|||->->An ordinary mountain range among the Hundred Thousand Mountains, in a hidden cave at the foot of the mountain. Zhang Xiyan opened her eyes and let out a long breath.
After the accident in the Zhongnan Mountains, the unicorn shadow rushed into her body. She took advantage of the chaos to leave the mountains and passed through many obstacles before escaping into the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The Kirin Phantom was so powerful that his own consciousness was controlled. Fortunately, after several battles, the energy was consumed a lot.
After arriving at Shiwanda Mountain, she gained a little bit of initiative. He immediately hid himself and tried his best to refine the energy in Qilin's shadow. This stay lasted for several years.
As the refining process deepened, Zhang Xiyan's cultivation also gradually increased. In just a few years, he rose from the early stage of divine transformation to the early stage of integration. But after reaching the integration stage, she felt that her refining progress had slowed down, and she had only increased a little in half a year.
"My understanding of the way of heaven seems to have reached a critical point. I can't improve it again in a short time even if I keep refining it behind closed doors. It's time to go out and experience it. With the current combat power, I am still unable to defeat the Shangjiang family. I need more training. Strong strength.”
"On the Canglan Continent, the southern region is the one we are most familiar with. Why not go there and have a look. I don't know how Brother Cheng and the others are doing, and whether Sister Jingwen's cultivation has recovered."
After talking to himself, he tidied up for a moment and prepared to leave.
As soon as he walked out of the cave, he saw a monk standing there quietly outside. He was dressed in white clothes and had a spotless appearance. His heart was beating fast when he looked at the other person's face. He had never seen such a beautiful man before.
Her consciousness swept over and she couldn't clearly see the other person's cultivation level at all. He was shocked and asked: "Senior, why are you guarding outside my cave?"
Xie Feng looked at her deeply, and sure enough he felt the breath of Qilin's essence fire on her body. After a moment of silence, he said: "Your name is Zhang Xiyan, do you know Cheng Ling?"
Zhang Xiyan was delighted and said, "Senior, is he a friend of Brother Cheng?"
"Yes, I want to sense the unicorn shadow on your body."
Zhang Xiyan was startled, looking at him with some fear, and wanted to escape immediately, but was frightened by the powerful momentum of the evil wind and did not dare to move at all. He asked in a trembling voice: "Senior, what do you want to do?"
Xie Feng smiled slightly, put away his aura and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
Zhang Xiyan relaxed a little, thinking that since she was Brother Cheng's friend, it shouldn't be detrimental to her, so she said, "Then come on!"
Xie Feng nodded slightly, stretched out a finger, and gently touched her forehead. In less than a moment, a green unicorn shadow appeared above Zhang Xiyan's head. The shadow was very blurry, and seemed to be connected to her soul.
Xie Feng's expression changed, he retracted his finger, and the shadow returned to Zhang Xiyan's body. He was silent for a long time and asked, "Girl, are you willing to come with me to see Cheng Ling?"
Zhang Xiyan said happily: "Really, I haven't seen Sister Jingwen for a long time. It's time to go and have a look. Senior, please take me there!"
Xie Feng smiled bitterly in his heart, but did not say anything. He grabbed Zhang Xiyan's arm and flew towards the direction of Wuxiang Valley.
.......
News of the Ouyang family's three major sects requesting help finally reached the family. Ouyang Xiong summoned the elders of his family to gather in the meeting hall. Before the seats were full, he shouted angrily: "What's going on? You didn't say that the people of that mysterious force fled to the south, why did they appear in the coastal area again?
Who can give me an explanation! "
Over the past few years, the Ouyang family has been troubled by this mysterious force. Not only has it had a great impact on the resource circulation in the southern region, many of the mines and sites previously controlled have to be relocated to the family to take over.
What's even more irritating is that that force seems to have disappeared from the south. Tens of thousands of family monks have launched a blanket search in the south, but there is no trace. Just as he was planning to step up the investigation, he received news that mysterious forces appeared on the eastern coast.
Originally, the family had not taken this power seriously and only regarded it as an ordinary bandit. Who would have thought that in a very short period of time, the Liu family, the Xiao family, the Cheng family, and even the branch Ouyang family would be wiped out, and a huge amount of resources would be missing.
You must know that these families contribute a large amount of cultivation resources to the Ouyang Family every year. The sudden lack of so many resources has even affected the cultivation of the monks in the family. Now, the tentacles of this power have extended to the three major sects, which is simply unforgivable.
Ouyang Xiong himself knew his family's affairs, and his family's foundation was the weakest among the nine major powers. Not only that, but there is also a congenital flaw, that is, there are too few monks in the southern region. Just relying on family members and unattached monks cannot improve the overall strength of the family.
Another point is the threat from Feng Yanzong. Compared with the other directions, although the family power is generally not as good as the sect power, they can still compromise with each other. Unlike Feng Yan Sect, the area they occupy is inaccessible at all, and they often have to face provocations from Feng Yan Sect disciples.
If he hadn't joined forces with Zonglianheng and worked hard to make friends with the Duanmu Family and Donghai Dragon Palace, he would have been overwhelmed by Fengyan Sect.
Ouyang Xiong lost his temper over there, and all the elders were also angry. Ouyang Lin said: "Master, that mysterious power is not simple. At that time, all four of us tried our best to block it, but all of them escaped, especially the last monk with swordsmanship. It is extremely exquisite, I even suspect that it is the long-lost sword-controlling method!"
"Sword-controlling? In the Wuxiang Sword Sect, when we fought against Cheng Ling, it seemed that we also had the skills to control swords. Is that person Cheng Ling?"
"If this is the case, it would be really bad. There was a woman beside Cheng Ling back then. Her cultivation level was extremely terrifying, and even King Jiao didn't get any benefit from her."
Ouyang Tian pondered for a while and then interjected: "Master, based on what the fourth elder said, I feel that the monk should be Cheng Ling!"
Ouyang Lin sneered and said: "Baby, outside of the Alchemy King Valley, his cultivation was only at the peak of the late Tribulation period. Do you think I am the same as you and can't even catch him?"
Ouyang Tian froze and was speechless.
Ouyang Lin added: "Master, I think it is unlikely that it is Cheng Ling."
"Why?"
"Since the annihilation of the Wuxiang Sword Sect, most of the disciples have disappeared without a trace and must have been hiding. But think about it, head of the family, it is a long way from the Wuxiang Sword Sect to the south, and with so many monks acting together, the other major families would have already I just received the news, how come there is no news?"
"What's more, both Cheng Ling and the woman were seriously injured by King Jiao back then, so they would definitely find a place to hide. And according to the information we got, that mysterious force existed more than ten years ago and has been harassing several major figures. power."
Ouyang Xiong was silent for a moment and asked, "Then tell me where these people come from?"
"The greatest
It can still be the remnants of the Famous Sword Academy, plus the strength of some loose cultivators in the south. When they attacked the Famous Sword Academy, the southern forces put in a lot of effort, so they came to take revenge. "
The elders looked at each other and basically agreed with this view. The most important thing was the issue of time. They didn't know that Jian Yinghao had been active in the south for a long time, and Cheng Ling only came to the south in recent years.
The most important thing is that no one can think of the existence of the teleportation array, and the disciples of the Wuxiang Sword Sect can't find any trace at all.
Ouyang Xiong said: "In that case, we can be regarded as the remnants of the Famous Sword Academy. What do you think about the request for help from the Sword Sect?"
Ouyang Po said: "Master, we still need to respond to the requests for help from these three sects. The southern area is too big. Four families disappeared overnight, and most of the remaining monks are missing. If these three sects are even If they are all destroyed, the family’s interests will be greatly harmed!”
"Besides, without these three sects, there will definitely be a new southern force rising. Then the south will be in chaos. Without a slightly stronger force to suppress it, the family will have to spend energy to regain control, so why waste efforts!"
All the elders echoed and agreed with his point of view.
Ouyang Xiong said: "One more thing, the Zhou family has risen very quickly recently, accounting for almost 70% of the transaction volume in Xiangcheng. This situation is a bit abnormal!"
Ouyang Shan said: "This matter is indeed a bit strange. A few months ago, I sent someone to contact the Zhou family, but Zhou Changtian rejected it. According to the transaction information of the Xiangcheng store, the Zhou family not only received a great improvement in talismans, but also Even the Alchemy Dao, the Instrument Dao, and the Formation Dao occupy a large share."
Ouyang Xiong said bitterly: "Ouyang Yi really succeeds more than fails. With the support of our family, he still can't completely squeeze the Zhou family out of the south. Even if he dies! The head of this family plans to contact the Zhou family again to find out who they are. The specific strength, who among you is willing to go."
Ouyang Tian felt a hint of bitterness in his heart, and immediately stood up and said, "Master, let me do this!"
His cultivation level is the lowest among the elders. When he intercepted Cheng Ling, he was escaped by the other party. As a result, his status in the family was greatly reduced.
Another point was that he did not agree with Ouyang Po's speculation. He had come into contact with the monks from the Famous Sword Academy. Although their cultivation was not inferior to Cheng Ling's, they were much more difficult to deal with. But the other elders believed that Cheng Ling did not dare to come to the south easily because he was alone.
He had a vague feeling that Cheng Ling must be present in this power. It was impossible to capture Cheng Ling back then. After so many years, I heard that there was an extremely powerful woman beside him. It was even more difficult to capture her.
Since people in the family don't believe in their own judgment, it's better to get away from the body and stay away from right and wrong. It shouldn't take so much energy to just deal with one Zhou family.
Ouyang Xiong nodded in agreement and asked, "Which of you is willing to go to support the three sects?"
Ouyang Lin and Ouyang Shan said: "Don't worry, head of the family, let us handle this matter!"
"Okay, I'd like to trouble you two, and send some monks from the south to go there. We must find a way to find out and eliminate that force completely. The south can't be in chaos anymore. If Feng Yan Sect is involved, the family will be in trouble."
Everyone agreed in unison, and the action to support the three major sects was decided!
