Chapter Forty-Six: What Is the Picture?

Master Obscurity nodded and said, "What Your Excellency said is good. We put so much effort into it, and of course there was a purpose. However, you can rest assured, our purpose is not to target any of you, we will not do you any harm, and we are not here for the sake of this seventh-level Earth Walking Dragon. Our purpose is to ......"

"Wait a minute. Zhou Ziheng suddenly interrupted Master Obscure, "Let me guess." ”

Master Obscure immediately fell silent.

Zhou Ziheng frowned and glanced inside the cave, "Your purpose must be in this cave." Isn't that right?"

Master Obscurity nodded.

Zhou Ziheng continued: "Since your purpose is not to walk the dragon on the earth. And you don't have the strength to hunt the Earth Walking Dragon, which means that the Earth Walking Dragon is an obstacle to your goal, right?"

Master Obscurity was secretly frightened, he originally wanted to use the Earth Walking Dragon as a bargaining chip, after all, they found out the map and gave it to Zhou Ziheng, which made it easier for him to find the Earth Walking Dragon. But now, Zhou Ziheng is quietly, taking the hunt and killing of the earth dragon as removing an obstacle for them, and when it comes to calculating the account, they owe Zhou Ziheng an account.

There are many people who understand the meaning of Zhou Ziheng's words.

Guo Ding's color changed, and just as he was about to speak, Master Hao Zhi immediately grabbed him.

Zhou Ziheng glanced at Guo Ding.

Guo Ding was swept by his calm eyes like water, trembling like falling into an ice cave, and immediately fell silent.

Wang Xiaotian saw these situations in his eyes, and suddenly sighed. The gap between the ranks is there, the dragon has to be coiled, the tiger has to lie down, and no matter how big the temper is, it has to be endured.

Guo Ding is a ready-made example. No matter how crazy he is, in front of Zhou Ziheng, who is one level higher than him, he is like an angry little daughter-in-law, swallowing his anger, shrinking his hands and feet, and not daring to be presumptuous. In order not to bow down to people you don't like in the future, you must become stronger!

Zhou Ziheng looked at the surrounding mountain walls and continued: "In addition to the Earth Walking Dragon, these mountain walls are here. ”

He walked to the mirror-like mountain wall, patted the mountain wall and said, "This mountain wall is too strange, is this your purpose?"

As he spoke, he stared sharply at Master Obscure.

Master Hao felt that under Zhou Ziheng's gaze, he seemed to be standing naked in the sun, and all his secrets were nowhere to hide.

He suddenly trembled slightly, and said, "Don't dare to hide your Excellency, our purpose is indeed this mountain wall." ”

"What's behind this mountain wall?" Zhou Ziheng still looked at him sharply, maintaining a full sense of oppression.

"This ......" Master Obscure wanted to speak and stopped, refusing to continue. Originally, he wanted to take the initiative to confess a little bit of information and fool the past. But unexpectedly, Zhou Ziheng directly pointed out the key, and it was difficult for him to fool him no matter how much he wanted to.

But if he tells the truth, the stakes are huge, and he can't afford to take responsibility. So I won't go on.

Zhou Ziheng looked at Master Hao and was silent.

There was a sudden silence on the field.

After a while, Shen Shuming suddenly flicked the blade of the knife, making a crisp sound of "......", breaking the silence.

Under the gaze of everyone, Shen Shuming said with an unhappy face: "Isn't it to play us as monkeys? Lao Tzu has been unhappy with you for a long time." Let's not talk nonsense with them, overturn them, catch this old guy as a living mouth, torture him in eight ways, why can't he ask?"

Wang Xiaotian was immediately embarrassed. Immediately, he understood that Shen Shuming was singing blackface and deliberately stirring up trouble.

Guo Ding was furious. There is a huge level gap between him and Zhou Ziheng, but there is not much gap between him and Shen Shuming, and he has the strength to fight.

So, he stepped forward and shouted, "Let the horse come!"

Shen Shuming glanced at it contemptuously, "The sixth-level beginner Force Master dares to speak out against him, Lao Tzu wants to teach you a lesson today." ”

As he spoke, he raised his war knife and locked on Guo Ding with a wisp of murderous intent . Then, the war knife erupted with an incomparably dazzling sword light, slashing towards Guo Ding.

Guo Ding was inspired by the killing machine with infinite battle intent, and immediately sat on the horse, bent his legs and kicked violently, and instantly burst out, like a lion pounced on an antelope, quickly avoiding the blade, and pounced on Shen Shuming.

Shen Shu shouted, "Good coming", immediately flipped his wrist, waved his war knife and drew an arc, slashing at Guo Ding's abdomen from bottom to top.

Guo Ding swung his left palm, slapped away the sword, and grabbed Shen Shuming's chest with his right hand. Shen Shuming snorted coldly, clenched his left fist and punched out.

There was a muffled sound of "bang", the fists collided, and Guo Ding's huge body took three steps back.

Shen Shuming took a step back.

The strength of both sides is decided.

However, Guo Ding has a pair of silver gloves on his hands, and Shen Shuming only has a pair of anti-slip and anti-cutting tactical gloves on his hands.

Guo Ding let out a lion-like roar, rubbed his body and pounced again, his left hand down, his right hand up, and grabbed Shen Shuming's chest and abdomen one after another.

Shen Shuming knew that he was wearing silver gloves on his hands and was not afraid of swords, so the war knife changed the knife posture of chopping and slashing just now, and opened and closed widely, but adopted a small kung fu based on pointing, wiping, picking, and stabbing, and the sharp blade did not leave Guo Ding's chest and abdomen, throat, armpits, face and other vital parts.

Guo Ding has silver gloves in his hands, not afraid of blades, no matter how delicate and exquisite Shen Shuming's knife skills are, they are all soldiers to block, water to cover the earth, and slap it away with one palm.

For a while, the two fought in one place, and the fight was inseparable, and it was very lively, but no one could help anyone.

Wang Xiaotian saw that Shen Shuming, who was tall and tall, was holding a war knife, but like Wu Ling'er with a dagger, pointing, wiping, picking, and stabbing each other in close combat, and the moves could not leave Guo Ding's vital point, and he suddenly felt a sense of disobedience.

This kind of small kung fu, if it is performed by a beautiful woman, is absolutely pleasing to the eye.

However, Shen Shuming, a 1.9-meter-tall man, uses such kung fu to be like a bear dancing ballet, which is unbearable.

However, although Shen Shuming's movement form is a little ugly, one move and one style are very practical. Wang Xiaotian looked at it for a while, and then he was fascinated, completely ignoring how awkward Shen Shuming's posture was when he used these moves.

Shen Shuming and Guo Ding, after more than 50 moves, Guo Ding gradually became overwhelmed. His body has been modified to have one-tenth of the genes of a male lion.

The fighting style is also similar to that of the lion, and he is good at stormy onslaught, but not good at protracted combat. If you can't win within a hundred moves, the Force will not be strong, and the defeat will be obvious.

Shen Shuming is different. He was born in the army, and almost all of his kung fu was fought with a knife and a shot on the battlefield. Experienced and tenacious. Seeing that Guo Dingyi was in decline, he immediately stepped up his attack.

Seeing this, Master Hao Zhi was afraid that Guo Ding would have an accident, so he hurriedly stopped him, "Stay together!"

When Guo Ding heard this, he immediately borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and jumped out of the battle circle.

Shen Shuming also stopped and did not catch up. His purpose was to kill the sharp spirit of the Purification Sect, so as to gain some bargaining chips for Zhou Ziheng. Now the purpose has been achieved. If he is unforgiving and continues to pursue, it will lead to a scuffle.

Although he, Zhou Ziheng, and Wu Ling'er are not afraid of group battles, Wang Xiaotian and Cao Lianyou's force is low, and it will be dangerous once they fall into a melee.

Especially Cao Lianyou, if something happens to her, won't she give up her efforts?

Therefore, when they discovered the people of the Purification Sect, Zhou Ziheng, Shen Shuming, and Wu Ling'er had already tacitly exchanged the present and determined the strategy for dealing with the Purification Sect - try to fight for interests, focus on deterrence, and prepare for not fighting.

In order to achieve this goal, on the one hand, Zhou Ziheng wanted to maintain the suppression of the Purification Sect, but he could not make a move. Because, in a vicious battle between him and the Earth Walking Dragon just now, the Force consumed a lot, and it took time to recover, and he was also injured on his body, but he was suppressed by his own Force, and it couldn't be seen on the surface.

On the other hand, they also have to show a certain degree of aggression, otherwise the people of the Purification Sect will be suspicious, feeling that they have a fierce battle with the Earth Xinglong, which is already the end of the crossbow, in this way, the people of the Purification Sect will definitely be unwilling, and listen to Zhou Ziheng's mercy, and they will definitely test the provocation and touch their own bottoms.

Therefore, instead of being tempted and provoked by the people of the Purification Sect, it is better to take the initiative to stand up and provoke trouble. This person who came out to stir up trouble and showed aggression is commonly known as "black face", and this role can only be played by Shen Shuming.

Wait for Shen Shuming to retreat to Wu Ling'er's side and redeploy the defense. Zhou Ziheng looked at Master Hao and asked slowly, "What's behind the mountain wall?"

Master Obscure's face was very entangled. Say, it violates the canons, don't say it, the two sides can't talk, and there will be a big war.

With their strength, it remains to be said whether the task can be completed. Even if he can take advantage of it this time, he can't help Zhou Ziheng.

Previously, Master Hao Zhi had inquired in many ways about Zhou Ziheng's details, but he didn't find out. However, he knows very well that Zhou Ziheng must be a great person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone through all the twists and turns, but he couldn't figure out Zhou Ziheng's details.

If the two sides start fighting, with the combat power of Zhou Ziheng's seventh-level Force Master, if he leaves those two children and wants to run, no one can stop them.

What's more, the other two people are not vegetarians either. The three of them worked together, and they purified the sect, and even if they won, it would be a miserable victory. In this way, the two sides also formed a mortal enmity.

offended Zhou Ziheng, a very powerful person, in the future, the Purification Sect will be outside, and he will inevitably be liquidated.

It can be said that if you fight, you will lose both, and the gains outweigh the losses.

If they bumped into each other, it would be easy to catch the little girl. It's a pity, it's a pity I didn't catch her.

After struggling for a moment, Master Obscure gritted his teeth and looked back, "Except for a few hall masters, everyone else went out. ”

The members of the Purification Sect immediately rushed out. In an instant, in the huge cave, only Wang Xiaotian and the five of them remained, as well as the four hall masters of the Purification Sect.

Master Obscurity raised his hand to lay down the soundproof barrier and said, "This matter is related to the top secret of my sect. To put it mildly, even about the secrets of humanity as a whole. Please also ask your Excellency to keep it confidential for me, and I will thank you again in the future. ”

Zhou Ziheng was even more curious in his heart, and nodded: "The hat of the entire human race is too big, I can't afford it." But as long as what you do doesn't harm our interests, why should I meddle?"

"With Your Excellency's words, I am relieved. It's a long story about this cave. Only our sect has been passed down like this for a long time, as early as the old era, it was already a very influential great sect with members all over the world, and it can know these secrets. ”

"In the last decade or so of the old era, the flames of war burned all over the world, and many people of insight feared that the world would inevitably go to ruin. In order to preserve the fire of civilization, there are also for the reproduction of family bloodlines, and the forces of all parties have spent a lot of money to build many buildings around the world to avoid war. ”

"In the historical books, some call it the Land of Hope, some call it, Doomsday Fortress and so on. My religion calls it a shelter. Some of these shelters were built by the government, some by large corporations, some by large families, and many of them were built by my church. ”

"Regardless of who built them, however, these shelters were highly classified at the time. Because once the news spreads, it will cause panic and confusion among the masses. ”

"Because the explosion of the new era came very suddenly, some people who knew the secrets of the shelters suddenly died in the explosion, resulting in many of these shelters, which did not have time to play a role, and then fell silent in the long river of history. ”

"In these sanctuaries, there are the crystallization and spark of human civilization, the wealth and treasures left by the ancestors, and they should not be buried. After the new era, because the inheritance of the religion was not broken, the information of the shelters was retained, and in order to bring these treasures back to the light, some shelters were opened one after another, from which some knowledge, technology, materials, and equipment from the old era were obtained. ”

Zhou Ziheng interrupted him and said, "Wait a minute. I know about surveying the ruins and acquiring the knowledge, technology, and material equipment of the old era. The state has special research institutes that are doing this work. But why, I've never heard that your Purification Sect is also doing these things?"
