Chapter 334 Undercurrent

Game world, Qingyun Sect, main peak

"Junior Brother Lu, did the leader call you here?"

On the main peak of Qingyun, King Meow Meow looked at Lu Chen, who had not come out of the cave for a long time, and was very surprised.

Next to King Meow Meow, Di Ting came to Lu Chen's side as soon as he appeared.

And put on a flattering look.

The domineering attitude he had in the past with King Meow Meow in the fish and meat village of Qingyun Sect was completely gone.

Lu Chen looked at King Ming Miao and asked, "Senior Brother Ming Miao, does he know why the leader called me to wait here?"

King Meow Meow shook his head, indicating that he knew nothing about it.

You must know that since the Yi Hanqing incident occurred some time ago.

King Meow Meow has been silent for a long time and rarely moves out.

Not to mention inquiring about news within the sect.

Compared with Lu Chen's 'retreat' for several years at a time, it was no less generous.

Seeing that I couldn't find the answer from King Meow Meow.

Lu Chen subconsciously began to think.

After all, he had told the leader before that he should concentrate on retreat, consolidate his cultivation, and did not like to be disturbed by outsiders.

And being able to call him here under such circumstances must be no small matter.

Considering that those who can be favored by Qingyun Sect at the moment must be related to Gang Ni.

The expression on Lu Chen's face became more serious.

Because he felt that maybe starting from today.

The peace that belongs exclusively to the Qingyun Sect... will soon end.

"You are here?"

Lu Chen, Ming Miao King, and Di Ting all turned their heads and found the master of Wanfu Peak, Sikong Ming.

"Come with me. I'll discuss the details with you when we get to Wanfu Peak."

After that, Sikong Ming

King Meow Meow and Lu Chen nodded and followed immediately.

Not long after, several people arrived at a main hall in Wanfu Peak.

It is different from the splendor of Qingyun Peak, the wildness of Carrying Ding Peak, and the rigor of Danyang Peak.

The overall architectural style of Wanfu Peak seems very mysterious, and many buildings are covered with talismans and special fairy patterns.

It gives people an unfathomable feeling at first glance.

At this time, the location where Lu Chen and others were located was the core area of ​​Wanfu Peak... the Star Observation Tower.

This is also the first time that Lu Chen has gone so deep into the core area of ​​Wanfu Peak.

Although he had some concerns about the Star Observation Tower at Wanfu Peak before.

But it’s one thing to hear it, and another thing to see it with your own eyes.

"Why, is it different from the Wanfu Peak you imagined?"

Si Kongming looked at Lu Chen, who had been silent since arriving at Guanyin Tower, and seemed to have seen what he was thinking, so he said it with a smile.

Lu Chen nodded and said, "It's a bit unexpected. The disciple never thought about the Fulu lineage, but he actually wants to learn the art of stargazing."

Sikong Ming explained: "The so-called talisman is to borrow power from heaven and earth."

"After all, this earliest talisman was the unexpected result of ancient cultivators observing the mountains, rivers, and dragon veins and drawing them into the talisman."

"When the time comes, heaven and earth are all working together, but when they are far away, heroes are not free. We, the inferior talisman cultivators, look at cats and tigers, and the superior talisman cultivators, although the heart of the talisman is moving, the heaven and earth are the same force."

"How about it, are you interested in practicing the art of talisman as well?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled and said, "This disciple is stupid and doesn't have much energy to distract himself."

Si Kongming smiled, obviously not taking Lu Chen's words seriously.

If Lu Chen was all stupid in his qualifications, then there would be few people in this huge Qingyun Sect who were not stupid in their qualifications.

Moreover, although Lu Chen rarely used the talisman technique.

But Sikong Ming knew very well that Lu Chen's talisman cultivation was definitely not weak.

It is even much stronger than most of Wanfu Peak's true legends.

It's a pity that such a good talisman cultivator, why did he just practice swordsmanship?

Although he thought so in his heart, Si Kongming did not say these words out loud.

Instead, they took Lu Chen and others to a 'star track map'.

The so-called star track map is actually a huge special dome.

They stood here as if they were really standing in a starry sky.

Sikong Ming raised his head, and his eyes covered by black cloth seemed to have no effect on him.

"Look over there."

Following the direction that Sikong Ming pointed, Lu Chen and King Meow Meow soon saw a star that was twinkling.

The strange thing is that the other stars around this star become increasingly dimmer under its background, and there is even a vague feeling that they are about to disappear completely.

"Do you know what this star represents?"

Lu Chen and King Meow Meow shook their heads, indicating that they were not talisman cultivators at the Star Observation Tower.

How can I understand the meaning of this star sign?

Sikong Ming was not surprised and explained: "This is the East Sea Star of the East China Sea Gate, and the surrounding stars are the stars represented by other sects."

"By the way, what they are doing now comes from the fact that one of their important disciples was secretly murdered and skinned and bones removed."

"How about, can you see anything?"

Lu Chen pondered for a moment, and then carefully looked at the horoscopes about Donghaimen.

Although Lu Chen had never studied the art of astrology.

But as the saying goes, one method can solve all problems.

In the final analysis, the stars are just a manifestation of the great road.

Although Lu Chen is only at the Golden Core stage, he has an understanding of Tao.

Not to mention the Golden Core stage, even the Nascent Soul stage monks may not be able to compare.

After thinking for a while, Lu Chen said, "It's not good."

"Well, that's not good."

King Meow Meow and Di Ting looked at the two people who were playing the riddle.

The faces of the cat and the dog were full of question marks.

They could understand every word the two said, but they could not understand them together.

After all, in their opinion, the star image of the East Sea Gate was brighter than other stars and flashed faster.

There was nothing special about it.

Bad?

How did Lu Chen and Sikong Ming see that it was bad?

And neither Lu Chen nor Sikong Ming explained it.

After all, it would be quite troublesome to explain it.

To describe it in more vivid words.

Even though Lu Chen could not understand the star image, he could see the traces of the Great Dao in the star image.

The Great Dao is invisible, but the star image is visible.

Through the star image, Lu Chen seemed to see a ferocious dragon, which was showing a strong offensive posture against the star image next to it with its fangs and claws.

But just like the beasts in nature, when they encounter beings of the same level, they will try their best to show their ferocity.

The old dragon of the East Sea Gate is the same principle.

It looked stern, but seemed to be afraid of something.

It was obviously in trouble.

Specifically, Donghaimen seemed to be in the limelight at the moment.

In order to avenge the disciples in the sect, it showed its domineering style.

But hidden behind this domineering style, there was a huge crisis.

And this crisis not only came from the black hand that secretly murdered Donghaimen.

It also included other sects, and even Donghaimen itself.

After all, Zhongzhou has been stable for too long.

So long that many people even forgot the cruel struggle of cultivators in ancient times for cultivation resources.

And Donghaimen, in Lu Chen's view, may become a crucial fuse.

First, this matter is very important to Donghaimen.

The true disciples in the sect were killed, and they were skinned and dismembered in such a cruel way.

If Donghaimen does not do something.

Let alone other sects, even Donghaimen’s own disciples will have different ideas about this.

It is very likely that the foundation of the entire Donghai Gate will be shaken.

Second, the size of the Donghai Gate determines its every move.

Even if it is an unintentional move, it may affect the entire Zhongzhou.

After all, the ten major sects have never been self-proclaimed.

But they fought for it themselves.

Although the current situation seems to be that the Donghai Gate has made such a big scene in order to investigate the murderer.

But once someone secretly instigates.

For example, deliberately framing other sects.

At this time, whether the Donghai Gate is for revenge or taking advantage of this opportunity to quietly attack other sects.

It is possible that a war will occur.

And once the Donghai Gate enters, other sects may also join in.

It is impossible to estimate what the situation will be like at that time.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen suddenly understood why this incident alarmed Qingyun Sect.

Indeed, everything now seems to be just a private matter of the Donghai Gate.

It is difficult for outsiders to intervene.

But if the situation continues to develop as it is now.

Qingyun Sect might also be involved.

And it was passively involved.

No one could predict what kind of crisis Qingyun Sect would face at that time.

And in order to prevent this situation.

Qingyun Sect either chose to enter in advance or find a way to calm Donghaimen down quickly.

And the way to calm Donghaimen down...

"It seems that you have guessed the purpose of the headmaster looking for you?"

Lu Chen nodded, indicating that he almost knew the whole story.

But there was one thing he hadn't thought about yet...

"Can we really solve this matter by relying on us alone?"

The "we" here by Lu Chen is not just him, Wu Miao Wang, and Di Ting.

It also includes Sikong Ming.

That's right, the severity of this matter has reached the point where Qingyun Sect must send a peak master-level cultivator to solve it.

But in Lu Chen's opinion, let alone a peak master, even if there are a few more, it is probably not enough.

Unless Qingyun Sect is willing to send most of the cultivators.

Otherwise, Donghai Sect, one of the top ten sects, may not give this face.

Unless...

"Of course it's not just us. This time, other sects will go to Donghai Sect with us to investigate this matter."

"That makes sense."

Qingyun Sect takes the lead and joins other sects.

With such a standard, there is indeed a chance that the now somewhat crazy Donghai Sect monks will gradually regain their sanity.

But in this way, another problem arises.

"Master Si Feng, if too many sects join, it may not be a good thing."

Si Kongming said calmly: "I and the head brother have also asked about what you said."

"But the current situation does not allow us to think too much."

"If we want to prevent Donghai Sect from involving too many people in the shortest time, we must show enough attitude and strength."

"Even if this may allow some people with ulterior motives to mix in."

"From another perspective, even if such people with ulterior motives appear, it may not be a bad thing."

"After all, a mouse that sees the light is not so easy to hide."

At this point, Lu Chen also completely understood the attitude of Si Kongming and the entire Qingyun Sect towards this matter.

They are not afraid of people with ulterior motives, but they are afraid that the people with ulterior motives will not show their heads.

It's hard to say that they specifically sought out other sects to join forces in this investigation, and that they had the idea of ​​luring the snake out of its hole if they couldn't protect everything.

But Lu Chen felt that the leader and other peak leaders might be a little too optimistic.

After all, Lu Chen was more than 50% sure that the Donghaimen incident this time was most likely the work of Gang Nie.

As for Gang Ni's strength, no one knows it better than Lu Chen.

It's just speculation, but it can't convince the leader and other peak masters.

Even though the leader and the others have initially grasped the matter of Gang Ni.

But not before seeing with your own eyes the harm caused by evil.

The Qingyun Sect's major cultivators still don't pay much attention to it.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen felt that this action might not be too easy.

Lu Chen even felt that the current situation was the result of Donghaimen's deliberate actions.

If this is the case, then the complexity of this matter will far exceed Lu Chen's thoughts.

The difficulty of solving this matter will also increase exponentially.

But crises are also opportunities.

After all, if we can take advantage of this opportunity, we can put Gang Ni completely on the table.

It will inevitably make the entire Zhongzhou start to pay attention to it.

Lu Chen even made a decision in his heart.

That is, the final result of the investigation was that it had nothing to do with Gang Ni.

Lu Chen would also deliberately create some evidence to throw dirty water on them.

At this point, Lu Chen already had a very clear plan on how to deal with this matter.

It doesn't matter what the truth is or who the murderer is.

Because what Lu Chen wanted was to put all the blame for this matter on Gang Ni.

Although his methods were a bit disgraceful, Lu Chen never considered himself a decent person.

As long as the purpose can be achieved.

Even if it is disgraceful, it will have no impact.

"Master Si, I wonder when we will set off?"

"There's no rush. We have just notified the other sects and we still need to wait for their reactions."

"We will be ready to go as soon as we receive news from them."

"And in order not to overly stimulate Donghaimen, we can't send too many people this time."

"This is also the reason why the master finally chose you and asked me to represent the sect."

"Before that, you can make more preparations. After all, I have a hunch that things may not be resolved so easily this time."

"Remember what I said, although we are going to help investigate the truth about Donghaimen, if something happens that endangers ourselves in the process."

"Then don't worry about it. Protecting yourself is the first priority."

"Living is the most important thing."

Hearing these words, Lu Chen and King Meow Meow nodded.

After all, they never thought about risking themselves for Donghaimen.

Objectively speaking, if it weren't for Donghaimen, it would be possible for Qingyun Sect to be involved as well.

Otherwise, what does the life and death of Donghaimen have to do with them?
