Soon, a voice came from outside the valley and said, "Excuse me, is Hong Zhan here?"
Hong Zhan walked out of the dense fog area and saw several men standing outside the valley barrier.
The leader said very politely: "The sect master has an order, please go to Pingnan Hall to discuss matters. Elder Zhou Jingxuan said that the valley barrier is guarded against the outside but not inside, and you can easily get out."
Hong Zhan nodded and said, "Okay, wait a moment."
Turning his head, he walked back to the fog area and walked out with Shi Kuan covered in blood.
"Senior Brother Shi Kuan?" Several people exclaimed.
Shi Kuan's face was ugly for a while, he didn't shout anymore, he just lowered his head and didn't speak.
Hong Zhan said: "Let's go, lead the way!"
"Okay!" Several people said.
Everyone flew with their swords, and Hong Zhan also flew with their swords, soaring into the sky and flying into the depths of the Pingnan Sect.
In the center of the mountains, there is a large hall halfway up the highest peak, with the three characters "Pingnan Hall" written on it, and there is a huge square in front of the hall, where thousands of Pingnan Sect disciples are standing at the moment. They all looked respectfully at the twelve figures in front of the hall, including Zhou Wuyou and Zhou Jingxuan.
When Hong Zhan flew to the square, he guessed that these twelve people were the sect masters and elders of the Pingnan Sect, from his previous understanding, there were only some elders here, and some elders did not rush back.
In the center of these twelve people stood Zhou Wuyou and a woman in a red Taoist robe, the woman was tall, plump, with a slender neck and fair skin, but she was wearing a red mask on her face that covered her face.
The few people who led the way for Hong Zhan bowed respectfully to the woman in the red mask, and then returned to the ranks of the Pingnan Sect disciples.
In an instant, thousands of pairs of eyes were staring at Hong Zhan, as well as Shi Kuan holding in Hong Zhan's hand.
Zhou Jingxuan said in surprise: "Hong Zhan, why are you carrying Shi Kuan?"
"This thief broke into your valley barrier and wanted to steal the Purple Flame Spirit Fruit, but I caught him." Hong Zhan threw Shi Kuan to the ground and explained.
Zhou Jingxuan glared at Shi Kuan and said: "How did you break the barrier in my valley?"
Shi Kuan's face changed wildly, and he hurriedly shouted to one of the purple-robed elders: "Dad, save me, I didn't steal anything, my dantian was broken."
The purple-robed elder's face was terribly dark, he took a step forward, kicked Shi Kuan, and scolded: "What else do you want to steal? Bastard thing."
Syllable! Shi Kuan was kicked a few times before stopping, he spat blood and screamed repeatedly.
The purple-robed elder immediately bowed to the red-clothed sect master and said: "Sect Master, I have taught my son to be unjust, and he actually did such an ugly thing.
Hong Zhan squinted his eyes and watched, this person should be Elder Shi Sen, obviously Shi Kuan stole Zhou Jingxuan's things, but he asked the red-clothed Sect Master for punishment, the punishment was false, and the pleading was true.
The red-clothed sect master turned to look at Zhou Jingxuan and said: "Shi Kuan's attempted theft was unsuccessful, how do you want to solve it?"
Zhou Jingxuan frowned and said, "It's up to the sect master to decide."
The red-clothed sect master nodded and said, "Elder Shi Sen, what do you think of your son and his subordinates for stealing the elder's property, punishing him for breaking his dantian, abolishing his cultivation, and cutting off all positions, and publicizing it to the entire sect?"
Zhou Jingxuan sold her face, and she also returned Zhou Jingxuan a favor, which seemed to be an ordinary punishment, but it included all of Hong Zhan's actions, making all Hong Zhan's actions just.
"Thank you, Sect Master." Elder Shi Sen bowed respectfully.
Then, Shi Sen asked his disciple to take Shi Zhan down, and when he went down, Shi Kuan looked at Hong Zhan, a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes, as if he wanted to seek revenge on Hong Zhan later.
At this time, the red-clad Sect Master spoke again: "Everyone knows that thirty years ago, the life lamp of the former Sect Master Zhou Wuyou went out, and the sect elected me, Su Qianyan, to become the new Sect Master.
Everyone looked at Su Qianyan seriously.
"First, Zhou Wuyou is no longer the sect master of the Pingnan Sect, but the elder of the Pingnan Sect." Su Qianyan said.
Everyone looked at Zhou Wuyou in surprise, they thought Zhou Wuyou had come back to seize power, but now how could he be willing to be an elder?
"Second, Elder Xuan Gu and his disciples were on Ten Thousand Demon Island and plotted to hunt down Elder Zhou Jingxuan. Although Xuan Gu is dead, his crimes cannot be easily pardoned. All the disciples who went to Wanyao Island to hunt down Elder Zhou Jingxuan were all traitors to the Pingnan Sect, and all the disciples of the Pingnan Sect killed them together. The disciples of the Xuan Gu lineage who did not go to Ten Thousand Demon Island all abolished their cultivation and expelled them from the school." Su Qianyan said coldly.
"Yes!" Everyone responded.
They were all shocked, they didn't expect that the Xuan Gu lineage would be cleaned so thoroughly.
"Third, Hong Zhan was on Ten Thousand Demons Island, and he was credited with saving Elder Zhou Jingxuan and Elder Zhou Wuyou, and he was specially given the position of Elder Keqing, whose status was equivalent to that of an ordinary elder. Moreover, take over all the powers and resources of the Xuangu family." Su Qianyan said again.
"What? Elder Keqing? The status is equivalent to that of an ordinary elder?" Countless people's eyes widened.
They had heard about the name of Hong Zhan in the past few days, but in their impression, Hong Zhan was also an innate realm cultivation, and he had just abolished Shi Kuan, and he might have reached the True Sea Realm. But isn't it only the Immortal Fetus Realm in the sect that is qualified to become an elder?
However, the sect master and all the elders had made a decision, and they did not dare to refute.
Not far away, Shi Kuan, who had just been taken down, changed his expression, he was still thinking about retaliating against Hong Zhan, but how to retaliate now? Hong Zhan has become an elder, and his status is the same as his father, what should I do? He was so angry that his injuries attacked, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Meet Elder Hong." At this time, a disciple began to shout.
The other Pingnan Sect disciples looked complicated for a while, but they also bowed and said, "Meet Elder Hong."
Hong Zhan returned the salute to everyone, and then bowed slightly to Su Qianyan: "Thank you, Sect Master."
Su Qianyan nodded, reached out and waved her hand, and a merit halo blooming with brilliant light appeared behind her, she reached out and pointed, and with a buzz, a golden light gushed out of the merit halo and went straight into Hong Zhan's body.
It was a huge merit that attracted countless people to cast envy.
"Since you have taken over everything in the Xuangu lineage, these should be his merits, and now they are counted as yours." Su Qianyan said.
"Thank you!" Hong Zhan nodded.
Su Qianyan looked at the disciples from all directions and said: "Okay, you can step back."
"Yes!"
All the Pingnan Sect disciples retreated one after another, and three elders also retired, including Elder Shi Sen.
Su Qianyan then looked at Zhou Wuyou and said: "Elder Zhou, there are so many things to deal with, I wish you a smooth journey north."
Zhou Wuyou nodded and said: "The sect will leave it to you in the future."
Su Qianyan nodded, and then left.
Zhou Wuyou turned his head to look at the remaining six elders and said, "You get ready, we will set off in three hours."
"Yes!" The six elders left in response and went to prepare.
Obviously, they were all elders of the Zhou family faction and were about to go north with Zhou Wuyou.
Zhou Wuyou said again: "Xiaoxuan, you go clean up too, and in three hours, I will tell you to leave."
Zhou Jingxuan nodded, turned to call Hong Zhan, and flew back to the previous valley together.
In the valley, Zhou Jingxuan cleaned up briefly and said: "We have talked to Su Qianyan, she will arrange the next procedures for you later, you can find her if you have any questions."
"Okay!" Hong Zhan nodded and said.
"Su Qianyan is a trustworthy person, she promised my third uncle and I that she would take care of you." Zhou Jingxuan said.
She kept explaining to Hong Zhan, as if she was afraid that Hong Zhan would be wronged in Pingnan Sect.
"My path is not in Pingnan Sect, I won't stay here for long, after seeing the exercises in the Sutra Pavilion, I will leave, you don't have to worry about me." Hong Zhan said that he was doing judo.
Zhou Jingxuan's eyes were full of reluctance, but she didn't know what to say for a while, and after thinking about it, she said: "Why don't I cook you another meal?"
"I'll be with you." Hong Zhan said.
Zhou Jingxuan showed a bright smile. There were ready-made ingredients in the storage bracelet, she quickly got busy, this time she was not busy alone, and Hong Zhan was there to help her.
Soon, a sumptuous table of food was placed in front of him.
"Eat!"
"You eat too."
The two looked at each other and smiled, eating as usual. This time, Hong Zhan didn't say any more compliments, but just told him before leaving, saying that he was reluctant to give up.
Three hours soon arrived, and Zhou Wuyou's shout came from outside the valley: "Xiao Xuan, it's time to go."
Zhou Jingxuan's eyes were full of reluctance, but she still stood up, and Hong Zhan also got up to see her off.
Zhou Jingxuan bit her red lip lightly, was silent for a while, and suddenly said seriously: "Let me give you one more thing."
"Oh?" Hong Zhan was puzzled.
"Close your eyes." Zhou Jingxuan said.
Hong Zhan was puzzled, but out of trust in Zhou Jingxuan, he still closed his eyes.
The next moment, a fresh fragrance came to his nose, and then, a warm red lip was imprinted on his face, making his heart tremble, and he quickly opened his eyes.
But she saw Zhou Jingxuan retreating with a flushed face, this was her first time kissing a man, and she was a little overwhelmed for a while.
"I'm leaving." Zhou Jingxuan blushed and rushed towards the valley entrance.
Hong Zhan touched his damp cheeks, emotionally agitated, he chased out of the valley, but saw Zhou Wuyou flying away with Zhou Jingxuan wrapped in him, and his heart suddenly felt empty.
