() When Duan Chen was imprisoned in the dungeon, in a side hall of the Punishment Palace, Taichong Zhenren, who had just finished attending the meeting of the Hall of Elders, was sitting at the top of the main hall, with a gloomy look on his face.

"King of the Desolate Heaven, I didn't expect that one of your apprentices would be so difficult to deal with, but it doesn't matter, he is now imprisoned in our Punishment Hall, and the next step is life or death, but I can't help him. ”

Although the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall strictly forbade anyone to visit before ordering Duan Chen to be imprisoned, Tai Chong Zhenren was the elder of the Punishment Palace, and his father Chihuo Sanren was also the deputy hall master of the Punishment Palace, if he really wanted to do something to Duan Chen in the Punishment Palace, it was not without means.

Thinking of this, Taichong Zhenren couldn't help but stand up, quickly left the side hall, and walked towards the dungeon where Duan Chen was imprisoned.

As a result, he was stopped halfway through.

"Elder Song, what do you mean by this?" Looking at Song Yungui and the other Punishment Hall Elder Jindan who stopped in front of him, Tai Chong Zhenren frowned a little displeased.

"Elder Taichong, are you planning to go to the dungeon?" Song Yungui didn't answer the rhetorical question, his expression was a little strange.

"Yes, what's the matter, as an elder of the Punishment Palace, I can't go to this dungeon?" Tai Chong Zhenren asked, glaring at Song Yun at the same time.

This Song Yungui was originally his father's subordinate, so he had a good relationship with Taichong Zhenren on weekdays, otherwise, he would not have helped Taichong Zhenren deal with Duan Chen together in the Hall of Elders today.

Unexpectedly, Song Yungui didn't seem to see the eyes of Taichong's real envoy, and said in a low voice: "Elder Taichong, you can't go anywhere from today onwards, just stay in the Xiyu Hall to retreat and cultivate." ”

Taichong Zhenren frowned when he heard this, "Elder Song, what do you mean by this?"

Song Yungui shook his head and sighed: "This is what the deputy hall master meant, the deputy hall master asked me to tell you, from today onwards, you can't go anywhere except for the Xiyu Palace, until he returns from the frontline battlefield." ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "Tai Chong, the deputy hall master, his old man did not directly summon you this time, but told you through me, you should know what this means, right?"

"My father's order?" Taichong Zhenren was stunned, as if he couldn't believe it.

Generally speaking, if the Chihuo Sanren wanted to punish his son, they would be summoned directly through the token, and only when he was very unhappy and too lazy to deal with him, would he let others tell him.

But he didn't do anything wrong, why did his father order to ban his feet?

"Elder Song, what the hell is going on?" Tai Chong Zhenren asked as he looked up at Song Yungui.

"I'm not sure, but I've heard from the Xuanguang Palace that the Desolate Heavenly King seems to have broken through to the Yuanying realm. Song Yungui said with a complicated expression.

"What!" Tai Chong Zhenren's eyes widened, his brain went blank, and the whole person instantly entered a temporary state of distraction.

"Alas. Seeing this, Song Yungui shook his head, and then raised his hand to shoot out a spiritual light, wrapping Taichong Zhenren and flying towards the Xiyu Palace.

And on the day that Taichong Zhenren was ordered to be grounded by the Red Fire Sanren, in a stone hall full of spiritual mist in the depths of Wanling Mountain, Chen Xuanguang and the Great Elder were standing respectfully at the head of the stone hall.

"I can't imagine that this Desolate Heavenly King can break through to the Yuanying realm in the barren land of the Great Desolate Dynasty, if he was willing to agree to join the Inner Palace, maybe thousands of years later, our Beiyuan Immortal Palace will have one more cultivator of the Transformation God Realm. ”

At the top of the stone hall, Dongfang Yungao, the palace master of the outer palace, sat and said: "It's a pity that everyone has their own ambitions, and we can't force others." ”

Chen Xuanguang, who was standing at the head of His Royal Highness Shi, said: "Qiyu Palace Master, although the King of the Desolate Heaven refused to join the Inner Palace at the beginning, he at least stayed in our Outer Palace, and now he has broken through to the Yuanying Realm, whether it is for our Outer Palace, or for the Great Wilderness Dynasty, or for the front-line battlefield, it is a good thing." ”

"That's not wrong if you say that. ”

Dongfang Yun nodded, but his tone was a little regretful, and he still seemed to regret that he couldn't bring a genius like the Desolate Heavenly King into the inner palace.

At this time, I only heard the Great Elder speak: "Palace Master, how should we deal with the matter of that period of time?"

Dongfang Yun couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he heard this, his fingers tapped the armrest at will, and only after a while did he say: "This matter is not big, it is not small, after all, two Jindan disciples of the outer palace died, if you don't deal with it seriously, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public." ”

"In this way, pass me the order, release Duan Chen first, and when the next batch of teams supporting the border battlefield set off, let him go to the frontline battlefield with him, and make meritorious contributions. ”

"Yes. The Great Elder bowed and nodded slightly.

Chen Xuanguang on the side showed a hint of relaxation.

Letting Duan Chen go to the frontline battlefield to make meritorious contributions, this punishment is not the same, after all, if this is also a punishment, then the other disciples and elders who support the border battlefield are also being punished?

"Okay, you guys go, if you don't have anything important to do during this time, don't come and disturb my retreat and cultivation. Dongfang Yun waved his hand.

"Yes. Chen Xuanguang and the Great Elder agreed at the same time, and then walked out quickly.

"Xuanshuang is also on the border battlefield now, so I'll send this period over...... Great Palace Master, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?" Dongfang Yun sat at the top of the stone hall, his eyes looked in the direction of the inner palace, and the whole person immediately fell into contemplation.

A moment later, the purple glow around him flashed, and his figure disappeared from the top of the stone hall.

......

In one of the dungeons of the Punishment Palace, Duan Chen still didn't know that he was about to be sent to the border battlefield.

He had nothing to do, so he simply practiced the Demon Immortal One Thought Method in the dungeon with peace of mind, after all, he didn't know how long he would be imprisoned, and he didn't know what the above would ultimately decide to do with him.

As time passed, Duan Chen's cultivation gradually improved.

He now had only one thought in his heart, and that was to break through to the middle stage of Jindan as soon as possible.

This experience in the Hall of Elders made him more aware of the importance of his own strength, imagine that if it wasn't for the fact that Tai Miao was present to help at that time, I am afraid that he would have been arrested by Song Yungui of the Hall of Punishment and taken to the Hall of Elders with torture instruments at the beginning.

Think about it again, if this time the matter falls on a monk from the False Infant Realm, or even the Yuan Infant Realm, I'm afraid it won't be a big deal at all.

In the final analysis, the immortal cultivation realm is still respected by strength, as long as the strength is strong enough, the so-called palace law law can be exempted to a certain extent.

And if it was a powerhouse of the Transformation God Realm like Dongfang Yun, the palace master of the Outer Palace, even if he killed a Jindan monk for no reason, no one would dare to hold him accountable.

That's the benefit of being stronger.

Moreover, Duan Chen has always been concerned about the war on the border battlefield, Zhuge Xuanshuang who was on the frontline battlefield, and Tiandu Town, which disappeared back then.

Since the last time

After encountering the mysterious man who resembled the morning sun in Xilong City and sensing the aura of demon cultivation on his body, Duan Chen had a feeling of worry and concern in his heart.

If that person is really Chenyang, if Chenyang has really become a demon cultivator, then have the other people in Tiandu Town also become demon cultivators like Chenyang?

Moreover, after the loss of Tiandu Town, the Seven Demon Lords once caught a wisp of the breath of a demon powerhouse in the depths of the sky above Tiandu Town.

There are all kinds of indications that Tiandu Town was very likely to be brought to the Eastern Regions by a strong man from the demon clan.

As for why the other party did this, it was up to Duan Chen to investigate it in the future.

Before that, he had to improve his strength as much as possible.

Thundered!

Just when Duan Chen was concentrating on cultivating the Demon Immortal One Thought Method and improving his strength, the stone door of the dungeon where he was located was suddenly opened.

followed by Taimiao's real voice sounded in his ears: "Duan Chen, you can come out." ”

Duan Chen, who was sitting in the stone prison, was shocked when he heard this, and then quickly opened his eyes, got up and walked towards the outside of the dungeon.

"Duan Chen, the above has already decided what to do with you. "Tai Miao stood outside the dungeon door, followed by two elders of the Punishment Hall.

"What are you going to do with me?" Duan Chen asked with a nervous expression.

"It's okay, you don't have to be too nervous. Tai Miao Zhenren smiled slightly and said: "But after all, you killed two Jindan disciples of the Outer Palace this time, so the above decided to send you to Qingshan City, so that you can make meritorious contributions on the frontline battlefield." ”

"Let me go to the frontline battlefield to make meritorious contributions?" Duan Chen was a little surprised, but also a little happy, and said: "When are you going to let me go?"

"Soon, when the next group of teams to support the frontline battlefield is assembled, they will take you and set off for Qingshan City. Tai Miao Zhenren: "So you should arrange and prepare as soon as possible after you go back this time, I estimate that it will be within these three or five days." ”

"Good. Duan Chen nodded, and then followed Tai Miao Zhenren out of the dungeon of the Punishment Palace.

......

And just when Tai Miao Zhenren left the dungeon of the Punishment Hall with Duan Chen, he was in the main hall of the Punishment Hall not far away.

"Did the Great Elder order this period of Chen to be sent to the frontline battlefield to perform meritorious service?" asked the head of the main hall, the masked Punishment Hall master, curiously.

Song Yungui stood respectfully below, and said in a low voice: "This subordinate doesn't know, but it was Tai Miao Zhenren who came to pick up people with the Great Elder's hand. ”

The Lord of the Punishment Hall said in a puzzled voice: "This is strange, with the character of the Great Elder, even if he wants to open the net for the sake of the face of the Desolate Heavenly King, the punishment will not be so light." ”

When Song Yungui heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate and said: "My subordinates heard that as soon as the meeting of the Hall of Elders ended, the Great Elder and Hall Master Chen went to Wanling Mountain to meet the Dongfang Palace Master together, maybe this is the meaning of the Dongfang Palace Master. ”

"What does the Eastern Palace Lord mean, then it is even more impossible, the Eastern Palace Master is a cultivator of the Transformation God Realm, why should he sell his face to the Desolate Heavenly King?"

"This subordinate does not know. Song Yun returned.

"If you don't know, just go and ask. The hall master of the Punishment Hall muttered, "I have never heard of the Great Elder's favoritism, there must be something wrong here, you go and check it out for me." ”

"Yes. Song Yungui nodded, and then bowed and exited the hall.
