The mountains and rivers are quiet and dim under the moon.
In the small house, Lu Chen and Nan An were sitting opposite each other, drinking and talking. When Nan An talked about Ye Ling's origin, he thought of the past with Lu Chen.
The bad news of the demise of the Wanjian Divine Sect spread to all directions. Nan'an, who had been traveling in the southeast, heard the news and rushed back to the sect at starry night. All he could see were countless broken swords and ruins.
The fall of the sect left Nan Anxin in despair. At that time, he had just entered the Immortal Realm. Even if he could take revenge, he could not do anything about it. Each sect even issued a wanted order in the Immortal Way, looking for the surviving members of the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect. He did not dare to stay longer, so he To leave.
But accidentally, he saw a contact code of the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect. He followed the code and found it, and met a group of surviving fellow sect members in a hidden mountain forest.
Among the hundred or so people, they were all old and young. There were a few disciples who had just started, and a few old men were servants with little fighting power. An old woman came forward with a baby in her arms and said: "Elder, this is the sect master's child. When my wife saw the sect master died, she handed the child to me and followed her. Elder, you have to take good care of him. This is the sect master's only bloodline." ah!"
Nan An took the child and looked at the sleeping little face. For a moment, he seemed to have regained hope.
Lu Chen's name was also given by Nan'an. He only hoped that the entire sect would not forget the catastrophe that the Wanjian Divine Sect experienced and return to strength from silence.
In the years that followed, Nan'an led Lu Shen and others to hide in Tibet. He also found some surviving disciples from various places and recruited more disciples. This is how the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect now has more than a thousand members.
Lu Chen personally taught Nan An. When he was at the peak of the Immortal Realm, it was Nan An's enlightenment through cultivation that allowed him to break through and enter the Celestial Realm. For this reason, Nan'an will never be able to break through to the Mingwei realm in this life.
Later, Nan'an brought the members of the Wanjian Shen Sect to the southern region for resettlement, and handed over all affairs to the sect leader Lu Chen. Then he returned to the southeast, attracting the attention of the major sects, making them think that the "remnants" of the Wanjian Shen Sect were just Nan'an is left alone.
No one thought that the members of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect hid in the territory of the Monster Clan in the Southern Territory and spent these hundreds of years safely.
Now, Lu Chen has grown into the leader of the sect. Nan An felt very relieved and said with a smile: "Now that the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect has you as the sect leader, I feel relieved even if I close my eyes. As for Ye Ling, he is one of the younger generations. A rare talent, as long as you and him complement each other, our Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect will surely prosper again one day!"
Lu Chen said hurriedly: "Uncle, you must not think like this. Only when you are here can I feel at ease."
"Children, they never grow up."
After drinking, Lu Chen took out the tea can again: "This is the fairy tea I got from the Eastern Region. I have never been willing to drink it. Today, I will honor my uncle and help you sober up."
"Okay, although I'm not a tea drinker, I still have to taste good tea."
As he spoke, Lu Chen brewed the tea and handed it to Nan An. Nan An took a sip and suddenly felt his mouth was full of flavor. He couldn't help but praise: "Good tea!"
But immediately after, he frowned, and the Tao power around his body began to flow rapidly, and his whole body seemed to be on fire, with white smoke rising.
Lu Chen couldn't help but exclaimed: "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
"poisonous!"
Nan An gritted his teeth and spit out these two words, and then blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and his whole body was shaking.
"Sect Master Lu, well done!"
A man in black flashed into the room and sneered: "Even Nan An, who raised you, can poison and assassinate you. As expected, he has a heart of stone and can achieve great things!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Lu Chen panicked: "This is not ***, I didn't poison you, I didn't poison you at all!"
After hearing this, Nan An felt a surge of excitement in his heart, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he passed out without knowing what happened to him.
"Hahaha,"
The man in black smiled and said, "You did not use me to poison him, but you gave him the tea I gave you."
"Tea? There's poison in the tea!"
Lu Chen was shocked, and then said angrily: "You framed me!"
The man in black sneered: "Who do you think will believe what you say? You personally sent Nan'an to me
The tea is poisoned to death. After dawn, this news will spread throughout the entire Wanjian Sect. How will you, Sect Master Lu, deal with it then?"
"You dare to threaten me?"
"Sect Master Lu has already said it. I just want to teach him a word, which is flexibility. Now that the matter is over, Sect Master Lu just needs to announce that Elder Nan An is sitting in seclusion and does not care about secular affairs, and Sect Master will be fine."
Lu Moran looked at Nan'an with his eyes. The man in black said afterward: "Now the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect is at a critical moment. Sect Master Lu, if the people's hearts are lost at this moment, all the previous achievements will be wasted. Elder Nan'an's greatest wish is, Even if you want to revive the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect, if he knows your intentions, he will definitely understand."
Lu Chen slowly closed his eyes and gradually clenched his hands into fists...
…………
At dawn the next day, Ye Ling, Ren Qiang, and Ming Xiao came to look for Nan'an. Seeing that Ning Changge was not in the Hongling Mountains, Ye Ling was anxious and interrupted to say goodbye to Nan'an before going to look for him again. Ren Qiang and Ming Xiao were from the Southern Region, so they might be familiar with this place, so they planned to go with Ye Ling to help search.
But as soon as the three of them crossed the mountainside, a disciple of the Wanjian Shen Sect stopped them and said, "Where are you going?"
Ren Qiang's face turned pale: "I'm going to see my third brother, do you dare to stop me?"
The disciple hurriedly said: "Elder Nan has gone into seclusion and no one is allowed to come near. You should leave immediately!"
"Retreat?"
The three of them looked at each other in disbelief. Ming Xiao said: "If Third Brother was in seclusion, he would have told us in advance. How could it be so sudden?"
Ren Qiang said: "They must have tricked me, let me teach them a lesson!"
As soon as he raised his fist, Sun Shiyong and Zeng Buren stepped forward behind him and said, "Who gave you the courage to act recklessly in our Ten Thousand Swords Sect? Elder Nan'an is practicing in seclusion. No one is allowed to disturb you. Please come back!"
Ren Qiang was about to have an attack, but Ye Ling held him back. Ming Xiao also stepped forward and pulled Ren Qiang away.
The three of them turned around and left. Ye Ling sent a message to them: "I'm afraid something happened!"
Arriving at the foot of the mountain, Ye Ling said: "Uncle Master, this is definitely not his style. Last night he said he would personally hold a ceremony for me to enter the sect, but today he suddenly has to go into seclusion. This is absolutely impossible."
Ming Xiao frowned and said, "You mean, the third brother was imprisoned by them?"
When Ren Qiang heard this, he said angrily: "These bastards, I'm going to rescue Third Brother right now!"
Ming Xiao waved his hand and said, "Don't be impatient. The matter has not been investigated clearly. How can we make a conclusion? What's more, the Wanjian Divine Sect is also very powerful. The three of us can't get in at all."
Ye Ling nodded and said: "We need to go quietly, and we can't alert others. I think it's better to do it tonight. Please ask the two uncles to behave as usual to avoid suspicion."
Naturally, Ming Xiao was not a problem. Ye Ling's words were meant for Ren Qiang. After hearing this, Ren Qiang nodded quickly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I'm really anxious!"
The day passed in a blink of an eye. At midnight, Ye Ling's figure appeared in the forest in the back mountain, and he saw a dozen disciples standing around the room where Nan An was.
Ye Ling suddenly felt a little weird, but suddenly, there was a loud noise, and Ren Qiang rushed out from the side. His huge body directly knocked several disciples away. The remaining few hurriedly came with their swords, but they could not break them. Kai Ren strong defense.
Ren Qiang roared loudly, causing several people to bleed from their orifices and almost die.
He pushed open the door, only to see no one inside.
Immediately after the surrounding fire, an invisible force came from mid-air and suppressed Ren Qiang, making him unable to move for a moment.
Immediately after, the four elders of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect appeared, forming seals on their hands. Dao patterns appeared in mid-air, and countless lights scattered, trying to capture Ren Qiang with formations.
At this time, a scream suddenly pierced the sky, followed by a strong wind blowing from outside the mountain. Houses collapsed, rocks collapsed, and some disciples were blown away.
The gusts of wind contained Taoist charms, which directly disrupted the formation. Lu Chen appeared in mid-air, and with a wave of his hand, an invisible barrier blocked the violent wind outside the mountain.
Ming Xiao, who transformed into a peng bird, said: "Lu Chen, you harmed the third brother!"
Lu Chen sneered and said, "Mingxiao, uncle Nan'an is in seclusion, and you actually repaid him with kindness. You wanted to take the opportunity to kill him, but now you're beating him up. How can I tolerate you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen drew his sword out of its scabbard. The sword was red in color and was called Chixiao. It was a top-grade Taoist weapon on the earth's level. It was said to be one of the famous swords passed down from generation to generation of the Wanjian Divine Sect.
As soon as Chi Xiao came out, in conjunction with Lu Chen's Celestial Realm cultivation, he slashed down with a sword. The sword energy came vertically and horizontally, and the void was cut into two pieces!
Ming Xiao was startled and hurriedly transformed into a human form, barely dodging the sword, and then headed out of the mountain.
Just as Lu Chen was about to catch up, he remembered that Ren Qiang was still suppressing him below, so he stopped and looked down, but Ren Qiang was missing!
"Where did Ren Qiang go?"
Elder Wei Wenzhong said: "A figure just kidnapped him, but I didn't see clearly who it was!"
"Ye Ling?"
Lu Chen smiled coldly: "As expected of Uncle Nan An, he is someone who is highly valued. He is indeed quite capable."
But in the jungle at the back of the mountain, Ye Ling and Ren Qiang were hiding here, holding back their breath and not daring to act rashly.
Ren Qiang was puzzled: "Why don't we run away quickly?"
Ye Ling said: "They also thought we had escaped now, so the mountains behind are usually safe now. We haven't found our uncle's whereabouts yet, so escaping now will not help."
Ren Qiang grinned: "You kid, I think you are just like Leng Xiucai, a fortune teller. You can play with your head. I can't. I can't turn my head around."
Ye Ling didn't answer. He was thinking about where Nan'an might be since he wasn't in his house.
Suddenly, he saw Lu Chen coming to the back of the mountain in mid-air. He immediately signaled to Ren Qiang. The two of them restrained their auras, making it difficult to notice. If the Celestial Realm monks used their spiritual consciousness to investigate, the two of them would definitely not be able to escape. But Lu Chen didn't expect Ye Ling and the others to stay on the mountain at the moment, so he didn't notice them.
Lu Chen came to a rock in the back mountain, stretched out his hand and pointed, a Taoist door appeared, he stepped in, and then the Taoist door disappeared.
Ye Ling saw it and asked Ren Qiang: "Uncle, can you open that door?"
Ren Qiang shook his head and said: "I don't know how to do it. It is the Celestial Realm monk's understanding of the laws of space that enables him to open such a door. If I get to the Celestial Realm, maybe I can."
Ye Ling frowned after hearing this. He guessed that Nan'an was behind that door, but if he couldn't get in, he wouldn't be able to save people.
…………
Inside the door was a dark stone room. Nan An was sitting cross-legged on a futon. Seeing Lu Chen walk in, he said, "Come to see if I am dead, or do you want to send me on my way?"
Lu Chen said: "Uncle, I was forced to do nothing, but I never had any intention of harming you. Now that your cultivation is ruined, I am announcing to the outside world that you are in seclusion, which can be regarded as a loss of face for you. In the future, I will re-establish the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect. Take it back to the Eastern Region and find an opportunity for you to come out."
"Hmph, why didn't I think that I would raise a white-eyed wolf like you who repays kindness with revenge!"
