At this time, outside the sect, in the night, under the stars, the mountains were silent.
Han Tian's eyes were fixed on the back of the person in front of him. It was the person in front of him who found him last night and took out a letter. After reading it, Han Tian felt a chill all over his body. Then the person asked Han Tian to follow him. He left without telling where he was going. He flew with Han Tian all night, actually wandering around in the mountains outside the sect, and then flew with him for a whole day after dawn. Han Tian understood that this person was like this He was afraid that he would remember the direction of coming and going, but he had no choice. The content in the letter was really terrible, so he had to be patient and follow the man around for a while. Until now, it was dark again, and he had already lost his way. He had no idea where he was now, and he had no idea where this person was going to take him.
"arrive."
The man in front suddenly said something, then slowed down and went downwards.
The dark area below could not be seen clearly, and it seemed to be a valley. Han Tian was also very alert. He directed his spiritual energy to his two eyes and stared down without blinking. He saw the man skillfully walking along the small valley. After a few turns, he fell down.
"right here."
The place where the man fell was the entrance of a cave.
"Come on, come in with me."
Han Tian didn't say anything, but he walked into the cave with this person one step at a time.
Almost reaching the deepest part of the cave, the man stopped. There was no way forward. He patted the cave wall on one side, and then heard a dull sound of "crush". , a stone on the cave wall slowly moved away, revealing a secret passage going downward inside.
Fortunately, there are lights on both sides of this secret passage, which is not as dark as the previous cave. However, because of the light, it can be seen that this secret passage goes all the way down, making it appear long and dull.
"Come with me."
The man said something again, and without waiting for Han Tian behind him, he raised his legs and walked in.
Han Tian took a few deep breaths, hesitated slightly, but gritted his teeth and followed him.
Silently counting how many steps he walked down in his heart, Han Tian followed that person for who knows how long. Finally, after hearing the sound of gurgling water, the secret passage finally came to an end.
The end of the secret passage is connected to this vast underground cave. An underground river passes through this cave, gushing out from the underground river on one side, flowing less than a hundred feet away in the cave, and then flowing into the underground river on the other side without knowing where to go.
Fortunately, there are lights in this underground cave. On the side of the cave, there are several people standing together talking about something.
"Senior Brother Wen, we've brought him here."
Said the man who led Han Tian all the way here.
The people in the cave turned their heads and looked over after hearing this.
The lights were on the cave wall, behind those people, so when those people turned their heads to look over, although Han Tian also saw them, the faces of those people looked extremely dark under the light. Unclear face.
When he got closer, Han Tian noticed that these people seemed to be standing together around a man who was not very tall. If he walked closer, he could see the faces of these people clearly with the light on the cave wall.
Now Han Tian could see clearly the man in the middle who was not tall. He was a young man with a short stature and decent facial features, especially a pair of eyes that were full of light. Well, why did this man have such hair? What about the gray color?
It does look familiar.
When the man saw Han Tian looking at him, he took a step forward with a smile, bowed his hands and said, "Brother Han, I am gentle and kind, and I have long admired your great name."
"Oh?" Han Tian listened and looked at the person in front of him carefully. He seemed to have heard of this person, and seemed to have seen this person somewhere. He had long forgotten the specific time or place, and stretched out his hand. Taking out a piece of letterhead, Han Tian asked, "So it's Brother Wen who invited me here?"
"Yes, that's right. Since Brother Han has arrived, you'd better give me this letter."
With that said, the Wen Liang reached out and took the letter from Han Tian's hand. As soon as he turned around, he lit the letter on fire with the light on the cave wall.
"I have never had any contact with Brother Wen before. I wonder why Brother Wen sent someone to send a letter to invite me here?"
"Don't worry, Brother Han. Before we get down to business, let me meet someone first. You must know him."
With that said, Wen Liang stretched out his right arm and motioned for Han Tian to go with him.
The direction the two people went was the underground river, and some of the people who were following Wen Liang took off the lights from the cave wall and followed them.
As the sound of the water gradually became louder, Han Tian also saw a person sitting on the edge of the dark river under the light of the people behind him.
Getting closer, Han Tian's chest was pounding, and he found that the man by the dark river was sitting with his back against a stone, his legs spread, his head drooped, his face pale, and one hand still covering his chest. , looking at the blood stains on his body, it seemed that he had been seriously injured, and he seemed to be in a coma.
"Brother Han should recognize this person, right?" Wen Liang asked when he saw Han Tian looking at the person carefully.
"This is..." Han Tian was shocked. He knelt down, reached out and gently held the man's head up, and then he saw the man's face clearly and recognized who he was. "Dong... Dong Zhong, Brother Dong!"
Han Tian was shocked!
Han Tian's call seemed to wake the man up from a coma. He raised his head. Although there was not much blood on his face at this time, if you look closely at the facial features, it was Han Tian and Wen Zhang who were related to the treasure hidden in the ruins. After crossing the Blood Alliance, he followed An Zhen and Yu Xian to find Dong Zhong of Qian Chao, but why was he here, where was An Zhen? Where is Yu Xi? What happened to his injuries? Could it be...? Impossible. What kind of cultivation level is Qian Chao? How could he defeat the three of them? What happened? I saw Qian Chao and others returning safely yesterday. When inside the clan, Han Tian was still scolding An Zhen and others for their poor performance. Why did he see Dong Zhong seriously injured here tonight?
Could it be this Wen Liang's fault?
Thinking of this, Han Tian stood up and looked at Wen Liang and asked: "Brother Wen, what is going on? This Brother Dong and I know each other. I had entrusted him with things before. Why is he like this now?"
Wen Liang glanced at Dong Min on the ground, and then said to Han Tian with a smile, "Brother Han, please be patient. Since Brother Dong is already awake, let him speak for himself."
"Brother Dong, you...how did you end up like this?" Han Tian leaned down and asked Dong Min eagerly.
It took Dong Min a while to recognize who the man with the picturesque features in front of him was. After he saw it clearly, he became very excited, and his pale face flushed. Dong Min glared at Han Tian and pointed at him with one finger. , said intermittently: "You... you... you deceived us so hard!"
"What!" What Han Tian immediately thought of was the Qian Chao incident, but then he didn't understand even more. He had never deceived An Zhen, Dong Zhong and others, and even made a fortune for them to find Qian Chao. After thinking about it, why would you lie to them?
"Brother Dong, when did I lie to you? Where is Brother An? Where is Brother Yu? What happened to the two of them? Why are you like this again?"
"Humph! Both of them...are dead..."
Han Tian's first reaction was to turn around and glare at Wen Liang. He felt that Wen Liang must be the one who caused the trouble, but when Wen Liang saw him like this, he just shrugged helplessly, indicating that he had nothing to do with the deaths of the two men.
"How did the two of them die?" Han Tian asked.
"Yes...yes..." At this point, Dong Min spoke intermittently. He seemed to be very excited, and his chest was rising and falling even more. It took him a while to calm down, but he glared at Han Tian, "It's all you who lied." We, Brother An...and Brother Yu, all died at the hands of that boy named Qian!"
"What...!" Han Tian could hardly believe his ears.
"What did you say! Did Qian Chao kill An Zhen and Yu Xi?" Han Tian felt like he was telling a ridiculous joke when he asked this!
"You...you deceived us so hard...you said that Qian's third-level Qi refining cultivation level...but he is clearly at the fourth level of Qi refining...that kid can also set up formations, and I was trapped by them as soon as we fought. In the formation...I couldn't move, and then..."
"How did they kill An Zhen and Yu Xian!" Han Tian asked impatiently.
"How...how do I know! I have been trapped in the formation for more than two days. When I saw the money again...when Qian Chao came, they gave it to me with Brother Yu and Brother An's sect jade pendants... Look, there are also their storage bags.”
"You didn't see Qian Chao kill the two of them with your own eyes...you only had things. How did you know that An Zhen and Yu Xian must be dead? That Qian Chao is extremely cunning. He is probably lying to you. He has What did I tell you?"
"Bah! An Zhen...carried an...evil sword with him. It was his biggest...reliance. When Qian Chao showed me the evil sword, I knew...that they...would definitely die!"
"What!"
Han Tian stood up slowly after hearing this. There was an evil sword hidden in An Zhen's body. Since he had some relationship with An Zhen, An Zhen vaguely mentioned it to him, but he never mentioned it. I have seen it. Now that such a secret thing has been revealed by Dong Min, it seems that An Zhen and Yu Xian are really dead and were really killed by Qian Chao!
But... this is too incredible, how is this possible!
"Since they were able to kill An Zhen and Yu Xian, why did they let you go? What did you say to them before they let you go?"
"Bah!" Dong Min said angrily, "Are you looking forward to my death too? I...how do I know why they don't kill me!"
Wen Liang looked at the two of them with a smile. After hearing this, he said: "Brother Han, let me tell you the rest. Well, Brother Dong got a life from those little guys. He originally planned to He wanted to be a casual cultivator incognito, but unfortunately, those little guys searched him and nothing was left. So when he saw our man alone on the way, he wanted to grab a few and get some for himself. I came here to use a piece of spiritual stone, but I didn’t know that I was injured by our people as soon as I started to attack, and then I sent it here. After I asked, I found out that this Brother Dong is somewhat related to your Brother Han, so I let him You were invited here."
"Not bad," Han Tian took a breath. Now he had doubts about Wen Liang, and now that he knew that Qian Chao could kill An Zhen and Yu Xian, his mind was in a mess. No matter how chaotic the situation is, there must be a head to sort it out, so he calmed down and dealt with this Wen Liang first.
"I do have some relationship with this Brother Dong. I was the one who found him and the other two to do something for me, oh no, for Senior Brother Wen Zhang. After it is completed, they will benefit from it. I just didn’t expect that something that was easy to catch would make them so ugly and two people died. It’s really unexpected.”
Dong Min couldn't stop breathing after listening to Han Tian's words.
"Well, I know a little bit about Wen Zhang. Don't worry, let's do it one by one." Wen Liang walked to Dong Min's side. "Senior Brother Dong, if I haven't done this for you, if I am willing to do it for you, I work for him, so I can take him in, but it's a pity that the people he offended are not ordinary people. Brother Han, you are also to blame here. You only asked him to catch Qian Chao, but the people around Qian Chao were not them. Those who can afford to offend are a girl named Tang and a boy named Lu. Oh, why are you so careless? You ruined two people in vain. Now Senior Brother Dong can never return to the sect, as long as As soon as he shows up in the sect, someone will take advantage of him, and his life will naturally be lost, but if he can't go back, it will be of no use to me. What a pity!"
When he said this, Wen Liang turned his head and said to the person next to him: "Kill him."
Han Tian saw one of those people stepping forward, and with a flash of cold light in his hand, it pierced Dong Min's chest.
Then the man moved his wrist, and the spiritual sword in his hand stirred in Dong Zhong's chest.
Dong Zhong was seriously injured and couldn't even scream. After a while, his arms and head drooped, and he no longer had the chance to breathe.
Han Tian felt his whole body go cold. He had seen murder before, but to order his subordinates to take lives in such a calm manner, this gentle man must not be a ruthless person who is easy to deal with.
The man drew out his spiritual sword and shook it, shaking off the blood beads on the sword. Then he raised his foot and kicked Dong Min's body into the underground river with a pop. Following the water flow, Dong Min entered the underground river. It must have been forever. Never see the light of day again.
"Well, one thing has been solved. Brother Han, please, although this place is simple, you are a guest from afar, and I always want to buy you a cup of hot tea. Come on."
As he spoke, the people following Wen Liang saw that when they heard the word hot tea, they took out tables, chairs, tea cups, and placed them neatly one by one from their storage bags. There was even a clay stove teapot. It was really in this cave. Start boiling water for tea.
After taking a look at those people working, Wen Liang looked at Han Tian again, and said with a smile: "Brother Han, do you know that you still owe me a favor?"
"Oh, when did I owe Brother Wen a favor? Brother Wen, please make it clear."
"Brother Han, you are so smart, how could you not know that I asked someone to send you a letter last night? Do you know that if you follow my people, you will be temporarily dodged?"
Han Tian's eyes flashed, and then he exhaled and said: "Yes, since they went wrong in that matter and let the boy named Qian run back, then they will definitely come back with revenge. No matter what happens to Wen Zhang, I will always The most unlucky one, well, it seems like I really escaped once."
"Yesterday, Luo Ying, Wenyuan and others also returned to the sect. Those little guys did not go directly to their elders. Instead, they went to find Luo Ying and others first, and then Wenyuan took your Qian Chao Wen Mian's portrait, the jade pendants of the three masters, and the evil sword were found by Wen Mian. Immediately afterwards, Wen Mian found Wen Zhang. After punishing him, he found someone to send Wen Zhang out of the Five Spirits overnight. Zong, sent it back to the Wen family."
"What!" Han Tian was surprised when he heard that Wen Zhang was expelled from the sect!
Seeing his surprise, Wen Liang continued to say with a smile: "Soon after, Luo Ying, Luo Bin and Lu Shuang arrived at your residence. They went to get you, but they missed it. You were following my people all the way. If we rush here, if we are caught by those three people, Brother Han will not get any good results."
"Yes, if I fall into the hands of those three people, I will only die. So I really owe Brother Wen a favor."
"Brother Han, actually there is still room for change in this matter. You see, Mr. Wen Mian just sent Wen Zhang back. This matter involved the evil sword, and he wanted to avoid harming himself because of it. As for the reputation within the sect, he doesn't care about other things at all. As for you, the people looking for you are Luo Ying and the others. You hide for a while. Once the limelight is over, be more careful in the sect in the future and avoid these people. Just a few people, huh, after those famous families are facing foundation building again, how can they have so much leisure to focus on you."
Han Tian's mind was not entirely focused on Wen Liang's words. At this time, the water in the clay stove next to him was boiling. The few people following Wen Liang brought teapots to pour tea for the two of them. Han Tian was filled with the steaming aroma of tea. Looking at Wen Liang's smiling face, he felt a little uneasy. He had other things to ask him.
"Brother Wen," Han Tian finally couldn't help but ask, "Let's not talk about this matter for now. The letter you wrote to me involves some personal matters of mine. I am curious as to how Brother Wen learned about things that happened many years ago. He seems to know a lot."
"This is about something. Come on, Brother Han, please give me some tea." Wen Liang deliberately took a sip of tea before continuing slowly, "As for the qi-refining disciples like us in the sect, I will always pay more attention to those who stand out." , especially someone like Brother Han, who is not only talented but also very wise, I will naturally pay more attention to him. Well, in order to have a few words with Brother Han, I will naturally ask more about Brother Han from others. , so I know more, so please don’t blame Brother Han.”
"Brother Wen is joking. Most of the things mentioned in your letter are Han's private matters. Not to mention asking others about them, there are not many people alive in this world who know those things. How come Brother Wen can actually find out? Forget it, Brother Wen, if you want me to stay with Dong Zhong here today, it only depends on your words. Now that the matter has come to this, why don't you ask Brother Wen to speak frankly? , who are you, and what do you want from me?"
"Haha, when did Brother Han become a happy person?" Wen Liang said with a smile, "But I can tell you frankly that if Brother Han wants to leave, he can leave immediately. I will never stop him. Oh, I No one would touch Brother Han even a hair."
Hearing this, Han Tian looked at Wen Liang with sparkling eyes, but he could not see anything on Wen Liang's face. The man still had gray hair and looked at him with a smile on his face.
"Brother Han, I can't tell you who I am yet. Our friendship is shallow and we can't talk about it. As for what I want to do, you don't need to know, but..." Wen Liang still looked at Han Tian with a smile, but there was something in his eyes. Deep meaning: "I know what you want to do. Not only do I know it, but I will also help you from time to time, because what you do is also of some benefit to me."
"You know what I want to do?"
"Of course I know. Isn't it just for the Wen family that you are working hard to stay by Wen Zhang's side?"
Han Tian's eyes narrowed, he stared at Wen Liang and said slowly: "What if I don't deal with the Wen family anymore?"
"What's the harm in that to me?"
"Once Wen Zhang leaves, my chances seem to be slim."
"Well, that's true, but with Brother Han's talents, he will definitely be able to find a unique way, and maybe you can get what you want."
"Oh, does Brother Wen have any idea?"
"Hey, I have no way to deal with that old man Wen Mian. Brother Han, your ambition is not small, but you still have to do it bit by bit if you want to achieve it."
"Come on bit by bit, then you have to be able to go back."
"After a while, Luo Ying and the others will no longer take you to heart. They have been working hard to build the foundation. How can they still have the leisure to do so..."
"Are you talking about those Qian Chao people?"
"Well, Brother Han, don't you think you underestimated Qian Chao? Just now, Dong Min said that he was trapped in the formation by those people from the beginning. Only the dead Yu Xian knew some of the formation. , and that kid Qian Chao actually knows how to arrange things. Besides, those few people don't know how to build foundations for a long time. If you try to influence them, they will naturally be on guard against you, keep an eye on you, and deal with you. Even if they A few people who can't do anything to you will find someone to deal with you, such as Luo Ying and others, and their elders."
"You mean I should get rid of those people?"
"This is naturally good for Brother Han."
"You also said that those people have elders. If I do this, even if I cause a big trouble, I would like to know if this will be good for Brother Wen...?"
"Of course, but, Brother Han, you don't have to worry about me doing anything bad to you behind your back. We are carriages running on two roads and we won't collide."
Hearing this, Han Tian looked at Wen Liang and wondered how credible this person's words were.
But Wen Liang seemed to know what Han Tian was thinking, so he didn't say much and just drank the tea in his cup with a smile.
After a while, Han Tian said: "Then how should I get rid of these people?"
"Brother Han has already made up his mind, so why ask me? But I would like to remind Brother Han, don't be too showy when you get there. It's best to find someone to do it for you. If you can't find him, I can still do it. Recommended for you, he will disappear after the work is done. As long as you don’t meet and talk to those people directly, even if those people do something bad afterwards, they will be caught, and they will have nothing to do with you."
"That's not necessary. I still have a few capable people there."
"Well, that's good. It seems that Brother Han has thought very carefully."
"In that case, I won't bother Brother Wen any more. I want to leave immediately without further ado."
"Of course. Brother Han wants to leave, so I can't force him to stay, but..."
"Brother Wen..."
"Haha, Brother Han misunderstood, but this place can be regarded as a secret place. When my people send Brother Han out later, they will have to aggrieve Brother Han. Otherwise, if Brother Han remembers this place, it will still be a nightmare for me. A worrying thing.”
"Okay, that's exactly what it should be."
"Well, then I wish Brother Han that his wish comes true."
…
Wen Liang watched Han Tian's figure disappear in the secret passage with a smile, and then walked back to sit at the table.
"Mr. Wen, can this Han Tian be trusted?" A person next to him asked hesitantly.
"Ha, you will know later on whether he is reliable or not. But this guy also has some abilities that I can't match. It's just that he is still a little young. After all, he is not old. In time, this person is a person who cannot be underestimated. , Well, let’s see if he can get to that point.”
"Oh," the man thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Wen, since you want Qian Chao to die, why don't we do it ourselves?"
"If we can do this ourselves, will I still use someone else's hand?" After saying this, Wen Liang looked back at the person who asked the question, "Are you also looking down on the money trend?"
"What does a little guy at the fourth level of Qi Refining deserve for us to be so scrupulous about, in my opinion..."
"Shut up!" Wen Liang said unhappily. Even so, he still looked smiling. "Don't underestimate those little guys. If Qian Chao and the others want to kill, they must kill them all." , it’s just that I have some tactics to avoid. Some of them have good backgrounds. If they die, the big guys behind them will follow the clues to find them and turn this place upside down. We can’t deal with those big guys now, let alone In terms of what we have to do, Qian Chao and the others are just trivial matters. If Han Tian can kill them, they will be killed. If Han Tian can't do it, it doesn't matter. Let Han Tian continue to toss in the sect. Let’s just watch.”
"Then Han Tian seems to be a thoughtful person. Can he really kill Qian Chao according to Mr. Wen's words?"
"Humph, he will. Besides, it's just an open move. I also have a hidden move arranged. If it works, then Han Tian will be our best shield."
