Wang Xuanling and Chu Liang were fully dressed and stepped forward to knock on the attic door again.
Tuk-tuk-tuk.
After a while, the shrimp soldier and crab general opened the door again and asked, "Who is coming?"
Chu Liang directly unfolded the scroll without saying a word. Just now, Yuan Luxian relied on the statue of the Goddess of the South China Sea to successfully enter the attic.
Sure enough, when the two spirits saw the painting, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
Then he got up again and asked again: "Who are you two..."
"Pluto Sect, Xuanyinzi." Wang Xuanling raised her hand to reveal the token.
"Zijinhou." Chu Liang also showed his sign.
"It turns out that two great masters are here. Please wait a moment. The younger one is reporting to the Master of the Navy." The shrimp-headed monster turned around and quickly went up to report.
Not long after, he ran down again and shouted loudly: "Master Haishi is here to invite you!"
The first floor was empty, so Xia Bing Crab closed the door before leading the two of them up to the second floor of the attic. There are no rooms on this floor, just a huge long table.
Sitting at the head of the long table was a thin old man with a gray beard. He had a very deep breath and sat upright, with a sense of vastness surrounding him.
It's like sitting there and there is a sea.
It should be the naval division that the shrimp soldiers and crab generals talked about.
To his right sat Yuan Luxian, followed by several demon cultivators.
Before he could sit down, Yuan Luxian of the West Sea Demon Sect took the lead and sneered: "Zijin Hou, I finally see you in person. You probably didn't expect that I would be here today, right?"
Previously, he had discussed with the Marquis of Zijin to participate in the grand event, but the plan was foiled by Chu Liang, who had the token of the Marquis of Zijin. This incident made him directly angry with the Pluto Sect, and the Xihai Demon Sect started a war with the Pluto Sect. The two sides have been fighting for several years, with each suffering casualties.
"Headmaster Yuan, what happened that day was something I had no choice but to do." Chu Liang said calmly.
If you ask others about this matter, you may still be confused, but when you ask Chu Liang, you just happen to ask the person involved.
Just listen to his slow answer: "I had no intention of becoming an enemy of Master Yuan, but Lin Poyun was worried that you would threaten his position as the leader of the Demon Sect after taking Jingtian Bagua, so he ordered me to sabotage it secretly. And the reason why I endured all the hardships was just to deceive his trust and find the place where he imprisoned the former sect master. After several years of searching, I finally found the place where the former sect master was trapped and rescued him."
As he spoke, he looked at Wang Xuanling behind him.
Wang Xuanling was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes."
well.
Chu Liang sighed secretly, the old man is not good at acting. I have already told him the background story, and I don’t want to add a few more sentences.
However, if you say too much, you may be wrong, which is not a bad thing.
"Haha." The old man at the top suddenly laughed, "I contacted Xuanyinzi Sect Master back then, but soon there was no news. It turned out that he was imprisoned by the new Sect Master. But now that he is out, it is time to make a comeback."
"Not bad." Wang Xuanling sat down and replied calmly.
After Chu Liang sat down, he also smiled and said: "We came to Nanhai today because of the previous things. We don't want Nanhai to be so busy today. In this case, we won't disturb you much. You can just talk about yourselves. If necessary, We can avoid it.”
In fact, he had no idea what Xuanyinzi's plan was with this group of people. He just mentioned it so proactively and then gently avoided it to avoid being asked.
"Eh." The old man raised his hand, "If I was afraid that you would listen, I wouldn't have asked you to come up."
Yuan Luxian still said angrily: "It turns out that Lord Haishi contacted him so early. It seems that we, the Demon Sect of the West Sea, were the last to catch your eye."
"Master Yuan, please don't be angry. Your Xihai Demon Sect has been staying in a corner for the past few years. Even if we want to contact you, we have no way of knowing. It was only in recent years that we became aware of your ambitions." The old man said leisurely.
"It is true, and the Xihai Demon Sect has fought fiercely with the Pluto Sect in recent years, which shows that in addition to the righteous way, our common enemy is Lin Poyun." Chu Liang continued: "We should cooperate sincerely."
"Who knows if you are an undercover agent sent by Lin Poyun?" Yuan Luxian seemed to think that what he said was reasonable, but he was the reason for his anger in the past few years, so he was still a little angry.
"Headmaster Yuan!" Chu Liang said: "If I am an undercover agent sent by the Pluto Sect, I will be killed and become an orphan!"
His tone was hesitant and every word was sonorous, leaving few people present disbelieving.
"Hmph." Yuan Luxian snorted coldly and stopped talking.
"Okay, okay." The old man waved his hand to be the peacemaker, "Xuan Yinzi and Zijin Hou, you two came here this time to want to cooperate, so you can talk openly."
"Since Headmaster Yuan came first, you naturally talk first." Chu Liang smiled bitterly, "Besides, we are weak now, so we don't have the right to speak first."
"Don't mention this again. All those who come through the door are distinguished guests of my Guixu Sect." The old man shook his head.
But he still turned to look at Yuan Luxian, "The old man will talk to Master Yuan first."
Wang Xuanling looked at him in shock, how could he be like this?
Why do I feel like this guy is so knowledgeable when discussing things with the Demon Cultivator? It seems like he knows everything that the Demon Cultivator doesn't know.
It would be best for you to recuperate in a secret realm these past few years, rather than secretly join the underworld.
"My conditions are very simple." Yuan Luxian also said straightforwardly: "As long as you get rid of the Xihai Sword Emperor as promised before, then our Xihai Demon Sect can cooperate with all your plans. But there is one condition. Once the Nine If the Celestial Immortal Sect uses the artifact, I will leave immediately."
"The artifact is indeed a troublesome thing. No one will face the enemy head-on." The old man chuckled and said, "Of course I won't force you to die."
Just as the conversation started here, there were footsteps again, and a figure came up the stairs.
The person who came was a middle-aged man wearing a large cloth robe, with a little stubble on his face and a lazy expression. A large wine gourd hung around his waist.
When Chu Liang saw this person, he immediately felt familiar.
Huo Tianya!
This person was the Yinghuo party member who was outside the Huangyang Secret Territory that day.
Sure enough, any turmoil in the world is inseparable from Ying Huo's shadow.
Huo Tianya came to the old man, took out a palm-sized black flag, and said, "Master Haishi, here you go."
The magical weapon he took out was the Vast Sea Cloud Dragon Banner!
"Haha." Master Hai took the little black flag and said with emotion: "It would be great if it could be as easy to go to the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect to get the artifact as it is to go to the Sea King Sect to get the Vast Sea Cloud Dragon Banner."
Huo Tianya looked at Chu Liang and Wang Xuanling sitting over there, and suddenly asked: "Who are these two?"
"These two are Xuanyinzi and Zijinhou, the former sect masters of the Pluto Sect." Hai Shi introduced.
"Huh?" Huo Tianya frowned, "Isn't that right? I have met Marquis Zijin before..."
Good morning.
