Chapter 392 The Old Man Zhou
In front of the old man surnamed Yan and others, there were three people standing. These three people were an old man, a middle-aged man, and a woman.
The old man had a sallow face and was wearing a black robe. He had white and black hair, a hooked nose, slender eyes, and black lips. He was a monk in the middle stage of the Golden Core.
The middle-aged man and woman were just two foundation-building monks, and they were standing behind the old man at the moment.
I saw the old man facing the old man surnamed Yan and others, smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said:
"Welcome fellow Taoists to Earth Demon Sect."
The man and woman behind him also quickly bowed and saluted.
The old man surnamed Yan and the other five people looked gloomy and did not return the greeting. It was not known whether it was because no one from the Earth Demon Sect came to rescue them, or because he was in a bad mood because the Corpse Refining Sect was destroyed today.
The old man surnamed Yan said coldly:
"Fellow Taoist Tai, where is Taoist Huyan?"
"Haha, my senior brother Huyan is waiting for you in the cave."
The old man was not angry when he saw the attitude of several people, but smiled again.
"So, your demon sect has been waiting for us?"
After hearing this, the old man surnamed Yan's voice became even colder.
"You don't have to be angry, Fellow Daoist Yan, I know what you want to ask. To be honest, it's not that our Demon Sect doesn't want to send troops to support us, it's just that our Demon Sect is also facing many difficulties now and we can't help ourselves."
"Fellow Daoist Yan, you also know that at this time, outside our Demon Sect sect, the coalition forces have already surrounded my entire mountain gate with water, and our Demon Sect army cannot leave at all."
"Moreover, if we old guys leave through the teleportation array, the coalition forces will definitely take this opportunity to attack our Zongshan Gate. In this case, there is really nothing we can do."
"But having said that, even if a few people like me go to support through the teleportation array, we may not be able to kill those people. According to the report, the people who led the team to your Corpse Refining Sect this time are Master Qingyang and He Liantian and more than a dozen people, so we can only guard the mountain gate according to our own abilities."
The old man surnamed Tai may have thought of his words a long time ago and explained before the other party could blame him.
After hearing this, the old man surnamed Yan looked a little uncertain, but in the end he said nothing.
At this time, the man named Chu snorted coldly:
"Didn't Fellow Daoist Huyan say that the people from your main sect will arrive soon? Why haven't they arrived yet? Do you know that our Corpse Refining Sect has been destroyed today?"
When the old man surnamed Tai heard this, he turned to look at the man surnamed Chu. He didn't care about his tone and said calmly:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, why would I, my senior brother Huyan, lie to you? What good does this do to us? To be honest, we also hope that the people from the general sect will arrive as soon as possible, because the next target of the coalition forces is our Demon Sect."
"Then why haven't you come yet? What's the difference between this and lying to us?" The man surnamed Chu asked again in a cold voice.
"Alas! According to the news from the support team of the main sect, they will indeed arrive in a few days. To be honest, I didn't expect that you would only persist for such a short time. At that time, I really thought it would be too late. . So, I can only regret it. But when the crisis is over, we, the Demon Sect, will definitely help you rebuild the mountain sect."
The old man named Tai first sighed, explained to him, and then assured him.
The man surnamed Chu wanted to say something more after hearing this, but at this time the old man surnamed Yan interrupted his words with a wave of his arm, and then said in a cold voice:
"Okay, there's no need to say anything else. Fellow Taoist Tai, please take me to see Fellow Taoist Huyan."
"Haha, okay, please come this way!"
The old man surnamed Tai smiled slightly when he heard this, stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and then led the people outside.
The five people from the Corpse Refining Sect also followed closely behind.
………………………
On the small island below the deep stream of the Earth Demon Gate, there is an extremely luxurious hall. On the plaque on the top of the hall, there are three large black and gold characters of "Earth Demon Palace" written on it.
At this moment, there are two people sitting on chairs in the main hall, and these two people are also old men.
One of the old men is sitting on the main seat. He is as skinny as wood, with long hair shawl, his eyes are faintly flashing red light, his face is dark, and he is wearing a soap robe. His cultivation is actually a golden elixir. The late peak monk.
Another old man is sitting at his elbow. He is slightly fat, has a rosy complexion, and has white hair and a white beard. He is wearing a starry gown. The most eye-catching thing about him is his eyes, which are very bright. , as if he could see through everything. His cultivation level is that of a middle-stage Jindan monk.
Although this old man's cultivation level is not as high as the former one, the old man in the top position is very respectful to him.
The old man in the top position smiled slightly and said:
"Senior Brother Zhou, you have worked really hard in the past few years. In a few days, the people from our Earth Demon Sect will arrive. By then, the teleportation array you have worked so hard to set up will be complete. Once this is over, You can then return to the main sect through the teleportation array."
The old man surnamed Zhou who was in the next position also smiled slightly and said:
"Junior Brother Huyan, you are welcome. I am also here under the order of my ancestor. Now that the teleportation array is almost complete, I have completed my mission."
"Haha, what Senior Brother Zhou said is absolutely true, but having said that, although my ancestors love me and want my branch to flourish, without the help of Senior Brother Zhou, the formation master, our Demon Sect would not be able to exist. of this opportunity.”
The old man above again bowed and thanked the old man surnamed Zhou.
"Brother Huyan, you are too polite to say that. If it weren't for the ancestor who saved my life, I wouldn't be alive today. Of course, in order to repay the favor, I also joined the Earth Demon Sect as a guest elder, but since I am a member of the Earth Demon Sect, I should do these things."
The old man surnamed Zhou stretched out his hand to stroke his beard and said with a smile on his face.
"Haha, Brother Zhou is indeed a man who values friendship and loyalty. The ancestor really didn't misjudge you." The old man Huyan smiled slightly and complimented.
The old man surnamed Zhou smiled and shook his head upon hearing this. He stopped being polite with the other party and changed the subject and said:
"By the way, Junior Brother Huyan, are you sure that the ancestor really found a piece of "Empty Spirit Stone"?
"Don't worry, Senior Brother Zhou. According to the news, a senior brother of our sect did get the "Empty Spirit Stone" at an auction and has asked the support team to bring it. This is absolutely true." The old man Huyan promised solemnly.
"That's good, that's good. Now this long-distance teleportation array only needs the last piece of "Empty Spirit Stone" to be completed. Unfortunately, when I came here, the sect really didn't find this "Empty Spirit Stone". Otherwise, this teleportation array would not have been delayed until today and has not been completed."
After getting confirmation, the old man surnamed Zhou slowly exhaled.
"Alas! There is nothing we can do about it. The "Empty Spirit Stone" is such a rare thing that it is too difficult to find." The old man Huyan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
