Chapter 310 Mysterious Key, Learn Leg Techniques: Planting Lotus in Fire

The back mountain of Canglong Temple.

When Zhao Ya carefully opened the box he had found from Yu Zhang, he was stunned.

Because what was inside was not the natural treasure or rare elixir that Zhao Ya had imagined before, but a key with an ancient shape.

The key was made of bronze, and there were strange patterns engraved on it, which looked ancient and mysterious.

Zhao Ya took it and looked at it in his hand for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out.

Except that it should be an antique, there was nothing special about it.

But the fact that Yu Zhang valued it so much and carried it with him obviously proved that this key was definitely extraordinary.

Although he didn't see anything special at the moment, Zhao Ya still carefully put it back into the box and returned to Canglong Temple.

At this time, it was only three days away from the New Year, and most of the disciples who lived close to home had already gone back.

The huge Canglong Temple seemed a lot emptier.

Including the library, which was usually very lively, it was also deserted at this moment.

But Zhao Ya was happy with it.

His plan for the New Year was to spend the rest of his time in the library, except for the necessary social activities.

The battle with Yu Zhang made Zhao Ya realize his own shortcomings.

If he wanted to gain a real foothold, he had to break through to the Kaimai realm as soon as possible.

In particular, Zhao Ya knew that after this incident, he and the elders such as Xia Jiye had completely fallen out.

In order to get rid of him, they might use any means.

So the top priority was to improve his strength as soon as possible.

This time Zhao Ya planned to go to the third floor to take a look.

He had always wanted to go there before, but he had never been able to enter because of his insufficient contribution to the sect.

Now, with a full 3,000 contribution to the sect, Zhao Ya is much more confident.

Like the second floor, there was also someone in charge of registration in front of the third floor.

When Zhao Ya handed over his contribution card to the sect, the person who registered looked at Zhao Ya in surprise, and then smiled.

"So you are Zhao Ya, it's almost the New Year and you're still working so hard?"

After the incident with Yu Zhang, Zhao Ya became completely famous in Canglong Temple.

Not only the disciples, but also many elders and even the registrar in the library who didn't ask about the outside world knew Zhao Ya's name.

Zhao Ya just smiled and said, "I'm idle anyway. It's quiet during the New Year, so I can take this opportunity to improve my strength."

"Okay, martial artists should be so brave and diligent. Go ahead. You know the rules, so I don't need to say more."

Zhao Ya nodded, and then walked into the third floor.

The layout of the third floor is similar to that of the first and second floors. The only difference is that the scale of the collection here is obviously much smaller.

But without exception, the books on the bookshelves are all the best of the best, and any one of them is worth a lot of money.

Zhao Ya wandered between the bookshelves, looking at the dazzling collection of books, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

This is the benefit of joining a large sect.

Apart from anything else, these books alone are worth the effort.

Time is precious, Zhao Ya did not dare to delay, and quickly selected a few secret books about leg techniques, and then read them eagerly.

Now Zhao Ya's boxing and sword techniques have reached the limit of what he can achieve at his current level.

The only shortcoming is that his leg skills are too weak.

And Zhao Ya has a hunch that as long as his leg skills are improved, his lightness skills can be improved a lot.

Just as Zhao Ya was working hard in the library, in a side hall of Canglong Temple.

Xia Jiye and many elders who passed on skills sat together, but no one spoke, and the atmosphere seemed dull and depressing.

After a long time, someone sighed.

"There is no doubt that the elder is going to take action against us. Yu Zhang is just the beginning. Next, he will take action against us."

Everyone's mood became heavier.

Because they all saw the scene of Yu Zhang's "tragic death" in the hall yesterday.

As a representative of the group with a very flexible mind, Yu Zhang has a high prestige.

So when he died, this group of people could not help but feel sad.

"No, we have to think of a way, otherwise, wouldn't it be like sitting and waiting to die if we continue like this?" An elder said with a gloomy face.

"What way? Can you beat Guan Xuejiang? Even if you can beat him, don't forget that there is another Guo Luming in the library who is unfathomable." Someone sneered.

"I don't believe that the two of them really dare to kill people. You know, we all made great contributions in the war of division that year, and if we are really overthrown and eliminated, the Canglong Temple will be completely finished." An elder said with a face full of dissatisfaction.

"That's what he said, but who can guarantee that Guan Xuejiang won't really kill people? In fact, he doesn't even need to do it. As long as he instructs Shen Yunshen or other disciples to investigate like this time, we will be very passive." Someone sighed.

"Damn it, I get angry when I talk about this. If Yu Zhang was killed by Guan Xuejiang, it would be understandable. But it was a disciple who had just joined the sect. It's such a shame."

"Didn't Zhao Ya have conflicts with Elder Xia before? This kid is so erratic. Is there no one who can control him?"

"Now he is a favorite of the great elder. I heard that even Guo Luming appreciates him very much. You really can't do anything about him."

Hearing this, the elders fell silent again.

At this moment, Xia Jiye, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

"No matter what, we have to take an attitude on this matter, otherwise Guan Xuejiang will definitely push his way and gradually suppress us."

"That's right, but what should we do?" asked a chubby elder next to him.

"Let's start with Zhao Ya. Guan Xuejiang wants to use him as a tool to pry us. Then we should find a way to kill him. This will not only be a warning to Guan Xuejiang, but also a reminder to other disciples so that they dare not go against us." Xia Jiye said viciously.

"Okay, I agree."

"I agree too."

For a while, these elders agreed.

"When do we start?" asked the chubby elder.

"We definitely can't do it in the temple, and we can't do it either, so it's best to wait until he goes out and find someone to kill him, so wait until after the New Year, and I'll contact people after the New Year." Xia Jiye said coldly.

He really wanted to kill this time.

If Zhao Ya just made him embarrassed in public before, then this time Xia Jiye really felt the threat from Zhao Ya.

If this boy is not eliminated, I will feel uneasy.

Just as Xia Jiye and his group were plotting how to deal with the situation in front of them, this matter also spread rapidly through various channels and soon became known to all the major sects.

Bei Canglong.

As a powerful force that split off, Bei Canglong also occupied a high mountain and built a huge temple in the style of Canglong Temple.

Bei Canglong even specially hired skilled craftsmen to carve a giant dragon on the mountain as his own cliff dragon.

All these signs reveal Bei Canglong's ambition.

In fact, from the moment of splitting off, Bei Canglong has always regarded himself as the main vein of Canglong and called Nan Canglong the reverse vein.

At this moment, Luo Congkuan and several elders of Bei Canglong were discussing what happened in Nan Canglong.

"Yu Zhang had a good relationship with me back then. I didn't expect that he would mistakenly follow the reverse vein of Nan Cang and end up like this." An elder sighed.

Luo Congkuan's focus was not on this at all. He frowned and thought for a long time before speaking in a deep voice.

"As far as I know, there are three forces in Nan Canglong. The first is the faction of the great elders headed by Guan Xuejiang, including Shen Yunshen and Qin Jianji."

"The second is the interest group composed of Yu Zhang, Xia Jiye and other elders who pass on the skills. Although these elders are not in high positions, their number is extremely large, so they are the largest of the three forces in Nan Canglong."

"Finally, there are some neutral factions. These people basically do not participate in the internal affairs of Nan Canglong. The number is also the least, so they can be ignored."

"And this time Yu Zhang's death, it is obvious that Guan Xuejiang wants to take action against Xia Jiye and others."

The elders nodded after hearing this.

"Guan Xuejiang has been forbearing for so many years, and suddenly decided to take action at this time. Obviously, he has his own ideas, but Xia Jiye and others are not vegetarians, so the next story should be very exciting." An elder smiled.

"Not only that, if this matter is not handled with care, it may turn into another war of division. At that time, it will be time for us to eliminate the Nan Cang rebellion and return to the orthodoxy." Another elder said.

Hearing this, the eyes of all the people present were brightened.

Luo Congkuan nodded seriously and said: "That's right, so during this period of time, we must focus on the Nan Canglong's affairs. The spies buried before must be activated now, and we will be guaranteed to know the first time if there is any movement."

"Understood, I will do it later."

"Also, pay attention to this Zhao Ya, I always feel that this guy is not simple." Luo Congkuan said.

"Yeah."

After the discussion, everyone dispersed.

Luo Congkuan did not leave. He talked with several elders who stayed for a while, and then asked.

"Has there been any movement from the temple master recently?"

"No, the temple master is still in seclusion. I sent a few disciples to guard there around the clock to ensure that there will be no mistakes." An elder said.

"Alas, I hope that the temple master can break through the realm as soon as possible and achieve freedom. By then, Guan Xuejiang and Guo Luming will be nothing but chickens and pottery dogs, vulnerable to attack, and even unifying the foreign land will be a piece of cake." Luo Congkuan said.

"Don't worry, the temple master is a genius. At the age of 22, he opened the Ren and Du meridians and entered the Kaimai realm. At the age of 35, he entered the Yuanhai. This achievement is unprecedented, so he will definitely break through the realm successfully." An elder said.

"I know, I just hope that day will come one day earlier." Luo Congkuan said.

——

Wanghai Tower.

Pei Quanan learned about Canglong Temple from his master Shen Jiu.

When he heard that Zhao Ya had overthrown an elder of his own sect after entering the sect.

Even though he hated Zhao Ya to the core, Pei Quanan couldn't help but be shocked.

"Master, isn't Zhao Ya afraid of revenge for doing this?"

"Who knows? But since he is willing to be a knife for Guan Xuejiang and others, he must be prepared to be broken at any time."

"You mean his end won't be too good?" Pei Quan'an's eyes lit up and he asked immediately.

"Of course, unless his strength can improve by leaps and bounds, the final outcome will definitely be very miserable. I tell you this to warn you not to act rashly and to plan everything before you act."

"Disciple understands."

"I heard that you've been getting close to Nangong Yanran recently. I want to remind you that you can have fun, but don't get anyone killed, unless you want to marry her, otherwise it's not easy for your master to end it for you."

"Don't worry, Master. I know my limits. Besides, this is all Nangong Yanran's own initiative. It's natural not to take advantage of such an advantage." Pei Quanan said with a smile.

"You kid, hurry up and practice martial arts." Shen Jiu scolded with a smile.

Pei Quanan retreated and straightened his back after coming outside.

"Brother, what did Master say to you?" Nangong Yanran, who had been waiting outside, saw him coming out and hurried to meet him.

"I didn't say anything, just talked about some things in the martial arts world."

Pei Quanan saw that there was no one around, so he reached out and took Nangong Yanran into his arms, saying with a smile.

"Let's go and play with my brother for a while, and at the same time, tell me about the family of your childhood sweetheart Gui Xuanqing."

Nangong Yanran was a little helpless, "What do you want to hear?"

"Let's focus on the ink sea owned by the Gui family. I heard you say before that the reason why the Gui family is so rich is mostly from the output of the ink sea."

"Yes."

"Then tell me about it, my brother is very interested in this."

While talking, Pei Quanan took Nangong Yanran and walked towards his residence.

Not only Bei Canglong and Wanghai Tower, but also Ziyan Chuanlinzhai, Tianyi Pavilion, Longxiangyuan and other major sects reacted differently after hearing the news.

But no matter who it was, they all understood that this incident was just a fuse.

Nan Canglong will have troubles from now on.

And Zhao Ya's name also spread with this incident and was remembered by many people.

Zhao Ya was not aware of these disturbances in the outside world.

At this moment, he was completely immersed in the ocean of martial arts, and his daily life was extremely regular, even boring.

After getting up in the morning, washing and eating, he went to the library and stayed there for a whole day. In the evening, he went to the back mountain to find a secluded place to practice.

This was the case every day until the first day of the new year.

On this day, Zhao Ya got up early, first went to greet Qin Jianji, Shen Yunshen and other elders who were on good terms, and then went to the library to continue reading.

Seeing this scene, even Guo Luming couldn't stand it.

"You've been busy for so long, and today is the New Year, so you can take a day off."

Zhao Ya just smiled at this.

"It's more boring to rest at home, it's better to stay in the library."

Guo Luming had no choice but to let Zhao Ya go.

Finally.

After reading all the secret books about leg skills.

On the night of the first day of the new year, Zhao Ya was dodging in a forest. After practicing for a long time, he finally waited for the long-awaited prompt.
