Chapter 123:-for-tat
Above the sea and seamount, on the top of the snowy peaks.
"I didn't expect that the sect leader still came here at the last moment, why didn't I think of it for such a long time!"
It was Ouyang Long who spoke, and at this time he was standing on the highest peak of the entire sea and mountain, facing the snow, and kept sighing.
"Where exactly is the place you're talking about?" After looking around, Ouyang Long turned to a young man dressed as a scholar.
"It's my first time here, and according to this map, it should be here. Let's split up and look for clues. "The person dressed as a scholar is naturally Chen Ke, and the second palm sect who was originally handsome has changed greatly at this time. Not only are there burn scars all over his face, but even his entire right arm is weakly half-hung at his side, looking miserable.
But Ouyang Long didn't have any pity for him, but responded: "Hmph, this map has always been in your hands, whatever you say is what, I just hope you don't play any tricks this time." ”
"Big brother, what you said is not appropriate. The second brother of this place could have come by himself, but he was willing to share this map with us, which was already benevolent and righteous. Instead of being grateful, we should be suspicious, and it's chilling. As an important figure on Chen Ke's side, Wei Erxiao was naturally dissatisfied with Ouyang Long's questioning, although one eye was completely blind, the kung fu on his mouth did not diminish in the slightest.
"Cut, Sixth Brother, is it appropriate for you to call the second brother like this, he is now the leader of the Heaven Covering Sect, be careful to treat you for a big crime of disrespect. Some people's methods are very dark! ”
"Ye Lao Wu, you...
Chen Ke had someone to speak for him, Ouyang Long naturally had it, and Ye Qingfan, the Five Palms Sect, also replied mercilessly. This sarcastic sentence was obviously more lethal, and even Chen Ke's face changed color.
"Fifth brother, what do you mean by this?" Chen Ke suppressed Wei Erxiao, who was a little angry, and said in person, but the voice was cold.
"It's not interesting, the fifth is just telling the truth."
Soldier against soldier, general against general. Since Chen Ke wants to say two sentences, Ouyang Long naturally can't be cowardly, anyway, he won't give Chen Ke any good face.
"Ouyang is in charge! I've always respected you, and I've never offended you, but along the way, you've been finding fault and being quite hostile to me. Am I so unbearable and untrustworthy in your eyes? ”
"Chen Ke, there are only a few of us here, why do you have to pretend. What grievances there are between you and me, everyone here knows very well. I trusted you too much before, so I would let you take advantage of it and tear our Heaven Covering Sect apart. ”
"Ouyang Long! I know you've always been unhappy with me for establishing myself as the new leader, and you think this seat should be sitting in the hands of you, the Grand Master, right? ”
"Humph!" Ouyang Long smiled disdainfully: "Chen Ke, do you think everyone is as greedy for power as you?" Let me tell you, in my heart, there is only one leader of the Heaven Covering Sect, and that is Chendong. Without him, there would be no Heaven Covering Sect today, and we wouldn't be alive now. Therefore, he alone is qualified to rule us all. As for the others, don't imagine! ”
"Hahaha, Ouyang Long, Ouyang Long." After hearing his words, Chen Ke laughed and said: "Since I have spoken today, then I will not hide it, if you want me to say, just by the few words you just said, you are not worthy of being the great master of this Heaven Covering Sect." ”
"What's the matter, you, Sect Leader Chen, removed me from the position of the Great Sect Master?"
"Hmph, I know that you don't recognize me, and I naturally don't have that much power, but if Sect Master Chen is here, I believe he will definitely support me, because you don't deserve to be this big sect leader at all!"
"Oh? Then I'll listen carefully, what heinous crime did I, Ouyang Long, commit that would make the sect so intolerable to me. ”
"Good! Ouyang Long, let me ask you, after the disappearance of Sect Master Chen, you have been busy inquiring about the whereabouts of the sect leader all day long, have you ever managed the affairs of the sect? Let me ask you again, after the disappearance of the sect leader, in the face of the threat of the six major factions and the upper three sects, have you led the members of the Heaven Covering Sect to fight against them? I also want to ask you, knowing that the sect leader will not be able to be found in a short period of time, have you ever thought about how the Heaven Covering Sect will survive and develop in the later stage, and how will these tens of thousands of sect members be pacified and led?
Isn't it all up to me? You say that the Heaven Covering Sect is torn apart because of me, then I tell you the truth, if it weren't for me, the Heaven Covering Sect would have died long ago! ”
The more Chen Ke spoke, the more excited he became, the green tendons on his forehead also flared up, and he walked towards Ouyang Long step by step, and said fiercely to his face: "Ouyang Long, let me ask you one last time, if you were me, what would you do if you saw the Heaven Covering Sect in such a predicament?" What would you choose? Do you want to watch the hard work of the Chen Sect Master go down the drain? Do you want to let this No. 1 martial arts sect remain leaderless and become a plate of loose sand? These behaviors and practices of yours only take into account your personal feelings, and you have not considered the Heaven Covering Sect itself at all, you are not worthy of the position of the Great Palm Sect! ”
In the face of Chen Ke's pressing step by step, Ouyang Long was like an old monk who had settled down, without any emotional fluctuations, and did not speak until the other party finished speaking: "Chen Ke, no matter how clever you are, it is useless, you know what you have done yourself." At the beginning, we were all looking for the whereabouts of the sect leader, but we left you in the head church, on the one hand, to collect and summarize the news that everyone had inquired about, and on the other hand, to let you deal with the affairs of the sect. When we returned, we were greeted not by the former brother, but by a beast who pointed a sword at us and forced us to recognize his position as the head of the sect! Do you think that the scene of that day will be forgotten by the people here? ”
"I can't help it, if I don't force you, you will never forget Chendong, you will always focus all your energy on finding Chendong, then the Heaven Covering Sect will never be led by anyone, and we are also destined to be wiped out by the six major factions and the upper three sects. I'm doing this for everyone, for the sake of covering the heavens and teaching the good, why don't you understand me! Chen Ke argued.
"Hmph, you know best what you are for, in short, you are dead, I, Ouyang Long, will never admit that there is a sect leader like you in my life."
"You..."
"Alright, alright. Didn't we already discuss it before we set off, and we won't talk about the previous things again, and we will talk about everything until we find the sect leader's order. Let's look around for clues first, and see if there are any hidden entrances or secret passages or other things. Seeing that Chen Ke and Ouyang Long were talking more and more, the smell of gunpowder became stronger and stronger, Ye Fengchun had to come out to play a round, he had reached this point, of course he didn't want the two parties to have a conflict, so he could only change the topic to find the entrance.
This worked, and the tension suddenly eased, and fortunately, they soon made a new discovery.
