My Xiuxian script went astray

Chapter 95 Caught a Strange Thing

This group of people were none other than Fang Shao's group of Tianjian Sect disciples. Now an old man appeared beside them and was listening to their story with a serious look on his face.

At this moment, the Southern Leader appeared, and they saw Chen Lang who was detained and standing next to them.

"Elder! It's him!"

"Elders, please help and rescue Brother Chen Lang!" someone spoke, glaring at the Southern Sect Leader.

"Old thing, you rely on your strength to bully the weak. What's the point of bullying us, the younger generation?" someone shouted.

Their guard elder was also at the Jindan stage and was not weaker than the other side. Since Chen Lang helped them escape from the encirclement, they naturally would not sit idly by and let him fall into the hands of the enemy.

The Shuguan elder stared at the Southern Cult Leader, "Why did you take action? Why did you break the rules?"

The Southern Cult Leader asked back, "Are you questioning me? Not only did you not offer sacrifices, but you also dared to kill our people. Who is breaking the rules?"

"It has nothing to do with them. Let's talk somewhere else." The Shuguan elder had a cold expression on his face, but interrupted him.

"Alright."

The Southern Cult Leader smiled playfully, agreed, and retreated dozens of miles.

"I'll be back soon." said the elder who guarded the pass.

"Please be sure to bring Brother Chen Lang back." Fang Shao said.

The elder guarding the pass paused for a moment, turned his head to look at them, and then left.

……

"Fellow Daoist, I will give you some time to explain." The Southern Sect Leader stood not far away, controlling Chen Lang with one hand and negotiating with the elder of Shuguan.

Chen Lang also looked at him carefully. It was difficult to tell the level of this elder, but judging from his attitude, it should be almost the same as that of the Southern Sect Leader, otherwise there would be no negotiation.

The guard elder didn't think twice and said, "Okay, if you let him go, I'll give you those people and write off today's incident. How about that?"

Chen Lang was surprised. No, you really agreed?

At this moment, he couldn't help but reflect, could it be that the leader of Tianjian Sect was just an agent, and the real boss behind the scenes was Zhong Haoran?

Otherwise he would have no idea why he would do that.

The Southern Cult Leader sneered, "Do I need these people? If I want to take them down, I will do it right away. Do I need to talk to you?"

The guard elder asked, "What do you want?"

"I'll make you hand it over in person."

The Southern Cult Leader was very cold and arrogant. "These people are only the first. Secondly, compensate our dead flag raisers with at least the same number of sacrifices of the same level of cultivation. Third, hand over the Western Cult Leader's Ten Thousand Souls Banner."

The Shuguan elder refused, "We killed your people? Then how many people you killed from my Tianjian Sect are not counted in the account?"

The Southern Cult Leader remained unmoved:
"Don't play dumb with me. Aren't all the disciples you sent here considered as sacrifices? Does killing them count as killing?

I, Pingtian Sect, will not touch your real seeds anymore. This is the rule we have tacitly accepted for many years. If you don't want to abide by it, we are happy to see it happen.

The souls on your Heavenly Ranking are all high-quality souls. I have been eyeing them for a long time. When half of them die, don’t come crying and come to fight us.”

Chen Lang frowned and said:

"Sacrifice? Are we sending them here to die this time?"

"Yes."

The Southern Sect Leader smiled faintly, "You are Zhong Haoran's disciple, don't you know these things? Oh, that's right, in order to take care of your pure and fragile hearts and maintain the image of the Tianjian Sect as a righteous sect, these old guys must have kept it a secret and dared not tell you.

How about this, Chen Lang, you saved a group of people who deserved to die, and even sacrificed yourself, do you regret it now?"

"How can I regret it if you don't kill me?" Chen Lang asked back.

He finally understood completely that according to the arrangement of the Tianjian Sect, they were all going to die, but he had messed up the situation and killed the Pingtian Sect, which made them angry.

It’s not just a matter of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

"Don't worry, I will kill you sooner or later." The Southern Leader responded coldly.

Chen Lang looked at the Shuguan elder and said, "Look, he said he would kill me sooner or later. Just take them back. There's no point in talking."

"shut up!"

The Southern Sect Leader was furious. What a fool! If it wasn’t for the fact that it still had value, why would he wait until now?

But the problem is, this kid actually dared to commit suicide, but he wanted to stop him. It's really weird.

"Have you thought it through?" he asked the elder who guarded the pass.

Elder Shuguan said, "I can't make the decision." This matter has a huge impact and concerns the internal security of the sect. He is not sure whether to tear up the agreement and officially go to war with the Pingtian Sect, or continue to compromise and just treat it as an accident today.

"Then go back and inform the other elders, otherwise I will take the person away." The Southern Leader sneered and was not worried at all.

"Can I say something?" Chen Lang asked.

"Go ahead." The Southern Leader agreed. He had said everything he needed to say. Now he just had to see what the other party would choose.

"Listen, old man."

Chen Lang said calmly, "You don't need to ask. The elders in the council will definitely not agree. They wish I would die sooner. If Zhong Haoran has any objections, you can tell him that the Tianjian Sect may be everything to him, but to me I am just a passer-by. He doesn't need to be sentimental."

The Shuguan elder nodded, "I will tell you the truth."

However, he warned the Southern Cult Leader, "But before that, you need to ensure that he is safe, otherwise there will be no need for negotiation."

"I want results within one day," said the Southern Leader.

Then, the elder guarding the pass retreated.

"You seem to be really anxious to die. Actually, you can just go back. Is it that serious?" said the Southern Leader. He could sense that during the negotiations, Chen Lang had been trying to trigger the restriction he had cast in an attempt to commit suicide.

Nonsense, I can still go back even if I commit suicide.

Chen Lang said, "It's meaningless. You're using me to negotiate, which only shows that you know nothing about the Tianjian Sect."

"Zhong Haoran is very protective of his people." said the Southern Cult Leader.

"I became his disciple just as a deal, and I entered the inner sect because I exchanged the dirty stuff from the Western leader.

If it weren't for the interests, the Tianjian Sect would be happy to hand me over, do you believe it?"

"Yes, this is in line with the style of the Tianjian Sect."

The Southern Sect Leader agreed with this, "It's not surprising that the Heavenly Sword Sect treats outer disciples as worthless and they all put on a hypocritical face to protect their inner sect's true teachings."

"It's not your turn to judge this." Chen Lang said, "So, just kill me and stop wasting time."

After killing them, I had to go back to hand in the task. This time I lost a Nine Revolutions Pill, which was a huge loss.

"Hahaha."

The Southern Sect Leader, however, changed his expression and said sarcastically, "What do you want to prove by saying so much? To prove that you are not valuable as a bargaining chip? Then why did you sacrifice yourself to save those people? It means that there are people among them that you care about, and it also means that your relationship with the Heavenly Sword Sect is not as bad as you say."

Although he was doing things in Pingtian Sect, he felt that he was not a very evil person. How could there be so many bad people? They were just trying to make a living.

He understands the right and wrong of human nature. He has people he cares about, and the people he cares about must also care about him. There will definitely be someone who will push the negotiation to a conclusion, so he doesn't need to worry.

Furthermore, whether it was his cultivation or his ability to use the earth-escaping talisman that could break through the Empress's domain, all of these proved that he was an extremely important figure in the Tianjian Sect and could be of great use.

If he was an elder of the Tianjian Sect, he would admire Chen Lang's behavior and be moved by his righteousness, but he was a member of the Pingtian Sect and would only be happy to let the Tianjian Sect make the decision and then watch a big show.

"You are wrong." Chen Lang said, "I saved them just because I don't like them. I don't have any feelings towards the Tianjian Sect. If you don't believe me, how about we make a deal?"

"You? Trade?" The Southern Cult Leader was surprised. "Tell me, I want to hear it."

It’s hard to imagine that a prisoner would want to negotiate with him.

Chen Lang said, "Give me a Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and I will join your Pingtian Sect."

"?"

The Southern Sect Leader was amused. "My Pingtian Sect is full of desperate criminals. A person like you who values ​​friendship and loyalty is not worthy of being a dead soul in the banner."

"Then you have very poor vision."

Chen Lang thought to himself, this is outrageous. I just want to get a Ten Thousand Souls Banner to play with. Why are you trying to figure out what to do with yourself?
Once I have mastered the use of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, you will no longer have any control over it.

"I'm serious. Although I'm in the Tianjian Sect, I've been oppressed by them and I've long been fed up with them. I want to join the Pingtian Sect.

How about you take me to see the empress, and give me a Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and I will help you nourish your souls. Oh, I want a black one." He suggested sincerely.

"Are you serious?"

The Southern Sect Leader stopped and looked at Chen Lang with strange eyes, "If you are really sincere, kill as many Heavenly Sword Sect disciples as you killed before, and I will believe you."

"Do you keep your word?" Chen Lang said.

Southern Leader:?
wrong.

His mind told him that this person was lying to him and wanted to stop the Tianjian Sect from negotiating with them, but his intuition told him that this guy really wanted to do this.

What did I catch?
