The two flying boats were only a few miles apart. The former is khaki, and the one behind is cyan. One behind the other, they are flying rapidly under the blue sky, like two sharp arrows shooting from a distance.
"Palace Master, which country's flying boat is this?" Someone looked at it curiously.
Huangfu frowned at Lansheng, and was a little confused for a moment. After a while, he answered:
"The khaki one is the Liang Kingdom, and the cyan one is the Zhao Kingdom."
"Are they... fighting?" someone asked again. Obviously this person also knew the relationship between Liang and Zhao very well.
Huangfu looked at it for a moment and shook his head: "No."
As he spoke, the khaki-colored ship had already arrived above Shenpo Mountain, but it had no intention of descending. Instead, it continued to move forward and jumped over everyone's heads.
After traveling a few miles, he suddenly stopped, drew a long arc in the sky, and turned around to head towards Shenpo Mountain.
"Hahahaha," a burst of wanton ridicule came from the blue boat: "Girl of the Liang family, you are going the wrong way!"
The khaki spaceship was now more than a hundred feet behind the cyan ship.
The laughter on the green boat continued: "Haha, Liang Dingling, are all the female cultivators from Liang Kingdom so brainless?"
"I'm sorry, your third brother Zhao arrived before you, just wait for me in the back, haha!"
It turned out that the two airships were actually competing with each other in the sky, vying for who could enter the dock first, so that the boats behind them could line up obediently, and gain momentum over the other.
At this time, I suddenly heard a loud shout: "Zhao, I heard that your treasure ship is invulnerable to water and fire. I'm here to try it!"
Following this shout, a strong man jumped out from the mountain, pushed forward with his hands, and a huge wave of fire swept towards the blue ship.
It is the representative of Qin Kingdom’s golden elixir.
The green ship suddenly shone brightly, and an aqua blue barrier appeared out of thin air, blocking the fire waves.
However, the speed of the ship also dropped sharply, and in an instant, it was left behind by the khaki ship.
"Brother Zhaowu, thank you for your help!" A woman's clear laughter came from the khaki boat.
Huangfu Lansheng's face darkened, and he didn't care about his lack of cultivation. He yelled loudly: "Master Zhaowu, all countries have agreed that magic is not allowed on Shenpo Mountain. Are you trying to break the rules?"
The man named Qin Zhaowu glanced at him, but did not refute. He said with a smile: "I heard that Zhao State is good at refining weapons. Don't you want to test the defense of the spacecraft they refined? If it is good, I, Qin The country is willing to buy ten of them and run them around the Red Strait, haha!"
The red strait he mentioned was the narrow Mediterranean Sea between Qin and Zhao.
"Bah!" The man on the green boat shouted angrily: "How can you, the Qin State, buy the utensils of my Zhao State if you want? Call me grandpa three times, and I will sell you one at a discount."
Qin Zhaowu chuckled, as if an adult doesn't remember the faults of a villain: "Zhao Shuangying, business is business, what's the point of arguing with words. Look at your state of mind, you will be golden in this life."
"You..." Zhao Shuangying was furious. But at this time, the two ships were getting closer and closer to Shenpo Mountain. He chased them for a long time, and he was determined to keep going forward.
The two ships refused to give way and were about to hit the mountain!
"Start the formation—" a sharp female voice sounded, it was Tan Mingzhen.
There was such a commotion outside, there was no way she could stay out of it.
Following her order, a transparent light curtain suddenly lit up on Shenpo Mountain, covering the hillside and even the dock and other places.
This was set up by someone from the Talisman Array Academy a few days ago. It was just a third-level formation, and it had no support from spiritual veins. With the strength of these two spaceships, if they wanted to break in by force, it would only take a quarter of an hour or two.
However, no one would do that, otherwise it would be too disrespectful to the host.
For a time, both ships were isolated from the formation and had to stay suspended, waiting for arrangements on the mountain.
"The green boat is ahead, enter the dock and berth first." Tan Mingzhen ordered without hesitation.
"Yes!" A person flashed out of the blue boat, holding a green token, concentrating his magic power, and waving it back and forth.
This is the receptionist of Yunxiao Sect, and the token in his hand is the identity certificate for entering the Shenpo Mountain.
"Wait a minute!" Qin Zhaowu stepped forward and shouted: "Obviously the ships from Liang are in front, and it is Liang who goes in first when they want to enter the dock. Is there any reason to catch up from behind?"
Tan Mingzhen sneered: "If it weren't for Your Majesty's obstruction, Zhao's ships would have already entered the harbor. Why, Master Zhaowu, does he think this is the Qin State, and you can do whatever you want?"
Facing Qin, the Yunxiao Sect's old enemy, she naturally couldn't give in.
Qin Zhaowu immediately retorted: "When we were in the sky just now, the Liang Kingdom's spaceship was clearly in the lead. If your Yunxiao Sect's guide hadn't led the way indiscriminately and made them go astray, how could they have fallen behind?"
He didn't say this out of nowhere. At that time, the Yunxiao Sect guide on board Liang Guo's spaceship saw the fierce fight between the two ships and wanted to help the allies, so he pretended to be slow to react and let Liang Guo go through an unjust journey.
"You don't investigate the faults of your own personnel, but instead make mistakes and suppress countries arbitrarily. Is this the way your Yunxiao Sect treats guests?"
Qin Zhaowu deliberately made things worse and caused embarrassment to the Yunxiao Sect, and then shouted loudly:
"The negotiation hasn't even started yet, but you, the Yunxiao Sect, are so indifferent and favor one over the other. I see, there is no need to engage in this negotiation!"
After finishing speaking, he called to the representative of the demon clan who was watching the excitement: "Master Cang Wei, why don't you and I go to Qin State, and we two brothers can have a good chat."
Cang Wei shook his head and laughed happily. He didn't agree or disagree, but his feet didn't move.
Tan Mingzhen was anxious and angry. She came to participate in the negotiations on behalf of the sect this time. If someone disrupted the situation before it started, even if the reason was not hers, she would be laughed at.
Her forehead felt hot, and she turned around to look at Huangfu Lansheng, and asked angrily: "Who is the guide on the Liang Guo flying boat? Tell him to come over!"
The guides on the spaceship are all sent by Chongyun Palace.
Huangfu Lansheng was furious and thought, why is your ancestor so stupid? Even if the guide deliberately led the wrong way, can you admit such a thing? Isn’t that just telling people the truth?
He deliberately ignored it, but it was just a question from a real person. He had to answer, so he had to reply: "I am reporting to the Master of the Palace. The disciple has just seen clearly that the Liang Guo Feizhou is too fast and cannot turn in time. It has nothing to do with the disciples of my palace." .”
After saying that, he looked up at Tan Mingzhen, his eyes flashing.
As the master of the Demon Suppressing Hall, Fairy Tan was not completely confused. She had just been squeezed out and lost her position. Now that he reminded her like this, she suddenly woke up.
He was even more angry in his heart, and his words were no longer polite:
"Master Zhaowu, if you don't want to participate in the negotiations, just say so. Why bother stirring up trouble? Master Cang Wei——"
She looked at the demon king and her tone became stronger:
"If you dare to leave, you will be responsible for the consequences!"
Cang Wei had not planned to leave at first, but after being threatened by her, he suddenly lost his composure. In addition, his ancestor had given instructions before coming here to discuss matters with the people of Qin, so his face darkened and his robe sleeves flicked:
"I don't understand the consequences. I only know that your Yunxiao Sect wants to drive me away!"
He is not stupid. Even if he wants to leave, this shit basin must be held on the head of Yunxiao Sect.
During this argument, Fu Gongya, who had been watching the excitement for a long time, couldn't help but say:
"Everyone, please listen to what I say. It is not easy for all the countries in the Eastern Region to gather together this time. Why should we all compete for a moment? Why don't we all give in and don't hurt the harmony."
"Hahaha, what Mr. Fu said is absolutely true," Qin Zhaowu said with a smile: "In Mr. Fu's opinion, who of the two ships should enter and register first?"
"This..." Fu Gongya was suddenly speechless. If he opens his mouth to let someone in first, wouldn't he offend the other family?
Liang and Zhao were both adjacent to Ju, so he could not afford to offend anyone.
Qin Zhaowu sneered, his eyes squinting at Tan Mingzhen. He wanted to see how to deal with this woman.
Tan Mingzhen had no idea at this time. If she insists that Zhao Guo take the lead, Qin Zhaowu will definitely unite with the demon clan to oppose; if she lets Liang Guo take the lead, she will offend her allies and the sect will laugh at her.
After hesitating for a moment, just as she was about to give the order regardless, she heard a clear man's voice coming from afar:
"Fellow Taoists, it's so lively!"
A huge crimson flying boat is slowly approaching here.
That is the flying boat of Zhou State. In the jade world, purple is the most noble. In the entire Eastern Region, the only country whose flying boats were specifically painted purple as a mark was Zhou.
The flying boat seemed to be slow but was actually fast. After a few breaths, it came closer. The flying boats of Zhao and Liang both avoided it one after another and made way for a passage.
The light curtain of Shenpo Mountain's protective formation also went out at the same time.
Obviously, if the Zhou ships entered first, no one would have any objection.
However, Zhou Guo's spaceship was not in a hurry to enter the mountain. It only listened to the clear voice on the ship and asked curiously:
"Fellow Daoist Liang and Fellow Daoist Zhao, you two are waiting at the door and don't go in. What's the reason?"
"Fellow Taoist Qiankun——" Tan Mingzhen shouted loudly: "Can we get out of the boat and talk for a while?"
"Oh, our host this time turns out to be Miss Mingzhen!" Amid laughter, a young man wearing a purple and gold embroidered robe stepped out of the cabin.
I saw that he had long eyebrows, his eyes were like cold stars, his face was smooth, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he looked as handsome as jade, and he looked extraordinary.
"I've met Senior Brother Qiankun." Tan Mingzhen saluted and moved his lips slightly, narrating what happened here through voice transmission.
Ji Qiankun suddenly understood, with a smile on his face, and he came up with a solution in a flash of thought.
"Brother Shuangying," he laughed loudly: "I have recently obtained a treasure here. I wonder if I can ask you to come to my boat to help identify it? I also have good spiritual tea here. I would like to share it with you. Let’s drink together.”
The people of Zhao State are good at refining magic weapons. When they heard about the new treasures, Zhao Shuangying was already itching in his heart. Seeing that the other party spoke so politely, he didn't care about the order of things. He immediately jumped out of his own spaceship and boarded the Zhou Kingdom's spaceship.
Ji Qiankun stretched out his right hand, walked with his arm, and walked into the cabin together.
Since the ancestors stayed on other people's ships, the Zhao family's ships were no longer interested in rushing to the port. They were suspended in mid-air, allowing the Liang Guo spacecraft to enter and register first.
This dispute, which may sound small but related to the face of the two countries, disappeared without a trace under the skillful resolution of Zhou Guoji.
…
A quarter of an hour later, Liang Guo's ships were registered and the flying boats were put away. After a while, the ships of Zhou and Zhao also entered the port one after another to complete the necessary procedures.
Ji Qiankun and Zhao Shuangying flew out of the boat and floated in the air, whispering and laughing to each other from time to time.
It wasn't until both ships were put away that Ji Qiankun smiled and said, "Brother Shuangying, let's go and meet Miss Mingzhen together."
At this time, on Shenpo Mountain, disciples from Chongyun Palace and Zhenguo Palace of Yunxiao Sect lined up on both sides, forming a long queue to welcome the two great masters.
This is Tan Mingzhen's request.
On the one hand, Zhou Guo's status is respected, and Zhao Guo is her own ally, so she has to come out to receive him both emotionally and rationally. The second is to thank Ji Qiankun for helping her solve the problem just now. Thirdly, Ji Qiankun not only had friendship with her, she was also quite attracted to this man, so she naturally wanted to give him enough face at this time.
Huangfu Lansheng was very dissatisfied. In his opinion, Tan Mingzhen is the host. Since he is receiving guests, he should be impartial and receive them well. Even the Qin State should treat them equally. Otherwise, there should be no such grand ostentation.
However, he could only keep these words in his heart.
The two real people fell slowly from mid-air, their clothes fluttering, like immortals.
Yang Zhen was also in the team. She looked up and saw these two people. One was a suave man, and the other was a middle-aged man with regular features, but his eyes had a hint of evil aura, making him look a bit fierce.
Tan Mingzhen's smile was as bright as a flower, and Pinpin Tingting stepped forward to salute.
Then she took the lead and led the two of them across the middle of the two lines.
While walking, I also introduced several important subordinates, such as Huang Chenyin and others. As the master of Chongyun Palace, Huangfu Lansheng did not miss anything and also introduced her carefully.
Zhao Shuangying nodded slightly, with a hint of arrogance in his expression. Ji Qiankun nodded to everyone with a friendly attitude that made people feel like spring breeze.
Not long after, he walked up to Zhao Yue'er, Zixue, Yang Zhen and others.
It was almost at the end of the team at this time, and the remaining ones were all foundation-building monks. Tan Mingzhen no longer introduced them, but just led them slowly.
Suddenly, he saw Zhao Shuangying pause in his steps, with an ecstatic expression on his face.
His nostrils flared, his face seemed to be intoxicated, and he slowly came to Zixue.
"What a rich water spirit!" He was intoxicated, staring at Zixue with a pair of eagle eyes, with undisguised greed and desire on his face.
"What a strong aura of water spirit!" He sighed again, looking at Zixue's peerless appearance, his eyes flashed, and he finally made up his mind.
"Junior Sister Mingzhen," he cupped his hands and said, "How many years have you been trapped in the third level of the Golden Core?"
"It's half a century old." Tan Mingzhen looked gloomy.
The path of spiritual practice is like sailing against the current. The further you go, the more difficult it becomes. She has a single spiritual root of the earth element and has excellent qualifications. However, after breaking through to the golden elixir realm, she already feels weak in the follow-up. If she takes another step forward, it will be difficult to reach the sky.
Although she is still very young, her cultivation is all about working hard and making vigorous progress. Now, she has been blocked from reaching the middle stage of the golden elixir for thirty years. If she continues, she even doubts whether she still has the energy.
If not, it is not impossible that we will be stuck at this point in this lifetime.
When she heard Zhao Shuangying's question, her eyes lit up, and a glimmer of hope suddenly arose: "Senior Brother Zhao, what you mean is..."
