Chapter 696: Zhao Yuanpu's Invitation! 【Subscribe】
The agreed time of half an hour has already passed, and Zhao Yuanpu's severed arm has been reconnected with supernatural powers, and the best ointment has been applied. It only needs to rest for ten and a half months to recover.
But his pale face and erratic eyes let people know that his condition is not very good.
At that time, although he realized that something was wrong, he turned sideways and dodged in time, but he still couldn't completely avoid the terrifying giant blade that followed like a shadow, and finally his right arm was chopped off by the shoulder.
As a monk in the late Yuanying period, he was severely injured by a first-level Yuanying monk in a head-to-head confrontation. This was undoubtedly a great blow to Zhao Yuanpu.
He knew that at that time, he absolutely did not have any mentality of underestimating the enemy, and he had already made sufficient preparations for his own defense, but he was still severely injured by Zhou Yang.
Until now, when he recalled the giant dragon head blade that could tear even space, he was still terrified and shocked.
Almost, at that time, he was only almost split into two pieces by the dragon head giant blade!
Before the fight, neither Zhao Yuanpu himself nor the three Nascent Soul stage monks Qingyang, Wei Qi, and Deng, or even Zhou Yang could have expected the final result to be like this!
Zhao Yuanpu and the others completely underestimated Zhou Yang's true strength, and Zhou Yang underestimated the power of the move [Canglong Splitting the Sky].
After all, this is the first time he has used this trick today since he learned it.
Although he had known for a long time that this move was extremely powerful and had the power to severely injure the monks of the late Nascent Soul, but he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, and he was always uncertain.
However, this move is fierce, but it is also a move that kills three thousand enemies and damages oneself by eight hundred.
This can be seen from the fact that he can only heal his wounds in a closed room in Hellfire City under the protection of Daoist Qingyang.
You must know that with his character, if the injury was not really serious, he would never heal his injury on the "enemy" territory he injured just now.
"Senior Brother Zhao, how do you feel? That kid is still healing in Hellfire City, do you want us to..."
In the quiet room, Wei Qi, the Second Elder of the Shenhuo Palace, looked at the First Elder Zhao Yuanpu whose eyes were wandering, and after enduring it, he finally couldn't help but speak out.
While speaking fierce words, he made a gesture of beheading his head with his hand, and his intention was very obvious.
It's just that after his words fell, Zhao Yuanpu hadn't responded yet, but Zhenren Deng beside him had already changed his face and said, "Senior Brother Wei, no!"
I saw Zhenren Deng said emotionally and loudly: "Then Zhou Yang is the guest Qing elder of Xuanyang Xianzong after all, and Qingyang Zhenren, the elder of Xuanyang Xianzong, accompanied him here. He is not hesitant to directly declare war on Xuanyang Xianzong and even the entire [Xuanqing Daoist League], this is not a good thing for our Shenhuo Palace!"
"Hmph, Junior Brother Deng, why are you so excited? Haven't you always been fearless? Why do you get scared when you hear the name of Xuanyang Immortal Sect?"
Wei Qi let out a cold snort, glanced at Zhenren Deng with an unhappy expression, and said coldly: "Don't forget, Xuanyang Xianzong is no longer the Liuyun Continent where there were nine Yuanying monks and nine Yuanying monks in the past. They are the number one sect in the world of cultivating immortals. Now counting Daoist Qingyang, they only have two Nascent Soul cultivators more than our Shenhuo Palace. If they really started fighting with us because of that Zhou Yang, could it be that our Shenhuo Palace is Are you afraid of them?"
"And Junior Brother Deng, don't forget that although the Xuanyang Immortal Sect is powerful, there are also many enemies. If they dare to go to Nanman to fight our Shenhuo Palace, will their enemies just watch?"
Deng Zhenren is also a hot tempered person. After hearing Wei Qi's sarcasm, he immediately shouted angrily, "Senior Brother Wei, what do you mean by this? How can war with Xuanyang Xianzong affect our Shenhuo Palace?" What's the benefit? Don't you hear that a dead camel is bigger than a horse, Xuanyang Xianzong is no longer better than before, and it is not comparable to our Shenhuo Palace. Someone Deng wants to ask Senior Brother Wei, what gave you the courage? The guts to start a war with Xuanyang Xianzong?"
"Enough! Shut up, old man!"
Zhao Yuanpu suddenly shouted angrily, and the angry shout stopped the quarrel between the two juniors.
His sharp eyes swept across the faces of the two of them, and finally fell on Wei Qi with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "Junior Brother Wei, what I said just now, I think you are out of your mind because of the heartache of Nephew Dai's death." And the angry words, I don’t want to hear this kind of words in the future!”
"Hey, Senior Brother Zhao, since you said that, then you should just pretend that Junior Brother was talking nonsense just now."
Anger flashed in Wei Qi's eyes, but he didn't dare to argue with Zhao Yuanpu. He just sneered and stopped talking.
Knowing his temperament, Zhao Yuanpu was not surprised, just shook his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Although our Shenhuo Palace does not advertise itself as a decent family, it is not a repeat villain who keeps its promises. The old man's subordinates supported him for half an hour, what the old man said will definitely count, from now on, none of you will trouble his son Zhou Guangcheng in private, otherwise don't blame the old man for disregarding the friendship of the same family!"
Although he said this in front of Wei Qi and Deng Zhenren, everyone knew who he was speaking to.
Therefore, when Wei Qi heard his words, his face trembled and his throat moved. He wanted to say something, but in the end he held back and didn't make a sound.
However, Zhenren Deng was annoyed by his previous words, but this time he purposely responded loudly: "Deng respectfully obeys the orders of the Great Elder."
"you……"
Wei Qi glared at Deng Zhenren, his teeth itching with hatred.
But in the face of Zhao Yuanpu's stern gaze, he could only say bitterly: "Wei also promises not to do anything to that little beast in private!"
"Very well, I hope you all remember what you said."
Zhao Yuanpu nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said: "Okay, the old man is injured, so the two juniors will not be left behind, and the two juniors can go to their own affairs."
"Then senior brother, you can rest easy and recover from your injuries. Wei has returned to the mountain gate first."
Wei Qi said, Dang even left the room.
Zhenren Deng was not in a hurry to leave, but looked at Zhao Yuanpu and asked with concern: "Is your injury okay, Great Elder?"
Zhao Yuanpu didn't answer, but closed his eyes tightly, as if sensing something.
After a while, he relaxed his brows, opened his eyes and let out a sigh of relief: "Okay, he's really gone!"
"Elder, this is..."
Deng Zhenren looked at him puzzled, his eyes full of doubts.
Seeing this, Zhao Yuanpu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Junior Brother Wei's personality is too gloomy, and he is mean and vicious. It's okay to be an ordinary elder of the sect, but he is definitely not suitable for a person in power like a great elder. If he is in charge of the Shenhuo Palace in the future, it is likely that the old man's thousand years of hard work will be ruined, and the old man must not let this happen, do you understand, Junior Brother Deng?"
"Although it's a bit wicked to speak ill of people behind their backs, but this time I agree with you, Senior Elder. Senior Brother Wei does have a serious character problem!"
Zhenren Deng nodded in agreement, and then couldn't help but said: "He thought he was hiding it well, but how could he hide from you and me the affair between him and Dai Hongle's Taoist couple? I'm afraid it's Dai Hongle himself I also know about this, so I often go out for travel and rarely go back to the cave at the mountain gate!"
When Zhao Yuanpu heard his words, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he couldn't help sighing heavily: "Hey! Forget it, let's not talk about him. As long as he doesn't go too far in this kind of thing, let's just turn a blind eye and close it." Just look at him, after all, he is also an important combat power of the sect!"
Upon hearing this, Zhenren Deng couldn't help nodding his head slightly and said, "I also understand this, Junior Brother, so I never mentioned this matter in front of him."
"The old man knows that Junior Brother Deng is a sensible person, so I specially asked you to stay here this time to discuss an important matter with you."
As Zhao Yuanpu said, he suddenly waved his hand and laid a sound-proof barrier in the room.
Then, under Zhenren Deng's surprised eyes, he said in a solemn tone: "Junior Brother Deng, do you still remember the life experience of the third generation patriarch of our Shenhuo Palace [Renren Huolin] Chu Zhennan?"
"Of course I remember that the ancestor of Zhennan was the first late Nascent Soul monk of our Shenhuo Palace. A big faction, if it wasn't for his old man's sudden disappearance back then, with his peerless talent, it would not be impossible to become an immortal!"
After being taken aback for a moment, Zhenren Deng spoke of the past glory of his ancestor with a full face of admiration.
While talking, he suddenly focused his eyes, as if he understood something, looked at Zhao Yuanpu with a little excitement and asked loudly: "But why did you suddenly mention this, Senior Brother Zhao? Could it be that the important thing you want to say is Is it related to the accidental disappearance of Zhennan Patriarch?"
"That's right, it's related to the disappearance and fall of the Zhennan ancestor. To be precise, the old man has found the place where the Zhennan ancestor disappeared and fell!"
Zhao Yuanpu nodded slightly, and immediately uttered the big news that made Zhenren Deng almost jump up.
"Where is it? Brother Zhao, is what you said true?"
Zhenren Deng suddenly stood up, looking at Zhao Yuanpu with surprise on his face.
Then he seemed to realize that he seemed to be a little too excited. He quickly recited the Qingxin mantra silently in his heart to calm down the excitement in his heart. The place where the ancestor fell, and the remains and relics of the old man were not welcomed back to the sect, could there be something hidden in it?"
"It seems that Junior Brother Deng has also thought of it. That's right, it's not that I don't want to welcome the remains and relics of Patriarch Zhennan back to the sect, it's that I can't do this at all!"
Zhao Yuanpu gave a wry smile, and without waiting for Deng Zhenren to continue to ask questions, he took the initiative to tell the whole story.
"Junior Brother Haojiao Deng knows that when I began to sort out the travel notes of the patriarchs of the sect after more than two hundred years ago, when my cultivation base was difficult to improve, I accidentally discovered a little bit from a letter left by the patriarch Zhennan. There may be clues related to the disappearance of his old man, and then the old man spent more than 20 years searching for traces, and finally found the place where his old man really fell!"
"It's just that the old man never expected that not only the place where Patriarch Zhennan fell was extremely dangerous, but there was also a strange beast guarding it with strength comparable to that of a monk in the late Yuanying period. Due to the geographical advantage, this old man is no match for it at all, after a few trials without success, I knew that it was impossible for this old man to bring back the relics of the Patriarch Zhennan with his own efforts!"
"How could this happen!" Deng Zhenren couldn't help exclaiming.
But at the next moment, he seemed to think of something, and he couldn't help shaking his head again and again: "No, Brother Zhao, there is a big loophole in what you said. According to the records of the sect, when the ancestor of Zhennan disappeared, he was already an old man. Nascent Soul eighth-level cultivator, and his strength is directly catching up to Nascent Soul ninth-level monk, if it is just a strange beast whose strength is comparable to that of Nascent Soul late-stage monks, how could it make him fall!"
Zhao Yuanpu was questioned, but he was not angry, he just waved his hand with a wry smile and explained: "Junior Brother Deng, don't worry, the old man didn't say that Patriarch Zhennan fell under the hands of that strange beast, in fact, according to the old man's observation , that strange beast is nothing more than a guardian beast, the real reason for the downfall of Patriarch Zhennan is in the things it guards!"
"Guardian beast?"
Zhenren Deng's complexion changed, and he looked at Zhao Yuanpu with a face full of surprise and asked in surprise, "Does Brother Zhao know what kind of thing it is guarding?"
"It's a cave, a cave in the lava of the earth's core, surrounded by [Red Lotus Earth Fire]!"
A fiery look flashed in Zhao Yuanpu's eyes, and he said something that made Deng Zhenren dumbfounded.
He saw a surge in his throat, and after he swallowed his saliva, he said in a harsh voice: "It's not surprising that monks in the Nascent Soul stage can enter and exit the lava in the center of the earth, but it is necessary to build a cave in the lava in the center of the earth and last for several years. It has not been destroyed for thousands of years, and it can still produce a large piece of [Red Lotus Earth Fire] to protect the cave, that cave must not be left by a certain immortal in the tribulation period!"
"This old man also guessed like this. Otherwise, with the cultivation base of Zhennan Patriarch at that time, how could he have fallen into that cave? It wasn't a cave left by a true immortal during the tribulation period, so how could he attract him to go secretly?"
Zhao Yuanpu nodded, agreeing with Zhenren Deng's guess.
Hearing what he said, Zhenren Deng did not show any satisfaction after being recognized. Instead, he frowned and looked at him and asked, "Then what are you going to do, Senior Brother Zhao? You have never said anything about it before, why now?" And you specially left junior brother here to talk to me about this?"
Zhao Yuanpu replied in a leisurely manner: "I didn't tell you about this before because the old man was not sure about defeating the guardian beast, let alone welcoming back the remains and relics of the Zhennan Patriarch. Naturally, the less The better people know about it!"
"But now the old man seems to see some hope, so I want you to know about it, Junior Brother, just in case!"
Just in case, Zhao Yuanpu needless to say, Zhenren Deng also understands.
He asked softly thoughtfully: "Is that Zhou Yang? Brother Zhao wants to invite him to help?"
"That's right, it's him, and it's not just him alone. The old man is also planning to invite [Fire Dragon Master], a mid-stage Nascent Soul casual cultivator, to go with us, and the three of us can see if we can kill the guardian beast. Break the formation restriction of that cave!"
Zhao Yuanpu nodded slightly, and said his plan in a deep voice.
"Why these two? Brother Zhao, can you tell me the reason?" Zhenren Deng asked curiously.
"The reason is very simple. That cave is located deep in the lava of the earth's core. Not everyone, like me, a Nascent Soul cultivator who practices fire-attributed exercises, can stay there for a long time, let alone a Nascent Soul with a Nascent Soul." The alien beasts are fighting in the later stage!"
"Furthermore, the [Red Lotus Ground Fire] outside the cave is not easy to deal with. It is likely to be integrated with the formation of the cave. When the formation is broken, I am afraid that we will have to face the threat of this kind of strange fire all the time. Cultivators don't have that much mana to deal with these."
"But whether it's the [True Fire of Qianyang] mastered by Zhou Yang, or the ancient rare treasure [Fire Dragon Cover] in the hands of [Fire Dragon Master], they can give full play to their strength in that environment, so that they won't be held back."
"Of course, the most important thing is that both of them are not as good as the old man, but they are stronger than ordinary monks. They can help the old man break the cave's restriction without posing too much threat to the old man!"
Zhao Yuanpu's eyes flickered, and he said the reason slowly in a low voice.
Deng Zhenren did not doubt his confidence in saying this.
Although Zhao Yuanpu had his arm cut off in a frontal fight with Zhou Yang, but Zhenren Deng knew that it was just that Zhao Yuanpu never thought that Zhou Yang still possessed that kind of weird supernatural power.
Now that Zhao Yuanpu knew this, the chances of Zhou Yang wanting to use the same trick to injure him again were very slim.
And seeing how Zhou Yang needed retreat to heal his injuries after performing that move, it was obvious that he would not dare to use this move unless it was a last resort.
As for the other [Fire Dragon Master], although he is not considered weak, as far as Deng Zhenren knows, his name probably comes from the sixth-level middle-grade magic weapon [Fire Dragon Shield] in his hand, but that magic weapon pays more attention to Defense naturally did not pose much threat to Zhao Yuanpu.
"Brother Zhao has a very good idea, but will Zhou Yang agree to your invitation? You have just been accepted by him... Can he rest assured to go on an adventure with you?"
Zhenren Deng looked at Zhao Yuanpu, hesitated for a while, and couldn't help asking this question.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuanpu replied confidently: "Don't worry about this, the old man will naturally have a way to persuade him!"
