Not only were the others shocked, even Zhou Baiqing himself was dumbfounded! He stared at this person in shock before he hurriedly looked at all the Sect Masters and Sect Masters who were looking at him. He never thought that this person would call out his name the moment he opened his mouth. He had never been in contact with the Hidden Heaven Sect!
However, from the way this person addressed Zhou Baiqing as' Brother Zhou ', it was clear that he did not have any grudges against Zhou Baiqing. They were just acquaintances and had nothing to do with him being captured by the Hidden Heaven Sect.
Zhou Baiqing quickly looked at this person and said in shock, "You … know me?"
Hearing Zhou Baiqing's words, this person's tears gushed out like a broken dam. He opened his mouth but could only speak vaguely, "I am … Chang Long …"
Chang Long?!
When everyone heard this, they all felt that this name was very unfamiliar. However, when Zhou Baiqing heard this name, his body shook violently. He was dumbfounded and looked at this person in shock!
Zhou Baiqing's mouth was wide open and he was completely speechless. He had never been so shocked before! His eyes were filled with incomparable shock at first, then he frantically looked at this person's face. When he found an imperceptible dent in the middle of this person's brow bone, he immediately sucked in a cold breath!
"Brother Chang! It's really you?! " Zhou Baiqing's body immediately went numb as joy overwhelmed him. He could not help but rush in front of this person, his eyes immediately turning red!
Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene. Zhou Baiqing's admission meant that these two people really knew each other and had a close relationship! Now was not the time to reminisce. There were two other seriously injured people present. Huang Ding quickly asked Zhou Baiqing, "Sect Master Zhou, do you know him?"
"I do!" Zhou Baiqing immediately nodded vigorously and said, "There is a dent in his brow bone. It was caused by me when we were playing around when we were young. It can't be wrong!"
Playing around when they were young?!
Hearing Zhou Baiqing's words, everyone's hearts tightened. Zhou Baiqing was born in the Six Paths Sect. If they were playing around when they were young, it meant that this person … was most likely from the Six Paths Sect!
"Then this person … is from the Six Paths Sect?" Mo Ce asked directly.
"Of course!" Zhou Baiqing clenched his fists and held back his tears. He said, "He is from the Six Paths Sect!"
"…"
Everyone sucked in a deep breath. How come they had never heard of a Ninth Grade Heavenly Master from the Six Paths Sect? One had to know that all Level Nine Celestial Masters had to report to the Hachiko clan, and it had to be made public within the sect. This was a rule set by the Hachiko clan. Who would dare to go against it?!
Zhou Baiqing immediately took out the best healing pill from his ring and fed it to this person. He knew that everyone around him wanted to know what was going on, and there was nothing to hide about this matter. Zhou Baiqing took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He gritted his teeth and said, "My father and Brother Chang's father were sworn brothers, so the two of us grew up together. Brother Chang's talent is very high, and he and I have always competed with each other. As our strength increased, especially after we became an eighth level Heavenly Master, our goal became the Sect Master of Six Paths Sect. "
"Later on, the two of us cultivated to the peak of level eight at the same time. Both of us wanted to become a level nine Heavenly Master first. After all, the first to become a level nine Heavenly Master would be able to become the sect master first." Zhou Baiqing said, "At that time, the two of us touched the bottleneck of level nine Heavenly Master at the same time, but just as I was preparing for seclusion, Brother Chang disappeared. Brother Chang left a note, saying that he went out to seclude himself to break through and would return after becoming a level nine Heavenly Master. But I didn't expect … Brother Chang never came back! "
Hearing Zhou Baiqing's words, everyone fell into deep thought. After all, Chang Long was not their friend, and it was more important for them to analyze the information. According to Zhou Baiqing, Chang Long broke through after leaving Six Paths Sect. Why didn't he return to Six Paths Sect, but instead fall into the hands of Hidden Heaven Sect?
Not only did they not understand, even Zhou Baiqing was the same. Chang Long was his close friend. Even though Chang Long had been missing for more than four hundred years, childhood memories were the most precious, and friendship was the purest. Even after four hundred years, it would not fade.
"Brother Chang, what the hell is going on?!" Zhou Baiqing clenched his fists and said angrily, "Tell me, and I will avenge you!"
Although the elixir Zhou Baiqing gave Chang Long was far from an immortal elixir, it could at least help him calm his breathing and make it easier for him to speak. After Chang Long took a few deep breaths, he spoke again, and this time, his words were clearer than before.
But when the words came to his mouth and he recalled this experience, he could not stop his tears from flowing.
"Back then, you definitely didn't understand why I didn't go into seclusion in the sect …" Chang Long said while crying, "Even you didn't know. Back then, when I was out on a mission, I met a person. This person was very mysterious and kept a low profile, but his strength was very strong, and he was also at the peak of level eight. At that time, he said that he was a recluse and did not belong to any sect. We talked a few times and hit it off very well. He sensed that I was about to break through, so he recommended me a place for seclusion and took me to see it. I went to take a look, and there was indeed a very rich energy there, and it was very suitable for me to break through. He didn't let me tell anyone about this. After all, he was the one who found this place, so I naturally couldn't tell anyone. Moreover, I wanted to break through quickly and surpass you, so I went there myself … "
"Then …" Chang Long said while crying, "I really broke through …"
Everyone's body shook as they looked at Chang Long's broken tears. It was as if the breakthrough was the beginning of a nightmare.
"The moment I broke through, before I could stabilize my realm and absorb the energy, a level nine Heavenly Master appeared." Chang Long cried bitterly, and his voice was filled with despair as he said, "He severely injured me and took me away. Then, he locked me up and took my blood until today!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present gasped in shock.
Creak!!
Almost everyone present clenched their fists tightly. They were very smart, so they immediately understood that the whole thing was a conspiracy!
It was very obvious that the person who had approached Chang Long in the beginning was a member of the Hidden Heaven Sect! The Hidden Heaven Sect kept a very low profile, and even the four sect leaders rarely showed themselves. As for the Great Core Elder, He Yuyu, the outside world barely knew the names of the other elders, let alone their faces! If they left the Hidden Heaven Sect and went outside to deceive people, they would definitely not be recognized. They purposely approached Chang Long and lured him into breaking through outside so that they could capture him immediately. Other than Lu An, everyone present was a level nine Heavenly Master. They all knew how empty it was for a level eight Heavenly Master to break through to a level nine Heavenly Master! The gap between a level eight Heavenly Master and a level nine Heavenly Master was huge, and the emptiness was huge. Just absorbing the energy to fill one's body would take at least seven days. There was no way one could compete with an ordinary level nine Heavenly Master!
"They've been doing this all along!" Chang Long cried, "They'll ask around about the level eight Heavenly Masters in each sect and find those who might break through. They'll send out elders to purposely approach them and lure them into seclusion outside. Once they break through, they'll immediately capture and imprison them. Even though we've told the sect about this mysterious person, no one knows this person's identity. There's no way to find him! "
"…"
When everyone heard that, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets!
"What if they can't break through?" Wang Yangcheng asked in a low voice.
"If they fail a few times and think that there's no hope of breaking through, they'll capture them and draw their blood for the Hidden Heaven Sect's elders to use." Chang Long said, "The blood of a level nine Heavenly Master is more precious, so it won't be used by the elders."
"…"
Creak!!
The sound of people clenching their fists never stopped. Huang Ding immediately looked at the other two people and said, "You're also from the sect?"
One of them nodded, while the other's eyes were empty. This made everyone's body tremble. This person had clearly gone through treatment, but why was he still not awake?
"Which sect are you from?" Huang Ding immediately asked the person who nodded.
"Hundred … Weapon Sect." This person's aura was very weak as he answered.
"…"
Everyone was shocked and immediately turned to look at the Hundred Weapon Sect's Sect Master, Du Ji. Du Ji was also completely dumbfounded. He quickly asked, "What's your name?!"
"Ke Guoqiao."
