#514 - suggestion
“Everyone,” Qingtai Elder said, “according to Zhuang Zhiming, even if Qin Zhengqiu hasn't broken through to Rank 1, he should have already grasped the method to do so.”
“And this method may be related to that strange swordsmanship.”
“As for where that swordsmanship comes from and how he learned it, we haven't found out yet.”
“However, Zhuang Zhiming has found out that Qin Zhengqiu has never used this swordsmanship before.”
“So it's not difficult to judge that he should have obtained this swordsmanship recently.”
However, Wei Changtian didn't have time to think about these details at the moment, his mind was full of earth-shattering information.
Qin Zhengqiu, strange swordsmanship, the method to break through to Rank 1...
The facts proved that Kuilong's intelligence network was several times more exaggerated than he had previously imagined.
To know that Qin Zhengqiu only showed his face once and swung his sword once.
And Kuilong had already investigated him thoroughly based on this.
Not only did they find out Qin Zhengqiu's identity and past whereabouts, but they even speculated that Picking Moon Sword was the key to breaking through to Rank 1.
Although they haven't found out about me yet, at this rate, it's only a matter of time.
Damn it, this is too perverted!
The more Wei Changtian thought about it, the more frightened he became, and on the other side, Qingtai Elder finally finished speaking about the general situation at this time.
“Elders, this is what we are going to discuss this time.”
“In the past thousand years, we have tried many methods to break through to Rank 1, but you all know the results.”
“So this time, whether it's true or false, we must not miss the opportunity.”
“It's just that Qin Zhengqiu is now missing, and Zhuang Zhiming has sent people to search for him for several days but has not been able to find him.”
“Everyone, what do you think we should do next?”
“...”
The rolling black mist, like湧ing out from the abyss, wove a thick, dark, and terrifying net around the five people.
After Qingtai Elder finished speaking, the other four people, including Wei Changtian, were silent for a long time.
Until the elder standing on the Huangtai platform spoke:
“In my opinion, we can start by investigating the people around Qin Zhengqiu.”
“If he really has such strength, then it will undoubtedly be difficult to find out his whereabouts.”
“Even if we find him, perhaps Zhuang Zhiming will have no way to deal with him.”
“So it's better to first investigate his close associates, and maybe we can find some clues about that swordsmanship.”
Start by investigating the people around him.
Wei Changtian almost cursed when he heard the Huangtai Elder's suggestion.
However, what was even more explosive was yet to come.
The elder standing on the Baitai platform suddenly interrupted:
“What's the point of investigating? Just tie up all the important people in the Tianluo Sect, as well as his relatives and friends!”
“Tie up the people first, and then release the news to force Qin Zhengqiu to show himself.”
“If he doesn't show up, then kill them!”
“Kill one a day, I don't believe he can stand it!”
“...”
Obviously, this Baitai Elder was a grumpy old man.
His method was more direct, he actually wanted to use hostages to threaten Qin Zhengqiu.
And if Kuilong really prepared to do this, without a doubt, the first unlucky person would be Wei Changtian.
Damn it!
Wei Changtian glared fiercely at the Baitai Elder, wishing he could rush over and kick the latter off the stone platform.
Of course, everything now was just a virtual projection, and “kicking people away” was of course impossible.
But even if he could, he certainly wouldn't be crazy.
Trying to come up with a statement to deny this suggestion was the real deal.
“Cough, this matter is inappropriate.”
After a light cough, Wei Changtian deliberately retorted in a hoarse voice: “Not to mention whether Qin Zhengqiu will be threatened by this.”
“Even if he shows up because of this, are we sure we can force the secret of that swordsmanship out of his mouth?”
“This move will only make us forge a deep blood feud with him, and then not only will we not get the method to break through to Rank 1, but we will also face the revenge of a Rank 1 master at all times!”
“Everyone, don't forget what happened a thousand years ago...”
Speaking of which, Wei Changtian deliberately paused.
He deliberately mentioned Kuilong's internal strife a thousand years ago.
At that time, the two Rank 1 and True Immortals who suddenly appeared in the “Loyalist Faction” killed the “Surrender Faction” upside down, causing Kuilong's strength to instantly fall from its peak to the bottom.
Therefore, mentioning such a thing can not only once again “confirm” his identity, but also “deter” the other four, so that they dare not easily choose to solve the problem with violence.
“Humph! Then what do you say we should do?”
On the other side, facing Wei Changtian's rebuttal, the Baitai Elder's tone was very unkind: “What is the value of the method to break through to Rank 1! If we don't use some means, will that Qin Zhengqiu take the initiative to hand it over?!”
“That's naturally not the case.”
Wei Changtian's voice was calm: “But there are many kinds of means, I just think the one you said is not advisable.”
“You!”
The Baitai Elder was choked with anger, but after all, what Wei Changtian said did make sense, so he shut his mouth and said nothing more.
Instead, the Chitai Elder, who had not spoken all along, suddenly asked Wei Changtian.
“Black Elder, I wonder what you think we should do?”
Black Elder?
Is that what they call each other?
Wei Changtian reacted quickly and immediately responded in the same way:
“Chitai Elder, in my opinion, we can't be too hasty, we should take it slowly.”
“Kuilong has been established for thousands of years, why must we be in such a hurry at this time?”
“We can first let Zhuang Zhiming contact Qin Zhengqiu's close associates, but it should not be too tough, but should show some goodwill.”
“In this way, Qin Zhengqiu will naturally not be hostile to us, and may even take the initiative to show himself.”
“At that time, we can talk to him and offer him generous conditions, and then get the method to break through to Rank 1.”
“Isn't this better?”
“...”
Get along well and then negotiate.
Without a doubt, Wei Changtian's suggestions were full of “selfishness.”
And if the other four people really agree, then everything will be easy to handle next.
At least he doesn't have to worry about being suddenly kidnapped one day, and he doesn't have to face too much pressure from Kuilong.
On the contrary, he may even be able to use Kuilong's “goodwill” to give Ning Yongnian a blow to the head...
Most importantly, this statement sounds really reasonable at first glance.
But...
“Black Elder, is this your first time attending the Elder Council?”
After a moment of silence, the Chitai Elder suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
And this question also stunned Wei Changtian.
According to the inheritance rules of the Elder seat, if an Elder is about to die, then he should hand over the Kuilong token to a Kuilong person before his death, and inform the latter of the special technique for using the token to send messages, as well as the codes and other matters.
So, in theory, there will definitely be new people “entering” the Elder Council every once in a while.
As for why the Chitai Elder would suspect Wei Changtian...
Obviously, it should be that Wei Changtian's just now The habits and personality shown in his speech are quite different from the previous real “Black Elder”.
This is not a big problem, after all, he can completely admit that he has indeed just “inherited” the seat.
Of course, it would be best to hide it, but Wei Changtian really has no way to hide it.
He doesn't know what the personality of the previous “Black Elder” was, and it is impossible for him to remain silent in order to hide his identity.
And now that people have seen it, then...
“Chitai Elder.”
His tone was calm, and Wei Changtian did not show the slightest panic.
He was just about to admit that he had indeed just “inherited” the token not long ago, but at this moment, the voice of the remnant soul suddenly sounded one step ahead.
“Kid!”
“Don't answer!”
