Chapter 716 Osmanthus Tree
"Then... then why did you say something would happen to us?" A disciple asked with a trembling voice, his eyes full of fear.
"Because I saw the dangers in the future." Elder Tianji spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful, "I saw several powerful forces approaching, and their target is us. Moreover, I also saw... look The smell of death is coming."
His words were like a bombshell, exploding in everyone's hearts instantly. They looked at each other, fear and uneasiness flashing in their eyes.
"No...impossible!" A disciple shook his head and said, "Lodan said he would keep us safe, how could he let anything happen to us?"
When Rodan was mentioned, a glimmer of hope flashed in everyone's eyes. They know that Luo Dan is the leader in the sect, he is powerful and has always been the best. If he promises to keep them safe, then they will be safe.
However, Elder Tianji sneered again, and his words were like a slap on their faces.
"Don't expect Luo Dan to save you." Elder Tianji said coldly, "You also know Luo Dan's temperament. He always tells the truth. But, have you ever thought about it? He can save you, and he can also save you. Destroy you! If something unpredictable happens in the future, do you think he will still protect you like he does now?"
Elder Tianji's words were like ice picks in the cold wind, piercing everyone's hearts. They immediately became angry, and their trust in Rodan began to waver.
"No! We have to go find Luo Dan and ask clearly!" a disciple roared. He turned around to leave, but was stopped by Elder Tianji.
"Stop!" Elder Tianji said in a deep voice, "What's the use of going to Luo Dan now? What answer can he give you? What you should do is believe in your own strength and be prepared to deal with all difficulties in the future!"
His words were like an alarm bell, waking everyone up instantly. They all stopped and began to think. They know that no matter what difficulties they may encounter in the future, only by relying on their own strength can they truly protect themselves.
The night was as dark as ink and the moonlight was thin. A towering pavilion stood in the night, as if it was the last fortress between heaven and earth. At the entrance to the stairs of the pavilion, several figures had just stepped onto the steps, but they were suddenly bounced back by an invisible force, as if they were suddenly pushed away by an invisible big hand. They stood firm, and wherever they looked, they saw layers of barriers all over the building. Those barriers shone with light blue light, like a huge net, holding them tightly. The ground blocks it out.
"What's going on?" a sect disciple roared, his face full of anger and unwillingness, "Luodan actually set up a barrier to keep us out!"
At this time, Pei Sheng walked out of the crowd, his expression was solemn, and there was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes. He knew that these sects were coming in a menacing manner, and with the angry looks on their faces, they were clearly prepared.
"Everyone, calm down!" Pei Sheng tried to calm everyone down. "Let's figure out the situation first and then find a solution."
However, his persuasion did not have much effect. The disciples of the sect were still furious and clamored to see Luo Dan.
"We want to see Luo Dan, you call Luo Dan out and let him come to see us!" A disciple shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the night sky, "We are all waiting for him here. If he doesn't come, Don’t blame us for being rude!”
"That's right!" Another disciple also agreed, "Didn't we agree to take us to the critical point? How could something happen on the way? It must have something to do with him!"
Pei Sheng frowned, filled with doubts. He did hear that Rodan promised to take these sects to the critical point, but how could something suddenly happen on the way? Moreover, why would Rodan suddenly set up a barrier to keep them out?
At this moment, Elder Tianji slowly walked out of the shadow of the pavilion. His steps were steady and his eyes were deep, as if he could see into people's hearts. When Pei Sheng saw him, he suddenly understood something in his heart. This old man must have used his mysterious prediction method to predict something ominous.
"Elder Tianji, what are you..." Pei Sheng asked, with a hint of awe in his tone.
Elder Tianji sighed slightly, his eyes swept across everyone, and finally stopped on Pei Sheng's face. "Pei Sheng, you don't know something. I just used the prediction method to get a glimpse of the dangers in the future. I'm afraid this trip will be unlucky."
His words were like a bombshell, exploding in everyone's hearts instantly. The expressions of the disciples of the sect changed one after another. They looked at each other with fear and uneasiness in their eyes.
"How could this happen?" A disciple asked with a trembling voice, "Aren't we fully prepared?"
Elder Tianji shook his head, his eyes full of helplessness. "Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? But since we have foreseen the danger, we cannot take it lightly. Perhaps Rodan set up the barrier to protect us."
When Pei Sheng heard this, his heart suddenly became enlightened. He understood Luo Dan's intention and also understood Elder Tianji's concerns. He took a deep breath, turned to the sect disciples and said loudly: "Everyone, listen up! Now that we have foreseen the danger, we cannot act rashly. We must believe in Luo Dan and believe that he can lead us through this crisis. !”
His words were like a stream of warmth, instantly warming everyone's hearts. They nodded one after another, the fire of hope rekindled in their eyes. They know that no matter what difficulties they may encounter in the future, as long as they unite as one, they will be able to overcome everything.
The night was still dark, and the moonlight filtered through the sparse clouds and shone on the open space in front of the pavilion, adding a touch of silvery white to the tense atmosphere. Pei Sheng's words were like sharp blades, piercing directly into Elder Tianji's weakness, making the already solemn atmosphere even more tense.
"Old man, if your prediction method is really so accurate, how could you not predict it that time in Lingshan?" Pei Sheng's voice was somewhat provocative, and his eyes were fixed on Elder Tianji, As if to penetrate the other party's soul, "This proves that your method is useless! How can we place our hopes on an unreliable prediction?"
His words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in an instant. The surrounding sect disciples all recalled that experience in Lingshan. At that time, Elder Tianji did not predict the upcoming crisis, which caused them to almost fall into danger. This memory was like a shadow, once again shrouding their hearts.
"Could it...did it fail at that moment?" A disciple muttered to himself, his eyes full of doubts and uneasiness.
Everyone's eyes fell on Elder Tianji, looking forward to his answer. Elder Tianji's face was livid, and his beard was trembling with anger, as if he would jump out and bite anyone at any time.
"You kid are talking nonsense here!" Elder Tianji shouted angrily, his voice full of unwillingness and anger, "Why are my predictions just predictions? What are the things that are concealed by the law of heaven, how can we ordinary people Can you see it easily? But this time, I am absolutely sure! If you don’t believe it, then forget it!”
There was a hint of helplessness and sadness in his words, as if he was telling an incomprehensible truth. However, Pei Sheng was not moved by this. He shook his head, his eyes still full of doubt.
"I don't believe it." Pei Sheng's voice was firm and cold. "If the predictions are really so reliable, why are we still in such trouble? Why are there still disciples in danger in Lingshan? Elder Tianji, I'm afraid your prediction method It’s already outdated.”
When Elder Tianji heard this, he was so angry that he was shaking all over. His eyes widened, as if he wanted to swallow Pei Sheng into his belly. However, at this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded, breaking the tense atmosphere.
"Pei Sheng, you've made enough trouble!" Luo Dan slowly walked out of the pavilion, his expression calm and majestic, "Elder Tianji's prediction is the secret method passed down by our sect for thousands of years. It may have shortcomings. , but it’s not as useless as you said. I have my own arrangements for this trip, so you just need to follow my orders and don’t say anything.”
Rodan's appearance seemed to inject a calming agent into the tense atmosphere. The disciples of the sect lowered their heads one after another, not daring to speak any more. Pei Sheng also tempered his sharpness, but his eyes still shone with unyielding light. He knew that the debate over the number of predictions was far from over. However, at this moment, they must unite and face the upcoming challenges together.
Elder Qiang, oh no, Elder Tianji, was trembling with anger at this moment. His eyes that were usually as deep as a pool seemed to be able to spit out fire, staring straight at Pei Sheng. His voice trembled slightly because of anger, but still maintained an unquestionable majesty: "Pei Sheng, my prediction technique is the sect's secret treasure. It has been tempered for thousands of times, how can it be false? Otherwise, several sects have been How can you turn danger into disaster and avoid disasters time and time again under my guidance? You are just a shameless kid and you dare to openly slander me. How ridiculous!"
His words were like thunder, exploding in the night sky and causing pain in the eardrums of those around him. When several disciples from the sect heard this, they nodded one after another, with a flash of surprise in their eyes. They recalled the past, and Elder Tianji had indeed helped them avoid numerous crises with his magical prediction skills many times, making the sect safe and sound.
"The elder is right, how could his prediction be false?"
"That's right, Pei Sheng, you have gone too far this time. How can you question the elder like this?"
The disciples were talking one after another. Apparently, Elder Tianji's words had successfully convinced them. When Pei Sheng saw this, he felt anxious. He couldn't let these people be deceived by Elder Tianji's few words.
He gritted his teeth, with a firm light shining in his eyes, and immediately retorted: "I tell you, if you really believe him, then you might as well go to the spirit world by yourself! Luo Dan kindly wants to take you there , You have worked hard along the way, and now that something happened, you not only do not appreciate him, but you also blame him? What kind of words does this sound like! You need to touch your conscience and ask yourself, is this the right thing to do? "
Pei Sheng's words were like sharp blades, piercing directly into everyone's weakness. When they heard this, they all looked ashamed and lowered their heads. Yes, Rodan has always taken good care of them, and this trip is for their own good. How could they negate all Rodan's efforts just because of an accident?
Seeing this, Elder Tianji raised a barely perceptible smile. He knew that although Pei Sheng's words were sharp, they did enlighten these people. He spoke slowly, with a hint of relief in his voice: "Pei Sheng is right. Luo Dan has been working for us all the time. We can't deny him because of an accident. However, my prediction skills are not just for show. It does have its value. I will calculate this matter again carefully to ensure that we can safely go to the spirit world."
The words of Elder Tianji were like a warm current, warming everyone's heart. They nodded one after another, and the fire of hope rekindled in their eyes. They knew that as long as they were united, no matter what difficulties they would encounter in the future, they would be able to overcome them together.
"If you have the ability, go by yourself!" Pei Sheng's words were a little angry, but also revealed a hint of helplessness. He looked at the disciples of the sects in front of him like a torch, and saw that they all lowered their heads and dared not say a word. They knew in their hearts that relying on their own strength, even if they could barely reach the spirit world, they would probably find it difficult to cope with the unknown challenges and dangers. The spirit world is a mysterious and ancient area. It is said that it retains the form of the ancient times, full of unknowns and opportunities, but also hides endless crises.
After a period of silence, one of the disciples of the sect mustered up the courage, looked up at Pei Sheng, and said tactfully: "Pei Sheng, don't be angry, aren't we worried? Luo Dan is our leader. If something happens to him, we will all be affected. Let us go in and see Luo Dan, and sit down and discuss it carefully to see what the next countermeasures are, which is much better than guessing here."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately echoed by other disciples of the sect. They nodded one after another, their eyes full of expectation and anxiety. "That's right, Pei Sheng, what is the purpose of us all going to the spirit world together? Isn't it to explore that unknown area and find the secrets of the ancient times? That place is the closest to the ancient times. If we don't work together, how can we overcome the difficulties together?"
Pei Sheng listened to their words, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided. He knew that although these sect disciples sometimes seemed dull, they all had good hearts and were working hard for a common goal. He sighed and said slowly: "Okay, since you all want to see Luo Dan, I will take you in. (End of this chapter)
