Bai Zhizheng was not stupid. He had just been dazzled by the opportunity. Now that he heard Zou Yanwen's words, he couldn't help but start to hesitate. Qingyun behind him also looked at Zou Yanwen with admiration.
Regardless of whether his character is ruthless or arrogant, being able to resist the temptation of interests and analyze the pros and cons from all aspects of the situation is worthy of his high regard.
Of course, like Zou Yanwen, how could Bai Zhizheng, who had cultivated in the Yuanhua realm, be hesitant? I saw him blinking his eyes and said calmly:
"What do you think, Senior Brother Zou?"
Seeing Bai Zhizheng kicking the ball to him, Zou Yanwen didn't show the slightest surprise or displeasure on his face. He first looked deeply at Luo Yixian, who still had a harmless look on his face, and then replied calmly:
"You and I are both the leading disciples. Although I am the first leader in name, I cannot completely order you and your followers to do anything that goes against your wishes. But since you asked me, Then I can only express my opinion.”
After a pause, Zou Yanwen raised his eyebrows, looked at Luo Yixian, and said calmly:
"I, Zou Yanwen, and the Haiyou Sword Sect disciples I lead, voluntarily gave up the opportunity for the first wave to enter, and waited until most of my colleagues arrived before entering together. Do you have any objections?"
"I will obey Senior Zou's order!"
This uniform answer made Qingyun behind Bai Zhizheng extremely surprised. Of course, these answers were limited to the group of monks from Zou Yanwen's side, but this also made him start to re-examine this person.
At this time, Bai Zhizheng's uncertain expression seemed to slowly soften. He gritted his teeth, clasped his fists at Zou Yanwen and said sternly:
"Senior Brother Zou, if no master enters during the seven days when the small secret realm is opened, we will have three months to look for opportunities with peace of mind. There will be several opening opportunities in the future that we can take the opportunity to leave, and the sect will surely have them at that time. The senior masters have come to assist us, and the Immortal Sword Sect will not just sit back and watch our disciples of the Haiyou Sword Sect being robbed."
After a pause, Bai Zhizheng glanced at the monks present at Haiyou Sword Sect with a burning gaze, and said passionately:
"This opportunity must not be missed, it will never come back! I, Bai Zhizheng, am not seeking promotion, I just want to lead my brothers to have a better life and make the road ahead longer, so I must not give up this great opportunity. If senior brother really has no intention Go, then let me be your pawn, senior brother!"
Mr. Bai's words not only made everyone's eyes blazing again, but also made the monks he led and even the monks at Zou Yanwen's side look at him with admiration for his loyalty, which was absolutely perfect.
As if he already knew what Bai Zhi was about to say, Zou Yanwen still looked that arrogant, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, as if he smiled disdainfully, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
Just seeing the longing eyes of the monk on his side, he sighed helplessly, glanced deeply at Luo Yixian next to him again, finally nodded, and said to Bai Zhizheng:
"Okay, since Junior Brother Bai insists on entering first, I can no longer be timid. Well, when we arrive at the entrance, we will discuss the specific time and arrangements, when and how many times we will come out, etc. how?"
Bai Zhizheng was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly replied:
"Okay, follow senior brother's arrangements!"
"Well, by the way, Junior Sister He Juan, I have wronged you this time. Now return to the sect immediately and report the results of our discussion to the sect master and the elders, and ask them to pick us up at the entrance before the next opening of the small secret realm. Exit."
As soon as Zou Yanwen spoke, the only female middle-aged monk in Haiyou Sword Sect's group, Zou Yanwen's lone follower, immediately refused:
"How can this be done, Senior Zou, this little secret realm..."
However, she was interrupted by Zou Yanwen with an impatient look on her face just in the middle of her words. She heard him shout in a rather unhappy voice:
"Where does all this nonsense come from? What role can your early stage cultivation in the Hundred Meridians Realm play in it? Get back here!"
After saying that, Zou Yanwen waved his hands rudely and chased people away. The middle-aged female cultivator named He Juan was so angry that his face turned purple due to his scolding in front of everyone, but she couldn't get angry yet, so she had to stamp her feet. , turned around angrily and returned to the teleportation formation.
People from Haiyou Sword Sect looked at me and I looked at you, and they all saw doubts in each other's eyes.
Although He Juan's cultivation level is not extremely high, she is still a master of the Hundred Meridians Realm, but she is much stronger than the rookies like them in the Lingyin Realm. It is really disappointing that such a mainstay was driven back by Zou Yanwen. People are confused.
Although Bai Zhizheng remained silent, he knew very well what Zou Yanwen was worried about.
After all, as the first wave of monks to enter, they are still the most powerful team. While they snatch opportunities from others, they also take huge risks.
However, as soon as He Juan left, Bai Zhizheng whispered a few words to the follower Zhao Xing beside him without leaving any trace, and then said loudly:
"Senior Brother Zou is right as he said. The experience in the Little Secret Realm is dangerous and unpredictable. We should make some preparations in advance. I also have to learn to have some backup. Then Zhao Xing, you will go back with He Juan and make the decision that Senior Brother Zou made before." Let’s report it to the elders of the sect together.”
Although everyone didn't understand what Zou Yanwen and Bai Zhizheng were doing and why they each sent a capable general back to the sect at the same time, they were all aware of the overt and covert struggle between them, and they all seemed to take it seriously.
Only Zou Yanwen and Qingyun's eyes flashed with a strange light at the same time, while Luo Yixian quickly concealed the look of pity on his face.
He Juan and Zhao Xing were assigned to leave. It was just an insignificant episode. It didn't take long for the Haiyou Sword Sect and the others to arrive at an open square where Ling Jue Palace was stationed.
The entrance to the small secret realm was not too far away from the station. Luo Yixian pointed a little, and Zou Yanwen and Bai Zhizheng knew the general direction.
Since the distance is short, Ling Jue Palace will naturally not provide any means of transportation for its old rivals to use. Fortunately, they all come with flying beasts, which is much faster than walking on two legs.
Luo Yixian's cultivation level is even worse than that of Bai Zhizheng, and Zou Yanwen, who has always been arrogant, will not be polite to him. If he were not the future leader of Ling Juedian, Zou Yanwen's character would not take the opportunity to humiliate them both. That's really a lot of face.
Fortunately, Luo Shaozong didn't know whether it was because of his bad eyesight or his good nature. He didn't notice Zou Yanwen with his eyes raised to the sky, and when Zou Yanwen asked a question, he was able to greet him just right without caring at all. , this kind of soft persimmon is really rare.
After a few polite words with Bai Zhizheng, he reluctantly waved goodbye to the mighty group of more than 20 people. This kind of acting was comparable to that of an actor.
It wasn't until the figure of them riding the alien beast turned into a black dot as small as dust in the sky that the smile on Luo Yixian's face slowly faded away. At this time, a very incongruous trace appeared on his gentle face. Feeling gloomy and helpless, he shook his head and sighed bitterly:
"Hey, Senior Brother Zou, Senior Brother Zou, you are really..."
However, Luo Yixian did not continue speaking, his face became more solemn, and he ordered to the disciple beside him:
"Go and tell the sect leader that the people of Haiyou Sword Sect are very vigilant. The temporary plan has been cancelled, but the original plan remains unchanged. In addition, it is necessary to enter the small secret realm as soon as possible to arrange the formation arranged by the lord. At the same time, please hurry up Send experts here so that they can take care of the fellow Taoists of Haiyou Sword Sect for us, and we must kill Zou Yanwen and Bai Zhizheng, especially Zou Yanwen! If this person is not eliminated, he will definitely become a scourge for our Lingjue Palace in the future!"
"Yes! I will obey Shaozong's instructions!"
With eyes full of reverence, the monk immediately rushed to the mountain gate of Ling Jue Hall and reported to the old sect leader Luo Yinge.
"Haiyou Sword Sect, Haiyou Sword Sect, you relied on the Immortal Sword Sect as your backer to bully me, Lingjue Palace, for thousands of years. Now is it time for us to collect some interest? I'll kill you two first. Core disciples with a bright future, let’s see if your popularity can still be so prosperous! Hmph!”
After a cold snort, Luo Yixian, who had just looked angry, put on a springy smile, and trotted towards the teleportation array, ready to welcome the next wave of guests.
In the sky, there are flying alien beasts.
Looking at Qingyun's face filled with sorrow, Kuai Jian, who is more simple-minded, couldn't help turning his head and asked:
"What's wrong, little brother Yun, I saw a solemn look on your face when I left just now. Are you scared? Haha!"
Hearing this, Qingyun finally woke up from his deep thoughts and quickly smiled and said:
"Haha, Brother Kuai noticed it. It is said that there are many dangers in the small secret realm. There are many extinct ancient beasts, and there are also the temptations of so many natural and earthly treasures. Apart from himself, they are all enemies. Of course Qingyun is a little nervous ah."
Kuai Jian laughed, shook the reins in his hands, and curled his lips and said:
"So we have to follow the right person. You see, we follow Mr. Bai. He eats meat. We don't say that we will definitely get a bite, but we will always drink the soup. Besides, Mr. Bai never treats his own people badly. Let's follow him. He has a better future than joining any other sect!"
How smart is Qingyun? He immediately heard the implication of Kuai Jian's words, but he had no intention of being someone's little brother now, so he pretended to be confused by laughing.
Kuai Jian and Huang Tianzhong have always taken good care of our "five good boys", on the one hand because Qingyun is really outstanding, and on the other hand because the three of them have indeed had a life-long friendship.
Most importantly, they all believed that the smart Qingyun would make the right choice in following Bai Zhizheng, so they naturally regarded him as their little brother.
As the saying goes, whoever gets closer to the water tower gets the moon first. They are both very young. If there is no great opportunity in this small secret realm, their cultivation level will basically reach the early stage of the Hundred Meridians Realm at most.
But at such a young age, Qingyun has already reached the late stage of Lingyin Realm and has a bright future. Forging such a good relationship when they are young may not be a bad thing for them.
As for Qingyun, who has not expressed his position yet, Kuai Jian just thinks that he is a young man who cannot understand the meaning behind his words, so he will not say more. After all, Master Bai has given instructions that everything must wait until he leaves the small secret realm alive.
Seeing that the other party stopped talking, the smile on Qingyun's face slowly disappeared, and the sad look just now slowly reappeared.
He and Bai Zhizheng both guessed the reason for sending He Juan back.
