".What did you say?"
Si Luochao was finally moved. Fortunately, he had sufficient mental quality and his hands did not shake at this critical moment. Otherwise, Bai Yichen would have moved his head all of a sudden.
Bai Yichen narrowly escaped death, but he was extremely angry in his heart. He pushed away Si Luochao's sword that had lost its murderous intent with his hand, and sat on the floor. He raised his head, squinted his eyes and repeated what he just said: "Qingping, your This nephew is still alive and is in the hands of the Xuantian Sect."
Si Luochao was not the only one who was shocked by this news. Even Tian Quan was shocked. Apart from Bai Yichen himself, Lu Hanjiang, who knew the truth in advance, was probably the only one in the room who could remain indifferent.
However, in order to keep up with the atmosphere, Lu Hanjiang still pretended to be surprised and clicked his tongue a few times. He looked at Si Luochao with a smile and said, "Oh my, I'm afraid Taoist Master Xuantan's sword won't be able to kill people today."
Lu Hanjiang said warmly: "The Xuantian Sect is a real dragon's pool and tiger's den. I'm afraid I can't break in with just brute force. But if someone can help me and cooperate inside and outside, there may be a chance. Oh, in that case, wouldn't Protector Bai be just right? Can you help me?"
Bai Yichen just sneered and said nothing. Lu Hanjiang had almost said everything he wanted to say. If it hadn't been for the last sentence, he might be a little happier.
"Taoist Master Xuantan, we are wise people and don't tell secrets. Today you, Wudang, are helping Tianquan. In the future, Protector Bai will come forward to return this favor to you. The life and death of fellow Taoist Qingping can be determined by your thoughts. Ah." Lu Hanjiang said meaningfully.
After saying these words, everyone in the room frowned. Although the truth is such a truth, if the whole article is said clearly, the effect will not be that effective.
Favor transactions can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. To Si Luochao's ears, Lu Hanjiang's argument, which seemed to show off his cleverness, was not an exchange of equal value, but a threat.
Si Luochao took a deep breath and slowly turned his gaze to Lu Hanjiang. He asked, "Young Master Yue is also here. Does the Xiaoyao Sect plan to have a hand in today's matter?"
Tianquan seemed to be about to speak, but Lu Hanjiang intervened and stopped him. He stood up and said, "As Taoist Master Xuantan has seen, Brother Tianquan and I hit it off, so I will naturally take care of his affairs."
Si Luochao took a deep look at Lu Hanjiang, and then when he turned his gaze to Tianquan, there was already a bit more complex color in it.
Tianquan's hesitation after being stopped had become a kind of acquiescence in his thoughts in Si Luochao's eyes. This made the other party's image in his heart slightly change.
Coincidentally, Lu Hanjiang's seemingly unintentional actions, but actually terrifying after careful consideration, amplified Bai Yichen's suspicion of him.
Unavoidable that the situation would change again, Bai Yichen simply went along with what the other party said. He made it clear: "Si Luochao, Qingping is imprisoned in the Xuantian Sect's dark prison. I can help you rescue him." Come out, but you have to agree to our conditions."
Si Luochao's eyes were extremely cold, and he agreed without thinking for long: "Tell me, what do you want?"
The coldness that could repel people thousands of miles away made Tianquan feel a little strange, and also made him feel a little scary.
Bai Yichen got up from the ground, picked up the iron whip and put it away, patted the dust on his body, then pointed at Tianquan behind him, and said: "This kid has messed with someone he shouldn't mess with, our first condition Yes, let him return to the Qingcheng faction safely."
"Yes, as long as what you just said is true, not only him, but also you, I can pretend that I didn't see it." This condition was not difficult, so Si Luochao agreed.
"Don't worry yet," Bai Yichen interrupted Si Luochao, and continued: "I want you to find a way to persuade other people here to escort him back to the Qingcheng Sect."
Si Luochao paused for a moment and said in confusion: "Why is that? We are going on the official road to Sichuan and Sichuan. Even if we encounter any danger, I am enough."
Bai Yichen did not immediately inform Jin Yiwei of the information. He just said forcefully: "You can't do it alone. Anyway, if you want to cooperate, you have to call at least half of us."
Si Luochao frowned and thought for a moment, then finally nodded: "Yes, but you must provide me with clear evidence for this information."
In fact, the presence of Bai Yichen, the protector of the Xuantian Sect, here is already telling the story, but at this moment, Si Luochao also suspected Tianquan, so he had to be cautious.
Bai Yichen said nonchalantly: "About this matter, you can go and question Saintess and Li Yan. They all know the truth. It's not necessarily that the Xuantian Sect has lost its head and abandoned the lives of the three masters. Just Are you trying to trick you Wudang for design?"
The other party's words seemed to make sense. Si Luochao agreed with this for the time being, and then asked: "You said this is the first condition, what else is there?"
Bai Yichen glanced at Tianquan again and said with a smile: "There is one more thing, that is the Saint of Xuantian Sect, the little girl Qian, you must leave it to us."
Si Luochao narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a solemn tone: "You should know that I alone have no say in this matter. What's more, the blood debt on her body can be erased in this way."
"Both conditions are indispensable." Bai Yichen was equally determined.
The two refused to give in to each other. At this moment, Tianquan finally couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up and said to Bai Yichen: "Tell Uncle Xuantan the truth. This matter happened because of me. I don't care." To be so selfish.”
"You're crazy!" Bai Yichen grabbed Tianquan's collar with a fierce look in his eyes.
Tianquan was not afraid. He broke free from Bai Yichen's weak hand, came to Si Luochao and bowed deeply, apologetically and sincerely telling the whole situation.
"You mean, Jinyiwei?" After Si Luochao heard this, the surprise in his eyes was no less than that of the previous two people.
But now he understood why Bai Yichen clung to Qian Xiaoxiao. If it was really Jin Yiwei who was setting up the situation behind his back, then to ensure nothing goes wrong, all available power should indeed be used.
Qian Xiaoxiao fell in love with Tianquan, and Si Luochao, an outsider, could see this at a glance. If this girl could help, their chances of winning would be even greater.
But--
"These are all your words, how can I believe you?"
Si Luochao calmly looked at the two people in front of him and said, "If all this is fabricated by you to deceive us, wouldn't I be harming all my comrades by guaranteeing you this time?"
Bai Yichen tore open his clothes, revealing the shocking injuries on his shoulders. He said coldly: "Does Taoist Master Xuantan think that I would be stupid enough to risk my life for such a joke with you?"
Si Luochao glanced at the cut, seemingly thoughtful.
Just when the situation reached a deadlock, Lu Hanjiang suddenly spoke——
"Taoist Priest Xuantan," Lu Hanjiang said slowly, "Whether you believe or not believe what Jin Yiwei said, but if, I am if - if this matter is true and everything that Protector Bai said is true, Taoist Priest, why do Jin Yiwei want to hunt down Brother Tianquan?"
Si Luochao was stunned. This was indeed one of the reasons for his suspicion. Without him, Tianquan, a young man, really couldn't think of any reason for Jin Yiwei to pay such attention to him.
"Young Master Yue, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly," Si Luochao said.
"There are so many things going on in the world, but Jin Yiwei focuses his energy on such a mediocre Qingcheng sect disciple and mobilizes troops and people for him. Can you think so-"
Lu Hanjiang showed a mysterious smile, and said in a low voice: "There is something in Tianquan Xiandi that Jin Yiwei pays attention to, and it is important enough that people of no less than Qianhu level need to be sent to hunt him down."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions suddenly changed.
