Since Chu Tianyao's initial rise, the Eight Venerables had already investigated his background in detail in order to prevent trouble. He also knows a few characters who have intersected with him in the past.

Isn't the target this time the same disciple he hates the most? At this time, the Eighth Venerable was sitting in his room, carefully examining the jade slip, and at the same time nodding secretly against the information at hand. In that case, why didn't he go by himself, but he had to push it to the seventh child? If he was really injured by the white-clothed corpse, the old disease recurred? I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?

But if you look closely, this kid seems to be ...... The Eight Venerables frowned, and swiped their fingers on the jade slip to enlarge the picture. If I'm not mistaken, isn't this the kid who was reported by the Blood Cloud Hall at the beginning, saying that he killed their three hall masters? Later, in the Vientiane Demon Domain, he escaped safely in his own pursuit...... It seems that his life is quite big, and he has lived to this day-

In that case, it would be ...... The Eight Venerables' hearts suddenly moved, and a seemingly bold guess, but it was the closest to the truth, came out.

Use the kid surnamed Ye to take the opportunity to get rid of Lao Qi, and as soon as his superiors die, he can be promoted...... And once that kid is charged with killing the Venerable of the Nine Shadows Palace, the hall master will not let him go, and he doesn't even need Lao Jiu to do it himself, killing two birds with one stone-

Thinking of this, even the Eight Venerables couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. But soon, his five fingers slowly tightened on the table, and a fine light flashed in his eyes.

This kid has a big appetite...... Well, I'll do it and help him again...... Borrow a knife to kill people, and you don't have to get blood on your hands-

When Lao Qi dies and the position of the Seven Venerables is vacant, I can be promoted naturally. When the time comes, as long as I report the relationship between Lao Jiu and the kid surnamed Ye to the top-to prove that his so-called injury recommendation is completely self-directed and self-acting, in order to design Lao Qi - in this way, Lao Jiu will be finished, and no one can threaten my status anymore-

As long as you do this with a little hand, you can get rid of two strong opponents at the same time, which is the real killing two birds with one stone...... Although Lao Jiu is crazy, Jiang is still old and spicy, so let him go to a dead end on his own and become a stepping stone for my promotion-

That's right...... That's right...... When the time comes, I will have to watch the battle, just wait for Lao Qi to die at the hands of that kid, and then I will show my might, kill him and regain the fragments, this credit is much greater than Lao Jiu's past, right? Lao Jiu, don't blame me, anyway, I got rid of that old enemy for you......

The smile on the face of the Eight Venerables continued to expand, as if he had seen the time when he was promoted to the throne in public and enjoyed the prostration and worship.

……

"Seven Venerables, it's time to eat. ”

In the room of the Seven Venerables, Mu Hansha lined up a few small dishes separately, and made a special trip to serve a bottle of wine, and then stood respectfully.

The Seven Venerables nodded, lifted their chopsticks, and let out a long sigh: "This is the only time every day that you can relax for a short time——"

Mu Hansha cautiously probed: "What the Seven Venerables are referring to, could it be that the Nine Venerables recommended you......?" I don't know what you think?"

The Seventh Venerable smiled meaninglessly: "What else can I think, it's just that the goal this time is a hard stubble, and Lao Jiu just excused himself in order to protect his reputation as a constant victory." Of course, if something goes wrong on my side, it's exactly what he wants. ”

Shaking his head, he concentrated on tasting the dishes in front of him, "It's just a good little newcomer, and I don't have any intention of bothering with him, let him jump hard." ”

The Seven Venerables and the Eight Venerables, the two are the same and different. To say the same, it is that they have all been working tepidly in their positions for hundreds of years, without great merit or great fault. To say different, the Eight Venerables are more like a shrewd businessman, always sharpening his head and waiting to take advantage of loopholes, the higher the position, the heavier the authority in his hands, he can naturally open up more channels for collecting money.

The Seven Venerables, on the other hand, have always been down-to-earth in their actions, and regard fame and fortune as things outside their bodies. For promotion, it is good to be promoted, but if you can't, you don't have to force it. In his position, he seeks his government, and only wants to be able to properly complete the tasks assigned by the hall master. Among the Venerables of the Nine Shadows Palace, he is also a rare person with a "Buddha" mentality.

"In essence, the eighth and ninth are all the way, and they can't settle down for a moment, racking their brains to step on others. Speaking of this, the Seven Venerables sighed with some emotion.

"Alas, being in a high position is like this, there will always be so many pairs of eyes staring at you, making you uncomfortable. Hansha, if you also sit on the throne of Venerable in the future, then these intrigues will also be something you must face. ”

Mu Hansha nodded silently, and then there was also a match for the words of the Seven Venerables, but his expression today always seemed a little absent-minded, his eyes seemed to be hesitant, like sadness, and he wanted to speak several times and stopped.

In the past, the Seven Venerables could sense his abnormality, but this time the task of seizing the artifact fragment was a large-scale task that he had not received for a long time, and because it was related to the master of the Heavenly Palace, no matter how strong or weak the opponent was, there must be no mistakes. During the meal, the Seven Venerables also checked the information in the jade slip from time to time, carefully thinking about how to deal with it, and ignored others for the time being.

The meal was quickly finished, Mu Hansha put away the tray, tidied up the table a little, and left quickly.

Standing in the dark corridor, he took out the jade slip, quickly edited a message, and pressed the "send" button.

"It's done. ”

Yu Jian quickly dimmed, and the contact with the other party was usually only reported unilaterally by himself, and he rarely replied. However, Mu Hansha knew that some things had become a foregone conclusion at this time.

"Seven Venerables, I'm sorry......" Looking back at the room of the Seven Venerables, Mu Hansha bowed deeply, expressing the unique respect in his heart.

Yes, from the very beginning, Mu Hansha was the person of the Eight Venerables, and it was a secret chess piece that he placed beside the Seven Venerables.

When he was a lowly slave, it was the Eight Venerables who stumbled upon him and made a pact that he would carry him and that he would do things for him.

Mu Hansha agreed, and the next step was to be planned by the Eight Venerables, allowing him to attract the attention of the Seven Venerables. The Seven Venerables valued talents, and sure enough, they kept themselves by their side. It is with his support that he can become the Holy Envoy of the Nine Shadows, and then have today's glory.

Everyone believed that he was the most powerful newcomer to the Seven Venerable faction. But no one knew that his true master was the Eight Venerables.

Over the years, the Seven Venerables have treated themselves with the care of a master and a father, while the Eight Venerables have always treated themselves as objects of use.

Mu Hansha was able to distinguish right from wrong, and many times, he felt ashamed of the Seven Venerables, and he didn't want to continue this relationship anymore. But whenever he showed the slightest expression, the Eight Venerables would threaten him viciously, not forgetting who had lifted him up in the first place.

"If you don't have the help of the deity, do you really think you can get the attention of the seventh child?"

"You want to serve the deity wholeheartedly, okay, if you let him know that you have always been the deity's person, and you have been by his side all these years, I don't know how much information has been transmitted to the deity, and every message you have sent, I have kept it in good form - do you think that when the time comes, the seventh will believe in your loyalty again?"

"Even if you can not care about your own future, what about your family? their glory and wealth, and even their lives, are all just a word from the deity-"

"You are a dog of the deity for one day, and you will be the dog of the deity for the rest of your life, or a dog who is 'disloyal and unfilial'—"

Mu Hansha silently clenched the jade slip, and there was a slight spasm in the bone joints. Soon...... Soon all this will come to an end, but the name of his "disloyalty" will be difficult to wash away after all......

***

In a barren plain, Ye Shuo was hurrying away.

Previously, the owner of the treasure shop suddenly sent a message, saying that the analysis of the artifact fragment had resulted, and invited him to come and talk about it in person.

Although Ye Shuo had not yet recovered from the blow of being rejected by Qi Lingsha, the artifact fragment was too important to his growth, so he didn't think much about it, and hurried over according to the address in the summons.

After crossing this plain, you can reach the agreed town...... Ye Shuo quickened his pace, and suddenly, the spiritual power in his body violently vibrated violently, and not far ahead, a black whirlpool quietly emerged, and an old man in a black robe stepped out slowly.

There was no killing intent on his body, but where he stood, the elemental fluctuations were stationary, as if he was afraid of something.

At this time, behind the mounds on both sides, the figures of Chu Tianyao and the Eight Venerables were also quietly prostrate behind, their eyes staring at the confrontation in front of them. Of course, they didn't know each other existed.

"Are you ......" In the open space, Ye Shuo frowned, and when he saw the gold trim embroidered on the other party's robe, his eyes suddenly froze, "The Seven Venerables of the Nine Shadows Palace?"

The Seven Venerables' eyes were not shocked, and they said lightly: "The deity doesn't want to kill more. Honestly hand over the fragments of the tripod in your hand, and the deity will let you live. ”

Ye Shuo's heart was shocked, the other party was so sure that he had the fragments of the tripod weapon...... Not many people know about this treasure, is it the survivor of the Time Clock Tower who leaked the news, or is the owner of the treasure shop also a gang of them?

Thinking of the Battle of the Aragami Tomb again, if it was just a guess at the time, but now he was almost certain that the Nine Shadows Hall knew the secret of this fragment, and they collected it in a big way, in an attempt to restore the complete artifact!

"This fragment...... What the hell is it?" Ye Shuo asked in a deep voice.

The Seven Venerables still looked cold: "You don't need to know. ”

Ye Shuo sneered, he had already regarded the Nine Shadows Hall as a lifelong enemy, and now that the other party had come to the door by himself, and it happened to be in time when he was in a bad mood, then don't blame yourself, use them as a punching bag!

"A piece of shard is already so powerful...... I will never hand it over to you, and then go to the scourge of the world!"

With a roar, Ye Shuo jumped up, the blazing fire lingered in his palm, and slapped straight towards the Seven Venerables.

The Seven Venerables shook their heads and sighed, as if they were sighing at the young man's stubbornness. At this time, he was still standing in place, without using spiritual power or martial arts, but just struck out with a fluttering palm, and a powerful shock ripple formed out of thin air, Ye Shuo crashed into it, as if he had hit an extremely fast cannonball, and his body immediately shook back several feet.

"Young man, your strength is too far from the deity, so don't be forced to be righteous for a while and give your life in vain. The Seven Venerables said lightly, looking down at Ye Shuo, just like looking at an ant.

"This kid...... After three years, has it become so weak?" Chu Tianyao's eyes flashed, and he didn't know whether he was happy or worried.

If he died so easily at the hands of the Seven Venerables, it would really be a great credit for me to give it to others......

Looking at the two figures in the distance, Chu Tianyao calmed his breathing again and again. Ye Shuoqi can be said to be the enemy who changed his entire life, all because of him, he rebelled against his relatives in the Dingtian Mountain Range, and had to take risks to fall into the devil...... It's been three years, even though he is now in a high position, his hatred for him has never been reduced by half a point.

Such a lifelong feud suddenly approached him, and Chu Tianyao had to use all his restraint to suppress his spiritual power and not disperse. But his hand clinging to the back of the sand dune was already covered with green tendons.

As soon as Ye Shuo retreated, the soles of his feet dragged out two deep ravines on the ground, and he was panting. According to his judgment, the strength of these Seven Venerables is probably at least in the middle of the second order of Tongtian, which is indeed too much pressure for himself......

Is that the only way to do it...... Ye Shuo pondered for a long time, then decisively raised his hands and slowly traced in mid-air, the power of the invisible law distorted the space, and flipped into shape between his ten fingers, like a transparent film.

"Time Realm!"

The barrier rapidly expanded, enveloping him and the Seven Venerables at the same time. The speed of time in this space has also undergone subtle changes.

Thanks to his comprehension in the Time Clock Tower, Ye Shuo's control of the power of time has deepened again. Even in the face of an enemy like the Seven Venerables, it can be a ...... to rely on to fight back!

"Time ......," the Eight Venerables' eyes narrowed slightly. I can't imagine that a qi-level kid can already use this level of time secret method. And three years ago, when he faced his own pursuit, he obviously still didn't master this trick...... This kid is really a scourge.

The Seven Venerables felt the realm covering their bodies, and their eyes were instantly moved. Soon, however, his expression turned indifferent, and it was clear that this level of oppression alone was not enough to make him feel threatened.

Ye Shuo clenched his teeth and concentrated on controlling the field in his hand. He also knew that this was not enough, so what if he added this trick that combined with the laws of space......?

Within the realm, cracks formed automatically, and in each crack, a serpentine lightning bolt was pushed. In the Tao of Space, they will increase infinitely through spatial reproduction, and in the Tao of Time, their increasing trajectory will connect the past, present, and future...... The infinity of infinite superposition, which is called-

"Super Infinite Stacking Attack!"
