"Ah--"
A sharp bird song echoed in the air, and a gray shadow passed by, landing on the hillside in the blink of an eye.
Four disciples from Thunder Castle were sitting around here, gathering to discuss matters.
The leader is naturally the top disciple of Thunder Castle, Du Wuhen.
He is long and thin, with a dark complexion, and his limbs are stretched out like an ape's. His body shape is quite strange. At this moment, he stood up with his hands almost above his knees. He raised his arms and let the gray shadow shrink in the air, then rest on his arms.
"Yanbo City is full of people from Penglai, Shushan cannot be there." He said in a deep voice.
Only then did he see clearly that it was a spiritual bird whose body was dark blue. Its feathers have mysterious patterns and its eyes are as smart as a human being. Even though it is only the size of an ordinary bird, it still carries a proud majesty.
It was Du Wuhen's beast, the Blue Wind Black Bird.
Beast-controlling sects like Thunder Castle will be weakened to a certain extent in the Immortal Sect Conference. Because of the regulations of the Immortal Sect Conference, only beast masters with a soul contract connection can participate in the competition.
The soul contract is a method used by the beast master to control the beasts. It is somewhat similar to how the soul master imposes restrictions on the souls under his command in order to make them obey orders. The slight difference is that the pros and cons of this connection are imposed on both parties.
As long as the beast master dies, the beast master imprinted with the soul contract will also die. If the beast master dies, the master's soul will also be hurt.
The cultivation bases of both sides complement each other, and when one side makes a breakthrough in cultivation base, the other side will benefit.
There is nothing wrong with this rule in the first place. If it weren't for the soul contract restrictions, everyone would just bring in the mountain-suppressing beasts to compete.
But the problem is that most of the spirit beasts that Thunder Castle's beast masters carry with them are not controlled through soul contracts.
Because the soul bonds that a person's soul can hold are limited, usually three, and as the cultivation level increases, there can be up to five or six.
The body of the beast master will not be able to withstand any more.
This thing cannot be released at will. It can only be freed when the beast master dies. But if a beast master dies, the master beast master will also be injured.
Therefore, the beast master will be extremely cautious when branding soul contracts. Only spirit beasts with up to standard talent and combat power will enter into soul contracts with them.
The soul contract has restrictions on cultivation. Usually, the beast cannot be more than half a realm higher than the master, or at most one realm, otherwise it will not be successful.
Therefore, Thunder Castle relies more on emotional connection with the beasts, that is, giving the spirit beasts enough resources to help them fight, just like family and friends, rather than relying on traditional means such as soul contracts.
For a spirit beast with a long lifespan, it does not mind spending decades accompanying a talented practitioner to grow up in exchange for resources that it may not be able to find for hundreds of years.
This is one of the reasons why Thunder Castle is more powerful than any previous beast-controlling sect.
For example, Huang Ling'er once commanded a dragon-toothed mammoth to crush the young master of the Flame Demon Valley to death, but that dragon-toothed mammoth was actually her father's beast, and it just followed her as a pet. Under the rules of the Fairy Gate Conference, she couldn't bring him in at all.
Fortunately, Thunder Castle also attaches great importance to the cultivation of the beast masters themselves. Even if the core disciples do not have beast masters, their combat power is still not low. This is why they have achieved good results in previous immortal sect conferences.
And they also have high hopes for this Immortal Sect Conference.
The three core disciples are all talented people and have a great reputation among the younger generations of the immortal sects. Their beast control has also been cultivated since childhood, and they are full of both combat power and tacit understanding.
Du Wuhen's Blue Wind Black Bird, Wei Tiangao's Purple Lightning Turtle, and Deng Yixiao's Five Fire God Apes are all spiritual beasts with extremely powerful bloodlines. They are all entrenched next to their masters at the moment, looking quite lively.
…
"We have searched all the way from the north coast to this point. Yanbo City is the forbidden area of Penglai. If Shushan has not been eliminated, it should be on that plain." Du Wuhen said.
"The Shushan sect should not be so bad." Deng Yixiao thought: "Jiang Yuebai, Chu Liang, and Xu Ziyang are all top-notch in strength, and the possibility of dying on landing is very small."
"I think so too, but this hilly plain is so vast, it's not easy to search for them." Wei Tian said with a frown.
"Be patient, there are still six days, and you will find it eventually." Du Wuhen said calmly.
"Why do we have to find people from Shushan? Can't we just advance ourselves?" Huang Ling'er on the side asked out of boredom.
She had been running away from home before, and Thunder Castle Lord Huang Hanshan also spent a lot of effort to find her back. He also persuaded her nicely and agreed to let her come to the Immortal Sect Conference, and then he allowed her to stay here obediently. I practiced at home for a while.
Anyway, this Immortal Sect Conference in Thunder Castle has made it clear that there are three belts and one. Apart from these three core disciples, the rest of the people are not better than Huang Ling'er in cultivation. It is better to let my daughter come over and experience it.
Although Huang Ling'er is rebellious, she is not weak in strength, because she is quite dedicated to her daily practice. After all, I have always wanted to make a career in the world. How can I do it if I don’t have a high enough level of ethics?
And her beast control is also powerful enough.
The big black dog Huahua she was holding in her arms and teasing at this time was the only beast she had formed a soul contract with. It was the legendary snow-capped mountain dog that could track thousands of miles, understand yin and yang, and had its own magical powers. .
Guo Zhanfeng's Bai Xue from Ye Dao Clan is also from the same sect as the Snow Mountain Divine Dog. However, it is a simple pet and has not concluded a soul contract, so it cannot be brought in when attending the Immortal Clan Conference.
"Eliminating Shushan this term is our most important task." Du Wuhen explained: "As long as Shushan does not enter the top ten this term, it will be removed from the Nine Heavens position. By then, this position will inevitably be replaced by To fill the gap among the ten sects, Shenglong Academy has no intention of doing so. The only candidates are Thunder Castle and Taotie City, and our previous results have been better than those of Taotie City."
"In other words, as long as Shushan is eliminated, we will have a high chance of being promoted to Jiutian." Deng Yixiao added with a serious look.
They all know the key to this mission, and it can even be said that they are responsible for the future destiny of Thunder Castle, so they are under great pressure.
On the contrary, Huang Ling'er, the daughter of the castle owner, didn't know much about this.
Huang Hanshan had doted on his daughter since she was a child, and usually did not force her to interfere in the sect's affairs. Recently, the relationship between father and daughter was very tense. He knew that forcing the request would be counterproductive, so he told the three brothers to enter the virtual realm before explaining it to her.
After hearing what the three senior brothers said, Huang Ling'er's expression became slightly more serious, no longer so playful and smiling.
Although she is naughty, she also knows the pros and cons. Because I had dealt with Chu Liang before, I didn't really want to target Shushan, but now that I know about it, I no longer object.
Friendship belongs to friendship, and interests belong to interests.
If we talk about it seriously, Huang Hanshan and Xu Bashan of the Jing Gang are brothers. Xu Bashan and Chu Liang have also been sworn sworn brothers. The two of them can still talk about brothers.
But in the face of the future of the sect, these favors must be abandoned.
Huang Ling'er stood up and said seriously: "Okay, I will work hard with you!"
Before he finished speaking, Huahua next to him suddenly jumped up and barked twice: "Ouch -"
Immediately following, the remaining three beasts rose up at the same time.
Huang Ling'er heard the sound and felt something bad, so she immediately jumped to dodge, but it was too late.
Bang——
A hand suddenly emerged from the ground. It was not big but very powerful and grabbed Huang Ling'er's ankle.
Immediately afterwards, a short figure with a ferocious smile emerged from the ground, and punched Huang Ling'er's figure to pieces!
boom!
…
"Little junior sister!"
The three brothers from Thunder Castle all became furious.
To actually ask someone to steal the little junior sister in front of them, this is simply a shame and humiliation, how can they endure it?
Du Wuhen was the first to take action. His Qingfeng Blackbird spun in the air and instantly turned into a huge black sickle, almost as tall as his body. He held it in his hand like a god of death.
"Come and die!" He shouted loudly, waving the sickle, and instantly evoked gusts of black wind!
"Haha!" The visitor laughed.
The one who suddenly killed Huang Ling'er from underground was actually a child who looked to be in his early ten years, with a crazily evil smile. Facing Du Wuhen's scythe, he flipped up his kick and actually came face to face with the scythe's edge!
clang--
There was a sound of gold and iron, and the child's figure leaped away from him, turned over and landed on the ground.
The only child among the hundreds of sects competing for hegemony is naturally Qi Lin'er from Penglai.
After he landed, his left leg twisted slightly, and there was a shallow blood mark on his calf. Both sides were a little surprised by this collision.
Du Wuhen was surprised that the weapon transformed from his Qingfeng Black Bird was so sharp that it did not directly cut off the opponent's limbs.
Qi Lin'er, on the other hand, had almost never suffered any bloody injuries since she was a child, so she was quite surprised to see that this weapon could actually break through her own defenses.
But he was not allowed to think too much as the other two attacks followed.
Wei Tiangao's Purple Lightning Turtle was so fast that when it moved, it was like a bolt of lightning, and it had already hit Qi Lin'er. Before he could react, he felt a flash of light in front of his eyes. He raised his left arm to block it, and then he felt pain.
The purple electric turtle's fangs were already embedded a few inches into his forearm, and the five fire apes roared towards him from the other side, bringing with them blazing demonic fire.
Seeing this, Qi Lin'er laughed strangely: "Haha! There are many of you, so I won't fight you. I'll give you a soul crystal as a toll!"
After saying that, he turned over, drilled, slashed with his right palm, and landed fiercely on the head of the Purple Lightning Turtle. With a bang, it peeled off itself and brought out a stream of blood. The drops of blood splashed out were actually golden!
"Want to leave?" Du Wuhen turned his hand and hooked.
laugh--
The fierce wind instantly overturned the ground, and countless wind blades danced wildly, revealing Qi Lin'er's figure.
It's just that his escape speed was equally fast, and the three of them followed him closely. In a blink of an eye, they were already at the outskirts of Yanbo City, and the towering city walls could be seen in the distance.
"Catch me if you're brave enough!" Qi Lin'er shouted.
"Stop! Stop chasing." Du Wuhen waved his hand and suddenly stopped the two junior brothers.
"What's wrong?" Wei Tian asked anxiously: "I'm going to catch that kid soon!"
"He is from Penglai." Du Wuhen said solemnly.
"What happened to Penglai?" Wei Tian said angrily: "He killed the junior sister, shouldn't we take revenge?"
"Our most important goal this time is Shushan, and we shouldn't cause unnecessary problems." Du Wuhen said.
"But..." Wei Tian glanced down at Yanbo City over there, still feeling unwilling.
"Second senior brother..." Deng Yixiao also advised at this time: "Penglai is very powerful. Rather than confronting us head-on, we may not be happy, but we may miss this important event. Why don't we go to Shushan to deal with it first, and then come back to avenge our little junior sister?" Late."
"Humph." Wei Tian glared at the city wall over there and said, "Then just write down this account for now and come back to ask for it in two days."
