Song Zhishu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but quickly came to his senses.
Jinzhou is close to Beizhou. It was an important place in the Zhou Dynasty. It was very prosperous and had over a million people. It was nearly 20,000 miles away from Qingzhou.
Logically speaking, the missions received in Qingzhou should not go directly to Jinzhou, because the two places are incomparable.
However, the Wanshi Pavilion is located in various places in the human cultivation world, and information is exchanged with each other.
Even though the distance is a bit far, as long as there is a Manse Pavilion, you can pick up and complete the mission, so it is not difficult to understand that their goal is Jinzhou.
Song Zhishu had heard before that since the situation in Beizhou changed, the demons had become more and more intense, and demons appeared in several places.
It was Jinzhou at the beginning, so many people focused their attention there, and the Taihao Sword Sect was no exception.
But ever since they discovered the Heaven Sealing Demonic Array, Qingzhou began to attract attention.
The situation here is now stable and the demon chaos has been resolved.
In order to completely eliminate the demons, the next step is to start clearing out other places. However, Song Zhishu did not expect that Jinzhou still exists now, but it seems normal if he thinks about it carefully.
Unlike Qingzhou, Jinzhou was an important town of the Zhou Dynasty, and some sects and forces could not easily get involved.
At most, after discovering the demon, he would just send his disciples to support him.
In addition, all the major immortal sects are paying attention to Qingzhou recently.
There is nothing major happening in Jinzhou, so it is natural to concentrate our efforts on places where the situation is more serious.
Now Wanshi Pavilion continues to issue tasks, the purpose is to completely eliminate the last demons.
"Jinzhou is an important city and is close to Beizhou. It is indeed a good place." Song Zhishu thought, and it met his requirement of traveling thousands of miles. He immediately nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go together.
.”
"Thank you, Mr. Song." After hearing this, Chen Jingyun couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. It was definitely a big help to invite Zhishu Song to this trip.
Lin Cheng and the other three also looked excited. Although they could also find someone else, they would need to get along, and they didn't have enough trust in each other. Now that the other party joins them, it is not only safer, but also saves a lot of trouble.
"I don't have anything else to do recently. You can invite me because you trust me. No need to say thank you."
Zhishu Song actually had similar thoughts to several others. Firstly, the people in front of him deserved enough trust. Secondly, he also wanted to leave Qingzhou, and by accepting the demon mission, he could also gain Haoran's righteousness, which could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
The demon chaos in Qingzhou is the most serious, but now that it has been brought under control, all the demons we will encounter next are weak demons.
In this way, there won't be too much danger and more energy will be spent on reading and practicing.
Coupled with the destination of the task, it also meets the requirements of knowing and doing.
Why not?
With his thoughts at this point, Song Zhishu looked at the people and continued: "When will we set off?"
Since I agreed to the invitation, I naturally followed the arrangements of a few people. I had just made a breakthrough not long ago and needed time to stabilize my state, so there was no need to worry for the time being.
"It should be within these few days. We can also prepare in advance."
Chen Jingyun thought for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and added: "But there is one thing that Mr. Song needs to know. While you were in retreat, there were some rumors in the city, saying that one of our previous missions was able to attack
We drove away the demon because the disciples of the Lieyang Sect injured the demon in advance, and we were just sitting back and enjoying the results."
"These rumors are so loud that some of the casual cultivators who support you, Mr. Song, started arguing directly with the sect disciples. Because of this, the conflicts between the sect disciples and the casual cultivators in the city are getting more and more intense."
After saying that, Chen Jingyun couldn't help but frown, and even he was affected.
I don't care in my heart, but if I let it continue to develop, it will inevitably lead to conflicts between the casual cultivators in the city and the sect disciples.
As for how the rumors started, Chen Jingyun also had a guess in his mind. It was simply the people from the Lieyang Sect who took the lead.
But the key point is that because the rumors have become more and more intense, they have now turned into a struggle between casual cultivators and sect disciples. If this continues, something will definitely happen.
"Is there such a thing? Is there any reaction from the City Lord's Mansion?"
Song Zhishu frowned slightly after hearing this. He didn't expect that a task would have such an impact. The demon chaos was finally calmed down, and now there is trouble again. Although it has nothing to do with him, it will definitely not work if it goes on like this.
Especially if there is a conflict between casual cultivators and sect disciples, it will be the casual cultivators who suffer in the end.
But there was nothing he could do about it. Even if he came forward, the picture would get darker and darker.
After all, the rumors were directed at him, and any actions would be amplified. From Chen Jingyun's words, Song Zhishu had already heard that all conflicts had turned into grudges between casual cultivators and sect disciples.
He now has no identity and no strength. It would be very troublesome to solve it. Even if there is a way, it will take time.
Therefore, we can only ask about the situation in the City Lord's Mansion. The matter happened in Qingzhou, and it should be resolved by the City Lord's Mansion.
"There is not much news from the City Lord's Mansion."
Chen Jingyun shook his head, and then continued: "But my master gave me a name card a few days ago. City Lord Qiu wants to invite us to the City Lord's Mansion. He said that we discovered the Heaven-Sealing Demonic Array and had merit, and that we would be rewarded."
There is no relationship between these two things, but he feels that if he can tell the city lord about the situation at that time, it should be of some use. After all, several people will soon continue to carry out the mission of Wanshi Pavilion. If they can
Doing something before that to resolve the conflicts between the cultivators and the disciples of the sect can be considered as your best effort.
"Then we will go to the City Lord's Mansion today."
After Song Zhishu heard this, he spoke directly: "There are obviously people behind the rumors who are fueling the flames. It is difficult to do anything with our strength, but if we let it go, it will be bad if it causes conflicts in the future."
His idea was similar to Chen Jingyun's, the purpose was to resolve the matter so that when the demon was gone, he would not cause trouble among his own people.
More importantly, Song Zhishu did not want some casual cultivators to offend the sect disciples because of himself.
As for why Qiu Qianhe invited them to visit.
In fact, Song Zhishu also had some speculations.
"Going today?"
Chen Jingyun, Lin Cheng and others looked at each other and finally nodded.
Indeed, if it is to be resolved, it must be resolved as soon as possible without delay, not to mention that they will leave in a few days.
Immediately, no one said anything more.
Song Zhishu tidied up briefly and then walked out of Yunlingzhai with a few others.
Because the demon chaos has been calmed down, the streets of Qingzhou City have also returned to their former prosperity. There are monks everywhere, and even the vendors are out. Compared with the coldness before, they are completely two extremes.
Along the way, after seeing Song Zhishu, some casual cultivators took the initiative to talk to him and express their respect.
Some have listened to his lectures, while others regard him as a representative among casual practitioners.
After all, since the demon appeared in Qingzhou, Song Zhishu was the first person to make the disciples of the sect suffer. Although it seemed like nothing, the casual cultivators were suppressed too hard. Now that they see someone who can suppress the disciples of the sect, they naturally feel respectful.
.
In fact, this is normal, just like how Song Zhishu beat drums to appeal for grievances in the Taihao Sword Sect, and was recognized by most of the lower-level disciples.
The two things may seem different in size, but the truth is the same.
And he did not directly refuse those casual cultivators who came to talk to them, but nodded in greeting.
On the other hand, some of the sect disciples who met on the road reacted with indifference after seeing this scene.
Obviously, the conflicts between the two parties have accumulated to a certain extent.
Therefore, Song Zhishu understood that the matter must be resolved.
Soon, everyone arrived at the door of the city lord's mansion.
Because there was a famous post, the guard didn't say much and went to report. Song Zhishu and others were still waiting outside.
At this moment, in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, two figures were sitting opposite each other.
They are King Ping'an of the Taihao Sword Sect and the city lord Qiu Qianhe.
The demon rebellion has been quelled. Fu Yuan, the commander of the Jinyi Tianwei of the Great Zhou Dynasty, left yesterday. Cheng Hong, the dean of Qingzhou Academy, and the master of Wanshi Pavilion also had their own matters to deal with, so they did not come.
"City Master Qiu, the disciples of the Sword Sect have all withdrawn from the Qingyun Mountains. I will return to the sect in a few days. I will leave the follow-up matters to you."
Wang Ping'an drank a cup of spiritual tea and spoke with a smile. The demon chaos could be solved satisfactorily, and he had not been busy for a while. He would also be rewarded by the sect after returning. Naturally, he was happy in his heart.
"Elder Wang, please rest assured." Qiu Qianhe smiled, the biggest crisis was resolved, and the next step will be much easier.
It's nothing more than coordinating with the major sects, so it won't be a waste of effort.
But soon, he frowned and continued: "It's just Elder Wang. I believe you have heard of some rumors in the city recently. They are all bad remarks about Song Zhishu. It is some sect disciples who are secretly adding fuel to the flames.
As a result, the conflict with the casual cultivators is getting bigger and bigger. Do you think you should step in to stop it when the time comes?"
"These sects are all located in the eastern border and are controlled by Taihao Sword Sect. If you come forward, this matter can be put to rest."
Qiu Qianhe was busy with things related to monsters before, so he couldn't take action. Now that the situation is stable, he naturally thought of it.
It's just that there are various major sects in the city. With my own identity and status, it would be difficult to persuade these people.
It happened that people from Taihao Sword Sect were here, so I thought about asking them to come forward.
"The conflict between casual cultivators and sect disciples has been going on for a long time, and it cannot be resolved overnight. Moreover, those sects came in response to the call of my Taihao Sword Sect. It is not good for me to step forward, so what should I do specifically?
It’s up to City Lord Qiu to decide based on the situation.”
Wang Ping'an let it go and didn't care about it. As long as it didn't harm Song Zhishu, it didn't matter.
As for the conflict between casual cultivators and sect disciples, he didn't care at all.
Because it has nothing to do with you.
"That's good." Qiu Qianhe couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Now that there are many forces in the city, how can he solve them?
It seemed that if something really happened, the casual cultivators would have to be wronged in the end, otherwise would they still directly confront those sects? He couldn't do that.
"City Master Qiu, in addition to saying goodbye, I am here today for another reason." At this time, Wang Ping'an said: "I heard that a few days ago, you were planning to invite Song Zhishu and others to come here to reward them for discovering the Heaven-Sealing Demon in time.
About the array?"
"Yes, if they hadn't discovered it in time, I'm afraid this demonic chaos would have been even more serious."
Qiu Qianhe nodded. The actions of Song Zhishu and others were definitely meritorious. As the city lord, he would definitely not be stingy.
Of course, he couldn't come up with anything good, but he definitely had what he should have.
But Qiu Qianhe also has his own ideas.
That is to take this opportunity to leave some good impression on Song Zhishu.
Even though the other party's current cultivation level is no more than foundation building, he understands that the future Song Zhishu has a bright future.
After all, he is a younger generation who is valued by both the Taihao Sword Sect and the Southern Confucian School. As long as nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely have extremely high achievements.
Although he is the lord of a city and a monk in the Golden Core Realm, he has been practicing for hundreds of years and his potential has been exhausted. If there is no major opportunity, he may stop here in the future.
In this case, if you can build an extra relationship, you won't hesitate.
And Song Zhishu has great potential, which is equivalent to taking precautions.
Nothing is lost anyway.
Otherwise, just to give some rewards, Qiu Qianhe can have others send them to him, so why bother to invite them personally?
Especially in order to make his purpose less obvious, he specially found Cheng Hong.
"Well, after Song Zhishu arrives, please ask City Master Qiu to take out this thing. This is what I, the headmaster of the Sword Sect, ordered. You must give it to Song Zhishu personally, but you must not let outsiders know."
As he said this, Wang Ping'an took out a jade slip from his sleeve. The jade slip looked ordinary and had no special features.
It's just that there are mysterious runes on it, which shows its extraordinaryness.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Qianhe's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he stood up immediately and couldn't help but say: "Elder Wang, please give it to Zhishu Song personally for such an important thing."
He knew that this jade slip must be an extremely important thing, so he didn't want to handle it.
If something goes wrong and Taihao Sword Sect is blamed, I will never be able to bear it.
"Song Zhishu still has opinions about our Sword Sect. If I come forward, he will definitely not accept it, so I'd better trouble City Lord Qiu to worry about it." Wang Ping'an let it go. This jade slip was sent by the leader a few days ago. He said it must be
It must be handed over to Song Zhishu.
But he didn't know what was inside, but he knew that the headmaster also valued Song Zhishu very much and wanted to repair the relationship.
Therefore, knowing that the other party was fighting in Qingzhou, Wang Ping'an immediately sent a message to the sect.
The sect also responded.
Ask yourself to give the jade slip to Song Zhishu, but only if you cannot give it directly.
Wang Pingan thought that he could ask Qiu Qianhe to help, so that the other party could accept it unconsciously.
"Yes, I understand."
Seeing that Qiu Qianhe couldn't shirk it, he finally had to agree and accept the jade slip.
Although both of them are in the Golden Core Realm, there is a gap between them in this realm, not only in terms of strength, but also in identity.
"Thank you City Master Qiu, I'll leave first." Seeing the other party's agreement, Wang Ping'an stood up and was about to leave.
"Report to the city lord."
But at this time, a guard came in, took out a name card, bowed and said: "There are a few people outside who sent the name card, saying that they want to meet the Lord of the City."
"It's Chen Jingyun from Qingzhou Academy."
When he saw the name post, Qiu Qianhe immediately knew who it was. Then he scanned his soul and found Song Zhishu and others. His eyes lit up immediately. He immediately faced Wang Ping'an and cupped his hands and said: "Elder Wang, how about this? You stand behind the screen.
Then he watched me hand this jade slip to Song Zhishu with his own eyes."
At first, he was still thinking about how to give Song Zhishu and how to completely reassure Taihao Sword Sect, but he didn't expect that the other party would come now.
So I thought, if I take it out directly in front of Wang Pingan, there will definitely be no problems.
"That's fine."
Wang Ping'an nodded. If he could see with his own eyes that the jade slips were in Song Zhishu's hands, he would be able to recover after returning.
And with my own strength and cultivation, the other party will definitely not be able to detect it.
Then he didn't say anything.
He turned around and walked behind the screen, hiding all his aura at the same time.
Qiu Qianhe asked his guards to invite the people in.
Not long.
Song Zhishu and his party of five people came to the lobby, facing the city lord Qiu Qianhe, they all slightly bowed their hands.
This is not the first time for Chen Jingyun and others to come to the City Lord's Mansion, but they are still shocked by the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth inside. But think about it, this is the place where the city lord practices daily, and there is no strong support of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. With the opponent's cultivation level, I am afraid that
Even daily practice is difficult to maintain.
"A few of my friends have made great contributions to this demonic chaos, so you're welcome. Please sit down."
When Qiu Qianhe saw a few people, a smile suddenly appeared on his face and he looked very enthusiastic.
Of course, most of this attitude was towards Zhishu Song, and the other people were just passing by. After all, they had made a contribution to discovering the demon rebellion, but it was impossible for him, a dignified city lord, to be like this.
"Thank you, Lord City Lord."
After everyone heard this, they all bowed to express their gratitude and then sat down.
"In this demonic chaos, a few friends discovered the Heaven-Sealing Demon Array, which can be said to be a great contribution. As the Lord of Qingzhou City, I have prepared some things and asked a few friends to accept them. Please don't refuse."
Qiu Qianhe clapped his hands, and several maids walked slowly outside the door, each holding a tray in their hands.
Above is the storage bag, but it is more refined, and obviously the contents inside are not bad.
However, after Chen Jingyun saw it, he did not act. At the same time, he turned to look at Song Zhishu, wanting to see his reaction.
Unknowingly.
Everyone already regarded Song Zhishu as the leader.
"Since the Lord of the City has spoken, we should naturally accept it." Song Zhishu smiled and understood what the others were thinking. He immediately faced City Lord Qiu and slightly bowed his hands, showing good etiquette and not being surprised. As the other party said, even if they discovered the Heaven-Sealing Demonic Array, they would be rewarded.
It should be, and it’s not something you deserve.
"Thank you, Lord City Lord."
After hearing this, Lin Cheng and others also stood up and raised their hands to express their gratitude.
Qiu Qianhe nodded and came in front of everyone at the same time, actually handing things over to everyone's hands in person.
This shocked Chen Jingyun and others. They bowed to accept it, while a trace of doubt appeared on their faces.
The other party is the lord of a city, so he would actually make such a gesture.
Notice.
I am just a junior at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
But soon, when everyone's spirits scanned the contents of the storage bag, they couldn't help but look happy.
Qiu Qianhe smiled bitterly in his heart. He naturally had a purpose for doing this, so he handed each storage bag to everyone without saying anything. When he walked to Zhishu Song, he took it out from his sleeve.
Put a jade slip into it and then present the thing.
It was just that this action was so fast that no one present except Song Zhishu noticed it.
At the same time, Qiu Qianhe shook his head slightly, indicating not to ask.
"This is."
When Song Zhishu saw this, the confusion in his eyes became even more intense.
But after seeing the other party's eyes, he gave it a little and said, "Thank you, Lord City Lord."
"Young friend Song, you're welcome."
Qiu Qianhe smiled, then returned to his duties, motioned for everyone to sit down and continued: "Now that the demon chaos has subsided, are you prepared to stay, or do you have other plans?"
Of course he said this just to be polite, and he didn't really care what the other people were going to do.
The key is Song Zhishu, who wants to know what the other party is thinking.
If he could stay in Qingzhou for a while, Qiu Qianhe would naturally welcome him, and he could invite him to the city lord's mansion from time to time to build closer relationships.
Of course, if you want to leave, you won't be forced to stay.
"City Lord, we have accepted a mission in Wanshi Pavilion to continue slaying demons and eradicating scourges, so we will leave in a few days." Chen Jingyun calmed down from the excitement of receiving the reward, and then said.
"It's good to kill demons and demons in the world."
Hearing this, Qiu Qianhe nodded. In addition to Qingzhou, there are sporadic demon incidents in several other places that really need to be dealt with.
"Lord City Lord, the few of us who came here today actually have another matter to attend to."
Song Zhishu spoke at the right time, collected his thoughts, cupped his hands, and continued: "Recently, there have been some bad remarks about us in the city. I believe the city lord knows exactly who made the remarks. It doesn't matter to the few of us. The key lies in these.
The remarks have caused a bad impact in the city, so I hope the city lord can put a stop to it if possible."
He spoke in a gentle tone and explained things clearly. His purpose was to attract the other party's attention and it was best not to turn into a fight.
As for those people who spread the rumors behind the scenes, Song Zhishu knew who they were, but he didn't want to cause trouble for them.
Because it is unnecessary and may cause more trouble.
but
If those people still refused to listen, Song Zhishu would not choose to let them go.
"this"
Qiu Qianhe frowned. If someone else had spoken, he could just deal with it casually. But Song Zhishu was different, so he had to take it to heart. But he didn't have much to do about it. He finally sighed and said: "Song Xiaoyou, this matter concerns several sects."
Gate, although I am the city lord, what I can do is limited, I can only do my best."
Qiu Qianhe did not want to deal with what happened in the city, in order to prevent the gaffe from spreading further.
But several sects are involved. In addition to the disciples, there are also elders. Although some are not as good as myself, they all represent different forces.
He is only the lord of a city, and it is not very realistic to completely solve the problem.
So all I can say is try your best.
"Thank you, Lord City Lord." Song Zhishu also knew that the other party was in trouble, and the casual cultivator was fine, so it made sense after talking.
The key is that those sect disciples will not listen to him at all, maybe they are waiting for him to come forward and then completely make the matter worse.
It seems that if you want to leave Qingzhou, this matter must be resolved.
Song Zhishu thought, after all, it started because of him, and the rumors were also aimed at him. It would be impossible to just leave. Of course, if City Lord Qiu could solve it, that would be the best.
He didn't say much after that, and he and Chen Jingyun and others thanked Qiu Qianhe again before standing up to leave.
After all, everything that needs to be said has been said, and the other party has spoken, so there is no use in staying.
"Elder Wang, everything has been settled, and the jade slip has been handed over to Zhishu Song."
After Song Zhishu and others left, Qiu Qianhe faced the screen and slightly arched his hands.
"Thank you City Master Qiu for your hard work."
Wang Ping'an walked out from behind and saw everything that had just happened. He also saw the jade slip being sent out with his own eyes.
"It's all what I should do." Qiu Qianhe said, hesitating for a moment and continued: "Look at the rumors in the city, can Elder Wang come forward or something? It's really hard for me to do it alone, not to mention that this matter also involves Song Xiaoyou.
.”
He didn't want to say more, but Song Zhishu mentioned it again, wondering if using the other party's name could make the other party take it seriously.
There is nothing wrong with being a casual cultivator. What is difficult is for the disciples of the sect. It is indeed difficult for me to do something.
But if the Taihao Sword Sect comes forward, it will be different. It can directly suppress all the sects and stop the rumors in the city, and then the matter can be solved directly.
When Wang Ping'an heard this, he thought for a moment.
He didn't want to get involved in Qingzhou City's affairs, but what the other party said was right and involved Song Zhishu, so he still had some hesitation in his heart.
"Lord City Lord, it's not good."
And at this time, a monk suddenly ran in. He was not a guard of the city lord's palace, but a member of the city's law enforcement team. After entering the lobby, he did not hesitate to speak directly: "Report to the city lord, all the disciples of several sects in the city have gathered.
Yes, he said he was going to find a casual cultivator of Song Zhishu."
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, Qiu Qianhe's expression suddenly changed.
The situation in the city had just stabilized, but now it was causing trouble again.
Although he had a premonition about this, he didn't expect that something would happen so soon, and the person he was looking for was Song Zhishu.
But it seems reasonable to think about it. There was no trouble before because there were still demons suppressing it. But now the demon chaos has been resolved. In addition, because of the rumor during this period, the conflicts between the casual cultivators and the sect disciples have become more and more serious.
, it’s only a matter of time before things get into trouble.
As for why the disciples of the sect wanted to find Song Zhishu, Qiu Qianhe could also understand. After all, the other party had a high status in the hearts of casual cultivators recently, and he seemed to have become a representative. With the help of some people, he could understand
But at its root, this is the battle between casual cultivators and sect disciples.
At that moment, Qiu Qianhe couldn't help but turn his head.
"City Master Qiu, don't worry about this matter."
Next to him, Wang Ping'an spoke, his eyes becoming sharp: "I will summon the elders of the major sects in the city to put this matter to rest."
Everyone has found Song Zhishu, and it is impossible for him to let things develop. There are two reasons. First, although Song Zhishu has withdrawn from the Taihao Sword Sect, the top management attaches great importance to him and hopes that he can return to the Sword Sect. Now
Affected by some rumors, some people came to look for trouble. As an elder of the Sword Sect, naturally he would not sit idly by and ignore it.
The second reason is that Wang Ping'an knew very well that Song Zhishu was a gentleman, but he had his own principles and bottom lines.
It doesn't seem like much at ordinary times, but if it gets to the root of it, you won't choose to endure it at all.
Just like it was just a few handyman disciples back then.
But Song Zhishu took action directly, and in the end, the headmaster even took action.
In this way, the situation in Qingzhou City will be difficult to control, and more importantly, the opponent's identity may also be exposed.
Under such circumstances, Wang Pingan has decided that it must be resolved. Of course, he will not come forward, but directly go to the elders of the major sects. After all, it is the disciples who are making trouble now.
"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, Elder Wang."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Qianhe's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly handed over his hand.
"kindness."
Wang Ping'an nodded, and without saying anything more, he turned into a stream of light and disappeared from the place.
Seeing this, Qiu Qianhe breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.
Originally I was still thinking that if the other party didn't do anything in the end, the situation would definitely be uncontrollable.
It's fine now. Unexpectedly, the disciples of the sect started to make trouble. Regarding this, he couldn't help but feel completely relaxed. Fortunately, these people were not sensible. With Wang Ping'an taking action, there would definitely be no problem.
Qiu Qianhe couldn't help but shook his head. These sect disciples were usually arrogant, but now they actually got into trouble with Governor Song.
Isn’t this causing trouble for yourself?
Thoughts come to this.
Qiu Qianhe knew that he no longer had to worry about this matter, but he still ordered people to go find out the news and report back at any time.
Wang Ping'an moved quickly and went directly to the Lieyang Sect's headquarters in Qingzhou City, because this was where the initial rumors spread. When the elders of the Lieyang Sect saw the person coming, they were shocked and hurriedly came out to greet him.
Seeing this, Wang Ping'an did not take action directly, but asked the other party to notify all the sect elders in Qingzhou City to come.
Although the Lieyang Sect was full of doubts about this, they did not dare to neglect it and chose to obey the order.
Because the major sects are located very close to each other.
Therefore, it was only a stick of incense. Everyone had arrived, but no one knew what was going on.
At this moment, Lieyang Sect is stationed in a lobby.
Dozens of figures gathered together. These people had a strong aura, and each of them exuded rays of light. There were old men, middle-aged men, and women. There were nineteen people in total. They were all elders sent to Qingzhou City from various major sects. Their cultivation was in the process of forming.
The initial stages of elixir and golden elixir are different.
The leader was none other than Wang Ping'an. At this moment, he closed his eyes tightly and did not speak, making the atmosphere in the lobby a bit heavy.
"The elders of the eighteen sects in Qingzhou City have already arrived. I wonder why Elder Wang summoned us?"
One of the old men spoke. His figure was a bit stooped, but his eyes were very bright and his whole body exuded a fiery aura. This man was the elder of the Lieyang Sect.
The other seventeen people also looked at him one after another, their faces full of confusion. They had no idea what the Taihao Sword Sect Elder Wang was doing when he called everyone together.
But they didn't dare to have any objections, because all the sects present were located in the east, and they all respected Taihao Sword Sect.
Even though Wang Ping'an's status in the sword sect is not very high, he is already a big shot to everyone.
It is the double gap between cultivation and identity.
Not to mention these people present.
Even if their sect leader comes, they must treat each other with courtesy and not dare to offend.
Soon, Wang Ping'an opened his eyes and looked around. The elders of the major sects who made eye contact with him all lowered their heads slightly. Seeing this, he slowly spoke out: "I heard that the disciples of these sects are making trouble in the city.
, Are you looking for trouble with the casual cultivators?"
His voice was very soft, neither urgent nor slow, and no emotion could be heard in it.
When the elders heard this, they immediately looked at each other, doubts appearing in their eyes again, as if they didn't understand.
In fact, everyone present knew about this matter, but they did not stop it. What's wrong with causing trouble for casual cultivators? It's not a big deal.
All the elders didn't understand and didn't know how to reply. Finally, the elder of Lieyang Sect walked out and cupped his hands: "Elder Wang, that's it. Is there any problem?"
"What's the problem?"
Wang Ping'an's eyes changed slightly, and his tone became a little heavy: "Now that the demon chaos has just been calmed down, the situation has not yet been completely stabilized, but your disciples have started to cause trouble regardless of the overall situation. What's your problem?"
As soon as these words came out, the expression of the elder of Lieyang Sect changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down and continued: "Elder Wang, there have always been conflicts between the disciples of our sect and the casual cultivators. You also know this, and the recent period
As time goes by, these casual cultivators really danced too much, and it doesn’t matter if they give them a lesson. After all, they are just some casual cultivators. If they are not restrained, I don’t know what trouble they will cause in the future."
In his eyes, casual cultivators are inherently inferior, so there is nothing wrong with his disciples looking for trouble.
So what if there is a problem? As long as it doesn't cause a big problem, it's okay.
So he doesn't understand.
With the identity of the other party, how could he pay attention to such a trivial matter.
"I know what you are thinking."
Wang Ping'an chuckled lightly: "Don't think that I don't know where the rumors about Song Zhishu came from. He framed casual cultivators, used his power to bully others, and now he wants to directly find trouble. Isn't this your style?"
"To tell you the truth, that Song Zhishu is a member of our Taihao Sword Sect, and he is a person whom our Sword Sect's headmaster values important. I will tell you what to do. You know in your heart that if this matter is not resolved, I will come to you next time.
Yes, it’s not me anymore.”
This sentence directly reveals the identity of Song Zhishu, and the reason is that he wants the sect elders present to know the seriousness of the matter.
If it was about other people and doubts about other forces, Wang Ping'an would naturally be cautious and would not speak out.
But these people in front of them are completely different. The sects behind them all look up to Taihao Sword Sect.
So what if the identity of Song Zhishu is revealed?
I also have the ability to shut everyone up and not dare to reveal anything.
A member of the Taihao Sword Sect?
Song Zhishu?
There are all elders from various major sects present. They have been practicing for many years. Which one is not an old fox?
So I understood the meaning almost instantly.
Who can be so valued by the other party and still be called Song Zhishu?
I see.
All of a sudden.
Everyone felt cold and realized that they had hit an iron plate.
No wonder Wang Ping'an had such a big reaction and would personally come to ask about such a matter.
It’s not surprising that everyone is like this. In today’s world, there are too many monks with the same name.
At this moment, they only know that this Zhishu Song cannot be messed with under any circumstances. Once something happens, it will definitely be a big deal.
Behind this person are not only Taihao Sword Sect, but also Southern Confucianism.
"I understand, we will call everyone back now." The elders of Lieyang Sect were trembling in their tone. Song Zhishu was okay, but the key is that Wang Ping'an's words were too scary.
The elders of the other seventeen sects also realized the problem and stood up one by one.
Now they all have only one thought in their minds, which is to immediately recall all the troublemaking disciples under their command.
Otherwise, if something goes wrong, Taihao Sword Sect will definitely be angry.
"It's not just as simple as recalling it."
Wang Ping'an looked at the elder of Lieyang Sect and said in a calm voice: "And those disciples under you are the instigators. Don't they look down on casual cultivators? Then just let them have a taste of being casual cultivators."
In one sentence, he would directly ask the other party to deprive those few people of their status as sect disciples.
Wang Ping'an's idea was very simple. Protecting Zhishu Song was on the one hand, but the actions of Liu Yuan and others really made him feel disgusted.
Such people must be taught a lesson.
"Yes, definitely."
The elder of Lieyang Sect nodded immediately and did not dare to refute anything.
After all, if the other party hadn't come, the matter would have become a big deal, and the entire Lieyang Sect would have been implicated.
"very good."
At this moment, Wang Ping'an stood up, looked at everyone present, and said in a solemn tone: "Also, today's matter cannot be mentioned to anyone, especially about the identity of Song Zhishu, otherwise I will find out in the future, and everyone present,
You can't escape, so let's go."
In the eyes of casual cultivators, the major sects that cannot be provoked are nothing in front of the elders of Taihao Sword Sect.
And he also believed that with his words, everyone present would definitely know what to do.
At the same time, Wang Pingan was also happy.
The sects entering Qingzhou City this time all belong to the Eastern Territory and are controlled by the Taihao Sword Sect. If it were another sect, it would be difficult to deal with it.
Of course, his idea was very simple. With Song Zhishu's ability, it was only a matter of time before his identity was revealed.
But at least for a short period of time, outsiders will not discover it.
Especially during this time in Qingzhou City.
"Yes, I'll understand later."
The elders of the sects bowed quickly, and then turned into streams of light one by one and left the Lieyang Sect's headquarters.
Now they just want to arrive as soon as possible and stop the matter before it gets too serious.
Especially the elders of Lieyang Sect.
I have already scolded Liu Yuan and the others thousands of times in my heart. Okay, why do you want to provoke Song Zhishu?
The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and the more afraid he became, the angrier he became.
As for Wang Ping'an, he didn't stay much longer.
He has done all the things he should do, and now it is time to return to the sect. As for the matters in Qingzhou City, I believe that the elders of the sect will handle them beautifully and will not let him down.
at the same time.
Song Zhishu and others did not return to Yunlingzhai immediately after leaving the city lord's mansion.
Instead, I was wandering around on the road. After all, I was leaving in a few days and I didn’t know when I would be back.
Especially Lin Cheng and the other three, who have lived in Qingzhou for several years, have a sense of nostalgia, so the pace of the five of them is not very fast.
Song Zhishu looked at the bustling streets that had returned to their former glory, and felt a little emotional in his heart. Sure enough, it was better to have no disasters. No matter monks or mortals, they didn't have to worry about their lives all the time.
It's a pity, how long can such a life last?
The trouble of demons is gone.
After a period of time, when the saint's methods fail, the chaos will affect everyone.
I don’t know how many people will die at that time
Thinking of this, Song Zhishu's idea of becoming stronger became even stronger.
Before the advent of troubled times, you must not only have the means to protect yourself, but also the ability to do more, even if it is just a little. This is not to show mercy, but to follow your heart and protect your conscience.
"Yunlingzhai is ahead of us, so I'll take my leave first."
Chen Jingyun opened his mouth and did not intend to go in. After all, the academy still had some matters to deal with.
But when he was about to turn his head, he suddenly noticed something was wrong in the distance. He frowned and said, "Huh? Why are there so many people in front of you?"
As soon as these words came out, Song Zhishu and others couldn't help but look away.
I saw a large group of people gathering on the street not far away in the direction of Yunlingzhai, including casual cultivators and sect disciples. And it seemed that it was not just one sect. For a moment, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
