Is this big shot in the rebel army, who we had a close relationship with, also interested in Cheng Ai?
There are actually forces that may sneak into the disciples participating in the trial. This energy is not small, and it may bring many twists and turns to his plan.
"Ren Yin and Chou Huang didn't alert the enemy, did they?"
Gu Chen asked with concern, none of the forces that could break into the interior despite the high security of Jiange were simple and could not be careless in the slightest.
Especially the rebels. Although on the surface he had a cooperative relationship with the rebels, Gu Chen didn't want to have anything to do with them when it came to rescuing Cheng Ai.
"We are just observing in secret at the moment. The captured rebel spies have been put back and have become our spies. They are waiting for your further instructions on how to do this."
Song Jicheng replied via voice message.
Gu Chen made a decision in his mind, thought about it for a moment, and said: "Just hold your troops back! Let these people do whatever they want, it's not appropriate to make any more changes now."
Gu Chen's goal is only to take Cheng Ai away. Even though these people may bring some changes, he believes that he is enough to deal with any accidents.
What's more, Jianzu is not a vegetarian. God knows how much he knows about these secret spies. Maybe these people are the bait he deliberately sent out. If he moves, he will fall for the bait.
He had already laid out the entire plan in advance, taking the lead step by step. Before these people could react, he took Cheng Ai away and flew away!
…
The day of the Sword Tomb Trial has finally come.
Just the night before, Gu Chen also successfully transferred sufficient secret energy into Chu Meixin's body.
This power can be used by Chu Meixin to help her stand out in the secret trial. She can ignore time and space at critical moments and help her and Cheng Ai escape from the sword pavilion.
Early in the morning, Yan Shiliu came to invite him. This was the first time that Gu Chen left the small courtyard where he was imprisoned since he came to Jiange.
Their destination is the Sword Tomb behind the Sword Pavilion and the Refining Hall. This is a semi-enclosed secret realm. Part of it is the residence of the Sword Ancestor, and the other part has been sealed for a long time. It is the place for this trial.
The Sword Tomb is shrouded in fog all year round. When Yan Shiliu and Gu Chen arrived outside the barrier, the elders of the Sword Pavilion also arrived one after another.
They each brought their own disciples who they were proud of. These disciples were the future and hope of Jiange. The trial they were about to participate in was also related to their future status and treatment in the sect.
Chu Meixin is undoubtedly very special among the true disciples.
In terms of qualifications, she had just been promoted to true biography. It is said that the reason why she was promoted to true biography was because of the relationships with the people around her.
Therefore, after meeting her, most of the true disciples did not regard her as an opponent, and even felt vaguely disdainful in their hearts.
More of their attention fell on Gu Chen, the young patriarch of the Chen clan who has been in the limelight recently.
It is said that during the Taoist meeting, he chopped off the arm of the Holy King Litian, who was ranked sixth on the legend list, with one sword stroke. His talent was extremely evil!
If such a proud man of heaven also participates in the trial, he will undoubtedly be their biggest competitor.
Fortunately, according to the teachers, Chen Yunfei will not participate in the trial.
To put it bluntly, no matter how talented Chen Yunfei is, he is just a hostage in his sword pavilion and cannot help himself.
When Jiange and the Chen clan break up, Chen Yunfei is more likely to be the first to die, with a fate like that of duckweed...
Thinking of this, many true disciples looked at Gu Chen with more sympathy and less fear.
"No matter how famous you are, what's the use? If you don't become the hostage of my sword pavilion in the end?"
"The mere Chen clan dares to dream of sharing the Mu Dynasty with our Jiange. It will only be a matter of time before they are defeated."
"It's a pity that Junior Sister Chu, who was born so beautiful and fragrant, got the advantage of Chen Yunfei."
The disciples were talking secretly, Gu Chen stood expressionless and stood with his hands behind his back, while Chu Meixin also looked unfazed.
After a while, the weapon refiners from the weapon refining hall also came.
Some outstanding and potential weapon refiners have also been allowed to enter the secret realm for trial, and their status in the Jiange is no less than that of the True Masters.
Gu Chen took a quick glance and immediately confirmed that Cheng Ai was not among these people.
It's almost time and Cheng Ai hasn't arrived yet. Is there any accident?
Gu Chen felt a little worried, but Yan Liuliu saw that the people were almost there, so he took the lead and walked towards the depths of the mist of the Sword Tomb.
The fog retreated to both sides as everyone moved forward, and broken magical weapons appeared from time to time on the roads on both sides.
These weapons were stuck upside down on the ground. Most of them were rusty and had no power at all. They looked ancient and vicissitudes of life.
The road went up, and everyone felt that they were going up a hillside, with an arch standing in front of them.
The arch is covered with Dao marks, and behind the door is a cliff, which is empty, but there is an aura of desolation inside.
There is a pool of water about a hundred feet in front of the door. In the pavilion beside the pool, Jianzu is holding bait in his hand and sprinkles it into the pool from time to time, attracting the koi in the pool to rush towards it.
Behind him, there were two other people, a kind-looking dwarf and a slovenly man with a muscular build!
"See our ancestors."
Many elders and disciples of the Jiange Pavilion saluted one after another, but Gu Chen only leaned forward slightly, with a smile on his face, and his eyes were fixed on the strong man!
A sense of familiarity arose spontaneously. Even though the other party was pretending, Gu Chen was still sure at this moment.
Cheng Ai is indeed the dwarf emperor!
It turns out that Cheng Ai entered the Sword Tomb one step ahead, and this kind of treatment is really not low.
Gu Chen looked at the dwarf. This man's appearance was somewhat similar to that of the dwarves. Judging from his position, he seemed to be closely related to Cheng Ai.
Gu Chen naturally thought of the description of Cheng Ai in the intelligence. After entering the weapon refining hall, he encountered the cultivation of a Bole.
This dwarf is presumably Grandmaster Di, right?
The dwarf emperor who once opposed the weaponization of the crystal core secret method is now making magic boxes for Jiange. Gu Chen has always been curious about the ins and outs of this.
Judging from all the clues, it may have a lot to do with Grandmaster Di.
"Everyone is here, let's start."
The Sword Ancestor was taciturn and casually fired a sword light into the arch.
Suddenly, the arch seemed to be activated, ripples appeared in the space, and slowly turned into a whirlpool!
The secret realm was opened, and many true disciples showed excitement. They had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
"Thank you Sword Ancestor for making it possible."
Cheng Ai was neither humble nor arrogant, and suddenly he raised his hand towards Sword Ancestor, who rarely showed a gentle look. "I wish you success."
Without saying a word, Cheng Ai turned around and was the first to step into the secret realm without any hesitation.
Seeing that he was moving, others scrambled to enter the secret realm under the instructions of their respective masters.
Chu Meixin walked quickly towards the entrance, and Gu Chen deliberately followed behind, but was blocked immediately.
"You are not practicing swordsmanship. Just stay here and observe the ceremony."
It was Sword Ancestor who spoke in person. His tone was indifferent and he did not tolerate any rejection.
Gu Chen paused and could only tell Chu Meixin, "Be careful."
So Chu Meixin entered the secret realm alone, and Song Jiacheng followed not far behind.
Emperor Chou had already given an order to Song Jicheng in advance, asking him to help deal with Chu Meixin in the secret territory.
All those who participated in the trial entered the secret realm. Sword Ancestor cast a spell at will, and the water pool in front of him rippled with light, quickly reflecting the situation in the secret realm.
There is a picture of everyone, among which the picture of Cheng Ai is focused on the center.
