Chapter 301 Are you also worthy of being a sword cultivator? Strategy to capture the second elder!
(PS: I have to say a few words after seeing your comments. What are they? Just these few words...
Hey, just kidding.
Regarding the character of Jianqi Great Wall... Isn't it obvious that there is something wrong with Jianqi Great Wall? I thought what I wrote was quite obvious.
If he had no problem, I would not have written it. And the vague scenes that Sanye saw... The foreshadowing is almost obvious as an outline! If you still question whether it is worthy of being called the Great Wall of Sword Qi, then I have no reason to say so.
Finally, these few sentences are free.)
“Well done.”
now.
Fu Hongxue suddenly smiled at Ding Jinlong and said, "Go down."
“To have an epiphany, to try to break through.”
"Your future should be more than this."
Ding Jinlong nodded.
But I feel helpless.
My future is more than this?
Haha, do you think I’m stupid?
My path is blocked, even if I am in the fairyland.
Unless we can obtain rare treasures from heaven and earth, we will not be able to move forward even half a step. I know this clearly, and you probably know it better than me, right?
Otherwise, how could I be alive today?
How could you let me go and not take over my body?
Just because I'm a 'guide'?
only···
Why is this so?
Why...
The Sword Qi Great Wall that countless ancestors in my Sword Palace praised countless times, that made them dream of entering it, has turned out to be like this?
The Great Wall of Sword Qi is still there.
Can···
What about the character of a sword cultivator?
Seizing the younger generation...
In order to avoid gossip and to recover faster, he actually took over the body of a person from the lower world.
Is this something a sword cultivator can do? !
ke~~~tui!
Is this guy also a sword cultivator?
It sounds good to say, to resist powerful foreign enemies and protect the fairyland?
Maybe it is.
but···
Can't the remaining soul fight?
If my Sword Palace disobeys, then what does it mean to open the Immortal Gate and hand the sword to my Sword Palace?
"well."
Another long sigh.
Ding Jinlong left sadly.
······
Xianwu Continent.
There was peace in the Great Wilderness Sword Palace.
It seemed as if nothing had happened, and they never took the initiative to tell anyone what had happened. To others, it didn't seem like a big deal.
It's just that someone from the Great Wilderness Sword Palace 'ascended'!
To the outside world, this is indeed a big deal, enough to brag about for a long time, but to the Holy Land, it is nothing, at least not worth being too surprised.
Inside the Lanyue Palace.
Lin Fan knows a lot of things.
But they only know half of it, and these things cannot be publicized, so they are only known to core members within the organization.
At the same time, he chatted with Gu Xinglian, the Holy Mother of All Flowers, about this matter for a while.
He could feel that Gu Xinglian seemed to know something, but for some concern, she did not tell him.
Or maybe she just knows the result but not the reason?
Anyway, this matter has come to an end for now.
Lin Fan did not have enough strength and energy to pursue the matter.
"Speaking of which, the recent focus should still be on the Haoyue Sect."
"Ji Haoyue..."
"He has already left the sect."
······
Inside the Haoyue Sect.
Lu Ming took a deep breath and looked at Ji Haoyue's receding back, his eyes flickering slightly.
"There are only two possibilities for him to go there."
"Success or failure."
"Uh, that's bullshit."
"But if he succeeds, he will successfully enter the ninth realm, and the Haoyue Sect will be promoted to a super first-class sect. If he fails...it will have some impact on the Haoyue Sect, but it won't be too big."
"But no matter whether he succeeds or fails, I will most likely become the lord in the coming years."
Lin Fan had heard a little bit about the fact that he was chosen as the next sect leader.
"But in comparison, I will feel more relaxed if Ji Haoyue fails."
"After all, if he were alive, he would definitely oppose the Haoyue Sect being incorporated into the Lanyue Sect, which would be troublesome."
"But then again, Ji Haoyue is quite... innocent and cute. It would be a pity if he died like this."
"So, the best option is for me to firmly control the entire Haoyue Sect. Even if the Sect Master Ji Haoyue objects, it will be useless. In fact..."
"If he objects, people will say: Why did the old patriarch rebel..."
“This is undoubtedly the best and most wonderful ending.”
Lu Ming stroked his chin and said, "I am not worried about the inner and outer disciples, especially the outer disciples. They have basically taken on my shape now, and the inner disciples are almost the same. I just need to find a chance to refine a batch of pills for them..."
"Next are the core disciples and elders."
"However, what Wen Ruyan and those sequence disciples said..."
Looking at Wen Ruyan who was half a step behind him, and then looking at the other disciples in the distance, Lu Ming thought to himself, "Even if they don't follow me wholeheartedly, they should choose to remain neutral, right?"
"As for the core disciples, although they are important, their number is too small. If I can win over the elders..."
"Even if Ji Haoyue succeeds, he won't be able to stir up any waves."
"However, it is not that easy to take down these elders. Relying on pills alone is not enough, and PUA is not enough either. After all, they are all old and experienced guys, not those young people."
"So, you have to use your brain more."
Lu Ming's heart sank: "Damn it, at worst I can use three methods at once."
"Refine the pills for them!"
"PUA arranged."
"Besides that, put on some pretentious poses and show off your strength and ability!"
"Pills and PUA are easy to deal with. These are my strong points."
"But how can I pretend to be pretty without leaving my house?"
As for elixirs, Lu Ming is now very skilled in making them and is not inferior to Xiao Ling'er at all.
PUA? He might be nothing in modern times, but in Xianwu Continent, he still has some confidence. Although he is not the best in the world, he is definitely not bad.
As for pretending...
Especially for those who are dependent on their strength, and who do not leave the Haoyue Sect, this requires careful planning.
“You can’t just pull out a few elders and beat them up, right?”
“···”
"But it seems that it is not impossible."
Lu Ming suddenly thought of the Second Elder.
This old guy is too 'clear'!
Lu Ming was so clear that he even wanted to kill him, but there was no suitable opportunity, and it was too easy to be suspected! Lu Ming even felt that this old guy might have prepared to "get involved" and use his death to "expose" his plan.
If I kill him myself, my identity will most likely be exposed.
"It's not right to kill him."
"Then why don't I just kill him?"
"He is still on the cliff of regret. We can start with him."
"besides···"
"besides···"
“Got it!”
Lu Ming narrowed his eyes.
Have a plan.
"As you said."
Lu Ming suddenly stopped and chuckled, "Will you accompany me to the Cliff of Repentance?"
"The Cliff of Reflection?"
Wen Ruyan was surprised: "Why did the elder go to the cliff of regret?"
"It is better to resolve a feud than to create one."
Lu Ming responded calmly, then changed direction and flew towards the Cliff of Repentance.
Wen Ruyan seemed to be thinking about something and immediately followed.
at the same time.
Inside the Lanyue Sect.
Lin Fan looked at Yaya and said, "Call your second senior brother to help me do something."
"Remember to listen to your second brother's opinions on everything."
"Yes, Master."
After Lin Fan gave some instructions, Yaya left.
Looking at her departing back, Lin Fan couldn't help laughing.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust or look down on Yaya, but... if you want to talk about who can do things that people can trust, it must be Fan Jianqiang.
The word "Gousheng" is definitely not a false reputation~!
······
After a while, Fan Jianqiang and Yaya set off.
This product...
It was another 'breakthrough'.
Currently, he is at the fourth realm of cultivation, which is considered average within the Lanyue Sect, and is considered to be "above average" among the disciples. At least at first glance, he is not that "eye-catching".
now.
As he flipped through the intelligence, his pair of dead fish eyes turned slightly white.
"Yanyang Palace...
A sect that practices fire-based techniques located on top of a blazing volcano.
The Yanyang Palace and the Haoyue Sect became enemies due to competition for cultivation resources, and the disciples of both sides clashed many times during the competition.
Over the past three thousand years, disciples and elders of both sides have fought to the death in nearly a hundred battles, both sides have suffered casualties. Although they have not yet become mortal enemies, if there is a chance to add insult to injury to the other side, they will never let it go and will not show mercy.
Let’s make Yanyang Palace our first target.”
Yaya nodded: "Okay."
Since the master asked me to listen more to Second Senior Brother, I should just listen to him.
She didn't hate Fan Jianqiang.
In her opinion, the second brother is actually quite good, right?
Some lack of motivation.
"As for the second one..."
"Let's just have the Xinghai Alliance."
"The grudge between the two sides is too old to be investigated. Fortunately, we don't need to worry about it. As long as we reveal the news to the Xinghai Alliance, they will naturally find ways to test or cause trouble."
"The third one..."
"The Shadow Demon Palace."
"This Demon Palace is a bit troublesome, and I estimate that their target should not be the Haoyue Sect, but Ji Haoyue, who is at the quasi-ninth realm."
“···”
Lin Fan’s plan was not complicated.
To sum it up in a few words: the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
He wanted to establish his authority, show off, and demonstrate his strength so that everyone in Haoyue Sect would be convinced. Naturally, he needed to create some trouble for Haoyue Sect.
Then, he would stand up again, crush the problem with ease, and put the Haoyue Sect back on track.
Who is most suitable to cause trouble?
Of course, these are the hostile forces of the Haoyue Sect.
In fact, this is a two-birds-with-one-stone strategy.
It can not only satisfy one's own plans, but also weaken the strength of these enemies.
after all···
If his entire plan succeeds, then after a period of time, the Haoyue Sect will become a part of the Lanyue Sect.
Since ancient times...
Haoyue Sect is an inseparable part of Lanyue Sect, huh!
Therefore, these enemies are likely to be transferred to the Lanyue Sect.
先削弱他们一部分实力，自然是皆大欢喜，无论从哪个方向来说都是好事儿一件。
当然，前提是···
计划成功。
不过林凡也足够谨慎了，怕丫丫做不好，甚至让苟剩出马，他觉得，不太可能会失败。
······
做这些事，苟剩是专业的。
对此，他倒是没有妄自菲薄。
带着丫丫一路‘过关斩将’，在没有任何人察觉他们身份、甚至都不曾亲自出马的情况下，便将相关消息送到那几个势力手中。
甚至，这几大势力都没觉得有什么不妥。
且全都认为这是自家情报系统给力~好不容易才探听出来的消息，自然没有任何怀疑。
随后，纷纷开始‘排兵布阵’。
炎阳神宫内。
宫主环视众人，大笑道：“好机会！”
“姬皓月不在宗内，如今的皓月宗群龙无首，此番，定要让他们知晓，花儿为何这样红，也要让他们晓得，我炎阳神宫的厉害！”
“带齐人马，随本宫主一同前往！”
“是，宫主！”
炎阳神宫内部，众人都格外兴奋。
······
星海盟内。
盟主冷笑连连：“他姬皓月倒是好气魄，早不去晚不去，偏偏在这黄金大世前去寻找突破契机。”
“这是我等机会。”
“速速安排！”
“···”
······
暗影魔宫。
“哦？”
“这情报，倒是难能可贵。”
“准第九境修士，姬皓月，说的好听，实则，却也还是第八境，只要将其围杀，我宗便可得一个第八境大圆满的尸傀！”
“而且，他身为皓月宗宗主，身上重宝、资源，必然都不少！”
“此番，本宫主亲自出手。”
“记得多带些人马！”
“···”
······
在陆鸣的安排下，一场针对皓月宗的暗流开始涌动。
但陆鸣此刻，却并不知晓他们会如何选择，带着温如言，来到思过崖。
皓月宗思过崖，屹立于宗门深处，四周群山环绕，崖壁陡峭，仿佛直插云霄。
这里常年笼罩在冰冷的雾气之中，寒风凛冽，吹拂着崖上稀疏且被冰封的草木，发出沙沙的声响。
崖顶之上，仅有一块巨石矗立，上面刻着“思过”二字，字迹苍劲有力，透出一股孤寂与沉重。
崖下深渊幽深，仿佛吞噬着一切声响，更显得此地孤寂而寒冷。
深渊之下，有‘弱水三千’。
这是一种特殊的‘重水’。
修士跌入其中，若是实力不足，仅仅瞬间便会沉底，甚至是被‘融化’，化作一具白骨！且弱水上空，有特殊‘符文’，禁止飞行！
唯有一条苍茫铁索，乃是前往思过崖的唯一途径。
踏过铁索，落在思过崖上。
陆鸣两人一眼便瞧见已然被冰雪覆盖的···雪人。
“二长老。”
温如言轻声开口：“陆长老来看您了。”
“陆鸣？”
雪人缓缓睁开双目，二长老的目中满是警惕：“你来作甚？”
“老夫无需你假惺惺的看望！”
“终有一日，我会揭穿你的真面目。”
闻言，陆鸣摇头，长叹一声道：“唉，二长老，我确实不知为何伱对我有的恶意如此之深。”
“不过今日前来，却是想与你敞开聊聊。”
“不说什么化干戈为玉帛，只想将一切都展开、敞开了说个明白。”
“如此，也好过你整日针对于我，却又被宗主责罚来的好吧？”
“何况，你我都是为了皓月宗的未来与发展，说到底，最多也就是理念不同罢了，一个宗门，不只有一条路，也并非只能有一个发展理念可以！”
“咱们完全可以放开了聊。”
“敞开了说！”
“有什么问题，就在这思过崖上解决。”
“你若说服了我，从今往后，我听你的便是。”
“但你若无法说服于我，从今往后，还请二长老助我一臂之力，一同发展宗门。”
“助你一臂之力？笑话！”二长老冷笑一声，就此起身。
咔咔咔！
噗嗤···
他身上的冰雪散落，强横的气息在蔓延。
“与你敞开了聊，可以！”
“但想要我助你一臂之力？”
“不行！”
陆鸣还没吭声，作为圣女外加道童的温如言却已然不满了，道：“二长老，您何至于此？”
“陆长老的所作所为，我等都看在眼中。”
“为了宗门发展，陆长老更是···”
她将陆鸣最近为宗门发展劳心劳力，更是几乎‘累死’的事儿一一道来，听的二长老面色微变。
“而且在此之前，也一直都是您在针对陆长老，而陆长老对您一再忍让。”
“更何况，如今陆长老亲自前来，想要与您敞开了聊、想要共同为宗门发展而努力，可您却如此做派，未免太让人寒心！”
说到这里，温如言深吸一口气，又道：“若是您还要如此处处针对，那···我便只能如实告知师尊了！”
“想来，以师尊的脾气，一旦知晓您的所作所为，这思过崖，您很长一段岁月，恐怕都是下不去了。”
二长老顿时皱眉：“你威胁我？！”
“实话实说而已。”
温如言很是无语。
这怎么就是威胁了？
“实话实说？”
“丫头，你从小是老夫看着长大，记得你小时候，时常跟在老夫身后，二爷爷二爷爷叫的可甜。”
“如今却如此待我···”
“你认识陆鸣才几年？！”
“就如此不分生疏？”
“生疏？”温如言摇头：“我这叫帮理不帮亲！二长老，您太偏执了，也太过不可理喻，何不放松一些、放下偏见，认真聊聊？”
二长老：“···”
他气的血管狂跳，浑身都在突突。
太气人了！
自己分明是觉得陆鸣不对劲，他身上有诸多疑点，只是自己还没有确切的证据而已，凭什么就说自己针对他？
他难道不应该被针对吗？
结果到现在，错的反而是自己了？
所有人都来指责自己？
这他叫什么事儿？
好气啊！
二长老一手捂住心脏，总感觉自己像是要被气死了一般，心脏疼，而且疼的极为厉害！
但···
他也不蠢。
若是自己再唱反调，并被长期罚‘看守’思过崖，能有什么用处？
还不如暂且虚以为蛇，下去之后慢慢收集证据，总比在这思过崖上吃冰咽雪来的畅快些。
还能伺机寻找证据，揭穿陆鸣的真面目···
想到这里。
二长老轻轻点头。
“好，我答应你！”
“唉。”
“说来，也是我老糊涂了，或许真的是偏见作祟吧，陆长老，咱们这便敞开心扉好好聊聊，让咱们的理念碰撞碰撞。”
“且看究竟是谁的理念，更为合适。”
“那太好了！”
温如言大喜。
陆鸣也是微微一笑：“好。”
“知错能改善莫大焉，二长老你能冷静下来便好啊。”
随后，两人进行深层次交流。
不外乎是对宗门发展的理念的不同理解。
说到底···
二长老就是鹰派。
强硬的鹰派。
在他看来，不‘鹰’的，都有问题。
陆鸣的问题更是大到离谱。
陆鸣嗤笑：“好好好，不头脑发热、不计后果出手，便有问题？你有没有为宗门想过、有没有为我宗诸多长老，弟子想过？”
“胡说八道，老夫岂会不为他们着想？”二长老拍桌子瞪眼。
“你为他们着想？动不动就打、动不动就拼，去拼命的是谁？拼的是谁的命？还不是我宗长老、弟子们的命？”
“他们的命不值钱吗？就活该送死？”
“什么叫送死？”二长老表示不服：“这是宗门发展所必须的！总要有人牺牲与付出，他们纵然战死了，也是死的其所、死的光荣！”
“那为何死的不能是你？！”
“谁说不能是老夫？老夫早已准备好为宗门战死，只是···”
“只是？！”
陆鸣嗤笑：“兴百姓苦、亡百姓苦。”
“对于宗门而言，普通弟子、长老，就是‘百姓’！”
“修仙，求的是逍遥自在、求的是长生，你且问问他们，有几个想动不动就拼死拼活、打生打死？”
“又有几个，愿意整天把脑袋拴在裤腰带上，过朝不保夕的日子？”
“怎么就朝不保夕了？”二长老还是不服：“现在的付出，是为了未来的···”
“打住！”
陆鸣直接强硬打断：“说的好听，付出与更美好的未来？”
“可是，分明有不用付出、或者说至少无需付出那么多生命的法子与发展方式，为何偏偏要用血去拼？”
“谁不怕死？”
“谁想死？”
“好好发展，最终和平解决一切不好吗？”
“非要拼死一批又一批人？”
“我宗英灵碑都快刻不下了吧？”
“二长老是准备还要新建多少英灵碑，啊？！”
陆鸣的话语，宛若利刃，不断刺向二长老，让他面色一变再变。
“可···可若是被人打上门来，难道当缩头乌龟？”
“你错了！”
陆鸣沉声道：“该软的时候软、该硬的时候硬！”
“该打的时候自然要打，但不该打的时候，又何必非要打？”
“别人打上门来？本长老第一个上，绝不会躲在他人身后。”
“可若是不该打的时候，我却也绝对不会冲动，更不会拿宗门长老、弟子的性命当做儿戏、当做所谓‘血性’的牺牲品！”
温如言听到这里，不由接连点头。
说的太好了！
简直说到了自己的心坎里。
其实···
有几人想动不动拼命啊？
但该拼命的时候，谁会怂？
做事总得分情况才是！
见温如言如此赞同，二长老更是气不打一处来，但却也隐约感到不安，难道自己这些年···真的错了？
不过，他却还是不愿意承认。
硬着头皮道：“你说是就是？”
“年轻人牙尖嘴利，还第一个上，你有实力么？！”
“你凭什么第一个上？靠你这张嘴？”
“实力···”
“你会知道的。”陆鸣淡淡回应。
“好！”
二长老冷哼一声：“那便让老头子我试吧试吧你？”
“···！”
怎么办？
好想说‘想都不要想’啊！
好想说‘武当王’拜见~
咳。
冷静。
“那便请吧，我也很想讨教一番，看二长老那般热衷于让人拼死拼活，实力究竟如何？”
“好好好！”
“年轻人不知天高地厚，根本没把我放在眼里。”
“既如此，来切磋吧！”
二长老笑了。
原本他是发现自己辩不过，所以只能从其他地方找补，来为自己挽回一些颜面。
本以为他不会同意，结果···
同意了？！
嘿！
那可就莫要怪老夫手下不留情了。
“且慢！”
温如言急了：“陆长老，二长老早就已是第八境巅峰大能，且宗内诸多秘术都有涉猎，您···”
“无妨。”
“我虽年轻、虽境界不足，却也自认有几分天赋，何况，我同样敢打敢拼，只是不想门人做无谓的牺牲而已！”
陆鸣朗声道：“既然二长老要战，那便战。”
“也好让二长老知晓，我并非是胡言乱语、更非只会吹嘘。”
“只是···”
“二长老，我若胜了，又当如何？”
胜我？
年轻人，果然是不知天高地厚根本没把我放在眼里啊！
二长老冷哼一声：“你若胜了，我便听你的又何妨？”
“你···”
陆鸣幽幽道：“可信吗？”
“？！”
二长老顿时恼怒。
质疑自己是否可信？
简直是岂有此理，这比质疑自己的实力还要离谱！
“好好好，老夫便在此立下天道誓言，此战，你若胜，老夫从此之后为你马首是瞻。”
“但你若败···”
“也以你马首是瞻！”陆鸣回应。
心中却已经几乎忍不住要笑出声。
妙啊！
本来只是想证明自己的实力而已，却没想到，你如此给机会？
那我岂能错过？
“好好好，来，一同立下天道誓言！”
二长老也是大喜。
他发现，自己真的辩不过陆鸣。
说到最后，自己都几乎要被陆鸣说服了。
可是面子在这儿呢，岂能认错？
再则，他还是想再坚持坚持，可说又说不过，咋办呢？
结果这个对赌，却是让他瞬间看到希望，只要自己击败陆鸣，不就一切尽皆都能完美解决了么？多妙啊！
省的浪费口舌。
何况···
自己真的喷不过他。
至于败？
他没考虑过！
皓月宗可不是日月仙朝。
自己，也并非是日月仙朝那些第八境。
身为皓月宗二长老···
身为第八境巅峰存在，自己的实力，岂能弱了？
陆鸣不过刚突破第七境而已！
天骄？
呵！
谁年轻时，还不是一代天骄了？
自己年轻的时候，曾名传万万里也要告诉你？
轰隆隆！
两人当即立下天道誓言，在天雷滚滚之中，誓言成立。
“来战！”
二长老长笑一声，喜不自胜、难以掩饰。
“那就得罪了！”
陆鸣拔剑···
毕竟，他对外的身份是丹道大宗师与剑道天骄。
此刻，用剑道对敌最为合适。
“来，出手吧！”
二长老老神在在、抱着膀子，漂浮于长空之上：“年轻人，你太过自信了，今日，老夫便告诉你，什么叫尊老爱幼。”
“是吗？”
陆鸣笑了。
“那么···”
“‘前辈’当心。”
“剑···”
“廿三！”
轰！
恐怖的剑意瞬间弥漫整个思过崖。
周遭一切都被定格！
纷纷扬扬的雪花、被风吹拂而变了形状的衣衫，甚至是寒风都在此刻被定格，宛若有了形状。
二长老亦是如此！
而且，首当其冲！
他瞪着双目，目中满是错愕。
这···
怎么会？！
“动，动起来啊！！！”
他眼睁睁看着陆鸣神魂出窍，看着陆鸣的神魂不缓不慢朝自己飘来，宛若这片天地间唯一能动的存在，且那剑指，已然点向自己眉心。
二长老大急！
心中震动万分，想要破开这封锁、想要反击。
可是···
他竟然发现自己办不到！！！
各种手段尽出都无用。
不，不是手段尽出无用。
而是被彻底‘封锁’、‘定格’的他，根本无法施展那些自己引以为傲的手段。
只能就这般如雕像似的漂浮在空中，眼睁睁看着那剑指离自己眉心越来越近。
甚至于···
此刻的自己，依旧还抱着膀子、脸上挂着高深莫测且带着一丝‘桀骜不驯’的笑容，但···
尼玛啊！
这桀骜给谁看？
这高深莫测···
岂不是打脸吗？！
啵~
陆鸣神魂的剑指终于轻飘飘点在二长老眉心。
一声轻响，好似什么都没发生。
可二长老却顿时明白，自己败了。
败的极为彻底！
因为，陆鸣竟然将一道微弱剑意送入了自己识海之内！！！
而自己，竟然全然无法防御。
换言之，自己竟然连‘神魂’都被‘定格’了。
只有思绪还在运转。
在这个前提之下，若是陆鸣想杀自己，自己根本挡不住，绝对会被斩杀！！！
自己败了。
而且，败的彻彻底底。
败的让自己感到绝望！
这···
这才是真正的，绝世天骄吗？
呼。
陆鸣神魂回归，周遭的一切随之恢复。
二长老大口喘息，看向陆鸣的神色，已然彻底变了。
说实话，他此刻有些懵逼。
懵逼的同时，也感到震惊且绝望。
而这一切，全都是因为陆鸣这太过逆天的实力。
他···着实有些想不明白。
你陆鸣咋就这么强呢？
简直强到变态！
论实力，自己真的不弱了啊！
如果说在第八境修士之中，宗主姬皓月当属当之无愧的第一批次，属于T0，那么自己，至少也是属于第二批次，算T1层次的存在吧？
否则，也没资格担任皓月宗的二长老啊！
结果。
你一个初入第七境的小年轻，将我秒了？？？
哪怕是我大意了。
哪怕是我装逼不成遭雷劈，可你这一剑出来，我动都动不了一下，全然无法反抗，也未免太过离谱且逆天了吧？
这···
这实力！
二长老的脸色突然一变。
他想到一个问题。
以陆鸣如此实力，若是想要解决、乃至暗杀自己，自己，还有活路吗？
没有！
绝对没有任何活路！
甚至，到死都不知道究竟是谁出的手。
死不瞑目！
什么以身入局、什么用自己的死来揭穿陆鸣？自己自以为是、自认为所谓周密的安排，在如此绝对的实力碾压之下，什么都不是！
完全是狗屁！
狗屁中的狗屁！
这一点，自己能想到，陆鸣也绝对能想到。
可是，他却并未对自己出手，直到自己提出交手、切磋之前，他甚至都没有半点动手的想法，而是想要晓之以情、动之以理将自己说服，让自己‘回心转意’。
这···
这是何等广阔的胸怀？
莫非···
自己其实真的错怪他了？
他并没有什么问题，只是与自己理念不合。
其实自己，才是真正有问题的那个？
难道是因为···
嫉妒？！
此时此刻。
二长老左思右想，完全想不出陆鸣到底哪里有问题。
若是他真有问题，自己却上蹿下跳、如此针对他，那他完全可以将自己暗杀，悄无声息的嘎了，谁也不会知道自己是怎么死的。
毕竟···
若是换了他，他必然会这么干！
老子有绝对的实力，你还敢上蹿下跳、屡次跟老子作对？你看老子杀不杀你就完了。
可是，陆鸣没这么干。
这难道还不足以说明问题吗？
所以···
有问题、错的那个人，真的是自己！
我···
我真不是人哪！
羞愧！
无与伦比的羞愧。
“陆长老。”
看着前方已然收手、含笑而立的陆鸣，二长老满脸羞愧、抱拳：“我明白了。”
“全都是我的错。”
“一直以来，都是我以小人之心度君子之腹。”
“还好此刻幡然醒悟，心服口服！希望为时不晚、只求陆长老莫要记恨才是。”
“从今往后，老夫愿追随陆长老左右，为您开疆扩土、以您马首是瞻、共同发展好宗门！！！”
“求陆长老···”
“忘记老夫过去的混账事。”
他躬身一拜。
心悦诚服。
陆鸣微微一笑，随即点头，更是飘然上前，将他扶起：“二长老言重了。”
"In the final analysis, we just have different ideas."
"It's all for the sect, so how can there be right or wrong?"
"Just talk it all out."
"In the future, we will work together to develop the sect."
“Yes, yes, yes!”
The second elder nodded repeatedly, his face full of smiles: "Work together to develop the sect!"
"That's how it should be. That's how it should be."
At this moment, Wen Ruyan, who was extremely worried about Lu Ming and even wanted to quietly contact the Great Elder and others to come to the rescue, was now dumbfounded.
I was also mesmerized by it.
A pair of beautiful eyes stared at Lu Ming and giggled.
Too strong!!
Is this the Elder Lu whom he admired? !
With the cultivation base of just entering the seventh realm, he forcefully defeated the second elder who was at the peak of the eighth realm, and even did it so casually, with only one move!!!
It really is a one-shot kill.
Even if you change your master, you still can’t do it, right?
Even if the master used all his means and could have defeated the Second Elder in one move, it would be impossible for him to do it so easily, and it would be even more impossible for him to be taken down without even the slightest resistance.
and···
His ability to handle sect affairs and resolve conflicts with elders was also amazing.
really!
Only by following Elder Lu can you learn more good things.
That sword...
So strong!
She squinted her eyes, looking extremely happy.
Lu Ming also wanted to laugh.
All I can say is...
It's a pleasant surprise.
Before he went to the Cliff of Regret, he never thought that he could completely subdue the Second Elder so easily.
Originally, I just wanted to show my strength, to make the second elder behave himself, and at the same time let the elders know my strength.
Results
It was such a coincidence that the Second Elder was so cooperative and even swore an oath to Heaven.
That···
If I don't take advantage of this opportunity, it would be a real waste.
Be careful of being struck by lightning!
As for strength...
In fact, Lu Ming quietly used his spiritual energy.
The sword Twenty-Three is driven by immortal energy, so it is so abnormal.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve this level.
Besides, this move consumes a lot of energy.
Worth it~
It's all worth it!
"Second Elder, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, there is no need to stay at this Cliff of Repentance."
Lu Ming chuckled and said, "Let's go down together."
"Now that the Sect Master is away, the sect is in great need of manpower. The Second Elder cannot hide here and slack off!"
"Of course I won't be lazy, but this..."
The second elder hesitated slightly and said, "I went to the cliff of reflection because of the sect master's punishment. The sect master did not give the order, so I am afraid it is not appropriate for me to go down the cliff of reflection now, right?"
"What's wrong?"
"I am the person involved. I have already forgiven you. Why would the Sect Master continue to embarrass you?"
"Or do you think the Sect Master dislikes you and has a grudge against you?"
Lu Ming's smile was like the Second Elder's spring breeze. He scratched his head and said, "Of course not."
"The master is selfless, why would he target me?"
"But... we still have to consider the face of the sect leader."
"after all···"
“Hey~!”
"No, no!"
Lu Ming immediately began to subtly engage in PUA and brainwashing.
"As the saying goes, those who achieve great things do not pay attention to trivial matters. Now that we are in need of people, how can we waste time on these red tapes?"
"If the sect's major plans are delayed because of these trivial matters, that would be extremely bad."
“Second Elder!!!”
"If I were you, as long as it's for the sect and good for the sect, I would never frown even if it meant my death or even having to work like a slave for a rival sect!"
"Don't worry about the Sect Master. When he returns, I will explain it myself."
"Go down the mountain."
"Well... Elder Lu is absolutely right. Thank you for your generosity."
The second elder vaguely felt that something was wrong.
But looking at Lu Ming's determined and 'selfless' expression...
Well, I must be overthinking it!
Then, the three of them went down the Cliff of Repentance together.
However, after coming down the mountain, before they could even sit down, a powerful enemy arrived!
Boom!!!
There were shouts that shook the heavens and the earth, resounding throughout the Haoyue Sect.
"The bastards from the Haoyue Sect."
"Come out and die!!!"
