Chapter 312: The Drunkard’s Intention Is Not to Drink
The two had already discussed it.
If Senior Brother Zhang Sheng acted as usual and attacked first after being provoked, the two of them would take the opportunity to capture Senior Brother Zhang Sheng without hesitation.
Then, they would list all the "crimes" of Jian Sifeng in the past in the name of the sect, and then legitimately remove his position as the leader of the four peaks and imprison him.
But the two never expected that Senior Brother Zhang Sheng would be so calm.
Not only that, Senior Brother Zhang Sheng seemed to agree with their words, saying that when his disciple Zhang Gu's cultivation level had a breakthrough, he would let Zhang Gu participate in the search and seizure of sect resources according to the sect rules.
As a result, the short old man Situ Wang and the ugly Fu Xiao were stunned and had no idea what to do.
After all, they had made preparations before, and in order to make their actions "legitimate", they deliberately asked many middle-level elders of the sect and some formal disciples of the nine peaks to follow.
In order to let these people "witness".
Now, under the watchful eyes of these people, even if the two of them wanted to find a reason to fight, it would seem a bit unreasonable.
The short old man Situ Wang was unwilling to give up.
He remembered that since Senior Brother Zhang Sheng entered the sect, he had been suppressed and had never had a chance to stand out.
After Zhang Sheng advanced to the late stage of the Nascent Soul, he thought he would never have a chance in this life.
However, with the appearance of the ancient blood corpse at the bottom of the river, the several peak masters were forced to preside over the "True Gang Beidou Xuan Formation" to suppress it under the "forced order" of Senior Brother Zhang Sheng. In the end, although they escaped by luck, their cultivation dropped sharply.
Especially Senior Brother Zhang Sheng, he fell directly from the late stage of the Nascent Soul to the edge of the early stage of the Nascent Soul, and almost fell into a major realm.
This made Situ Wang see hope all of a sudden.
The sharp decline in Zhang Sheng's strength made the several peak masters who were originally suppressed by him have small thoughts.
When Zhang Sheng was powerful, even if there were extraordinary things in Jian Sifeng, they could only turn a blind eye.
Zhang Sheng's strength has dropped so much at once, and there is almost no hope of recovery, which naturally makes the other peaks who were originally dissatisfied with Jian Sifeng start to sharpen their knives.
In addition, Jian Yifeng secretly received news that the old sect master's lineage was going to return to Qingjian Sect, which immediately made some of the peak masters who were still hesitating and wavering make a decision immediately.
"Two junior brothers, is there anything else?"
Zhang Sheng asked in a gentle tone.
Hearing this, the elder of Jian Yifeng Fu Xiao immediately asked: "Brother Zhang, when can your disciple Zhang Gu come out of seclusion? If his cultivation cannot break through, won't he have to stay in seclusion forever?"
"That's right, Brother Zhang, the sect's cultivation resources are in urgent need, and now most of the disciples have left the sect. They are taking great risks to compete for cultivation resources. You, Jian Sifeng, can't just not contribute a bit, right?"
Situ Wang said rather unwillingly.
Zhang Sheng's face showed a serious look of thought, and soon he said simply:
"My two junior brothers, after seven days, my disciple will definitely come out of retreat. As soon as he comes out of retreat, I will ask him to go to the 'Demon Tower Forest' and the 'Insect Flame Valley' immediately, and order him to seize at least one thousand 'Insect Flame Stones' and hand them over to the sect."
When Zhang Sheng said this, all the cultivators present were shocked.
Soon, the cultivators began to discuss.
"One thousand insect flame stones? Isn't this too difficult?"
"Yes. It is said that Zhang Gu only has the cultivation level of the initial stage of Jindan. Even if he can advance to the middle stage of Jindan after coming out of retreat, it will be difficult to seize a thousand 'Insect Flame Stones'?"
"This may not be impossible. Since Uncle Zhang said so, there must be a powerful magic weapon given to Zhang Gu."
"Yes, it seems that it must be the case."
...
Situ Wang and Fu Xiao were also shocked by Zhang Sheng's words.
However, although the two were shocked and surprised in their hearts, their expressions did not show too much.
Fu Xiao, who looked ugly, suddenly said in a loud voice: "Brother Zhang, you are not just boasting, are you?"
Zhang Sheng smiled calmly and said: "I will keep my word. If my disciple Zhang Gu can't do it, I, the leader of Jian Si Peak, will also be at the end of my career and I am willing to give way to him."
When these words came out, Situ Wang and Fu Xiao were first shocked, and then they were overjoyed.
"Brother Zhang, since you have said so much, I will naturally not say more. I am just waiting for Zhang Gu to hand over a thousand insect flame stones to the sect."
Situ Wang said, and he and Fu Xiao bowed to Zhang Sheng, and left the narrow valley with a group of cultivators.
Zhang Sheng returned to the valley with a blank expression.
Seven days later.
Yang Che finished his practice and immediately walked towards his master's cave.
After entering the cave and performing the disciple's ceremony, he heard the master say:
"There is still a little short. You should go to the 'Demon Tower Forest' and 'Insect Flame Valley' in this chaotic wasteland. The demon pill of the 'Demon Dragon' in the Demon Tower Forest should be able to help you completely reach the state of great perfection of the Jindan stage."
After that, he told Yang Che about the agreement he made with Situ Wang and Fu Xiao seven days ago.
Yang Che said solemnly: "Master, they are obviously not interested in wine."
"Yes. Master knows. Master wants to remind you that the Demon Tower Forest can only be entered by cultivators at the Jindan stage and below. For you, there is no danger except for the demon dragon. But the 'Insect Flame Valley' has no restrictions on cultivation. There are not only powerful independent cultivators from the Xuanwu Realm, but also more independent cultivators from the Qinglong Realm, and they are even stronger. It is not easy to snatch the Insect Flame Stone from them."
"Okay, Master, I know. I will set off now."
Yang Che bid farewell to his master Zhang Sheng, without any delay, and stepped out of the valley directly, flying out of the huge iceberg.
As soon as his figure disappeared, a Jindan cultivator of the Qingjian Sect who was hiding in the dark crushed a sound transmission talisman.
Somewhere in the Chaos.
In a dense forest with sparse vegetation.
In the open space in the dense forest, six old men dressed strangely were sitting cross-legged.
Three were in the late Jindan stage, two were in the early Yuanying stage, and one was in the middle Yuanying stage.
Among them, the old man in the middle Yuanying stage was bald, wearing a "blood-red monk robe", and a string of thick black Buddhist beads hung around his neck.
He burned a sound transmission talisman in his hand and said gloomily:
"The target person has appeared. He is a rough-looking young man in black robe, with a cultivation base in the middle stage of Jindan. It is said that this person has a very powerful magic weapon. With this magic weapon, he can compete with the cultivators in the early stage of Yuanying, so we must not take it lightly."
"Brother, we are not killing him, we are just stopping him from getting the insect flame stone."
A dwarf old man in the early stage of Yuanying smiled and said nonchalantly.
"That being said, that person said that we must do it perfectly and not let anyone see any clues. Otherwise, we will not get the reward he gave."
The bald red-robed old monk looked serious, and his sharp eyes swept over the others, and then said: "Let's go, wait at the entrance of the Insect Flame Valley, and then discuss the next plan."
The six old men dressed strangely quickly got up and flew away from the dense forest.
