The hand of another world covers the sky

Chapter 548 Meeting in the Cave

When Lu Jing reached the key point in a sentence, he stopped abruptly. In the firelight, two twinkling eyes carefully glanced back and forth on Qingyuan's face.

"Lu Jing, what did you say?"

Qingyuan asked repeatedly, as if he didn't understand what Lu Jing said for a while.

Lu Jing strengthened his courage and said urgently:
"Master, forgive me for your boldness! The master has been in charge of the Xuantian Sect for nearly a hundred years. Could it be... that he really had the heart to hand over this thousand-year-old sect to someone like Hou Wuji, a young boy like you? ? Right now, the Piaomiao clan has reappeared on the Greedy Wolf Star and intervened in the disputes in the Star Continent. Maybe we can secretly connect with them, and maybe in the future..."

"Shut up!"

In the dark cave, there was a loud scolding sound suddenly, which almost made Lu Jing jump up.

"The tragedy of the ten elders of the Xuantian Sect is just around the corner. Lu Jing, don't you think you should take it as a warning?"

Lu Jing argued:
"Master, you are also one of the top powerhouses on Star Continent, why are you so afraid of Hou Wuji, Mo Chen and the other ten elders? They bet on the wrong treasure and entrusted their hopes to Jia Chengxian and Lin Aotian, two incompetent people. , This is absolutely different from the Piao Miao Clan, descendants of the ancient human powerhouse! Master! A mere envoy from the Piao Miao Clan is enough to make Hou Wuji helpless! Such a god-given opportunity, do not I will miss it! I hope the head of the sect will think twice, for the sake of the great cause of the sect..."

Lu Jingwai wanted to continue talking, but Qingyuan had already waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to persuade him anymore.

After a long time, Qingyuan sighed slowly and said:

"Lu Jing, it is naturally obligatory to protect the honor of the sect, but the strong in the world are like a forest, the fittest survive, and the weak are eliminated. Even if we regain control of Xuantianzong, so what! Why do all the warriors in the Star Continent try their best? Supporting Hou Wuji is what the hearts of the people want. We want to take back the Xuantian Sect, but the disciples in the sect are not necessarily convinced. Besides, there is a powerful family like the Piao Miao family who interferes with the affairs of the Star Continent. In charge of the Xuantian Sect, can you and I compete with the people of the Piao Miao clan? If so, it is better to hand the Xuantian Sect to Hou Wuji to lead, or the future will be better."

Hearing what Suzerain Qingyuan said, Lu Jing also sighed, shook his head and said:
"I just feel sorry for the senior master of Xuantianzong, who managed to create such a foundation, but within a short year, it was handed over to someone with a foreign surname..."

Qingyuan said:
"Lu Jing, compared with the fate of all human fighters on Greedy Wolf, the orthodoxy of the master of Xuantian Sect is not worth mentioning. Although Hou Wuji is not an inner sect of Xuantian Sect, he is still a warrior of ours after all. It's better than falling into the hands of alien monsters. Xuantianzong has degenerated a lot after thousands of years of peace, and the decline is doomed by heaven, so you and I don't have to force it!"

"In that case, the subordinates know!"

Seeing that Qingyuan had made up his mind, Lu Jing didn't say much anymore, he said slowly, but added:
"Master, the position of the sect can be ignored for the sake of the overall situation, but... well, Mo Chen and the tenth elder, and the sect master are brothers of the same sect after all, so how can the sect master... how can he be with someone who has a grudge against the sect master?" People who live together are on the same mountain!"

After Lu Jing finished speaking, Qingyuan closed his eyes heavily, fell into deep thought, and muttered to himself:
"Yeah... I am Qingyuan, how can I live with a person who has a blood feud with the teacher..."

Lu Jing stood on the sidelines for a while, Qingyuan just didn't make a sound, and when he greeted softly again, Qingyuan waved a wide sleeve in the direction of the cave entrance wearily, implying that he was extremely tired , I don't want to say any more.Lu Jing understood in his heart, bowed to Qingyuan, and said:
"Then this subordinate is resigning! By the way, when Hou Wuji came to the alchemy room to refine the star core obtained from the Broken Star Sect today, he informed his subordinates that he would come to see the suzerain tomorrow. Therefore, this subordinate specially came to discuss with the sect in advance. , I don’t know what Hou Wuji’s heart is, but I hope the suzerain will act cautiously and take precautions early.”

Qingyuan smiled wryly and said:
"After the defeat of nothingness, Hou Wuji will definitely come to me. It's only a matter of time, and it's already in my expectation. Now that the entire Tongtian Peak is in his palm, I have nothing to guard against... ...Lu Jing, you go back. Be careful on the way, don't let other disciples find the trace, so as not to arouse suspicion."

"Yes! Don't worry, the head. The subordinates have been extra careful when they came all the way to ensure that no one will find out."

Lu Jing bowed his head and finished speaking.There was no reply for a long time, and when I looked up, Qingyuan's figure had disappeared without a trace.

"Subordinates retire!"

Facing the empty cave, Lu Jing said softly.Holding the torch in his hand, he returned to the direction of the cave entrance.

Outside the cave, Lu Jing quickly extinguished the torch in his hand.Then he covered the hole well, and exercised his palms to wipe away all the footprints left by him in front of the hole one by one. After tidying up everything as before, he strode towards the alchemy room of Xuantianzong. Run away.

Early in the morning of the second day, Hou Wuji came to the alchemy room of the inner sect of Xuantian Sect early as agreed.Lu Jing had already been waiting at the door of Danfang for a long time.But seeing that Hou Wuji came here alone without any entourage, he knew in his heart that this trip Hou Wuji planned to meet Qingyuan alone.Seeing that his expression is calm, he doesn't seem to have the slightest murderous intent, so I feel relieved.

Lu Jing led Hou Wuji towards a rugged trail in the back mountain.Lu Jing walked in front, and Hou Wuji followed steadily.

On the way, the voice of the nine-tailed fox suddenly sounded in Hou Wuji's mind.

"Master, yesterday you were refining the star core in front of the eight-legged furnace. At the most critical moment, that Lu Jing suddenly approached. He clearly seemed to have some evil intentions to take advantage of others' danger. You must guard against this person!"

Hou Wuji sneered and said:
"Don't worry! I've known about this for a long time. It's just that the Xuantian Sect Pill Room is still useful to me, and Lu Jing is still useful. I don't need to expose him!"

The nine-tailed fox said again with the soul sound transmission technique:
"The master asked him to lead the way, isn't he afraid of any danger!"

Hou Wuji laughed and said:
"He's already taken him all the way. I already understand Lu Jing's thoughts. Forgive him for not doing anything out of the ordinary. Don't worry!"

Lu Jing and Hou Wuji walked along the back mountain for half an hour, and when they came to the entrance of the cave the night before, Lu Jing stopped, pretending to be hesitant, and said:
"My lord, it seems that... this is the place. The old man is old and his memory is not very good. Besides, the suzerain naturally does not want to be disturbed easily by others, and the old man has not been here for a long time, so I don't know if the place is right or not."

Hou Wuji laughed and said:
"Thank you, Senior Lu! However, I, Hou Wuji, trust Senior Lu very much. If not, I wouldn't have refined that star core in front of Senior Lu, and summoned the nine-tailed spirit fox in my body to lean on! "

"That is, that is!"

Lu Jing nodded hurriedly.

Hou Wuji took the torch from his hand and said loudly:
"Okay! Now that the destination has been reached, I won't bother the senior anymore, and the junior will meet with the Qingyuan suzerain on his own!"

After all, he strode forward and struck out with a slap of the palm. Suddenly, a strong wind of the palm rose up, completely shaking off the huge stones and debris around the hidden cave, revealing a narrow and deep cave.Lu Jing was so shocked that his face was extremely embarrassed.

Hou Wuji stepped forward and stepped into the cave in a flash.Lu Jing stood dumbfounded at the entrance of the cave, momentarily at a loss.

"My lord...you...you really don't need the old man to lead the way?"

Hou Wuji stopped and said slowly:
"No need! You go back! I have some private matters to discuss with Qingyuan Sect Master, so it is inconvenient for Senior Lu to come with you."

Lu Jing was taken aback. He only said that Hou Wuji told him to go with him to see Qingyuan together. He was still thinking in his heart that when the critical moment came, if necessary, he could interject a few words, or give Qingyuan envoy They winked a few times, but unexpectedly, Hou Wuji came to the entrance of the cave and refused to allow himself to go with him again.Immediately said urgently:

"This... how can this be done! The old man will stay outside the cave and wait for the venerable. When the time comes, the venerable has finished talking with the Qingyuan suzerain, and when he returns, the old man can lead the way again!"

Hou Wuji thought for a moment and said:

"Okay! Since Senior Lu is so polite, it's time for me!"

After all, without looking back, he strode towards the cave.

Hou Wuji lit the torch, and immediately, the yellow flame gradually illuminated everything in the cool and dry cave.

Obviously, this stone cave is as old as the history of the entire Tongtian Peak or Xuantianzong. On the stone walls of the cave, there are many formulas and mental methods that record the practice of exercises. These are all ancient Xuantianzong. For the ordinary disciples in the sect, what the elders and suzerains said during this retreat is a great secret, but now, with Hou Wuji making the secret books obtained from the God of War cemetery public, they will not Appears so valuable again.

Hou Wuji brought the torch closer to the stone wall, carefully looked at the strokes on it, and searched for the information he needed in the ancient times thousands of years ago from between the lines.While searching and walking, he had reached the depths of the cave before he knew it.

At this time, an old voice slowly entered Hou Wuji's ears.

"What are you looking for? Hou Wuji."

Hou Wuji turned his face, and by the light of the fire, he saw Qingyuan, dressed in white, standing quietly on a high platform in the cave, looking at himself.The face that used to be a bit fat is now a lot thinner, looking abnormally haggard.

Hou Wuji cupped his hands towards Qingyuan and said:
"Sect Master Qingyuan, long time no see, don't you come here all right?"

Qingyuan smiled wryly and said:
"The old man is fine, but the dear ones of the old man..."

Hou Wuji was stunned for a moment, knowing that he was talking about the death of Mo Chen and the ten elders of Xuantianzong by his hands.I immediately understood in my heart that because of this incident, Qingyuan was hit hard, and even people were weaker. With his cultivation level, he mentioned this incident as soon as he saw him. It can be seen that it is really hard to suppress the grief and indignation .

However, Hou Wuji still doesn't want to fight Qingyuan to the death as soon as they meet, and even his purpose of coming here is far from being to fight.

Hou Wuji bowed to Qingyuan and said apologetically:

"I am very sorry for hurting Mo Chen and his juniors. However, there are rules in the Jianghu, and the sect also has its laws. Mo Chen and those elders who defected are determined to fight with me, Hou Wuji. To oppose, to oppose the entire Xuantianzong, and to collude with such heinous people as Jia Chengxian, I have no choice but to take action! If I don’t get rid of these people and clean up the house, they will definitely kill me! Qingyuan Sovereign, you are in the world In the past hundred years, the truth of this, needless to say, should be clear!"

Qingyuan stared at Hou Wuji coldly, and said calmly:
"Truth and sect law are the same thing, but life and death depend entirely on the strength of the strong! Hou Wuji, I shouldn't have intervened in the grievances between you and Mo Chen and others, but they all intend to be me. Brother of the same sect, as the leader of the four major sects on the Star Continent, why can’t you be forgiving and forgiving!"

Hou Wuji smiled lightly, dismissing Qingyuan's calm attitude.

"Tell me! Why did you come to see this old man?"

"Come to ask some questions, and borrow something by the way!" Hou Wuji cut to the point and said loudly.
