Chapter 657 Jiang Chen's Secret Mission
Jiang Chen also rushed over to the Netherworld Legion, and his current wife Zixi had asked about the identity of the elder.
But this matter is strange. Even the senior figures of the Demon Sect Presbyterian Church like them don’t know. According to Zi Xi, it may be that only the second elder Huangfu Qingtian and another third elder who saw the head but didn’t see the tail have seen the eldest elder.
Jiang Chen walked into the hall of the city lord's mansion with a lot of questions, but saw a huge map of China's mainland hanging on the wall, and a thin black masked man stood on the stage.
Jiang Chen looked at the masked man in black and felt familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember who was coming. At this moment, he saw an old man with a white beard who looked about sixty years old and had a silver hair on his head, and stood side by side with the masked man in black.
Jiang Chen stayed here for two months and was familiar with many senior officials of the Demon Sect Presbyterian Church. He had already recognized that this old man was Zilou, who had served as the great elder in the Heavenly Demon Sect before. Of course, he now knew that Zilou was actually the leader of the Netherworld Sect. Through his training in the Heavenly Demon Sect, he re-entered the path of immortal cultivation. He miraculously advanced to the God Transformation Stage twenty years ago.
This incident made everyone in the Netherworld Sect very excited. Although they are one of the seven super sects, they have never had any cultivators in the God Transformation Stage. Now Zilou has been promoted to the God Transformation Stage. They finally let them down.
In the world where strength is respected in the Shenzhou Continent, although the Netherworld Sect is not the largest sect in the Demon Sect, Zilou's strength forced everyone to respect him. Moreover, his other identity is the elder of the Demon Sect Presbyterian Church. Therefore, he became the nominal supreme leader of the Demon Sect's four million monks.
Zilou pointed to the masked man in black at this time. Then he introduced to the senior monks of the legions present: "Friends, this is the special envoy sent by the Great Elder. He brought us the combat orders issued by the Demon Sect Presbyterian Church. Now, the special envoy will read out the combat orders!"
A burst of applause sounded in the venue. It was obvious that the masked envoy did not convince everyone, because his cultivation level was only in the late stage of the Nascent Soul.
The envoy seemed to realize this. After taking out the combat order from his arms, he did not read it immediately. Instead, he handed it over to Zilou and signaled that Zilou would read it.
But Zilou obviously respected the envoy very much. He immediately took the order with a respectful look on his face and began to read it after nodding slightly.
"Jiang Jianbo, the leader of the Imperial Vessel Sect, obeyed the order!" Zilou said loudly.
"I'm here!" Jiang Jianbo stepped forward and stood with his head down.
"The Great Elder ordered: Let your troops of the Imperial Arts Sect attack towards Shengjie Pass in the west, and after conquering Shengjie Pass, encircle Luokou City from the left wing!" Zilou said solemnly.
"I will do my best to complete the task of the Great Elder!" Jiang Jianbo also replied with a serious expression.
Zilou and the envoy nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "The Lord of the Demon Spirit Valley, Dan Taiming, obeyed the order!"
"I'm here!" Dan Tai Ming also stepped forward and walked and said with a respectful look.
Zilou Fang said: "The Great Elder ordered your troops in the Demon Spirit Valley to attack the eastward Flan River defense line. After forcing the Flan River to cross the Flan River, do not stop, and go straight to Hulao Pass and cut off the retreat of the righteous troops."
"Sir, obey the order!" Tan Tai Ming also took the order without hesitation.
"The head of the Wan Beast Sect, the Venerable of Wan Beasts, obeys the order!"
“…”
Zilou continued to read one by one. All the troops of the Demon Sect's legions received almost the mission.
At the end, Zilou said: "The Great Elder ordered our Netherworld Sect to attack in the middle to deal with the Central Army on the right path! The total attack will begin in three days! Now everyone should go back and prepare!"
At this time, Jiang Chen was stunned because he had not arranged a task for him. He quickly asked, "Senior Zilou. Have you missed the idea? Why don't you have my task?"
When Zilou heard this, she felt that it seemed that Jiang Chen had not arranged anything.
Just as he picked up the page of orders again and looked carefully, the envoy said, "Sect Master Jiang, you have other arrangements. The Great Elder asked me to send you an oral message!"
The commanders of the legions in the hall whispered, thinking that Jiang Chen was at best just a small sect leader who had just entered the late stage of the Nascent Soul. Although he served as the commander of the Jingzhou Legion, the smallest legion, it was not enough to let the great elder pay so much attention to it. He sent him a message specifically? You must know that among these four million troops, there are seventeen or eighteen great monks in the late stage of the Nascent Soul, and Jiang Chen is not very prominent in it. Why did the mysterious elder pay so much attention to him?
Jiang Chen followed the envoy to a secret room with a suspicion. The envoy took off his mask and smiled and said, "Jiang Chen, it's me!"
"Ah! Senior Brother Huangfu! It's you?!" Jiang Chen was so surprised now. Although he felt that the envoy was a little familiar, he still didn't expect Huangfu Nitian to go.
"Jiang Chen, the Great Elder asked me to pass on the oral metaphor to you separately because there is an extremely important task to be handed over to you!" Huangfu Nitian said.
"Oh? What's the mission?" Jiang Chen asked hurriedly.
"I wonder if you still remember what my grandfather asked you to accomplish?" Huangfu Nitian asked back.
"Of course I remember! It's just the truth of the truth of the righteous path? But my strength is limited, and I have been busy practicing for many years, so I don't have much information..." Jiang Chen said with a slightly red face. He has received guidance from Huangfu Qingtian more than once, especially this time, he can only advance to the late stage of the Nascent Soul, but he didn't help him do anything.
"After the war between Zhengdao began, we arranged a second group of people to go to Zhengdao to spy on the information. Now they have successfully sneaked into Zhongzhou City, the base camp of Zhengdao. They found that there was a treasure in the city, which was strictly guarded by Zhengdao Zhongmen. It is said that the leader of the Zhengdao Alliance was ready to rely on this treasure to turn the world. Therefore, whether we can get this treasure is a crucial matter for our Demon Sect! The location of this treasure is in the basement of the Zhengdao Alliance Leader Hall in Zhongzhou City, but the guards there are tightly. I am afraid that idlers will not be able to get in." Huangfu Nitian said jokingly.
When Jiang Chen heard this, he was shocked. He knew a little about the situation in Zhongzhou City. He knew that his status in the righteous path was the same as that of the Holy City in the Demon Sect. The Lord's Hall was equivalent to the residence of the Demon Sect Presbyterian Church.
The guards there are not ordinary strict. The guards in the Alliance Leader's Hall were all Jindan-stage cultivators, and the patrol captains had reached the level of the Nascent Soul stage, not to mention the commander-level people. The formations and hidden weapons inside were emerging one after another.
Jiang Chen thought that only masters like Huangfu Qingtian or Zilou, who are in the God Transformation Stage, could sneak in.
Huangfu Nitian seemed to see Jiang Chen's thoughts, and he laughed and said, "Young Brother Jiang doesn't have to worry too much. The defense of the Alliance Leader's Palace is indeed very strict. Even if all the late-stage Nascent Soul masters here gather together, they may not be able to kill them. Therefore, if you want to enter the Alliance Leader's Palace, you can only be smart, not rude!"
"Then how can we learn from the truth?" Jiang Chen asked curiously.
"I can only dress up as someone else and go in!" Huangfu Nitian smiled slightly, then patted his hands twice.
At this time, the door of another room in the secret room opened. Then bursts of screams like a pig slaughtering came from it.
Jiang Chen seemed a little familiar when he heard the scream. He walked in and saw a thin middle-aged Taoist priest tied inside.
"Zhen Feihong?" Jiang Chen was shocked when he saw this. When he was in the Arctic Ice Palace, he once met this person and knew that he was an elder of the Huashan Sect. Although he only had the initial stage of the Nascent Soul cultivation, he had great power in the Huashan Sect and was arrogant and extravagant. Even the sect leader dared not deal with him. There have been rumors in the righteous path that Feihong Zhenren was the illegitimate son of Zixusanren, the leader of the righteous path alliance, but I don't know if it is true.
"Yes! The righteous army stationed at Hulao Pass is the Qinzhou Legion. The position of Feihong Zhenren is the deputy commander of the army, but he is a self-respecting himself as an elder of the Huashan Sect and does not take the commander seriously at all. He often runs out to nearby towns to drink and have fun, and he will never return for a few days. These situations are clearly grasped by our spies. Therefore, he was successfully captured when he was drunk." Huangfu Nitian said.
Jiang Chen vaguely guessed something: "What the great elder means..."
"Yes! You should know better than me how powerful the disguise technique of the Netherworld Sect is! You are half a member of the Netherworld Sect!" Huangfu Nitian said with a smile.
That beautiful figure suddenly appeared in Jiang Chen's mind. Isn't his wife Zixi just good at disguise?
Zixi not only has deep affection for herself, but also has guided her practice and sword skills. Unfortunately, she is really sorry for her. With so many women, she has let her down.
"Hey, Zixi, I heard that you are in seclusion and preparing to break through the God Transformation Period. I hope that after this battle, we can have a happy life." Jiang Chen said in his heart. He had learned from Zilou, the leader of the Netherworld Sect, that Zixi was in seclusion and attacking the God Transformation Realm.
"Jiang Chen, your task is to pretend to be Feihong Zhenren. After Dan Tai Ming led the army of the Demon Spirit Valley to raid Hulao Pass, he pretended to be defeated and retreated to Zhongzhou City to report the news. In this way, you can successfully enter Zhongzhou City. After we checked, Feihong Zhenren was the illegitimate son of Zixusanren, the leader of the righteous alliance, was not just a rumor, but a real thing. He was able to become an elder of the Huashan Sect and hold power, which was also because Zixusanren was his backstage." Huangfu Nitian suddenly said this shocking but expected news.
After pausing, he explained in detail: "Because Feihong Zhenren is the illegitimate son of the leader of the Zhengdao Alliance, it is normal for him to visit the leader after he returned to Zhongzhou City. The residence of the leader of the Zhengdao Alliance happened to be in the bedroom behind the Lord's Hall. According to the information provided by our insider, at midnight, the guards of the Lord's Hall will change shifts. When changing shifts, the guards of the two shifts will hand over in front of the hall. At this time, you can climb over the courtyard wall and enter the Lord's Hall."
"This..." Jiang Chen felt that there were still many problems, "What should I do after entering the Alliance Leader's Hall? How to enter the underground secret room?"
"So that's why you must go. The underground secret room will automatically check its identity when someone enters. Only the leader, deputy leader, heads and elders of the ten major sects of Zhengdao Alliance can enter! Once other people enter, they will be immediately wiped out by the special ancient ban inside!" Huangfu Nitian said patiently.
"I'm so faint! Do you want me to die? Then how could I get in?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but shout.
Huangfu Nitian laughed and said, "Jiang Chen, have you forgotten? You have served as the elder of the Arctic Ice Palace? There is an elder's identity waist card issued by the Arctic Ice Palace. Although you were removed from the Arctic Ice Palace, your waist card was not taken back. As far as we know, this matter has always been regarded as a sect scandal and has not reported the righteous alliance at all. Therefore, your waist card can still play a role when entering the righteous alliance. You can still enter the underground secret room. As for where the treasure is, we don't know, but you can use this spiritual compass to detect it. As long as a foreign object with a powerful aura appears within a hundred feet of it, you can sense it!"
After saying that, Huangfu Nitian took out something similar to a compass and handed it to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen picked up the compass and looked at it for a while, then put it in his pocket.
"Jiang Chen, if you really can't take the treasure back, just destroy it! This is related to the life and death of our Demon Sect." Huangfu Nitian said solemnly.
"Hey, Senior Brother Huangfu, after you say this, I feel very stressed! If you succeed, you will be the hero of the Demon Sect, and if you lose, you will be the sinner!" Jiang Chen smiled bitterly.
"I have confidence in you! Look at which time you have not created a miracle? Let everyone who doubt you look at you with admiration. I believe you will also create a miracle again this time!" Huangfu Nitian said loudly with Jiang Chen's hand tightly.
"Okay! I'll do my best!" Jiang Chen had no choice but to nod and agreed.
Then, Jiang Chen returned to the military camp and handed over some of the matters in the Jingzhou Expeditionary Legion to Bing Yuling for handling. Then he lied that he was going to see the Great Elder, quietly left the military camp, and sneaked into Hulao Pass. He also met several scattered righteous army scouts along the way, and all of them were easily solved by him.
Jiang Chen arrived at Hulao Pass without any danger and then began to disguise.
When the righteous monks at the pass saw that it was Feihong's real person who was back, they did not dare to interrogate him anymore, so they quickly put him in.
The Feihong Zhenren relies on the illegitimate son of the leader of the Zhengdao Alliance. He is arrogant and has not had much contact with other senior monks of the righteous path in Hulao Pass, and no one wants to deal with him, so Jiang Chen spent a few days of leisure.
