In the 18th floor of the Fire Realm of Hidden Sword Thatched Cottage, more than 20 Lianzhou Alliance warriors have been imprisoned by Lin Bai. If Lin Bai has not released them within three months, then they can only stay in the Fire Realm. was refined into ashes.

Lin Bai was still sitting in the pavilion reading, as if none of this had happened.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Senior Brother Su Yue was still sitting in the Lianzhou League, but there was always a layer of gloom on his face: "Brothers Zhang, Li, and Zhao went to the Sword Hidden Cottage. Haven’t you come back yet?”

The names of those people Su Yue just mentioned were clearly the warriors who were imprisoned in the Fire Realm by Lin Bai.

"Yes, they didn't come back after going to Hidden Sword Thatched Cottage. We thought they went to Qilin Town to look for flowers and willows, but I went to the alley where several senior brothers in Qilin Town frequented. A girl there said that they had never come back in the past few days. I haven’t seen many senior brothers go there.”

A confidant who was following Su Yue whispered with an ugly face: "Brother, where do you think these senior brothers will go?"

Su Yue's face darkened: "Where else can we go? They probably all died in the Hidden Sword Thatched Cottage."

"What! Senior brother means... those senior brothers Qingluo killed?" This close disciple asked in surprise.

Su Yue said solemnly: "The Hidden Sword Thatched Cottage is a practice dojo given to Qingluo by the sect. It belongs entirely to Qingluo's territory. If he executes someone in his dojo, not even the sect has the right to interfere. , Besides, those junior brothers still broke into the Hidden Sword Thatched Cottage without permission, so even if Qingluo kills him, it’s still reasonable, and even if we report it to the sect, the sect probably won’t take care of it!”

A close disciple asked in surprise: "Then what should we do now, Senior Brother Su Yue?"

Su Yue shook his head and said: "There is no other way. No wonder the Hengzhou Alliance would entrust this matter to me. Even the Hengzhou Alliance itself can't chew such a difficult bone, so it was left to me. Forget it. Well, let’s report back to the Hengzhou Alliance truthfully.”

"Then please ask the protector to go to Hidden Sword Thatched Cottage to find out if those senior brothers are still alive."

…

Hengzhou League, in the meeting hall.

Deputy leader Wu is sitting on the throne, surrounded by all the major protectors of the Hengzhou Alliance.

"Deputy Leader Wu, Su Yue has sent a message, saying that he has tried his best, but there is nothing he can do. The Lianzhou Alliance warriors sent to the Tibetan Sword Cottage are still missing. His implication seems to be that he is giving up."

A protector stood up and informed Deputy Leader Wu of Su Yue's news.

"Hmph, I've known for a long time that Su Yue is strong on the outside and weak on the inside, and cannot be reused, but I didn't expect that he was defeated so completely that he couldn't even deal with a Taoist warrior." Vice leader Wu snorted coldly: "I didn't expect him to succeed. , since he wants to give up, let’s give up.”

A guardian asked curiously: "Since Deputy Leader Wu has already guessed that Su Yue will fail, why did he let Su Yue take action?"

"There are two reasons." Deputy Alliance Leader Wu said: "First, I wanted to use Su Yue and Qing Luo to cause internal fighting within their Lianzhou Alliance, but obviously Alliance Leader Zhang is not an ordinary person and did not fall into the trap. Apparently, Su Yue has been beaten."

"Secondly, this is just an appetizer. I just want Qingluo to know that if he doesn't hand over the Sun-Moon Divine Flower and Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Milk, his sword-hiding thatched cottage will not be peaceful."

"Now that Su Yue has given up, it's time for us to take action."

"How are things prepared in Shanzhou?"

Deputy leader Wu suddenly asked a protector.

"It's all ready, just waiting for our order." The protector nodded and said.

The guardians in the audience were a little confused, looking left and right, and asked: "Deputy Leader Wu has another plan? Why not tell it and let us all listen?"

Vice leader Wu smiled and said: "As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy will lead to victory in any battle. I have already found out the warriors in the Hidden Sword Thatched Cottage. When Qingluo arrived at the Eternal Demon Sect, he only brought two people with him. An old man named Zhou Xi, it seems. They are Qing Luo's servants; there is also a young woman named Sun Yao, who seems to be Qing Luo's concubine."

"Some time ago, Zhou Xi and Sun Yao went on a trip with several other disciples of the Eternal Demon Sect. The place they went to was Shanzhou."

"Now the Shanzhou warriors are resisting the invasion of the demon clan. Shanzhou has asked the sect for help. They should go to practice and casually support Shanzhou."

"I have arranged for people to kill these two people to give Qing Luo some color and let him understand that the Sun and Moon Divine Flower and Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Milk are not treasures to him, but life-saving talismans. As long as these As long as the two treasures are still in his own hands, the Hidden Sword Thatched Cottage will never be at peace!"

"Now that Su Yue has given up, send an order to the people in Shanzhou to bring the heads of Zhou Xi and Sun Yao back and send them to the Hidden Sword Thatched Cottage."

…

A few days later, Lin Bai was sitting in the pavilion reading a book. It was extremely quiet these days. Su Yue did not send any warriors to disturb Lin Bai. He seemed to have given up.

The moon was high in the sky, Lin Bai was sitting in the pavilion under the moon, looking at the moon pool with the bright moonlight, Lin Bai was reading the classics in his hands carefully.

"Xun Yang's True Explanation of Cultivation in the Taoist Immortal Realm... This is indeed a good book..."

Suddenly, at this moment, a vague old man's voice echoed in the pavilion.

Lin Bai's eyes flashed suddenly, and he hurriedly operated the 300 billion star formation. At the same time, he was greatly surprised. How could he not notice someone appearing around the pavilion?

The breeze blew by, and a figure appeared outside the pavilion, holding a cane and covering his mouth and nose. There was a slight cough: "Millions of years ago, Xun Yang once cultivated to the realm of Taiyi Daoguo. At that time, he was also a member of the Eternal Demon Sect. The all-powerful ancestor, but unfortunately, in the end, he failed to break through the way of heaven, and after living for a hundred thousand years, he had no choice but to die."

Lin Bai put away the classics, clasped his fists and said, "Qing Luo pays homage to the senior. May I ask where the senior comes from? Why does he appear here?"

"I come from the Lianzhou Alliance. I have long forgotten my name. I only remember that my surname is Zhang. Both senior elders and low-level disciples in the Eternal Demon Sect call me Alliance Leader Zhang." The old man smiled lightly and said: " The current leader of the Eternal Demon Sect is my fellow junior, the First Elder of the Elder Pavilion has a life-and-death relationship with me, and the Second Elder has a good marriage relationship with me..."

Lin Bai's eyes trembled, and he didn't need to think too much to understand that the person coming was probably the current leader of the Lianzhou Alliance.

Regarding Alliance Leader Zhang, Lin Bai learned a lot of information from Li Yumen and Qin Yuyan. Both of them had special respect for Alliance Leader Zhang, especially Qin Yuyan once said to Lin Bai, "Lianzhou The reason why the alliance can still stand firm in the face of the encirclement and suppression by the Twelve States Alliance is because of the existence of Alliance Leader Zhang, who is the strongest Taoist realm warrior in the Eternal Demon Sect today."
