The conversation in the house seemed particularly boring because of Wang Tuo's presence.
However, Ying Changfeng had a gentle temper. No matter what Wang Tuo asked, he answered without hesitation. Lin Hai felt drowsy listening beside him.
Xiang Shen simply waved his sleeves and placed a barrier around his body, focusing on refining his true energy.
Lin Hai was awakened by the fluctuations in the formation. When he saw the barrier on the opposite side, he immediately followed suit and set up a barrier to practice.
In the next few days, as the monks moved around on the spirit boat, there were occasional frictions, but under the suppression of Tianqing Pavilion, there was no disturbance.
Xiang Shu ignored what was going on outside the window and spent day and night refining his true energy in the house without even taking a step outside.
Such determination aroused the admiration of the two brothers Ying Changfeng.
On the other hand, Wang Tuo has been wandering around the spirit boat these past few days and can hardly see anyone. It wasn't until Siji City was approaching and Tianqing Pavilion prohibited the monks from wandering around that he returned to his house and settled down.
A few hours later, Xiang Shu, who was immersed in practice, suddenly felt a weightless feeling of falling rapidly.
She suddenly opened her eyes, stood up and walked to the window of the house. In the vast wilderness, the outline of a huge, lonely, square city came into view.
It was noon at this moment, and the scorching sun was shining brightly on the tiles of the ancient buildings in the city.
The city is extremely symmetrical and looks a bit like a palace from a previous life. However, compared with the palace, the scale of this city is much larger.
Xiang Shen thought to himself, and suddenly heard Ying Changfeng shout: "Brother Wang, Siji City has arrived."
Wang Tuo responded and immediately came over. When he saw the huge city on the ground, he suddenly took a breath of air: "It's so big!"
Lin Hai couldn't help but burst into laughter and joked: "Brother Wang, how come such a majestic city turns so silly in your mouth?"
"Am I wrong?"
Wang Tuo opened his hands to make gestures and hummed: "This Siji City is so big that it can accommodate thousands of Wangjia Villages!"
Ying Changfeng also burst into laughter. Then he looked at Xiang Shen, who was always serious and unsmiling next to him. The smile on his face subconsciously faded a little. He coughed twice and said, "Don't be ridiculous. Let's go to the city and settle down early."
The falling speed of the spirit boat gradually slowed down, and finally stopped steadily at the north gate of Siji City.
"The four poles city is symmetrical on all four sides, and each has a gate."
It was obviously not the first time for Ying Changfeng to come here. After getting off the spirit boat, he led Xiang Shen and the other three people towards the city, and warned at the same time: "Most ancient cities have air-forbidden formations, and this city is no exception. You must remember this." Don’t fly into the air to avoid being obliterated by the formation.”
Wang Tuo and Lin Hai's expressions tightened upon hearing this, and they nodded in unison.
Xiang Shen's eyes flashed, "Where are we going?"
"The Siji City has the stronghold of the last sect on the list in Dongzhou, and so does this sect."
Ying Changfeng said with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face: "Last time, our sect was ranked 497th, and the stronghold we were assigned was not large. But don't worry, fellow Taoists, it is more than enough for the four of us to live in."
Xiang Shu nodded slightly to express his understanding.
Following Ying Changfeng, everyone walked through the streets.
Tomorrow is the day when the Dongzhou Competition begins. Cultivation sects from all over the place come in droves, and the streets and markets are bustling with people.
In a daze, Xiang Shu seemed to have returned to the original Xuanwang City.
But today, no one will pester her "sister" and call her "sister" non-stop.
Walking through the noisy downtown, the group of four became more and more quiet as they walked, and finally came to a house with a half-opened doorway, and faint voices could be heard from inside.
Lin Hai cautiously walked to the door and saw several young monks talking inside through the crack in the door. He suddenly looked strange and turned around and said, "Senior brother, are you remembering it wrong?"
Ying Changfeng's face darkened, he took a step forward and swept away the gravel beside the door with a flick of his sleeves.
An old lintel that had been folded in half was revealed. The folds were very new, and the mark of Wanjianmen on it was clear and variable.
Lin Hai's expression changed slightly, "Senior brother, this..."
"Isn't this Senior Brother Ying?"
The door was suddenly opened, and a young man with a mean look walked out. His pair of inverted triangular eyes were full of mockery, "We haven't seen each other for several years. Why does Senior Brother Ying look so much older?"
"Junior Brother Wei."
Ying Changfeng's face was shocked and ugly, "After you disappeared, Master was distressed for a long time, but he didn't miss you... You actually found another place without permission?!"
"What do you mean by finding another place?"
The mean young man had a cold face and sneered: "I have been practicing hard at Wanjian Sect for fifty years, but the master is not even willing to teach the Zhen Sect's inner method! He only has eyes for you, so why should I be his disciple?"
If I hadn't chosen the opportunity to become a disciple of another disciple, this wonderful year of cultivation would have been delayed by such sanctimonious people like you! "
Ying Changfeng was shocked and angry when he heard this: "Junior brother Wei, you are not in a good mood. Master and others are all for your own good, but you actually..."
"What's good for me?"
The mean young man interrupted coldly, full of resentment, "You are trying to prevaricate me with your state of mind. It's just because the sect's resources are only enough to support one person, and he finally chose you instead of me."
"Junior brother, why do you need to talk nonsense to them?"
Behind the mean young man, a tall young man walked out calmly, looked at Ying Changfeng with his hands behind his hands, and said calmly: "Fellow Daoist Ying, this stronghold is occupied by our Chang Yue Sect. Your sect should find another place to stay."
The young man's words were plain, but there was an undoubted sense of domineering.
"Why?!"
Lin Hai was young and energetic, and immediately shouted unconvinced: "This is the stronghold of my Wanjian Sect, it's you who should get out!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Chang Yue Sect burst into laughter.
A smile appeared on the face of the tall young man, "Wanjianmen is really in ruins. Even such a young boy is sent to Siji City to embarrass himself."
"Are you Lin Hai?"
The young man surnamed Wei sneered, "In the world of cultivation, the strong are respected. We, the Chang Yue Sect, occupy this stronghold. If you, the Wanjian Sect, are not convinced, you can take action."
Lin Hai was ridiculed and his face turned red with anger. Before he could think of how to refute, a burst of laughter suddenly came from behind him.
"well said!"
Wang Tuo walked forward with a smile on his face, staring at the tall young man with bright eyes, "I'll fight you!"
The tall young man frowned, "Your Excellency is not a member of Wanjian Clan, why do you need to get involved..."
"Where does all this nonsense come from!"
Wang Tuo punched out suddenly, and his fist actually pulled out dozens of afterimages in an instant.
The tall young man's face changed slightly, and his reaction was not slow. The spiritual shield around him opened in response, and a shield magic weapon was blocked in front of him.
boom!
The shield magic weapon dented hard, and the tall young man raised his head and spurted out a mouthful of blood. He flew backwards into the courtyard like a cannonball and disappeared with a bang.
The scene became extremely silent for a moment.
"Brother Wang..."
Ying Changfeng murmured, looking a little confused.
Although he has never seen this great disciple of the Chang Yue Sect, he has heard about it. He is in the late stage of foundation building and is very good at defensive techniques. Why can't he withstand Wang Tuo's punch?
Obviously this Wang Tuo, like the great disciple of Chang Yue Sect, is in the late stage of foundation building.
No wonder he was so confident before and wanted to make a name for himself in the Dongzhou Competition. It turned out that he really had two skills!
Then this time the sect ranking...
Ying Changfeng's eyes suddenly brightened when he thought of this.
"Big brother!"
The remaining Chang Yue Sect disciples panicked and hurriedly ran to the courtyard, only to see their senior brother with a bruised nose and face embedded in the wall. He was seriously injured and unconscious.
Seeing the miserable condition of the tall young man, Wang Tuo couldn't help but scratch his head and said to himself: "Why are you so unbeaten?"
As soon as these words came out, many Chang Yue Sect disciples reacted with panic on their faces, "Let's go, let's go quickly!"
They hurriedly got the tall young man off the wall, and three or five of them carried him and fled without even daring to say a harsh word.
The young man named Wei no longer looked arrogant and rushed to the front.
, looked extremely panicked, fearing that Ying Changfeng would make a noise and leave him alone.
Ying Changfeng only watched indifferently and did not step forward to stop him.
When Wang Tuo saw this, he stepped forward and expressed concern: "Aren't you going to clean up the house?"
"No. Since he is a disciple of Chang Yue Sect, he can't escape."
Ying Changfeng's tone was low: "This matter is something that is deeply concerned by Master. It is up to Master to take action himself. I will report it to Master later and let him handle it on his own."
Xiang Shen watched this, feeling slightly surprised.
This Ying Changfeng is a bit... womanly.
If it had been Shu Gaoming, or any of the true successors of the Blazing Flame Sect, I am afraid that the traitor would have been killed with one sword, why are there so many twists and turns.
Wang Tuo was impatient and said directly: "The affairs of your sect are really complicated. I don't care. This fight is really unpleasant! Brother Ying, we are at the end of the road anyway. How about you fight with me first?"
Ying Changfeng's expression immediately changed, and he immediately waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, Brother Wang, my cultivation level is almost the same as that of Chang Yue Sect's great disciple, so I am no match for you."
Wang Tuo sighed and turned his gaze to Lin Hai.
Lin Hai was so frightened that he took a step back and said with a sneer: "Brother Wang, I have only practiced at the ninth level of Qi."
"Of course I won't fight you, what are you afraid of?"
Wang Tuo rolled his eyes, finally looked at Xiang Shu, hesitated, and said, "Brother Zhu, you look about the same age as me, and you probably lack actual combat experience. I think your cultivation is at the first level than mine, so... …I’ll fight you with 30% of my strength, how about we practice?”
Xiang Shen didn't want to talk to him at first, but after hearing these words, there was some hesitation in his eyes.
Although she has experienced a lot in the past six months, most of them were running for her life, and she really doesn't have much practical experience.
This Wang Tuo's strength far exceeds his cultivation level. He looks rough and thick-skinned. He is indeed a good sparring partner.
Thinking of this, Xiang Shu nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
Wang Tuo suddenly became happy and clenched his fists: "Come on!"
Ying Changfeng and Lin Hai immediately stepped away, and both of them opened their eyes wide at the same time.
Wang Tuo's cultivation really surprised them. Zhu Lu was a show-off, and they also wanted to see what his strength was.
The two men distanced themselves on the field, and the fight was about to break out.
Xiang Shu's face was calm, and he raised his hand to make a move. The spiritual sword suddenly appeared in his palm, and an invisible sword power suddenly unfolded.
Wang Tuo, who was full of fighting spirit, suddenly changed his expression and immediately raised his hand and shouted: "I won't fight!"
