Gu Weiyun closed his eyes and sat back on the stool as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.

After just a moment, he started cursing.

"You idiot!"

"This is obviously a trap they set!"

"Chongjiu will never leave Gu Yanzhou, and neither will Lu Zhao!"

"The guy on the plane was just a stand-in!"

The person on the phone was scolded so much that he dared not say a word.

Gu Weiyun finally calmed down his breathing and felt the pain in his heart ease.

"Didn't I ask you to find a chance to kill Gu Yanzhou? Why is he still alive?"

The person on the phone had a trembling voice.

"There are too many security guards watching over Fifth Master's ward, and Chongjiu is almost always by his side."

"Besides, he has a bodyguard who knows medicine. Every time the doctor gives him medicine, he has to check it. There is no way he can tamper with it!"

"Master Wu's medicine is managed by a dedicated person. Even doctors can't access it. We have no chance at all!"

Gu Weiyun got angry again.

"If there is no opportunity, find one!"

"If you send people to watch over it 24 hours a day, I don't believe that they won't make any mistakes!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Gu Weiyun hung up the phone and waved away the people in the room.

"All of you, get down!"

Everyone in the room went out, leaving only him.

He touched the aching spot in his heart, picked up a document and read it carefully.

The helicopter landed directly at the back mountain of Xuan Jing Sect, which was the place they had cleared out the last time they came here.

Coming here again, Lu Zhizhi couldn't help feeling sad.

He looked at the cave and trembled all over. He couldn't help but think of what happened that day.

Now the entrance of the cave has been dealt with by a special department and it looks like a collapsed cave.

Gu Yanzhou gestured to the people who were waiting.

"Clean up this hole and don't go in."

A group of people started cleaning the hole with tools.

Gu Yanzhou put his arm around Lu Zhizhi’s shoulders.

"Let's go to Xuanjing Sect first."

"Master Wuyan said that you need to take over as the head of the sect before you can view the books in the secret library of Xuanjing Sect."

Lu Zhizhi turned around, and the two of them followed the path down the mountain and came to the main hall of Xuanjing Sect.

The Xuanjing Sect has gone through hundreds of years of history, and it has declined from a prominent sect to its current state, which is also a pity.

Huo Xuan used poisonous insects to control many people, making many of them miserable.

A special department came to deal with Huo Xuan's body, and many people in Xuan Jing Sect knew that Huo Xuan was dead.

After escaping from Huo Xuan's control, many people also left the Xuan Jing Sect.

Lu Zhizhi walked to the main hall. The lively incense burning in the past was gone, and only a few scattered people were left.

These people had all seen Lu Zhizhi enter the Xuanjing Sect with their own eyes, and were terrified about her coming again.

"What do you want to do?"

Lu Zhizhi sighed.

"I am here to take over the position of the head of the Xuanjing Sect."

Several people looked at each other in silence, only an old man with a hunched back stood up.

"You want to take over as the headmaster, do you have a headmaster token?"

Lu Zhizhi took out a black bell from his bag.

"This is the master's token, right!"

The old man took two steps forward, glanced at the bell, and nodded.

"You come with me!"

The old man walked forward tremblingly and led them to the back hall.

Gu Yanzhou held Lu Zhizhi's hand and shook his head gently.

Lu Zhizhi patted his hands.

"It's fine."

"Huo Xuan is dead, and all those mystical masters are gone."

Lu Zhizhi looked around. There were only a few people there just now, but now more than a dozen people appeared from nowhere.

Those people stared at her, some looked at her with ill intentions, some held seals in their hands, ready to attack at any time.

Some people stood at the back, their eyes full of vigilance.

Lu Zhizhi raised his head slightly and looked at their faces one by one.

"Even if everyone here attacks me together, no one can defeat me!"

Lu Zhizhi was carrying a mountaineering bag. She took the bag off her body, unzipped it, and took out the clothes inside.

The purple robe was embroidered with the five poisonous creatures pattern with colorful threads, and the wide golden piping made the garment look very heavy.

Lu Zhizhi put on the robe, took out a rubber band to tie his hair into a bun, and secured it with a lightning-struck wooden hairpin.

Those people immediately looked respectful.

Someone couldn't help but blurt out.

"Purple-robed Heavenly Master!"

Another one bumped into him.

"What purple robe? That's a purple-gold robe. He's a more powerful character than the purple-robed Heavenly Master!"

The slightly younger master came over and asked.

"I know that the purple-robed Heavenly Master is already the top of our Xuan Masters. What does the purple-gold robe mean?"

The man explained quietly.

"The purple gold robe is a legend among the Xuan Masters. A Xuan Master of this level may live to be a hundred years old."

"Most powerful people like this will live in seclusion in the mountains, and will only take action when it concerns the fate of the country!"

"So awesome!"

"Then shall we..."

"Will this person be the leader of our Xuanjing Sect in the future?"

"Is she more capable of controlling others than Huo Xuan? Let's just run!"

As several people were discussing, the hunched old man turned around and shouted.

"Are you still going to leave?"

Lu Zhizhi hurried to follow.

"Old man, please go first."

Two people followed the old man and slowly walked into the back hall.

The old man burned incense and knelt down before the Three Pure Ones, then motioned Lu Zhizhi to come forward.

Lu Zhizhi also took out incense and worshiped.

After arranging everything, she accidentally saw Gu Yanzhou’s life lamp on the altar in front of the ancestor’s portrait.

One of the two life lamps has gone out.

She took a deep breath, raised her hands and made a hand gesture, pouring all her spiritual energy into it.

A fire spell flew over, and the extinguished oil lamp suddenly lit up.

The old man's hunched body seemed to stretch a lot, and he asked with his eyes wide open.

"You are crazy!"

"Do you know that lighting a life lamp for someone will..."

Lu Zhizhi interrupted the old man.

"Old man, I know."

She bowed slightly in a gesture of invitation.

"Sorry for your trouble!"

The old man sighed and shook his head.

"follow me."

Gu Yanzhou, who was standing outside the hall, only saw what they did but did not hear what they said.

The old man walked to the pillar and turned the oil lamp on it. The floor tiles in the back hall opened to both sides, revealing an entrance.

He didn't look back and walked straight down the stairs.

Lu Zhizhi turned around and glanced at Gu Yanzhou.

Gu Yanzhou frowned, looking worried.

Lu Zhizhi smiled, just motioned him to wait there, and then followed the old man down.

The further down they went, the wider the corridor became. There seemed to be wind blowing out from underground, and the wind carried a fishy smell that made Lu Zhizhi almost vomit.

The old man heard Lu Zhizhi's disordered breathing and slowly explained.

"This is the secret vault of our Xuanjing Sect. It is also the place where the successor to the Sect Leader must come."

"Huo Xuan once raised poisonous insects here to control everyone. When she died, the poisonous insects died with her."

"No one other than the head of the sect can enter this secret vault, or they will be harmed by the formation. The poisonous insects are rotting here, and the smell is very unpleasant."

Lu Zhizhi suddenly remembered the giant meat worm she had seen before. Thinking that this smell was the smell of the giant meat worm rotting, she felt even more disgusted.

The old man stopped and a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Are you afraid?"

Lu Zhizhi thought about it and shook his head.

"What's there to be afraid of?"

The old man's voice was hoarse and seemed to be smiling.

"I've already told you, this is a secret library, only the head of the sect is allowed to enter."

"You are not the leader of the Xuanjing Sect. If you come in, of course..."

"You have to withstand the attacks brought by the formation!"
