Chapter 287 Does your master know that you are a traitor?
"You don't have to do this, my friend."
The head of the sect shook his head and rejected Xu Ercong's good intention: "This incident of the Ten Thousand Ghosts causing chaos came very strangely. There was no news beforehand. Moreover, the Ten Thousand Ghosts are extremely powerful. Even if the disciples of the Qinghun Sect go to eliminate the ghosts, there will inevitably be casualties."
"If anything happens to you, I, as your elder, will feel sorry for you. Please stay at the Qinghun Sect headquarters, it will be safer this way."
The head of the sect was actually thinking about Xu Ercong. He did not doubt Xu Ercong's identity and background. He would trust the friends of his own disciple to some extent.
But he felt that the emergence of Wanguimen and the rebellion of ten thousand ghosts should have something to do with each other.
Xu Ercong is also the first person he knows who has close contact with the Wanguimen. From the previous conversation, although Xu Ercong did not say it explicitly, the head of the sect vaguely guessed that the reason for the conflict between Xu Ercong and the Wanguimen disciples was not simple.
Obviously, the Wanguimen has most likely not disappeared, but has been without a trace in the past few hundred years.
How could the Wangui Sect, which had not revealed its true colors for hundreds of years, suddenly come into conflict with a solitary monk, and end up with his death?
There must be a reason behind this, and the leader believes that Xu Ercong is one of the clues.
He was worried that if he let Xu Ercong go, what would happen if Wanguimen launched a surprise attack and killed Xu Ercong?
This will deprive Qinghunmen of a clue.
Protect important clues, wait until the chaos caused by Wangui comes to an end, and then find a way to communicate with Xu Ercong about the matters of Wanguimen.
This is the master's plan.
"Does this old man want to put me under house arrest?"
Xu Ercong did not expect that the leader would reject him. He glanced at Long Aotian, who was gloating and looked helpless.
"We can't miss this world mission."
Xu Ercong gritted his teeth and sent a private message to Long Aotian: "Think of a way, I will waive your 500,000 yuan joining fee! Otherwise, if you force me to do it, I will arrange for someone to sell the little Taoist priest, and no one will be able to do the world mission."
“So cruel!”
Long Aotian sent a thumbs-up emoji to Xu Ercong. This guy was so cruel. He probably learned it from his planner dad.
"Master, I think it would be better to let Ercong participate."
Long Aotian spoke up: "It will be safe for him to follow me, and he can also gain some experience. Besides, my friend has a wide range of friends and can call on a group of independent cultivators."
The Sect Leader was quite moved by Long Aotian’s words, especially by the fact that he had a wide circle of friends.
He intends to cultivate his own disciples. If he can take this opportunity to help Xiao Aozi improve his reputation among the independent cultivators, that would be a good thing.
Anyway, this kid can't run away if he follows Xiao Aozi.
The head of the sect was very confident in Long Aotian: "Okay, but you have to protect your friend and don't let anything happen to him."
The leader's words were meaningful, meaning that he wanted Long Aotian to keep a close eye on Xu Ercong and not let him run away.
Long Aotian nodded in understanding, patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, Master! I will make sure this kid is always under my wings!"
The shrewd leader certainly doesn't know that his disciple has already been in cahoots with Xu Ercong. These two are family, and the leader is just an NPC.
After getting the consent of the headmaster, Long Aotian pulled Xu Ercong out of the president's room and began to prepare for the emergency suppression of the ghost chaos.
"Your master asked you to protect me. It seems that your strength has improved recently."
In the elevator, Xu Ercong asked casually, "You started at level 40. Tell me, are you level 45 now?"
"Still level 40."
"So lazy? You've wasted so much time and you don't even bother to level up?"
Long Aotian shrugged his shoulders and glanced at Xu Ercong: "I am giving you ordinary players a chance. I am already level 40 at the beginning. If you work harder, how can you catch up with me?"
"I've been standing still and not leveling up, letting you guys catch up, but you guys are not doing your best. After such a long time, your highest level is only 30."
Long Aotian sighed: "Masters are so lonely! Tsk, level 40, a great master!"
Xu Ercong took a deep breath. He had the urge to smash the potted plant in the elevator onto Long Aotian's face.
"Then why are you, a great master, tied up at the beginning?"
"Can you please not mention this?"
Long Aotian took a deep breath and cursed: "Damn it, this group of people kidnapped my sect's disciples and forced me to rescue and identify the hostages alone, and then I was screwed."
"You all know what happened next."
"This group of people is from a small sect. They are evil and are targeting the seal of Qinghun Sect. Qinghun Sect has sealed a great ghost king for generations many years ago."
"This group of people want to release the Ghost King to cause chaos, but they can't find the seal. It turns out that they want to dig the secret ."
Xu Ercong found this interesting and asked, "What about this group of people? Were they caught later?"
"No, they all ran away. I don't know which sect they are from. They all covered their faces. The secret techniques they used by the Ghost Dao were also very popular."
Long Aotian held his chin up and said, "I think it might be the work of the people from Wanguimen."
Xu Ercong nodded: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."
"Actually, I don't really care about the affairs of Wanguimen."
Long Aotian smacked his lips and said, "I think the seal of the Qinghun Sect is more interesting."
Xu Ercong was shocked: "What do you mean, you want to release the Ghost King too?"
Long Aotian chuckled: "Just think about it, how much life energy is needed to kill a ghost king."
"hiss."
Xu Ercong took a breath and looked up at the ceiling.
If the leader of the Qinghun Sect knew that his trusted disciple was actually trying to tamper with his seal, who knows if he would be so angry that he would ascend to heaven on the spot.
"Are you crazy? You're only level 40. How can you say you killed the Ghost King?"
Xu Ercong glanced at Long Aotian: "What level is your master?"
"My master is very powerful, at least starting at level 80."
"Can he defeat the Ghost King?"
"That's definitely impossible! He said so himself."
"Even your master can't defeat the Ghost King. Aren't you courting death by breaking the seal?"
"But sealing the Ghost King must also be a task."
Long Aotian looked at Xu Ercong innocently: "As a player, can't I complete the mission?"
Xu Ercong was stunned and speechless. After a long while, he patted Long Aotian on the shoulder and said, "Does your master know that there is a traitor like you in the sect?"
"Of course I don't know. If my master knew, he would skin me alive."
Long Aotian looked at Xu Ercong like he was an idiot: "Are you stupid? Do you think I will tell my master?"
Xu Ercong was stunned. His IQ was actually questioned by Long Aotian!
Don't be angry, don't be angry.
If you get sick from anger, no one can replace you.
"It's a good thing that you want to develop new tasks."
Xu Ercong took a deep breath and said, "But this matter still needs to be considered in the long run. Let's upgrade to level 80 first."
"Okay, pinky promise." Long Aotian confidently stretched out his hand: "When the seal is opened, you have to help me. I have helped you this time too. People should be loyal."
"Okay, I'll help you, no need to make a pinky promise."
Xu Ercong covered his forehead, always feeling that it was a mistake for him to come to Long Aotian, but if he didn't find him, he would not be able to use the power of Qinghun Sect to find clues about Wangui Sect.
How can a guy with such an IQ have such a good start?
Xu Ercong didn't understand.
Does the planning father prefer stupid people?
…
The two took the elevator all the way to the negative seventh floor.
According to Long Aotian, below the building is the Qinghun Sect's most important office location, where the sect's treasury, martial arts training ground, ghost-locking area, pre-war preparation room, and the place where inner and outer disciples learn magic spells are located.
The two of them came to the sect's treasury. Long Aotian had the privilege to directly skip the process of distributing treasures and necessary props from the sect, and could enter the sect's treasury on his own to choose travel supplies.
Xu Ercong followed behind and benefited from it. The two of them took a lot of good things from the Qinghun Sect and were armed to the teeth.
"Why do you Qinghunmen still have grenades?"
Xu Ercong pointed at the iron lump in his hand and looked at Long Aotian in confusion: "You Qinghun Sect not only has a side business of selling health products, but also reselling arms?"
This path is wider, but also quite wild.
"This is for catching ghosts."
Long Aotian held the grenade in his hand and gestured: "This is a grenade given to us by the secular country. It is hollow when it is delivered to us. The inner disciples need to send spiritual energy into it. There is highly compressed spiritual energy inside."
"Pull it open, throw it out, and boom! The ghost is gone. Of course, if a person gets too close, their soul will be hurt."
"The advantage is that it won't affect buildings and physical objects. This is refined spiritual energy, specifically targeting ghosts."
Xu Ercong nodded at Long Aotian's explanation, and then he picked up a small silver submachine gun next to him: "What about this? How do you explain it?"
"This is ZG-UZI, a special version, also used to catch ghosts. The bullets are special spiritual bullets. They will not cause large-scale damage when fired. They will only have a killing effect on souls. Of course, you can't shoot at people."
Xu Ercong picked up a set of heavy black clothes: "What about this, a bulletproof vest? Don't tell me that ghosts also have guns!"
"This is a multifunctional combat uniform. There is a whole set. You only have a coat. Although it is not a bulletproof vest, it can offset the attacks of ghost claws of ghosts, effectively reduce the erosion of ghost energy on the human body, and reduce casualties."
Long Aotian took the clothes and said intoxicatedly: "My favorite color is black!"
"hiss."
Xu Ercong took a deep breath and glanced at the sect's treasury filled with guns and ammunition. This place looked like a military base rather than a treasury of a sect.
"It's a done deal."
Xu Ercong nodded seriously: "You Qinghun Sect are arms dealers!"
"Keep up with the times, understand? Who still uses a peach wood sword to catch ghosts nowadays?"
Long Aotian was very contemptuous: "Even if you look down on these things, then don't take them. You stuffed more than anyone else."
"It would be a waste if you don't take it!"
Xu Ercong was sarcastic with his mouth, but his hands didn't listen. He had more than ten spiritual grenades stuffed on his body, a special UZI submachine gun, and a sniper rifle similar to Barrett on his back.
There is an aura laser dagger on the ankle, as well as two aura smoke bombs that can affect the perception of ghosts, and stun bombs that can shock the souls of humans and ghosts.
These things may be useless against evil spirits, but they can effectively kill low- and medium-level ghosts on a large scale.
After being fully armed, Long Aotian announced the news on the game forum.
"There has been new progress in the world mission plot!"
"I, Long Aotian, on behalf of the Paradise of the Dead Club and the Aotian Club, announce that the team battle for the third expansion pack has officially begun!"
"All combatants, assemble!"
