Guarding the border: I am sanctified in the flesh

Chapter 181 News about the mysterious sect, another battle and another victory
"I'll open the door."

Liu Mei stood up, opened the door and saw a man standing outside the door. He looked extremely young and somewhat familiar.

Where did she seem to have seen it?
"you are?"

"My name is Ye Wentian."

The man smiled and said, "I came here to pay my respects to Brother Wei."

"Oh, please come in."

Liu Mei had naturally heard of Ye Wentian's name. His strength reached the late stage of integration, and he was ranked among the top five among the monks participating in this competition.

"Brother Wei, Brother Lu."

After entering the door, Ye Wentian clasped his fists at the two of them, "Don't blame me for coming uninvited. I really admire you two very much and want to get acquainted with you two."

"So it's Brother Ye."

Wei He greeted: "Please sit down quickly."

"Thank you, Brother Wei."

Ye Wentian sat down calmly.

"You came just in time."

Wei He smiled and said, "Let's have a few drinks together."

"I've already had a bigu."

Ye Wentian waved his hand, "You continue to eat and don't worry about me. I have nothing else to do. I just sit and chat with you for a few words."

"Well."

Wei He was not polite either, he and Lu Fan should eat and drink as they should.

Most people who cultivate immortality will be able to live without grains if they reach a certain level of cultivation.

People like Lu Fan and Wei He who like to eat and drink are extremely rare.

"I heard that both of you came from the mortal world, a place called Dazhou?"

Ye Wentian sighed: "I can't believe that two peerless geniuses have come out of this small mortal world. I'm really impressed!"

"Ok?"

Lu Fan and Wei He were stunned at the same time, feeling a little more alert.

You know, Lu Fan never mentioned his origin to anyone, and Wei He only told Shang Xingtian.

Is it...

Wei He asked: "How does Brother Ye know that I am from Dazhou?"

"Of course someone told me."

Ye Wentian shook his head gently, "Brother Wei, don't blame me. I promised this person not to tell who he is."

"To be honest, I came to you two today to deliver a message for him."

"He said that he was entrusted with what happened back then and had no choice but to do it. Please forgive me."

"Besides, he knows that both of you are body refiners. Although the injuries on your bodies are serious, you will definitely survive."

"It was he who saved both of your lives."

"He did it deliberately by throwing you into the Longlin Abyss."

"He even specially arranged people to protect you Zhou Quan in secret, just so that you can survive in the world of immortality and become stronger step by step."

"That way he can make up for his mistakes."

Speaking of this, Ye Wentian glanced at Lu Fan and Wei He respectively, "Now that you two have grown far beyond his imagination, he is very pleased and feels that it is time to tell you."

"Ok?"

Lu Fan and Wei He looked at each other, unable to conceal their surprise.

The clues they were looking for unexpectedly appeared on their own initiative?
The other party has no choice but to do so?

is it possible?
Lu Fan naturally didn't believe this kind of rhetoric.

Maybe the other party saw that he and Wei He were too strong and was afraid that the situation would be difficult to deal with in the future?
Are you taking the initiative to show your kindness?

its not right.

As long as the other party didn't take the initiative to tell them, neither he nor Wei He would have any clues, and it would be even harder to find the other party.

So what is the other party worried about?
By the way, Dazhou.

Sooner or later, he will return to Da Zhou to investigate the matter thoroughly. With his strength and means, he will definitely be able to find out something.

Sooner or later, things will come to light one day.

By then, it will be too late for the other party to show their kindness again.

But now, is it too late?

Some things have been done, and if you want to make up for them, it may not be that easy.

"is it?"

Wei He naturally didn't believe it and asked, "Is he really that kind?"

"Think about it carefully."

Ye Wentian said: "With your strength at that time, how could real death and fake death be hidden from the cultivators?"

"If he hadn't arranged it deliberately, how could you have survived?"

"Lu Fan is okay, Wei He is by his side."

"But if it wasn't intentional, how could I send you to Wei He?"

"Moreover, if there was no one to protect him secretly, how could Wei He survive in the Dragon's Abyss given his situation at the time?"

As he spoke, Ye Wentian turned his gaze to Wei He, "Brother Wei, you may not know that the place where you were abandoned was selected after thousands of selections."

"There are almost no spiritual beasts there, and few people go there."

“It’s the perfect place for you to grow from there.”

"So is Lu Fan."

"I'm not excusing that person, it's a fact."

After a pause, Ye Wentian continued: "Actually, you should think from another perspective. If he hadn't sent someone to bring you to the world of immortality, how could you have the strength you have today?"

"How can I have the chance to participate in the big competition?"

"Is it even possible to enter the ancient battlefield in the future?"

"This opportunity is actually brought to you by him."

"I won't say thank you, but at least don't hold a grudge against him."

"Don't even form a deadly feud over this."

Ye Wentian advised earnestly: "We have to look forward, let go of the obsessions in our hearts, let go of the hatred, and improve our strength as much as possible. That is the business."

"You have said so much, it's hard for you."

Wei He asked: "Now you can sue me, who is that person?"

"You will know in the future."

Ye Wentian shook his head, "But now is not the time to tell you."

"Then let me guess."

Wei He probed: "Could it be someone from your Huixin Hall? Maybe it's even the sect leader of your Huixin Hall, Qiu Chengxin?"

"Don't guess, you can't guess."

Ye Wentian's expression did not change, but instead smiled, "But I can tell you clearly that it is not our Huixintang."

"If it was really our Huixin Hall, how could it be possible for us to send me here?"

"Isn't it obvious to tell you?"

Ye Wentian said: "But you don't have to worry, he will not harm you, but is really good for you."

"For our own good? Humph!"

Wei He snorted coldly and asked, "In that case, why didn't he come and tell us in person?"

"It's simple."

Ye Wentian sighed: "He is afraid that you will not be able to accept it for a while, and he is also worried that if you don't believe him, if you start to fight against him again, things will be beyond his control."

"That's why he invited me here to talk to you first, so as to act as a buffer."

"When the time is right, he will naturally explain it to you personally."

As he spoke, Ye Wentian glanced at the two of them, "Okay, do you have anything else to ask?"

"Who wants to kill us?"

Lu Fan asked the question he had been holding in his mind for a long time, "Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?"

"He didn't say this, so I can't ask."

Ye Wentian said: "If you have the opportunity in the future, you can ask him yourself."

"But I know one thing."

"He had been favored by a man when he was young."

"Later, his strength became stronger and he became famous in the world of immortality, so he went to find that person."

"It's a pity that man has been dead for many years."

"He only found the descendants of that person, so he gave those people three spiritual talismans and promised to kill three people for those people to end the relationship."

"Wei He was the second to be killed, and Lu Fan was the third."

After a pause, Ye Wentian continued: "At this point, he has fulfilled his promise and completely cut off the kindness he had back then."

"Who was the first person killed?"

Wei He asked: "Is he still alive now?"

"That man has died long ago." Ye Wentian shook his head, "He was killed by his own hands."

"Why didn't he kill us?"

Lu Fan asked: "Since we are not dead, doesn't it mean that he failed to fulfill his promise?"

"You've already died once, haven't you?"

Ye Wentian said: "What's more, you are now in the world of immortality and have nothing to do with the world. What difference does it make whether you die or not?"

Lu Fan and Wei He were both silent.

They both did die once, but their circumstances were slightly different.

Wei He is alone and has no worries in the world. Perhaps he will never set foot in Dazhou again in this life.

But Lu Fan is different.

He has a wife and daughter in Dazhou, and so many friends and brothers.

It is impossible to completely sever ties with the world.

"As for why I don't kill you, the reason is actually very simple."

Ye Wentian said: "You did nothing wrong. Instead, you made great military exploits in the world, and even ended the war with your own hands and created peace."

"If he kills you, it will affect his Taoist heart, and he may never be able to enter the country."

"What's more, when you were in the mortal world, you have already shown talents that far exceed others. He cherishes talents and will never kill you."

"Furthermore, he also wants to see how far ordinary martial arts geniuses like you will grow in the world of immortality?"

"That's why he will try his best to ensure your safety and give you the opportunity to grow up."

Ye Wentian reminded: "With his strength, if he really wants to kill you, how can he allow you to live until now?"

Lu Fan and Wei He were silent again.

Both of them were thinking and calculating in their minds. Although Ye Wentian's words may not all be true, they are not entirely lies.

As for which sentence is true and which sentence is false, the two of them will have to verify it slowly in the future.

At least there is a clue.

Not as clueless as before.

"Okay, my mission is completed, you continue to eat."

Ye Wentian stood up and said goodbye, "We'll see you on the competition stage."

"Ah."

Watching Ye Wentian leave, the three of them were silent for a while.

"Brother Lu."

Wei He turned his gaze to Lu Fan, "What do you think?"

"I think the person Ye Wentian is talking about is probably a big shot in a super sect."

Lu Fan thought for a while and said, "Maybe even among those ten people."

"You mean the ten people who initiated the big competition this time?"

Wei He seemed to have thought of it, and nodded slightly, "That's true. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? Why did you mention this during the competition? And specifically asked Ye Wentian to make a trip?"

"Yes, with Ye Wentian's strength and reputation, the identity of the person who can let him run errands must be of great importance."

Lu Fan suddenly thought of a possibility, "Brother, do you think Shang Xingtian knew about this a long time ago, so he spared no effort to help you and me?"

Wei He's heart moved and he realized: "Don't tell me, this is really possible."

Then he fell into thought.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses and shook his head gently, "Forget it, let's not dwell on this matter for now. Sooner or later, the truth will come to light."

"It's better to focus on the big competition first, strive to obtain the god-level skills, and take the opportunity to enter the ancient battlefield."

"Improving strength is the most important thing."

"It won't be too late to investigate this matter thoroughly when we come out of the ancient battlefield."

"Anyway, I've been waiting for so many years, so it's not too late in just a few months."

As he spoke, Wei He picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, let's continue drinking."

"it is good."

Lu Fan and Liu Mei raised their glasses together and clinked their glasses with Wei He, "Cheers!"

"cheers!"

……

……

The big competition continues.

Three days later, Lu Fan stood on the competition stage again.

His opponent this time is called Meng Chu, a strong man in the Dzogchen stage of refining the void.

"Battle begins!"

Following the announcement, Meng Chu took action first.

Clouds of ice mist spread toward Lu Fan, bringing with it a bone-chilling chill.

At the same time, countless lightnings fell from the sky, striking at Lu Fan with endless power.

Lu Fan still just waved the knife gently, and all the opponent's attacks disappeared instantly.

The next moment, Kunwu's sword was slashed on Meng Chu's head.

"Oh!"

Meng Chu flew out.

"Lu Fansheng!"

The battle ended without any suspense, Lu Fan still only used one sword.

Made the cut!
Top 32!

As he gets closer to his goal, his opponents will naturally become stronger and stronger.

Lu Fan was not worried, but was slightly excited.

He really wanted to see how strong the most outstanding geniuses in the world of cultivating immortals were.

And Wei He, how strong is he?

"it is good!"

The trial ground was filled with thunderous applause and endless cheers.

"Lu Fan is so awesome!"

"Yes."

"Even if you reach the Great Perfection Stage of Void Refining, you can't stop him from striking out."

"In my opinion, he is even more powerful than the rumors say."

"Yes, I think so too."

"Even if you compare with Wei He, you may not lose."

“Wouldn’t that mean we are firmly in the top ten?”

"More than that? It's possible to win the first place!"

"I just don't know who his next opponent will be? Can he block his sword?"

"Who cares who he is? He can't stop Lu Fan's sword anyway."

"I think so. After all, Lu Fan's opponent in the next round is likely to be a strong man in the integration stage. Even if he is not as good as Lu Fan, he won't be able to block even a single blow."

"Would you like to take a gamble?"

"Just bet!"

There was a lot of discussion.

Those who were originally unfavorable to Lu Fan also changed their views.

Even the geniuses who had the loudest voices this time began to secretly observe Lu Fan.

For the first time, Lu Fan was treated as an opponent.

Of course, there are still some people who go their own way.

People like Song Yanqiu, Su Xiaomo, Ye Wentian, Cheng Ying and others have strong confidence in their own strength.

Although Lu Fan showed great strength, he still did not make them feel threatened.

Wei He, on the other hand, made them pay more attention to him.

In their opinion, although Lu Fan's talent far surpassed that of Wei He and was even better than theirs, it was not fully realized after all.

What they value more is their current strength rather than the illusory things in the future.

The most important thing in practicing cultivation is persistence.

The one who can make it to the end is the most powerful.

They all have a lot of experience and are used to seeing countless geniuses fall early.

There are also many so-called geniuses who gradually become mediocre.

Although Lu Fan was strong, he was only compared to ordinary monks.

Compared with them, the strength is still slightly inferior.

If there was a chance to meet him in the competition arena, they believed that they would be able to defeat Lu Fan.
