The hall master appears
Xiao Ze's legs were pulled by an unknown force, and then his vision went dark, and he arrived at a place that looked like a tunnel.
No way, just thinking about it, I actually reached the underground?
Fortunately, the night vision of monks is much better than that of mortals, so Xiao Ze did not hit the wall.
Walking forward along the dark tunnel, after an unknown amount of time, Xiao Ze finally saw a faint light ahead.
When I got closer, I found that the light was coming from two candles on a table.
There was a black box placed in the middle of the candle, and the box was covered with black gas that was visible to the naked eye.
"believer."
Huh? Believer? Me?
A series of question marks popped up in Xiao Ze's mind.
"I already know everything that happened just now. You did very well. When I break the seal, I will definitely make you the Left Guardian of the Soul Devouring Hall."
Xiao Ze already had a guess about the identity of the black smoke: "Are you, the hall master?"
"Not bad." Heiyan seemed very satisfied with Xiao Ze's respect, and his tone was always good.
Xiao Ze was shocked. It was the hall master, and he knew clearly what happened in Shucheng. Then, the fact that he weakened the formation and left a mark must have been seen clearly by the hall master!
Anyway, let's give it a try.
Xiao Ze prostrated himself on the ground and earnestly apologized to the Hall Master: "Thank you for your kindness. I failed to complete the mission this time, and my only apology is death!"
A puff of black smoke extended from the box and helped Xiao Ze up: "Don't blame yourself. Setting up a formation already carries the risk of being discovered, not to mention that among the people who came this time is my destined enemy."
Huh? Xiao Ze looked puzzled.
"He is the one who intended to bring you back to the sect for punishment. These sects are really despicable. I don't know how they found him and have been training him until now. That good-for-nothing Right Protector, I told him two things to do before I was sealed, and he didn't accomplish either one!" The hall master was very angry when he mentioned the Right Protector.
"The right protector may be too busy. Not long ago, an undercover agent was exposed, which led to all the sects starting to investigate, and many spies of the Soul-Devouring Hall were eliminated. Don't you know, Hall Master?" Xiao Ze tried again.
The Hall Master sighed, "I was severely injured when I was sealed, and the formation you set up this time gave me the opportunity to wake up. When I woke up, I saw you being besieged by various sects, so I took action to rescue you."
It seemed that the hall master knew nothing about what happened before, and Xiao Ze felt relieved.
After hearing what the hall master said, Xiao Ze still knelt on his knees, cupped his hands and said: "Hall master, I will never forget your kindness in saving my life, but I will obey your orders."
The Soul Devouring Hall Master was genuinely delighted, saying "good" three times before saying, "It's not advisable to stay here for long. Please take me back to the Soul Devouring Hall. I have many things to ask the Right Protector."
"Yes." Xiao Ze took the box and successfully returned to the Soul-Devouring Hall under the guidance of the hall master.
When the life plates of the other people on this trip shattered, the Right Protector knew that the plan had failed. He was extremely anxious and was about to go to Shucheng himself when Xiao Ze returned, holding the thing he had been worried about.
The hall master was placed on a chair on a high platform, and the right protector knelt down in fear and trepidation to apologize.
The two of them might have something they wanted to keep from being heard by others, so Xiao Ze didn't stay around for long before he was sent away by the hall master in the name of "having a good rest".
After returning to his room and setting up a barrier, Xiao Ze lay on the bed, one leg leisurely crossed over the other, thinking about what to do next.
The leader of the Soul-Devouring Hall has just woken up and cannot even break the seal. He must be very weak. This is why Xiao Ze is willing to listen to him and bring him back.
If the location of the Soul Devouring Hall is secretly spread at this time, if other sects come to attack, they can eliminate this evil cult with fewer casualties.
But how can we spread the news without anyone noticing and without alerting the people in the Soul Devouring Hall until the people from other sects arrive?
While he was thinking hard, something rushed towards Xiao Ze like a cannonball.
Unable to dodge, the thing hit Xiao Ze's chest.
With a "bang", Xiao Ze rubbed his chest with a grin, stood up and angrily scolded the system: "What are you doing? Don't you know it hurts?"
The system was about to cry, its tone furious: "I'll let you die of pain! You're a bastard, do you know what you've done? I haven't been here long enough for you to cause me such a big mess!"
"Ah, this..." Xiao Ze touched his nose guiltily and laughed.
"I just wanted to see where the plot was going, so I took out the script, and guess what? It was all red!" The system threw a thick book on the bed.
This was the first time Xiao Ze saw the script of his own world. On the surface, it looked similar to an ordinary book, except that the content was divided into several parts, and the degree of completion of each part would be displayed at the end.
When I turned to the current plot point, the text was mostly red, which was really glaring and I really didn't want to read it.
The system couldn't stop talking, and kept accusing Xiao Ze angrily: "Why did you save Su Qingjun? And let him break the barrier? Originally, the leader of the Soul Devouring Hall could break the seal this time and lead the Soul Devouring Hall to fight against the righteous path. What will happen to the plot later if you do this?"
"Also, why are you the one who goes to meet the Soul Devouring Hall Master? Jiang Xi should be the one who goes to meet him! He's the protagonist! If you change this plot, where will the protagonist be? What will happen to the protagonist? What will happen to the future relationship between the protagonist and the hall master?"
Xiao Ze was stunned. "Isn't the hall master a great devil? He brought disaster to the world and killed countless people at his hands? How can he have a romantic connection with the protagonist?"
"Why not? In the end, the hall master fell in love with Jiang Xi and was willing to change for him. Is that not possible? Do you know what it means to be a prodigal son who returns home?" The system roared, as if it had foreseen the end of being sent back to the factory for warranty repair.
"Tsk, let's not talk about whether the hall master is a prodigal son or not. Even if he does, you can't deny that he was a piece of trash before he turned back. Besides, how do you know he won't turn back again and bring disaster to the world again?"
The system couldn't refute it, and could only rage helplessly: "I don't care, I didn't write this book, I'm just responsible for ensuring the plot develops according to what's written in the book. You must change the plot for me now, otherwise, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Xiao Ze asked in a somewhat mean tone.
The system was so angry. He really didn't know what harm it would bring to Xiao Ze if he didn't follow the plot.
"Okay, don't worry. The story has reached this point and there's no going back. Just enjoy this time. If your Lord God really blames you, just push me out and say I kidnapped you."
"You, you..." The system was filled with sorrow, but it also knew that what Xiao Ze said was right. The plot had become so distorted, how could it be turned back?
Just give up directly.
The system took the book back and didn't plan to take it out again. He didn't care how the world developed in the future!
Xiao Ze approached the system with a smile and patted his petal head: "Did you forget something?"
"What's the matter?" The system looked up.
"I remember half a month ago, you told me that Su Qingjun's injury was almost healed. But when I saw him in Shucheng, why did he still look like he was seriously injured?" Xiao Ze's voice gradually became eerie.
The system felt guilty and turned away, not daring to look at Xiao Ze: "Ah, really? Then maybe I saw it wrong. I was a bit far away at the time, and he looked quite good."
"Really?"
"Really." The system's words were harder than stone.
But Xiao Ze didn't buy his tricks and said directly: "If you want me to let this matter go, that's fine. Please help me deliver a letter to Su Qingjun."
"What letter are you sending?" the system asked vigilantly, "What bad things are you planning to do?"
"Anyway, the plot has already collapsed like this, so this little bit doesn't matter." Xiao Ze smiled mysteriously.
The system had no choice but to resign itself to its fate. After all, it was he who had captured Xiao Ze, this disobedient soul. Whatever suffering he had, he could only swallow it in his heart.
I felt that my petals had turned bitter. The system stroked my petals and felt bitter in my heart.
Looking at him like that, Xiao Ze felt that he was a bit cruel to the system, but now there was such a good opportunity to strangle the Soul Devouring Hall in its cradle, and it would be extremely foolish not to seize it.
However, this letter will probably have to wait a while before it's delivered. Because Xiao Ze hasn't thought of a perfect plan yet, but he is sure that he will need Su Qingjun's assistance when the time comes.
The system rolled its eyes: "Then why are you telling me now?"
"This requires your consent in advance, as you play a decisive role." Xiao Ze said.
He praised the system to the sky with just two sentences. The system was very happy and didn't bother with him.
————
As soon as he returned to the sect, Su Qingjun was told that the sect leader was waiting for him.
The head of the sect sat on a chair on the high platform, looking very majestic. On both sides of him were the elders, all with serious expressions.
It seems that the news that the righteous sect gained nothing and suffered serious injuries has been reported back to the sect.
"Master." Su Qingjun bowed respectfully to the headmaster.
"Hmm. I heard that many righteous disciples were injured this time. What happened?"
Su Qingjun detailed the Soul Devouring Hall's ambush. Once a cultivator entered this formation, their spiritual power would be drained away while they were unconscious, leading to death.
Hearing this, most of the elders present began to panic.
After all, many of the people who went to Shucheng this time were Nascent Soul Elders, and some even had higher cultivation than them, and they were all caught unawares. If they ran into them, wouldn't they be killed?
After hesitating for a long time, Su Qingjun finally told everyone about Xiao Ze. Even if he didn't say it now, someone would tell the headmaster and other elders later.
The headmaster sighed and said, "Qingjun, now you can finally believe that Xiao Ze has betrayed the sect. You can no longer oppose the decision to expel him from the sect."
Su Qingjun still shook his head: "Disciple still disagrees."
"Why is that?"
"Master, the fact that Xiao Ze is a disciple of the Tianxuan Sect is known to all other sects. If we don't punish him, or even arrest him, and directly announce his expulsion from the sect, the other sects will probably think that we can't even catch a traitorous disciple, and they will probably laugh at us behind our backs."
Su Qingjun's arguments were well-reasoned, and the other elders nodded in agreement.
"In that case, the task of capturing Xiao Ze will be handed over to you." said the leader.
"Yes. Master, there is one more thing."
"Oh? What else?" The sect leader had already stood up, intending to let Su Qingjun go back and have a good rest, but when he heard what he said, he sat back down.
"In Shucheng, I met Jiang Xi, the disciple who was expelled from the sect for trespassing into the forbidden area. There was also a disciple named Tu Sihua who had been following him."
"Jiang Xi's behavior is not right, but Tu Sihua insisted on following him. I took the initiative and asked him to withdraw from the Tianxuan Sect. I hope Master will not blame me."
The head of the sect looked at Master Tu Sihua standing beside him, and the elder nodded indifferently.
The headmaster then said to Su Qingjun, "You naturally have the power to decide on such trivial matters."
"Yes, thank you, Master."
Seeing that Su Qingjun hadn't left yet, the Sect Leader guessed what he wanted to ask but hesitated to ask: "You want to ask why I look at Jiang Xi differently, right?"
"Master's wisdom."
"When Jiang Xi entered the sect, I divined him. The divination indicated that Jiang Xi was destined to help you save the world. However, everything that has happened since then has left me very confused. However, I have to leave some room for maneuver when dealing with him."
So that's how it is. No wonder when Jiang Xi was kidnapped in Taiping City, the leader hesitated to take action for fear of hurting him.
