Chapter Ninety-One: Surfacing
Chapter 91
At the beginning of Lu Fan's retreat, Han Chong felt deep self-reproach when he saw him being ridiculed, so he immersed himself in penance, and it didn't take long for him to break through to the first layer of condensation, and then because of the lack of cultivation resources, he came up with the idea of taking tasks and exchanging sect contribution points for resources, which also became the reason why he followed Jiang Tianshan out to practice.
The group slowly advanced towards the north, and when Jiang Tianshan led everyone to Murong Mansion, a trace of doubt rose in everyone's hearts, not knowing what Jiang Tianshan's plans were.
At that time, they didn't know that this Murong Mansion was their own hell and the beginning of all nightmares...
"My lord, let me go! I am willing to make you a cow and a horse, please let me go!"
"My lord, I still have elderly parents and old people at home, just let me go back!"
"I promise, I will not be a disciple of the Shangqing Sect in the future! If there is some grudge between you and the Shangqing Sect, the little one will definitely keep his mouth shut!"
A cry for mercy, a wail, a poignant word, a heart-rending despair, echoing in this dark underground...
"Go back?hmph!" Yang Xuan's eyes were full of disdain, his research was about to succeed, and when he was done, he could take away a large amount of resources from the Murong family that the ancestor had promised at the beginning, how could he let them go back!
"You should feel lucky, being able to become an experimental specimen on my Dan Dao is a blessing that you can't cultivate in several lifetimes!" Yang Xuan roared loudly, his eyes wide with anger and a hideous complexion, already crazy!
These people slowly stopped talking, looked up at Yang Xuan, extreme remorse, resentment, and unwillingness, all intertwined, gradually entangled in their eyes, and finally turned into a ray of ghostly light that no one could detect, slowly drifting away...
Yang Xuan suddenly felt a tightness in his heart, the temperature around him seemed to drop sharply, and the biting cold penetrated his skin, about to freeze his entire mind!
Yang Xuan hurriedly used the cultivation of his whole body, and after spreading out his spiritual sense and carefully examining the surroundings, he didn't find anything abnormal, but the cold of that moment just now made him feel like falling into an ice cave, which was very real in terms of feeling!
With a shudder, Yang Xuan muttered something in a low voice, and was not in the mood to stay here, after glaring at everyone viciously, he turned around and left to continue studying the Blood Pill...
Murong family, Jiang Tianshan's residence.
A peaceful stone house stands quietly in a field of flowers and plants, although it doesn't look very big, but each stone is carved with exquisite and delicate patterns, and an eagle with wings spread on the stone roof is lifelike, symbolizing the soaring prosperity of the Murong family and the ambition of the Murong family to stand in the nine heavens!
"Xiao Hai, did the sect master send you here this time, did you mention anything else?" In the stone house, Jiang Tianshan sat leisurely on the chair, picked up a hot tea on the table, blew away the tea leaves floating on the water, and took a sip gently.
Jiang Tianhai shook his head, his face was faintly uneasy, and he raised his eyes to look at his eldest brother from time to time, and stopped talking.
"I haven't asked you in detail, I didn't expect that after a long time, you have also broken through to the seventh layer of condensation!" Jiang Tianshan put down the teacup in his hand, his tone became softer, he and his younger brother have been dependent on each other since childhood, and now seeing Jiang Tianhai break through in just two months, his heart is very relieved.
Since receiving Jiang Tianhai's message last night, he quickly got up and left Murong Mansion to find Jiang Tianhai, he was very excited along the way, Murong City is not very big for monks, and after a while, he came to the location mentioned in Jiang Tianhai's letter.
The two are brothers, hugging each other after meeting, without too many words, a look, a movement, can show each other's worries and thoughts.
After talking to each other, because of Lu Fan's arrival, Jiang Tianshan had to return to Murong Mansion to arrange the next countermeasures, and it was not until early this morning that Jiang Tianhai was taken to the mansion, and the two sat with each other and exchanged information in their hands.
"That's... That's because of Lu Fan, with his help, I broke through to the seventh layer of condensation, if it weren't for him, I would still be struggling in the sixth layer of condensation!" Jiang Tianhai said absentmindedly, and then lowered his head, not daring to look directly at his eldest brother, with a little dodge in his eyes.
"Big brother, Lu Fan treats me well, and he can be regarded as my benefactor, but why do you still push him into the sea of fire!" After a long time, Jiang Tianhai gritted his teeth fiercely and said what he thought in his heart.
Jiang Tianshan was slightly stunned, there was some surprise in his eyes, he had been by Jiang Tianhai's side since he was a child, he knew his character well, he used to be undisciplined by Tianhai, and he had never had such a good impression of anyone, this scene was reflected in Jiang Tianshan's eyes, so that he couldn't help but look at his younger brother more, and the surprise in his heart became more and more intense.
"The sect master asked you to act as a bridge between the sect and the Murong family, you are my eldest brother, no matter what you do, I will support you unconditionally, but I didn't expect that you would actually kill all the disciples who came with you here!" Jiang Tianhai's emotions were a little out of control, and his face turned red from excitement!
After meeting Jiang Tianshan in a hurry last night, he learned that all the disciples who came together were all used as experiments in the blood pill, and he was in pain! What he cared about the most was that among those people, there was also Han Chong, who Lu Fan had been looking for!
"Xiaohai, you don't know the reason for this, even if I bring them back to the sect, it may not be safe..."
Jiang Tianhai clenched his teeth, his eyes were still full of stubbornness, he didn't know what the reason was in Jiang Tianshan's pass, and he didn't want to know what he thought, at this moment he only knew that his brother buried the eight names in his hands for no reason...
"The two of us have depended on each other since childhood, my father and mother never came back after an outing, it was the kind people in the village who adopted us, eating hundreds of family meals, looking at the lights of ten thousand homes, how happy we were at that time..."Jiang Tianhai slowly lowered his head, with a hint of loneliness in his tone.
"Do you remember? My father and mother once said that in life, don't be greedy for money, fame, and fortune, don't go against your conscience, peace is a blessing... But big brother, look at what you have done now! When you first stepped into the cultivation path of the Shangqing Sect, you said that it was to better protect me, if I knew that you would become like this at that time, then I would rather go back and be willing to be a mortal for the rest of my life!"
Jiang Tianhai's voice was a little hoarse, with a trace of crystal tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, he didn't understand why his brother's personality suddenly changed drastically, and he even didn't hesitate to kill his fellow sect members to complete the dirty deal between the sect master and the Murong family.
"Xiaohai, I remember all this..."Jiang Tianshan was a little unbearable, looking at the young man in front of him, as if he remembered the immature child, babbling behind him, opening his fleshy little hand and rushing towards him...
"Last night, you said that Lu Yunfei betrayed the sect halfway, and said that if you leave with him, he promised that anyone would set foot in the foundation within three months, haven't you thought about the hidden crisis in this?"
"The ancestor of the Murong family suddenly broke through to the middle stage of foundation building fifty years ago, and then there was a second foundation building powerhouse in the clan, twenty years ago in the Forest of the Demon Domain, the disciple of Beifeng was missing, and then the blood pill appeared, the Blood Soul Sect moved, the Nancheng branch sect changed, the disciples from all walks of life were missing, and the sect closed the mountain... I have the mark left by the sect master on my body, so it's inconvenient to say more, but Dongzhou, it's really going to change the sky..."Jiang Tianshan was silent for a long time, and after thinking about it again, he still told Jiang Tianhai these scattered information, hoping to get his understanding.
Jiang Tianhai's face gradually changed from loneliness to surprise, until finally it turned into a deep shock! He was not a dull and stupid person, he carefully pondered these scattered information, and faintly felt that something big was going to happen in Dongzhou!
"It just so happened that Lu Fan appeared at this time and broke into this huge whirlpool, although I don't know what he wanted, but he is the young master of the Quasi-Dan Pavilion, maybe the Dan Pavilion Ancestor sent him..."Jiang Tianshan frowned tightly, constantly guessing Lu Fan's purpose.
"His purpose is to find Han Chong! No matter what, Lu Fan has been very kind to me, and I want to save him!" Jiang Tianhai said loudly, and then stood up, the resoluteness in his eyes seemed to be impossible for anyone to change!
"No! Then Lu Fan is already trapped in the attic at this time, Murong Ancestor has no intention of letting him go at all, if you come to the rescue now, there will be countless monks in the mansion to stop you, and even you will be in danger!" Jiang Tianshan refused, and his undoubted tone made Jiang Tianhai's heart more and more anxious!
The atmosphere in the stone house suddenly became tense, and the two brothers each had one idea and refused to give in to each other, and there was a stalemate for a while!
"Boom!"
Just as the two were about to forcibly stop each other, a violent roar suddenly came from the direction of the attic!
The two brothers glanced at each other, saw the surprise in each other's eyes, then nodded their heads, got up and galloped towards the attic!
At this time, the aura in the formation had been devoured by Lu Fan, Zhou Xinyu squeezed all the aura around Lu Fan, outside the attic, Qin Xiao's figure was slightly embarrassed, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, and as the black fog dissipated in mid-air, the ripples on the formation slowly dissipated.
"Isn't it enough!" Qin Xiao shouted, and once again burst out with all his cultivation, and the black fog rolled around him in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, a ten-zhang demon ghost condensed in mid-air, this ghost had no face, no sorrow or joy, and then clenched his right fist and blasted towards the formation in front of him!
Another deafening roar!
