"Master, it's nothing. It's just that the disciples from various holy places came here and had itchy hands. They wanted to experience the unique skills of other holy places, so they competed with each other for a few times."
Xu Zhu bowed slightly and said respectfully, but his eyes flickered a little. This answer satisfied Master Fu Qing. Although everyone knew some things and fought openly and covertly, it was completely different once they were revealed.
Just like anyone with a discerning eye can see the fights and grievances between disciples of various sects, but it doesn't matter that they are just fights between juniors. These things can't change anything. What can really change the decision-making is undoubtedly the top management of their sect. As long as they are still there, everything else is trivial.
There was no one who refuted Xu Zhu's words personally. After all, anyone who could become an elite disciple of a sect must not be a fool. Zhao Jiuge took a deep look at Ye Aotian and Xu Zhu. He remembered these two people, and they were so kind at the moment. There was no trace of the previous murderous look in his chuckle.
Fortunately, Jiulian, Fang Qiwen and the other four were not seriously injured and did not suffer any losses. Only Zhao Jiuge, whose own energy and blood were a little confused, glanced at Jian Wuxin without leaving any trace. Zhao Jiuge chose to remain silent. Anyway, he did not suffer any losses. What's the matter? I will wait until my strength improves to vent my dissatisfaction.
"You're such an adult and you still feel like a child. Since it's just a discussion and there's nothing important, let's talk about business." Hei Changqing waved his sleeves and said unhappily. His Wandao Sect disciples didn't suffer any loss, so they simply changed the subject and stopped getting too entangled in this matter. After all, except for these disciples, the people present were all human beings, and some things were tacitly understood.
But Song Rujing curled her lips unhappily and muttered something in a low voice, which made Lin Banruo pay attention to the little girl for a few times. Her strength just now made her even more impressed.
Who would have thought that the lively scene just now would suddenly become quiet, as if nothing had happened.
At this time, Bai Wufeng smiled kindly and walked to the middle. He and Hei Changqing were one of them doing a good job and the other a bad one, "Okay, we just discussed a few things in the Six Holy Lands. Due to the special nature of the matter, so Some rules have changed this year.”
The disciples were divided for a while, and they didn't quite understand what happened that would cause some changes in the exchanges between the Seven Holy Lands, which were unshakable despite their experience. In particular, it was Zhao Jiuge's first time to participate in this kind of thing and he had no experience. He couldn't help but become a little nervous when he heard this. He turned to look at his master and felt relieved when he saw that there was no strange color on Jian Wuxin's face. , obviously the master also approved this matter just now.
In the field, in addition to the two elders Black and White and Elder Xiaofeng whose momentum remained unabated, Granny Wuying had already retreated to the back of the Baihua Valley team. Her aura was restrained and her waist was hunched over, looking like an old man.
"Because the evil spirits have been too rampant recently, we just discussed it and decided that before the sect martial arts competition in two years' time, you chief disciples will be divided into two groups to carry out a mission, which is to go to a den to slay the demons. Eliminate demons." Then Bai Wufeng's voice sounded faintly.
The sound is not loud, but it is no more than a small stone thrown into the lake, causing a storm. These disciples were a little excited and a little regretful. Every time they thought about this year's Seven Holy Lands Exchange Meeting, there would be such fun things. However, it seemed that only the chief disciples could participate.
Zhao Jiuge was obviously a little thirsty. He had been practicing in the sect in the past few years and didn't go out much. It would be strange not to be nervous when he thought that he would soon have to fight with those ferocious evil spirits. His body was also trembling a little, and he knew that it was caused by the excitement caused by being nervous.
Those evil demons are different from spiritual beasts and some demonic objects, but they are also a kind of monks, but the skills practiced by these evil demons are obviously different from those of their sects.
Regardless of whether they practice swordsmanship, Taoism or Buddhism, they all have a common premise, which is to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, absorb it into their own bodies and transform it into spiritual power. For one's own use, those magic arts can be released by one's own means to increase the power, and this process of absorption can be called cultivation. The absorption of running skills is extremely slow, but one step at a time is steady and steady.
But those evil spirits are different. Some of them may also be righteous monks. Later, because they are obsessed with power, they feel that the normal cultivation path is too slow, so they pursue some cruel methods that can quickly enhance their strength. For the sake of strength, they will do whatever it takes to kill innocent people. People who do heinous things are called evil monks.
Nowadays, in the Chinese Dynasty, it can be said that there are countless evil sects, large and small, in the Thirteen States, but the most famous one is the Demon Sect. However, in recent years, the Demon Sect has been extremely low-key, and I have never heard of anyone doing anything harmful to the world. , As for those small things, these holy places naturally don't bother to care about them.
However, although they do not take the initiative, they will definitely not tolerate the evil demon sects in each state. They are especially prone to doing some harm to ordinary people. Therefore, if there is such a thing near the sect, they will definitely be killed if they know about it. Absolutely.
And the more this happens, the more cautious those among the evil spirits become, and while surviving, they secretly do some things that are harmful to nature and outrageous to both humans and gods, otherwise their cultivation level will not be improved.
Later, Bai Wufeng explained the reasons for this arrangement of the Seven Holy Lands Exchange Meeting, and only then did they understand what was going on.
The entire Chinese dynasty was divided into thirteen states. Basically, except for Xuankong Temple, each of the other six holy places occupied and managed one state. The address of the Xuankongguan sect has always been mysterious and no one knows it, and the number of people in the sect is pitifully small, so Xuankongguan is not included in this list.
Of the remaining seven states, two are close to the Southern Barbarian Forest, which is the Barbarian State where the Taiman Mountains are located. There are desolate people there, there are many birds, beasts and poisonous insects, and the environment is complex and dangerous places are everywhere, so few people choose to open there. Zongli faction.
The other five, one is an endless desert with a harsh environment. Although there are unique treasures and spiritual beasts, they are inaccessible. They are usually used as places for others to gain experience, so there are not many people.
Except for Nanzhou, which is close to the East China Sea Islands, the remaining three states are located in the Central Plains, which are the most prosperous and lively places, and most sects choose to establish their sects here.
And because Nanzhou is connected to the East China Sea and connected to some local cultivators on the islands in the East China Sea, basically no sect dares to intervene there.
Logically speaking, in the past few hundred years, the world of cultivation has been relatively peaceful. Except for the retreat of Xiaoyao Valley, which was at its peak a few hundred years ago, even the Demon Sect has begun to keep a low profile, so there have been no major events. At most, it is just... Some casual cultivators have lost their minds and become demons, doing things that go against the will of heaven for the sake of the strength they can quickly gain. However, in recent times, those demons seem to be resurrecting.
It is now a somewhat abnormal thing for everyone to shout and beat up an evil demon as soon as he discovers it, and this time it is the Troll King, the mountain lord of Taiman Mountain, who discovers something abnormal. Because the area where this incident happened is near their Taiman Mountain, which is the two states next to Manzhou.
As for other states, this situation has not been discovered so far. It must be because the two nearby states have complex and dangerous environments and are inaccessible. Under normal circumstances, they will not be discovered, and even if they are discovered, it is easy to escape, so they chose to do it there. Something terrible happened.
The decision of the high-level officials of these Holy Lands was a little suspicious. Could it be a sign that something else was about to break out? So they decided to just send the chief disciples of each Holy Land sect to deal with these children who were not very advanced in their cultivation. The demons are enough, just enough to find out the situation, and at the same time give them some experience.
If you don't go through ups and downs, you will never grow. If it weren't for such deliberate efforts, anyone present could kill all those evil spirits with just a casual visit.
This matter was raised by the Troll King, but it was advocated by Master Fu Qing. The other senior officials of the Holy Land present did not refuse. Although they did not know what kind of medicine was sold in Fu Qing's gourd, they did not do it in the name of slaying demons. What can I say? Besides, as long as the safety of the chief disciple of the sect can be guaranteed, it can just train the disciples, so why not do it. This is also equivalent to a disguised preparation for the sect martial arts competition two years later. Jian Wuxin has already decided that as soon as this matter is over, he will let Zhao Jiuge leave the sect to practice, and then come back to lead the sect disciples to participate in the sect martial arts competition.
Bai Wufeng, who was explaining the cause and effect of the medicine incident, glanced at the chief disciples of each holy land with a smile, and finally his eyes rested on Zhao Jiuge, and said softly, "There are two states in total, divided into two groups, one state for each group. It seems better to let Zhao Jiuge from Xuantian Sword Sect choose, after all, you are the weakest in cultivation."
As soon as he finished speaking, the corner of Zhao Jiuge's mouth twitched, thinking in his heart that he is a monk in the Mahayana realm after all, but his words still disgust me, a junior.
They could naturally tell the cultivation level of the disciples present at a glance. The Song brothers and sisters from Xuankong Temple and Lin Banruo from Baihua Valley were the strongest, followed closely by Ye Aotian and Xu Zhu. The worst ones were Jiang Huding and Zhao Jiuge. , neither of them broke the elixir and transformed into Nascent Soul. As the chief disciple, Zhao Jiuge's cultivation level was even inferior to that of many elite disciples.
Bai Wufeng's words were nothing more than a disguised mockery of Zhao Jiuge's poor cultivation, and a mockery of Xuantian Sword Sect's inferiority in each generation.
"Otherwise, Zhao Jiuge shouldn't participate in this demon-slaying experience. After all, his life is in danger if his cultivation level is too low. It would be bad if he gets injured."
Hearing this, Zhao Jiuge's expression suddenly changed. He could allow others to laugh at him, after all, the facts were there, but as long as he knew his strength, he didn't need to care about what others thought. But if he didn't go because he was afraid of danger, that would be truly embarrassing and he would not allow himself to do such a thing.
"Don't bother Bai Lao to worry about it. The journey of cultivation is to sail against the current or retreat if you don't advance. If you look forward and backward because of the slightest danger, then there is no point in ascending to immortality. I will set this demon-slaying experience." Zhao Jiuge's voice was a little cold, even though he looked cold. His tone towards Bai Wufeng, who was in the Mahayana realm, was also somewhat unkind.
"Well, it doesn't matter if your cultivation level is weak, because no matter how weak you are, as long as your mind is firm and you are not afraid of hardships, there will always be a day when your cultivation level will improve. Besides, those of you here didn't practice slowly from the very beginning. Which one Didn't they all come from the time when their cultivation was weak?" Jian Wuxin chuckled a few times. Originally, he didn't bother to pay attention to Bai Wufeng's harmless ridicule, but Bai Wufeng kept saying it again and again. Naturally, he couldn't stand the third objection to Zhao Jiuge.
Facing this meaningless verbal fight, the rest of the Holy Land just watched with cold eyes. They were more concerned about their disciples going to slay the demon.
"Okay, if that's the case, Zhao Jiuge, then you can choose someone." Bai Wufeng smiled calmly and said noncommittally. He didn't care at all about Jian Wuxin's words.
When the words fell, everyone in the audience focused their attention on Zhao Jiuge, wanting to see who Zhao Jiuge would choose to go with him. After all, this is a matter of life and death, and it is crucial to choose your companions, otherwise internal conflicts will break out before you even start taking action.
