Dongfang Shiming felt a little relieved when he saw that the situation here had not completely collapsed.
Suddenly, behind the pavilion, Dongfang Shiming heard the fight between the dragon halberd and the jade-faced Rakshasa halberd army again, and gradually moved to the outskirts of the heart lake.
The raindrops rumbled, and there was another rapid rain. The sightseeing platform was blown by the slanting wind, and the cool rain drenched Dongfang Shiming.
All the clothes on his body were soaked. Dongfang Shiming simply took off his outer robe and felt much refreshed. After calming down for a while, he weighed the pros and cons, and finally decided to temporarily give up the breakout of Xinhu Lake and instead attack Fengji to prevent their forces from joining together.
Having made up his mind, he didn't dare to delay and immediately turned around and ran downstairs.
At this moment, at the empty Longji Mountain Gate, an unexpected figure quietly returned.
Completely different from the hustle and bustle in the direction of Xinhu Lake, the Xiaoxiao morning rain fell silently in the Longji sect.
Drizzle dripped from the corners of the eaves, and the water shadows in the concave steps reflected the gray sky.
Long Xiao returned alone and did not hesitate in the lake of his heart.
Now was the opportunity he had been waiting for.
Almost the entire Dragon Halberd sect was dispatched, leaving this sect empty. Such a God-given opportunity is the best time to start implementing his secret plan!
As soon as he stepped into the mountain gate, his vision suddenly flashed. In front of the Dragon Halberd Hall drenched in rain, a group of confidants had been waiting for him for a long time.
These people are all the disciples he secretly led back to the mountain gate a few days ago. The Dragon Master would not have been so stupid, but Dragon Halberd had been entangled in many matters before, so his hidden scourge could sprout smoothly.
The Dragon Master would not have thought that most of the disciples he left behind to guard the mountain gate were aliens who wanted to devour the dragon halberd every moment.
They hid for a long time. For so many years, they have been training hard in the dark cave, just to wait for this moment and completely overturn this centuries-old sect!
Rain ran down his face, and his eyes turned dark red.
What emotion is this... excitement, anger, excitement?
Mixed with too many emotions, the resentment that had been buried in my heart for many years finally broke out at this moment!
"You have worked hard."
His heart was surging, but after thinking for a long time, he still said it in his usual extremely calm tone.
Those disciples watched him silently.
Why don't they feel excited? This wind and rain is like a praise for their actions, because they will truly replace Dragon Halberd and become the only orthodoxy in the future!
With his heart surging, Long Xiao could not conceal his inner ecstasy, and walked straight past the disciples to the main hall of the Dragon Halberd.
He wanted to take a good look at this territory that was under his control in the future. He wanted to look at every inch carefully.
This main hall - and even the entire Dragon Halberd, will respect him in the future, sacrifice their blood for martial arts, and regain their glory!
The door to the main hall was ajar, but Long Xiao pushed it open effortlessly.
However, the next scene that caught his eye shook his body.
He was shocked to see that on top of the chief throne in the main hall, the seat where he had been sleeping day and night, there was a man sitting there, motionless as a mountain.
The long aisle separated the distance between the throne and Long Xiao. Suddenly, there seemed to be thunder rumbling in his ears, and his whole body was frightened.
I saw the solemn Great Elder sitting alone in the solemn Kuoran Hall.
The wind and rain outside the palace seemed like a world apart from the inside. The great elder turned a deaf ear and rested like a dead branch, closing his eyes to rest.
"You..." Long Xiao's lips kept trembling, "How could it be?"
He didn't know the inside story. The great elder's majestic appearance was still as majestic as before, making him feel fear from the bottom of his heart.
The other disciples also gathered around, and when they saw the great elder in the main hall, they all froze and did not dare to move.
After a while, the great elder slowly opened his eyes and looked at Long Xiao and others not far away with a look of disdain and compassion:
"Long Xiao, welcome back."
His voice was as vast as the river and ocean, vague and real, elusive.
These words entered Long Xiao's ears, and he even had a moment of delusion that his plan had not been exposed. But he immediately woke up again. Yes, if the Great Elder showed up at this time, there would be absolutely no second possibility. Their plan was leaked.
"Yes. Disciple Long Xiao, sincerely welcome the return of the Great Elder."
But he didn't immediately break up. He knew the strength of the Great Elder. If he faced off head-on, even though he had the strength due to his numbers, the best result would be that both sides would lose. But this is not what he is pursuing.
In the empty hall, only their two voices echoed back and forth. The wind and rain continued outside the hall, and the hazy sky seemed like an unpredictable situation.
The confrontation in the palace is still continuing.
"Long Xiao, I asked you before. What is a king?" the great elder asked slowly and calmly.
Long Xiao frowned: "The king, calm down the troubled times and save the common people, and bring peace to all things. Retire after success, do not be restricted by fame, do not involve in the world, and do not indulge in the world of mortals."
This is a memory from when he was very young. At that time, he had not considered so many things. Like Long Tao, he hoped to bring glory to the sect, nothing more.
He remembered this issue particularly deeply.
The great elder narrowed his eyes, looked at his tired and excited face, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
"This is the rhetoric I taught you. I am very pleased that you can still remember it." The great elder said slowly.
"The king of the world, you must know that there is no lasting hegemony, nor an everlasting reputation." His tone is kind and tempting, as if he is facing the ignorant children of the past, kind and compassionate, "Those who chase the sun will be exhausted, and those who indulge in the waves will drown. A warrior dies with a sharp weapon, but a wise man dies with many rewards.”
"King, benevolence comes first, and keeping upright is the most important thing. If there are factions in the Jiji camp, it will be difficult to be king."
"I don't know, do you still remember this truth?" After the great elder finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Long Xiao's face.
