On the other side, Duan Hu returned to the inn as fast as he could. The eldest lady in the inn, Zong Mengli, looked at Duan Hu with a faint look.
"Is it settled? Can't you really give me the more than one million yuan of essence in your hand?"
Duan Hu was not in the mood to waste time on this matter now, "Not only can't I give it to you, but now I can't even give it to the sect. There has been a big change. We must now return these essence spirits as quickly as possible." Others, otherwise, it will bring disaster to the sect."
"How could it be? Doesn't Cao An recognize you? Doesn't he agree with your method?" Zong Mengli was a little surprised, but she also knew some warriors from other dynasties. Because she felt that the empire, everything remained the same as before in the dynasty. In that state, I didn't understand my position clearly, and I got used to it after being frustrated a few times.
"It has nothing to do with this. Cao An is different from others. He is not alone."
Zong Mengli followed Duan Hu, and she was more interested in this matter now. "It sounds like how many of those who have stepped into the empire's arena are lonely, and they are not all the same. Not to mention that water from far away cannot quench the thirst for nearness. Even if it can, will the forces behind them dare to move?"
"It's really different this time. Cao An has transferred an elder from his sect. The specific strength is unclear, but I think it should be high. He has personally competed with several masters in the empire, and I feel that I have some If you don’t understand him, and you’re not sure about anything, he will most likely not do it.”
"Let's go to those at the King Kong Academy first, then go to the Luo Xian Valley, and finally go to the Ziji Sect. Hurry! Send the Yuan Jing back before Cao An leaves the Fengyun Inn."
"Let me pay it back for you!"
Duan Hu frowned and said, "No, Miss, please follow me. I can run here by myself. I will personally explain to the sect afterwards."
Zong Mengli curled her lips, "You don't want to believe me even in this situation. This is so sad. My father is also the sect leader after all."
Duan Hu did not answer, but replied silently in his heart: If your father was not the sect leader, the sect would have taken action against you long ago based on the things you committed. But I can only think about these words in my heart and cannot say them out loud.
He didn't say much. When he met the representatives of the three sects, Duan Hu, who was used to walking among these sects, just changed his face to a more solemn expression and did not explain or say a word more. , He only said that what he promised before could not be done, and now he will return the Yuan Jing in full. If compensation is needed, within a reasonable range, Duan Hu is also willing to bear it.
Seeing his appearance, the representatives of the three sects thought of Duan Hu's methods and would have to cooperate with him in the future. They did not mention a word about compensation. They wanted to ask about the details, but Duan Hu refused to say anything. The more this happened, the three sects The representatives dared not act recklessly. Just after the two returned all the essence, a terrifying aura came from the direction of Fengyun Inn.
Duan Hu suddenly raised his head and looked at that location, his heart suddenly trembled.
"coming!!"
"What is that aura? Is it the elder invited by Sect Leader Cao?" Zong Mengli's face showed a bit of surprise. The aura was so terrifying. This place was not close to Fengyun Inn, and the aura passed over his head. , but it only made people jump with fear, as if something terrible was about to happen.
This is not a casual breath leak, but a real deterrent.
"It should be, at least the cultivation level of the middle stage of the Ten Scenery Divine Power Realm, not excluding higher realms. With such a master sitting in charge, and then showing the banner of Bai Yujing, in this empire, Sect Master Cao is afraid He will soon be able to occupy a position. Even if some people have doubts, they would not dare to gamble with the lives of their own sect disciples." Duan Hu sighed, Cao An's pace was so fast that he could not adapt to it. .
In the past, he might have been able to maintain his pride in front of Cao An by relying on the fact that he was in the world of the empire and supported by a first-class sect. If Cao An could survive today safely, I am afraid that his pride would also be destroyed in front of him. Completely knocked down.
"Miss, let's go and have a look at the excitement. If it's true or not, we'll know when we get there that the Zhengdao Sect probably won't take action. We just don't know how the Qianhuan Demon Sect will deal with it." Duan Hu calmed down and said He rubbed his cheeks with both hands and looked at Zong Mengli beside him.
The large and small sect forces that gathered in Qingfeng County City, with different thoughts, followed the aura and came to the outside of Qingfeng County City, not far from the place where Qu Rufeng was killed before. The place chosen by Cao An always reminds people of his previous battle with Qu Rufeng.
It is still a piece of scorched earth, a deep pit, no, now it is a medium-sized lake. The Mohe River flows there. It is impossible to bypass such a big pit, so a lake is naturally formed. It's a pity that something is missing. If that big hole was purely caused by the aftermath of the battle between the two, it would definitely leave an interesting story. Unfortunately, it was just caused by the self-destruction of a treasure weapon in Qu Rufeng's hand, not much. of shock.
Most of the people who heard it said that it was a pity that this treasured weapon was lost.
When the two arrived at the scene, they happened to see the representatives of the three sects standing together, standing in the air, looking ahead with solemn expressions. Duan Hu and Zong Mengli then rose into the air and faced the representatives of the three sects. He glanced in the direction, nodded, and looked straight ahead.
Zhou Chengyun sent a message, "Deacon Duan, please come over and talk."
Duan Hu didn't show any pretense. He brought Zong Mengli closer and bowed his hands to the crowd, "Jiuyangmen Duan Hu, I've met a senior brother and a senior sister!"
"Jiuyangmen Zong Mengli has met all the senior brothers and sisters!" Zong Mengli's delicate temperament depends on the occasion. For example, right now, what she shows is a well-behaved and quiet look, not to show off to anyone present. , but because she knew very well that no matter what trouble she caused in the sect, as long as it was not harmful to the world and harmed her fellow sects, her father, the sect leader, could help her settle any matter, but outside, he was more powerful than Jiuyang sect. There are so many sects.
People outside may not necessarily be used to him, and they may not be able to buy into Jiuyangmen's account.
The remaining disciples of the three sects dispersed a little and stood on the edge. The three of them, Duan Hu and Zong Mengli of the Jiuyang Sect, formed a small circle.
"Deacon Duan returned all the Yuan Jing because of that person, right?" Although Zhou Chengyun said this, he did not dare to look at Yang Jian, and even deliberately avoided his eyes, trying not to let his eyes touch Yang Jian's figure.
Looking at the same look from the other two people, Duan Hu nodded and shook his head, "I don't know who the person is, but fellow Taoist Cao told me that he has transferred a supernatural power leveler from his sect. Elder!"
