[Xiu Xian] The ninth generation

Tiansheng Chu family.

A dark red sign was placed on the wooden table, on which two characters of "invitation" were carved with true energy, and it could be seen that there was a faint brilliance flowing between them.Chu Zixuan picked up the wooden sign and touched it, and immediately felt the vigorous spiritual power rushing towards his face. It is not something ordinary monks can imitate. Presumably this is also the purpose of the person who made the sign.

The wooden sign is an invitation from the imperial capital, and there is a yellow cloud below it, which is the symbol of the imperial capital.There is no doubt that it is the legendary "invitation order".And the pigeon standing on the window sill by the wooden table, with its pointed red beak, three clusters of flowing cloud-like hairs on its forehead, and its black claws... also clearly proves the point of view of the "imperial capital", not to mention The image that the dove brought.

Three days later, we will meet at the Luo family mansion in Liuyu City to discuss the matter of the devil.

Liuyu City, like Chumo City, is the core of the Luo family's fief, and the Luo family's mansion is located in the center of the city.

As soon as the invitation order came out, hundreds of families listened to the order and went to the imperial capital to discuss the important matters of Tiansheng.It has been more than 200 years since the last time the imperial capital issued an invitation order, but this time...

"Thinking about it, it's time to issue an invitation order." Chu Zixuan put down the invitation order, and there was a trace of surprise in his eyes.

The demon man, that is, the red-robed man's offensive was very fierce. ——Of course, the name "devil" is still said by their informants and confidantes all over the mainland, and it comes from the self-proclaimed words of those red-robed people.

They didn't know where they came from, and where they were going, as if they appeared mysteriously overnight.In just one month, these demons started from a small mountain village in the easternmost part of Tiansheng Continent, followed by Liuchuan City, Tianmie City, and Huangsa City, all the way through Fen Family, Situ Family, Chen Family... and finally went straight to Forcing the imperial city, forcing the monks in these families to be caught off guard.Immediately, people in red robes poured out from all directions.Since then, there has been no battle line, and they have been attacking everywhere, as if in a melee to disrupt the situation.Among them, the Luo family, which is close to the Chu family, is the most important. It is no wonder that the people of the imperial capital set the secret meeting place at the Luo family in Liuyu City.

The devil is chaotic, and the Chu family, which is next to the imperial capital, is no exception.As early as ten days after the chaos started, the first demon appeared in a marginal village of the Chu family, slaughtered the villagers in that village, and was not sent by Chu Zixuan until he appeared in a marginal city. The monk who went down was strangled.

Where there is the first, there will be the second, and the third. More and more demons appear in the territory of the Chu family. The monks under Chu Zixuan gradually began to be unable to withstand the offensive, and the pigeons who asked for help were even more desperate all day long. Fluttering" to Chumo City.The devil gradually gained the upper hand, and the casualties became more and more heavy. In one day, the monks sent out were out of ten. ——This is the loss that was reduced after first knowing that there was a red-robed man. It can be seen that the other families have suffered a lot and the devil's offensive is fierce.

After receiving the battle report, Chu Zixuan thought quietly for a moment, then stood up and went to the hall.

The Nine Heavens Sleeping Formation is still the same as before. The five elders maintained their meditating postures without any change. They only opened their eyes when they heard the sound of footsteps approaching from far to near. There was only one young man standing in front of them with a calm expression. ——Chu Zixuan automatically broke through the nine-day trap that had trapped them for more than a month.

"Why untie the formation?" The second elder opened his eyes, hiding the flash of light in his eyes, "I think we have told you more than once that there is nothing to say about that kid."

"The second elder's stand is indeed firm, and he will not waver by any means." Chu Zixuan showed a smile on his face. During this period, he had also tried various methods of coercion and temptation, but these five elders were completely deaf to what was going on outside the window. , I devoted myself to seclusion, never even opened my eyes, and finally had to find another way. Fortunately... After a pause, Chu Zixuan didn't bother with this question: "I didn't come to ask about that person. Moreover, Now that I have unlocked the seal of this formation today, there is absolutely no possibility of setting up another formation."

What he didn't say was that, as for the news about Chu Yanzhi, he found out some clues.Back then, there was a servant girl in the Qi refining period who knew that she had peeped the secret, so she would inevitably die with the same group of servants who knew the secret. This catastrophe happened.Of course, it's also fortunate that the elders didn't send monks to check it at that time, otherwise it would be impossible to hide it, but it would still be two words.

However, fortunately, there was no inspection. If not, the secrets of that year would have been lost in the long river of time.

"What happened?"

Hearing this, the second elder frowned.Based on his understanding of Chu Zixuan, unless the family changes drastically or the situation is turbulent, the latter will definitely not give in before achieving his goal.

Chu Zixuan gave the second elder a meaningful look, and threw the battle report in his hand to the other side.

The second elder was taken aback for a moment, and quickly reached out to take the battle report and read it, frowning after just one glance.

"Second Elder, what happened?" On the side, the Fourth Elder, who wanted to jump out to accuse Chu Zixuan, was held back by the Third and Fifth Elders, and then fell silent for a while. Soon, as the Second Elder frowned, Tight and couldn't help but jumped out.

The second elder seemed to wake up suddenly, sighed, and handed the communication jade slip in his hand to the fourth elder: "Look for yourself."

The fourth elder took the jade slip with a puzzled expression, and fell silent after reading it.Immediately afterwards, the jade slip spread to the five elders, and finally fell into the hands of the sixth elder: "Second elder, this...?"

"It's true." Chu Zixuan looked solemn, "My Chu family still suffered light casualties. The Luo family and the imperial capital were really horrible, especially the Luo family." When it came to the Luo family, almost everyone present could Hearing the schadenfreude in his words, the second elder inevitably coughed a few times and reminded Chu Zixuan: "Nonsense! As the heir of the Chu family, how can you make fun of other families in such a grand manner? Do you think the title of heir is too easy? Or do you think it's too easy?" Is the Chu family too unattractive?"

Chu Zixuan naturally turned a deaf ear to it, and he didn't care if the Second Elder made a sincere point or pretended it was—after all, he had imprisoned the latter for more than a month, so he didn't have any resentment or anything, and he didn't even believe it when he said it. "Presumably the second elder also knows about the current situation. Zixuan is really powerless by himself, so I invite several elders to sit in the Chu family together." In order to show his sincerity, Chu Zixuan even bowed to the end.

"The Chu family is in trouble, so of course I won't sit idly by." The second elder stood up with a smile, and nodded happily to Chu Zixuan's request, "No matter what quarrels we have, we will wait until the catastrophe is over."

"What the second elder said is absolutely true."

The two looked at each other and smiled, neither of them knew how sincere the other's smile was.

At this moment, a leisurely sigh suddenly sounded from around: "I'm relieved if you can think like this."

...this voice?Chu Zixuan raised his eyebrows, and took a few steps back without saying a word, and as expected, he saw a benevolent old man appearing at the place where he stood before.The six people present all cupped their hands and said respectfully, "Great Elder."——At the time when the demons attacked Tiansheng Continent, the Great Elder of the Chu family who had been retreating for many years finally came out!

……

"What does the Great Elder mean?" Chu Zixuan put down the invitation order in his hand, and looked at the monk who handed him the wooden plaque and the pigeon with a half-smile.

Hearing this, the latter just lowered his head and replied loudly: "Yes."

"In that case." The smile on the corners of Chu Zixuan's lips curled up even more, "Wouldn't it be a disappointment to the Great Elder if I don't go?"

The monk just lowered his head blindly, refusing to utter a word, for fear of being involved in the disputes of the Chu family again.Of course, the cultivator was half admiring and half fearful of the heir who was so ruthless at the center of the rumors that he almost forced his position, the elder of the Chu clan and the head of the clan without any blame. "It's really boring." Chu Zixuan knew that this monk was very protective of himself, and he was afraid that he would not get anything out of his mouth, so he gave up the meaningless action, "Go back and tell the Great Elder: Since the Great Elder has a life, Zixuan should be ordered to go forward and leave soon."

"Yes." The monk clasped his fists and left quickly, leaving Chu Zixuan alone with lowered eyebrows, thinking about something.

On that day, the First Elder suddenly left the seclusion, throwing away the plan that Chu Zixuan had prepared.Because he didn't know which side this legendary elder with a mysterious cultivation level was on, and whether it would affect his next actions, Chu Zixuan chose to wait and see what happened, but unexpectedly, he sent this invitation order after only two days. , made it clear that he was officially pushed in front of others.

In this way, Chu Zixuan was even more confused about what the other party was thinking.

What's more... the young man lowered his brows and eyes, and under the sun, his long eyelashes cast a shadow: The great elder told him easily, the truth that he had spent more than half a year in painstaking efforts, even at the expense of turning against the elders-- The relationship between Chu Yanzhi and him, Chu Zixuan.This unexpected move made him even more afraid, and he could not act rashly.

"He is you."
