Chapter 2208 Dark Hall
Chen Yang received the news that Hou Xiang was missing.
Of course, this news did not affect him at all.
After staying in Prince Yang's Mansion for a few days, he set off and returned to Longji Academy.
He had just returned to the academy and was about to practice in seclusion, but was notified to gather in the mission hall.
This was strange. Longji Academy had always been free. Could it be forced to carry out the mission?
It seemed that something must have happened.
Thinking so, Chen Yang arrived at the mission hall.
In front of the hall, many academy disciples had gathered, with a number of more than 100 people.
Chen Yang observed that these disciples were still the more outstanding disciples in various realms.
It seemed that the academy was going to arrange a very difficult mission.
After a while, Zhang Yuxi came.
After a while, Wang Zehong also came.
Chen Yang heard the discussions of the people around him and learned that there were a total of eight disciples in the top 100 of Shangqing Peak.
In addition to Wang Zehong, there was another disciple ranked 13th, named Liao Jian.
Like Wang Zehong, he is also in the middle stage of the True Palace. Although he is not as strong as Wang Zehong, he is also very strong.
This scene is not simple.
"Junior Brother Chen."
Wang Zehong smiled and greeted Chen Yang when he saw him, and walked towards this side.
Together with Zhang Yuxi, the three stood together and chatted.
Wang Zehong was interesting. He kept talking about gambling. He kept saying that if he went out to perform the mission this time, he must gamble a few times, which would be interesting.
Others were quite speechless when they heard his words.
It turned out that this sixth-ranked senior brother was a gambler.
Gradually, more and more people gathered in front of the mission hall.
After a while, the vice president Long Jiatong and the chief elder of the mission hall Xu Guangyong appeared.
When Long Jiatong saw Chen Yang, her eyes swept past him.
It seemed that she had forgotten the matter of catching Chen Yang and wanting to execute him before, and did not remember it in her heart.
"Dear disciples, please follow me."
Xu Guangyong shouted, turned around and headed towards Longji Peak, leading everyone into another hall.
Inside the hall, the light was a little dim.
In addition to Long Jiatong and Xu Guangyong, there were the disciples who came in.
Wang Zehong was the strongest among the disciples. He asked: "Vice Dean Long, Elder Xu, are you calling us here today for any important task?"
"This time, there is indeed an important task."
Xu Guangyong nodded, glanced at Long Jiatong, and said: "Vice Dean Long will explain the specific content of the task to you."
Everyone looked at Long Jiatong.
Long Jiatong took a step forward and said, "In addition to the altar, the Western Fire Sect has four other halls. One of them is called the Dark Hall, which has organizations such as the Dark Hall. It is mainly responsible for assassinations and information collection in the Western Fire Sect. It is a very important hall in the Western Fire Sect."
"After years of information collection, the Academy's Mechanical Hall has now discovered the location of the Dark Hall, which is located on a peak west of Li Mountain. The peak is called Lihai Peak. The top of the mountain is flat and the area is huge. There is a small town called Lihai Town."
"On the surface, Lihai Town is an ordinary town, but in fact, there is It is the location of the Dark Hall of the Western Fire Sect. About one-third of the population are from the Dark Hall. On weekdays, they are no different from ordinary townspeople, but secretly, they do all kinds of things that harm the world, kill people and set fires, and commit countless crimes. "
"This information is the most confidential information. All of you present have been examined by the academy, and only disciples with sufficient strength and reliable backgrounds will be selected before this secret is told to you."
"And your mission this time is to go to Lihai Town and destroy the Dark Hall."
Hearing this, the disciples present suddenly realized.
It must be said that destroying one of the four major halls of the Western Fire Sect is indeed a very important task.
But the Dark Hall must be very powerful, and it is not ordinary.
So many people may not be able to destroy it.
And more than a hundred people entered Lihai Town, and the Dark Hall of the Western Fire Sect must be easily alert, and it is difficult to launch a sneak attack.
Wang Zehong asked: "Deputy Dean Long, how strong is the Dark Hall?"
Long Jiatong said: "Among the four major halls of the Western Fire Sect, the Dark Hall has the weakest combat power. The Dark Hall Master is in the late True Palace stage, the two deputy hall masters are in the middle True Palace stage, and the rest of the people, some are in the early True Palace stage, and the rest are in the Fake Palace stage."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Such strength does not seem easy to deal with.
Just when someone was about to raise questions, Long Jiatong continued: "According to our information, the Dark Hall Master and one of the deputy hall masters have now returned to the Western Fire Sect and will not return to Lijiang Town in the short term. With your strength, it is completely enough to deal with the rest of the people."
"I see."
Everyone nodded and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Chen Yang was puzzled and asked, "Vice President Long, since we know where the Dark Hall is, why doesn't the academy wait for the hall master and vice hall master to come back, and then let the elders of the academy take action to directly destroy them? Wouldn't it be better?"
Long Jiatong said, "Although good and evil cannot coexist, neither side is willing to provoke a war now. Therefore, the academy will not openly send elders to wipe out the Western Fire Sect with the power of the academy. The disciples can deal with the Western Fire Sect in the name of carrying out the mission. In this way, large-scale direct conflicts can be avoided."
Chen Yang understood. To put it bluntly, everyone was sticking to a rule, that is, not to fight each other openly.
It seemed that no one could afford the loss.
After all, there were many forces in the Western Continent. If there was a serious blow, the Western Fire Sect and Longji Academy might be suppressed by other forces or even replaced.
The current balance was what all parties were unwilling to break.
After Long Jiatong made some specific arrangements, Wang Zehong led the team and the disciples set off immediately to Lishan.
In order to conceal their identities, the Longwu ship stopped far away from Lishan, and then more than a hundred disciples dispersed and disguised themselves as ordinary Jianghu people, and entered the nearest city to Lishan one after another.
Then, everyone met in the city.
Three days later, at night.
Under the Lihai Peak, there were shadowy figures, and they were the disciples of Longji Academy.
They lurked from under the mountain and headed towards the top of the mountain.
Lihai Peak is an independent mountain with steep cliffs on all sides. There is only one road leading to the top of the mountain. If someone flies or descends from the cliff, they can see it clearly, so there is no need to worry about someone escaping.
Going to the top of the mountain, the surroundings are quiet, which is a bit abnormal.
Logically speaking, since the dark hall is hidden here, then no matter what, some secret guards should be set up as a precaution.
They are not so relieved. Do they think no one will find this place?
