The bright lobby was full of people, and a middle-aged man was sitting in the first seat, who was looking at the people who were talking lightly, without saying a word.

This middle-aged monk is the city lord of Fengling City, and his location is the city lord's mansion.

Since the disappearance of the secret realm at the foot of Fengling Mountain yesterday, the leaders of the various sect families, as well as everyone who came out of the secret realm, have been invited to the City Lord's Mansion, after all, there are some things to figure out.

On the third day after the secret realm was opened, the disciples of Xiangyangmen brought shocking news, that is, the eldest disciple of Xiangyangmen had been killed five days ago, and the disciple in charge of the sect had broken the soul jade tablet.

The reason why this news is shocking is because when the entrance to the secret realm was opened, this big disciple was on the scene, and he was selected by the secret realm and had already entered.

When the news was first delivered, everyone didn't believe it, and they speculated whether there was something wrong with the Soul Jade Plate, or the disciple guarding the Jade Plate was wrong, and even the head of Xiangyang Gate didn't believe it.

Because the big disciple was his apprentice, they had been staying together for the past few days and waiting for the secret realm to open, and that disciple's words and deeds did not have anything unusual with the usual, so he naturally didn't believe what the disciple who came to report the news said.

But it didn't take long for the families of various sects to receive the same news one after another, all of which were the news that their disciples had been killed a few days ago, and everyone realized that something was wrong.

Because those people were all on the scene when the secret realm was opened.

Everyone is not vegetarian, and soon thought that someone was impersonating his identity and trying to sneak into the secret realm, which immediately shocked the person in charge of the sect involved, but there was no solution.

The entrance to the secret realm was closed the day after it opened.

Those team leaders who didn't receive the news just breathed a sigh of relief, and then a few days later, news came one after another.

This time it's not that the disciple has been impersonated, this time it's the disciple's soul jade plate that has been shattered after entering, and he obviously suffered misfortune in the secret realm.

Everyone was shocked at the moment, it had only been a few days since they entered, and so many disciples had already been killed, at this time they all thought of the group of people who pretended to be the people who went in, originally thought that they went in just to grab the treasure, but they didn't expect that they were actually killing people on a large scale.

Since you want to kill someone, then your cultivation must not be low, and there is no shortage of disciples who enter the foundation building period, and once you face it, there is basically no possibility of survival.

For a time, all the monks outside the secret were shocked and angry, and their hearts were uneasy.

No one knows what will happen inside, no one knows how many more disciples will die, and most of the disciples who can be brought here are elite disciples who are focused on cultivating by the sect, and the loss of one will have a certain impact on the sect in the future, let alone the loss of a batch.

In those days, there was a gloomy cloud in front of the entrance of the secret realm, and people from all sects and sects were anxiously waiting, at this time they no longer expected their disciples to bring anything out of the secret realm, and it would be good to keep a small life.

Qin Jianglan was also a little restless in those days.

Originally, he was still thinking about whether to take advantage of Lin Huaizhu's entry into the secret realm to return to the sect to retreat, and let the senior brother of the head of the sect change another person to come and guard here, but before he could think about whether to do this, other sects received the news of the death of their disciples one after another, and stopped him.

Lin Huaizhu is still in there at the moment!

Fortunately, after he and the senior brother in charge passed the news, he received the news that her soul jade plate was safe and sound, and his tense heart slowed down slightly, but he was still anxious to wait outside, and he never relaxed his mind for a moment.

Fortunately, Qin Jianglan is an emotionally introverted person, rarely revealing his mood, except for those close to him who can distinguish his extremely subtle changes, in the eyes of others, he is still as calm as water.

It was because everyone saw him meditating near the entrance of the secret realm, although his face was solemn but very indifferent, as if things had not reached the worst level, he was also infected by his indifferent appearance, and the original noisy and panicked voice gradually became smaller, as if he had the backbone, and began to learn Qin Jianglan to stay here silently, waiting for the disciple to come out.

After more than a month like this, when everyone was impatient again and couldn't calm down, the entrance to the secret realm suddenly flashed, and then, all the disciples who went in came out.

Qin Jianglan's eyes quickly swept to the person he was looking for, and his heart, which had been anxious for so many days, finally let go, he still stood up with a calm look, and slowly called: "Huaizhu." ”

Then he saw that the person who was still in a trance looked at him with a different face, and the next second, his dark eyes suddenly lit up, and he rushed towards him and hugged him.

At that moment, he froze, knowing that there were many people around him watching them, looking at them with all kinds of strange and horrified eyes, and when he felt the person in his arms trembling slightly because of fear, he didn't want to push her away.

It's very strange, Qin Jianglan has lived for more than eight hundred years, and for the first time he feels that he is not sick, his current behavior is too strange.

He and Lin Huaizhu are masters and apprentices, and Lin Huaizhu is now wearing men's clothes, he should push her away.

Why did he wait anxiously for more than a month, seeing her return safely, he only felt a faint joy rising in his heart, and it was so strange for her to hold him like this in front of everyone.

At this time, Lin Huaizhu was not trembling slightly because of fear as Qin Jianglan thought, but actually trembling because he couldn't hold back his laughter with joy.

Because she found out that the master hadn't left here, she originally thought that after she left the secret realm, she would see that the monk in charge of guarding this place in the Taichu Gate had changed.

After all, she did such and such things to the master before going in, and the master should avoid her lest it be too late, but she still waited for her at the entrance and came out, so how could she not be happy enough to snicker.

Yin Li watched this scene in the sea of knowledge, and could only shake his head wordlessly.

Girl, have you forgotten that you're wearing men's clothes?

Well, she really forgot.

At first, the surrounding monks were still worried about their disciples, and they were constantly looking for people among the people who came out, but gradually, everyone's eyes converged on a certain side, and there was an incredible light in their eyes, and some people excitedly lowered their voices and began to discuss.

"So the rumors back then turned out to be true?"

"What rumors?"

"You don't know? I heard that there was a rumor in the cultivation world hundreds of years ago that Qingyuan Daojun and his senior brother Qingjia Daojun had something unspeakable! ”

"Wow...... Are you sure? Qingyuan Daojun and Qingjia Daojun are the two of them? The monk, who had heard it for the first time, was excited, and asked aggressively with a pair of shining eyes.

"I know I know, I also heard about this matter, it was quite a big trouble at the time, it seems that the Tianji Elder of the Beidou Hall was also involved, it is said that Qingjia Daojun was on good terms with Elder Tianji at the beginning, but later Qingjia Daojun empathized and fell in love with Qingyuan Daojun, who was handsome and extraordinary, cold as jade, and turned to pursue and abandoned Elder Tianji." The monk who whispered to everyone to popularize the "old things" watched more and more people join the ranks of the audience, and the more he spoke, the more energetic he became, and his tone was very excited, "As a result, he angered Elder Tianji and forced the Beidou Hall to open the mountain protection array, refusing Qingjia Daojun to go to Beidou Mountain again." ”

"Ah, I see! No wonder there were so many people who passed by the Beidou Hall at that time and were accidentally injured by the mountain protection array, and I was still wondering why the Beidou Hall was good, and it was not wartime, why did I open the mountain protection array, so it was. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I think about it, it's true, if you don't say it, I'll forget it."

Everyone gossiped about you and me, arranging the whole story completely, and then when they looked at the two of them again, their eyes turned from surprise to understanding, and some people's eyes even exuded strong contempt and disdain, and Yin Li was very sympathetic to Qin Jianglan.

Qingyuan Daojun's reputation was either ruined in the hands of his senior brother or in the hands of Lin Huaizhu, who was wearing men's clothes.

Maybe everyone's gaze was too strong, Lin Huaizhu finally realized that something was wrong, and then remembered that he was now a man, so he hurriedly let go of Qin Jianglan and shouted loudly: "Master, the apprentice almost couldn't see you, the secret realm was mixed with the demon cultivator, and the apprentice almost died under the hands of the demon cultivator!" ”

"What? Demon Cultivator! ”

The people who had been paying attention to the two of them were stunned when they heard this, and they didn't care about exploring the gossip between the two of them, and they discussed it one after another.

"There is a demon cultivator in the secret realm?"

"How could it be, I was also present when the secret realm was opened, and I didn't see any demon cultivators appear."

The person who was shocked by this was puzzled, and soon someone questioned: "You said that there is a demon cultivator in the secret realm, but now that the secret realm has been closed, and everything that should come out has come out, where is the shadow of the demon cultivator?" In my opinion, most of it was you who deliberately lied in order to cover up the matter between you and Qin Jianglan! ”

Lin Huaizhu glanced at the person who spoke, and saw that there was contempt hidden in his eyes, knowing that this person probably felt that she and Qin Jianglan had a dragon yang fetish, and was disgusted, so he intended to trouble her.

Lin Huaizhu was not annoyed, he only glanced at the man and skipped it, and said to the other monks: "What I said is not credible, what about other people's words?" You may wish to ask the other disciples who have come out of the secret realm and see what they have to say. ”

The rest of the people who were forcibly ejected by the secret realm didn't know what was going on, only that they had explored well, and the secret realm suddenly shook the ground, and then they were driven out.

This will still be a little confusing, busy with their respective sects and their own elders to report these days and the secret realm of the appearance of demon cultivators, I heard Lin Huaizhu amplify the volume and said, busy nodding for a while to confirm, confirming that there are demon cultivators in the secret realm.

Most of the people who saw it echoed Lin Huaizhu's words, and a small number of disciples who had not met the demon cultivator said that they were not clear, and the monks who had questioned it before had nothing to say, and stood aside and were silent.

The steward sent by the City Lord's Mansion was also present, and when he saw that everyone was angry and wanted to seek revenge on the Demon Cultivator after hearing that there was a Demon Cultivator in the secret realm, it was inevitable that they would bring trouble to Fengling City, so he hurriedly stopped him, and said with a gentle attitude: "Everyone, I know that everyone is very angry now, and I can't wait to fight with the Demon Cultivator, but now we are in the light, the enemy is in the dark, and the Demon Cultivator is very insidious and cunning, so we go so rashly, it is easy to suffer, if not, when I go back today and tell the City Lord, tomorrow, You can send a few people and disciples from the secret realm to the City Lord's Mansion to find out what happened and then make plans together to discuss how to deal with the demon cultivators, what do you say? ”

As soon as the steward's words came out, no one spoke, and the surroundings were quiet, all thinking about these words in their hearts.

In fact, they all knew that they really couldn't fight against the demon cultivators by themselves or the strength of the Shimen family, and now that the City Lord's Mansion took the initiative to make a suggestion, they felt that it was beneficial to them after pondering, so they all agreed.

Therefore, today, this group of people will gather in the City Lord's Mansion so noisily, waiting for a result to be discussed.
