After Lord Jie sat down, he poured himself a cup, took a sip happily, and narrowed his eyes.

"She didn't come back. She had more important things to do."

Zhang Ruochen sat calmly opposite Lord Jie.

Lord Jie said: "Where is the ancestor Jin Ni? It hasn't come back either?"

Zhang Ruochen nodded.

Lord Jie was very vigilant. He made sure that Zhang Ruochen's Tai Chi Four Symbol Seal covered an area of ​​18 feet and it was difficult for anyone to hear their conversation, so he asked in a low voice: "In the Dragon's Nest, I heard from Xiao Hei that the Wuding Divine Sea may be

There is someone hiding under the Dark Ancestor, and his cultivation level is at least half of the Ancestor level. Is this true? Is the Dark Temple being stolen related to this person?"

Zhang Ruochen looked very indifferent and said: "What Xiao Hei? He is now the leader of the Shenyun Sect, and his mental power is close to that of Tianyuanwuque. Don't you want to lose face?"

"You called me an old guy, but I didn't say anything." Lord Jie was a little unconvinced, and then he lowered his voice and asked: "I heard that the Ming Ancestors took action at Beize Great Wall and killed them.

Want to cross the long river of time and come to this era's destiny ancestor? Is it true or false?"

Zhang Ruochen had to lament that Xiao Hei's mouth could tell everything in just a short time, and it also deviated from the truth.

One can imagine how unbelievable the legends in this world are.

It’s so difficult to find the truth behind the legend!

Zhang Ruochen said: "The Ming Ancestor is most likely Jiutian."

Lord Jie gasped and was stunned. He recalled that he had a drink with Jiutian last month, which made him feel agitated.

"Are they all hiding so deeply? Yes, the drunkard and the corpse demon have been friends for many years, how can there be no problem? All the anti-gods were cursed to death, and only his lineage was spared. It is too unreasonable."

Lord Jie thought of something and said: "Wait a minute, if that drunkard is the Ming Ancestor, why did he expose himself and why did he run away? No one can threaten him at all."

Zhang Ruochen's eyes were cold, and he said with a very confident look: "Because, he took action on the Beize Great Wall and exposed a flaw. Based on this flaw, the God Realm can deduce the secrets and cause and effect to find him. The Fourth Confucian Patriarch

When I came to Wuding Shenhai, did you think I was coming back to catch up with you? I came here to further confirm."

"If he doesn't leave, why don't he wait for the Gods of the God Realm and the Gods of the Sword Realm to attack him? No matter how strong he is, he is still not invincible. There is more than one immortal!"

Lord Jie really believed Zhang Ruochen's words. Otherwise, given Zhang Ruochen's character, how could he have a private meeting with his lover here instead of rescuing the old drunkard when such a big thing happened?

With his heart agitated, Lord Jie was no longer in the mood to drink, and said to himself: "Fortunately, fortunately there are still people in this world who can compete with him, and he has already left!"

"Who said he has left?" Zhang Ruochen said.

Lord Jie said: "Didn't you leave?"

Zhang Ruochen said: "The Kingdom of the Underworld was half destroyed, and I brought it back to the Wuding Divine Sea. The Underworld soldiers and generals were defeated and fled in all directions. The Underworld Sea was divided by three parties, Baal fell, Patriarch Chongming died, and the Underworld Ancestor faction suffered unparalleled heavy losses.

Where can the Ancestor of the Underworld go after leaving the Wuding Divine Sea?"

"I guess he didn't leave the Wuding Divine Sea, he just turned from light to dark and completely hidden."

Lord Jie's face turned pale and he said: "Then aren't we in great danger? That old drunkard...Zhang Ruochen, can your Tai Chi Four Symbol Seals isolate his perception? He is the Ancestor of the Underworld, the legendary immortal.

, an existence that has the ability to initiate catastrophes that will destroy the world."

Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes, shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know! If you can't reach that level of cultivation, how can you know the abilities of monks at that level?"

Lord Jie put his hands together, bowed in all directions, and said: "Master Ming Ancestor, children's words are not forbidden, children's words are not forbidden, if I have offended you in some way, please forgive me."

"Tong Yan Wu Ji!"

Zhang Ruochen smiled.

Lord Jie's eyes widened and he said seriously: "Compared with Master Ming Ancestor who has lived for endless years, aren't the two of us just two little children?"

Zhang Ruochen said: "Don't worry! Mingzu's opponents are gods and ancient creatures, and they won't be as knowledgeable as you. There is no need to kill you and expose yourself."

"It seems so."

After thinking through this level, Lord Jie immediately relaxed and was no longer as nervous as before. He smiled and said: "Zhang Ruochen, it seems that you have no choice. You can only survive by seeking refuge in the God Realm."

Zhang Ruochen said: "Why should I seek refuge in the God Realm?"

Lord Jie said: "Didn't you just talk about the good things you did on the Beize Great Wall? How could the Ming Ancestor let you go? The Ming Ancestor let you go, and the Corpse Demon will not let you go either."

"What if I have to wrestle with them?" Zhang Ruochen said.

Lord Jie said: "What to use? With your current cultivation level, the ancestor can suppress you with one hand. However, I still appreciate your courage and pride, and you have not disgraced the Zhang family.

"

Zhang Ruochen said thoughtfully, "What do you think of the Fourth Confucian Patriarch?"

Lord Jie became serious and said: "It sounds nice, but I didn't take action when the Kunlun Realm was in the most critical situation. Now that the Kunlun Realm has risen again, it wants to invite us to join the Eternal Kingdom. In this way, the better it sounds, the better it will be.

It makes people more uncomfortable. I heard that you have a good relationship? Did you feel like old friends at first sight? "

"Oh! What did he say?" Zhang Ruochen said.

Lord Jie said: "I didn't say too much, I just mentioned a few words. He said that you fought side by side at the Beize Great Wall and suppressed the spirit of the Nether Sea. It was your suggestion to hand over the Nether Sea body to him to suppress it."

of."

"That's true." Zhang Ruochen said.

Lord Jie said: "You asked that little black man to hand over the World-Destroying Bell to him and ask him to take it back to the Eternal Heaven to suppress it. Isn't that a sign of trust in the Eternal Heaven? I thought you had decided to seek refuge in the God Realm!"

"When I build a seventy-two-story tower, the ancestors can't touch it," Zhang Ruochen said.

Hearing these words, Lord Jie was shocked. If the Zhang family could regain the ancestor-level combat power, both its survivability and influence would rise to a higher level.

Luo Shuihan returned to Tianren Academy and came to Beiya. He watched Zhang Ruochen and Lord Jie from a distance for a moment before walking over.

She is always as cold as snow on a cold mountain.

At this moment, the coldness became even stronger, and she whispered: "Did Di Chen take advantage of me?"

Zhang Ruochen put down the wine in his hand and said, "Why did Senior Sister Luo say that?"

"I gave the book sealed with Buddhist patterns by Master Can Deng to the Fourth Confucian Patriarch. After he looked through it, he only said one sentence, Di Chen has good intentions! I guess you borrowed my hand.

, plotting against Confucian Ancestor."

Luo Shuihan's tone was calm from beginning to end, as if he was telling something that had nothing to do with him.

Zhang Ruochen didn't know whether Ming Zu could hear their conversation across the Tai Chi Four Symbols. Therefore, he couldn't explain it to Luo Shuihan, saying: "The things Master Can Deng found out involve the ancestors and the immortals."

, it’s not for our sword world to get involved.”

"The reason why I asked Senior Sister to hand it over to Ruzu is because Ruzu and the divine realm behind him are qualified to investigate this matter. At the same time, it also throws out the trouble as early as possible."

Luo Shuihan clasped his hands together, bowed deeply, his black hair hanging down, and said: "I have great trust in Di Chen and highly respect his character, so I am willing to believe Di Chen's explanation. Di Chen is your noble

The most powerful man in the universe can explain to Shui Han. Shui Han admires me but also feels extremely guilty. I hope Di Chen can forgive me for my rashness just now!"

Zhang Ruochen felt guilty, but could not express it. He could only apologize in the future and said: "I have met Confucian Ancestor, what choice do you plan to make, Senior Sister?"

"Of course I will stay in the Kunlun realm." Luo Shuihan said.

Zhang Ruochen said: "For someone as talented as Senior Sister in Confucianism and Taoism, didn't the Fourth Confucian Patriarch offer generous terms?"

"The Fourth Confucian Patriarch planned to accept me as his disciple and teach the Tao of painting personally. My whole family and I can go to the eternal heaven and even the divine realm. But I refused!" Luo Shuihan said.

Zhang Ruochen was puzzled and said: "Why?"

"I've just said it! I have a lot of trust in Di Chen, but I don't have such trust in Confucian Ancestor." Luo Shuihan said.

Zhang Ruochen felt a lot of emotions welling up in his heart and said, "What if I just answered that I was taking advantage of you?"

Luo Shuihan's eyes were as calm as a flat lake, and he said: "Then you must have a reason to do this, because this person does not have to be me. Di Chen, Luo Shuihan and the Luo clan will always stand by you."

…

Sword Realm, Shen Yun Sect.

The eighteen-story sword pavilion, the eighteen-story netherworld dungeon, and the eighteen-story ghost gate have been forged and turned into a towering fifty-four-story tower, standing in the fog of time and space.

Countless profound divine formations are arranged around this fifty-four-story divine tower.

Zhang Ruochen and Nalan Danqing appeared outside the fog of time and space.

Xiao Hei was in front, opening the divine formations one after another.

He asked: "Zhang Ruochen, what is the book you asked Luo Shuihan to bring to the Fourth Confucian Patriarch? Why don't you let me bring it with you?"

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask," Zhang Ruochen said.

Xiao Hei was very speechless and said: "You can't even ask? You don't really suspect that this sect leader is a monk of the Mingzu faction? Please, we have been friends for many years, but we still can't have a heart-to-heart relationship?"

"You really want to know?" Zhang Ruochen said.

Xiao Hei opened the last formation and said: "You know me, this sect leader can change other problems, but this problem of curiosity can't be changed no matter what!"

Zhang Ruochen said: "I don't tell you because I'm afraid of hurting you. Curiosity can sometimes kill people."

"Don't worry, this sect leader can still deal with important matters involving life and safety."

The little black eyeball rolled around, pulling Zhang Ruochen towards the fifty-fourth floor of the tower, saying: "Let's talk inside! Even the ancestors can't steal the content of our conversation here."

The three of them entered the tower and closed the door.

This first floor of the tower is exactly the first floor of the former sword pavilion.
