Under the majestic gaze of the portrait of the head, the conversation between the two sides continued.

Master Chu sat on the bed, Xiao Tong stood on the side of the bed, his expression was a little gloomy, but he still gently rubbed his shoulders for Master Chu.

When he said the words of asking Cheng Liang to help take care of Xiaotong, the aura of the whole person of the Chu Sect changed, and the last trace of sharpness disappeared, replaced by a real sense of old age.

He was like an ordinary old grandfather, looking back on the past, and Cheng Liang, like a well-behaved junior, sat quietly on the chair next to the bed and listened.

The master of the Chu Sect turned his head and asked lightly, "Has the Lord of the Divine Envoy been to other sects?"

Cheng Liang shook his head and replied: "Don't hide it from my predecessors, Shattered Sky Valley is the first martial arts sect I visited in person. ”

The master of the Chu Sect asked again: "Then dare to ask the Divine Envoy, is the appearance of the Shattered Heaven Valley consistent with the sect imagined by the Lord?"

Cheng Liangyao remembered what he had seen and heard in the past two days, except for the Duanmulin master and apprentice who was obviously different, the other places were fine.

The disciples trained their martial arts and honed their exercises in the valley, and they gathered in groups in this paradise-like sect......

Well, but there are special places too.

Cheng Liang replied: "Everywhere else, it's all fine, except for one thing, which is different from what I imagined." ”

"Where is it?"

Cheng Liang shrugged his shoulders honestly, "In my imagination, a famous sect like Shattered Sky Valley should be of the same mind, and the disciples under the sect not only have a perfect division, but also have a unity of thought like a whole.

But the Shattered Heaven Valley I saw was not so much a complete sect as a temporary alliance composed of multiple sects, and this 'Heaven-shattering' courtyard was like an independent sect, and the other courtyards where the other elders were located were more like an independent individual. ”

Cheng Liang frowned and shook his head, "It's obviously a martial arts sect, but it's like a national court, with clear factions, full of open and secret battles." ”

Cheng Liang's words were a little direct, but Master Chu was not annoyed, but nodded approvingly.

"Then the divine envoy thinks, what is the reason that caused me to fall into the current state of the Shattered Heaven Valley?"

Cheng Liang had a good impression of Duanmulin Master and Apprentice, but he owed it to Shattered Sky Valley, and replied without thinking: "The old master can't go out of retreat, and the master of Chu has also lost his power due to illness, and the huge sect has no leader, so it will naturally fall apart." ”

The master of the Chu Sect looked at Feng Chai and Jiang Jirou, who were standing not far away, and asked, "The two of you are the contemporary Shuangjiao of Liren Villa, right?"

When the two young people were said by the old-timers, their faces suddenly turned red, and they didn't dare to do it.

The master of the Chu Sect nodded appreciatively, and asked again: "Tell me about the two of you, the Liren Mountain Villa where you are located, does it have the scene where I am now?"

Jiang Jirou shook his head again and again, firmly denying: "This is not the case in our sect. ”

Feng Chai hesitated for a moment, and then whispered under the surprised eyes of Jiang Jirou and the others: "Everyone present has nothing to hide, I have established a villa, and there are such signs, but it is not so serious." ”

Jiang Jirou was taken aback, "Why did Senior Brother say this, how could I not know ......?"

Feng Chai shook his head at her, signaling that the matter would be discussed later.

Jiang Jirou, who has always been strong, has a bitter face, but she doesn't know anything about such a big thing......

For her, it is not easy to be a flower that is carefully protected.

The master of the Chu Sect was not surprised by this, "That little friend will tell me, why is there a disagreement within such a major sect as Liren Villa, which is second to none, now." ”

Feng Chai sighed, his face full of sadness.

"Because of the demon clan, because of the lessons of other sects, many people in the village have been shaken. ”

Master Chu waved his hand to signal that Xiao Tong didn't need to rub his shoulders for him anymore, he leaned his head back on the back of the bed behind him, closed his eyes, and his face became more and more vicissitudes.

"Ever since the fall of the kingdoms of the human race twenty years ago, a difficult problem has been imposed on a sect like ours in the Shattered Sky Valley, which is in the area occupied by the demon race.

Whether to choose racial righteousness or choose the survival of the sect. ”

Cheng Liang was stunned for a moment, and was puzzled for a while.

"What do you mean by this?"

"The reason why Shizun is in retreat is because he took the whole sect to the war with the demon clan, and was seriously injured, he could have safely set foot in the Wuzun realm, but he was also injured to the root, and had to choose to close the retreat, and this closure is twenty years.

Coupled with the many elders who died in the war at that time, the strength of my Shattered Heaven Valley plummeted, and I no longer have the strength of a top-level sect, and there are many sects like my sect. ”

Cheng Liang was in awe for a while, "The master of the Chu Sect is a hero of the rivers and lakes, and the elders who died in battle are also respectable seniors, and the younger generations admire." ”

The master of the Chu Sect sighed.

"If there is a god who makes people who attach such importance to the great festival of the nation admire him, and the free people are dissatisfied with the teacher?"

Cheng Liang was stunned for a moment, "What the master of the Chu Sect is talking about is the demon clan?"

"Nope. Lord Chu opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, or at the direction of the depths of the valley.

"It's our own family. ”

Cheng Liang was startled, and then fell silent.

The master of the Chu Sect said quietly: "They feel that the master did not take the sect as the first consideration, and they are dissatisfied with the disciples of the sect who gave their lives for the sake of the country and the so-called dawn people. ”

Standing behind Cheng Liang, Suzaku's face froze, "Do they feel that their lives are more precious than the people?"

"It's not them. ”

The master of the Chu Sect said a sentence that Cheng Liang had faintly felt before.

"There are many martial artists, and they have long thought that they and ordinary people are two completely different existences. For them, becoming stronger is the only thing worth considering, and the safety of the sect is the top priority.

Cheng Liang replied in a deep voice: "Warriors exist in the country, but they don't recognize themselves as the people of the country. ”

"Exactly. ”

With such an on-demand, Cheng Liang naturally knew what the master of Chu wanted to say.

If you think about it, you can know that although they are cleansed openly, these remnants of the Terran sect will definitely be targeted and tempted by the demon clan in various ways both openly and secretly.

If I could, I am afraid that I would have fled to the last pure land of the human race, the Sharon Federation.

In addition, they either completely fell to the demon clan and sought refuge to maintain the safety of the sect. Or continue to survive on the land that has already fallen.

And the latter, judging from the form in which Feng Chaijiang Jirou and the others will be assassinated two days ago, I am afraid that the patience of the demon clan is about to reach the limit.

Liren Villa, as the leading sect of the human race, the demon clan does not dare to act rashly without reason because the people do not dare to do it, but what about the Shattered Sky Valley?

Cheng Liang asked directly: "Can the master of the Chu Sect inform the juniors that the Ninth Gate of Wanshou Service, what is the purpose of this large-scale transfer to this vicinity?"

The master of the Chu Sect looked back at Cheng Liang fixedly, "There must be someone in my sect who has colluded with the demon clan and wants to take refuge in the demon clan's court, and this group of demon clan lackeys of the ninth gate is here to put pressure on the one hand. ”

Cheng Liang nodded, speaking of this, it is strange that no one in the Shattered Sky Valley has this thought.

"On the other hand, it's naturally for the younger generation, right?"

"Yes, in addition to the Chuanxi Mountain Range, to the north is the Pingchuan River, and the gods will make the Lord pass through the Broken Heaven Valley, so they can wait for the rabbit here for a long time.

But, there is. ”

Cheng Liang really didn't expect that in addition to himself and Shattered Sky Valley, there were other things worth fighting about.

Master Chu patted Xiao Tong beside him.

"And for this kid. ”

What the?!

Xiaotong seemed to have known about this for a long time, and was not as surprised as others, but just like a child who had done something wrong, he lowered his head and tightened the corners of his clothes with his hands on his waist.

"Right...... I'm sorry. ”

Cheng Liang listened to the slightly choked voice, his heart tightened, and he stretched out his hand and touched Xiaotong's head comfortingly.

"Xiaotong, you're not wrong, why are you saying I'm sorry?"

Xiaotong lowered his head, and his tone seemed to be full of endless self-blame: "Because...... It was Xiaotong who lured those bad guys over. ”

Cheng Liang looked at the master of Chu on the bed suspiciously.

"Xiaotong, she is the princess of Bohai Kingdom. ”

The moment he heard this, Cheng Liang's heart was tasteless.

Surprised, gloomy, wry......

and empathy.

Before everyone could react, Cheng Liang hugged Xiao Tong, who blamed himself, in his arms.

"Don't be afraid, God told my brother not to let those bad guys take you away. ”

The princess of the dead country, he still knows one.
