Seeing this, Nanfeng nodded slowly. Almost no one had been selected in the previous three rounds of screening, but he couldn't select all of the more than a hundred people. He had to find a way to make a choice.
After a brief pause, Nanfeng said in a deep voice, "As an only son and daughter in the family, take a step back."
After Nanfeng finished speaking, some people on both sides stepped back, but not many of them. This was because, whether they were from the Xuan Clan or the Celestial Clan, people with a different bloodline would work hard to breed children, and only sons and daughters were rare.
Seeing that Nanfeng failed to reduce the number of people, Yuan Anning tilted her head and looked at him. Nanfeng thought about it and whispered, "I will personally test their martial arts skills."
Yuan Anning nodded and retreated. Nanfeng walked slowly towards the open space. After standing still, he waved to the Xuan clan, "With the cave god cultivation level, come and attack me."
After Nanfeng finished speaking, a group of Xuan tribe members who had cultivated themselves as cave gods looked at each other, and after a while, one person came out.
Nanfeng waved his hand, "Come together."
Everyone knew what Nanfeng was capable of, and they did not hesitate to give in. They stepped forward together, surrounded Nanfeng, activated their spiritual energy to transform into beast bodies, roared to support, and rushed to attack.
There were still nine members of the first-level Xuan Clan of the Cave God, who transformed into nine giant red-backed wolves and rushed toward Nanfeng from different directions. Nanfeng only tried one move per person, and he already had a rough idea of everyone's spiritual energy cultivation. Understand that since they are both cave gods, the gap between them is not very big.
Since Nanfeng's moves were extremely fast, and he was dragging shadows with him as he moved, it seemed to those watching the battle as if nine people were moving at the same time. When they screamed in surprise, the nine red wolves had already fallen and flew out.
Nanfeng used five points of movement when moving, but the spiritual energy used in the move was less than one point, only equal to Crimson Shengxuan. This was done to see who among the nine could counterattack in the shortest time after being frustrated. , the cave god's cultivation level is the lowest level of spiritual energy, and it is difficult to kill the opponent with his own spiritual energy. In this case, speed is particularly important.
He eliminated six people in one round and immobilized them with spiritual energy, leaving only the three who were the fastest to fight back after being frustrated.
After that, Nanfeng didn't take action again, but just moved around and observed. In addition to courage and aura, taking action before the battle also required a smart mind and quick reactions. He had to choose one of the remaining three people who was the most capable and best at fighting. of.
After several moves, Nanfeng stretched out his spiritual energy and immobilized the remaining three people. He raised his finger and pointed at one of them, then withdrew his spiritual energy and let everyone go free.
The selected person was a weak young man who couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. He was overjoyed after he returned to the human body. The remaining eight people had a look of envy in their eyes.
Nanfeng waved his hands to the crowd, signaling them to retreat, and then ordered the Xuan tribe members with Zhenghong aura to go, followed the same pattern, and selected another person.
For the sixth level of red and blue, each level selects one person. The Xuan clan selects six people in total. For the first level of the deep blue cave, Jiang Qi is selected.
After selecting the Xuan Clan, they also selected six people from the Tian Clan. The number of both sides was equal, and a total of twelve people were selected.
Nanfeng told everyone the time and place, pointed out the general path to the south, distributed the spiritual energy jade, and gave everyone some gold ingots as a means of payment.
People from the Xuan and Tian tribes recognized gold, but they didn't know that it was an easily exchangeable currency from the Middle Earth. It wasn't until Nan Feng explained it that they finally understood.
"We don't have much time. Say goodbye to your clan members as soon as possible and go south together as soon as possible." Nanfeng waved to everyone.
The selected people from the two tribes agreed in unison and returned to their respective formations.
Nanfeng walked up to Yuan Anning, stretched out his spiritual energy to wrap him up, and teleported back.
When he found himself in Huangsha Ridge, Yuan Anning was a little surprised, "Are you leaving now?"
Nan Feng walked to the pool and knelt down to wash his hands, "Why do I still have to say goodbye to them?"
"The origin of the two clans..."
Before Yuan Anning could finish speaking, Nanfeng waved her hand and interrupted her, "When they go south to the Middle Earth, there will be plenty of opportunities to inquire and pursue. Furthermore, we are not going to the far north to explore the secrets, but to go underground. In the cave, we saw the treasure of the Xuan Clan and knew the origin of the two clans, what can we do?"
Yuan Anning didn't answer.
Seeing that she didn't nod, Nanfeng knew that she had doubts in her mind, so he explained, "I have the ability to change the current situation of the two clans, but I don't know how to change it. When you are not sure whether something should be done, it is best not to do it. .”
"But you have said before that the two clans are waiting for an opportunity." Yuan Anning said.
"Yes," Nanfeng stood up and shook off the water droplets on his hands, "We are the cause of the twelve people from the two tribes going south. This is their opportunity. If any of them become Da Luo Jinxian, I can They can do what they do.”
Yuan Anning nodded slowly.
Nanfeng walked over and took her hand, "It's too cold on the ground. Let's go underground and see where I used to live."
After saying that, he took Yuan Anning and appeared in the underground abandoned city, where was the hut where he once lived.
The underground was dark, depressing and depressing. Thinking of Nanfeng living here alone for nearly ten years, Yuan Anning felt very uncomfortable and gave Nanfeng a distressed look.
But she also knew that Nanfeng brought her down to escape the wind and sand, and did not take the opportunity to complain and seek sympathy. The pained look on her face flashed away, and she continued, "The ghost monk in the north mountain of Chang'an City is a big cave cultivator. Since you have decided If he is going to fight, why choose Jiang Qi and others to go south?"
"She is very curious about Middle-earth, so I took the opportunity to let her travel around," Nanfeng said casually, "Actually, it's not just the deep blue hole. I won't send all of them to the remaining five levels, but they have both human and alien blood. , you can play as a human being, or you can play as an alien. If something goes wrong with the people I selected before, they can serve as substitutes."
Yuan Anning nodded and said, "The Xuan Clan's transforming beast body and the Celestial Clan's birth-producing armor are very different from the magic and martial arts of Middle-earth. When facing the enemy in battle, the special skills of the two tribes will definitely have miraculous effects."
Nanfeng nodded, took two pottery urns, turned them upside down against the wall, and sat on one of them.
Yuan Anning sat beside him, "It's a long and hard journey from the far north to the Middle Earth. If we encounter an accident on the way, wouldn't it cause more twists and turns and ruin our plans?"
Nanfeng smiled and said, "In your opinion, I should use my teleportation power to bring them back to Middle-earth?"
"Why not?" Yuan Anning asked.
"Forget it, let them practice for a while, and they can gain some knowledge along the way." Although Nanfeng was smiling, what he said was not the truth. The reason why he did not teleport the selected people from the two races to Middle-earth In fact, he had other concerns. He could bring everyone here at this time, but he might not be able to send everyone back after the war. He had to allow the people of the two tribes to find their own way home after the war.
"Where to go next?" Yuan Anning asked.
"Sit here for a while and then return to Chang'an." Nanfeng said.
"Are all the people participating in the war ready?" Yuan Anning was a little surprised, because the two of them had just come out of Chang'an not long ago.
"So be it," Nanfeng said, "Go back and meet Fatty and Hou Shulin to fill in the gaps. There will be no time to spare. Zombie Ji Su and Tie Hua's immortal immortal king are both earthly immortals. These two people I can only send one person to fight, so the species participating in the battle will be missing, and I have to find a way to complete it. Also, Zhang Luoyun is the son of the Jade Emperor, and he is now infected with corpse poison. If I send this person to fight, I still need to find a way to obtain the heaven. Drink water and expel the corpse poison to restore his vitality. There is also Ding Qizhong who is good at using flying knives. This person is a mysterious cultivator of Danlan Cave. I intend to let him be promoted to the Zhenglan Third Cave to replace Chang Le. He has already learned from Uncle Wang before. After asking for the fifth-turn elixir, we will have to think about it a bit and decide whether to let him advance to the third hole."
"The black iron flying knife you asked me to build earlier was given to this person for use?" Yuan Anning asked. As Nanfeng said, there are still many trivial matters that need to be dealt with.
"I'm a little tired after running around for so long. I will try to take care of these trivial matters before the end of the year." Nanfeng said. To be fair, he was very pessimistic at this time, but he just didn't want to show it in front of relatives and friends. For a person whose time is short, his curiosity will be greatly reduced, and he is not willing to be distracted by others. If the time is long, he will not fail to visit the underground cities of the Xuan Clan and Tian Clan, nor will he not take the opportunity to visit The extreme north is looking for the whereabouts of Wei Qingxue. Wei Qingxue escaped from trouble that day and should have gone to the extreme north to find his daughter. Wei Qingxue was originally a member of the Shangqing Sect, and he had always been relatively close to the Shangqing Sect in his heart.
"That's good. The New Year is approaching, and Chang'an City must be a bustling scene. Zhengde and others will definitely return before the New Year." Yuan Anning said with a smile. In fact, it wasn't just Nanfeng, her heart was also gloomy and desolate. It was just the two of them. Although he knew it well, he deliberately hid it and did not reveal it.
"Let's go, I'll take you back." Nanfeng stood up.
Yuan Anning heard the hidden meaning behind Nanfeng's words, "Where else are you going?"
"The remaining matters are too trivial. I can handle them myself. Please work hard and perfect the laws of the Three Realms at home as soon as possible." Nanfeng said.
Yuan Anning nodded.
Nanfeng stood up and looked around, taking in everything around him.
Seeing him like this, Yuan Anning felt more and more ominous. Nanfeng said he was taking her down to have a look, but actually he wanted to come back and have a look.
"But what happened?" Yuan Anning asked anxiously.
"Huh?" Nanfeng tilted his head and looked at Yuan Anning, "No, why do you ask?"
"Are the two souls of Taiqing and Shangqing still at peace?" Yuan Anning asked.
"Still here." Nan Feng wanted to pat Yuan An Ning's shoulder to express comfort. After raising his hand, he lowered his hand to pat him down. He didn't believe in treating each other as guests. If a husband and wife hold a case together and treat each other with eyebrows and respect each other as guests, then they will not be far away from each other. .
After taking a shot, it felt good and he wanted to take another shot, but Yuan Anning dodged.
Nan Feng smiled proudly, then extended his spiritual energy, and teleported back with Yuan An Ning.
Back in Chang'an, except for the maidservant, Chu Huairou was still the only one there, and neither Fatty Changle nor Zhuge Chanjuan came back.
Nanfeng was not in a hurry to leave and stayed for lunch. Before leaving, he told Chu Huairou and Yuan Anning three things. One was that he would definitely return before the year. Second, if Zhuge Chanjuan comes back, don't let her go out again and stay in Chang'an to wait for him. The last thing is to wait until Fatty comes back and ask him to look for Lu Pingchuan near Shangqingzong and bring Lu Pingchuan back.
After the explanation was completed, Nanfeng teleported away.
Nanfeng never came back after he left, and no one knew where he went. Zhuge Chanjuan returned ten days later. The next day, Fatty and Changle returned. The day before the New Year, Fatty brought Lu Pingchuan back. Lu Pingchuan was in a low mood and was depressed. , as for the reason, everyone also knows.
Since Nanfeng had previously promised that he would return before the end of the New Year, although everyone was wondering what he was up to, they did not worry about his safety. On New Year's Eve, they put up lanterns and colorful decorations, organized banquets, and waited for his return to reunite. .
In the afternoon, Hou Shulin came to pay errands and brought several exquisite gifts. Each of these gifts, including Nanfeng, was a gift that everyone put a lot of thought into.
The sun sets over the west mountain, night falls, and the south wind does not come back.
I waited anxiously for the second update, but there was still no sign of him.
I waited anxiously until the third watch, when the vegetables cooled down and then cooled down again, several times, but the south wind never returned.
Everyone could no longer sit still and began to discuss the search.
At midnight, Nanfeng appeared, holding a small bag in his hand.
"Where did you go like this?" The fat man yelled angrily.
"Go to heaven for a while..."
