Chapter 184

Zhuang Mochou got up and walked to the edge of the cliff, wearing a white dress that was swayed by the breeze, looking fairy.

"Some time ago, Wang Chongyang, the eighth elder of the inner gate, with a group of disciples, planned to go to Huangzhou, of course, he announced that he was going to Zhongzhou to carry out a mission."

"However, Wang Chongyang and that group of disciples have not been heard from so far, and most of them are dead."

"And Yan Long, the elder of the outer gate who is in charge of the management of the sea-crossing boat, said that Wang Chongyang and they have never been to the beach at all, and there are rumors on the rivers and lakes that it was the famous sword sect that sent people to attack and kill Wang Chongyang and that group of disciples."

"Now there are two possibilities."

Zhuang Mochou frowned slightly:

"The first possibility, Yan Long is not lying, and the rumors in the rivers and lakes are also true, it is the hand of the Famous Sword Sect."

Xiao Zhan frowned: "What about the second possibility?" ”

Zhuang Mochou's brows furrowed a little deeper:

"Wang Chongyang, they went to Huangzhou and died in Huangzhou."

"And Yan Long is lying."

Xiao Zhan asked, "What realm is that Wang Chongyang?" ”

Zhuang Mochou's face was cold, and he said, "Just like me, in the early stage of the Heavenly Realm. ”

Xiao Zhan suddenly chuckled:

"As we all know, there are no people in the barren state, but there are many fierce beasts."

"Could it be that Wang Chongyang was killed by the Heavenly Realm, or a more powerful beast?"

"A strong man in the Heavenly Realm, who died under the claws of a fierce beast, who believes this?"

"Besides, there is no wind and no waves."

"Since it is rumored that it is the hand of the Famous Sword Sect on the rivers and lakes, it is most likely that this is the case."

Zhuang Mochou looked at Xiao Zhan calmly.

Xiao Zhan was looked at a little unnaturally, "Senior Zhuang, why are you looking at me?" ”

Zhuang Mochou's eyes revealed a chill: "Don't you feel that your words are very perfunctory?" ”

Xiao Zhan's face sank:

"So what am I going to say?"

"Do you think the former speculation is possible?"

Zhuang Mochou was silent for a few seconds, and slowly told what happened in Huangzhou some time ago.

After finishing speaking, Zhuang Mochou looked at Xiao Zhan:

"Do you think that the remnants of the Wasteland really exist, or are those who are originally the famous Sword Sect?"

Xiao Zhan shook his head and said solemnly: "I still think that the possibility of the existence of remnants in the Wasteland is almost zero. ”

"The latter sounds reasonable."

Seeing Zhuang Mochou's eyes turn cold, Xiao Zhan continued:

"It's all unfounded speculation."

"Didn't you already bring Yan Long back to the Optimus Sect?"

"Let me see him, maybe I'll find some clues in him."

Zhuang Mochou nodded, "You go, Yan Long is under house arrest at Buddha Peak." ”

Xiao Zhan frowned slightly: "Senior Zhuang, aren't you going?" If you don't go, what if people don't let me see Yan Long? ”

Zhuang Mochou casually threw his identity card to Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan nodded, then walked down the mountain quickly, and rushed towards Buddha Peak again.

This time, Xiao Zhan swaggered closer, and was immediately discovered by the disciples of the Qingtian Sect stationed here.

They stopped Xiao Zhan and scolded sharply:

"Guard the land, the idlers retreat!"

Xiao Zhan took out his identity card from his waist and handed it to the young man at the head of the group to look at it.

"Elder of the Outer Gate, Xiao Wuming?" The young man frowned, and returned the identity card to Xiao Zhan, his eyes full of doubts.

In the history of the Optimus Heaven Sect, there had never been such a young Outer Sect Elder.

Judging by his age, he shouldn't be more than thirty years old, right?

"Elder Xiao," the leading young man clenched his fists and said in a deep voice;

"According to the regulations, no one below the inner gate elder is allowed to approach without permission."

Xiao Zhan nodded, then took out Zhuang Mochou's token and handed it to the young man.

The man's pupils shrank sharply, and he quickly stepped aside.

Xiao Zhan smiled and took back his identity card, said 'hard work', and then walked up to the Buddha Peak.

The next moment, a middle-aged man appeared in place, his whole body exuding the aura of the peak of the Danhai Realm.

The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Zhan's figure going up the mountain, frowned and asked:

"Who's that?"

The young man said truthfully:

"It's Miss Zhuang Mochou's cronies, named Xiao Wuming."

"He's Xiao Wuming," the middle-aged man nodded, "The newly promoted outer sect elder inside the door really only has the strength of the peak of the Qi Sea Realm." ”

"With such strength, you can actually become an elder of the outer gate, heh......"

The middle-aged man snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain.

"What qualifications does he have?!"

A cold voice came from the darkness not far away.

"What qualifications do you think he has? Just because I let him serve as an outer door elder, I also plan to wait for his strength to improve a little and let him become an inner door elder. ”

It was Zhuang Mochou who spoke.

She couldn't come, but it did.

Linghua followed behind Zhuang Mochou, looking at the middle-aged man coldly.

Zhuang Mochou glanced at this middle-aged man at the peak of the Danhai Realm, and said coldly:

"Do you have an opinion?"

"I didn't ...... No, I don't dare! The middle-aged man hurriedly bowed down, and cold sweat continued to break out all over his body.

Not to mention that this is the only daughter of the sect leader Zhuang Busheng, just because she is fifty years old and can reach the Tongtian Realm, that is the first day of the Qingtian Sect, and even the entire Qingzhou!

Zhuang Mochou glanced at the middle-aged man indifferently, "Take care of your mouth in the future, if you talk too much, you will die." ”

"Yes!" The middle-aged man trembled, and quickly bowed to the side.

Zhuang Mochou took Linghua and also walked towards the Buddha Peak.

From a distance, Buddha Peak looks like a Buddha with his hands folded, but in fact it is overgrown with wild grass and messy stone mounds everywhere.

Only at the top of the peak, there is a dilapidated stone house.

At this time, Yan Long was sitting cross-legged in front of the stone house, breathing, and the momentum emanating from his body had a vague tendency to break through to the middle stage of the Danhu Realm.

Xiao Zhan didn't bother, but waited beside him.

After a full hour passed, Yan Long slowly opened his eyes, and without looking at Xiao Zhan, he said with some displeasure:

"I've said it many times!"

"Wang Chongyang, the eighth elder of the inner gate, has never been to the beach at all, and has never looked for me at all!"

Xiao Zhan saw that Yan Long was fine, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground temporarily.

He spoke slowly:

"Elder Yan, let me introduce myself, I am the Outer Sect Elder who 'just joined' the Qingtian Sect, and my name is 'Xiao' Nameless!"

Hearing Xiao Zhan's voice, Yan Long's face changed.

He naturally understood the hint in Xiao Zhan's words.

He turned his head to look at Xiao Zhan who was approaching, and was about to speak, when he saw Xiao Zhan give him a look, and hurriedly stopped his mouth.

"Are you a new Outer Sect Elder, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Of course it doesn't matter," Xiao Zhan nodded and said with a smile:

"I am on the orders of Zhuang Mochou's predecessor to investigate the disappearance of the Eighth Elder of the Inner Gate."

"Please also ask Elder Yan to cooperate."

Yan Long slowly closed his eyes, "I've already said what I should say, and if you ask a hundred or a thousand times, I will still say that." ”

Xiao Zhan nodded: "I believe that what Elder Yan said is true, but some people in the sect don't believe it. ”

"So, Elder Yan might as well tell me the matter again, and I can help think about it to see if I can confirm Elder Yan's innocence so that I can help Elder Yan get out of this predicament."

Yan Long frowned, and hurriedly said:

"I don't think it's a dilemma, compared to the seaside, it's really full of vitality and quiet, which just allows me to practice with peace of mind."

"Elder Xiao doesn't have to worry about it, you don't have to worry about my affairs, if you have that time, you should go and drink and walk around."

This conversation sounds fine.

But in fact, Xiao Zhan was saying that he had to find a way to save Yan Long.

And Yan Long told Xiao Zhan not to take risks and leave the Qingtian Sect quickly.

Xiao Zhan's face became more serious, and he said in a deep voice:

"Elder Yan, if you want to prove that you are not lying, you have to come up with evidence."

"How do you prove it?"

Yan Long snorted coldly:

"All the sea-crossing boats are all registered, and there is not one missing, doesn't it prove that Elder Wang Chongyang and they didn't come to me?"

Xiao Zhan frowned slightly, at that time, Wang Chongyang was driving three sea-crossing ships to Huangzhou.

In other words, it is impossible for Yan Long to manage all the sea-crossing ships.

Unless...... Yan Long has mastered the construction technology of sea-crossing boats! He built three of them himself!

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan's eyes lit up, this was a great thing for Yanlong City.

The plan for now is to find a way to help Yan Long get out of trouble.

Just when Xiao Zhan was thinking about it.

Zhuang Mochou's voice came from not far away;

"Elder Yan, since you said that there is not a shortage of sea-crossing boats under your management, why didn't you tell this information earlier?"

Hearing Zhuang Mochou's voice, Elder Yan immediately got up and saluted Zhuang Mochou with a fist:

"Miss Mochou, I won't tell you anything, I have resentment in my heart."

"I have conscientiously managed the sea-crossing ship for the Qingtian Sect, and I have stayed in the seaside where my true vitality is thin year after year, and I have no complaints."

"But now, the sect actually suspects me of betrayal, and I can't be angry."

Zhuang Mochou couldn't hear any emotion in his voice:

"So, you just don't say it, just see how the sect will treat a meritorious person like you, right?"

Yan Long sighed:

"Miss Mochou, I know it's wrong."

"Actually, I understand that as an elder of the Optimus Sect, I should cooperate with the sect's investigation, rather than be swayed by my own emotions."

"I've figured it out these days, and I'm not angry."

Zhuang Mochou didn't easily believe Yan Long's words, but looked at Xiao Zhan and asked:

"Well, do you think he's telling the truth or not?"

Xiao Zhan frowned: "How do I know if what he said is true or false?" ”

"Emotionally speaking, I can understand the grievances in Elder Yan's heart."

"But if you want to find out the truth, in my opinion, you still have to start with the Famous Sword Sect."

"As long as the Famous Sword Sect admits that they did this, isn't it?"

Zhuang Mochou frowned slightly: "Tell me your opinion carefully." ”

Xiao Zhan looked at Zhuang Mochou and said slowly:

"Instead of investigating something that can't be found, it's better to let the truth of this matter become beneficial to us."

"Find a few disciples of the Famous Sword Sect and let them publicly admit that it was a certain strong man from the Famous Sword Sect who took them to intercept and kill Wang Chongyang."

Zhuang Mochou nodded, "Go on." ”

Xiao Zhan continued:

"At that time, it doesn't matter whether the Famous Sword Sect admits it or not, as long as the entire Qingzhou thinks that the Nameless Sect is provoking."

"I told Miss Mochou that day."

"If you want to win Qingzhou, the best policy is to surrender without a fight."

"There is also an old saying, "He who wins hearts and minds wins the world."

"As long as the Qingtian Sect becomes a righteous force in the eyes of everyone in Qingzhou, and the Famous Sword Sect or other forces become sinners who take the initiative to provoke contradictions and disturb the peace of Qingzhou, then the Qingtian Sect will become the object of support for everyone in Qingzhou."

A look of approval flashed in Zhuang Mochou's eyes, and he nodded:

"This trick is exactly the same as the method used by the four major states to deal with barren states 80,000 years ago."

"To this day, the people of the four states are still convinced that the people of the Huangzhou are brutal and should be destroyed, and the other four states are the righteous side."

Hearing Zhuang Mochou mention the Wasteland, Xiao Zhan and Yan Long bloomed with a touch of murderous intent in the depths of their eyes.

That's right, Xiao Zhan's move is to use the way of others to govern others!
