Chapter 554: Say it slowly
"Hundred Flower Palace?"
The other people in the chamber couldn't help but snort softly, with a look of surprise on their faces, and even the old woman in the center frowned.
"Not bad!" Liu Zhong said with a solemn face: "The Hundred Flowers Palace has been entrenched in the Yangtze River basin for hundreds of years, and its power is not inferior to our sect, and there is no evil between the Hundred Flowers Palace and Happy Spirit, and the special envoy Poppy has saved Happy Life's life, and it is very possible to unite with Happy Happy." ”
After a pause, Liu Zhong continued: "Everyone, it's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow. If we let Baihuagong take the lead, I am afraid that the benefits that I can get from cooperating with Happy in the end will be greatly reduced. Moreover, with the support of Baihua Palace, the chances of us winning with happiness are really slim. ”
"Second Elder, even if I am glad that I may have the help of the Hundred Flowers Palace, why should I be afraid of him in the Moon Worship Sect? Don't forget, the Hundred Flowers Palace can be said to be a dominant family in the Yangtze River, but here it is the Qi country, and they can't be allowed to run rampant! ”
The Seventh Elder raised his eyebrows, and he was very proud of his words, obviously not taking the Hundred Flowers Palace in his eyes. It is true that the Hundred Flowers Palace is one of the four sects of the Demon Gate, and the "Peony Sutra" is even more miraculous, but the disciples in the palace are all women, which also restricts their development. Besides, Northern Qi was originally the sphere of influence of the Lunatic Cult, and even if the Hundred Flowers Palace intervened, it would not be able to exert much power.
Before Liu Zhong could speak, the Seventh Elder spoke again, but his tone was a little yin and yang, and the corners of his mouth sneered: "Second Elder, you are strongly opposing our eradication of happiness, isn't it to achieve some ulterior secret?" Or are you trying to shirk responsibility for the loss of the Red Sky Sword? ”
"Qiu Hong!"
Qiu Hong's words can be described as extremely devastating, Liu Zhong suddenly roared like an angry lion, stood up suddenly, looked at the Seventh Elder Qiu Hong with a gloomy face, and reprimanded: "You are so bold, you dare to slander the old man, do you think that with Zhang Chong's old man to support him, he can't clean you up?!" ”
Before the words fell, Liu Zhong took a step forward suddenly, and an unrivaled momentum overwhelmingly pressed towards Qiu Hong.
Qiu Hong was caught off guard, suddenly snorted, his body shook violently, and he fell backwards suddenly, fortunately, he was also quite extraordinary, reacted very quickly, and finally stood up quickly when the chair was about to fall to the ground, but the chair under him couldn't withstand the huge pressure, and it turned into fragments and scattered on the ground with a "click".
"Old horseman, Ann dares to bully me like this!"
Qiu Hong's roar suddenly sounded in the council room, and at this time, his face was full of anger, his beard was all open, and his whole body was full of murderous energy, even if he was in a wide robe, there was no wind.
Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated. Although Fang Cai Qiu Hong was not hurt in any way, he was so embarrassed in front of everyone, and his face was gone, how could he not be annoyed, how not to be angry? Even though Liu Zhong was a high-ranking Taishang Second Elder, Qiu Hong, who was furious at this time, did not kill or fear.
"There is no distinction between respect and inferiority, and if you commit a crime, you will find death!" Liu Zhong sneered, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and the momentum on his body was even worse.
Zhang Song's wanton assassination of Gao Changgong caused the relationship between the Lunatic Worship Sect and Gao Xing to fall to a freezing point again, causing his Liu Zhong's hard work for months to be wasted, and even depriving him of the Chixiao Sword. Liu Zhong was already resentful in his heart, but this Qiu Hong was bold, repeatedly speaking out against himself, and now he was ridiculed like this, if he didn't teach him a good lesson, I am afraid that the majesty in the sect in the future will plummet, and Zhang Chong and others will be even more rampant.
Although Qiu Hong's power is already super-first-class, he can at most end a tie in a head-to-head competition with Xiao Ling, how can he defeat Liu Zhong. Facing Liu Zhong, who was awe-inspiring with murderous intent, Qiu Hong's momentum suddenly became discouraged, coupled with the original awe in his heart, his face became unnatural, his breathing became heavier and heavier, and cold sweat was dripping on his forehead.
"Liu Zhong, what are you doing? Don't forget what kind of place this is, even if you are the second elder of the Taishang, the elders will have to rest at will! Seeing that Liu Zhong seemed to be a killer, how could Zhang Chong sit still, and in the midst of the loud shouts, his fat body stopped in front of Liu Zhong.
"Zhang Chong, you'd better get out of the way, you old thing!" Liu Zhong looked at Zhang Chong calmly, and said in a cold tone: "You took revenge for Zhang Mingkang's despicable gentleman, and you did not hesitate to take advantage of the interests of tens of millions of people in the whole sect, how vicious are your intentions?" Now that you're spewing blood, slandering the old man, do you really regard the Lunatic Cult as your family's thing, and you can be allowed to act recklessly? ”
Qiu Hong and Zhang Chong were heart-wrenching, but Liu Zhong was not to be outdone, and one sentence almost pushed Zhang Chong to the opposite side of everyone.
The Lunatic Cult has gone through hundreds of years of vicissitudes of life, and it does not belong to a certain person or family, but in the past hundred years, the power of the Zhang family has become stronger and stronger, and it has the implication of dominating the scene. Not to mention that two of the elders are children of the surname Zhang, including Zhang Rong, the three consecutive sect leaders are all members of the Zhang family. The expansion of the Zhang family's power naturally made others jealous, especially in recent years, the Zhang family's behavior has become more and more perverse, which also makes others resentful.
"Liu Zhong, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm just reminding you not to mess around! Zhang Chong was suddenly taken aback and hurriedly defended. If you are really labeled as "private and unfair, vainly trying to dominate the Lunatic Cult", it will inevitably attract the hostility of others, which is not a joke.
After a pause, Zhang Chong looked at the old woman in the center and said sincerely: "Great Elder Mingjian, I advocate eradicating happiness is also based on the interests of my sect. Since Elder Liu doubted my intentions, then I would stop talking. No matter what decision the Great Elder makes, I will resolutely implement it, even if I cooperate with Happy Happy, I will also restrain my family and let go of all grievances with Happy Happy. ”
The old woman glanced at Zhang Chong and Liu Zhong lightly, the two of them trembled, and suddenly had a feeling of being stripped naked, and the momentum on their bodies seemed to be suddenly dispelled by an invisible big hand, and there was nothing left, and the tense and depressing atmosphere in the council room returned to calm again.
At this moment, the old woman's tepid voice sounded: "After fighting for decades, do you really want to fight until the day you die?" ”
"The Great Elder is angry!" A trace of awe flashed in Liu Zhong and Zhang Chong's eyes, and they hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Don't look at Liu Zhong and Zhang Chong's status is second only to the old woman, but in terms of skill and qualifications, they are much inferior to the old woman. Liu Zhong and Zhang Chong's martial arts are rare in the world, but they have no chance of winning in front of the old woman, and they don't know what level the old woman's martial arts have reached. It was Zhang Chong who was not afraid of Liu Zhong, but he didn't dare to make a mistake in the face of the old woman.
"You have a point." The old woman's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said slowly: "Now that the situation in Qi is turbulent and the situation is changing, we should not interfere, whether it is war or peace with Xingxing, let's talk about it slowly!" ”
"Yes!" The other seven people stood up and replied in unison.
The old woman glanced at everyone, waved her hand slightly, and her withered body suddenly floated up from her chair and floated towards the outside of the council room. Her speed seemed slow, but it was only a blink of an eye before it vanished. From beginning to end, the old woman did not show the slightest momentum, and her feet did not touch the ground.
Seeing the old woman leaving, Zhang Chong straightened up, glared at Liu Zhong angrily, the sharp glint in his eyes flashed, and he strode away with a flick of his robe sleeves.
Liu Zhong's eyes flashed a few times, and his brows were tightly locked, but he didn't say anything until Zhang Chong's back disappeared out of sight.
The people in the council hall left one after another, and soon only Liu Zhong and an old man of medium stature remained. This person looks similar to Qiu Hong's age, with square eyebrows and eyes, not angry and arrogant, and he is the last in the seat, which is the eighth Taishang Chang.
"Second Elder." The Eighth Elder came to Liu Zhong's side and called softly.
"Old eight, Zhang Song failed to assassinate Gao Changgong and returned with serious injuries, I guess he won't give up, you just work hard, you must pay careful attention to his movements." Liu Zhong nodded in greeting, looked at the gradually brightening night sky with deep eyes, and said in a deep voice.
"Second Elder rest assured."
……
Leaving the council room, Zhang Chong hurried all the way back to the courtyard where he lived, and after ordering his cronies to guard the door, he walked into the secret room under the study. As soon as he closed the heavy stone door, the suppressed anger in Liu Zhong's heart could no longer be held back, and a fat face was completely distorted, and the murderous intent in his eyes was raging.
"Okay, you old thing, wisps are against me, you really damn it!" Roaring angrily, Zhang Chong slapped his palm on the stone table beside him, only to hear the sound of "touch", and the stone table, which was more than two inches thick, suddenly turned into powder in a loud noise.
"Elder Zhang, I don't know what makes you so angry?"
At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly sounded in the stone room, and then a woman dressed in black appeared in the smoke and dust. Although this person has an ordinary appearance, his complexion is snow-white, and he is dressed in a black suit, which will undoubtedly show off his hot posture. Only the left sleeve was empty, obviously missing his left arm, and his inner lining could be seen from the collar as a fiery red.
"Humph!" Zhang Chong snorted lightly, looked at the woman in black coldly and said, "This has nothing to do with you. ”
The woman in black touched a soft nail, but he didn't feel embarrassed, but said with a smile: "Elder Zhang's martial arts are world-famous, few people in the world can match, and he is even more famous in the Lunatic Worship Sect, and the only one who can make you angry is probably the second elder Liu Zhong!" ”
"What, you want to see the old man's jokes?" Zhang Chong's eyes froze, and he said coldly.
"How dare a little girl?" The woman in black pretended to be afraid, but there was no fear in her eyes, "Elder Zhang, the little woman came with sincerity this time, it's too late for you to slap in, but I don't know what Elder Zhang is thinking about?" ”
Zhang Chong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the woman in black for a long time, and then said in a deep voice: "Chasing the wind, cooperation is not impossible, but you have to show sincerity!" ”
"I don't know what Elder Zhang wants?" The expression on the face of the woman in black suddenly became serious.
"A man's life." Zhang Chong's voice became colder and colder, and the murderous intent in his heart was even more undisguised.
"Who?"
"Son of Gao Changgong, happy!"
