I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

"When the Divine Lord heard the news of your death, Sect Master Chu, he was shocked and grief-stricken, even saying, 'Heaven is jealous of talented people.' But now, upon hearing that you, Sect Master Chu, not only survived, but also eliminated the sect's rebellion, the Divine Lord was filled with joy."

"Then he sent us to congratulate us immediately and asked us to meet Sect Master Chu in person and personally deliver the gift."

"This time, I, the Scarlet Cloud Divine Dynasty, have brought five thousand spiritual medicines, one million spiritual stones, and thousands of magical treasures. I would like to express my sincere congratulations to you, Sect Master Chu, for surviving the disaster and making a great comeback."

"..."

Inside the main hall of the Hehuan Sect, Chu Xiangling sat at the head of the table, looking at the group of cultivators in scarlet cloud-embroidered robes with a smile on her face.

these people.

They all came from the Scarlet Cloud Divine Dynasty.

They came to visit with gifts and goodwill.

Actually, the relationship between the Hehuan Sect and the Chiyun Divine Dynasty is not that good. Although both parties are considered to be holy land-level forces in the same echelon, they are located far away from each other and have no interest connection in the past.

There is no communication normally.

However, as the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person. They sent an envoy to bring us gifts, as well as a wide variety of gifts.

Naturally, it is impossible for the Hehuan Sect to turn people away.

For a while.

The scene was extremely harmonious.

If someone doesn't understand the situation, they might think that these two giants are going to cooperate from now on.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

"Prince An, I heard that you had already reached the Half-Step Supreme Realm five hundred years ago. You are usually very busy with affairs. Now you have come all the way to my Hehuan Sect. It is not just to congratulate me, right?" Chu Xiangling asked first.

Prince An was a middle-aged man dressed in brocade clothes. He looked very heroic, but there was a bit of commercialism in his eyes. When asked, he laughed heartily:

"Although I have reached the Half-Step Supreme for many years, this little bit of strength is nothing to brag about in front of ordinary people, but in front of Sect Master Chu, there is nothing to brag about."

"As for the purpose of my visit, the most important thing is to congratulate Sect Master Chu."

"Of course……"

At this point, Prince An changed the subject and said amiably, "Actually, there's one more thing I'd like to ask Sect Master Chu for help with."

"Oh? I wonder what Prince An is doing?"

"It's not a big deal, but I heard that the Qingxuan Supreme once abandoned a child in your sect?"

"It is true. Why is your country also going to attack Qingxuan Supreme? If so, we can join forces to drive Guan Xuelan, that stray dog, out of our Beiming land."

When Chu Xiangling said this, Prince An's face suddenly froze, and then he smiled awkwardly:

"That Qingxuan Supreme comes and goes without a trace, and it is said that he has a great escape technique. Our Scarlet Cloud Divine Dynasty is far away from us, and I am afraid we are powerless to encircle and suppress him."

"Oh." Chu Xiangling said indifferently, and the enthusiasm on her face dissipated a lot.

"Ahem, of course. If your sect truly wants to encircle and suppress that Qingxuan Supreme, even though our Scarlet Cloud Divine Dynasty can't send any personnel, we can still lend a hand. We will mobilize the Scarlet Cloud Divine Dynasty's intelligence to help gather information about that Qingxuan Supreme, and at the same time provide some material support."

As soon as these words came out, Chu Xiangling's smile bloomed again, and she was the first to raise the golden cup in front of her: "In that case, I thank your country."

Prince An chuckled twice and could only pick up his glass to drink a glass.

After drinking for a while, Prince An finally spoke again: "Um, I wonder where the child abandoned by the Qingxuan Supreme is now?"

"Where is he? I need to send someone to ask." Chu Xiangling looked puzzled: "Why, do you know that child?"

"It's not that we know him, but we received intelligence that the child is a descendant of our Scarlet Cloud Divine Dynasty, but was lost due to some accident when he was young. He has the blood of Scarlet Cloud, and we want to bring him back, so we hope that Sect Master Chu can..."

Prince An said this with a chuckle, picking up his wine glass: "I hope Sect Master Chu can be flexible."

just.

Hearing his words, Chu Xiangling frowned.

"Does Sect Leader Chu have any doubts?" asked Prince An.

"I do have some doubts." Chu Xiangling gave Prince An a strange look and said, "Are you sure that child is of the bloodline of your Scarlet Cloud Divine Dynasty?"

"determine."

"This is not right." Chu Xiangling shook her head:

"If I remember correctly, that child was a disciple of my Hehuan Sect who violated the sect's rules and left behind an offspring. How could he possibly become the bloodline of your Scarlet Cloud Divine Dynasty?"

"What?" Prince An was stunned.

"I think your intelligence might be wrong. That child has already passed away through blood with a disciple of my sect."

"How can this be?"

"Hmm?" Chu Xiangling frowned: "Are you questioning me?"

"Of course not!" Prince An was startled and shook his head hurriedly. Seeing Chu Xiangling's expression eased a little, he hurriedly said:

"It's just that the bloodline of the Scarlet Cloud Divine Dynasty is extremely unique, so the intelligence is unlikely to be wrong. The identity of that child must be correct."

"Then what evidence do you have? I can't possibly believe everything you say, right?" Chu Xiangling shook her head. "If the child were alone, it wouldn't be a problem. But the child has already returned to their ancestral home. If you come here to claim him, wouldn't that just break up his family?"

This……

Prince An's expression changed several times, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

What's the point of saying that the child is returning to his roots and that we have mistaken people for each other? This is totally impossible. Then why did Chu Xiangling try to stop us?

Follow his ideas.

Chu Xiangling is a very smart person. Normally, she shouldn't meddle in other people's affairs. Instead, she used a child she found for free to exchange for a lot of sect resources and even the favor of the God Lord.

No matter how you look at it.

All of them made money.

Anyone who is smart knows how to choose.

but now……

what's going on?

Does she really not want to recognize him?

Can……

What's the purpose?

"correct!"

"Instead of arguing like this, why don't we try another approach."

Chu Xiangling seemed to recall something. "If I remember correctly, doesn't your Scarlet Cloud Divine Dynasty have a Scarlet Cloud Blood Cauldron? It's said that with just a drop of blood, this cauldron can instantly tell if the person is of your Scarlet Cloud Divine Dynasty bloodline. Why don't you take out the Blood Cauldron and let the child try it? Then we'll know for sure."

As soon as these words were spoken, Prince An's expression instantly darkened.

Chu Xiangling was right. The Chiyun Divine Dynasty did have the Chiyun Blood Cauldron, and it was indeed possible to use the Chiyun Blood Cauldron to detect the bloodline of the disciples of the Divine Dynasty. As long as this item was taken out, it could be confirmed that the child was from the Chiyun Divine Dynasty.

but……

It's not that simple.

That is the only bloodline of the Chiyun Divine Dynasty's main lineage, and the purity of the bloodline is beyond imagination. Once the Chiyun Blood Cauldron is taken out, only a drop of blood is needed to see the purity of the child's bloodline.

By then.

The news that the child is the only bloodline of the main line will surely spread throughout the world immediately.

This went against their plan to take the child away quietly and secretly.

"Master Chu, he was just a child who was abandoned in your sect due to an accident. He is insignificant to your sect. Why do you have to mobilize such a large force and even go to the trouble of asking for the Blood Cauldron?" Prince An gritted his teeth, but still forced a smile to suppress his anger.

Chu Xiangling, however, seemed not to notice. She shook her head and said sternly, "No matter how insignificant it is, it's still a life. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that human life is of paramount importance. It's only natural that we should be a little troublesome."

Chu Xiangling at this moment.

Righteous and awe-inspiring!

Compassion for the world!

He doesn't look like the leader of the Demon Sect at all, but more like a leader of the righteous path.

But her serious expression made Prince An grit his teeth. "If Sect Master Chu has any requests, please feel free to ask. I will immediately inform the Divine Lord. I, Chi Yun, will definitely not disappoint Sect Master Chu with my response."

Prince An felt that he had seen through Chu Xiangling's purpose.

this woman.

They want to take advantage of the situation and rob us!

really.

Chu Xiangling's serious face immediately showed a satisfied smile, and she looked at Prince An with an expression that said, "You are very sensible."

"Speaking of which, my Hehuan Sect has recently gone through a major change, and we've indeed given away quite a few supplies and treasures. However, I, Chu Xiangling, am not the kind of person who is greedy. Why don't you use the Blood Cauldron to test them first, and then I can think carefully about what I should ask for."

Good guy.

This is an open extortion, and they even want to use the blood cauldron to test it. Are they trying to confirm the identity of the child before making any demands, right?

"Sect Master Chu, there's no need for a blood test for this child."

"why?"

"Just make your request. Why bother?"

"That won't do." Chu Xiangling shook her head, her expression firm. "I, Chu Xiangling, always stick to the rules. If I say a blood test is needed, then a blood test must be done. Speaking of which...why is Prince An obstructing such a simple matter in every possible way? He's not really going to forcibly separate that child's family, is he?"

"Sect Master Chu..."

"Or in other words, what is your country afraid of?" Before the other party could get angry, Chu Xiangling seemed to have thought of something, and her expression was full of deep meaning.

This look made Prince An feel a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangling withdrew her gaze in time and said:

"Actually, I'm not doing this to trouble you on purpose. It's just that a disciple in my sect seems to be possessed by a demon. If we forcibly separate the child without any evidence, it will inevitably dishearten the disciples in the sect."

"I have only one request. You take out the blood cauldron and perform a blood test. If the test is successful, not only will I not stop you, I will also send someone to escort you personally."

"Of course."

"If you have any concerns, don't worry. I can promise you that I won't reveal a single word about the blood test to anyone else. What do you think?"

It's still the same excuse that even a fool wouldn't believe.

Can be biased.

She had said so, and even though Prince An knew there was something wrong, he really couldn't refuse. After thinking for a long time, he said, "I need to report this matter to the Divine Lord and ask the Divine Lord to make a decision. How about... we discuss this matter tomorrow?"

This is a delaying tactic.

They might even want to openly build a plank road while secretly attacking Chencang. Chu Xiangling naturally understood this, but she did not stop them. She immediately waved her hand and sent someone to arrange for the Chiyun delegation to stay in the Hehuan Sect.

As soon as the delegation left, Chu Xiangling immediately called his men and said, "Give orders, these people are not allowed to move around freely. Keep an eye on them all!"

Her idea is simple.

This group of people must want to make a move privately. In that case, we should just keep a close eye on them and not give them the chance to make a move privately. By waiting until tomorrow when the Blood Cauldron is sacrificed, everything can proceed smoothly as planned.

only……

Just moments after the order was issued, a disciple hurriedly reported, "Master, it was our negligence. One of the members of the Scarlet Cloud delegation is missing!"

"One person is missing? Who is it?" Chu Xiangling frowned.

But then the disciple swallowed his saliva:

"Red Shadow Thousand Phases."

"Chi Wuhen!"
