After some discussion and analysis, Zhang Chaozong and others concluded that Du Meier's father was probably imprisoned in the sect's stone prison. Beiyuan Sect built a stone prison on the Prison Peak in the southeast of Cuiping Peak to detain some disciples who violated the sect's rules and enemies of the sect. As an elder of the sect, Nangong Zhen's destruction of a Tianzhu Pavilion in Xiyuanfang City is really not a big deal. If Du Mei'er had not been related to Zhang Chaozong, and Zhang Chaozong had been related to Xiao Yurong, I am afraid that it would have been the Quanbei Yuan Dynasty. Even if Zongdu knew about this, no one would care. Because of this, Zhang Chaozong and others analyzed that Nangong Zhen did not need to detain Du Zhan in isolation at all, and could just lock him in a stone prison.
Since we have this conjecture, we naturally go to Shilao to verify it. The stone prison is considered a relatively heavily defended place in the Beiyuan Sect, but Xiao Yurong is the second master of the Beiyuan Sect, so it will be easy to enter a stone prison.
"Mei'er, look carefully in a moment and tell me if you see your father." Xiao Yurong said to Du Mei'er who was following behind.
"Yes." Du Meier nodded vigorously.
This time, Du Meier was the only one who came with Xiao Yurong. Zhang Chaozong and Lu Xiangxun originally wanted to follow, but were stopped by Xiao Yurong. After all, Zhang Chaozong and Lu Xiangxun were celebrities in the sect and could easily be recognized. Before Nangong Zhen is dealt with, this is more dangerous. Xiao Yurong does not want Zhang Chaozong and Lu Xiangxun to take risks.
Xiao Yurong took Du Meier around in the stone prison. Du Meier shook her head gently, her meaning was very clear, and she did not find her father Du Zhan.
"Come here." Xiao Yurong frowned slightly and waved to the cell leader who was following behind.
When the cell leader saw Xiao Yurong summoning him, he was immediately flattered. He walked two steps quickly, came to Xiao Yurong and bowed his waist and said, "Elder Xiao, what are your orders?"
"I remember that there seemed to be some special secret rooms in the stone prison, right?" Xiao Yurong asked.
"Yes, yes, I will take you there right away." The prison boss was still very discerning and could see that Xiao Yurong seemed to be looking for someone.
Normally, one cannot enter the secret chamber of a stone prison casually, but Xiao Yurong is the second-ranking figure in the Beiyuan Sect. Not to mention a mere secret chamber of a stone prison, she can go to the Chongxiao Hall of the sect leader Gu Yong whenever she wants.
Entering the secret room of the stone prison, the environment suddenly changed. The cell environment outside is very poor, but here it is very clean and the security is much tighter. It's obvious that this is where important prisoners are held.
This time, Du Meier discovered her father Du Zhan after just looking for two or three rooms. As soon as she saw Du Zhan, Du Meier almost shed tears, because Du Zhan looked so miserable, and his whole body was bruised and bloody. However, Du Mei'er still resisted the impulse, tried her best to remain calm, and just quietly made a gesture to Xiao Yurong.
"Prison leader, I want to discuss something with you." Xiao Yurong called the prison leader to him again and said with a smile.
Her smile was so bright that her head was dizzy.
"Elder Xiao, if you have anything to do, just give me your orders. I will definitely obey my orders." The prison boss said with a smile.
"It's like this. I have recently practiced a skill and I need someone with special abilities to practice it. I think this person is good and I am going to take him away. What do you think?" Xiao Yurong asked.
When the cell leader saw that the person Xiao Yurong was pointing to was Du Zhan, he suddenly looked embarrassed. You know, Nangong Zhen had specifically told him before that he must keep a close eye on Du Zhan. If Xiao Yurong took the person away, he would not be able to explain it to Nangong Zhen.
"Haha, Elder Xiao, I dare not hide it from you. This person's name is Du Zhan, and he is an important prisoner that Elder Nangong specially ordered to keep under strict supervision. How about you choose another person?" the cell leader said with a smile on his face.
When Xiao Yurong heard what the prison chief said, her pretty face suddenly sank, as if covered with frost.
"What? Can't I even take away the prisoners Nangong Zhen asked to take care of? Do you think I'm not as good as Nangong Zhen?" Xiao Yurong asked coldly.
"I don't dare, I don't dare. Elder Xiao, please calm down." Seeing Xiao Yurong getting angry, the cell leader was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.
"Then will you let this person be mentioned?" Xiao Yurong asked again.
¡°Let, let, I¡¯ll pick someone up for you right away.¡± Seeing Xiao Yurong¡¯s anger, the prison boss¡¯s face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly got up and opened the cell door. He still knew very well that although Xiao Yurong and Nangong Zhen were both sect elders, their status gap was very different. Even Nangong Zhen was here today and he did not dare to object to Xiao Yurong's appointment.
¡°If Nangong Zhen is to blame, then let him find me, Xiao Yurong.¡± Xiao Yurong and Du Meier left the stone prison with Du Zhan.
As soon as Xiao Yurong, the cell leader, left, he immediately rushed to Nangong Zhen's cave to report. If you wait for Nangong ZhenzhuWhen Dong Dong asked, he reported that if Xiao Yurong took him away, he might not be able to eat and carry him around.
"What? The person was taken away?" When Nangong Zhen heard the report from the cell leader, he was furious. He picked up a vase and smashed it to pieces.
In the past two days, Nangong Zhen was in a very bad mood, very bad, because his only son Nangong Xun died. The moment he discovered that Nangong Xun's soul card was broken, Nangong Zhen almost went crazy. He mobilized all the power he could to investigate the cause of Nangong Xun's death. But several days passed, but Nangong Xun's body was not found.
Today, Nangong Zhen was depressed in his room, but when the cell boss came in and reported such news to him, how could he not be furious. When the cell leader saw Nangong Zhen's thunderous fury, his legs trembled with fear. He stood there tremblingly, not daring to take a breath.
"Tell me, why did Xiao Yurong carry Du Zhan away?" After venting for a while, Nangong Zhen calmed down. He couldn't figure out how Xiao Yurong could carry a prisoner in a stone prison.
"Elder Xiao said that she was practicing a special skill and needed someone with special skills to practice it, so she took her away." The prison leader replied.
"Special bones?" Nangong Zhen frowned slightly. He had seen Du Zhan often, but he didn't find any special bones in this person. However, Nangong Zhen himself was not sure. After all, it was Xiao Yurong who took away the person. Maybe Xiao Yurong had really discovered some special bones.
Nangong Zhen felt a little distressed. The reason why he did not kill Du Zhan but locked him up was because he found out that there was a secret warehouse in Tianzhu Pavilion, which stored a lot of elixirs and herbs. He wanted to get rid of these things. Once you get it, kill Du Zhan. The reason why Du Zhan was tortured and bruised all over was because Nangong Zhen beat him when he tortured him about the location of the secret warehouse.
Originally, if other monks in the Danjie stage wanted to find out the location of the secret warehouse, they could directly search Du Zhan's soul, but Nangong Zhen couldn't do that. The reason why Nangong Zhen was able to condense the golden elixir was entirely due to the use of secret methods to forcibly improve his cultivation. Although his cultivation level has barely improved, it is difficult for his spiritual consciousness to reach the level of pill formation in a short period of time. Therefore, strictly speaking, Nangong Zhen can only be regarded as a monk at the half-level pill formation stage, and cannot use secret techniques such as soul searching. Moreover, the price he paid for condensing the golden elixir was also huge. His cultivation would always stay at the elixir-forming stage and he would never be able to make any progress.
Although he felt very distressed, Nangong Zhen did not dare to come to see Xiao Yurong at all. Nangong Zhen knew very well that he didn't have enough weight in front of Xiao Yurong, and he would be humiliating himself if he went there. Besides, although there are some things in the secret warehouse of Tianzhu Pavilion, they are not too much to expect. After all, they are just a small cultivation family. It's not worth it to offend Xiao Yurong for this little thing.
"Okay, you go back, remember, this matter is not allowed to be mentioned to anyone." Nangong Zhen said to the cell leader.
"Yes, yes, I will resign." As if he had been granted amnesty, the cell leader respectfully exited Nangong Zhen's cave, and then ran away without a trace.
Not to mention Nangong Zhen, Xiao Yurong and Du Meier brought Du Zhan back to Cuiping Peak. Seeing her father's miserable condition, Du Mei'er couldn't bear it any longer. Her tears fell down like broken beads.
"Meier, don't cry. Your father is fine. I'll give him some treatment and he should wake up." Xiao Yurong comforted Du Meier.
It turned out that Du Zhan was extremely weak from the torture. After seeing Du Meier, he fainted from excitement. Xiao Yurong took out an elixir and put it into Du Zhan's mouth, then tapped the back of his neck, and the elixir immediately went down his throat.
Then, Xiao Yurong took a spiritual secret in her hand, twisted out a few runes, and slapped Du Zhan on the back. Du Zhan said "Wow", spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then slowly opened his eyes.
"Dad, dad." Du Meier was overjoyed when she saw her father woke up. She rushed over and held Du Zhan's left hand tightly with both hands.
"Meier, is it really you?" Du Zhan looked at Du Meier and felt as if he was dreaming.
"It's me, it's me." Du Meier nodded repeatedly.
"Meier, my good Meier, dad never thought that he would see you again in this life." When Du Zhan said this, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Dad, please stop talking. It's fine now. Everything is fine." Du Meier cried like a tearful person.
When Zhang Chaozong saw this scene, he felt very uncomfortable. After crying for a while, Du Zhan and Du Meier finally calmed down. After Du Zhan thanked Xiao Yurong for saving his life, everyone began to discuss how to deal with Nangong Zhen.
Nangong Zhen not only has a grudge against Du Zhan, Du Meier and his daughter, but also has a big grudge against Lu Xiangxun. In terms of teacher-teacher relationship, he also had a grudge against Zhang Chaozong. Under such circumstances, naturally the old guy cannot be let go. However, Nangong Zhen is now an elder of the Beiyuan Sect in the Dan-Jie stage. To kill him, a careful plan must be made. Best to findCollect the evidence that Gong Zhen killed Lu Nanyang, so that he can get his revenge justifiably, and Lu Nanyang can feel at ease under the circumstances.
After pondering for a while, Zhang Chaozong's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I thought of an idea." Zhang Chaozong said.
"What's your idea?" Xiao Yurong asked.
"We might as well do this" Zhang Chaozong said with a sly smile.
