The meeting hall.
Like stars falling, rainbow lights of various colors cut through the void and fell in front of the hall, and the figures disappeared in a flash.
Yuan Qing and others rushed over after hearing the message. Entering the hall, the young man was really surprised. However, the main hall, which was more than ten feet high, was actually hundreds of feet in area.
There is a three-step jade platform built at the end of the hall, in front of which a man and a woman stand side by side: the man is wearing a purple robe and has a majestic face; the woman is wearing white clothes and has a cold expression. It is Mei Xinyi and Bai Zhi who have not seen each other for a long time.
There were eighteen people standing opposite the two, with different descriptions, well-mannered manners, and majestic spiritual pressure on their bodies. They were all monks in the alchemy stage.
After that, three feet away came the many foundation-building disciples, all of whom stood with solemn expressions and tied their hands.
There was silence in the hall, and the atmosphere was a little solemn for a while.
After about a stick of incense, there was a flash of white light, and a young man in white appeared on the platform. He had an ordinary face, a noble temperament, and an aura like an abyss or an ocean.
"I've seen the leader!" everyone said in unison, bowing and saluting.
"Excuse me, everyone." The young man said calmly, his voice was not loud, clear and gentle, like a whisper beside him, clear to the ears.
When everyone stood up, the young man said in a deep voice: "When my clan was born, I was attacked by demons. For hundreds of thousands of years, I suffered countless deaths and injuries. The predecessors and sages fought with blood to gain tens of thousands of years of peace. However, the demon clan's desire to destroy me will not die. The beasts invaded, slaughtering the city and plundering the land, leaving ruins and rivers of blood everywhere they passed."
"Now we, the eight sects of immortals, want to imitate the ancient sages, put aside their past grudges, and join forces to slay demons. All disciples should work together, without fear of life or death, to protect the foundation of our human race!"
"However, the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. If we refuse to defend the city, we will build our own prison. This will give the demon tribe an opportunity, and they will be surrounded and killed. Therefore, the eight factions have decided that we should take the initiative to attack, kill their leader, and kill them." Its foundation. Once the demon head is removed, the tide of beasts will resolve itself, and the rest will not be a concern."
"The specific matters will be announced by Mei Xinyi. Everyone needs to remember that without experiencing life and death, there is no way to achieve enlightenment. There are great terrors and great opportunities between life and death. You should take care of yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man disappeared.
Everyone in the audience bowed their heads when they saw this, and shouted respectfully: "I obey the master's decree and send you off to the master respectfully."
After the ceremony, Mei Xinyi and a group of monks in the alchemy stage turned around. The former slightly cupped his hands and said loudly: "I am wrongly loved by the leader, and I have been given the responsibility of supervising the war. The specific actions are now announced as follows."
"All disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage can form a team of ten to fifteen people. After three days, they will register and make a list. The rest will be randomly formed into groups. Each team will be led by two senior brothers in the Pill Formation stage and will set off after seven days."
"The other sects in the alchemy stage have discovered more than a hundred beast nests. Your task is to destroy the nests and slay the monsters. All the gains made during this period are personal and do not need to be turned over to the sect."
"In addition, those who are seriously injured can apply to Junior Sister Bai for a stay. Junior brothers, do you have any questions?"
After waiting for a moment and seeing no one asking questions, he nodded slightly and said, "In that case, please excuse me."
After hearing the words, everyone bowed their heads and saluted, and then dispersed in twos and threes. Only the disciples in the Dan Formation stage stayed in place and formed a circle by themselves, as if they had something to discuss.
After everyone left, Mei Xinyi turned her palm and took out a jade plate, and played out the magic formula. The jade plate shook slightly and emitted a hazy clear light.
The clear light converged and deformed, forming a map with mountains, rivers, flowing water, valleys and deep pools, all of which were lifelike.
In addition, there are more than a hundred red dots scattered throughout, flickering incessantly, with different light and dark colors, and I don’t know what they mean.
"Everyone, please take a look," Mei Xinyi said in a deep voice: "The red dot is the discovered beast's nest. The brighter the color, the higher the cultivation level of the monsters in the nest, and the more followers there are. The brightest one is Junior Brother Feng. As he said, there are six seventh-level monsters entrenched in it, so you should be cautious when doing things. According to the instructions from the leader, we should start from this area, and then..."
In the small courtyard.
Wang Qing, Li Yang, and Liu Han started discussing the formation of a team as soon as they came back. The three of them had been together for a long time and made many friends. They kept talking to each other.
Yuan Qing was still young and had a noble nature, so everyone he met gathered here; Zhu Ling'er even lived deep in the snow peaks, isolated from the world; the two sat aside and listened quietly.
Han Hongrui didn't know why, but her face was filled with frost and she said nothing. Han Dongxing looked ashamed and hesitated several times.
Finally, he seized the opportunity and said: "Everyone, I am very grateful to Han for taking care of me over the past few days! However, my cultivation has been reduced, and my body is also broken. There is no hope for the road, and I am afraid that it will be a drag, so I plan to stay at the station. I will also withdraw from the sect in the future and return to the clan to take care of some affairs. But..."
After speaking, he paused and looked at the female cultivator beside him.
"It's just that the road ahead is dangerous and unpredictable. My little sister is alone. In addition, in order to save my life, she has self-destructed many magic weapons. Now it is hard to protect myself. If I encounter danger, I'm afraid..."
The female cultivator stood up suddenly, with a cold expression on her face, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Brother, when did my disciple of the Han family fall to the point of asking for charity!"
Han Dongxing ignored his words and stood up, saying in a sincere tone: "I hope you can take care of me. When you come back, the Han family will repay you! Thank you!"
After saying that, he held the gift with one hand and bowed to the end.
Han Hongrui's eyes were slightly red, and she hurriedly helped him up, calling softly with a tearful tone: "Brother..."
Yuan Qing looked thoughtful and didn't answer; Zhu Ling'er looked calm and didn't know what he was thinking; for the rest, you looked at me and I looked at you. The scene was a little awkward for a while.
Han Dongxing smiled bitterly when he saw this, but Han Hongrui regained her composure, as if she had expected it.
Just as the two were about to say goodbye, Wang Qing sighed softly, and as soon as the word "Han" came out of his mouth, he heard a light female voice.
"We are from the same sect, and we have experienced life and death together, so we naturally have to help each other, but Senior Brother Han is overly worried."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Liu Han was still looking back and forth between the two female cultivators. Yuan Qing seemed to have known about it for a long time. It was no surprise. Just looking at her expression, she seemed to have something to say.
"Ling'er..." Han Hongrui looked at Zhu Ling'er with a complicated expression.
Han Dongxing felt relieved: "Now that Junior Sister Zhu has spoken, I can leave with peace of mind! When you all come back victorious, Han will sweep the bed to greet you and say goodbye!"
Wang Qing clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Brother Han, don't worry, given the friendship between you and me, a certain family will never stand idly by!"
Han Dongxing laughed and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Wang! Gentlemen, please just say goodbye!"
After saying that, he released the magic weapon and left in the air.
While everyone was returning the gift, suddenly a ray of fire penetrated the restriction and stopped in front of Han Dongxing, and then a faint male voice came out.
"Brother Han, please don't be offended if Zhao comes here uninvited. Can you please open the ban and meet up for a chat?"
Han Dongxing paused, looked at everyone, and explained, "He is from the Zhao family. Do you want to meet him?"
While everyone was still hesitating, Yuan Qing thought of an elegant man wearing a green robe, and then said, "It doesn't hurt to meet him."
Hearing what Yuan Qing said, although others were a little confused, no one objected.
Wang Qing then opened the ban and saw four people headed by Zhao Yimu filing in and standing in the courtyard.
Zhao Yimu took a small step forward, cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Brother Han, Brother Wang."
Then he turned to Yuan Qing and Zhu Ling'er: "Junior Brother Yuan, Junior Sister Zhu, you are fine."
After Wang Qing returned the gift, he was about to open his mouth to send a message, but he saw Yuan Qing walking up to the man in a Confucian shirt, bowing and saluting: "Senior Brother Jiang, long time no see."
Jiang Shangzhen smiled and helped him up, and said with a look of relief: "Junior brother, please get up quickly. After a few decades, junior brother's swordsmanship has reached such a state. It is really amazing!"
Yuan Qing briefly sensed the person in front of him and said with a smile: "Senior brother is amazing. He has advanced from qi training to the late stage of foundation building in just ten years. He is worthy of being senior brother Jiang!"
"Humph, what do I think? I'm just a mid-term cultivation level." Jiang Shang was about to speak when a murmur came from the side.
He smiled slightly and ignored it. Instead, he winked at Zhao Yimu, who then said to Wang Qing and others: "We are here to seek cooperation. What do you think?"
Except for Yuan Qing and Zhu Ling'er, everyone else looked deep in thought.
Seeing this, Zhao Yimu nodded to Jiang Shangzhen. The latter smiled knowingly, stepped aside and pointed at the little fat man in purple clothes and said: "This is Junior Brother Huang Shuo. He is the direct disciple of Elder Lei. He has unparalleled power in thunder skills."
Then he pointed at the arrogant female cultivator and said, "This is the eldest granddaughter of the Zhao family. She has advanced cultivation, has many magic weapons and talismans, and is extremely sharp."
Finally, he slightly cupped his hands and said warmly: "As for me, I'm just an ordinary person. Fortunately, I was able to build the foundation with the guidance of an expert. I can only master the Five Elements Technique."
Wang Qing was quite moved after hearing this, and secretly calculated: "If we add these four people, I will have exactly ten people, and in the later period, there will be five monks, plus a strong Yuan Qing, With such strength, not to mention being invincible, at least it is more than enough to protect oneself."
Just as he was about to agree, Han Dongxing suddenly said, "Brother Zhao, can you wait a moment? We need to discuss something."
Zhao Yimu didn't care and said calmly: "This is natural. Brother Han, please do it."
Han Dongxing said "offended", then called everyone aside, waved his hands to raise a soundproof shield, and said solemnly: "Junior brother Yuan, do you still remember the incident of rushing to the aid of Hanjiabao twenty years ago?"
Yuan Qing nodded and said calmly: "Senior Brother Han, do you want to say that the Zhao family and the Su family colluded with each other to set up Yuan?"
Everyone was startled when they heard this, and Han Dongxing even asked directly: "When did Junior Brother Yuan know?"
Yuan Qing's expression was indifferent, as if he was talking about a trivial matter that had nothing to do with him: "There were many flaws in what happened back then, and after a little reflection, you will know that there is something fishy about it."
Wang Qing became more and more confused as he listened, and asked in a rough voice: "Brother Han, what's going on!"
Han Dongxing sighed softly and told the story of how the four families of Su, Zhao, Li, and Han got Yuan Qing into the game.
After hearing this, Li Yang thought for a moment and said, "In this case, if it hadn't been for Senior Brother Xu's unintentional words, Junior Brother Yuan and I would have had a secret rift. What does this person from the Su family want?"
Han Hongrui's eyes flashed and she said softly: "In my opinion, the Su family wants to use both soft and hard tactics so that Yuan Qing can be used by him. As for the Zhao family, they have always been in constant competition with the Su family. Most of them want to see what Su Tianqi can do. Who is the most sacred person in the world?"
Everyone nodded when they heard this, and even Zhu Ling'er's eyes sparkled.
Han Dongxing wanted to say more, but Yuan Qing broke the soundproof cover with an impatient look, walked up to Zhao Yimu and Zhao Feiyan, and asked aloud: "What did you want to do about what happened back then?"
After saying this, the young man entered the realm of the clear heart of the sword. Suddenly, the spiritual platform was clear and his mind was clear. Only a ray of spiritual sense could be sensed from afar.
The two of them felt that the young man in front of them suddenly changed, like a sharp sword being drawn out of its sheath, and the sharp sword intent locked them tightly, as if a sword light would come to them at the next moment, and the danger of life and death suddenly surged into their hearts.
Instinctively opening the protective light shield, the two looked at each other. Finally, Zhao Feiyan suppressed the discomfort and slowly told the whole story.
Zhao Yimu always looked at Yuan Qing nervously. The green and red lights around his body flickered on and off, and all the magic power in his body was mobilized, ready to take action at any time.
After telling the story, Yuan Qing withdrew from the realm of clear sword heart, and the sharp sword intention also disappeared. Looking at the two Zhao family members again, a thin layer of sweat appeared on their foreheads unconsciously.
Zhao Yimu took a deep breath and said to Yuan Qing: "My Zhao family has no ill intentions. I wonder if junior brother is still satisfied?"
Yuan Qing nodded, as if he had known it for a long time.
Wang Qing took a few steps forward and laughed: "It's great to let go of all the past feud! We will all work together in the future to kill the enemy together!"
"So, Brother Wang agrees with me to form a team?" Zhao Yimu asked with a slight smile upon hearing this, his eyes indeed looking at the young man in white.
Wang Qing looked back and saw that no one objected. Yuan Qing also nodded lightly, then laughed and said, "Not bad, please give me more advice from Brother Zhao in the future."
Zhao Yimu nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's great! Let's finalize the list and choose one person to submit it."
As soon as he finished speaking, another burst of fire came and stopped in front of Yuan Qing, and then a clear child's voice came to mind:
"Senior brother, I'm here to join you!"
