92: Chapter 92 The Movie Emperor's Possession, I Bet You Won't Dare to Stop Me!
Tang Xun flew very slowly, his posture appearing somewhat disheveled.
He vividly portrayed the image of a low-level Elder who had just experienced a bloody battle, was exhausted in body and mind, and was anxious to enter the Secret Realm to get a share of the spoils.
Sure enough, his appearance immediately caught the attention of the two guarding Elders.
Stop!
One of the tall Elders frowned and shouted sternly.
Tang Xun's body jolted in mid-air, as if startled.
He slowly raised his head and looked at the two guarding Elders with that face belonging to Elder Sun, covered in wrinkles and bloodstains.
In his eyes, there was a touch of fear, a touch of confusion, and a hint of imperceptible anxiety.
Two... Two Senior Brothers, what are your orders?
His voice was hoarse and weak, exactly the half-dead tone Elder Sun used on a daily basis.
Who are you? The tall Elder looked him up and down, his eyes full of scrutiny. Why have you come only now? Where were you hiding when we gathered at the council hall just now?
This question was extremely sharp.
If he didn't answer it well, he would be exposed immediately.
Tang Xun sneered internally, but squeezed out a smile on his face that was uglier than crying.
Senior Brother, you jest. In such a Sect war, how would I, your Junior Brother, dare to desert?
He pointed to the wounds on his body that were still oozing blood, and then pointed to the battlefield below that was still emitting black smoke.
Previously, the defensive position that my Hundred Herbs Peak was responsible for was ambushed by the villains of the Demonic Path, and the situation was extremely critical. I, your Junior Brother, fought to the death and finally managed to slaughter that group of villains, but... but I was delayed for a moment because of it.
Look at my injuries...
As he spoke, he coughed violently, as if he had aggravated his wounds, and his face turned a few shades paler.
This explanation was half-true and half-false, logical and reasonable.
It not only explained why he was late but also demonstrated his loyalty and courage, leaving no room for criticism.
After hearing this, the doubt on the tall Elder's face indeed diminished a bit.
After all, the battle situation just now was indeed chaotic, with fierce fighting breaking out in various areas, so being delayed was quite normal.
Furthermore, the opponent's cultivation of Early-Stage Core Formation could not be faked.
So it is Junior Brother Sun from Hundred Herbs Peak. Another slightly thinner Elder beside him, who obviously knew Elder Sun, took the initiative to smooth things over.
Junior Brother Sun usually studies Spirit Plants and Spirit Medicine and is not good at fighting. To have such a performance in this battle is already commendable. Senior Brother Zhao, I think we should just let him in.
The tall Elder nodded upon hearing this and was just about to wave him through.
Tang Xun's heart leaped into his throat.
However, at this moment, the tall Elder seemed to suddenly remember something, and his eyes became sharp again.
Wait!
He reached out and stopped Tang Xun.
Where is your identity token?
Tang Xun's heart skipped a beat.
Damn! I forgot about this!
Every Sect Disciple has a token that records their identity information; he didn't have such a thing!
The expression on his face froze instantly.
Seeing his reaction, the tall Elder's eyes immediately became dangerous.
What? Can't take it out?
A powerful pressure of Late Core Formation Stage instantly locked onto Tang Xun.
The air seemed to solidify at this moment.
Tang Xun's brain was running wildly.
What to do?
Attack?
No! The opponent consists of two Late Core Formation Stage cultivators; even if he used all his trump cards, he would definitely not get any advantage and would instead be completely exposed.
Run?
Even worse! Under the eyes of these two people, he couldn't run at all!
Gamble it is!
A trace of determination flashed in Tang Xun's eyes.
He did not panic; instead, as if provoked by the opponent's pressure, a flush of humiliation surged onto his withered face.
What does Senior Brother mean by this!
He raised his head abruptly, straightened his hunched back, and roared in a grief-stricken and indignant tone.
I, Sun Changgen, have fought bloody battles for the Sect and almost lost my life on the front lines! And you, instead of caring, are questioning my identity here?
The token! The token!
As if exasperated, he began to fumble around his body.
After feeling around for a long time, he suddenly let out an Ah, as if he had remembered something, his face showing annoyance and anxiety.
Damn it! It must have been lost accidentally while fighting that Devil Head just now!
His acting skills had reached a state of perfection.
That just-right anger, that grievance from being wronged, that regret from losing an important item.
It progressed layer by layer, without any flaws.
The two guarding Elders were both stunned by his sudden outburst.
Especially the slightly thinner Elder, whose face already showed some embarrassment and apology.
Senior Brother Zhao, look... this...
The tall Elder, known as Senior Brother Zhao, also frowned tightly.
He was still a bit suspicious.
But the other party's performance was really too realistic.
Furthermore, he couldn't figure out who would be so bold as to impersonate a Sect Elder right under the eyes of two Late Core Formation Stage cultivators? What for? To throw their life away?
Just when he was hesitant.
Tang Xun added more fuel to the fire.
He stopped looking at the two guarding Elders and turned around, looking at the huge spatial gate with a dejected and sorrowful gaze.
Fine! Fine!
He smiled miserably, his voice filled with endless desolation.
Since Senior Brother doesn't trust me, then I, Sun Changgen, will not go!
This great Opportunity, just leave it to you trustworthy people!
I will go back to my Hundred Herbs Peak now and guard my own small plot of land! Lest I be an eyesore to some big shots here!
After speaking, he actually flicked his sleeves and, without looking back, turned to leave.
That back figure was as lonely as it could be, as desolate as it could be.
This move of retreating to advance and drawing the fire from under the cauldron was simply brilliant!
Hey! Junior Brother Sun! What are you doing!
The slightly thinner Elder could finally no longer sit still; he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Tang Xun.
Senior Brother Zhao is just doing his duty; he didn't mean to make things difficult for you. Why must you be like this!
He turned his head, gave a look to the tall Elder, and there was a hint of complaint in his tone.
Senior Brother Zhao, that's enough!
Finish this quickly; we also need to go in. If we are any later, the Opportunity will be gone.
After speaking, he ignored whether the one surnamed Zhao agreed or not and cleared the passage.
You go in; don't delay the important business.
