Meeting these foundation-building experts one by one, Xu Wen suddenly felt a lot more at ease, and the pressure brought by Chief Qiu Yun suddenly dissipated a lot.
Although he is only an outside disciple, he cannot be compared with his status as an inner disciple of Qiu Yunchang.
But he has already become a disciple of Li Xiuning, which is completely different from the ordinary outer disciples. His promotion to an inner disciple in the future is also a certainty.
The rules of the Zhiyuan Sect are very strict. With this important status, Qiu Yunzhang can only move his hands and feet secretly at most, and he will never dare to do anything openly.
As long as the other party couldn't take advantage of Yuanmen's power, Xu Wen wouldn't be afraid of him.
While talking and laughing, Ruan Cishan sent a signal to summon the Yuanmen disciples to come and see him.
Not long after, Zhang Longxiang, Deng Mengnu and others arrived one after another.
There were thirteen people before setting off, but now only a few are left, and the fate of the rest is unknown.
Compared with the high spirits when they set off, they are now much calmer. Each of them has an uncontrollable murderous aura. Fighting is indeed the most training thing.
Haihuan and others also rushed over. They were much better than the people from Zhiyuanmen. Only two people were missing, and one of them was killed by Li Wen.
This is of course not because they are more powerful, but because all forces know that they are the key to reaching the four treasure lands, so they deliberately show mercy to them.
Seeing Xu Wen standing behind Li Xiuning, everyone's expressions changed slightly.
Many times, a position can explain a lot of problems.
Although there are no explicit rules, most people know who should stand where and where they should stand.
Occasionally someone may not know the appropriateness and stand in the wrong position, but others will soon make him realize this.
And Xu Wen was obviously not the kind of person who would stand in the wrong position.
Seeing his former companions, Xu Wen immediately stepped forward to greet them one by one.
Zhang Jiuting and others were the happiest to see Xu Wen.
After the Foundation Establishment Pill incident, the relationship between the six of them suddenly became much closer, as if it was no longer comparable to that of others.
After being separated for such a long time, everyone has made some progress in their cultivation. Hai Zhenzhu and Zhang Longjiu have advanced to the middle stage of Qi refining and are finally no longer novices.
Chu Yin and Liu Minghe were also very happy. Meeting Xu Wen in the secret realm made them feel that their relationship with Xu Wen was different from others.
Unknowingly, Xu Wen has changed from a dispensable existence to the center of many people, and everyone is self-affirmed because of their association with him.
After exchanging pleasantries, others were suspicious but inconvenient to ask more questions. However, Liu Minghe had no such taboos and found an opportunity to ask:
"Junior Brother Xu, what are you..."
"I am favored by my mentor Li Xiuning, and I have already worshiped him in his name!"
Naturally, there is no need to hide this kind of thing, Xu Wen said immediately and openly.
His voice was not deliberately lowered, Zhang Longxiang and others all heard it, and there was a burst of exclamation from all around.
There is envy, there is jealousy, there is disbelief...
At this moment, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Xu Wen.
Liu Minghe and others were naturally envious mixed with admiration. They knew Xu Wen's abilities and had saved them from danger many times.
Although it is inevitable that there will be some sour feelings in my heart, asking myself why such a good thing happened to me, but overall I am happy for him.
The eyes of Zhang Longxiang and others were much more complicated.
Although they are more polite to Xu Wen and others, in their hearts, they still have a psychological advantage over Xu Wen and other casual cultivators.
But now, Xu Wen is on equal footing with them, and even has a higher status than them, but not everyone has a foundation-building master.
"Hahaha, Junior Brother Xu, good luck!"
The first one to react was Zhang Longxiang. Because of Zhang Longjiu, he had a natural affection for Xu Wen.
Coupled with the fight with Qiu Yunzhang before departure, Xu Wen and Xu Wen were naturally on the same front.
"I will ask Senior Brother Zhang for more advice in the future!"
Naturally, Xu Wen would not be arrogant and bowed his hands to him with a smile.
Birds of a feather flock together and people divide into groups. Deng Mengnu and others soon joined in, and the group started talking and laughing.
"I've met three martial uncles..."
At this time, Qiu Yunchang's voice sounded as he limped over from the forest.
After Li Xiuning left, he met the demon clan of the Four Sacred Mountains again. He was seriously injured after a fierce battle, and he only arrived now.
After scanning Zhang Longxiang and others, his face suddenly became very ugly.
This time he went out and brought four close people with him, but now only one person is left.
The ruins of Xishan have driven away all the living people and appeared here. The fate of those who have not appeared here yet can be imagined.
What made him even more unhappy was that this single seedling was obviously rejected by Zhang Longxiang and others, standing alone outside the team.
Seeing him appear, he immediately strode over, and the dissatisfaction on his face could be seen with the naked eye.
"What's going on? That boy..."
Seeing Xu Wen surrounded by everyone, he was even more shocked and angry. He had a bad feeling in his heart, and immediately asked in a low voice,
"What?"
Hearing that Xu Wen was accepted as a disciple by Li Xiuning, he couldn't help but scream.
Staring at Xu Wen, he clenched his fists tightly, the muscles on his face were twisting and shaking, and his red eyes were about to burst out of fire.
Everyone present thought he was going to have an attack on the spot, but unexpectedly, he suddenly started gasping for air.
The violent breathing sound was like thunder, as if there was a ferocious beast pregnant within his body.
After taking a dozen breaths in a row, his distorted expression suddenly calmed down. He waved his hand to signal the man not to say anything more, and the two of them stood behind Zhang Longjiu and the others without saying a word.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of Li Xiuning and others were a little deeper.
Zhang Longxiang and others exchanged glances, looking at Xu Wen with some profound meaning.
A biting dog never barks. Qiu Yunchang's performance made everyone's evaluation of him suddenly increase by three points.
Will he expose the matter and let Xu Wen go?
It's obviously impossible.
Not paying attention to the worried looks of everyone, Xu Wenlao Shen was at ease and not afraid at all.
With the Heaven's Eye Baoguang Technique by his side, he has always believed that time will always be on his side.
Qiu Yunchang could do nothing to him now, and he would be even more helpless to him in the future.
"Okay, everyone is here. The Xishan ruins will not be opened for the time being. Everyone returns to Qingfeng City first!"
Xiao Yuanshan greeted everyone, launched a two-story flying boat, loaded everyone in, and headed straight to Qingfeng City.
With the experience of being defeated by each one before, Zhiyuanmen will definitely not fly separately like before.
In the flying boat, the group of people were also clearly differentiated.
Not only did the Foundation Establishment cultivators live on the second floor, but Xu Wen and the others, the casual cultivators and the disciples of the Zhiyuan Sect were separated from each other. Only Xu Wen sat in the middle, where he could communicate with people on both sides.
Only Qiu Yunchang huddled in a corner, not talking to anyone, as if the others were nothing.
Soon they arrived at Qingfeng City. Xiao Yuanshan raised his hand and gave five middle-grade spiritual stones to everyone, Xu Wen was no exception.
Looking at Hai Coral and others, he said softly:
"When the Xishan ruins are stabilized, we will enter there again to explore. At that time, you will be recruited again, and it will be the last time!"
"During this period, you cannot leave Qingfeng City. Long Xiang, please record everyone's identity tokens!"
His words were simple and direct, leaving no room for negotiation.
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that this matter was not over yet.
But this experience also made everyone understand that this is inevitable. Even if there is no Zhiyuan Sect, other forces will keep a close eye on them.
