In the Fuxi Palace, the plan was revealed.
Xie Buxiu disguised as "Lu Jian" and the other four outer hall guardian elders sat in the side palace in Silence, waiting for Elder You Hao's orders.
But the person they didn't want to see at all came.
A young lady in a purple dress, no more than 20 years old, walked into the side palace.
The five in the side palace were shocked.
It was one of the eight elders of Xian Tian Palace, Elder Gen Shan, Xue Hongxun.
She was the palace lord's trusted aide. Although she looked young, she had been following the palace lord for over a hundred years. The palace lord trusted her as much as his brother, Elder Li Huo, Shan Song.
Behind her were a large number of Xian Tian Palace's experts. Clearly, they came prepared.
Lu Jian and the others snuck back into the palace and were safe for a few days. But now, it seemed like they had fallen into the enemy's eyes.
"The palace lord has ordered that only the mastermind will be executed and those who repent will be spared. They will also be given a chance to redeem themselves."
Elder Gen Shan, Xue Hongxun said calmly, "We are old acquaintances, don't make things difficult for me."
Xie Buxiu was shocked but he calmed down after hearing this.
As long as his real identity was not exposed, there was still a chance for him to escape from Xian Tian Palace.
If he kept his word ….
"Hierarch, what should I do now?" Xie Buxiu tried to contact Chen Luoyang.
"Do what Lu Jian should do and observe the situation." Chen Luoyang said.
In front of the Martial Saint level Elder Gen Shan of Xian Tian Palace, Xie Buxiu, Xie Buxiu grew bolder as he realized that Elder Gen Shan didn't notice him.
Beside him, another outer hall elder of Xian Tian Palace, Li Chuan, said slowly, "Since we've decided to follow Elder You, we've already prepared ourselves for success or failure. Shan Clan is tyrannical, even if they let us go today, they will surely take revenge on us in the future. If we try our luck, we'll just be digging our own graves."
Elder Gen Shan, Xue Hongxun, calmly looked at "Lu Jian" and the other four and asked, "What do you think?"
Xie Buxiu hesitated.
Just by looking at Lu Jian's reaction to Chen Luoyang, one could tell that he was firm and unyielding in such a situation. He definitely wouldn't betray Gantian Elder You Hao and Xun Feng Elder Le Zhengbo.
However, if he were to forcefully resist, the other party might just kill him to establish his might.
Since Chen Luoyang had ordered him to continue pretending to be Lu Jian, he could only follow Lu Jian's style and not kneel down and surrender.
However, Little Xie thought about it and decided not to stand out. He decided to go with the flow and avoid being killed to scare the others.
However, at this moment, Chen Luoyang's voice rang in his ears again.
"Do what Lu Jian should do."
His voice was neither hurried nor impatient, and there was no hint of anger in it.
However, Xie Buxiu instantly felt a chill from the soles of his feet to his head.
He gritted his teeth and blurted out.
"I am where I am today because of You Weng and Le Weng. If it wasn't for their guidance, how would I be able to make a name for myself under the rule of the Shan family?
The Shan family has been in the palace for a long time. There's no turning back now. Elder Xue, you don't have to waste your breath. "
Elder Gen Shan, Xue Hongxun, looked at the other three without batting an eyelid.
Zhang Heting, who was disguised as an old lady, shook her head. "Junior Xue, you don't have to say anything. I swear to follow Senior Brother You until my death."
Gao Xinping, who was the most taciturn among the five, said, "Elder Xue, you might not be able to win."
Elder Fang Ming, on the other hand, looked hesitant.
Xue Hongxun, Elder Gen Shan, smiled. "It seems that there are still smart people among us."
Xie Buxiu, who was disguised as Lu Jian, turned around and glared at Fang Ming. "Old Fang!"
Fang Ming's expression was uncertain. "The only chance we have is to catch them off guard. However, it's obvious that we've been exposed. I'm afraid that You Weng and the others are already in trouble …"
Other than Lu Jian, Li Chuan and the other two looked at Fang Ming coldly.
Elder Gao Xinping asked in a deep voice, "Could it be that you've already sided with the Shan family?"
"I haven't!" Fang Ming said firmly.
But soon, his expression turned bitter, "It seems like it doesn't make a difference whether I did or not."
Fang Ming turned around and looked at Elder Gen Shan, Xue Hongxun, "In the end, we still can't hide our whereabouts from the palace master."
"There's no need to look. I don't need to provoke internal strife." Elder Gen Shan, Xue Hongxun said calmly, "The truth is, no one betrayed you. But nothing you do can escape the palace master's eyes."
Li Chuan said coldly, "We are all from the Xian Tian Palace. Elder Xue, you don't have to play tricks on us. It's the Innate Disk, isn't it?"
Elder Gen Shan, Xue Hongxun, smiled and said, "You don't stand a chance. It's better for you to adapt to the situation like Elder Fang.
Senior Brother You may have succeeded in bewitching some of them to follow his orders, but you must know that manpower alone is not enough.
The power that the palace master wields is not only in numbers. "
Xie Buxiu, who was disguised as Lu Jian, humphed and said, "I've made up my mind. Say no more."
"You are the weakest here. Why are you trying to act tough?" Xue Hongxun shook his head and reached out his hand to Xie Buxiu.
A [Innate Eight Trigrams] appeared and it spun toward Xie Buxiu.
Xie Buxiu immediately felt like he was being sucked into the Eight Trigrams.
As the [Innate Eight Trigrams] spun, it filled his vision like it was covering the entire sky.
Li Chuan, Gao Xinping, and Zhang Heting, the three guarding elders of the outer hall, yelled in unison, trying to help 'Lu Jian' block the attack.
But as the [Innate Eight Trigrams] spun, their power was diverted to the side.
Elder Gen, Xue Hongxun, on the other hand, was still clawing at Xie Buxiu.
It was at this moment, Xue Hongxun's expression changed drastically and he quickly retreated.
However, the [Innate Eight Trigrams] formed by her palm energy was already torn apart by another stronger force.
In the corner of the side hall, another more profound and powerful [Innate Eight Trigrams] appeared and it swooped down toward Xue Hongxun.
Xue Hongxun flipped his palm and a compass appeared in his hand.
The compass shone brightly and withstood the incoming [Innate Eight Trigrams]. Only then did Xue Hongxun manage to block the attack.
Her expression turned solemn.
In front of Xie Buxiu and the others, a middle-aged man with a medium build and a handsome face appeared.
Seeing this middle-aged man appear and help 'Lu Jian', forcing Xue Hongxun to retreat, Li Chuan and the others were delighted.
Chen Luoyang also recognized the man from Xie Buxiu's point of view.
The second seat of Xian Tian Palace's Elder Council, Elder Kun Di, Nie Guanhe.
Among the eight elders, he was second only to Elder You Hao of Qian Tian.
Among the elders of Xian Tian Palace, Elder You Hao of Qian Tian, Elder Kun Di, and Elder Zhenlei and Mu Chao were the strongest. They were known as the top three experts under the palace lord.
In the entire Red Dust World, the three elders were famous.
However, compared to Elder You Hao of Qian Tian who was always at odds with the palace lord, Elder Kun Di, Nie Guanhe, was known for being neutral and rarely involved in the affairs of the palace. For nine out of ten years, he had been in closed-door cultivation.
Before this, there were even rumors that he was in closed-door cultivation.
But now, it seemed that he no longer maintained a neutral stance and had turned to support Elder You Hao of Qian Tian to oppose Palace Lord Shan Jing.
"Senior Martial Brother Nie, why are you doing this?" Elder Xue Hongxun stared at Elder Kun Di, Nie Guanhe.
Nie Guanhe alone was more important than the five 'Lu Jian's' combined.
This was an opponent whose cultivation base was above hers.
Among the top experts of Xian Tian Palace, Elder Kun Di, Nie Guanhe, was the most low-profile.
But the higher-ups of the palace all knew of his extraordinary cultivation base.
Nie Guanhe shook his head: "Junior apprentice sister Xue, don't resist stubbornly. Today, we also only want to kill the mastermind, we don't plan to make things difficult for anyone outside of the Shan family. Although junior apprentice sister Shan has shown you kindness, you don't need to follow her Shan family to the end."
Elder Xue Hongxun stared at him, "Senior Martial Brother Nie, don't be so sure. You should know that the palace lord's power is not limited to the number of people he has.
It is to prevent you from getting involved in this mess that the palace lord specially gave me the Innate Compass. "
The compass in her hand was glowing brightly. It was the Innate Compass of Xian Tian Palace.
With this treasure in hand, although Xue Hongxun's cultivation base was weaker than Elder Kun Di's, she was still confident.
Nie Guanhe smiled and didn't say anything.
Then, he attacked.
Elder Xue Hongxun saw this and immediately activated the Innate Compass to fight against Elder Kun Di, Nie Guanhe.
The two clashed head-on, but Nie Guanhe didn't seem to have the upper hand at all.
But at this time, something appeared in Nie Guanhe's hand.
It was an existence that looked like a stone tablet.
There were no words on it.
But when the Innate Compass shone on it, a palm print actually appeared on the tablet.
As soon as the palm print appeared, the Innate Compass shook.
Chen Luoyang looked carefully from Xie Buxiu's perspective and saw that there was an identical palm print on the compass.
As soon as the palm print appeared, the Innate Compass shattered!
Elder Xue Hongxun was shocked and quickly retreated, but she was already injured by Elder Kun Di, Nie Guanhe.
She didn't even look back and quickly fled.
Unhurriedly, Nie Guanhe put away the stone tablet and grabbed the dumbfounded Fang Ming with a backhand.
Fang Ming shivered, "Nie … Elder Nie …"
"Tell Senior Martial Brother You yourself later," Nie Guanhe nodded at Xie Buxiu and the others, "Let's go to Fuxi Palace."
Elder Xue Hongxun fled into the Fuxi Palace in a hurry.
Xian Tian Palace Master and Li Huo Elder Shan Song looked at the entrance of the palace and saw Elder Kun Di, Nie Guanhe, walking in with Xie Buxiu and the others.
"Senior Martial Brother Nie, why are you doing this?" Li Huo Elder Shan Song's face was gloomy, "Palace Master has never mistreated you. Now that you are in cahoots with You Hao, you will only benefit You Hao. Why?"
Elder Kun Di, Nie Guanhe, smiled but didn't say anything.
Palace Master glanced at him and Gantian Elder You Hao. You Hao also smiled.
"I understand. Wang Zhang is not Senior Martial Brother You's disciple," Palace Master said Slowly, "He is Senior Martial Brother Nie's disciple."
