Seeing that Zhao Ning seemed to have a slight sigh on his face, Hong Jie and Ji Xiu looked at each other.
Ji Xiu asked hesitantly, "Zhao... Zhao Ning, you know."
Zhao Ning answered vaguely, "When I was in the Fallen Immortal Realm, I fought against those Fallen Immortals."
Ji Xiu and Hong Jie were stunned, and Ji Xiu was even more angry, "Speaking of this, it must be the people from the mainland who threw these extremely evil people here."
Hong Jie hesitated and said, "No wonder the memory of the ancestors of the Pan family was so..."
After a brief silence, Zhao Ning asked again, "Did they say how they contacted the Biyou Cave Sky of the outside world?"
"He doesn't know. He is just a small person, and he just came to check on Kunxu's follow-up situation. He doesn't know too many things."
Hong Jie said, "Now that we know such a thing, if we just do nothing..."
This was the fundamental reason why they came to Zhao Ning for discussion. How could they remain indifferent when the fate of the entire Jiuzhou was involved.
But what ability do they have to investigate and stop it.
Ji Xiu said, "Since Zhuzhou still sent these red-robed men to Kunxu, it means that they still won't let it go. I even suspect that the recent chaos in Yangzhou and the undercurrent in Yanzhou are also I was influenced by them.”
Hearing them talk about Yangzhou and Yanzhou, he also thought about what Jiang Bo and Xiang Hongxuan had mentioned about the two states.
Hong Jie said, "But our Qingxiao Sect has only just resumed its sect. It has been recuperating for twenty years. We have just started the order to recruit immortals. We can't even take care of Kunxu. How can we take care of Yanzhou, Yangzhou and even Zhuzhou."
Ji Xiu then said, "I'm afraid, these people really messed up Yanzhou and Yangzhou, and then spread to Kunxu. There was Kunxu demon chaos before, and there will really be a second and third one in Yanzhou and Yangzhou. Can the three senior brothers bear the cause and effect of all the chaos?"
This is the reason for their hesitation. Their lips are dead and their teeth are cold, but they are powerless.
"This is easy to handle." Zhao Ning suddenly said, "This matter is indeed not something we can interfere with if we want to, but if it is Tiangong, Tiangong is superior to the entire Kyushu."
Hong Jie and Ji Xiu looked at each other, and Hong Jie said, "We have also thought about this, but Tiangong has never been involved in Kyushu's affairs."
Zhao Ning raised her hand to stop him, "This matter involves sects outside Jiuzhou, and is not an internal matter within Jiuzhou."
Hong Jie hesitated for a long time and then said, "Then I will offer sacrifices to heaven immediately and invite the heavenly palace to come."
Qingxiao Sect, as the leader of the four former Kunxu sects, naturally has methods to contact the Tiangong.
"Um."
Zhao Ning responded, and she could directly contact Tiangong. Tiangong once said that as long as Zhao Ning's thoughts moved, Tiangong would definitely come.
But Zhao Ning didn't want to contact Tiangong. When he left Kunxu that day, he was forcibly taken away from consciousness by the Golden Crow above Tiangong. Zhao Ning still had lingering fears.
She knew that if Jinwu was not restricted by the Heavenly Palace and had to hide it from other people in the Heavenly Palace, he would not be able to use his magic power. Such an appearance would probably have destroyed the power that Jinwu had accumulated over the years.
Zhao Ning could tell at a glance that the strength of the crossbow was at its end.
Zhao Ning was not involved in what happened next. She stood at the door of Qingxiao Hall, looking at the new Qingxiao Sect. Thinking about the situation in Kyushu before, she felt that some things were being pushed forward urgently. Now Kyushu There is no way to resist Jiuzhou.
Zhao Ning sighed in her heart. She walked on the path of Qing Xiao Sect. Every mountain and forest in Qing Xiao Sect seemed to have returned to its former appearance. Until Zhao Ning reached the top of the cloud top where the Qing Xiao Sect's Immortal Recruiting Order was, she Looking down at the disciples who were excited and eager to enter Qingxiao Sect, she seemed to see herself back then.
The Qingxiao Sect's recruitment order this time was the first large-scale recruitment of disciples since the Kunxu Rebellion. Over the past twenty years, Hong Jie and others had gradually put everything in the Qingxiao Sect on the right track.
What Zhao Ning saw at this moment was a sign of improvement.
The Immortal Recruitment Order was presided over by Ai Bai, and most matters were left to the disciples to handle. Perhaps after the chaos, Hong Jie and others were a little worried about the Spiritual Root Avenue. This time, there were no restrictions on the Spiritual Root Avenue. All those who come to participate in the Qingxiao Sect's Immortal Recruitment Order must pass a character test, and then decide whether to recruit based on the test results. Spiritual roots are no longer the fundamental choice for Qingxiao Sect's recruitment.
This is probably the only sect in Kunxu that abandons the Spiritual Root Avenue. Although it is not understood by many sects, it is welcomed by more people from outside.
The spiritual roots required by the Spiritual Root Avenue are too narrow. It's not like the ancient path test. Maybe you can enter directly.
They still hold on to the ideas they had before the Kunxu Rebellion, and seem to think that the xinxing test is just a simple routine. As long as they know the routine, they can enter the Qingxiao Sect. When the time comes, they can switch to the spiritual root path and practice the spiritual root avenue at their fingertips.
But at this moment, everyone's excited faces seemed not to notice that the test of character is the most difficult test. Every word or deed in the trial may lead to the failure of the test of character.
This Qingxiao Sect's Immortal Recruiting Order inherited the xinxing test from Zhao Ning's Immortal Recruiting Order, and it was tested that it was true.
Seeing the sudden changes in the expressions of many cultivators in the middle of the trial, Zhao Ning knew that there was a high chance that they would miss the Qingxiao Sect.
Zhao Ning watched for a while, and at this moment, a voice beside her said in surprise, "Senior Sister Shen, you are back!"
Listening to the voice, Zhao Ning knew it was Shi Lei. In twenty years, Shi Lei had also advanced to the golden elixir realm and was now in the early stage of the golden elixir.
Seeing Zhao Ning turn her eyes to look at him, he immediately bowed and saluted, "I have met Senior Sister Shen. When Kun Xu received Senior Sister Shen's emergency rescue, Tinglan and I didn't have the chance to express our gratitude to Senior Sister Shen."
"No need, we are all from the same sect." Zhao Ning said lightly, seeing that there was no one next to him, "Where is Ting Lan?"
Shi Lei said, "Ting Lan accepted the mission and went to Yangzhou."
Zhao Ning teased with some interest, "Yangzhou Guanlai is a good dual cultivator, why did you let Tinglan go alone?"
Shi Lei was stunned for a moment and hesitated for a while, "It turns out that Yangzhou is like this... No way, Ting Lan is already a golden elixir, and ordinary people can't influence her."
Although he said this, his expression seemed to pause slightly.
Zhao Ning couldn't help but tease him, so she only responded lightly.
Looking at the Immortal Recruitment Order below, one person finally reached the last cloud platform. Suddenly, he was very happy and very sad, and his body was swaying on it. I don't know if he could be stable in this period of great joy and great sadness.
She turned to look at Shi Lei, "By the way, do you know what happened in Yanzhou these years?"
Shi Lei was not familiar with Yangzhou, but he knew Yanzhou well.
He asked, "Senior Sister Shen is talking about the Purple Flame Sect?"
"Yeah." Zhao Ning nodded.
Shi Lei then said, "I heard that the Purple Flame Sect has provoked an incredible lunatic recently. That lunatic has reached the peak of his golden elixir in less than a hundred years, and has created a fake baby."
Zhao Ning knew that he was talking about Xiang Hongxuan.
Just listen to Shi Lei continue to say, "Senior Sister Shen should know that this Ziyan Sect is used to recruiting high-grade golden elixir masters. This lunatic has become famous in Yanzhou for his strength in recent years. He uses a sword to enter the Tao, and every sword is extremely powerful." Kuai Jili, although he lost in the Bianzhou Sword Fighting Conference, it did not affect his later fame in Bianzhou, and almost all the sect's sword masters accepted his challenge."
"I don't know why, but after I returned to Yanzhou, I was recruited by people from the Purple Flame Sect to get close to the sect. There is a rumor that there must be something unique about the Purple Flame Sect to attract so many top-grade Jindan real people to flock to it."
When Shi Lei said this, he hesitated slightly and moved a little closer to Zhao Ning.
"Senior Sister Shen, I don't know what the secrets of the Purple Flame Sect are, but I know that the Purple Flame Sect is by no means a kind sect. I heard that some high-grade Jindan real people were directly arrested and suppressed. , dissatisfied with the control of Ziyan Sect, tried to escape several times, but failed. Later, there was no news. Then it came out that someone from Ziyan Sect had achieved high-grade golden elixir. Almost all the real people of high-grade golden elixir who were captured died. ”
Zhao Ning turned her eyes slightly and looked at him.
Shi Lei lowered his voice and said, "Yes, this Purple Flame Sect used some secret forbidden technique to transfer the high-grade golden elixir that captured the real person to the disciples trained by their sect, thus achieving the high-grade golden elixir in one fell swoop."
If these words can be said from Shi Lei's mouth, it is already a certainty. As for how much Yanran told him, it is unknown.
Zhao Ning asked again, "Is that the lunatic you mentioned at the beginning because of this?"
"I thought it was like this before. Later, I heard that it was not just like this, but that the madman's parents died because of this. So he deliberately went deep into it to investigate until he found out the truth."
"I heard that their family died miserably. His father turned out to be the head of the Xiang family in Hongyangu, Yanzhou. By chance, he obtained a high-grade golden elixir. Later, he entered the Ziyan Sect. However, due to some incompatibility, he was transferred to the Ziyan Sect as the leader of the entire clan. Compared with the lives of others, it seemed to be a compromise in the end, but decades later, the Xiang family in Hongyan Valley was still wiped out. I heard that it was a person who looked exactly like the head of the Xiang family."
"Since then, the Purple Flame Sect has begun to capture the high-grade golden elixir master." Shi Lei said, "So, I suspect that the madman's father was the original secret method test subject of the Purple Flame Sect."
"Purple Flame Sect..." Zhao Ning murmured these three words.
From the behavior of the Ziyan Sect over the years, Zhao Ning could guess that the Ziyan Sect should know some of the secrets of Jiuzhou, at least the situation in Shixu.
Thinking of his series of actions of searching for demon seeds, helping Haoyang to resurrect, and catching high-grade golden elixirs, all of them were actually preparations for the Time Ruins. Maybe he wanted to use these people to find the way to Jiuzhou in the Time Ruins. , so he calls himself righteous.
It was probably Zhao Ning's murmur that made Shi Lei misunderstand.
Shi Lei further explained, "Although the Purple Flame Sect says that doing this is evil, not everyone in the Purple Flame Sect supports this approach."
Zhao Ning knew that his explanation was actually to get Yan Ran and others out, and Zhao Ning was not the temperament of everyone in the sect because of one mistake.
She just replied calmly, "I know that the Purple Flame Sect is divided internally, and the leader of the Purple Flame Sect and the Venerable Yan Yue have formed their own factions."
I have seen Venerable Yanyue Zhao Ning. When Netherworld fought against the black dragon, she once appeared with Tiangong, but she only appeared in a hurry and left in a hurry. Even with the divine light surrounding her body, Zhao Ning could not do anything about it. Know her whole picture.
Shi Lei smiled and bowed, "Senior Sister Shen is wise, that's exactly what happened. I believe that Venerable Yanyue will definitely handle the internal affairs of the Purple Flame Sect."
This matter, Your Majesty, has not been dealt with properly for fifty years. Sometimes it is just a matter of smooth sailing.
"I'm coming, I...I'm really coming."
At this time, I heard a person on the Zhaoxian Cloud Platform below looking at the people of the Qingxiao Sect in front of him. He was in a trance. The corner of his mouth twitched excitedly for a long time before he said a word.
It's that contradictory emotion of being excited but not daring to be excited.
He was the first person to pass the test of character today. It was no longer Zhao Ning. He started to see the person standing on the last cloud platform. He was only one step away, but he could already be overtaken by someone from behind. The original person seemed to still be in the same place. .
This is probably the uncertainty of xinxing trials.
Shi Lei saluted Zhao Ning, and then appeared on the cloud platform. He stood next to Ai Bai, and as the representative of Qingxiao Sect, he congratulated the first person.
Just listen to Ai Bai say, "Xie Teng, the root and bones are of the highest quality, the mind is of the highest quality, the understanding is of the highest quality, and the immortality is of the highest quality."
Shi Lei said, "You are the first to pass the test of character. According to the rules of this recruitment order, you can directly enter the outer gate of Qingxiao Sect."
Xie Teng finally burst out his suppressed emotions, crying and laughing, but he also did not forget to bow to the seniors of Qingxiao Sect in front of him to express his gratitude.
Ai Bai nodded in approval, the details show the heart.
He handed the discipleship order to Jie Teng, "No need to thank me, we will be members of the same sect from now on."
"Okay... okay..." Xie Teng said tremblingly.
Before they had time to say anything, they saw thunder in the sky, and the entire Qingxiao Sect was shaken. Ai Bai and others looked up in shock, and Zhao Ning raised her eyes.
Heavenly Palace is coming.
"Tiangong! Why did Tiangong come to Qingxiao Sect at this time!"
There were other people taking the test on the Zhaoxian Cloud Platform. When Tiangong appeared, everyone looked up and even the movements of testing the disciples stopped.
"Is it possible that there is someone stunning among us who has attracted the attention of Tiangong and wants to personally request someone from the Qingxiao Sect? Haha."
Some people were thinking wildly, but were immediately interrupted.
"It cannot be said that the Qingxiao Sect has created another high-grade golden elixir. A few years ago, the Qingxiao Sect had two high-grade golden elixirs, which attracted the Heavenly Palace to come. Maybe the Tiangong lives above the Qingxiao Sect."
"After the Qingxiao Sect was restored, it turned out to be so powerful and able to cultivate so many high-grade golden elixirs? Then I may have to give it a try on this Immortal Recruitment Token."
"Why, what else do you have in mind?"
"It's not like Ji Jian Sect is opening a mountain gate to recruit disciples. If you can't do it here, you can still go to Ji Jian Sect. I want to see Elder Lin of Ji Jian Sect who kills demons with his sword. I admire him to the extreme."
"Me too, I just don't know if Elder Lin has come back. I heard that she and the ancestor of the Qingxiao Sect, Qin, stayed together and flew together. Maybe they have given birth to a baby now."
Zhao Ningben paid attention to the shadow above the Tiangong, but he didn't want to hear a word that was full of questions.
She lowered her eyes and turned to the speaker. The two of them were gossiping. It was obvious that the topic of gossip was too exciting. Although it was far from reality, more people were willing to gossip.
Only one person said, "I heard that Lin Ying and Patriarch Qin had known each other a hundred years ago. They were childhood sweethearts. Later, their fate went sideways. One of them went to Kunxu and the other to Bianzhou. But I didn't expect that after so many years, they would meet each other. If there is a reunion, the heart that was full of spring will burn like firewood, otherwise it would not be possible. At the Qingxiao Sect's restoration ceremony, the Qin ancestors were questioned by the entire Kunxu, but only Elder Lin showed up. Caress each other?"
