Chapter 368: A Fateful Calamity

When Lu Chen left, Princess Long Xi looked at the direction where he disappeared, her expression was quite complicated, sometimes frowning, sometimes shaking her head, wanting to speak, and then terminating, Aunt Hong came and stood next to her for a while, and then asked, "Your Highness, have you waited here for many days just to tell him this?"

Princess Long Xi didn't respond, and Aunt Hong continued to ask, "Jiutian is going to destroy Yantian Sect this time, why do you have to say so much to him?"

"Hehe......" Princess Long Xi smiled inexplicably, shook her head slightly, and said, "Jiutian is not trying to destroy Yantian Sect, but just wants the things that Yantian Sect is guarding, if Yantian Sect hands it over, it will be fine, but in this holy domain, those big sects want to completely get rid of Yantian Sect." ”

"In this way, even if the Yantian Sect hands over that thing, it will be a dead end?"

"Yes, if you hand over the things, Jiutian might be able to spare the life of the Yantian Sect, but those great sects will not. ”

"But what does this have to do with Lu Chen?"

"He?" Princess Long Xi closed her eyes, as if recalling Lu Chen just now, her eyebrows frowned deeper, and she said quietly, "I have a special feeling for him, but I don't want him to wade into this troubled water......"

"This guy looks lazy and lazy, he shouldn't be involved in this kind of thing, right? What's more, he has only joined Yantian Sect not long ago, and he has no feelings for Yantian Sect at all. ”

"I hope so. ”

...... In the void, Lu Chen was flying at extreme speed, desperately rushing towards Yantian Sect, at this moment, his mind was full of what Princess Long Xi said, if what she said was true, then Yantian Sect might suffer a catastrophe.

Lu Chen didn't care much about things in this world, and Yantian Sect carried too many worries about him.

Yantian Sect, Yantian Town.

There doesn't seem to be any special change here, it's still a quaint and calm town, the only difference is that it looks more deserted than before, and even the shadow of the sect monk has not been seen, in front of the gate of Yantian Town, the second tiger is still guarding, when he saw Lu Chen, the second tiger suddenly stood up from the ground, and shouted, "Hey, Brother Lu, why did you come back so soon?"

"It's a bit of a rush. Lu Chen walked into the town and found that not only did there be no monk from the Yantian Sect, but even the villagers of the town seemed to be gone, and under questioning, Erhu said that the villagers of the town had been discussing with the mayor recently.

"Has anything happened in the past two days?"

"No!" Erhu scratched his head, not knowing what Lu Chen meant.

"Didn't the senior brother in the sect come back?"

"Oh, you ask this, Brother Lu, have you forgotten the ten-year ban issued by the sect master?"

"What does a ten-year ban mean?"

"Ah, don't you know? This change of nature, like the rebirth of all things, is the best time to experience, the sect master ordered the disciples in the sect not to return for ten years, and not to fight with others for ten years, ten years ......."

After listening to Erhu's words, Lu Chen immediately guessed that the sect master already knew that the Zhugu plan was aimed at Yantian Sect, so he sent all the disciples in the sect to various parts of the world to avoid them being implicated, when he asked about the villagers in the town, Erhu said that he was called by the town mayor to discuss the matter, whether it was the ten-year ban issued by the sect master, or the villagers of Yantian Town, everything made Lu Chen feel that Princess Longxi's words were true.

"What about Old Grandpa Mo?" Lu Chen knew that the existence of Yantian Town had always guarded Yantian Sect, and Old Grandpa Mo was definitely a key person.

"Grandpa Mo has gone to sleep a long time ago, you know. ”

The old grandfather would sleep for a long, long time, and no one knew where he slept, because he was concerned about the safety of the Yantian Sect, he didn't say much to the second tiger, and stepped directly into the Yantian Sect.

The Yantianzong Square was empty, and the solemn stone monument still stood there, not even the disciples guarding the door.

After entering the Yantian Sect, it is still the same, no one, Lu Chen sacrificed his divine sense to investigate, probing the entire Yantian Sect, there is a breath, but less than a hundred, at this moment, a glimmer of light flashed, as if it appeared out of thin air, and then a person appeared opposite Lu Chen, this person seemed to be in his forties, dressed in a gray robe, and a pair of eyes on his solemn face were deep and lonely.

"Master!" Lu Chen was stunned and blurted out.

The person who came was none other than Lu Chen's master, Li Xi.

Li Xi didn't say anything, just stared at Lu Chen, looking at it lightly, like looking at a piece of grass, with an expressionless face.

Lu Chen was about to speak, but Li Xi said at first, "Come with me." After that, he left directly, Lu Chen didn't know the reason, so he had to follow, and soon came to a manor in the back mountain of Zongnei, the manor was very simple, only a stone bench and a stone table, and an old man sat on the stone bench, and the old man was also wearing a simple robe, sitting there, looking at the chessboard on the stone table.

The stone table may be a chessboard or a chessboard, Lu Chen is not sure, because there are some mysterious runes carved on it, with his attainments in the field of runes, he can't even understand a rune, just glance at it, he will feel a headache.

"Sect Master!"

Whether it is the master next to him or the old sect master, he is the person Lu Chen cares about the most in his life, he has no parents since he was a child, and in his eyes, the master and the old sect master are relatives.

"Lu, Lu Chen, you're back. The old sect master turned around, and unlike Li Xi, the old sect master's kind eyebrows and kind eyes made people feel extremely kind, although those eyes were already a little cloudy.

"Sect Master, you...... Are you okay?" Lu Chen nodded, for some reason he felt that the old sect master had become erratic, like a flame in the void, as if it would be extinguished at any time.

"What's the matter, does I look bad?" the old sect master smiled slightly, and said, "It's not good to say, it's all because your kid came back so early and made me lose to Grandmaster Mo again." Shaking his head, the old sect showed a helpless smile, "I've been betting with the old man for nearly a thousand years, and I haven't won once...... What a pathetic!"

What the old sect master and the old grandfather were gambling on, Lu Chen didn't know, and he wasn't in the mood to know about it now, so he immediately asked, "Sect Master, you issued a ten-year ban to dismiss all disciples, is it because of the Nine Heavens Zhugu plan?"

Hearing Lu Chen say this, the old sect master was not a little surprised, but just glanced at Li Xi, and then his eyes fell on the chessboard on the stone table, nodded, and answered yes.

And so it was!

Although Lu Chen had already guessed the result, when he saw the old sect master admit it, his heart was still turbulent.

"Why? Why does the Nine Heavens have to eradicate our Yantian Sect? Is it really because of the dispute between the Divine Supreme and the Bright Supreme?"

"Do you know the battle between the Divine Supreme and the Bright Supreme?" the old sect master seemed to be a little surprised, and Lu Chen would know this.

"I know, after I came out of the Remnant Sun Valley, Princess Longxi came to me, and she told me. Lu Chen roughly explained what he learned from Princess Long Xi.

"Princess Longxi, that little girl really has a heart. After the old sect master laughed, his expression gradually became serious, "What the little girl told you is indeed the truth, the Zhugu plan is indeed caused by the dispute between the sacred and the light, and the reason why my sect was included in the Zhugu plan is not just a simple supporter of the Light Supreme." ”

Lu Chen didn't say anything, just listened carefully to every word the old sect master said.

"Lu Chen, do you know what is bright and what is sacred?"

What is Light?

What is Divine?

If Lu Chen had thought that these two were the most powerful breath between heaven and earth, in other words, the most powerful force between heaven and earth, it was only after accepting the inheritance of great evil that he found that the so-called breath was not a force, but a belief, a spirit, and a will, and was about to say it, but the old sect master said, "The so-called light, sacredness, or even the evil that has disappeared, the world only knows that the three are the most powerful in heaven and earth, but they don't know that light, evil, and sacredness are just a belief, a spirit, and a belief." ”

"When the light was defeated, its faith and spirit turned into nine fragments, four of which were snatched away by the sacred, fortunately, there are still four kept by the Gu immortals above the nine heavens, and the last one is kept by our Yantian Sect, originally all this is a secret, and the Gu immortals have been guarding the secret, the purpose is to prevent the sacred, now I think about it, I was finally discovered by the sacred, but when I found out that this world was sealed, it was too late. ”

"So, what the so-called Zhugu Project really wants is that spiritual fragment left by the light?"

Seeing the old sect master nodding, Lu Chen asked the doubts in his heart again, "If those saints above the Nine Heavens have already known that our Yantian Sect has a spiritual fragment in their custody, and with the ability of the Nine Heavens, they can completely grab it, why do they have to implement any plan to punish the ancients?"

"This heaven and earth, with the saint as the emperor and the immortal as the respect, the same is true in the nine heavens, above the nine heavens, there is also a dispute between the saint and the immortal, and the divine does not dare to act openly because of the existence of the ancient immortals. ”

Lu Chen suddenly realized that although he had never stepped into the Nine Heavens, along the way, he had also killed many immortals who had tried to erase him, and he also knew something about the Nine Heavens, knowing that above the Nine Heavens, the Divine and the Immortals had also been fighting, otherwise this world would have been occupied by the Divine for a long time, and there would be no respect for immortals.

"The reason why the Divine sealed this world was because he didn't want Gu Immortals to help. ”

"I heard Princess Long Xi say that the Zhugu plan will not be implemented until the opening of the Mixed Yuan Saint Realm, is there any connection between the two?"

"Because the fragment of light that our Yantian Sect keeps is located in the Mixed Yuan. The old sect master said unhurriedly, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing, "The Mixed Yuan Saint Realm opens once every nine eight hundred and eleven years, and our Yantian Sect controls the key to the Mixed Yuan. ”

"So, as long as we don't open it, they'll never get the shards of light. Lu Chen's mind was running rapidly, thinking about many strategies, but the old sect master's next sentence shattered the more than a hundred strategies he had thought of in an instant.

"Every eight hundred years, our Yantian Sect must open the Mixed Yuan, otherwise the spiritual fragments hidden in it will collapse and disappear, this is the duty of our Yantian Sect, the responsibility that has been passed down since ancient times, and this is also the reason why those great sects must wait until the Mixed Yuan Holy Realm is opened before they do it. ”

What the light fragment is, Lu Chen doesn't know, and he doesn't bother to know, whether it's hidden in the mixed yuan or somewhere else, he doesn't care at all, the only thing he cares about is the life and death of Yantian Sect, in other words, he just wants to know, who the enemy is, that's all.

"Once the Mixed Yuan Holy Realm is opened and the Zhugu plan is implemented, our Yantian Sect will no longer have any value to them, they will completely eradicate the Yantian Sect, they ...... Who are they?"

"The Holy Palace, the Holy Hall, the Holy Temple, the Holy Division, the Holy Tower, the Yanyang Sect, the Taixu Sect, the Haotian Sect, the Northern Spirit Sect, the Ziyin Sect, the Taiyin Sect, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, the Soul Sect, the Xiling Alliance, the Eastern Regions Alliance, the Beiling Alliance, the Southern Regions Alliance. ”

I heard Princess Long Xi say that there are many people who participated in the Zhugu plan this time, as for how many, Lu Chen has no idea, and now when he hears the old sect master say this, he can't help but be slightly surprised, this is really a little terrifying, with his identity as an immortal, he is naturally not afraid of ordinary monks, but there are some old guys hidden in every major sect, these old guys are monsters who don't know how many years of cultivation, not to mention that there are many hidden in each major sect like Su Mu, Guan Yin and Princess Longxi are reincarnated powers, in addition to this, he also knows that there are many immortals lurking here in this world in the name of guardianship.

For Yantian Sect, this was obviously an impossible war to win.

Lu Chen calculated, there were still four months and nine days before the opening of the Mixed Yuan Holy Realm, he closed his eyes, stood up, and respectfully kowtowed to the old sect master and master without saying a word, and left directly.

Looking at the direction of Lu Chen's departure, Li Xi, who had been silent on the side, showed a trace of unbearability on his cold and serious face, and said, "Senior brother, don't you think these are too cruel for a child?"

The old sect master did not respond.

Li Xi continued, "I know, this child is the person you have been waiting for, I know, all this is predestined, but why do you have to let a child bear this?"

"This is the fate of our Yantian Sect, and it is also his fate. The old sect master finally spoke, and his voice was still unhurried.

"Fate?" Li Xi sneered, "You know I never believed in fate. ”

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, the important thing is that fate has been like this, whether it is you, me, or him, it is all predestined, and the cause planted will be repaid after all. ”

As Li Xi said, he never believed in fate, but he couldn't refute the old sect master's words.

The two were silent for a long time, and when Li Xi turned to leave, he said, "What is the origin of him and our Yantian Sect, and when was the cause planted in our Yantian Sect?" Although Li Xi was asking, he didn't stop under his feet, and disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if he didn't want to know this answer, or didn't want to accept it.

The old sect master looked at the chessboard on the stone table, and then looked up at the void, and then his cloudy eyes looked in the direction where Lu Chen disappeared, and whispered to himself, "This is the catastrophe of Yantian Sect, and it is also the catastrophe of your child, you should be the catastrophe of Yantian Sect, and you should also be your own catastrophe, child, you should not come back, let alone feel guilty about Yantian Sect......
