days, each captain could freely decide the place and time of everyone's gathering, so as to prevent everyone from being attacked by the people of Huawei when they were still scattered, after all, each gathering is not only a matter for everyone to meet each other, but also needs to carry out some spells and other exercises, so they can only go outside the source city, This also gave Hua Wei's rebels an opportunity to take advantage of, so the Cultivator Alliance gave autonomy to the captains of each team, in order to prevent such a situation from happening, but what I didn't expect was that on the first day, thousands of cultivators died, and the other party did not leave any trace, how could this not make the top level of the Cultivator Alliance angry.

What's even more infuriating is that this Captain Xie Ze in front of him at this moment, after failing, actually pushed the responsibility to others, which made Elder Jiang even more angry, if those captains in this cultivator alliance were all like this, I am afraid that this war would not have to continue.

Pressing his somewhat aching temples, Elder Jiang turned his head to look at Yan Yixiang, "Yixiang, let's talk about it, why you also happened to appear there, you must know that the place where you gathered in the morning was outside the West City Gate, and it was very far away from the place where Xie Ze's team gathered. ”

"Elder Jiang, the reason why I went over there was recommended by the Pavilion Master of Linglong Pavilion in my team, and he said that that there was more suitable for the run-in between us, so after soliciting everyone's opinions, we went there. ”
