Chapter 937: Meet
At this moment, the branch hall was still a scene of busyness and bustle.
The monks of Xuantian Hall were like ants in the dark, and they had not yet noticed the fatal crisis, which had already quietly descended like a dark cloud.
Chen Ze walked quickly along the long and winding corridor, heading towards the main hall without any obstruction.
Halfway through, there was a burst of neat footsteps in front of him.
Chen Ze looked up and saw a group of deacons in black robes coming towards him.
These deacons all had stern expressions, hurried but steady steps, and carefully held various files in their hands.
They whispered to each other, as if discussing some crucial confidential matters.
Seeing Chen Ze, everyone was slightly stunned, and then they quickly stopped and saluted as if it was a conditioned reflex, and shouted in unison: "Hello, Elder Liu."
Chen Ze looked normal, and nodded slightly as a response.
However, his eyes swept through the files in their hands without leaving any trace, trying to capture some useful information from them.
But the people in Xuantian Palace seemed to be quite cautious in doing things. The words on the files were all sealed with spiritual power, making it difficult for others to peek. If they tried to peek forcibly, they would definitely be discovered.
Chen Ze thought to himself that these files must involve some core secrets, otherwise they would not be so cautious.
However, he remained calm, with a faint majesty on his face, and asked casually: "Where are you going?"
The leading black-robed deacon stepped forward, bowed respectfully and replied: "Reply to Elder Liu, the hall master is discussing the action with the elders in the main hall at this moment.
The situation is urgent, and we are specially ordered to quickly sort out the intelligence files about the Wanwu Grocery Store that have been collected recently, so as to adjust the strategic layout in time."
While speaking, he subconsciously tightened the files in his hand again, as if it was his lifeblood, with a bit of competence and caution in his eyes, and a little bit of subtle tension.
Chen Ze's heart moved, and a gleam of light flashed in the depths of his eyes, but his face remained calm, and he just nodded slightly: "Such a big event cannot be delayed, you should go and come back quickly, don't delay the important event of the hall master."
"Yes, Elder Liu." Everyone responded in unison again, and then quickened their pace and left in a hurry.
Chen Ze looked at their backs, his eyes deep, thinking secretly.
"It seems that it is right. Xuantian Hall has made such a big move and mobilized so many troops. The target is the Wanwu Grocery Store."
"Haha, today you will get nothing."
After thinking for a moment, Chen Ze kept walking, and his feet seemed to be in the wind, and continued to stride towards the main hall.
Low-level monks passed by from time to time along the way. When these monks saw Chen Ze, they saluted in fear and trepidation, and dared not breathe.
Chen Zejie nodded slightly, his expression was stern, his aura was full, and his gestures showed the demeanor of a high-level cultivator, without any abnormality.
Soon, the majestic outline of the main hall came into view.
However, the main hall door was closed at this time, and it was carved with majestic and ferocious animal heads, emitting waves of powerful spiritual power fluctuations, obviously with a strong ban.
On both sides of the main hall door stood two guards in the late stage of transformation. They were as tall as pine trees, and their spiritual power fluctuations were hidden. Obviously, they were quite powerful.
Just standing there gave people a strong sense of oppression.
The main hall seemed to be shrouded in a thick haze at this moment, and the atmosphere was so heavy that it made people breathless.
On the first seat, sat a middle-aged man in a golden robe.
His face was stern, as if he was chiseled by a knife and an axe, revealing a daunting majesty. This man was the master of this branch hall, Yu Wei.
Although he was restrained, just sitting there filled the whole hall with an invisible pressure, as if telling of his unfathomable and terrifying cultivation.
On both sides below, several elders sat on both sides, each with a solemn look and a serious look.
These elders were all experienced and highly cultivated people, but at this moment, facing the important matters to be discussed, they also held their breath and dared not slack off.
"The Grocery Store is growing stronger and stronger, and it has already threatened the status of our Xuantian Palace.
If we don't take this opportunity to wipe it out, it will become a big problem in the future.
This action is a plan set by the Lord himself, which is related to the rise and fall of our Xuantian Palace. Only success is allowed, not failure!"
Yu Wei's voice was low and majestic, echoing in the hall, echoing in the hall layer by layer, making everyone's ears buzz.
An elder frowned slightly and said worriedly: "Palace Master, the store has a deep foundation. I heard that there seems to be a mysterious strong man behind it.
Will it be too risky for us to act rashly this time?
Although my Xuantian Palace is powerful, once it is involved in a protracted war, the consumption is also amazing.
If other forces covet it and take advantage of it, the consequences will be disastrous."
Yu Wei snorted coldly, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, as if the mysterious strong man was just a chicken and a dog in his eyes: "Hmph, mysterious strong man?
My Xuantian Palace has been passed down for thousands of years, how can its foundation be inferior to others!
This operation was prepared for a long time by the Lord, and the intelligence network has been spread out.
Every move of the store is under the control of the Lord.
They seem to be prosperous, but in fact they are full of flaws. As long as we find the right time, we can hit them with one strike. How can there be a protracted war?"
Another elder echoed: "The Palace Master is right. We have sent out all our elite troops, and we have many magic weapons and elixir reserves.
Taking advantage of the right time, place, and people, he will definitely take down this all-things grocery store in one fell swoop.
By then, the prestige of our Xuantian Palace in this world will surely reach a higher level. "
Yu Wei's face darkened, and he was about to say something else. Suddenly, a strange wave came from outside the hall, and he shouted angrily: "What's going on? Go out and have a look!"
...
Outside the main hall gate, Chen Ze stepped forward steadily. He stood tall and straight, and his black robe moved with the wind.
Not to mention, the black robe designed by Xuantian Temple gave Chen Ze a different kind of aura when he wore it.
When the guards saw him coming from a distance, they immediately straightened their backs, saluted respectfully, and shouted in unison: "Elder Liu, you are here!" Their voices were full of awe.
Chen Ze frowned slightly, pretending to be displeased, with a hint of coldness in his voice: "What is being discussed in the palace and why it is so heavily guarded? I have extremely urgent matters and need to meet with the palace master immediately. There is no delay!"
The guards looked confused and looked at each other, seeing helplessness and anxiety in each other's eyes.
One of them cautiously took a step forward, raised his hands and said, "Elder Liu, I'm really sorry for you.
The master of the palace has strict orders. We are currently discussing confidential matters, which are related to the rise and fall of our sect. No one is allowed to enter without permission.
I hope the elder will forgive me. Even if you have something important, according to the rules, you have to report it first.
It is our duty for the young boys to act according to orders and we dare not disobey them in the slightest. "
Chen Ze snorted coldly: "Hmph, you guys have done your duty! In that case, let's report it quickly. If we miss something big, can you afford it?"
The guards trembled with fright and hurriedly responded, turning around and walking into the main hall as fast as flying.
After a while, he hurriedly turned back, his expression becoming more and more respectful: "Elder Liu, the master of the hall has invited you."
Chen Ze snorted again, with an imperceptible edge flashing in his eyes. He straightened his clothes unhurriedly, and then strode into the main hall.
As if they had been granted amnesty, the two guards hurriedly stepped aside to get out of the way, not daring to raise their heads.
The light in the hall was slightly dim, and the atmosphere was solemn and depressing, like the eve of a storm.
Yu Weigao sat in the first place, his majestic face looking increasingly enigmatic in the shadows.
Several elders on both sides sat on either side, either with cold eyes or thoughtfully.
Seeing Chen Ze come in, everyone's eyes suddenly fell on Chen Ze like a spotlight.
Yu Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, looked at Chen Ze, and said: "Elder Liu, why are you so angry?"
Chen Ze looked calm and composed, and his posture was as tall and straight as a pine tree. He looked like he was facing the collapse of Mount Tai without changing his expression.
He raised his head slightly without being humble or arrogant, his eyes were like a torch, and he looked directly at Yu Wei without fear. Then he looked around at the crowd and said loudly: "I have a friend who is very eager to meet you."
Speaking of this, Chen Ze paused deliberately and glanced at everyone.
"Who?"
