The ninth

As soon as the words fell, before the sect leader could react, Elder Wu, the foreign affairs elder, stood up first, took a few steps towards Jieyin's side, tilted his head to stare at Jieyin, and said very unceremoniously: "Protector of the Dharma, I don't know what kind of strange wind it is today, and it has blown the mouth of 'your old man' open! I wondered, why did the Protector suddenly become so concerned (concerned) about the junior disciple I taught, isn't there something else that cannot be hidden?"

"That's enough! Old Wu, don't make a mistake! Hurry up and sit down for me. The sect leader was greatly displeased, and in a stern tone, he hurriedly stopped Elder Wu's poisonous snake and scorpion-like tongue.

"Elder Wu, as for why Jie Mou made such a request, I have already said it just now, I think Elder Wu you have also heard it, please forgive Jie Mou for not repeating (repeating). If Elder Wu suspects that Jie has other intentions, then you might as well ask Elder Wu to come out in person, I believe that with you coming to the Beast Control Valley to support the aid array, that Tang Dongtuo of our Sword Destroying Hall will definitely be able to save the day and return safely. Jieyin is not arrogant, not impatient, neither humble nor arrogant, squinting and saying slowly.

On and off the stage, including some of the disciples and hall masters of the nine major branches, everyone in the main hall was embarrassed by the scene in front of them. On the one hand, we don't want to see leaders quarrel with each other, and on the other hand, we don't know which side of the argument to support. After all, the Guardian Dharma is the high-level leader of this sect, and his position and power are above Elder Wu, and ordinary sect members and hall masters dare not easily offend. And Elder Wu is the most short-tempered and murderous of the three elders, and he has joined the sect for decades, and he belongs to the patriarchal figure, so he can't afford to be offended.

At this moment, in order to break the embarrassing (silent) situation (atmosphere) of the scene, Hu Baodou, a disciple of the Sword Destroying Hall, stood up bravely and shouted loudly: "Sect Master, Dharma Protector, three elders, please play if you have something to do." The younger one is a disciple of the Sword Destroying Hall, and I have been with my colleague Tang Dongtuo for a long time, and based on my personal observation and judgment of his usual behavior, I don't think he can be a traitor. In the past three years, although he doesn't like to talk very much, but his heart and eyes are very good, in life, in the fight against the enemy, in the practice, repeatedly help the disciples of this hall, this time at the foot of Shushan Mountain to meet the attack of the six major factions, I almost died under the sword of the disciples of Jingxia Villa, if it wasn't for Tang Dongtuo who came forward to save me in time, I didn't have a chance to hold up to the 'Holy Hand' to heal my injuries, maybe as early as the foot of Shu Mountain, or on the way to the 'Sick Hospital', I have already died. Moreover, in the past three years, he has never gone down the mountain alone, if he is really a guest of another faction, no matter how he should go down the mountain to exchange information and report information, right? ”

When the sect leader heard this, some of the doubts (concerns) that had originally emerged in his heart also dissipated (dissipated), and he gave orders to the three elders and Jieyin around him: "Okay, I don't need to say more, I know the situation." The Dharma Protector is the pillar and pillar of the Dharma, so how can he easily leave the mountain? This Seat has to go to the forbidden place to retreat at every turn, and when the Dharma, many matters of the Dharma, big and small, have to be bothered to take charge of the overall situation. Old Wu, otherwise, this seat will assign you to protect Tang Dongtuo's safety, if Tang Dongtuo dies in the Beast Control Valley, then you will come to see you, hum!"

Elder Wu immediately knelt down and pleaded, "Oh, sect master, you can't do it, you can't do it...... Lao Wu, I am already so old, and my exercises have not been improved for many years, and if you let me go, not only will I not be able to protect Tang Dongtuo, but I may not be able to protect myself! Who in this sect does not know, Lao Wu and I are by no means greedy for life and afraid of death, and I am really powerless (I have more than enough heart but not enough strength)! If I have a heavy trust and insult the majesty of this sect, then Lao Wu and I will be a sinner through the ages, and I can't afford this infamy!"

"Since you don't dare to go, then change to Lao Fan, Elder Xu needs to ensure the inspection and dispatch within the sect, and he can't withdraw. "The sect leader had no choice but to reassign Elder Fan to go.

"Sect Master, no! The subordinate exercises are not as good as Elder Wu! The subordinate ......" Elder Fan also stood up, browning sadly and begging the sect leader not to send him.

"Okay, okay, okay——! then you can only go to Jieyin? Okay, Jieyin, you go, remember to return safely. That's all for today, all of them stand down for me!" The Sect Master erupted in an unprecedented rage, a roar of thunder and lightning.

"Obey the order! Sect Master, this Hu Bao brother of the Sword Destroying Hall, can the subordinates take him with him, the two of them, they will have a good idea along the way. Jieyin continued to apply.

"You can make up your own mind about this matter!" said the sect leader, got up and walked away quickly.

In this way, Jieyin led Hu Bao, and the two set off hand in hand, going to the Beast Control Valley to trace Tang Dongtuo's footprints (traces).

As soon as the two of them stepped out of the realm of the Temple of Ten Thousand Annihilation, at the gate of Shushan Mountain, they were stopped by the disciples of the Axe Exterminating Hall who were guarding there.

"Yo, it turned out to be the protector of the Dharma, and the humble position is the protector of the Dharma. Hehe, in recent days, there have been many major incidents in this sect, according to the instructions of the sect leader, the roads in and out of Shushan need to be strengthened, and no one is allowed to enter and leave the scope of this religion at will. Please show the Dharma Protector the token, otherwise you will not be able to let you out of the mountain, and I hope the Dharma Protector will forgive me. The lowly position is also to act on orders, hoping that the Dharma Protector will not make it difficult for the people below. The Axe Slayer disciple tactfully begged for a token.

"It was the sect leader who ordered me to go out of the mountain gate to handle official business, the sect leader may have forgotten about the token and did not give it to me, you can ask in the sect yourself. This is Hu Bao of the Sword Destroying Hall, and he is my retinue. After Jieyin finished speaking, he prepared to pass directly with Hu Bao.

Who knows, the Axe Destroying Hall disciple immediately pulled out the axe from his waist, and together with the other more than ten Axe Destroying Hall disciples on duty at the mountain gate, they blocked Jieyin's way.

"Dharma protector, I can't help it, it's really ......," the Axe Destroying Hall disciple said aggrievedly. As he spoke, the axe in his hand was still shaking.

Jieyin had no choice but to kick on the ground violently, and the more than ten disciples of the Axe Slayer Hall around him immediately rose more than a zhang high, and then fell to the ground on their backs. With the yellow sand and dust rising, Jieyin pulled Hu Bao and quickly pulled away.

For this group of stupid subordinates, Jieyin has lost the patience to explain further.

After being beaten and wrestling, the disciples of the Axe Destroying Hall endured the pain and got up, although they couldn't beat Jieyin, they still strictly followed the death order given by the sect leader. I saw them get up from the ground one by one and rush to the mansion where the sect leader lived.

When he saw the sect leader, he knelt down on his knees on the spot.

"Sect Master, Sect Master, it's not good! Just now, the Dharma Protector pretended to be your edict, and took another person with him, and escaped from the mountain gate. Recently, Elder Xu has been strictly interrogating the whole sect, could it be that the Guardian Dharma is also the eyeliner of sects such as Ethereal Lake or Quexian Island that have been planted within our sect?

"Oh, you're not wrong, hard work. I forgot to give the Dharma Protector token, I know about it. Alright, you can get busy with your go!" the sect leader said lightly.

The man from the Axe Slayer Hall was stunned for a moment, his eyes flickering, and then he showed an expression of frustration, horror, and loss, and stood up, without turning, with his back to the door, and his steps moved backwards.

In the Beast Control Valley, Xiaoyuan, the daughter of the valley owner, has already returned safely for many days. She snuggled comfortably by her father's side, helped him rub his shoulders and back, and enjoyed the carefree family fun.

Obsessive is wearing a shawl, eyebrows raised, and a dark gray cloak, tall and large. Sitting on the chair majestically and motionless, the whole temperament (aura) looks solemn, and his face is still full of traces of vicissitudes.

"Dad, my daughter really wants to know, why did you send Uncle Lan Jia to attack the Temple of Ten Thousand Annihilation this time? Could it be that it was done to free up time for me to rescue Tianzun? Now Uncle Lan Jia has been crushed by the people of the Temple of Ten Thousand Annihilation, and there are no bones left, Dad, aren't you sad?" Xiao Yuan asked with a sad look in his father's eyes.

Who knows, his father, the valley master of the Beast Control Valley, was obsessed, but he didn't answer a word, just looked at the bushes and grass in the distance with dull eyes, and his face was covered with complex expression textures (wrinkles), there were mourning, grief, repentance, and regret......

"Dad, Uncle Lanjia's death, the Temple of Ten Thousand Annihilations is indeed a heinous crime, and it is difficult to escape the blame. However, Dad, have you ever thought that if you hadn't been bent on dominating the world and unifying the Demon Sect, if you hadn't asked Uncle Lanjia to attack the Temple of Ten Thousand Annihilation, then the tragedy wouldn't have happened. Now that we have suffered such heavy losses, what have we gained in addition to rescuing Tianzun? Father, as before, our father and daughter live quietly in the Beast Control Valley, unrestrained and undisputed, isn't it?" Xiao Yuan muttered.

The infatuated student still didn't say a word, although he heard his daughter's question, he didn't say anything.

"Dad, if my mother is still alive, she doesn't want to see you fight with other sects and chase fame and fortune!"

After hearing this, the infatuated student suddenly turned around to leave, without saying hello, without any reason, he rushed straight out of the grass hut and left quickly.

Xiao Yuan watched the burly and vigorous back of the infatuated student leave with a simple and innocent look, and he didn't know whether it was sadness, pain or pain in his heart.

In the heart of the obsessive student, there are too many troubles and secrets hidden, and many old things are unbearable to look back on, and his personality has changed a lot in the past ten years.

Obsessive loves his deceased wife deeply, and whether his deceased wife loved him before her death is another matter.

At his age, he just wants to think about how to work hard and strengthen the sect, so that his descendants will be prosperous for thousands of generations, so his ambition is very large, mainly reflected in the two things of unifying the demon sect and annihilating the old enemies of the righteous sect.
