Zhao Jiudou returned to his seat with a gloomy look on his face and said nothing.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the children of the Zhao family next to them carefully avoided Zhao Jiudou's eyes.
Originally, he stood up for the disciples in the clan and wanted to save the family's face.
I didn't expect that boy to be so difficult to deal with. His swordsmanship is really powerful, but he can't do anything to him.
This time, not only did he not make the boy look bad, but he also gained face for him.
Zhao Jiudou guessed right. Meng Zhang showed off his superb swordsmanship, using a weak opponent as a strong opponent, and fought to a draw with Zhao Jiudou, whose cultivation level was higher than his own. This scene caused a lot of discussion in the eyes of everyone present.
No one thought that the head of a little-known sect like Taiyi Sect could be so powerful.
Those monks who did not know Meng Zhang before asked people around them about Meng Zhang's experience.
Some monks who had been in contact with Meng Zhang two days ago but did not pay enough attention to Meng Zhang or even looked down on Meng Zhang felt a little regretful at this time.
There are many vassal forces in Shuangfeng Valley, but not many have foundation-building monks, and these forces basically only have one or two foundation-building monks, who serve as the sect’s trump card.
Under the circumstances where monks in the foundation-building stage do not take action easily, monks who have reached the perfect realm of Qi refining are almost the backbone of their respective forces.
With the fighting prowess Meng Zhang has shown, he can hold up the Taiyi Sect alone.
Zhao Dong, who was still gnashing his teeth at Meng Zhang, saw that Zhao Jiudou did not gain the upper hand. Not only was he worried that he would be angered by Zhao Jiudou, but he also felt a little relaxed in his heart.
Lin Shenpo waited for the monks below to discuss for a while, and then softly shouted: "Quiet."
After the court fell silent, Lin Shenpo started a new round of explanation using the example of the battle between Meng Zhang and Zhao Jiudou.
Lin Shenpo used his commanding position to clearly explain the gains and losses in the sword fight between the two.
After hearing this, Meng Zhang and Zhao Jiudou felt that they had gained a lot, and they did not fight in vain.
Zhao Jiudou's originally depressed mood also became much better.
Everyone in the audience was mesmerized and immersed in it.
After Lin Shenpo announced that the lecture was over, many people still felt reluctant to leave and wished that Lin Shenpo could continue to teach for three days and three nights.
After Lin Shenpo finished his lecture, the next program was for the Linshan sect to hold a banquet to entertain guests from all walks of life.
Among the guests, the foundation-building monks were naturally received by Xu Yishan personally.
Linshan Sect leader Xu Chengxian led everyone to an open-air banquet venue.
After Xu Chengxian said a lot of nonsense to thank all the guests, the banquet entered a free social period.
Guests from all parties walked around the banquet hall and chatted with colleagues they met from time to time.
At this time, Meng Zhang was in a different situation than when he first came to Linshan, when no one cared about him.
A sword fight made him famous, and many people came to greet him and wanted to get acquainted with him.
Everyone understands the principle of not bullying young people into poverty.
Meng Zhang is so young but has such a level of cultivation. He really has a bright future. As long as he doesn't die young or die young, he may even reach the foundation-building realm in the future.
Meng Zhang was not lost in the crowd's enthusiasm, but instead made him alert.
From being ignored at the beginning to being visited by a large number of guests now, he knew the reason very clearly.
Cultivation is the foundation, you must not relax.
Forced to endure some impatience in his heart, Meng Zhang still interacted with his comrades more enthusiastically.
Fortunately, everyone is a cultivator and relatively reserved. Even if he was optimistic about Meng Zhang's future, he wouldn't be tempted to fawn over him now.
The people who gathered around to greet Meng Zhang just wanted to become familiar with each other and create a good relationship.
On the other hand, Jin Qigu, the head of the Qiaoshou Sect, after taking the initiative to introduce each other to Meng Zhang, she kept asking whether Meng Zhang's parents were alive, whether he was married, and whether he had a lover.
Qiaoshoumen is a sect that is basically composed entirely of women.
The disciples in the sect are ingenious and good at the art of women's red. They can weave and sew fine robes, cloaks, battle armor, etc.
Many surrounding forces are custom-made Taoist robes at Qiaoshoumen.
Many specially made clothes, leather armors, etc. are even sold to other regions.
Relying on these productions, Qiaoshou Sect can be considered a relatively wealthy sect.
Don't think that these women are easy to bully.
Qiaoshoumen's flying needle technique is famous far and wide.
Aunt Jin, the great elder of the Qiaoshou Sect in the foundation-building stage, is the only monk in the middle-stage foundation-building stage among the many vassals in Shuangfeng Valley. Her fighting power is tyrannical, and she is not inferior to women. Even Shuangfenggu must respect her.
Jin Qigu, the head of Qiaoshou Sect, has a unique vision and is good at dancing. She is also not an energy-saving lamp.
Jin Qigu pretended to be a matchmaker for Meng Zhang, which made Meng Zhang a little unable to resist.
After chatting for a while, they quickly found an excuse and fled in embarrassment.
Jin Qigu did not pursue him fiercely, because she was also entangled by Ruan Xiaodao, the head of the Golden Knife Sect.
Meng Zhang finally left the crowd, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Li Xuan chased after him.
"Headmaster, Li Shengqi has come into contact with several forces, but they don't pay much attention to him."
Ever since he discovered that Li Shengqi had a secret and was being targeted by the Zhao family, Meng Zhang became interested. He told Li Xuan, who was familiar with the situation, to pay attention to Li Shengqi's movements.
Li Xuan's words did not exceed Meng Zhang's expectations.
Li Shengqi's purpose in contacting these forces was to use external forces to fight against the Zhao family's persecution.
But the capital in his hands was too little. It's just two shops in Mingshafang City, and there are still some residual floating wealth.
Several sects with foundation-building monks looked down upon this. Especially since the Linshan Sect had just been beaten by Shuangfenggu, it would not cause any problems.
Although the Zhao family does not have foundation-building monks, there are many Qi Refining monks, and they are one of the most powerful beings in the Qi Refining Sect.
If there were no huge benefits, which Qi Refining Sect would be willing to provoke the Zhao family.
Even the old enemy Taiyi Clan would not confront the Zhao family just like this. Meng Zhang only paid attention secretly, looking for opportunities to take action.
If the opportunity is not right, Meng Zhang will not take action easily.
"You continue to pay attention to Li Shengqi, and you can inquire about his recent situation."
"All this must be done in secret, and must not be discovered by the Zhao family."
Li Xuan nodded and obeyed. As he was about to leave, his expression changed and he looked at a group of people walking over not far away.
The leader of that group of people was a short old man, not much taller than a dwarf, with a vulgar face and a deer-like head and rat-like eyes.
This old man was over fifty years old and his movements were nimble. Even when he was walking around on such occasions, he would always look around and look around, with a cunning look on his face.
