Just when Chu Liang's night attack on Yanbo City was in full swing, colorful auspicious clouds suddenly surged on the Diqiu Mountain at night, and half of the sky boiled with brilliant colors.
The audience, whose attention was completely attracted by the battle, was still a little distracted, and soon they saw a figure wearing a dark blue robe floating down from the center of the auspicious cloud.
"Taoist Cangsheng!" Someone shouted.
After hearing this, everyone raised their heads, wanting to admire the elegance of this man who was the first person on the right path in the world.
Although the Immortal Gate Conference is grand, for the Tianguan practitioners in the seventh and eighth realms, a retreat can take several years or even decades at a time, and they will not participate in this twelve-year event every time.
Existences at the level of headmasters of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths rarely appear in front of others, and it is not easy to meet them. What's more, the common Taoist priest is still the headmaster of Penglai and has not appeared in the world for many years.
Can this Immortal Sect Conference actually attract his appearance?
It's a pity that the auspicious clouds surged for a while and then retracted. The figure only appeared suddenly and landed on the top of Diqiu Mountain. Those who reacted more slowly did not see anything.
In the light curtain, the battle between Chu Liang and Du Wuhen was reaching a critical point, and everyone turned back to watch the game.
However, the arrival of Taoist Taoist Cangsheng still aroused some whispers.
The people in Diqiu Mountain stood up to greet him.
"Taoist Master Cansheng, the last time you attended the Immortal Sect Convention was more than forty years ago, right?" Immortal Jiuyi smiled and said, "Why are you so elegant this time that you sent your Dharma Body to come here?"
The person sitting next to him was dressed in a green Taoist robe with white lining, and his hair was bound by bamboo hairpins. He had mountain eyebrows and phoenix eyes, white face and temples, and a solemn expression. He looked like a rather old-fashioned middle-aged Taoist priest.
Immortal Jiuyi could naturally tell at a glance that this Taoist priest was not the Taoist body of the common people, but an illusory Dharma body. For those in the eighth level of Tianyuan, the achievement of comprehending the Great Dao takes a long time, and few of them can take time off to wander around. Most of them are in retreat all year round, and the Dharmakaya comes out when necessary.
Just like the Master Wenyuan who is busy all day long in the Shushan Wuliang Palace, it cannot be his true identity.
For these big guys, just the arrival of the Dharmakaya can already explain some importance. If he comes in person, things will be serious - most likely for a fight.
"Come to see Lin'er." Taoist Cangsheng replied: "It's his first time leaving Penglai, and the Immortal Sect Conference is quite important, so I came to see how he performed."
Hearing his unabashed reply, Immortal Jiuyi couldn't help but murmur in his heart. Everyone in the world said that Qi Lin'er was the illegitimate son of Taoist Cangsheng. Could it be true?
Otherwise, why would he not hide his love at all?
At the same time, he also said: "Qi Lin'er's performance in the Hundred Sects Competition this time was quite impressive. He had several records of single-handedly destroying the team. It is really shocking at this age, even for some of the top geniuses..."
His words stopped abruptly.
Because at this moment in the light curtain, it was the scene where Qi Lin'er jumped in front of Chu Liang and screamed, but was slapped to death by Chu Liang's backhand.
The air froze for a moment.
It was Taoist Cangsheng who spoke first: "This young man is very good. Which immortal sect is he from?"
"Chu Liang of Shu Mountain." Immortal Jiuyi replied: "His performance this time is also outstanding, but he should not be Yang Shenlong's opponent."
"This is what it should be." Taoist Cangsheng nodded slightly, as if he didn't want to talk too much about Yang Shenlong.
Immortal Jiuyi didn't say much.
He probably knew some of the internal situation in Penglai. The Yang family's status in Penglai Shangzong was just like the Lu family before Shushan. They were all immortal families with a glorious past.
His ancestors inherited the bloodline of the human race Yang Sheng, and there were three Penglai masters, the last of whom was the master of the common people.
It's just that after Taoist Cangsheng came to power, he had been deliberately reducing the influence of the Yang family in the early years, either overtly or covertly. When Yang Buju defected from Penglai to join Yinghuo, there were conspiracy theories claiming that Taoist priests were worried that the emergence of outstanding young people from the Yang family would threaten their status, so they designed to trap Yang Buju.
Excessive family power among immortal sects is indeed a stubborn problem for many sects. No matter how good the place is, if these relationships are involved, development will be affected. Many celestial beings prefer to take in orphans to avoid complicated kinship relationships.
As the Taoist cultivators of the common people became more and more advanced and their status in the sect became more and more stable, the so-called "suppression" of the Yang family also slowed down. Prodigies like Yang Shenlong and Yang Yuhu immediately appeared in this generation.
Then Immortal Jiuyi felt the huge suction force of Chu Liang, and then Chu Liang beat Yang Shenlong violently.
Taoist Cang Sheng finally seemed to be unable to bear it anymore and turned around and asked, "Do you think this is normal?"
Don't blame him for asking. At this moment, any normal person who sees this must be thinking...does Shushan and Kirigakure have some shady deal?
Did Master Wen Yuan give a gift to Immortal Jiuyi?
Chu Liang must have cheated.
Otherwise, how could he beat Yang Shenlong, who was at a higher level of cultivation, so violently?
Although Taoist Cangsheng did not doubt that he would do such a thing, Immortal Jiuyi, as the leader of Jingtian Bagua, should have an explanation for this.
But Immortal Jiuyi was also confused.
He could only feel a powerful vortex of power erupted from Chu Liang, almost sucking him dry. As for the source of this power, he didn't know.
With a quick sweep of his consciousness, he could find out that Chu Liang had taken some kind of elixir, but he didn't know what kind of elixir it was.
Facing the doubts from Taoist Cangsheng, Immortal Jiuyi's thoughts changed slightly.
Just listen to his answer: "It seems that taking some kind of elixir to enhance one's skill is a method within the rules."
As the leader of Jingtian Bagua, his words play a vital role. If he agrees it's within the rules, then there's no problem. If he also questions this elixir, then Chu Liang will be investigated.
After all, it is like an artifact. If it can seriously affect the outcome of the battle and greatly exceeds the cultivation gap, it will be investigated. After all, such things will make the competition meaningless.
Everything has a limit.
It's just that Immortal Jiuyi directly determined the nature, which means that although the effect of this elixir is strong, it is also limited, so there is no room for discussion.
As for whether this is really the case, no one else has said it more powerfully than him.
Taoist Cang Sheng said nothing after that. He seemed calm and untroubled, but in fact he was probably in a bad mood. After all, he came all the way to see Qi Lin'er's performance, only to see him slapped to death and Penglai almost eliminated.
No one will be too happy.
…
But it's not just the losers who are unhappy.
As the winner, Chu Liang was not in a good mood either.
At his instruction, Monk Pushan collected the soul crystals, raised a big bell, and found a valley near the coast to hide with Chu Liang.
Chu Liang's whole body was stiff and he couldn't move at all. Even raising his little finger was a luxury, let alone circulating his Qi. The sharp pain like a knife was raging in his body all the time, making him miserable.
It turns out that when the elixir was introduced, it was said that one should pay attention to moderation. Is this what he meant?
The moment you take the Whale Swallowing Wuji Pill, you can indeed display your cultivation at will, which is quite refreshing. But as much energy as he had overdrawn at that time, he would experience much backlash in the future. At this moment, he was bearing the price of being young and ignorant of restraint.
For Chu Liang at this time, there was two pieces of news, one good and one bad.
The good news is that Pushan is around.
Thanks to the monk who took him to escape and hide, otherwise he might have been lying there as a corpse, and he didn't know when he would be picked up.
The bad news is that Pu Shan is around.
"At first I thought you were going to die? It's amazing. You can actually defeat Yang Shenlong. No wonder you were so confident when you went there..." Pushan said.
"Ah." Chu Liang replied.
"If Yang Shenlong hadn't brazenly killed two of our troops, I guess your method would have been hidden until the battle of the Imperial City? You are really cunning..." Pushan asked again.
"Yeah." Chu Liang replied.
"I think it was Jiang Yuebai's elimination that aroused your anger. You were so angry that you became a beauty. To be honest, when you rushed into Yanbo City at the beginning, I really thought you were desperate and wanted to die for love..." Pu Good and Tao.
"Fuck you." Chu Liang replied.
"..." Pushan delivered another hearty output. Chu Liang could not resist at all, and just listened silently. Later, he no longer even felt like admiring.
It's like listening to fairy music and your ears are ringing temporarily.
After a long while, he spoke again: "Pushan, do you have a knife there?"
"I don't use that kind of weapon. I only have a knife for cutting fruit. What do you want to do?" Pushan asked.
"As long as you can give me a pleasure..." Chu Liang said with despair, "Any knife will do."
