Chapter 181: Defense
Chapter 181
Yan Xu and the others, including Xiao Zhan, were all taken away and imprisoned in the water prison of the Qingtian Sect.
And in this process, Xiao Zhan didn't say a word, not even the slightest change in mood.
It's just that no one noticed that the Red Dragon Sword and the Aohan Sword behind Xiao Zhan had been hidden by him in a hidden corner of the house.
That's what he dug up and hid when he lived here.
The water prison is built in a hollow mountain.
Xiao Zhan and the others were locked in cages one by one, and the waterfalls that flowed down around them constantly hit the cages, bringing great pain.
But Yan Xu and the others, but none of them screamed.
On the contrary, they were unusually calm, still discussing the possibility of escaping.
Xiao Zhan closed his eyes the whole time, and his head was naturally thinking about how to solve this situation.
Yan Xu looked at Xiao Zhan who was locked in the cage next to him, and said with a smile:
"Senior Brother Xiao, your appearance is exactly the same as that of Yin He, the young sect master of the Famous Sword Sect."
"So, you have to be sure that you are Yin He."
"In this case, the Qingtian Sect will definitely use you to negotiate terms with the Famous Sword Sect, and the Famous Sword Sect will definitely try its best to exchange your safety."
"But if you tell your true identity, then you have no value and will die a miserable death."
Xiao Zhan sneered:
"Yan Xu, if we were friends, I would praise you for being amazing."
"Unfortunately we're not."
"And you're going to die, I'...... Will live. ”
As he spoke, a middle-aged man in a golden robe walked in with a cold-faced woman dressed in plain clothes.
They stood on the shore and looked at Yan Xu and the others in the waterhole with expressionless faces.
The person who came was none other than Zhuang Busheng, the sect leader of the Qingtian Sect, and his only daughter, Zhuang Mochou.
Zhuang Busheng is obviously two hundred years old, but he looks like a middle-aged man, and Zhuang Mochou is the same, a person in his fifties, who looks only in his twenties.
But her cold and calm eyes have a special charm, and her graceful body is hidden in the robe, still looking tall and graceful.
Especially when Zhuang Mochou looked at Xiao Zhan and the others, he didn't have any emotion.
Zhuang Busheng raised his hand, and the waterfall that flowed straight down actually stopped.
He stepped on the surface of the water, walked step by step to the iron cage, and with a movement of his fingers, countless black bones emerged from the pool.
"In just one month, you'll be like that."
Zhuang Busheng's voice was cold to the extreme.
Yan Xu and the others couldn't bear the pressure, and blood instantly appeared from their mouths and noses.
After speaking, Zhuang Busheng turned around and was about to leave, without any intention of interrogating at all.
And Zhuang Mochou, who had been standing on the shore, looked at Xiao Zhan, lightly opened his lips, and said:
"Tell me who you are."
Before Xiao Zhan could answer, the extremely weak Yan Xu roared angrily:
"He is the sect master of our Famous Sword Sect, Yin Shiming's only grandson, Yin He!"
"If you dare to hurt him, my Sword Sect will definitely destroy your Heavenly Sect!"
"Really?" Zhuang Mochou moved the lotus step lightly, stepped on the water, and did not make the slightest ripple.
And everyone also felt the momentum on Zhuang Mochou's body.
This woman actually ...... It's actually a powerhouse of the Heavenly Realm!
You must know that Yan Xu is the peak of the Danhu Realm, and there are two great realms of the Danhai Realm and the Guiyuan Realm behind it, and then the Tongtian Realm.
The Phantom Sword Sect actually sent them to kill a powerhouse of the Heavenly Realm!
This assassination mission was doomed to fail from the beginning, because the Phantom Sword Sect was arranged undercover in the Qingtian Sect, and it did not probe Zhuang Mochou's true realm at all!
"Answer my question," Zhuang Mochou stood in front of Xiao Zhan's iron cage, looking at Xiao Zhan condescendingly, like a goddess high above.
Xiao Zhan chuckled:
"Senior, can you let me out and talk? I don't like the feeling of being looked down on. ”
Zhuang Mochou's voice still didn't carry any emotion, "What if you don't like it, can dislike change your fate?" ”
"You know, there are few people in this world who can not be looked down upon."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Let me out." ”
Zhuang Mochou waved his hand, and the iron cage that trapped Xiao Zhan rose from the waterhole.
It wasn't until Xiao Zhan's gaze was level with that the iron cage stopped.
Xiao Zhan smiled and said:
"Senior Mochou, who do you think I am?"
Zhuang Mochou shook his head, "I don't know, so, you say." ”
Zhuang Busheng also stood beside Zhuang Mochou, looking at Xiao Zhan as if he was looking at an ant.
Yan Xu, who was in the cage next to him, widened his eyes and shouted, "Zhuang Mochou, I said, he is the young sect master of our famous Sword Sect!" We're here to kill you this time! ”
Zhuang Mochou ignored Yan Xu, and with a movement of his fingers, the dark green pool of water flowed down Yan Xu's body, instantly sealing his mouth.
Xiao Zhan slowly said at this time:
"Senior Zhuang is right, I am not the Young Sect Master of the Famous Sword Sect, and they are not from the Famous Sword Sect."
Zhuang Busheng frowned, "Then you should tell me, who are you and who are they?" ”
Xiao Zhan nodded and said:
"They are disciples of the Illusory Sword Sect."
"And I, just a nobody, was forcibly caught by them and asked me to pretend to be the young sect master of the Famous Sword Sect."
Zhuang Busheng sneered, "The Phantom Sword Sect is really a good one. ”
"The entire Qingzhou thought that the Phantom Sword Sect would help the Famous Sword Sect and start a war against my Qingtian Sect together."
"But I didn't expect that the Phantom Sword Sect wanted to reap the benefits of the fisherman."
"If I'm not mistaken, the real Yin He should be in the hands of the Phantom Sword Sect, right?"
Xiao Zhan nodded, "That's right. ”
"In this way, you are very innocent," Zhuang Busheng nodded, "It's a pity, you have seen my daughter and know her true strength, so you still have to die." ”
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "I won't die." ”
Zhuang Busheng seemed to have heard a big joke and sneered:
"I let you die, how can you not die?"
Xiao Zhan didn't have any fear on his face, looked directly into Zhuang Mochou's eyes, and said slowly:
"Because you will let me continue to pretend to be the Young Sect Master of the Famous Sword Sect."
"Oh?" Zhuang Busheng's face was expressionless, "Then tell me, why would I let you continue to pretend?" ”
Xiao Zhan nodded and said:
"The Phantom Sword Sect failed to assassinate Zhuang Mochou's predecessors, and it will definitely not let the real Yin He return to the Famous Sword Sect, so the Phantom Sword Sect will definitely kill the real Yin He."
"Sect Master Zhuang, you will send someone to send me back to the Famous Sword Sect, and let me tell Yin Shiming that it was the Phantom Sword Sect that used me to stimulate the conflict between the Qingtian Sect and the Famous Sword Sect, and it was the Qingtian Sect that saved me."
"In this way, the relationship between the Famous Sword Sect and the Qingtian Sect can be eased, and the contradiction between the Famous Sword Sect and the Phantom Sword Sect will be stimulated."
"The Qingtian Sect has changed from a dangerous situation of one enemy to a third party who sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight."
"Well," Zhuang Busheng's eyes flashed with appreciation, "Boy, although your strength is weak, your brain is good." ”
Zhuang Busheng laughed, turned around and left the water prison.
Zhuang Mochou stood in front of the iron cage and did not move.
She looked at Xiao Zhan's eyes and said for a long time:
"You're lying."
Xiao Zhan's expression was natural, and he asked with a smile, "Where are you lying?" ”
"Your identity, and your strength," Zhuang Mochou said slowly as he turned around and walked towards the shore:
"Although the power in your body is blocked, I can feel it."
"You're not an ordinary person."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Who do Zhuang seniors think, who am I?" ”
"It's not important," Zhuang Mochou slowly walked towards the entrance of the water prison, and said casually: "Because your fate is already doomed, whether you are sent to the Famous Sword Sect or not, you will die." ”
Zhuang Mochou stopped at the exit and turned to look at Xiao Zhan in the iron cage.
"You're smart, but not smart enough."
"The Phantom Sword Sect is not as simple as you think, when they plan to assassinate me, they will definitely consider the possibility of failure."
"Therefore, if they arrest Yin He, they will definitely not reveal the identity of the Phantom Sword Sect, and they will definitely make Yin He think that it is our Qingtian Sect that has captured him."
"Then the Phantom Sword Sect will create the illusion of rescuing Yin He and send Yin He back to the Famous Sword Sect."
"After all, the Phantom Sword Sect and the Famous Sword Sect have a close relationship, and rescuing Yin He is a matter of course."
"Then, the Phantom Sword Sect and the Famous Sword Sect will attack our Qingtian Sect together."
"Therefore, the plan to send someone to assassinate me, whether it succeeds or fails, the Phantom Sword Sect is the winner."
Xiao Zhan asked rhetorically as usual:
"Then how does the Heavenly Sect plan to break the game?"
Zhuang Mochou shook his head slowly:
"Any plan, in the face of absolute strength, is vulnerable."
"The battle between the sects is the top combat power."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "That's the truth." ”
"So, if I'm not mistaken, Senior Zhuang didn't come back from Zhongzhou alone this time."
"Behind you, there are top powerhouses!"
Zhuang Mochou didn't answer, and walked towards the exit.
She has a lot to say today.
Even she wondered in her heart, why did she have the same dying person, so much nonsense?
Xiao Zhan suddenly spoke:
"Senior Zhuang, the sentence you gave me just now, I will give it to you as it is."
"You're smart, but you're not smart enough, you've seen it well, but you're not smart enough."
Zhuang Mochou paused, and his figure appeared on the edge of the waterhole in a flash, looking at Xiao Zhan expressionlessly, and a trace of curiosity appeared in his cold and indifferent eyes:
"Then you go on."
Xiao Zhan glanced at the chains that locked his hands and feet, "Senior, help me loosen it, it's uncomfortable to talk like this." ”
Zhuang Mochou waved his hand, and the chains and iron cages that bound Xiao Zhan shattered instantly.
Xiao Zhan walked out of the cage, walked to the shore step by step, and then ran the True Yuan, instantly drying the water droplets on his body.
Then Xiao Zhan looked at Zhuang Mochou in front of him and said:
"Senior, you are right, in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is useless."
"Therefore, the Famous Sword Sect and the Illusory Sword Sect will definitely consider the consequences of defeat."
"Behind them, there must be other strong people, or other large forces!"
Zhuang Mochou looked up at Xiao Zhan slightly, his brows furrowed slightly, "What about the evidence?" ”
"I don't have any evidence, but I know that they will definitely not take risks," Xiao Zhan shook his head, "The game between the big forces is not just a fight." ”
"Even if there is no evidence to prove that there are still strong people behind the Phantom Sword Sect and the Famous Sword Sect, then will the Heavenly Sect dare to attack them? Are you sure you'll be able to win? ”
Zhuang Mochou's brows furrowed a little deeper, "So what?" ”
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "So, this battle can't be fought at all at the moment!" ”
"Everything that the Heavenly Sect, the Phantom Sword Sect, and the Famous Sword Sect have done is just to sow the seeds of hatred, and at the same time delay time and accumulate strength."
"That's why at the beginning, I said, send me to the Famous Sword Sect, I will continue to pretend to be Yin He, and at the same time, you will find a way to catch the real Yin He and control him."
"When I go to the Famous Sword Sect like this, I will say that the Phantom Sword Sect wants to kill me to blame the Qingtian Sect, stimulate the grievances between the Phantom Sword Sect and the Famous Sword Sect, and completely break the alliance between them."
"At least it can make these two families suspicious."
Zhuang Mochou shook his head, "You're right, but I won't do it." ”
Xiao Zhan frowned, "Why?" ”
Zhuang Mochou turned around again, and said as he walked:
"I will send someone to capture Yin He from the Phantom Sword Sect."
"And then, that's the end of it."
"Xiao Wuming, stay in the Qingtian Sect," Zhuang Mochou paused again, looked back at Xiao Zhan and said, "In my opinion, sending you to the Famous Sword Sect and making the Famous Sword Sect and the Phantom Sword Sect have a disagreement does not have the long-term benefits of keeping you in the Qingtian Sect." ”
Zhuang Mochou said slowly: "If it weren't for your strength being too low, I would suggest that you serve as an inner door elder." ”
"Stay in the Qingtian Sect, give you the best treatment, let you improve your strength as soon as possible, I can persuade the sect master, when you reach the Danhai realm, I will charter you to serve as an inner sect elder."
Xiao Zhan frowned, Zhuang Mochou called himself Xiao Nameless, obviously because the Qingtian Sect had also placed an undercover agent in the Phantom Sword Sect.
Moreover, the intelligence work of the Qingtian Sect was obviously better than that of the Phantom Sword Sect.
Xiao Zhan frowned and asked, "Senior Zhuang, if I want to leave and not join the Qingtian Sect, what are the conditions?" ”
Zhuang Mochou shook his head, "There are no conditions, if you don't join the Qingtian Sect, you will never want to leave, or you will die." ”
At this time, Zhuang Mochou had already walked to the exit.
She looked at Xiao Zhan, and finally said:
"Like you, I don't like people looking down on me."
"The next time you see me, your eyes can't be higher than mine."
After speaking, Zhuang Mochou walked out of the cave.
Xiao Zhan stood on the edge of the waterhole, turned his head to look at Yan Xu and the others who were still trapped in the iron cage in the waterhole, and said expressionlessly:
"To be honest, I still admire you, especially you, Yan Xu."
"If you were my friend, I would be proud of you."
"But we have become enemies," Xiao Zhan shook his head and said with some emotion: "This world is like this, and some people are destined not to be friends." ”
"I can't save you."
Hearing Xiao Zhan's words, complicated emotions flashed in the eyes of Yan Xu and the others.
Xiao Zhan had already slowly walked towards the entrance of the cave at this time.
As soon as I walked out of the cave, I saw that the middle-aged woman who pretended to be Zhuang Mochou at the beginning was waiting.
Seeing Xiao Zhan come out, the middle-aged woman nodded, bowed to Xiao Zhan and said:
"Miss, please go to Hanging Sword Peak to stay."
Xiao Zhan thanked him and followed the middle-aged woman towards Hanging Sword Peak.
