Chapter 60: The Secret War
"Say it again!" Wang Yin, who was originally sitting on a chair and listening to a little song, jumped up from his seat!
It made a martial artist standing in front of him who was only a mid-level martial artist break out in a cold sweat, and he had to repeat it again: "Elder Lan Hong asked me to pass on the message to you, and Zhan Chen came back intact!"
"How did he escape from Lin Dong, and how did he break through from the encirclement of the Demon Sect?" Wang Yin squinted his eyes and looked at the misty sky outside the courtyard, and asked!
Unfortunately, no one will answer the question in his mind.
After a long time, he came back to his senses, but he was a little overwhelmed, how many conspiracies he had planned, how many geniuses he had assassinated, all of them were successful. But this Zhan Chen, whose identity and cultivation are very low, escaped his control twice.
"This is definitely a terrible opponent!" his body shuddered involuntarily as he said this.
But then he laughed out loud again, and muttered to himself: "Yes, what am I afraid of? Which time is it not that I am calculating others? I must think of a way to completely trample this little strong head! While he is not strong enough." Speaking of this, a fierce look flashed in Wang Yin's eyes.
Frightened, the martial artist standing next to him sat on the ground.
Just as Wang Yin was calculating, Zhan Chen came to the Feiyun Hall and knelt down in front of Zhao He. Although Zhao He had already learned the news of Zhan Chen's survival, he was still overjoyed after seeing him in person.
Zhan Chen lowered his head and shouted loudly: "Unfilial disciple, I apologize to the master!"
"Hurry up!" Zhao He hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, although this apprentice had not been with him for a long time, he was the most popular, worked hard, and basically mastered his alchemy skills. He had already regarded Zhan Chen as his sole inheritor.
After Zhan Chen got up, he said, "Let the master worry, I have only come back to see you for so long." ”
Zhao He understood him very well, sighed and said, "I understand that you must have your own difficulties, but you have to be prepared, the sect master may look for you?"
"Sect Master looking for me?" Zhan Chen was very surprised.
"Yes, you are the only survivor of that secret mission, and Li Lao'er will definitely come to you to inquire about the situation. ”
Zhan Chen thought so, and now he needed to think more about how to make up an experience over the past year, some secrets were not easy to tell to Li Jianshu.
"Tell me about the teacher, how have you spent this year?" Zhao He asked with concern.
So Zhan Chen was now speculated and sold, how the demon extermination team fell into the trap set by the Powerful Ghost Gate, how Qian Hu covered them to break through, he went through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, escaped, but was seriously injured and fell into the sea, but he was lucky to be rescued by passing ships, tossing and turning, and it took a whole year to finally return to the sect This process is roughly explained.
Obviously, these words are half-truths, not that he doesn't trust the master, but in the current situation, it is better to be careful.
Zhao He was also embarrassed when he heard this, and the two exchanged a few more words of greeting, and then separated.
That night, Zhan Chen was summoned by the sect master, and carefully followed an inner disciple to the Lanling Peak, but what caught his eye was a magnificent hall with three golden characters written on it.
The scale of this hall was more than three times the scale of the Feiyun Hall that he was familiar with, and he secretly thought in his heart: "I'm afraid this is what the inner disciples often say, the main hall for deliberation and decision-making within the sect." ”
He was about to go inside, but he heard the inner disciple in front of him say, "Senior Brother Zhan Chen, the sect master is not here, but in the courtyard at the back. ”
He nodded awkwardly, and followed him from the path next to him to the back of the main hall, and saw two tall buildings, they were the Chuan Gong Pavilion and the Treasure House.
Zhan Chen stared at them with a flash of longing in his eyes, what was stored in the Chuan Gong Pavilion was the best martial arts in the entire Golden Elephant Sect, and only the head and the Supreme Elder were qualified to announce the opening, and the treasure house stored all the wealth collected by the Golden Elephant Sect, all the powerful magic weapons, high-grade elixirs, elixirs and so on were in it, I heard that any thing taken out of it could help the martial artist become strong quickly.
Of course, both the Chuan Gong Pavilion and the Treasury are guarded by an elder with advanced cultivation, and they are usually inaccessible.
Zhan Chen could only take a look, and continued to follow the disciple to the back, and saw a beautiful courtyard built at the back, with different spiritual flowers and trees in the courtyard, small bridges and flowing water, like a fairyland.
Among them, the spiritual energy is abundant, and it forms a spiritual mist, floating in the air, within reach. He secretly admired in his heart, the treatment of the sect master was really different!
He followed the disciple who led the way in front of him into it, and then passed through the paths among the flowers, and saw a pavilion in the distance, in which a man sat and seemed to be drinking tea.
At this time, I saw the disciple who led the way turn his head and said to him, "Zhan Chen, you go over, Sect Master Li is waiting for you in front!" Then he turned around and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
Zhan Chen calmed down his mood a little, then slowly stepped forward, came to the pavilion, and immediately bowed down, shouting: "Disciple Zhan Chen, meet the sect master." ”
"Well, get up!" a voice said slowly, with a natural hint of majesty in his tone.
Only then did Zhan Chen get up and take a look, and what caught his eye was a handsome middle-aged man, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a steep nose, prominent cheekbones, and broad lips, not angry and arrogant. This is the generation of sect masters who control more than 30,000 people in the Golden Elephant Sect - Li Jian Shu.
Zhan Chen was reading Li Jianshu at the same time, Li Jianshu was also looking at Zhan Chen, in his eyes, Zhan Chen was a young handsome, calm and resolute image, the most rare thing was that he was neither humble nor arrogant, but he seemed to be respectful and polite The unique temperament gave him a deep impression.
So he asked, "Are you Zhan Chen?"
"Yes. ”
"Do you know, what am I looking for you today?"
"The disciple understands. ”
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense, you tell everything you know, everything that happened a year ago. ”
So, according to the story he told Zhao He in the morning, Zhan Chen repeated it to Li Jianshu as it was.
While he was talking, Li Jianshu's eyes were always staring at him, giving him a deep sense of oppression. Zhan Chen knew in his heart that this was a warning, even a kind of coercion, forcing him to tell the truth.
It made his heart pound, but on the surface, he still had to keep everything as usual.
It wasn't until he carefully finished compiling the story that Li Jianshu slowly closed his eyes, his face showed a look of pain, and he muttered to himself: "Qian Hu, you are really good, your efforts will not be in vain!"
After a while, he opened his eyes again and said to Zhan Chen: "Zhan Chen, I roughly already know the situation, you can go back." ”
Zhan Chen nodded as if he had been pardoned, and quickly withdrew from the courtyard. Calm returned to the pavilion, and only Li Jianshu was still sitting there. After a while, he suddenly smiled slightly, and said into the air: "This Zhan Chen is really not simple, interesting!"
After leaving Lanling Peak, Zhan Chen hurried back to his small courtyard, and only after closing the door did he breathe a long sigh of relief, don't look at the fact that there seemed to be calm between him and Li Jianshu tonight, but in fact, they were secretly dueling.
In the process of his narration, Li Jianshu kept putting pressure on him, looking for his flaws, in order to judge whether what he said was true, but fortunately, he successfully coped with the past and did not make any mistakes.
Then it seemed to prove his conjecture as well, a day, a day or two...... Until a week passed, Li Jianshu never looked for him again. Zhan Chen also gradually recovered his cultivation trajectory, working hard to master the Golden Light Sword, hoping that it would one day shine in actual combat!
