Ninth Demon Lord

Chapter 374
When He Jinpeng heard this, he quickly lowered his head: "It turns out that the suzerain has already found out everything." But in his heart, he still thought that the suzerain was just explaining his blackmail just now.

"Do you think I only let you do this by yourself?" Xue Bu said.

"The disciple is dull." He Jinpeng didn't dare to raise his head, he felt that what he heard now was something he shouldn't have heard.

"Protect Li Wan." Xue Bu ordered.

"Yes, the disciple is leaving." He Jinpeng slowly exited the hall.

The hall was empty, and Xue Bu's expression also changed, becoming a little complicated, and his eyes were a little cold.

After waiting for a while, he said to the gate: "Please come to the Cangling Hall."
"Yes, suzerain." The disciple at the door agreed and went down.

Not long after, an old man of medium build walked in.The old man has gray beard and hair, and is slightly fat. His eyes are small but energetic.

This person is Cheng Yan, one of the eight elders of Qi Cangzong, and the highest realm among the twelve elders. Like Xue Hengsheng, he is also a beginner in Burning City.

"See Sovereign."
Within the sect, the suzerain had the highest status, and when Cheng Yan met Xue Hengsheng, he also had to pay respects.

"You don't need to be too polite, please sit down." Xue Bu said politely.

"Thank you, Sect Master." Cheng Yan went to the chair next to him and sat down.

Xue Bu looked at Chengyan, and said with regret, "Mr. Zhang, I think you should know about Li Wan."
"Yes, I heard that she is a strange woman." Cheng Yan said.

"I hope Li Wan can join Qi Cangzong."
"I know."
"But... Junior brother Xue Hengsheng... actually colluded with outsiders and wanted to murder Li Wan." Xue Bu's face showed a look of pain.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yan's expression froze slightly: "There are such things."
"Zhan Qingyao died at the hands of Li Wan, and Zhan Qingyu disappeared, I am very worried." Xue Bu said.

"The suzerain is worried that Zhan Qingyu will make a comeback?"
"Actually, Zhan Qingyu has made a comeback, and he has brought a not-so-simple helper."
Xue Bu paused for a moment before sighing, "Zhan Qingyu recruited people from Mu Qingshan's Lin family to deal with Li Wan."
"Mu Qingshan's Lin family!" Cheng Yan was a little surprised.

"Yes, just last night, the ninth master of the Lin family died in Lin's town."
"There are such things!" Chengyan was even more surprised.

Xue Bu looked at Chengyan and said, "The situation is a bit chaotic now, I don't know who killed this young master of the Lin family."
"What is the realm of this young master of the Lin family?"
"Hanging Lake Intermediate Level."
"There are not many people who can kill Xuanhu middle-level people." Cheng Yan said.

"Yes!" Xue Bu said worriedly, "So the situation is getting more and more complicated now."
Chengyan is also a smart person, he knew that Xue Bu's coming to him must have something to do with this matter.He asked directly: "Sovereign, what can I do?"
"No matter what, we can't let Li Wan get hurt. I want to ask the elders to help protect Li Wan." Xue Bu said.

"Of course." Cheng Yan is also a person who loves talents.

"Then it's time to grow old." Xue Bu said and stood up.

Cheng Yan also stood up immediately, and said, "Sect Master, I'm going to visit Yaoku Peak now."
"Okay." Xue Bu showed gratitude.

After Cheng Yan bowed slightly, he turned and left the main hall, left Returning Peak, and flew towards Yaoku Peak.

As the most powerful diagenetic among the eight elders, he seldom shows up at ordinary times and has been devoting himself to cultivation.Although I seldom meet the suzerain Xue Bu, after all, I have known each other for more than 100 years, and I know the suzerain Xue Bu quite well.

When I received this task today, I felt a little strange in my heart.It's not that he doesn't want to protect Li Wan, it's just that he doesn't think it's that simple.

At the foot of Yaoku Peak, Cheng Yan didn't meet those who protected Li Wan, he just looked around casually, and then quietly came to Chuan Gong Hall.His relationship with Ping Jian is much closer than that of Xue Bu, he likes the righteousness and honesty of Ping Jian.He quietly avoided many disciples and sneaked to the backyard of Chuan Gong Hall.

He flew to the door of the study and asked the disciple guarding the door to report.

Without waiting for the disciple guarding the door to report, the door of the study opened, and Ping Jian walked out.

"Chang Chang, you are here." Ping Jian said with a smile.

"Go in and talk." Cheng Yan gestured not to speak loudly.

Ping Jian took Cheng Yan into the study room, and after closing the door, drew out a soundproof barrier.

The two sat down, plainly said with a smile: "Chang Chang, how do you have the time to come to Chuan Gong Hall?"
Cheng Yan replied with a smile: "The suzerain has an order, let me protect Li Wan."
Upon hearing this, Ping Jian asked in surprise, "The suzerain really treats Li Wan so kindly!"
"Yes! Could it be that Li Wan is in greater danger?" Cheng Yan asked.

Ping Jian shook his head slightly, and said: "Of course there are dangers, but the brothers from the Zhan family came to make trouble before, which made Li Wan encounter some dangers. But since Zhan Qingyao was killed by Li Wan, Zhan Qingyu has never been seen again." news."
"No news, it doesn't mean you won't come back." Cheng Yan said.

"Zhan Qingyu will definitely come again. Even if he doesn't come, someone will make him come." Ping Jian and Diaoyan have a very good relationship, so it is clearer to say it.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yan smiled and said, "Master Ping, could it be that Baodian Hall really doesn't like Li Wan so much?"
Ping Jian frowned, revealing a slight anger: "Chang Chang, you have been concentrating on cultivation, living in seclusion, there are some things you don't know."
"Master Ping, is it not just that Li Wan killed Gu Yinglong between Baodian Hall and Li Wan?" Cheng Yan is also a smart person, he feels that things are a bit complicated.

"Gu Yinglong is just an excuse."
So, Ping Jian sent Xue Xiao to treasure hunting, found the clue of leaving home, and then tortured the four members of the family, forcing them to tell Chengyan about the location of the treasure.

Of course, he also revealed his dissatisfaction with Xue Xiao and Xue Hengsheng, thinking that Xue Xiao and Xue Hengsheng still hurt Li Wan knowing that Li Wan's talent is extraordinary, this is a big mistake.He believes that Li Wanyuan is more precious than any treasure, and with Li Wan, Qi Cangzong will have a stronger future.

After hearing this, Cheng Yan was also a little surprised. He really didn't know these things.He was silent for a while, and said: "The Baodian Hall is worried that Li Wan will continue to take revenge, so they don't want Li Wan to join Qi Cangzong."
Ping Jian nodded slightly, and said: "With the Xue family brothers' mischief, with Li Wan's strong character, how could she easily forget this hatred."
"The matter of Baodiantang is indeed too much." Cheng Yan's tone was also filled with anger.

"Because Baodiantang has done too much, that's why Baodiantang is afraid." Ping Jian said.

Cheng Yan nodded slightly, and then said: "Although Baodian doesn't want Li Wan to join Qi Cangzong, Hall Master Xue won't do it himself, will he?"
Ping Jian said silently: "According to our thinking, Xue Hengsheng absolutely shouldn't do it, and we dare not do it himself. But the suzerain asked you to come out to protect Li Wan, obviously because he was worried that Xue Hengsheng would do it himself."
Cheng Yan smiled and said: "I and Master Xue are both at the beginning of Burning City, and our strength is between equals. If he makes a sudden move, I may not be able to stop him."
"But it is enough to deter Xue Hengsheng." Ping Jian said.

Cheng Yan nodded slightly, and said, "I really don't want to fight Xue Tang."
"I also don't want Xue Hengsheng to do it himself, it would really embarrass our Qi Cangzong." There was a bit of anger in Ping Jian's tone.

Cheng Yan said: "Advise Li Wan to worship Cangzong of Qi earlier and go to Cangling Palace to practice, won't everything be fine?"
"I tried it, that child is very stubborn, he just refuses to be a teacher." Ping Jian said.

Cheng Yan smiled helplessly: "A 21-year-old woman is so disgusted with Qi Cangzong, it really makes the sect lose face."
"No matter how much face I lose, I will keep Li Wan." Ping Jian said solemnly.

"Master Ping, I will definitely help you keep her." Cheng Yan said.

"Then I would like to thank you very much." Ping Jian said with a smile.

"It's all for the future of the sect." Cheng Yan also laughed.

Suddenly, the disciple outside the door said: "Master, Master He Yutang is asking to see you."
Ping Jian dispelled the sound barrier and said, "Let him in."
"Yes."
Soon, the door of the study opened, and He Yutang walked in dressed in Tsing Yi.He was a little surprised when he saw diagenesis.First salute to Master, and then to Chengyan.

"What's the matter?" Ping Jian asked.

He Yutang paused for a moment, he didn't know whether Cheng Yan should know about this matter.

"There is nothing a grown-up can't know." Ping Jian said solemnly.

"Yes." He Yutang immediately said: "Master, someone was killed in the Lin family town last night, and the person who died was Lin Chaofu, one of the heads of the Lin family in Mu Qingshan."
When Ping Jian and Cheng Yan heard about Mu Qingshan's family, they were both surprised.Even though they are authentic spiritual cultivators and the largest sect in the eastern sea area, they still cannot underestimate the Muqingshan Lin family.

He Yutang continued: "There should be another person who was attacked with Lin Chaofu, but the whereabouts of this person are unknown, and we don't know who it is."
Ping Jian's face was slightly condensed: "The brothers of the Zhan family are well-known hunters in the demon realm, and the Muqingshan Lin family is the strongest hunter family. Could it be that the missing person is Zhan Qingyu?"
"The disciple thinks it should be Zhan Qingyu." He Yutang said.

"Zhan Qingyu called people from the Lin family to help deal with Li Wan, but he was killed halfway before they arrived." Ping Jian said silently.

"It's probably like this." He Yutang said.

"That Lin Chaofu's realm must not be low. If he dares to attack two people at the same time and succeeds in one blow, even if everything is well prepared, he will still need three or four Xuanhu intermediate ranks." Ping Jian said.

He Yutang also nodded and said: "The two did not live in the same room, they were attacked separately, and it was even more difficult to attack."
Ping Jian fell silent, he was wondering who attacked Zhan Qingyu and Lin Chaofu.

He Yutang stood silently, waiting for Master's order.

Cheng Yan also remained silent. Although he didn't know much about the matter, he also knew that the matter was getting more and more complicated.

Ping Jian suddenly said to He Yutang: "Who do you think attacked the two of them?"
