Do not die

The gazes of the three people were like spears and swords.

They all fell on "Kou Chong", as if they were going to cut his body open and expose his Nascent Soul to verify the authenticity.

Of course they knew Kou Chong, but in their impression, Kou Chong was just a "newcomer" who had just broken through the seventh level of the core formation.

Not to mention breaking through the Nascent Soul, there is still a long way to go to reach the peak of pill formation.

To say that he has been hiding his strength, everyone in Xingxiu Palace, including them, was fooled by his past performance.

This reason seems to make sense, but the three people always feel that it is a bit far-fetched, and they can't help but think of other reasons.

The idea of ​​"Kou Chong has been taken away" has been in their minds countless times. At this moment, similar words were spoken from others, and the weight of this guess naturally increased sharply in the hearts of the three of them.

However, an emotion that was difficult to express verbally was that when they heard the name "Uncle Zheng" that was also familiar to them, the three of them felt more or less relieved.

This can be regarded as, the good news should not flow to outsiders.

No matter whether the person who calls the shots in "Kou Chong" is Kou Chong or Zheng Bo, after all, he is one of his own, which is better than a complete stranger.

For example, the bald head suddenly appeared in front of me.

It is precisely for this reason that when "Kou Chong" did not answer the question directly and kicked the ball back again, the three people's eyes also turned and fell on "Bald Meng Zhou" again.

"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand you at all? ...The most important thing is, who are you? Has our Xingxiu Palace become so unbearable now? Can such a core place be entered and exited at will?! "

Because of "Kou Chong's" answer, the three people focused their attention on "Bald Meng Zhou" again.

Although they did not speak, they recognized the words "Kou Chong" in their hearts.

Regardless of whether this new sect member is "Kou Chong" or "Uncle Zheng", he is still one of his own, and this can be dealt with later.

Now, facing the "bald Meng Zhou" who suddenly appeared here and was a complete stranger, they naturally knew where to use their power at this time.

"Bald Meng Zhou" stared at "Kou Chong" and looked carefully, then glanced at the other three people, suddenly smiled softly and said:

"Is it the answer itself that I'm curious about?"

As he spoke, he paused, shook his head and said, "Of course not. What I really want to know is your plan against Lian Ziling."

What he said once again completely exceeded the expectations of the four of them.

"Eldest Brother" and the other three people were completely stunned, not knowing what was going on, with confusion, confusion, and... surprise on their faces.

"Kou Chong", who also didn't expect to get such an answer, was startled at first, and then the aura around him fluctuated completely uncontrollably.

Although this change was very short-lived, how could it be hidden from the others present.

Even the three "elder brothers" who had decided to remain united for the time being, once again set their sights on "Kou Chong".

"What...what are you talking about? Why...are you suddenly involved with the traitor Lian Ziling?" "Kou Chong" reluctantly answered.

But the effect of his answer this time was very poor.

Even the "Second Senior Sister", who was the least sensitive in this regard, could hear the uneasiness in his heart.

"Kou Chong" seemed to realize how bad his current performance was, so after barely holding on to a sentence, he decisively chose to shut up.

His expression also became dull.

"Bald Meng Zhou" smiled and said: "Still talking tough? Then let me ask you again, how much do you know about what Yan Zhuang did, and how much did you participate in it?"

"Kou Chong"'s eyes fluctuated slightly again, and soon returned to silence. He did not respond to his words, with an uncooperative attitude of "waiting to die, but don't even think about letting me say another word." .

The other three people who also heard these words were obviously stunned again.

"Yan Zhuang? Who is Yan Zhuang?" "Elder Brother" said softly.

"Second Senior Sister" and "Fourth Junior Sister" initially had the same doubts as him, but soon they both seemed to have remembered something, and a look of surprise appeared on their faces.

But after a sudden realization, the two people's eyes towards "Bald Meng Zhou" and "Kou Chong" became more and more subtle.

"Eldest Brother" turned to look at the two girls next to him, "Do you know this Yanzhuang?"

The two girls looked at each other, and "Fourth Junior Sister" said to "Second Senior Sister": "Senior Sister, what do you say?"

"Second Senior Sister" nodded slightly and explained to "Elder Senior Brother":

"This Yanzhuang is a junior in the palace. He broke through the cultivation level and achieved pill formation after the last mountain closure. But even earlier, he was guarding the Cuiyu Lake in the Juye Wilderness.

Because there were many fellow disciples who broke through the core formation during that time, and senior brothers and many seniors in the palace had already begun long-term retreat, so although there were celebrations, the movement was not big, and there was no notification to you who were in retreat. this matter. "

"Elder Brother" nodded lightly. Before sealing the mountain, he was already at the ninth level of Dan Jie. His cultivation was also at the ninth level of Dan Jie. There were many people with higher talents, knowledge, and talents than him.

At that time, he only had one thing on his mind, which was to break through the Nascent Soul, and he had to try his best to break through the Nascent Soul before others succeeded.

Is there another newcomer who has broken through the pill formation and held a pill formation celebration?

Not to mention that no one informed him, even if he was informed, such information would not enter his mind at all, and would be cleared away by him the moment it entered his ears.

But soon, he frowned again.

"That's wrong...Why haven't I seen or even heard of this person in the past few years?"

In the years since he became the True Lord of Nascent Soul, he has been busy with various affairs. The Alchemy Formation monks in Xingxiu Palace are all his most important helpers. Not to mention that they all have a clear understanding of him, at least they know that there is such a person. As well as information such as the general expertise that the person possesses.

But when he searched his memory, he had no impression of "Yanzhuang".

——In his mind, there is another layer of truth: since Yanzhuang is the one who broke through the core formation after the Xingxiu Palace closed the mountain, this means that his safety is absolutely guaranteed, and even if he breaks through at an "older age", the foundation building and core formation The difference in life span is enough for him to survive until now.

If he really died, it was impossible for him not to know about it.

For example, decades ago, something went wrong during the alchemy retreat of a junior named "Li Xin". His life tablet shattered and his body and soul disappeared.

He was in retreat at the time and didn't know about this, but after successfully breaking through the Nascent Soul realm, this matter naturally entered his mind.

Therefore, even if he did not notice such a junior in Xingxiu Palace at that time, he should not have any impression of this person now.

Whether alive or dead, he will always know that there is such a person.

At this moment, "Fourth Junior Sister" suddenly whispered:

"Because this person is missing."

"Huh? Missing?" "Elder Brother"'s eyes widened with a look of disbelief on his face.

His eyes first glanced at "Bald Meng Zhou" and "Kou Chong", and then fell on the two women beside him.

A living person in the Danjie Realm disappeared in Xingxiu Sea?

This nature is probably more serious than death!

If this is the case, I should know more about it!

"Fourth Junior Sister" whispered:

"To say he is 'missing' is my current definition.

Previously, there was actually no clear explanation as to what happened to Yanzhuang.

Senior brother, you know that before leaving the mountain, everyone’s thoughts were on cultivation. After the lockdown was lifted, there were even more things to do. Who would pay special attention to other people’s affairs?

If someone hadn't specifically mentioned him now, I wouldn't have thought of this person for a moment, let alone not seeing him for decades!

That's why I said he was 'missing'. "

"Eldest Brother" looked solemn and nodded slightly.

Asked softly: "Can you confirm when he started missing?"

"Fourth Junior Sister" shook her head slightly and said:

“To say he is missing is my current judgment, and I am not sure yet.

I had no special impression of this person before, let alone paid any particular attention to him... If you ask me exactly when he disappeared, I really don't know. "

"Second Senior Sister" suddenly said "Yeah", and both of them turned their heads to look.

But she saw her expression change, as if she remembered something that surprised her.

"Sister, what do you remember?" "Fourth Junior Sister" asked.

"Elder Brother" also paid attention.

On this occasion, a bald man with an unknown origin broke into the core of the Xingxiu Palace, and it was like entering a deserted place. There was also a "Kou Chong" who was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and it seemed that it was not suitable for them to have such a private chat.

But he can no longer care about these things. It is better to be "not suitable" than to be ignorant in a dream and know nothing!

That would make him, the "elder brother" of the Constellation Palace, even more stupid and incompetent.

Therefore, he didn't care at all whether it was appropriate or not for the three of them to have a private chat at this moment. He just wanted to know more.

The two people next to him seemed to be quite "sympathetic" to this, and did not interrupt, allowing them to "make up their mind".

Under the gaze of many pairs of eyes, "Second Senior Sister" said: "I don't know the exact time when Yan Zhuang disappeared, but I remember the time and place when I last saw him."

As she spoke, her eyes moved, stopping on "Bald Meng Zhou" for a moment, and then on "Kou Chong", with a complicated look on her face:

“The last time I saw Yan Zhuang was in the library hall managed by ‘Uncle Zheng’.

At that time, I only glanced at Yanzhuang from a distance.

The reason why I remember this matter relatively clearly is because at that time, Yan Zhuang was sitting casually next to a few bookshelves, with many classics scattered on the ground around him.

Judging from that look, he couldn't have just sat down. That state must have been going on for a while.

At that time, I was still a little strange! "

She didn't say why it was strange, but "Elder Brother" and "Fourth Junior Sister" both nodded lightly as if they understood.

Because of "Uncle Zheng's" style of managing the library hall, everyone who has entered the library hall is very aware of it.

If you don't follow the rules, "Uncle Zheng" will soon appear to stop you.

The behavior of Yan Zhuang that "Second Senior Sister" saw at that time was completely illegal, so according to "Uncle Zheng's" consistent style, he should have stopped him.

Although "Second Senior Sister" felt a little strange at the time, after a while, she, the person involved, basically forgot about it, let alone felt that there was any mystery in it.

But now that the matter is being reviewed again, not to mention her as the person involved, even the "eldest brother" and "fourth junior sister" can tell at a glance that there must be something fishy in it.

Whether it's "Uncle Zheng" or Yan Zhuang, almost all of them have the word "Qiqi" carved on their faces!

Their eyes fell on "Kou Chong" with complicated expressions in their eyes.

After a period of silence, "Big Brother" asked again:

"Time, approximately what time is it?"

"Second Senior Sister" said while thinking carefully:

"That was at least twenty or thirty years ago, right?

As for the exact time, I have to think about it carefully and confirm it with other things before I can determine it.

As you know, I don't pay much attention to years, months and time.

However, you don’t have to worry that I remember it wrong, because not long after I met Yanzhuang that time, another thing happened.

The time when that incident happened is very clear, and you can even find very accurate time records. "

"What's the matter?" they both asked together.

"Another new Dan-former, Li Xin died during the retreat, and his soul card was broken."

"Second Senior Sister" said softly, her eyes inexplicably deep.

"Ah?!" "Senior Brother" and "Fourth Junior Sister" both exclaimed softly.

Then, the two turned their heads and their eyes met.

"Fourth Junior Sister" said softly: "Senior Brother, I have thought of a possibility!"

"Eldest Brother" nodded slightly, "I thought of it too!"

The two looked at "Second Senior Sister" together, and she nodded slightly, and even added:

"If I remember correctly, Junior Brother Lian... Lian Ziling was on duty at the Soul Hall at that time."

"Eldest Brother" laughed and said:

"I have special knowledge about Li Xin. Not only was Lian Ziling on duty there, he was also the first to hear the movement and the first to arrive.

When several other watchmen arrived, he was already waiting there alone! "

"Fourth Junior Sister" said softly:

"So, the sound of the shattering life cards that came from the Birth Soul Palace did not actually come from Li Xin, but was probably caused by the fall of Yan Zhuang!

The life tablet belonging to Yan Zhuang in the Birth Soul Palace is actually a fake. It was forged by Lian Ziling to cover up the death of Yan Zhuang.

Li Xin did not die in a practice accident at all, but was secretly murdered by Lian Ziling, which was also part of his attempt to confuse the public.

In the end, he really succeeded.

If it weren't for today... we would still be kept in the dark! "

At this point, she shook her head and sighed.

"Second Senior Sister" was silent, a look of disappointment flashed across her face.

After a while, he said: "Is this the reason why he refused to bow to us even though he was fighting for his life?"

"Eldest Brother" said: "How is it possible?...Of course it's more than that! There must be something bigger involved!"

As he spoke, his eyes fell on "Kou Chong" and became sharper than ever before.

It seemed as if he wanted to cut open his body with his eyes and expose all the secrets inside.

But soon, his eyes turned slightly and fell on the bald man, and said solemnly:

"Who are you, Your Excellency? Why are you more familiar with the secret deeds that take place within my Constellation Palace than us, the heads of the family?!" (End of Chapter)
