In a blink of an eye, Taipan saw a familiar figure under a willow tree. He was eight feet tall and majestic, wearing a strong outfit. When Taipan's eyes swept over, the man also grinned. If it weren't Hu Weiyi, who else could it be?

Looking at Hu Weiyi, Taipan nodded slightly, then stretched out his right hand from the sleeve, his thumb and middle finger were put together, and the other three fingers were bent into different arcs, forming a strange mark. The next moment, Taipan's sleeve hangs down, covering the handprint under the sleeve.

...

In the Shifang Building, the welcome banquet prepared by Xu Qiudao for Taipan was on the sixth floor as usual.

Among the closed elegant rooms, there are six jade-colored tables in the Tuancheng, and each one is a cushion behind each. On the several tables, there are fleshy dew. The four corners of the elegant rooms are four embroidered screens with cranes, turtles, white deer, and green cows. Behind the screens, the swaying smoke of incense lingers, making people feel relaxed and happy, and the three souls and seven spirits are extremely peaceful. Everyone is ready and unintentionally let go of three points.

When Xu Qiudao and Taipan came in, there were already four of the six tables on the cushions behind them, and among these four, except for Xiang Lian, who was familiar with Taipan, the other three people were not even aware of Taipan.

However, since these three people were invited by Xu Qiudao together with Xiang Lian, then the status of these three people should be as low as that of Xiang Lian. Taipan guessed that these three people may be one of the people within the three of the nine major sects who are qualified to compete for the future Taoist masters.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, please." Xu Qiudao reached out to Taipan and signaled the empty position, then took a few steps to the side and sat upright on the main position. Although there were six tables arranged in a circular shape, they could still distinguish one of the main and second. For example, the position where Xu Qiudao was sitting at this time, facing north and south, was the main position of the head. With this direction as the core, Xiang Lian's position directly opposite was the second position, and the third and fourth positions were Xu Qiudao's left and right hands, and the fifth and sixth last position was naturally Xiang Lian's left and right hands.

So, after Xu Qiudao sat down, Taipan discovered that his position was on Xu Qiudao's left hand, among the six people, the third seat.

When Taipan sat down, the three people in the fairy room also showed dissatisfaction on their faces.

Of course they were dissatisfied - even though Tai Pan had already achieved the soul, he was still just a casual cultivator, alone, how could he compare to the three of them with the help of Xu Qiudao?

He has a noble background and has a broad range of friendships.

Xiang Lian is a disciple of the nine major sects, and has become a soul and is ranked second. Of course, these three people will not have any objections, but the appearance of Tai Pan makes these three people unable to sit still.

"Thank you, Brother Xu, for your kindness." Taipan looked around and guessed clearly what the three people were thinking. Then, without hesitation, sat down on Xu Qiudao's left hand. As for the thoughts of the other three people at this time and the actions they might have - hey, how could they know? Taipan was hoping that they would make some moves to kill the chicken and scare the monkey.

As for whether there will be conflicts and grudges, I don’t care too much.

When he joined Xu Qiudao's small circle, he was just trying to make profits. Not only too much, but the remaining four people were the same, except Xiang Lian.

No, maybe even Xiang Lian himself at this time might think that he had the idea of ​​not surrendering to Xu Qiudao - after all, everyone is a existence that has achieved Tiangang, and half-immortals have hope, so who is willing to give up their face and worship others as the main point?

It would be fine if they bow their heads occasionally, but if they want to lean over, why should they look far away?

"Let me introduce this fellow Taoist, this fellow Taoist Yun Xingzhou Yun."

"This time, Junior Brother Xiang and I have achieved the soul of the soul. This fellow Taoist Yun has done a lot of effort." After Taipan sat firmly, before the other three people could object, Xu Qiudao had already spoken out first and suppressed the doubts that the three people were about to express.

"That's true." As soon as Xu Qiudao finished speaking, Xiang Lian, who was opposite him, nodded immediately, "Speaking of the successful at attaining the primordial spirit this time, Senior Brother Xu and I have to owe this fellow Taoist Yun a favor."

At this moment, Taipan's brows frowned without any concealment - Xu Qiudao was putting him on the fire, his mind was rotating quickly. After only a few breaths, Taipan guessed the reason why Xu Qiudao did this.

——He could no longer withstand the pressure from the sect.

For a sect, if the opportunity a sect has, the sect will naturally support it with all its might and try its best to protect it. No one within the sect will be allowed to covet the opportunities of its own disciples. Otherwise, the cohesion of the sect will disperse, and a sect without cohesion will not be able to continue smoothly.

But not all opportunities are not caring about them. For some opportunities, they have strategic significance for the sect. At this time, the sect often takes the initiative to reach a deal with the disciple and acts with rewards or contributions, and exchanges this opportunity that is more conducive to the sect, just like at this time, Xu Qiudao and others can quickly achieve the soul.

For a sect, it is already very precious to accelerate the speed of achieving the soul, let alone Xu Qiudao and others achieved the soul in one go. The significance of such an opportunity to a sect can be imagined.

In fact, if it weren't for the God Transformation Stick that could not be seen and could not be copied, Xu Qiudaoguang handed over the God Transformation Stick to achieve the soul would be enough to make him firmly sit in the position of the future Taoist lord. In the entire Kunlun Mountains, no one is qualified to compete with him for the position of the future Taoist lord.

After all, after he handed over that method, the backbone of the soul in the entire Kunlun Mountains would naturally support Xu Qiudao to become the Taoist master.

Kunlun Mountain was extremely curious about this method. During the sect's message, it had already signaled Xu Qiudao several times openly and secretly, and asked him to report this method on his own initiative. In Kunlun Mountain, the old elders of Xu Qiudao also sent messages to Xu Qiudao from various angles, but the problem was here - Xu Qiudao's method was shameless. Once the matter of the Transformation Tab was exposed, let alone the position of the future Taoist master, it was a question whether Xu Qiudao's own path could be safe.

Similarly, Lin Lingyu and Xiang Lian in Fenglei Dao also suffered the same pressure as Xu Qiudao.

In this case, Taipan, who was the fourth person, was naturally thrown out by Xu Qiudao and Xiang Lian as a target to attract firepower. When it comes to achieving the soul, the two of them said to the sects that this method was Taipan's secret method. After spending a lot of money, Taipan successfully used this secret method, pushing the four people's merits to the realm of the soul.

As for whether there will be any loopholes in the words of the two?

Xiang Lian was already controlled by Xu Qiudao. Under Xu Qiudao's control and suggestion, all the details that Lin Lingyu and Xiang Lian said could correspond to what Xu Qiudao said. In this case, the heads of the two sects would naturally not have any doubts about the three people's statements.

So, without knowing it, Taipan became a big and round target.

"Two fellow Taoists..." Looking at Xu Qiudao and Xiang Lian who were almost speaking in unison, Tai Pan's face was also quite unfavorable.
