Volume 1 The Scourge of Ascension Chapter 24 Conspiracy
"Oh, could it be that Elder Ying wants to intercede for Gu Cheng and let Cheng stay out of the matter?"
Ying Xiantian opened his mouth to stop it at this time, which couldn't help but make Cheng Hao feel dissatisfied, he knew very well that if it wasn't for his appearance, I was afraid that after the Gu family came to the Qingcheng faction, there would also be a relationship of interest between the two forces.
"Haha! Where do you want to go, the Gu family's little offering, my Qingcheng faction is not in my eyes. Ying Tianxing laughed, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he didn't mind Cheng Hao's misunderstanding, "Moreover, I can bet with you that after three days, he will still send the children of the family to the Qingcheng faction!"
"Then what does Elder Ying mean?"
Since what happened to Xie Feng back then, the relationship between Cheng Hao and Ying Tianxing has gradually become closer, but Ying Tianxing's habit of liking people's appetites makes him feel a little unbearable.
"You have such a temper, I advise you to find a time to go out for a walk and have some experience, otherwise you will have a good body of cultivation, but you will be used as a gun, haha......"
No matter how anxious Cheng Hao was, Ying Tianxing still said slowly. While laughing, he walked to the back kitchen and brought a pot of wine and a few side dishes.
Cheng Hao picked up the wine glass and drank it all, silently ate the side dishes, and stopped talking, although he was anxious, but after many years of contact with Ying Tianxing, he knew that the more anxious he showed at this time, the more Ying Tianxing liked to sell Guanzi, so he simply ignored him.
"It's boring. ”
Seeing that Cheng Hao ignored him, Ying Tianxing pursed his lips and said, "Don't you want to get that earth spirit fruit?"
"Hehe, I'm not necessarily Ouyang Xu's opponent, but I also have a Gu family master. When the time comes, don't talk about the Earth Spirit Fruit, it would be good to be able to protect yourself. ”
Although he really hopes to get the Earth Spirit Fruit in his heart, Cheng Hao also knows that Ouyang Xu is a long-famous master of strength, and it is unpredictable whether he will win or lose against him. If the head of the Gu family made a move at the same time, then it would be even more impossible for him to get the Earth Spirit Fruit.
"His Gu family knows how to find helpers, won't you look for them? Anyway, the earth spirit fruit is not ripe yet, you might as well follow Gu Cheng and follow them by surprise. ”
When it came to asking Cheng Hao to find a helper, Ying Tianxing even stood up and straightened his chest, causing Cheng Hao's disdain.
"Forget it, I'll go by myself at least to protect myself, and I have to protect you if you go together." ”
The undisguised disdain choked Ying Tianxing, who was drinking.
"Ahem... I'm certainly not talking about myself. He picked up the tablecloth and wiped the wine stains that had spilled on his shirt, "I mean, I can go to the sect and help you ask Elder Huajin to help." ”
Cheng Hao didn't like him to sell his son, and he couldn't stand Cheng Hao's comparison with him for his cultivation. In fact, he is in his early forties and is now in the realm of Grandmaster Xiaocheng, and his qualifications are not bad, but compared to the demonic Cheng Hao, alas, it is okay not to mention it.
"Elder Huajin, will they agree?"
If you can invite a Qingcheng faction's Huajin elder to take action, then things can naturally be done. However, Nangong Que has always been afraid that Cheng Hao is carrying a nine-turn jade pendant, and is afraid that one day Cheng Hao's identity will be revealed and implicate the Qingcheng faction, or even sabotage his plan, so the two sides have maintained a certain distance over the years.
"Hehe, of course, it's hard to say anything else, but I don't think even the head of the family will mind secretly helping you in this matter. ”
Ying Tianxing is mysterious, and there seems to be something in his words.
"Oh, why is Elder Ying so confident?"
Cheng Hao didn't know why Ying Tianxing said this, if this sentence was said by the five elders of the Qingcheng faction, he wouldn't be surprised, but after all, Ying Tianxing was not present at the original agreement with Nangong Que. But why is he so sure?
"Hehe, although Ying doesn't know what the agreement between your head is, so he asked the Great Elder to explain it himself, and let me and others cooperate with all your reasonable behaviors. But since you left the Qingcheng Sect five years ago, the head of the sect, including several Huajin elders, has not taken the initiative to come to find you, and has not even mentioned you. ”
Ying Tianxing picked up the wine glass and drank it one after another, as if he didn't feel that it was enjoyable enough, so he changed it to a large bowl, took a big sip, and then said, "So, if Ying Mou is not mistaken, the agreement between you and the head of the sect must be realized after you reach the innate realm, is it right?"
The words of inference made Cheng Hao secretly frightened, as Ying Tianxing said, he was already very close to the truth.
Elder Ying said with a smile, your head may just cherish Cheng Hao's qualifications and want to cultivate a master for the Qingcheng faction. As for the agreement, the elders should be more concerned. ”
Cheng Hao would not say his promise to Nangong Que, so he smiled and said.
"Cultivating masters, my Qingcheng faction has never lacked any masters, not to mention the dozen or so elders in the sect, just in Qingzhou, there are no less than seven or eight masters in the major counties and counties, and there are more than a dozen grandmasters, but you don't want to say it, and you don't want to ask for it. ”
The more Ying Tianxing spoke, the lower his tone became, perhaps a little drunk, "I understand, with Ying's cultivation, he is not qualified to know about this matter." Cheng Hao, if you can meet the requirements of the head in the future, can you... Help me once?" After speaking, he looked at Cheng Hao quietly, looking forward to his reply.
Looking at him, Cheng Hao was speechless for a long time. In the past five years of contact, Cheng Hao knew that Ying Tianxing was ambitious, but in a sect like Qingcheng Sect, no matter how capable he was, his cultivation was not enough to support his ambitions.
"Good!"
Now that Ying Tianxing has said it to such a point, Cheng Hao no longer beats around the bush. Through Ying Tianxing's words just now, he knew that no matter whether it was right or wrong, the other party had deduced more than just that, so he simply agreed to him. After five years of contact, the friendship between the two has long been more than just relying on the bond of the Qingcheng faction, and has long become a year-old friend.
"Haha... There is a brother's promise, and Ying thanked him first. ”
After getting Cheng Hao's promise, Ying Tianxing seemed to have suddenly changed as if he had suddenly changed his person, laughed loudly, the two drank a few bowls of wine to each other, and they had no worries, and the two talked happily until the night, Ying Tianxing personally went back to Qingcheng to find Elder Huajin, and Cheng Hao also said goodbye and returned to Xu's Medical Hall.
Overnight, he was also thinking about what Ying Tianxing said, after five years of contact, the other party will be able to deduce his secrets to the same level, if someone deliberately investigates himself, I am afraid there will be no secrets anymore.
Zao Wou-ki's cultivation has almost recovered, and he has been in the Qingcheng faction for the past few years, which makes the Six Gates, including those who want to curry favor with the Six Gates and form an opposition to Zao Wou-Ki, have never been able to find clues about him. Cheng Hao would not have appeared if he was not in danger, for himself and for Cheng Hao's safety. The two were not far apart, but they had always relied only on letters.
Cheng Hao knew that he had no cultivation, but he lacked too much experience in walking the rivers and lakes, Gu Cheng's matter was a good example, if he didn't have Ying Tianxing's help to analyze, he would probably pay a heavy price for it.
Moreover, just turning strength into cultivation, under the agreement with Nangong Que, it will not play any role at all, once he can't reach the innate realm for a long time, the other party feels that he can't wait, and when the time comes, he will face not only the six gates and some of the rivers and lakes, but also a Qingcheng faction. This is the worst-case scenario, but it is definitely something that you can't ignore. Therefore, it became particularly urgent to speed up the cultivation speed.
Two days later, as Ying Tianxing said, the elders of the Qingcheng faction found Cheng Hao. This person's name is Ye Ting, one of the five Huajin elders that Cheng Hao had seen in the Qingcheng Sect at the beginning, and his cultivation was second only to Ye Xuan. Five years ago, this person was still a cultivator, and now he has stepped into the peak of his strength just like Ye Xuan back then.
"Elder Ying has already told me what happened, originally this time the Great Elder would come over in person, but considering that he had just broken through the innate not long ago, the head of the sect hoped that he could stabilize his cultivation in the sect, so he arranged for the old man to come here. ”
As one of the witnesses who agreed with Nangong Que back then, Ye Ting was still very friendly to Cheng Hao, and the most important thing was that Nangong Que promised to let them follow him in the future. This also greatly increased their enthusiasm to help Cheng Hao, if Cheng Hao hadn't stayed in Qingzhou City in the past few years, otherwise there would have been a lot of contacts between the two sides.
"There is Second Elder Lao, say hello to Elder Ye Xuan for me. ”
Cheng Hao bowed, he knew a long time ago that Ye Xuan was going to break through the innate nature, but he didn't expect that after five years, the other party had already succeeded.
Ye Ting nodded, and after a polite exchange, the two got up and went out of the city. Just out of the city, it is still the lake, and Gu Cheng has not yet arrived. In order to avoid Gu Cheng's suspicions, Ye Ting hid nearby, and with his cultivation, it was expected that Gu Cheng would not be able to find out.
During this period, Cheng Hao also tentatively made some simple plans with Ye Ting, if it was not necessary, he hoped that Ye Ting would not make a move as much as possible. On the one hand, it is to prove his strength, and on the other hand, he can improve his combat experience faster by fighting strong enemies.
Now that he has cultivated to achieve a small success, he has learned through Ying Tianxing in the past few days that Ouyang Xu, the desperate hand, is also in this realm. But he was empowered by Zao Wou-Ki, so the true qi in his body contained a trace of Zao Wou-ki's innate sword qi, although the combat experience was not as good as the other party, but once he fought, it was expected that Ouyang Xu would not be able to take advantage of anything.
And the most worrying thing is actually the head of the Gu family, although his cultivation is relatively low compared to Cheng Hao, he can also be a strength, if he and Ouyang Xu join forces, it will also be a big trouble. However, back then, Nangong Huang gave himself two cultivator spells, and Xiao Yunyu never knew what to do, just the lightning channeling technique in it was enough to produce an unexpected effect in the battle.
If it really doesn't work, or the other party has other hidden masters, then you have to invite Ye Ting. With all the plans sorted out in his mind, Cheng Hao became more and more calm. When I looked up, I saw a painting boat in the lake slowly driving in the direction of here, but it was Gu Cheng who had arrived.
"Seniors, juniors are late, please atone for your sins!"
Gu Cheng saw Cheng Hao from afar and apologized loudly. Cheng Hao smiled and said nothing, in order to avoid losing many words, he didn't take the initiative to talk about the Earth Spirit Fruit all the way.
"Why don't you see Gu Yutong and the others?"
When he arrived on the other side, seeing that Gu Cheng returned the rented painting boat, but he didn't see the three men and one woman last time, Cheng Hao asked curiously. In fact, he already knew in his heart that Gu Cheng still sent Gu Yutong and the others to the Qingcheng faction a day ago, but he deliberately asked this question to see how Gu Cheng answered.
"The seniors didn't know, this is hundreds of miles away, Gu Cheng is afraid that they won't be able to keep up with the speed of you and me, so he let them set off first two days ago. ”
If it weren't for Cheng Hao's already knowing that they still went to the Qingcheng faction, I am afraid that he would have really been deceived by him, which also confirmed that Ying Tianxing's analysis was indeed correct. At that time, the Gu family can not only use Ouyang Xu to kill themselves and avenge the man in gray, but also continue to use the Qingcheng faction as a backer as a bargaining chip to get more benefits from Ouyang Xu.
