Chapter 406: Different treatment, are we less important than a bunch of beasts?
Mythical beasts are wreaking havoc on the world, the sect is facing a formidable enemy, and Cheng Zhen's cultivation has reached a bottleneck, with no room for improvement.

He has refined and tempered the blood essence of the three extraordinary creatures, the Qingxuan Ancient Dragon, the Corpse Giant Whale, and the Zuwo, while the other disciples still have huge room for improvement.

On May 5, Cheng Zhen arranged for everyone in the Sanchong Nisheng to go to the back mountain for a retreat.

He did not expect everyone to be able to transform into new extraordinary creatures, as that was too difficult, so he repeatedly reminded them, passed on his experience, and explained the fatal forks in the road clearly without any omissions.

Even if the blood of a supernatural creature is refined and integrated into the internal organs, it will cause a dramatic transformation of the physical body.

To this end, Cheng Zhen specially mobilized the spiritual energy of the mountains, gathered rocks and soil into a room, divided the void into walls, and set up seven barriers for his disciples to concentrate on their retreat.

Si Chong, Shui Yun, Sheng Sheng, Li Qing, Yan Gu and Yun Feng entered one after another.

Lu Jin was the last one, he had something in mind, and he made a frank request:

"Brother, I want to prepare a few copies for each of my two old friends. Do you think this is feasible?"

"During this turmoil, the younger generation and relatives of the family were entrusted to them for care, and they have been helping in secret."

The essence and blood of extraordinary creatures are of immeasurable value and can almost be regarded as the sect's treasure, second only to the true Dharma.

Although Lu Jin and Cheng Zhen had a very good relationship, he did not dare to be negligent when mentioning this matter, and his words were respectful and cautious.

"Is he the Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu, and an old friend of Linqi?"

Cheng Zhen asked back with a faint smile. He was not surprised because he remembered that the two presidents and his junior brother had several life-threatening interactions.

On the eve of the four sects' attack, he secretly arrived at the Trinity Gate, ready to lend a hand.

Later, he and Lu Jin persuaded them to leave, and the relatives of the Lu family and the wives and children of several Mesozoic disciples were also taken care of by them and hid in the Tianshi Mansion to avoid being implicated.

"Yes."

Lu Jin sighed slightly and said with a little displeasure:
"Perhaps because they were too close to us, the blood of the extraordinary creatures seized by the Nine Divisions was refined and concentrated, and then distributed to the Sword Holders, the Awakeners, and the Warriors they promoted."

"A single blood test tube only has a dozen milliliters, but Lao Zhang and Lao Wei don't have any. The excuse they gave was that they had a larger dosage and couldn't make it in a short time."

After he said this, Cheng Zhen smiled, not wanting to delve into the reason, and just promised softly:

"In that case, if they don't give it to us, we will."

"Go ahead and pick some. If it's not enough, we can arrange more later."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly changed his mind;
"etc."

"I may not have time to come back, and I may not be here either. You can pick more and have enough at once."

"Well, thank you, brother."

Lu Jin clasped his fists, thanked his friend on his behalf, and bowed slightly.

"Go ahead and come back early."

"In the future, you will make your own decisions on such matters."

"Don't ask me. I trust your judgment."

Cheng Zhen patted Lu Jin's shoulder. He trusted this junior fellow apprentice very much. The faint smile on the corner of his mouth was as bright as a bright tulip.

To him, the essence and blood of a few extraordinary creatures cannot compare to the friendship of helping someone in need, which is especially precious in these troubled times.

Afterwards, Cheng Zhen personally assisted Lu Jin in refining the giant beast's blood essence. He prepared 12 portions, a total of 6000 ml, ml per person.

evening.

The afterglow of the setting sun spread across the mountains, and a stream of light crossed the sky and landed on the gate on the top of the mountain. Lu Jin went and came back, did everything he should do, said a simple farewell to his senior brother, and went to the back mountain for retreat.

Other disciples who had reached the second level of perfection, or were close to it, were also arranged by Cheng Zhen to go to the Five Prefectures Treasure Land to hone themselves and try to break through.

Yu Huai, Xian Shu and Lin Qi, who have worked in the Nine Departments for decades, are always stuck at the last step before the third level due to mental strain and energy exhaustion. They cannot withstand the baptism of the treasure land and can only choose a gentler, slower way of advancement that can control subtleties.

Cheng Zhen plans to take three people to the vast sea, to find a trench over 4,000 meters deep, and use the pressure of billions of seawater to gradually increase the pressure to break through.

Before leaving, he specifically instructed several young people in the sect to repair the damaged buildings and rebuild the ground. He also summoned the guardian Weir and temporarily handed over the right to handle many matters of the sect to him.

On May 5, the weather was cloudy and a cool breeze blew into the mountains. The climate of the entire Trinity Gate was particularly refreshing and humid, without the dryness that should be expected in summer.

In the Sutra Repository, on the fourth floor, Will was looking at the densely packed experimental data on the computer, frowning from time to time with a look of regret on his face. His research was not going as smoothly as he had imagined.

At this moment, a fat white disciple walked up to the pavilion quickly and reported respectfully;
"Senior, people from the Nine Departments and the Security Council came to visit. They said they have important matters to discuss. Please make the decision."

"Let them wait downstairs. I'll go down when I'm free."

Will's voice was cold and indifferent, without any emotion in it, and his attention was still on the screen.

"Yes!"

The disciple turned and left. He was Zhuge Yu’s great-grandson, Li Yan.

In front of the Qingxin Hall, several heads of the nine ministries, two vice presidents of the Security Council, and the new president arrived for the first time, feeling anxious and expectant.

Their eyes, filled with curiosity, looked at the surrounding buildings intentionally or unintentionally. They never expected that the interior of the First Mysterious Gate would be structured like this.

There were also more than a dozen powerful men accompanying them.

What is strange is that the senior executives who visited this time were all unfamiliar faces.

Ning He, Su Nianlin, Zhang Zhiwei, Wei Yuanming, and old acquaintances Lu Ci and Gao Mei, did not show up. I don't know if they were absent because they were busy or because they cared about their reputation and were too embarrassed to come.

Without the consent of Trinity Gate, everyone present followed the rules tacitly and did not move around without permission.

Soon, the fat boy who was responsible for receiving them at the beginning brought new news.

"Everyone, the seniors in the sect are still busy and have no time to receive you. Please forgive me. You may have to wait for a while."

Upon hearing this, everyone's face changed slightly. They didn't expect to encounter this right after arriving. Was it a coincidence or a challenge?

"My friend, if I may ask, how long will it take?"

The person who spoke was one of the nine departments' leaders, named Yuan Xiao. He was in charge of the exits of the major secret realms and the troops stationed there.

He was wearing formal clothes, was a little older, had a strong physique, was about 1.8 meters tall, had clean features, and no beard. He looked particularly energetic, and did not have many wrinkles on his face.

"This junior doesn't know, the old man didn't explain anything further."

Li Yan conveyed the message truthfully. He respected Weir very much, but was also a little afraid of him.

As far as he knew, the Dharma Protector who looked middle-aged was much older than his master. In fact, in the early years, many elders in the sect were trained in fighting by the Dharma Protector to gain practical experience.

Hearing that perfunctory answer, some people had expected it and couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts.

Yuan Xiao remained calm and said calmly:
"No problem, thank you for your trip, brother. It's because we didn't inform you in advance that this happened. We'll just wait patiently."

"Well, old man, please wait a moment. I'm going to be busy."

Li Yan exchanged a few quick words of greeting and left. He still had to work with his two fellow apprentices to repair the damaged parts of the gate.

After he left, dozens of people stood there in a daze.

No, where is the tea? Where are the tables and chairs?

Is this gone?

Just leaving them here?
When the little fat boy was carrying the bucket and going to other courtyards, a self-deprecating voice was heard.

"Humph, it seems that there is still resentment. No wonder we don't even have a place to rest."

"Forget it, don't say any more."

Yuan Xiao hurriedly stopped his colleagues from speaking, fearing that they would cause more trouble. Fortunately, he had a lot of say and calmed everyone down.

Soon, after three hours of waiting, no one showed up, and intermittent keyboard tapping sounds were heard from the pavilion on the left.

As dusk approached, there was still no result. Some people lost their patience and wanted to go upstairs to greet the emperor, but their companions held them back and signaled that it was not possible. They felt uneasy, as the people in the building gave them an extremely dangerous feeling and they were afraid that it would be difficult to get along with them.

night.

A fragrant smell wafted out from the kitchen. After a busy day, Li Yan, carrying a dinner, went up to the Sutra Library in full view of everyone.

When we arrived at the fourth floor, the atmosphere was eerily quiet. The sitting figure was still the same as it had been in the afternoon, without moving at all.

Li Yan had heard from his fellow disciples that this Dharma protector hated being disturbed when he was working.

Seeing this, he tiptoed in, holding his breath like a thief, not daring to stay. He gently put his dinner on the coffee table and left quietly.

moment.

The people downstairs met the fat man who was sneaking around and walking with his head down again. A warrior stepped forward to stop him and asked coldly:

"Little brother, you said it would be a while, but half a day has passed. How long will your senior be busy?"

Perhaps the man's tone was full of criticism, which made Li Yan feel dissatisfied and he muttered impatiently:
"How would I know? The ghost asked you to come at the wrong time. If you can't wait, just leave."

"Step aside."

Li Yan was very hungry and just wanted to eat quickly. Regardless of the other person's livid face, he pushed him away and prepared to leave without looking back.

At this time, at the instruction of a sword bearer, several awakened ones stepped forward, blocked Li Yan's way, and asked in a nice voice where their dinner and where to stay were.

"Forehead"

Li Yan pretended to be thinking seriously, paused, and then said:
"Since the senior didn't tell me, I can't make the decision on my own. Why don't you go find some outside?"

"."

Several awakened ones were speechless. They waited for such a long time, and now they still have to starve to death at night?

Soon after Li Yan left, the senior officials of the Nine Ministries and the Security Council heard a faint laughter coming from the kitchen in the distance. It sounded like gloating, and was extremely harsh, making everyone feel uncomfortable.

Some of them were in high positions and some were Level 5 awakeners. No matter where they were, they would never be treated so coldly. Even if they had good tempers, they gradually became dissatisfied.

The waiting lasted until two o'clock in the morning, but there was still no result. Everyone didn't know whether to leave or stay.

They tried to contact Tianshi and Wei Yuanming, and asked President Lu and several former leaders where they were and whether they could meet in person, but they failed as the phone calls could not be connected.

Time flies and two days have passed.

The top leaders of the Security Council and the nine ministries were becoming increasingly impatient and filled with rage. The meaningless wait was like a long torture for them.

It is precisely at this time that the most stimulating thing to their cerebral blood pressure happens.

On May 5, a dozen exhausted old, weak, women and children traveled thousands of miles from the northeastern province all the way south to Trinity Gate. They were the same elves who had asked for help the year before.

The territory where their ancestors had lived for generations was destroyed by the extraordinary creature "Six-Headed Dragon" and burned clean in a huge fire.

Most of the immortals who swore to fight to the death died, and in the end only the White Snake Immortal and the Mountain Scorpion Immortal were left alive. They were seriously injured, and had no choice but to flee with the younger generations of their clan, wandering around their homeland.

Unfortunately, a year later, the two immortal spirits who survived that year could not withstand the recurrence of their injuries and also died.

Until recently, the old, weak, women and children, upon hearing of Xuanzun's appearance, came hurriedly, hoping that he would eliminate the 'six-headed dragon';
Compared with their ancestors, these descendants cannot even reach the level of "flawless human body".

Their strength was far inferior to that of the Nine Departments and the Security Council, and they were easily identified as twelve transformed elves. However, these ragged, unkempt refugees were treated well by Li Yan and Lu Lin, who even vacated a room for them, prepared tea, food and clothing, and allowed them to live here.

Seeing this scene, several presidents and responsible persons were so angry that their chests heaved and their blood pressure soared.

The swordsmen and warriors were even more confused. Why were those beasts treated differently? Was it just to humiliate them? !
The more this happened, the less they wanted to leave. Instead, they wondered whether these beasts also needed to wait like them.

On May 5, under the hateful gazes of humans, a dozen elves were qualified to meet the emperor and were brought by Li Yan into the Sutra Library to meet Weir.

"Why are these later beasts qualified to enter, but we are not?"

The top leaders valued their reputation and could not get angry, so they had their warriors act as their mouthpieces and questioned them harshly.

Lu Lin and another disciple, guarding the entrance to the pavilion, gave the answer:

"Old man, I want to see them."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd was indignant, and there were chaotic voices of questioning and rebuttal one after another.

"What about us?"

“We were here first!”

"Who is in charge of your sect now?"

"Oh, aren't we more important than a bunch of beasts?"

Lu Lin turned a deaf ear to them. He looked at these people calmly without making any comments.

Fourth floor.

After Weir finished processing the experimental data, he stretched his body, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked happy.

"Senior, I brought them here."

At this time, Li Yan, who had waited for a while, brought the 12 elf survivors to Weir.

"sit."

"Give them tea."

Will gave an order and immediately started communicating with the elves.

"Senior, hello, we would like to ask, are Xuanzun and your clan leader here?"

A young elf of the opposite sex with fair skin asked timidly.

It is the bloodline of the White Snake Spirit Fairy clan, named Baizhi, and is also the most accomplished one among this group of fleeing elves.

But at this moment it felt like sitting on pins and needles. The malice of the Level 5 awakener downstairs made it feel deeply uneasy, even to the point of panic.

Will noticed this scene and waved his hand gently. Rolling gray fog overflowed and covered the entire building, blocking out the murderous intentions of all the powerful men.

"No, they are out and they are not sure when they will be back."

"If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

Will was a little surprised by these creatures with human and animal bodies, and even the tone of their speech was quite gentle.

"Our territory was invaded by a six-headed dragon, which massacred all of our people. None of the ancestors in the mountains survived."

"I heard from my ancestors that it has a close relationship with Xuan Zun, so I came here boldly and asked Xuan Zun to help us kill the six-headed dragon."

Bai Zhi explained the reason, her clear and sparkling eyes covered with a thick layer of gray sadness.

The other old, weak, sick and disabled elves were also silently waiting for Will's reply, feeling a little nervous in their hearts.

The six-headed dragon is one of the most powerful demon kings at present. If its request is rejected, it must be a very normal thing. However, they are still unwilling to give up this glimmer of hope. There is still some hope in their desperate eyes.

"Before the head of the sect left, he specifically told me about this matter."

"He said he was sorry that he had not yet been released from confinement when you visited last year."

"He later found out what you were asking for, and promised that after resolving the disputes between our sect and other sects, he would help you kill the six-headed dragon."

"And let me tell you that the old headmaster will not sit idly by and watch this matter. As long as he comes back, he will help you, so there is no need to worry."

Weir told the elves every word that Cheng Zhen left behind.

In just a moment, the 12 elves were moved by the scene, tears fell down, and they all knelt on the ground, choking with sobs:
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Xuan, we will never forget it!"

Will waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile:
"You're welcome. Before then, if you don't have a place to stay, just stay here temporarily. It's safe here."

"But, we are penniless and can only do some hard labor to repay the kindness of food and lodging. If you don't mind, we are willing to stay."

An old elf, looking embarrassed, was really desperate. On their way south, they encountered several groups of powerful humans and strange beasts and were almost killed.

"You are guests. The head of the gate has instructed that you should be treated well. There is no need to talk about money. You can stay as long as you want. As for the labor, let the younger generation do it."

Weir distributed the tea brought by Li Yan to the elves cup by cup.

But they were flattered and said, "No! We must do something, even if it is within our ability."

"Yes, Senior, please let them help us repair the sect."

Li Yan couldn't help but echo that he had a high EQ and was willing to give these elves some respect so that they could at least feel at ease staying here.

"Well, it's up to you. Do whatever you feel comfortable with."

"Fatty, treat your guests well."

"There are still some flies down there, chattering away. I'll go check it out."

After receiving the order, Li Yan nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Okay, don't worry, I won't neglect you."

Will didn't say much, and bowed like a gentleman to the 12 elves.

Then, he walked slowly towards the first floor, where noisy shouting came like a wave of spam messages.

"Little boy named Lu, report it immediately!"

"We have waited for so long, when will it end?"

"If you don't want to receive me, just say so directly. Why beat around the bush and humiliate me like this?"

"Animals are animals, inferior to humans. You treat them as honored guests and even break the first-come-first-served rule. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

In the area in front of the Sutra Repository, warriors from the Nine Divisions and the Security Council could not control their hot tempers and kept swearing and scolding. They endured this for six days in a row and could no longer bear it.

The faces of those senior executives were calm yet angry, with veins faintly visible on their foreheads. They had been left out for such a long time and were still treated differently, which was simply a shame for them.

“Gurgle!!!”

Suddenly, the gray fog covering the pavilion slowly dissipated, and a tall figure walked out.

He was a middle-aged man with blond hair and a windbreaker. His face was weathered and his eyes were gloomy. The moment he appeared, he brought an extremely depressing and ominous atmosphere.

"A bunch of noisy monkeys."

"If you say another word, I'll make you into a specimen."

The plain words contained unquestionable arrogance.

"."

Instantly.

The warrior who was still shouting felt terrified for some reason. The moment he looked into Will's eyes, it was as if he had met his natural enemy. His arrogance dropped sharply and he dared not act rashly.

Even the other sword wielders and level 5 awakeners were no exception, they looked alert as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

The man who suddenly appeared was completely different from all the recorded Trinity disciples.

If Lu Jin gave them the feeling of being unattainably powerful, then the Weir in front of them made them feel panic from the bottom of their hearts, as if they were locked in an unavoidable death.

This is an unprecedented threat, and the body even succumbs to instinct and develops a strong desire to survive.

Seeing Weir coming, the two disciples at the door hurriedly greeted him respectfully:

"senior."

"senior."

Weir motioned for them to step back, looked at everyone, and said in a cold tone:
"If you have something to say, just say it, and then get out."

"."

More than a dozen strong men opened their eyes as big as copper bells, but dared not speak out.

"Your family's hospitality is too much, isn't it?"

A responsible person asked with a hint of accusation in his joking voice.

"Then get out now, you are not welcome here."

Will looked directly at the senior executive without any politeness.

"."

The deterrent effect was very good. The man held a grudge in his heart, but his expression did not change. He just ignored it and kept silent.

Seeing that he was pretending to be deaf and dumb and standing there, Will repeated:
"You, get out now."

"?!"

Now it was that person’s turn to be confused. Are they serious?
Before he could respond, murderous aura came like a storm, and the temperature around him suddenly dropped by half. The air was filled with gloom and the swordsman guarding this high-ranking official realized that this was no joke, and decisively shouted:
"it is good!"

"let's go."

After saying that, he dragged the person in charge and left in a hurry without staying for a moment.

This bizarre scene made more than a dozen strong men feel terrified. They were extremely sure that the other party really wanted to kill them. If they were half a step late, they would be killed on the spot.

"Keep talking."

Weir urged several presidents and Yuan Xiao.

"We are here this time to invite Chairman Lu, Yu Huai and several old friends to return to take up their posts. Today, Jiuzhou is threatened by giant beasts, wars are raging, and alien species are everywhere. We urgently need them to take charge and lead the overall situation."

When a senior executive said this, his scalp went numb. He was so ashamed that his ears turned red and he didn't dare to look up to see anyone.

“They’re not available.”

"You can find someone else. We have finished talking and you can leave now."

Will simply and rudely refused, and ordered them to leave quickly as if they were shooing away flies.
