Tang Jinglong's cultivation is qualified to lead a large camp, but as he is new to the Red Eye Army, his promotion path cannot be so fast.
Tang Jinglong was satisfied, the ghost world was more suitable for his cultivation, and the basic goal was achieved.
…
Three months ago.
Xue Tongfan returned to Chongxumen like a flower and dusty.
Bypassing the prohibition warnings along the way, test the level of protection.
Xue Tong flicked his fingers, and a white light shot towards a black stone in the grass.
The black stone is hollowed out and contains a small amount of gunpowder, wrapped in a ball of soft silk. Dozens of silk threads extend outward and are buried in shallow soil. When pressed, they vibrate and detonate the gunpowder.
The white light fired by Xue Tong instantly cut off the silk thread, the vibration was so small that the gunpowder in the stone could not be felt at all.
"Brother, how did you know that the inconspicuous black stone is an early warning device?"
"The device is fully charged with mana and spirit stone powder. Although the breath fluctuation is small, it cannot be concealed from Xue's induction."
"Normally I don't walk so carefully. I can detect it if I just feel it deliberately."
…
Xiaolianfeng's yard is quite tidy, presumably because it is cleaned regularly.
The doors of the two training rooms next to the main cave are closed.
Xue Tong took the initiative to trigger the alert.
The Houtian warrior guarding the courtyard opened the door and said, "Two seniors!"
"Who arranged the protection in this area?" Xue Tong asked.
"Sincere Elder"
"Go and report quickly!"
Soon, Xue Tong saw Zhong Xianmou.
After being away for many years, Zhong Xianmou's appearance remains as good as before, "I didn't expect it to be Senior Xue or Taoist Fan. Zhong thought it was a false alarm."
After exchanging a few words of greetings, Zhong Xianmou said: "Senior has returned to the sect, and our sect can rest easy from now on."
"Oh, why worry? What big things have happened in recent years?"
"The Taoist priest has been away for a long time, Hanyue and other sects have become increasingly restless, and small frictions have continued. In a few years, conflicts will inevitably escalate. Now that the Taoist leader has returned to the mountain, and his cultivation has greatly increased, those people will stay away from them."
Xue Tong was no longer interested in these, "Has anyone approached Xue in the past few years?"
Zhong Xianmou shook his head, "Some people only asked about it during the Blood Sacrifice Festival, but they only asked in general terms, and it was not really about anything."
"Invite Bao Xing and Yu Wencheng to come." Xue Tong said.
…
Xue Tong tells about his experience in the ghost world.
After careful consideration, he believed that spreading the news would do more good than harm.
"Ghost World!"
"The red-eyed ghost is Gong Yangye in the Heavenly Realm. Taoist Master Xue fought with him. He even killed the state leader at the top of the Grand Master before." After hearing this, Yu Wencheng was shocked for a long time and said.
"Well, the battle between the Red Eyes Tribe and the Toluo Tribe will only be won or lost in a few years. If the Red Eyes win, invasion of the human race will be inevitable, so we need to be prepared."
"The Valley Road is 80,000 miles away from the Crystal Dragon, so the ghost clan will not have to travel long distances to Wuyou Peak. Xue Mou believes that every few years, he will send his disciples to Yunxi to inquire."
Xue Tong does not plan to leave Chongxumen and retaining the Xiaolian Peak stronghold may be the best way to contact Chongguang Wanyu monks.
"Think first and arrange for disciples to go to Yunxi as soon as possible. They will be replaced every five years." Bao Xing said
In the Xuanmen of Xinyuan Continent, everyone from Xiantian on down is called a disciple.
Bao Xing paused and then said: "The success of Chongxu Sect is closely related to the influence of the Taoist Master and the techniques he donated."
"The Taoist priest doesn't like the excitement and has never preached. Now that I have returned from traveling in the ghost world, please agree to Bao and hold a special celebration to entertain the people of the Chongxu sect."
Yuwen Cheng and Zhong Xianmou immediately agreed.
"It's not a celebration, the title of celebration is inappropriate."
"Call it the Chongxu Martial Arts Meeting, an impromptu Xuanmen event." Xue Tong thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, we will hold a big event in three months. The disciples will compete. The prizes will be doubled than before. A small number of Xuanmen will also be invited to participate." Bao Xing rubbed his hands and said happily.
…
"What does the martial arts meet that senior brother hopes to look like?"
After Fan Ruhua finished practicing, she sat down with Xue Tong in the courtyard and asked.
"The disciples were enthusiastic and the competition was fierce but there were no vicious incidents; the atmosphere among the leaders of each sect was friendly," Xue Tong said.
"One of the reasons for holding a martial arts meeting at Chongxumen is that you have returned from traveling in the ghost world. It seems plain but very tempting. Brother Jinglong has never been to the ghost world. This will arouse the interest of many people." Fan Ruhua said.
"So what, Xue will attract people's attention from now on"
"Xue thought that it would be better for the world to know about the two realms of ghosts and demons. Even if many people secretly covet it, it will make more people retreat and not dare to cause trouble easily." Xue Tong said.
March flies by.
The Chongxu Martial Arts Association invited six other sects to participate, among which the Jinding Sect of the Daxuan Sect and the Hanyue Sect, who were secretly competing with each other in the Chongxu Sect, attracted the most attention.
Jindingzong Yi Huan led the team. When Xue Tong first arrived at Jinglong, he had a draw with him.
Yi Huan didn't care much about the competition between his disciples, but seemed more concerned about Xue Tong's growth in martial arts.
The members of the Hanyue Sect were very observant of their appearance, rarely spoke, and participated in the competition hastily, mainly inquiring about information.
The arrival of the Weishan Sect was the truly unexpected moment.
Most Jinglong monks believe that the Xuanmen in the Weishan Sect is the strongest.
"Taoist Master Xue went to the ghost world to hold a martial arts competition. Why didn't he invite the Weishan Sect?"
Deputy Sect Leader Ling Daoliangzhuan asked as his boat landed.
The words were quite polite and left room for leeway.
"I don't dare to disturb the noble sect. I invited the Jinding sect because Elder Yi and Daoist Xue know each other." Bao Xing explained.
"Where is Mr. Xue Daochang?"
"In Xiaolian Peak, there is a specially arranged trade fair tonight, hosted by him."
"Oh, then Ling Mou can see his face."
The day before the martial arts meeting, nearly a hundred monks were present at the Chongxumen Trading Fair, not only to trade spiritual objects, but also to have Xue Tong show up to greet them.
Xue Tong arrived at the scene in a low-key manner, simply announcing the rules and never mentioning anything about the ghost world.
Xue Tong sold four ghost and demon magic weapons.
The magic weapon is of high quality and the asking price is not high, only 70% of the price of human magic weapon.
The trade fair is in order and everything goes smoothly.
It will be half time.
Ling Daoliang winked at his fellow disciples.
A brawl quickly broke out on the field.
Grandmaster Chunshan intervened and interfered with other monks.
Xue Tong frowned, it was obvious that the Chuanshan Sect had a problem.
"Deputy Sect Master Ling, can you restrain your subordinates and abide by the rules of the transaction?" Xue Tong approached and said.
"Since we don't have the money and we don't have the goods yet, the monks from my sect bid higher, so it's not a violation." Ling Daoliang argued.
Ling Daoliang went to Chongxu Sect and was entrusted by the sect. The Chunshan Sect heard that Xue Tong had fought against ghost cultivators in the heavenly realm and sent him to investigate. Although he left some room for action, it was very uncomfortable.
"You cannot interfere with a transaction that has been negotiated by others. It takes a short time to count the spiritual stones and inspect the spiritual objects. Taking advantage of this opportunity to forcefully raise the price is a violation. Today's trading rules are decided by Xue."
"The Weishan Sect has objections. Taoist Master Xue will not use the same method used to deal with the ghost clan against our sect."
Ling Daoliang made a pun with profound meaning.
The voice startled many people.
Fan Ruhua pretended not to hear and continued to buy elixirs and wolf spider food.
The Chongxu Martial Arts Association aims to expand its influence and is not a new enemy. Xue Tong has a bad impression of the Weishan Sect, but it is not to the extent of teaching him a lesson. He said patiently: "I came to Wuyou Peak all because of this." For the sake of the sect’s face, can Deputy Sect Leader Ling order his subordinates to find other spiritual objects for the sake of Chongxu Sect?”
"It is inconvenient for me to force you to do something as trivial as shopping." Ling Daoliang made excuses.
"Then Xue, as the host, will expel him."
Xue Tong suddenly raised his voice an octave and pointed at the martial artist of the Weishan Sect, "Leave the trading hall immediately and don't cause any more trouble. Those who are disobedient in the ghost world have never survived three moves under my command!"
Xue Tong's threat is also full of puns, which is thought-provoking.
"The Taoist Master said this, which means that the Chuanshan Sect does not need to take it seriously," Ling Daoliang said in a cold voice with a dark face.
"Taoist Master Ling, Xue has given the Weishan Sect enough face!"
Xue Tong Chijin glared, "Now that the matter has come to this, it is no longer a matter of petty quarrels. We rushed to the Xu Sect to invite the sects we are usually close to for a gathering, but the Chushan Sect showed up uninvited and insisted on provocation."
"It can be seen that Deputy Sect Leader Ling is very unconvinced, and Xue wants to ask for advice!"
"When things are calm and smooth, disputes will naturally cease to exist."
When Xue Tong said this, his expression returned to normal.
The monks on the field whispered to each other.
"Yes, in the final analysis, the Weishan Sect just doesn't believe it. Bibi knows that."
"If you lose, you won't become enemies."
"It depends on the specific situation."
"You believe it?"
Ling Daoliang stroked his beard and said, "Ling came here not to fight. Master Xue is eager to maintain order, so we will give Chongxumen a face."
"Let's go!" Ling Daoliang said loudly.
Xue Tong was furious!
The Weishan sect left after the incident, and the things behind the controversy are still unresolved. Shouldn't it be postponed until next time?
"Deputy Sect Leader Ling can cause trouble whenever he wants, and leave whenever he wants. What do you think Xue is?"
"No one in the Weishan Sect can leave unless we apologize!"
Xue Tong's face turned pale and he said angrily.
Most of the monks on the field stopped trading.
Bao Xing and Yu Wencheng didn't know how to persuade them.
Ling Daoliang ignored it and led people out of the trading hall.
Xue Tong jumped out of the hall door.
"According to God's will, it is better to hit the sun in the future. If you dare to cause trouble, you will get it done in one fell swoop!"
Xue Tong made up his mind and turned the bracelet.
The sound of wind and thunder roared, nine swords surrounded the head, and a cloud of colorful swords expanded rapidly.
The sword cloud is dense and the nine swords are invisible.
There was a sizzling sound in the clouds, and golden runes kept popping out.
The Nine Palaces Sword Formation is majestic.
Ling Daoliang felt bad, and the situation was showing signs of getting out of control, so he "rushed to the Xumen and prepared to take action."
"It has nothing to do with Chongxu. Xue will definitely take action. In the moment of life and death, you must apologize and get out of here!"
Xue Tong's murderous aura suddenly released, carrying a strong demonic aura.
The onlookers felt cold in their hearts, and those with low cultivation levels shivered.
This time it was Ling Daoliang's turn to be in trouble.
There were five people traveling with him, three masters and two innates, who seemed to be no match for Huge Jianyun.
The so-called apology meant lowering one's posture and bowing and apologizing in front of everyone. As the deputy sect leader of Weishan, he would never do that.
But Xue Tong had already put the knife on his neck.
Ling Daoliang hesitated.
"Don't kill anyone, otherwise Xiaolian Peak won't be able to stay and Chongxu Gate will be destroyed." Xue Tong received a message from Fan Ruhua.
"Oh, there's no need to make such a fuss."
Bao Xing squeezed out of the crowd and smoothed things over.
"I apologize, Master Xue Daochang does not remember the faults of villains." The warrior who caused trouble earlier bowed and apologized.
Xue Tong's expression softened, and his murderous aura slowly gathered.
The consequences of killing five people would be to destroy the Chongxu Sect together. Fan Ruhua's message at the last moment suppressed his overwhelming murderous intention.
"You guys should go quickly. From now on, you can go your own way and don't disturb each other anymore." Fan Ruhua waved her hand.
A life was almost lost, but not all was lost. Xue Tong's powerful sword cloud killed nine out of ten doubters.
