Chapter 159(1/2)
The storm is coming
Qin Chuan quietly looked at the information about the movements of Jiuye Valley that Wang Zining had compiled. After reading it, he frowned slightly, but he still did not forget to praise Wang Zining: "Zi Ning, thank you for your hard work these days, and the information has been sorted out in detail. Give you a piece of spirit stone and go find your uncle Su to collect it."
Wang Zining received praise from his master, which was happier than receiving the reward of the spirit stone, and hurriedly bowed to thank him.
"Also, in the past few days, the Feng Ling Bird must strengthen the monitoring of Jiuye Valley and closely monitor their every move." Qin Chuan ordered again.
"As for the order, disciple." Wang Zining solemnly took the order, then turned around and left the sect hall.
After Wang Zining retreated, Qin Chuan exerted a little force in his palm, and the paper immediately turned into powder.
There is no doubt that Fang Shaoyang could not contain his ambitions anymore. At the same time, he had contact with the three sects of Jinxiu Sect, Feiyun Sect and Tianlan Sect. He should be struggling with the forces and preparing to formally provoke the war.
Among them, the two sects of Feiyun Sect and Tianlan Sect suffered extremely serious losses in the Jiuqu Huilong Cave, and their strength is no longer the same level as Jiuye Valley. As long as Fang Shaoyang puts a little pressure, I believe that these two sects will obediently surrender.
As for the Jinxiu Sect, although the trip to Jiuqu Return to Dragon Cave was not damaged, Su Xiuxin looked like a person with principles and integrity. If Fang Shaoyang lured him for profit, he would probably join Fang Shaoyang's alliance.
What will be the goal if the four sects are hugged together?
The answer is actually very simple - in Fang Shaoyang's eyes, the Yuhua Sect has low strength. If you want to invade Yuhua Sect and take revenge on the day, there is absolutely no need to make such a big fanfare. Therefore, the alliance between these four sects must be the Kunshan Sect and the Shenfu Sect!
The two sects of Feiyun Sect and Tianlan Sect were killed in the Jiuqu Huilong Cave, and now even the leader has been replaced. Their strength has declined significantly, so there is no need to be afraid. The Jinxiu Sect has always been weaker than Jiuye Valley. Once the Kunshan Sect and the Shenfu Sect are successfully destroyed, then the original six major sects will immediately become the dominant one of the Jiuye Valley.
Qin Chuan thought of this, a cold smile appeared on his face. With Fang Shaoyang's character, he must have such a wishful thinking in his heart. Unfortunately, he had made great calculations, but he did not calculate that the Yuhua Sect could actually recruit a great master of Qi training stage, and he did not count that the Yuhua Sect, which was not visible and uncovered, was the biggest winner of the Jiuqu Return to Dragon Cave treasure hunting operation!
When I, who also entered the ninth level of Qi training, led Qiu Chengfeng, the purple-flame ginseng merchant beast, and the ice-cold ginseng merchant beast appeared in front of Fang Shaoyang at the same time, I wonder what expression would be on his face?
At that time, the scene will definitely be very interesting!
At this moment, a prompt sound from the master's system suddenly sounded in Qin Chuan's ears: "The purple flame ginseng merchant beast was successfully tamed! The Yuhua Sect obtained a third-level spirit beast! The ice cold ginseng merchant beast was successfully tamed! The Yuhua Sect obtained a third-level spirit beast!"
Qin Chuan was immediately excited when he heard the prompt. After spending a lot of spirit stones and time, these two Shenshang beasts, which are comparable to the Great Perfection of Qi Practice, finally became exclusive spiritual beasts of the Yuhua Sect!
Successfully taming Fang Shaoyang was about to move, this is God helping me!
With joy in his heart, Qin Chuan immediately left the main peak and headed straight to Yuquan Peak Spiritual Beast Garden to check.
The taming cave in the Spirit Beast Garden has indeed stopped the operation of the taming formation. The two powerful and arrogant sams and monks are lying quietly in the cave, their anger fading and their eyes are gentle. Qin Chuan tried to instruct the purple flame sams and monks in the cave, "Purple Flame, stand up."
When the purple flame ginseng merchant beast heard Qin Chuan's call, it stood up obediently, walked to the entrance of the cave, looked up at Qin Chuan, and looked at him with a gentle look in his eyes.
"Jump a few times to see." Qin Chuan issued an order again.
After all, these two ginseng and Shang beasts are comparable to the Great Perfection of Qi Training Period. Not sure they have been completely domesticated, Qin Chuan really dared not let them out rashly.
However, Qin Chuan's concern was obviously too much. After listening to Qin Chuan's order, the purple flame ginseng merchant beast really jumped obediently for a few more times. At this time, it looked more like a tame and obedient little fox, rather than the powerful monster with the flames gushing wildly and murderous intent before.
At this time, Qin Chuan completely relieved and turned on the blocking function of taming the cave, allowing the purple-flame ginseng merchant beast to come out of the cave.
Although the third-level spirit beast has not yet reached the level of spiritual intelligence, it is already quite intelligent among beasts. At this time, after the Shenshang Beast walked out of the taming cave, it immediately took easy steps and ran to Qin Chuan, rubbing two purple ears constantly on Qin Chuan's legs, showing a very intimate look.
Qin Chuan's performance was not as natural as this little spirit beast. After all, the other party was comparable to the Great Perfection of Qi Training Period! He had seen its terrifying destructive power with his own eyes, but now he is suddenly so intimate and docile, and Qin Chuan is still a little uncomfortable.
Of course, the feeling that was not used to it quickly turned into vanish under the closeness of the purple-flame ginseng merchant beast. Qin Chuan picked up the spirit beast with purple and fox-like appearance from the ground, looked left and right, and the more I looked, the more I felt that this little guy was extremely beautiful.
The taming function of the Spirit Beast Garden is indeed not covered. Dozens of spirit stones do not have white flowers! Such a powerful and fierce monster has really turned into a well-behaved and obedient spirit beast at this time!
With it and the Ice Cold Ginseng Shang Beast to drive, the strength of the Yuhua Sect will be improved!
After playing with the purple flame ginseng Shang Beast for a while, Qin Chuan let it go and let it play casually in the vast spiritual beast garden. He came to the second taming cave to watch the situation of the icy cold ginseng Shang Beast.
With the manifestation of the purple flame ginseng Shang Beast, Qin Chuan no longer has any worries about the cold ginseng Shang Beast. However, the nature of two ginseng Shang Beasts that will never stop fighting when they meet is probably not something that the Spirit Beast Garden can change. Therefore, in the future, they must allocate their residences well so that they will not fight and kill each other.
Due to this, Qin Chuan has not released the Ice Cold Ginseng Shang Beast from the cave for the time being. Let them take turns to be in a confinement to ensure peaceful coexistence, just like they did in the Jiuqu Huilong Cave.
Nine hundred miles northeast of Yuhuamen is the location of Feiyun Mountain.
Compared with Feiyu Mountain, Feiyun Mountain is not only several times higher, but also covers a vast area. The scenery on the mountain is much more beautiful than Feiyu Mountain.
However, at this moment, the beautiful Feiyun Mountain was completely shrouded in a sad atmosphere.
Originally, among the six major sects, the strength of Feiyun Sect belongs to the absolute upper class. Among all the sects, only Kunshan Sect can match Feiyun Sect, while other sects are all weaker.
However, the Jiuqu Return to Dragon Cave treasure exploration operation, together with the large number of elite disciples of the former head Cao Gongze, all died in the cave!
The sect has a vast foundation and cannot be without a master for a day. After discussion by the remaining disciples, they unanimously elected Meng Kun, the elder Meng Yang's younger brother, to succeed as the head.
Suddenly ascended to the highest position, Meng Kun had no joy in his heart.
Because his cultivation level has only reached the eighth level of Qi Training Stage. In addition to him, there are two disciples in the sect who are at the seventh level of Qi Training Stage. The rest are all within the sixth level.
Meng Kun knew in his heart that such strength was no longer enough to be among the first-class local sects, nor was it enough to protect the benefits that Feiyun Sect had already obtained.
What if other sects covet the spiritual medicine valleys occupied by Feiyun Sect?
This is really a serious problem.
After thinking about it, Meng Kun felt that the wisest choice was to take the initiative to contribute some of the benefits and surrender to a powerful sect. Only in this way can we get a chance to breathe for the Feiyun Sect, which suffered heavy damage.
It was under his mentality that Fang Shaoyang put pressure on Feiyun Sect. Feiyun Sect had almost no resistance and surrendered to Jiuye Valley.
As Meng Kun saw before, Fang Shaoyang was frivolous and arrogant. When he surrendered to his sect, he probably wouldn't have any good prospects. However, with great loss of strength, he no longer had any choice.
Just as Meng Kun was struggling with these recent worries, his disciple suddenly came to report: "Report to the head of the sect, the leader of Tianlan Sect has arrived."
"Oh? The Sect Master of Tianlan Sect has arrived? Come and welcome him quickly!" After hearing this, Meng Kun immediately rushed to the mountain gate and personally welcomed the Sect Master of Tianlan Sect into the main hall of the sect.
Xiang Tian, the former sect leader of Tianlan Sect, was like Cao Gongze, the head of Feiyun Sect, who was bullying others and plotting to murder Yuhua Sect, and eventually died and returned to the dragon cave. At this time, the sect leader of Tianlan Sect who came to Feiyun Mountain was also recently selected, named Wanjinlong.
Wan Jinlong and Meng Kun knew each other well and had a good relationship. They encountered the same situation and faced the same troubles. Therefore, they both felt a sense of mutual appreciation when they met. Meng Kun welcomed him into the hall and welcomed him warmly.
However, before the two of them could say a few words, another disciple of Feiyun Sect came to report: "Report to the head of the sect, the leader of the Jinxiu Sect is here!"
Jinxiu Sect...
Hearing these three words, a complex look appeared on Meng Kun's face. When the former leader was alive, the strength of the Jinxiu Sect was far inferior to that of the Feiyun Sect. If the Jinxiu Sect had something to do to worship the mountain, the Feiyun Sect would just be fine as long as the landlord's friendship.
But now...
Meng Kun stood up from his seat, accused Wan Jinlong of guilt, and then ordered his disciples: "From the leader to welcome the visit of Sect Master Su!"
Before Meng Kun walked out, Wan Jinlong also stood up and said, "President Meng, Wan will also go with you to welcome Master Su!"
Meng Kun knew in his heart that Jiuye Valley and Jinxiu Sect, which were not traumatized in Jiuqu Huilong Cave, have become leaders of the six major sects in the past. Like Feiyun Sect, if you want to have a stable life in the future, you must be extra respectful to these two sects.
The two walked out of the hall side by side and respectfully welcomed Su Xiuxin's arrival. Unlike their respect and enthusiasm, Su Xiuxin's expression was much colder. Meng Kun and Wan Jinlong dared to be picky, and they still politely welcomed Su Xiuxin into the hall.
"Come here, hurry up and serve tea for Sect Master Su!" Meng Kun immediately shouted after entering the hall. But he knew that as soon as his voice fell, a burst of laughter suddenly came from outside the hall: "Master Meng, how about having good tea for this valley master together?"
Meng Kun and Wan Jinlong's faces changed when they heard the voice - Fang Shaoyang, the initiator of this four sect gathering, arrived!
What made Meng Kun feel awkward was that Fang Shaoyang's arrival did not report the disciples who guarded the mountain. It was obvious that Fang Shaoyang did not follow the rules and came up the mountain privately.
Originally, it was a taboo to break into someone’s mountain between sects and sects. However, now Feiyun Sect and Jiuye Valley are no longer on the same level. Without equal strength, they are not qualified to seek respect from each other. Therefore, although they knew that Fang Shaoyang had broken into the mountain, Meng Kun did not dare to show any unhappiness. Instead, they looked respectful on their faces and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Meng Kun, the leader of Feiyun Sect, please see Master Fang Gu!"
Seeing this, Wan Jinlong, the sect leader of Tianlan Sect, walked quickly to Meng Kun and bowed with him: "Wan Jinlong, the sect leader of Tianlan Sect, please see Master Fang Gu!"
Before the Jiuqu Huilong Cave incident, although the six major sects had a slight gap in strength, they were restrained by each other, and the leaders of all sects got along equally. When they met, they just held their fists and greeted each other, and no one would give such a big gift to each other.
But now, the head of Feiyun Sect and the leader of Tianlan Sect both bent down in front of them and lowered their heads. Fang Shaoyang's sense of comfort and joy is indescribable.
He waved his hand and said to Meng Kun and Wan Jinlong: "Everyone is the supreme of the same sect, why should you be polite? No gifts, no gifts!" He said that, but his tone clearly revealed the old-fashioned meaning.
Meng Kun and Wan Jinlong were really unhappy, but they did not dare to show it at all.
Su Xiuxin looked at this scene from the side and couldn't help but say sourly: "Master Fang Gu is full of spring breeze. It seems that he has been quite comfortable recently!"
"Hahahaha, Master Su, your Jinxiu Sect Jiuqu Huilong Cave and his party have obtained a large number of treasures, and they are all in their hands. It should be equally comfortable, right?" Fang Shaoyang could certainly hear the sourness in Su Xiuxin's words, but he didn't feel angry at all, and his mood was even more comfortable.
Su Xiuxin said in her heart: "I want to take out the things and exchange them for foundation-building pills. Didn't you snatch them away?"
Of course, Su Xiuxin dared to say this kind of thing openly and did not dare to say it openly. After all, Jiuye Valley is already stronger than Jinxiu Sect, and now he has also won Feiyun Sect and Tianlan Sect into his camp, so Jinxiu Sect will never be able to compete. This is also the main reason why Su Xiuxin agreed to form an alliance with Fang Shaoyang.
Of course, although Su Xiuxin is a woman, she has been struggling in the world of immortal cultivation for so many years and is not at the mercy of others. Although she agreed to form an alliance with Jiuye Valley, she kept secretly thinking in her heart that she must find an opportunity to speak with the Kunshan Sect. As long as the two sides can unite, they can definitely suppress Fang Shaoyang's arrogance.
Su Xiuxin coughed lightly and changed the topic: "Master Fang Gu, I wonder what is important to call us here today?"
Fang Shaoyang smiled yin and said, "Everyone is precious, and the master of this valley is not going to beat around the bush. Three days ago, the leader of the Shenfu Sect, Pan Yulong, sent someone to the valley to ask for the spirit stones. The master of this valley repeatedly explained to the other party that there was something wrong in the valley for several days and it cost a lot. He really couldn't get enough spirit stones to pay the other party's spiritual medicine money. However, the person of the Shenfu Sect was extremely arrogant. Not only did he insult the master of this valley, but he also threatened to unite with the Kunshan sect to destroy my Jiuye Valley. This is really outrageous! Instead of waiting for others to come to the door, it is better to take action. You have become allies with Jiuye Valley, and you probably won't sit idly by, right?"
Su Xiuxin, Meng Kun and Wan Jinlong looked at each other and saw the suspicion in each other's eyes.
This matter is indeed strange. The Divine Talisman Sect also suffered heavy damage in the Jiuqu Huilong Cave. Except for the sect leader Pan Yulong, almost all the other elites were lost. In this case, how could the Divine Talisman Sect not knowing how to live or die and provoke Jiuye Valley?
As long as Pan Yulong is not a fool, he will never do this!
As the helmsman of one of the six major sects, everyone knows that Pan Yulong is not a fool. Then the answer is very clear - it must be Fang Shaoyang who is making up the facts!
None of them guessed correctly. Fang Shaoyang was indeed making up.
Three days ago, the Shenfu Gate went to Jiuye Valley to ask for the spirit stones that had promised to sell the century-old spiritual medicine. However, the process of the matter was completely different from what Fang Shaoyang said.
Although the elder of the Shenfu Sect was ordered by the head to come to ask for debts, the tragic experience of the sect made him feel unconfident. He was very humble and polite in his words.
However, Fang Shaoyang shamelessly offered a condition, requiring Pan Yulong to send his daughter to Jiuye Valley and practice the dual cultivation technique with him before he was willing to pay the number of spirit stones agreed upon.
After the elder of the Divine Talisman Sect returned to report, Pan Yulong was very angry. He had a daughter named Pan Yunrong. Although she was only nineteen years old, she was extremely talented in the art of talismans. Pan Yulong loved her like the flesh in her heart.
In order to build his beloved daughter into a talent, Pan Yulong spared no expense to provide him with the cultivation of the talisman technique passed down from generation to generation.
And Pan Yunrong is indeed successful. At a young age, she has become an intermediate talisman maker.
Pan Yulong put all his hopes on his beloved daughter, and he was full of hope that she could carry forward the foundation of the divine talisman. How could he give his beloved daughter to such a despicable villain like Fang Shaoyang!
In fact, he knew in his heart that Fang Shaoyang's courage to be so arrogant now was nothing more than a serious loss in the strength of the Divine Talisman Sect and it was difficult to compete with Jiuye Valley. But Pan Yulong couldn't swallow this breath no matter how much, and he was really worried that Fang Shaoyang would really attack his beloved daughter. After thinking about it, among the six major sects, only the Kunshan Sect and the Shenfu Sect had a good relationship. Why not go and find Ding Hang, the head of the Kunshan Sect, and discuss countermeasures together.
