Tianren Temple, in the study of Elder Hongfu.

"Elder Xue, please be seated. ”

Elder Hong Fu raised his right arm with a smile, and a yellow barrier appeared above the three of them, separating the outside world.

"It's safer this way, Elder Xue, don't blame it. Elder Hong Fu smiled and sat down.

Xue Chen smiled faintly, and then asked, "Elder Hong, take the liberty of saying it, I always feel that there seems to be something abnormal in your Heavenly Temple, is something wrong?"

Hong Fu sighed and said, "Hey, the master is unlucky." ”

∴≧wan∴≧shu∴≧ba，⊙ansh◇uba.“ Oh, isn't there a rebellion in the Heavenly Man Temple now?" Xue Chen frowned and said with a little worry.

"Three years ago, Senior Brother Hong Qiang, the head of the sect, practiced in retreat, and after months of hard cultivation, he finally succeeded in cultivating the first layer of the only top-grade low-grade martial arts in my Tianren Temple, and his strength was rapidly improved to a two-star Spirit Monarch!" Speaking of this, Hong Fu's eyes clearly revealed an excitement that could not be concealed.

However, in the following month, Senior Brother Hong Qiang retreated again, but this time not only failed to break through to the second layer, but instead went mad and died in the secret room. Hong Fu flicked the sleeves of his robe and said unwillingly.

At this time, Xue Chen finally sensed the problem, a super strong person of a two-star Spirit Monarch, even if he went mad during the retreat and cultivation, he should have a way to save himself. What's more, when it comes to the point of a two-star Spirit Monarch, how can it be possible to go mad?

There must be a problem!

Elder Hong Fu didn't notice Xue Chen's reaction and continued, "Since Senior Brother Sect Master retreats for at least half a year at a time, we didn't pay much attention to it. It wasn't until later that a burst of golden light came out of the secret room, and the senior brother in charge had no way to contact him, so we forcibly broke through the secret room and went in to check, who knew that after entering, we found five golden relics!"

"What, relics!"

Xue Chen stood up violently and was stunned for a moment.

The relics, the essence produced after the death of a monk who attained the Tao, are the most direct embodiment of a monk's cultivation of the Tao. Legend has it that after the death of Shakyamuni, the ancestor of the monk's sect, he left behind 84,000 relics of his true body, and countless disciples worshiped them as holy relics. Among the 84,000 True Body Relics, there are the eight largest bone relics, which were equally divided among the eight disciples and brought back to their own countries to cultivate the relics stupa for future generations to observe.

Since the death of Shakyamuni, although there are still relics in the Lingwu Continent, it has always been one. However, Master Hong Qiang of Tianren Temple appeared five in a row, which shows the high level of Taoism.

"Outsiders only know that the relics are extremely hard, but they don't know the huge aura contained in the relics, and if others absorb them, their strength will skyrocket. Elder Hongfu's eyes were closed as he spoke, as if he was trying to remember something.

"Could it be...... The relics of Hong Qiang's head were ...... "Xue Chen was completely stunned, if the expectation is good, something must have happened to this relic!"

Hearing this, Elder Hongfu slowly opened his eyes and said, "Elder Xue's expectation is good, only one of the five relics remained, and the other four were all missing. Even the only one that was left was forcibly sucked away by the aura. In the end, the originally solid relics were only left with a shell the size of a stone. Alas......"

"Didn't those four be stolen?" Xue Chen said with a frown.

Elder Hong Fu's fists clenched tightly and he didn't say a word. After a long time, he said: "That one was absorbed by the current head Hong Lin and the Hong Ming you saw just now, and the other four were also missing. However, by my reasoning, those four may also have something to do with the two of them. ”

"They must have done it!" Xue Chen said with a look of resentment.

Xue Chen vaguely remembered that when Chang Yan'er drove him out of Taoyuan Village, he had said that the heads of the other four major sects had already led the other sects of Fenglin Kingdom to demonstrate, and maybe they would fight. Chang Yan'er rescued herself several times, and married her beloved disciple Song Qianqian to herself. But because his strength was too weak, he could only escape the catastrophe and let Chang Yan'er and Song Qianqian and other women bear it, which made Xue Chen feel extremely guilty.

"Don't worry, Taoyuan Village is still alive and has not been destroyed. Elder Hongfu seemed to see Xue Chen's thoughts, and suddenly said.

Xue Chen's eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly asked, "Is it really fake?" Elder Hong, you must not fool me!"

Elder Hong Fu said with a smile: "Your Taoyuan Village seems to have an extremely powerful formation, as long as this formation is not broken, Taoyuan Village is safe." ”

"Taoyuan Gate Divine Array ......," Xue Chen muttered.

Elder Hongfu nodded slightly: "Yes, it is this formation. This Taoyuan Gate Divine Array is the Great Sect Protector Array of Taoyuan Village, how can it be broken lightly. So this catastrophe in Taoyuan Village will be safely passed, so you don't have to worry too much. ”

"In that case, then I'm relieved. It's just Elder Hong, since Hong Lin, the current head of your Heavenly Man Temple, went to my Taoyuan Village to find trouble with my head of the sect, then your disciples of the Heavenly Man Temple ...... me," Xue Chen said with a little worry.

Elder Hongfu smiled and said, "It's not in the way, as long as I don't say that you are a disciple of Taoyuan Village." To be honest, I have always felt that there is something strange about the death of the senior brother in charge, and I have always suspected that it was the senior brother in charge who was killed by Hong Lin and Hong Ming in conjunction with outsiders, but unfortunately there is no evidence. And now that Hong Lin and Hong Ming have been jointly suppressing me, there are many fewer people on my side than before. If it weren't for their concern about my status as an elder, I'm afraid I'd be dead by now. ”

"Elder Hong, does your identity as an elder of the Heavenly Man Temple still have any life-saving effect?" or ......" Xue Chen asked with confusion.

Elder Hongfu sat down slowly, took out a wooden black token from his arms, wrote the word elder on it, and said with a wry smile: "This token is held by the elder of our Heavenly Temple, there are a total of six pieces, each with different permissions. The election and abolition of elders in the Tianren Temple is carried out with the joint support of sixty percent of the disciples. They haven't touched me so far, because of the permission of my token. ”

"What permission?" Xue Chen suddenly had a hint of interest.

"The Tianzi Army has the absolute right to deploy. As soon as he said the three words of the Tianzi Army, Elder Hong Fu suddenly came to his senses, and his face was full of confidence.

"What's that?" Xue Chen asked.

Master Hongfu smiled and said, "The Tianzi Army is the smallest number of people in my Tianren Temple, but it is also the strongest army. Every monk in this army is a strong general, and all of them know at least one kind of mastery in the Celestial Temple. In terms of lethality alone, it can completely crush any army of any Nine Red Kingdoms. The most important thing is that the two leaders of the Tianzi Army are my people. ”

"No wonder they don't dare to touch you, Elder Hong, chess is high!" Xue Chen gave a thumbs up and smiled at Hong Fu.

Seeing this, Hong Fu pulled Xue Chen's hand down, and said with a wry smile: "Since Senior Brother Hong Qiang died, Hong Lin and Hong Ming have been targeting me everywhere, and even the expenses allowed by the elders to celebrate my life have been reduced by half every year. The original scene of full guests at the birthday banquet has also become much more deserted because of the rule that the elders are only allowed to invite two people to congratulate them on their birthdays. ”

"Elder Hong Fu, in this way, I don't think tonight's birthday banquet will be very peaceful. Xue Chen frowned and said with a little uneasiness.

"Don't worry, the Tianzi Army has long been secretly on standby. If they dare to come here tonight, I won't let them have a good time!" Elder Hong Fu slammed the table and stood up, and an irresistible and powerful force suddenly appeared.
