Now, Lin Xu finally knew the true purpose of Ren Zizai, and smiled bitterly, "The disciple is still in the trap." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Haha, Jiang is old and spicy!" Ren Zizi twisted his beard and laughed, "Don't look bitter! This Southern Xinjiang Spirit Refining Medicine Master Contest is also an opportunity for you to show." ”

Lin Xu pursed his lips, "You said yes." ”

"Stinky boy, you're a bargain. I can tell you, there are only three places in the Shadow Pavilion, and I don't know how many disciples are vying to go!"

Lin Xu disagreed, "It seems that if you don't go, you won't be able to, so you can tell your disciple about this Southern Xinjiang Spirit Refining Medicine Master Competition, right?"

"The Southern Xinjiang Spiritual Medicine Master Competition, held every five years, is one of the largest events in the entire Southern Xinjiang, and almost all sects will send disciples to participate. Hmph, this competition is hosted by the Taidou Dan Wang Sect of the Refining Realm, and the super first-class forces such as the Moon Sect and the Pure Land Sect all have five places to participate, but I hate that there are only three in my Shadow Pavilion!"

"As far as the disciple knows, the Shadow Pavilion is also one of the five major forces in Southern Xinjiang, why are there only three places?" Lin Xu was a little puzzled.

Ren Zizai laughed at himself, "Hehe, one of the five major forces in Southern Xinjiang? That was a long time ago! The current Shadow Pavilion, although it is not said to exist in name only, but there are also some rivers that are declining, and recently some sects have even begun to have bad intentions towards the Shadow Pavilion and are eyeing each other. That's why the competition is so important. ”

"That...... In previous competitions, how did Shadow Pavilion perform?"

"I'm ashamed to say that, as one of the five major forces in the past, the Shadow Pavilion has been ranked outside the sixth or seventh place in the last two competitions!" Speaking of this, Elder Ren's face was full of depression, which showed that he was very aggrieved in his heart.

Lin Xu secretly thought, this is really a long way to go, there are only three places, and if you want to enter the top five, the difficulty can be imagined.

"Elder Ren, I wonder who the other two contestants are?"

Ren Zizi smiled, "The two of them are also outstanding alchemy geniuses, so you will naturally see them when the time comes." ”

Lin Xu slandered in his heart, and secretly said that this old man's tone was really tight. Since Ren Zizi was reluctant to say, he couldn't ask again.

"You have to be careful about the people who check the house recently!" Ren Zizi suddenly said in a deep voice.

"Is it because I defeated Cha Haiming? If so, this Cha family's strength is inevitably too small. Lin Xu said with some disdain.

"Don't talk about a Cha Haiming, even if Cha Qiong? It's just that they have something to do with the Hidden Family. ”

"The Hidden Family, what is that?" Lin Xu heard for the first time that there was such a force.

"In southern Xinjiang, in addition to the major forces on the surface, there are also some families that have been inherited for thousands of years. These families don't care about good or evil, and they rarely participate in fights, so their reputation is not loud, but their strength can be called terrifying. ”

Lin Xu's heart moved, "Could it be that this Cha family ......?"

"Yes, as far as the old man knows, there is a Cha family in the hermit family, and Cha Qiong and they seem to have something to do with this Cha family!"

"The disciple will be cautious!" Although Lin Xu was confident, he was not arrogant, judging from Ren Zizai's fear of the hidden family, these people were probably extremely difficult to mess with.

"By the way, the disciple has one more thing he wants to ask Elder Ren. ”

Ren Zizai remembered the last time Lin Xu asked him who he was going to send to Yan Dan, and he was secretly vigilant in his heart, "Just ask, but Elder Ben has the right to remain silent!"

Lin Xu knew that he had misunderstood, and secretly said that this old man had a lot of thoughts, "In the Middle Continent, above the traditional seven major forces, there is also a behemoth like the Zixia Holy Land. So in southern Xinjiang, is there such a giant force?"

"I didn't expect you to ask such a question!" Ren Zizai glanced at Lin Xu deeply, "As you expected, there was indeed a mysterious force that once appeared, and its strength was definitely above the five major forces in Southern Xinjiang. ”

"Where is this mysterious force now?"

Ren Zizai shook his head and sighed lightly, "No one knows where this mysterious force is! About a few hundred years ago, they suddenly disappeared, and there has been no news since. There are countless versions of the whereabouts of this mysterious force, but none of them can be trusted in the old man's opinion. The only thing that is certain is that their legacy is still alive. ”

"Why are you so sure?"

"Under the leadership of the Zixia Holy Land, the righteous faction has almost crushed the evil faction over the years, but why don't they dare to cross the thunder pond by half a step and invade the land of my southern frontier?" Ren Zizai asked rhetorically.

Lin Xu suddenly realized, "Are you saying that what the Zixia Holy Land is afraid of is this mysterious force?"

Ren Zizi smiled, "Can you find a more reasonable explanation besides?"

Lin Xu nodded thoughtfully, Ren Zizi's analysis was not unreasonable, but he always felt that things were not so simple.

If this mysterious force can pose a threat to the Zixia Holy Land, it is definitely a behemoth, how can it be so completely hidden? This is a bit unreasonable. Moreover, since there is a heritage, then there are always people and places to inherit it, right? But why has no one known about it for hundreds of years? This seems a little unreasonable. Besides, what is the purpose of their inheritance? it won't be like the Guardian Dao, even Lin Xu himself doesn't believe this.

Walking out of the Alchemy Hall, Lin Xu's mood was a little heavy, and he faintly felt that there was an invisible big hand behind the Southern Xinjiang forces, which was imperceptibly affecting the overall situation. And these forces on the surface are just chess pieces, including the Shadow Pavilion and himself.

This feeling of fate in the hands of others made Lin Xu very uncomfortable, "As long as they come into contact with the core of the secret, I don't believe they won't jump out!"

"I've seen Senior Brother Mu!"

"Wow, he's the one who defeated Cha Haiming, the first person in the inner courtyard, with one punch?"

"Cut, Senior Brother Mu is deeply hidden, this is the real first person in the inner courtyard!"

"Hello Senior Brother Mu!"

Lin Xu walked all the way, and there were inner disciples everywhere who stepped forward to salute and greet him, which was unimaginable before. Lin Xu smiled and returned the salute one by one very politely, which made all the disciples admire in their hearts, this is the demeanor that the first person in the inner courtyard should have!

Finally returned to the Youyue Cave, Lin Xu was already a little dry and physically and mentally exhausted, and it seemed that socializing was really not an easy task. It's no wonder that those in power all look cold, and I'm afraid there is no lack of reasons for this.

Lin Xu couldn't be so unkind, so he had to secretly resolve to try to go out and move around as much as possible in the future, at least to avoid the sections of the road that the disciples often frequented.

Zong Lao and Xiaoxue still didn't move, thinking that they were still busy refining the three-eyed monster fish. Lin Xu is very much looking forward to it, what kind of surprise will they bring to themselves after they leave the customs?

Sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, Lin Xu activated the 'Creation Lingyan' and began a new round of retreat and cultivation. His cultivation is already at the peak of the ninth stage of the Great Spirit Master Realm, and this time he strives to break the barrier to the Spirit King Realm in one go!
