My Xiuxian script went astray

Chapter 66: Pingtian Cult Attacks

This made the mountain master speechless.

The members of Team 7 were shocked. "Captain, Brother Han, are you still sleepy? Why don't you go wash your face?"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, but the mountain master paused for a moment and laughed:
“Brother Han is such an interesting person.

To be honest, we all work for the Tianjian Sect, so it doesn't matter who becomes the mountain master. Back then, the higher-ups saw that I was good at management and gave me the task to take on this important responsibility. After so many years, we have developed to where we are now. I feel very emotional when I think about it."

Then, he changed the subject and said:

"Brother Han is very powerful and young, with a promising future. His luck is far superior to mine. It is a waste of talent for you to work in the wilderness. Unlike me, I am old and don't have much ambition. I have parents and children to take care of, so I don't care about these things.

I still have some face in the Tianjian Sect, why don't I get recommended to the Hyuga Sect and become an inner disciple, which is much better than staying here."

When the other team members heard his suggestion, they were all very excited. They had longed to become inner disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and the mountain master had often mentioned it. Was he going to fulfill his promise today?
"Forget it." Chen Lang shook his head.

He still didn't know what the inner disciples were, how could they be recommended? And did he dare to go back now?
What's the truth? No means no. Chen Lang was just asking casually.

Because according to the plot hints, there should be this part.

If you don’t give it to me, then just take it yourself.

In the end, the mountain master still promised Chen Lang one thousand spirit stones and some elixirs as a reward. As for his position, it couldn't be promoted any further. If he wanted to be promoted further, he would really have to replace him, or promote a deputy mountain master?

Return to the main mine.

"Second brother, was it done by Team Seven?" asked a man with an ordinary face. He was the eldest brother of the mountain owner.

The mountain master nodded, "It's him."

"What an amazing boy." The man scratched his head, thinking that the people outside were amazing. "Hey, why are you unhappy? Is there something on your mind?"

The mountain master looked around and saw that there was no one around. He sighed and said, "Brother, this person might be a threat in the future."

When Chen Lang mentioned it later, he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but it did give him a heavy blow.

How powerful was it to defeat the Qingmu Sect by himself? He asked himself if he could do it. No.

And I heard from my nephew that this person is very ambitious and has always been eager to make achievements. What is his intention? Isn't it obvious?
However, he has been the mountain master here for many years. This is his career, a position he has worked hard for many years to get. If he cannot find a way to get rid of this person, he himself will be in danger. Once he loses his position, the whole family will suffer.

This made him feel very complicated. He wanted to have a strong assistant, but he didn't want him to take away too many benefits, let alone directly threaten his position.

He told his eldest brother his idea.

After hearing this, the eldest brother said, "Then why don't you recommend him to the Tianjian Sect?"

The mountain master smiled bitterly, "That was just for the guards to hear. The Tianjian Sect is very deep, how can I recommend it?"

Finally, he made up his mind and said:
"Brother, tell your eldest uncle, second uncle, third uncle, and your son to control their temper and not to make Han Tianxiao unhappy.

I have already thought of a way to deal with this matter and will handle it myself."

He knew these relatives very well and they liked to put on airs. He regarded Han Tianxiao as a dangerous person. Even if he decided to deal with him, he could not easily alert the enemy.

……

After the defeat of the Aoki clan, the news spread and the Yanxi Mine became famous.

The mountain master was not stingy with his reputation and spread Han Tianxiao's name. The nearby bandits and alchemists were terrified when they heard it. The Qingmu Sect was even more discouraged. They tried to recruit defenders again, but most of them were unwilling to go back.

Therefore, Yanxi Mine was peaceful for many days. Chen Lang distributed the captured spoils to the members of Team 7. Among them were formation materials, protective items, etc., which were used to reinforce the mine.

Then, Chen Lang suddenly received an order:
He was promoted to the captain of the garrison and was ordered to defend the front line, which was Songhu Mine, to fight against the Pingtian Sect in order to suppress the sect's arrogance and enhance the reputation of the Tianjian Sect.

The mountain master also said that he had already negotiated with the elders of the Tianjian Sect, and that they would help him arrange a status as an inner disciple after the battle.

When this order came, Chen Lang happily accepted it, and the entire team 7 was in an uproar. But unlike the past, this time there was no surprise, only shock.

"Captain, my wife has given birth, I need to take a leave to go back."

"Captain, me too."

"Captain, I."

"Let's all go." Chen Lang didn't care. Most of these people's cultivation was not as good as his. They would just be cannon fodder if they went. It would be better for them to leave after finishing their work to avoid escaping from the battlefield.

Finally, the captain of Team 16 couldn't stand it anymore and advised, "Friend Han, the Pingtian Sect is not an ordinary force. It is much stronger and more vicious than the Qingmu Sect. If you really go, I'm afraid your brothers will be in danger of death."

He believed that his cultivation was not as good as Chen Lang's, but he was experienced and knew the ins and outs of the situation. He saw through the mountain master's trick at a glance, and he thought that he wanted to take the opportunity to kill him.

We are all here to earn spirit stones, there is no need to risk our lives.

"no need."

Chen Lang was very resolute. This was his most honest moment: "A real man cannot escape from the battlefield. I will not return until I defeat that bird leader!"

We should be dedicated and down-to-earth in life. We should first get rid of the Western leader and then the leader. It doesn't matter if we wait a little longer.

He has very clear ideas.

So, one day after he took office as the vanguard captain, four people ran away from Team 7 and six from Team 16, leaving a total of less than a dozen people.

Because they still have confidence in Chen Lang, the battle with Qingmu Sect was really shocking. They think that no matter how strong the Pingtian Sect is, how much stronger can it be than the more than one hundred cultivators of Qingmu Sect?

Then, more than half a month passed peacefully.

The mountain master completed the maintenance of the protective formation at the main mine of Yanxi. This formation has been passed down for more than a hundred years. It carries murderous intent with every step and has experienced many ups and downs. Even if a cultivator in the late foundation building stage comes, it will be difficult to break through in a short time.

The mountain master was relieved when he saw Chen Lang patrolling every day, never leaving his post and having no other thoughts, and he became less wary of Chen Lang.

"Here are a thousand spirit stones. Brother Han is working hard at the front. Send them to him." The mountain master gave the order. He could see that the morale at the front was low and some people were deserting the battlefield, so he gave this order to stabilize people's hearts.

He wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Chen Lang, but he had to do it to save face. The best result would be if he could fight the Pingtian Sect and both sides suffered losses.

"I have just recruited a few people with good strength. Send them to Brother Han." A few days later, the mountain master gave again instructions. Recently, a few more monks who signed up to be guardians came. They seemed to have escaped from the Black Mountain Spirit Mine. Some things had happened there recently. He didn't want such people with unclear identities.

Chen Lang gladly accepted the spiritual stones, but when they were delivered to him, he was living in Bengbu.

"Xiao Jin? Skinny monkey?"

Chen Lang didn't expect that after leaving the Black Mountain Spiritual Mine, he would actually see these guys here.

He also noticed that Mr. Jin had made a breakthrough and entered the eighth level of Qi Refining, and the cultivation of the other skinny guys had also improved significantly. They had all gained weight in just a month or so.

However, he touched the mask on his face. The other party did not recognize him, so he did not tell the truth. They were just a few thugs, and revealing his identity might get him into trouble.

However, after asking around, he still found out that on the day the Black Mountain Spiritual Mine was destroyed, Brother Dan released many miners, while the owner of the Black Mountain Spiritual Mine and his men were all buried underground.

They lived as refugees outside for a while and stole some spirit stones from other mines. As a result, they were chased and beaten by the mine guards there, and they were unable to defeat them. So they discussed it and decided to join together, and then came here.

After adding five people to the team as reinforcements, Chen Lang continued his patrol.

Finally, five days later, the spy brought news.

"The Pingtian Sect's large army is coming!"
