The reason why Xu Qian chose to come to Qi Lingmen first was naturally because of Huai Shangqing's entrustment, and with this relationship, he was somewhat confident that Qi Lingmen would stand in line.
A dozen gatekeeper disciples of Qi Ling Sect are chatting about the news about the "Man-Eating Demon". Two of them have just come back from outside. It is their turn to guard the gate today. The others have not been able to go out in the past few days, so they just came back. The two people who came back talked endlessly to the people who had not gone out, showing off what they had seen and heard outside.
"Do you think Qi Da Zhu knows about this news?"
"That's natural, but they may not believe it. It is said that no sect among the eight major sects has sent people to find this man-devouring demon."
"I think so. After all, it's too mysterious. If we act rashly and it turns out to be false news, the eight major sects will lose their face and be more cautious."
"Huh? Someone is coming!"
When the disciple guarding the door saw that the person coming was not from their Qi Ling Sect, they immediately prepared themselves with a cold expression, as if they were not allowed to approach strangers.
"Who is visiting my Qiling Sect? Tell me your name!"
As one of the eight major sects, Qi Ling Sect has to be pompous, and not everyone can visit. If you want to customize spiritual weapons, you don't come to the Qi Ling Sect headquarters, but to the shops scattered all over the mainland.
"I, Ye Guzhou, have been entrusted by Mr. Huai Shangqing to come to the Qi Ling Sect to deliver the immortal weapon." Xu Qian was relaxed and natural. When facing these grassroots disciples, he had a calm attitude and did not have the condescending attitude of a great master.
Give me a fairy weapon? Everyone knows what an Immortal Weapon is, but what the hell is giving an Immortal Weapon? Not to mention the Qi Ling Sect, in the entire Hongmeng Continent for countless years, when has there ever been such a thing as giving an Immortal Weapon?
"He...he is...the Man-Eating Demon..." One of the two disciples who had been talking just now had seen a portrait of the so-called Man-Eating Demon. He didn't know whether it was excitement or fear, but his whole body couldn't help but stir up excitement. Shake.
The disciples who originally didn't know how to react to Xu Qian's words of "sending immortal weapons" were shocked when they heard the words "human-devouring demon". They clenched the weapons in their hands and stared nervously. Visiting person.
"Are you sure this person is the man-devouring demon?" the leading disciple asked in a low voice. The man who recognized Xu Qian met Xu Qian's eyes, and his whole body tensed up. Although he had a face that was harmless to humans and animals, he even had a tinge on his face. He smiled faintly, but what he felt was a chill on his back.
"I...I..." This disciple couldn't speak, not because he was too nervous and his tongue was stiff, but because he didn't dare to speak. If this demon suddenly kills him, it is impossible for the sect members around him to protect him. Even if the Seven Great Zhus in the sect take action, they will not care about the life and death of a small person like him.
"What? Is the Qi Ling Sect so rich now that they don't even want immortal weapons? Or have you forgotten who Huai Shangqing is?"
To be honest, these disciples really don't know who Huai Shangqing is.
When Huai Shangqing left the Qi Ling Sect and went to the Dan Valley, he was already an elder. With this status, he was completely reclusive and would not show up for several years. His subsequent disappearance was only known to the senior officials of the Qi Ling Sect at the time. , after all, it is not a good thing, so there is no need to publicize it. Two thousand years have passed, and no one remembers this former supreme elder. Even the senior members of the sect who knew about it have been buried in the ground for more than a thousand years. If anyone still remembers Huai Shangqing If so, it is probably because Huai Shangqing took away the sect's most precious glass lamp and never returned.
"Are you a man-eating demon?" The leading disciple didn't want to know who Huai Shangqing was, nor did he pay attention to any immortal weapons. As long as the person in front of him was really the man-eating demon that made people change his mind, then maybe today would be the day. The catastrophe of Qi Ling Sect.
The leading disciple has already prepared an alarm talisman in his hand. As long as Xu Qian makes any move, he will immediately burn the talisman and the sect will know that an emergency has occurred.
"Man-devouring demon?" Xu Qian was stunned for a moment. He actually didn't want to accept this unpleasant nickname. A white-faced scholar with a harmless appearance got such a nickname. If it was similar to something He quickly recognized them as "Jade-Faced Little Flying Dragon".
Seeing that Xu Qian did not deny it, the other party had a general judgment in his mind. Such covert behavior made people more suspicious.
Xu Qian was too lazy to talk nonsense to these gatekeeper disciples. The two things he wanted to do at Qi Ling Sect today had nothing to do with these disciples. He had to meet someone who could be the head of the family. So, he simply took out an immortal weapon.
It was a large sword. Although it had a regular shape, there was a faint fairy spirit lingering on it. People with some discerning eyes could tell that this sword was extraordinary at a glance. This is the Weapon Spirit Sect that is the most professional in refining weapons among the four worlds, and there is absolutely no shortage of people who can see it.
However, these gatekeeper disciples are not among them.
When they saw Xu Qian calmly taking out his weapon, their first reaction was instinctively that the other party was about to attack, so they quickly lit up the alarm talisman.
Xu Qian could tell that it was a talisman. Although he didn't know what it did, he also felt that these disciples were extremely wary. If they didn't handle it well, they would fight each other.
"Look, these are the immortal weapons I'm talking about. There are many more, all for your Qi Ling Sect. Please go and ask for the seven great craftsmen from your sect."
Xu Qian came here to talk about his teammates, not to fight and make enemies. Moreover, before Huai Shangqing passed away, he also asked him to take care of the Qi Ling Sect. He had no reason to attack his disciples as soon as he came up. His tone and attitude were even a little lower. Figure, at least that's what he thought.
This was the third time I heard the word "immortal weapon", but when it came to these disciples, they only felt it was a threat. A man with a good reputation came to the door of the house carrying a big knife and kept showing off how powerful the knife was in his hand. Anyone would think that this person had evil intentions.
"Swear to protect the sect to the death! Form an array!" The leading disciple gave the order, and a dozen disciples immediately put on a well-trained posture to confront the enemy.
Qi Ling Sect naturally has a sect-protecting formation, but these disciples guarding the gate will not be protected by the formation unless they retreat into the sect, but how can they retreat? Once a fight breaks out, these dozen people won't be enough to fill the teeth of the Man-Eating Demon!
Seeing these disciples in front of him who were looking forward to death, Xu Qian felt really angry and funny. Do you have no brains or no ears? Didn’t I make it clear enough?
Just when the swords were at war, a deep voice came: "I wonder where my Qi Ling Sect has offended you, and I actually want to come here to commit murder?"
Hearing this voice, both parties felt relieved. The disciples had a backbone, and Xu Qian finally no longer had to argue with these grassroots disciples.
The sect-protecting formation is generally able to isolate spiritual consciousness. Otherwise, if a certain strong man only needs to sweep away his spiritual consciousness, he wouldn't be able to clearly understand the situation in the sect? Therefore, Xu Qian did not know the visitor in advance.
The person who came was a middle-aged man. He seemed to have a gentle appearance and a somewhat thin body, which was contrary to the image of a blacksmith in the traditional sense. Blacksmith is Xu Qian's intuitive definition of a weapon refiner. Although he also knows that a weapon refiner is by no means as simple as a blacksmith, and the weapons he forges also contain a variety of materials, even a highly skilled weapon refiner. Like the alchemist, the master himself is a knowledgeable and famous person.
"Are you the Five Forges Master?"
The Qi Ling Sect has always had seven casting masters, that is, seven people. However, these seven people are not seven specific people, but a name, which is also equivalent to the positions of some organizations on the earth. After the death of the predecessors, they will There is someone new on top. Xu Qian knows that among the current seven majors, Wu Zhu has a scholarly appearance. Among the seven majors, he is the best at communicating with outsiders and has the function of "Minister of Foreign Affairs".
"I am Wu Zhu, I don't know why you came to my Qi Ling Sect in person?"
Wu Zhu glanced at the sword in Xu Qian's hand. He could naturally tell that it was an immortal weapon, but he was not too polite to Xu Qian. He just maintained the minimum courtesy. A super sect like Qi Ling Sect, when he encountered Naturally, the enemy will not be polite to the offender. As long as it is confirmed that Xu Qian's coming is not good, Wu Zhu will take action without hesitation.
"Senior Huai Shangqing asked me to bring some immortal weapons to the Qiling Sect before he died..."
Just these few words, there was a "bang" in Wu Zhu's mind like thunder, and he couldn't hear anything after that.
