Shen Xinlan didn't seem to have changed much since that conversation. After moving into the new Qingyang Gate residence with Shen Zhui, she not only copied everything from Guiyuan Sect, but she still called herself Xiao Lanruo.
But the only change is that Shen Xinlan no longer seems to resist Shen Zhui calling her his adopted sister.
Shen Zhui didn't put her in trouble and let her do it.
Nothing is accomplished overnight. If Shen Xinlan can make some changes, it is a good start.
"Sister, I'm going to Wulong City." Shen Zhui said.
"I know, I will report it truthfully." Shen Xinlan replied calmly.
"Sister, please take care of yourself. If there is any danger, Ziyou will protect you."
silence.
Shen Zhui didn't say much, just bowed his hands and left.
Today's New Qingyang Gate is dominated by external forces.
There are forty secret guards, twenty with eighth-level magical powers, nineteen with ninth-level magical powers, and the leader of the secret guards, Jin Yi, is at the pinnacle of magical powers.
On the surface, he is a disciple of the Qingyang Sect and a guest, but in fact he is the soul servant of the Supreme Holy Envoy Cangsong, who is both a helper and a monitor.
Both parties are well aware of this and are currently in harmony.
The secret guards carried out Shen Zhui's orders very thoroughly. On the first day they entered the northwest of Guangling, they immediately followed Shen Zhui's orders and took over all the cities and annexes that originally belonged to the Qianyuan Sect.
On the other side, Guiyuanzong's eyeliner is Shen Xinlan.
It's just that Guiyuan Sect will not issue any orders to Shen Zhui, and will only let Shen Xinlan pass on the news, at least for the time being.
Whether it is Cangsong or Patriarch Guiyuan, today's Qingyang Gate is still too immature. It is a time of growth, watering and fertilizing, not a harvest season.
I don't know if it was due to the influence of the Supreme Holy Envoy, but no one came to disturb Shen Zhui for five days after entering Qingyang Gate. This process of taking over the new territory went extremely smoothly.
The only surprise is the head of the Sword Sect! The Sword King Liao Wushuang!
"Liao Wushuang came down from the mountain twenty years ago, wandered around the Guangling Cave and Zhuling Cave, and traveled around the world."
“They stole the show in the ‘Secret Realm of Yao Chi’ in Guangling Cave Heaven and the ‘Secret Realm of Youhai Sea’ in Zhuling Cave Heaven respectively.”
"There were two well-known battles during the two adventures. One was with the elder of the Huoyun Sect when he was at the third level of his magical power. They were fighting for a top level four magical weapon. In the end, Liao Wushuang won the treasure, and the Huoyun Sect The elder is injured."
"The other time was in the secret realm of Youhai in Zhuling Cave Heaven, when a seventh-level supernatural power beheaded a casual cultivator who was a ninth-level magician."
"His strength has also risen rapidly from the second level of magical power when he came down the mountain to the peak of magical power today, and he is known as the King of Swordsmen."
"Later, the Sword Sect's sect leader failed to break into the secret realm. Sword King Liao Wushuang was ordered to take over as the sect leader of the second-rate sect with his peak magical power. In just five years, Sword Sect suffered three sect promotion challenges."
"The Sword Sect returned with great victories in the first two times. Sword King Liao Wushuang also successfully broke through to the Venerable level, but the third time, he ran into a little trouble. Although he won by luck, it was rumored that he was seriously injured and had to report to the Judgment The city applied to sign a divine contract to protect 50% of the territory from being invaded, and the contract was signed for a total of ten years."
After listening to Jin Yi's report, Shen Zhui nodded: "This sword king Liao Wushuang is quite a character."
"Speaking of which, he has some relationship with the sect of the sect leader." Jin Yi smiled. "When the Qingyang Sect began to decline, it was the time when the third challenge of the Sword Sect began."
"Because it is adjacent to Qingyang Gate, Sword Gate only applied for site protection in the south, while the city close to Qingyang Gate is in normal condition."
"I just didn't expect that the Qingyang Sect would be replaced by the Qianyuan Sect in just ten years. It has been slowly being eroded since then, and it can only barely resist."
Shen Zhui nodded. At that time, Qingyangzi had no intention of fighting for territory, and decades of clearing his name made the Sword King Liao Wushuang bet that Qingyangmen would not attack him.
As a result, the Qingyang Sect did not attack his Daojian Sect, but the Qianyuan Sect came and still fell into many years of fighting.
"The situation in this sect world is really chaotic and treacherous, with endless wars. In the northwest corner of a small cave, there have been so many overt and covert fights, and the ownership has changed several times..." Shen Zhui sighed secretly in his heart.
"Jin Yi, what do you think Liao Wushuang's purpose is for holding a banquet in Wulong City this time?" Shen pursued.
"Obviously it's to welcome the wind feast, but the real purpose is to return to Wuchang City." Jin Dao said.
"I'm afraid it won't stop." Shen Zhui looked at Jin Yi with a smile.
Jin Yi looked calm and did not answer.
Shen Zhui continued to drive the warship forward without forcing him.
Soon, the outline of the city wall of Wulong City appeared on the horizon...
…………
Wulong City, City Lord's Mansion.
In the hall, a middle-aged man with a burly build, a resolute face and clear lines stood in the hall.
There is a black iron sword in his arms. The cold light is shining, and the majesty of the venerable makes it difficult to look directly at it.
"Report!" A hurried voice came from outside the door. "Fang Liang, the leader of the Qingyang Sect, has arrived thirty miles outside Wulong City."
"How many people are here?" Liao Wushuang asked.
"I only saw the sect master Fang Liang and a person with peak magical powers."
"Oh? Patriarch Qingyang didn't come?" Liao Wushuang raised his eyebrows slightly. "It's interesting. I'll send someone out of the city to greet you."
…………
It was almost dusk. Shen Zhui arrived at Wulong City and followed the people who came to greet him to the city lord's mansion.
"Sect Master Fang, I have finally waited for you to come. Master, you have had a hard time traveling all the way!"
The city lord's mansion is magnificent and brightly lit. At the door, a middle-aged man with a slightly stout figure, fair complexion and three strands of black beard is waiting quietly with his maids and servants.
"City Lord, you're welcome! I'm a newbie here, so I rely on the support of the leader of your sect."
Shen Zhui cupped his hands and said.
"Sect master, please come inside. The food and wine have been prepared. Our sect master has been waiting for a long time."
Wang Qing, the fourth disciple of the Sword Sect who led the way, is also the Lord of Wulong City and said with a smile.
The beautiful maid opened the way, and the two of them walked all the way to the depths of the city lord's mansion.
The lobby is brightly lit, with paintings of flowers, birds, insects and fish, and jade screens of beauties and ladies standing around. In the center is an Eight Immortals table, on which are delicacies from the mountains and seas, and delicious dishes.
Not long after, Shen Zhui saw the sword king Liao Wushuang!
"Sect Master Fang, our distinguished guests have arrived, but we have to wait a long way to welcome them."
"Sect Master Liao, I have admired you for a long time."
After a brief exchange of greetings, the two parties took their seats.
There are many masters of the Sword Sect, and they are accompanied by seven or eight ninth-level supernatural powers, but Shen Zhui is alone.
After sitting down, Sword King Liao Wushuang said nothing, while his fourth disciple Wang Qing suddenly sighed.
"There are delicious food and wine here, as well as beauties and maids. Why is the city lord sighing?"
A smile flashed across Shen Zhui's eyes.
"Sect Master Fang doesn't know that starting from Wuchang City, going west to Hanhai City and other four cities, the area is an ominous place!
The evil god sect, the first-class sect in ancient times, collapsed here and fell into the dust. Today, the Qianyuan sect was exterminated in less than a year.
Wang, I am really worried about Sect Leader Fang. Sect Leader must be extra careful in the future!"
Wang Qing said, looking worried.
"Oh, an ominous place?" Shen Zhui raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Does your sect have any good suggestions?"
"Perhaps we, the Sword Sect, can send someone to check and see if there are any evil objects disturbing the feng shui... This is just my personal idea." Wang Qing smiled and did not continue.
"Thank you City Lord for reminding me, but I won't bother Sword Sect with this matter."
Shen Zhui nodded lightly.
"Haha, let's not talk about this anymore. Sect Leader Fang has come all the way. Come on, I'll give you a toast." Liao Wushuang raised his glass.
"Sect Master, you're welcome." Shen Zhui said calmly and raised his wine glass.
"This glass is a good wine. My master will not serve it to anyone who is idle. I am lucky enough to taste it thanks to the blessing of Sect Master Fang. Come on, I will also offer a glass to Sect Master Fang!" Wang Qing raised his glass again.
Shen Zhui picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Liao Wushuang and the disciples watched Shen Zhui drink it with their eyes shining.
After Shen Zhui put down his wine glass, he immediately smiled and said: "Sect Leader Liao, I just heard my disciple talk about this 'unknown place'. Since the apprentice is so 'erudite', I think the sect leader will have more insights. I wonder if Zong Leader Liao can explain a few things?"
Liao Wushuang smiled slightly and said: "Qing'er and the others just like to listen to some weird talk, Sect Leader Fang doesn't need to take it to heart."
"On the contrary, Sect Master Fang has now returned to Guangling Cave Heaven, and we have to guard against some foreign enemies."
Shen Zhui's brows twitched, and he cupped his hands and said, "I'd like to hear the details."
Liao Wushuang continued: "There are countless sects in Guangling Dongtian, and the truly influential first-class sects include Tianjue Sect, Jiuyin Sect, and Corpse Puppet Sect! But what is truly terrifying is not these three sects themselves, but these three sects The forces behind it! Behind the Tianjue Sect is the Liuhe Sect; behind the Jiuyin Sect is the Fang Jiuyou Sect; and the Corpse Puppet Sect is secretly supported by the Taishang Sect."
"These first-rate sects, in turn, follow orders to control the other second-rate sects and control them at every level!"
"On the surface, the three super sects do not interfere in the internal affairs of each sect and follow the rules of the alliance and are not allowed to send anyone to intervene. But in fact, the other sects in Sanyin Sanling Cave Sky are already riddled with holes and are controlled by others!"
Liao Wushuang's language is astonishing! From the very beginning, he directly points out this relationship.
It should be noted that this is something that can be done but cannot be said in the world of sects. Some take the initiative to join the three super sects, and some take the initiative to intervene.
"This is happening!" Shen Zhui said, pretending to be shocked.
"I didn't expect that the three major sects would ignore the alliance agreement!"
Liao Wushuang said with emotion: "I remember that in the past, the sects were still free, pursuing the great road, not fighting against the world, and being leisurely and comfortable. Nowadays, there are not many sects that still maintain their impartiality. Only the ancestor Qingyang of the noble sect has always been This makes us respect you a lot."
He raised his glass and saluted again: "Come on, Sect Master Fang, I'll toast you for this!"
Shen Zhui quickly said he didn't dare and drank a second glass of wine.
Liao Wushuang's eyes flickered, and the look he looked at Shen Zhui became a little strange.
However, Shen Zhui seemed not to notice the atmosphere in the venue. Instead, he filled up his wine glass and raised his third glass of wine.
"Sect Master Liao, I also want to toast you. There is a saying that I don't know whether to say or not."
"Although Sect Master Fang speaks out, the sect world is so treacherous and ever-changing nowadays, there are not many opportunities for Sect Master Fang to speak freely, but in my case, I might as well speak out." Liao Wushuang said with a smile.
Shen Zhui didn't seem to hear the special meaning of Liao Wushuang's words, so he drank it all in one gulp.
Then he said with a smile: "I wonder which of the three major sects the Sword Sect has taken refuge in?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was silence.
All the disciples and Liao Wushuang put down their wine glasses and stared at Shen Zhui closely.
Shen Zhui didn't care and looked directly at Liao Wushuang.
"Haha, okay! Let me tell you!" Liao Wushuang laughed and stood up: "The one my Sword Sect joins is the Liuhe Sect!"
As soon as the voice fell, Liao Wushuang flicked his sleeves, and the delicacies on the table fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Whoosh!!
The sound of clothes was everywhere in my ears, and in the blink of an eye, there were masters with cold faces everywhere in the lobby. These people had bright eyes and powerful auras, and none of them were lower than the seventh level of supernatural power!
Shen Zhui put his hand on his head and looked at Liao Wushuang in shock: "You have been poisoned!"
"The wine is good wine, but it's a pity that only the venerable can drink it." Liao Wushuang shook his head and said. "This wine is called 'Venerable Pour'. Drinking it is just like ordinary wine. If the venerable drinks it, it will be shaken. Those who drink it will fall into coma for a month if they drink it."
"Fang Liang, my apprentice asked you earlier if you could return the land occupied by the Qianyuan Sect. You refused. No wonder I didn't give you a chance."
"The clan wants to kill me?" Shen Zhui asked.
"Your Qingyang Sect is no longer the Qingyang Sect before, and your Fang Liang is no longer the temperament of your master." Liao Wushuang's eyes flashed with a trace of fierceness.
"I'm sorry, Sect Leader Fang!"
A sigh suddenly sounded in the room, and everyone followed the sound, only to see Shen Zhui put his hands on the table and slowly stood up.
"Sect Master Liao, this sect leader will also give you an opportunity now to put the nine cities south of Wulong City under my Qingyang Sect. Make way for the south, and Fang promises that he will never touch your Sword Sect. ,how?"
A cold light flashed in Shen Zhui's eyes.
"What's going on!" Liao Wushuang looked at Shen Zhui dumbfounded: "You are not a Venerable, how could there be nothing wrong with you!"
Shen Zhui smiled coldly. The extreme golden body was invulnerable to all poisons, and the dark gold secret pattern body was no different from the special physique. Moreover, Shen Zhui's cave world was extremely powerful. How could he be knocked down by three glasses of wine?
"You are indeed weird, but no matter how strong you are, it is still a delusion to want Wulong Jiucheng! Come on!" Liao Wushuang immediately ordered.
"Sect Master Liao, are you refusing? Do you think these people can take over this position?"
Before he finished speaking, Shen Zhui clapped his palms, and two bloody handprints appeared on his back. At the same time, the blood soul marks on the two masters on the left and right penetrated the soul defense.
"Kill him!" Liao Wu said in a deep voice with a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes.
Before the voice fell, countless masters swarmed out, and the hall was filled with the dancing light and shadow of flying dragons.
"Boom~" Shen Zhui unsheathed his long sword.
"Qingyang sword technique, the scorching sun burns the sky!" A domineering sword energy burst out, instantly cutting more than ten masters into pieces. At the same time, Shen Zhui rose into the air, and a golden sword rushed into the sky without leaving a trace, breaking through The barrier on the roof of the City Lord's Mansion instantly flew out of the surrounding area and into the sky.
"I'll kill you!"
Immediately there was a shout rising into the sky, and it was the fourth disciple Wang Qing.
The fourth disciple, Wang Qing, was at the pinnacle of his magical power. He relied on his rank to crush him, so he wanted to use his sword to crush Shen Zhui.
"Blood Soul Seal!"
Shen Zhui stood in the air, and immediately two huge bloody palms shot out.
"Crack!"
The tall city lord's mansion collapsed in an instant, and Wang Qing was buried in the ruins, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
One after another figures soared into the sky from the collapsed city lord's palace. The auras of these people were powerful.
"You are no match for him, get out of the way!" Suddenly, a ray of sword light rose into the sky from the depths of the ground and headed straight for Shen Zhui's head.
Sword King Liao Wushuang!
Shen Zhui's eyes flashed, he quickly moved away, and shouted: "Sect Leader Liao, since your Sword Sect is seeking death, you can't blame me!"
Blood Soul Seal! Several Blood Soul Seals blasted in all directions, instantly helping Jin Yi next to him to escape the siege. At the same time, he knocked down the opponent's five ninth-level magical powers, instantly enslaving them.
"Boom~" A sword light erupted, pressing towards Shen Zhui.
"Get up!" Shen Zhui opened his hands, and Liao Wushuang's fourth disciple Wang Qing and five other ninth-level supernatural powers immediately rose from the ruins and reappeared next to Shen Zhui.
"Master." The five of them looked at Shen Zhui enthusiastically.
