"what happened?"

Zhou Yin's reaction was very calm, and such news, which was a bolt from the blue to the disciples of the Jinghai School, did not change his color.

Seeing that he was as calm as ever, Huang Wenjun and the others seemed to relax a little from their heavy hearts.

"Back then, Elder Weng died accidentally because he was searching for traces of monsters. You also know about it. But after he left, only the head and two elders are still in the alchemy stage."

"So after you left, the head of the sect will be handed over to Senior Brother Lu to take care of the matter for the time being, and then he will go to retreat to attack Yuanying. Unexpectedly, a year ago, Senior Brother Lu called us together and told the head that the retreat failed and fell. .”

"And then?" Zhou Yin asked.

Huang Wenjun sighed: "Then Senior Brother Lu inherited the headship, but at this moment, people from the Qinggu Sect approached him, saying that they would be responsible for the loss of the Zixia Luoying Lantern and the death of Fan Ximu, a disciple of the Qinggu Sect. , ask the Jinghai faction for an explanation."

Earlier, because of Fan Ximu's death, the Qinggu Sect had sent people over to inquire about the cause and effect. Zou Jingyuan did not hand over Zhou Yin and the others, and the disciple Lu Hanyuan sent by the other party to investigate disappeared, so the matter was left alone. But now that Zou Jingyuan died, The Qinggumen immediately brought up the old story, and they came to the door, obviously because the Jinghai Sword Sect was out of favor, and the talents withered. As the Qinggumen is the third largest sect in the mainland, the strength of the two is very different, and the Jinghai Sect must not dare to offend easily. reason.

As soon as this incident happened, everyone in the Jinghai faction naturally panicked and had no intention of cultivating.

"How to seek justice?"

Huang Wenjun became more and more indignant: "It is said that there are two ways for us, either to directly belong to the Qinggu sect, and there will be no Jinghai sword sect in the world, only the Qinggu sect; or they will send people to fight with us, if we win Now, they will never mention the matter of obedience!"

He Yun also sneered and said, "The other party's fancy is just the spirit medicine pill accumulated by our sect for many years. Nobodies like us will only be bullied if we go there!"

Huang Wenjun shook his head: "With the current situation of the Jinghai faction, there is no strength at all to contend with the other party. If they refuse to surrender, is it really impossible to fight with them? It's just a joke!"

Although it is very common for the weak to prey on the strong, Qinggumen's obvious ambition to annex the Jinghai faction has made the Jinghai faction feel like they are fighting against each other.In the Jinghai faction, there are naturally those who are timid and fearful, but there are also people like Huang Wenjun who are aroused a little bit, but refuse to give in.

Zhou Yin asked: "What did Lu Yanping say?"

Huang Wenjun smiled wryly: "The last time we were summoned by the senior brother of the sect master, according to what he said, it seemed that he was inclined to deal with the Qinggu sect, but now the two elders have a disagreement with the senior brother of the sect master, saying that it is our fault. The sect is weak, not as good as the Qinggu sect, in case it loses out in the fight, it would be embarrassing, it is better to submit directly to the opponent, so as to save a little bit of face and leeway."

After He Yun got excited, her expression faded: "People are not for themselves, heaven and earth are destroyed, the two elders are not selfish, they are monks in the alchemy stage, even if they go to Qinggumen, they can get courtesy, on the contrary, they are better than others." It’s better if no one cares about it in the small sect.”

Liu Xiaowan was worried, frowned and said: "What if the senior brother agrees to fight?"

He Yun glanced at her: "Even if it's a martial arts fight, I don't think you need to do it."

Liu Xiaowan's ears were slightly red: "I didn't mean that..."

Huang Wenjun was troubled by the frequent conversations between the two women, so he hurriedly smoothed things over: "I hope that the brother in charge agrees to fight, so that the Qinggumen can see that our Jinghai Sword Sect is not empty! What do you think, Ah Yin?" ?”

Zhou Yin didn't speak, he was thinking about his situation.

Judging from the current situation, one is a third-rate sword sect that has been in decline for a long time, and the other is a sect that can be counted on the mainland. Which one is stronger and which is weaker is self-evident. A monk who formed a core is enough for the Jinghai faction to deal with it in a hurry.But on the other hand, if the Jinghai faction is willing to surrender because of fear of offending the Qinggumen, a foundation-building monk like him will inevitably be restrained and excluded everywhere, so it is better to be at ease here. Yanping will not be stingy either.

It is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. Comparing the two, Zhou Yin naturally leans towards the latter. Although he doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, but this matter is close to him, and it is related to his future cultivation, so he can't help but care a little bit.

Just as he wanted Huang Wenjun to take him to see Lu Yanping, he saw a servant boy walking over.

"Excuse me, is this Senior Brother Zhou Yinzhou?"

"Ah."

"It's really great. The head master heard that you are coming back, so he specially asked me to invite you."

Huang Wenjun was obviously very familiar with him: "Jinting, what did the sect master brother say?"

Jin Ting shook his head: "The head of the sect has not been in a good mood these past few days, and can't say a few words."

"Where is the Qinggu Gate, is there anyone coming?"

Jin Ting sighed: "Whoever said there is no, just came to write a letter the day before yesterday, forcing the head to make a decision within three days."

Huang Wenjun said angrily: "This is too deceiving!"

He Yun smiled coldly: "In today's world, the strong live and the weak die, that's all."

Jin Ting smiled wryly: "Senior Sister He is right, but what can I do? Hey, stop talking, Senior Brother Zhou, come with me to see the head of the sect!"

Zhou Yin hummed: "Lead the way."

Zhou Yin had visited this master's study room once, before he left the Jinghai Sect, Zou Jingyuan summoned him to come here. Now things have changed, Zou Jingyuan has long since passed away, and the owner has changed.

Even if the lifespan of a monk is longer than that of ordinary people, if he cannot be promoted smoothly, he will still die in the end. Like Zou Jingyuan, even if he has formed an alchemy, he is also the head of a sect. He is sitting on countless elixir resources, but his life will stop That's it, not to mention thousands of years later, even a few decades later, even the disciples of the Jinghai School may not remember that there was such a master.

Jin Ting led him to the outside of the study, and said loudly: "Report to the sect master, Senior Brother Zhou is here."

After a while, a voice sounded from inside: "Ask him to come in."

Jin Ting said: "Brother Zhou, please."

He didn't go in himself.

Zhou Yin opened the door and entered, and saw Lu Yanping standing in the study with his hands behind his back. Although his expression was calm, his fingers were clenched into fists, which undoubtedly revealed his inner emotions.

"I haven't seen you in five years. You are already in the middle stage of foundation establishment. No wonder the master said that your future is limitless." Lu Yanping smiled and asked him to sit down. "Junior Brother Zhou, after five years in the world, what have you learned?"

"Entering the world and being born out of the world are all practices." Zhou Yin's tone has always been this way, and it has not changed because of Lu Yanping's identity.

Lu Yanping has long been used to it. Hearing the words, he nodded and said: "You are right. It seems that I got started earlier than you, and my comprehension is not as deep as yours. If you had been able to get into the inner school earlier, maybe people who face this kind of predicament today would not Not me."

The situation of the Jinghai faction was there, and he expected that Zhou Yin must have known it, so he simply let it go and had fun.

Zhou Yin said: "It may not be a dilemma, but maybe an opportunity."

"How to say?"

Lu Yanping actually didn't expect him to have any ideas. You must know that although Zhou Yin's cultivation progressed quickly, it was only in the middle stage of foundation establishment. Although there were not many foundation establishment monks in the Jinghai School, it would not be Zhou Yin's turn to emerge. If he really got to the point of fighting with Qinggumen, Zhou Yin might not be needed to join the battle, but his master had asked him to get closer to Zhou Yin before he was alive, and he was so upset that he was just a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Zhou Yin said: "Although Qinggumen is powerful, it is not the biggest."

Lu Yanping froze for a moment, "You mean..."
