Chapter Eighty-Five: A Difficult Choice

"Huh, that's not right, since you don't know this, why did you choose to come to Kaifeng Mansion at this time?" Xiao Jing looked at Duan Rui with some puzzlement and asked. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hmm...... In order to hone myself, I didn't carry any communication equipment with me, and after hearing the news of the Hero Conference some time ago, I also came with a mentality of coming to see the world, and I didn't have any contact with the sect. Duan Rui, who was asked by Xiao Jing in a bit of a speech, hurriedly defended himself.

"Huh...... I see, maybe, after we have finished talking about the matter between us, I will take you to meet your father and uncle!" Hearing the concealment between Duan Rui's words, Xiao Jing smiled lightly and said perfunctorily.

"Well, thank you!" Duan Rui replied with a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party didn't want to delve into it.

"Let's get back to the point, this local earthquake was actually caused by a battle, and the location of the earthquake was just above the Taizu Temple in the royal mausoleum, and there were countless secret passages of various formations and forbidden mechanisms in the Taizu Temple, and even if there was a real earthquake, it would be impossible to be harmed. ”

"However, according to various intelligence after the fact, the entire Taizu Temple and the ground within dozens of miles around it were fractured and collapsed to varying degrees, and there was a huge bottomless hole in the core of the Taizu Temple, so the destructive power can only ......be caused by the battle between god-level powerhouses."

Xiao Jing was paying attention to Duan Rui's reaction as he spoke, and seeing the shocked expression on his face, Xiao Jing finally began to believe Duan Rui's previous words a little.

However, in fact, Duan Rui was indeed very shocked now, but the reason why he was shocked was not because he didn't know what had happened, but because he found that what Xiao Jing said was basically consistent with everything released at that time!

With just a trace of clues afterwards, the scene at that time could be restored to such a point, and Duan Rui finally put himself in the shoes of the Heroes Society, which is known as the first scattered cultivation sect in the martial arts, that can be called terrifying intelligence collection and analysis capabilities.

Although Xiao Jing didn't know much about the individual details, the general trend of the incident was basically restored by him, of course, at the last moment, his own shot and the human emperor scroll in the hands of the mysterious black-clothed powerhouse Xiao Jing couldn't guess.

"What do you mean is that there is infighting in the royal family now, and someone deliberately leaked the whereabouts of the artifact, which caused the Taizu Temple to suffer a near-devastating blow......" Duan Rui asked with a slightly frowning expression after listening to Xiao Jing's narration and analysis.

"Yes, the location of the artifact is very secret, and there are ancient formations and dozens of forbidden joint seals, if outsiders don't have accurate information, they will definitely not suddenly appear and attack Taizu Temple, and the strangest thing is that the final whereabouts of the artifact after this battle are still a mystery, and the parties involved seem to be deliberately hiding something?" Facing Duan Rui's questioning, Xiao Jing nodded and replied.

"It's a little weird indeed...... It stands to reason that after such a lot of twists and turns, no matter who gets the artifact, in the end, no matter who gets the artifact, he should announce his victory to the outside world as soon as possible, but at the same time choose to be silent, what does this mean?" Duan Rui lowered his head and whispered after listening to Xiao Jing's words, in fact, there was still a word in his heart that he hadn't said in front of Xiao Jing at the moment.

Idols are just idols after all, and they are not familiar with each other to the extent that they can say everything, and it is better for only themselves to know some things, which is the most basic sense of self-protection.

"Although we are curious about these things, we don't need to pay too much attention to them, and now the things I want to talk to you about are directly related to the life and death of our heroes and your Duanmen, and I hope you can think clearly before giving me an answer. Xiao Jinghuan smiled and shook his head, then looked at Duan Rui with a very serious expression and said.

"The matter of life and death, since it is such an important matter, why don't you go to my uncle and father to talk to me instead? You must know that although I am now the young sect master of the Duan Sect in name, I have never asked about the affairs within the sect!" Duan Rui listened to Xiao Jing's words, his expression was obviously stunned, and then he asked with some doubts.

"Because they are not qualified to speak on behalf of the current Duanmen. Xiao Jing explained with a faint smile.

"My father and uncle can't represent Duanmen, who can represent?Master Benchen or Master Benxin......" Xiao Jing's words made Duan Rui more and more confused when he heard it, all along, the elders in the Tianlong Pagoda were generally the seniors of the sect who had stepped down their duties and specialized in martial arts, although they had a high prestige in the martial arts cultivation world, they generally would no longer represent Duanmen on various occasions and make various decisions, and all affairs inside and outside the Duan Sect were always in the responsibility of the sect master or deputy sect master.

"Neither!, because the person who can best represent Duan Men now is you!" Xiao Jingyao stretched out his right index finger and pointed at Duan Rui and said.

"What...... I...... I'm just the young sect master of the Duan Sect, and I have no right to decide the future fate and direction of the Duan Sect on behalf of my father and uncle. Duan Rui was a little hurried by Xiao Jing's finger, and hurriedly waved his hands and denied it.

"No, you definitely have this qualification, because you are the only person who has been recognized by the Six-Vein Spirit Sword in the nearly 10,000 years since the establishment of the Duan Sect, and the status and value of the Six-Vein Spirit Sword, as the artifact of the Duanmen's Zhen Sect, is far beyond your imagination. Xiao Jing stared at Duan Rui in a firm tone and said word by word.

"Six-vein Spirit Sword ......" Duan Rui looked at Xiao Jing and the man in brocade on the other side of the wine table in a daze, and it was only at this moment that he finally figured out the other party's true intention to find him, it turned out that they were actually coming for the six-vein spirit sword like Master Tianci and them.

"Yes, do you think you are qualified to speak to me on behalf of Duan Men now!" Xiao Jing slowly put away his right hand, and looked at Duan Rui with a smile on his face and said.

"No, it's a matter of the life and death of the sect, and I definitely can't make any ......decisions for the sect without authorization," Duan Rui shook his head firmly and refused.

"Don't be too busy refusing to listen to me explain the situation before you make plans. Xiao Jing waved his hand to interrupt Duan Rui's words and said: "Although the current continent seems to be peaceful on the surface, there is already an undercurrent surging behind the scenes, and there are dangers lurking, and it is not only the imperial royal family that exists in the ghosts, the enemies facing our martial arts righteous path are far more powerful than you think." ”

"As far as the current situation is concerned, it is already unrealistic for anyone to want to be alone, the forces of evil and darkness are ready to move, and the action against the luck of the mountains and rivers is just the beginning, their purpose is to take advantage of the opportunity of the demon invasion of the continent once every five thousand years to disturb the situation of the entire continent, and take advantage of the situation to carry out a complete reshuffle of the entire martial arts. ”

"That is to say, if our four major sects cannot be cohesive, then it will not be long after the end of this demon invasion, and it is very likely that the other three of our four major sects will become history except for the Shaolin Temple. Xiao Jing looked at Duan Rui with a serious expression and explained to him.

"What is the attitude of the other two major sects...... After listening to Xiao Jing's words, Duan Rui felt that his heart was heavy as if he had been pressed against a boulder, and asked in a heavy tone.

"The other two major sects have not yet had formal contact, but we have reached a simple alliance and agreement on the royal side, and when our four major sects establish a union, the royal family will form a formal alliance with us to discuss the plan against the evil forces. Xiao Jing's gaze never left Duan Rui for a moment when he spoke, and his tone became much more sincere.

"This ...... Could I go and see my father and uncle first, I would like to think about it a little longer. To be honest, at this time, Rui's position had begun to become a little shaken, and with the other party's previous accurate analysis and judgment, this made him believe in Xiao Jing's words a little more.

"Of course you can, but I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible, and in the future negotiations with the Nine Dao Sect and the Shaolin Temple, I hope that your Duan Sect can stand with our Hero Society. Xiao Jing nodded and replied......
