Chapter 199 Preparations before departure
Chapter 199 Preparations before departure
After a long while, Xu Zhuo finally spoke and asked Chen Xiu below.
"What clues can be found in the base? Can the location in the video be analyzed?"
Chen Xiu shook his head: "I haven't found anything yet."
Master Lin Feng interrupted: "Have you heard any news from other families? Have their disciples been arrested as well?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiu took out another stack of letters.
"A small number of sects and families, including Hanshan Temple and Yuehua Palace, have had disciples go missing in the past two days, and they have all found stone images with similar contents."
"Other sects were attacked by the black-robed men, and their elite disciples were captured."
"I have compiled the information, and they all require that they reach the Shangguan family within three days. Otherwise, the captured disciples will be slaughtered directly."
Master Ning of Shisha Peak was a rough and rude man with a bad temper. He couldn't help but slap the coffee table next to him and broke it, and cursed in a rough voice.
"This is simply too much! In this case, let's all go out and kill those black-robed men directly. Let's see how they can stir up trouble again."
Mu Chen glared at him disapprovingly and said slowly, "That black-robed man came prepared. How could he not be prepared to challenge the headmaster openly?"
"Besides, if everyone goes out, what will happen to Cang Qiong Mountain? Do you also want Cang Qiong Mountain to be the same as Bai Yue Pavilion?"
"We did not fail to anticipate this situation. Let's contact other sects and go meet them."
After hearing what he said, everyone calmed down a lot and nodded, listening to what he said.
Master Lin Feng rolled his eyes and said to Xu Zhuo, "Brother, take me with you this time, so that I can meet these guys who are neither human nor ghost."
"No matter how many tricks they use, I can kill them all with one sword."
Xu Zhuo chuckled and agreed readily, "If you want to help, you can."
After saying that, he stopped paying attention to him and started discussing specific countermeasures with everyone.
When Master Lin Feng saw that he agreed, he was happy. Since he was out of the sect to do business, there was no reason for the ancestors to capture him for special training, right?
He was simply too smart. He secretly glanced at his silly senior brothers and sisters who had not thought of all this at all. Master Lin Feng was secretly proud in his heart, and decided to keep this good thing to himself and not tell these guys.
The matter was discussed for a whole day, and finally the elder who would lead the team was determined. Chen Xiu was asked to go down and inform the disciples who were preparing to go, which naturally included how to ensure stability in the rear after everyone left.
Because the man in black robe only gave them three days, and Cangqiong Mountain was still some distance away from the Shangguan family, the large group could only use the sect's large flying boats, which were not fast, so they planned to set off the next morning.
When Chen Xiu had almost dealt with things, Xu Zhuo took him to the back mountain to explain some details to Sang Yunqi and inform him of the time of departure tomorrow.
After talking about the whole thing, Chen Xiu asked about Chu Xinglan. Sang Yunqi sensed it and pointed to the room where Chu Xinglan was.
"He is in the house, go find him."
Chu Xinglan said he was in seclusion, but he did not immerse himself in cultivation for all twelve hours a day. He would take some time every night to look up information.
Compared to the beginning, there are many more books and bamboo slips on the floor of this room. He moved them from Sang Yunqi's library, just to verify the authenticity of the method Xuan Ling said.
He still hoped that there could be a proper way to resolve the issue. Currently, he couldn't let go of his shame and directly asked his master about dual cultivation.
So when Chen Xiu came in, he saw him buried in a sea of books, flipping through them carefully, and occasionally stopping to take notes.
"Did I bother you?"
A sound suddenly exploded in Chu Xinglan's ears. He was startled and looked up to find that it was Chen Xiu standing at the door, looking at him with a smile.
He glanced around the room and realized that the floor was filled with things, leaving no place to stand.
He hurriedly cleaned up a place and then greeted Chen Xiu embarrassedly.
"Come in and sit down. Has the man in black robe taken action?"
Chen Xiu also sat casually on the ground like him, looking around the room and said with emotion.
"The ancestors really dote on you."
Chu Xinglan chuckled twice, took out tea sets and spiritual fruits from the bell and handed them to him. Then he lifted the animal skin on the bed as if presenting a treasure and patted his beloved big bed.
"check it out."
Ever since Xu Zhuo intended to let Chen Xiu take over as the head of the sect, he had also been to the treasure house of Cangqiong Mountain and seen the world.
But when he suddenly saw this magnificent big bed, he couldn't help but gasp and spoke with a trembling voice.
"All of them are top-grade spirit stones? A whole piece?"
Chu Xinglan nodded proudly, "My master even carved a formation on it, which has greatly increased my cultivation speed. Look, I have made a lot of progress in the past few days."
Chen Xiu's eyes were glued to the big bed, and his hands couldn't help but touch it all over.
"With this quality, our ancestors have dug out the core of a top-quality mineral vein. If this piece is taken away, the entire mineral vein will be ruined."
Chu Xinglan looked at Chen Xiu's envious expression and generously made way for him: "Do you want to go up and try?"
Chen Xiu became eager to try it after hearing this. Just thinking about it would make him feel great, but he had been suppressing his cultivation level. If he really tried, he would be afraid that he would not be able to suppress such a strong spiritual power impact.
So, he regretfully refused and started talking about business with Chu Xinglan.
After hearing this, Chu Xinglan was prepared.
"Okay, I will go with Master tomorrow morning. How many disciples are we going with this time?"
"There are all the people in the sect who have reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core, plus a small number of powerful people in the late Golden Core stage. There are a total of seventy-six people, plus you and me."
After thinking for a while, Chen Xiu whispered again.
"There are still a few Yuanying-stage disciples whose cultivation levels were concealed by the Sect Master and his men. They are mixed among us, so we can keep them as a backup."
Chu Xinglan frowned upon hearing this: "Isn't it true that only Jindan-stage cultivators can enter the Shangguan family's secret realm? Won't they be exposed?"
Chen Xiu shook his head: "You can think of this method as a seal. If something unexpected really happens in the secret realm, they will not care about the secret realm's suppression. They will unlock the seal and restore their strength."
Chu Xinglan had an idea in mind. If the seal was really broken using this method, even if these guys survived, they wouldn't get any benefit.
But there was a reason why Xu Zhuo and the others made such arrangements, and he would just have to follow Chen Xiu's arrangements when the time comes.
The two chatted about the detailed arrangements for a while, and Chen Xiu was about to leave.
Chu Xinglan sent him out the door, and seeing him looking back at his stone bed reluctantly, he chuckled.
"When this matter is over, come over if you need anything."
