After Zhao Jiudou took charge of the Zhao family, he made big moves as soon as he made a move.
The Zhao family's old enemy, the Li family's ancestral land was invaded by a sand monster, and the Li family was destroyed.
The Zhao family jumped out to take advantage of the situation, intimidating the remaining monks of the Li family and extracting a lot of benefits from it.
Everything that was taken away from the Zhao family by the Li family was taken back one by one.
The disappearance of the remaining monks of the Li family was believed to be the secret work of Zhao Jiudou.
Zhao Jiudou's viciousness also made many people wary.
Now Zhao Jiudou's reputation in the Zhao family is at its peak, even surpassing the head of the family, Zhao Yanbei. Even if the head of the family, Zhao Yanbei, returns to the Zhao family at this time, he may not be able to do anything to him.
Except for those forces with foundation-building monks, the surrounding monk forces were unwilling to provoke him easily.
Taiyi Sect is an old enemy of the Zhao family. If the Zhao family were not busy extracting benefits from the Li family, I am afraid that Zhao Jiudou, who is in his prime, would have clashed with the Taiyi Sect.
Meng Zhang glanced at Zhao Jiudou, wary in his heart, but not too worried.
The head of the Zhao family, Zhao Yanbei, and many Zhao family monks in the late stage of Qi refining are still doing hard labor in Mingsha Mountain.
So what if Zhao Jiudou has perfected his Qi refining, Taiyi Sect also has a godly general named Houtu who has perfected his Qi refining.
When the Houtu God General was in his prime, he had the combat effectiveness of the Golden Core Stage. Even if his strength is far from restored, it is still not something Zhao Jiudou can deal with.
The Houtu God General was the most important trump card, and Meng Zhang did not want to use it easily, so the Zhao family monks continued to be arrogant.
Soon after Meng and Zhang sat cross-legged on the futon, visitors from various factions entered the square one after another and sat down in their seats.
Some monks sitting close to each other exchanged a few words from time to time. There were also some familiar monks who started to say hello from a distance.
The square was always bustling with people and bustling.
It wasn't until bursts of sweet fairy music sounded that the venue began to quiet down.
Several figures flew from a short distance away, accompanied by bursts of melodious fairy music, and slowly landed on the high platform.
With the appearance of these figures, the originally noisy square became audible.
One after another, admiring gazes were cast towards the high platform.
Whether it was true or false, everyone sitting below expressed their respect and fear for the foundation-building monk.
Among the several foundation-building monks, standing in the middle was an old man with white beard and hair.
"Xu Yishan, the sect of Linshan, I guess, I don't need to introduce myself to you. All the friends below should know me."
"Brother Ruan from the Golden Knife Sect next door, Taoist Priest Guanghong from Lin Quanguan, and Aunt Jin from the Qiaoshou Sect are all famous and prestigious figures, and I don't need to introduce them."
Having said this, Xu Yishan politely arched his hands downwards, and then waved to the person next to him.
"This time I want to introduce to you our sect's Junior Brother Lin Shenpo Lin."
"With the blessing of the Patriarch, Junior Brother Lin luckily succeeded in building the foundation and became one of us."
"This Dharma conference is held to celebrate Junior Brother Lin's successful foundation building, and to share some practice experience with everyone."
Following Xu Yishan's words, a middle-aged man with cold eyes and a cold face walked in front of Xu Yishan.
He cupped his fists and cupped his hands downwards, then retreated behind Xu Yishan. From beginning to end, there was no expression on his face. Even on the grand day of his family's foundation-building ceremony, he didn't even show a smile.
"Junior Brother Lin has such a character, please don't let anyone see him outside. Junior Brother Lin is usually an ascetic monk who devotes himself to self-cultivation and basically has no contact with outsiders."
Xu Yishan explained casually.
"Okay, I won't waste everyone's time by talking nonsense. Since everyone has come to participate in this Dharma conference, you must be looking forward to Junior Brother Lin's lecture."
While Xu Yishan was talking, two figures flew over from a distance.
"Brother Xu, we brothers were delayed on the way and came a step late. I'm really sorry."
The two figures flew very fast, and as soon as the words came through, they flew over the scene.
Seeing the two people appearing, the expressions of the several Foundation Stage monks on the high platform changed slightly. Even Lin Shenpo, who was always expressionless, raised his eyebrows.
"You two brothers are so polite. It's an honor for all of us in the Linshan Sect to have you here. Why do you say anything else?"
While talking, Xu Yishan flew in front of the two of them and was about to hold their hands.
"Brother Xu, you're welcome. Today is a happy day for your Linshan sect. We two brothers took the liberty of being an uninvited guest."
"These two brothers are distinguished guests that we can't even invite on weekdays. Today is a rare visit. You and I, brothers, must have a good get-together."
Xu Yishan is very enthusiastic.
"Yes, yes, with the presence of two masters from Shuangfenggu, the little Linshan Sect will flourish."
"Two brothers, we haven't seen each other for a long time, so we should stay here for a while today."
Several foundation-building monks on the high platform also took the initiative to show their kindness.
Only Lin Shenpo remained silent and just bowed his hands in salute to the two of them.
While exchanging pleasantries, the two visitors had landed on the high platform.
These two foundation-building monks are basically known to everyone present. They are Shan Hu, the new foreign affairs elder of Shuangfeng Valley, and Shan Ying, the law enforcement elder of Shuangfeng Valley.
"Taoist Master Guanghong from Linquan Temple is also here. He is really a rare visitor."
Shan Shanhu looked at Taoist Guanghong with a playful smile.
"Junior Brother Lin Shenpo is from the Lin family, and he and Lao Tao are also related. Junior Brother Lin's foundation building ceremony, Lao Dao will of course join in the fun."
Taoist Priest Guanghong looked calmly and looked at Shan Shanhu without any sign of weakness.
"I almost forgot that Brother Guanghong is also a descendant of the Lin family."
"As the saying goes, it's hard to recover when you overturn the water. Since Lin Shenpo's ancestors have left the Lin family, they have nothing to do with your Lin family. You, the Lin family, shouldn't struggle so hard."
After listening to Shan Shanhu's words, Taoist Guanghong lowered his eyes and did not argue with him.
"However, it is inevitable for Taoist Guang Hong to miss his old relationship."
"We are guests here. You, the Linshan Sect, must entertain Taoist Master Guanghong well, and you must not neglect your distinguished guest."
Shan Shanhu changed the subject and began to give orders to Xu Yishan.
Xu Yishan's face was full of smiles.
"Taoist Priest Guanghong is here to visit us. It's such a happy event that we couldn't even hope for. How dare I neglect it."
Everyone sitting in the square kept quiet while the several foundation-building monks were talking, not daring to disturb them in the slightest.
Especially some people with bright minds can faintly hear the hidden meaning in a single nonsense. They immediately sat upright, not even daring to breathe a sigh of relief.
Meng Zhang was also aware of this weird atmosphere. Thinking of some of the information Li Xuan told him before, he had a rough idea.
