The early morning sunlight cuts through the mountains and rivers of the earth and passes over the outer city. Disciples are constantly flying in and out, busy and depressing.
Inside a mansion.
Chen Xuanjin's Nascent Soul was suspended in the lobby. He lowered his head and was very nervous.
In front of him, there was a man sitting on the first seat. He was wearing a black robe with dragon patterns. His face was young and handsome, but the majesty emanating from his eyebrows gave him a sense of oppression that was inconsistent with his appearance. His long hair was entangled in a silver crown with unicorn carvings.
Next, he had a domineering air just sitting there.
"Your brother was killed by the demon cultivator of Qianqiu Pavilion, and now you have been seriously injured by Feiye Sword Immortal. Do you think Zuo Yijian's master is related to Qianqiu Pavilion?" The man in black robe said slowly.
His tone was calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
Chen Xuanjin quickly raised his head and said: "We cannot rule out this possibility. It is not uncommon for Qianqiu Pavilion to place a master in Taixuanmen. Didn't you say before that there must be a Qianqiu Pavilion in the upper echelon of the Taixuan Gate? Didn't you just jump out now?"
If he offends Zuo Yijian, he will inevitably be in trouble. If he can bring down the backer behind Zuo Yijian, then Chen Xuanjin will not be afraid of Zuo Yijian.
The man in black robe narrowed his eyes and landed on Chen Xuanjin, who was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head.
The lobby fell into silence again.
for a long time.
The man in black robe said in a faint tone: "Get ready to form an array. It just so happened that the demon cultivators were in trouble recently. After this incident, the blame can be placed on Qianqiu Pavilion's head."
Chen Xuanjin said quickly: "But in my current state, I'm afraid..."
"This time I will bear it myself."
"What? No, it's not yet certain whether this function will be successful. The Taoist Sect is also waiting for us to try it."
"Nothing is guaranteed to succeed. The road to immortality is to walk on a thorny road. This plan has been planned for a hundred years. Taixuan Sect must implement it. We cannot let people in the dark destroy our plan. There is no need to persuade you.
"
Hearing this, Chen Xuanjin could only suppress his worries and accept the matter.
The other side.
Xuan Valley.
Gu An called the disciples to practice. The movement last night made the disciples restless all night, so they talked in twos and threes.
Tang Yu asked: "Master, why are you back so soon?"
The others followed and looked at Gu An.
Gu An hummed: "Didn't you feel the movement last night? I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I hurried back."
As soon as these words came out, all the disciples felt ashamed, feeling that they were too weak and always worried about their master.
Xiaochuan said worriedly: "Senior brother, how about you go to the inner gate of Medicine Valley? We can disband and go to the outer gate to find a way out, so that you can be safe."
It's not that he's afraid of death, he just doesn't want Gu An to work too hard.
Gu An is already at the foundation building level, and his future is not comparable to theirs, so why should he always be frightened for them?
Gu An said: "If you want to go to the outer city, I can let you go, but I have to remind you that the outer gate may not be as safe as Xuangu, because there are always disciples missing in the city. I am not threatening or hinting at you, no matter what
I respect whatever you choose, and I can't force you to stay according to my own wishes. Whether you leave or not, the love in Xuangu will still exist."
He spoke from the bottom of his heart.
In his pursuit of immortality, he will inevitably experience life, separation, and death in the future. He has already made psychological preparations and does not care about the fate of others.
Unless someone really makes him unable to let go, he will do whatever he wants.
After hearing his words, the disciples were silent. You looked at me, and I looked at you.
Wu Xin wanted to speak but stopped, but still held it back.
"What are you going to do? If you go to work as a handyman disciple elsewhere, can you make elixirs for us like Master? Xuangu doesn't need so many handyman disciples at all, but Master still hired us, and the salary has not been reduced. We can't be ungrateful!
"
Tang Yu was the first to say that what he regrets most now is that when Qiu Qianli started the rebellion, he did not rush to the front like Su Han did.
Once upon a time, Su Han had to chase him, but now Su Han has established a foundation, and he still doesn't know whether he can build a foundation in this life. This gap started from that calamity at that time.
Tang Yu didn't resent Gu An, only felt ashamed. He vowed to perform well and regain Gu An's favor.
As soon as he opened his mouth, other disciples responded one after another, and the atmosphere became lively and no longer as oppressive as before.
Gu An smiled and then asked his disciples to continue practicing.
Ye Lan came as soon as they finished practicing. After making sure that Gu An was safe, she didn't stay too long and left quickly.
Gu An stood in front of the window and looked towards the outer gate of the city.
There are still great monks flying in the sky from time to time, but the number is not as numerous as last night.
Gu An's consciousness can easily span thousands of miles and spy on the outer city. This is far from the limit of his consciousness.
He saw that the construction of the huge formation was accelerating, and some disciples even began to carry spiritual stones. He watched silently, unable to tell what formation the formation was for the time being.
The sinking of spiritual energy caused Taixuanmen to fall into turmoil, and the tense atmosphere lasted for nearly ten days before relaxing.
Gu An was affected.
Several outer sect disciples wanted to move to the cave, which caused him to lose several channels for collecting lifespan. These outer sect disciples obviously wanted to escape from this outer sect city.
Gu An is not disappointed. He now has three medicine valleys, and his lifespan will only increase in the future. He is even planning to expand the third medicine valley.
He is now waiting for the outer sect matter to end as soon as possible. As long as it does not threaten his Xuangu and the few people he cares about, he is too lazy to interfere in the Taixuan Sect's conspiracy.
As Shen Zhen said, even the Daotian Sect, the first sect of the Dayu Dynasty, was doing this kind of thing. Why did he bother to intervene forcibly? He did not have such a strong sense of justice and wanted to save the suffering. There was so much suffering in the world, he thought.
Rescue, can it be completely rescued?
And this kind of thing is not easy to manage. If he forcibly destroys Taixuanmen's plan, and Taixuanmen encounters a catastrophe of demons afterwards and cannot survive, he will be the sinner of Taixuanmen, and everyone in Taixuanmen will blame him.
After all, except for the victims, everyone else is the beneficiary. The people he saves may also think that they would not have been sacrificed without his intervention, and thus blame him.
Gu An couldn't save one group of people and then save another group of people, always shouldering the mission of saving the common people. He was tired just thinking about it.
Time continues to pass.
On this day, Gu An came to Tianya Valley, first picked the mature herbs, and then led the three monkey demons to sow them.
Luo Hun came from behind and said: "A month ago, the spiritual energy of the earth was sinking. Many great monks of Taixuan Sect were patrolling everywhere. Some people even passed by Tianya Valley. What happened to Taixuan Sect?"
Gu An responded casually: "It seems that there is an invasion by a demonic cultivator. By the way, Li Ya was injured by a demonic cultivator before, and now he is recovering from his injuries in the inner sect."
When Luo Hun heard this, his brows furrowed, and he turned and left, walking all the way into the forest.
Later, Gu An's consciousness saw him casting a spell on some kind of talisman. After his spiritual power was poured into it, the talisman burned and quickly turned into ashes.
Gu An is already in the Fusion Realm, and he can keenly detect a trace of spiritual power belonging to Luo Hun as it escapes to the sky at an extremely fast speed.
It seems that Luo Hun is tipping off Li Xuandao.
Gu An didn't think much and continued sowing.
After sowing, he said a few words to the three monkey demons and then left Tianya Valley.
He cares more about the construction and development of Medicine Valley than those conspiracies, and focusing his energy on this is the right thing to do.
…
The sky is covered with clouds and the outer gate city is overcrowded.
Su Han and Zhen Qin stood in front of a stone tablet. Su Han read: "Mending the Sky."
Following Zhen Qin's gaze, in front of them was a huge formation that was more than ten miles long and wide. It was extremely spectacular. On the edge of the formation stood stone statues in different poses, all of which were images of ancient immortal gods.
In the center of the Butian Terrace stood a stone pillar, one hundred feet high, square in shape, with many dents on the surface, like the meridians of the human body, revealing mysterious signs.
"Senior brother, what is the use of this sky-mending platform? Why do the sect call all the outer disciples back and have to gather on the platform tomorrow?" Zhen Qin asked, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her tone was quite dissatisfied.
Su Han looked at the Butiantai and said softly: "I don't know, maybe it has something to do with the sinking of the spiritual energy a month ago."
People were coming and going on the street behind them, and many disciples stopped, also discussing the roof patching platform.
Many disciples just came back and were shocked when they saw the Tianbu Tai for the first time.
Once such a large formation is activated, how powerful will it be?
Zhen Qin couldn't get the answer, so she couldn't help but turn her head and look in other directions. In a daze, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, but when she looked carefully, she didn't see that person, as if she had seen it wrong.
"Weird..." Zhen Qin muttered.
Among the crowd not far away, Jiang Qiong, dressed in Tsing Yi, strolled forward, her eyes squinting at the patchwork platform without any expression on her face.
Beside her followed a hunched old man, holding a cane in his hand, his head only reaching her shoulders.
"Miss, this formation is not easy. I'm afraid something big will happen tomorrow. Do we really want to stay?" the hunchbacked old man asked.
Not only him, many disciples around him are worried and have all kinds of speculations.
Jiang Qiong's expression remained unchanged as she replied: "It's indeed not simple. The restrictions within the array are very complicated. It would be difficult to complete them without decades of effort. But since we're all here, we must take a look tomorrow."
The hunchbacked old man looked at her and said with emotion: "Miss, you have changed so much. You won't have anyone to worry about in this Taixuan Sect, right?"
"Indeed, that's why I invited you here."
"Haha, it seems like my old bones are going to have to be stretched again."
The two chatted casually, and they did not mention Qianqiu Pavilion, so no one doubted their identities.
at the same time.
On the other side of the Tianbu Terrace, in a nine-story attic, two figures stood on the edge of the building. They both looked young, and one of them was Chen Xuanjin's backer, a man in black robe.
The man in black robe looked down at the patchwork platform, his eyes were deep and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The young man next to him asked: "Master, the outer disciples of this city should be back soon. Do you want to summon the handyman disciples from the nearby medicine valley, animal farm, and mine?"
This voice is clearly Chen Xuanjin!
He took away the body of a young disciple.
The man in black robe said softly: "No need, there are too many servant disciples, and the cultivation level is not pure."
