Chapter 176: Damn it, the cannon fodder has become the group's favorite (52)
"Master sent a message saying that when we were in Yao City, all the sects were attacked by the demons, but the demons mainly targeted the Xuanhan Sect, and the sect master was injured. Master asked us to rush to Master Yuming in Guishan to get the blue jade crystal lotus to heal the sect master."
Chu Hanche frowned and said, no wonder what happened in Yao City was quite serious, but the sect didn’t send any elders here.
"Ah, how could that be? Do the demons want to start an open war?"
Lu Yuxuan was shocked. Even the sect leader was injured. Who on earth had come from the demon clan?
Shen Youan came out of the cabin and released the contents of the sound stone.
Chang Ming's voice came from inside:
"First of all, you have completed the task assigned to you by your master. Your master is very happy. However, the demon clan has been in chaos recently. The Demon Lord was plotted against by his clan members and his life is coming to an end. He can no longer maintain order. The demon clan members who have been suppressed for many years are unwilling to live in the dark and gloomy demon world."
"The Demon Clan is now led by their eldest prince. A few days ago, he led several demon elders and a large number of demons to attack the Xuanhan Clan. Other sects were also held back by the demons and were unable to provide assistance. Your master is in seclusion and unaware of the situation. While trying to protect his disciples, the sect leader was ambushed by the demons and was seriously injured. Please quickly go to Mount Gui to find Master Yuming and retrieve the Blue Crystal Jade Lotus."
When Chu Hanche came out, Wen Yunli went to the barrier. After hearing the words from his master, his expression turned cold.
You know, several years ago, the teacher of the Demon Prince was eliminated by the Sect Leader, and he himself was seriously injured. I think he has been holding a grudge. Now that he has come to power, he attacks the Xuanhan Sect first, which is understandable.
"Start a war? The demons don't have that ability."
Chu Hanche's eyes dimmed and he replied calmly, "A large number of troops attacked the Xuanhan Sect, and it happened to be when the master was in seclusion. They were not in the sect either. This was too much of a coincidence."
Then, without thinking too much, Chu Hanche changed the course of the flying boat and headed towards Guishan.
Shen Youan looked at Chu Hanche standing in front of the flying boat, frowning as if he was very worried. He walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and reassured him not to worry.
The demons have been suppressed by them for so many years. If the Demon Lord was still alive, they would be more afraid. Now they are dealing with their own leader themselves, aren't they seeking their own death?
But Shen Youan still couldn't figure out one thing: how could it be possible? The Demon Lord was so powerful, how could he be tricked?
In the end, he still didn't ask this question.
Chu Hanche tilted his head to look at him, his eyes softening, indicating that he was fine.
…………
…………
Xuanhan Sect.
"Master, how do you feel?"
Chang Ming looked at the person who was sitting cross-legged on the bed and had just received his healing power, and asked worriedly.
“No problem”
Xuan Qingzi's face was pale and he forced a smile.
Chang Ming looked at him and felt very guilty.
Xuan Qingzi could see the conflict in his heart and said comfortingly: "It's okay, no one would have thought of this, but there is one thing that I find very strange."
"What's the matter?"
"How did the Demon Tribe's eldest prince's strength increase so quickly? He is completely different from the one he was back then."
Xuan Qingzi had never expected that one day he would only be able to defeat a demon prince. Even though he had the elders to help him, as the leader of a sect, how could he be so useless?
Xuan Qingzi was confused. Could it be that his strength had declined over the years?
Chang Ming knew that the sect master had extremely high demands on himself. Moreover, their sect has always been at the top of the sects. The sect master never dared to slack off in cultivation. First, he set an example for his disciples, and second, he was strict with himself.
"Could it be that he used some forbidden technique?"
Chang Ming had also seen the eldest prince many years ago. Logically speaking, it was impossible for him to have such strength. Although he did not witness how the sect leader was injured, the fact that he was barely able to defeat him after being injured like this was enough to explain everything.
"No"
Xuan Qingzi denied his statement. He did not think that was a forbidden technique. There was no floating power at all, and it made people feel the pressure. It was definitely not something that could be brought up by using forbidden techniques.
Chang Ming nodded, said no more, and left first, letting Xuan Qingzi have a good rest.
Chang Ming left the hall and walked straight to Xuanyin Pavilion after coming out.
After Chang Ming entered the Xuanyin Pavilion, he looked up at the ceiling that was shining like stars, and his eyes darkened.
He hadn't pried into the secrets of heaven for a long time, and Xuan Qingzi didn't allow him to do so. After all, the damage to the body could not be recovered in a short time.
Chang Ming came to the platform in the center of Xuanyin Pavilion, raised his hand and waved it, and a jade plate rose from the ground. White jade chess pieces flashed on the jade plate. As Chang Ming arranged them quickly, the jade plate emitted a light green light.
Chang Ming lightly opened his fingers, blending the blood with the light it emitted, and closed his eyes.
After a long while, Chang Ming opened his eyes, a hint of nervousness flashed across his eyes, and he murmured, "How could this happen..."
In an instant, Chang Ming left Xuanyin Pavilion, gave a few instructions to the disciples he met on the way and asked them to pass them on to the sect leader, and then left Xuanhan Sect.
At this time, Chu Hanche and his companions had already entered the area of Guishan.
Mount Gui is actually an iceberg that makes people feel cold. Several people took a flying boat and passed several hills. The atmosphere on the mountain was very strange.
Shen Youan stood beside Chu Hanche, observing carefully. He couldn't help but say what he was thinking: "Why is there no living creature on the mountain? It's too strange."
Although he had never been to Guishan, he had heard of its name. There were many rare animals here, especially the rare white fox, which also lived here.
But along the way, not to mention the fox, even small flying birds were not seen.
Chu Hanche nodded. He also felt strange. It really shouldn't have happened. He had been to Guishan before, and it was completely different from the deserted appearance now.
Although Guishan is cold, it is precisely because of the cold that ordinary people rarely come here. As for the cultivators, they dare not come here and act recklessly because of the reputation of Master Yuming.
At this point, Guishan is home to many rare and exotic animals, and every time you pass by, you will feel a little lively.
Soon, several people got off the flying boat. Because it was too cold here, Guidie had already hidden in Shen Youan's jade pendant.
At this time, there were already disciples waiting outside the Jade Palace. When they saw the few people coming, they showed their ID cards and respectfully invited them in.
Master Yuming likes quietness. He originally came from the Hanxing Kingdom and did not like worldly disputes, so he came to Guishan and built this palace. There are only a dozen disciples in the Jade Palace, and Master Yuming accepted them because he felt that there was a connection between them.
But the number of people who came here to seek a master was probably tens of thousands, or even thousands. Master Yu Ming only accepted a dozen people based on their fate.
Some are gifted, some are less gifted, it all depends on fate.
"Senior brothers, please follow Yu Xing. I've heard that you're coming, and Master has specifically instructed me to wait here. But it's getting late now, and I'm afraid we'll have to wait until tomorrow to find the Blue Jade Crystal Lotus."
"Thank you, Junior Brother Yuxing. It's okay. We can go there tomorrow morning. It's not too late. I haven't seen Master for many years. I feel guilty for visiting him only now because I have something to do."
Chu Hanche said very politely that he was the favorite junior of Master Yu Ming, but he had chosen Chang Ming of Xuan Han Sect back then, so he had to give up. He just said that if he was free, he didn't mind him coming to visit.
In fact, it means that although he has become Chang Ming's disciple, it does not prevent him from teaching him some things.
But Chu Hanche believed that he had not fully learned what his master taught him, so he never came here to learn new skills.
So he seldom visited, and when he did, it was to bring a message to the master or to pick up some important things.
As they entered the hall, they immediately met eyes with Yuming who was sitting in the main seat.
Chu Hanche and the others stepped forward and bowed politely to Master Yuming, saying, "Master Yuming..."
"Well, sit down"
Yuming waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down.
After everyone sat down, Yu Ming was the first to speak: "I have heard from your master about the matter of the Xuanhan Sect's leader. The Blue Jade Crystal Lotus is on the snowy ridge behind the mountain. It is getting late now. If you want to get it, you can go tomorrow."
The blue jade crystal lotus will hide at night and only appear during the day.
“Thank you, Master.”
Chu Hanche looked at the person sitting in the seat, his eyes flashing.
"Well, I still have something to do, Yuxing, take them to the side hall to rest," Yuming nodded slightly.
"Yes"
Yu Xing responded respectfully, then made a gesture of invitation, preparing to take a few people to the side hall.
“Thank you, Master.”
Chu Hanche and the others thanked Yu Ming and left with Yu Xing.
Yu Xing led a few people along the corridor and walked towards the side hall.
Shen Youan looked curiously at the carvings on the icicles on the corridor. The lifelike foxes were so beautiful.
Yu Xing noticed Shen Youan's gaze and explained with a smile, "That's the little fox that Master raised. It's usually very arrogant and narcissistic. These carvings were made by Master to appease the little fox when he was angry."
Yu Xing said this, not afraid of exposing his master's shortcomings. After all, his master was very fond of the little fox, and even his disciples were envious of it.
"very beautiful"
Shen Youan nodded, smiled and praised.
Yu Xing smiled and nodded, then continued to lead a few people towards the side hall.
Soon they arrived at the hall.
"Senior brothers, you can choose your own accommodation, any place in this hall is fine."
"Thank you, Junior Brother Yuxing."
"You're welcome. I'll be leaving first. If you need anything, the brothers and sisters in the Jade Palace can help you."
"Thank you, take care."
After seeing Yu Xing off, several people sat down around the ice-shaped table.
"Rest early today. Tomorrow morning, we will set out to get the Blue Jade Crystal Lotus and leave immediately after we get it."
Chu Hanche spoke lightly to the few people, and glanced at the little eagle carved on the stone pillar in the hall.
"it is good"
Several people responded.
At this moment, in the main hall, Yu Ming was watching this scene through an ice mirror, but to be precise, he was not Master Yu Ming.
Yu Xi walked in at this time, holding a plate of cakes made with plum blossoms. Looking closely, his eyes were dimmed as if his soul had been sucked away.
Yu Ming raised his hand and waved, and the dark magic power instantly entered the pastry. That's right, this fake Yu Ming was the so-called Demon Lord. He was not actually ambushed, and all of this was directed and acted by him.
He disguised himself as the eldest prince and went to Xuanhan Sect to seek revenge. He seriously injured the Sect Master of Xuanhan Sect. Unfortunately, he failed to kill him directly.
As for An Yi, he is such a useless thing. As someone in the Spirit Transformation Stage, he couldn't even deal with several of his own disciples, and he even sacrificed himself. The Demon Lord's eyes darkened, and a look of displeasure flashed across his face.
"Send the cakes to the side hall and tell them that I sent them specially for you," the Demon Lord instructed Yu Xi.
A red light flashed in Yu Xi's eyes, and then she regained her composure and said, "Yes, Master."
The Demon Lord looked at the ice mirror in his hand, and felt very bored when he saw those little ghosts who were easily deceived. He put the ice mirror away, and then planned to go and see how Yuming was doing in the cage he had locked up.
There was a hint of interest in the eyes of Demon Lord Yansha, who rarely found it interesting.
In the side hall.
Chu Hanche felt that the feeling of being peeped at had finally disappeared. He looked at the others and said slowly, "Something is wrong here. That person is not Master Yuming."
"Ah?" Lu Yuxuan said in shock, then covered her mouth again, not daring to make another sound.
Wen Yunli and Shen Youan frowned and looked at Chu Hanche in confusion.
Chu Hanche was about to speak when he heard the sound of faint footsteps coming from outside the door.
A few people looked sideways and found that it was a disciple of Yugong.
"Hello, brothers. I, Yun Xi, am here on Master's orders to bring you some freshly made cakes. I hope you like them."
Yun Xi smiled and placed the pastries on the table.
Wen Yunli smiled softly at him and said, "Thank you, Junior Brother. It's so thoughtful. We like it very much."
Yun Xi saw that they all looked happy. After hearing Wen Yunli's words, he felt very happy and left.
After Yun Xi left, Chu Hanche raised his hand and set up a barrier.
After the barrier fell, a strange butterfly suddenly emerged from the jade pendant on Shen Youan's waist.
Guidie looked at the cakes on the table, confirmed them, and then said to them nervously in a soft voice:
"The cakes are filled with evil spirits. Something has been poisoned in them. Master and brothers, you cannot eat them."
Chu Hanche nodded. He had expected that there would be problems with the pastries, but what he didn't expect was that it was a demon from the demon clan.
After saying that, Guidie looked at the reactions of the others. Seeing that they believed it, she whispered a little embarrassedly, "But Xiaodie can eat it. Can you give the cake to Xiaodie?"
Guidie looked at the few people with anticipation. The magical pastries were really tempting!
"Eat it"
Shen Youan touched her head and said, if it doesn't hurt her, then just eat it, after all, such opportunities are rare.
"Yes, thank you, Master."
So Guidie took the pastries and sat on the stool next to Shen Youan, eating a piece of pastry in two bites. The taste of the pastries made her close her eyes with happiness.
So, they returned to the main topic.
"Master Yuming never calls himself the "Immortal Master" and is always humble to his disciples, so his demeanor is not right. Also, everyone saw the strange phenomena on the road when we came here. And as soon as I entered the hall, I felt like I was being spied on. Finally, there is this cake."
Chu Hanche analyzed carefully. Under normal circumstances, his perception would not be so sensitive. The main reason was that the amount of information today was too large, which made him a little alert.
Earlier in the hall, Chu Hanche looked closely at Yu Ming's calm eyes and vaguely saw disdain and disgust, which made Chu Hanche conclude that something was wrong here.
