Chapter 68: Late Night
He Dejiang's face showed a look of panic, flashed to He Zhiruo's side, and asked urgently, "Zhiruo, how are you?"
He Zhiruo had a wound on his left arm, his expression was panicked, his eyes showed fear, and he said in a trembling voice: "Dad, it's the Immortal Gate, they sneak attacked halfway." Senior brother, senior brother, they are all dead. ”
When He Dejiang heard this, his expression became extremely solemn, and he called his subordinates to comfort his frightened daughter, turned his eyes to Zheng Renli, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
Zheng Renli changed his timid and fearful appearance in the past, and saluted: "Zheng Renli, a disciple of the Imperial Sword Sect, see He Zhang. ”
"Are you from the Imperial Sword Sect?" He Dejiang was a little surprised.
Zheng Renli nodded and said, "My master received an invitation from Master He, and was going to come over in person to discuss with you about forming an alliance to deal with the Immortal Sect, but I didn't expect that on the eve of departure, the sect was attacked, and the master was busy dealing with the aftermath and couldn't get away, so in desperation, he sent me to explain the situation to you and apologize." ”
"Regarding the alliance, Master said, he agreed with the suggestion of the head of He, and when the sect is stable, he will raise a faction to join the alliance. ”
Before He Dejiang could speak, the people of the surrounding sects began to become agitated, Zheng Renli's words revealed two important information, one is that the Crazy Sword Sect and the Imperial Sword Sect are ready to form an alliance, the three major sects in the wilderness, the Immortal Sect is rising with an unstoppable attitude, and the other two sects forming an alliance will definitely have a great impact on the situation in the wilderness. The other is that the Imperial Sword Sect was attacked, and no matter what you ask, the only one who can attack the Imperial Sword Sect is the Immortal Gate.
For the latter, some people still couldn't believe it, and asked loudly: "It's the Immortal Sect that attacked the Imperial Sword Sect?"
Zheng Renli had a long wound on each of his chest and back, and the bleeding had stopped, and he looked shocking. I only heard him reply: "The leader is the Immortal Gate, but it is not my wilderness people who do it. ”
"What do you mean by that, is it the Immortal Gate?" someone complained.
Zheng Renli smiled slightly, did not speak, and someone scolded: "You have a pig's head on your neck, you don't think about it, he means that the Immortal Gate has colluded with forces outside the wilderness." Is he doing this to dominate the wilderness?"
This man's last sentence immediately aroused the hatred of all sects. In the hearts of the Wilderness people, the fighting and killing between the various sects in the wilderness is nothing, and even when the Immortal Sect annexed several sects, some people don't think so, after all, it is an internal dispute in the wilderness. If you attract external forces, in their opinion, the nature is completely different.
It's like a family with a lot of brothers and sisters, and everyone will not really take it to heart when they quarrel and fight on weekdays, and if they call someone outside to beat up their own people, it will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of other brothers and sisters.
Is the wilderness a big family? Certainly not, in fact, the wilderness is an open existence that does not restrict people from coming and going. However, people's feelings are often so complicated, people who have lived in the wilderness for a long time will unconsciously regard the wilderness as an independent and closed place in their hearts, this sense of identity is strange, but it does exist.
At this point, without He Dejiang saying anything more, Liu Xia can be sure that this alliance agitation conference has come to a perfect end because of the appearance of He Zhiruo and Zheng Renli.
Even if one suspects that the timing of their appearance is too coincidental, there will be no other choice. Liu Xia didn't think that the skeptical small sect would have the courage to swim against the current and choose not to form an alliance, unless they didn't want to stay in the wilderness in the future.
The general trend is irreversible, and this is exactly the truth! Let your heart be higher than the sky, and your wisdom is deeper than the sea, in the face of the general trend, you can only sigh wordlessly!
But Liu Xia did not give up looking for the existence of this sect, and the person behind him led himself here to witness this alliance conference, thinking that he wanted to participate in it. Since there was no other choice, Liu Xia still wanted to find a sect with smart people to join.
In this alliance conference, those who can receive the invitation of the Crazy Sword Sect must not be too weak, in this way, after these people join, they will have more opportunities to get close to He Dejiang and Zheng Renli.
He Dejiang understood the principle of taking advantage of the trend, and did not play a similar trick of asking for three resignations, and went directly to the important link of the alliance meeting -- signing a blood document.
Whispering to Fang Yimei and the others to find a sect that they didn't participate in, Liu Xia dragged Buddha Ye to his side and said with a smile: "Can you see Zheng Renli's Yuan Li?"
Buddha Ye glanced at Zheng Renli and said, "Bai Yuanli, like most cultivators, is nothing special. ”
"What about the cultivation level?"
"A mid-level product!"
Liu Xia looked at Zheng Renli, who was staying with He Zhiruo, and thought to himself that his previous judgment was correct, but he always had a feeling that Zheng Renli couldn't see through.
Now there are only two people who have caught Liu Xia's attention, one is He Dejiang, and the other is Zheng Renli.
Judging from He Dejiang's performance tonight, this person is either a person with a true temperament, or a person who is very deep in the city government, especially after He Zhiruo and Zheng Renli appeared, which added to Liu Xia's vigilance.
If Zheng Renli hadn't been pestering him before, Liu Xia wouldn't have paid too much attention to him. Since Zheng Renli has the means to get close to He Zhiruo, he shouldn't be entangled in Liu Xia, the matter of throwing the note can be turned over, anyway, Liu Xia will not go to He Zhiruo, which will affect his pursuit of He Zhiruo. From this point of view, Zheng Renli's previous entanglement seems completely unnecessary.
A person who has been pestering himself, in such a big place in the wilderness, on such a night, actually came together again, Liu Xia couldn't help but doubt it.
But Liu Xia couldn't figure out Zheng Renli's purpose in doing this, was it just to attract his attention and suspicion, and then induce himself to investigate him?
Lele is missing, I don't know who is behind the scenes, there are two monks of Guifo Temple with unknown purposes, one large and one small, and now he is involved in the struggle of the wilderness sect, and he has to beware of the extremely mysterious Zheng Renli.
Thinking of this, Liu Xia suddenly had a headache, he faintly felt that Lele's disappearance was far from being as simple as he thought, and it was the hand of the Liang family or Jishensi.
Liu Xia moved his gaze elsewhere and quietly released Yuan Li, covering the place where Zheng Renli and He Zhiruo were, and the conversation between the two of them clearly came into his ears.
He Zhiruo asked, "Why did you lie to me before? Not to mention that you are a disciple of the Imperial Sword Sect." ”
Zheng Renli explained: "You also saw what happened tonight, if I hadn't concealed my identity, I am afraid that I would have been killed halfway, and I would not appear in front of you at all." ”
"You mean, you brought in the people from the Immortal Sect tonight, and Senior Brother also died because of you. He Zhiruo was very angry.
Zheng Renli said gloomily: "You can say that, because I can only be sure that the Immortal Sect has attacked the Imperial Sword Sect, and I can't be sure that the Immortal Sect is dealing with the Crazy Sword Sect at the same time, so I have no way to refute what you said." ”
He Zhiruo was about to blame Zheng Renli, but when she saw the wound on his chest to save herself, she couldn't say anything to blame.
At this moment, Zheng Renli's gaze swept over Liu Xia, Liu Xia just turned his head, and the eyes of the two met in mid-air.
Liu Xia smiled slightly, which was regarded as a greeting. Unexpectedly, Zheng Renli responded with a smile, contrary to the attitude of looking for someone to carry the black pot in front of the restaurant.
Subsequently, the two of them shifted their gaze at the same time, and Liu Xia also took back Yuan Li.
Fang Yimei and the others returned to him one after another, saying that they had not found such a sect.
The ceremony of signing the blood book was about to end, only to hear He Dejiang say loudly: "The sect that signed the blood book tonight will be the backbone of the anti-immortal sect alliance in the future, and each sect has the power to nominate the elders of the alliance." ”
After a slight pause, He Dejiang continued: "However, the Immortal Sect is powerful, and our strength alone is not enough to compete with it. Therefore, in the next three days, I will continue to recruit the Wilderness Sect to join Yangquan Town, and I also ask you to spread the news after you go back, please. ”
When He Dejiang finally spoke, Liu Xia and the others had already quietly left.
