Chapter 145: Half a Man
Somewhere at the foot of Excalibur Peak, a gray-robed man stood with his back in his hands. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He stared at the misty Excalibur Peak, a layer of mist attached to his face kept changing, making it impossible to see his face at all, only a faintly revealed pair of eyes showed indifference, and occasionally the essence swept over and didn't know what he was thinking.
Suddenly, the sound of Suo Suo sounded behind him, and several monks dressed in black appeared, and when they saw him, they all fell on one knee and saluted.
"Xuanyi has seen the Dizi Elder with the leaders of the Xuanzi!" said the black-clothed man respectfully.
"Well, get up. The gray-robed man nodded lightly, but did not turn around, and his neutral voice was unpredictable and could not distinguish between men and women, making it impossible to guess his identity.
Hearing this, Xuan Yi bowed his head and stood up in thanks, and when he got up, the other black-robed people followed suit, showing that they were hierarchical and disciplined.
After a long time, the gray-robed man's voice sounded again.
"The old man is ranked fifth, you can call me the fifth elder. ”
"I've seen the Fifth Elder!" Xuan Yi shouted respectfully with a few black-clothed people.
The Fifth Elder nodded, his tone suddenly solemn.
"Thirty-three people in the dark, the thirteen people who participated in this operation, why only a few of you came?"
Xuan Yi hurriedly lowered his head and clenched his fists: "Fifth Elder, all the brothers who came this time were able to pull away, except for Xuan Shi, the other brothers were all dragged away and couldn't pull away, and they forcibly left for fear of being noticed, so they didn't come." ”
"Xuan Shi?" the fifth elder tilted his head slightly and thought for a moment, "It's stationed in Feixue Peak, right?"
"Yes, it's the shadow son stationed in Feixue Peak. "Xuan nodded a little," Xuan Shi has had a lot of dealings with a female cultivator of Feixue Peak in recent years, and has a faint intention of becoming a Taoist couple, and he also seemed quite hesitant when he received the task this time, and his actions were not as crisp as before. Therefore, at this meeting, his subordinates were afraid that the plan would be leaked, so they did not inform Xuan Shi. ”
"Hehe, the comfortable days of the Taixu Palace have passed for a long time, and some people have forgotten how they came here and what their original intention was. The Fifth Elder's voice was gentle, but the cold meaning between the lines came out spontaneously.
Xuan Yi's heart was cold, and he exchanged inexplicable glances with a few black-clothed people beside him, and then looked at the five elders.
"What should Xuan Shi do, please make it clear to the elders!"
"Alas, Feixue Peak is windy and snowy, even if a monk doesn't pay attention, he will fall, poor Xuan Shi, he suffered such a catastrophe at a young age, it is really regrettable and lamentable. The tone of the five elders was sad, revealing a thick sentimentality like the loss of a child, which made people want to cry.
Listening to his sad words, Xuan Yi's hearts were full of chills. They knew that Xuan Shi had already been sentenced to death in a few words from the five elders.
Taking a slow breath, Xuan Yi said in a deep voice: "Xuan Shi's life is not good, and he died young, which is really regrettable." His subordinates have worked with Xuan Shi for many years and are like brothers, and today when he heard that his brother died, his subordinates were sad, and they only hoped that his family in Dayan would be able to mourn after learning the news, and not be too excited and make any mistakes. ”
Hearing this, the five elders turned around, and the eyes faintly revealed in the mist stared at Xuan Yi with a fine light, but Xuan Yi was unmoved, and stared at the eyes of the five elders deadly.
The few black-clothed people around him didn't move at all, but they were already covered in cold sweat under their clothes.
They are the shadows that Dayan planted in the Taixu Palace, although the time is different sooner or later, and almost all of them are single-line contacts, but the feeling of loneliness and loneliness in the enemy camp makes them like brothers to Xuan Yi, who commands all the Xuanzi.
They barely knew each other, but Genyi was their recognized eldest brother, the only person they could trust, rely on, and confide in in this dangerous place where they were enemies at every turn.
This time, Xuan Yi informed Xuan Shi's secret to the fifth elder of the earth, and the shameless act of betraying his brother made several secret sons have no objection, and even support it very much.
Because they are shadows, they are the inner ghosts sent to the Taixu Palace by Dayan, and they can't see the light. If the identity is revealed, then the seemingly peaceful Taixu Palace may not have any good fruits for them to enjoy.
And they all have more or less handles to be caught in Dayan's hands, once their identities are revealed and caught, if they spit out something that shouldn't be said, then it is not a matter of their death.
Therefore, although Xuan Shi was sentenced to death, although they were also a little sad, they were just sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox. If they were Xuanyi, I am afraid that they would not report it at all and directly took action to clear this hidden danger, you must know that this is related to everyone's net worth.
At this time, seeing that Xuan Yi dared to make a big deal to the elders of the earth and wanted to protect Xuan Shi's family, several secret sons were full of nervousness and extremely moved, and they couldn't help but trust this "big brother" a little more.
The Fifth Elder and Xuan Yi looked at each other for a long time, and just when Xuan Yi's eyes were blood-red and his body were trembling faintly, the Fifth Elder smiled lightly and withdrew his gaze.
"Hehe, don't worry, my Dayan Dynasty will naturally not treat heroes badly, especially those who died in the line of duty, and Xuanshi's family Dayan will take care of it, don't worry. ”
"The five elders are merciful, Xuan Yi has thanked the five elders for ten years!" Xuan Yi bowed in thanks, and the cold sweat on his face rolled down his face with a faint pain.
The Fifth Elder smiled noncommittally, and instead asked, "How are you looking?"
Xuan Yi knew what he was asking, and bowed down and answered: "Back to the fifth elder, a total of fifty-nine suspects have been found in the past year or so, and after investigation, there are seventeen people left. This time, I took the opportunity of the Divine Sword Peak to the sky to screen again, and in the end, there were eight and a half people left. ”
"Eight and a half people, what's the matter with those half people?" the five elders were full of curiosity.
"Back to the fifth elder, more than seventy percent of those half of the people are similar to what the intelligence shows, but after investigation, it was found that this person was forcibly promoted by the power of the elixir, so he reached the stage of knotting the pill at a young age. Originally, it was excluded before, but today, Xiaobi's subordinates reported that this young man defeated the monk in the late stage of Yudan with his cultivation in the middle stage of Yudan, so I counted him as half a person in the list. Genichi explained.
"Kind of interesting, hehe. The Fifth Elder smiled lightly, and his voice turned solemn, "Although it would be much riskier to add one more person, this time there was an order from the court, saying that it would be at all costs. It's better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let go of one, and that half of the people are counted, and you can arrange it specifically. ”
"Yes!" Xuan Yi immediately responded.
After thinking about it, Xuan Yi asked with some hesitation: "Elder, our operation is before the Tongtian Great Competition, will the risk be a little too great?" You must know that in the Tongtian Great Competition of the Taixu Palace, the peak masters and elders of each peak will come, and the head Lu Heng will come in person. If they notice something, how can they be afraid ......"
The fifth elder shook his head slightly: "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements." The most dangerous time is also the safest time, and the reason why I chose to act at this time is because no one would have thought that we would act at this time. As long as they don't find out beforehand, then it's half the battle. ”
"So what if they find out beforehand?" Xuan Yi was still a little uneasy.
"No, it won't!"
The fifth elder shook his head affirmatively, and seeing Xuan Yi's puzzled face, he smiled slightly.
"Because, the action is tonight. ”
"Tonight?!" Xuan Yi exclaimed in a low voice, and several Xuan Zi Shadows behind him were also in a commotion.
They didn't expect the five elders to do what they said, and they actually set the time for action tonight.
"You see, even if you don't think of it, no one else will think of it. Tonight is the best time!" The Fifth Elder smiled, his voice a little smug.
Xuan Yi hesitated a little, and asked after being silent for a long time: "Fifth Elder, do you want to wait any longer?" Now the target range is still too much, if you act tonight, I am afraid that there will be accidents in many linkages." ”
The Fifth Elder shook his head and said in a low voice, "We can't wait any longer, tonight is the best time." If we wait any longer, the elders and peak masters of the peaks, and even Lu Heng will come, and then we won't have the slightest chance. It doesn't matter if there is an accident, if you can take one away, if you can't take it away, you can kill it directly. ”
Xuan Yi thought about it and knew that what the Fifth Elder said was right, now was indeed the best time, so he nodded and agreed.
After thinking about it, the fifth elder said again: "Tonight's action, a few of you are only responsible for the command, and the disciples who will go after the 20th will be arranged, and you will be responsible for the specific arrangements." As for Xuan Shi, isn't there still half a person, it's good to arrange for him to go, a little monk in the middle of the Yudan, it doesn't take much effort. Inform the other disciples that after leaving the Taixu Palace, they will solve Xuan Shi. ”
"Fifth Elder, Xuan Shi's cultivation is profound, and his skills are even better, and the disciples after the twentieth may be difficult to defeat him. Xuanyi hesitated.
The fifth elder smiled lightly and stretched out his hand to hand out an elixir.
Xuanyi took it and sniffed it gently, and his face suddenly changed.
"Soul Gu Yin?"
"That's right. The fifth elder chuckled and nodded, "Xuan Shi has been given a Gu, this soul Gu is a medicine that corresponds to the Gu worm in his body, as long as it is crushed near him, it can stimulate the Gu worm attack in his body, not to mention the monk, even an ordinary person can stab him to death with a sword." ”
Xuanyi's heart was cold.
He knew that the methods used by the Dayan Dynasty to control these shadows were different, and many of them did not know what kind of prohibition they were under until they died. At this time, when he heard that Xuan Shi had been planted with this extremely vicious soul Gu, he couldn't help but feel sad in addition to the cold all over his body.
Once the Soul Gu is activated, Xuan Shi's miserable end is predictable, and Xuan is a little unbearable when he thinks about it.
The kind of pain that is not so painful is not as pleasant as killing him with a sword.
The fifth elder looked at Xuan Yi's face and the few people next to him who were silent, knowing what they were thinking, so they smiled in a low voice.
"My Dayan Dynasty has always been fair, and there are rewards and punishments. As long as you work hard for my Dayan, and when you retire after success, my Dayan will naturally not treat you badly. But if he is greedy for comfort in such an unknown situation as Xuan Shi, it will endanger the comfort of other fellow disciples, and my Dayan law will make it clear, so naturally I can't spare him. ”
"Yes, we will follow the teachings of the five elders. Xuan and a few people hurriedly bowed down.
The Fifth Elder nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand to signal that they could leave.
After everyone left, only the five elders were left, and he turned his back again to stare at the Divine Sword Peak.
"I have lived for hundreds of years, and even the old man is a little reluctant, alas!"
After a long time, a faint sigh drifted away with the wind, and the five elders disappeared as if they had never appeared.
