Chapter 174: Disciples only do what they think they should do in this life
The Territory Conference is a grand event that provides friendly exchanges between various forces, large and small, in the Northern Immortal Territory to jointly resist the demons.
Among the younger generation, those who can come to participate in the Domain Conference are all disciples with relatively outstanding cultivation or higher status in each force.
The elders will bring them here specially, mainly to broaden their horizons, and also to give these important juniors the opportunity to expand their social contacts.
For small sects, trying to establish good relations with major sects is the top priority of this trip.
For this reason, as soon as many young cultivators entered the venue, they secretly identified suitable targets under the instructions of their elders, and then found a reason to come forward to chat.
Of course, people from large sects can only take the initiative to look at people from other large sects. Small sects can only stick to them and talk to them.
At the moment, people from large sects are not in a hurry to take action immediately, as doing so would appear to be disrespectful, so for a while, people from small sects were walking around frequently in the venue.
The Chiyun Sect was originally one of the top sects in the Northern Immortal Territory, and it naturally attracted the attention of many forces at this moment.
In particular, there was a red shadow among them. Most of the people present were young and energetic juniors. It was difficult for them not to notice the pair of long legs that were very eye-catching even though they were hidden in the pomegranate skirt.
No matter how few beauties there are, you can still find a few here, but it's hard to find just one or two beauties with outstanding features.
At that moment, many young people from small sects walked over to Chiyun Sect and greeted them sincerely.
Shen Jiangli, who was sitting on the edge of the team, remained unmoved and left everything to the other disciples around him to deal with.
Ignoring the strange looks from her classmates, she turned her eyes to search the square carefully, intent on taking advantage of this most likely opportunity to find the absconding figure.
She came here for nothing else but this.
The Chiyun Sect uses fire to build its way. What is different from other large sects is that there are a total of eighteen branches within it, and the number of disciples it recruits is extremely large.
This is all due to the fierce competition with the neighboring Luoshui Sect, which is also a large sect.
Lowering standards to recruit a large number of disciples is not a completely good thing. For the past hundred years, the Red Cloud Sect has been discussing within itself whether to streamline the lineage system and limit the number of branches to less than eight.
Although the discussion has never come to an exact result, the restrictions on disciples within the sect's pulse transfer have also been relaxed.
However, the Liyun Meridian where Chen Jiangli is located is the lowest ranked among the eighteen branches. Ever since the Chiyun Sect relaxed the restrictions on the transfer of pulses, there have been no female disciples left in ten.
This is exactly the reason why she was attracted by Elder Han of Liyunmai and accepted as his direct disciple.
Elder Han valued the apprentice beside him very much.
There is no way, Li Yunmai has been unable to recruit new disciples with better qualifications for a hundred years, and has left more disciples than it has taken in.
If the current Liyun Vein Master hadn't insisted on guarding the Liyun Vein, she would have wanted to transfer to another branch and become an elder.
Only Shen Jiangli rejected the invitations from other branches and fearlessly chose her, allowing her to regain some of her thoughts.
She also asked about the reason, and the apprentice told her bluntly that it was because he was interested in her as a cultivator who could use a gun, and that was all.
This actually suited her better.
In previous years, Elder Han would not come to such an occasion. This time, for the sake of her apprentice's future, she took the initiative to fight for two places.
When she saw her apprentice sitting still, she felt a little anxious.
Although the value of friendship with people from small sects is somewhat lower, they are better at being helpful when needed urgently and are willing to work hard. They can be a convenient and practical help when trouble occurs outside and should not be ignored.
Seeing that her apprentice seemed to be looking for something, the old woman couldn't help but send a message: "Jiang Li, what on earth are you looking for? Why do you look so absent-minded?"
Still unable to find that figure, Shen Jiangli shook his head slightly and withdrew his gaze.
The message asked: "Master, will all the forces in the Northern Immortal Territory come to this conference, or will there be some hidden forces that will not come?"
"Working together to resist the demons is related to the peace of the Northern Immortal Territory. As long as it is a force within the Northern Immortal Territory, no matter how few people are sent, they will come..."
As she spoke, the old woman's heart moved: "Are you looking for your escaped fiancé?"
Shen Jianglei did not deny it and nodded slightly.
The old woman let out a deep sigh.
"Sigh... The little fat man from Luoshui Sect died mysteriously in the ancient trial tower. His grand elder is also shameless. If he can't find the murderer, he will put his head on your head and insist on making some unfounded connection.
It would be fine if you came directly to take revenge. The sect would not lose this face, but the old guy actually asked you to marry one of his disciples.
Nowadays, the new generation of talents in Luoshui Sect is emerging in large numbers, and it seems that they are overwhelming them. Our lineage's position in the sect is in danger, and other main lines are eyeing it.
In order to avoid the further deterioration of the relationship between the two sects in the future, the other sect leaders may try to benefit from public interests and persuade the sect leader to force the sect leader to kill you..."
Elder Han couldn't go on and said instead: "The sect master has vetoed this matter now, but the time is still long, and who can control the changes in interests in the future.
If your fiancé really comes from a certain powerful force, that would be good. At least he would have an extra bargaining chip to stabilize the sect leader's current decision.
But you don’t even know where he is now, so if that situation really happens, how can you get out of it?"
The sect said that if there is affection, then there is affection, and if there is ruthlessness, then there is ruthlessness. As a person who has experienced this, the old woman understands it best.
Especially now that the competition for interests within the Chiyun Sect is fierce, the situation can be said to change at any time.
Of course she doesn't want her apprentice to be forced, but sometimes the situation is stronger than others, and she is powerless.
Shen Jiangli's face was calm and silent, but the jade hands in her red sleeves were tightly squeezed.
She managed to stop her father from breaking the engagement, but as soon as her fiancé left, there was no news at all.
Now that he is involved in the internal fighting within the sect for no reason, he may become a victim of the exchange of interests between several parties at any time.
She just wanted to fulfill her grandfather's last wish in a decent manner, but why didn't the process go as she wanted?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The sounds around her made her feel noisy, and it took a while before she responded.
There is a kind of stubbornness in his bones despite his calmness.
"Master, this disciple will only do what he thinks he should do in this life. Even if the empress who intimidates the world asks, I will never let my disciple listen to her."
The old woman opened her mouth, then sighed secretly for a moment.
…
The Domain Conference is divided into two stages. During the day, apart from the usual rituals at the beginning, the rest of the time is open to everyone present to socialize freely. At night, the top leaders of various forces discuss major plans behind closed doors in another hall.
At this time, there was still half an hour before the official opening of the conference, and the focus of the younger generation present was on the outstanding figures who were also of the younger generation.
As soon as top disciples from various sects such as Jian Yi and Senior Sister Wen Wen entered the scene and were reminded and introduced by people around them, they immediately attracted the attention of many young people and showed their envious and admiring eyes.
The arrival of Jiang Lintian pushed the scene to a climax, causing heated discussions.
A senior disciple from a small sect said with emotion: "Is that the most talented disciple among the younger generation in the Northern Immortal Territory? He is indeed a talented person!"
A female cultivator who initiated nymphomaniac worship said: "Wow, he looks so graceful. This is the kind of Taoist monk I am pursuing!"
Of course, there are also those who pour cold water on him: "Come on, if you can find someone who is one-tenth as good as him, it will be like smoke rising from your ancestral grave."
There are also those who secretly inspired the strong heart: "Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, it's not like I don't have a chance..."
Listening to these discussions, the Wuqingfeng disciples walking beside Jiang Lintian were so proud that they couldn't help but straighten their backs.
Jiang Lintian seemed to be unknown and calmly walked to an empty seat and sat down.
At this time, young disciples from various major sects finally moved and came over to say hello.
The Luoshui Sect's team also arrived at the venue. A man holding a sword next to the leader, after seeing where the Chiyun Sect was, broke away from the team and walked over alone.
Only after Elder Han's secret reminder did Shen Jiangli notice the visitor.
Just as she was frowning, a flying sword had just arrived above the competition ground. It seemed that it almost flew over the boundary and stopped in mid-air.
This time, not only her, but also many people in the scene were attracted by the shocking scene on the sword.
Even Jiang Lintian, who accidentally caught a glimpse of it, couldn't help but look at him sideways.
