Chapter 348: A Precursor to a Crisis

"Elder Wu, I'm going to disappoint you this time."

Hu Cheng smiled and took out the Xuanling Grass, and the rich spiritual power fluctuations immediately flooded into the crowded Wanzhen Pavilion.

"This is Xuanling Grass, and there are so many of them."

Looking at the grass on the table, Wu Lao's face showed a look of shock, he didn't expect that the team of these three people would complete such a difficult task.

Wu Lao's unbelievable words immediately made everyone present dumbfounded, no one expected that the three young people in front of him would complete such a difficult task.

The task of Xuanling Grass has been placed there for a long time, and no one has completed him for a long time, but now that it has been completed by a team of monks who have just formed, the shock in his heart is even more awe-inspiring.

All of a sudden, everyone speculated about the identity of Yunfeng and his party.

Many people think that they are not some powerful person who came out to experience.

"Elder Wu, Elder Wu."

Hu Cheng smiled and patted the counter.

"Boy, okay."

Wu Lao's face was full of joy, and his big hand kept brushing over those Xuanling grasses, and the ecstasy on his face was even worse.

"Elder Wu, when will our reward be given to us?" "Sun Shengwu" rushed out from the side, preferring golden coins to Wu Lao's praise.

"Boy, can't you just say a few nice things to my old fellow?"

Hearing the words of "Sun Shengwu", Wu Lao said angrily.

"Old man, isn't your beard growing back these days?"

Sun Shengwu stroked his chin, a wicked smile on his face.

"Well, this is yours, take it."

Obviously, the old man was still very jealous of "Sun Shengwu's" words, and seemed to remember the scene when his beard was plucked out a few days ago.

"So we'll quit first."

Hu Cheng said with a smile.

Looking at the figure that disappeared at the door, Wu Lao's eyes flashed with a look of relief.

He casually took out a piece of jade pendant, and then an invisible wave spread wildly outward at a fairly fast speed.

"Hehe, we're rich, we're rich."

Seeing those spirit stones on the table, Sun Xiangwen was a little incoherent.

"Brother, brother, pay attention to quality,"

"Sun Shengwu," said vigorously shaking Sun Xiangwen's sleeve.

Seeing this, Hu Cheng also smiled.

"Brother... Brother, now you go out and buy some good things, today we are going to get drunk."

Sun Xiangwen's reluctant gaze finally took away from those spirit stones, and then said to "Sun Shengwu".

"Hmph, it's me every time."

"Sun Shengwu" took the gold coin, said a few words of dissatisfaction and turned to leave.

After the three of them ate and drank nonsense, they fell asleep deeply, and several people were tired in the past few days.

But when he woke up, Hu Cheng had to face a problem again, the time to make an appointment with Zheng Jiulan was about to come, and he now had to rush back immediately to prepare for this battle.

"Hu Daoyou, what did you say? You're leaving?"

As soon as they heard the news that Hu Cheng was leaving, Sun Xiangwen and the others were very puzzled.

The three of them also got along very well during this period of time, and there was nothing unpleasant, they couldn't understand why Hu Cheng left suddenly.

"Yes, the time I agreed with someone else is coming, and I can't miss it."

Hu Cheng said with a smile.

"And when are you coming back?"

"Sun Shengwu" asked.

"It's hard to say."

Hu Cheng is not sure.

In fact, Hu Cheng himself didn't know when he would be able to come back, after all, Zheng Jiulan was the most powerful opponent he had ever encountered, and he couldn't be sloppy.

If he and Zheng Jiulan fight to the death, they will be seriously injured if they don't do well

The price, the devil knows how long the healing will be.

"Then what are you doing in the Nine Xuanmen?"

"Sun Shengwu" said with concern, and there seemed to be a trace of crystal in his eyes.

"I have a fight with someone else."

Hu Cheng said directly, if he didn't tell the truth this time, he would definitely not be able to leave.

"Fight, we can help you."

Sun Xiangwen said loudly, he is a warmonger.

"This is a matter between me and Zheng Jiulan, and no one else can interfere."

Hu Cheng said seriously.

"That's right." Sun Xiangwen's face obviously showed a look of loneliness, and he seemed to regret that he couldn't fight with Hu Cheng.

"After all this time, shouldn't you tell us who you really are?"

"Sun Shengwu" said that she had been suspicious of Hu Cheng's identity all along.

"Okay, I'll tell you about me today."

Hu Cheng said.

Listening to Hu Cheng's words, the two brothers and sisters' eyes widened, and they didn't expect that Hu Cheng would be a monk of the Nine Xuanmen, and because of the master, he also had some more seniority.

"No, you have a good status in Jiuxuanmen, and you still want to fight with others, is there something wrong with your brain?"

After listening to Hu Cheng's narration, "Sun Shengwu" said something that made Hu Cheng almost crazy.

"Isn't this young and young?"

Hu Cheng also felt very embarrassed and said with some embarrassment.

"Cut, despise you."

"Sun Shengwu" said with a look of disdain.

"Then Hu Daoyou, do you plan to go back to Jiuxuanmen when the time comes?"

Sun Xiangwen asked, now he likes this brother of his.

"Tomorrow, it will take about seven or eight days to go back from here, and the remaining days will be a good rest and ready to fight."

Hu Cheng thought for a moment before replying.

"Okay, tomorrow will be tomorrow, and tonight will be practiced for you."

Sun Xiangwen said with a smile.

In this way, Hu Cheng and Sun Xiangwen talked for a day, laughing and tearing up, and everything was silent.

"Sun Daoyou, I'm leaving, I'll rush back as soon as possible."

Early in the morning, Hu Cheng got up and said goodbye to Sun Xiangwen and the two brothers.

"Hu Daoyou, you must win against that guy who is Zheng."

Sun Xiangwen smiled and patted Hu Cheng's shoulder and said.

"Hmph."

"Sun Shengwu" still owed him something, and snorted dissatisfiedly.

"Haha, I'll work hard to defeat Zheng Jiulan, then two, farewell."

Hu Cheng bowed his hand slightly and then turned to leave.

"Okay, let's go back, Hu Daoyou said that he would come back, he would definitely come back, we have to believe him."

Sun Xiangwen patted "Sun Shengwu" on the shoulder and explained.

"Brother!"

Seeing Hu Cheng's disappearing back, "Sun Shengwu" lay on Sun Xiangwen's shoulder and sobbed.

After some time.

The breeze gusted, the clear blue sky drifted through the clouds from time to time, and Hu Cheng's figure slowly rose above the clouds.

"If this continues, it is estimated that I will return to the Nine Xuanmen in two days."

Glancing at the location on the map, Hu Cheng muttered to himself.

The time for Jiuxuanmen is getting closer and closer, and Hu Cheng's heart is becoming more and more worried.

This time when I went back, I not only had to face Zheng Jiulan, but the most headache for Hu Cheng was Xu Xiaorong, I didn't know how to face her now, but with Zheng Jiulan's appointment, Hu Cheng had to go back.

"Let's take one step at a time, I really can't run this time."

Hu Cheng muttered in a low voice, if he wanted to run, no one should be able to stop him except for those hateful old guys in the sect.

Thought of this

, The hidden worry in Hu Cheng's heart suddenly disappeared, and Hu Chengyi marched towards the direction of Jiuxuanmen in a high spirit.

Not long ago, the entire Nine Xuanmen was filled with this strange atmosphere, full of depression, but before Hu Cheng returned to the Nine Xuanmen, that feeling of depression was dispelled by the words of several elders of the Nine Xuanmen.

Before, no one thought that Hu Cheng could be Zheng Jiulan's opponent, but in the previous battle, Hu Cheng's strong performance shocked all the monks of the Nine Xuanmen.

Some of the Nine Xuanmen monks are talking about this matter, and there is also a place where the Nine Xuanmen monks are even more so, where the bureau is opened.

Half a year ago, it was certain that everyone would bet on Zheng Jiulan to win, but Hu Cheng's shocking performance half a month ago made many people doubtful.

No one knows exactly how this game will be won.

But the most resolute person in this is Xu Xiaorong, this time she staked all her net worth, and she firmly believes that Hu Cheng will not let him down this time.

"Hehe, I really didn't expect me to come back."

Seeing the familiar scene in front of him, Hu Cheng really wanted to yell, "I, Hu Cheng, are back again."

"How are the two senior brothers doing during this time?"

Hu Cheng smiled and watched the two people guarding the door come forward to say hello.

"Well, it's Senior Brother Hu, you're back."

The two people in front of the door were obviously a little surprised by Hu Cheng's sudden arrival, and they were still discussing the oppressive atmosphere of Jiuxuanmen just now.

"Huh."

Hu Cheng also heard the discussion between the two just now, and walked in with a slight smile.

"Senior Brother Hu is a little proud, alas, but this is normal, of course, it will be more normal if Senior Brother Hu loses to Senior Brother Zheng."

Seeing Hu Cheng's body shaking step by step, the monk who guarded the door whispered.

"Don't forget, Gu Changci was given high hopes by us before, but he was not defeated by Hu Cheng."

The other gatekeeper, Jiuxuanmen, immediately reminded.

"Fart, Senior Brother Feng is also comparable to Gu Changci?"

"You just fart, this time I bought half of the spirit stones for Hu Chengsheng, and the other half for Senior Brother Feng, why can't I lose this time."

While the two Nine Xuanmen monks continued to argue, Hu Cheng had already arrived at the residence of his master, Xu Jinchao.

"Knock knock, knock knock, in vain Hu Cheng begging to see."

Hu Cheng knocked on the door of the courtyard.

"Come back and come in quickly."

Hu Cheng's familiar voice came from the courtyard gate.

"Squeak."

Hu Cheng pushed the door in, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw his master standing with his hands in his hands, looking at him with a smile.

"Poof."

"Master, how are you doing lately?"

Hu Cheng asked respectfully.

"It's still the same, idle, busy."

Xu Jinchao said with a smile.

For a period of time, Xu Jinchao has been worried about the situation of his apprentice all the time, although he seems to be okay on the surface, but he is very anxious in his heart.

In an incense pavilion, Xu Xiaorong's delicate face showed a happy smile, because someone informed him just now that Hu Cheng was back.

"Shouldn't you go see Wan'er?"

The master and apprentice talked, and Xu Jinchao said to Hu Cheng with a smile.

"Ah, Master, this isn't very good."

Hu Cheng looked embarrassed, he went to Xu Xiaorong so blatantly, others would gossip.

"Hehe, stinky boy, the whole sect knows about the matter between you, are you still afraid of this?"

Xu Jinchao slapped Hu Cheng with a smile.

"Ahh

Hu Cheng's brain had a temporary short circuit, and he didn't understand the meaning of Master's words.

"The kid and the master are still sloppy, aren't they?"

Xu Jinchao's eyes also became mysterious at this moment.

"No, Master, the more I listen, the more confused I become."

Hu Cheng said even more confusedly.

"You don't know?"

Xu Jinchao asked suspiciously.

"What's the matter?"

Hu Cheng was now eager to know why Master would say that.

"Boy, you have to treat her well in the future, this little girl has a deep affection for you."

Xu Jinchao said meaningfully.

"What the hell is going on, Master, tell me about it?"

Hu Cheng was now desperate to know what was going on.

"Well, listen to me slowly."

Xu Jinchao sorted out his emotions and told what happened a few days ago.

It turned out that there might be something big going on in the Nine Xuanmen.

"Hurry up, boy, I guess Rong'er is waiting for you."

Xu Jinchao said with a smile.

"Oh, I see."

Hu Cheng also wants to see Xu Xiaorong now.

As for the major events that might happen in the Nine Xuanmen, it didn't attract much attention from Hu Cheng, after all, the Nine Xuanmen is a large immortal gate, how could there be a guy who couldn't think about it, and then came to the Nine Xuanmen to make trouble?

"Silly boy, I really don't know where you came from?"

Seeing Hu Cheng's disappearing back, Xu Jinchao scolded with a smile.

He knew that this time his granddaughter Xu Xiaorong had completely fallen.

"Rong'er, is this girl stupid, I don't know why she did this?"

Along the way, Hu Cheng didn't pay attention to the pointing and pointing of others, and his head was full of what Xu Jinchao had just said.

"Hu Cheng, Hu Cheng, you have gone out of shit luck in your life."

Thinking that he seems to have something to do with many people now, Hu Cheng's head is big for a while.

"Squeak."

Hu Cheng pushed open the door of the Xiang Pavilion.

Familiar scenes, familiar fragrances, different moods.

"Who?"

With a coquettish shout, Xu Xiaorong's shadow appeared not far from Hu Cheng.

Xu Xiaorong is now a lot thinner than before, but her eyes are now full of joy.

"You're back."

Xu Xiaorong said, and then two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks.

"Don't cry, what do you say?"

Hu Cheng suddenly felt a big head, what he was most afraid of was the girl's crying.

"You bastard, you bastard."

Xu Xiaorong threw herself into Hu Cheng's arms, and her pink fist kept slapping Hu Cheng.

She does get a little haggard these days.

"Can you stop crying yet?"

Hu Cheng was overwhelmed by Xu Xiaorong's crying.

When it comes to treating girls, Hu Cheng is indeed an idiot.

"Hu Cheng, you give me an honest explanation, why haven't you even heard from you for so long?"

Xu Xiaorong raised her head and said with teary eyes.

"Isn't there no acquaintance outside of me, otherwise I would have someone bring the news back."

Hu Cheng replied with flaws.

The last time he sneaked out, there must have been a lot of people worried about him at that time.

"Lie, I don't believe you don't have a sound transmission jade pendant on you!"

Xu Xiaorong said coquettishly.

"Rong'er, listen to my explanation, I really don't have that kind of sound transmission jade pendant."

"Really?"

"It's more real than pearls."

"And what have you been doing all this time?"

After hearing Hu Cheng's serious answer, Xu Xiaorong had no choice but to take the initiative to change the topic and ask with concern, she was worried about him every day these days.

"I didn't do anything, I just stayed outside for a while."

Hu Cheng didn't seem to tell Xu Xiaorong about his experience during this period of time, if she cried Hu Cheng again, there would be no way.

"Hmph, what are you hesitating about? Hurry up and explain!"

Xu Xiaorong grabbed Hu Cheng's clothes and said viciously.

"Hurry up and let go, I said I can't do it?"

Hu Cheng hurriedly said.

Xu Xiaorong seemed to realize that she seemed to have gone too far, and let go of Hu Cheng's clothes according to her words, but a pair of beautiful eyes stared at Hu Cheng for fear that if she didn't pay attention, Hu Cheng might sneak out again.

"Tell me, what have you been doing all this time?"

Xu Xiaorong stared at Hu Cheng and said.

"I went on a trip to Sanbao and Qigu, and I went to meet my friends, and I encountered some minor troubles during the process, but I still managed to solve those troubles.

Then I formed a three-person monk team with other monks in a certain town to complete the tasks sent out by the monk organization to earn spirit stones and so on, and that's how this time passed."

Hu Cheng briefly talked about his experience in the past few days.

"Oh, Monk Squad, isn't that fun? Can you take me there?"

Xu Xiaorong was also a restless master, and her eyes lit up as soon as she heard about the monk team.

"Don't go to this one, that thing is dangerous."

Hu Cheng hurriedly explained.

"I don't care, why can you do it, I can't?"

At this time, Xu Xiaorong began to cheat.

Encountering this situation, Hu Cheng had no choice but to agree first, but he was brewing in his heart to escape for the second time, and this time he would definitely not be discovered by others.

After the explanation, after Hu Cheng agreed to Xu Xiaorong's many unequal agreements, Hu Cheng was let back by Xu Xiaorong.

"It seems that I have to prepare for this time, and I don't know how Zheng Jiulan is doing now."

Hu Cheng, who was sitting on the edge of the bed in his room, couldn't help but think.

These days, Hu Cheng often thinks of that domineering figure.

"This time I'm going to make you pay for the pride of the day."

Clenching his fists slightly, two rays of light burst out of Hu Cheng's eyes.

In a dark courtyard, a white-robed monk stood with his hands in his hands, quietly listening to the report of his subordinates.

He is the Zheng Jiulan that Hu Cheng will fight next.

"So, Hu Cheng's kid is back."

Turning his head slowly, Zheng Jiulan's face had a slight smile.

"Yes,"

It was Gu Changci who answered Zheng Jiulan, he was defeated by Hu Cheng not long ago, and he has suffered from the white eyes and criticism of others for a period of time, which made his hatred for Hu Cheng even stronger.

"Senior Brother Zheng, this time I have to teach him a good lesson, this time my entire net worth is pressed on you."

The other person said that it was Bai Qizheng, who opened the bureau before.

"Hehe, Bai Qizheng is still worried about me?"

Zheng Jiulan said with a smile, but her face revealed a look of ruthlessness and confidence.

"Hehe, I'm not worried, of course I believe Senior Brother Zheng's words."

Bai Qizheng scratched his head embarrassedly and said.

"Okay, with Senior Brother Zheng's words, you can just go back and wait to get rich."

Gu Changci patted Bai Qizheng's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Two senior brothers, I'll leave first while you chat."

Bai Qizheng got up and said goodbye.

"Senior Brother Zheng, isn't this guy a little too much?"

After Bai Qizheng left, Gu Changci said to Zheng Jiulan.

"Hehe, how could I not understand what he meant, this time I'm going to show them the difference between strong and weak."

Having said this, a powerful momentum erupted from Zheng Jiulan's body.

That powerful momentum directly made Gu Changci take a few steps back.

"Senior brother has such a strong strength, there will definitely be nothing wrong this time."

Gu Changci's face was overjoyed, and he seemed to be able to see Hu Cheng's extremely unwilling and painful expression after being defeated by Zheng Jiulan.

"This time, I'm going to let Xiaorong see who is the most suitable person for her."

Then Gu Changci said in a low voice.

The midday sun shines warmly on people's faces.

On this day, the monks who secretly opened a bureau in the entire Xuanmen released a word, betting on Hu Cheng to win one loss of ten.

"Hehe, this group of guys seems to have quite a lot of confidence in Zheng Jiulan."

Hu Cheng, who heard the news, shook his head secretly, this time he was worth twice as much.

According to Hu Cheng's thoughts, it is estimated that many unpredictable people are now betting on Zheng Jiulan to win.

"Looks like someone is going to break the bank this time."

casually took out his only belongings, Hu Cheng muttered.

This time, he was ready to let Xu Xiaorong bet for him.

The betting situation is surprisingly consistent with that day when Hu Cheng and Gu Changci made an appointment, except for Xu Xiaorong betting on Hu Cheng to win, there is no one else.

"Hu Cheng, do you have any thoughts on the next battle?"

In the hall, Xu Jinchao looked at Hu Cheng with a smile and said.

"Hehe, don't worry, Master, I'm not comfortable, so don't think about Zheng Jiulan."

Hu Cheng replied with a casual shrug.

"Why is the kid going to surprise Master again this time?"

Xu Jinchao said with a smile, the last time Hu Cheng performed a move, Xu Jinchao was really shocked.

Xu Jinchao now also wanted to know what amazing spells Hu Cheng could use this time.

"Hehe, Master, you just have to wait and see."

A mysterious smile appeared on Hu Cheng's face, this time he was going to play big.

"Master, I'm going to go into retreat for a few days so that I can digest the experience I've gained since I was out of practice."

Hu Cheng said seriously.

During this time outside, Hu Cheng has also experienced a lot of battles, and he has not digested it well.

"It's okay, you can stay in my courtyard these days, and I won't let anyone disturb you."

Xu Jinchao smiled and patted Hu Cheng's shoulder, a look of relief flashed on his face.

To have a good apprentice like Hu Cheng is probably the proudest thing in his life.

However, when Xu Jinchao thought of the strange atmosphere of the Nine Xuanmen recently, his face couldn't help but sink.
