The middle-aged man jumped down from above, his long robe fluttering and his figure elegant, landing in front of everyone in the Seven Immortals Alliance.
"Fellow Daoist Li, we meet again."
The middle-aged man greeted Li Changqing with a smile.
Li Changqing calmly nodded to the middle-aged man and said:
"Mr. Fan, I didn't expect you to come too."
The person who came here at this time was none other than Fan Chengze, one of the two great Nascent Souls of the Fan family.
"Thunder is rolling in the sky in the middle of the night, and there are lightning and thunder. You can tell at a glance that it is the practitioners who are summoning the thunder. The noise is so loud, so you must come and take a look."
Fan Chengze laughed and said:
"Only after I came here did I realize that the Bloody Sect, which our Shencheng cultivation community has been unable to find for hundreds of years, is actually hidden under Lan Bun Mountain."
His eyes turned to the corpse of a middle-aged man on the ground, bleeding gurglingly, and he couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes.
"Is this the always mysterious Master of the Blood Fiend Sect? I didn't expect that his body would finally be found today under the hands of fellow Taoists from the Seven Immortals Alliance."
Then he raised his head and said with a rather sincere expression:
"The Seven Immortals Alliance is worthy of being the leader of Dahua's cultivation world. This attack is indeed extraordinary. In one fell swoop, it wiped out the Blood Evil Sect that had been poisoning Shen City for many years. The Shen City cultivation world and all the mortal citizens in this city must be grateful for your great kindness. .”
"Mr. Fan, you misunderstood. We did not destroy the Blood Demon Sect."
Li Changqing shook his head, shook the blood-stained paper swallow in his hand and said:
"He was the one who destroyed the Blood Demon Sect."
At this time, Fan Chengze finally noticed what Li Changqing was holding.
The next moment, Fan Chengze's smile froze on his face.
And after two or three seconds, all the smiles on this handsome and gentle middle-aged man's face turned into hatred, and he said through gritted teeth:
"It's actually him!"
"Why is it him again!"
Li Changqing naturally knew where Fan Chengze's hatred came from. After all, Fan Chengze's son died at the hands of that mysterious "Swallow".
It's just that Li Changqing and several other immortals thought that "Swallow" was a good kill.
So several people looked at each other and said nothing.
At this moment, everyone looked up as if aware.
I saw a burly mountain-like figure standing on the shore above the pond.
It was a man in his thirties, with a rough and majestic face, a light yellow complexion, and long yellow hair that was spread like a lion's mane.
When this man, who was as formidable as a mountain in terms of size and aura, arrived, no one noticed his arrival, including Li Changqing, who had a pure and clear sword heart.
But now everyone raised their heads in unison, just because this heroic man wanted to let them know his arrival.
Looking up at the heroic man, the five Nascent Souls standing at the bottom of the pond felt a sense of awe in their hearts at this moment.
This man's momentum and sense of oppression were a bit unbearable even to the powerful Nascent Soul.
The heroic man's eyes circled around the Bone Mountain, and his pupils were also light yellow.
He has yellow hair and yellow eyes, but this man would never be thought to be from the Western Continent, because his facial features are no different from those of the Chinese.
The heroic man looked at the corpse of the leader of the Blood Fiend Sect and scanned the arrow wounds on the corpse.
Then he looked at the four major immortals of the Seven Immortals Alliance standing next to the corpse, with some interest in their eyes.
Finally, his eyes fell on the blood-stained paper swallow in Li Changqing's hand, and stayed there for two or three seconds.
I couldn't see any change in the expression of this heroic man.
Then, the heroic man turned around and left.
It came quietly and left cleanly.
It seemed like he was just here to take a look.
"Who is this person?"
Mchisang covered his mouth and let out a soft sigh, with a look of shock still remaining in his eyes.
The man who was as tall as a mountain and as powerful as a lion just now was definitely a land god.
"Qingmei Society, Lion King Beichen."
Fan Chengze said something in such a low voice, as if he was afraid of being heard by the heroic man who had left.
The four great immortal species suddenly showed a look of surprise.
It turned out to be that one.
When they first arrived in Shencheng, the three ancestors of the alliance had already told them that they should pay special attention to and maintain appropriate respect for a few people in Shencheng. The Lion King Beichen just now was one of them.
Of course it is because the Lion King Beichen is a land god, but it seems that it is not only because of this reason, because the ancestors of the Fan family have never said that they should respect the land god.
The Lion King Beichen and his Qingmei Club are the most powerful cultivator force in Shencheng after the Seven Immortals Alliance and the Tantai Family. However, this cultivator force composed entirely of monsters has always been extremely low-key in their actions. There is almost no sense of existence in the city's spiritual world.
Unexpectedly, the Lion King was also attracted to the destruction of the Blood Demon Sect tonight.
But before the Lion King Beichen turned around and left, he suddenly turned his head and glanced towards the small lake outside the village, and nodded slightly.
On the bank of the small lake, two figures stood on a big tree facing the lake.
One of them was a woman wearing an old-fashioned navy blue gown. She seemed to be a little older, but her face was covered with a light mist, so her face could not be seen clearly.
If Shu Guan were here at this time, he would recognize that this figure is Lady No. 3 of the Esoteric Order.
As for the person standing next to her, there was a slender figure wearing a black robe. The hood on the figure's head was hanging down, and his appearance was also invisible. But when the Lion King Beichen in the distance nodded towards this side, This slender black figure seemed to be responding to the other party, and nodded slightly.
"I didn't expect him to be alarmed too!"
Under the black robe, a very clear male voice sounded. Just listening to the voice, I felt that this person was not too old.
"In any case, the destruction of the Blood Demon Sect tonight is a good thing and a major event in Shencheng's cultivation world. Even if Qingmei Society ignores the affairs of human cultivators, they still have to take a look."
Ms. No. 3, whose face was hidden in the mist, chuckled and said:
"After tonight, there are only seven second-level cultivator forces left in Shencheng."
"Well...I can't say that..."
The man in black robe shook his head and said:
"I can only say that the eight companies are still eight companies, but one of them has been changed."
"...No. 2, what do you mean, that 'Swallow'?"
Lady No. 3 understood immediately.
"good."
"But he seems to be alone."
"Who says one person can't be a member of a powerful force?"
A chuckle could also be heard from under the black robe.
"Besides, we can't be sure whether this 'Swallow' is a lone ranger."
"Do we have any information about this person's true identity?"
Then the man in black robe, whom Ms. No. 3 called No. 2, asked Ms. No. 3 this question.
"No."
Ms. No. 3 immediately shook her head and said.
"The only thing we know now is that the first time this 'Swallow' appeared in Shanghai was three months ago when four mortal teenagers died at his hands, including the son of Fan Chengze of the Fan family."
"Then he made two more attacks, one was the bloodbath of the Consulate of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun. Speaking of which, this was the second time that the Consulate of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun was bloodbathed. The style of the perpetrators was almost the same. To put it this way, it took four months. The first time the Consulate of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun was bloodbathed, I'm afraid it was also the work of this 'Swallow', but he didn't act as a 'Swallow' at the time... It's very possible that this person came to Shenzhou just four months ago. city, and then after staying in Shanghai for a period of time, he began to act as a 'Swallow'."
"And then tonight's attack came."
"Other than that, we don't have any information that can determine the true identity of this 'Swallow'."
"I remember that during our meeting, there seemed to be several pieces of information about the hiding place of the Blood Fiend Sect Master."
"Haha, what happened tonight is really interesting. A mysterious figure died, but an even more mysterious figure appeared."
The man in black robe said with a smile.
"In just a few months, first the four major immortals from the Seven Immortals Alliance came, and then such a mysterious 'Swallow' appeared. The practice world in Shencheng became more and more lively."
"Are we going to do our best to collect information on this 'Swallow'?"
asked Lady Three.
"Don't be too deliberate, it has nothing to do with us after all."
The man in black robe said casually.
At this time, the man in black robe seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked Ms. No. 3:
"We are meeting to find out if we have some information about the hiding place of the Blood Fiend Sect Master."
"Yes, there is such a bit of information, but it is a pity now because it is of no use anymore."
Lady No. 3 sighed with regret.
Indeed, now that the leader of the Blood Fiend Sect is dead, it is naturally impossible to sell the information about his identity.
"Is that information accurate?"
The man in black robe asked again.
Ms. No. 3 did not answer the question immediately. She seemed to be recalling it. After about half a minute, she replied in a rather strange tone:
"None of them are really useful. If you go based on that information, you will never find them in this village."
"Where did all that intelligence information come from?"
"They were all sold by some members at trade fairs. The information was provided intermittently by different members over the past decades, and then I sorted it out and preserved it. Unexpectedly, none of it was true."
"...Haha, interesting..."
After hearing this, the man in black robe laughed again.
"Is there anything wrong?"
Lady No. 3 asked suspiciously.
"It's just an idea that suddenly popped up just now. Originally, I didn't know what kind of person the Blood Fiend Sect Master was, and I somewhat admired him for being able to hide under the search of the entire Shencheng cultivation community for so many years. , and he pops up from time to time to cause trouble, but no one can do anything to him, which is quite a remarkable thing."
"But he was killed so easily today, which makes me very disappointed. He doesn't look like a powerful person, so why has he been hiding in Shencheng for so many years?"
"And the village where they are hiding is not a secret place that is difficult to find. Although it is hidden in the city, in such a place, no matter how well they hide it, if they have not been discovered for hundreds of years, I still think I really don’t believe it.”
"So No. 2, what do you mean?"
"What I mean is...it looks like someone is helping them no matter how you look at it. During the encirclement and suppression battle a hundred years ago, the Seven Immortals Alliance summoned the city's practitioners from Shen City. The leader of the Blood Fiend Sect was only a Nascent Soul. He was How did you escape the roundup?"
"If he could get out of such a desperate situation by his own ability, then he would never be killed so easily today!"
"I'm afraid he was able to escape because someone helped him!"
"Then who is helping these remnants of the Bloody Sect?"
There was a lot of surprise in Ms. No. 3's voice.
She had no doubts about No. 2's judgment, because No. 2 was originally the brains of their secret order, and his judgments on many matters over the years had almost never been wrong.
However, No. 2 did not answer her question this time, and just laughed "haha" twice.
This number 2 seems to like to laugh with "hehe".
At this moment, several more powerful auras quickly approached the ruins.
"More and more people are coming."
"That's right. With such a big movement, everyone who is qualified to come will come and take a look!"
"Okay, let's go!"
The two figures standing on the branches quietly disappeared.
…
Under the pond, on the Bone Mountain, several figures fell one after another.
A total of four people came at this time.
An old man with a thin build and a slender appearance, wearing a long gown.
A short, fat middle-aged man with his entire body wrapped in a thick luxurious fur, who looked like a big wine jar from a distance.
One is a woman in her thirties who is wearing a blue cheongsam, has a graceful figure and extremely beautiful appearance.
There was also a big man wearing a short shirt and jacket, with a beard on his face and a rather ugly appearance.
These four people are all powerful Nascent Soul.
Li Changqing, Monk Huaiyue, Xi Chu, and Mu Chisang looked at each other.
They also didn't know any of the four newcomers, but they could roughly guess each other's identities.
Most of the Nascent Soul Realm experts who should be the second-level cultivators in Shencheng have arrived.
At this time, under this small pond, nine Nascent Soul powers stood impressively!
At this moment, the four major immortals of the Seven Immortals Alliance inevitably sighed in their hearts.
Shanghai is indeed the most special city in Dahua.
This is true in the mortal world.
The same is true in the spiritual world.
In Dahua today, there is no other city with so many practitioners living here, and no other city with so many powerful people above the Yuan Ying realm.
For example, in an important city in the hinterland of the Central Plains like Jingcheng, it is said that the Seven Immortals Alliance only has one Nascent Soul Master from the Tianyin Sect sitting there.
Even when the Great China Dynasty was still there, there were not so many powerful practitioners in Yanjing City, the capital of the Great China Dynasty.
No wonder the Seven Immortals Alliance has such a cautious attitude towards the Shencheng cultivation community.
With the strength of the Seven Immortals Alliance, it is naturally possible to suppress the Shencheng cultivation community, but if the two sides really conflict, even if the Seven Immortals Alliance wins a complete victory, it will still be the vitality of their Dahua cultivation community that will be damaged in the end. .
In this city, it can be said that in addition to the Seven Immortals Alliance, three or four out of ten of the elites in Dahua's cultivation world are here.
Therefore, the Seven Immortals Alliance exercised great restraint in not stationing any land gods in Shen City, just to tell the spiritual community in Shen City that they, the Seven Immortals Alliance, would never use their power to overwhelm others.
While the four immortals were looking at each other, Fan Chengze had already smiled and greeted the four of them.
"Master Zheng, Master He, Master Shentu, Master Hu, you are all here too."
"I've met Mr. Fan."
The four people also greeted Fan Chengze extremely politely.
After all, among the second-level cultivator forces, the Fan family ranks third in strength, and there is an ancestor of the land gods in the family.
"Come on, let me introduce you to you."
Fan Chengze was quite satisfied with the attitude of these four people towards him, and laughed loudly as he began to introduce Li Changqing and others.
"These are all fellow Taoists of the Seven Immortals Alliance. The Seven Immortals Alliance is worthy of being the leader of our Dahua cultivation world. You see, their disciples are young, but they are already in the Nascent Soul realm."
"This is Zheng Kunlun, the head of the Zheng family in Shencheng."
"This is the owner of Wangyou Villa. Why don't you get drunk?"
"This is Shen Tu Shuning, the owner of Baihua Building."
"This is Hu Boping, the master of Jingtao Pavilion."
So both sides also met each other under Fan Chengze's introduction.
As for the four new Nascent Soul powers, the four great immortals who have been in Shanghai for half a year have actually heard of their names, but they just met them today.
The Zheng family is a cultivator family like the Fan family, but compared to the Fan family, its strength is greatly inferior. Only the head of this family, Zheng Kunlun, is a powerful Nascent Soul, ranking seventh among the original second-level forces. .
Ranked sixth is Wangyou Villa. Wangyou Villa has two Nascent Soul masters. In addition to the owner who came here at this time, He Buzui, he also has a second owner who is also in the Yuanying realm.
Ranked fifth is the Baihua Tower. In addition to the owner Shentu Shuning, there are two "famous flowers" in the Baihua Tower, named Peony and Hanju respectively. They are also practitioners of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Ranked fourth is Jingtao Pavilion. There are also three Nascent Souls in Jingtao Pavilion, but the number of practitioners in Jingtao Pavilion is much more than that of Baihua Tower, so it surpasses Baihua Tower in terms of strength.
These four forces have already established themselves in Shanghai more than two hundred years ago, so their names have such ancient meanings.
At this point, together with Beichen, the Lion King of Qingmei Society who suddenly appeared just now, the second-level cultivator forces in Shencheng, except for Dajiangtang, which is more mysterious than the Blood Demon Sect, have all come to the bottom of this pond. .
"Sure enough, the mountain is full of blood! I didn't expect that he has been hiding under Lansun Mountain!"
Looking at the corpse lying among the bones, Zheng Kunlun, the head of the Zheng family, exclaimed with hatred.
"Master Zheng, have you seen this Blood Fiend Sect Master?"
Li Changqing saw that Zheng Kunlun's expression seemed to be entangled with the master of the Blood Fiend Sect, so he couldn't help but asked curiously.
"That's right, I personally fought with this beast during the siege of the Blood Demon Sect a hundred years ago. Originally..."
But before Zheng Kunlun finished speaking, he paused suddenly.
Because several more powerful auras came to the pond.
Everyone at the bottom of the pond looked up again.
