Qingyang Mountain, skyscraper cliff.
At the top of the skyscraper cliff, between the mist and mist rising from the misty sea of clouds, there are more than a dozen palaces covering a vast area with various features, each of which has specifications that far exceed those of ordinary cave mansions.
On the east side is the retreat place for the elders of the Penalty Hall who sit in Qingyang Mountain, and several deacons of the General Affairs Hall who serve as supervisors and arbiters.
On the west side are the headquarters of the seven major groups including "Tianhong", "Hongchen" and "Sifang".
The headquarters of the Rainbow Chapter is located in the first palace on the west side. Usually only Captain Tianhong practices here, but today, most of the senior officials are gathered and discussing matters.
"...I don't agree with this response plan!"
A man with a haggard body and sunken eye sockets, his voice was a bit weak, but his tone was decisive:
"Those monsters are all cruel and cunning. If you are strong, they will be weak. Only when we act strong will they shrink their tails!"
"If we show any sign of weakness, they will pounce on us without hesitation and try to bite us into pieces!"
His tone paused for a moment before continuing:
"In my opinion, we must launch reciprocal or even more severe retaliation for the destruction of the stronghold in Luofu Daze!"
"Only by beating them painfully and subduing them can those monsters remember the lesson learned this time and not dare to cross the line again in the future!"
"Senior Brother Chang."
Liu Yuxue frowned and said solemnly:
"Do you want to repeat the Great Crusade ten years ago?"
"good!"
The haggard man known as Senior Brother Chang held his head high and said loudly:
"The breach of the stronghold outside Luofu Daze this time is not a matter of our family, but involves almost all battle groups and several large teams."
"Our Tianhong Chapter can completely contact and organize the elite forces of the outer sect to launch a clearing of the outer areas of Luofu Daze!"
"Senior Brother Chang, you are too radical!"
A young man wearing a green shirt and holding a folding fan shook his head and said:
"This matter is not trivial. If we really want to launch an action similar to the 'Great Expedition', we cannot make the decision. We must at least report it to the senior brothers and sisters in the inner sect for their approval."
"Otherwise, if a few big monsters from the Qifu realm randomly emerge from the inner circle of Luofu Daze, it will be enough to cause us heavy losses and will only further encourage the arrogance of the monsters."
When he said this, he turned to look at the heroic man at the head of the long table and asked:
"Captain, what do you think?"
After hearing his words, everyone turned their attention to "Zhang Zhenyu", the leader of the Rainbow Chapter who was sitting at the top.
Half a month ago:
A monster craze suddenly broke out outside Luofu Daze. Nine out of ten of the strongholds established by Chunyang Immortal Sect were destroyed, causing heavy losses. At least hundreds of disciples lost their lives.
Because Luofu Daze is a hundred thousand miles away from the Liyang Mountains, the news has not yet spread on a large scale. Currently, only the top brass of the Seventh Army Group have learned of the news first and are urgently discussing countermeasures.
But such a big event that can shock the outer sect is destined not to be hidden for long.
Before arousing the excitement among the twelve outer sects, the Rainbow Chapter and other war groups, as the outer sect's role models and what the people want, must come up with corresponding plans.
After discussion, the current top management of the Rainbow Chapter is mainly divided into two groups:
One group supports Chang Liu’s radical strategy of reciprocal retaliation and advocates uniting all parties to launch an expedition;
The other side advocates reshaping the defense line and rebuilding strongholds first, and then waits for an opportunity to launch a counterattack after finding out the inside story.
Zhang Zhenyu pondered for a moment and did not answer. Instead, he turned his attention to a girl sitting on the left side of the lower head and asked:
"Junior sister Xu, you just came back from the outskirts of Luofu Daze. You have personally experienced the monster craze, and you know the situation there best."
"In your opinion, should we retaliate against the organization and launch a large-scale demon-slaying operation, or should we temporarily shrink the defense line, resist the monster wave, and wait for opportunities to rebuild peripheral strongholds?"
The girl known as Junior Sister Xu was wearing an exquisite palace dress and was extremely beautiful. At this moment, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed and she said:
"Captain, my team and I were slaying monsters outside Luofu Daze. We had completed our goal and were about to return to the mountain gate when we suddenly encountered a monster wave. Because of the remote location, we barely escaped."
"This time the monster craze broke out, many situations were murky and unclear, especially the fact that many strongholds were breached too quickly, which is very abnormal."
She glanced at the many senior executives and said cautiously:
"I suspect that there may be a big demon from the Qi Mansion Realm causing trouble, and there may be more than one or two."
"If this is the case, then I am afraid that this matter is not something we can decide. We should report it to the inner sect brothers and sisters as soon as possible and ask them to make a decision."
Hear her words:
Many senior leaders of the Rainbow Chapter had different expressions and looked at each other.
Although Xu Ling's words did not express her position clearly, since she wanted to report to the inner sect war group members, the implication was that she did not support the plan to immediately organize a counterattack.
Chang Liu's face looked a little ugly, but he said nothing and did not refute.
"Then let's follow Junior Sister Xu's opinion."
Zhang Zhenyu, the leader of the Rainbow Chapter, finally made the decision:
"This time, the monster craze outside Luofu Daze suddenly broke out. There was no warning beforehand, and many strongholds were breached too quickly. There are indeed many strange things."
"Regarding this matter, I will report it to Senior Brother Nemenluo as soon as possible and ask him to discuss it with all senior brothers and sisters before making a decision."
Now that Zhang Zhenyu has made a decision, many senior leaders of the Rainbow Chapter nodded in agreement, and the tense atmosphere in the field also eased.
And just then:
"Captain!"
A member of the war group hurried over and shouted loudly outside the hall:
"There is an important matter that needs to be reported. It is about Junior Brother Zhou Qing from Qingzhuyuan!"
"oh?"
Many senior leaders of the war group were a little surprised when they heard this.
They have naturally heard of Zhou Qing's name. It can be said that he is currently the most promising rising star of the Rainbow Chapter, a new talent, and one of the "Top Ten Leaders" scheduled for the future.
But Zhou Qing has been staying at the mountain gate, what could possibly happen that needs to alert the senior leaders of the group or even the leader?
You know, the members who are on duty at the group headquarters have always known how to advance and retreat. If it is an ordinary trivial matter, they will never disturb the high-level discussions at this time.
"Is there something wrong with the 'Asahi Palace' that was lent to him?"
A senior leader of the war group couldn't help but speak.
As soon as this statement came out, many senior officials, including Liu Yuxue, couldn't help but frown.
When they thought about it, because of Zhou Qing's incident, it was probably the only one who had something wrong with the respect treasure "Asahi Palace" that could alarm many senior leaders of the war group.
"Don't jump to conclusions yet."
Zhang Zhenyu waved his hand and said:
"Tell me what it is first."
"Yes, Captain."
The battle group member organized his language and then quickly said:
"It's like this. After today's outer sect competition ended, the news about the Qingzhuyuan competition caused a sensation everywhere..."
Along with his narration:
The expressions on the faces of many senior leaders of the war group gradually changed from stunned and shocked to confused. Everyone looked at each other and didn't know how to react for a while.
"This Zhou Qing..."
Chang Liu was the first to break the silence and murmured:
"...So powerful?!"
"More than just awesome? It's simply astonishing!"
Liu Yuxue reacted, beaming with joy, and could not spare her words of admiration:
"We really found a treasure this time!"
"This Zhou Qing's talent is ten times more powerful than we expected! In the future, the inner sect must be in sight!"
"good."
Zhang Zhenyu also spoke, agreeing with Liu Yuxue's words, with a smile on his face:
"For such a good young man to join our Rainbow Chapter, it is indeed a sign of our Chapter's great fortune!"
The rest of the senior leaders of the Rainbow Chapter also reacted after Zhang Zhenyu spoke, praising and exclamating him repeatedly.
For a time, the atmosphere in the meeting hall was very warm, and even the dull feeling from the previous bad news about Luofu Daze was mostly dissipated.
"Captain."
Liu Yuxue saw the time right and suggested striking while the iron is hot:
"Should our training plan for Zhou Qing be changed?"
"After all, the talent he displays now is much better than before. We should provide him with additional funding to prevent other war groups from taking advantage of the loophole!"
As soon as this statement came out, many senior officials nodded slightly and agreed.
Although Zhou Qing's original talent was good, it did not stand out from the crowd of talented people in the outer sect. After all, every year there was a new Immortal Seed who rose to the top in the same year.
In this case, as long as the Rainbow Chapter takes the advantage and recruits Zhou Qing into its sect first, other war groups will naturally give up.
But things are different now.
With the talent Zhou Qing has shown now, it can be said that it is truly rare to see in a century. As long as he does not fall midway, he will definitely be able to rank in the inner sect, and there may even be a glimmer of hope to compete for the title of true legend.
In this case, there is no guarantee that other war groups will not try to poach people. If they increase their chips and are willing to pay the price for Zhou Qing's violation of the legal contract, they may not be able to poach Zhou Qing from the Rainbow Chapter.
In view of this, of course they must increase their stakes and tie Zhou Qing firmly to the Rainbow Chapter's chariot.
"Junior Sister Liu is right!"
Zhang Zhenyu agreed:
"Since you were the one who recruited Zhou Qing in the first place, you should be responsible for this matter as well."
"Early tomorrow morning, go find Zhou Qing, double the amount of support you originally gave him, and provide him with a thousand spiritual stones every month!"
When he said this, he pondered for a moment and then said:
"In addition, on the day he ascends to the seventh level of Kai Mai, our Tianhong Battle Group will give him a three-piece set of Chi Yang Beads of the highest level of magic weapon!"
"Such a big investment must be enough to win his heart."
"Yes, congratulations, Commander."
Liu Yuxue smiled and nodded, agreeing to the matter.
…………
Deep in the Baili Sea of Bamboo, in the Asahi Palace.
Zhou Qing sat cross-legged in the quiet training room. Without much hesitation, he continued to add the 1 attribute point to the "god" attribute.
At this point, the "god" attribute among the three attributes has reached 12 points, far exceeding the other two attributes.
"hiss!"
A familiar tingling sensation came, and this time the movement was much more intense than the previous times, but Zhou Qing still endured it.
After the tingling feeling of further strengthening of the soul goes away:
When Zhou Qing opened his eyes, he suddenly felt that everything around him was different. Every detail he saw was visible. He could hear the ants fighting, smell the smells, and his five senses were incredibly sharp.
Not only were the changes in his five senses, but his spiritual sense, or intuition, and sixth sense seemed to have been strengthened to a certain extent, which gave him a premonition that his ability to control spells and magic weapons had once again improved. improvement.
A glimmer of understanding suddenly appeared in his heart:
"The power of my soul now has completely surpassed that of a monk with perfect meridians. It is no longer on the same level."
"Maybe... I can try Mana Five Points?"
