Shen Hao set out before dawn and went up Mingshan Mountain under the protection of thirty elite guards arranged by Jinjian Camp. He left all the men in the Black Flag Camp in the camp and did not take them up the mountain.
When he arrived at the mountain gate, Xiang Liu, an old acquaintance of Mingshan Sect, personally greeted him at the mountain gate. Also accompanying Xiang Liu was Zhong Hongye, an acquaintance of Wanjuan Shushan.
"Hahaha, Mr. Shen, Xiang has been waiting here for a long time!"
"Master Shen, I haven't seen you in a long time, and your style is even better than before!"
Xiang Liu and Zhong Hongye greeted Shen Hao first, with polite and enthusiastic words. They walked a few steps forward and bowed their hands, thoughtful and attentive, and seemed to be quite hospitable.
But Shen Hao also smiled knowingly when he saw this battle, and returned the greetings with the same polite and thoughtful greetings, plus pleasantries. He also understood that this was actually a response from Mingshan Sect and Wanjuan Shushan for bringing half of the Golden Sword Battalion over for his laborious efforts. Otherwise, what kind of guests would Zhong Hongye come to welcome at Mingshan Sect’s territory? Are you also bringing along dozens of elite disciples of the Mingshan Sect who have cultivated from the late Yuan Dan realm to the early Xuan Hai realm?
Although it is not to say that "the tip of a needle is against the wheat awn", it can be said that it is "showing no weakness". .
"Thank you, the two elders, for welcoming me. Shen Hao is too ashamed to do so!"
"Haha, Mr. Shen is now prosperous in officialdom and military affairs. Not only is he a fish in water at Fenghong Villa and is highly regarded by King Yongsheng, but he has also been commanded by Xuanqing Guards to position Pang Ban as his successor. Who in the old Jing Dynasty does not know about Mr. Shen? Reputation? Even within the sect, Lord Shen is well known for his reputation, and so are our two families. How dare we neglect Lord Shen?"
Walking on the mountain gate avenue of Mingshan, the steps were gradually covered with snow. After walking up fifty feet, the temperature was already turning into frost. It seemed to be unusually cold.
Shen Hao's first impression of Mingshan Mountain Gate was that the vitality of heaven and earth here was very different from that of Wanjuan Shushan. Although it was too lively and abundant, it was focused. The five elements of water and wood here were extremely rich. It is almost three to five times that of other attributes of the Five Elements.
In other words, the absolute effect of practicing the five elements water and wood attributes on Mingshan Mountain is far superior to other magic methods.
However, you don’t have to listen carefully to Xiang Liu’s words to hear that he is expressing dissatisfaction in a subtle way. The meaning is that Shen Hao has a high status now and wants to use this power to oppress the sect, but the sect cannot. Not letting go of your posture to deal with it is quite a bit yin and yang.
However, Shen Hao felt that Xiang Liu's words were a bit petty, and also somewhat unclear about the situation. Perhaps the two super sects, Mingshan Sect and Wanjuan Shushan, have stayed in high places for too long and no longer know how to deal with new equals. They like to deal with and deal with things from a high and overlooking perspective. Looking at the problem, they will feel uncomfortable if someone is on the same side as them, and they may even feel that the other person has offended them.
In fact, it's also because Fenghong Villa has always been too soft, which is why the sect habitually puts him in the lower position.
However, Shen Hao has been laying it out for so long and made so much preparation, not only to let everyone in the sect, including the two super sects, understand one truth, that is: in this land, who can be the master The one who calls the shots is the Jingjiu Dynasty, and the sect is no exception.
So Shen Hao walked away with a smile and replied: "I commend Shen to the elders. Shen is just doing his job seriously and has some merit. What is said outside is just a false name and not worth mentioning. But a super person like Mingshan Sect The sect's prestige has been growing for a long time, and now it has a gratifying momentum to make further progress. Everyone in the Jingjiu Dynasty is paying close attention to it.
Moreover, the noble sect leader extended such a warm invitation to such a grand event, which really made Shen feel even more frightened. No, this time Shen came here to show his grandeur and specially brought the most reliable team in Fenghong Villa. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a loss of face for the Mingshan Sect? "
Xiang Liu and Zhong Hongye who were walking beside them couldn't help but smile when they heard Shen Hao's words, but then they became less natural. I felt that their yin and yang language skills were far from the match of Shen. Not only did the other party understand their purpose of inviting Shen to the sword trial competition in his personal capacity, but he also expressed an extremely tough attitude.
In other words, the surname Shen means: I won’t be afraid now that I’m here, but it’s just some Golden Sword Camp that makes you so nervous. Are you too timid?
In fact, it was not just Shen Hao who was verbally exchanging words with Zhong Hongye and Xiang Liu as he walked. A large group of disciples following them were also exchanging words with Jin Jianwei. However, compared to the verbal exchanges between the three in front, , the subsequent confrontation seemed silent.
The man surnamed Shen led his troops to the foot of Mingshan Mountain in such a loud voice and set up camp only fifteen miles away. It was obvious that he wanted to stimulate the nerves of the Mingshan Sect. In addition, the sword trial competition today is much more sensitive than in previous years. This cannot but be felt by people. There was an unknown meaning from the old Jing Dynasty, even some hostility.
Or "beating"? However, Mingshan Sect subconsciously avoided the word "beating".
In addition, the two super sects also seemed to have forgotten that they originally wanted to use "beating" Shen Hao to send a strong message to Fenghong Villa and Jing Jiuchao, reminding Jing Jiuchao not to stretch their hands too far. Now that Jing Jiuchao had directly attacked them, they couldn't stand it any longer.
I don’t care, I don’t care, since you dare to argue with our super sect, it’s a provocation! I have long heard how great the Golden Sword Camp is, but now I want to see if it is really that powerful.
As a result, wisps of provocative aura brushed over the bodies of the soldiers of the Golden Sword Battalion who were marching in formation like a comb. Even when they were walking on the mountain road, the disciples of the Mingshan Sect surrounded Shen Hao and all the Golden Sword Guards in an encirclement manner. Each one of them would use their magic power from time to time intentionally or unintentionally. This posture meant that some people would take action at the next moment. letter.
However, what was opposite to the provocation of the Mingshan Sect disciples was the indifference of Jinjianying. Ordinary monks will never get hairy if someone sweeps their breath and senses over their body repeatedly, because this is equivalent to slapping your cheek with their hands, which is not very harmful but extremely insulting. This is usually the starting point for provoking troubles.
But the soldiers of Jinjian Camp from top to bottom, even the general, seemed to have "no reaction" to the provocations of the Mingshan Sect disciples. Their faces were always dull and serious, their eyes were looking straight ahead, and they followed the three people in front of them unhurriedly. Human steps move forward. If there is any action that can be regarded as a response to the provocation, it is that these Golden Sword Battalions have never left the hands of the magical weapons on their waists, and they have always maintained a steady and alert mana fluctuation on their bodies.
Perhaps the disciples of Mingshan Sect would not know that Xiang Liu and Zhong Hongye, who were walking at the front, were already sweating behind them.
