Chapter 612: A Powerful Enemy
Gu Chen saw that the Ghost Sword Venerable was looking at him, so he showed a meaningful smile, and then turned his head away, looking nonchalant.
The Ghost Sword Venerable knew that Gu Chen was letting himself make up his mind.
The Ghost Sword Venerable was difficult to decide for a while, if there was no such thing as Winter Evil, the Ghost Sword Venerable would definitely swallow the psychic compass according to the original plan, after all, he could be regarded as a favor to the Lingxiao Sword Sect, and it was difficult for Luo Shenji to be held accountable even if he was dissatisfied.
But now, the matter of Dongsha still needs to rely on the Lingxiao Sword Sect, if it angers Luo Shenji because of this, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble, and Dongsha is a brother who has passed his life to the Ghost Sword Venerable, and the importance in his heart is naturally not comparable to that of the psychic compass.
Therefore, after thinking about it again, the Ghost Sword Venerable still took out the psychic compass.
"The psychic compass is here, intact, and it will be returned in its original form today!" The Ghost Sword Venerable saw that the psychic compass was handed to Luo Shenji.
Luo Shenji glanced at the Ghost Sword Venerable meaningfully, and then put away the psychic compass with a smile.
Seeing this, Gu Chen couldn't help but nod secretly, although if the Ghost Sword Venerable swallowed the psychic compass, he would definitely give himself a part of the benefits, but how could Gu Chen be a person who was greedy for small fortunes? Originally, the reason why Gu Chen gave the Ghost Sword Venerable such an idea was mainly because he was angry at the time, and he was a little dissatisfied with Luo Shenji's approach. But Gu Chen had already learned about the cause and effect of the matter from Qiu Yuan before, so now he had already let go of his prejudices. Therefore, the Ghost Sword Venerable was able to let go of his greed at this time and return the psychic compass to Luo Shenji, Gu Chen was naturally happy to see it. Gu Chen naturally knew that the reason why the Ghost Sword Venerable was like this was for Xu Guang, that is, Dongsha. From this, it can be seen that the Ghost Sword Venerable is a person who values love and righteousness.
......
The group soon returned to Huang's house.
Feng Rin Wu and Long Ranxi were naturally overjoyed when they saw Gu Chen's return, and the two daughters didn't care about others, so they directly pulled Gu Chen away and returned to the small courtyard arranged by the Huang family for the three of them.
Luo Shenji and the others all laughed at this.
After being dragged back to the small courtyard, the second daughter kept asking Gu Chen about what he had experienced on the way, whether he had encountered danger, and so on.
Feng Rin Wu and Long Ranxi pestered Gu Chen for half a night, until Luo Yunyang of the Lingxiao Sword Sect came to inform Gu Chen that the Sword Immortal, the Sword Emperor, and Xiao Moyan had returned, and asked Gu Chen to go to the Huang Family's main hall to discuss important matters.
Gu Chen got up and said to Feng Rinwu and Long Ranxi: "Feng'er, Ran Xi, you guys rest early at night, you don't have to wait for me, I'm going to the council, I think it will be very late to come back!"
"This time, the Sword Immortal, the Sword Emperor, and the Little Sword Immortal Xiao Moyan are all here, they must be discussing a big matter! Why don't I go with you?
Long Ranxi also took Gu Chen's hand and said, "Mmmm, I'll go too!"
After thinking for a while, Gu Chen nodded and said, "Okay, you guys go to the council with me!"
......
When Gu Chen, Feng Rinwu, and Long Ranxi arrived, the Huang family hall was already full of people.
At this time, Luo Shenji had no chance of being in the main seat, so he could only sit first on the left side, while the Purgatory Venerable was sitting first on the right side.
As for the first two main positions, of course, they are for the Sword Immortal and the Sword Emperor!
In addition, the Second Elder of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, Qiu Yuan, Hua Liuyun, Qu Shu, Luo Yunyang, Yan Feifei, the Ghost Sword Venerable of the Shura Palace, the Venerable of the Dragon, the Poison Shura Lin Yan, and the Yan Shura Yan Yan were all sitting on the left and right.
And Xiao Moyan was not in the hall at this time.
"I've seen the Sword Immortal seniors, I've seen the Sword Emperor seniors!" Gu Chen took Feng Rin Wu and Long Ranxi to salute the Sword Immortal and the Sword Emperor.
The Sword Emperor just nodded in response, his face was slightly gloomy, obviously unhappy, no wonder, after all, Luo Heng, who he trusted the most, died not long ago, and the enemy was so troublesome, he naturally wouldn't be in a good mood.
The Sword Immortal was a little enthusiastic, and said to Gu Chen and the others: "No courtesy!
After the three of them sat down next to Luo Shenji, the sword immortal said to Gu Chen and the others: "The three of you can come to help, but you have a heart!
Gu Chen arched his hand and replied: "It is our responsibility to maintain the stability of Kyushu! As for the matter of Yuezhou, everything is going well! The thief head Eagle Changkong and his eight generals have all been ambushed, and the remaining demon rebels have all been surrendered and brought back to the demon clan by General Niu Ting!"
Hearing this, the Sword Immortal nodded and said, "In this way, this sect will rest assured! After solving this demon rebel army, the Dragon King will only be alone, so there is nothing to worry about!"
Long Ranxi's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and after hesitating for a while, he asked the sword immortal, "Auntie...... Sword Immortal Senior, I don't know where my father is now?"
Long Ranxi originally wanted to call the Sword Immortal his uncle as usual, but thinking that there were many outsiders at this time, he hurriedly changed his mouth and called him the predecessor of the Sword Immortal.
"Alas!" Sword Immortal sighed lightly and said: "He is still the same as always, inseparable from Sikong Changye, I don't know what kind of benefits Sikong Changye promised him, and let him be so desperate!"
Long Ranxi was silent for a while when she heard this.
The Sword Immortal suddenly said: "Ran Xi, I know what you have in mind when you come this time, but you really shouldn't come! The Dragon King has already been devoured by desire, and he has no possibility of turning back! If you forcibly intervene, you will only be in a dilemma!"
Long Ranxi said with a serious face: "No matter what, no matter whether I can persuade him to turn back or not, I still have to give it a final try! However, the Sword Immortal Senior can rest assured, if he is still obsessed, I will never help him because he is my father!"
Hearing this, the Sword Immortal nodded, then looked at Long Ranxi with a look of relief and said, "Very good! You have grown up, you are sensible, and you can distinguish between right and wrong, and the Demon Emperor and I are deeply grateful!"
At this time, the Sword Emperor waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, your family affairs are private, don't waste time here!"
Although the Sword Emperor's move was a bit rude, the Sword Immortal knew that he was in a bad mood, so he didn't have the same knowledge as him.
The sword immortal's expression was straight, and he said loudly: "Since this is the case, then the sect will first talk about some of the information obtained these days!"
After a pause, the Sword Immortal continued: "After several temptations, we have learned that there are three Saint Realm powerhouses on the enemy side, including the well-known Sikong Changye and the Dragon King of the Demon Clan! His strength is very strong, not under the sect and the Sword Emperor, and his aura is very mixed, as if he has fused the exercises of the three sects of Dao, Buddha, and Demon into one, which is really weird and unpredictable!"
Everyone was extremely shocked when they heard this, they had already heard of that mysterious Saint Realm powerhouse, but they didn't expect that person to be so powerful, and his strength was not under the Sword Immortal and the Sword Emperor?
Hearing this evaluation, everyone's first reaction was to think of the "Buddha Venerable" who was as famous as the Sword Immortal and the Sword Emperor! But everyone felt that it could not be the Buddha Venerable.
The Sword Immortal continued: "In addition, there should be more than six of the enemy's Masters from the Holy Realm! Four of them are subordinates of the mysterious Saint Realm powerhouse, codenamed Spring Evil, Summer Evil, Autumn Evil, and Winter Evil. These four people are also of unknown origin, but their strength cannot be underestimated. The other two, one of them is the former Sect Master of the Heavenly Sect, Yun Tianqing, and the other is the long-missing Scattered Cultivator - 'Izumo Scattered People', this person is a genius of the Heavenly Sect, who has defeated many famous masters with his scattered cultivation body, and ranked third in the Heavenly Ranking more than thirty years ago! Now his strength has long since changed from what it used to be, and he has reached the peak of the Holy Realm, and I am afraid that he is only a stone's throw away from the Holy Realm!"
Everyone frowned when they heard this, the enemy's strength was really not to be underestimated, this kind of lineup was completely a super hidden force! Its individual strength was even far greater than any of the ten major forces of the Yuan Dynasty today! Even the Lingxiao Sword Sect could not compare with it! How did this kind of force manage to remain unknown to the public?
The Sword Immortal continued: "As for the Heavenly Rank masters, it is estimated that it should be more than a hundred, and the specific number is unknown. What's even more tricky is that their lair has a very powerful guardian array, even if this sect joins forces with the Sword Emperor, it will be difficult to break it!, however, if Master Qiuyuan can see through the formation and find out its weaknesses, it will definitely be much easier to break the formation!"
Qiu Yuan got up and said, "The old man must do his best! However, the formation that the Sword Immortal and the Sword Emperor can't break through when they join forces is definitely extraordinary, and the old man is not very sure!"
The sword immortal nodded and said, "Just do your best! If you really can't do it, we can only temporarily avoid the edge and invite the Buddha Sect to help! After all, the enemy's strength is not much weaker than ours, and there is a large array of guards, with our people, if we want to fight hard, even if we can win, it will be a miserable victory!
Everyone nodded when they heard this, indeed, if the price that needs to be paid is too great, it is indeed not suitable to fight hard.
"By the way, Shenji, I heard that you caught Dongsha?" the sword fairy suddenly asked Luo Shenji.
Luo Shenji hurriedly got up and replied: "Master Qiyu, two days ago, Dong was about to attack Master Qiuyuan, but he was trapped by Master Qiuyuan with a formation, and then captured him alive under the joint efforts of Sect Master Gu and Ghost Sword Venerable!"
"That's very good!" Sword Immortal nodded, and then asked Luo Shenji, "What can you ask from his mouth?
Luo Shenji shook his head and said: "Dongsha's mouth is very tight, and he would rather die than reveal half a word, but I found out that he seems to have been affected by a strange force in his mind, making him extremely loyal to his master." In addition, according to the Ghost Sword Venerable, Dong Sha is his old friend, and it has been more than forty years since he disappeared. But the two of them had a fateful friendship, and the Ghost Sword Venerable was sure that as long as he expelled the strange power that affected Dongsha's mind, he would definitely get lost!"
The Sword Immortal groaned for a while when he heard this, and then said, "Since that's the case, then bring him up! Everyone take a look to see if there is a way to restore his mind!"
"I'll go!" said the Ghost Sword Venerable, standing up.
The Sword Immortal and the Sword Emperor nodded at the same time.
A moment later, the Ghost Sword Venerable came to the hall with the unconscious Winter Shah.
Although in order to question Dongsha before, Luo Shenji lifted the "Forbidden Soul Technique" set by Gu Chen on Dongsha and made Dongsha sober up, but after the questioning was fruitless, Luo Shenji used the "Forbidden Soul Technique" to reseal Dongsha and make him unconscious again.
Although the "Forbidden Soul Technique" is an extremely rare secret technique, the Lingxiao Sword Sect has a profound heritage and treasures all kinds of secret techniques, among which there is the "Forbidden Soul Technique", and Luo Shenji also has no less attainments than Gu Chen in the "Forbidden Soul Technique", so it is easy to lift the seal or re-set the seal.
The Ghost Sword Venerable erected Dong Sha in the center of the hall, and then said to the Sword Emperor and the Sword Immortal: "Hall Master, Sword Immortal Senior, Dong Sha has been in a coma after performing the 'Forbidden Soul Technique', I am not good at this, I am afraid that I still need to remove this technique from Sect Master Gu or Sect Master Luo!"
The sword immortal glanced at Luo Shenji and said, "Shenji, come on!"
