Chapter 825 Undercurrent
late at night.
Cui family, in a loft covered by forbidden power.
After hearing what his daughter Cui Jingyan saw and heard tonight, Cui Changan looked uncertain.
The third elder is actually a traitor! ?
It has to be said that Cui Changan was completely surprised by this news.
Cui Jingyan glanced at her father worriedly and said consolingly: "Father, don't be angry. Mr. Su said that for now, just pretend that you don't know anything, so as not to scare the snake and catch them all by following the clues."
After a pause, she continued: "What's more, the Dark Thunder Mirror has been obtained by Master Su. Even when the Lantern Festival comes, it will not affect the power of the Clan Protector Forbidden Formation."
Cui Changan was startled, and couldn't help but glance at his daughter, and then said happily: "You girl, you have actually learned to comfort your father. You have really grown up."
Cui Jingyan said with some embarrassment: "These are Master Su's orders. I...I just relayed them to my father."
Cui Changan smiled and said: "You should go back and rest first. I already know these things."
Cui Jingyan nodded, stood up and left.
When Cui Changan was the only one left, his expression gradually became gloomy, his eyes flashed, and there was an uncontrollable murderous intention between his brows.
"Those bastards, do you really think that your father will not come back alive?"
When disaster strikes, we all fly away.
But the Cui family is far from exhausted. There is still about a month before the Lantern Festival, but someone in the Cui family can't hold it any longer!
Cui Changan is not afraid of foreign enemies, but he is most afraid of internal strife.
He knows very well that sometimes the destruction of a top force often starts from within himself.
There are countless similar examples throughout the ages.
The most famous one is the dramatic change that happened in the "Taixuan Cave" five hundred years ago, which shocked the heavens.
The sword master Xuanjun died mysteriously, and his disciples went their own ways. Enemies from all sides came together to kill Taixuan Cave, and the sky was stained with blood!
In the end, although Queen Qingtang, the young apprentice of Master Xuanjun, put down the chaos, after this battle, Taixuan Cave Heaven was torn into pieces, falling from its dominant position in the wilderness to a low point.
In this battle, the core of the forces under the command of Xuanjun Sword Master broke out in internal strife. Those descendants fought on their own and serious internal strife broke out.
If not, even if Master Xuanjun is not around, it will be difficult for those foreign enemies to break into Taixuan Cave.
This battle also had a great impact on the pattern of the world.
In the past years, all the heavens in the Great Wilderness and Nine Provinces respected Xuanjun Sword Master, and Taixuan Cave Heaven was even regarded as the first lineage in the heavens, unshakable.
But now, this past glory has long been blown away by wind and rain!
Learn from past mistakes and learn from mistakes in the future.
Now, rumors have begun to spread in the world that Cui Longxiang, an old antique from the Cui family, suffered in the depths of the sea of suffering and can never come back.
Ancient clans such as the Qu family, the Hong family, and the Tantai family are beginning to get ready to make trouble, and they are very likely to cause trouble when the Lantern Festival comes.
Now, there are even traitors within the Cui clan. How can Cui Changan, the leader of the Cui clan, not be wary?
He doesn't want his clan, which has existed since ancient times, to be destroyed in his own hands!
"The third elder's act of 'rebellion', no matter what the reason, is absolutely unforgivable!"
Thinking of this, Cui Changan's expression suddenly changed.
Just before Cui Jingyan returned, the three elders came to visit and talked about the three ancient clans of Qu, Hong, and Tantai who came to visit during the day.
At that time, Cui Changan did not hide anything and told the intentions of these three ancient clans one by one.
When it was mentioned that the purpose of the Qu clan from the ancient clan was to enter the ruins of the Judgment Division, the third elder immediately thought that there was something fishy about the matter.
Then, the third elder volunteered to go to the ruins of the Judgment Department to see if anything happened, just in case.
However, since the secret key to enter the ruins of the Judgment Division has been given to Su Yi, Cui Changan politely rejected the third elder's proposal and only told the third elder that he had sent people to the ruins of the Judgment Division to investigate the situation!
Then, the third elder said goodbye and left.
But now, having learned that the third elder was a traitor, Cui Changan suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the reason why the third elder came to visit him tonight!
During the day, Mrs. Qu just proposed to go to the ruins of the Judgment Division. Tonight, the traitor took the opportunity to come and check out the ruins of the Judgment Division. How could this be a coincidence? "
"Could it be that the Third Elder and the Qu family have already united together and intend to use this method to enter the ruins of the Judgment Department?"
Cui Changan's face was as gloomy as water.
He couldn't sit still any longer.
Because the third elder already knows, he has sent people to the ruins of the Judgment Department to investigate the situation.
Under such circumstances, the third elder is very likely to take action and seize this opportunity to enter the ruins of the Judgment Department!
But soon, Cui Changan calmed down.
"With Uncle Su here, you don't have to worry too much. The third elder probably wouldn't have thought of what a terrifying being is going to the ruins of the Judgment Department tonight with the secret key..."
There was a hint of coldness on Cui Changan's lips.
"Old Tao."
Cui Changan suddenly spoke out.
"What is your command, Lord?"
Silently, an old servant appeared out of thin air and bowed to him.
"Go and find out where the third elder's descendants and relatives are now. Remember, don't alert anyone."
Cui Changan ordered, "I'm going to visit the ruins of the Judgment Department now. You'd better get this done when I come back."
"yes!"
The old servant took the order and left.
…
Under night.
Near the ruins of the Adjudication Department in the eastern part of Ziluo City.
Near a ruin-like building, there were overgrown weeds, and there was a faint trace of sinister black air lingering in the void.
"Fellow Daoist Qu, tonight is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It won't be long before a servant sent by Cui Changan will come to the ruins of the Adjudication Department."
In the night, a middle-aged man with gray beard and fair hair spoke with a smile.
This person is Cui Weizhong, the third elder of the Cui family!
Next to Cui Weizhong, there were four people standing.
The leader, dressed in yellow robe, with childish face and white hair, was clearly the old man in yellow robe from the Qu clan who had been a guest of Cui clan during the day.
Beside him stood two men and one woman. Although their auras were extremely restrained, they still gave people an unfathomable feeling.
The old man in yellow robe said with a smile: "If everything happens tonight, Brother Cui will be indispensable!"
Cui Weizhong's eyes flashed and he also smiled and said: "I don't want any merit, as long as fellow Taoist don't forget what you promised me, that's enough."
The old man in yellow robe nodded and said: "Don't worry, I, Qu Mingwei, will never break my promise!"
Cui Weizhong glanced at the two men and one woman, and suddenly said: "Brother Qu, you haven't introduced the identities of these three Taoist friends yet."
Qu Mingwei, an old man in yellow robe, said with meaningful eyes: "It's best that you don't know the identities of these three fellow Taoists."
Cui Weizhong felt a chill in his heart and nodded.
From beginning to end, the two men and one woman stood there, turning a blind eye to the conversation between Qu Mingwei and Cui Weizhong.
Their eyes were fixed on an ancient palace standing in the night in the distance.
This palace is a thousand feet high and extremely majestic. It looks like a mountain rising from the ground. It is shrouded in the ink-like night and looks extremely mysterious.
That is the ruins of the Adjudication Department!
In the ancient times, the Judgment Department was the most famous prison in the Netherworld, and all the characters imprisoned there were terrifying beings who were considered most dangerous at that time.
At the same time, the Adjudication Department is also the place where the underworld punishes evil people. Here, countless people who have committed heinous crimes have been sentenced.
Among them, there are many emperors!
It is no exaggeration to say that in the ancient times, the Adjudication Department was undoubtedly the most feared place by evil people in the world.
But as endless years passed, the area where the Adjudication Department was located inevitably turned into a deserted land.
"somebody is coming."
Suddenly, Qu Mingwei said, "Everyone, don't act on your own initiative. Let's take a look and see who is coming."
Everyone looked into the distance.
In the vast darkness, a tall and tall figure walked towards him, dressed in a green robe, with his hands behind his back, walking in this desolate ruins, as calmly as if he were strolling in a leisurely courtyard.
"How could it be that boy named Su?"
Qu Mingwei recognized it at a glance and was surprised.
During the day today, in the Beiwang Pavilion of the Cui family, Su Yi once suppressed Tantai Liu with a flip of his palm, and even used his spiritual realm cultivation to withstand the blow of the emperor Tantai Chi.
This left a deep impression on Qu Mingwei.
Third Elder Cui Weizhong couldn't help but be startled, "Fellow Taoist, do you recognize this little guy?"
Qu Mingwei said in surprise: "This son's name is Su Yi. He and Xue Huaning appeared in the Beiwang Pavilion of your Cui family today. It is said that he was the marriage partner chosen by Xue Huaning for his daughter. How could you not know this? ?”
Cui Weizhong frowned and said: "That girl Jingyan just returned to the clan today. I heard that she brought a man back with her. Maybe... it's the little guy named Su Yi mentioned by fellow Taoists."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but wonder, "Strange, why would the patriarch send an outsider to the Judgment Department site?"
Qu Mingwei's eyes flickered, "Perhaps the old fox Cui Changan has noticed something and doesn't want to attract the attention of other people in your clan. Of course, if you want to know the answer, you can capture this kid later and ask him."
Cui Weizhong's eyelids twitched fiercely, and he shook his head and said: "Absolutely not. If so, our actions tonight will definitely be noticed by the clan leader! In that case, all our previous efforts will be wasted!"
After a pause, he continued: "Furthermore, the secret key to enter the Judgment Department requires a unique secret method. Even I don't know the secret method. If this child is hurt, we can't do anything even if we get the secret key." Get into it.”
Qu Mingwei suddenly frowned.
At this moment, among the two men and one woman, a tall and thin man in gray robe suddenly spoke:
"After this kid opens the seal to enter the Judgment Department, we can take the opportunity to sneak in."
After a pause, he continued: "If by any chance this kid notices it, I will take action to erase this memory from his mind. In this way, it will be enough to conceal the truth, and Cui Changan will not even want to know. What happened tonight.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's spirits were lifted.
And in the far distance, Su Yi's tall figure was approaching the magnificent palace.
