"Impolite? What can you do to us even if we're impolite? Are you going to teach us a lesson? This is the Red Sky Snail Sect. Elder You, what right do you have? Moreover, we didn't do anything wrong. We were just following the rules! "
"That's right! Elder You, watch your words. Although you're an elder, this is the Red Sky Snail Sect! You came to the Red Sky Snail Sect to meet the Emei Sect's Sect Leader, Gu Zheng. If these words didn't come out of your mouth, I would have definitely sent you away! Now, there are already people from the same sect who went to ask about this matter. They only made you wait for ten minutes. Why are you throwing a tantrum? "
Facing You Shanhe's gritting teeth, the two guarding disciples were also a little angry. Although You Shanhe was angry, he didn't dare to rush over and teach them a lesson.
Actually, the guarding disciples of the Red Sky Snail Sect didn't really want to make things difficult for You Shanhe. It was just that Gu Zheng's identity wasn't announced to the public. With such a thing happening, other than asking for permission, they really couldn't let You Shanhe enter.
After another three minutes, the guarding disciple who went in to ask for permission came out with a yellow-clothed deacon of the Red Sky Snail Sect.
"Sect Leader Gu is indeed in the Red Sky Snail Sect. Elder You wants to meet Sect Leader Gu. Please follow me!" The yellow-clothed deacon said.
"Hmph!"
When they walked through the mountain gate, You Shanhe snorted at the guarding disciples.
"Originally, Sect Leader Gu's identity was to be kept a secret temporarily. In the end, something like that happened on the mountain peak in the afternoon. Naturally, there's no need to keep it a secret anymore. Therefore, Elder You, please don't blame the guarding disciples. They really didn't know that Sect Leader Gu was a guest in our Red Sky Snail Sect."
The yellow-clothed deacon's voice was still considered polite. Although You Shanhe didn't reply, the anger on his face had subsided. However, the yellow-clothed deacon's next words made him want to vomit blood.
"But to be honest, Xie Ying is an elite disciple who wants to enter the 'Heavenly Snail Cave'. Why doesn't he know when to advance and when to retreat? He clearly knew Sect Leader Gu's identity, yet he still dared to bet with Sect Leader Gu on culinary skills. Furthermore, he used the Heavenly Snail Starfish! Tsk tsk, I think to have a brain to have a brain to have a brain. "
"Just lead the way. What's with all the nonsense?" Elder You gritted his teeth.
"Elder You, at the very least, I'm of the same generation as you. Are you unhappy that I'm talking about the younger generation in front of you? What kind of tolerance is that?! "
The Yellow Deacon flicked his sleeves and strode forward, clearly unwilling to continue traveling with You Shan He.
There were many disagreements between the Heavenly Conch Sects. You Shanhe didn't want to say anything more to the yellow-clothed deacon because of his attitude. It had already been twenty minutes since he had agreed to meet with Lu Changming, but he still hadn't seen Gu Zheng, which made him even more anxious.
"Elder You, I'm really sorry. It looks like you'll have to wait a little longer. Anyone who wants to visit Sect Leader Gu has to go through Attendant Wang's approval. Unfortunately, Attendant Wang isn't around at the moment."
Seeing that he was about to reach Gu Zheng's small courtyard, You Shanhe was once again stopped by a disciple on duty.
"Heh heh, Elder You, what a coincidence!" The Yellow Deacon said in a sarcastic tone.
"Kid, don't tell me you're deliberately making things difficult for this Old Man?"
Elder You clenched his fists tightly in the dark.
"Elder You, you're really interesting. Why would I deliberately make things difficult for you? Every time before and after the ancestral worship, the security in the sect will be tighter than before. You know this! Furthermore, Sect Leader Gu is an honored guest of the Red Sky Conch Sect. How can we not pay extra attention to his safety? "
After the disciple on duty finished speaking, he returned to his post. It was obvious that he didn't want to say anything more to You Shanhe.
Bam!
You Shanhe clenched his fists tightly and hit a tree beside him, causing the leaves to fall.
"Elder You, you've gone overboard! Even if you're angry, don't vent your anger on the trees of the Red Sky Conch Sect. If you want to hit someone, hit the trees of the Yellow Sky Conch Sect! If you continue to act like this, I'll take it that you're looking for trouble! "
"Furthermore, you really don't know what's good for you. If Elder Gao hadn't spoken up for Xie Ying on the mountain peak, do you think Xie Ying would have kept his teeth?"
You Shanhe really didn't want to listen to the long-winded words of the Yellow Deacon. His mood was getting more and more anxious.
You Shanhe didn't expect that meeting Gu Zheng would be so troublesome. If he had thought about it beforehand, he would have arranged a longer time with Lu Changming. What he was most worried about now was that it wouldn't be easy to talk to Gu Zheng. If he continued to delay, Elder Hu and Lu Changming, who were left behind, would lose their patience because of his delayed return!
Lu Changming and Elder Hu were quite patient. At least during the period when You Shanhe was away, they had been sitting quietly and waiting for You Shanhe's return.
"Sect Leader, the Sect Leaders of the Black Sky Conch Sect and the Green Sky Conch Sect request an audience," a disciple reported outside the door.
Lu Changming frowned and said, "Let them in."
The Sect Leaders of the Black Sky Conch Sect and Xin Qingzhu of the Green Sky Conch Sect were already aware of what had happened on the mountain peak.
The Yellow Sky Conch Sect and the Green Sky Conch Sect had been on good terms for the past two years. As for the Black Sky Conch Sect, their relationship with these two sects was not good. Rong Qiu was on his way to the Yellow Sky Conch Sect's encampment when he met Xin Qingzhu, who was also on her way there.
"Sect Leaders, are you here to talk about what happened on the mountain peak?"
Although he had been sitting quietly, Lu Changming's heart could not calm down. Now that Rong Qiu and Xin Qingzhu had come at this time, he went straight to the point and even skipped the conventional greetings.
"Yes."
Rong Qiu was a dark and thin old man. When he spoke, his lips only trembled slightly. The muscles on his face seemed to be too stiff.
Lu Changming nodded at Rong Qiu and then looked at Xin Qingzhu disappointedly. "Sect Leader Xin, I always thought that our relationship would be good because of the cooperation between our sects over the past few years. I didn't expect that at such a critical moment on the mountain peak, Su Hong didn't give us any face at all!"
"I repeatedly asked Su Hong about what happened on the mountain peak. At that time, he just felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. He didn't know that they were betting, so he didn't understand the deeper meaning of Xie Ying's words! I'm here this time to explain this matter. I hope that Sect Leader Lu won't misunderstand because of this! "
The slightly plump Xin Qingzhu explained in an anxious and sincere voice.
However, in fact, Su Hong did understand the hint in Xie Ying's words. He knew that saying that the Original Cold Prawns were delicious was undoubtedly the result that Xie Ying wanted to see.
At that time, the atmosphere was too oppressive. Su Hong, who was extra cautious, did not speak according to Xie Ying's hint. The subsequent development of the matter allowed Su Hong to witness Gu Zheng's strength and valiance. Until now, he was still rejoicing. Fortunately, he did not follow Xie Ying's hint to speak. Otherwise, he might have been one of the unlucky ones.
In fact, Su Hong was not the only one who was glad. After hearing Su Hong's report on the mountain peak, Xin Qingzhu was also glad and repeatedly praised Su Hong for doing a good job. However, the Green Sky Conch Sect and the Yellow Sky Conch Sect had been mending their relationship in the past few years. Therefore, Xin Qingzhu had to make a personal trip to the Yellow Sky Conch Sect.
"Haha, Xie Ying's meaning is obvious. I don't believe that Su Hong didn't understand!"
Lu Changming paused and reached out to stop Xin Qingzhu from explaining. "Sect Leader Xin, I don't want to listen to any explanations now. There's not much point in explaining this kind of thing. I just want to know, what do you think of Gu Zheng and that woman?"
"Unusual."
"Yes, unusual!"
Xin Qingzhu gave the same comment almost immediately after Rong Qiu's faint voice.
"Now that things have come to this, there's nothing to hide!"
Elder Hu, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. He told Rong Qiu and Xin Qingzhu everything that Xie Ying had told them.
Elder Hu was different from Lu Changming. If Lu Changming's mental torment was only 30%, then Elder Hu's torment during this period of time was 80%. After all, he was different from ordinary people.
Xie Ying's ability to transmit sound was originally a secret. However, this secret was not very useful. At least, it did not work on the mountaintop. Therefore, Elder Hu did not care so much and even told this secret to Rong Qiu and Xin Qingzhu.
"Is there such a thing? Under normal circumstances, Xie Ying transmitted sound. Has there ever been a situation where the person transmitting the sound could not hear him? "
Xin Qingzhu was very surprised that there was such an inside story.
Lu Changming shook his head. "Xie Ying's sound transmission is very accurate. There has never been a situation where the person transmitting the sound could not hear him."
"I've always thought that Gu Zheng and that woman were unusual. Now it seems that Elder Hu's guess is right. They are a pair of Demon Cultivators!" Rong Qiu said coldly.
"Reporting, reporting to Sect Leader, Senior Brother Xie Ying is dead!"
Panicked voices sounded outside the door.
Lu Changming and Elder Hu immediately rushed out. Rong Qiu and Xin Qingzhu looked at each other and followed them out.
A moment later, Lu Changming and the other three returned to the same room where they had just spoken.
"What do you think of this matter?" Lu Changming asked.
"What else can we think of it? This must be a demon technique! He died tragically for no reason, and there were no internal injuries on his body. If it is not a demon technique, what is it? "Elder Hu said.
Xie Ying's death made Elder Hu very excited. It also made his body tremble slightly.
"Could this be the effect of the Heart Demon Oath? It is said that some people who died in the Heart Demon Realm did not have any injuries on their bodies! "Xin Qingzhu said.
"Heart Demon Realm? How high is Xie Ying's cultivation level? Can he encounter the Heart Demon Realm? What's more, who among us has ever seen someone die in the Inner Demon Realm? What you said is nothing more than hearsay! " Elder Hu stared at Xin Qingzhu. "It is fine that your Green Sky Snail Sect did not help at the top of the mountain. Now that such a thing has happened, as the Sect Leader, you are speaking up for Gu Zheng. Whose side are you on?"
Faced with Elder Hu's interrogation, Xin Qingzhu did not dare to hesitate. "Of course I am on your Green Sky Snail Sect's side. After all, Gu Zheng is an outsider!"
Xin Qingzhu's voice paused, and then she said worriedly, "Elder Hu, I advise you to calm down. You don't look too good. Don't do anything rash!"
Elder Hu's face was pale and his lips were blue. His abnormal complexion and slightly trembling body made him look like he was exuding a terrifying aura.
"Calm down? Xie Ying died tragically, and Elder You went to see Gu Zheng for almost forty minutes. How do you expect me to calm down? "Elder Hu roared.
On the corner of Rong Qiu's stiff mouth, an indiscernible sneer flashed across. Then he said angrily, "Those who are not of our race must have different intentions! Elder You's trip this time is like a lamb entering a tiger's den. Right now, the Red Sky Snail Sect might not know of Gu Zheng's true identity. I think we need to make a trip there immediately. Otherwise, Elder You will be doomed! After all, under normal circumstances, he should have been back in forty minutes! "
"Changming, don't hesitate anymore. If you don't want anything to happen to your Master, we should go now!"
Elder Hu's voice was urgent. Then he looked at Xin Qingzhu. "Are you coming with us?"
Xin Qingzhu really did not want to go. Looking at Elder Hu's current state, anything could happen if they went there! However, under the general trend, he had no way out, unless he did not want to mend his relationship with Red Sky Snail Sect.
"Of course I am going!" Xin Qingzhu said righteously.
Elder Hu was about to make a move. In Red Sky Snail Sect, You Shanhe was about to go crazy from waiting. After waiting for a full twenty minutes, Deacon Wang finally arrived!
There were less than twenty minutes left before the appointed time. Fortunately, Deacon Wang did not waste any more time. After verifying his identity, he immediately let him in.
"Bang bang bang!"
You Shanhe knocked on the door anxiously.
"Who is it?"
Meow Meow's voice sounded.
"Elder You Shanhe of Red Sky Snail Sect is here to redeem the Heavenly Snail Starfish from Sect Leader Gu!" You Shanhe did not care about the embarrassment and went straight to the point.
You Shanhe had already decided that if Gu Zheng's response was easy, he just wanted to redeem the Heavenly Snail Starfish as soon as possible. As for the investigation, it would not be too late to do it later. However, if Gu Zheng's side was not easy to deal with, he planned to rush back immediately. With his understanding of Elder Hu, he was really afraid that Elder Hu would do something impulsive.
"Come in!"
Hearing Meow Meow's answer without hesitation, You Shanhe breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, at least he did not waste time entering the door.
When You Shanhe entered the small courtyard's central room, Meow Meow was holding a book, reading while eating melon seeds. Seeing him enter, it did not even raise its head.
"Where's Sect Leader Gu? I want to redeem the Heavenly Snail Starfish! "You Shanhe said.
"Elder You, please wait a moment. I have something to do here. I'll be there soon."
Gu Zheng's voice sounded in a side room.
"Sect Leader Gu, how long do you need? I have something to do here. I have to rush back! "
You Shanhe did not dare to make his voice sound serious. He was speaking with a smile, but even so, Meow Meow, who was reading with its head lowered, still put down the book and looked at him coldly.
"Five minutes at most."
Gu Zheng's voice sounded again. He was now in the side room preparing spiritual beast food for Meow Meow.
"Alright, I hope Sect Leader Gu won't take too long. I really have something urgent here!"
You Shanhe smiled apologetically again, but Gu Zheng did not respond.
To You Shanhe, five minutes was not too long. Since he was already here, he might as well wait a little longer!
Meow Meow lowered its head to continue reading, and You Shanhe's heart became lively.
"Since I'm already here, shouldn't I test their background?"
"Let's not do that! Everything can wait until I get back the Heavenly Snail Starfish and see Changming and the others! "
"Let's test their background first! After all, I told Changming and the others to test them first! "
"That woman looked at me coldly just now. It's obvious she's not easy to talk to. If we're discovered, it'll be hard to say what will happen!"
"Just be careful. We'll have to do this sooner or later anyway. If we don't figure out their identity, we'll always feel like there's a fishbone stuck in our throat!"
You Shanhe was conflicted, but in the end, he decided that the side who wanted to test their background would win.
There were all sorts of methods in the cultivation world to determine whether a person was a demonic cultivator or not. For example, the Heavenly Snail Sect's imitation Nine-Colored Illusion Snail had the ability to 'see through the illusion'.
You Shanhe's hand carelessly brushed across his chest, and a small yellow conch, which looked like it was carved out of yellow jade, appeared in his palm.
With a thought, You Shanhe's originally empty mouth of the conch suddenly became a pool of clear water that could vaguely reflect a person's figure.
You Shanhe held the small imitation Nine-Colored Illusion Snail in his hand and carefully aimed the mouth of the conch at Meow Meow. If Meow Meow was a demonic cultivator, her true form would immediately be reflected on the surface of the conch.
You Shanhe did his best to control his heartbeat. Just as the surface of the conch was about to reflect Meow Meow, he suddenly cried out in pain and flipped over in his chair.
Meow Meow, who had thrown a plate of dried fruit at You Shanhe, immediately rushed forward and stepped on You Shanhe's head. She opened her mouth and asked You Shanhe what he was doing! But with Meow Meow's foot on his head, You Shanhe, who was already terrified, immediately activated the Nine-Colored Illusion Snail's divine ability.
Yellow light flashed from the conch, and Meow Meow's expression immediately froze. However, before You Shanhe could heave a sigh of relief, the expression on his face froze in fear.
The commotion in the central room was naturally heard by Gu Zheng, who was in the middle of cooking spirit beast food cultivation. Although with his current realm, he didn't need to guard the pot while cooking spirit beast food cultivation, he didn't dare to stray too far away from the spirit beast food cultivation. After all, the spirit beast food cultivation had already reached the stage of completion.
"Meow Meow, what's going on?"
Gu Zheng asked, but didn't receive an answer.
Almost all of his attention was focused on cooking. Gu Zheng could only frown and split off a strand of his divine sense, which could only be used for probing. He immediately saw the strangeness in the central room.
"Artifact Spirit, what's going on?"
Gu Zheng immediately asked. Through his divine sense, Qin Ling had also seen the situation in the central room.
"Both of their expressions froze. The yellow Nine-Colored Illusion Snail's divine ability is an illusion. It seems that You Shanhe launched an illusion attack on Meow Meow. But Meow Meow isn't an ordinary beast cultivator. She has the bloodline of a divine beast and possesses many incredible abilities. She actually managed to pull You Shanhe, the initiator, into the illusion! "The artifact spirit laughed, as if this was a very amusing matter.
"Alright!" Gu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. "Meow Meow will be fine, right?"
"Don't worry! It's just a low-grade immortal artifact. Even if it's a mid-grade immortal artifact, it might not be able to hurt Meow Meow. "The artifact spirit laughed.
"These damn bastards, they really know how to pick a time!"
Gu Zheng suddenly cursed. He had already heard the clamor coming towards him from afar.
