It was nearly dusk, and finally the third day of the competition was over, and the monk in the audience loudly announced that it would continue tomorrow, and the competition on this day was either wonderful or thrilling, and many disciples dispersed one after another.

On this day, in addition to the excitement in the ring downstairs, there was another incident, although not many people noticed it, but the people involved were like ants on a hot pot.

It was a monk from Meng Cailou, and the reason was very simple, they had one less person, and they were still a relatively important person...... The skull is gone. Of course, among the people who came from Meng Cailou, the ones who were really anxious were the elders who were responsible for bringing these disciples over, and the rest of the disciples did not have any panic about Hua Cong's disappearance one by one.

As mentioned earlier, He Sinu had already discovered Hua Cong's disappearance, and for this reason, he also asked Qi Ruoyuan about Hua Cong's whereabouts, and under Qi Ruoyuan's persuasion, he decided to honestly dare not have any wrong thoughts during the remaining period of the Five Spirits Sect. However, He Sinu could find out about Hua Cong's disappearance, so why couldn't other monks from Meng Cailou find out, on the morning of the third day of the Chengguan Grace Test, all the disciples of Meng Cailou were summoned by an elder surnamed Meng Cailou surnamed Song for questioning.

Elder Song found out about Hua Cong yesterday, and he was worried and waited for a day and still didn't see Hua Cong appear, and then he panicked, Hua Cong also had an identity in Meng Cailou, and was taken all the way to Wuling Sect by Elder Song, if he stayed in Wuling Sect, no matter what happened in the future, it had nothing to do with him, but before the hundred years of dedication, the kid was actually gone, and after going back, several elders surnamed Hua in Meng Cailou looked for him, and he couldn't afford to offend those people, so where did he go to find Hua Cong? What's more, he hadn't seen Hua Cong for two days, and Elder Song had a bad premonition about Hua Cong's life or death, so early in the morning of the third day of the Chengguan En Test, he ordered all the disciples of Meng Cailou to stay in their residence and wait for the elder to come to the door for questioning, naturally asking if anyone knew Hua Cong's whereabouts or Hua Cong's recent moves.

Someone said that they seemed to have seen Hua Cong go out before dawn on the first day of the Chengguan En Test, but I don't know where he went, Elder Song asked almost all the people and only got the news, Hua Cong was from the Five Spirits Sect by himself, and then he disappeared, and he didn't come back until now.

In desperation, Elder Song had no choice but to go to Elder Jiang from the Five Spirits Sect Council Hall worriedly.

Elder Jiang already knew from Tang Bonian's mouth about Qian Chao and the others' plans for the cold water pool, and he also agreed with Qian Chao's thoughts, the only thing that surprised him was ...... He originally thought that the person trapped in the cold water pool should be someone hidden in the Five Spirits Sect, and then he could take the opportunity to dig deeper, but he didn't expect that the person trapped in the cold water pool was actually a gentleman from Meng Cailou, well, after Hua Cheng was trapped, Tang Bonian looked for Elder Jiang again, and then said the plans of Qian Chao and the others later, since he was trapped, he might as well trap him for a while, anyway, the life and death of a Meng Cailou gentleman is not in the eyes of the Five Spirits Sect, not to mention that this Hua Cheng is also very suspicious, Why did he come all the way from Meng Cailou to the Five Spirits Sect, and he didn't go anywhere, but he had to go to the cold water pool? Shut him up for a while, no matter who is locked up in the cold pool now, it's bait, continue to wait and see, maybe there will be a harvest later.

Of course, in the face of Elder Song of Meng Cailou, who came to find him, Elder Jiang had to have a false relationship with him, listened to Elder Song patiently, then asked a few more questions, and finally said:

"Well, after a hundred years of acceptance, maybe who will stay in the end, could it be that the playboy of your sect is unwilling to stay in my Five Spirits Sect and return to Meng Cailou without saying goodbye in private?"

Elder Song thought about this question, it was almost impossible, originally the person Meng Cailou was going to stay in the Five Spirits Sect this time was not Hua Cong, and bringing him over was just a formality, but this could not be said clearly, so he said to Elder Jiang:

"In the next opinion, this possibility is not very likely, although Hua Cong's child is usually a little pampered, but on the whole, he still knows the general situation, and he will never do anything to sneak back."

"That means that the playboy left the Five Spirit Sect early the day before yesterday and hasn't come back yet?"

"Yes, that's what I'm worried about, young people are active and curious, and when they come here, they may see everything new and go out to play...... Or lost...... Or what did you encounter outside......"

This can be regarded as squeezing this Elder Song and not knowing what to say, and it is true, if Hua Cong's matter is not a result, he will not be able to explain it.

Elder Jiang says:

"Okay, since Elder Song said so, then today I will send people to look for it outside the sect, especially some high-level demon beasts outside the sect, to see if I can find something."

"Thank you."

……

Elder Jiang really sent some foundation building monks in the sect out, but this arrangement made Jing Ji really nervous for a while.

Jing Ji also had ears and eyes in the sect, and soon after Elder Jiang's men were sent out, someone told him the news.

At first hearing, Jing Jie's heart suddenly hung up, and there was even the fear of approaching danger, there were two hidden places outside the sect, where Tian Du and Jin Zhang were hidden to deal with Qian Chao's manpower, which were all arranged by him personally, at first Jing Jian didn't know what the sect was doing when he sent those foundation building monks out, he instinctively thought that he was entrusted by Mu Yang Zong Guisu to kill Qian Chao, and the sect was going to capture those people first, and then he might have to clean himself up.

Ignoring the strange eyes of Zong Yan and the others, Jing Jian hurriedly left to inquire carefully, and the next news he got made him feel a little relieved, it turned out that those people went out to be entrusted by an elder surnamed Song of Meng Cailou in the sect, and went out to look for the lost Hua Cheng, not for Jing Jie.

But despite this, Jing Jie's heart was still hanging, he couldn't buy all the foundation building monks in the sect, and the people sent out to find Hua Cong were selected by Elder Jiang, and they were all shrewd and capable people, in case they found those people from Jin Zhang or Tian Du outside...... Then his matter against the money tide will be a bamboo basket.

But those people have already been sent out, it is impossible for him to stop them, let alone go out with them to see where those people are going to find Hua Cheng, those are all foundation building monks, even if he sends people to follow, it is impossible to keep up, that is to say, he can't do anything about this situation, and he is helpless.

When he returned to Zongfang's side, he casually found a reason to prevaricate, and spent a whole day in uneasiness, but he didn't have the intention to watch the competition in the ring at all, which attracted Feng You's special attention to him.

Just when the Chengguan Grace test was about to end today, Jing Jian got the news again, the people sent by the sect came back, the specific information is unknown, but it seems that nothing has been found, it is said that Elder Jiang is still a little dissatisfied, and ordered them to continue to look for it tomorrow.

Hearing this, Jing Ji's heart let go of a little more, but he still didn't dare to let go of his heart, on the one hand, he sent someone to find out what the foundation building monks who went out to find out where they had been, and on the other hand, he thought about whether to hide Jin Zhang and Tian Du's people in another place.

He couldn't make up his mind for a while, but he decided to send someone to the place where the two groups were hiding to ask if there was anything unusual during the day.

Jing Jian definitely didn't expect that in addition to Feng You's constant staring at him, his every move also fell into many pairs of eyes, and the people he sent out were targeted again before they left the sect, and they were quietly followed, not only that, but even the hiding places of those people found by Tian Du and Jin Zhang were kept secretly guarded.

……

After twilight fell, the Elder Song of Meng Cailou found Elder Jiang from the Five Spirits Sect Council Hall to inquire about the news, after all, this was not the boundary of Meng Cailou, and they also wanted to go out to find it, but the master had already sent someone out to find it, so they could only wait for news.

Elder Jiang had already discussed with Tang Bonian during the day, and Tang Bonian was in charge of how to deal with Hua Cong's affairs in the future, so after Elder Jiang said a few words, he directly asked this Elder Song to go to Tang Bonian to inquire about the details.

Tang Bonian was looking at a map in his cave at this time, two places were marked on it, that was where Tian Du and Jin Zhang's people were hiding, Ma Hu had followed Jing Ji's people out with other senior brothers, and found out the hiding place of those two groups, Ma Hu knew that it was equivalent to Qian Chao knowing, and naturally Tang Bonian also knew. Two of the foundation building monks sent out by Elder Jiang today were Tang Bonian's disciples, and after they went out, they quietly checked these two places according to Tang Bonian's orders, and sure enough, they found those unidentified people hiding in the secret cave, and they were not alarmed, so naturally it was impossible for them to be discovered, and these two people reported the matter to Tang Bonian after they came back.

"There are still a lot of people, can those children handle it?" Tang Bonian put down the map and muttered to himself.

At this moment, his disciple came in and told Elder Song of Meng Cailou to ask for a meeting.

He naturally knew what Meng Cailou's surname Song was doing, so he put away the map and invited Elder Song in.

"Elder Tang, Elder Jiang said that Hua Cong's matter was entrusted to Elder Tang, which is really troublesome." After Elder Song came in, he said very politely.

"Where, since the playboy is missing in the Five Spirits Sect, we naturally have to look for it."

"I wonder if I found anything out there today?"

Tang Bonian motioned for Elder Song to sit down and speak, and then said:

"Hua Cheng is a very well-founded child in Meng Cailou, otherwise it would be impossible to bring him for a hundred years, right?"

"Yes, several of his elders are all monks of Jiedan in Meng Cailou, and there is also an ancestor who is the ancestor of our Meng Cailou."

"Well, sure enough, the identity is not ordinary, if it is...... Elder Song, I'm just assuming, if you really can't find the playboy, it must be difficult for Elder Song to explain when he goes back, right? ”

These words made Elder Song both strange and frightened, and said:

"That's natural, the people who led the team to your sect this time are led by me, and they will be responsible for anything that happens."

"Hmm...... To tell the truth, today we sent a lot of foundation building disciples out to search, the outside of the Five Spirits Sect is actually not big, with their ability, it is not a problem to check back and forth in one day, but the strange thing is that they really didn't find anything after checking outside for a day, alas......"

"Then ......," Elder Song became even more anxious after hearing this, "then where can he go?" Could it be that there is some danger outside? ”

"If that's the case, it's even more difficult to check, forgive me for being straight, I really encountered some powerful demon beast, and I can't find ...... even the corpse capital."

"Alas......" Elder Song was at a loss, that's right, if he really encountered a powerful demon beast, he was afraid that now Hua Cheng would enter the other party's belly for food.

"But...... There's one thing I'm curious about. ”

"Elder Tang, please speak."

"You are here this time just in time for our Five Spirits Sect's once every ten years 'Chengguan Grace Test', many disciples want to apprentice, and the monks of the Yudan want to choose apprentices, which is a very lively thing in our sect. It is said that according to the young man's heart, that playboy should not go outside on the first day of the Chengguanen test, this time not only you Meng Cailou, but also the Lion Forest, Jiuganyuan and Skycliff have people coming, their age and cultivation are similar to those disciples in my sect who took the stage to compete, I watched those children run to see the excitement one by one, but this playboy quietly went out of our sect, I am very curious about what the playboy went out for, Elder Song, I won't tell you, when I tested, There are almost no disciples outside our sect, and all the people gather in Chengguan Tower to watch the excitement, and the playboy goes out at this time, Elder Song, aren't you curious? ”

"This ......"

Curious, how can you not be curious, as early as knowing that Hua Cong was the first day of the Chengguan Grace test sneaked out quietly before dawn, Elder Song was curious, and it was not so much curious as worried, Elder Song also guessed that when the Chengguan En test was the time when there were the least people outside the Five Spirits Sect, what to do outside at this time did not have to worry about being bumped into by others, and therefore he was worried that Hua Cong came to the Five Spirits Sect for another purpose, that is, to take advantage of this opportunity to come to the Five Spirits Sect to do something, now that Hua Cong is gone, listen to Tang Bonian's words, It is likely that the Five Spirits Sect has been prepared for a long time, maybe Hua Cheng was caught by throwing himself into the net, and is now being imprisoned in a secret place.

And now that Tang Bonian is saying this, are they still suspecting that he instructed Hua Cong to do things, and now he is making a fuss about asking them to help find someone, will they suspect that they are actually here to inquire about the news, and then wait for the opportunity to send Hua Cong out?

Thinking of this, the expression on Elder Song's face changed, and when he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Tang Bonian, who had been staring at his face, and Tang Bonian handed a letter to him.

"This is ......," Elder Song asked after taking it.

"For the sake of Elder Song, I wrote a letter, asking Elder Song to find a trustworthy person to send to your Meng Cailou and hand it over to Elder Du Xiandu, even if Hua Cheng can no longer be found in the future, Elder Song will not have to take any responsibility when he goes back, remember, this letter can only be handed over to Elder Du."

Du Xian's status in Meng Cailou was not much different from that of Elder Jiang of the Five Spirits Sect.

Elder Song was a little curious about this unsigned and unsigned letter, and he concluded at this time that Hua Cong's disappearance must have something to do with the Five Spirits Sect, or that the Five Spirits Sect must know Hua Cong's whereabouts, but why didn't he say it directly, but it would make it so troublesome and find someone to send the letter?

Seeing Elder Song's curiosity, Tang Bonian continued:

"Hehe, Elder Song especially wants to explain to the person who sent the letter that he has used means to open this letter in private, and there is nothing in it, and even if it is sent to Elder Du Xian's hands, he will know that someone has tried to peek at it, only if you Elder Du opens this letter with the same means as Zaixia, you can know the content of it, this, it's not that you don't believe Elder Song, but it's always been a rule, let's put it this way, the Five Spirits Sect and the Mu Yang Sect have been fighting openly and secretly, but the Five Spirits Sect has passed on the past letters in this way, The important people in the Muyang Sect will also receive it smoothly, so do Elder Song understand? ”

Elder Song's surprise soon turned into a sudden jump in his chest, he is also a monk of Jiedan, and he still has a position in Meng Cailou, even if he doesn't know much about the core secrets, but he has always heard of it, he has heard that in addition to attacking and intriguing with each other, the six sects in the world only work together in one thing, because he doesn't know much about it, but he heard that it seems to involve something about the "Seventh Great Sect", and as long as the people involved no matter what the means of cultivation, has almost become the common opponent of the six sects in the world, and now this matter is because of Hua Cong, Hua Cong's cultivation is nothing, and he will not be looked at more without his background, but the key is his identity background, if there is anything suspicious about him, then those people behind him, his elders and ancestors will ...... Thinking of this, Elder Song couldn't help but shiver in fear, but no matter what, Tang Bonian's letter was sent back and no one would really make trouble for him, but maybe in the future, there would be a storm involving Yuanying Patriarch in Meng Cailou......

"It's not necessarily the same as what Elder Song thought," Tang Bonian said as he stared at the thoughtful Elder Song, "Just pass the news back, and the rest of the matter should be decided by you, Elder Du." ”

"Okay."

That night, this Elder Song sent back a powerful henchman who had come with him, and made a solemn request before leaving, first, that this person must not open the letter privately on the road, and second, to tell him that this letter must be handed over to Elder Du Xian in person, and it is best to bring back a reply.

……

After seeing off Elder Song of Meng Cailou, Tang Bonian's cave mansion welcomed several more guests.

The visitor was actually Bai Yan from the Northland, who came under the leadership of Elder Jiang, followed by a white man with black hair and a pair of curious eyes.

In the room, Elder Jiang explained his intentions, it turned out that Bai Yan wanted to find a good teacher for his daughter in the Five Spirits Sect, and Bai Shen didn't know who he was encouraged by in the past few days in the Five Spirits Sect, and he had been making noise in front of Bai Yan to worship Tang Bonian in Bibo Tan as a teacher, Bai Yan naturally heard of Tang Bonian's reputation, and was naturally excited, but people still said whether they could accept their daughters, so they could only ask Elder Jiang for help, so Elder Jiang took the father and daughter to run for this matter.

Tang Bonian was very fond of this little girl when Bai Shen took the stage to compete, and once moved the mind of accepting apprentices, and now Elder Jiang came to lobby, Bai Yan also offered a heavy gift, naturally he has face, where is the reason not to agree.

It happened that Tang Ping had something to find his sixth grandfather, and met Bai Shen who was looking around curiously in the cave, so he asked curiously:

"Hey, white girl, why are you here?"

"Come and apprentice!"

"You...... Do you want to worship my sixth grandfather as a teacher? Tang Ping said in surprise, "There are so many elders in Bibotan, why do you have to worship him as a teacher?" ”

"Why not, the master has already agreed," Bai Shen looked at the woman in front of her who was similar to her, and asked, "You are Tang Ping, I heard my sister talk about you." ”

Well, in the end, the personalities of the two girls are very similar, just like two little hedgehogs full of thorns feel uncomfortable with each other when they get together, Tang Ping felt that Bai Shen was a little unpleasant, so she deliberately said:

"Hmph, you are not allowed to call me by my name like this after worshipping the teacher, you want to call me senior sister, do you know?"

Bai Shen looked Tang Ping up and down, and then deliberately said:

"The title is still up for discussion, I worshipped Shi Tang's predecessor is my master, a generation older than me, what about you, you are the granddaughter of Tang's senior, two generations later than Tang's predecessor, so I am still a generation older than you, but you should call me sister-in-law."

"You ......"

This is also the first time Tang Ping has eaten deflated, and this is also a status quo in the cultivation world, take Tang Ping as an example, she apprenticed to her aunt and won the fairy, originally the aunt and Tang Bonian were the same generation, and Tang Bonian also called her a senior sister, but after Tang Ping worshipped the teacher, she vaguely said that her aunt was a generation later than Tang Bonian. The lifespan of monks is long, so this situation is very common in the cultivation world, and everyone doesn't care, they have their own opinions, but if they care, Tang Ping really wants to call Bai Shen, the little girl, "little aunt".

"Come in, Son." Bai Yan's voice came from the room.

"Oh." Bai Shen answered and opened the door and entered.

Tang Bonian, who was sitting inside, saw the back of his baby granddaughter who turned away angrily, and he asked curiously:

"What happened to the girl?"

……

Just when Tang Ping and Bai Shen suffered a loss in the first confrontation and returned, there were still people in the sect who were worried about her.

Shangguan Hong quietly asked a man out in the night.

"Senior Sister Shangguan, I don't know what to do with me?" A young man stood opposite Shangguan Hong.

"Senior Brother Wei, looking for you to come out at night, I naturally have something to ask for."

"Don't dare to ask for words, Senior Sister Shangguan can say anything."

"I heard that tomorrow you will compete with Tang Ping in the ring......"

"Yes, it was this competition arranged by the master, saying that it was to see what my methods have been over the years, and I just knew that the opponent was Senior Sister Tang."

"Then what should Senior Brother Wei do after he prepares to take the stage?"

"Could it be that Senior Sister Shangguan wants me to lose to Tang Ping? That's not good, I heard that my master also made a bet with Tang Bonian's seniors, and I don't know what they bet on, anyway, my master said that I must win, and if I lose, I will definitely be punished by my master. ”

"Hehe, on the contrary, it seems that I have done a little too much, but I still hope that Senior Brother Wei will not leave his hands after he takes the stage tomorrow, and I, as a senior sister, also want to see where the limit of my Senior Sister Tang's means is."

"That's all?"

"Yes, that's all, if you win, senior sister will have a big gift for you here."

"Really?"

"That's nature."

After talking for a while, he was separated from that person, Shangguan Hong in the night smiled slightly, Tang Ping's opponent tomorrow is a very strong character, she has to take a good look, that Senior Brother Wei should have the means to force Tang Ping to show her true skills on stage, it is best for her to see with her own eyes the pair of white fox ears when Tang Ping fully shows her strength, so she is sure that she has good things on her master that she can't find in a hundred turns!
