Chapter 127 1 Thunders
Because of Sang Yunqi, the square became eerily quiet. For a moment, no one dared to breathe and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Chen Xiu lowered his head and approached Xu Zhuo, whispering, "Master, let me take a few brothers and sisters out for a walk."
Xu Zhuo looked at the young juniors who had been standing there and nodded. It was indeed a bit embarrassing for them to stand there for a whole day.
Although Chen Xiu's voice was soft, in front of these people it was no different from speaking into their ears.
They all nodded to the disciples behind them, indicating that they could leave with him. Chen Xiu then took them away with a smile on his face.
To his surprise, Shangguan Chen also stood up and walked behind the crowd, apparently intending to leave together.
Chen Xiu didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded at him.
After the younger generation left, Xu Zhuo coughed lightly, "Now that we old guys are the only ones here, it's convenient for us to talk about some serious business."
After saying this, he carefully glanced at his ancestor, and only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that he had no expression on his face.
"I have discussed with you all before about the matter of the black-robed men. I wonder if anyone has discovered their whereabouts recently?"
The others obviously didn't expect Xu Zhuo to suddenly bring up this matter. They looked at each other, and Fairy Yueyao of Yuehua Palace spoke first.
"After learning the news, my Yuehua Palace has been paying attention, but we haven't found any strange people so far."
The old monk from Hanshan Temple fiddled with his Buddhist beads and said, "Some minor incidents occurred near Hanshan Temple, but nothing unusual was found."
Since they all spoke, others naturally followed suit.
Xu Zhuo's eyes seemed normal, but he was always paying attention to Gong Bowen and Shangguan Cheng.
Gong Bowen seemed to have noticed his gaze and said, "The southwest has always been remote and sparsely populated. I think these guys probably don't want to go to that kind of place."
"But before I left, I specifically told them to be more careful. If there is anything unusual, my daughter Gong Qian should send a message directly back."
There was nothing wrong with what he said, except that the wording of the last sentence was somewhat intriguing.
It was no secret that the head of the Gong family sent his daughter to Cangqiong Mountain. On the contrary, the Gong family had publicized it widely at the time, and their words and deeds were full of the meaning of being close to Cangqiong Mountain.
The head of one of the small sects asked curiously, "Master Gong's daughter has returned to the southwest? No wonder she was not seen in this competition."
Xu Zhuo glanced at the person who answered the question and continued with a smile, "My eldest disciple mentioned to me that because Gong Qian made rapid progress, he sent her out on a mission. Did she actually return to the southwest?"
Gong Bowen nodded: "Qian'er has entered the Golden Core Stage a month ago. I have already told her in advance that she will be back in a few days. Then I can report to Master Xu in more detail."
The meaning of his words was very clear. He had entered the Jindan stage and was coming back in a few days. It was obvious that he wanted to enter the Shangguan family's secret realm.
Xu Zhuo cursed in his heart, what are you dreaming about, my Cangqiong Mountain is just short of a Jindan stage?
Moreover, it hasn't been long since she attacked Chu Xinglan. To say she was sent out to carry out a mission, doesn't that mean exile?
But I didn't expect that she would run back to the southwest. I have to let Chen Xiu give her a good beating when she gets back.
At that moment, in front of so many people, Xu Zhuo was embarrassed to say it out loud, and he had no legitimate reason to let her stay outside, so he had to suffer this loss.
Sang Yunqi, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly said, "Since she has entered the Golden Core Stage, let's go to Anmo City. I have something for her to do."
Gong Bowen's gaze instantly turned to Sang Yunqi, and when he saw that he didn't even open his eyes, he felt indescribable anger in his heart.
Of course he knew what Cangqiong Mountain meant, but he didn't arrange for Gong Qian to enter Cangqiong Mountain in order to curry favor with Cangqiong Mountain. He brought it up now just to shut Xu Zhuo up and force him to accept it. However, he didn't expect Sang Yunqi to intervene. He was indeed too annoying.
His cheeks twitched for a while, but he finally suppressed his thoughts and said in surprise: "Qian'er is lucky to be valued by the Venerable. I would like to thank the Venerable in advance."
Fairy Yueyao's eyes flickered and she raised her hand to lightly cover the corners of her mouth.
"Anmo City is equivalent to the national gate of our cultivation world. Patriarch Gong is so lucky to be able to take on such an important task at such a young age."
After saying that, he secretly raised his eyebrows at Xu Zhuo.
Xu Zhuo almost laughed out loud. Cangqiong Mountain had a good relationship with Yuehua Palace. He had many opportunities to deal with Yueyao, so he naturally knew her personality.
With Sang Yunqi present, what she said was naturally good, but what one hears and thinks in one's heart varies from person to person.
Gong Bowen gave Yueyao a cold look and said, "Fairy Yueyao, you are too kind."
Master Wuxin of Hanshan Temple was too lazy to listen to the undercurrents between them and looked at Sang Yunqi with a frown.
"Your Excellency, what happened in Anmo City?"
After he said this, everyone looked at Sang Yunqi curiously. Everyone in Anmo City knew about it, and everyone present had contributed to one degree or another, but it seemed that nothing had happened in these years.
Sang Yunqi opened his eyes and glanced at him: "Nothing serious, it's just that the demons have appeared, and the passage has not been found yet."
Master Wuxin's hand, which was moving the Buddhist beads, suddenly stopped and the beads in his hand were almost crushed by him.
It took him a long while to digest the news and he put away the Buddhist beads helplessly.
"Your Excellency is joking. This is a huge matter."
The expressions of the others were either solemn or surprised, and they stared at Sang Yunqi intently.
Sang Yunqi chuckled with an ambiguous meaning: "Master, you are worrying too much. Among all of you present, maybe someone has already had a drink with him. Isn't it a big deal?"
He said it lightly, but it was like a thunderclap in everyone's ears. After the shock, they looked at the people around them with strange eyes, and they all stood there in doubt.
Xu Zhuo glared at his ancestor speechlessly. What are you doing here? Can you just say that?
He originally wanted to test everyone, but now he has given up. He has alerted the enemy and there is no point in trying!
Master Wuxin was silent for a while, then suddenly stood up and bowed to Sang Yunqi and Xu Zhuo.
"This matter is of great importance. I need to report it to my senior brother. If Sect Leader Xu has other information, I hope you can share it with Hanshan Temple."
If the disciples of Hanshan Temple had not been still in the secret realm and he could not leave, he would have been on his way back to the temple now.
But even if he couldn't go back, he had to pass the message back so that his senior brother could make plans early.
Fairy Yueyao lost her previous smile and looked at Xu Zhuo seriously: "My Yuehua Palace also requests to share the information."
