Hong An Island, Chi Jin Palace. < > Friendly Fight >
In the main hall, a man in white with his hair in a bun was sitting upright. He was looking at the letter in his hand with his eyebrows raised.
His face was delicate and pale, but his nose was hooked and his eyes were bright. Even though he was thin and small, he still stood up straight.
This person was the direct disciple of Chongyue Zhen Temple, Shen Minggu. He snorted and threw the letter in his hand on the table. He sneered, "This Xu Cuo's ability is not good enough. He asked someone to capture him, but he wants me to go and take care of this for him. How ridiculous."
Sitting below him was a cultivator with short eyebrows and a big nose. He was his junior disciple, Shen Cong. He saw that Shen Minggu seemed to be quite impatient and hurriedly said, "After the elders of Xu learned of this, they have come to ask about it. Senior disciple, please consider carefully."
Shen Minggu smiled disdainfully, "This Zhang Yan challenged me. If I don't go, I'm afraid they will say that I didn't help and deliberately caused the death of my fellow disciple."
Shen Cong carefully asked, "Then senior disciple, are you going or not?"
Shen Ming Gu lowered his head to look at the letter. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he said, "I've met with the direct disciples of the Nan Hua Sect and the Tai Hao Sect these days. They're only so-so. I'll write a letter later. Send it to that Zhang Yan. I want to see what's so great about the disciples of the Ying Cang Sect."
Shen Cong consulted, "Then … should I bring the 3000 drops of Ren Kui Water Essence that Zhang Yan asked for?"
Shen Minggu waved his hand and said, "Yes! Xu Cuo is willing to pay, so I will bring it for him. Otherwise, Xu Clan will say that I have ulterior motives. Are you afraid that they can't pay? "
Shen Cong thought for a while and said, "I heard that this person and Tao Zhenren's disciples are now together. A few days ago, I caught that Shen Yan. Senior disciple is going now. I'm afraid it's a trap. "
Shen Ming Gu said indifferently, "Junior Martial Brother is worrying too much. The letter clearly states that they asked me to meet in front of Oxhorn Island. This island is the territory of my Chongyue Zhen Temple. Do you think I'm afraid of them playing some tricks?"
Shen Cong thought carefully. He felt that as long as he was careful, there wouldn't be any accidents.
However, at this time, a seal letter painted with a glaring scarlet color flew into the palace. It flew straight up to the palace.
Shen Ming Gu, who originally had a calm expression, glanced at it, and his expression changed. He hurriedly reached out to grab it. He held the talisman in his hand. With a solemn expression, he tore it open. He took out the letter and opened it. His brows furrowed for a moment before relaxing. After reading it, his eyes lit up and he stood up abruptly, "Heaven's will, heaven's will! It seems like I need to return to the sect as soon as possible! "
Shen Cong was shocked. He stood up with a nervous expression and said, "Senior Martial Brother. What exactly happened? " This scarlet talisman letter was not an ordinary letter. It was an extremely urgent matter that would only be sent out by Chongyue Zhen Temple.
With a shake of Shen Minggu's hand, the letter shattered into pieces. He laughed heartily and said, "Elder Xu failed to forcefully break through. His thousand years of cultivation was destroyed in a day, and now he's dead. However, one of the three treasures of our sect, the Murderous Shadow Blade, needs to be hosted by another third generation disciple. Heaven is really helping me. Without Xu Cuo, who else in the sect can compete with me? "
Hearing this, Shen Cong's eyes also lit up. He became excited as he listened. After a while, he suddenly came to his senses and said in a small voice, "Senior Martial Brother means … let Xu Cuo go, and don't bother with him?"
Shen Minggu waved his hand and said, "No, wouldn't that give others an excuse?" Not only do we have to go, we have to go quickly. "He suddenly thought of something and asked," I heard that Zhang Yan and Tao Zhenhong's disciples are together? "
Shen Cong nodded and said, "Yes."
Shen Minggu pointed at him and said, "Okay, you go personally. Not only do you have to bring the three thousand drops of Ren Kui Water Essence, but also release Shen Yan. In short, we have to wash our hands clean of this matter and not let the Xu family get hold of us, and …"
He looked at Shen Cong with a burning gaze and said, "When you go, you might as well hint to that Zhang Yan to detain Xu Cuo for a few more days. Don't rush to release him, but don't leave behind any evidence."
Shen Cong nodded and glanced at Shen Minggu, who was in high spirits, and said in a muffled voice, "It's just that if Senior Martial Brother doesn't go to the battle, this matter may affect your reputation. It will make others think that you are afraid of that Zhang Yan."
Shen Minggu sneered and said, "Compared to the Murderous Shadow Blade, this mere reputation is nothing. I'll find a chance to get it back in the future. Besides, the day Tao Zhenhong opens the sect is in the first month. When the time comes, if I have the help of the Murderous Shadow Blade, why should I worry that I can't succeed? As for other matters, put them aside for now. "
Shen Cong had always admired this Senior Martial Brother of his. At this moment, he said loudly, "Senior Martial Brother, don't worry. You can go back to the sect and leave this matter to me."
Shen Minggu looked at him and said in a deep voice, "Remember, speak less and be more humble. At this moment, don't create unnecessary trouble."
Shen Cong nodded heavily, then cupped his hands and said, "Senior Martial Brother, I'll go arrange it now."
Shen Minggu waved his hand and said, "Go."
Shen Cong left the main hall and went back to make some arrangements. He took Shen Yan out and put him in a human bag. Then he went to take out three thousand drops of Ren Kui Water Essence. But after thinking for a while, he took out another thousand drops.
After that, he left Hong 'an Island in a conveyance light and went to Ox Horn Island at a moderate pace. The two islands were only a thousand miles apart. In less than an hour, he saw a large ship that was more than four thousand feet long lying on the surface of the sea. There was a thin layer of flame covering the ship's body.
In his heart, he was also surprised. This was the first time he had seen such a huge ship. No wonder this Zhang Yan was so bold as to wait here. Even if it was surrounded, even a Nascent Soul Enlightened Master might not be able to break through the restrictions on this ship in a short time.
When he arrived at the front of the ship, he remembered Shen Minggu's instructions and didn't dare to be too presumptuous. He said loudly, "I'm Shen Cong, a disciple of Chongyue True Temple. Under the order of my Senior Martial Brother, Shen Minggu, I'm here to visit Fellow Daoist Zhang."
A clear voice came from the ship, "So it's Fellow Daoist Shen. Please enter the treasure pavilion."
As soon as the voice finished, the flame on the ship disappeared and the seal faded.
When Shen Cong saw this, he calmed himself down and flew towards the source of the voice. After entering the treasure pavilion, a man with a rough and dark face came forward and said angrily, "Honorable guest, please follow me this way."
Shen Cong frowned slightly and thought to himself, This Zhang Yan's ship is really imposing. Tens of thousands of spirit shells are probably a small number. I can see that this Fellow Daoist Zhang is also extremely wealthy. Maybe he's a disciple of an aristocratic family in Qincang School. But why is the servant beside him so coarse?
He followed Zhang Pan all the way to the inner courtyard. After a few turns along the corridor, he came to a side hall. There was a bamboo curtain in front of him. Zhang Pan stopped. He bowed and said loudly, "Master, I've brought that esteemed guest."
After that, he lifted the bamboo curtain. He said, "Esteemed guest can enter by yourself."
Shen Cong took a step inside and saw that the inner room was empty. There were no other objects or furnishings. There was only a jade couch on the opposite side. A handsome young Daoist was sitting cross-legged. He first praised "good looks" in his heart and then went forward to greet him, "I'm Shen Cong. Greetings to Fellow Daoist."
Zhang Yan's sharp gaze scanned him and then he said with a faint smile, "Why didn't Fellow Daoist Shen Ming Gu come by yourself?"
Shen Cong smiled apologetically, "Senior apprentice-brother Shen has important matters to attend to and can't leave right now. Please don't blame him. However, according to what you said in the letter, I've brought all the items needed to redeem Senior apprentice-brother Xu. "
He reached into his sleeve and took out three palm-sized water pouches. He then sent them forward.
Zhang Yan waved his hand and the three water pouches landed on the table. He picked one up and pulled out the cork to examine it. It was indeed the Ninth Kui Water Essence without a doubt. He was surprised.
He didn't think that this water would be so easily obtained and that he even had the intention to fight with Shen Ming Gu. He didn't really understand the other's actions.
However, his expression didn't change. He capped the bottle and slowly put it down. He said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Shen must have a close relationship with Fellow Daoist Xu in the sect to be able to bring this item here so quickly?"
Shen Cong's spirit rose. He raised his head and looked at Zhang Yan, "Although the surnames Xu and Shen are relatives, my senior apprentice-brother Xu and my senior apprentice-brother Xu don't have much contact."
Zhang Yan's gaze flickered slightly. These words were equivalent to saying that Xu Cuo and Shen Ming Gu didn't have a close relationship. They might even have a bad relationship.
Shen Cong coughed and took out a human pouch from his sleeve. He opened it and revealed an unconscious young man. He cupped his hands and said, "Last time, because of a misunderstanding, my senior apprentice-brother captured a fellow daoist under Tao Zhenren. I heard that Fellow Daoist Zhang and Tao Zhenren are on good terms. So my senior apprentice-brother ordered me to bring this person as well. I only ask that you take good care of my senior apprentice-brother Xu and don't let him suffer any harm. "
En?
A subtle expression appeared on Zhang Yan's face. What kind of person was he? How could he not understand the meaning behind Shen Cong's words.
If the other really wanted to redeem Xu Cuo, why would he say things like "take good care of him"? He was clearly hinting to him to keep Xu Cuo here and not to let him go in a hurry.
Although he didn't know the real reason behind it, he could guess that it must have something to do with Shen Ming Gu not being able to come here. Perhaps something important had happened in the sect, and the other party didn't want Xu Cuo to return to the sect at this time.
He smiled to himself. This was also good. Xu Cuo killed Dai Huan, and he had no intention of letting him go. He still had the intention of fighting with Shen Ming Gu. Now that he had gotten what he wanted, the rest had nothing to do with him. He could just hand this person and Shen Yan over to Guo Lie and the others. It could also be considered as returning a favor.
However, since the other party wasn't willing to take Xu Cuo back, he couldn't let them go so easily.
So he pretended not to know and put on a sincere expression. He sighed and said, "Senior apprentice-brother Shen is indeed a man of his word. If that's the case, Fellow Daoist can wait here for a moment. I'll order someone to bring Fellow Daoist Xu here, and you can take him back."
"This …"
Shen Cong's expression changed slightly. Could it be that this Zhang Yan didn't understand the meaning of his words?
He was anxious and raised his head, but what he saw was Zhang Yan's meaningful gaze. He was startled at first, then suddenly understood and cursed. He took two steps forward, took out a jade bottle from his sleeve, and placed it on the table. Then, he took two steps back. He didn't say what it was, but just stood there in silence.
Zhang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. After a moment of silence, he smiled lightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, I suddenly remembered that this Fellow Daoist Xu seemed to have killed a disciple of Tao Zhenren. His fellow disciples are very sad and indignant. If I let Fellow Daoist Xu go, I'll definitely be stopped by them. I'm afraid I won't be able to return with you. However, I'm not a person who doesn't keep his promise. I'll keep these things for now. In the future, when Fellow Daoist Shen Ming Gu is free, you can come to me to take them back."
Shen Cong couldn't help but curse again, but he let out a long sigh in his heart. He put on a regretful expression and sighed. "Then the heavens really don't fulfill one's wish. No one expected this in advance. It seems that I can only report back to my senior apprentice-brother and then make further plans."
