Chapter 1572 You Can’t Die

Duan Yulin looked coldly at Lu Jidan who was blocking his way, and asked coldly: "Elder Lu, what does this mean?"

Lu Jidan said, "Elder Duan, I'm sorry! I've been ordered to stay here. No one is allowed to go up the mountain without the order of the chief elder. So, if Elder Duan must go up, please let the chief elder give the order!"

He bowed slightly and spoke humbly, but his tone was obviously very firm.

Although he didn't dare to call Pei Jinming at this time, he didn't dare to really let Duan Yulin go up.

Duan Yulin's eyebrows stood up, and he shouted: "Elder Lu, don't forget that I am also a member of the Elder Council!"

The whole mountain was shaken by this loud shout, and even the snow on the cliff was shaken and fell down.

Pi Yangyang, who had been hiding behind a huge rock, looked up the mountain quietly.

The sentries and guards on the mountain were obviously surprised and looked down the mountain.

His eyesight was already extraordinary, and the hillside was covered with snow and the moonlight was shining.

Although it cannot be said to be as bright as day, it hardly affects his vision.

Just when all the people at the checkpoint were distracted, Pi Yangyang flashed out from behind the boulder.

He used the protruding rocks on the hillside to hide his body and quickly reached the mountainside, only twenty meters away from the cave entrance that Duan Yulin mentioned.

His action did not alarm anyone on the mountain, but Duan Yulin saw it quietly.

Duan Yulin saw that Pi Yangyang had reached the mountainside, his eyes flashed, and he said angrily again: "Elder Lu, aren't you afraid of my anger?"

Lu Jidan was a little scared at first, but after a moment of silence, he suddenly straightened up and said loudly: "Elder Duan, if you want to get angry, there is nothing I can do! It is my duty to stop you. If Elder Duan insists on blaming me for the offense, I will accept the punishment at the meeting tomorrow!"

"So, you have to stop me?"

Duan Yulin glanced at the mountainside again, saw a figure flash, and then disappeared, then spoke in a cold tone.

"I'm sorry, Elder Duan!"

Lu Jidan gritted his teeth and said firmly.

Suddenly, Duan Yulin laughed out loud and patted Lu Jidan on the shoulder.

He said with admiration: "Elder Lu, I'm sorry! After all, during the conference, Jiuxuan Peak cannot afford any mistakes. I came here late at night just to see how the defense of this side peak is doing.

"Now it seems that Elder Lu has done a good job. This makes me feel relieved."

Lu Jidan was stunned by these words, and he stammered, "Elder Duan...what do you mean? Are you here to check our defenses?"

"What do you think?" Duan Yulin said lightly, "This side peak is a rule set by the Elders' Council. No one can go up there without the order of the chief elder. As the chief elder, how could I not know that?"

Lu Jidan then reached out to wipe the sweat off his forehead, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Elder Duan's momentum just now really scared me!"

"Well, with you guys here at the side peak, I have nothing to worry about. Sorry for disturbing you, bye!"

Duan Yulin said something politely and turned away.

Lu Jidan looked at Duan Yulin's back, smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "It is said that Elder Duan never cares about the affairs of the sect, but it seems... that is not really the case."

Seeing that Duan Yulin had gone far away, he said to the disciples at the sentry post: "Did you all see Elder Duan's test just now? Remember, be alert! If any accidents happen in the side peak, everyone will be severely punished!"

"Yes!"

All the disciples responded loudly and returned to their own checkpoints.

Lu Jidan also turned and walked towards a house on the mountainside.

…………

Following Duan Yulin's instructions, Pi Yangyang climbed up from the right side of the cliff.

Sure enough, all the checkpoints on the mountainside were attracted by Duan Yulin and no one noticed him.

He swam like a gecko to a place not far from the burning fire and looked forward.

I saw a platform protruding a few meters ahead, with a fire burning on the platform.

On the platform, two disciples of Jiuxuan Sect were standing, looking down the mountain.

"Is there anything wrong down the mountain? Is there someone breaking into the mountain?"

Duan Yulin's voice was clearly heard, and a disciple said in surprise.

"Impossible! With Elder Lu here, who would dare to go up the mountain?"

Another disciple immediately denied it.

Seeing that the two men's attention was completely on the mountain below, Pi Yangyang no longer hesitated, and with a flash of his body, he floated to the platform like a ghost.

Then he saw that there was indeed a dark hole behind the platform, but there was a faint glow of fire inside.

Without stopping for a moment, he flashed again and entered the cave.

"Ok?"

One of the disciples turned around in surprise, looked at the cave entrance and said, "Did you feel anything passing by just now?"

Another disciple turned around in surprise and asked in confusion, "What passed by? I didn't feel it. Are you hallucinating? Without the hanging basket we put down, who can get up here?"

The disciple smiled awkwardly, scratched his head and said, "Yes, even Elder Lu has to take a hanging basket to get up."

At this time, the mountain was quiet.

Seeing that everything was safe and there was nothing exciting to see, the two men retreated, sat by the fire and continued drinking.

Pi Yangyang entered the cave and adjusted himself to the environment. He waited until he could vaguely see the scenery inside before he walked inside silently.

The cave was obviously artificially constructed, with a small path extending deep into the cave.

There is a torch every ten meters or so on the wall of the cave. Although it is not very bright, with Pi Yangyang's eyesight, he can see the surrounding environment clearly.

The cave is not big, it is winding and extends upwards.

After walking nearly 500 meters, a rude voice suddenly came from the front: "Pei Jinming, you bastard! Kill us if you have the guts! Who do you think you are to imprison us here?"

As he was shouting, there was also the sound of dragging chains, which was very harsh in the cave.

"Brother Qi, you should save your energy. No matter how much you shout, Pei Jinming won't be able to hear you."

Then, an old voice was heard, and the tone seemed full of helplessness and vicissitudes.

"Lu Jidan said yesterday that tomorrow is the Jiuxuan Sect's general meeting. Pei Jinming has always wanted to control the entire Jiuxuan Sect and become the new Jiuye of Jiuxuan Sect. Therefore, at tomorrow's general meeting, he will definitely eliminate dissidents. And we are the ones he uses to establish his authority."

After a moment, another voice sounded.

"Elder Han, Pei Jinming has evil intentions. Why didn't you see that at the beginning?"

The man surnamed Qi suddenly asked.

"It's not that I didn't see it, I just thought he wouldn't attack us. After all, it was Jiu Ye who saved him that year, so he was able to survive..."

The old voice sighed and spoke slowly.

Listening to the discussion of these three people, Pi Yangyang was certain in his heart that they were the missing Han Chuhan and the other two great elders.

"I can't accept dying at the hands of that bastard! I can't accept it..."

The man surnamed Qi suddenly cried out in grief.

At this moment, Pi Yangyang turned over and saw a scene that shocked him greatly.

A huge iron cage was hanging in the air, with iron bars as thick as a child's arm hung by four thick iron chains. Under the iron cage was a huge pool of water.

Pi Yangyang looked up at the three people trapped in the iron cage and said in a deep voice: "You can't die!"
