Chapter 328 Bottom-line thinking, who will return to me?

When he heard Zheng Fa shout out the word Chen Commandery, Blood River Ancestor couldn't help but show confusion on his face. He looked at Zheng Fa and wondered:

No, how come this person knows everything?

Looking at his expression, Zheng Fa they didn't even need to listen to his answer.

Zheng Fa guessed Chen Commandery, just because of a doubt in my heart:

No matter how strong Great Freedom Demon Cult is or how long he has endured, Spirit Transformation is always valuable.

Didn't you see that Supreme Dao was struggling for a long time, and then Jiang Chengkong came?

When Jiang Chengkong sent a message saying that Chen Commandery had gathered several Spirit Transformation, Zheng Fa didn't think about it - what is there in that place that deserves so many Spirit Transformation squatting there?

"So, Great Freedom Demon Cult and those Spirit Transformation in Chen Commandery are leading Great Freedom Devil Ancestor?"

Uncle-Master Pang's voice came. It was very low and deep, very unlike his usual speaking voice.

Zheng Fa looked towards him and saw that his round face was a little pale, and his eyes were staring at Blood River Ancestor, as if seeking confirmation.

"Ha." Probably seeing his frightened expression, Blood River Ancestor laughed and did not deny it. He pointed at the <Cooperation Agreement> that Zheng Fa took out and said, "Holy Ancestor Linchen... these things of yours are meaningless."

Zheng Fa understands what this person is thinking:

Are Zheng Fa's threats effective?

Valid.

Demonic Sect is indeed not a good place, and Great Freedom Devil Ancestor is not a good temper either.

But no matter how good you Nine Mountains Sect is, what's the use if you lose it?

Seemingly seeing that he understood what he meant, Blood River Ancestor said quietly, "Do you think Holy Ancestor cares about our loyalty? He doesn't care, he just wants to make us afraid."

"..."

"Holy Ancestor has been sleeping all these years, so naturally we have less constraints..."

Zheng Fa suddenly thought of Lin Bufan.

The fact that Lin Bufan survived that day was naturally attributable to the Blood-Burning Pill his uncle gave him.

But on the other hand, the ability shown by the curse of Great Freedom Devil Ancestor is also a little weaker.

Listening to Blood River Ancestor's words now, I'm afraid it has something to do with the state of Great Freedom Devil Ancestor.

He looked at Blood River Ancestor and saw that the expression on his face was almost as frank as a rogue. "You said I thought about leaving Holy Church, I did think about it..."

"Everyone has thought about it."

"Who dares to cross?"

Uncle-Master Pang couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you dare?"

"I, monk Demonic Sect, all my great power comes from Holy Ancestor, and will eventually belong to Holy Ancestor. Holy Ancestor will take life and death from us."

"..."

Zheng Fa inexplicably thought of the two strange Talisman Diagram in Lin Bufan's blood.

Nine Mountains Sect Today's Talisman Seals was developed with the blood of Lin Bufan.

Talisman Seals is so amazing, naturally not because of how strong Lin Bufan is - he is just Qi Refinement Realm.

What is strong is the bloodline he inherited from Great Freedom Devil Ancestor, the strange Talisman Diagram in the blood.

Blood River Ancestor's great power comes from Holy Ancestor, which shows that there is indeed truth to it.

"If I promise you, how many days can I live a good life?"

Blood River Ancestor finally asked, which made it difficult for Zheng Fa and the others to answer.

After all, Great Freedom Devil Ancestor is really going to die... Then he would vote for the Nine Mountains Realm, unless he has a schizophrenia and his brain is broken.

Zheng Fa asked a few more questions.

Blood River Ancestor showed that he didn't want to cooperate. The question just now was common sense, so it didn't matter what he said.

In fact, after all the words, Zheng Fa they didn't get much useful information from him.

Zheng Fa no longer tried to persuade Blood River Ancestor, but looked to Senior Sister Zhang aside.

Senior Sister Zhang understood it, and raised the Mountain-River Seal and Mountain-River True-Form Talisman in his hand, flying out and landing on the Blood River Ancestor flying sword, becoming invisible into a golden net, trapping it in it and preventing it from moving.

"You!"

"Medicine Garden's disciples come here often. I'm afraid it will disturb Blood River True Person's Qing Cultivation. It's better to invite True Person to my place as a guest."

Senior Sister Zhang smiled.

She naturally understood Zheng Fa's eyes:

It would not be good to put Blood River Ancestor away - he is still Spirit Transformation after all. Putting him back might increase the strength of Great Freedom Demon Cult.

More importantly, I don't know if Blood River Ancestor has found out some of the Nine Mountains Realm's secrets while in the Nine Mountains Realm...

That Great Freedom Devil Ancestor, I don't know why, but I can't forget Zheng Fa.

Maybe Blood River Ancestor revealed some details when he went back, which made Great Freedom Devil Ancestor see through the reality of the Nine Mountains Realm, or even think that Zheng Fa is a talent...

This is so much fun.

But it won't work if you throw this flying sword here - Medicine Garden often has disciples, for example Qian True Person will bring his disciples to do experiments. If Blood River True Person wants to seduce Nine Mountains's disciples, that will be another trouble.

The best way is, of course, Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang to suppress it and keep it with you to prevent him from becoming a monster.

In other words, the best thing is for Senior Sister Zhang to take action.

Because although Sun-Moon Bell is stronger than Nine Mountains Realm, it also has more effects - it is still used to transform Heavenly Merit, and cannot leave Medicine Garden for a long time.

Senior Sister Zhang naturally understood these thoughts without Zheng Fa opening his mouth, and suppressed Blood River Ancestor directly.

Everyone walked back with deep thoughts. Along the way, many disciples looked at the master and the elders and saluted respectfully. But at this moment, even Zheng Fa had no intention of understanding these disciples.

The group of people arrived at Zheng Fa's yard in Myriad Immortals Island's tacit understanding.

The silence in the lobby lasted for a long time.

After a long time, Uncle-Master Pang looked at Zheng Fa: "Sect Leader, what do you think?"

He rarely calls Zheng Fa Sect Leader, but when he used this title at this moment, he naturally felt heavy in his heart and became serious unconsciously.

"First of all, we must send a letter to Venerable Chengkong and inform Five Sects of Xuanwei about Devil Ancestor's coming to the dust."

Zheng Fa This is a matter of course.

Uncle-Master Pang also nodded and said, "I'm afraid they are more afraid of this Great Freedom Devil Ancestor coming to the world than we are."

"What about us?" Senior Sister Zhang answered.

Zheng Fa stopped talking. He turned around and looked around at his senior sister, master, and two senior uncles. It took him a long time to speak:

"Nine Mountains Sect, naturally the farther you can avoid it, the better."

"But I can't."

Old Yuan frowned. "You are Nine Mountains Sect Leader, how can you count them separately?"

"But Great Freedom Devil Ancestor probably cares about me. Venerable Chengkong once said that Nine Mountains Realm cannot stop the truly strong."

"Great Freedom Devil Ancestor, it should be one of them."

Zheng Fa shook his head and smiled, not really panicking.

To be honest, he was indeed a little heavy just now, but now he is much more free and easy. When he spoke, his face actually looked brighter than Uncle-Master Pang and theirs.

"..." Old Yuan's face was ten times gloomier than his, but he had to admit that Zheng Fa was right.

What does Nine Mountains Sect mean to Great Freedom Devil Ancestor?

If Nine Mountains Sect is really coveted by Devil Ancestor, I'm afraid it's just Zheng Fa.

Others, such as himself, are very self-aware:

He's probably a character like Devil Ancestor, and it's troublesome to even look at him.

"Do you want me to leave you behind as a junior?" Uncle-Master Pang asked dully. He raised his eyes and looked at Zheng Fa: "If nothing else, where can I, Nine Mountains Sect, go now without Nine Mountains Realm?"

Zheng Fa is also speechless.

His meaning is very clear, he hopes that Nine Mountains Sect disciples will find another way out - this is not because he is too dedicated, but because most of the disciples have no role in this kind of struggle.

Zheng Fa has always been a pessimistic person and likes to prepare for the worst.

Now, the worst case scenario is that Devil Ancestor comes to kill Devil Ancestor, breaks the barrier of the Nine Mountains Realm, and Zheng Fa is killed.

If so, Zheng Fa also hopes that Nine Mountains disciples can pass on some of his ideas and concepts...

But Uncle-Master Pang is also right.

Nine Mountains Sect has lost the sect's headquarters. If we break away from the Nine Mountains Realm now, what's the difference between that and the death of the sect?

Seeing that he stopped talking, Old Yuan laughed and suddenly patted his shoulder.

"Master?"

"I have known for a long time that among the three apprentices, you are the one who can cause the most trouble."

"..."

"But my surname is Yuan, and I have never given up on my disciples."

Zheng Fa stopped talking. Uncle-Master Pang on the side curled his lips and muttered, "He still looks like a master."

After saying this, Zheng Fa also felt that it would not be appropriate to evacuate most of the people in the sect Nine Mountains Realm.

But he thinks the idea of leaving a root for the Nine Mountains Sect is still feasible.

"Master, I'm thinking, if most of the disciples can't leave, why not secretly arrange for some elite disciples to leave?"

Old Yuan, Uncle-Master Pang and others looked at each other and nodded.

It's one thing that they don't want to leave, but on the other hand, they also want to leave a legacy for the Nine Mountains Sect.

"Elite disciple? My disciple... just stay away. I'll think about the others."

Uncle-Master Pang thought about it and chose the candidate.

It can be seen that during this period of time, the impression of Zhou Ganyuan in his mind is getting better and better. It is probably because Uncle-Master Pang has really won over True Disciple.

Now the first thing that comes to mind is him.

"My subordinate... isn't it you?"

Old Yuan looked at Zheng Fa, a little speechless.

However, Aunt-Master Huang's expression was even more speechless - she looked at Senior Sister Zhang, then at Zheng Fa, opened her mouth, then closed it, looking like she didn't want to speak.

Zheng Fa turned to look at Senior Sister Zhang beside him.

He didn't speak either.

The main reason is that I dare not say...Senior Sister Zhang's look in his eyes makes you want to try.

He thought for a while and then said, "It's probably feasible to pick some disciples with lower cultivation levels and ask Xiao Fairy to protect them."

"Low cultivation... but good grades?"

Senior Sister Zhang nodded.

"Yes, the essence of my Nine Mountains Realm inheritance lies in this knowledge system, and cultivation level is not that important - these disciples are not conspicuous, but they can inherit my Nine Mountains philosophy."

Old Yuan They were all deep in thought, seeming to be thinking about who was more suitable.

Zheng Fa is also thinking in his mind, Zhou Ganyuan is one, he has the Talisman Dao of Uncle-Master Pang and himself and even Senior Sister Zhang concept, Qian True Person can also be considered one. This person's cultivation is not high, but he is considered the first person in agriculture in the Nine Mountains Sect. The rest of them need to be considered again.

But there is one person, Zheng Fa, who must be added to the list - my sister.

Zheng Fa wants to let some disciples leave, but in fact it is more selfish...

After some discussion, Zheng Fa took out Communication Talisman and wrote down the story that Great Freedom demon Devil Ancestor was going to come to the world.

Communication Talisman flashed out, then flew out of the Nine Mountains Realm, crossed the mountains and water, and flew towards Venerable Chengkong.

Venerable Chengkong was currently sitting on a group of blue clouds, looking in the direction of Chen Commandery with doubts and uneasiness in his eyes.

Next to him stood Master Tongming, whose expression was also helpless:

He has been standing here for half a month with Venerable Chengkong.

"Sir... what's the secret of this Chen Commandery?"

"How would I know?"

Venerable Chengkong whispered softly, not looking at Venerable Tongming, but looking straight ahead.

The sky ahead was dyed red with blood. Under the red clouds, the vegetation was dry and there was no trace of birds and animals.

"Did you hear that?"

Venerable Chengkong asked suddenly.

"Listen?" Venerable Tongming tilted his head, listened carefully, and finally shook his head. "I can't hear anything."

"I can't hear anything either." Unexpectedly, Venerable Chengkong's face turned even uglier, "Both of us are Spirit Transformation cultivation level... we can't hear anything, isn't it weird?"

Venerable Tongming opened his mouth and looked at Chen Commandery, with a hint of disbelief on his face. "True Person, you mean... everyone is dead?"

"I just know it's not a good thing." Venerable Chengkong said softly, "At least three Spirit Transformation gathered in this little Chen Commandery... Tell me, why didn't they come to fight Hundred Immortals Alliance?"

"..."

I, Hundred Immortals Alliance, deserve this?

But Venerable Tongming immediately figured out what Venerable Chengkong meant:

With these Spirit Transformation, Great Freedom Demon Cult could have destroyed Hundred Immortals Alliance long ago, and even the arrival of Venerable Chengkong couldn't stop them.

But unfortunately, they didn't take action...

This only shows that they have more important things to do.

The more important this matter is to Great Freedom Demon Cult, the more dangerous it is to Supreme Dao.

"Then... let me go into Chen Commandery to check it out?"

"What if it's a trap?"

Venerable Chengkong rolled his eyes at him, as if he thought he was stupid.

"..."

Venerable Tongming is helpless. In the final analysis, there is still too little information about Chen Commandery, and they don't know what to do.

But... I don't dare to leave here, and I don't dare to go in.

When do you have to stand?

Just as the two were hesitating, Communication Talisman of Zheng Fa flew over and fell into the hands of Venerable Chengkong.

Venerable Chengkong put Divine Sense into Communication Talisman, and his expression changed very quickly - first he was happy, then he was surprised, and finally he was scared.

"Master?"

Venerable Tongming Seeing him like this, he couldn't help but ask.

"Biography of Zheng Fa wrote, saying that he found out what Great Freedom Demon Cult in Chen Commandery is doing..."

"Him?" Venerable Tongming's eyes widened, as if he couldn't understand. "He is thousands of miles away, how can we know?"

Venerable Chengkong didn't speak either.

He was also very puzzled - this kind of thing should be Great Freedom Demon Cult's secret, how could Zheng Fa figure it out so easily?

Think about it again, I have been standing here for half a month...

Suddenly, he felt a little aggrieved.

"Great Freedom Demon Cult, what are you doing at Chen Commandery?"

Venerable Tongming asked again.

"Accept Great Freedom Devil Ancestor..."

"!!!"

Venerable Tongming couldn't sit still anymore. He looked at Chen Commandery with a trembling tone. "Great Freedom...Devil Ancestor?"

Venerable Chengkong had no time to pay attention to him, as the seven-colored glow surged from his body, forcing Venerable Tongming not to look directly at him.

When he opened his eyes again, the Venerable Chengkong in front of him had changed his appearance - his eyes were golden, he was wearing a golden Daoist robe, and there was a piece of golden Auspicious Cloud on his head. He didn't look like a human being, but a statue of Divine Spirits who had come to the world.

"Master?"

Venerable Chengkong glanced at him and said, "You stay here."

After saying that, he held Pure Tranquility Bamboo in his hand, turned into a golden light, and flew into the bloody sky.

Three days later, Venerable Tongming saw the golden light turn back, and Venerable Chengkong landed in front of him. His face was golden with a hint of purple, and he seemed to be seriously injured.

"Let's go!"

Before he could speak, Venerable Chengkong shouted loudly. Venerable Tongming understood and ran away with Venerable Chengkong.

A moment later, several looming demonic figures ran towards them from Chen Commandery. Seemingly seeing them running too fast, these figures all let out an unwilling roar - this roar reached Venerable Tongming's ears, causing him to shake his mind and keep falling.

When Venerable Chengkong shook the Pure Tranquility Bamboo in his hand, he Divine Sense was clear, but he was inevitably afraid.

The two of them returned to Bright Mountain, feeling a little relieved.

Venerable Tongming looked at Venerable Chengkong and saw that the black and red color on his face became more and more intense, as if he was injured.

"Envoy?"

he asked a little worriedly.

"It's okay." Venerable Chengkong a little Pure Tranquility Bamboo, the bamboo leaves slowly shook, shaking out a burst of Clearwind, caressing his cheek.

Venerable Tongming watched helplessly, Venerable Chengkong seemed to be completely healed - this took less than a few breaths!

He was envious in his heart, his eyes fell on Pure Tranquility Bamboo, and then he discovered the clue:

On Pure Tranquility Bamboo, a quarter of the branches and leaves showed signs of withering.

"This..."

"Chen Commandery There are five Spirit Transformations of Great Freedom Demon Cult..." Venerable Chengkong said, "They... are practicing Five-Directional Blood-Baleful Flags."

"Five-Directional Blood-Baleful Flags?"

"This is one of Great Freedom Demon Cult's supreme methods - using Five-Directional Blood-Baleful Flags to form an array can condense a Devil Ancestor true body and lead Devil Ancestor to the lower realm."

It can be heard that Venerable Chengkong knows Great Freedom Demon Cult very well.

"This... is what Zheng Fa said true?"

"Thankfully I have him, otherwise I wouldn't have had time to stop him..."

"Your Majesty, you prevented Devil Ancestor from coming to the world?"

Venerable Tongming said happily.

"No, I just broke two Five-Directional Blood-Baleful Flags. Refining this formation flag is not easy, and it will take a while..." Venerable Chengkong said frankly.

"Your Majesty... has also done great service for me, Immortal Sect!"

Venerable Tongming said it sincerely. After all, it would be terrible if Great Freedom Devil Ancestor was allowed to happen unconsciously.

"At least half of this credit belongs to Zheng Fa..." Venerable Chengkong seemed to have no intention of taking the credit, "As soon as he said that Great Freedom Devil Ancestor was coming, I knew..."

"There is mental arithmetic No-Mind, and there is this Pure Tranquility Bamboo."

"It's nothing..."

Venerable Tongming also nodded. Although it was just a piece of news, the problem was that the news was too crucial.

"Sir... those five Spirit Transformation?"

"We can't win, let alone Pure Tranquility Bamboo is going to be useless, even if he is good, I don't have confidence." Venerable Chengkong said bluntly, "I know one of those five people..."

"Who?"

"Netherworld Immortal--Qin Mu."

Venerable Tongming's face was split open. He looked at Venerable Chengkong and opened and closed his mouth, but said nothing.

"It's him who rebelled against me, Supreme Dao, and became the holy son of the Demonic Sect... Master Uncle Qin."

"..."

"I have already sent a letter to the sect. Other sects in Five Sects of Xuanwei will not sit back and watch..."

Venerable Tongming felt relieved...

Indeed, what is Five Sects of Xuanwei if you can't shake people?

Nine Mountains Realm, according to custom, Qian True Person should have gone to Medicine Garden early, but today he was so preoccupied that he didn't walk out of his yard until noon.

When Nine Mountains Sect disciples saw him, they all saluted with smiles.

Some call him teacher, some call him True Person...

The one who calls him "teacher" is naturally the disciple who studies agriculture with him.

The person who calls True Person also knows that he has made a lot of contributions to the Nine Mountains Sect.

All with closeness and respect.

His qualifications are not very good, and his cultivation level is not high, let alone in Nascent Soul like Nine Mountains Sect... well, Spirit Transformation sect, even in the original Thousand Grain Sect, he has never received such respect.

On weekdays, he would also return the gifts seriously one by one, enjoying this kind of respect very much.

But today he was a little perfunctory, or in other words, a little afraid to face it.

Just when he was passing by Hall of Worthies, he slowly stopped and took a look inside Hall of Worthies.

His eyes fell on the statues of him and several disciples.

He looked at it for a long time before slowly raising his feet and walking towards Medicine Garden.

Several of his disciples had been waiting at Medicine Garden for a long time, and they were very surprised to see him arriving so late.

"Master, is he feeling ill?"

A female disciple saw that his expression was not so good and couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing's wrong."

Qian True Person looked at the various crops in the Medicine Garden test field--

There are rice, wheat and other grains that can be used as staple food or fed to livestock.

There are fruits and vegetables that can be eaten as vegetables.

There are also some that can be used as seasonings.

These are all new crops they have researched, but many are not suitable for large-scale promotion. A few such as Thunder Pepper were actually selected from hundreds or thousands of finished products.

This experimental field can be said to be soaked with his hard work and sweat.

Several disciples watched him stare at the experimental field for a long time, and they were also surprised and confused:

Master is so weird today.

"Do you want to leave?"

"Leave, leave where? Leave Master?"

A disciple asked.

"Leave Nine Mountains Realm."

"I don't want to."

Qian True Person glared at this disciple, as if knowing that he was teasing her, he shook his head and said, "Nine Mountains Realm There may be a catastrophe..."

Seeing his serious expression, all the disciples looked at each other with solemn expressions on their faces.

"Are we... going to run away again?"

The female disciple said weakly.

"It doesn't matter, this is Zheng Sect Leader's permission." Qian True Person explained.

Hearing the name Zheng Fa, everyone felt even heavier, knowing that this matter was indeed true...

"Where are you, Master?"

A disciple asked.

Qian True Person didn't speak and seemed to be struggling.

"Brothers, please leave, I won't leave." The female disciple suddenly said.

"Huh?"

"Nine Mountains Sect and I are brothers..."

"... Who?" asked another male disciple. Seeing her shaking her head, the male disciple stopped asking and just said, "I'm not leaving either."

Even Qian True Person is a little confused.

"Hundred Immortals Assembly before, I asked... it's too chaotic outside." The male disciple said, "Many people I know don't know whether they are alive or dead. Nine Mountains Realm is facing a catastrophe, and there are even more outside. As a Qi Refinement Realm disciple with no background, can I survive outside?"

After speaking, he looked at the experimental field. "At least I know that Zheng Sect Leader will not let me die in vain."

"..."

Qian True Person glanced at these disciples and saw that they all seemed to be convinced by this disciple, and their expressions became firm.

"Where are you, Master?"

Qian True Person glanced at them and suddenly smiled, "The disciples I taught, the fields I planted, and the things that allow me to stand straight are all here. Where can I go?"

Senior Sister Zhang stood in the distance, watching this scene, suddenly turned his head, and whispered towards a flying sword beside him:

"Actually, to make people not want to betray... you don't have to rely on fear, right?"

Feijian trembled, as if he couldn't speak.
