Chapter 565: Dreaming and Fear

Huangliang Youhai, a desolate sea area.

A broken ship was swaying on the sea, with a long pole tied to the stern, like a fishing pole, and at the other end was a huge sea beast that looked like a stone sculpture.

The sound of crashing waves stopped, and the ripples around the boat slowly dissipated.

Zou Sijiu placed the oars horizontally on his knees, thinking that this distance should be enough. Even if Zhang Qingli really had the courage to come back with the people from the Law Seal Bureau, it would be impossible for him and Yuan Mingfei to break through the double shielding and lock the position of the cave again.

"Hey"

It was clear that they had successfully fished out Zhao Yanlong's cave before Longhushan, but Zou Sijiu was unexpectedly frowning at this moment, with a worried look on his face.

The cave heaven was fished out, but Chen Qisheng was now pure flesh and blood, and could no longer be directly connected to the Huangliang Cave Heaven.

In order to enter smoothly, they can only take a roundabout way. Let Yuan Mingfei pull Chen Qisheng into the Buddhist kingdom first, and then Zou Sijiu will chisel a passage in the closed cave, using him as a bridge in the middle to send Chen Qisheng into the cave.

But if we do this, let’s not talk about whether it will be troublesome or not. The most important thing is that Chen Qisheng, Zou Sijiu and Yuan Mingfei will be in a very dangerous situation.

In the dark sea of ​​Huangliang, authority is a weapon for killing, but also a barrier for self-protection.

Chen Qisheng no longer has any authority in his hands. After entering the cave, he is left with only the purest self-consciousness, which is tantamount to being unarmed. Moreover, he has to face the constant consumption and weakening of the dark sea, and his ability to protect himself is extremely limited.

If Zhao Yanlong had evil intentions at this time, Chen Qisheng would be faced with a desperate situation with no way out and could only sit and wait for death.

And even if Zhao Yanlong had no ill intentions, no one could tell what the situation was like inside the cave right now.

Judging from the appearance of this "dream sea beast", the overall structure is still intact. However, Zhao Yanlong's authority was also taken away by Longhu Mountain, and the cave he built is in a state of slow collapse.

The omnipresent and immeasurable complex consciousness in the dark sea continues to invade it, which is likely to cause some unexpected changes.

In other words, whether Zhao Yanlong can still maintain a clear self-awareness at this moment remains to be discussed.

After all, now that he has lost his worldly support, he is no different from a ghost.

As the connecting "bridge", Zou Sijiu needs to stay in the dark sea for a long time.

On the one hand, it is to keep the portal to the cave open to ensure that Chen Qisheng has a way to retreat.

On the one hand, it is necessary to shield the location of the cave to prevent possible subsequent tracking by Longhu Mountain.

As for Yuan Mingfei, it is also very important to protect the physical bodies of both of them from the outside world.

The three worlds of the present world, the dark sea, and the cave heaven are like circles nested in each other, with three people guarding each side.

If there is a problem in any link, the people at a deeper level will immediately face a life-and-death crisis.

"Sister Yuan, do you really want to let Chen Qisheng in?" Zou Sijiu asked with a frown.

"Are you worried that something might happen?" Concubine Yuan Ming smiled and said, "Would you like to have a fortune-teller to see what the result is?"

"Forget it. If this weren't a terrible omen, I wouldn't believe it myself."

Zou Sijiu said slowly, "It's not that I'm worried about anything happening. I've encountered so many things along the way that I've almost licked the blade until it's blunt. I don't have the pretentious fear of death anymore."

"It's just that this time it's a little different. If Chen Qisheng wants to fight with Longhushan, I will definitely not stop him. But you also know about the Deep Sea. There are too many unpredictable variables. If I lose my life here because of some stupid accident, it would be too frustrating."

This is because I am worried about Chen Qisheng.
"No matter how miserable it is to die in the dark sea, it probably won't be more miserable than his current situation."

Yuan Mingfei put away her umbrella and sighed, "We seem to have the upper hand at the moment, and have severely humiliated the Dragon Tiger Mountain Tianshi Mansion, and even forced the Zhang family to retreat and defend. But everyone should know in their hearts that this is actually the result of Li Jun's life fighting alone."

"To be honest, how much do you think Longhu Mountain had to do with Mr. Su's death? Not too much, at least they are not the main culprit. If it was really just to avenge the old man, then Li Jun should have gone to the Xu family in Jiangning and killed Xu Haichao, the then Japanese envoy. But he didn't do that, and instead came to Jiangxi first. You and I know the reason very well."

"Birds of a feather flock together. A group of unpopular and exiled troublemakers gathered together for warmth, arguing about how they would seek revenge and redeem themselves. But when it came time to draw swords and fight, no one wanted to drag others down with them."

Concubine Yuan Ming smiled and lifted her hair from her temples and tucked it behind her ears.

The aggressiveness she had in the past was now gone, and her eyes were filled with mixed emotions.

"Although each of us has our own misery, without exception, we all have a sense of pride in our hearts. Shen Li is like this, you are like this, and Chen Qisheng is like this. No one wants to see Lao Li fighting with others outside, while they can only hide behind and can't do anything."

"Although Chen Qisheng didn't say it, he must be feeling very uncomfortable right now. But what can he do if he feels uncomfortable? He has no ability to compete with Longhu Mountain right now. Even Yang Zong almost killed him."

"Now that there is such an opportunity in front of him, do you think he will back down?"

Zou Sijiu sighed. He understood this truth in his heart.

Normally, this group of people cursed and swore, saying "nothing matters more than life and death". But when it came to the time of action, they were all afraid that they would lag behind others.

Forbearance a moment, calm, take a step back, a brighter future.

Zou Sijiu once agreed with it very much, but now he thinks it is just nonsense.

To endure will only make you angrier, to retreat will only make you retreat further away.

Who said that the Confucian order has the strongest ability to infiltrate and assimilate? The Martial Order is clearly not weaker at all!

"Let Chen Qisheng decide on this matter. Life or death is his own choice."

Yuan Mingfei stood up and said, "I'll leave this to you."

"Don't worry, I'm good at killing people here."

Zou Sijiu grinned and wiped his temples with his hands.

When Chen Qisheng entered the Huangliang Cave, he felt as if a gentle breeze was blowing on his face.

Now it feels like crashing into the sea, pressure is everywhere and coldness is always there.

He had been to Zhao Yanlong's cave before, but the scene that appeared before his eyes this time was completely different.

The entire cave was reduced to monotonous black and white, like a splash-ink scroll, emitting an indescribable silence.

The place of descent was not in the city, but in a simple Taoist temple hidden in the mountains.

A statue of the Great Emperor Zhenwu is enshrined in the shabby and simple hall, and a stick of sandalwood that is almost burned out is inserted in the incense burner in front of it.

There is no Zhao Yanlong, and there is no Huangliang ghost who is no different from ordinary people.

Chen Qisheng stared at the empty and dilapidated Taoist temple in a daze.

"Hello, are you new here?"

The voice that suddenly rang in his ears was like pulling out the plug that was blocking Chen Qisheng's ears, and noisy voices suddenly surged.

Chen Qisheng looked back blankly, and saw a haughty-looking young man with his hands on his waist, looking him up and down.

"Why are you so stupid? I asked you what your name was, but you didn't hear me?"

Only then did Chen Qisheng realize that he was actually a head shorter than the young man, and was wearing a shabby Taoist robe of the same style as the other, but the size did not fit him.

"My name is Chen Qisheng."

"Qisheng. Why would you call yourself that? It sounds like you're going to die if you turn around. It doesn't have any spirit at all."

The young man mumbled a few words, raised his hand and patted his not-so-strong chest, and said loudly: "My name is Zhao Yanlong, from now on I will be your teaching brother. Do you understand what teaching means? What it means is that from now on in our 'Xuan Yue Temple', you will be under my charge!"

Although the world in sight was still black and white, there was no trace of decay.

The young man in front of me is full of vigor and vitality, and the incense in the censer in the distance is burning brightly.

"I see. Meet Senior Brother Zhao."

Chen Qisheng lowered his eyes and bowed, with a hint of a smile on his lips.

So this is ah
"how so?!"

The sun was shining brightly, but the Taoist temple in Guixi County was filled with a chilling chill.

Several Taoists affiliated with Xuantan Hall stood outside the door. These Taoists were charged with the duty of "upholding the Xuanmen's rules" and had a special status in Longhu Mountain. Normally, no one dared to provoke them.

This time when he came down the mountain to Guixi City, he was even more unbridled. Wherever he went in and out, he was surrounded by people and was constantly praised by Taoist priests and immortal masters.

But now they are silent as a mouse, with their heads bowed, not daring to make a sound.

Because the person who was slamming the table and cursing in the room at the moment was not someone else, but Zhang Qingyu, the abbot of Xuantan Hall of Tianshi Mansion. The door was kicked open with a clang, and Zhang Qingyu, with a gloomy face, walked out holding an electronic document, his eyes were frighteningly cold.

An hour ago, Zhang Qingli, the director of the Law and Seal Bureau of Tianshi Mansion, went to Huangliang Youhai to retrieve Zhao Yanlong's cave heaven. On the way, he was suddenly attacked by the evil demon Zou Sijiu and Yuan Mingfei. He was seriously injured and had to temporarily withdraw from Huangliang Youhai.

At the same time, due to the damage of various anchor tokens including authority and Taoist books, the whereabouts of Zhao Yanlong's sealed cave cannot be locked down for the time being. The Fazhuan Bureau will continue to collect useful anchor points and continue the investigation.

It was obvious that the job was done badly, but the wording on the electronic document was completely official, which made Zhang Qingyu furious.

As soon as Zhao Yanlong's closed cave sank into the dark sea, he notified the Law and Seal Bureau to start salvaging it. Why did they only start taking action now?

Moreover, all of Zhao Yanlong’s anchor points are inside Longhu Mountain. How did that huge yellow rat find the location of the cave?
That would be fine, but you, Zhang Qingli, are a Dao Four Youhai Yuke who holds a seat as a Baiyujing Earth Immortal. How could your cave heaven be snatched away by two small characters, and how dare you inform me in such a tone? !
Zhang Qingli, you are so brave that you still dare to secretly hinder me at this time.

Do you really think that since you have someone else behind you, this prison won't dare to touch you? !
"Has Grand Master Chongyuan read this report?"

Zhang Qingyu glanced coldly at the people below the stage and raised the documents in his hand.

"Reporting to the Prison"

A Taoist priest spoke timidly, but before he could finish his sentence, his face suddenly changed and he fell to his knees.

"I have already seen it."

A figure fell from the sky, his feathered clothes were as white as snow, and his eyebrows were as sharp as swords. It was the projection of Zhang Chongyuan.

"I didn't know that the Grand Heavenly Master was here in person. Please forgive me, Grand Heavenly Master."

Zhang Qingyu's heart suddenly skipped a beat, the hostility in his eyes disappeared, and he quickly waved his sleeves to signal his subordinates to get out.

"It doesn't matter."

Zhang Chongyuan asked, "You have read the report from the Law and Seal Bureau. What do you think?"

"The Great Heavenly Master"

Zhang Qingyu cupped his hands and gritted his teeth, saying, "Zhang Qingli's behavior this time is not just a failure to do his job well, but a dereliction of duty and a perfunctory attitude. This is disrespectful to you, the Great Heavenly Master. I propose that Xuantan Hall immediately intervene in the Fazhuan Bureau to conduct a comprehensive investigation, and we must get to the bottom of this matter!"

"If you mess up, you should find out the cause and effect, but not now."

Zhang Chongyuan said: "There is something more important that you need to do right now."

With such a great opportunity, they were no match for the Fazhuan Bureau. Could it be that Zhang Chongyuan was still afraid of the person behind Zhang Qingli?
Zhang Qingyu felt extremely sorry, but he did not dare to ask further, so he said, "I don't know what it is, please tell me, Grand Heavenly Master."

"During this period, we have been setting up defenses in Guixi and Yiyang, but Li Jun has already turned around and sneaked into the base of Gezhao Mountain. It's a pity that we are still here, foolishly waiting for the battle. It's really ridiculous."

Zhang Chongyuan sneered, but saw Zhang Qingyu fall to his knees with a thud.

"It is Qingyu who failed in his duty. Please punish him, Grand Heavenly Master."

"You can't be blamed for this alone. I didn't expect this warrior to be so bold and not take Longhu Mountain seriously."

Zhang Chongyuan said: "The news from Gezhao Mountain is that Li Jun appeared in Yuanzhou Prefecture and killed Ge Jing, the elder of Gezhao Mountain, in Fenyi City, and then left."

"Ge Jing is dead?!"

Zhang Qingyu looked up suddenly, and the shock on his face did not seem fake.

Who is Ge Jing? This is a genuine Dao Preface 3, firmly ranked in the top 20 among the earthly immortals in Baiyujing. Whether it is the number of authority, the strength of divine thoughts, or the Dao weapons and weapons, they are not comparable to Zhang Xishou's sealed Dao Preface who only has one breath left.

How could Li Jun, a person who almost lost his life to Zhang Xishou not long ago, suddenly have the ability to kill him?
For a moment, Zhang Qingyu felt a huge wave of emotion in his heart and his scalp was numb.

He had never heard of or seen such a terrifying speed of strength improvement.

"Great Heavenly Master, I'm afraid this news is false."

Zhang Qingyu blurted out: "The people of Gezao Mountain can't be trusted."

"This Taoist Master also finds it strange, but the seat of the Earthly Immortal in Baiyujing is not fake. The cushion belonging to Ge Jing is indeed empty, proving that he is really dead."

Zhang Chongyuan said helplessly, "It takes a thousand years for the spirit to grow an inch, but it only takes a moment for the devil to grow a foot. When the mountains and rivers are in turmoil, there will always be some demons that go against common sense. There is no need to be too surprised."

Having said that, there was an unconcealable bitterness on Zhang Qingyu's face.

If Li Jun really killed Ge Jing by himself, it would mean that his current strength is already comparable to that of the third in the main combat sequence.

You must know that although Zhang Chongyuan's position as an earthly immortal in Baiyujing is much higher than Ge Jing's, the difference is not huge. Even if Zhang Chongyuan wants to kill Ge Jing, it will take a lot of effort, not to mention himself.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qingyu suddenly felt a little relieved.

Fortunately, Li Jun did not attack Guixi where he was stationed.
"Qingyu, get up and talk."

Zhang Qingyu stood up, calmed himself down, and said respectfully: "Grand Heavenly Master, since Li Jun killed Ge Jing, Ge Zao Mountain will not let it go easily. This is a good thing for us."

"So the elder Yi Kuidou of Gezhao Mountain hopes to put aside the past grudges with us and join forces to kill Li Jun."

Zhang Chongyuan asked softly, "Qingyu, what do you think about their request?"

A sudden feeling of uneasiness filled Zhang Qingyu's heart. He licked his lips subconsciously, and thoughts raced through his mind.

"In reply to the Grand Heavenly Master, Gezhao Mountain and our Dragon Tiger have been at loggerheads for many years. Our disciples have had constant friction, and even our disciples' hands have been stained with the blood of Gezhao Mountain Daoxu. This grudge cannot be put aside just by saying so. This is one reason."

"Secondly, because of what Luocheng of Gezhao Mountain did in the Japanese area, Li Jun did have a motive to attack Gezhao Mountain. But Fenyi City is not the gate of Gezhao Mountain. How could Ge Jing happen to appear in such an insignificant place in such a huge Yuanzhou Prefecture, and be met by Li Jun by chance? This is too much of a coincidence."

Zhang Qingyu said firmly: "So I think there must be something fishy behind this matter. It is very likely that Gezhao Mountain is secretly colluding with Li Jun and jointly plotting to harm Longhu Mountain!"

After saying this, Zhang Qingyu breathed in slightly and looked excited.

At this moment, he felt that his thinking was so clear that he had already seen through his opponent's schemes and tricks.

But Zhang Chongyuan's next words made him feel like he was falling into an icy cave.

"But what if the truth of the matter is really such a coincidence?"

Zhang Qingyu's pupils suddenly dilated as he stared blankly at the Great Taoist Priest of Mount Longhu in front of him.

What does it mean?
"Ge Jing is the younger brother of Ge Fenghuo, the head of Gezhao Mountain. Although they don't value blood ties as much as our Zhang family does, they are not crazy enough to plot against Ge Jing's life."

Zhang Qingyu didn't care about being humble and polite at the moment, and said anxiously: "But Ge Fenghuo..."

"I know that you want to say that Ge Fenghuo is a tyrant. As long as he can threaten Longhu Mountain, he will not be reluctant to give up a Ge Jing."

Zhang Chongyuan said calmly: "But these are just speculations, and we cannot conclude that Gezhaoshan is definitely harboring evil intentions. On the contrary, one thing is very certain. That is, Li Jun must die in Jiangxi Province. If he doesn't die, the majesty of the dragon and tiger will not exist, and the Zhang family will lose face!"

"The Great Heavenly Master"

"No need to say more, this matter is settled!"

Zhang Chongyuan raised his voice and shouted, "Li Jun is now in Nanchang Prefecture. You should lead your men to attack from both sides together with Yi Kuidou of Gezhao Mountain. Don't let him get away again."

"This time you are going to Nanchang Prefecture on behalf of the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion. All matters in Guangxin Prefecture will be temporarily handed over to Zhang Ximao. At the same time, in addition to the nine elite troops at your disposal, the last three sealed Dao Sans of the 'Xi' generation in the Tianshi Mansion will also be handed over to you."

Zhang Chongyuan's eyes were cold: "This Taoist Lord will also personally preside over Beidou's 'Po Jun' and will be online at any time. You just need to contain Li Jun, and this Taoist Lord will kill Li Jun on the spot!"

Zhang Qingyu stood there in a daze, and when he came to his senses, Zhang Chongyuan's projection had disappeared.

Three elite members of the nine dragon and tiger divisions were sealed and Dao San personally presided over the Tianguixing
Although the army seems to be strong and powerful, Zhang Qingyu feels sad in his heart.

Now the evil demon has become more powerful, but at this time, Zhang Chongyuan is still unwilling to go down the mountain in person.

Gezhao Mountain still has a genuine Taoist elder leading the team personally, but Longhu Mountain lets himself, a Taoist elder, lead the demon-slaying.

What's the point? !

If you, Zhang Chongyuan, really think this is not a trap, why did you push me to the front?

"Dragon and tiger majesty. What a dragon and tiger majesty. What a great honor for the Zhang family."

Zhang Qingyu was surrounded by a cold aura, and he uttered three harsh words through his clenched teeth.

"Okay, great!"
