Chapter 23: Lone Peak Confrontation
"Why did you come back?" Although Cen Ge was questioning, he was actually clear in his heart, "Or should I ask in a different way-what did Gao Chengchuan send you to do?" ”
"Why do you want to ask knowingly?" The Grand Commander chuckled and sneered, "I've been away from the White Sect for a long time, especially after King Garan took over the White Sect, many things have become different from before, the altar has long been abandoned, and you no longer kill innocents indiscriminately to practice forbidden arts, this time I wanted to take a good look at Miss Xie as the former Grand Commander, but it turned out to be discovered by you so quickly, in that case, I won't go around the bush with you, you deliberately dismissed the disciples in the main altar, why?" ”
As soon as he spoke, the crows in the sky flew again, and the black feathers hovered and fell in the cemetery one by one, revealing a certain gloomy and ominous, Cen Ge replied without changing his face, "I'm not a reckless man, there is no reason to fight with the white tiger army under the mountain." ”
"Liar." The Grand Commander retorted without hesitation, "Over the years, Luo Qi has led his troops to attack the White Sect many times, and each time he has withdrawn from the army by pretending, I see that the disciples still have the heart to say goodbye to the Flying Shadow Sect Master before leaving, which means that they did not take this attack too seriously, and just followed your orders to seek support, so you should know that this time is different from before, and you did this to protect them, right?" In fact, the Governor secretly intervened, so that the White Tiger army has only gathered one detachment so far, if you concentrate all the strength of the current disciples in the main altar, plus the unique geographical advantage, you have a chance to be evenly matched with them. ”
"Evenly matched?" This time it was Cen Ge's turn to let out a giggle, "Concentrate all your strength and be evenly matched with the third detachment of the White Tiger, and then wait for Governor Gao's people to lead the other four detachments to kill them and be wiped out?" It is said that those who know the times are Junjie, since you are a lackey raised by Gao Chengchuan, you won't understand such a simple truth, right? Or does Governor Gao want us to break the net and then push the boat down the river to be the last fisherman to benefit? Hehe, he knocked on the wishful thinking in the imperial capital, and I could hear it clearly on the snowfield thousands of miles away. ”
The commander smiled and did not deny it, his tone was not polite, and he bluntly picked out some abnormalities in the past few days: "Xiao Yibai's front foot was poisoned, and the crown prince of the back foot ordered the withdrawal of troops, which really left you enough time to escape." ”
"Then I have to thank the Governor, if it weren't for the two of you poison that sent him to me, the crown prince wouldn't have withdrawn his troops easily." Cen Ge teased quite calmly, and the eyes of the two intersected sharply in the air for a moment, and they naturally understood the subtext behind each other's words.
The Great Commander paused, and his voice lowered: "But now that Xiao Yibai has gone back, and the disciples of the General Altar have almost evacuated, then you plan to give up the Divine Sect of the other race, and let the army kill in unscrupulously and pacify everything?" You are the great commander of the White Church, so spineless to raise your hands and surrender, you are not afraid that your faith will collapse, and the White Church will lose the hearts of the people and collapse? ”
Cen Ge's gaze condensed into a point: "Faith will not be confined to a certain point, a certain thing and a certain person, it is not a cold building, but a flame burning in the bottom of the heart, people only have a future when they are alive, and when they die, that is the countless tombstones around you and me, the dead can't save the White Sect, let alone the aliens." ”
Hearing such an answer, a dark light seemed to pass through the depths of the Great Commander's eyes, fierce and gloomy: "You are extremely talented, if it weren't for all the energy spent all these years on dealing with the mess, you must be an unfathomable warlock now, Xiao Qianye is not simple, you may not be able to win if you really fight." ”
He was silent for a moment, as if he remembered something, and asked curiously, "Yun Qiushui, one of the main culprits in the Shenyue theft case, seems to be your master, right?" That Xiao Qianye is barely half of the same door as you. ”
Hearing the master's name, the muscles in the corners of Cen Ge's eyes jumped slightly, such a small change was seen by the Dark Commander, and he smiled quietly, "Actually, we have been investigating this case, but unfortunately Emperor Tiangao has never made any progress, I only know that Yun Qiushui, who was seriously ill and almost died back then, gave birth to a daughter after going back, and now the mother and daughter are safe, and life is happy, but the other two people involved in it......
He paused deliberately, and sure enough, he saw a haze flashing on the other party's face: "The other two people are like evaporating from the world without any clues, the eldest princess doesn't mention it, after all, she was pardoned and exiled by His Majesty after being locked up in prison for many years, but your former sect leader King Jialan, just like he suddenly came and disappeared suddenly, hehe, say that he is affectionate, King Jialan has never been to Kunlun Mountain to see his wife and daughter, say that he is not affectionate, and he can break into the imperial capital city to coerce Danzhen Palace back then, and it is said that women are fickle, In fact, men have changed...... It's even more ruthless. ”
For some reason, Cen Ge let out a cold snort, obviously he didn't have a good impression of the former sect leader, and he didn't bother to mention half a word at all.
The Grand Commander took a step closer to him, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation: "You have this relationship should be very helpful to the investigation, if you can get Shen Yue back, you will definitely be able to rise to prominence in the future, why bother to guard a White Sect that has gone by the general trend and be afraid every day?" Governor Gao cherishes talents, anyway, he wants to stand in line, why don't you cooperate with me? ”
Cen Ge knew that he was deliberately tempting, so he didn't deny or admit it: "Since you want to pull me into the gang, you should show your true face, there is no sincerity at all, how can I believe you?" ”
"Oh?" The Grand Commander actually touched his cheek, the face covered by the spell was extremely blurry, but he could clearly feel that the other party hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, "My face has been transformed several times, maybe the next time you see me, you will change your appearance, but you don't have to care about your true face, I don't have a true face." ”
Cen Ge sneered coldly: "You are so bad under Governor Gao, why are you embarrassed to drag me into the fire pit?" Infiltrating the White Sect and stealing the forbidden art should be a confidential task, you are talking to me about this kind of thing now, not afraid that Governor Gao will know and kill you? ”
"I don't care, it's a relief to really kill me." The Grand Commander replied nonchalantly, the kind of eyes that saw through life and death actually made Cen Ge feel cold like falling into the abyss, "I have a puppet insect planted in my body, as long as he wants to kill me, he can do it at any time, but Governor Gao is fighting with the crown prince very fiercely at the moment, and it is when he is in a hurry to use people, probably he will not cut off his wings to deal with me at this time, hehe." ”
As he spoke, a crow landed on the mossy rock on the other side under his guidance, and the Great Commander's eyes finally flickered with a hint of brightness, and he asked curiously, "That female spider was obviously killed by a mysterious person with a white jade mask last night, but you told Miss Xie that Xiao Qianye did it, what are you hiding?" ”
"Really?" Cen Ge looked a little surprised, took a breath and continued with his words, "That female spider died so quickly that I didn't have time to figure out what was going on, and all the contact was cut off, it turned out that there was someone else?" ”
The Grand Commander dragged out his tone and narrowed his eyes meaningfully: "Lord Si Ming, don't pretend to be confused with me, although I didn't show my face, but the report of the dark department has mentioned many times that there is a man wearing a white jade mask who is extremely powerful, every time we meet him, our mission will inevitably fail, and that is undoubtedly the person of the Wind Demon." ”
"Wind Demon?" Cen Ge looked curious, and said to himself with his cheeks raised, "That's not the criminal on the most wanted list on Feiyuan?" The Governor can do his best to arrest the people as soon as possible, because they will come out every once in a while to cause trouble, and stir up panic. ”
"Xiao Yibai is the man wearing the white jade mask, right?" Hearing the other party's slightly ridiculous tone, the always cold Grand Commander finally couldn't hold his breath a little, "You know it's him, that's why you have to deliberately help him hide his identity, if he is found to have something to do with the Wind Demon, then the truth can be completely revealed in the dozens of unsolved cases that have shocked the Four Great Realms in the past ten years, and even the crown prince will be convicted together, even if his younger brother has made great contributions this time to win the White Sect that the imperial capital has in mind, the position of the master of the military pavilion cannot be handed over to this kind of person who has something to do with a wanted criminal, why do you want to help him?" ”
Cen Ge looked ahead without changing his face, and his tone was calm as if he was just stating the facts: "I'm not familiar with the pair of brothers in Tianzheng Mansion, and I'm not interested in any wind demons and princes. ”
The Grand Commander raised his eyebrows, snorted from his nose, and the crow let out a sharp and piercing hiss, and his voice mixed in with it, and gently reached Cen Ge's ear: "It seems that we can't be friends anymore, and we will die miserably if we stand on the wrong team." ”
The moment the tail note landed, blood had already splashed out of Cen Ge's cheeks!
"Hee-hee." The Grand Commander dragged a crow, and Cen Ge realized that his skin had been cut by the crow's feathers, and he heard the other party's sneer, "I said just now, it's a waste to spend such a high talent on dealing with the mess." ”
In the next second, the short sword in Cen Ge's sleeve struck out a snowy light, and the spirit of his whole body was condensed on the tip of the sword, and the sword qi penetrated the invisible spell barrier between the two and directly shattered the crow in the hand of the great commander!
"Huh......" The Grand Commander looked at the blurred pool of flesh and blood on his hand in surprise, his brows frowned slightly, and his tone was still leisurely, "Swordsmanship...... It was Yun Qiushui who taught you Kunlun Mountain swordsmanship, right? ”
"Is it only swordsmanship?" Cen Ge strode close to his opponent, even though the barrier had been broken, he still felt that every step was a deep quagmire, and the Grand Commander's gaze was suddenly constricted, only then did he notice that the crow's flesh and blood were squirming strangely, and the blood foam was intertwined and instantly wrapped around his wrist, and suddenly a familiar smell of blood came to his nose, and finally made him change his tone, "Blood curse? When was it used...... You can already attach a blood curse to the sword qi to attack me? ”
In the next step, Cen Ge finally approached his side, and the sword qi spread out like a net, and under the effect of the blood curse, it showed a piercing blood red: "The Great Commander may be the only person in the world today who can master the four forbidden techniques of the White Sect at the same time, how can I dream of winning you with spells alone?" ”
"Oh, that's amazing." The Grand Commander did not hesitate to praise, and immediately understood the real reason for the recent abnormalities, and his eyes changed several times, "At first, I thought that I deliberately made time to let you dismiss the sect in order to protect you and pull you into the gang, but now it seems that the more important reason should be to protect Xiao Qianye, his magic foundation has always been unsatisfactory, and after coming back for half a year, even the sparring of the Eight Halls of Law Cultivation was directly rejected on the grounds that he would not do it, and the swordsmanship is from Kunlun Mountain like yours, and the situation is even more unfavorable to him under the elimination of the other, it turns out that ...... It turned out to be to protect him! ”
"It's the same for everyone." Cen Ge's tone was as firm as his movements, "Whether it's the crown prince or Governor Gao, whether it's you or Xiao Qianye, as long as you set foot in the Thousand Machine Palace, I will kill you." ”
The Grand Commander swept through the air, and the crows gathered at his feet to support his master, his fingers controlling powerful spells, like a shadow of nothingness.
The wind picked up in the cemetery, and a cold tombstone was inexplicably tilted to the side, and a slender white bone hand burst out of the ground and made a pinching gesture vigorously.
Cen Ge gasped and saw the name engraved on the tombstone - Nanlian.
