You are such a master

When Xuan Lan heard the voice of his apprentice, the coldness in his eyes faded a bit, and when he looked at Gu Ran again, he became gentle.

"What's the matter?" Xuan Lan lowered his head and asked, a pair of quiet and cold eyes reflected Gu Ran.

"..." Gu Ran suddenly couldn't say a word to excuse that Elder Zhang, the person in front of him was protecting him, even his own eyes, why couldn't he be willful for a while?

"The disciple thanked Master." After all, Gu Ran answered Xuanlan like this.

"You are my apprentice." Xuan Lan's lips seemed to be curved, and the upward arc was like an unreal smile, but it was not difficult for Gu Ran to see the emotion of his master.

You are my apprentice, the implication is that I naturally want to protect you.

Surprise appeared in Gu Ran's eyes. After sweeping Xuanlan's body, his eyes fell on the limp Elder Zhang not far away, "This elder and Zhang Ziyu are a little weird, it seems that they are infected with something they shouldn't be. .” Gu Ran vaguely reminded his master.

"Oh? Then I will wipe out everything with a single sword." Xuanlan glanced at Elder Zhang and Zhang Ziyu, and the spiritual consciousness of the monks in the Mahayana period passed by. At first, he only felt that the vitality in their bodies was weak, and then found strange energy fluctuations.

If my master cut off this elder with a single sword, even if the ghoul escaped by chance, Elder Zhang's body would be ironclad evidence, and no trace of the ghoul clan's possession could be erased.

"I hope Master Xuanlan will be merciful!" At this moment, a steady but slightly vicissitudes voice came from afar.

He arrived before the people arrived, obviously very worried that Xuan Lan would kill Elder Zhang right away.The owner of this voice is none other than Qiu Changfeng, the head of the Qingxiao Sect.

The cultivation base in the middle of the fusion period is a bit old. It seems that this head has experienced many years, with shrewd and sophisticated thinking in his vicissitudes of life eyes, and his gains and losses are all between his ups and downs.

"Master Qiu." Xuan Lan said lightly when he saw the person coming.

"Elder Zhang is the first elder of my Qingxiao sect..."

Xuanlan was too lazy to listen to his excessive words, "So what, my disciple of Xuanlan is worse than your elders?"

"..." Before Qiu Changfeng could finish the rest of his words, Xuanlan completely denied him. Even though he was as shrewd as Qiu Changfeng, he couldn't find an excuse for a while.

"In the end it was my fault, Elder Zhang of the Qingxiao Sect. The Qingxiao Sect will remove him from the position of the first elder, and he will rest in the sect. I am really sorry for offending Master Xuanlan." Qiu Changfeng said helplessly. Xuan Lan kept his posture very low in front of him.

The head of the Xuanjian Sect had to respectfully call out as uncle when he saw Xuanlan, but Qiu Changfeng was much older than Yun Xuzi, and his seniority was the same as Xuanlan's, but the cultivation world respected the strong, and the monks in the fusion stage In front of Mahayana monks, there is indeed no seniority.

"Well, what about this person?" Xuan Lan responded, and the conversation turned to Zhang Ziyu, who was about to be unfrozen by Elder Zhang, and then completely frozen by Xuan Lan.

"This junior is immature and almost made a big mistake. I will be a good teacher and teach him. I hope Master Xuanlan will give him a chance to repent." Qiu Changfeng's words are watertight. If Xuanlan insists on this matter again Let it go, that is not enough tolerance to care about with the juniors.

"Junior? When did your disciples of the Qingxiao Sect become like this?" Xuanlan asked questions, but did not bring any doubts.

Qiu Changfeng's heart skipped a beat, and his consciousness quickly swept towards Zhang Ziyu who was covered in frost and snow.After this investigation, Qiu Changfeng was shocked to find that half of Zhang Ziyu's skin had rotted, and there was no vitality left in his body, only some strange energy filled his body.

"This... this..." Qiu Changfeng was speechless, a few thoughts flashed quickly in his eyes, and then he turned his head to look at Elder Zhang who was seriously injured. What happened to Elder Zhang's nephew? Do you know?

"Elder Zhang, why did the nephew you raised become such a ghost?"

As soon as Qiu Changfeng finished speaking, Elder Zhang's face became even paler. His eyes looked in the direction of Xuanlan and Gu Ran, but gradually took on a cloudy color... Then Elder Zhang's body twitched, and his whole body went limp. Go down - lifeless.

Qiu Changfeng, who had been focusing on Elder Zhang, suddenly opened his eyes wide. Elder Zhang is actually dead? !

Elder Zhang actually died? !

Xuanlan slapped him to death with just such a palm? !

Everyone present couldn't believe it, including Gu Ran, and they didn't know why Elder Zhang was like this. Could it be a fake death? Can turn corpses into living dead.The current Elder Zhang should have become a corpse, and he may become a living dead in the future.

And where did the ghoul that possessed Elder Zhang go?Gu Ran doesn't know either, he is not a god, and all the speculations come from various hints in the original book, but now, there are too many Honkai settings, and many plots in the original book have begun to develop in different directions. The cow can't turn back.

Gu Ran suddenly realized, as if gradually, that he was no longer able to live in this world as a bystander who had read the "Complete Works of Stories".

"The Qingxiao faction will thoroughly investigate this matter! I will give you an explanation!"

Qiu Changfeng's expression was tired. It turned out that Elder Zhang defended his nephew against Xuanlan. He could also take the opportunity to drag Elder Zhang down from the position of chief elder. I am at odds with myself.

But now in public, Elder Zhang died, and Zhang Ziyu's whole body was rotten and lifeless.Xuanlan's palm could not be separated from Elder Zhang's fall anyway, so Xuanjianzong and Qingxiao School had already had a grudge against each other.

The withdrawing investigation that Qiu Changfeng said was just delaying time. It would be best to find the messenger behind the scenes to ease the conflict between the Qingxiao faction and the Xuanjian sect. But they are all arrogant and unreasonable lunatics.

Secondly, there are also weird things about Zhang Ziyu. Among them, he and Gu Ran, a disciple of Xuanjianzong, were obviously fine before the fight, so why did he become like this during the competition.

Thinking about it carefully, Qiu Changfeng's eyes were already on guard against Xuan Jianzong and others.It's not bad that Xuanlan is a Mahayana monk, and their Qingxiao Sect is not an ancestor without a Mahayana period. It's just that when they are old, they are retreating to understand the secrets of heaven and waiting for the opportunity to ascend. How can there be someone as young and reckless as Xuanlan.

"Disciples of Xuanjianzong go back with me." Xuan Lan took a look at Qiu Changfeng, and took a group of disciples of Xuanjianzong back to the other courtyard first.

Naturally, they can't go back to Xuanjianzong directly. Qingxiao sent such a thing, maybe they will be involved in Xuanjianzong in the future.Moreover, the competition of the three factions has not yet been completed, although it is still a question of whether this competition can continue.

On the way back, a group of disciples of Xuanjianzong quietly followed Xuanlan, probably because too many things happened in one day today, and they haven't digested it yet.

What's more, many disciples of the Xuanjian Sect didn't know that Master Xuanlan had also come with him, and the psychological pressure of being close to a real person was a bit heavy. Even if Xuanlan had restrained all his coercion now, the psychological pressure could not be relieved.

After returning to the other courtyard, Xuan Lan called out the names of several disciples and asked the other disciples of the Xuanjian Sect to disperse.

The remaining disciples were all well-known to Gu Ran—Li Lang, Chu Shaoqing, Li Luo, Li Yu, and himself.

"I have met Master Xuanlan." The disciples of the Li generation all bowed respectfully to Xuanlan.

After Xuanlan nodded, he asked, "What's the difference between what happened today and Zhang Ziyu you met when you were in Beicheng?"

In Beicheng, upon hearing this location, Li Luo and Li Yu, who hadn't quite understood before, suddenly realized.

"The Zhang Ziyu I met in Beicheng all looked normal." Li Luo scratched his head and said this sentence.

Li Lang didn't really expect any insightful remarks from his younger brother, and after thinking about it, he replied, "At that time, Zhang Ziyu's cultivation was only at the early stage of Jindan, but what he saw today was at the Nascent Soul stage, which is really weird."

"In addition, when Zhang Ziyu opened the Nine-breathing Secret Realm, his cultivation base was able to build a foundation." Chu Shaoqing made up for Li Lang's problem that Zhang Ziyu's cultivation base increased abnormally.

How much chance does it take for a person to cross the cultivation gap between two great realms in just half a year?Impossible, Qing Zichu didn't even have such a cheat.

"At the end of the Nine Breaths Secret Realm, Zhang Ziyu disappeared for a while, and after returning to the Qingxiao Sect, his cultivation reached the Golden Core stage, and he said it was a chance he got in the Nine Breaths Secret Realm." Li Lang continued, frowning, remembering that time What happened when he was ordered by his master to pick up the disciples of Xuanjianzong.At that time, Zhang Ziyu disappeared for no reason, and was still under the noses of everyone.

"Then, Zhang Ziyu may not be the original Zhang Ziyu after the Nine Breaths Secret Realm disappears." Gu Ran opened his mouth, seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, he took a deep breath and continued.

"In Beicheng, there was an inconspicuous black mark on the back of Zhang Ziyu's neck. At that time, I thought it was a birthmark or something, until I saw traces of corpse spots on the corpse, and I became suspicious. Later, Zhang Ziyu returned to the Qingxiao Sect first. , the Beicheng incident has not subsided, so I had to let go of this doubt, and today on the competition stage, I found that Zhang Ziyu's body is no different from a rotting corpse, and I am afraid that he was possessed by evil spirits."

The evil spirit possesses the body and seizes the body.

The word "Devil Cultivator" flashed subconsciously in the minds of the other few people, but after thinking about it carefully, it is not so unbearable for the Demon Cultivator to seize the house. The body is rotting like a corpse, and the person who seized the house is still enjoying it. It is really weird extreme.

"What kind of thing is possessed?! What about Elder Zhang? He died suddenly. Could it have something to do with that thing? It couldn't be killed by a random slap by Master Xuanlan, right?" Li Luo muttered. , to the end is completely soliloquy.

"It's very possible that this rotten body is somewhat similar to the demon cultivator that appeared before." Xuanlan said lightly, and she didn't know what to recall, and there was a little dark light in her eyes.

"Before?!" Li Luo and the others were taken aback.

"Is it the Demon Cultivator who appeared in Beicheng?" Li Yu asked anxiously.

"Not necessarily, it appeared hundreds of years ago. No, maybe it wasn't the magic cultivator that appeared at that time." Xuan Lan suddenly overturned his previous words in the middle of speaking. The current situation is not caused by the magic cultivator hundreds of years ago The same is true of the disaster.
