Chapter 23: The Assassins

After listening to Zhang Jiuzhang's suggestion, the people in Qingyunmen were silent. Even the three elders, who were most opposed at the beginning, were silent at this time, their heads bowed, not knowing what they were thinking.

Seeing that the people from Qingyunmen did not answer, Zhang Jiuzhang continued: "The outside of this ancient tomb is protected by the Liangyi Array, and the internal inheritance must not be simple, and it is very likely that the inheritance of the Liangyi Array can be obtained. ”

These words made An Qianshan's heart a little moved, and he said: "Although this matter is a great opportunity, but the danger is extremely high, didn't your Jiuhua Sect enter four disciples and only one came out?"

Seeing that An Qianshan was already a little moved, Zhang Jiuzhang said with a smile: "At this point, Master An can rest assured, this disciple who came out and the one-armed thief Xie An, we have all inquired carefully, and learned that they have a common characteristic, this characteristic can greatly improve the success rate of breaking the formation, even if you can't break the formation successfully, you can come out alive." ”

"What are the characteristics?" An Qianshan asked.

"Their spiritual power is stronger than ordinary people, although they are not formation mages, and they have not specialized in cultivating spiritual power, but they are already born with the ability to release their spiritual power. Therefore, we estimate that one of the conditions for the owner of this tomb to select a successor is spiritual power, so it is inferred that he is a formation mage. Zhang Jiuzhang said.

An Qianshan and the three elders couldn't help but look at Bai Nan.

Bai Nan naturally knew what they were thinking. A few days ago, in the ancestral hall, after the remnant soul of the ancestor forcibly opened it from the spirit world once, Bai Nan's spiritual power was already able to be released, and he would have tried to use it many times during his cultivation these days.

Zhang Jiuzhang said at this time: "So here, the two disciples we selected this time are both disciples who have a good performance in terms of spiritual power. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Jiuzhang pointed to the young man and said, "This one is my son Zhang Qiming, who is eighteen years old and is now ranked eighth among his own disciples. ”

The young man's body straightened, and when he looked at the people in Qingyunmen, the smile on his face became even stronger, and his eyes looked at Han Ruojun from time to time, as if he was showing off, but it was a pity that Han Ruojun didn't pay attention to him at all.

When Bai Nan heard that this person was ranked eighth, he was slightly surprised in his heart. The ranking method of the disciples of the Jiuhua Sect is different from that of the Qingyun Sect, and every year, there will be a ranking competition for the disciples of the Sect, which is ranked from high to low according to their strength.

This Zhang Qiming is meticulous, and he has just ranked eighth, which shows how strong the disciples of the Jiuhua Sect are.

Qingyunmen is now the only one who has entered the first layer of the subtlety, and he has just broken through, even if he counts a few who are about to break through, there are only three or four people. and the Jiuhua faction is almost not a little bit.

Zhang Jiuzhang pointed his finger at the mediocre-looking woman again, and said with a smile: "This one is the chief disciple of my Jiuhua Sect, Ning Xiaoyue, eighteen years old, and has three layers of subtlety. ”

Three layers into the micro?

At this time, Bai Nan was not the only one who was a little surprised, at the age of eighteen to enter the third layer, at this level, it was a sure thing to enter the super power to study. I didn't expect the Jiuhua Sect to have such a genius disciple.

Bai Nanjing stared at Ning Xiaoyue for a long time, stunned that she didn't see any difference from her mediocre appearance, it was hard to imagine that she was a genius disciple with great talent.

At this time, Zhang Qiming suddenly spoke, and said, "My senior sister has been the chief disciple since she started ten years ago, and she has never changed, and she is also a first-grade array mage. ”

"Yipin Array Mage?" the three elders exclaimed in surprise.

Bai Nan glanced at the Third Elder, and he could understand why the other party was like this. Ning Xiaoyue is not only so talented on the path of martial arts, but also has such an excellent formation in cultivation. Others Bai Nan didn't know, but the third elder didn't know that he had bragged in front of him once, why he became a first-grade array mage in his twenties, how amazing he was, etc., now it seems that he can't compare with Ning Xiaoyue at all.

Zhang Jiuzhang said with a smile: "So, this time we have sent core disciples, if we are not sure, we will not let them take risks." Master An, don't you say?"

An Qianshan nodded, and then asked, "How to do this deal?"

Zhang Jiuzhang said: "Fair trade, you give me two places for the Ash Island operation, and I give you two places to enter the battle, how about it?"

The third elder suddenly smiled and said, "The surname is Zhang, you have a good calculation. Your people have already gone in to explore this ancient tomb, and naturally they know more about what is going on inside than we do, and you have an advantage in this regard. Besides, only one person can get this thing, and the Ash Island operation is just for good performance, which is a sure thing. So you're not fair, are you?"

Zhang Jiuzhang smiled and didn't speak, and looked at An Qianshan again, as if waiting for him to make a decision.

Bai Nan looked at the master, only to see that he frowned deeply, as if he couldn't make up his mind. After a long time, I heard him say: "Okay, it's decided, when will you leave?"

"Head An, be happy!" Zhang Jiuzhang said: "Just today, don't delay the matter of Ash Island, these two places are reserved for these two disciples." ”

"Okay, Third Elder, you and I will go with you. Great Elder, the affairs of the door will be handled by you in the next few days. Bai Nan, Han Ruojun. ”

Bai Nan and Han Ruojun were shocked, and replied at the same time: "The disciple is here." ”

"This trip to the ancient tomb, you two go together. ”

"Yes. ”

Bai Nan's face was calm, in fact, his heart was happy, just when he heard how amazing these two ritual arrays were, he thought about going in, but he didn't expect that it would really be his turn.

I have been in this world for more than three years, and I have seen a lot of strange things. I've always heard others say how amazing the formation is, but the few formations he has seen so far can't see the effect, and he can't appreciate its subtlety at all.

Now that there was an opportunity to see the Phantom Array, of course he gladly accepted it.

......

A group of people, in action, unequivocally, left the parlor and left.

This time, the people of the Jiuhua faction came quietly. The matter of this ancient tomb has not spread, and it is still in a state of secrecy, so it is unknown to anyone about its comings and goings, which is also to prevent the news from being exposed. After all, the attraction of the phantom array is still very large, and if it is known by the first-class forces, then they will have no share.

The white horse where the ancient tomb is located, more than 400 miles away from Qingyun Gate, a group of people with the blessing of spiritual power, keep hurrying, compared to riding horses, it is much faster, in the evening, it is at the foot of White Horse Mountain.

Under the sunset, the white horse in front of him could vaguely see the shape. The north is high and the south is low, and the shape looks like a horse's head, so it is no wonder that it is called White Horse Mountain.

An abandoned mountain villa at the foot of the mountain, another elder of the Jiuhua Sect, and a dozen disciples were already waiting there.

Bai Nan checked them one by one with the system and found that one of the male disciples actually had a subtle level of cultivation. I couldn't help but wonder how many disciples of this Jiuhua Sect were.

"It's getting late today, so it's too late to rest in this villa, and we'll go back into the mountain tomorrow. Zhang Jiuzhang said.

Of course, the four people of Qingyunmen have no opinions, after a day's journey, several people also feel a little tired, at this time into the mountain, and they are not familiar with the internal situation, it is very dangerous.

After eating some dry food, Bai Nan and the others fell asleep.

After some time, he woke up from his sleep and heard the slight sound of the door opening. The buildings of this cottage are in disrepair, and there is always a creak at the shaft of the door.

Just as Bai Nanxiang opened his mouth to ask who it was, the sound of the door suddenly stopped, and then he heard a sound of breaking the air.

One rolls over and dodges the blow. Bai Nan stood up, only to see that the person who came in turned out to be a masked man dressed in black, and only one pair of eyes were exposed. Then the moonlight came in through the window, and I could see that the eyes were glowing a pale blue.

When this man saw that the blow was missed, his body quickly retreated, and he wanted to get out.

How could Bai Nan let him leave so easily, stretching a thousand shadows under his feet, his body disappeared in place like a ghost, chasing after the man in black.

Bang!

The man in black smashed through the window and fled.

Since Bai Nan's room was the most on the edge, he had already fled outside the villa after knocking open this window.

"There are assassins!"

Bai Nan saw that the man in black was about to flee, so he shouted loudly. This voice woke up the entire mountain villa, and the four figures shot into the air first, rushing towards this side through the roof. These four people are the four elder-level figures.

The man in black saw that the situation was not good, and stopped fleeing. Just when Bai Nan was happy, he saw that the man in black was crumbling and collapsed on the ground. He ran to his side and saw that the man in black was dead.
