The Kunlun Mountain Range was majestic and towering on the Western Continent. It had attracted the attention of countless heroes for thousands of years. At this moment, on a quiet street in Kunwu City, there were two men standing side by side. They were looking at the undulating mountain range from afar.
One of them had an ordinary appearance. He was wearing an old robe that had been washed so many times that it had turned white. He looked like a scholar who had studied for many years but had achieved nothing. He looked at the mountain in the distance and suddenly smiled. However, he said to the person beside him, "Brother Chen, are they really not your people?"
The man standing beside him was a familiar face. He was Chen He, who had appeared at the gathering point of the Demon Sect in the Celestial City. At this moment, Chen He shook his head and said, "Brother Fan Tui, it is indeed not us. Actually, when we found out that the reincarnation array had appeared on the Kunlun Mountain, we initially thought that it was the work of the spies from the Western Continent. Elder Gui was worried that you would be too hasty, so he asked me to come and take a look. "
The man called Fan Tui smiled. His eyes flickered as he said, "Thank you for your kind intentions, Elder Gui. I have troubled Brother Chen to make this trip."
The two of them turned their backs to the Kunlun Mountain and slowly walked along the street. Chen He smiled and said to Fan Tui, "Then this matter is a little strange. It is not done by the Western Continent Sect, nor is it done by the followers of the Celestial City of the Middle Continent. The other sects are also far away from the Western Continent. It is impossible for them to come all the way here to interfere with the affairs of the Kunlun Party. So, who is the one who did this?"
Fan Tui shrugged and looked helpless. He said, "Perhaps it is a spy who was planted into the Kunlun Party long ago but has lost contact with us? Ever since the battle in the barren valley 10 years ago, the elites of the Holy Sect have suffered heavy losses. We are leaderless and in a mess. Indeed, we cannot contact many people. "
Chen He nodded and looked at Fan Tui. He said, "Brother Fan, the situation over the years has been difficult. However, you have persevered in the Western Continent and turned the tide. You have maintained the situation and gradually recuperated to recover your strength. That is why we are where we are today. I admire you very much. Even Elder Gui is full of praise for you."
Fan Tui smiled and glanced at Chen He. He did not reply.
Chen He continued, "But Brother Fan, from the looks of it, our Holy Church has indeed reached a point where we cannot continue to be in chaos any longer. Someone on Kunlun Mountain who can use such a high-level magical power as the Reincarnation Formation must be an important figure in our Holy Church. However, we know nothing about it. Even to this day, we have not been able to contact that person. Furthermore, after the incident, our first reaction was to confirm which sect that person was from … If we don't change this embarrassing situation, our Holy Church will definitely have no hope of reviving. "
Fan Tui said, "Brother Chen, there's no harm in speaking your mind."
Chen He clapped his hands and said, "Good, Brother Fan is a straightforward man. Elder Gui thinks highly of Brother Fan's talent and wishes to meet you and appoint you as the Vice Hierarch of the Holy Church. I wonder if Brother Fan is interested? "
Fan Tui's expression changed slightly. He looked straight at Chen He and said in shock, "Deputy Sect Master?"
Chen He nodded and said, "That's right."
Fan Tui said, "If I remember correctly, even during the Battle of the Barren Valley 10 years ago, our Holy Church only had the position of Elder and not the Hierarch. In reality, the Elders Council of the Holy Church has been discussing matters for many years. The position of Hierarch has been empty for hundreds of years, right?"
"That's right," Chen He smiled and nodded.
Fan Tui's eyes flashed. "Then I don't understand what you mean by that, Brother Chen?" he asked.
Chen He said calmly, "Now is a time of crisis for the Holy Church. Three of the Five Great Elders died in the Barren Valley. A few years ago, Zhenxianmeng and Fuyunji assassinated us. Elder Feng also died. Now, only Elder Gui is left. Therefore, after much consideration, Elder Gui felt that we should break the old and establish a new one. We should appoint a new Hierarch. This way, we can unify the Holy Church and end the current chaotic situation. All the sects in the world will work together to complete the great cause of unifying the Three Realms. "
Fan Tui took a deep breath. A moment later, he said, "Then the position of Hierarch …"
Chen He said directly, "Of course it will be Elder Gui. In the entire Holy Church, only he can convince the masses."
Fan Tui nodded. After a moment of silence, he suddenly smiled and said to Chen He, "If that's the case, your sincerity in giving me the position of Deputy Hierarch is great."
Chen He said sincerely, "Brother Fan, as long as you agree to it, you will be above everyone else. In the future, when the Holy Church succeeds, there will definitely be a place for you in the Deity Temple."
Fan Tui said calmly, "Brother Chen, you are too serious. The Deity Temple is the residence of the elites of our Holy Church. I do not dare to hope for it. It is just that the matter that I have just discussed is of great importance and involves many people. I also have a large group of people under me. It is not something that I can decide on alone. Please allow me to carefully consider this matter for a period of time. "
Chen He looked forward, his gaze slightly cold. However, he quickly replied politely, "Of course."
The two of them walked forward together. As they looked at the bustling Kunwu City with its buildings, Chen He suddenly said, "Then what about that person on Kunlun Mountain?"
Fan Tui pondered for a moment and said, "Since the reincarnation array has appeared, that person must be a disciple of our Holy Church. As for the fact that we have no contact with either of us, that is probably the result of the chaos in the Holy Church over the past few years. But no matter what, with such a powerful fellow disciple here, we can't just ignore it. "
Chen He nodded in agreement and said, "What Brother Fan said makes sense. That is what I think as well. Furthermore, that person might have done this to spread the news and try to contact us. I think he might be at the Kunlun Party … "At this point, he did not continue. He simply used his hand to draw a random shape in the air. It looked like a circle, but it was a little curved and undulating. It was unknown what it was.
However, Fan Tui clearly recognized this gesture. After looking at it, he nodded and said, "Yes, I will arrange for someone to go."
Chen He glanced at him with a smile and said, "Brother Fan, you are indeed impressive. It seems like you can even plant someone into a top-notch sect like the Kunlun Party."
However, Fan Tui did not look pleased. He only waved his hand and said, "This is nothing. Actually, a large sect like the Kunlun Party has many disciples. It is not too difficult. However, at most, they will be the lowest-ranking servant disciples. It will be extremely difficult to recruit people from the higher ranks. "
Chen He smiled and said, "No worries. We still have a long way to go. There will be a chance to let them know how powerful our Holy Church is in the future."
The two of them smiled at each other, as though they had been good friends for many years. It was as though there were no grudges between them. They walked forward shoulder to shoulder and walked past an inconspicuous and secluded alley on the side of the long street.
…
In the deep and quiet alley, the signboard of the Black Hill Pavilion was still hanging on the door frame. It looked at the quiet alley alone, waiting for a customer that seemed like it would never come.
Old Ma sat on his favorite recliner, his eyes half-closed as he dozed off. Behind him, in the courtyard of the back hall, separated by a long and narrow passageway, Atsu was quietly lying there.
On the other side of the courtyard was a large basin. There were many meat bones in it. Based on its usual habits, the abnormally gluttonous Atsu would have finished the large basin a long time ago. However, for some reason, there was still more than half of the food left in the basin today.
Atsu was lying on the ground in the courtyard. Its expression was a little lazy and listless. It was as though even the meat bones had lost their attraction to it.
On this quiet and lazy afternoon, it was as though the sunlight was gentle and powerless. At this moment, a soft cry suddenly came from the wall in front of them. Atsu's ears pricked up and it raised its head to look up.
Between the green tiles on the wall, the figure of a wildcat appeared.
The wildcat carefully walked on the high wall. From time to time, it looked left and right. Suddenly, it saw the large basin of meat bones in the courtyard below. Its eyes suddenly lit up.
Atsu looked up at the figure of the wildcat. Its only eye was glimmering. Then, it watched the cat look around for a while. Then, it began to carefully jump down the high wall and walked towards the basin of meat.
The wildcat was very careful. It kept looking around and naturally, it soon saw the black dog on the other side of the courtyard. Atsu stared at the wildcat closely, but it did not show any strange movements or expressions. It just slowly stood up.
The wildcat was a little scared and took a few steps back. However, when it saw that Atsu did not have any intention of rushing over, it waited for a while and slowly became braver. The fragrant meat bones seemed to be particularly tempting, and it could not help but walk over there.
The wildcat stared at Atsu while slowly walking towards the meat bones. The small courtyard was very quiet. There was no sound at all.
In the depths of Atsu's eyes, there was a faint beautiful luster that lit up like a green flame.
The wildcat knew nothing about it. Most of its attention was now on the basin of meat bones in front of it. After a while, it finally got to the edge of the basin. Then, it could not bear it any longer. It buried its head and took a big bite.
However, the wildcat still did not let down its guard. With the meat in its mouth, it immediately looked up at Atsu. However, Atsu still stood in the same place and did not move.
The wildcat tried a few times and finally felt relieved. It meowed a few times and was overjoyed to start this hearty meal.
Until it buried its head and ate happily, it suddenly found that there was a shadow covering the top of its head.
It covered its entire body.
In an instant, the fur on the wildcat's body stood up. It raised its head with a scream and saw that a black dog was already standing beside it. A single terrifying eye was flashing with jade-like flames as it stared intently at the wildcat.
A terrifyingly large mouth slowly opened halfway, revealing snow-white and sharp fangs.
The wildcat screamed in horror and jumped up to escape. However, suddenly, a dog's leg quickly pressed down from mid-air. With just one move, it was firmly pressed to the ground.
The next moment, the dark shadow completely drowned and swallowed the wildcat.
