186 [Pros and Cons]

"Where's Mu Feng?" The four of them were physically and mentally exhausted, and their bones all over their bodies seemed to be scattered, looking at the familiar scenery around them, the familiar people, and when Zhuo Zichen was glad that he had escaped in a hurry, he was incompetent, and suddenly looked at the people in front of him in horror and asked sharply.

"Yes, what about Mu Feng?" Xia Ruolan, who originally showed a hint of joy, glanced around, and her face changed instantly, and she looked at Zhuo Zichen in horror.

"Didn't Mu Feng come back with us?" Zhuo Zichen was also stunned, and pushed away the two Qingxuanzong disciples who were supporting him, and asked eagerly.

"Just when he was standing next to me, when I entered the space, I saw that he was obscured by the white mist," Leng Yue on the side covered his chest, his voice was out of breath, and he replied extremely weakly.

"What else?" The three of them asked eagerly in unison, seeing that they looked like this, many of the Qingxuan Sect disciples around them were confused, especially when they saw that Zhuo Zichen was angry, no one dared to step forward and take the initiative to ask what was going on.

"It's too fast to see clearly." Facing the eagerness of the three of them, Leng Yue frowned, shook her head slightly, and replied in a low voice.

"The scope of opening and inhaling the space jade is limited, I'm afraid Mu Feng really didn't get sucked in time." After listening to Leng Yue's words, his impotent eyes were slightly red, and after exhaling deeply, his voice became extremely cold and calm, and he slowly closed his eyes and passed out in his ears.

Outside the hall, many Qingxuanzong disciples gathered here because of the embarrassment of the arrival of the four of them, and the noisy discussions came one after another, and after a while, Zhuang Bufan in the palace behind everyone hurriedly walked out with several elders.

"How did this happen? What happened? Zhuang Bufan looked the four people in front of him up and down, frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, you shouldn't have stepped out of the Heavenly Stone by now, how did you get like this?" A white-robed elder standing beside Zhuang Bufan asked Zhuo Zichen in confusion while checking the incompetent's injuries.

At the same time, there was a crowd of people on the stone steps leading to the bottom of the mountain, just when Zhuo Zichen told Zhuang Bufan and the elders the ins and outs of the whole thing, Yin Feng ran up from the long stone steps panting, and when Yin Feng, who was sweating hot, saw Zhuo Zichen and the others in front of him, he was also shocked, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"You guys~ what are you doing?" Yin Feng stood in front of Zhuo Zichen and Xia Ruolan with a shocked face and looked at the two.

Yin Feng's speed was fast enough, so that Zhuo Zichen and the others were a little surprised to see Yin Feng appear in front of them at this time, they thought that it would take him at least a day to hurry up, but they didn't expect him to rush back after half a day's effort, but it didn't make any sense for him to come back to move the rescue soldiers at this moment.

In the magnificent palace, dragons and phoenixes are carved and splendid, and next to a delicate marble round table, Zhuang Bufan and several elders are sitting together, and Zhuo Zichen and Yin Feng are standing respectfully in front of them.

"Okay, now you can say what's in that lake, it's actually made you so embarrassed, and the top ten of the dignified Immortal Society actually made it look like this!" The main hall of Nuoda seemed a little empty at the moment, and many disciples of the Qingxuan Sect were forbidden to enter the hall, Zhuang Bufan's face was gloomy and his voice was slightly angry and he asked the two people in front of him.

Zhuang Bufan's voice of hating iron and steel echoed in the hall, and Zhuo Zichen and Yin Feng both frowned and had complicated expressions.

"No branches." After pondering for a moment, the two replied earnestly in unison.

"What?" Several Qingxuanzong elders suddenly changed their faces when they heard these three words, and they all looked at the two of them with shocked expressions.

"Say it again!" Zhuang Bufan's brows furrowed, and his expression became solemn.

"If we are not mistaken, it should be the legendary Wuzhiqi, and there are countless brutal mermaids in the lake." Zhuo Zichen's expression was complicated, he looked up at Zhuang Bufan, looked at each other, and replied seriously.

"It's impossible, Wuzhiqi is just a legend." A white-haired elder got up from his seat and refuted sharply, not only him, but except for Zhuang Bufan, who frowned and didn't say a word, the other elders were also talking to each other, obviously they didn't believe that what Zhuo Zichen said about Wuzhiqi really existed.

"The disciple doesn't dare to say anything, even if it is not Wuzhiqi, it is also a fierce beast with extremely strong combat effectiveness, far from being comparable to ordinary demonic beasts, and there are countless mermaids in the lake, and now Mu Feng's life and death are even more uncertain, I implore the elders to go to that lake immediately to eliminate the demon guard."

Facing the doubts of the many elders in front of him, Zhuo Zichen felt angry in his heart, they had fought desperately on the front line of life and death outside, but there was still so much red tape when they came back.

Zhuo Zichen is clean, decisive and resolute, these elders in front of him give him the feeling that he is too pedantic and cautious, how not to make Zhuo Zichen anxious?

"Mu Feng?" After listening to Zhuo Zichen's words, Yin Feng, who was standing beside Zhuo Zichen, suddenly trembled, and his gentle and elegant face changed greatly at this moment, revealing horror.

"Mu Feng couldn't use the space jade slip with us to come back, I'm afraid that it is now ~~ In any case, the lake is definitely not a good place, there are still so many demonic beasts gathered together in the inland area of our human realm, and sooner or later it will become a big disaster!" Zhuo Zichen's eyes converged, his fists clenched, and he nodded in a deep voice and said.

"What are you going to do?" Zhuang Bufan, who had been pondering for a long time, suddenly spoke, and many elders who were a little noisy also immediately quieted down.

"It's up to the elders." Zhuo Zichen was a little surprised, and then replied respectfully.

"You're the chief, and I'd like to hear your opinion." Zhuang Bufan said in a calm voice.

Hearing him say this, Zhuo Zichen was stunned for a moment, and then felt a burst of joy in his heart, in the past, he only listened obediently at this level of meeting, and then he carried out the plan discussed by these elders to the letter, and now it is finally his turn to speak?

In fact, not only Zhuo Zichen, but many of the chief disciples of the Immortal Sect were in the learning stage in the first few years of their tenure, and what they needed to do was to learn from the elders, not only to learn the occult cultivation, but also to learn their old calculations, and then to implement the results discussed by the elders.

After surviving the life of the errand shop junior in the past few years, if the elders feel that you are not suitable to continue to serve as the chief, they will not hesitate to change people, after all, the chief will inherit the position of the sect master in the future, so all the immortal sects are cautious about this position, when your elders take the initiative to seek your opinion, it means that your position in their minds has been temporarily stable, it is no wonder that Zhuo Zichen will feel ecstatic when he hears Zhuang Bufan ask for his opinion, if it is not for the special situation, I am afraid that he will laugh out loud now.

"The disciple believes that the top priority should be to immediately summon people with lofty ideals from all walks of life in the name of Qingxuanzong to go to the so-called holy lake to eliminate demons, because the lake is too big, and it is unknown how many unknown demonic beasts are in it, only our Qingxuanzong is afraid that we have more than enough heart and not enough strength, so many demonic beasts have accumulated here, but we have never noticed it for so long, and allowing them to multiply will inevitably evolve into a disaster."

Zhuo Zichen pondered for a moment, and then arched his hand to the many elders in front of him and seriously said his thoughts and countermeasures.

"Well, it's nice that you can think of that. However, the old man of Nahu also passed by a few years ago, and did not find the existence of demonic beasts such as the shark people you mentioned, and it is difficult to be convincing if you only rely on your strategy to mobilize the people to issue a summoning order. ”

A white-robed elder sitting next to Zhuang Bufan, after listening to Zhuo Zichen's thoughts, pondered for a while, got up, frowned slightly, and said in a calm voice.

"Is Elder Wei saying that we are alarmist?" Hearing him say this, after Zhuo Zichen and Yin Feng glanced at each other, their expressions became a little embarrassed and gloomy.

"Where are we all going to die to prove that what we are saying?" Zhuo Zichen has already scolded the eight generations of these elders and ancestors in front of him in his heart, maybe this is the ideological surprise and generation gap.

These older generation of people always like to think deeply when encountering things, and Zhuo Zichen is a typical acute child decisive and resolute, it stands to reason that Zhuo Zichen is also used to them like this, what happened in the past, a group of elders will always get together to discuss and argue, often a matter that seems simple to him, they old guys can also compete for hours or even days.

But now maybe he has suffered a big loss in the Holy Lake, and Mu Feng's life and death are uncertain because of this, Zhuo Zichen looked at the elders in front of him who were still indecisive and angry.

"Zhuo Zichen pay attention to your attitude!" Seeing Zhuo Zichen's voice gloomy, powerful, and aggressive, Zhuang Bufan's face turned cold, and he whispered to him.

"Yes, the disciple is too anxious, please forgive the sin." Hearing Zhuang Bufan's scolding, Zhuo Zichen exhaled deeply and replied modestly.

"As soon as the summoning order is issued, the entire continent will be alarmed, this matter must be considered in the long run, and there is another matter that is also imminent, in my opinion, you should continue to go to the Ancient Sword Sect, and it doesn't hurt to slow down the affairs there for the time being." An elder stood up and looked at Zhuo Zichen and Yin Feng with a worried expression and said softly.

"Could it be that the matter of the Ancient Sword Sect is even more serious than that holy lake?" Yin Feng asked unwillingly.

"No, I'm sure you've been injured and even used the Spatial Jade to escape, the lake must be extremely dangerous, and that's why we have to be cautious. Okay, you're tired, go down and rest! ”

After listening to the words of these elders in front of them, Zhuo Zichen and Yin Feng both frowned and stopped in front of them and were reluctant to leave, according to their understanding of them, I am afraid that this matter will be delayed again, and in the end, it may not be over, more than ten elders have more than ten different opinions, and it is difficult to make them stubborn old guys unify their thoughts.

Some are for personal gain, some take care of the overall situation, some are cowardly, and some only want to preserve their strength so that Qingxuanzong does not participate, and increase the influence of Qingxuanzong.

"The disciple can't figure it out!" After a while, Zhuo Zichen said in a low voice.

"Are you disobeying us now?" An elder frowned, stood up, looked at Zhuo Zichen with a gloomy face, and asked.

"The disciple doesn't dare, it's just that the lake is only a few hundred miles away from my Qingxuan Sect, if those beasts have enough strength to make waves, how can I resist the Qingxuan Sect? The mainland finally settled down, and countless immortal sects fought bloodily for a hundred years to force these beasts back in the barbarian land, and now there are so many demonic beasts in that lake, do we want to raise tigers for trouble? ”

Zhuo Zichen frowned and replied solemnly, his tone became much tougher, Yin Feng, who was standing beside him, nodded in agreement when he saw this, and at the same time he was also anxious, what happened to Mu Feng He still doesn't know, he can only hope that this matter will be solved as soon as possible, maybe Mu Feng still has a chance of life.

Although Yin Feng knew in his heart that even Zhuo Zichen had to use the space jade slip to escape with everyone, and the possibility of Mu Feng's survival was very small, he still had a glimmer of hope for this, he didn't want Mu Feng who was tricked by fate in every way but still maintained a resolute heart to disappear.

"You two go down first." In the face of the two of them being so resolute, it seemed that they would not leave if they did not agree today, all the elders in the hall frowned, their expressions became solemn, and after half a sound, Zhuang Bufan got up and glanced at the two of them meaningfully, and said in a low voice.

"But~~"

"Forget it, senior brother, the elders have their own decisions, let's go out first." Just when Zhuo Zichen was about to say something, Yin Feng, who was standing beside him, gently pulled his sleeve with a slight frown, shook his head at him, and whispered.

Zhuo Zichen, who was pulled out of the hall by Yin Feng, was furious, and under his angry gaze, many Qingxuanzong disciples outside the hall hurriedly scattered, which showed his majesty in the minds of these disciples.

"Why don't you argue with reason?" Zhuo Zichen asked sharply at the Yin Feng beside him.

"Senior brother, the elders have to take care of the overall situation, think about it, our Qingxuan Sect can't kill that lake with the strength of the whole sect, right? The lake is so big, how deep is the water, and how many monsters are there in the water? We don't know anything, what can the elders do? Yin Feng shook his head with a solemn expression and explained softly.

"That's why I said that I would issue a convening order in the name of Qingxuanzong!" Zhuo Zichen replied coldly.

"Senior brother, you take it for granted, the summoning order can be issued, it can be issued at any time, in fact, the elders already believed what we said when they saw us. But think about it, if a summoning order was issued saying that a large number of powerful demonic beasts were found in the lake two hundred miles away from our Qingxuan Sect, what would the world think of this problem? ”

Yin Feng shook his head helplessly, looked at the angry Zhuo Zichen in front of him, and said seriously.

"You mean??" Hearing this, Zhuo Zichen also trembled suddenly, and suddenly realized.
