The meeting of clan elders lasted only half an hour.
Fang Lezhong did not tell everyone about his plan, but just asked everyone to wait patiently.
He probably wanted to take all the credit for this matter.
From beginning to end, no one noticed Xu Chong's existence.
Xu Chong did not stop either. He hid among the elders and followed them out of the tomb.
It's a pity that the phantom body has a limited duration, otherwise, he really wants to stay in the council hall and see how much spiritual source can be generated here in one day in the outside world.
"Why are you all going down the mountain?"
Xu Chong frowned.
The twelve elders, including Fang Lezhong, were all walking down the mountain.
Only when passing by the mountainside did they all glance at the pavilion vaguely, and then continued down.
They had almost reached the outermost circle before the group of old men and women each chose a tomb to enter.
The picture is really weird.
The same thing happened to Fang Lezhong, except that the tomb he chose had just been opened and a young man walked out of it.
"Uh...uncle."
The young man was stunned and saluted quickly.
"Um."
Fang Lezhong nodded and asked, "You came out now, are you preparing for a breakthrough?"
"Uncle, yes."
The young man's eyes were a little evasive, "Xian Zong has had some insights recently, and there should be no more obstacles in the Tongmai realm. If nothing unexpected happens, he can break through to the ninth level of Tongmai in one fell swoop."
"Is that so..."
Fang Lezhong pondered for a moment and sighed: "The Yellow Level Training Hall only has ten times the age, where is the blood talisman?"
"exist!"
Fang Xianzong quickly reached into his bosom, took out a jade talisman with a trace of blood on it, and handed it over respectfully.
Fang Lezhong also took out a jade talisman, but the blood line on his jade talisman was thicker.
The two jade talismans touched each other, and a faint light flashed on the one belonging to Fang Xianzong.
"The Earth-level training hall lasts fifty times longer. You can stay in there for five years."
Fang Lezhong put away the jade talisman and warned: "If you want to get out again after five years, you must follow others."
"Xianzong understands."
Fang Xianzong bowed respectfully.
"Well, go ahead."
Fang Lezhong waved his hand and walked towards the still open tomb.
Fang Xianzong maintained his saluting posture and waited until the tomb was closed before he slowly straightened up.
Ecstasy burst out from his face.
"Earth-level training hall!"
“Five years!!!”
"As long as I can break through the Body Cleansing within five years, I may be able to get a place in the Zheng Family Pure Land..."
“And once I can enter the Pure Heaven, the inner demons of the Body Cleansing Realm will no longer have any chance of bothering me…”
“Who knows, I can break through to the ninth level of body cleansing in one fell swoop and return to the Spring and Autumn Tomb to cultivate the Dao!”
"When the time comes..."
Fang Xianzong muttered to himself, a trace of resentment flashing in his eyes.
It took me a long while to calm down and climb up the mountain path.
Xu Chong followed behind, thinking quickly.
Five years, if it were outside the tomb, it would only be a little more than a month, and the phantom body could definitely hold on.
The only problem is that the phantom body is only created by paranormal techniques after all, and it does not have independent consciousness like an external incarnation.
If you go too far away, or enter the tomb like before, you will not be able to control the phantom in real time.
At this time, the phantom body is just a piece of wood and can do nothing.
If Fang Lezhong came to force him again during the time he was in the tomb, he would most likely be exposed.
"Kill this Fang Xianzong, take the jade talisman and take his place?"
Xu Chong had an idea, but rejected it immediately. "Let's go in first. Even if we want to kill someone, we have to find out the identity and habits of Fang Xianzong first."
Having made up his mind, Xu Chong didn't think any more about it. He just controlled his phantom body to put on a very complicated expression as he passed by the mountainside.
It looked like 'could you please stop talking and let me think about it'.
A moment later, Xu Chong followed Fang Xianzong to the top of the mountain.
There are only three tombs on the top of the mountain, and their appearance is no different from those at the foot of the mountain.
On the tombstone in the middle, the words "Spring and Autumn" are engraved.
Fang Xianzong looked at the tombs on both sides and finally walked to the left.
Likewise, the tomb was split, revealing a downward passage.
Xu Chong followed behind and went down the stairs.
But before he reached the end, he bumped into a short man.
"Hey, look who is this?"
The short man looked at Fang Xianzong jokingly, "Why, you, a useless guy with a first-level Tongmai level, are allowed to enter the Earth-level training hall? Is the sixth branch of the family almost extinct?"
"Fang Xianyu!"
Fang Xianzong's face flushed instantly and he glared at the short man.
——Bang!
A merciless slap was delivered to Fang Xianzong's face.
Fang Xianyu grabbed Fang Xianzong's hair and pulled him in front of him, "Why, you're not convinced?"
"It's no use not to be convinced."
"I'm not afraid to tell you that I have already reached the ninth level of Tongmai."
Fang Xianyu smiled and patted Fang Xianzong's cheek: "A loser is a loser. If you were not lucky enough to be born in the legitimate bloodline, you would not even be qualified to enter the Spring and Autumn Tomb."
"I give you two choices, get out of here or die."
Fang Xianyu let go of Fang Xianzong and said, "Choose."
select?
There is no choice at all!
"I...get out..."
The two words uttered from between his teeth, and Fang Xianzong bent down in humiliation, curling up and rolling over.
Plop, plop.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Fang Xianyu smiled happily and walked up the stairs.
"Sure enough, the character problems of this Fang family are not a little bit."
Xu Chong shook his head, floated down, and reached the bottom before Fang Xianzong landed.
The space here is much smaller than the meeting hall.
There is no hall, only a long corridor that you can see to the end.
There are stone chambers on both sides of the long path, marked with words such as A, B, C, and D. Most of the stone doors are closed, and only three or five are open.
Fang Xianzong stood up, regardless of his disheveled appearance, and chose the nearest stone chamber to enter.
The blood talisman was pasted on the groove on one side of the door frame, and with a roar, the stone door slowly closed.
"Fang Xianyu!!!"
The moment the stone door closed, Fang Xianzong turned around and punched it hard.
The punch was too sudden, and Xu Chong was hit by a hair's breadth.
"Fang Xianyu! You son of a bitch!"
"Why do you dare to look down on me?! Why dare?!"
"Hehehe, hehe, the ninth level of Tongmai, so what?"
"Choosing to go out means you are not sure of breaking through and washing your body!"
"You say I'm a loser , but aren't you also a loser?"
"Just wait, I will definitely break through the cleansing and get the chance to go to the Pure Heaven earlier than you!"
Fang Xianzong roared madly, punching the stone gate again and again, constantly venting the anger in his heart.
Xu Chong saw it and couldn't help but shook his head.
That Pure Heaven, it sounds like it should have the ability to dispel one's inner demons.
But the problem is that you need to break through the body cleansing realm before you can go.
Fang Xianzong's state of mind was obviously a bit difficult.
"Wait, wait! Wait until I succeed in cultivating the Tao..."
Fang Xianzong looked up to the sky and roared: "I will kill you!!!"
kill?
Xu Chong's heart was moved, and he suddenly asked: "Aren't you afraid of being heard?"
"Hear? What a joke. The stone door has been closed. Even the elders..."
Fang Xianzong was filled with emotions and answered subconsciously.
Before he could finish his words, he reacted.
There was no possibility of any sound coming from the stone chamber of the training hall!
Therefore, the sound did not come from the next door, but from inside the stone chamber!!
Subconsciously, Fang Xianzong reached out to open the stone door.
Unfortunately it's too late.
An invisible big hand suddenly grabbed Fang Xianzong's neck and threw him to the ground.
With just this one move, Fang Xianzong vomited blood and his consciousness became briefly blurred.
Xu Chong placed one foot on Fang Xianzong's chest, pressing his throat to make his voice sound older: "You intend to kill your own people, do you know what crime you should be punished for?"
"What crime should be committed..."
Fang Xianzong's pupils suddenly shrank into pinpoints: "You are not a member of the Fang family?!"
“…”
Xu Chong's heart sank, but he was not panicked.
He did have the intention of pretending to be an elder and asking questions, but it didn't matter if it really didn't work.
After all, Fang Xianzong's previous words, actions and reactions have already proved that the stone chamber can isolate movement and noise.
If it really doesn't work, just kill people and take the talisman, then stay in the training hall until you become invincible.
"You guessed right, I am indeed not from the Fang family."
Xu Chong made a final attempt, "So, either answer my question or die."
Fang Xianzong’s face turned pale instantly.
Xu Chong was not in a hurry. He just waited quietly to see if the other party would beg for mercy.
However, after a while, Fang Xianzong suddenly laughed and said, "I can tell you anything you want to know, but you have to do one thing for me, otherwise I would rather die."
"What's up?"
Xu Chong said calmly.
"Just like you heard before...Kill Fang Xianyu!"
Fang Xianzong's face showed viciousness.
Xu Chong narrowed his eyes, "You two are from the same clan. I don't really believe that you have any deep hatred."
"Do you know why I could guess so quickly that you are not from the Fang family?"
Fang Xianzong asked, and then said: "In fact, let alone the Fang family, you are not even from the three major families."
"Because, in the three major families, killing one's peers is not a crime."
"As long as it's one against one between peers, it's fine even if it's just the strong bullying the weak."
"Don't mention that I said this in the practice room. Even if I say this outside, or even if I really kill Fang Xianyu, I will definitely not be punished."
As he spoke, Fang Xianzong's expression became a little complicated: "Don't be afraid of you laughing at me, my father and my brother both died this way."
Xu Chong was silent for a moment, then he moved his foot away from Fang Xianzong's chest and asked, "Why do the three major families do this?"
"Because the cave is isolated from the outside world."
Fang Xianzong sat up and replied, "The direct descendants of the three major families lack the opportunity to communicate with the outside world. If they want to remain strong forever, they must make the internal competition cruel... This is what my father told me before he died."
Isn't this just pure Gu breeding...
No wonder they don’t feel like family to each other even though they are from the same ethnic group.
Xu Chong was thoughtful. "If you ask me to take action, it would be against the rules. If I am discovered..."
"I will be publicly executed."
Fang Xianzong smiled bitterly, "But I have no other choice..."
"Don't think that I was yelling so loudly just now. In fact, I was just venting my anger."
"Fang Xianyu has almost become my inner demon. I have a premonition that if I don't kill him, let alone cultivate the Tao, I will probably die the moment I break through the Body Cleansing Realm."
"And he was already ahead of me, one step slower than the other. It was almost impossible for me to kill him on my own."
"In other words... my life is ruined!"
"To be honest, my previous plan was to continue practicing after reaching the ninth level of Tongmai, and I was betting that I wouldn't die after the body wash. As long as I didn't die, I still had a chance..."
As he spoke, Fang Xianzong's eyes lit up: "But now it's different. As long as you help me kill him, I can tell you everything I know, and I will cooperate with you in whatever you want to do."
"Let me hear your plan."
Xu Chong said calmly, "A plan that is enough to convince me to believe in you."
"good!"
Fang Xianzong stood up and began to pace back and forth.
It was not until this time that Xu Chong had time to observe the stone chamber.
Just like the meeting hall, it was as bright as day even without any light source.
But the material conditions are far worse.
The entire stone chamber is about ten square meters. There is not even a table or chair. There is only a stone couch against the wall, a water tank in the corner, and a wooden rack.
The water tank was full of clean water, and on the wooden rack were some small gray round grains, which should be some special food that could help one feel full and not have diarrhea if eaten in small amounts.
“I figured it out!”
Fang Xianzong suddenly stopped and said excitedly: "Fang Xianyu has already left the training hall. He must have returned to his residence to recuperate because he was not sure of breaking through without injury!"
"And everyone's residence is in the tomb at the foot of the mountain. There are no rules there. The tomb is just an ordinary underground palace."
"In other words, I've been here for a year, but I've only been outside for a few days."
"But I guess Fang Xianyu won't stay outside for too long. At most half a month, he will return to the training hall to try to break through and cleanse his body!"
"We can kill him when he first comes in, and expose the incident when he gets out five years later."
"As long as we say that Fang Xianyu failed to break through the body cleansing, and I have the strength of the ninth level of Tongmai, there will be no doubt about this matter!"
Fang Xianzong spoke more and more fluently and excitedly. "As for how you can trust me, after killing Fang Xianyu, I will stay here for another three years. Three years is enough time for you to make a judgment!"
Xu Chong listened quietly, and spoke after a while: "Why didn't Fang Xianyu kill you? It's impossible that he didn't feel your hostility at all."
"Oh, because he disdains it."
Fang Xianzong sneered, "He kept me here, maybe to force me to put some pressure on him."
"So arrogant?"
Xu Chong frowned.
"Not only is he arrogant, he is also a piece of cold stone without any emotion. Even when I killed his brother in front of him, he didn't show any emotion at all..."
When Fang Xianzong talked about Fang Xianyu, all kinds of viciousness surged in his eyes.
Sadly, it didn’t last long.
--puff!
Fang Xianzong's whole body stiffened and he lowered his head little by little.
A big hole appeared inexplicably on his chest.
There was clearly nothing there, but he could just feel that there was a hand there, an invisible hand.
"Why...why..."
Fang Xianzong asked in disbelief, "I should have been sincere enough..."
Xu Chong spoke in a calm tone, "You just said so much, but there are only two points that are useful to me."
"First, the Fang family does not have the means to monitor the life and death of their members in real time."
"Second, you are not a good person either."
"With these two points, you can die."
"After all, instead of asking you to cooperate with me, it would be better for me to become you."
