About ten minutes later, Shanhe arrived at the Honghuang Hall.

Seeing the figure of Shanhe, the elders made an appointment as if they had made an appointment, and made way for him to pass with a brush.

Shanhe came to Nangong Chi slowly with his head down, and knelt on the ground without saying a word.

Looking at the familiar stranger in front of him, Nangong Chi let out a long sigh, and couldn't say a word after a long time.

The venue was quiet and terrifying, and the atmosphere was quite depressing, and the mountains and rivers kneeling on the ground even felt like they couldn't breathe.

Such a terrible silence lasted for two or three minutes, and was finally broken by a strange noise behind him!

When they heard the sound, they saw that many figures suddenly appeared on the mountain road, and they were rushing towards them at full speed.

Seeing this, everyone showed vigilance.

It wasn't until nearly a thousand people arrived at the gate of the main hall that the elders breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the Tun and Mengjie disciples led by Tao Xun had arrived, and it was not an enemy attack.

But he left for half an hour, and as soon as he came back, not only the enemy was gone, but even the illusion of the gods in mid-air was gone, Tao Xun, who led the team, immediately rushed into the crowd and asked:

"Hey, what about the brutes, and Sanke, why are they all gone?"

Seeing Tao Xun running in recklessly, Li Persimmon hurriedly grabbed him and whispered to him in his ear about what had just happened.

After learning the news of the retreat of the coalition army, Tao Xun suddenly smiled, and unconsciously praised three or two sentences.

However, when he heard about Sanke's true identity, he also frowned instantly like other elders, and his eyes also converged on the mountains and rivers in the field.

And the disciples who came with Tao Xun saw that the elders in the hall all had tense faces and solemn expressions, and everyone immediately quieted down.

But driven by curiosity, it's hard for them to remain silent like that.

It didn't take long for each of them to find their own masters, and whispered about what had just happened.

......

"Elder Tao, as the head of the Discipline Academy, how do you think today's matter should be handled?" Seeing Tao Xun arrive, Nangong Chi took the lead in breaking the silence.

"This, this......" Hearing the head of the house ask about himself first, Tao Xun showed a look of embarrassment, thought about it and said:

"It stands to reason that he can ...... Oh no, Shanhe has two crimes: first, he concealed his identity when he went up the mountain, and second, he plotted against our faction in an attempt to help the felons escape from prison. Neither of these crimes is light, and according to the law of the faction, it should be ...... Expelled from the mountain gate. ”

After hearing the words "expelled from the mountain gate", Shanhe's heart chuckled, and his head lowered lower.

And the surrounding elders also showed regret, shaking their heads and sighing with sighs.

However, due to the importance of this matter, and the fact that Shanhe's identity is too special, he is not only a disciple of the head Nangong Chi, but also an old disciple of the traitor Shanfeng, so everyone didn't know how to speak for a while, so they could only stand aside and watch the changes.

Seeing that the head did not express his position, Tao Xun wanted to step aside first, but suddenly remembered something, so he asked at Shanhe:

"By the way, the key to the Spirit Tower...... Are you here?"

Hearing this, Shanhe nodded while taking out the key to the gate of the Zhenling Pagoda and the key to the steel chain that Jiang Nong gave him from the ring, and handed them to Tao Xun's hands:

"I'll give it back to you now. ”

There are many keys to the gate of the Zhenling Tower, and one or two less are not a big deal.

But the key to the stainless steel chain is just like this, if it is hidden by this kid, it will be a big trouble, so seeing that the other party took the initiative to hand over the key, Tao Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could reply, he heard Nangong Chi suddenly ask on the side:

"Shanhe, Shanxue should have been let go by you, right?"

"Not yet. ”

"No?" Nangong Chi said in disbelief:

"The key to the Zhenling Pagoda and the key to the steel chain are in your hands, and you just happened to encounter an attack on the sect, so why don't you do it at such a good time?"

"Because, because ......"

Shanhe didn't have much adaptability, and he felt ashamed in his heart, so he simply told the truth after two words:

"Alas, the disciple let the senior sister go before, but she ...... I went back on my own. ”

"What did you say?"

Hearing this, not only Nangong was puzzled, but everyone on the side also showed confusion:

"She—she's going back by herself? why?"

"Because...... I want to stay and fight, and my senior sister is worried that if she leaves like this, she will cause me to reveal my identity, so she still goes back. ”

"Well, then why do you have to stay?" Xiao Qin, who was standing on the side, said with a little doubt:

"If you save my senior sister from here, won't it be a hundred?"

"That's not going to work!"

As soon as these words came out, I saw that Shanhe immediately raised his head and replied with a firm face:

"The sect is in trouble, as a disciple of Nangong, how can I abandon the sect and run away? Although I am only a junior disciple of the Tun rank, not as powerful as the elders, I also have to do my meager strength. I—I'm not going to run away anyway. ”

Hearing Shanhe say this, Xiao Qin's eyes immediately flashed with a gratifying light, and she felt that the Sanke she knew was back.

But this matter is not something that she Xiao Qin can easily resolve by relying on her personal feelings. In the end, how to deal with it depends on his master's intentions.

Therefore, after listening to Shanhe's explanation, everyone's eyes moved to Nangong Chi's body again.

Since entering the mountain, Nangong Chi's gaze has never left this person, and his brows are tightly twisted together, and he has not let go for even a second.

Look at his eyes again, sometimes hateful, sometimes sad, sometimes approving, sometimes confused......

It is not difficult to see that he is also caught in deep contradictions and entanglements in this matter.

Shanhe is Nangong Chi's third apprentice, although he was not very optimistic about this guy who only has four points of talent at first, but later as he deepened his understanding, he gradually changed his opinion.

Because he found that this son was very similar to himself in many ways! Especially the kindness from the heart and the spirit of never giving up, which made Nangong Chi particularly admire.

So in the years that followed, he really worked this kid. Although it has never been mentioned to anyone, it does feel like it is being groomed for a successor.

But today, when he learned that this son had another identity and the purpose of going up the mountain was to rescue the prisoners, this sudden change instantly knocked Nangong Chi into the ice cave.

Not only was he very sad, but he was also very angry!

He couldn't accept that his apprentice had suddenly become the apprentice of Shanfeng! He couldn't accept that the other party had deceived him for six whole years!

Even if Shanhe saved Nangong Men's life today, in Nangong Chi's opinion, he still couldn't withstand the deception of the past six years.

So until now, his gaze on Shanhe is still so indifferent.
