Chapter 86 Teal Jade Sec (1/2)
t
Xiao Chen immediately felt some rich Spiritual Qi. Compared with the outside, the Spiritual Qi here was purer. Presumably, this was also a land of bliss. After ascending the steps, they arrived at the main square of the mountain gate. Looking back, he saw that on his way here, countless bluestone swords dangling in mid-air with faint golden runes around.
Gu Hanxuan gently smiled. ”They are the barrier seals of our sect.”
Xiao Chen nodded and walked after him for miles. After passing through the square, a disciple hurried to report. ”The master is waiting in the hall. Please go immediately, Senior Brother.”
Gu Hanxuan nodded slightly. ”Okay, I see.” He then pointed to Xiao Chen, saying, ”This is Junior Brother Han. Take him to the side hall to rest.”
Xiao Chen looked up and saw three grand halls not far away and numerous pavilions and towers in the distance. Although this Teal Jade Sect was not as good as the Mystic Cyan Sect, it was much bigger than those sects in the Human World. The disciple showed him the way and said, ”Junior Brother Han, come with me.”
Xiao Chen nodded and went with him. This was not the top of the mountain. There was still some distance from the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain was where the elders stayed in seclusion. Ordinary disciples cannot go up there. After arriving at the side hall, the disciple sent men to serve tea and brought some melons, fruit, and snacks in person. The disciple saw that the First Brother was very polite to this person, so he naturally did not dare to neglect Xiao Chen as if Xiao Chen was a guest of honor.
Xiao Chen only took a sip of tea gently and did not eat the snacks in the dish. It was not because of his vigilance; after all, the Teal Jade Sect was also regarded as a noble and decent sect. He felt that he should be polite when he first came to someone else's home so as not to lose his courtesy.
The disciple who sent him here was quite easy-going. Seeing that he was rather restrained, the disciple kept talking with him. At the moment, in another hall, a dignified, middle-aged man was sitting in the front of the hall. He was Liu Yunzheng, the current leader of the Teal Jade Sect.
”Greetings, Master!” Underneath him, Gu Hanxuan and the others who just walked in saluted one after another. Only the Junior Sister Liu Fenghuang skipped up.
Liu Yunzheng gently knocked on her forehead, and his doting heart was beyond words. He pretended to be angry and said, ”You left without telling me. Wait and see how your father will punish you.” Liu Fenghuang wrapped around his arm, reached out her tongue, and didn't talk.
Liu Yunzheng gently coughed, looked down and said, ”Hanxuan, why isn't your Junior Brother Duan back?”
Instantly, the atmosphere in the hall became solemn, and people were silent. Liu Fenghuang's expression also quickly dim down. Gu Hanxuan frowned, hesitated for a long time and said, ”It's my fault. I failed to provide adequate protection. Please punish me, master...” He then told the man about Duan Feng's murder.
”You said Feng'er, he... he!” Liu Yunzheng looked full of grief. He constantly shook his head and sighed. ”For a dragon pill, my Feng'er died...”
Liu Fenghuang also had red eyes. She sobbed, ”It's all my fault. I insisted to go down the mountain with him...”
”I am also responsible for this, please punish me, master.” Chu Lingjiao said as she knelt down. And then Shen Qian and Gu Hanxuan also knelt down.
Gu hanxuan, Duan feng, Chu Lingjiao, Shen Qian, and Liu Fenghuang were Liu Yunzheng's disciples. They had more than ten years of relationships. No wonder Liu Yunzheng was so sad to hear the bad news.
”Nevermind, I can't blame you, get up now...” Liu Yunzheng's face was still very bitter. He looked blankly and said, ”The Skygale Sect...”
There was still no evidence to prove that the Skygale Sect did this. Even if it was proved, they could do nothing. Because the Dragon Meridian Mountains was the border between Zhou State and Qing State. No matter how many people were killed or injured in there, they were not allowed to seek revenge without permission. This was the contract set by the two states earlier.
Liu Yunzheng kept shaking his head and sighing. He saw Shen Qian pale and asked, ”Qian'er, you had been hit by that strange palm method, how are you now?” Shen Qian said, ”I'm fine. Thank you for your concern.”
”All right, let Miss Luo take a look for you later. It will also be good.”
Gu Hanxuan took a few steps forward, clasped his hands and said, ”There is another thing that I should report.” He then told the matter that Xiao Chen was able to play the divine zither.
”There is such a wonderful person!” Liu Yunzheng suddenly stood up from his chair. Obviously, he couldn't believe that someone could make the zither sound three times in a row. He asked, ”Where is he now?”
”Master, wait a moment. I will invite him here immediately.” Gu Hanxuan then went outside of the temple. If it was an ordinary people, he would not personally go invite. But Xiao Chen was no ordinary people, and even Liu Yunzheng thought highly of him just now.
After a while, Xiao Chen followed Gu Hanxuan into the hall and saw Liu Yunzheng at the head of the hall. He said in a good manner, ”I'm Han Chen. A pleasure to meet you, sect leader.” Liu Yunzheng hurriedly went down and said, ”No need for so much courtesy, young friend. I just heard my little girl say that you can play the ancient divine zither?” He then looked at Liu Fenghuang.
Liu Fenghuang immediately offered the jade zither. Liu Yunzheng took it over and handed it to Xiao Chen.
