More than twenty days after the master of Huangfu Academy ascended to immortality, Chen Taizhong began to pack his bags and prepare to return to Fenghuang Realm.
Of the first and second batch of Haoran disciples, only six were willing to stay. The other seventy-two were all planning to go back. Among the remaining six, there was one who had just ascended to immortality. Even if he wanted to
Even if he goes back, Master Chen will not allow him to go back.
Among the third batch of cultivators, more than 20 people also expressed their willingness to go back, but the old leader Nan Wangliu made it very clear: they must stay in the Netherworld for five years before they can go back, and someone must lead the new generation here.
The disciple who came.
After the five-year period expires, whoever wants to stay can get more contribution point rewards. Of course, the upper limit is ten years. If you want to stay for more than ten years, Perry will not agree to it.
Therefore, of the two hundred targets that Chen Taizhong wanted, there were more than a hundred. They were to benefit the cultivators in the market. Those who had participated in the attack on Mowu Bo were given priority. There were also those who had maintained the market in the past and maintained it.
A member of the Haoran sect.
Chen Zhenren used to show that he didn't care about these cultivators, but he didn't think so in his heart. The development of the market to its current scale is not only due to him and Dong Yi, the support of others is also very important.
Especially now, there are many conflicts among cultivators in the market, but once they encounter oppression from the outside world, all the cultivators are almost unanimous in their response to the outside world, and there is a tendency to become a group.
Such a group is located next to the Haoran sect's station. After Chen Taizhong leaves, the sect can also recruit them as Austrian aid.
He understands this very well, so when setting indicators, he takes this into full consideration.
The quota of more than 100 people remaining was easily reached, and Dong Yi wanted to follow him back. However, Chen Taizhong allowed him to use the Xiaoyao Palace he left behind to practice, but he was not allowed to leave.
Although Xiao Dong is only an immortal, he has been in charge of the market for so many years and has many connections there. Even if Chen is not around, he can barely survive. After all, the Haoran sect has a high-level immortal who has just been promoted.
But once Xiao Dong leaves, Elder Nan alone cannot manage the market well. In addition to the more than 100 people who left, there are still a dozen heavenly masters in the market.
After everything was settled, Chen Taizhong took everyone on the road. Two hundred people took three spiritual boats and two war boats and headed straight for the passage.
In addition to walking through the teleportation array, wherever the spirit boat passes, people occasionally stop and ask questions.
At this time, it is usually the disciples of the Haoran sect who come forward to negotiate. Most people are unwilling to provoke them once they hear these three words. However, there are also those who are blind and point at the six or seven immortals flying in the sky and ask, "What about your Haoran sect?"
Is it possible that there are so many immortals?”
"I'm from Chen Zhenren's market, how do you treat me?" Among these cultivators, there are really not many good-tempered ones. Especially now that you are following Zhenren Chen, how can you not take the opportunity to show off? "Boy, do you want to be beaten?"
The group of people just rushed to the passage, and the journey was extremely smooth.
There are those who are ignorant and think that if I had known this earlier, I could have walked alone. However, practitioners who think this way are scolded all over by others as soon as they reveal such an idea.
"How can you really leave the Haoran sect a thousand miles away and be safe and sound without Master Chen accompanying you? We won't bring you such a joke."
"Although Master Chen didn't show up all the way, do you think others really didn't know that he was in the war boat?"
"Nonsense. How could you not know? There are at least seventy or eighty spies in our market alone..."
Arriving at the basin where the passage is located, a large number of cultivators gathered there, probably no more than 20,000 or 30,000 cultivators. Chen Taizhong led these two hundred straggler-like cultivators and arrived at the designated location in accordance with the requirements of Jianbao Pavilion.
To everyone's surprise, if you want to return to the Fenghuang Realm, you must undergo a joint inspection by the government and the sect. Yes, all storage equipment must be released and allowed to be inspected.
The group of people led by Chen Taizhong were used to being unruly, and they directly drew their weapons, "I'll wipe it... can you try to move my storage bag?"
Among the people who performed the inspection, there were one Jade Immortal from the sect and one from the government, both of whom Chen Taizhong had met. One was the sixth-level sword cultivator under Xi Liugong who could use Wu Nian, and the other was the True Intent.
Zong’s high-end combat power, Hao Wuji and Hao Zhenren.
Master Hao ignored these young men and stared directly at Chen Taizhong, "Master Chen, this is just an inspection. He will not touch everyone's property or record it. I, Mr. Hao, will give you a guarantee. What do you think?"
"Yeah," Chen Taizhong nodded. He was relatively reassured about Hao Wuji's actions because his reputation was there.
Moreover, Hao Wuji dared to use himself as a guarantee, so Chen was still afraid that he would break his promise? "Everyone, please cooperate."
Chen Taizhong himself was not afraid of inspections. He hid many important things in the Babel Tower, and forced Chunliang to swallow the Babel Tower into his stomach. The little Qilin didn't look big, but he had the belly of a foodie.
Chunliang was quite indignant about this, but he had too many clues, and Chen Taizhong was pinching him, so he had no choice but to admit it!
Since Chen Taizhong said this, others could only cooperate. Some people had a lot of shady things in their storage bags. Hearing this, his heart twitched: Don't let anything happen, right?
But already here, Chen Zhenren recognized it again. Now it was too late to run, so he could only bite the bullet and accept the examination.
But fortunately, Master Hao really meant what he said. Some people's storage bags even contained belongings of Zhenyi Sect disciples. The people who checked them just frowned and at most looked at each other suspiciously.
However, someone was eventually caught, and the person caught was none other than Wei Xiaosheng, Chen Zhenren's disciple who was walking under the sect and the only one who followed him back to Fenghuang Realm.
There were several types of insects produced in the Netherworld hidden on her body. After checking them out, several cultivators swept the ground and surrounded her without waiting for her to react.
"You brought prohibited items," a high-level immortal said calmly, "Now... come with us."
Master Wei's face suddenly turned pale, "What have I done to deserve to be taken away by you?"
When Chen Taizhong saw this, he snorted coldly, "She is my disciple. If anything happens, come to me."
As soon as he came forward, Hao Wuji walked over and asked, "What's going on? What happened?"
After the two parties communicated for a while, they finally figured out the whole story.
In fact, when setting up inspections at passage entrances, they mainly check for two things. One is items with spatial attributes that may damage the safety of the passage, and the other is some uncontrollable things in the Netherworld.
Compared to these two things, the stuff about killing people and grabbing treasures is really nonsense.
These kinds of insects brought by Wei Xiaosheng are precisely the second type of contraband. Bringing these things into the Fenghuang Realm may have very serious consequences. These things are not allowed to be brought in before sufficient verification.
This concern is very reasonable. After the inspectors learned that Wei Xiaosheng was a Gu cultivator, they could only let him go angrily. Some people brought these things back to the world with ulterior motives and needed careful investigation. But obviously, Gu cultivators
exception.
However, despite this, the insects brought by Master Wei were mercilessly confiscated by the inspectors.
When Chen Taizhong saw this, he could only curl his lips. The reason given for the confiscation was legitimate and sufficient. What else could he say?
Seriously, it was Master Hao who said, "If it weren't for Master Chen's sake, the confiscation would be light, and you would also be punished! Don't you know you are not allowed to take these things back?"
Wei Xiaosheng didn't have a temper either. She thought she could control these little insects, but... she did break the rules.
After this small episode passed, after another seven or eight hours of waiting, preparations for the passage transmission were completed. Four thousand and ninety-six cultivators stepped into the formation, and the white light flashed and they disappeared.
When Chen Taizhong regained consciousness again, he had already returned to the Fenghuang Realm. He didn't need to think too much. As long as he took a deep breath of air, he knew that this was the Fenghuang Realm. There was a trace of familiar spiritual energy in the air that he had not seen for a long time.
Chen Taizhong's reaction was a little better. Many cultivators around him took a deep breath and burst into tears. Some even couldn't help but burst into tears.
Some even shouted heartbreakingly, "Fenghuang Realm, I'm finally back!"
"I have never felt that the air in Fenghuang Realm is so fresh and comfortable!"
"I'm back rich! I'm back alive!"
There were so many surprises that I can't even describe. The guards guarding the passage picked up more than one group of returning cultivators. It was already commonplace and they watched them vent their feelings indifferently.
Not far away, tens of thousands of cultivators who were about to go through the passage to the Netherworld looked at them curiously.
"What are you looking at?" Someone was so excited that he shouted loudly, "I have been fighting in the Netherworld for twenty years, and when I come back, I shout twice, can't I?"
The cultivators watching from afar are also a little unconvinced: Damn, you are fighting in the Nether Realm. It seems that I have not experienced plane wars in the Fenghuang Realm?
However, due to the pressure from the guards, both parties only shouted a few times in the air and gave up.
However, the guards then asked them to check the storage equipment as well.
This time, the cultivator who came back gave up: Go away, he was investigated once in the Nether World, will he still be investigated when he returns to the Fenghuang Realm?
The guards kept stressing that this was a rule, but the cultivators who came back ignored it at all. You know, although this group of people was not the first group to come back through the passage, they were among the first three groups and could come back first.
They are all affiliated with big forces.
After the two sides argued for a while, the real person guarding the place came forward, but among the more than 4,000 cultivators who returned this time, there were at least eight real people and big demons, and he could not suppress them.
It's hard to say, so the guards can only do the next best thing: How about we conduct random inspections?
Everyone would imagine that a cultivator who has been fighting in the Netherworld for twenty years would definitely have a dazzling array of things in his storage bag this time around.
It's strange that they didn't resist strongly for the second inspection. The guards could only blame them secretly. The person who ordered this two-way inspection was really a bit unhuman.
In fact, this rule is not wrong. One more inspection will provide an extra layer of insurance. However, it is indeed inappropriate and too sensitive to apply it to the first few batches of returning cultivators. (To be continued.)
