Tang Yan and others were furious, but the soldiers around them stared at them eagerly. Even Tang Yan, who suffered from hyperactivity disorder, did not dare to move much at this moment.
It's not that he doesn't want to move, but that under Elder Qingyun's stern gaze, even if Tang Yan wants to move, he will be controlled immediately.
Master Shuiyue raised his hands with a solemn expression and said, "It's true that our identities need to be verified, but this Taoist boy can prove our identities. In this way, we can finally enter the city, right?"
The little Taoist boy nodded and said, "General Situ, they are all friends of my master. I hope you can be accommodating and accommodating."
The young city guard, General Situ, narrowed his eyes, but a dangerous smile appeared on his face.
Upon seeing this, Elder Qingyun stopped Ye Bai and others behind him without showing any trace, and was ready to take action at any time.
"You can go."
Unexpectedly, General Situ didn't say anything, he just waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the gate.
Master Shuiyue and Elder Qingyun were stunned for a moment, but the two soldiers guarding the city moved aside, indicating that they could pass.
Just when they were about to leave, the contemptuous voice of the master and apprentice general came from a distance.
"Tianjian Sect, this should be the last time you can come to a place like this. In that case, why don't I let you go and make yourself look embarrassed in the Southern Territory Competition."
Shuiyue Zhenren had an angry look on his face, but one hand was tightly clenched under his sleeve.
After a long time, his expression slowly relaxed, he turned his head and said loudly: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I'm afraid our Tianjian Sect will never be absent from this Ruyi City again!"
"Having confidence is a good thing, but blind confidence is stupidity."
General Situ didn't take Master Shuiyue's words seriously at all.
Elder Qingyun frowned and said, "Let's go, what is there to say to such a person?"
Master Shuiyue nodded, said no more, and followed behind him towards the city.
As for Ye Bai, Tang Yan, Su Xue and others, after experiencing such a thing, their original good mood was gone, and their original expectations for Ruyi City were all gone.
Now everyone knows that Ruyi City is the largest city in the Southern Region. However, in a place like this, strength is the criterion for measuring everything. This is completely different from the casualness in the sect in the past.
difference.
Under the guidance of the little Taoist boy, half an hour later, after Zhang Wen and other ordinary disciples were arranged in the reception courtyard of the Southern Territory Alliance, Ye Bai and others arrived at the entrance of an independent courtyard.
Along the way, Ye Bai discovered that all the people coming and going in Ruyi City were monks, and even some of the servants had good cultivation.
All of these illustrate the uniqueness of this Ruyi City.
However, although they were in a bad mood, the products sold around them and the various buildings opened their eyes, and they felt much better.
The courtyard is very quiet, and the furnishings inside are also very simple. Except for a graceful crabapple tree, there is nothing out of the ordinary.
Of course, later Ye Bai discovered that being able to own such a courtyard was not a simple matter in itself.
After entering the courtyard, the little Taoist boy entered the room inside, apparently to make an announcement.
Not long after, Ye Bai saw a man with a face like a crown jewel, wearing green clothes, whose age was indistinguishable, walking out.
"Fellow Taoist Qingyun, Friend Shuiyue, long time no see, how are you?"
The man cupped his hand at me and said hello with a smile.
Master Shuiyue and Elder Qingyun also showed smiles on their faces and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, I'm sorry to trouble you this time. Otherwise, we might not even be able to enter the gate of Ruyi City."
"Hmph, that day Gang Zong relied on its strength and was always arrogant and domineering. However, I was unhappy with them and I had to give them a face."
The monk surnamed Zhang raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
Ye Bai and Tang Yan looked at each other and both felt that the monk named Zhang must be a person of great status. Apart from anything else, the confidence in his words was not something that Master Shuiyue and Elder Qingyun could possess.
Elder Qingyun smiled bitterly and said: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, to be honest, we had a conflict with their young sect leader on Tongtian Rock, that's why this happened."
At that moment, Master Shuiyue took over and told the story exactly as it was.
The monk surnamed Zhang's eyes flickered, and he said with a livid face: "Xu Rupeng's son Xu Xiuyang is a dandy himself, but Xu Rupeng had a son in his old age and regarded him as the apple of his eye, and even allowed him to practice the art of evil cultivation. I don't know.
We have killed so many female nuns, and even provoked the people from Hehuan Valley, so just wait and see the good show this time."
"Album Valley?"
The faces of Master Shuiyue and Elder Qingyun changed slightly, and they said with some fear: "Isn't this Xu Xiuyang afraid of death?"
The monk surnamed Zhang snorted coldly and said in disgust: "Xu Rupeng dotes on his son and personally destroyed the female cultivator from Hehuan Valley. Otherwise, there is no telling who will be the cauldron."
However, Ye Bai, Tang Yan and Su Xue were completely confused and had no idea about Hehuan Valley or anything else.
After a while, a smile appeared on the face of the monk named Zhang, but his eyes fell on the faces of Ye Bai, Tang Yan and Su Xue.
"Let's not talk about this. Are they the candidates for your two sects to participate in the Southern Region Competition this time?"
Elder Qingyun nodded, pointed at Tang Yan and said, "This is the incompetent disciple I told you about before, Tang Yan. Why don't you come over and pay homage to Uncle Zhang."
The latter sentence was obviously addressed to Tang Yan.
Tang Yan glanced twice and stepped forward to say hello, but he couldn't help but think that this uncle looked much younger than his master.
The monk surnamed Zhang nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, at such a young age, he has already reached the eighth level of Ningyuan. Qingyun, your Shen Sect has indeed had a genius appear this time."
"It's just average, it's nothing."
Logically speaking, under normal circumstances, Elder Qingyun should be very happy when he hears someone praising his disciple like this, whether it is true or false.
But now, he really couldn't be happy. This was also because in front of Ye Bai, how could Tang Yan be considered a genius?
The monk surnamed Zhang looked at him in surprise, pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Qingyun, could it be that this Tang Yan is not the best disciple of your Shen Sect?"
"No, Brother Zhang, you misunderstood me." (To be continued)
