Just when Han Tian left the sect, Yan Jing, who had been staring at him in the sect, also followed him out.
But this time, he did not continue to follow Han Tian, but cautiously walked around a few times to make sure that no one was following him before he came to Wen Liang's hiding place outside the clan.
There were only a few lights in the dark underground cave. In front of the lights, someone was whispering something in front of Wen Liang. They were the three people who had followed Yan Shuang outside before.
Seeing that Yan Jing also came, Wen Liang was not too surprised. Instead, he nodded to the three people and said to Yan Jing, "How is Han Tian recently?"
"Always within the sect,"
"Has Han Tian started to move?"
"Exactly," Yan Jing said, "Someone delivered the news to him yesterday, and then he left the sect in a hurry this morning."
"Well," Wen Liang nodded, always keeping a smile on his face, "What happened next? Did anyone look for him again?"
"This...I didn't notice it. When I met him in the morning, he was rushing towards Zongwai."
"Well..." Wen Liang nodded after hearing this. Although there was still a smile on his face, Yan Jing had been by his side for long enough and he could tell at a glance that Senior Brother Wen had some words that he had not said.
"Is there anything wrong?" Yan Jing asked tentatively. He was keenly aware that something seemed to have happened.
"Nothing. Oh, when you came here, did you notice anything happening outside?" Wen Liang asked.
"Yes, before I came out, I heard that someone was going to attack that Yan Shuang. It was said that there were quite a few people coming. However, when I left the sect, the situation was calm inside the sect. I couldn't see anything wrong, but I saw him outside. There are some people who look suspicious, they don’t seem to be disciples of the Five Spirits Sect, they are probably those people.”
After Wen Liang heard this, the smile on his face inadvertently faded a bit. He nodded and said, "Since that woman named Yan Shuang entered the Wuling Sect, the Muyang Sect and Motianya in the north have intensified their opposition to Jiu Ling Sect. Due to Genyuan's suppression, the Wuling Sect sent many people out because of the alliance with Jiu Genyuan. Now, the fight is lively in the front, and the rear is well prepared. The inside of the sect is tight inside and loose outside. It seems that there is nothing left. thing, but in fact we are on high alert..."
"Then...then how come there are so many people coming to kill Yan Shuang?"
"Hmph, as you can see, the only ones who can sneak in now are some Qi-refining casual cultivators, and those above the foundation level are blocked out. They are just Qi-refining casual cultivators, who will take them seriously? As long as Yan Shuang can be kept alive, it is enough. As for those who sneak in, they are just training for the disciples in the sect. Those in the sect are too lazy to deal with such people. Besides, those casual cultivators are so stupid that they think they can succeed. After earning a fortune in spiritual stones, don’t you know that as long as you sneak in this time, there will be no turning back, it’s ridiculous!”
"Senior brother, you mean that to deal with the casual cultivators who have sneaked in, the sect will completely let the Qi Refining disciples do it this time?"
"Yes, the Five Spirits Sect has carefully screened the high-level Qi Refining disciples this time and selected a group of capable people, just to catch them all in one fell swoop."
"So that's it!" Yan Jing said.
Although he said this, there were still some important things that Wen Liang did not mention to Yan Jing.
As mentioned before, Han Tian got the news that someone in the Wen family stabbed to death a junior who had high hopes for the Wen family, that is, Wen Ling. The note written by Han Tian was the assassin. While escaping, the Wen family did not capture the assassin.
The assassin was a gentle man. This gentleness was his identity after he took over his body. Before he took over his body, his family was powerful and had far-reaching plans. Many famous families were on their list of plans, and naturally the Wen family was too. In this way, I don't know how long ago, his family arranged two idle chess players in the Wen family, and they have been working in the Wen family, firstly to monitor the Wen family, and secondly, to be useful at critical moments. Therefore, when the people sent took out Wen Liang's letter and showed it to the two men, the assassination took place within a few days, and then the two men and the people sent by Wen Liang to deliver the letter escaped.
But here's the problem. Xuanzhou is not far from Wuling Sect. According to time calculation, these three people should have sent back news many days ago, but so far, it has been quiet.
The people Wen Liang could let out to do this were naturally people he absolutely trusted, and there would be no problems with their loyalty. However, those people had not returned, which immediately aroused Wen Liang's vigilance.
Almost at the same time, a large number of casual cultivators came outside the sect to kill Yan Shuang!
This is definitely no coincidence!
Wen Liang also got the news through other methods. The assassination was successful, and the three people were not caught by the Wen family. However, they still did not return. At least the people he sent to deliver the message should have reported the information to him long ago. , but it never happened. This must be because there was something wrong in the matter. Although the three people escaped the pursuit of the Wen family, they fell into the hands of others!
If... Wen Liang raised his eyes and looked above his head, if those guys who were making a big fuss above could really kill Yan Shuang, and then when the sect was investigating the cause of Yan Shuang's death, one or two people were found near Yan Shuang's body. Those who are seriously injured but not dead must be taken back for careful interrogation. By then, it is impossible for the person being questioned to commit suicide, and no matter what the person who is caught is. He is a tough guy, and the Five Spirits Sect definitely has the means to make him docile. Among other things, Yue Yinglin in Shuiyun Valley is famous for his illusions. Little did he know that Yue Yinglin also had a set of interrogation methods that could make him docile. People unknowingly tell everything in detail!
If at this time...if the seriously injured person found next to Yan Shuang's body was the person he sent out, then no matter how reluctant he was, he would still be charged with killing Yan Shuang!
Although he didn't want to kill Yan Shuang like this, he did have a plan to kill Yan Shuang, a very careful plan!
This is what Wen Liang is most worried about now!
He has always acted in a low-key manner, doing his own things secretly and without leaking any traces. Once the old guys in the Wuling Sect are looking at him and searching for him, I am afraid that he will be caught soon. Live, and then everything will disappear.
And now he is almost certain that his people must have been captured and hidden somewhere without any consciousness. As long as those people kill Yan Shuang, they will be useful!
This is for me! Wen Liang thought.
The first thing he suspected was Han Tian. This person was unwilling to be manipulated by him. Or was it because he sent back the news and asked the Han family to capture his people halfway, and then arranged the situation to kill Yan Shuang?
However, the Han family is not too powerful, and as far as Wen Liang knows, the Han family's greatest ambition is to dominate Xuanzhou. The Han family is not that ambitious about coming to the Wuling Sect to stir up trouble. No matter how brave Yan Shuang is now, as long as the Wuling Sect finds out who is behind the scenes, I'm afraid... Thinking of this, Wen Liang sighed secretly, his family made this mistake at that time, and was uprooted by the Wuling Sect, almost It was completely wiped out. All the elders and brothers died in that accident. It was so tragic. Would the Han family dare to do such a thing?
Therefore, although he had doubts about Han Tian, Wen Liang still didn't believe that the Han family was dealing with him. He just kept a button in his heart, because even if it wasn't the Han family, it was hard to say that Han Tian would not take advantage of this and take the opportunity to attack himself. Attack!
If not the Han family, who else would it be?
Is someone else’s work in your own person? Otherwise, why would the people I sent out disappear so coincidentally after the work was done?
If it is true, who sent it?
When he thought of this, Wen Liang became a little more wary of the people standing respectfully around him.
Could it be that everything he did after joining the Five Spirits Sect was in the eyes of others and he was not aware of it?
Those people stared at themselves and allowed themselves to be tossed around. Although they never took action against themselves, they pushed themselves out when they lacked a scapegoat?
He was not sure about these two speculations at the moment, but someone must be plotting against him, either just to make himself bear the crime, or to control himself in his hands.
On the way Yan Shuang came, Xi Zuo was among the people sent by Jiu Genyuan to escort him. If you think about it this way, there is no guarantee that the Wuling Sect would not be infiltrated into Xi Zuo by others. Now they are targeting Yan Shuang and don't want to be exposed. Come on, the current situation is quite reasonable.
but……
snort! Do you really think I am that easy to take care of?
Well, since you are plotting against me now, I will do something tonight and push you all to the front. Then we will see how you end up!
…
After flying for nearly an hour, the five people, led by Qian Chao, arrived above a fairly small piece of water.
This piece of water is much smaller than Tianshui Lake in Wuling Sect, but looking down from the air, the water is blue and clear, bottomless, and seems to be much deeper than Tianshui Lake.
Seeing Qian Chao stop and keep looking down, Tang Ping thought that the water below was just passing by, but it looked like... Could it be that the ruins this kid mentioned were in the water?
"Are we here?" Tang Ping asked with some confusion.
"Well, we're here." Qian Chao replied.
Several people looked at Qian Chao with some curiosity. Could it be that the ruins they were going to this time were really in the water?
Yanxuan looked at Qian Chao and asked: "Brother Qian, the ruins you mentioned...are in the water?"
Qian Chao replied: "Yes..."
Before Qian Chao finished speaking, Lu Pingchuan said excitedly: "Hey, that's great. This is the first time I've gone underwater to find something!"
Li Jian also asked in confusion: "Why are you in the water?"
Qian Chao said: "This ruins...well...of course we have to go down first to see if there is one. The ruins we opened last time, we got a map inside. Based on that map, I roughly guessed whether there is one there or not." Based on the distribution of spiritual veins here before our Five Spirit Sect, I judge that there should be a ruins in this place, but I am not very sure, so I have always wanted to come and see..."
Yanxuan said: "But... can there be ruins in the water? Who would build a house underwater?"
"No," Qian Chao said, "This piece of water, a long time ago, well, before our Five Spirits Sect existed, was not a lake like it is now, but several continuous hills. I don't know where it came from later. What happened, maybe it was because of that 'Battle Across the Sea', after all, our place was the battlefield of that 'Battle Across the Sea', so this place collapsed, and then it became like this..."
Yanxuan asked in surprise: "Really?"
Qian Chao smiled and said: "Sister Yan, look at our sect. The five gates are built on the five mountains surrounding Tianshui Lake. But in fact, before the 'Battle across the sea', our sect was located where There are no those five mountains at all, nor is there Tianshui Lake, nor the Yuhu Mountain hanging on Tianshui Lake. Those only existed after the war. The maps I found, and the explanations I got from books It's all the same. The 'Battle across the sea' changed the terrain near our sect. The mountains collapsed, the rivers disappeared, and new mountains rose at the same time. Therefore, the map found in the ruins is very different from the current topography. Big difference.”
"So you suspect that this place was inhabited before, and then the place where they lived sank. Now if there is anything, it is also under the water, right?" Tang Ping asked.
"Well, that's true, so I want to go down and take a look first. If I can find it, not only can we find something, but we can also prove that my guess about the distribution of spiritual veins in the past is correct." Qian Chao said.
"But...it seems too deep here. Is it dangerous?" Yanxuan said.
"It doesn't matter, Brother Qian and I will go down together." Li Jian said.
"Hey, I'm good at water, so Brother Qian and I should go down." Lu Pingchuan said.
After the last few people discussed it, they decided to let Li Jian and Qian Chao go down to look for it first. Lu Pingchuan, Tang Ping and Yanxuan were waiting above. If there were no ruins below, that would be fine. If they found ruins under the water, what would happen to them? It's up to you to discuss what to do. After all, it's underwater, which is different from the shore.
Seeing Qian Chao and Li Jian enter the water and disappear soon, Yanxuan said with some worry: "Is there something in the water?"
"Don't worry, Sister Yan. With Brother Li and Boy Qian together, even if there is something powerful in the water, they will know it in advance. If they can't fight it, they will come out and everything will be fine."
Yanxuan nodded, looked at the blue lake, thinking about what Qian Chao said just now, and said with some doubt:
"Aping, is this really a mountain a long time ago, as Brother Qian said?"
"It should be about the same. I heard my sixth grandpa mention it when he was gossiping. The 'Battle across the sea' lasted for a long time, right here in our sect. Those who fought in that time were capable of moving mountains and seas. Monk, there is no distinction between life and death here, so the mountains and rivers here are affected, and there will inevitably be earth-shaking changes. Mr. Qian is right, our sect did not exist before, and the Five Spirits Sect only existed after the 'Cross-Sea Battle' , the five mountains in the sect and the Tianshui Lake only existed after that war. In the past, our place was the territory of the three major sects, Muyang Sect, Meng Cailou and Lion Forest. It was mainly the Muyang Sect. Yes, later on, we, the Five Spirits Sect, poached a large area from the hands of those three major sects. Therefore, the Muyang Sect has always been at odds with our Five Spirits Sect, and the overt and covert fights have never stopped. The other Meng Cai There is also the Lion Forest Building. Since these two major sects are weak in strength, although they have no conflict with our Wuling Sect, secretly they hope that the Muyang Sect and Wuling Sect will fight as fiercely as possible, so that they can Make profit from it.”
Hearing this, Yanxuan suddenly asked curiously: "There was no Five Spirit Sect before, so how did our Five Spirit Sect come from? Could it be that it was founded by the monks from the outside world who stayed after the cross-sea battle?"
Tang Ping smiled: "Of course not. The founders of the Five Spirits Sect were all monks from our Central Continent. However, the establishment of our Five Spirits Sect is a tortuous story. There are many theories, but generally speaking, those founders were all the five Central Continent monks at that time. The top figures of the sect were here to fight against those outside monks who came across the sea. Later, for some unknown reason, they actually fell out with the five sects of Central Continent. Attack, after defeating the outside monks, these people no longer returned to their original sects, but founded the Five Spirits Sect here. Well, it is said that when the Five Spirits Sect was first established, the five major sects in our sect were born out of the previous ones. The five sects of Central Continent, but later in order to prevent the other five sects from instigating rebellion, the five sects were broken up and reorganized according to the practice methods to form the current five sects."
"Oh" Yanxuan now had a vague understanding of the origin of Wuling Sect.
Several people were talking and staring at the water. After a while, Lu Pingchuan suddenly pointed to the water and said: "Hey, Brother Qian and Brother Li are coming up!"
Sure enough, two figures appeared in the water and floated up quickly.
