There is a lake embedded in the green land, which reflects the world like a mirror, hence the name Mingjing Lake.
Originally, only the Cangwu tribe lived on the shores of Mingjing Lake, growing medicine and refining elixirs. But now, five barbarian tribes have gathered together, with a population of up to 200,000, and it has become a large human settlement.
Around Mingjing Lake, barbarians are building wooden walls to resist the invasion of beasts.
On this day, Yong, who was leading his warriors on an inspection tour, suddenly felt several powerful auras approaching. He was shocked and hurriedly sent someone to report back to the strong men of various races, while he prepared to go forward to inquire and resist.
But then, Ning Changge's voice came: "Yong, don't panic, I'm back!"
"It's the clan leader!"
Yong Xi said. Ning Changge is now the common leader of the five barbarian tribes and the strongest among them.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Ling and others also appeared. Ye Ling smiled and said, "Yong, long time no see."
When Yong saw it was Ye Ling, tears filled his eyes: "Brother Ye, it's so great that you are back!"
Ye Ling and others followed Yong to the shore of Mingjing Lake to meet everyone. Today, Yong's wife Lu is the leader of the Cangwu tribe, and she and Yong are about to give birth to their child.
In addition, there were also the chief Wu of the Juchen tribe, the new chief Rui of the Siwu tribe, the elders Hui and Yuan of the Houzhao tribe, the elder Cui and the elder Yao of the Cangwu tribe, etc., all gathered in the main hall for discussion.
In addition, there are more than 200 disciples of the Wanjian Divine Sect, led by Mi Tianyang and Shen Shidu, who are also here. At this moment, two representatives came.
Banxue held Ning Yu, who was already one year old, with Xiaoxiao beside him. Xiaoxiao was still at the Lingxu realm at this moment. He couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that Shanjie and the others had entered the Yingchong realm and their appearance had changed greatly.
Ning Changge sat at the front seat, and Ye Ling and others also sat down in separate seats. Ning Changge said: "Everyone, we went to the mainland this time without any danger. Ye Zi and the others have also returned. The next step is to completely conquer the Hongling Mountains!"
The Hongling Mountains are currently occupied by the Zhiming Tribe, Lingguang Tribe, and Mengzhang Tribe. The Mengzhang tribe was the strongest, so it was jointly opposed by the Lingguang tribe and the Zhiming tribe. The two sides fought with each other this year, causing many casualties.
Ning Changge once wanted to recruit and sent envoys, but none of the three tribes were willing to join the alliance, leaving Ning Changge helpless. In addition, the Mengzhang tribe has hatred against them. It will be difficult for the five tribes here to accept the Mengzhang tribe.
Ye Ling said: "Teng Yun is still waiting for us to return inland. We need to send people to find him."
Bai Wuyu said: "We have a special status now. It is best not to return. It is better to let the barbarian elders here have a hard time."
Elder Cui stood up immediately and said, "Elder Ye has been very kind to our Cangwu tribe, and I am willing to make a trip."
Ning Changge nodded and said, "Okay, let Xiaobai inform Elder Cui of the specific location later, and then you can set off."
Later, Yong asked: "I think Brother Ye's realm has improved a lot. Can't we go to the Hongling Mountains and unify the eight divisions into one?"
The Fuyu tribe where Yong belongs is now divided into two parts. The leader of the other part is named You, who is now attached to the Mengzhang tribe. Yong has always been thinking about reuniting the two parts.
Ye Ling said: "There is no rush, and to be honest with you, we have obtained some treasures from a demon saint tomb in the mainland, so the forces of the human race and the demon race should be hunting us now, and I am afraid that we will come to other places in the next few days. I hope you will inform the tribesmen when you go back and don't reveal to the outside world that we are here, so as not to provoke powerful enemies. These days, my nephews and I will be in seclusion. We will discuss it after we come out."
After hearing this, the heads of the barbarian tribes all agreed. Although Ning Changge is the leader of these five clans, Ye Ling's words are obviously more powerful.
After some more gossip, everyone dispersed. Ye Ling and others finally had the opportunity to visit Ning Yu.
Ning Yu is now able to run around and talk. If his body is not still too weak, he can probably be taught to start practicing.
Xu Hong shook his head and sighed: "Time is not forgiving. Changge already has a child. I don't know if the daughter-in-law I am waiting for has been born from her mother's womb!"
Bai Wuyu smiled and said: "Your mouth is so unreasonable that it will cause trouble. I'm afraid there will be no good girls to live with you."
"Boy, let's see who among us gets married first!"
Ye Ling smiled and rubbed Ning Yu's little head, and took out a jade pendant from his jasper finger. This jade pendant was accidentally obtained by him in his early years. It is a defensive weapon. It is said that it can prevent the full blow of the monks in the immortal realm. Make a peace charm!
Bai Wuyu and others also gave them greeting gifts one after another. Ning Yu laughed and accepted them all, and quickly changed his name and called everyone uncle.
Not wanting to disturb the reunion of Ning Changge's family, everyone walked out. Elder Cui had already ordered people to arrange accommodation. Although it was simple, it was peaceful.
In the evening, everyone gathered for a while, but in order to prevent more clan members from knowing about it and leaking the news, they did not make a big fanfare.
In the middle of the night, Ye Ling and Xu Hong walked side by side by the lake. The cool breeze blew away the smell of alcohol from their bodies.
Xu Hongdao: "When I came to Mingjing Lake, Senior Nan'an and the others had already left. Chang Ge said that Taoist Chang-hair came to pick up the senior personally and said that he would find a way to restore his cultivation. The senior left behind before leaving. If you tell Mi Tianyang and the others to follow your arrangements, Senior Nan'an will leave the future of the Wanjian Divine Sect in your hands."
Ye Ling nodded when he heard this and said: "That's why I feel a heavy burden on my shoulders. Throughout my journey, although I have always exercised restraint, I have offended too many people and too many forces, and everyone who has anything to do with me will be implicated. When I was older Ge is just an acquaintance with me. He was expelled from the Piaomiao Sect, and you were even more criticized. This time you come down from the mountain, I'm afraid you can't stand the eyes of your fellow sects again, right?"
Xu Hong smiled and said: "They are all secular mediocrities, I don't care."
Ye Ling did not expose him, and continued: "So I was reflecting on why those people had trouble with me. Later I figured out that there is always such a thing as power in this world, and those who gain power must stand at the top. , People without power wander at the foot of the mountain. There may be selfless people who do not use power to oppress others, but relying on people's conscience has never succeeded."
"Power is obtained by chance and is inevitably monopolized. If someone wants to steal it hastily, no one will agree."
"This kind of power is power, influence, and even mana. I am just a monk, so I am not tolerated by various sects. Maybe my actions are considered by them to be a thief of power!"
Xu Hong said: "Yi Zi, so that's what you think. It seems that your experience in the Daqian Dynasty has a great influence on you."
"It's nothing more than weighing the pros and cons, nothing more than a mutual game."
Ye Ling smiled helplessly: "I don't know if I can achieve that illusory way. I only know that if I want to protect myself and the friends around me, the only way is to join the group to keep warm."
"But have you ever thought that if a sect is formed, those big forces will still interfere, or even interfere more seriously. Have you forgotten about the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect?"
Ye Ling was silent for a long time, and then said: "But do we still have a choice?"
Xu Hong was stunned when he heard this, and after a long time he chuckled and said, "You're right, we have no choice. You must have already made a calculation in your mind, right?"
"Now Xiao Wu has reached the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, and I am about to enter the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. With your help, our peak combat power will not be inferior to that of ordinary second-rate sects. In addition, there are now two hundred members of the Ten Thousand Swords Divine Sect. There are many disciples and barbarian monks, so we are not short of manpower."
"As long as we can put up the frame first, we can slowly improve the rest."
Xu Hong nodded and said: "Find Jiang Fan, Ming Xuyu, Yue Zhufeng and others. In addition, find a way to mobilize the powerful thieves and ghost thieves to join our sect. Our strength will be even stronger!"
Ye Ling smiled and said, "In that case, I would like to ask you, a scholar, to come up with a resounding name for our newly established sect."
"This is something you need to think about carefully."
Xu Hong waved his fan and said, "There's no rush anyway. The limelight has passed these days. You, Xiao Wu, and the others will practice in seclusion first, and when you have a breakthrough, you can officially establish a sect."
Ye Ling responded and said, "Then there's only one thing left."
As he spoke, Ye Ling stretched out his hand and made a move, eighteen
The demon-suppressing pillar flew out and landed in an open space not far away. The extraterrestrial rat demon, who was firmly trapped by the pillar's chain, looked sluggish at this moment. It was obvious that a lot of energy and blood had been drained by the demon-suppressing pillar.
"I think you still want to know the secrets outside the territory, Xiucai."
Xu Hong nodded, took out a pen and paper with his backhand, and said, "Let's find a good place to interrogate. I need to take notes."
So, Ye Ling and Xu Hong took the extraterrestrial rat demon to a valley a hundred miles away from Mingjing Lake.
Ye Ling said to the rat demon: "You must have known these days that you will definitely not be able to break free from my weapon, but if you cooperate, I can alleviate your pain."
The rat demon was obviously tortured and frightened by the demon-suppressing pillars, and he quickly said: "Whatever you want me to do, I will definitely cooperate. Please spare my life and let me leave these pillars."
"Okay, but you have to answer my questions honestly."
"What do you want to ask?"
"May I have your name?"
"Heiwei."
The rat demon said.
"Where are you from outside the territory, and why do you come to us?"
"My hometown is very far away from here. We are a demon tribe living in the west of the continent. We followed the strong men of the human race across the desert, next door, mountains, and grasslands before finally arriving here."
"Why did you come here?"
"In order to spread the gospel of the God Emperor!" Heiwei said with great piety: "The creatures here don't know how to believe in the only God Emperor, and don't know how to repent of their sins. They just kill each other in ignorance. They will inevitably fall into the world after death. Hell. We are here to save you!"
When Ye Ling heard this, he frowned. The memory of his previous life reminded him of similar rhetoric. At the same time, he recalled what he had encountered back then, so he asked, "Is the human race you are talking about the Trinity?"
Heiwei couldn't help but be surprised: "How do you know about the divine religion?"
Ye Ling said: "Obviously you are not the first group of extraterrestrial holy spirits to sneak into our five regions. Back then, a group of humans who called themselves the Trinity Church went to the Eastern Region. I still remember that the knight was called Tolima. Do you know?"
Heiwei nodded and said: "I know, those are the first batch of knights sent by the divine sect. They bravely accepted this task, but there has been no news for a long time. Are they already dead?"
Ye Ling nodded and said, "They were discovered by our human clan and all of them were killed."
"They are all warriors and will be led by the God Emperor to heaven!"
Xu Hong frowned and said: "How come he is like the Holy Spirit Cult? He is so nagging. Let me ask you, how many people from your Trinity Cult or your demon clan have come? Where are they now? What are you going to do next?"
