The Jade Hu Sect at night lost its bustle during the day and returned to its former desolation.
The pale moonlight shines through the window lattice, casting a shadow on the figure standing in front of the window. Although the white frost has completely covered this person's long face, it can't stain the sorrowful clouds between his brows.
"How are things going?" Long Face said calmly, as if communicating with the moonlight.
"Elder! I went to inquire about Nanfeng... It's just..." In the room, in the shadow outside the moonlight, a slightly apologetic voice responded.
"I know..." The man in front of the window twisted his stiff neck, revealing the part of his face that was originally hidden behind the shadow of the window lattice. Lu Chun's appearance only needs to be pieced together a little bit to make Lu Chun's appearance clear.
"Elder, don't worry! I will definitely think of another way..." The man in the shadow sounded anxious.
"That's it! You are a dead person now, so it's better not to show up!" Lu Chun couldn't hear any emotion in his voice, "By the way, how is the situation at Dongfeng?"
"The elder is really good at knowing things. That kid Zhao Xiaozhong really can't hide anything!" After hearing the question, another voice sounded from the shadows, "It's just that the kid named Wu Fan is very smart and actually used the trick. Led Elder Yunlang out! Fortunately, the elder warned me in advance to keep an eye on this kid. As soon as I saw something was wrong, I hurried back and hid Senior Brother He Qing!"
"Not bad!" Lu Chun praised, and then continued to ask: "Come here! Let me check how far you have practiced the Golden Art?"
"Yes! Elder!" As soon as Lu Chun finished speaking, a disciple who was as short as Zhao Xiaozhong came out, but compared to the former, this person's body was stronger.
Lu Chun tapped the man a few times with his hand, then nodded slightly and said casually: "Fighting against Wu Fan... what are your chances of winning?"
"Back to the elder, I have observed that this kid is very weird. He is like two people under the competition stage and on the competition stage. It is really difficult to figure out his strength... so I can only be 50% sure!" The little man frowned. , and then spread out a palm, "But don't worry, elder, I will do my best, even if I lose! I won't let him win too easily!"
"One victory or defeat cannot change the overall situation. You don't have to be too reluctant..." Lu Chun persuaded lightly, and then threw a small bottle to the disciple, "Although this kind of elixir looks ugly, it can help you grow in strength and stabilize your body." Golden Secret! So even if you leave the Jade Pot Sect in the future, you can continue to grow with this kind of external object! But you have to remember that cultivation is a step-by-step process, and you need to wait until the energy of the previous pill is completely digested and stabilized. Keep taking it...don’t be greedy!”
"Thank you, elder!" The little man's eyes sparkled when he heard this, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, "Elder! Don't worry! No matter what happens, we will not let you bear it alone!"
"Just you?" Lu Chun laughed when he heard this, "You will only become a burden to me here, so after the sect competition is over, leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible!"
"But... elder..." The little man moved his lips, still wanting to say something.
"You have a game tomorrow, so you should go back and rest early..." But before the former could be brewed, Lu Chun said as he came to the door and made a sign to see off the guests.
"Elder... don't worry, I will never let you down!" Seeing this, the little man naturally did not dare to stay any longer. He could only grit his teeth and bow deeply, and then disappeared into the night.
"Elder, what about me?" He Qing, who was in the shadows, saw that the little man had left, and then he said, "How about I go to the South Peak now at night..."
At the end of the game yesterday, He Qing was ordered by Lu Chun to go to the South Peak to spread the news. Unfortunately, no one believed what he said, and in the end he could only dismiss it hastily.
And just when he returned to Xifeng to rest for the night and prepare to think about countermeasures today, he saw the little man running over in a hurry, giving him another pill, and whispering in his ear.
He Qing nodded after hearing this, immediately took the elixir and pretended to be dead, and he and several Xifeng disciples who had good communication put on a good show for the Dongfeng disciples who came to find out the truth.
He Qing naturally couldn't hold back his anger after hearing Lu Chun say that he was already dead and could no longer be exposed. He thought that although he was "dead", he was not dead. It would not be a good idea to hide like this all the time, so he couldn't help but ask.
"No matter how much you do over at Nanfeng, it will be in vain, so there is no need to waste any more time..." Lu Chun said lightly: "But I do have an important thing that I need you to complete!"
"Please also ask the elders to tell you that He Qing is willing to go through fire and water without hesitation!" He Qing looked very excited.
"You have already taken the elixir, and you should have a general understanding of the situation of suspended animation... So next, your task is to turn all the disciples of Xifeng into dead people like you!"
"ah?"
…
The night is short, but the light lasts forever. In the blink of an eye, the next morning comes, and the "Elders of the Jade Pot Sect" yesterday gathered again in the building opposite the competition platform.
"To tell you the truth, I have already explored the truth of the Jade Pot Sect! Apart from that bastard, there are only two people who can be considered our opponents. Why not take advantage of the Jade Pot Sect's disciples to gather here and defeat them in one fell swoop? Forget about destruction!"
Seeing the disciples on the other side of the competition stage preparing, one of them, a mottled-haired and unkempt "Elder of the Jade Pot Sect" suddenly spoke.
"I wonder why you, an old mad dog, don't have a long memory, what kind of words can you say?" As soon as the man finished speaking, the person next to him couldn't help but retort.
"What's wrong? Am I wrong?" The former's eyes widened, "We agreed at the beginning to find out the truth. Now that the situation is clear, I wonder what you are still trying to do?"
"Haha... Brother, please be patient..." Hearing the noise behind him, he could no longer hold back. A man in blue robes sitting in front of the two of them suddenly chuckled, "The Witch King did want us to find out. It’s true, but the news about the Five Elements Cauldron has been spreading a lot recently, and everyone wants to get a piece of the pie!”
"With the strength of old brother, it is true to destroy the Jade Pot Sect! But if we really act like this, others will definitely think that we were ordered by the Witch King to get there first! It would be good if we could get the Five Elements Cauldron. I'm afraid that not only will there be no If we obtain the Five Elements Cauldron, we will lose everyone's trust. When the time comes, we will be attacked from both sides, how can we survive?"
"Well..." The mottled-haired old man frowned, "What you said seems to make some sense... Okay, okay, you can do whatever you want, I'm too lazy to participate in such trivial matters!" After that, the old man simply closed his eyes and rested. Get up and ignore the things in front of you.
Not long after they finished speaking, they saw Yun Lang, Lu Chun, and Shi Xuewen arriving here with the remaining participating disciples. They settled the disciples and then came to the building to meet with these "Jade Pot Sect Elders" "Get together.
"Everyone, thank you!" When he arrived in front of everyone, Yun Lang hurriedly greeted with a smile, and everyone stood up and clasped their fists, leaving only the old man with a bad temper crossing his arms and snoring slightly.
"Master Yunlang, since there are only twenty-five disciples left now, how about letting them draw lots to decide their opponents?" Hearing Yunlang's voice, a man standing on the edge of the wall with his hands behind his back turned his head. asked aloud.
Yun Lang was stunned for a moment, and then he said with an easy-going smile: "That's fine, I'll make arrangements right away..." Yun Lang didn't expect that this person would suddenly "offer advice", but after all, he was "asking for help", so he could only He nodded and agreed.
But before Yun Lang finished speaking, the man magically took out a bamboo tube filled with wooden strips from his arms: "Don't worry about it, I have already prepared it!" After that, the man walked down with the bamboo tube in hand. Go upstairs.
When passing by Lu Chun, their eyes briefly collided, and then quickly separated, without anyone noticing this detail.
The twenty-five disciples on the competition stage were nervously waiting for their opponents to be arranged upstairs. However, they did not expect that the bald elder yesterday came to the table under the competition stage and sat down, with a look of confusion on his face.
"Wei is really thirsty after chatting all day yesterday, so today it's up to you to decide your opponent..."
This person is not conspicuous among a group of "Jade Pot Sect elders", and he really has no right to speak. Although he was brought in this time as a temporary job, and no work was arranged, in the end, it was still a lot of hard work. fell on his head.
This person has a kind-hearted look on his face, and he seems to have a sense of intimacy. If he puts a few scars on his head, he can even pretend to be an eminent monk! Therefore, even though it was the first time for a group of disciples to see this person, they did not have any doubts in their hearts.
"Why are you still standing there? Come here and draw lots! Let's start with the little guy!" When he saw a group of people, look at me and look at you, no one moved, this person also slammed the table to urge them.
Only then did a group of disciples react and hurriedly jumped off the competition stage and came to this man's table.
The little man this man was talking about was Zhao Xiaozhong. Although he put his hands together and prayed a few words before reaching out his hands, his palms remained on top of the bamboo tube for a long time.
"I said...what's there to choose from? Do you think this is a vegetable market? Get out of here!" The bald man couldn't help but cursed in a low voice when he saw Zhao Xiaozhong's ink marks.
"Uh..." Although Zhao Xiaozhong also wanted to draw lots and leave, he was very nervous and still couldn't make a choice immediately.
"You coward from Dongfeng, can you hurry up? I hope you have better luck and don't get matched with me, otherwise I will beat you to pieces!"
While Zhao Xiaozhong was struggling, he saw another short figure walking out of the crowd. He stretched out his hand to push Zhao Xiaozhong aside, then drew lots and left without any hesitation. This person was the one who talked to Lu Chun last night. Disciple of Xifeng.
"You...you go too far!" Zhao Xiaozhong was a little angry when he was ridiculed. He gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind, took out a wooden sign and held it tightly in his hand.
The kind-faced elder stroked his bald head and looked at the departing disciples. The corner of his mouth couldn't help but raise a slight arc.
"Haha... That senior's disciples are really interesting..."
