Xu Ziyan understood at this time that the competition between the nine major sects was also fierce. Not only was there fierce competition between the four alliances of Danzong and the two alliances of Shenji Sect and Star Territory Sect, but also among themselves.

Not peaceful.

However, Canglan Sect, Luo Tian Sect and Tianxiang Sect are on the level of self-preservation. They are facing the pressure from both sides of the four alliances of Dan Sect and the two alliances of Shenji Sect and Star Territory Sect.

This is only at the level of the nine major sects. There are also small and medium-sized sects that belong to the nine major sects. The competition between them may be even more intense.

"Between the three sects of Canglan Sect, Luo Tian Sect and Tian Xiang Sect, the strength of Cang Lan Sect and Luo Tian Sect is about the same, and Tian Xiang Sect is slightly weaker. However, generally speaking, the current life of Cang Lan Sect, Luo Tian Sect and Tian Xiang Sect is not

It’s been a good time.”

"Why?"

"The four Dan Sects, Star Territory Sect and Shenji Sect all intend to expand their sphere of influence. Especially after the leader of the Star Territory Sect broke through to the peak of the late Immortal Lord, he was even more ambitious. He once threatened that there should only be six major sects in Shangyuan Continent.

Sect, not the nine major sects.

His intention is very obvious, which is to squeeze Canglan Sect, Luo Tian Sect and Tianxiang Sect out of the nine major sects, and then make these three sects dependent on their six major sects. In this way, they can get more cultivation resources

."

"Why should he?" Xu Ziyan raised his eyebrows.

"Rely on strength!" Cheng Wanli said calmly.

Xu Ziyan's expression stagnated, and then she became a little frustrated. She realized that her current strength was not able to help the sect. Things at that level were not something that a monk of her own strength could intervene in.

"Then this celebration of the nine major sects..." Xu Ziyan looked at Cheng Wanli with some worry.

Cheng Wanli sighed softly and said: "Perhaps the Star Territory Sect will take action, but I think the three sect leaders of the Canglan Sect, Luo Tian Sect and Tianxiang Sect will also have their own plans. Zi Yan, don't worry about it.

"

"Master, that Wanjian Sect..."

Cheng Wanli's expression turned gloomy, he was silent for a while and said: "Zi Yan. Actually, you shouldn't resent Wan Jian Sect too much. They had no choice but to treat their master like that.

The Wanjian Sect was originally a sect dependent on the Star Territory Sect. If they had not done that, they would probably have been destroyed by the Star Territory Sect. Therefore, after experiencing this incident, the Wanjian Sect wanted to express its support for the Star Territory Sect.

Loyalty has now become a minion of the Star Territory Sect and has lost himself, which makes his teacher very sad.

Although the sect was saved in this way, the sect lost its development and independence. It will always be the minion of the Star Territory Sect. It is unknown when it will be sold out by the Star Territory Sect, and it is unknown how it will die.

Ziyan, it was a wise choice for you not to go to Wanjian Sect. With your temperament, if you go to Star Territory Sect, you may follow the same path as Master."

"Then Master's wife..."

Cheng Wanli shook his head sadly and said, "She...is no longer here!"

"No more? Master. What do you mean..."

"Yeah!" Cheng Wanli nodded sadly.

The room fell silent for a while, then Cheng Wanli whispered: "I just went back secretly. I stayed in front of Xiang Ning's grave for one night, and then left."

Cheng Wanli's voice was somber. Xu Ziyan felt very uncomfortable, and couldn't help but call softly: "Master..."

"Zi Yan, Xiang Ning has a disciple, and that is her only disciple. You know that Wanjian Sect is just a third-rate sect in Shangyuan Continent, and Xiang Ning is only an Immortal Emperor. Although her disciples are older than You are much older, but now you are still in the early stage of Immortal Emperor. In the future, your cultivation level will definitely surpass hers.

Master, it is not convenient for me to come forward, as that will bring disaster to Wanjian Sect. If possible, you should take more care of her in the future, she can also be regarded as your senior sister."

"Yes, Master, what is the name of Senior Sister?"

"Her name is Chen Zuihua."

There was another silence between the two people. Finally, Cheng Wanli said in a deep voice: "I will stay with you for a while. I want to see who is assassinating my disciple."

Xu Ziyan pondered for a moment and said: "No need, Master. With you by my side, the person who assassinated me may not dare to come out. Besides, Master can't accompany me for the rest of my life. Some things will eventually need to be faced by me alone."

Cheng Wanli pondered for a while and said slowly: "That's fine! If you have this kind of belief, you will definitely go far on the path of cultivating immortality."

"Master, if you meet Shanhun in the future, tell him that I came to Shangyuan Continent."

"Well!" Cheng Wanli raised his eyebrows and said, "I also want to meet this strange man."

"Master, where will you go after you leave here?"

Cheng Wanli's face darkened and he said: "I will go to the Star Territory Sect, and I will use my life's energy to bring down the Star Territory Sect."

After hearing what Cheng Wanli said, Xu Ziyan showed a trace of worry between his eyebrows. Cheng Wanli waved his hand and said:

"You don't have to worry about me. I'll be fine. I've been fighting against the Star Territory Sect for millions of years, and I'm still living well. Zi Yan, now that you have reached the Immortal King stage, I will stay here for a few days. I will teach you the immortal way for a few days."

"Thank you Master!"

Xu Ziyan's face showed joy, she raised her hand and set up the immortal formation with sixteen formation flags, and began to listen respectfully to the master's preaching.

Wearing a purple robe, his face was sharp and angular, and his expression was filled with a touch of pride. He stretched out a strong hand, gently stroked Liu Huaping's hair, and said lightly:

"A disciple of Yijianfeng of Canglan Sect, number one on the king-level list, and an elixir master? He has some qualifications, but as Huaping's sister, there is no need to deliberately befriend her, right?"

"What's my identity? I'm just a daughter of my father. What's more, Sister Ziyan's cultivation is much better than mine, so I should respect her."

Jin Ge glanced at Liu Huaping lovingly and said with a smile: "What's wrong with my daughter? You are the granddaughter of the head of the Dan Sect. In my eyes, you are the most qualified disciple of the Dan Sect. Your brother is not as good as you. Although his cultivation He is higher than you now, but you will definitely surpass him in the future."

Jin Ge took a step back, picked up a cup of tea from the table and brought it to Liu Huaping. Liu Huaping took it with both hands and smiled sweetly at Jin Ge:

"Brother Jin, you are the third generation disciple of the master of the Qi Sect and the grandson of the master. You hold a high position, but you only pity Huaping. With brother Jin in Huaping's life, there will be no regrets. But... don't always talk about my elder brother. , I am his sister after all, and he treats me very well..."

"I got it!" Jin Ge smiled gently: "I'm just talking in front of you, and I won't embarrass you outside. By the way, I heard that Hua Guren, the son of the leader of the Fu Sect, also came here. ?”

"Hehe..." Liu Huaping said with a smile, "Yes, he is pursuing Sister Zhu again."

"Haha!" Jin Ge laughed twice and said: "I heard that the Jingxin Pill that Uncle Zhu will auction was taught to Uncle Zhu by Xu Ziyan. I wonder if it is true?"

"Of course it's true. Sister Zhu told me personally."

"Oh?" Jin Ge said with interest on his face: "This Xu Ziyan seems to be really into something!"

"Of course, and Sister Ziyan has no airs at all, she is so kind! Unlike you."

"What's wrong with me?" Jin Ge looked puzzled.

Liu Huaping wrinkled her nose cutely and said, "Although you are approachable to others, you always have a hint of arrogance unconsciously, which is not good."

"Me?" Jin Ge said with a smile: "Well, if I have the chance, I would like to meet this Xu Ziyan and see why she lets me take a look at the screen so high."

Liu Huaping frowned slightly and said: "Sister Ziyan seems to be in seclusion in her room these days. It's not good for us to disturb her. I will take you to see her when she comes out of seclusion."

"Yes!" Jin Ge nodded. He reached out and stroked Liu Huaping's hair and said, "But you are not allowed to compare me with her in the future. How can I, a man, compare with a woman?"

"What's wrong with the woman?" Liu Huaping opened Jin Ge's hand. Her face darkened: "We women are not as good as you men? Can't we even compete with you?"

Jin Ge's face immediately wrinkled, looking like she was filled with regret. Liu Huaping had a strong temperament and never believed that women were inferior to men. She usually said anything good, but as soon as someone mentioned this, she immediately became angry.

Will fall out.

Jin Ge knew that he had accidentally violated Liu Huaping's taboo, so he immediately apologized and said with a smile: "Huaping, I don't mean what you think."

"What's that like?" Liu Huaping still didn't give Jin Ge a good look.

"What I mean is that I can't compare with that Xu Ziyan, didn't you say that? She is only one hundred and eighty-six years old and is already in the Immortal King stage. Such qualifications are much better than mine. I won't let you take her.

Compared with me, I feel that I can't compare with her."

"Really?" Liu Huaping raised his eyebrows, with a smile in his eyes.

"Of course it's true." Jin Ge said as if he was swearing.

Liu Huaping knew in her heart that Jin Ge was trying to make her happy, but she was still happy, so she smiled and said:

"That's pretty much it!"

Jin Ge was relieved and never dared to mention Xu Ziyan again. He took out a guqin from the storage ring and said with a smile:

"Sister Huaping, senior brother will play the piano for you."

The sound of the clanging piano and cong-cong came out from the courtyard, and came to another courtyard like flowing water. Under a tree, two people sat opposite each other, one was Zhu Danyun, and the other was Hua Guren, the great disciple of the Fu Sect.

Zhu Danyun looked back, with a look of envy on his face, and said softly: "Senior Brother Jin's piano plays really nicely."

Hua Guren's face showed disdain and he said lightly: "Sister Danyun, let me play the flute for you."

After saying this, he took out a jade flute from the storage ring, put it up to his lips, and started playing it in a whimpering voice.

Zhu Danyun looked stunned, and suddenly pointed at Hua Guren, who was playing the flute, with his slender jade finger and said: "You two grown men..."

Liu Huaping, who was in another courtyard, suppressed a smile on his face and said to Jin Ge, who was playing the flute: "The flute player must be Senior Brother Hua. You two grown men are playing the flute together..."

Immediately afterwards, two women's silver bell-like laughter came from the two courtyards, and the sound of the piano and flute suddenly stopped...
