The other three people stopped joking and pricked up their ears.
"This operation... a lot of people will die! If any of you don't want to go, I can arrange for you to stay here."
After hearing Lin Lang's words, the three of them were slightly shocked, but no one spoke, because everyone knew that this was the best time for revenge.
"Okay, I get it."
Lin Lang understood their feelings, so why didn't he choose to take risks because he was not like this?
The time soon came to the 18th.
All the sects in the Southern Territory are moving towards the Heaven and Earth Alliance.
Heaven and Earth Alliance, the fourth-ranked super sect in the entire southern region.
In addition to the three holy places in front - Poseidon Temple, Cloud Summit and Misty Immortal Palace, the Heaven and Earth Alliance is the most powerful sect in the Southern Region.
It is not appropriate to call it a sect. In the early years, the Heaven and Earth Alliance was formed by countless casual cultivators, so it was given the title "Alliance".
The Southern Territory’s Spirit Fighting Conference is held every four years in the Heaven and Earth Alliance.
In an instant, more than 500 sects of various sizes in the Southern Territory led their best disciples and rushed towards the Heaven and Earth Alliance day and night.
Therefore, the immortals, who are rarely seen on weekdays, have been appearing frequently in cities of all sizes recently, causing ordinary people to stop and look at them with curious eyes.
You can even see various birds in the sky, carrying immortals flying at high speeds. However, such things are usually the work of large sects, and most monks still have to rely on their own feet to walk there.
Of course, the Suzaku Sect was not left behind. The person in charge of leading the team this time was the leader, Men Chengshu, and he was leading almost the strongest disciples of the Suzaku Sect.
Qi Yan, who is at the tenth level of the Yuling Realm, Li Shanhe, who is at the seventh level of the Yuling Realm, Ma Ling'er, Chifeng and Mu Zhiyuan, who are at the tenth level of the Psychic Realm.
The six people were walking on the tree-lined path. Only Ma Ling'er and Mu Zhiyuan were chatting and laughing. The other male disciples kept their mouths shut. They were not easy to deal with in the first place and had nothing in common to talk about.
"Qi Yan, are there no signs of breakthrough yet?"
Hu Chengshu spoke calmly.
Qi Yan nodded reluctantly.
He has been staying at the tenth level of the Yuling Realm for many months, but there is no sign of a breakthrough. If he can break through to the Wandering Spirit Realm, he will definitely improve the performance of the Suzaku Sect by several levels. This is an extraordinary thing for the Suzaku Sect.
meaning.
But there is no time. He is already twenty-seven years old this year. He must have broken through to the realm of wandering spirits in the next Spirit Fighting Conference, but he will be thirty-one by then and will lose the chance to participate.
Qualifications for the conference.
Because the Spirit Fighting Conference is ultimately a competition between new disciples, it is stipulated that only those thirty years old and below can participate in the conference. The next one will only be based on the performance of Li Shanhe and these core disciples.
Hu Chengshu nodded and stopped talking.
It is estimated that this time's results will be as usual, ranking in the eighth or ninth place. However, Hu Chengshu has placed a lot of expectations on Mu Zhiyuan. The progress of this disciple's realm cannot be described as rapid. Those super
The top disciple of the sect is probably only as fast as this, which is what makes Hu Chengshu most gratified.
"arrive!!"
Ma Ling'er, who was walking at the front of the team, suddenly pointed her finger and shouted in surprise.
What appeared before everyone's eyes was a huge venue with no end in sight.
The venue was made of brand-new bluestone bricks, with huge flags of the Heaven and Earth Alliance planted everywhere, sounding in the breeze. Surrounding the venue were temporary tents for people to rest. Although they were tents, they were also made of hard green cowhide.
, made of barbaric sheep bones. There is a box of incense placed in front of each tent, and the faint fragrance can be smelled from a long distance away.
In the center of the venue is a huge martial arts arena. The audience seats are arranged in a staircase shape. The area in the middle for the disciples to compete is paved with hard diamonds to prevent the disciples from damaging the ground too seriously during the competition.
.
In the southwest corner of the venue stand two large mountains that reach straight into the sky. From a distance, you can see the disciples going up and down the mountains one after another. Those are the disciples of the Tiandi Alliance, responsible for transporting the materials that will be used in the conference to the venue down the mountain.
"Wow, I didn't expect this spirit fighting conference to be so grand. The Heaven and Earth Alliance is so generous."
Mu Zhiyuan covered her mouth and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Others were not as amazed as Mu Zhiyuan because it was not their first time attending the conference.
However, when they came for the first time, they were even more surprised. To put it bluntly, the foundation of the Suzaku Sect was not as good as others. Although the Suzaku Sect ranked among the top 100 among the more than 500 sects in the Southern Territory, it was not as good as the sect ranked No. 100.
Compared with the four super sects of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, it is still far behind.
"Humph. I'm really ignorant. Just one venue..."
"Ahem."
Just as Qi Yan was about to taunt him, he coughed twice and stopped as if something suddenly occurred to him.
He was distracted for a moment and didn't notice that the person who exclaimed was Mu Zhiyuan.
Qi Yan's attitude towards Mu Zhiyuan is now very subtle. In the fight between the two a few days ago, Qi Yan defeated Mu Zhiyuan without any mercy and even injured her.
But a few days later, he heard a terrifying news, which was sent to him from the Qi family of the Wind and Fire Kingdom. It was said that Yan Luohong, the third prince of the Wind and Fire Kingdom, was killed in the palace hall under the eyes of the emperor.
Two unknown masters killed him.
The master who killed Yan Luohong also used Yan Luohong's blood to write eight characters on the wall of the hall: It's your turn next!
Who is next?? In addition to the third prince, will this assassin want to kill others?
Everyone in the Qi family and the court were secretly guessing about this person's identity. The Qi family only told Qi Yan the news because Qi Yan was usually very close to Yan Luohong.
For this reason, Qi Yan's father specifically asked him who the third prince had provoked recently, but Qi Yan was just stunned for a while, waving his hands and saying that he didn't know.
But when he returned to the sect, his back was already wet with sweat.
Lin Lang! It must be that boy!! He is back for revenge!!
And "next" naturally refers to myself.
Because it was Yan Luohong who instigated him to kill Lin Lang.
After learning the news, Qi Yan never dared to step out of the sect again. He knew the power of the Royal Family of the Wind and Fire Kingdom very well, including the two top masters of the Wandering Spirit Realm, Dao Jue and Jian Jue, but even so,
Yan Luohong was killed by Lin Lang somehow.
Therefore, Qi Yan lived cautiously and fearfully every day. If he bumped into Mu Zhiyuan on the road, he would stay far away.
Mu Zhiyuan glanced at Qi Yan strangely. She didn't know about the news of Yan Luohong's death. Mu Hengtian was just a small city lord of Crescent City. The royal family deliberately blocked the news. Mu Hengtian also
Not qualified to know.
…
Under the leadership of Hu Chengshu, a group of people arrived at the entrance of the venue. However, there was already a long queue, and the people in the queue were all people from various sects dressed in different clothes.
Hu Chengshu frowned slightly, patted the person in front of him on the shoulder and asked: "Fellow Taoist, what happened in front? When will we have to queue up to enter?"
The person in front turned around and saw an old man with a thin face, wearing a black and white monk's robe, with sharp eyes and thin lips, who looked like he was not easy to get along with.
The old man looked Hu Chengshu up and down, then raised his head and replied lightly.
"I don't know."
The old man is the great elder of the Mad Wolf Sect. In the last Spirit Fighting Conference, the Mad Wolf Sect ranked 349th among all sects, which is considered a relatively low-ranking sect.
But this year is different. The Mad Wolf Sect has produced an outstanding disciple, who has reached the seventh level of the Spirit Control Realm at the age of twenty-two. With this disciple, it is conservatively estimated that he can reach the rank of 200.
So the old man was very arrogant today, and looked at others with a bit more arrogance.
"oh."
Hu Chengshu nodded slightly, not angry at the old man's attitude.
Several people did not wear the fancy clothes customized by the Suzaku Sect today. Instead, they wore thick cotton clothes. That's why they were not recognized by the old man.
Because the Tiandi Alliance is located in the south of the Southern Territory, the weather here is much colder, so everyone changed their clothes to keep warm.
…
Seeing that the queue was getting longer and longer, people in front and behind gradually began to complain.
“What’s going on this year? It’s so slow to enter the venue??”
"Yes, I've been waiting for half an hour, can you hurry up?!"
"If the Heaven and Earth Alliance can't do it, how about giving the power to hold the Spirit Fighting Conference to me, the Moon Swallowing Sect? Hahahaha!"
…
The voices of everyone came one after another, but the disciple guarding the entrance remained calm and acted as if he had not heard it.
Suddenly, there was a crane cry between the sky and the earth, and a white crane with feathers like snow and claws like steel hooks gracefully fell from the sky. There were also four young girls in snow-clad clothes and an elegant middle-aged man standing on it.
The young man is high-spirited and the young girl is charming. Even the elegant middle-aged man gives people a feeling of spring breeze and is very friendly.
"They are from the White Crane Sect!!"
"Elder Yi!! We haven't seen you for so many years, but you still have the same style!"
"Elder Yi! I'm really looking forward to this year's competition!"
As soon as the five people on the white crane landed, countless people from the sects gathered around and greeted them with smiles. The middle-aged man known as Elder Yi also returned the greeting without any airs.
"White Crane Sect?"
Hu Chengshu raised his eyebrows slightly. The White Crane Sect was the fifth-ranked sect in the previous term, second only to the Heaven and Earth Alliance in strength. The people of the White Crane Sect are all outstanding in talent, appearance, and character, and their reputation in the Southern Territory is also very good.
He is the object of competition among many sects.
However, when Hu Chengshu saw so many people surrounding him, he did not go up to say hello.
Although the White Crane Sect is also one of the top super sects, in the realm of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, it still has to abide by the rules of the Heaven and Earth Alliance. And they, the White Crane Sect, still know a little about the reasons for this matter. So they all
Obediently, I was at the end of the queue.
As time went by, many sects came one after another. Some of them came on birds and beasts, and more of them came on foot. Those who domesticated spiritual beasts were all large sects in the Southern Region.
A sect, or some sect specializing in beast control.
All the sects greeted each other warmly, but only the Suzaku Sect was a little deserted.
It's not that the Suzaku Sect has a bad reputation and no one wants to make friends with it. It's just that the few people wearing unrecognizable clothes today didn't pay attention to them.
Finally, Hu Chengshu saw an old acquaintance.
This man was tall and thin, with a beard as long as a snake. He was followed by nearly ten disciples, all of whom were tall and tall and carried a sword behind their backs.
Chaotian Sword Sect! Qian Wuyou!
Ever since Feng Chuixue rectified the name of the Suzaku Sect, the relationship between the two sects has become good, and the old guy Qian Wuyou will often come to the Suzaku Sect as a guest.
Hu Chengshu waved to him, Qian Wuyou's eyes lit up immediately, he walked forward quickly and bowed his hand to Hu Chengshu.
"I didn't expect that the head of the household would be one step ahead of me! Qian is really looking forward to the performance of the Suzaku Sect this time. Hahaha."
Qian Wuyou said while stroking his beard, his old face full of smiles.
Hu Chengshu waved his hand politely: "How can you compare with your sect? I just hope that our two sects will not meet on the field."
The conversation between the two was overheard by the old man from the Mad Wolf Sect in front of him. He immediately turned his head, bent his waist by three points, and looked at Hu Chengshu in shock.
"Dare I ask... is Taoist friend a member of the Suzaku Sect?"
Before Hu Chengshu could answer, Qian Wuyou introduced him first.
"That's right! The person standing in front of you is none other than the current head of the Suzaku Sect, Hu Chengshu!"
Qian Wuyou's voice was so loud that many people around him could hear it.
As soon as the three words "Suzaku Sect" came out, it immediately attracted countless people's discussion.
"The Suzaku Sect...is it the Suzaku Sect from the Wind and Fire Kingdom?"
"I'll go! I have to go up and say hello to the people of the Suzaku Sect!"
"Hey, wait for me, I'll go too!!"
Suddenly, countless people surrounded Hu Chengshu and several disciples of the Suzaku Sect, greeting them warmly.
They said that they had already heard about the fame of the Suzaku Sect. Wherever they went when they had time, they would definitely show their kindness as landlords, or wish the Suzaku Sect good results this year. In short, they were all compliments.
In previous spirit fighting conferences, there were never so many people surrounding the Suzaku Sect to say hello. The current battle was no less spectacular than the White Crane Sect just now, and was even better!
Of course Hu Chengshu knew the reason for this, and he also enjoyed this feeling. Although the current strength of the Suzaku Sect is not worthy of its reputation, it will definitely get better and better with the rectification of the name by the Emperor of Heaven.
The old man in front of Hu Chengshu was even more panicked and bowed down tremblingly.
"I had a bad attitude earlier. I hope the head of the household won't take it to heart. I, the Mad Wolf Sect, have definitely admired the Suzaku Sect for a long time, and I don't mean any disrespect at all!"
"Hey! What are you talking about, fellow Taoist? I can't bear such a big gift, hahahaha."
Hu Chengshu quickly helped the old man up and comforted him.
The old man of the Mad Wolf Sect wiped his sweat and said respectfully: "The head of the household has a kind heart, and I can't even match it!"
