Jiang Chong became the senior disciple of the Liutian Sect at the age of sixteen. Responsible for managing all disciple affairs. In the eleven years since he became a senior disciple, he has experienced eleven disciple competitions, and each time he had to accept numerous challenges.
There are one hundred and seventy-six people on the current disciple list of the Liutian Sect. Without exception, these people have challenged Jiang Chong. But he did it without failure. While taking charge of many scattered and complicated things, he achieved this result because of his high talent and good birth.
The efforts he put in were indescribable to outsiders.
From the elders of the Liutian Sect to the preparatory disciples who have not yet obtained formal disciple status, all are sincerely convinced of the identity of Senior Brother Jiang Chong. And Jiang Chong's ability is worthy of becoming the leader of the Liutian Sect in the future.
Linyue Lake,
Jiang Chong stood on the shore. Linyue Lake was very busy at this time. Many disciples of the Liutian Sect wearing purple robes and young preparatory disciples were searching every piece of land.
At Jiang Chong's feet, a pool of dark red blood made Jiang Chong frown deeply. His eyes were like a torch, and he looked at the sky in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
He did not show any anxiety. The disciples looking for Han Sheng had been divided into three groups in an orderly manner. One group was carefully exploring near Linyue Lake, one group was making secret visits inside Liutian City, and the other group was outside Liuitian City. Search for traces of Han Sheng on the road ahead.
It was already approaching evening, and the sunset reflected the surface of Linyue Lake, as if a fire had been set on Linyue Lake.
Han Sheng is Jiang Chong's senior brother who grew up together. The first requirement for a formal disciple of the Liutian Sect is to be over twenty, and there are also some cultivation requirements. Both Jiang Chong and Han Sheng became official disciples at the age of ten because of their extraordinary talents. Among the official disciples at that time, they were the only two who were similar in age. Therefore, the relationship between the two is very good.
"Jiang Chong!"
A familiar old man's voice came from behind Jiang Chong. He turned around quickly and saw an old man with a childish face and white hair, wearing a luxurious golden robe, walking slowly with his hands behind his back.
"I've met Elder Qin!"
Jiang Chong showed great respect to the old man, because Elder Qin was the same generation as his maternal ancestor, and he had long been living in the Elder Pavilion of the Liutian Sect and had no interest in worldly affairs.
But Han Sheng's master was the biological son of Elder Qin. Now that something happened to his disciple, Elder Qin couldn't sit still.
"I heard about Han Sheng. Who dares to touch my disciples of the Liutian Sect here! Find out who provokes our Liutian Sect before sunrise tomorrow!"
"Yes, Jiang Chong will definitely try his best!"
Elder Qin nodded solemnly, then turned around and left with a wave of his sleeves.
Jiang Chong felt vaguely puzzled. Although Han Sheng was his disciple, Elder Qin seemed a little too impatient. According to what my grandfather said, Elder Qin is most famous for his calm and reserved temperament. It seems to be different today. Is it because Elder Qin is older and has relatives from another generation?
Shaking his head slightly, Jiang Chong threw these nonsense thoughts out of his mind. Stay at Linyue Lake until the crescent moon rises, and a light shines in the center of the lake.
When Jiang Chong saw that little light, his expression changed, and he hurriedly called a disciple and asked:
"Is there someone in Huxin Pavilion? What's going on!"
The disciple's face turned pale and he was suddenly at a loss. However, seeing Jiang Chong's increasingly cold expression, he could only tell everything he knew.
"What! Han Sheng is actually putting an ordinary person under house arrest in Huxin Pavilion! What are you doing!"
After Jiang Chong listened to the disciple's story, he was instantly furious. Han Sheng was actually doing something behind his back that he didn't know about. Putting ordinary people under house arrest is an evil thing that cannot be tolerated by justice! If it is known to the righteous sect members, the Liutian Sect will face a situation that will be criticized by thousands of people.
Jiang Chong immediately asked someone to drive a boat to the Huxin Pavilion to pick up the ordinary woman. Later, on second thought, Jiang Chong boarded the boat by himself.
Passing through Linyue Lake, where the moonlight was filled with silver light, Jiang Chong did not wait for the boat to dock, but he had already taken off into the air, leaped about three feet and landed on the platform of the lake center pavilion.
The lights of the three huts in the center of the Huxin Pavilion were extinguished the moment Jiang Chong stepped onto the platform. Jiang Chong's face changed slightly and he hurried forward.
The sound of footsteps filled the Huxin Pavilion, and Jiang Chong's face was extremely gloomy. There were actually many warriors in the Huxin Pavilion. Needless to say, those who turned off the lights couldn't be their own!
Jiang Chong pulled out the sword at his waist. Through the moonlight, he had already seen a small boat on the platform of Huxin Pavilion opposite him, and several black figures were rushing towards the small boat.
Those black shadows were very fast, but Jiang Chong was even faster. He turned into a phantom under the moonlight and passed through the Huxin Pavilion, which was more than ten meters wide, with just one breath.
Jiang Chong stopped in front of those black figures. Without saying a word, the cold light of the sword shadow was cut. The two black figures were slashed before they could resist it. Before the two of them fell to the ground, a black figure behind them reacted very quickly, with both feet. Kicked two unknown shadows into Linyue Lake.
And this black shadow threw something on its shoulder directly towards Jiang Chong. Jiang Chong intuitively felt that this was the woman under house arrest in Huxin Pavilion, so he raised his scabbard and blocked it in front of him.
Sure enough, a weak body hit Jiang Chong's scabbard. Jiang Chong used a little force and the body was gently lowered.
And the black shadow took the opportunity to jump into the lake from one side.
There were three black shadows in total, all of whom were not high in cultivation, but the last one was particularly decisive, and Jiang Chong's idea of capturing the enemy alive immediately came to nothing.
But he squatted down, carefully looked at the woman who fell on the ground, and after looking at her for a moment, he picked her up and carried her on his back.
The purpose of those three people was to take away this woman, which meant that they could get the answers they wanted from this woman.
At the same time, under the peaceful surface of Liutian City, there is hidden turmoil.
The disciples sent by Jiang Chong were conducting overt and covert investigations throughout Liutian City, and such a small group of disciples came to an abandoned courtyard in Liutian City.
There were signs that someone had been in the courtyard, and then the most astute of the three preparatory disciples of the Liutian Sect realized that he had found a clue. The three of them were about to leave, but they saw Liu Xin looking at the three of them with a grin at the entrance of the deserted courtyard.
Although the three preparatory disciples of the Liutian Sect had been practicing for several years and were much older than Liu Xin, it only took Liu Xin less than ten moves to defeat them.
Liu Xin clapped his hands and walked into a hidden hut in the courtyard, where Xuesheng was standing.
Han Sheng, who looked pale, had already woken up, leaning against the wall. He looked at Liu Xin and Xuesheng in front of him without saying a word. His eyes were staring straight at Xuesheng, filled with hatred.
"There were a few brats outside, and I took care of them. How can I say that you, the evil young master, have a mouth that can't be pried open?"
Although Liu Xin said it lightly, his eyes looked at Han Sheng with a strong threat.
Xuesheng said nothing, but looked at Han Sheng calmly. He knew that Liu Xin's words just now were actually making Han Sheng speak.
Sure enough, when Han Sheng heard the words "Young Master of the Evil Sect", his expression suddenly changed. He looked at Xue Sheng with horror in his eyes.
"You...you are the young master of the evil sect?!"
Han Sheng spoke, his voice hoarse.
Xue Sheng did not answer Han Sheng's question, but asked her own question:
"Where is the little girl you captured being imprisoned?"
Han Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, but the smile was full of ridicule.
"I said that you two are so young, how could you have such heaven-defying cultivation. If you are disciples of the evil sect, it would not be surprising. But if you want to know where those little girls are being held, then there must be one of them It’s very important to you! Anyway, I’m dead like this, so let me tell you that the upper echelons of the Liutian Sect must have known that I’ve been missing for so long, and in order to avoid future troubles, those little girls have probably been dealt with!”
Han Sheng's speech was very slow, but at the end he suddenly picked up speed and shouted in an almost crazy tone.
When Liu Xin heard the last sentence, his face suddenly turned ferocious, and he rushed forward, punching Han Sheng in the ear, and a muffled sound came.
"I advise you... tell me quickly, otherwise you will not be able to withstand the evil methods!"
Looking at Liu Xin's angry face at close range, Han Sheng's pale face suddenly turned red. He smiled crazily and said:
"Seeing you like this, my hand seems worth breaking!"
"you!"
Liu Xin grabbed Han Sheng's neck, and veins popped up on his own neck. Liu Xin used strength, and Han Sheng's face instantly turned red:
"If you don't tell me, I will destroy all your nine tribes!"
Liu Xin's words were like a voice from hell. Han Sheng was stunned for a moment when he heard the words. The madness in his eyes began to fade away, and finally his reason returned.
...
Liu Xin and Xuesheng put on the clothes of the three preparatory disciples of the Liutian Sect and hurriedly left the small courtyard.
"Quick, it's just ahead! The three junior brothers have been in the small courtyard for a long time and haven't come out yet!"
Not long after they left, several Liutian Sect disciples rushed into the small courtyard and saw three unconscious disciples in the courtyard.
These disciples looked at each other, and what surprised them even more was that they found Senior Brother Han with a broken hand in a small room in the courtyard. He had been missing for a long time.
"Who dares to hurt my Liutian Sect disciples! Jiang Chong, you must catch these people!"
Elder Qin's beard trembled in anger and he dropped the tea cup in his hand.
Jiang Chong glanced at Han Sheng, who had fallen asleep after treatment, and helplessly ordered his disciples:
"Take Junior Brother Han to rest."
Then he ordered:
"Disciples of the Liutian Sect, listen to the order. All disciples search the city for two young men in red and white. These two are extremely cunning and powerful. When you find them, you will blow the arc whistle. Don't show off!"
The following disciples all agreed and then left in a hurry.
Jiang Chong turned around and looked at Elder Qin. Elder Qin nodded to him, with anger still lingering on his face, and he said viciously:
"Han Sheng just said a few words and fell into a coma. What do you think of the identities of the two young men, red and white?"
"Elder Qin, Junior Brother Han is not weaker than me, but these two people captured Junior Brother Han alive without alerting the disciples guarding the perimeter of Linyue Lake. But Junior Brother Han said that these two people were teenagers. I think This is impossible, these two people may be young-looking seniors."
Elder Qin's eyes flashed with thought, and he said after a long time:
"There shouldn't be these two figures in Lan Yin Mansion. Are they really disciples of the evil sect? But the evil sect is the leader of the demonic path. How could he come to a small place like Lan Yin Mansion. Jiang Chong, you must find the person who hurt your junior brother and send him to prison. Come to me!”
"Yes, disciple, I obey!"
Elder Qin left angrily, leaving Jiang Chong alone with a cold face.
Elder Qin's reaction surprised him, it was different from his usual calm demeanor. But the two people who broke off Han Sheng's hand worried him even more. Regardless of whether they were evil disciples or not, he would not let these two people go, but there was a faint feeling of worry in his heart, which made him feel confused for the first time since he was a child. The source of this confusion was naturally the young woman.
How could there be incidents involving ordinary people within the sect?
He thought about this for a long time, until the sky turned white. He was ready to stop thinking about useless things, so he got up and left.
Just when Elder Qin was throwing the tea cup angrily, Liu Xin and Xuesheng had already taken advantage of the darkness to reach a tall building in Liutian City. Inside the gate of this tall building, there were a group of more than ten Liutian sects wearing purple robes. The disciples filed out and dispersed into Liutian City.
Liu Xin glanced at the tall building in front of him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a fierce light in his eyes.
"I didn't expect that the Liutian Sect would be so cunning that they would hide those girls in the Liutian Pavilion!"
After hearing what Liu Xin said, Xuesheng's hand holding the sword became harder and he said:
"It seems that this matter is related to the high-level officials of the Liutian Sect. We should be careful."
Liu Xin glanced at the sword in Xuesheng's hand and said:
"Hmph, even if this matter is related to the entire Liutian Sect, so what? If you give me your sword, I can penetrate it with a single sword!"
"Arrogant! Based on my understanding of your righteous sects, you righteous sects claim to be upright and upright, but every sect and sect shows one hand and hides another. Although the Liutian sect is not a big sect, on the surface it is just a great elder. But there must be a group of old monsters hidden behind it."
"Haha, if you put it like that, my righteous way is just the behavior of a villain."
"You know."
"You know what? The word "righteous way" means that the heart should be upright and the way should be clear. It does not mean that you have to use a fixed way of doing things. Just like me, I like to uphold justice, act chivalrously, and do not stick to trivial matters. "
"You? Haha!"
"You're laughing your ass off!"
Seeing Liu Xin getting anxious, Xuesheng quickly interrupted him and said:
"Okay, Han Sheng said that those little girls are being locked up in the secret room under the Liutian Pavilion. Let's hurry up."
"Walk!"
After saying that, Liu Xin took the lead, followed closely by Xuesheng. With his sister in front of him, Liu Xin could forget everything.
In fact, Liu Xin and Xuesheng were so bold and dared to enter the enemy's base camp alone, all because they were highly skilled and brave people. In terms of level, the sects where Liu Xin and Xuesheng belong stand at the pinnacle of the entire martial arts world.
As for the Liutian Sect, at most it is a popular sect that reaches up from the foot of the mountain and does not reach the mountainside.
Moreover, both Liu Xin and Xuesheng were little overlords who had been in and out of the forbidden areas of the martial arts sects located on the top of the mountain since childhood, so naturally they would not take Liutian Pavilion, the forbidden area of the Liutian sect, seriously.
Liutian Pavilion is the most majestic place in Liutian City. No one has dared to offend this place for decades. Therefore, Liutian Pavilion does not even have a gatekeeper, and the open door is only ajar during the monthly Liutian Sect meetings.
Liu Xin and Xuesheng drove straight in, their figures were nimble, and it was the darkest time in the morning. To ordinary people, if they looked closely, they would just see two blurry shadows passing by.
Entering Liutian Pavilion, the structure inside has long been known from Han Sheng. Liu Xin successfully found the secret door on the first floor of Liutian Pavilion. After opening it, there was a dark passage leading underground.
The passage sloped downward at a large angle. Liu Xin ignored the darkness and plunged in at once. Xuesheng followed closely behind, but the sword in her hand was already lying in front of her.
The downward passage was no more than ten meters before a corner appeared. Liu Xin almost ran into it. At the last moment, he struck a palm against the wall and was able to turn.
And this muffled sound made Xue Sheng behind him frown.
Why are you so reckless today?
Liu Xin advanced more than ten meters, and there was another sharp turn. However, this time he was prepared, stabilized his body in advance, and waited until Xuesheng arrived.
"There's something weird about the passage here."
"You are weird. You were rash just now!"
Xuesheng sounded a little unhappy.
Liu Xin hummed, and then said:
"That's why I said weird. My Holy Sect has a secret method. I have used elixir to wash my eyes since I was a child. I can see very clearly in the dark. When I first entered this passage, I could see several broken hairs on the ground. , but as I approached the corner, I couldn’t see anything.”
After hearing this, Xuesheng immediately remembered that Demon Lord once told him that the Holy Sect had a medicinal garden. There are holy medicines that are unique in the world, and the Holy Sect also has some prescriptions handed down from ancient times. Together with these precious holy medicines, the Holy Sect has many medicines with magical powers.
"Do you know what caused your eyes to malfunction?" Xuesheng asked.
"Since that turn, I can no longer see clearly. There must be some light-absorbing paint applied in this passage. I can smell the unique smell of some plants."
"The Liutian Sect still has some skills!" Xuesheng whispered.
"Let's go, no matter what door or door, I can go!"
Liu Xin urged and walked forward.
Xuesheng's sword was slightly pointed forward, one step behind Liu Xin. Although the sight was not good, both of them had surprisingly good ears, and it was extremely quiet here, enough for them to listen and identify.
Next, the two of them passed several sharp turns. They felt that this place was getting weirder and weirder. Some of the following turns were upward and some downward. After this journey, the two of them didn't know whether their location was underground or above ground.
Not long after, the two of them came to a corner again. As soon as they turned this corner, Liu Xin suddenly fell down, while Xuesheng dodged to one side and pressed her whole body against the wall.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
A series of sounds of powerful crossbows came from a distance, and then a torch suddenly lit up, and then there was the sound of torches being lit one after another.
The originally dark passage suddenly became brighter, and this change caused Liu Xin and Xuesheng, who had adapted to the darkness, to close their eyes instantly.
Stimulated by the bright light, the two became temporarily blind.
What's even worse is that the crossbow arrows fired by the powerful crossbow have already arrived.
As soon as Liu Xin lay down on the ground, the fire light came on, and several crossbow arrows almost flew past Liu Xin's scalp.
Xuesheng was even more in danger. He had tested two crossbow arrows, but several crossbow arrows followed closely. At this time, he was already leaning against the wall on one side of the passage. Fortunately, he raised his wrist and blocked it with his long sword in front of him. With two clicks, he blocked the crossbow arrows.
Liu Xin and Xuesheng escaped this wave, and their eyes were temporarily blinded. However, there was another mechanical sound in the distance. This was the sound of a crossbow arrow being loaded.
Liu Xin's eyes were tightly closed. Naturally, he would not surrender without mercy, because he and Xuesheng acted suddenly, and it was impossible for anyone to know their move in advance. Therefore, it is impossible for the people here to ambush in advance, so these people can only ambush here all the time.
And this actually shows that the end of the passage is indeed where his sister is hidden.
What Liu Xin could think of, Xue Sheng could naturally think of, but what he thought of was that this time, he might have been deceived by that Han Sheng. The end of the passage may be where his junior sister is hidden, but it may also be a place where important things are stored and therefore protected by powerful force. Han Sheng's purpose was to trick them into coming. Encountering an ambush of this level, even a master of cultivation like Han Sheng would not be able to escape unscathed.
In fact, no matter who has the idea, Liu Xin or Xuesheng, they have two choices, advance or retreat. But they both chose at the same time, move forward!
Fight your way out!
Xuesheng clung to the wall, but he blocked all the crossbow arrows with his sword. His pace looked unpleasant, but he was as elusive as a phantom. There were three consecutive waves of crossbow arrows, but only a few of them required him to block them with his sword. Several disciples of the Liutian Sect who were more than ten meters away from the passage could only watch helplessly as Xuesheng got closer and closer but were unable to pinpoint the opponent's position.
In fact, Liu Xin's guess was correct. These disciples of the Liutian Sect were permanently stationed here, and behind them was the forbidden area of the Liutian Sect. This passage is painted with special paint. The firelight emitted by ordinary torches here will be absorbed by the special paint and then become dark. And their hands have been specially treated, and the brightness is even brighter than ordinary torches. The design of this passage is to mess with the attacker's perception, then use a sudden bright light to stimulate the opponent's eyes, disrupt the opponent's five senses, and then kill him with a powerful crossbow.
This method could have been enough to stop a master who had achieved some level of martial arts skills.
But in front of Liu Xin and Xuesheng, even if they lose their eyes, they can still crack it!
Liu Xin was like a giant red snake, gliding quickly on the ground. The crossbow arrows of the Liutian Sect disciples could not hit him at all, and they could only follow his route and plant a row of 'fences' behind him.
And Liu Xin moved like a fish out of water, as if he was very familiar with the structure here and could move freely without using his eyes.
These Liutian Sect disciples are also senior disciples who have been practicing for more than twenty years. He is a master outside, but he is a little helpless when facing two teenagers.
The crossbow arrows are useless, so you can only rely on your own strength to speak.
Several disciples, led by a senior brother, rushed forward with weapons in hand, thinking that we couldn't beat you two blind men!
Unfortunately, Liu Xin was ruthless. With one swing of the woodcutter, the powerful force directly bent the weapons in the hands of the two Liutian Sect disciples. The two of them could not withstand the force and fell hard to the side of the passage. on the wall.
"A bunch of bullshit dare to use such despicable tricks. How can the Liutian Sect be considered a righteous sect?"
Liu Xin cursed loudly, and while cursing, he rushed towards several other Liutian Sect disciples with a hatchet in his hand.
Xuesheng, on the other hand, was much quieter. The sword seemed to have grown eyes as it stabbed at the vital points of the four Liutian Sect disciples. The four Liutian Sect disciples could not keep up with the speed of Xuesheng alone. Xuesheng seemed to have the art of clones in his hands. As time passed, the four disciples of the Liutian Sect began to focus on one thing and not the other.
"You said before that the righteous way refers to the way of mind, not the method of doing things, but now you refute your own words, what a righteous disciple!"
Xuesheng gained the advantage and had time to start mocking Liu Xin.
Liu Xin's hatchet blade had several big holes in it, but several Liutian Sect disciples in front of him fell to the ground screaming. The least injured among them had at least three broken ribs and one arm bone.
"Hey, if you had used swords, you would have been on your way a long time ago!" Liu Xin said to the several Liutian Sect disciples lying on the ground. Then he turned around with slightly squinted eyes and watched the four Liutian Sect disciples lying on the snow. Sheng stood at his feet and said with a grin:
"I have already said that I pursue whatever I want, and naturally I can take it back at any time."
"Okay, it's not advisable to stay here for too long. Quickly find out if Junior Sister is being held here."
Liu Xin and Xuesheng gradually adapted to the light here, so they quickly moved forward with torches. After a while, the passage became smoother. A dark red door appeared at the end.
