"Oh? So there is still a dynasty?" Fang Yu frowned slightly and asked in surprise.
He originally thought that every city in the southern border area existed independently, but he did not expect that these cities were also affiliated with larger forces.
"That's right, the Eternal Dynasty in the Southern Territory... Headmaster Fang doesn't know about it?" Xu Jialu was even more surprised and asked.
"I'm from out of town, so I really don't know." Fang Yu replied.
"Then you have to remember now. With the Yuhua Sect's recent reputation and commotion, the emperor may want to invite you to meet him soon," Xu Jialu said.
"Can I not go?" Fang Yu frowned.
"Uh... Of course you can, but in this case... you may be remembered by the current emperor, and you will be subject to many restrictions from now on." Xu Jialu said, and took another look around where there was no one around, even if he used his spiritual consciousness to transmit the voice, They all lowered their voices and said, "The emperor today is known for his narrow-mindedness and retribution. It is best not to offend him, otherwise the consequences will be serious."
"Currently, in the southern border area, is the dynasty more powerful or the sect?" Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked.
"This... it's hard to compare, but the only two first-level immortal sects in the southern border area currently recognize the existence of the Eternal Dynasty, especially the Tiangong... which has a close relationship with the Eternal Dynasty." Xu Jialu said, "Because the current emperor The emperor and the prince... are all inner disciples of Tiangong. Especially the prince, it is said that he has been accepted as a direct disciple by Zhenren Zhiyun of Tiangong, so he has a bright future."
With that said, Xu Jialu stood up and poured tea for Fang Yu.
Fang Yu picked up the gold teacup and took a sip.
"Does Wandao Pavilion have any contact with the dynasty?" Fang Yu asked.
Xu Jialu shook his head and said: "Wandao Pavilion has always been an independent organization, but it has a greater influence on monks and is also regarded as an official organization in many places."
"The dynasty is the highest power that governs a region, and Wandao Pavilion... is said to be spread all over the sky and stars, providing services to monks of all races, so... there is no connection between the two. However, on the territory of the Eternal Dynasty, Wandao Pavilion is still I am more respectful and will abide by some basic requirements."
"What about the major sects in the southern border area? Are they under the jurisdiction of the Eternal Dynasty?" Fang Yu asked with narrowed eyes.
"This is the same as what I said before. It depends on the situation." Xu Jialu said slowly, "Generally speaking, most sects will give face to the Eternal Dynasty because the dynasty is extremely powerful and occupies the entire southern border."
"If I have to say it... Immortal sects of level two or above actually don't need to look at the face of the Eternal Dynasty."
"However, the situation in the southern border area is rather special, because of the relationship between the Eternal Dynasty and the Tiangong... Even the second-level immortal sects do not dare to openly confront the Eternal Dynasty, and they have to give some face."
After listening to Xu Jialu's words, Fang Yu had a basic understanding of the distribution of forces in the southern border area.
The Eternal Dynasty is the largest force in the southern border area. Basically every city is affiliated to the Eternal Dynasty and has unified jurisdiction.
The Wandao Pavilion is an independent existence and has little to do with the Eternal Dynasty.
As for the major sects, they are also independent, but as long as they are within the southern boundary, they must abide by the rules of the Eternal Dynasty.
Unless... you are a second-level or higher-level sect, you are qualified to challenge the Eternal Dynasty.
Of course, no one dares to do this at present.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, Master Fang. I invited you here today mainly because of..." Xu Jialu raised his head and smiled.
"For the Holy Maiden of Yaochi?" Fang Yu asked with a raised brow.
"She, she is a saint? Yaochi Holy Land...this name is a bit unfamiliar." Xu Jialu said excitedly and doubtfully.
Fang Yu lowered his head to drink tea and ignored him.
"Master Fang, do you think I... still have a chance?" Xu Jialu looked at Fang Yu and asked.
Fang Yu raised his eyes and looked at Xu Jialu's expectant expression, nodded and said: "It should be possible, but I don't count."
"Alas." Xu Jialu sighed and said, "It's such a bad fate. Ever since I took a look at her today, her face keeps popping up in my mind... I really can't help myself."
"I don't know when I can see her again..."
"correct!"
Xu Jialu's expression suddenly changed again, he stared at Fang Yu and asked: "Master Fang, isn't your Yuhua Sect recruiting disciples?"
Fang Yu looked at Xu Jialu and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I haven't joined any sect yet, so I can choose to join your Yuhua Sect now, right?" Xu Jialu stood up excitedly and asked, "I think you, Master Fang, don't have any requirements for recruiting disciples. I should be able to pass."
your……"
Fang Yu shook his head and said, "If you want to enter the Yuhua Sect, you must pass the assessment."
"...Why?" Xu Jialu asked.
"Because you are too old and you are no longer a talent." Fang Yu said bluntly.
"Uh...I am willing to accept the assessment." Xu Jialu said.
"Okay, then you come to Yuhua Sect tomorrow and I will personally assess you." Fang Yu said.
"Can we start the assessment now?" Xu Jialu asked.
"No, I've been sitting all day today and I'm a little tired." Fang Yu replied.
"...Okay." Xu Jialu was speechless for a moment and said, "Then I will go to the Yuhua Sect to find you tomorrow! I will definitely pass the assessment and become a glorious member of the Yuhua Sect!"
Fang Yu smiled and said nothing more.
After sitting for a while, Fang Yu was about to leave.
When sending Fang Yu out, Xu Jialu said: "It's a pity that my father is out, otherwise he would definitely have to meet you, Master Fang."
"Next time, there will be plenty of opportunities." Fang Yu said.
"Then...see you tomorrow." Xu Jialu said as he escorted Fang Yu to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, cupping his fists.
Fang Yu nodded and left the city lord's mansion.
Xu Jialu looked at Fang Yu's leaving figure, turned around and walked towards the city lord's palace.
"Beauty, wait for me, I'm coming!" Xu Jialu shouted excitedly.
…
Before leaving Tianlong City, Fang Yu visited Wandao Pavilion again.
"Master Fang, I have already made inquiries for you. If you want to find someone within the Datianchenxing area, the cost per day is an astronomical figure." Mr. Ge said, "Even if it is the one you bought for us last time,
One hundred magical talismans may only be enough for three days."
"No problem, I will bring you enough magical talismans tomorrow to keep the missing person notice alive for a month." Fang Yu said.
"One month..." Mr. Ge was stunned.
"If you help me find someone, I will give you five hundred more." Fang Yu said.
"Master Fang, if this is really the case... I'm afraid you will have to knock down the value of the divine talisman by yourself." Mr. Ge said with a bitter smile.
"It's not that exaggerated. I don't make a lot of it every day. I only make a little when I need it now." Fang Yu said with a smile.
After talking with Mr. Ge, Fang Yu left Tianlong City and returned to Yuhua Gate.
…
At night, in a room of an inn in Tianlong City.
Two men in black wearing ghost masks sat in the room, saying nothing.
