Chapter 8: Abandoning the Sword
"The disciple was ashamed of the heavy burden on the elder, and originally wanted to continue to investigate the information of the Hong family, but he didn't want to be discovered, so he was seriously injured, and even one arm was lost there, not because of the elder of the Hong family."
The man with the broken arm lowered his head in shame, and faced the sect master and the elders in the hall without face.
"It's because of the mission, it's not all to blame you, but it's worth it to find out the person named Dongfang Zimo!" The white-bearded old man said with a sigh.
When the man with the broken arm heard this, he cried bitterly.
"Hey! Elder, that information is wrong, this person is not a martial artist as stated in the letter, but a person with real magical powers! The man with the broken arm was desperate and wept bitterly.
"The injuries I was wounded were done by this person, if I hadn't been lucky enough to get out of trouble, I'm afraid I would have died at the hands of this person!"
"What!"
The white-bearded old man was shocked.
All the elders in the hall were all surprised and discussed, and even the Yun Clan Sect sitting on the main seat had an ugly face.
"I didn't expect that the person brought back by Hong Qi was also a me-like existence!" Sect Master Yun was a little distracted, and muttered in his mouth.
"How is this person's mana fluctuation and ours?" The white-bearded old man seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly asked the man with the broken arm.
"This ......" The man with the broken arm hesitated a little, as if he was wondering whether to talk about it.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Seeing this, the white-bearded old man frowned and ordered.
"Yes! To tell the truth, in the opinion of the disciples, this person's mana is probably not under the elders, or even ...... Even higher than the elders. ”
"That's true!" Elder Peng, who had a big waist and a round waist, suddenly shouted loudly.
"It is true! That mana's mana fluctuations were not below the elders, and just looking at it from a distance made me feel terrified...... "The man with the broken arm was not only frightened because of excessive blood loss, but his lips were bloodless.
"Alright, go down and heal!" Sect Master Yun waved his hand with a heavy face.
"Yes! Sect Master Xie! After the man with the broken arm finished speaking, he was helped down here.
At this moment, there was almost silence in the hall, as if waiting for the Yun Clan Sect Master's speech.
"Elder Yun, what do you think?"
After a long time, Sect Master Yun asked the white-bearded old man.
"Sect Master, the old man thinks that since this son has such power, why not recruit him?" The white-bearded old man pondered for a moment, then said something that surprised everyone.
"Well, I have the same intention!" Sect Master Yun nodded, revealing a smile that he hadn't seen in a long time.
"Don't worry, the sect master will leave this matter to the old man." The white-bearded old man seemed to be very confident.
……
A quiet room in the Hong sect.
Zijian...... Zijian! Dongfang Zimo shouted, only then did he wake up from his dream.
Dongfang Zimo, who had just woken up, saw the environment in front of him clearly, and his excitement eased.
"Xiaoyou finally woke up, but it was not in vain for the old man to save him."
Just when Dongfang Zimo was still in a daze, an old man's voice came from outside.
Dongfang Zimo walked out with a puzzled face.
I saw an old man wearing a blue robe, although it was only the back, but a trace of extraordinary aura could be seen from it.
"Dare to ask the seniors?" Dongfang Zimo was very curious about this strange guest.
"Old man Zhou Yin, I'm here to disturb, Xiaoyou shouldn't care, right?" The blue-robed old man said with a laugh.
"It turned out to be Zhou's seniors, the seniors are here, how dare the juniors not welcome it." Dongfang Zimo smiled indifferently.
"If you are polite, the old man won't say much, Xiaoyou can remember the tragic murder of the Hong disciple a few days ago?" Old man Zhou Yin's smile immediately retracted, and his eyes stared at Dongfang Zimo sharply.
"The Hong disciple was brutally killed? Dare to ask the seniors who did this? Dongfang Zimo saw this unkind look, and immediately became solemn.
"You really don't know? Just the day before yesterday, suddenly a person with messy hair and a sword in his hand rushed into the Hong clan's sect and frantically slashed and killed the Hong family's disciples, which was very scary, you really don't know about this? The old man Zhou Yin's tone seemed to be a little inquisitive, and he didn't have a little politeness.
"The younger generation only admired the flowers in the pavilion and wiped the sword the day before yesterday, and did not go elsewhere, the seniors came this time, is it suspected that the younger generation did it?" Dongfang Zimo felt that something was wrong, his face sank, and he said coldly.
Old man Zhou Yin stared at Dongfang Zimo intently for a long time, and finally laughed and said: "It seems that this matter is not Xiaoyou's fault, and it is no wonder how can a person who has been invaded by evil qi know everything he has done." ”
"What do you mean, senior?" The old man's words made Dongfang Zimo feel more and more confused.
"If you really don't know, then I'll tell you the truth. In fact, the madman I mentioned just now is Xiaoyou, that day, Xiaoyou was holding a sword in his hand and cutting people when he saw them, and he was so angry that even a spy who infiltrated the Hong sect was cut off by Xiaoyou, if it weren't for the old man and Elder Hong even if they arrived, I am afraid the consequences would be unimaginable. ”
"Hehe, senior Zhou, don't rely on being an elder to spread rumors about others." Dongfang Zimo obviously didn't believe the old man's words.
"You're right, but what the old man said is true. Do you feel that you are always restless or even irritable these days? ”
"How do you know? Even so, that doesn't mean that the madman is me, right? Dongfang Zimo was a little surprised when he saw the old man explain his recent situation, but he still said with suspicion.
"The old man won't beat around the bush, what are you just this sword? The old man Zhou Yin pointed to Dongfang Zimo's waist with a sword and said.
"This sword has always been with me, but I don't know the origin yet, could it be that Senior Zhou knows this sword?" Dongfang Zimo dragged his sword and sighed. But in the back, he looked at the old man with some excitement.
"Do you know what's in harm?" Zhou Yin frowned, ignoring Dongfang Zimo's question.
"I don't know." Dongfang Zimo was a little surprised, but still answered truthfully.
When the old man heard this, his face was still solemn and he walked back and forth in place, and suddenly his wrinkled eyes stared at Dongfang Zimo.
"You can't keep this sword, it's better to abandon it as soon as possible, it's better to destroy it, so as not to fall into the hands of others and cause endless harm!" Old man Zhou Yin suddenly grabbed Dongfang Zimo's hand and asked.
"Why did Senior Zhou say this, is it inappropriate for the younger generation to use this sword?" Dongfang Zimo had long been a little suspicious when he saw the old man's suspicious appearance, and when he heard this, he felt that this person was a little nonsense.
"Humph! I'll just say it bluntly, you fainted the day before yesterday and lost your mind, completely because of this sword, this sword is quite evil, even the old man doesn't dare to keep it, you have been wearing this sword on your body, it will slowly erode your mind, and one day it will turn against the guest and make you a demon who can only kill! The old man sees that you are in good mind now, and you must have entered the body with shallow anger, and you should abandon this sword as soon as possible to save your life! Old man Zhou Yin gushed out the dangers of this sword.
