In front of Mingyue Tower, a middle-aged Taoist priest chuckled, as if he had just realized it now. He stood there and cupped his hands casually, and said: "So you are the new flag bearer. I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you just now.
!”
After the man finished speaking, he looked Liang Yan up and down, and then said:
"The previous flag bearers of Qingyun Pavilion were all at the middle stage of the Golden elixir at the lowest level, and you have just advanced to the Golden elixir. Hey, you can't even compare to one of our branch's engravings. I'd like to give you a piece of advice. You might as well stay in the pavilion for the past ten years.
You can go into seclusion in order to feel relaxed and at ease without getting yourself into trouble, don’t you think so?”
As soon as the middle-aged Taoist priest said this, everyone in the chamber of commerce present burst into laughter, and many monks had a look of amusement on their faces.
"Who is he?"
Liang Yan glanced at this person and ignored him, but asked Luo Wu behind him.
"This person's name is Ling Tao. He is a worshiper of the Guangyuan City branch. In his early years, he tried to worship at Wuzhuang Mountain, one of the seven immortal mountains. Unfortunately, his talent was too poor and he was kicked out by others."
Luo Wu took his time and told Ling Tao's past. Although there was no expression on his face, there was an unconcealable sarcasm in his eyes.
Ling Tao was slightly startled when he heard this, and then became furious.
In his early years, he indeed traveled thousands of miles to Wuzhuang Mountain to become a disciple and seek enlightenment. Unfortunately, he failed to pass the first round of examinations and was kicked out. This incident was regarded as a great shame and humiliation by Ling Tao.
Later, he worked hard, experienced several adventures, and finally succeeded in practicing Taoism and entered the Golden Elixir. However, the fact that he was kicked out of Wuzhuangshan as a disciple was regarded by him as his biggest taboo, and he hated others to mention it the most.
Now Luo Wu mentioned the matter again in front of so many people present, but he still looked slow and calm, clearly not taking him seriously. No matter how good-hearted Ling Tao was, he couldn't help but get really angry.
"Well, Luo Wu, don't think that because you are from Qingyun Pavilion, I won't dare to touch you!"
As soon as Ling Tao finished speaking, he heard a voice speaking lightly:
"What kind of crime should a person who openly threatens the inspector of Qingyun Pavilion deserve in our Chamber of Commerce?"
"Reporting to the Liangqi Envoy, those who are dissatisfied with supervision and even openly threaten our Qingyun Pavilion should be removed from their positions and handed over to the Chamber of Commerce Reward and Punishment Hall for punishment." Luo Wu responded loudly.
"good!"
Liang Yan nodded, and as soon as he said the word "ok", the figure flashed and disappeared directly.
The next moment, he appeared in front of Ling Tao, with a layer of faint golden light flowing on his raised right hand, and the next moment he fanned out!
Ling Tao really didn't expect that the newly appointed flag bearer would actually take action as soon as he asked. Fortunately, he was also a monk in the early stage of the golden elixir. His reaction was just a little slow, and he quickly mobilized his spiritual power to condense a wave of energy outside his body.
Layers of body-protecting Qi.
"Snapped!"
There was a crisp sound, but it was Liang Yan who smashed his body-protecting Qi with his palm and slapped him directly in the face!
Ling Tao felt a surge of Buddhist Vajra power, breaking through several levels in his body and shaking his internal organs out of position.
His throat was fishy and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood with a "Wow!" and his whole body flew out to the left.
But before he could land, another figure flashed beside him, but it was Liang Yan who came up from behind and slapped Ling Tao's Tianling Cap with one hand.
With this palm strike, Ling Tao felt an extremely cunning spiritual power seeping into his meridians, sealing all his twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary meridians, and he could no longer use any of his magical powers.
Liang Yan restrained Ling Tao with one move, but the expression on his face did not change at all. He picked up Ling Tao's collar with one hand and threw him back casually.
Luo Wu had been waiting for a long time, and now his face was excited. He stepped forward to take Ling Tao and held him in his hands like a chicken, without giving any face to the people in the branch.
Everyone present took a deep breath when they saw this.
The two people who just fought were obviously at the Golden Core realm, but Ling Tao couldn't even catch Liang Yan's move. Before anyone could react, he was already captured alive by the opponent.
Of course, part of the reason here is Liang Yan's sneak attack, but this is also the most irritating part. You must know that as the master of Qingyun Pavilion, and the other party is just a worshiper of a branch, he can actually lose face in front of so many people.
To carry out a sneak attack in front of someone, it can only be said that this person has no martial ethics at all.
It's a pity that Liang Yan has never been a man of rules. At this moment, he put his hands behind his back and said calmly in front of a group of monks:
"This person threatened me in the Qingyun Pavilion in public. I have already captured him. He is temporarily under the custody of Luo Wu and will be handed over to the Hall of Reward and Punishment for punishment later."
As soon as the three words "Hall of Reward and Punishment" came out, Ling Tao, who was originally like mud, suddenly became excited again, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
At this time, an old man in Confucian robes among the crowd slowly stood up, cupped his hands towards Liang Yan and said:
"Liang Qi, please calm down. Ling Tao is outspoken and he didn't mean to be disrespectful to you just now. I hope you will not forget the mistakes of others and spare him this time."
Before Liang Yan could ask, Luo Wu had already sent a message and said: "This person's name is Xu Zhou. He is a worshiper of the Guangyuan City branch and a fellow disciple of the president Situ Shen. According to outside rumors, this person's cultivation is higher than his
Senior brother is much stronger."
Different from the introduction of Ling Tao just now, Luo Wu used voice transmission this time, and he was obviously quite afraid of this old man in Confucian robes.
Liang Yan nodded slightly, and with just a glance, he could already see that this person's cultivation was at its peak in the middle stage of the Golden Core, and he was only one step away from breaking through to the late Golden Core stage.
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Xu, nice to meet you!"
Liang Yan chuckled, cupped his hands and said, "It's not that Liang is unkind, it's just that I have just taken over the Qingyun Pavilion, and everything must be done impartially, otherwise wouldn't it be just a mouthful? This Ling Tao threatens me in the Qingyun Pavilion in public,
It is obvious to everyone that he has violated the regulations of the Chamber of Commerce. Even if Liang wants to let it go, how can he stop everyone from talking about it?"
After hearing this, the people from the chamber of commerce present could not help but roll their eyes secretly, feeling that this person was extremely shameless.
Xu Zhou didn't have much fluctuation. He just laughed and said: "Liang Qishi is really eloquent, I feel ashamed. Let me make a bet with you. If Liang Qishi wins, then
Ling Tao will be at your disposal, and you will also be given 30,000 spiritual stones as a gift. If I am lucky enough to win the Liang Qi Shi, then there is nothing more than letting Ling Tao go, how about that?"
After hearing this, Liang Yan felt a little funny in his heart.
In fact, he did not come here to completely break with the three branches. The reason why he captured Ling Tao was just because he was disrespectful to him in public, which could be regarded as establishing his own prestige.
For the others, Liang Yan didn't want to get too stiff yet, so he nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll give Fellow Daoist Xu some face. Please tell me how to gamble."
