XIII. Indifferent Reinforcements (II)
I don't know if it was because of the stern voice of the executor, or his merciless gaze, or because they were shocked by the serious meaning of his words, several people were stunned for a moment and did not answer immediately.
Indeed, as soon as the Five Elements Sword was born, the death array that protected the seal was broken, but there was no breath of Yin and Yang Eyes, which proved that the Yin and Yang Eyes were missing again. What's worse is that Zhongkun is full of monsters right now, and no one dares to guarantee that it won't be lucky enough to be taken by any monster. Originally, it was surprising enough that the demon world suddenly reappeared, if the yin and yang eyes were still taken away by a monster, wouldn't it mean that the thousand-year-old prophecy was being fulfilled little by little?
In this case, if the Five Elements Sword, which is the same as the Yin and Yang Eye, the first secret treasure, can be held in the hands of the Dao Law Realm, its advantages will naturally go without saying.
But if you go to the Dharma Hall immediately, Zhang Long's potential will not last until that time, but according to the meaning of the executor's words, it is obvious that the Dharma Hall does not have a way to take out the Five Elements Sword immediately, and then the Dharma Hall will most likely choose to watch Zhang Longqian be destroyed by the Five Elements Sword, and then control the Five Elements Sword that has reunited its form.
Because for the Dharma Palace, for the Dao Law Realm, and even for the Human Realm, the Five Elements Sword is far more important than a "scattered cultivation" that no one knows and doesn't even know a few spells.
It's a cold and cruel choice, but it makes sense.
“…… But she's our friend! ”
Clenched his fists, Bai Lu's gaze was extremely resolute.
"You don't want to take her away from us!"
Although they didn't say it out loud like Bai Lu, Zhou Miao and Nangong Piao stood silently with Bai Lu between the executor and Zhang Longqian, looking at the executor firmly.
Glancing at the three of them, he saw that there was no wavering in their eyes, and the executor had no intention of persuasion, so he nodded directly and said, "Since this is the case, I am offended." ”
As he spoke, he flipped his palm, and a terrifying aura slowly seeped out of his hand, making the three of them feel their hearts sink, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on their bodies.
Obviously, this was not the level that Bai Lu and other students who were not mages could handle.
But even though she felt afraid, Bai Lu still cast a stubborn gaze at the executor.
There was no reaction to Bai Lu's gaze, the executor just looked at them lightly, his eyes were serious and indifferent, not at all like scaring the three of them, he slowly raised his hand, the power in his hand became more and more condensed and obvious, and even slowly lit up, and then, his wrist was tightly held by a hand, and a trace of burning heat suddenly invaded, scattering the power he gathered in his hand cleanly.
Turning his head and seeing Cang Yan's cold face, the executor frowned slightly.
"Jue Gongzi, ...... are you?"
"Did I say you could take her?"
The cold words carried an irrefutable decisiveness, and the executor's gaze couldn't help but jump slightly.
Because Cang Yan had never had any words before, coupled with Cang Yan's always acting style, the executor thought that he would never do that kind of "uncalm" thing, so he didn't confuse him with Bai Lu and Zhou Miao, but he didn't expect Cang Yan to take such a direct method to stop him.
A slight fear flashed under his indifferent eyes, but the executor's voice was still calm: "This is the rule, please don't embarrass me." ”
Cang Yan didn't answer, just replied with a cold gaze that could not be denied, while another voice sounded behind the executor.
"I should say that, right?"
Gently pointing at the back of the executor's shoulder, the gentle voice sounded a little dissatisfied, and the executor immediately frowned, not daring to move.
Because he could clearly feel that there was a piercing breath lingering on the fingertips on the back of his shoulder.
Calm and dangerous.
"Master Zuo, what do you mean by this?" Without looking back at Zuo Ling, the executor's voice was low, and he deliberately accentuated his tone in addressing Zuo Ling.
Knowing the intention of the executor to speak like this, Zuo Ling just smiled lightly, and his gentle face was very calm: "Don't call me so seriously, because I am not doing anything to insult the Zuo family." ”
The executor glanced at Cang Yan, who was still grabbing his wrist and controlling a trace of mana to invade his body, disrupting the mana he wanted to cast a spell and gather mana, and looked back at Zuo Ling behind him slightly, and said coldly: "Then how do you explain your actions?" ”
"Go to the Dispatch Department and check your schedule. I am in charge of the affairs of the Five Elements Sword, because of the client, I have been guarding this city for three years, and I will take her away, so it has nothing to do with you, right? Gently frowning, Zuo Ling's voice was unhurried and polite, but he did not hide his dissatisfaction with the executor's behavior.
Hearing that Zuo Ling had actually been in charge of the Five Elements Sword early in the morning, the executor couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise, and his indifferent expression shook violently
"How is that possible?! Even the 'Secret Treasure Book' doesn't record the whereabouts of the Five Elements Sword, so no one should know where it is, how can you come here early in the morning and guard it for three years?! ”
"It's just that you don't know, it doesn't mean that no one else in the world knows." Responding gently and politely, Zuo Ling's face showed a somewhat apologetic look, "Anyway, this is my task, so can I ask you not to interfere?" ”
The unexpected information made the executor waver, and he was silent for a short while, and when he spoke again, his expression returned to an indifferent calm: "...... It is true that no one can interfere in other people's tasks, but now the Five Elements Sword has entered the body of a person who is not in the Dao Law Realm......"
"This matter should also be handled by me, after all, she is my student."
Looking at Cangyan, who didn't speak but exuded danger all over his body, the executor flinched, but still didn't want to let go easily: "...... If I promised you, I would think about her life first and then take out the Five Elements Sword? ”
These words made the simple-minded Bai Lu and Nangong Piao a little moved, after all, they both knew very well that the strength of the executor was definitely the top among the mages in the Dao Law Realm, if he was willing to help, then the probability of Zhang Longqian being rescued should be much greater.
But Zuo Ling shook his head with a sigh: "I'm sorry, I don't believe you." ”
These words made Bai Lu a little anxious, and she was about to stop it, but Zhou Miao next to her pulled her clothes, and an indifferent and subtle voice came into her ears.
"Idiot, the executor is subordinate to the 'Garrison Division' of the Dharma Temple, and the first priority is to protect the peace of the Dao Dharma Realm and the Human Realm, not to save the dead and help the wounded. Even if he said that he would save the dragon first, if the two options of 'taking out the Five Elements Sword' and 'saving people' conflicted, do you think they would still keep their promise? ”
Hearing Zhou Miao's words, Bai Lu was stunned, and finally saw the reality clearly and quieted down, and the executor did not show dissatisfaction because of Zuo Ling's direct words, but was silent for a while, and then he nodded and said: "Well, since the Law Hall will pass the task of the Five Elements Sword, naturally it has already foreseen this, and there will definitely be your task entruster to communicate with the Law Hall in the future, so I won't say more." ”
Hearing the executor's words, Zuo Ling took back the hand that had been on his shoulder, and Cang Yan also let go of the executor's wrist. Looking at the executor who turned to look, Zuo Ling nodded gently: "More understanding, offended." ”
"Zuo Gongzi is serious." Turning his gaze to look at Cang Yan, the executor nodded to him again, "Absolute son, please forgive me for the offense." So, with the task in hand, I will take my leave. ”
With that, his body turned into a phantom, and swept away along the trajectory of the previous executors.
Seeing that the executor finally left, Zhou Miao and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and finally saved Zhang Longqian from the executor.
Zuo Ling walked to Zhang Longqian's side, leaned over and gently picked her up, and then looked at a few people: "Hurry up and go, go to me first, she can't wait long." ”
