Chapter 272: A mission
Before anyone arrives, smile arrives first.
Yi Xifeng thought to himself: Mr. Xueqin said it right, this kind of person is not someone to be trifled with.
Hearing Gongsun Yuanlou's laughter, the inner sect disciples standing in Zuowu Xuanfeng Square began to whisper. Even if their cultivation was not as good as those of the inner sect elders, they also saw the clues at this time.
Everyone has heard rumors about Yi Xifeng and Ye Jingshu, but most of them are just gossips after dinner. After all, there is a huge gap in strength and status between the two. Regardless of the stupid Qingyan Xiaoqing who is blocking them, they are just true rumors. As a disciple, Medicine Master Miao was not comparable to Yi Xifeng.
Even though Yi Xifeng has a handsome appearance, in the eyes of many inner disciples, he and Senior Sister Ye are still somewhat incompatible. If they were to choose by themselves, they wouldn't have much chance to choose with their toes. However, this time Gongsun Yuanlou took action, it made everyone think of another possibility. At this time, the eyes of everyone looking at Yi Xifeng no longer showed the pitiful sympathy at first, but instead showed a trace of resentment and jealousy.
"Could this boy really be with Senior Sister Ye?..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?! I just can't stand this kid's behavior, so Elder Yuanlou punished him."
"But I heard that he and Senior Sister Ye are indeed in love..."
…
Yi Xifeng naturally did not expect that these inner disciples would have such thoughts, because at the moment his attention was focused on the middle-aged man.
Gongsun Yuanlou was wearing a dark black Taoist robe, with dark golden textures faintly revealing a sense of majesty, and behind him stood a tall and thin woman. Her eyes were closed tightly, and her long eyelashes were trembling slightly, giving people a different kind of cold feeling. This woman also wore a black robe, which tightly wrapped her graceful figure, but even so, she still couldn't hide her long legs.
The Hanxing Sword moved slightly, and there was a faint fighting intent directed at the mysterious woman.
Yi Xifeng looked sideways and found that the woman also turned her head to look this way. Although she did not open her eyes, she still gave people the illusion of insight into people's hearts.
"It turns out she is Jiyue."
Yi Xifeng clenched the Night Sword Hanxing in his hand and murmured to himself.
He had met Zhuge Jietian before, the old man with the spirit of the Zhenwu Jietian Ruler. Therefore, he was no stranger to this kind of weapon spirit that could transform into a human form. However, because the opponent's cultivation level was far higher than his own, Yi Xifeng did not dare to release his soul to investigate at first. After all, it is easy to anger these martial arts experts. If you pay attention in advance, you can naturally see the difference between "them" and normal people.
"Elder Yuanlou is so angry. He just came back from traveling outside. Who provoked you?" The boy whom Gongsun Yuanlou called the eldest elder asked.
It was only then that Yi Xifeng realized that this powerful man from the Holy Realm, who had turned old and rejuvenated and appeared like a boy, was none other than the great elder of the Zhenwu Dao Hall, Lu Yuanzhan.
Zhenwu Taoist Hall, the ancestral home of Taoism, is a powerful sect even among the eight sects. Not only does it have the longest sect heritage, but its title of "Two Saints of Taoism" is also the main reason why many sects have to respect it.
Of course, the real strength of the other eight sects may not be worse than that of Zhenwu Daodian. Take Qingyun Sect and Xiaoyuan Academy as examples. As the top second-rate sects in the world (in fact, they can be considered top-notch first-rate sects when combined), their foundations are also the same as those of Yunxiao. Zong. After fifty years of keeping a low profile, three powerful men from the Holy Realm suddenly appeared.
Even if he has just entered the Holy Realm, he is still a great monk in the Martial Realm! Therefore, no one can tell the true number of how many other major sects in the world have from the Holy Realm.
"Haha, I saw Elder Ma trapping these brats with the magic formation. I was afraid that it would affect their souls over time, so I helped them break the formation." Gongsun Yuanlou explained without blushing.
But for such a far-fetched reason, let alone Lu Zhanyuan, even the inner disciples standing in the square couldn't believe it.
"Oh? That's it. Then Elder Yuanlou took the trouble." The boy raised his eyebrows and snorted with a smile.
Yes, this reason is really bad, but it is a pity that it comes from the mouth of the four sword-wielding elders. Even if everyone present does not believe it, they can only hold their necks and follow it. Since no one died and the sword-wielding elder was involved, it could only end as a "farce".
"Don't bother, don't bother, but the Great Elder also has the leisure to come to Zuowuxuan Peak." Gongsun Yuanlou looked at the child standing in the sky in front of him and asked with some indifference.
Lu Yuanzhan chuckled and understood the meaning of the other party's words. If the opponent's sudden attack as a sword-wielding elder was indeed unreasonable, then it was even more unexpected for him, as the great elder, to block it.
"Haha, I was passing by."
"..."
If Gongsun Yuanlou's reasons just now were a bit "perfunctory", then Lu Yuanzhan's reasons now were a bit "insulting". After all, it is impossible for anyone to casually block a powerful attack from a warrior at the peak of the Hero Realm. Even if this person is a strong man from the Holy Realm, it is difficult to protect others without defense.
Gongsun Yuanlou narrowed his eyes, glanced at Yi Xifeng in the crowd, then turned around and disappeared from the place. Elder Fan and Elder Ma are both very mature people. They immediately stood up and said with cupped hands: "Congratulations to Elder Yuanlou!"
The little boy in black Taoist robe ignored Gongsun Yuanlou's departure. On Zhenwu Mountain, he couldn't really do anything, and with Ji Yue there, he really couldn't do anything against Yuanlou. He had no choice but to turn around and "climb down" from mid-air step by step, and arrived at the square of Zuowuxuan Peak.
All the inner disciples present immediately held their breath and concentrated. Previously, they had had some intense brainstorming and discussions about the relationship between Yi Xifeng and Ye Jingshu. When I saw the Great Elder really coming, I suddenly realized that the person who saved Yi Xifeng was the Great Elder. Could it be that...
When I thought of this, the resentment and jealousy that had just arisen suddenly disappeared.
"Kid, I have a task that I need you to do." The boy turned his back to everyone and did not speak, but his voice already sounded in Yi Xifeng's soul.
The fair young man turned his head and looked at the fellow disciples around him, and found that they were still holding their breath and concentrating, so he knew that only he must have heard what he said just now.
"Don't refuse in a hurry. I know you are afraid of trouble." Lu Yuanzhan continued.
"You have a good talent, but it's a pity that you can't pass the word "love". And although your self-created swordsmanship and internal energy skills are not very sophisticated, it might be a very interesting thing if you can show your own characteristics. .”
Having said this, he paused and continued: "I want you to go to the Western Region this time. It only represents yourself, not the Zhenwu Dao Temple."
