Chapter 108: A Difficult Task
"Elder Qiu, when are we leaving?" asked Zhan Chen.
Qiu Wuya smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, you can heal your injuries first." ”
Zhan Chen nodded in agreement.
With the help of Qiu Wuya's healing elixir, ten days later, Zhan Chen had already recovered as before, and he and this Great Elder of the Lanfeng Sect hurried towards the Lanfeng Sect.
Before entering the mountain gate of the Lanfeng Sect, Qiu Wuya handed Zhan Chen a black cloak and said, "When you enter the sect later, put this on." ”
Zhan Chen couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Why are you so mysterious?" But he still followed what Qiu Wuya said, and put the cloak on his body. In this way, others can no longer see his appearance clearly.
Qiu Wuya led him straight up the mountain, bends and walked a long way, and came to the top of a peak, where the aura was extremely rich, and even formed a spiritual mist and spiritual rain, and a nine-story exquisite pavilion was embedded in the depths of this dense cloud, embraced by countless spiritual trees and spiritual flowers, and its scenery was like a fairyland.
Zhan Chen looked up and saw a large plaque hanging on the lintel on the first floor of the pavilion, with three big characters on it: "Listening to the Wind Pavilion".
"You wait here, I'll go upstairs and report first. Qiu Wuya said that, he went upstairs, and after a while he returned and said to him, "We can go up." ”
Zhan Chen nodded, followed behind Qiu Wuya, and walked up to the tall building. Along the way, he looked around curiously, the carved railings in the attic, the mural decoration, it looked extremely elegant, and he secretly praised in his heart: "The medium-sized sect is really a big deal, and even I can't see such a luxurious decoration in the room of the sword book." ”
They went straight to the ninth floor. At this time, Qiu Wuya reminded on the side: "Zhan Chen, you can take off your cloak!"
Zhan Chen nodded, put away the black cloak, and revealed his true face. Qiu Wuya opened the door, and the two walked into the house one after the other.
This is just a small elegant room, but it is very decorated, the spacious balcony, is also planted with spirit flowers, spirit grass, in the meantime a middle-aged man is taking care of them, seems to be immersed in it, I don't know where the two of them are coming.
Qiu Wuya bowed his hand: "Sect Master Ling, I brought Zhan Chen here." ”
Only then did Ling Xiaotian turn around and say to Qiu Wuya with a smile, "There is Elder Laoqiu. ”
"Wherever and wherever I can, being able to contribute to this sect is my boundless blessing. Qiu Wuya replied respectfully, then turned to Zhan Chen behind him and said, "Zhan Chen, come and meet Sect Master Ling." ”
Zhan Chen took a step forward, bowed down with his hand, and said loudly: "Golden Elephant Sect disciple Zhan Chen, meet Sect Master Ling." ”
"Okay, get up, let me see. Ling Xiaotian said with a smile.
Only then did Zhan Chen raise his head and stand up straight, Ling Xiaotian looked him up and down for a while, and couldn't help nodding and praised: "Well, sure enough, it's a hero who is a young man, and this little guy Li Jianshu has cultivated a good disciple." ”
Zhan Chen replied modestly, "Sect Master Ling, you have praised it falsely. ”
At this time, Qiu Wuya on the side couldn't help but step forward and said: "Sect Master Ling, this kid Zhan Chen is not only a martial arts wizard, but also has an upright nature, a persevering personality, and a witty and adaptable person, and he is a person who can achieve great things. ”
"Hahaha!" Ling Xiaotian couldn't help but look up to the sky and laughed, and teased: "Brother Wuya, just now you said a lot of good things to me about Zhan Chen as soon as you came up, and now you will continue to praise him, it can be seen that you have a soft spot for this kid!"
Qiu Wuya's old face flushed, a little embarrassed, but he still continued: "Sect Master, in short, what I said is the truth. ”
So, he reported everything he saw at the Wang family in Wumei Town to Ling Xiaotian, especially focusing on the process of Zhan Chen's battle against Wang Yunfeng.
The more Ling Xiaotian listened, the more surprised he became, and his eyes towards Zhan Chen gradually changed, because he knew that even if he was in the Martial Master Great Perfection stage back then, he would not be able to challenge the Martial Venerable powerhouse.
At the end, Qiu Wuya said, "Sect Master Ling, don't you sigh often, if only our Righteous Dao Sect also had secret agents lurking in the Demon Gate, and could transmit the movements of the Demon Gate at any time?"
"At first, the old man also secretly thought that this was just talk, but since I met Zhan Chen, I have changed this mind, if I let someone like him take on this heavy responsibility, maybe it can really succeed!"
As soon as this bold remark came out, Zhan Chen was frightened, and hurriedly said: "Senior Qiu, you're not joking, are you? I'm not a cultivator of demonic skills, and I'm going to show my feet as soon as I go!"
Ling Xiaotian, who was on the side, was silent, lowered his head and thought for a while, but said, "Maybe it's really possible." ”
Zhan Chen was a little anxious and said, "How can this work?"
Ling Xiaotian looked at Zhan Chen's anxious appearance, looked at Qiu Wuya and smiled, but said to him: "Zhan Chen, don't worry that you will show your stuffing, in fact, the structure of the Demon Gate is much looser than you think, to be precise, people in the Demon Gate do not necessarily have to practice Demon Skills and eat human flesh and blood. ”
"What's going on?" Zhan Chen couldn't help but ask.
Ling Xiaotian continued to explain: "Hehe, you don't know the inside story of the Demon Gate, so there will be misunderstandings, although the people of the Demon Gate are cruel and unreasonable, they still need the help of the world to collect cultivation resources, so that they can stand tall for a long time and compete with us on the right path. The country controlled by the Demon Gate is actually no different from our Houyan Kingdom, but the people who live in it have a more cruel way of survival. ”
"Therefore, within the Demon Sect, there will still be non-Demon cultivators coming and going, and there have even been cases in history of defection disciples of our Righteous Path Sect to join the Demon Sect, these disciples are valued by the Demon Sect because they are familiar with the reality of our Righteous Path Sect, but they are valued by the Demon Sect, which is not a small disaster!"
"Now Elder Qiu means that you will join the Demon Sect as a defected disciple of the Golden Elephant Sect and pass on the news for us, if this plan can be successful, it will be of no greater help to us!"
Zhan Chen was silent for a while, this is a thankless errand, not only will he have the infamy of defection, but once his identity is found out by the Demon Gate, he will definitely die without a place to be buried.
Seeing that Zhan Chen was still hesitating, Qiu Wuya gritted his teeth and bowed down to him.
Seeing this, Zhan Chen hurriedly shouted: "Elder Qiu, this can't be helped, you are my savior!"
Qiu Wuya raised his head and said to him: "Zhan Chen, the old man begs you, this matter belongs to you." First, your cultivation is not high, so it will not arouse too much vigilance from the people of the Demon Gate, and second, only a person like you who is wise and brave, with a tenacious heart, and jealousy and hatred, can we do it!"
Ling Xiaotian saw that he was still hesitating, and said again: "Zhan Chen, I know that you have been wronged, I swear to you, after the matter is completed, I will not only clear your name, but also fully support you to break through the realm of the Martial King and the Martial Emperor!"
"At present, the Demon Dao is rampant, the righteous path is declining, and we don't know the specific plan of the Demon Sect, so all the sects in the Houyan Kingdom will face the test of survival! Once the Demon Gate invades, it will definitely be ruined, so if you can succeed, you will be the hero of our entire Righteous Dao Sect!"
Zhan Chen was finally a little moved, not because of the high hat that Ling Xiaotian gave him, or those ethereal rewards, but because Houyan Country was his motherland, the Golden Elephant Sect was his home, and the sect had his own masters, girlfriends, and friends.
He participated in the secret mission to exterminate the Demon Gate, and he also witnessed the ferocity of the Demon Cultivator. If his efforts can really be exchanged for peace, then he is willing to do it!
So he finally made up his mind, raised his head, and said to Qiu Wuya: "Senior, this life of mine was saved by you, if my contribution is really helpful to you, I am willing to fight for this life." ”
"Well done! Zhan Chen, the old man didn't misunderstand you!" Qiu Wuya said happily.
Ling Xiaotian was also very happy, and then he groaned for a while, and said: "Zhan Chen, these days, you have been here to meditate and recuperate, and I will write a letter of resignation to you Sect Master Li, so that he can come and discuss this matter together." ”
After more than ten days, Li Jianshu rushed to the Lan Feng Sect to discuss the matter with Ling Xiaotian, Qiu Wuya, and Zhan Chen, and set a secret plan, and no fifth person knew about this matter.
A month later, Zhan Chen's wanted portrait appeared on the streets and alleys of Houyan Kingdom, and he exaggerated that his methods were cruel, and people and gods were angry, slaughtering more than 100 people from the Wang family in Wumei Town.
Subsequently, the matter spread to the Golden Elephant Sect, after Li Jianshu learned of this, he was furious, and immediately convened all the elders to discuss this matter, and the final result was: Severely punish Zhan Chen, confiscate his elite disciple qualifications, expel him from the Golden Elephant Sect, and offer a reward to encourage the disciples in the sect to arrest him, whether he lives or dies!
Even if Zhao He and Su Yun deliberately lobbied up and down for this, they could not change the decision of the Golden Elephant Sect's high-level officials to punish him.
As soon as the turmoil spread, the entire Golden Elephant Sect was boiling and in an uproar, and Zhan Chen suddenly fell from a hero of the Golden Elephant Sect to a disciple of the traitorous sect!
