Chapter 146 Black Priest

Lu Ming's sudden intrusion threw the Elders' Council into disarray.

"Brother Lu, shouldn't you be recuperating at home? Why are you here?" An elder came forward and said with a smile.

"Why are you like this? Who did you have an argument with?"

Lu Ming's breath was cold, staring at everyone present, "Don't change the subject, I'm leaving this to you, my son is trapped in the Pingtian Sect, in danger, if you don't take action, then my Lu family will no longer belong to the Tianjian Sect.

I am not in the sect for many years, but I also have the position of elder. I should have a seat here. If you do not recognize me as an elder, I will not be polite. "

"Brother Lu, please sit down."

Upon seeing this, several elders hurriedly helped Lu Ming to sit down. Although the Lu family had a shallow foundation, they were financially strong. After all, cultivation and wealth are often not achieved at the same time, so it would be impolite to say such cold and heartless words.

"What's going on?" Elder Shi looked at him.

Lu Ming sat next to him, picked up the water cup and took a big gulp before suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood, "Damn Pingtian Cult, not only did they not release me after getting the ransom, they also plotted against me."

"You've been there?" An elder was surprised. This shouldn't be the case. How could those money-hungry people miss such an opportunity to make money?
“I’ve been there, and failed.”

Lu Ming searched the room with a cold gaze, and finally found his gaze. He said coldly: "I have another surprise for you. Chen Lang has become the leader of the Lotus Sect. Elder Zhong, you have taught another good disciple."

"Did it really work?" Zhou Tian was thinking.

There was such a link in the "plan" that Ye Wenlong revealed to them, which made Ye Wenlong's message more credible.

"What do you mean? Do you know?" Lu Ming asked.

"We are discussing this matter." Zhou Tianzheng explained and reiterated the information Ye Wenlong had provided earlier.

"He may be plotting something. Arresting people is just a way to gain the trust of Pingtian Sect. You don't have to take it to heart." An elder advised.

"What kind of plan? What kind of insider support?"

Lu Ming was unmoved, with murderous intent, "Is he a real traitor or a fake traitor? I fought him in person, can't I tell clearly?"

Capturing my children, embezzling my ransom, kidnapping my people, and seizing my treasure ship, is this what an insider would do?
When he thought of the face of the Pingtian Sect, he became extremely angry. Then he remembered something and stared at Zhong Haoran.

"Zhong Haoran! You are sitting so peacefully. Give me an explanation!"

"Brother Lu, don't be impatient."

Zhou Tianzheng quickly explained, "Chen Lang has not been in contact with Elder Zhong for a long time. This matter has nothing to do with him, and Elder Zhong originally supported the action."

"Besides, Chen Lang has already defected from the sect. If we believed him, we wouldn't have discussed this for so long."

After hearing these words, Lu Ming calmed down a little and sat beside him, gulping down his tea.

"I don't care about any plans, or whether there are accomplices or not.

I just need everyone to take action, rescue them, and then destroy this damn Lotus Sect.

As for whether what Chen Lang said was true or false, does it matter?
What use is a foundation-building cultivator? When we get there, we can see whether he stands on our side or on the side of the Pingtian Sect. If he dares to flee for fear of crime, I will kill him immediately!"

With the urging of the Lu family, the Council of Elders quickly passed the resolution and secretly notified other families. Since they had made the decision to take action, the image of the sect must not be affected.

Lu Ming was not an unreasonable person. Although he had a strong intention to kill Chen Lang, he did not reveal any action at all under the persuasion of other elders. He immediately returned to the family and deliberately arranged some people to investigate near Lotus Mountain so that the Pingtian Sect would not be able to find any clues.

But in order to take action, the nod from the most critical person is needed.

Leader of the Tianjian Sect!

A branch of Pingtian Sect may have no more than a few Jindan monks, but the biggest problem has never been this, but rather the Lord of Ten Thousand Souls who may show up at any time.

If that person shows up, it will be difficult to end the situation, as it will involve a contest at the top level of the continent.

The leader of the Tianjian Sect has been avoiding direct negotiations with the Pingtian Sect over the years, so it is difficult to convince him.

Afterwards, the leader of the Tianjian Sect was summoned out of seclusion.

"it is good."

The Tianjian Sect Master readily agreed. This made Zhou Tianzheng, who was trying to persuade him, helpless.

"We will act first. If the Lord of Ten Thousand Souls takes action, you will be needed to stop him."

"This is not a problem." said the leader of Tianjian Sect.

Zhou Tianzheng added, warning: "Chen Lang's words may not be credible. If this is a trap set by the Pingtian Sect, then we need to attack with force."

As the leader of a sect, he believed that he could not be unaware of the risks involved.

"What did Zhong Haoran say?" asked the leader of Tianjian Sect.

"He said he believed in Chen Lang."

"Then believe it."

"..." Zhou Tianzheng questioned the master's decisiveness and confidence. He thought for a moment and asked, "Did you succeed in breaking through the barrier?"

The sect master has been in seclusion these years. It is hard to believe that there would be any other possibility that would make him take such a risk except for successfully breaking through.

The sect leader sighed softly, his expression somewhat complicated.

"No, I failed to break through."

……

Chen Lang successfully subdued the Polang Boat. After shrinking it, it was about the size of a palm, shaped like gray paper, and could be stored on his body.

As for the Fengming Furnace, the Lu family's steward did not give any instructions on how to subdue or use it. He simply said that this was the tool the master used to make pills.

Chen Lang gave up and then continued his action at the urging of the Southern Sect Leader.

Within a few days, there were many more prisoners in the dungeon, and together with those captured by other believers, the number reached as many as four hundred.

Even believers of other sects heard about it and came to seek refuge, bringing many living sacrifices as gifts.

During this period, some related families wanted to redeem people, but the Southern Leader directly refused on their behalf. Lord Black Sparrow and several Eagles even took action together and captured some more people.

"The Black Priest is here."

Three days later, the Lotus Sect welcomed two important figures.

The two men were wearing black robes, hats, and masks on their faces, one was a cow and the other was a horse, and there was no one following them.

The Southern Cult Leader stood aside and greeted him personally.

"Where is Chen Lang?"

"Here." Chen Lang came forward and stared at the two of them. He squinted his eyes, unable to see through their realm, but he could sense an extremely dangerous aura.

He had heard that the Pingtian Sect had masters. Are these the people?

However, even though we are all the Queen's cattle and horses, we don't have to show it on our faces, right?

"The grand ceremony will begin the next day, and we will be responsible for supervision."

Niu Ma each took out a box. Inside one of them, there was a whole pile of blood banners lying quietly, and in the other, there was only a stick that looked like pear wood, and a bit like gray-black metal.

"What are your names?" asked the Southern Patriarch.

"No need to address me."

The two men acted efficiently and effectively. They drew a few lots and randomly arranged the location for the grand sacrifice. This was an old tradition of the Pingtian Sect and it was a temporary arrangement and no one could reveal the secret.

Then, he handed the blood flags to Chen Lang. There were seven in total, each of them was dark red and black, and the number of dead souls reached the limit.

Finally, all the prisoners were gathered and transported secretly.

The grand festival is about to begin.
