Chapter 667 The Secret of the Selection
Three thousand miles west of the main city in the west, the three hall masters of the Central Temple, Ningkong stood.
The third hall master was still wearing a black robe embroidered with blue and white lightning, and the second hall master was also wearing a dark red cloak covered with black dark clouds... The main hall master looked like a young man in his twenties, with a very ordinary appearance, with only those eyes that seemed to be soaked in blood.
He was wearing a pure white cloak, and there were faint red stripes on the bottom corner. Looking closely, it seemed that his blood was churning upwards, which was even more strange than the outfits of the other two hall masters.
"It's amazing. I've chased after two thousand miles, but I can't find their whereabouts. Could it be that our previous judgment was wrong and they did not escape from the ground!" The third hall master looked at the mountains below, with lightning flashing in his eyes, and his expression was a little confused.
"Impossible! Looking at the clues in the underground cave, the other party must have the skills to practice the earth, otherwise it would be difficult to avoid the searches of so many people before..." The second hall master said in a deep voice.
The destruction of Shenwu Hall and Yinyue Tower made him extremely angry, and there was a hint of anger in his tone.
"Hmph!" The third hall master sneered and glanced at the second hall master. Although the other party's approach of raising bandits to restrain his temple guards made him feel uncomfortable, it is urgent to capture Shui Linglong and Xia Zhanhong now, so he did not argue with the second hall master, but turned to look at the main hall master.
"Master of the Hall, would they use the method of hiding the trace to escape... We have been following the north and south, staring at the underground for more than two thousand miles..." The third palace master asked in a low voice.
The main hall master shook his head: "It shouldn't be! With Shui Linglong's cultivation level, even if he uses the hidden and hidden method, he cannot avoid the searches of many martial kings before! It is certain that they use the earthly technique to sneak underground. We have never had her, so we may have neglected a problem..."
The main hall master's voice was slow and seemed extremely calm. His old voice seemed out of place with his young face, which was extremely strange.
"What are we neglecting?" The third palace master frowned and asked softly.
"Their speed... we always thought that Shui Linglong had insufficient cultivation, and even if she was led by Xia Zhanhong and the Golden-Devouring Sable, she would not be too fast... In fact, we were all confused by the illusion that she had only run out of five hundred miles in a few days! When we searched slowly in the past two days, they might have walked tens of thousands of miles..." As the main hall spoke, the scarlet waves in his eyes swayed, and the whole sky seemed to be shaking.
"Ten Thousands of Miles!" The Third Palace Master and the Second Palace Master were stunned, and their eyes glared at the same time.
"Then what should we do now!" The second hall master frowned. If the other party had really walked tens of thousands of miles, then the search would not make much sense. He would not be able to catch up at all.
"It's too late to search now. Let's take people to the northwest to block the two sides!" The main hall master said in a deep voice: "No need to mention the importance of Shui Linglong. Xia Zhanhong is here this time. We must keep his life no matter what..."
The third hall master pondered for a moment and said, "The main hall master, Tianyan Mountain has many rocks, and the earth-moving technique is not very effective, and the endless sand sea is different. They can give full play to their advantages... I estimate that 99% of them will walk through the endless sand sea!"
"I think it's better for us to concentrate the three of us and block the endless sea of sand. This way, we can spend less time surveillance and search. If we divide the troops into two groups, the time we search will be greatly increased... The Lord of the Hall, the Saint Lord, should be about to wake up!"
The main hall master looked at the third hall master, pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Although the endless sea of sand is beneficial to them to play their advantages, Tianyan Mountain is the real place to save lives. Once you enter the realm of the innate handsome monster, Qingqiu can feel the fluctuations, so we should take care of both sides..."
"Also! The Third Palace Master... Lord Saint has woken up!" The Lord said this, and the Third Palace Master and the Second Palace Master exclaimed at the same time. His eyebrows were raised and his eyes widened.
"Master of the Hall! The Saint Lord woke up and the selection began, but neither of us knew..." The third hall master said coldly. Anger appeared on his face. If Hou Dongsheng was selected, he would have made a great contribution, but now...
The main hall master smiled faintly and said, "It's not that I won't tell you, but that the Saint had already determined the candidate before he woke up before one month!"
"How to determine the candidate before the Saint Lord has not woken up... Besides, the Saint Lord has never seen all the selected ones..."
"Have you forgotten the blood crystal left by the Holy Lord? Not only does it contain half of the Saint's blood, but also a trace of his consciousness... He knows the specific situation of the selection personnel this time..."
As he said that, the main hall master looked at the third hall master deeply and said in a deep voice: "Actually, Hou Dongsheng is not the best candidate..."
"Impossible..." The third hall master suddenly raised his voice: "Among all selected people, his strength and potential are the highest!"
"Yes, he has the highest potential, but he is not suitable!" The main hall master slowly exhaled and said, "Hou Dongsheng has been training outside for five years. After he came back, he destroyed the Duan family and trapped the city lord. Later, his cultivation level soared. In order to attract your attention, he used the maid's affairs to kill the Huang family and kill Xue Bao. Later, he was chased by the imperial level for millions of miles and was able to escape safely..."
"This person is not only firm in his heart, but also has great perseverance, but also resourceful! His vigilance is not something you give him a beautiful woman, and let him relax after taking his maid for a while... The most important thing is that this person's luck is really unpredictable, and even the Saint Lord is a little taboo! If he can't win, then..."
When the third hall master heard this, his expression changed one after another. After a while, he shook his head with regret: "What the Saint Lord said is very true. With Hou Dongsheng's alertness and determination, it is really unpredictable whether he can successfully take over the body... It's just a pity that his potential!"
"Nothing a pity!" The main hall master smiled and said lightly: "I suggested to the Saint Lord that Hou Dongsheng could be trained into a portable puppet... The Saint Lord said that he would make it by himself at that time. If it succeeds, he will still remember a great merit for you!"
"Oh!" The third hall master went all out of haze, and immediately smiled, bowed and said, "Thank you, the main hall master, for helping you say something..."
The main hall master waved his hand and said softly: "Don't think too much about the selection of people this time! The reason why the Saint Lord determined the candidate in advance was because the person agreed to be taken over by the body, he could completely relax his mind and consciousness, without any conflict or resistance, and the Saint Lord's consciousness could not be affected at all!"
"So that's it!" Hearing the main hall master's explanation, the second and third hall masters nodded suddenly.
"Okay! Let's divide our troops quickly and stop Xia Zhanhong and the others..." When the hall master was about to determine how to distribute it, a slight fluctuation suddenly came from the southern sky.
"Yeah!" The three of them were stunned, and at the same time, they looked up and saw seven large stars shining in the distance, covering the entire starry sky.
"Seven-star fireworks! Someone broke into the forbidden area I set..." The second hall master was slightly stunned, and then exclaimed in a low voice: "Remaining Picture!"
"This person can break into the second hall master's ban, which must be the strength of Emperor Wu..." As he spoke, the bloody energy in the eyes of the main hall master rose and said gloomyly: "Xia Zhanhong! Now the Central Temple has the power of the emperor, only Xia Zhanhong... He used his skills to lure the tiger away from the mountain. We all thought you were here to save Shui Linglong, but unexpectedly you came for the residual picture!"
"If he can break into the forbidden area of the Second Palace Master, my cave may not be able to stop him..." The Third Palace Master shouted and said quickly: "Let's go back immediately, maybe there is still time to block him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the third hall master was about to leave. The second hall master was more anxious than him and wanted to return immediately.
"Wait!" Sancai suddenly spoke and stopped the two of them: "We want to leave one person behind and continue to intercept Shui Linglong! Xia Zhanhong is no longer by his side, which is definitely a good opportunity!"
"Xia Zhanhong can kill Sancai and break the imperial-level mechanism. He has great strength... If he is determined to escape and intercept them, he may..." The third hall master hesitated a little.
The main hall master said, "Don't worry! Xia Zhanhong can't run away. Since he is here for the broken picture, he must enter the temple. The blood exchange of the Saint Lord is almost completed...
"Oh!" The third hall master flashed with lightning in his eyes, and he nodded and said, "There are two directions in total, where do I want to block it!"
"Tianyan Mountain! Give up the endless sea of sand and go to Tianyan Mountain to guard it! Let's set off immediately!" The main hall master said decisively, stood up with the second hall master, and two streams of light flew towards the central main city.
Immediately afterwards, the Third Palace Master also set out toward Tianyan Mountain...
At this time, Xia Zhanhong had no idea what was going on outside, and was walking through silently and soundly in the dark central temple.
Through the search of the book page, the structure of the entire central temple was shown, and Xia Zhanhong felt relieved. He was really afraid that like the courtyard of the second hall, there would be mechanisms everywhere, so he could not check it at all.
Through the picture in my mind, Xia Zhanhong locked two places, and only these two places could not be displayed in the entire hall. These two locations were actually coherent. In other words, only by passing the first one can we reach the second location.
"If the residual image exists, it must be in the second position!" Xia Zhanhong made a judgment and moved forward quickly. He quickly arrived at the first position, which was the main hall where the three hall masters usually discussed.
As soon as he approached, Xia Zhanhong felt a bloody aura surge from all directions, as if compressing the space and applying a huge force to himself.
The moment the bloody pressure appeared, Xia Zhanhong's body felt a strange feeling. The pressure was squeezing the body from all directions, but the blood in his body seemed to be pumping out by a huge suction force, as if it was about to spray out immediately.
"Hmph!" Xia Zhanhong shouted deeply, and the muscles in his body contracted and swelled, and a breath suddenly swept open. The nine-turn silk was twisted, and the muscles and bones in his body were whirling together, making waves of muffled thunder sounds. The blood rushes like a river, making a squeak, and it suddenly gets rid of the suction force.
"Bang!" Xia Zhanhong stomped on the ground with one foot, the entire hall trembled, and his body rushed forward like an arrow.
And just as he rushed forward, a bloody mist suddenly appeared in the hall...
