Seeking Immortality

"Killed by a loose cultivator named Xu Fan in the Southern Wilderness."

As "Hong" finished speaking, the man in black robe became silent again, but the black mist surrounding his body was constantly churning. Although it was silent, there seemed to be wild beasts roaring inside. So frightening.

"Zhong Ming, you are the only Mahayana master in the Zhong family besides me and the third child. Although you don't have the blood of my Zhong family, I also value you. Joining the Hades organization has many personal benefits. I have Zhong. There is no danger in having the family support. Many people from the Zhong family wanted to go, but I still sent you. At that time, you were only in the Jindan stage. It was because of the benefits of Ming that you became a Mahayana person, right? "

After a long time, the black mist outside the black-robed body finally returned to stability, and at the same time, the old and hoarse voice sounded again.

Zhong Ming is the name of "Hong". Originally, "Hong" did not have the surname "Zhong", but after joining the Zhong family, his surname was changed to Zhong.

"yes."

"Hong" replied hurriedly. "Hong" knew that there was no need for him to say any words of gratitude at this time, and this man in black robe was by no means someone who cared about gratitude.

After hearing "Hong"'s return, the man in black robe finally slowly turned his head to "Hong" who was lying on the ground. In the black mist under the hood, two rays of blood flashed away.

"You were raised by my Zhong family. Our Zhong family has never treated you unfairly because you are not a direct descendant. Instead, we have tried our best to cultivate you. Your current cultivation status is all given to you by my Zhong family. I Isn’t that too much to say?”

"Not too much."

Hearing what the man in black robe said, "Hong" hurriedly said.

But the man in black robe changed the topic, his tone was full of coldness, and he said slowly: "But, you failed everything I asked you to do, and there was no news about the sacred objects. Little Thirteen was killed by an unknown monk, do you think you are worthy of being cultivated by the Zhong family? "

"Hong" knew that his life and death depended on the next moment, but he no longer buried his head. Instead, he straightened up and suppressed the panic in his heart. He said in a deep voice: "Disciple has not done well with our ancestors." The matter is a fact. The disciple did not understand the explanation at all. He fully accepted how the ancestor punished the disciple, but he still asked the ancestor to give the disciple some time to find the lost sacred object and give it to Xiao Shisan. Take revenge, otherwise this disciple will die in peace.”

Although he knew that "Hong" was actually asking for his forgiveness when he said this, the man in black robe still hesitated. Isn't it a pity to kill "Hong" like this? Although "Hong" is useless, he is still a master in the Mahayana period after all, which will also be helpful to the Zhong family's comeback in the future.

After a long time, the man in black robe sighed quietly and said slowly: "If you had used all your thoughts on dealing with me on serious matters, you wouldn't have to go to such trouble now."

Hearing what the man in black robe said, "Hong" knew that he had temporarily saved his life. He was overjoyed, but he didn't say anything more, just silently kowtowed to the man in black robe.

Everyone in the world thinks that all the masters in the Mahayana period are superior, but they don’t know that the strength of the masters in the Mahayana period is very different. Not to mention that the Mahayana period is also divided into the Zhengyuan Ying stage, the foundation stage and the elixir formation stage. There are three different realms: the out-of-body stage and the distraction stage. Even fellow practitioners who are masters in the Mahayana stage have very different abilities due to different skills and different levels of understanding and integration of the way of heaven.

And "Hong" is just a junior Mahayana master who is still lingering in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. But this man in black robes is already the top among the Mahayana masters like "Tian", "Earth", "Xuan", "Huang" and others. The gap between the two is even greater than that between the monks in the spiritual silence stage and the middle stage of Qi refining. the gap between. One word can determine the life or death of "Hong". Otherwise, even if "Hong" was still below the disciples and grandchildren of the black-robed man, how could he be so awe-inspiring for the black-robed man.

Seemingly satisfied with his attitude, the man in black robe was silent for a long time and then said slowly: "Stand up."

"Hong" silently kowtowed to the man in black robe again, and then he dared to stand up, still standing respectfully with his hands lowered and his head lowered.

"Little Thirteen must take revenge, but your main energy must be focused on finding the sacred objects of the clan and the whereabouts of the sacred objects. Do you have any ideas?"

"Hong" had already regained his composure at this time. Slowly said: "This matter is very strange. Ming originally thought that the sudden destruction of the treasure pavilion was caused by the people of the Righteous Alliance. Because when the treasure pavilions were destroyed or disappeared, there were people near each treasure pavilion. There are traces of the activities of the monks of the Righteous Alliance, but according to the news from the insiders of the Righteous Alliance, the Righteous Alliance did not take action. It was just a test of the treasure pavilion that day. Instead, they saw purple clothes wearing the clothes of the Hades organization. People besieged the Treasure Pavilion, thinking it was Ming who was taking action."

"Hong"'s task in the "Ming" organization is to manage the inside lines of various sects and collect intelligence. When the two elders of "Tian" and "Earth" gave him this task, they also wanted to give the Zhong family face, allowing "Hong" to take the opportunity to find Zhong. Household relics.

"What do you think about this?" The man in black robe was surprised when he heard "Hong" say this, and asked after thinking for a moment.

"Hong" hesitated for a while and finally said: "This disciple has a guess in his mind, but he is not sure."

"explain!"

"The owner of the treasure pavilion was originally Huang's subordinate, and Huang's thoughts have always been hard to figure out. As for the person who has the ability to destroy the treasure pavilion in half a day without letting the good and evil find out, I think that apart from the Ming and the Righteous Alliance, and the three sects and families that have been in seclusion for many years like our clan, there is only Huang. And the only one who has the motive to do so is Huang. And the sacred object of our clan may have fallen into Huang's hands."

Hearing what "Hong" said, the black-robed man who had been standing still was obviously stunned. Although "Hong" could not see the expression of the black-robed man under the black fog, he could imagine that the black-robed man must be frowning at this time.

Even for the black-robed man, "Huang" is an extremely troublesome existence. It takes great caution and scruples to deal with him, especially after it is said that "Huang" has successfully practiced his perverted *. Even the black-robed man is not sure that he can defeat "Huang".

And just as "Hong" said, no one can see through "Huang's" thoughts, and the black-robed man is not sure whether "Huang" will return the holy object to the Zhong family if he gets it, or whether he will treat it as a useless decoration.

"Have you told Tiandi and Tiandi about this?" asked the black-robed man.

"Hong" hurriedly shook his head and said, "You said that Tiandi and Tiandi are not interested in this. You may conceal unimportant things, but you must not provoke Huang, so I concealed this matter."

Hearing what "Hong" said, the black-robed man seemed to be slightly relieved and said lightly: "It's good that there is still room for maneuver. You didn't do anything wrong in this matter."

At this point, "Hong" was about to respond, but he saw the black-robed man suddenly move his body and turn to look to the east.

Then, an evil voice suddenly sounded between heaven and earth.

"So the senior actually thinks highly of me. I am really honored."

As he spoke, the space where the black-robed man was looking at fluctuated, and then Zhang Xusheng suddenly appeared in front of everyone, with a half-smile on his face, and bowed slightly to the black-robed man.

The black-robed man also bowed slightly in return like Zhang Xusheng.

After the ceremony, Zhang Xusheng turned his eyes to "Hong" on the side, and said with a smile: "Originally, I was thinking about how to get rid of you without being discovered by Senior Zhong Kui, but now it seems that I have saved some trouble."

When Zhang Xusheng said this, he did not care about the black-robed man on the side.

Looking at Zhang Xusheng's deep and evil eyes and listening to Zhang Xusheng's leisurely words, "Hong"'s body trembled. To "Hong", Zhang Xusheng's terrifyingness was not much worse than that of the black-robed man.

It was not until a long time later that "Hong" realized that the name of the ancestor was Zhong Kui, which confirmed his original guess. The man in black robe was indeed the son of Zhong Ling, the founder of the Zhong family. In this way, Zhong Kui was already three thousand years old.

On the other hand, Zhong Kui did not care about Zhang Xusheng's threat to "Hong", but just said slowly: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, why are you here?"

Zhang Xusheng sighed, and seemed to have a bitter smile on his face, saying: "There is no way, I was born to work hard. I just went to Beibing to kill the owner of the treasure pavilion, and was blocked at the door of my house. I was dragged here to pay off my debt. When I passed by here just now, I saw that it was quite lively here, so I came here to reminisce with the seniors and be lazy by the way."

Zhang Xusheng's words were as if he was not a master of the generation, a rare figure in the world, but just an ordinary arrogant teenager in the mortal world, but it was extremely natural when spoken by Zhang Xusheng.

He is arrogant, elegant, devilish, and a messenger of God. Zhang Xusheng seems to be born to be unpredictable.

The black-robed man did not mention the sacred objects of the clan, but still asked in the gloomy and slow tone unique to the Zhong family: "I wonder who can block Zhang Daoyou outside the door?"

"It's Xuan." Zhang Xusheng sighed: "I owe him five swords, but now I have only returned four. There is still one sword, but he thought I embezzled it and was unwilling to give it to him, so he had to drag me to find witnesses and clues."

While speaking, two "purple-clothed men" suddenly appeared on the scene. One of the purple-clothed men wore a ring engraved with the word "Xuan". It was "Xuan" who ranked higher than "Huang" in the "Ming" organization.

The other purple-clothed man was held in the hand of "Xuan" and seemed to be unconscious, but it was "Zhang Yi" who had met Xu Qingfan once and was looking for Xu Qingfan everywhere! !
