In the dark night, the lights in the dark castle are even more lonely. In the deathly silence, a burly figure strode in, but the hurried footsteps did not sound at all.

The burly man stopped at the door of the study, bowed down and said, "Second Elder, urgent news." ”

When the burly man's words fell, Qingyue's voice sounded, "Come in." As the burly man walked into the study, the dim light reflected two faces.

The burly man has a standard Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose and thick lips, but his expression is cold, a pair of big eyes shoot a sharp light, and he looks like a general of a hundred battles with a long knife in his hand. The man in the study looked fifty or sixty years old, handsome and had an indifferent smile on his face, but a scar on his left cheek went deep into the temples, and it felt like a piece of beautiful jade with a crack, which was a pity.

Cao Yuezhong, who was also a famous merry son of the Holy Sect when he was young, was seriously injured when he was besieged when he helped Mo Wusheng fight for the throne of the sect leader, and Jun left a scar on his face that would never heal, but in the past twenty years, he has become the second elder of the Holy Sect, and his status is only under the sect leader Mo Wusheng and the great elder Zhang Shaoyang, but Zhang Shaoyang has long been out of the world, and now Mo Wusheng is in retreat to impact the Grandmaster realm, and has a supreme position in the Holy Sect.

Seeing the burly man bow and salute, Cao Yuezhong said lightly: "What's the matter, you still want to send the arrows in person?" ”

named Chang Jian, because his father was a general of the Zhao Dynasty, and Chang Jian became a sharpshooter when he was young, but before he could go into battle to kill the enemy, his father was defeated and died on the battlefield, and the emperor blamed him for beheading his orphans and widows, and finally was rescued by Cao Yuezhong's father into the Holy Sect, and became Cao Yuezhong's left and right arms.

Chang Jian immediately replied: "Second Elder Qiyu, the Seventh Prince rushed to Danzhou three days ago, wiped out the Jia family in Danzhou, Jia Wenguang killed himself, all five sons were confiscated, and all the family property was confiscated, the reason was just a small soldier who died in Mobei, and the Jia family took away his family business. ”

Cao Yuezhong didn't speak immediately, he thought for a moment and suddenly laughed, "What do you think?" ”

Still did not hesitate, Chang Jian replied in a deep voice: "The Jia family occupies other people's family business, and the seventh prince will take away his family property, and escort his five sons to the border pass to fill the army. ”

Cao Yuezhong nodded approvingly, but opened his mouth to ask, "Chang Jian, how much do you know about the Seventh Prince?" ”

This time, Chang Jian didn't answer immediately, and after thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth and said: "Young and naughty, until the tragic change on the wedding day, entering Mobei is like a sword out of the sheath, and it has tended to be dull in the past three years, but after all, it is a peerless sword." ”

Nodding again, Cao Yuezhong chuckled and then opened his mouth and said, "What you said is not bad, but it is not enough." After a pause at this, Cao Yuezhong's expression calmed down, and he said slowly: "The first time the old man noticed Chu Haoyu was the tragic change on his wedding day, and until now, the old man has not been able to figure out why the shadow has repeatedly assassinated Chu Haoyu. The past 20 years can be regarded as smooth weather, the father and son of the Chu family are conscientious, the Great Chu has entered the prosperous era, and it is difficult for the shadow to return to the country, so the old man sometimes thinks that they assassinate Chu Haoyu because he is the most loved by the first emperor, and he wants to slap the Chu family in the face, but is it really that simple? ”

Cao Yuezhong's sentence was more asking himself, and he shook his head without waiting for Chang Jian to answer, and then said: "You know, the first emperor Chu Tianfeng was also attacked by the shadow and died, thinking that Chu Tianfeng's generation of grandmasters was still assassinated by the shadow, as long as the shadow spends more time and thought, there may not be no chance to assassinate the current saint, but why Chu Haoyu?" ”

Looking at Cao Yuezhong, who had a thoughtful look on his face, Chang Jian's heart suddenly moved, and he opened his mouth to ask, "Could it be that the shadow is attracting people's ears?" ”

After thinking for a while, Cao Yuezhong shook his head and said, "No, although the accumulation of hundreds of years of shadows is deep, it will eventually run out one day. In order to assassinate the first emperor, the shadow dispatched three masters of the Heavenly and Human Realm, and two innate masters, especially Jade Jizi, were only half a step away from entering the Grandmaster Realm. This time on Taihe Mountain, Wu Yuanzi made a move to assassinate Chu Haoyu, hmph, Zhijizi is also smart, and he has closed the mountain for ten years to protect himself, but," in the elongated voice, Cao Yuezhong's tone changed, and said: "What really shocked the old man was Chu Haoyu's martial arts cultivation. Wu Yuanzi is the only few celebrities left in the fruitful fruit of Wuji Guan, the nine sons of Wuji who were famous in the world back then, and now there are only two left, the real martial arts master, the depth of internal strength, and the perception of the way of heaven are not at all imaginable by ordinary people, but Chu Haoyu actually survived, and he can be called glorious despite defeat. ”

Hearing this, a light flashed in Chang Jian's eyes, and he opened his mouth and said: "The Seventh Prince broke through the realm of heaven and man at a young age, could it be that Wuqu Xing descended to earth?" ”

Looking at Chang Jian, Cao Yuezhong was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "How can you believe those unwarranted rumors?" However, the Seven Killing Stars are true. Knowing the tragic changes on the wedding day, the old man specially ordered Yuezong to collect the news of Chu Haoyu, and occasionally learned that when he broke through the innate realm, it was the fourth prince Chu Haoxu who was sent to guard filial piety for the first emperor after his defeat, and he thought that his breakthrough was related to this. Breaking through the realm of heaven and man is in Mobei, he has been assassinated several times and was seriously injured, however, the realm of heaven and man is all in one realization, and his body is injured but can be more clearly enlightened, and a fire burned hundreds of thousands of lives, and eventually became a master of the realm of heaven and man, worthy of the seven killing stars. ”

Although Cao Yuezhong failed to break through the realm of heaven and man, the Cao family is a big family of the Holy Sect, and his martial arts knowledge is extraordinary. Shaking his head, Cao Yuezhong continued to say just now: "In order to assassinate Chu Haoyu, the shadow did not hesitate to send Wu Yuanzi, as long as Chu Haoyu died on Taihe Mountain, even if he knew that there was a conspiracy, the Chu family would have to send troops, not to mention, if Chu Haoyu hadn't appeared at the last moment, I was afraid that Wujiguan would be bleeding, and the rivers and lakes would also be swords. ”

Chang Jian nodded very admiringly, many things in the rivers and lakes don't need a reason, but Chang Jian is also a little puzzled, what does this have to do with Chu Haoyu's destruction of the Jia family?

At this moment, Cao Yuezhong continued: "No matter what the reason, the Seventh Prince can become a master of the Heavenly and Human Realm in the year of the weak crown, so it is the capital of the heavens, and it has a lot to do with the mind and experience. When he was young, he was naughty and playful, but the tragic changes on the wedding day made him show his peerless edge, and in the three years he walked in the fields after returning from Mobei, he had already taken away his edge and learned to hide it, so he would never act impulsively. ”

When Cao Yuezhong's words fell, Chang Jian opened his mouth and said, "What if you kill a chicken to show the monkey?" Destroy the Jia family and let the world know that veterans cannot be humiliated. ”

After thinking for a moment, Cao Yuezhong nodded and said: "There is indeed this possibility, but Chu Haoyu is known as a butcher, and it can be seen that he is only fierce to the enemy, but he loves his own people very much." The Jia family's reputation in Danzhou is very good, and Jia Wenguang's prestige is unmatched in Danzhou, with Chu Haoyu's heart, conniving and punishing will not harm Cao Wenguang, let alone forcing him to death. It's really weird. ”

At the end of the sentence, Cao Yuezhong fell into deep thought again, only to quickly put the question aside and open his mouth to ask, "Where is he now?" ”

Suddenly, the thoughtful look in Chang Jian's eyes still dissipated, and he replied in a deep voice: "I have crossed the Heishui River yesterday, and the day after tomorrow at the latest, I will be able to rush to Bukong Town, and I will be accompanied by Zhu Zhuangyuan of Weimen." ”

Bukong Town, which is the only way to go to the Valley of Seven Feelings, is also the last town.

After a moment of silence, Cao Yuezhong opened his mouth and asked, "What is the reaction of the Zhang family?" After a pause at this, Cao Yuezhong showed a smile on his face and said: "Back then, Zhang Zi'an and Chu Haoyu had an unhappy relationship, and Chu Haoyu had a good relationship with Bai Mosheng, Ye Li, and Lianyu. ”

When the last generation competed for the throne of the sect leader, Zhang Zhendong of the Zhang family was Mo Wangsheng's biggest opponent, although he had no choice but to surrender, he and Cao Yuezhong had never looked at each other, and now, the descendants of the two have the heart to compete for the throne of the sect leader, and the battle between the two families has also turned dark to light, assassination, coercion and temptation, it can be said that it is all about it.

Chang Jian opened his mouth and replied, "There is no movement yet." Speaking of this, Chang Jian looked at Cao Yuezhong and said: "This time, the Seventh Prince did not deliberately hide his whereabouts, anyone with a discerning eye can see that his purpose is my Holy Sect, and even came for the sake of mercy, but the Zhang family has no movement at all, this is not like Zhang Zi'an's personality at all." ”

Now the three people of the second generation of disciples of the Holy Sect are the most powerful to compete for the throne of the sect leader, Zhang Zi'an is arrogant and domineering by nature, Bai Mosheng is gentle and casual but arrogant, and Cao Yingxuan of the Cao family is calm and extremely low-key.

Cao Yuezhong understood what Chang Jian meant, but he couldn't help but smile and said: "Chu Haoyu is also the Prince of Great Chu, and he was injured in Taihe Mountain just now, if there is another accident, I am afraid that my Holy Sect ......" At this point, Cao Yuezhong couldn't say it anymore, the smile on his face gradually dissipated, and he looked pensive.

After being silent for a long time, Cao Yuezhong shook his head with a light sigh and said, "This time, I'm afraid I'm going to join forces with Zhang Heizi." ”

Zhang Zhendong's face was a little dark, and he was called Zhang Heizi by Cao Yuezhong and several people. Seeing the doubts in Chang Jian's eyes, Cao Yuezhong explained: "Back then, Sect Master Zhang supported the Xie family and personally accepted Xie Cheng as an apprentice, just to become a generation of emperors, how could he allow the Zhao family to spy in the sect? With the attitude of preferring to kill mistakes and not letting go, a bloodbath was launched in the sect, and even many elders and families who did not support the Xie family were cleaned up by Sect Leader Zhang. Therefore, among the four major sects, I teach the Zhao family with the least secret agents, but Wu Yuanzi and Yu Jizi are still Zhao family spies, who dares to say that there are no people in the shadows in my sect? I can't say that it's still a famous predecessor. Now that Chu Haoyu is injured, if there is an accident in the Valley of Seven Feelings, who can afford it, now, it is better to send the great god of the Seven Princes away first. ”

In this regard, Chang Jian didn't agree very much, and opened his mouth to ask: "What if the Zhang family makes a move?" The Seventh Prince was injured in our sect, and the first to bear the brunt was definitely Sect Master Mo, then Elder Liu and us, and finally the Zhang family. ”

Cao Yuezhong was able to become the second elder, not only because the Cao family helped Mo Wangsheng back then, but also because of his extraordinary wisdom, how could he not think about this question, he immediately shook his head and said: "My Holy Sect Leader, since ancient times, I have been robbed by cannibalism, which is also the reason for the Mo Sect Master's retreat, and now that the Zhang family is powerful, Zhang Heizi will not take this risk, but he can't be unguarded." The order went down, as long as there was any change in the Zhang family, it would be reported immediately, at any cost. In addition, during this period of time in the Valley of Seven Feelings, the Seven Princes suspended the fight with the Zhang family and Bai Mosheng, and whoever dared to cause trouble would be severely punished. ”
