Chapter 998: The Way Out

"According to the original plan, you will stay in the sect to guard the mountain gate during this period, and call all the disciples back."

"Our Qingfeng Sect is in the middle of Xia Kingdom. Even if the Earth Demon Sect attacks, our sect cannot bear the brunt."

"So I decided to wait and see first. If Lingxiaoguan retreats, then we don't have to resist. We can abandon the sect and escape. We won't be afraid of running out of firewood while leaving the green mountains."

"In addition, Master Xuanchengzi sent me a message just now, asking me to go there, maybe to plan the confrontation with the enemy. I want to go and see what he thinks first. If there is a good solution, I will be the first to do so. I’ll let you know when it’s time.”

Xuanchengzi replied immediately without thinking. It was obvious that he had already made a plan.

"Yes, senior brother."

Several people nodded when they heard this, but there was a look of loneliness in their eyes.

"Brother, even if our sect will not be the first to bear the brunt, once the war breaks out, the Earth Demon Sect will definitely send people to surround and suppress our Qingfeng Sect. Now that the Earth Star Sect has joined in, the enemy's comprehensive strength has surpassed our Xia Kingdom. Even if If the other party sends a small number of troops, we may not be able to defeat them, so what if we can't resist them?"

After Nan Lichen thought for a while, he asked with a worried look on his face.

"If this is the case, then we can only follow our previous plan and let Junior Brother Li take the core disciples to escape from our sect's secret passage. There is a hidden breath formation in the secret passage. As long as the other party does not send Nascent Soul Stage monks , will not discover this secret passage."

"As for me and the others, I will lead the other disciples to guard the mountain gate and delay time for Junior Brother Li. In the end, whether we can survive or not, let's leave it to fate!!!"

Xuandaozi was silent for a moment, and finally waved his hand and said, his eyes filled with helplessness.

When everyone heard this, they all looked helpless, but they didn't say anything and just nodded.

At this time, Li Ning's eyes showed sadness, but he also did not speak. After all, this had been decided before.

"Well, it's nothing. In order for our sect to continue its incense, it doesn't matter even if a few of us die in battle. But senior brother, you don't have to worry about whether junior brother Li can escape. You know, Nascent Soul Stage monks are not so easy to hire. , even if Old Demon Sikong found two of them, they would definitely accompany him to fight against Uncle Xuanchengzi, so how could he send one to deal with me, the Qingfeng Sect."

At this time, Nan Lichen spoke up, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

"I hope so!"

Xuandaozi nodded indifferently, then turned to look at Li Ning, chuckled and said:

"Junior Brother Li, if this really happens, the future of Qingfeng Sect will be left to you. When the time comes, I will hand over to you the resources and inheritance that the sect has accumulated over the past thousands of years. I hope you can lead your disciples to bring the sect to a new level. The door is reborn."

"Oh, by the way, after you lead your disciples to escape from the Xia Kingdom, I suggest you go somewhere far away to hide your name and stabilize yourself first. Try to find a small country to live in seclusion and don't conflict with the local forces. After you have established a firm foothold, It’s not too late to expand our power.”

While talking, Xuan Daozi looked like a father worried about his children being bullied when they went out, and he felt indescribably sad.

"Senior brother, I know, don't worry, I am not the kind of impulsive person. In order for the sect to continue, even if it is difficult, I will endure it and get through it."

Li Ning nodded sadly and said firmly.

"Haha, that's very good. You have always been steady and wise, so I feel safe leaving the sect to you. I concealed your promotion to the Golden Core Stage in the first place because I was afraid that this situation would happen now. This is also It’s my last step for Zongliu.”

"I didn't know there was a person like you in the Earth Demon Sect. As long as my junior brothers and I are killed in the battle, they will not continue to track your whereabouts. Then you can develop well."

"In addition, Junior Brother Li, don't forget that after you leave, you must leave marks along the road. When Chang Xi comes back and can't find anyone, she will follow the marks to look for you. She will meet you in the future. Yours The pressure can be relieved a lot.”

Xuandaozi nodded with satisfaction at first, and then gave a serious warning.

"Senior brother, don't worry, I know all this."

Li Ning nodded in agreement again. At this time, his eyes were already red.

After hearing the conversation between the two, several other people also looked lonely and felt extremely heavy.

"Haha, don't be pessimistic. These funeral arrangements are just preparations for the worst outcome. It is possible that our Xia Kingdom will win again this time, and we will naturally regain peace by then."

Seeing the depressed expressions of several people, Xuan Daozi suddenly chuckled, trying to adjust the atmosphere.

"Haha, yes, we may not be defeated. Let's not say whether the Earth Demon Sect will have Nascent Soul Stage monks to help. Even if there are, Master Xuanchengzi must have already made arrangements."

At this time, Che Chenzi also laughed, and some smiles returned to his face.

Hearing this, several other people also nodded and smiled.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that a few people are just forcing a smile.

"Who knew, how many years has it been since Junior Sister Chang Xi left this time?"

At this time, Nan Lichen changed the topic, looked at several people and asked.

"I remember it must have been seven years. After the war a hundred years ago, my junior sister's temperament changed drastically. She was worried every day. I never saw her smile. She also often left the sect for several years or even more than ten years. For a long time, I didn’t know what happened to her. I asked her the reason many times, but she never answered directly. "

Yun Fuzi shook his head, with a look of helplessness on his face.

The other people couldn't help but look at each other after hearing this, but didn't say anything. How could they not know about Chang Xi's change? They just had no choice.

"It doesn't matter if she doesn't come back. Now this girl doesn't know about the changes in Xia Kingdom. In this way, she can escape the disaster. This is what I want to see the most. But there should be other reasons for Chang Xi's departure this time. ?”

At this time, Xuan Daozi said something else.

Several other people couldn't help but be startled when they heard this, but soon, their eyes showed a look of surprise.

"Senior Brother, what you mean is that Junior Sister Chang Xi is hiding from that person? This is impossible! Didn't Senior Uncle Xuanchengzi come forward to settle this matter more than ten years ago? Why is Junior Sister still hiding from him?"

Yun Fuzi's eyes flickered, then he frowned and asked.

"It was indeed settled at that time, and the man also promised not to pester Chang Xi, but the other party is a Nascent Soul monk after all. Do you think he will really give up?"

"Actually, I could tell at that time that the man really admired the girl Chang Xi. I suspect that the reason why the man agreed was that, firstly, he did not want to break up with his uncle, and secondly, he wanted to leave a trace of goodwill in the heart of the girl Changxi. Then he pursues her with tenderness, and finally makes the girl willing to be his Taoist companion. "

"I think Chang Xi also saw this, so she ran out and hid. Of course, these are all my guesses and may not be true."

Xuanchengzi first sneered when he heard this, and then slowly told the story.
