Han Shuangxue knew that it was just right to tell her purpose at this time. He knew Xue Xuzhao's temperament well. If he said it at this time, Xue Xuzhao would definitely consider it carefully.
As expected, Xue Xuzhao was immediately moved after hearing these words.
These years of continuous battles have made him exhausted, and his dissatisfaction with status and rewards has always left a scar in his heart.
If he could even get a higher position, he would give it up, but the fate of the people he teased never went as he wished.
Xue Xuzhao has been in the position of commander of the Qinglong Army for ten years, and his position has changed. There are at least three people in the Holy City who hold the same position as him. Although his age is here, he still hopes to climb up with his weak body.
Xue Xuzhao only thought about these thoughts by himself, but he had no way out and could only be acted upon. But now that Han Shuangxue said it, his heart was moved.
As a magic master, he knew the preciousness of the Heaven-Lifting Cauldron. If he could obtain this treasure, it would be tantamount to gaining the qualification to control the exclusive contract talisman.
"Brother Han, please don't say this nonsense. It's very dangerous to think about the Eastern sect's treasure..." Xue Xuzhao lowered his voice carefully and said.
When Han Shuangxue heard Xue Xuzhao's tone, she couldn't help but smile and suddenly felt that something was funny.
He looked around and saw that there was no one around, and said softly: "Brother, of course I can't harm you. I have my own way to find out the whereabouts of the Tianding Cauldron. I just hope that the eldest brother can help me. After that, you and I will By sharing the Heavenly Cauldron, wealth and wealth can be equally shared.”
As soon as these words came out, Xue Xuzhao couldn't sit still, but after all, he was a battle-hardened old fox, so he didn't give himself up completely just because of Han Shuangxue's few words.
So he said: "Since this is what my brother has in mind, the older brother should naturally be more supportive. However, let's elaborate on it when the time comes."
Han Shuangxue nodded and agreed, saying in her heart: "This is the first time I mentioned the matter of lifting the heavenly cauldron. It's surprising that Xue Xuzhao doesn't feel disgusted after talking to me for so long."
The team only rested for a short while before Xue Xuzhao urged everyone to continue on their way.
At this time, several soldiers walked over and stood beside Han Shuangxue with sad faces.
"What's wrong with you?" Han Shuangxue asked.
One of the leading soldiers said: "Deputy Commander, please help the brothers to persuade Commander Xue. The brothers are very tired. We have been traveling for a long time, and we really can't go any further. Let alone My brothers are not very advanced in cultivation, but even masters of magic get tired sometimes, right?"
Han Shuangxue looked at Xue Xuzhao, who was already preparing to go on the road, and said helplessly: "I have already tried to persuade you once. You also know my brother's temper. If you don't listen, you won't listen. Just be patient. We're here. The Orientalists will treat you well."
"Okay, in that case, I would like to thank the deputy commander for being considerate to the brothers." The few people who came to express their feelings knew that Han Shuangxue said that there was no problem, and then left helplessly.
Han Shuangxue looked at this scene, looked at Xue Xuzhao who was walking not far away, and said in her heart: "Brother has a good way of fighting, but he knows very little about how to run an army, so that's fine."
[Oriental Style·Dazzling Cave]
The usually deserted Dazzling Cave is a bit lively today.
Many disciples in seclusion have come out of seclusion to prepare for the sect competition in the future, and naturally among them Qi Luo, who has just entered the cave, is indispensable.
By the time Qi Luo came out of the cave, several disciples from the Alchemy Hall were already as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
"Elder brother, please come out. Master asked us to inform you. As soon as you come out, you will rush to the mountain gate to greet the guests of the imperial court."
Upon hearing this, Qi Luo straightened his sleeves and said, "I know, I'll go right away."
After Qi Luo left, Yu Wenhua followed closely behind.
Liuli and Qibi have been waiting at the door for a long time.
"Boss, you have to come out. If you don't come out, you will miss the excitement." Liuli said excitedly.
Yu Wenhua asked: "What excitement makes you so excited?"
"Boss, do you remember what day it is today?" Liuli asked.
Yu Wenhua said disdainfully: "The seventh day of September is an ordinary day."
"Boss, you may not know that today is the day when the imperial court sends people to the sect to supervise the battle. No, the guests have already arrived at the mountain gate. Let's go and have a look." Qibi said.
Upon hearing this, Yu Wenhua pondered for a moment and said, "People from the imperial court...are here to supervise the battle? It's worth a look."
Several people rushed to the mountain gate together.
At this time, the gate of Dongfang Sect Mountain was crowded with people. Headed by the acting head Lian Bo, followed by several other masters lined up neatly, and after the master were the disciples of various Five Elements Halls.
"Lian Bo of the Oriental Faction respectfully welcomes Commander Xue of the Qinglong Army!" Although Lian Bo's cultivation level is much higher than that of Xue Xuzhao, he is a person sent by the imperial court at this time, and his status is equivalent to his own, so he does not dare to neglect him. .
Xue Xuzhao was not an unreasonable person. When he heard Lian Bo greeting him, he got off his horse early, cupped his fists and said: "The Oriental School is famous and powerful all over the world, and Taoist friend Lian Bo has been looking up to him for a long time."
"Commander Xue, you don't have to be polite. We are outsiders, and we can only survive today if we can get your majesty's care. I won't say too many polite words. Commander Xue has worked hard all the way. Please come in quickly." Lian Bo quickly let Commander Xue in.
"Masters, long time no see." Han Shuangxue saw the familiar faces in front of her and saluted, "Please don't blame Shuangxue for not returning to the master for a long time to visit the masters."
Mo Xiao recognized Han Shuangxue at a glance, hummed slightly and said, "You're welcome, Deputy Commander Han. You have nothing to do with our sect. Why come to the sect to pay a return visit?"
"Junior sister Mo Xiao, please don't be rude, we are guests." Lian Bo turned around and frowned slightly, giving a lesson.
When Mo Xiao heard this, he stepped back.
"Senior Brother Han, long time no see." Qi Luo slowly walked out of the crowd.
"Junior Brother Qi!" When Han Shuangxue heard someone calling him, she quickly looked back and saw Qi Luo, who had been away for a long time, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Qi Luo walked over with a smile and affectionately hugged Han Shuangxue, who was wearing military uniform.
Han Shuangxue naturally responded with a hug.
"After so many years, you have grown up!" Han Shuangxue couldn't help patting Qi Luo's strong shoulder with some excitement, "Not bad, not bad, you have become a bit like an oriental senior brother!"
"Thank you for the compliment, senior brother. Let's go in first. The guest rooms have been prepared for you a long time ago. It's been a hard journey all the way. Let's rest first." After Qi Luo finished speaking, he glanced at Lian Bo.
Lian Bo nodded slightly and brought Xue Xuzhao into the sect first.
"Brothers and you, have a good drink tonight." Han Shuangxue said happily.
Qi Luo looked troubled and said, "Senior brother, it's not like you don't know that the sect's rules strictly prohibit drinking."
When Han Shuangxue heard this, she came to her senses and said, "Look at my brain, how could I have forgotten this? It seems that I was excusable when I was driven down the mountain! Hahaha!"
Except for Han Shuangxue, no one around her could laugh, and Qi Luo also looked embarrassed.
But there was no other way, Han Shuangxue had to accept what she said.
Qi Luo pulled Han Shuangxue aside and said, "Senior Brother, Junior Brother has a jar of fine wine hidden in the back mountain. How about we dig out this jar of fine wine and drink it together in the evening?"
Upon hearing this, Han Shuangxue nodded, then pointed at Qi Luo and said, "Junior Brother Qi, you are a bad learner!"
"It's just drinking, no problem." Qi Luo said with a smile.
While Lian Bo took Xue Xuzhao to visit the sect, Qi Luo ordered the soldiers of the Qinglong Squadron to be taken to the resting place, and then took Han Shuangxue to have a look inside the sect.
"After so many years, although our Eastern sect is still so well-organized, the changes are really big. Look at these trees and water, they have never been there before. It is really difficult for Master and the others to maintain the operation of such a sect for decades. It's gone." Han Shuangxue looked up at the strange yet familiar scenery around her and couldn't help but sigh.
Qi Luo nodded and said: "Senior Brother Han, we have been apart for more than ten years, and things have already changed. You and I are getting older, haven't we?"
"That's right. By the way, how is the master's health lately?" Han Shuangxue asked, "Why haven't you seen the master today?"
"Senior Brother Han doesn't know something. The leader went down the mountain for a trip earlier and has not returned yet. But don't worry, he is in very good health." Qi Luo explained.
When Han Shuangxue heard this, she smiled and said: "The leader has never asked about the affairs of the sect, so I am not surprised that he went down the mountain to travel. It's just that I can't see his old man during this visit, which is a bit regretful."
Qi Luo patted Han Shuangxue on the shoulder and comforted: "Senior Brother Han, you can come back often in the future."
"It's not necessary to come back often. Our army is busy with military affairs and we don't have much free time." Han Shuangxue said and walked towards the Amitabha Pagoda.
"This Amitabha Pagoda looked like this when I left many years ago. I didn't expect it to still look like this now. It is really a sacred tower that has stood for thousands of years." Han Shuangxue couldn't help but sigh when she looked at the Amitabha Pagoda, which was still as white as ever.
Suddenly a thought flashed through his mind: "This Amitabha Pagoda claims to contain countless spiritual beasts and demons, and no one dares to enter. If it is so magical, could the Heaven-Lifting Cauldron be hidden in it? As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is also It’s the safest place. Alas! Why didn’t I think of it at the beginning? This is a great opportunity. I must find an opportunity to go in and take a look.”
Han Shuangxue regretted it too much. Back then, he was also eager to find the Heaven-Juking Cauldron. He originally thought that the Heaven-Juking Cauldron should be hidden on the third floor of the mysterious Scripture-Depository Pavilion, but he forgot about this huge thing in front of him.
Qi Luo looked at Han Shuangxue and was lost in thought at the Amitabha Pagoda, and couldn't help but ask: "Senior brother, what's wrong? Is there anything unusual about the Amitabha Pagoda?"
"No, no, I just think this Amitabha Pagoda is really magical. After so many years, the outer layer is still as bright as new. This behemoth is absolutely extraordinary." Han Shuangxue praised.
