Chapter 123 Hand over the murderer!
Chen Lang fled all the way back to the dilapidated town where he was temporarily staying.
It was very quiet here. The dozen or so heads on the Caishikou archway were still hanging there. Occasionally, a Taoist priest from the Pingtian Sect would appear. When he saw Chen Lang returning with the flag raised, he did not stop him.
I went straight back to the hall which was converted from the inn. I heard voices inside. The Southern Sect Leader was actually there.
Moreover, the Western leader, Little Old Deng, was also there, and no one knew what the two were talking about.
"I am back."
Chen Lang entered the room and slapped the Ten Thousand Souls Banner on the table. The Southern Sect Leader looked at it and was slightly stunned.
"That's exactly what happened. This guy didn't listen to my instructions. Not only did he steal the souls of all the other flag-raising people under my command, he also refused to obey orders and let go of hundreds of sacrifices from the Qingmu Sect."
"I have sufficient reasons to suspect that this man is disloyal to our Pingtian Sect. Keeping him here will be a disaster, so let's kill him." said the Western leader.
Chen Lang smiled, sat on an empty seat at the side, drank a sip of cold tea, and did not explain.
"What's going on?" The Southern Sect Leader pointed at the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, his expression slightly changed.
"This is the banner he got after stealing the dead souls." The Western leader hasn't discovered the problem yet.
But the Southern Cult Leader picked up the Ten Thousand Souls Banner on the table and sensed it for a moment. "The total number of souls in the banners of all of you is only three thousand, but now it has almost doubled, and the sacrifices have been confiscated. Where did it come from?"
"Ah?" The Western leader was stunned for a moment. He finally realized the seriousness of the problem. Even if he killed all those disciples and doubled the amount, he would not be able to get so much.
Three thousand souls, that's a month's work for a division.
"Why bother with so many things? You said I needed to nourish the Blood Flag. Have I passed the test now?" Chen Lang was not in a hurry.
"First, tell me where you collected the souls from." The Southern Cult Leader had a serious expression on his face.
No, kid, even though we are from the Pingtian Sect, we still have to follow principles when killing people.
The cause and effect in the world is balanced. Collecting one more soul means one more cause and effect. He suspected that this kid had brought him a great cause and effect.
Sure enough, a subordinate wearing an eagle-faced mask hurried in and said in a hoarse voice:
"Report to the leader, it's bad, a large number of masters from the Qingmu Sect are coming to attack, and they have found our location."
"What level?"
"I don't know, but there are elders outside. They want you to go out and talk, and they also want you to hand over the person."
The Southern Cult Leader slammed the table and stood up.
The Western leader was busy complaining, but when he heard the name of Qingmu Sect, he finally remembered something and his face changed drastically, "Chen Lang, you are not really going to Qingmu Sect to collect souls, are you?"
"Ah."
Chen Lang nodded, "Do you know about the Qingsong Mountain Trial? There are a lot of people there. Oh, and I also saw a few good places to raise banners along the way. Can I recommend some to you?"
"I'll wipe it."
The Southern Leader's eyes went dark and veins on his forehead throbbed. He waved his hand, signaling Chen Lang to stop talking. If he continued, he was afraid his heart would not be able to take it.
At this moment, he suddenly understood. When Chen Lang finished visiting the Tianjian Sect and left with him, some elders were laughing secretly. He didn't understand what they were laughing at at that time, but now he knows.
Damn it, I am responsible for maintaining the banner, not for going crazy.
If he could do it again, he would never capture this kid and try to ask for a ransom from the Tianjian Sect.
“Chen Lang, you have made great contributions, so you have certainly passed the test. However, you still need to deal with these things together. Just follow me.” The Southern Cult Leader took a breath and spoke in a calm voice.
"Eagle, notify all subordinates to remain restrained and not act rashly. Wait for my notification." He ordered again.
"Okay, do you want to tell the Queen?" asked the eagle-faced masked man.
"You don't need to think about this."
"Yes." The eagle-faced masked man seemed to understand something and glanced at Chen Lang.
Chen Lang met his eyes and smiled faintly.
Then he stood up, picked up his Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and followed him out.
……
There are a lot of people outside.
The Southern Cult Leader had many subordinates, all of whom were busy in various areas. Now that they received the news, they were all blown out.
Several huge monsters stood in the distant sky, walking on the blue clouds and illuminating half the universe.
Fortunately, no fighting took place.
"Where is Chen Lang? Come out." A majestic voice sounded. It was not loud, but it surged across the sky like thunder, shaking the mountains. "Here." The Southern Cult Leader helped answer.
Then some eyes were cast over.
"Let's ask the queen to come over. It's such a big deal." Chen Lang took a look and made a decision.
"It's not worth alarming Her Majesty for such a small matter." The Southern Cult Leader said calmly, "Don't worry, I will handle it properly."
"Hand me over for processing?" Chen Lang chuckled.
The Southern Sect Leader was a little surprised that this kid actually figured it out.
That's normal. If he wasn't smart enough, how could he sneak into Aoki Sect right under our noses, kill a thousand people and return safely?
Unfortunately, this is not a safe place. You'd better apologize and make another contribution. The Pingtian Church will remember you.
The Southern Cult Leader raised his hand, ready to detain Chen Lang and then hand him over.
But Chen Lang was faster. His soul power surged, and he blocked the Ten Thousand Souls Banner between the two of them. At the same time, he attacked the banner, trying to erase the mark on it.
A blood mist appeared.
A masked face emerged.
"My queen, I have completed the task." Chen Lang asked the person in the fog.
The Southern Cult Leader stood still with his hands frozen.
Alas. He sighed in his heart. Although this kid was reckless, he was not smart at all when it came time. Once the Queen showed up, things were completely out of control.
The Southern Sect Leader consciously took a step back and no longer had any thoughts about Chen Lang.
In an instant, the sky above the town turned a faint blood color, and the remaining clouds seemed to be burned by fire.
A handsome man stood on the back of the monster, overlooking below.
"Do you recognize me?"
"Lord Qingsong, how are you?" The Southern Cult Leader smiled. "But now that the Queen has shown up, why are you making such a fuss? Don't you have anyone to take charge?"
"Have."
A cow mooed and a green cow carrying an old man appeared. The old man looked over with a long whip in his hand.
In an instant, Chen Lang felt a tremendous pressure, and his body was about to collapse. The Southern Sect Leader had the same feeling. Even though he had entered the Golden Core Realm, under such pressure, he was no different from an ordinary person.
Old Man Qingniu is the leader of the Qingmu Sect, a genuine Nascent Soul monster, and one of the most powerful men walking on this continent.
But then, a breeze came and melted away all the stress.
"Do you want to kill my people in front of me?" The lazy voice echoed in the blood-red sky.
Hearing this, Chen Lang smiled faintly. The ending was decided and his mission was accomplished.
It's just a gamble.
The Pingtian Sect has its own rules. The people below are only responsible for collecting souls and killing people. The cause and effect created will be settled by the Queen Mother.
If this person had not shown up today, he would have died today, but since he has shown up, and in front of so many people.
Either you choose to protect him, or the trust of the entire Pingtian Sect will collapse. Who will dare to work for the Pingtian Sect in the future?
If you win the bet, you can test the bottom line of doing things in Pingtian Sect. If you lose the bet, the worst that can happen is that you lose your life.
It's obvious that the gamble is now won.
So, the following things——
jump over.
……
【Ding】
Chen Lang opened the system. On his way back, he found that the task panel had been updated, but he was too busy escaping to check it.
He had specially returned to Tianjian Sect to see Su Qingchan for the last time in order to ask him to help him take the task, and it seemed that he had successfully taken it for him.
The situation is not so urgent now, so we can make some plans.
