"Lu Cang..."

In Wuliang Palace, Master Wen Yuan looked at the vague figure and let out a long sigh of regret.

Thanks to the fact that the elders of the four major mountain towns also came to Silver Sword Peak to see the iron-eating beast, they just happened to see this scene, otherwise the juniors would definitely not recognize this figure.

But people of the older generation can recognize it at a glance.

At this time, one hundred and fifty years have passed since Lu Cang disappeared and Wen Yuan came to power. If his peers did not deliberately maintain their appearance, they would all look old.

But he still had the same middle-aged face as when he left Shushan, but his face lacked the original unruliness and vigor, and was full of that cold expression.

"The person who broke into the Jiuli secret realm must be Lu Cang." Elder Chuanjian looked at Master Wen Yuan, hesitated to speak, and finally turned into a sigh: "Alas."

Mr. Tan and Master Feng, the emperor's daughter, were also standing in the hall together. Looking at the complicated attitudes of the senior officials of Shushan, they couldn't help but wonder, does this intruder seem to have some relationship with the people of Shushan?

Is there some conspiracy in this?

But before he could think clearly, he heard Elder Silu turn around and say: "Old Tan, we have some private matters that we want to talk about in our mountain sect, so please stay away for a moment. Don't worry, we Shushan will never plot anything about Jiuli Secret Realm. We will

We can discuss how to cooperate with each other later."

Mr. Tan looked at her and then at Master Wen Yuan. He felt that something big was going to happen, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

When he went out, Elder Silu looked at the emperor's daughter Feng again and whispered: "Afeng, go out and watch him, don't let him leave secretly."

Although Shushan does not have any harmful intentions, there is no guarantee that Mr. Tan will not make unnecessary speculations, so he still needs to be careful.

Emperor Feng had no doubt that she had it, so she chuckled: "I think this old man has long been dissatisfied. Don't worry, he can't run away as long as I'm here!"

After that, the emperor's daughter Feng also walked out.

Only the senior officials of Shushan and Chu Liang were left in the room. Elder Si Lu glanced at Chu Liang again. Chu Liang immediately stood up and said: "Disciple, I promise not to look around or talk nonsense, and to keep my mouth shut."

After all, he is not the kind of idiot player who can leave with any excuse. He can tell that the atmosphere is not right. It is obvious that a big secret is about to be revealed, and he does not want to miss it at this time.

If it were an ordinary disciple, he would definitely be kicked out, but this was Chu Liang, so several elders acquiesced.

Immediately afterwards, Elder Si Lu turned around, stared at Master Wen Yuan, and said slowly: "Headmaster, we have never asked more about what happened in Shenxu back then. You said that Lu Cang was in Shenxu?"

When you disappeared, you said that the previous headmaster did not allow you to say anything, so we all believed it. Because we believe in your character and your abilities."

"Over the years, you have indeed lived up to our trust."

"But now that Lu Cang appears again, shouldn't you give us an explanation?" Elder Si Lu said in a very calm tone, "No matter what happened back then, if you tell the truth, we will have no explanation. It's just that if he is still alive

, we should find him, although his son is unworthy, I believe that he himself will never betray Shushan."

Several generations of the Lu family have made great contributions to Shushan. Master Lu Yu and Master Wuqi all dedicated their lives, especially Master Wuqi. Without the foundation he laid, Shushan would still exist today.

, it is absolutely impossible to survive, and it is impossible to maintain the glory of the Nine Heavens.

Lu Cang, who is of the same generation as the elders present, has also inherited the outstanding talents of the Lu family. However, through the light of his ancestors, he was honored and favored when he was young. It is inevitable that he has a somewhat arrogant temper, and he was able to show off his talents at that time.

Even though Master Wuqi had repeatedly shown his respect for the calm and mature Wen Yuan at that time, Lu Cang was still not convinced. He believed that the only reason why he lost to Wen Yuan was that he was a member of the Lu family, and both his grandfather and father were wary of it.

Overall, I don't want Shushan to become a hereditary fairy sect.

So he raised his banner at that time and also attracted many elders and disciples who supported him. Including the four major Zhenshan elders present, not all of them were from the Wenyuan camp at that time.

Then Master Wuqi took the two of them to Shenxu. Three of them left and one returned.

Wen Yuan became Shushan's only choice. For a long time, he was the only Tianyuan strongman that the Shushan sect could produce. Therefore, there were doubts even from the top of Shushan, but in the end they all firmly supported Master Wen Yuan. For

If he didn't tell what happened in the Divine Ruins, no one would dare to ask.

Shushan has indeed prospered under his leadership in recent years.

But the older generation still has deep feelings for the Lu family, including Wen Yuan himself. The last time Lu Chengqiu caused such trouble, part of the reason why he was able to escape smoothly was because none of the older generations actually died.

I just wanted to capture him alive.

Now that Lu Cang is still alive, things are different.

Regarding the truth back then, Master Wen Yuan must give an explanation.

…

"Master warned me not to reveal a word about what happened back then." After hearing Master Yuan's silence for a long time, he leaned back slightly, raised his eyes to look at the crowd, and said loudly: "But now that Lu Cang has appeared, I

After all, I have to give you an explanation... I owe you this."

The face of the protector elder today was like that of a child. He said clearly: "We are all approaching our final years. If there is anything wrong, we can just go down and explain it to Master Wuqi in the future."

Elder Dan Ding smiled when he heard this, "Yes, if you don't say anything, I might have to wait for Master Wu Qi to explain it to me."

The atmosphere became a little more relaxed, and Master Wen Yuan said again: "It was indeed a trial when Master took us into the Divine Ruins, but that trial was not presided over by him."

Everyone gathered around the table in Wuliang Palace and listened to Master Yuan tell the story of the past.

Back then, Lu Cang and Wen Yuan were no longer young people. They had already been famous for many years and were at the peak of the seventh realm. When the opportunity came, they might take charge of Tianyuan at any time.

The aging Master Wuqi took them to a secret place in the Shen Ruins, where there were no hidden murderous intentions, no rampant ancient ferocious beasts, and only a mysterious man in Taoist robes.

Wen Yuan remembered that the man had dark skin, a plain appearance, and a deathly look on his face, very similar to Lu Cang today.

"This is the best seed for cultivating immortals in Shushan?" When he saw the two of them, there was no trace of fluctuation in his eyes.

"Is that enough?" Master Wuqi replied.

At this moment, the headmaster of Shushan is dressed in white robes. His face is old but his eyes are clear and full of immortal spirit. There is no trace of his flying and jumping spirit when he was young. He is completely like an old immortal who has achieved enlightenment and detachment.

"It's not as good as you." The mysterious Taoist said in an indifferent tone: "If you had followed me back then, you wouldn't be like this today."

"Shushan needs me..." Master Wuqi said leisurely, "Stop talking and let's get started."

The conversation between the two of them left Wen Yuan and Lu Cang confused, but upon hearing this sentence, they knew that the trial was about to begin.

The mysterious Taoist priest raised his hand and pulled out a tall black copper cauldron out of thin air. It fell to the ground with a crash! The mysterious patterns engraved around the cauldron seemed to be flowing and changing all the time, and seemed to be composed of countless Taoist rhymes.

Even with the cultivation level of the two of them at that time, just looking at them would make them feel dizzy.

Just looking at this rhyme, this cauldron should be among the top ten artifacts in Wanbaolu, but the two of them have never heard the name of this artifact.

"Come in!" the mysterious Taoist shouted, and black and white divine light suddenly shot out from the cauldron, sucking Wen Yuan and Lu Cang in. The two people also subconsciously resisted, but they had no strength to struggle.

The last sound they heard was the condescending words from the mysterious Taoist priest, "Whoever comes out first will win."

Wen Yuan felt that he was deep into a Sumeru illusion. Where he landed was a pure white empty land with nothingness in all directions. When he was in it, he immediately felt a huge sense of suffocation.

If an ordinary person fell into this realm of nothingness, they would probably suffocate and die if they could not hold on for a moment. Wen Yuan used his spiritual consciousness to scan this boundless realm of nothingness, and found that the rhythm of the Tao was flowing in it, which was consistent with the Tao that he majored in.

Hongmeng!

He closed his eyes and focused his mind, quietly comprehending the Taoist rhymes around him, and finally found an invisible intersecting place in the void world. That was the only way out.

Wen Yuan leaned in and immediately left the void, but what he came to was indeed another, more empty place. It was still void, and the difficulty for him to find the exit increased dozens of times.

He traveled from realm to realm like this, sometimes staying in one realm for a long time. He could not see the sun and moon in the cauldron, and he felt that he might have stayed there for thousands of years. As he traveled back and forth again and again, he gradually became involved in the journey.

Understand the true meaning of Hongmeng.

At this moment, as long as he has enough spiritual energy to communicate with Daoyun between heaven and earth, he will be able to take charge of Tianyuan immediately.

Finally, after an unknown number of years, when he once again traveled through the rift in space and left, he suddenly saw light in his eyes.

That is the sunshine that belongs to the outside world.

call out--

Wen Yuan's body landed on the flat ground, and he already felt as if he was in another world. There was only the immortal master around, and there was no other figure.

The mysterious Taoist priest and Lu Cang have both disappeared.

"Wen Yuan." Master Wuqi stared deeply into his eyes, "From today on, you are the headmaster of Shushan. Thousands of years of glory will be on your shoulders from now on."

"Master..." Wen Yuan looked hesitantly, "Did I win?"

"No." Master Wuqi shook his head and said, "You lost."

Wen Yuan looked in that distant direction, Lu Cang had won? But why was he the one who became the leader of Shushan?

Master Wuqi seemed to see his doubts and said: "Lu Cang went to another place and he also wanted to complete his mission for Shushan. When you go back, don't mention a word about the things here. Just say that he was lost in

Just stay in the ruins of the gods."

"I said?" Wen Yuan's eyes moved, "Master, you..."

"Didn't I say it?" Master Wuqi smiled freely, "I came to Shenxu to explore the sacred relics. I still want to take a chance on my few lifespan. I have already gone to Shushan

The road has been paved for you, no matter who goes back, they will give their full support, Wen Yuan..."

Master Wuqi suddenly pressed Wen Yuan's shoulders and spoke his last words of instruction.

"Even if there are nine deaths in this world, there is still life. If there is danger in Shushan in the future, remember to live as long as your heart is alive."

…

There was silence for a while after Master Wen Yuan finished speaking.

Still Master Si Lv said: "So until the end, you didn't know where Lu Cang went?"

"Over the past hundred years, I have actually done some research and made some guesses..." Master Wen Yuan said: "Although I am not sure, I should be close to ten."

"What?" Elder Chuanjian asked.
