Chapter five hundred and thirty seventh undercurrent
"What a ghost!"
The temporary residence of Shangqing Palace was filled with gloom and mist.
Damn it, who can tell them how a strong person like Chen Ying could appear in the remote Northland?
Master Liuyun had recovered at this time. Although his injuries were still heavy, they did not affect his normal actions.
The powerful Grand Master is already considered an otherworldly existence, and his vitality is definitely beyond everyone's imagination.
And at this time, his combat power was not affected much.
The Grand Master's most powerful method is to use the power of the soul to stir up the aura of heaven and earth. Whether the body is injured or not has little impact.
Of course, if he were attacked by a powerful Grand Master, the current injuries on Master Liuyun's body would be a fatal flaw.
"Hey, the old man is careless!"
Summoning the core disciples of the Shangqing Palace who were traveling here, Master Liuyun turned pale and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect to meet a strong man of the same level, and he is still so young. It is simply unbelievable!"
"Junior brother, are you saying that Lord Feihujing already has the strength of a grand master?"
In the competition, the old Taoist who was defeated by Xiong Dazhuang was shocked and said in disbelief: "Isn't it possible?"
Master Liuyun smiled lightly and said: "Senior brother, don't be too surprised. If a master who can defeat my junior brother does not have the strength of a grand master, would senior brother believe it?"
The old Taoist who was defeated by Xiong Dazhuang was silent...
"This time our Shangqing Palace has been humiliated a lot, but I don't know if it will affect our next actions?"
Another veteran took over the conversation, his eyes flashing and he said solemnly: "Although this action is just a test, there can be no mistakes!"
"Senior brother, you are worrying too much!"
Master Liuyun chuckled and said, "It's an accident that we encountered a strong man from Feihu Trail this time!"
"As long as our side and the Lotus Sect don't reveal the secret, there is absolutely no way that the Northland side will know our true purpose of coming!"
The old Taoist who was defeated by Xiong Dazhuang said helplessly: "I hope so!"
Master Liuyun said with a smile: "Maybe, we can still rely on the power of Feihu Trail, senior brother, don't be too pessimistic!"
"How to say?"
"We didn't know before that there were so many master-level experts in Feihu Trail. To be on the safe side, our manpower here is all elite!"
Master Liuyun smiled and said: "But Beidi is not the home court of Shangqing Palace after all. Shangqing Palace's influence here is limited!"
"If something really happens, I'm afraid I won't be able to count on support from the sect for a while!"
"Now, now that we know that Feihu Trail has several powerful Grandmasters, and even a Grand Grandmaster sitting here, we can take advantage of it!"
"I'm afraid that if I don't use it, I'll suffer the consequences instead!"
The old Taoist who was defeated by Xiong Dazhuang laughed bitterly and said depressedly: "The matter involves too much. If you are not careful, you may make someone else's wedding dress, so you have to be more careful!"
"There's nothing we can do about it!"
Master Liuyun said helplessly: "If we can defeat Feihu Jing and his party, we can also rely on force to seize control of Feihu Jing, or increase our voice. It's too late to say anything now!"
Another old Taoist suddenly asked: "Can we use the power of the imperial court to adjust the lords of Feihu Trail Territory?"
Master Liuyun was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile: "The situation here in the North is different from that in the hinterland of the empire. Lord Feihujing is the third son of Chen Longcheng, Duke of Zhenbei. It is impossible to replace him easily!"
"Besides, according to the letters sent by several nephews, Lord Feihujing manages the territory quite well, and he may not be willing to leave!"
"Then we can only follow my junior brother's ideas and test it carefully!"
The veteran who was defeated by Xiong Dazhuang shook his head helplessly. When he set off, he never expected that the situation would become so embarrassing.
But there is no way. Who knew that the small Flying Fox Trail actually has several powerful masters, and even the powerful grand masters have come out, what else can be said?
…
Different from the gloom and mist at the temporary residence of Shangqing Palace, the atmosphere at the temporary residence of the Lotus Sect is quite good.
Mainly, the bald old man was undefeated and could even compete with the three master masters from Feihu Trail. He showed extremely strong strength and diluted the embarrassment of the previous two old monks' defeat at the hands of Xiong Dazhuang.
Several core disciples of the Lotus Sect gathered at the temporary residence of Angry-Eye Vajra, and they were also discussing the competition and the subsequent actions.
"This time, Shangqing Palace was not only embarrassed but also suffered a huge loss!"
"Yes, who would have expected that Master Liuyun would fail so miserably after reaching the realm of a great master?"
"It should be said that Feihujing's strength is too strong!"
"Yes, not to mention Lord Chen who came out at the end, that guy who is as big as a bear is also incredibly powerful!"
"At that time, I saw him strike like a real giant bear in the forest. I don't know how he practiced this bear fist?"
The core disciples of the Lotus Sect, several middle-aged and elderly monks, were talking about it.
Obviously, this competition had a great impact on them. Even the monk, who usually seldom talks, couldn't help but express his opinions.
There's nothing I can do about it, the feeling of being kicked against an iron plate is really unpleasant!
But who would have thought that the high-end military force possessed by a mere marginal territory in the North would be even more exaggerated than the large martial arts sects in the hinterland?
It would be better if it was in the hinterland of the empire...
At the very least, the strength of the Lotus Sect is no joke. Even if it faces a large Jianghu sect, it can be targeted and force the opponent to bow its head and submit.
But now, in a marginal territory in the northern region, several strong masters appeared in one breath, and there might even be a great master among them, making them excited and unable to control themselves.
This is the Northland, and the influence of the Lotus Sect is not great. Even if something happens, it will be difficult for the sect to provide support.
In addition, we can’t continue to send master-level experts over, right?
Don't think that there are only as many masters as there are in the Lotus Sect. The spiritual energy recovery time is still short. Although the Lotus Sect has a long history and seizes the opportunity in time, cultivating many top experts in one breath, the number is only seven or eight.
There is only one powerful Grand Master!
Of course, there are three peak masters like the bald old man with an angry look at King Kong, which is enough to maintain the Lotus Sect's transcendent status.
A sufficient number of experts must be left at the sect's home base, otherwise if some forces sense the emptiness of the sect and suddenly launch a violent attack, the Lotus Sect may be completely destroyed.
As for the existence that the Lotus Sect is so afraid of, it is naturally the royal family and the imperial court of the Daqi Empire.
Don’t forget, Feihu Trail is under the direct leadership of the imperial court.
If the imperial court issued a strict order requiring Lord Feihujing to hold them back at all costs, the sect's lair might really be breached in one fell swoop. This was no joke.
The bald old man glared at King Kong and waited for the discussion to stop, then said slowly: "This time we don't want to compete with the Shangqing Palace for dominance!"
He is still very self-aware. Although there is only a small step between the peak master and the grand master, the gap is quite astonishing.
The gap between the one-foot Qi sword he condensed and the four-foot Qi sword condensed by Master Liu Yun was as huge.
In addition, there is a local snake master like Lord Feihujing, so there is really no need to take the lead. If something happens, he will not be able to withstand it at all.
Ignoring the surprised looks of his fellow disciples around him, he said to himself: "Just follow the disciples from Shangqing Palace. Anyway, we are just here to investigate this time, so there is no need to be too showy!"
After saying this, he paused, glanced around at his fellow disciples, and said in a deep voice: "Remember, if I encounter trouble, if I am temporarily restrained by my opponent and unable to escape, you will all retreat to the Flying Fox Path as soon as possible!"
this……
The middle-aged and elderly monks sitting around suddenly showed unhappy and hesitant expressions.
"Don't think too much, just do it!"
The bald old man glared at King Kong and made the decision directly, and said with a smile: "Since we know that there is a great master on the Flying Fox Trail, if we don't make good use of it, isn't there something wrong with our brains?"
"Elder, I'm afraid of attracting wolves into the house!"
"What are you afraid of? As long as we keep our mouths shut, the Lord of Flying Fox Trail will not rush into trouble with us!"
Having said this, the bald old man reminded: "Don't forget, among the audience outside the competition venue today, there are several strong men who came from outside the Great Wall!"
The middle-aged and elderly monks who originally wanted to say something suddenly felt awe-inspiring after hearing this.
If it hadn't been for the reminder from the bald old man with an angry look at King Kong, they wouldn't have remembered it for a moment. Those strong men outside the Great Wall would see today's competition in their eyes. Who knows if it would affect their subsequent actions?
After all, their destination was already deep outside the Great Wall, and they might be surrounded and killed by experts outside the Great Wall. This was no joke.
Now, their strength has been exposed early. If the other party deliberately targets them, no one can guarantee that they will be able to escape unscathed.
Thinking of this, they felt helpless and angry. Who knew that there was a great master in the Northland, and he was bumped into by them.
Such luck cannot be said to be good...
With such thoughts, the objections that were about to blurt out were immediately withdrawn.
Maybe, if something unexpected happened, they would have no choice but to run towards the Flying Fox Trail.
…
At the same time, at night, a group of mysterious beings quietly entered Beidicheng through unknown means and rushed to the prefect Xiong Gang's mansion as soon as possible.
When they learned from Xiong Gang the results of today's competition in the military camp and the experience of the competition, they couldn't help but express deep shock.
Damn it, there is actually a Grand Master in the North, and he is also a small Lord of Flying Fox Trail. It feels so ridiculous for them.
On second thought, they felt that this was a good thing and would be of great help to the purpose of this trip.
"Prefect Xiong, is it possible that Feihujing Lord Chen Ying can be temporarily assigned to follow our orders?"
The leader asked directly: "This will greatly help the purpose of this trip..."
