Chapter 204 Grinding claws and grinding teeth, returning silently(1/4)
After returning to Linya Cave Mansion, Meng Zhou went straight into the quiet room and began to practice the "Unbounded Sword Domain".
In the next few days, Meng Zhou did not go out again and stayed in the cave.
The next day, April 21, something else happened.
When Yao Gu and others, together with President Pan and others, were touring an area of Qingxuan Sect, they met another group of monks who were also touring under the guidance of a guide from the inner sect of Qingxuan Sect.
Seeing the other party's overly arrogant momentum from a distance, they wanted to avoid it, but the other party took the initiative to look for him.
After the two parties started talking, they realized that this was a monk from the Alchemy Sect who had just arrived.
Although there was no direct conflict between the two parties, their words and momentum were somewhat suppressed.
This made Yao Gu and others feel quite depressed, so they immediately decided not to wander around anymore and came back directly.
For the next few days, they never went out again until Jingyun came to pick them up by boat.
Not only Yao Gu, Chairman Pan and others are like this, but Cao Lie, Song Yang and others are also like this.
When the other four sect monks arrived and traveled around the Qingxuan Sect, they had an inexplicable sense of bad taste and ridicule towards these new casual cultivators.
It was not like looking at similar people in the same realm, but rather like looking at a group of monkeys who suddenly put on decent clothes.
They may feel this way from the bottom of their hearts, or they may do it on purpose just to stimulate them.
In any case, their attitude really hurt Cao Lie, Song Yang and others.
If you can't afford to offend me, I can afford to hide.
Then they decided not to continue the tour and returned to the cave respectively, waiting for the arrival of the celebration day.
…
The day of the celebration.
April 24th, early morning.
Meng Zhou and others packed up everything, took all their personal belongings from the cave where they had lived for more than ten days, and walked out of the cave.
Outside the cave, Jing Yun was waiting in a spaceship.
After everyone boarded the ship, the spaceship quickly left this place and headed towards the top of Qingxuan Peak.
Before the spacecraft took off and flew away, everyone's eyes were looking in the direction of Linya Cave.
After leaving this time, they will not come back again.
According to Jing Yun's instructions in advance, he would send them back directly after the celebration.
No one had any objections to this, and many monks even felt like they were returning home.
Although these days in Qingxuanzong gave them a lot of shock, everyone knew that this was not their home, and that everyone was just a guest, or a guest who was not worthy of being on the stage, similar to the guest who helped Xianqing.
Along the way, everyone was silent.
It wasn't until Qingxuan Peak was in sight that Jingyun motioned for everyone to look down.
Everyone looked towards the foot of Qingxuan Peak Mountain and saw a huge building complex and a huge square, where many people were gathering.
Even though everyone could only see the slow movement of the crowd from a distance, they could fully imagine how lively it was at this moment.
Jing Yun said that almost all the Qingxuan Sect disciples would gather here and hold a grand celebration.
In the minds of most monks, this is the home of the celebration. As for the top of Qingxuan Peak, it is just a place where the sect leader, hall master, and other high-ranking figures entertain the most distinguished guests.
When these were introduced, the spacecraft had already begun to rise rapidly. After passing through layers of thick white clouds and fog, the spacecraft stopped at the edge of the large square on the top of Qingxuan Peak.
Before the spacecraft arrived at the top of Qingxuan Peak, Meng Zhou felt something in his heart and glanced somewhere in the Gangfeng Layer.
However, seeing that no one else was interested, he withdrew his gaze and, like the others, focused on the grand square at the top of the mountain.
The huge and empty square that I saw when I was attending the banquet a few days ago was already filled with many people.
And the distribution of the crowd is very clear.
In the direction of the main square with its back to the central hall, there are monks from the Qingxuan Sect. There are three people sitting in the front, and the one sitting on the right is the deacon hall master Xuan Lin who entertained them that day.
It is not difficult to guess the identities of the other two people sitting with him. I think the one in the middle is the Qingxuan Sect Master, and the one sitting on the left should be the Law Enforcement Hall Master.
What is surprising is that the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, one of the three giants of Qingxuan, is actually a female cultivator with a body that is so hot that it is about to explode.
On the left and right sides of Qingxuanzong's team, there are two teams gathered on each side. Although the number of each team is much smaller than that of Qingxuanzong's, their momentum is not weak at all.
These five distinct teams surround the large square in the middle. The positions of the five directions are just like the five vertices of an equilateral pentagon.
Without looking carefully, everyone knows that apart from the Qingxuan Sect, the other four parties are the guests of the Alchemy Sect, the Jinding Sect, the Yuling Sect, and the Hehuan Sect.
All the big guys were present, but a group of little shrimps had not yet taken their positions. Not only Cao Lie, Song Yang and others held their breath, but Jing Yun, who was leading the team, also started to trot lightly.
It looked like a student who had just sneaked to the door of the classroom after the class had officially started. While silently muttering "You can't see me" in his heart, he bent down and lowered his head, rushing to his seat with a lot of energy.
The only thing that made everyone feel at ease was that the place where they disembarked from the spaceship was at the edge of the square, and they did not need to pass through the center of the square that was surrounded by everyone.
Moreover, the monks from all sides did not pay much attention to the arrival of their group. Except for one or two monks who glanced here curiously, the others turned a blind eye.
Jing Yun led Meng Zhou and others directly to the Qingxuan Sect's team.
Although this made some monks instinctively feel inappropriate, the situation at this moment required them to break away from the Qingxuan Sect's team and go outside to form their own pole, but no one had the heart and courage to do so.
After finding a seat and sitting down, Jingyun breathed a long sigh of relief.
He asked a monk next to him in a low voice: "Brother, why did you start so early? Is it at least an hour earlier than the originally scheduled time?"
The monk helplessly whispered:
"We thought about it too, but the four of them arrived almost at the same time, as if they had made an appointment.
A barbarian from the Jinding Sect said, since everyone is here, let's stop inking, so we started directly."
Jing Yun nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He straightened his waist and looked towards the center of the empty square.
Although Meng Zhou and others next to him were very surprised, seeing this situation, they also kept their doubts in their stomachs and mingled with the crowd and watched quietly.
Regarding the celebration, everyone still has some ideas.
Of course, the Qingxuan Sect's cards are displayed here, so the scale will naturally be larger and the grade will be higher. These are all conceivable.
Some people are even thinking that they might be able to take the opportunity to listen to the sermons of several senior practitioners.
But the current situation is obviously not what they expected.
The tense atmosphere at the scene almost turned into reality, and it was not at all the festive look that a celebration should have.
Moreover, there are no decorations.
Anyway, it’s strange no matter how you look at it.
Everyone was wondering when they suddenly saw someone looking up at the sky somewhere to the side.
More and more monks are looking at the sky.
In the sky, which is only a few miles away from the top of Qingxuan Peak, is the Gangfeng layer that is always roaring and roaring year after year.
At this moment, in the area that everyone was looking at, the strong wind that was blowing regularly showed strange disturbances.
Soon, the scope of disturbance became larger and larger.
Then, a scene appeared that stunned Cao Lie, Song Yang and others.
A figure, covered in blood, flew out of the Gangfeng layer. Judging from his posture, it was clear that he had been blasted out by someone.
And not long after this figure covered in blood was blasted out of the Gangfeng layer, another burly figure over three meters tall quickly pursued him.
When he came to the figure covered in blood, he raised his leg and kicked him without any hesitation.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, and the bloody figure appeared in the sky above the square like a cannonball being discharged.
Then, there was a loud "bang" sound, hitting the smooth ground in the center of the square.
After the last kick, the figure in the sky seemed to have exhausted all his energy, and his whole body shriveled up visibly.
"Yuan Gang!"
Meng Zhou squinted his eyes and looked at it, while Cao Lie next to him couldn't help but let out a soft breath.
After saying the name, he glanced at Meng Zhou subconsciously.
After all, not long ago, this person had met "Ge Yaoshi" who also cultivated both Dharma and Body at a banquet.
At that time, this person gave them the impression that he was steady and straightforward, but now, this Yuan Gang seemed like an unsealed fierce tiger, full of evil aura and fierce power.
Yuan Gang returned to normal size and slowly flew back to the square, landing next to his opponent who was still lying on the ground, twitching and vomiting blood.
This man has a bald head, and judging from his appearance and figure, he is somewhat more fierce and burly than Yuan Gang.
Yuan Gang, who was covered in blood, leaned over and looked at him. The bald man, who was in much worse condition than him, looked at him unwillingly. The two stared at each other for a long time.
Yuan Gang then stretched out his hand, "helped" the other person up from the ground, patted him heavily on the shoulder, grinned and said: "Brother Dao, I accept it!"
The bald man who was coughing up blood spit out a mouthful of blood.
Yuan Gang was suddenly startled and asked with concern: "Brother Dao, are you okay? Can you walk back? Do you want me to help you?"
