Xie Buxiu, who was disguised as "Lu Jian", nodded and allowed the Xian Tian Palace disciple to lead the way.
On the surface, he maintained his dignity as an elder, but in his mind, he was trying to inform Chen Luoyang.
Then, Chen Luoyang's voice rang in his ears, "Follow him."
Xie Buxiu calmed himself down and followed the Xian Tian Palace disciple through some secluded areas, heading towards the palace's core.
Chen Luoyang followed Xie Buxiu's perspective and looked around the Xian Tian Palace.
Now that Xie Buxiu was disguised as Lu Jian, he had to pay attention to his manners and couldn't look around.
Chen Luoyang's perspective was also somewhat limited.
But he wasn't in a hurry, he just observed carefully.
It was at this moment, he heard some noises.
Xie Buxiu looked towards the direction of the noise.
A few young men could be seen arguing with one another over something.
The scene also entered Chen Luoyang's vision.
Then, he saw that there was actually a familiar face among them.
It was the young Xian Tian Palace disciple that he unintentionally brought to the 'tree house'.
He was currently standing with another young man.
This young man, Chen Luoyang and Xie Buxiu both knew him.
But just like Elder Xun Feng, they only knew of his existence and had seen his portrait, but they had never really interacted with him.
The young man beside Ji Zhong was called Shentu Jingran.
His grandfather was one of the eight great elders of the Xian Tian Palace, Elder Kan Shui, Shentu Hou.
Shentu Jingran was not a good-for-nothing second generation. On the contrary, the reason why he was known by Chen Luoyang and Xie Buxiu, the two Ancient God, was because of his outstanding cultivation base and strength. He was one of the most outstanding figures in the Xian Tian Palace.
Although he wasn't as outstanding as Cheng Yingtian, Lian Buyi, and Shen Tianzhao, he was still outstanding.
Despite his young age, he had already reached the sixteenth level and achieved the Martial Saint Body, comparable to many elders in the Xian Tian Palace. In the outside world, he was on par with Cheng Longyuan, Cheng Fengyuan, Ancient God Lin Yan, Tang Yiming, and the others.
However, due to the fact that Xian Tian Palace had always kept a low profile, Shentu Jingran rarely showed himself outside. Thus, his reputation was not as great as Lin Yan, Cheng Fengyuan, and the others.
However, due to the unfriendly relationship between the Ancient God of God and Xian Tian Palace, the Ancient God of God of God had collected intelligence on Xian Tian Palace's experts. Thus, Chen Luoyang and Xie Buxiu were able to recognize Shentu Jingran.
Meanwhile, Shentu Jingran was lecturing a few young Xian Tian Palace disciples.
"… We are all disciples of the palace. Even if we don't get along with Ji Zhong's temperament, we must not bully him."
When he spoke, the Xian Tian Palace's disciples could only listen obediently.
While Ji Zhong stood at Shentu Jingran's side, his expression was slightly unnatural.
Although Chen Luoyang didn't know the cause and effect, he roughly understood the situation with a glance.
With Ji Zhong's personality, he might not be able to get along with many people.
The other Xian Tian Palace disciples had their own conflicts with him.
However, according to his personality, he probably wouldn't do such a thing.
Judging from the current situation, it was very likely that Shentu Jingran had interfered.
Hence, Ji Zhong's expression was slightly unnatural.
As for the Xian Tian Palace's disciples who were reprimanded by Shentu Jingran, most of them were helpless.
One of the disciples who was more familiar with Shentu Jingran smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Martial Brother Shentu, you really overestimate us. We can't push him away."
As the Xian Tian Palace's disciple spoke, he glanced at Ji Zhong.
"It's clearly him who pushed us away."
Shentu Jingran remained unmoved, "Anyway, I hope there won't be a next time."
The Xian Tian Palace's disciples in front of him replied helplessly, "Yes, Senior Martial Brother Shentu."
Shentu Jingran turned around and looked at Ji Zhong. Ji Zhong clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Senior Martial Brother Shentu. I will always reflect on myself and won't cause any trouble."
"That's for the best." Shentu Jingran nodded.
The Xian Tian Palace's disciples in front of him quickly dispersed.
Ji Zhong also wanted to leave, but Shentu Jingran stopped him, "There's no time like the present. I will test your homework today."
"Yes, Senior Martial Brother." Ji Zhong seemed to be slightly surprised, but his mood was as calm as ever. He immediately left with Shentu Jingran.
Before Shentu Jingran left, he glanced at Xie Buxiu who was hiding in the dark, but he didn't stop and left with Ji Zhong.
Upon seeing this, Xie Buxiu also retracted his gaze and walked on his own path.
He tried to contact Chen Luoyang and said, "Hierarch, that Shentu Jingran should have noticed me just now, but he didn't expose me. Is he with Yue Zhengbo and Lu Jian?"
"That's right, including Elder Kan Shui, Shentu Hou," replied Chen Luoyang as if nothing had happened.
Xie Buxiu calmed down and continued to move forward.
But Chen Luoyang's thoughts didn't stop there.
Xie Buxiu didn't recognize Ji Zhong, so he didn't know about Ji Zhong's uniqueness. But Chen Luoyang didn't neglect it.
After all, when he used the mysterious black pot to inquire about Ji Zhong's information, the result was that the amount of wine required was far beyond Ji Zhong's cultivation level.
Although he temporarily put this matter aside, Chen Luoyang didn't forget that this young disciple of Xian Tian Palace was extraordinary.
In today's game, what role will he play?
When the people of Xian Tian Palace took him in, did they notice any clues or know about the secrets hidden in him?
Chen Luoyang was deep in thought.
The simple framework in front of him was slowly becoming more and more plentiful.
Previously, he couldn't get any information about Ji Zhong through the black pot and the red wine.
But now, the black pot had turned into a white jade bottle. If he continued to inquire about Ji Zhong, would he be able to get anything?
What about Chen Chuhua, Ying Qingqing, Su Wei, and the others?
While Chen Luoyang was pondering, his vision had already followed Xie Buxiu to the center of Xian Tian Palace.
However, the Xian Tian Palace's disciple didn't bring Xie Buxiu straight to the central palace. Instead, he brought him to a side palace.
As soon as they entered the side palace, there were already two people waiting for them.
Both Chen Luoyang and Xie Buxiu's heart skipped a beat.
The two people in the side palace were the elders guarding outside of Xian Tian Palace, just like Lu Jian.
Now, the three of them had snuck back into the palace.
"Old Fang, I thought you wouldn't make it this time." Just like Lu Jian, Xie Buxiu greeted one of them with familiarity before he turned to the other and nodded, "Senior Martial Brother Gao."
Elder Gao nodded back in a reserved manner, "Junior Martial Brother Lu."
While the other Elder Fang smiled, "I've been waiting for this day for dozens of years, how can I not come?"
"Lu Jian" said, "You are the hardest one to hide from others. I'm afraid that you'll be too impatient and alert the enemy."
Elder Fang was shocked, "You stupid deer, don't underestimate me."
After the Xian Tian Palace disciple led Xie Buxiu to the side palace, he left the side palace.
In the side palace, the three of them greeted each other and chatted for a while before they returned to silence.
After a moment of silence, Elder Fang sighed again, "Success or failure, it all depends on today."
Xie Buxiu, disguised as "Lu Jian", nodded without saying a word.
On the other side, Elder Gao said, "Be patient, wait for Elder You and the others' orders."
Elder Fang also nodded and the side palace quieted down. The three of them sat facing each other silently and waited patiently.
Chen Luoyang followed Xie Buxiu's line of sight and looked at the two Xian Tian Palace's outer hall guardian elders.
Comparing Lu Jian and the dead Cheng He's life experiences, Chen Luoyang got a lot of useful information.
But there were still many details that he wasn't clear about.
For example, Ji Zhong just now was an accident that was neither too big nor too small.
However, Chen Luoyang didn't have the intention to delve deeper into it.
He didn't plan to obstruct the other party's plan.
On the contrary, he hoped that the other party's plan would succeed so that he would have a chance to push the other party in the direction he liked.
In a dead pond, there was no room for him to make a move.
Regardless of whether it was good or bad, he would only have a chance if he could make everything move.
For now, he would just have to wait and see and go with the flow.
He only hoped that the other party wouldn't disappoint him.
If he had to ask about something, the thing that he was most concerned about was …
What was Cheng Yingtian doing?
Was he like Chen Luoyang, watching from the sidelines, or did he have another way to enter the Xian Tian Palace?
Chen Luoyang believed that even if Cheng Yingtian didn't enter, he would at least have a way to monitor the changes in real time like he did.
….
In another palace in Xian Tian Palace, an old man dressed in black stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the ceiling in Silence.
Then, a middle-aged man walked into the palace silently, "Greetings, Elder You."
The old man turned around, looked at the middle-aged man and nodded, "You are finally here."
He looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "How is the young Lord?"
The middle-aged man nodded, raised his hand and rolled up his sleeves.
On his hand, there was a bracelet that looked like it was made of agate.
From the bracelet came a clear voice, "Thank you for your concern, Elder You."
The old man said, "Now that the young Lord is here, I feel much better."
"Of course not, I'm here to witness the ceremony." The voice from the bracelet said, "Today is Elder You's big day, I would like to congratulate Elder You for changing the heaven and earth."
The old man said, "Thank you, young Lord."
He then turned to the middle-aged man and said, "Go and meet up with them, we will depart together later."
The middle-aged man lowered his sleeves, covered the bracelet again, bowed at the old man and left.
A Xian Tian Palace disciple led him to the side palace.
In the side palace, Xie Buxiu and the other two saw the middle-aged man and greeted him together.
Chen Luoyang watched in Silence through Xie Buxiu's eyes, he thought, This is another outer hall guardian elder of Xian Tian Palace.
After waiting for a while, a fifth person came in. It was an old woman dressed in elegant and luxurious clothing.
Of the eight outer hall guardian elders, five were gathered here.
After greeting each other, the five of them sat down in Silence and waited.
All of a sudden, a melodious bell rang outside the palace.
Chen Luoyang counted in his heart.
Six rings.
According to the rules of Xian Tian Palace, eight rings was the highest standard.
Six rings meant that this was just a regular meeting, nothing special.
However, the truth might be different from the host's expectations ….
