First Summoner

On the other side, somewhere far away from the teams of major forces.

The Sixth Elder looked at Shen Yan in confusion and asked, "Are you telling us disciples of the Qiankun Sect not to rush to the Shen Family Royal Ancestral Hall tomorrow? Why?"

Shen Yan raised her eyes and explained, "Disciple feels that even if we rush forward, we may not be able to obtain the Tianzhou Divine Sword. Moreover, I heard Master mention before that there are extremely terrifying beings in the underground city of the palace. What if the eldest princess Shen Ke can summon them to fight for her?"

"Ten bronze statues to calm souls?" Elder Qi frowned slightly.

"Yes." Shen Yan nodded, "And I guess that Princess Shen Ke is very likely hiding in the underground city."

Elder Qi looked at her deeply, as if thinking about something.

"In the dungeon?!" the Sixth Elder exclaimed, and his voice almost attracted the attention of the teams in the distance.

The Sixth Elder realized that he had lost his composure, coughed lightly, and then asked, "Should we tell the leader of Jidao Sect?"

"Why should we tell him?" Dong Zhuxue finally spoke, her face cold: "Our Qiankun Sect is not a subsidiary of the Jidao Sect. What's more, the leader of the Jidao Sect just wants to use us to deal with the eldest princess Shen Ke. Once the Tianzhou Divine Sword appears again, he will definitely do whatever it takes to get it, even at the cost of sacrificing us."

"Zhu Xue is absolutely right." Elder Qi nodded and smiled.

In fact, the elders of all the major forces have agreed to join forces with the leader of Jidao Sect on the surface, but in reality, how many of them are really willing to do so? And how many of them are just perfunctory in order to avoid a falling out with Jidao Sect?

Elder Qi was originally unwilling to let the disciples of his own sect become stepping stones for others. If Yan'er had not talked to them about this matter tonight, he would probably have secretly told all the disciples of the Qiankun Sect not to fight so hard, to run away quickly when encountering danger, and never to obey the orders of the elders of other forces and rush forward foolishly.

After all, your own life is the most important.

The Sixth Elder understood and sighed deeply: "This makes me look stupid."

After saying this, he couldn't help laughing.

He looked at Elder Qi and Shen Yan: "It seems that you two masters and apprentices have the same ideas."

Shen Yan turned his head to glance at Elder Qi and smiled.

Elder Qi raised his eyebrows arrogantly and stroked his beard.

"Like disciple, like teacher."

The Sixth Elder and Dong Zhuxue couldn't help laughing.

Shen Yan laughed: "If that's the case, I'm relieved."

Elder Qi raised his hand and patted Shen Yan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, the strength of all of you is very low, so don't rush forward tomorrow. If you can't win, run away, and don't get involved."

Shen Yan smiled.

"Disciples listen to their master."

Dong Zhuxue looked at Shen Yan with gentle eyes, wanting to say something but stopping herself, and finally chose to remain silent.

It would be better for her and Bu Feng to wait until Shen Yan becomes stronger before talking to her about her father.

Elder Qi stared at Shen Yan with deep eyes, his mind full of thoughts. Just now, he witnessed Wen Yuchu's face after removing the mask, and the shock of that moment still lingered in his mind, making him feel more complicated.

He couldn't help but feel that he seemed to have accepted eight unique apprentices. Each of them had their own unique characteristics, as if they were hiding endless secrets. Whenever he tried to understand them, he always felt that there was a hazy veil in front of him, making everything blurry and elusive.

After a moment of silence, he sighed softly, "Sometimes, I, as a teacher, feel sad too."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan, Dong Zhuxue and the Sixth Elder all looked at Elder Qi with puzzlement on their faces.

But Elder Qi did not answer, he just smiled and shook his head slightly.

After returning to the team, Shen Yan stayed with his friends.

Jing Ziqian glanced at Shen Yan with an unclear expression.

The next day.

After everyone had rested, they headed towards the imperial palace, led by the leader of the Jidao Sect.

When they arrived outside the palace gate, they found that the two demon-suppressing stone elephants were not there.

"The demon-suppressing stone elephant is guarding outside the Shen family's royal ancestral temple!" said an elder.

"Did the Demon-Suppressing Stone Elephant know about our actions in advance? Or was it Princess Shen Ke?"

"Is Shen Ke among us?"

"not necessarily."

Everyone was talking about it.

However, the leader of Jidao Sect smiled and said, "It's good to know in advance. We don't have to spend so much effort to lure her out. Since she cares so much about the Shen Family Royal Ancestral Hall, we should focus on her weak spot."

Hearing this, the elders from various forces looked at each other.

Nan Rong Jingyun frowned slightly at this moment. She knew that the Tianzhou Divine Sword was very good, but her father had already resorted to any means to get it and had lost some of his sense of proportion and reason.

She turned her head to look at Nie Xun beside her.

Nie Xun's injuries had not yet healed, and his cold face was pale. He seemed to notice her gaze and looked up at her.

"what happened?"

Nan Rong Jingyun lowered his eyes and asked softly, "Junior brother, do you think I should persuade my father to stop now?"

Nie Xun pursed his lips and said with a thorough understanding: "It's useless even if you persuade me."

Rumor has it that the person who gets the Tianzhou Divine Sword is the true emperor of Tianzhou. The reason why the leader of Jidao Sect is so persistent is because he thinks this sword can bring him great prestige!

He added: "But you can persuade."

Nan Rong Jingyun slowly raised her eyes and looked at him.

He said, "Senior sister, I will accompany you to persuade the master."

When Nan Rong Jingyun heard this, she felt a warm feeling in her heart and a secret joy, and her eyes showed gratitude.

"it is good."

Before entering the palace, Nan Rong Jingyun and Nie Xun approached the leader of Jidao Sect and tried to persuade him, but this aroused the leader's dissatisfaction.

The leader of the Jidao Sect glanced at Nie Xun fiercely.

"Before you let Shen Ke go, I only gave you a light punishment. Now you are trying to instigate Yun'er to interfere with my decision. When you return to the sect, you will receive the punishment!"

Nan Rong Jingyun's face changed slightly when he heard this.

"no……"

Nie Xun nodded and replied: "Yes, Master."

"Father..." Nan Rong Jingyun frowned upon seeing this. She wanted to plead for Nie, but was interrupted by the words of the leader of the Jidao Sect.

"Yun'er, don't you believe in your father?"

After these words were spoken, Nan Rong Jingyun choked slightly, fell silent, and stopped trying to persuade him.

Upon seeing this, the leader of Jidao Sect raised his hand and touched the top of Nanrong Jingyun's head, and said in a slow tone: "Yun'er, father is not blaming you."

Nan Rong Jingyun nodded after hearing this.

After the crowd entered the palace in a mighty procession, the bronze statue of the soul in the dungeon suddenly reacted, and its eyes slowly moved.

When they arrived outside the Shen's Imperial Ancestral Hall, they saw the two huge demon-suppressing stone elephants as expected. Their eyes were sharp and majestic.
