Chapter 994: Bad News
Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 inforeadx;? didn't rescue his daughter, how could the eldest grandson Huaizhong just leave, and Shangguan Xiu's attitude was also very resolute, as long as Lingxiao Palace refused to defect, he would never release the eldest grandson Feifeng, both sides refused to give in, and there was a stalemate.
However, the changes that happened on the stage stopped the melee under the stage, and hundreds of Jianghu people gathered together, surrounded by a sea of people, but their attention was not on each other, but they looked at the high platform in unison.
Seeing that Shangguan Xiu and the eldest grandson Huaizhong were unwilling to make concessions, Zhang Chong thought for a while and said: "It's better for everyone to take a step back, Prince Qi will temporarily revoke the Lingxiao order and return to Lingxiao Palace, and His Royal Highness Guogong can temporarily detain the county lord of Feifeng, ensure that the county lord's life will not be harmed, but also ensure the safety of the county lord, I don't know what the two of them want,"
Thinking about it carefully, the method proposed by Zhang Chong was also an expedient measure to alleviate the conflict, Shangguan Xiu and Eldest Sun Huaizhong glanced at each other, the former shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since Elder Zhang intercedes, I can spare the Feifeng County Lord for the time being,"
In fact, he never planned to really behead the eldest grandson Feifeng, but just used her as a bait to lure the people of Lingxiao Palace to save her.
Hearing that Shangguan Xiu would not execute his daughter, the eldest grandson Huaizhong's tense nerves were finally relaxed, he pondered for a moment, raised his eyes to look at Shangguan Xiu, and said in a condensed voice: "I believe that His Royal Highness the dignified Guogong will not rebel in public,"
Shangguan Xiu sneered and said, "The person who can make me go back on his word must at least have a considerable weight," the implication is that the Lingxiao Palace is not worthy of letting him break his word,
The eldest grandson Huaizhong's face was ugly, he glared at Shangguan Xiu angrily for a long time, took a deep breath, and said to Zhang Chong: "This king, obey Elder Zhang's arrangement,"
A fierce battle, under the mediation of Zhang Chong, was finally resolved, but the two sides have fought so far, and more than 3,000 people have been killed and wounded.
Among them, there are more than 1,000 casualties in the Jianghu people, and there are more than 1,000 casualties in the wind army, it seems that the number of casualties on both sides is about the same, but most of the casualties on the side of the wind army are ordinary soldiers, and the casualties on the side of the Jianghu people are all outstanding spiritual cultivators.
Under the order of the eldest grandson Huaizhong, the people of the rivers and lakes withdrew from Qingcheng one after another, and before leaving, the eldest grandson Huaizhong proposed to see the eldest grandson Feifeng, but was rejected by Shangguan Xiu, he wanted to see his daughter, of course, but the premise is that he needs to make a guarantee that from now on, there will be no more Jianghu people in Ningnan in Mingshui County,
How could the eldest grandson Huaizhong make such a guarantee, after the evacuation of Lingxiao Palace, most of the Jianghu people gathered in Mingshui County will naturally follow them to evacuate, but it is inevitable that some Jianghu people will not leave, and they have made up their minds to serve the country loyally and fight to the death with the Feng Army, how can he forcibly order them to leave,
Shangguan Xiu, this person, has always refused to suffer, if you want to take advantage of his hands, you have to pay the benefits he wants, in the end, the eldest grandson Huaizhong also failed to see the eldest grandson Feifeng, and left Qingcheng with anger, and in the past few days, the tense atmosphere that permeated Qingcheng's head has finally been relieved.
After all the people in the rivers and lakes withdrew, Shangguan Xiu invited Zhang Chong to the inn where he stayed, he could guess that Zhang Chong came to Ningnan this time, definitely not to prevent him from designing to encircle and suppress Lingxiao Palace, a Jianghu sect is not enough to alarm the dignified elder, he must have other priorities,
Sure enough, Shangguan Xiu guessed correctly, and after the two sat down, as soon as Zhang Chong spoke, Shangguan Xiu's head buzzed,
"Elder Lin is dead,"
"What," Shangguan Xiu's hand holding the teacup shook suddenly, and a lot of tea in the cup spilled, Wu Yufei, who was standing next to him, hurriedly stepped forward, took the teacup, took out the handkerchief, and wiped the water stains on Shangguan Xiu's hands, "Elder Lin, Elder Lin Zhun Lin,"
"Yes," Zhang Chong lowered his eyes, his eyes flowed gloomily, and he nodded slightly,
How is this possible, what kind of person is Lin Zhun, the Great Elder of Shenchi, how could he die, Shangguan Xiu looked at Zhang Chong blankly, and after a while, he asked, "Elder Lin has turned into a feather and soared,"
"No," if it is the Transformation Feather Ascension, then it is not called death, but it should be called stepping through the void and entering the 'true' realm of Lingwu, "Elder Lin was killed,"
Shangguan Xiu's face was expressionless, but on his forehead, there was a layer of sweat stains, how high Lin Zhun's cultivation was, Shangguan Xiu couldn't judge, but he was sure that Lin Zhun's cultivation was by no means under Pei Ying, he was a spiritual cultivator who was above the Spirit Returning Realm, and it was very likely that he had reached the Spirit Flying Ascension Realm, such a Spirit Martial Sect Master, who could kill him,
I don't know how long it took for Shangguan Xiu to find his voice, he clenched his fists and asked, "Elder Lin was plotted by someone,"
Zhang Chong shook his head slowly, whether he was plotted or not, he couldn't judge from the wounds on Lin Zhun's body alone, he said: "Elder Lin has two fatal wounds on his body, one in his neck and one in his heart,"
"......" Shangguan Xiu didn't answer, and he didn't know what to answer.
"The weirdest thing is that Elder Lin's blood seems to have been sucked dry,"
"......" Shangguan Xiu held back for a long time and asked, "There is a spiritual martial force in the world that sucks up human blood,"
Zhang Chong was silent for a moment and said: "Maybe there is, maybe not, Lingwu is broad and profound, no matter how strange the skill is, it may exist, but it may not be known to us,"
After a pause, he said again: "As far as I know, the Venerable Xuanling Palace Zhan Xuan, the weapon he uses is called the Blood-Drinking Sword, this sword is bloodthirsty, once it is injured by the Blood-Drinking Sword, the human blood will be sucked by the sword,"
Shangguan Xiu's eyes flashed, and he asked in surprise, "What does Elder Zhang mean is that Elder Lin is very likely to have died at the hands of Zhan Xuan,"
Zhang Chong nodded and said, "In the whole world, there are not many people who can beat Elder Lin, and the situation of blood being sucked dry is even rarer, and these two points, Zhan Yu all meets,"
Zhan Xuan's cultivation has reached the ninth level of the Spirit Ascension Realm, and he is a spiritual cultivator who is about to break through to the Spirit Immortal Realm, although Lin Zhun's cultivation has also reached the Spirit Flying Ascension Realm, but he is at the fifth level.
After the spiritual martial arts have cultivated to the spiritual realm, every time they advance, it is a rebirth, which is very difficult, and after cultivating to the spiritual blood leaving the realm, it is another watershed, even if the two spiritual cultivators are in the same cultivation realm, but the level is different, even if it is only one level apart, there will be a big gap between the two.
Lin Zhun cultivated to the fifth level of the Spirit Flying Ascension Realm, and Zhan Yu cultivated to the ninth level of the Spirit Flying Ascension Realm, both of which were Spirit Flying Ascension Realms, but because of the difference of four levels, the final result was that Lin Zhun died.
Dadada,
The room fell into silence, Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei who were present were sweating like rain, and they didn't dare to breathe, only the sound of Shangguan Xiu's fingers knocking on the table was left in the room, no wonder Zhang Chonghui suddenly came to Ningnan, it turned out that Lin Zhun was killed,
"Where did Elder Lin die?"
"Mingshui-gun,"
"In this way, Elder Lin was killed as soon as he left our army's camp,"
"Elder Lin's body was found in Tiger Mountain, which is not close to the camp,"
"Elder Lin died in Mingshui County, that means ...... It shows that Zhan Miao is now in Mingshui County," Shangguan Xiu's words made Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei's bodies both shocked, and they gasped,
Spiritual cultivators of the level of Lin Zhun and Zhan Miao are like god-like beings to the two of them.
Don't look at how easy it is for them to encircle and suppress the people in the Lingxiao Palace and the rivers and lakes, but if they really encounter a cultivator of this level of Zhan Xiang, I am afraid that someone can kill them with a finger.
"So, that's why we came to Myeongshui-gun,"
Not ignoring that he used 'we' instead of 'I', Shangguan Xiu's heart moved, and asked, "Elder Huang, Elder Wei, and Elder Gu have also arrived in Mingshui County," The three people he asked were the three great elders Huang Zun, Wei Jue, and Gu Ling'er,
Zhang Chong didn't hide it, nodded and said, "Yes, the three of them are also in Mingshui County now, searching for the whereabouts of the murderer,"
Whether Lin Zhun was killed by Zhan Xiang or not, they are still uncertain, so Zhang Chong can only say that the real murderer is the murderer, but he is not sure that it is Zhan Xiang.
Hearing that Huang Zun, Wei Jue, and Gu Linger are now in Mingshui County, Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei have the illusion that they are alive again, and the pressure to suffocate people to death has also decreased sharply.
The two glanced at each other, raised their arms in unison, and wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads with their cuffs.
The four Great Elders are all in Mingshui County, even if the three Venerables of Xuanling Palace are all here, they are not afraid.
Although Shangguan Xiu was also relieved, his fear of Zhan Xiang was far less deep than that of Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei, after all, he had defeated Pei Ying, who was the same Venerable as Zhan Xiang, and he was defeated by his own true ability, even if he was against Shang Zhan Xiang, he was not sure of winning, but he also had the strength to fight with him.
He noticed that Zhang Chong was using the word murderer, and he asked, "Elder Zhang is still not sure that Zhan Yu is the real murderer,"
Zhang Chong said quietly: "This matter is strange, since the establishment of the Xuanling Palace, there has never been a head-on conflict with the Divine Pool, for hundreds of years, there has been no incident, if Elder Lin was really killed by Zhan Xuan, it is equivalent to the Xuanling Palace's declaration of war on the Divine Pool, the Xuanling Palace does not seem to have such strength now,"
"If Xuanling Palace doesn't want to clash head-on with Shenchi, then Zhan Miao really has no reason to kill Elder Lin like this, and besides, he also let Elder Lin die under the blood-drinking sword, is it because he is afraid that others will not know that the real murderer is him?"
Shangguan Xiu's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said, "Pei Ying is dead,"
Zhang Chong was taken aback and looked at Shangguan Xiu in surprise,
Sure enough, looking at his expression, Shangguan Xiu judged that Lin Zhun had not brought the news of Pei Ying's killing back to Shenchi, and Zhang Chong didn't know about it, Shangguan Xiu immediately told Zhang Chong about the causes and consequences of his war with Pei Ying.
In the end, he said: "If Zhan Ying really came to Mingshui County, it would not be surprising, he must have come to investigate who killed Pei Ying, think about it, in the hearts of the people of Xuanling Palace, I, a hairy boy, will not be able to kill Pei Ying no matter what, the reason why Pei Ying will die must be that there must be a top-level master who secretly helps me, and in this kind of psychology, Zhan Xiang happened to see Elder Lin leave our army camp, what would he think?"
Zhang Chong continued: "Zhan Miao must think that the person who defeated Pei Ying and finally killed Pei Ying was not His Highness, but Elder Lin,"
"The four Venerables of Xuanling Palace, in fact, the four disciples of Guangxuan Ling sat down back then, they are the same as Huandou, cultivating the Spirit Devouring Skill, for hundreds of years, they have been constantly looking for a suitable body, immortal, the relationship between them is probably better than that of siblings, after learning the so-called 'truth', Zhan Miao lost his mind and recklessly looked for Elder Lin desperately, which is understandable,"
