Chapter 69 Breaking the Tower (I)
In the Cangsong Palace, Jin Tai sat on top of the first place, with a solemn expression, and there were dozens of people lined up on both sides in front of him, all of whom were backbone members of the Taishan faction. Just now, these people were still talking about breaking the Crazy Sword Desperate Tower, until they heard the news of the return of Zhao Zheng and the others, and they stopped talking.
Under the gaze of Jin Tai and others, Zhao Zheng and his party hurriedly walked into the hall, stood still halfway, and saluted Jin Tai respectfully in unison.
After the ceremony, Kim Tae immediately asked, "Did you have a smooth trip?" β
"Returning to the master, it was quite smooth, we followed the guidance of Elder Zhao, found Master Lu Wen in the Black Lotus Swamp, and asked for a way to break the tower, but there was a little accident when we came back." The person with the highest rank in Zhao Zheng and his party replied respectfully.
"What accident?" Hearing this, the head of Jintai's face changed slightly, his eyes scanned everyone, and he found that the number of people was one less, and he immediately noticed that something was wrong, and asked, "Could it be that something happened to Feng Ming?" β
"It's not that something happened to him, it's that he ......" the man wanted to speak and stopped, and finally gritted his teeth and said with hatred on his face, "It's that he betrayed his master and wanted to poison us halfway, if it weren't for Elder Zhao's eyes like a torch and bumped into this person's poisoning, I'm afraid that a few of us are no longer in the world now." β
"What? Feng Ming, he wants to kill you? ThisγHow is this possible. Hearing this, Kim Tae's face changed drastically again, revealing a look of disbelief.
Not only did the head of Jintai not believe it, but the others present also couldn't believe it, after all, Feng Ming was a native of the Taishan faction, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he grew up in the door. Moreover, Feng Ming has a high position of power, and has recently been promoted to become the acting hall master of the Mighty Hall. The future is bright. People like that. is completely different from Fang Xiaorou, an outsider. Feng Ming betrayed the Taishan faction. It's like a child betraying his parents.
Zhao Zheng and the others immediately explained the details, it is possible for one person to lie, but with so many people's mouths, the weight of what they say is very heavy. And among them, two of them have quite high seniority, even much higher than Feng Ming, but their strength and talent are not as good as Feng Ming.
After listening to this story, the people of Jintai accepted this infuriating reality. One by one, they scolded Feng Ming angrily, especially the head of Jintai, who was even more angry.
After venting his anger, some more realistic problems were put in front of everyone, Feng Ming's betrayal must have a reason, combined with the time when he poisoned everyone, it is likely that he received the benefits of the Three Swords Sect and became a member of the Three Swords Sect. In that case, things will be in trouble.
First, Feng Ming learned a lot of martial arts of the Taishan faction. Even the Canglong sword technique at the bottom of the box has been learned as many as three layers.
Secondly. Feng Ming knew a lot of inside information about the Taishan Sect, and after arriving at the Three Swords Sect, he would definitely leak it all to the Three Swords Sect.
In addition to these two problems, Fengming's betrayal may also lead to some more pressing problems. For example, after returning to the Three Swords Sect, he leaked the fact that Zhao Zheng and others had learned the method of breaking the tower, so that the Three Swords Sect took precautions in advance, and even did something in the tower. Or send a group of people to the Black Lotus Swamp and kill Lu Wen to vent his personal anger. This is all very likely to happen.
As the head of the house, Jin Tai had to think a lot about all possible problems. After much deliberation, he made a series of decisions in order to deal with the crisis.
First of all, the hall master of the mighty hall was handed over to Chang Yong again, and the deputy hall master was also looking for another candidate.
Secondly, Zhao Zheng and the others immediately went to the Three Swords Sect to break the tower, so as not to cause changes later.
Again, carefully search Feng Ming's former residence to see if he can find some clues and find out if Feng Ming is working for the Three Swords Sect.
At the last time, he immediately sent a group of people to the Black Lotus Swamp to invite Master Lu Wen to live temporarily in the Taishan Sect, so as not to be framed by the Three Swords Sect.
After making these decisions, Jin Tai divided his troops and sent generals, and then took Zhao Zheng and the others to the Three Swords Sect together.
β¦β¦
Three Swords Sect, a certain secret room.
This secret room is dedicated to the use of discussions, and there are no more cumbersome furnishings in the room except for the necessary tables, chairs and benches. There are lamps on the table, which illuminate the whole room as if it were daytime.
The current sect leader Zhuo Hongri sat on the chair, pressing the armrests with both hands, and his face was not very good-looking. Opposite him, there was a person standing with his head down, and it was Feng Ming, a great traitor who had just escaped from Zhao Zheng and others. There was no one else in the room except the wind roaring.
"Sect Master, his subordinates did not do well, they failed to poison those people to death, and they also exposed their identities, and asked the Sect Master to surrender." Feng Ming bowed to the end and said respectfully.
"You do your best for me, how can I blame you. However, it is indeed a pity that they failed to kill those people, and it leaves a great hidden danger for the destruction of the tower. That Lu Wen is really hateful, when he built the tower, he obviously received so much money from our Three Swords Sect, but now he has taught the method of breaking the tower to the Taishan faction. The more Zhuo Hongri spoke, the more angry he became, and patted the armrest hatefully, if it weren't for the sturdy chair, it would have to be shattered.
"Lu Wen is indeed extremely evil, he even betrayed the Three Swords Sect for the design of some ambushes, and he must not be spared for this."
"Well, I will send someone to take care of him, so that he knows what happened to betraying the Three Swords Sect." Zhuo Hongri's eyes showed a cold light, and he nodded slightly.
"Lu Wen is easy to do, but he is just an eightfold heavenly martial artist, and sending a good hand is enough to put him to death. The really hard thing to do is the people who have learned how to break the tower, and I'm only slightly faster than them, and when I get here, they'll definitely be there soon. In order to keep the Crazy Knife Desperate Tower, the sect master should have thought of a way earlier. Feng Ming suggested with a loyal stance.
Hearing this, Zhuo Hongri's face became even more gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "The mechanisms in the Crazy Knife Desperate Tower are all fixed and cannot be changed at all, and it is impossible to change the internal structure now." If you send a master to the tower to sit in the town, there will definitely be a big disturbance at that time, and you can't hide the eyes and ears of the Taishan faction, and you will inevitably leave a handle. For the sake of the present. I can only send people to intercept and kill that group of people halfway. Like you said, though. When you get here, they must be almost there, and the people who sent them out may not have time to do it. This can be said to be quite a bad thing. β
caused such an unfavorable situation, Feng Ming had direct responsibility, he didn't dare to say any more, and simply chose to remain silent.
Zhuo Hongri sulked for a while, and then waved his hand and said, "Okay, you have been on the road for so many days." I should be tired, so let's go down and rest if I have nothing to do. If you do things for me, I will definitely protect you and never let you fall into the hands of the Taishan faction. When everything is settled, I will arrange a good place for you to live a quiet life. β
"Sect Master, I don't want to leave the Three Swords Sect, even if the turmoil passes, I want to continue to stay here. I know I'm going to get into trouble for the Three Swords Sect by showing my head, but I can wear a human skin mask. It can also be added to the 'Hall of Shadows'. Feng Ming was very concerned about this aspect of the matter, and hurriedly said. The reason why he insisted on staying in the Three Swords Sect. Instead of going to those safer places, it's nothing more than to talk to the lustful swordsman. Shu Biya continued to hook up the chain. He had long been fascinated by the fairy-like woman, and he could no longer extricate himself.
As for the so-called Shadow Hall, it is actually a secret hall of the Three Swords Sect, and the people in this hall are responsible for assassination and eavesdropping activities, all of them are like shadows living in the shadows. From now on, Feng Ming will be a person who has not seen the light, and it is just right to join this hall.
What kind of person Zhuo Hongri is, how can he not guess Feng Ming's careful thoughts, but he has no intention of blowing Feng Ming, so he nodded and agreed to this matter. Although Feng Ming's value is greatly reduced now, he is still an eightfold heaven powerhouse, and he still has a lot of private goods hidden in his stomach, and staying is quite helpful to the Three Swords Sect.
After reporting everything, Feng Ming said goodbye and left, leaving the secret room located in the sect. The outer part of the chamber is connected to a dimly lit passageway, which contains several other chambers, as well as a number of rooms that can be used for lodging. He didn't dare to show his face in front of people, and now he had to condescend here.
There is a steward in this underground world who is in charge of the affairs here. Feng Ming found the steward, asked for a room, moved in, and asked the steward to help deliver a letter to the lustful swordsman. Shu Biya, let this woman come here to meet him. The steward smiled tacitly and took the order.
Feng Ming was lying on the bed in the room alone, his mind was full of charming thoughts, imagining the sultry appearance of Shu Biya stripped naked, the chest, the waist, and the legs, all of which made his heart ripple.
β¦β¦
Under the mad sword desperate tower, the three musketeers of Mount Tai and a cadre of Taishan are guarding here, a group of people sit cross-legged, looking like an old monk is in a settled place, in fact, everyone's attention is highly concentrated, paying attention to every move around. These days, the Taishan faction has always kept a part of the people to guard under the mad sword desperate tower of the Three Swords Sect, and sometimes the head of Jin Tai personally leads the crowd, and when he is not there, the heavy responsibility will be handed over to the Three Musketeers of Taishan. They stayed here, mainly to prevent Fang Xiaorou, who was hiding in the tower, from taking the opportunity to escape, and at the same time, they were also watching the Three Swords Sect's every move.
Not far from these people, there was also a group of people from the Three Swords Sect staring at these people, and both sides did not dare to take it lightly.
The Taishan faction has repeatedly broken the tower these days, and has repeatedly hit the wall, but none of them have been able to succeed. The danger of this mad sword tower was far greater than they had imagined. Although they had organized a number of Eight or Nine Heavenly Martial Artists to break into it, they still failed to succeed, and at most they could only break through to the fifth layer of the Crazy Sword Tower, and they were ambushed by the mechanism in the tower and forced to retreat. Among the people who entered the Crazy Sword Desperate Tower, several people were seriously injured, and if it wasn't for the timely rescue, they would have died in the tower.
Now, it has reached the seventh day of the agreed date, if the tower cannot be broken today, the people of the Taishan faction can only retreat in a huff, and from now on, they can no longer run to the Three Swords Sect to ask for a murderer.
The sun has begun to deflect to the west, and it won't be long before the end of the day.
Everyone in the Taishan faction under the tower showed a dignified look, and one by one they wrinkled their brows into pimples, while the people of the Three Swords Sect all showed a look of schadenfreude and mockery, and the people on the two sides can be said to be very different.
"Alas, I don't know how the head of the house is scheduling, if you don't send someone to break the tower, I'm afraid it's going to be too late." Xiao Yunyin frowned, and said a word to Zhi Canghai, who was sitting not far away. Among the three musketeers of Mount Tai, the two of them are calm, so these days the two of them are guarding here instead of the head. As for Thunderbolt Swordsman. Lei Ming has remained in the Taishan faction.
"Even if you mobilize a group of Nine Heavenly Martial Artists to come over, I'm afraid you won't be able to break this Crazy Sword Desperate Tower, and even if you do, you will have to pay a great price. When the tower was broken several times a few days ago, our people repeatedly hit the wall, at most they only attacked the fifth floor, which was not the most dangerous place in the tower, the most dangerous place was located on the higher floors. In order to catch a person who is suspected of Fang Xiaorou, it is really not worth paying such a big price. Zhi Canghai shook his head slightly. On the palm of his hand, he was holding an ancient book, and while everyone else was meditating and cultivating, he had been reading this book, and he seemed to be very diligent and studious.
"Fang Xiaorou killed Le I don't know this child, which angered the people of the Taishan faction, how could the Taishan faction give up. It's not a question of whether it's worth it anymore. β
"The head of the sect has sent out a group of people to find Master Lu Wen, the builder of the Crazy Knife Desperate Tower, if he can find this person successfully, it will save him a lot of trouble. To unlock the bell, you have to tie the bell, and if you know how to crack it, it will be much easier to break this tower. β
"Lu Wenjin has washed his hands for many years, this sea of people is vast, how can it be so easy to find. I'm afraid that this is not feasible. β
As soon as Zhi Canghai wanted to reply, his ears suddenly moved, and he said, "Listen, there seems to be a sound of breaking the air in the distance." β
Xiao Yunyin listened attentively, and really heard some movement, nodded and said, "Well, there is some movement, maybe the head of the family is leading people over." Today is the last day of the deadline, and whether the tower can be successfully broken or not is all up to here. β
These two people really heard it right, not long after, the sound of breaking the sky came from far and near, and several warriors were flying in the air, led by Jin Tai, the head of the Taishan faction, and beside him, Zhao Zheng and others who were responsible for breaking the tower.
When the matter was urgent, Jin Tai and the others did not climb up the mountain in accordance with the rules, but only used the method of sound transmission to say hello to Zhuo Hongri, and then hurriedly flew to the vicinity of the Crazy Knife Desperate Tower, and fell to the ground one after another. These days, every time they come here, they do it.
As soon as they saw the arrival of the head of the sect and others, Zhi Canghai and other Taishan people who stayed here immediately got up to greet each other, greeted each other, and asked each other about the situation. When they learned that Zhao Zheng and the others had learned the method of breaking the tower, Zhi Canghai and the others were in high spirits. The Tarzan faction now finally has a glimmer of hope for breaking this mad sword desperate tower. (To be continued......)
