My Xiuxian script went astray

Chapter 75 Presbyterian Church
Chen Lang returned to Tianjian Sect late at night.

The flying monster landed on the ground and someone came to pick it up immediately. Chen Lang looked around and according to his memory, this should be near the martial arts training ground. Now it was empty and a bit cold.

"Elder Zhou, the people have been brought here. Please make arrangements." The messenger withdrew.

The person who contacted him was Zhou Tianzheng, whom Chen Lang recognized as Han Tianxiao's nominal master.

"Let's go to the conference room." Zhou Tianzheng glanced at Chen Lang with a neutral tone. He really didn't have a good impression of Chen Lang.

"No hurries?"

Chen Lang looked left and right. He hadn't seen his sons and daughters for a long time. He really missed them. Also, he hadn't heard from Su Qingchan for a long time. He didn't know whether she was dead or not.

"Everyone is waiting for you. Why, do you want the elders to wait for you?" Zhou Tianzheng asked back.

You guys are waiting for my business.

Chen Lang didn't care, but he also knew that the negotiations hadn't started yet, and he was not a free man, and couldn't walk freely in the sect, so he nodded and said, "Lead the way."

Passing through a scenic forest, Chen Lang arrived deep into the sect. There was a large hall at the back, brightly lit.

There was incense burning in the hall with a strange fragrance. It must be a precious medicinal material. Chen Lang took a glance at it. He had seen many spiritual stones in the mine, but he had never seen a real precious medicine.

In the room on the left, the fireflies were brightly lit, and a dozen elders were sitting around a long table. Zhou Tianzheng entered the room and nodded slightly:

"People brought it."

Then he sat down too.

Chen Lang took a quick look and saw many familiar faces. Zhong Haoran was also there. It had been two months since they last saw each other. Elder Zhong was as calm as ever and nodded slightly to him.

In addition, there is Elder Shi and the person who gave the impassioned speech under the Tianchi Lake.

They had just finished talking about something and most of them were staring at Chen Lang. The elder who was giving the speech had a round look in his eyes and looked like he missed him.

"It's been less than two months since I left, but the good fortune is really great."

Elder Shi spoke up. He could naturally see that Chen Lang was at the initial stage of foundation building. He was very interested and asked, "Tell me, what adventures did you have over there?"

Ever since the Black Mountain Spiritual Mine disappeared and there was no news about Chen Lang, he had not inquired about it. When he reappeared, he had become the owner of the Yanxi Mine. There must be some great luck involved.

"Hey, you've made such great progress. Did you take the elixir of immortality?" The lecturer also laughed, "Or did someone secretly send you something good?"

Many elders looked at Zhong Haoran in unison.

Zhong Haoran remained calm, "I will never force anyone to improve their realm."

The elders did not doubt him either. This upgrade speed was really too fast and did not conform to Zhong Haoran's belief in steady progress. His two direct disciples back then were even at a suppressed level and could easily beat people above their level.

Chen Lang looked around and asked, "Is there no seat for me?"

Elder Qing said calmly, "This is the Elders' Council. You are a disciple, so just stand and report."

Chen Lang had no intention of accommodating them and turned around to leave.

"You stop."

The elder who gave the speech immediately scolded, "This is the Tianjian Sect, not a place where you can walk around casually!"

"Row."

Chen Lang stretched out his index finger and middle finger. Zhong Haoran saw it and knew that the earth escape talisman was about to appear. He sighed in his heart and stood up to make way.

"Come here and sit here with me."

He has complicated feelings towards Chen Lang. Although the master-disciple relationship has been severed, there are some things that everyone remembers. How can it be cut off just like that?
Seeing the situation develop like this, the elders' purpose of intimidating Chen Lang's bad temper was ruined. They couldn't let Zhong Haoran stand, so Zhou Tianzheng stood up, found a stool and placed it near the door.

Chen Lang sat down and got straight to the point. "Yes, I got 40 spirit stones. Please state your conditions."

"This is not urgent."

Zhou Tianzheng took a pen and paper and spoke first, "Let's talk about the Western Leader first. How did you get the flag without alerting the queen?" "Sorry, I have no comment." Chen Lang said.

However, he still took the box out of the storage bag and threw it on the table. He couldn't subdue this thing, and it seemed very dangerous. It would be better to let the Tianjian Sect deal with the time bomb.

Zhou Tianzheng opened it, and what appeared to be it was the blood-colored Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.

All eyes fell on the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. They had seldom seen this thing up close, because once a cultivator of their level showed up, those carrying the banner would immediately summon the Lord of Ten Thousand Souls to fight off the enemy.

"It's rare for someone to get a flag." Zhou Tianzheng and the other elders looked at it carefully. Their attention was temporarily diverted and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

However, after studying for a while, they didn't come up with any results, so they turned their attention back to Chen Lang.

"Chen Lang."

An elder spoke first, "You have indeed made great contributions this time. You destroyed a detachment of the Pingtian Sect, defended the Yanxi Mine, and even repelled the Qingmu Sect. This is your contribution, and no one can deny it."

"But at the same time, the mistake you made is far more serious than you imagined. The loss you caused to our sect is immeasurable. Even with such merit, it is difficult to make up for your mistake. You can stand here safely at this moment, and you have to thank the sect for its tolerance towards you."

"Stop."

Chen Lang stared at him, "What's your name?"

"Watch your words!" Zhou Tianzheng warned seriously.

The elder waved his hand and said, "I became a monk in my early years. My Taoist name is Qingguan. You can just call me Elder Qing."

"Okay then." Chen Lang nodded, "Elder Qing, please make it clear that I have been expelled from the sect by you. Now I am negotiating with you as an outsider, not a disciple. Escorting the Black Mountain Spirit Mine is your punishment for me, and I have already escaped.

So I have no fault to make up for, don't try to use that on me, just talk directly to the terms."

His purpose was extremely clear. He came to negotiate today with 40 spirit stones. It would be awkward to talk about feelings.

"You have a point."

Elder Qing suddenly sneered and said sinisterly, "But if you escape and are caught by us again, we can just execute you. Hundreds of thousands of spirit stones are also dirty things and do not belong to you."

"You can try it."

Chen Lang leaned back in his chair, showing his neck, and said with a smile: "Come on, get started, and then you can find the spirit stones yourself. If you find them, they are yours."

He didn't care. If they really wanted to kill him, he wouldn't be here to negotiate.

Moreover, he would not be so foolish as to bring the spirit stones with him. He knew that gold coins would drop when people died.

Elder Qing's face was gloomy, filled with murderous intent.

The young men he had met were all well-behaved and docile, a little arrogant at best, but they still understood the basic etiquette of respecting teachers. How could there be such a person?
"Well, let me tell you." Elder Shi stopped Elder Qing. Intimidation was obviously meaningless. If this person was afraid, he would not do such a heaven-defying thing.

Elder Shi's tone softened a lot. "Chen Lang, we have already discussed this before. If you hand over all the spirit stones, we can let you return to the sect and restore your status as a disciple. Our crimes will be wiped out and we will not pursue them in the future."

He was telling the truth. They knew very well what Chen Lang wanted, because the moment they agreed to return to the sect, the facts had already been told to them - Chen Lang still wanted to come back.

Climbing up to the location of the owner of Yanxi Mine and the existence of Su Qingchan all prove this fact.

This is the biggest support for their conversation today.

The other elders stopped and had no objection. Only the elder who was giving the speech continued to stare at Chen Lang coldly and snorted. He looked very dissatisfied.

Zhong Haoran sat against the wall and spoke very little, perhaps because of his status or just his usual style.

Just when everyone thought that Chen Lang would agree immediately, they heard a sneer.

"Elder Shi? Are you stupid?"
