The sword control technique was activated, and he flew towards the direction of the sword pavilion with lightning speed. This time he left, he did not tell the Zhou family. He had told them as early as a month ago that they needed to stay dormant during this period and their strength had not improved significantly. They must not leave the clan easily.
With the formation protection arranged by himself, ordinary monks cannot break it. It will take at least more than a year for him to turn around. By then, the Zhou family should have made great progress.
After flying for a whole month, the Jiange area was revealed before our eyes. He slowly landed on the ground, found the exit, and walked in in a flash.
The stone forest formation that was originally outside became more powerful, which must have been improved by Xuan Zhenzi and others. As soon as he entered it, the disciples in the sword pavilion felt it. Xuan Zhenzi sensed something was wrong first and quickly sent a message to Xuan Wuxiang and Liu Qingyan.
Xuan Wuxiang, as the acting head of the Wuxiang Sword Sect, was responsible for all matters when Cheng Ling was away. Liu Qingyan was the first Supreme Elder of the sect, so the news had to be passed on.
Everyone was shocked. The location of the Jiange was very secret. Since it was moved here, no outsiders had ever broken into the formation. Now that the formation hall is warning, could it be that people from the nine major forces have come to kill them?
For a time, the high-level officials of the sect came out of seclusion one after another and gathered in the main hall. But it didn't take long for their expressions to change. The warning sounds kept ringing. The other party broke in so fast that even the Stone Forest Sword Formation couldn't withstand it for a long time.
Liu Qingyan pondered for a while, seemed to think of something, and said, "Don't worry, everyone, Cheng Ling should be back!"
Everyone was startled and hurriedly realized that the formations in the sword pavilion were of high quality. Even if ordinary monks broke into them, they would not be able to pass through them quickly. Only Cheng Ling, with his formation cultivation, broke into the stone forest as if for fun.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Cheng Ling's figure to appear in front of everyone. As soon as he landed, he looked up and saw Liu Qingyan, Xie Feng, Xuan Wuxiang, Xiao Changtian, Xi Yan, Zhang Hu, Song Yingjie and others standing outside the hall, waiting for him.
He smiled slightly and said, "I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but how come you all know that I'm coming back?"
Liu Qingyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "I didn't send a message first when I came back. I almost thought it was an invasion by a foreign enemy, and I made a big mistake."
Cheng Ling laughed, stretched out his arms lightly, and hugged Liu Qingyan and Xi Yan. The joy of seeing each other after a long separation completely dispelled all fatigue. He gently patted the tender cheeks of the two women and said, "Just in time, everyone is here, let's go into the hall to talk."
Everyone was overjoyed and surrounded him and walked towards the hall.
Entering the hall, everyone takes their seats. Cheng Ling scanned it with his spiritual consciousness and nodded with satisfaction. Over the past few years, everyone's cultivation has made great progress.
Liu Qingyan and Xie Feng have reached the late stage of transcending tribulation;
Wu Chenlong, Xiyan, and Zhang Hu have reached the early stage of transcending the tribulation;
Xuan Wuxiang and Song Yingjie reached the perfect combination;
Xiao Changtian's late stage of integration;
Song Hanyu and Xuan Zhenzi are in the middle and early stages of integration respectively;
Ye Feng, the master of the Sword Hall, Wei Chen, the master of the Fa Hall, Fu Jian, the master of the Fu Hall, and four other students have all reached the late stage of distraction.
After Liu Qingyan's introduction, the other four new faces were Song Yinghao, the master of Wu Hall, He Shuying, the master of Dan Hall, Wang Huairen, the master of Qi Hall, and Xia Zhentian, the master of Zhen Hall. The Tangkou, which was originally headed by Song Hanyu, Xiyan, Zhang Hu, and Xuan Zhenzi, all had different heads.
Cheng Ling nodded slowly and asked, "Everyone is very good. I wonder where you are now?"
Kind of grade? "
"Sect Master, I am a late seventh-grade alchemy master!"
"Sect Master, I am the late sixth-grade peak Talisman Dao master!"
"Sect Master, I am the seventh-grade initial weapon master!"
"Sect Master, I am the late seventh-grade peak formation master!"
When the four of them heard Cheng Ling's question, they all stood up and answered loudly. Only Fu Jian is a little embarrassed. Cheng Ling has great hopes for Fu Tang. Resources have been tilted towards them. Unfortunately, Fu Dao inheritance is limited. In more than ten years, it has only reached the peak of the late sixth grade. Compared with the other three halls, it lags behind. A lot.
Cheng Ling smiled slightly and said to Fu Jian: "Don't worry, I will take you to the south in a while. By then, your understanding of Fu Dao will be greatly enhanced, and you will catch up!"
Fu Jian was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Yes, thank you very much, Master!"
"Okay!" Cheng Ling nodded in agreement, paused for a moment, glanced around everyone, and then said: "How is the situation in the sect recently? Your Majesty Xuan, please tell us about it!"
Xuanwu responded and said: "Since moving to Jiange, everyone has been hiding in the sect and rarely going out. Only the Demon Blood Continent has maintained its trade route to the outside world. There will be secret exchanges every six months to ensure that the sect development within.”
"There are nearly one million disciples. Although the sword pavilion is large, it seems a bit crowded. There is also a large area occupied by sword spirits. The sect monks cannot enter it. It can be maintained in a short time. If it lasts too long, I'm afraid Something unexpected happened!"
Cheng Ling nodded silently. The monks would become impatient after being locked up in one place for a long time. If Xuan Wuxiang and others hadn't suppressed them strongly, many disciples would be unable to bear the loneliness. This time he returned to the sect. Very timely.
As for the area occupied by the sword spirits, now is not the time to use them. Those sword spirits can be used as trial objects for the sect disciples. Moreover, he saw back then that there were more than tens of millions of sword spirits. It was so easy to annihilate them all. It seemed that The land of Jiange also needs to be expanded on a large scale.
Putting these things aside for the time being, he continued to ask: "How are the cultivation levels of the disciples of the sect?"
Xuan Wuxiang replied readily: "In the past few decades, the sect leader has been continuously replenishing resources for the sect, and the disciples have advanced rapidly. There are thousands of monks above the distraction level, tens of thousands of monks above the transformation level, and the rest are A monk under the Nascent Soul.”
Cheng Ling nodded with satisfaction. Such strength was no weaker than any of the seven major forces in the south. He then said: "This time I return to the sect, there are several important things to be done. We can discuss it."
Everyone froze and sat upright, all eyes focused on his face, ready to listen.
Cheng Ling said: "The first thing is that the sect area needs to be expanded. Please take charge of this, Taishang Xiao. Uncle Xuan and I will set up a mountain protection formation around it. By then, all the disciples' residences and secret cultivation realms will have Xiao." Your Majesty is responsible for the distribution."
"The second thing is that I have been staying in the southern area before. I need some disciples to go there. I want to completely wipe out the seven major forces in the south and the Ouyang family! As for the number of disciples, I don't need too many. They can go there in turn, but the transformation of gods There’s no need to go after the term is over.”
Xuan Wuxiang was startled and asked: "Sect Master, it is a long way from Jiange to the south. If we act together, the target will be too big, and it will be bad if we are discovered by the nine major forces."
Cheng Ling smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. The third thing I said is to set up a long-distance teleportation array in the sword pavilion. I have already set it up in the south. As long as
After the teleportation array here is set up, you can go there in batches without anyone noticing! "
Everyone was shocked, teleportation array? Only in ancient times have I heard of monks being able to set it up. I didn't expect Cheng Ling to be able to do it. What level has his formation level reached?
Xuan Zhenzi was even more excited. When Cheng Ling returned from the Demon Blood Continent, his formation level reached the eighth level. He benefited a lot from setting up the Wuxiang Sword Sect's mountain-protecting formation. His formation level increased rapidly, reaching the early stage of the eighth level. , now a large sword pavilion formation has been set up, coupled with the teleportation formation, it is impossible not to improve after several formations.
At this time, everyone in the hall was very excited. With this, the monks in the sect could finally go out to have some fun, so as not to be locked in the sword pavilion all the time. Although the spiritual energy inside was rich and there were sword spirits as opponents to assist in their cultivation, But if it goes on for a long time, not to mention ordinary disciples, even they will feel stuffy.
Cheng Ling took in all their expressions and smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that it would be difficult for them to stay behind closed doors for a few years. It's just that it's not yet time to show up. The Wuxiang Sword Sect is still very immature and far behind the nine major forces. The battle in the southern region is a good opportunity for training.
After a few important things were discussed, everyone chatted noisily for a while to comfort their longing for each other, and then they dispersed one by one.
Cheng Ling left Wu Chenlong and Liu Qingyan behind and asked, "Chenlong, how are the disciples in the war hall doing now?"
The War Hall was a special hall established in the Wuxiang Sword Sect back then. It has been practicing secretly in the Sword Pavilion. As the main force of the sect's battles in the future, it will enjoy the best resources and training techniques. It is led by Wu Chenlong alone. Knowing The only people in this situation were Xuan Wuxiang and Liu Qingyan.
Wu Chenlong replied readily: "Boss, the situation in the war hall is very good. Now there are more than a hundred people above the integration stage. Not only that, their skills are almost the same. Plus the sword formation you taught, it is definitely A force to be reckoned with.”
"This trip to the south, I have to lead them to take action. If they stay here any longer, their bones will get rusty."
Cheng Ling said angrily: "You think the southern monks are that easy to deal with. I won't be willing to dispatch them easily unless I train them to the extreme."
Wu Chenlong said aggrievedly: "Boss, if you don't take me like this, you won't take me with you to Yujing City. Later, I didn't have a share in the sect war. Now you are going to the south to sweep up, and you still don't want to take me to play with you. I won't do it! You see Xiao Huzi and Xi Yan's cultivation has caught up with mine, so we must go this time!"
Liu Qingyan burst out laughing, and Cheng Ling felt a headache. It was really amazing that this kid was so old and still looked like a scoundrel. Well, I originally planned to let the people in the war hall sharpen the sword, but seeing his pitiful appearance, I reluctantly agreed.
Wu Chenlong cheered and ran out of the hall without any explanation to share the news with the disciples of the war hall.
Cheng Ling shook his head and smiled bitterly. After he left, he turned to look at Liu Qingyan, gently held her hand and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work during this time."
Liu Qingyan smiled, leaned her head on his shoulder, and said, "It's not hard, but you have been wandering outside and have suffered a lot. Where is the fairy? Why didn't she come back with you?"
Cheng Ling felt a pain in her heart, knowing that she was asking about Yun Jingwen, and said sadly: "She has ascended back to the fairy world. I don't know when we will see each other again." After that, he told her everything that happened before.
Liu Qingyan looked at his expression and comforted her: "Don't worry, since she said she would wait for you, we will definitely see you again!"
