The people around who were waiting for the arrival of the ancestor of the Zhou family immediately started talking about it as soon as they heard the news of the large-scale invasion by the demon cultivators from the East China Sea:
"The chaos caused by the demon tribe in the East China Sea is nothing new. Almost every month, reports of quelling the chaos along the coast are sent to the capital."
"Well, it stands to reason that the East China Sea has been war-torn for years, and there are small groups of demon cultivators escaping, which are not worth mentioning at all. They have to be repelled by the coastal monks. But this time is different from the past. The demon tribes in the East China Sea invaded in large numbers, and even the whole country was shocked. The city lord attaches so much importance to it that he even summoned the ancestors of the nine immortal sects, which shows that the scale of the invasion of the demon clan in the East China Sea is far greater than any previous years!"
"It is rumored that the great city lord went to Wushan to worship. He wanted to obtain the will of the temples before making arrangements to defend against the enemy."
"Hey, no matter what, this is another great opportunity for our monks to gain experience!"
Ye Ling listened quietly. Although he didn't know who the great city lord of the Wu Kingdom was, since he could summon the Yuanying Ancestor from the nine immortal sects, his cultivation itself was at least a Yuanying monk!
"Looking at the Wu Kingdom, there are no less than a few hundred Golden Core cultivators, but the Yuanying old monster seems to only have the big city lord and the ancestors of the nine immortal sects. There are ten people in total, who are in charge of the power of life and death in the entire Wu Kingdom's immortal world! But from what they said, the big city lords all want to Go to the holy mountain of the Kingdom of Wu and worship in the temples of Wu Mountain before you can make a decision on how to defend against the enemy. Could it be that the ancient gods enshrined in the temples have surpassed the Nascent Soul stage?"
Ye Ling was fascinated. He had seen the names of Wushan Mountain and various temples in the ancient books of Tiandan Xianmen Sutra Pavilion, but they were only mentioned in fragments, as if they were very mysterious. Now among the monks in the west of the city, some people seemed to know more about the temples in Wushan, so Ye Ling asked for advice again.
"Fellow Taoist, are you not from Wudu? Legend has it that the holy mountain Wushan is at the end of the sky and shrouded in fairy mist all year round. Foundation-building monks like you and me have no chance to climb the holy mountain in this life! Even the golden elixir monks have never heard of it. Has anyone ever set foot on Mount Wu?"
"The temples in Wu Mountain are the altars of the world of immortality in this country! God bless our country! The reason our monks can practice peacefully in the Kingdom of Wu is because of the existence of these temples!"
Ye Ling nodded silently, and when asked further, they waved their hands and shook their heads and said they didn't know. After all, no one had been there, it was just legends passed down from ancient times.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and the entire Xifang City was almost boiling!
"Master Ancestor! It's Master Ancestor who is back! Quick, hurry up and greet him!"
Seeing that the western sky was obscured by billowing yellow dust, the monks in the major chambers of commerce and shops in Chengxifang City did not dare to neglect. They set up incense burners and tables and rushed to the street one by one, for fear that the ancestor of the Zhou family would not be able to see them. figure.
Not to mention the children of the Zhou family's great cultivator family who came out of the Zhou family compound. Under the leadership of their elders, they looked at the yellow dust in the west and worshiped, shouting to welcome the ancestor!
Ye Ling, Hongtang and Qingwan were swayed by the enthusiastic crowd. Seeing them all looking respectful and worshiping, Ye Ling couldn't help but shook his head and sighed secretly.
"Just an ancestor of the Dixuan Immortal Sect and the founder of the Zhou Immortal Cultivation Family has made these people worship them fervently. If he went to the temples in Wushan, wouldn't he be so excited that he died? It's a shame, it's a shame, the world of Immortality Cultivation It is true that the strong are respected, but in my opinion, strong men like Zhou Tong'an, the ancestor of the Zhou family, are nothing more than this!"
Ye Ling secretly thought, standing in the crowd and watching with cold eyes, he saw the billowing yellow dust falling from the western sky, revealing a guard of honor composed of hundreds of Earth Xuan Immortal Sect monks!
During the ceremony, hundreds of monks were dressed in uniform yellow clothes. They were just different shades of color between the Golden Pill and Foundation-Building monks. Some of them were holding canopies, and some were holding earth-crystal yellow flags, and they were shouting on the west street of the capital. It was the first time in Ye Ling's life to see such a grand march and such a scene.
Under the canopy, an old man in apricot-yellow robes sat steadily, enjoying the welcome and worship of everyone. He was the founder of the Zhou Cultivation Family, Zhou Tongan!
Hongtang looked at it and sighed: "It's amazing to show off such a grand style when you come back to the whole city!"
Qingwan could not help but nod in agreement. Only Ye Ling looked at Zhou Tongan from a distance and saw that although this man looked a little old, his appearance was somewhat similar to that of Zhou Yuan, as if he was similar to Zhou Mingde and Zhou Ming. Hui also has some shadow of him.
"Yes! This ancestor of the Zhou family must be the grandfather of Zhou Mingde and Zhou Minghui, and the brother of old monster Zhou Yuan! That guy Zhou Chong doesn't look much like him, so he must be his distant nephew."
Ye Ling determined Zhou Tongan's seniority in the clan. Although he is an ancestor, he can be called the ancestor! It seems that for many generations of the Zhou family, only Zhou Tong'an has the highest cultivation level and the strongest strength. Even if there are people in the clan who are higher than him, they can still be called by the ancestors.
Just as Ye Ling was thinking to himself, among the ceremonial guards of the ancestor of the Zhou family, a black-faced man like an iron tower holding a yellow flag attracted his attention.
"Wei Tong? He's here too!"
When Ye Ling saw Wei Tong, an old friend who was once the second disciple of Yun Cang Sect in Fengqiao Town, he couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart. He immediately disappeared from the crowd and left quietly.
Hongtang and Qingwan were enjoying watching the excitement, but when they turned around and saw their master, they hurriedly relied on the connection of their soul imprints to separate into groups and follow their master.
"Master! Why don't you watch for a while longer?"
Ye Ling said calmly: "I want to return to Yun Inn to make alchemy. You urge Yu Ming and Xiao Tao to provide me with a large number of fifth to seventh level spiritual herbs! In addition, send the guys from Huixing Pavilion to the west of the city to find out the news. Keep an eye on this person by the way. Once there is news that is unfavorable to me, you cannot send me a transmission note directly, but report it to you, and you will come to the inn to report it in person."
Ye Ling printed a portrait of Wei Tong on the jade slip and handed it to the two girls. Hongtang and Qingwan nodded in agreement.
Ye Ling then returned to the Guiyun Inn in Dongmo Lane, where he continued to retreat and concentrate on refining elixirs.
