In front of the boundary monument of Wicked Ridge, two men in red cloaks were standing in front of the monument talking. One showed disdain and the other looked cautious, but their eyes were all directed toward the Wicked Ridge.
"Brother, do we really have to wait in this wet and cold place?" The man with disdain in his eyes, his eyes full of pride, glanced at the way to the Villain Ridge behind the boundary monument, withdrew his gaze and looked at the man with a solemn expression beside him. The person asked, his tone was very impatient.
The man with a cautious look was not angry when he heard his junior brother's tone. He looked away, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Young building master, before setting off, the master once ordered that when you leave the Golden Rooster Building, you must be cautious in everything you do, not to mention The people imprisoned in this Evil Man's Ridge are all famous people in the world. He is the Master of this Evil Man's Ridge. Master said that we should also treat him with courtesy."
"Humph... Ridge Master? He's nothing more than a eunuch, not even a man. Otherwise, how could he be sent to guard the Evil Ridge by the Valley Master? My father is so humble... Senior brother is too cautious. Could it be that we Are you afraid that the eunuch will not succeed?" The junior brother sneered, and did not listen to the senior brother's words of dissuasion at all. Instead, his tone was higher, as if intentionally or unintentionally, he wanted to spread the words from his mouth to the Villain Ridge.
The senior brother's face suddenly changed, his tone became slightly harsh, and he tried to dissuade the rash junior brother: "Young Master, don't lie. You have to know that there is not only one ridge master in this evil ridge, Murong Ang..."
Hearing what the senior brother said, the junior brother snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "Senior brother, with his cautious behavior, he deserves to be the chief disciple of Jinji Ridge, but I also ask senior brother Ji not to forget that you are just a foreigner." Human, and my last name is...Murong!"
The moment he spoke, an imperceptible chill rose in Senior Brother Ji's eyes, making the cold around the boundary monument even stronger. Looking back at Junior Brother, he was completely unaware and still kept talking: "My father's order is for you to follow me here. Come to the Wicked Ridge and bring those elixirs back to the Golden Rooster Tower. If the elixirs delay our elixir refining in the Golden Rooster Tower, if the Valley Master blames it, can Senior Brother Ji bear it?"
Covering up the coldness in his eyes, the previous solemn and cautious look reappeared in his eyes. As a senior brother, he bowed his head to the junior brother in front of him and said respectfully: "Master's worries are my disciple's worries. Ji Ye is willing to share the worries of master."
"It's best that this is the case. You are my senior brother Murong Lu after all. I respect you even in front of others, but it's just for the sake of our Jinji Tower's face..." Murong Lu said the word "face", but he reprimanded him. Yan, how could he save any face for his senior brother?
While they were talking, the sound of footsteps came from behind the boundary monument.
The two stopped talking and looked back together. After seeing the boundary monument, several figures in red robes gradually appeared in the mountains and forests. Upon seeing this, Murong Lu, as a junior brother, not only failed to save his "face" as he said before and retreated behind his senior brother, Instead, he turned around with his hands behind his back, looking like a leader.
Senior Brother Ji behind him didn't seem to care. His eyes had already fallen on the group of people who were coming. He passed by the disciples from Weirenling who were leading the way and landed on the red-robed man at the end of the line, whose face was covered by a hood. His eyes narrowed slightly. His brows were slightly pressed, and an inexplicable light shone in his eyes, which lasted only a moment and then disappeared without a trace. .
Liang Ji led the way and saw Murong Lu's figure from a distance. He couldn't help but look back at the people around him and gave a few instructions in a low voice. Then he put on a smile and shouted loudly: "It turns out that Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Ji are here, Liang Ji." Junior brother, we are far away..."
Compared to Liang Ji's tact, Murong Lu didn't even bother to pretend to be polite on his face. His eyes swept over the disciples of Wicked Ridge in front of him and landed on the last person in the group: "Disciple Murong Lu, by order of my father, I am here to Come to Weiren Ridge to ask for this month's elixir, and please quickly select the best quality goods and let me take them back to Jinji Ridge, so as not to delay the grain owner's important event."
As soon as these words came out, not only did Liang Ji, who had always dealt with things tactfully, and other disciples from the Evil Ridge suddenly change their expressions, Senior Brother Ji, who was standing behind Murong Lu, also frowned.
Everyone knew that Murong Lu was the son of the owner of the Golden Rooster Building, and he had a vengeful character. In the future, he would wear a red robe and become a disciple of the inner sect in the valley. Even if he spoke rudely, Liang Ji and others dared not speak out.
The mute master uncle behind him didn't show any reaction. He seemed to be wary of the Golden Rooster Tower. Liang Ji thought about it again and again, but still suppressed the anger in his heart and forced a smile on his face. "Young Lord, please forgive me. It's not that I, the Wicked Ridge, delayed intentionally, it's just..." ..”
As soon as the words were spoken, the sound of clothes coming from outside the boundary monument was heard, along with the sounds of
There was a strange voice from junior fellow student Dou Ke: "Senior Brother Liang is really a shrewd man. He went to please Uncle Junior by himself and only left the matter of returning to the mountain with the pills to me..."
Following the sound, Dou Ke and others appeared outside the boundary monument with a group of traitors from the Mo clan. When they got out of the forest, they saw the scene in front of the boundary monument. In particular, they saw Murong Lu and the others hurriedly holding the Mo clan in their hands. The traitor was left behind by others, and he came quickly and saluted Murong Lu.
"Little man... No, no, no, Dou Ke has met Senior Brother Lu. I don't know what a big deal it is, but Senior Brother Lu came to our Villain Ridge... Could it be that our Senior Brother Liang has offended Senior Brother Lu..."
Although Murong Lu was arrogant, he also knew not to offend the people of Jiweinrenling. Perhaps because it was the first time he met Dou Ke, he put down what he was doing and came to see him. Compared with Liang Ji who asked the two of them to wait at the boundary monument, Murong Lu's His vanity was greatly satisfied, and he was about to speak to soften his words, but when he saw the traitor of the Momen brought back by Dou Ke's men, his expression immediately changed. ap..
"No wonder I, Jinji Tower, refused to send people up the mountain despite our repeated urging... It turns out that you were not careful enough to guard them and allowed Dan Liang to escape."
Dou Ke originally thought that Murong Lu came here for a routine matter, but he didn't expect that he came for the elixir. As soon as he rolled his eyes, he had an idea and said, "I hope that Senior Brother Lu will forgive me for escaping the elixir. It’s not entirely the fault of Senior Brother Liang. Master was ordered to go to Wangxiangpo and has not yet returned to the mountain. Senior Brother Liang usually handles affairs in the mountain. Being so busy, it is inevitable that he will make some omissions..."
Murong Lu was worthy of the word "Lu" in his name. He fell into a small verbal trap and immediately fell into it recklessly. When he heard that the ridge master was not there, he did not take the red robe in his eyes. He spoke even more unscrupulously: "What a busy oversight. Do you want me, Jinjilou, to take the blame for you because of your oversight? Stop talking nonsense, I came here today just to take away the alchemy, and if I missed the important matter of the Valley Master, it’s time for you, the Wicked Ridge, to change its owner."
Looking around arrogantly, he naturally fell on those Momen traitors. With his eyes narrowed slightly, Murong Lu continued to speak: "Just in time... I will discuss the matter of losing the elixir in the future. Now that I have brought the elixir back, I won't care. We are about to be sent to the Evil Ridge, so you should bring the elixirs and follow me back to the Golden Rooster Ridge."
Dou Ke originally wanted to use Murong Lu to attack his senior brother, but he didn't expect that Murong Lu actually asked him to lead people to bring pills to Jinji Ridge. He was overjoyed. You must know that the closer you are to the Resurrection Cliff in Murong Valley, the closer you are to the valley. Lord Murong Fengling, this is the opportunity that everyone in Murong Valley dreams of.
Dou Ke couldn't wait to leave Evil Man Ridge now. Although he was happy in his heart, he still pretended to be embarrassed on his face and responded: "Senior Brother Lu's order, Dou Ke naturally has to obey, but... the master has not returned to the mountain yet... Why don't Senior Brother Lu stay in the ridge for a few days, and wait until the master returns from completing the Valley Master's orders? After I ask for your orders, I will set off immediately without any delay..."
"No, I think you are so pleasing to me, why would you want to be your master to that eunuch? You bring your people, join my father's sect, and become my disciples of the Golden Rooster Tower. That's it." Dou Ke said With a few words, Murong Lu was so proud that he had already forgotten that there was a man in a red robe with a covered face among the group of people in Evil Ridge, so he opened his mouth to give an order, as if he was telling the truth.
These words finally made Liang Ji and other disciples from the Evil Ridge no longer able to suppress the anger in their hearts. Liang Ji wanted to speak out, but when he remembered Murong Lu's identity, he finally endured it and moved his eyes slightly to signal everyone around him not to act rashly. , the corner of his mouth curled up, and he immediately had an idea in mind. He pretended to be embarrassed and bowed to the red-robed man behind him who never showed any emotion.
"Uncle, I really don't know what to do with Senior Brother Lu's order, please give me some advice."
Gu Xiao, who was at the end of the team, didn't want to get involved. He just wanted to follow Liang Ji and help him send away the envoy from Jinjilou first, so that he could rush back to the wooden house, wake up Brother Xue, and ask Lin'er, Uncle Li and others As he was falling, he was suddenly brought back from his thoughts by Liang Ji's bow. When he raised his eyes slightly, he realized that everyone's eyes were focused on him.
After hearing Liang Ji's words, the young man had a bad secret. He was wandering in his mind just now and did not try to stop it. At this time, he did not expect that Dou Ke was eating everything inside and out. He quickly turned his mind and thought about how to deal with it.
Murong Lu saw the red-robed man surrounded by a group of disciples from the Wicked Ridge and said nothing. He just thought that this man was also afraid of his father. He smiled proudly and said, "Okay, I see that your uncle doesn't have any objections..."
As he said this, his eyes were already indicating to Dou Ke that he would be the traitor of Momen.
After taking them all away, Dou Ke no longer cared about anything in the Villain Ridge, and only wanted to worship under the door of the Golden Rooster Tower. When he heard Murong Lu speak, he immediately called on his confidants to escort all the Momen traitors away. ap..
Seeing the situation clearly, the Momen traitors immediately turned from fright to anger. They had endured the jolts on horseback for the past few days just to save their lives. Now they saw that the young man disguised in red robe seemed to have forgotten his promise to everyone. How could they? He still had some scruples, so he pretended to curse angrily.
Whether it was to find the whereabouts of Lin'er, Uncle Li and others, or whether these Momen traitors knew that they were not red-robed men, Gu Xiao would not let Murong Lu take away the Momen traitors like this.
Since there was no way to deal with it, he would use force to stop him. Stop the person first, and then do what he wants... The young man made up his mind, and stood up from the ground as soon as Murong Lu, Dou Ke and others turned around.
A group of Momen traitors were about to speak, but they saw the red-robed figure directly over everyone's heads, blocking the way. They were overjoyed, knowing that the young man had not forgotten the promise of the deserted boulder land.
Dou Ke originally thought that his uncle was also afraid of the status of the owner of the Golden Rooster in the valley. This time when he saw him blocking the way, he felt fear in his heart. A moment ago, he was still looking like a slave leading the way. After the red robe settled down, he At this time, he had quietly moved his steps and retreated quietly behind Murong Lu.
Although Murong Lu was arrogant, he was not stupid. As soon as the red robe Qinggong showed up, he knew that his skills were far superior to his own. Also, he was wearing the same red robe as his father. He was indeed not someone he could offend. I thought this man was afraid of his father, but now it seems that I have underestimated him.
After a lifetime of thinking, some of the arrogance on his face disappeared. He took a step forward and said the same: "I'm Murong Lu at the Golden Rooster Tower. The matter of elixir and food is very important. I ask my uncle to take the overall situation into consideration..."
Before the word "heavy" came out, he felt the sword intent coming towards him. Under the red robe, the familiar scarlet sword appeared. Murong Lu swallowed the second half of his sentence alive.
Murong Lu's mediocre martial arts skills were all thanks to his father. Under the surge of powerful internal energy in the red robe, he retreated continuously. Dou Ke and other low-ranking officials saw his uncle displaying his power. They were panicked and were also affected by the surge of internal energy. Overturned to the ground...
Senior Brother Ji has not said a word since the people from Evil Ridge appeared. Seeing that Jinjilou was about to lose face, he frowned slightly and finally took action.
His body teleported, and he flashed in front of the staggering Murong Lu. He lifted up his red cloak and revealed a fine iron long sword. He held it tightly and slashed with the sword. He grasped the cloak tightly and turned around, blowing the strong wind. He suddenly stepped out and completely shook away the true energy emanating from the red robe.
Although the true energy was dissipated, the remaining power was still there. Senior Brother Ji was forced back a few steps by the ripples of true energy. With his brows furrowed, he planted his feet on the ground and entered the ground three-thirds of the way before he stopped.
