Anyone?
Could it be the head of the Xuanyin Sect?
Lu Chen held his breath and pricked up his ears to listen.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
A ghost figure appeared in front of the two of them, and its slender hands instantly grabbed their necks and lifted them up.
Zhao Jiuyou took out a charm and was about to fight back.
Suddenly, the devil flicked his arms, and the two people flew directly into the secret room. After hitting the wall, they fell softly into the corner.
In the secret room, there was a man standing. He was wearing a green Taoist robe, with white hair and beard, holding a whisk in his hand, and he looked like a fairy.
But behind this man, there were seven fierce ghosts standing!
Every fierce ghost exudes a monstrous aura, and just one look makes Lu Chen's scalp numb.
"Jiuyou?"
The man had a strange look on his face when he saw Zhao Jiuyou.
"Senior Brother, Head." Zhao Jiuyou recognized the other person, Qing Xuanzi, the head of Xuanyin Sect, but he was not guarding the top of the mountain, so why did he come here?
"Jiuyou, why are you here? Who is he?" Qing Xuanzi looked at Lu Chen.
Zhao Jiuyou explained: "Master, his name is Liu Sanbian, and he is the nephew of the twelfth junior brother. Thanks to him risking his life to save me, I was able to escape just now."
"By the way, senior brother, in order to save me, Sanchen accidentally took the Jiuyou Yinsha Pill, and asked senior brother to use the Earth Core Fire Crystal to help him detoxify."
When Qing Xuanzi heard this, a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Okay, come with me."
At the end of the secret room, there are three one-meter-high pillars. On the left one is a brocade box, on the middle one is a fist-sized red crystal stone, and on the right pillar is a book.
Even from a distance, Chase Lu could feel the fiery energy emanating from the crystal.
He breathed quickly and blurted out: "Earth Fire Crystal!"
But at this time, Zhao Jiuyou frowned, pulled Lu Chen to his side, and whispered: "Senior brother, something is wrong."
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, Zhao Jiuyou suddenly grabbed his arm and rushed outside.
Qing Xuanzi turned around and said with a smile: "Jiuyou, since you are here, don't leave."
Zhao Jiuyou's pupils shrank suddenly and he hurriedly threw Lu Chen out. At this moment, a fierce ghost suddenly came out and slapped Zhao Ziyan on the chest.
The terrifying evil energy instantly blasted into Zhao Jiuyou's heart, and she flew out, spitting out a large mouthful of blood in the air.
"Master."
Lu Chen exclaimed, took out a few charms from his arms, smashed them on the ground, stirring up a large cloud of smoke, and then took advantage of the chaos to hug Zhao Jiuyou, turned around and ran away.
And the fierce ghost was still chasing after him.
"Catch them."
Lu Chen was so anxious that his shoes were almost smoking, but he still couldn't get rid of the evil spirit.
Suddenly, two forks appeared ahead.
Zhao Jiuyou said: "Go left, she doesn't dare to chase."
Lu Chen braked suddenly, rushed into the fork on the left, and then...
Plop!
There was a loud noise and Lu Chen fell into a puddle.
After drinking some water, he climbed out and pulled Zhao Jiuyou to the shore. Then he looked up and saw that the ghost was not chasing him.
He breathed a sigh of relief and looked around.
In front of them was a pool the size of a basketball court. There were rock walls on three sides of the pool, and there was only a land of more than 20 square meters under their feet.
The ground was empty, nothing.
"Master, how are you injured?"
Lu Chen looked at Zhao Jiuyou with concern.
"It's okay."
Zhao Jiuyou wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "If I hadn't been injured, you little devil, I could have killed him with a snap of my fingers, hum!"
"Master, why does the head master want to kill us?"
He thought just now that his evil poison was about to be released, but he didn't expect that he almost died there!
"He is not the leader."
Lu Chen was shocked," he said in disbelief: "Then who is he? "
Zhao Jiuyou explained: "Senior Brother Leader is very stingy. Even if I want to use the Earth Fire Crystal to detoxify, he has to think for a long time, but just now he agreed without hesitation."
"And those seven fierce ghosts... They have the Qi of Zhaode Temple... I didn't expect that even the old monks from Zhaode Temple would be involved."
The five major sects have joined the Divine Ministry, which has made the Xuanyin Sect feel desperate. If Zhaode Temple joins the war again, they...will definitely die this time.
Lu Chen was overjoyed. If it was the ghost from Zhaode Temple...then when he released Li Yuhan, wouldn't he be meeting his fellow disciples?
At this time, Zhao Jiuyou continued: "Under the Xuanwu Lake, there is the most precious treasure of my Xuanyin Sect. All ghosts that come close will be swallowed up. They dare not come down. I will take you out of here after my master recovers from his injuries."
Lu Chen asked nervously: "What if the person pretending to be the head brother chases me down?"
Zhao Jiuyou said: "Don't worry, he is also a ghost in disguise."
After saying that, she started to cross her legs to restore her spiritual power.
Lu Chen was a little confused. Based on his relationship with Zhaode Temple, as long as he revealed his identity, those evil spirits would never hurt him, but...
Going up at this time will arouse Zhao Jiuyou's suspicion.
Why do the ghosts of Zhaotoku Temple sneak into this place?
At this moment, a childish voice suddenly came from Lu Chen's ears.
"You idiot is finally here"
"who!?"
Lu Chen suddenly looked back, but there was no one here except him and Zhao Jiuyou.
"I'm in Xuanwu Lake."
The sound came again, and ripples appeared on the originally calm surface of Xuanwu Lake.
"Master!"
Lu Chen shouted, but Zhao Jiuyou seemed not to hear him at all.
He walked to the lake, opened the Ghost Gate and looked down. He looked through the lake and saw a huge turtle!
The turtle is more than ten meters long and has a snake coiled around its body.
"This is Xuanwu!?"
Snake-coated ghost, Xuanwu Prime Minister!
Lu Chen breathed heavily, and suddenly found the snake's head raised and looked towards him.
"Come!"
This voice seemed to have a magical power, pulling Lu Chen. He jumped into the Xuanwu Lake by accident and descended rapidly.
Soon, it was on par with Xuanwu.
The snake head suddenly sprang out and bit Lu Chen on the neck.
Before Chase Lu could react, the huge Xuanwu in front of him shrank hundreds of times and turned into a small snake half a meter long, coiled around Chen Lu's neck.
"The blood of Guimen is so delicious!"
The little snake said greedily.
"Who are you?"
Lu Chen held him in his hand, feeling an inexplicable sense of intimacy in his heart, as if the other person was a part of his body!
"I am the great Master Xuanwu!"
After turning into a turtle, Xuanwu's voice became that of a childish girl, like a little girl who was only twelve or thirteen years old.
"Master Xuanwu? I'd better call you Xiaoqing."
Looking at its green snake skin, Lu Chen casually named it, and then continued to ask.
"How do you know I'm from the Ghost Sect? Also, what happened when you bit me just now?" Lu Chen asked.
Xiao Qing said: "If I bite you, I will recognize you as my master. From now on, you will be the mount of the great Master Xuanwu."
