Qin Fangtian didn't die in the quiet room in the end. He tried it and found that the Fantian Seal was indeed very hard.
But he tried his best and barely got Lu Bei to agree that he must bring a few lackeys with him on this trip.
Firstly, the dog can only rely on the power of its master, and the bared fangs of a vicious dog can serve as a facade, but we cannot let Xuanlong underestimate the Tianjian Sect.
Secondly, the sect leader is of noble status and cannot do everything personally. If there are some ignorant bastards who want to provoke the Immortal Sword Intent, untie the dog leash and the lackeys will bite them to death.
Lu Bei felt that it made some sense, so he nodded and agreed, and by the way crossed out the first lackey proposed by Qin Fangtian, which was Old Qin himself.
The Tianjian Sect at this time is not the same as before. There is only Qin Fangtian who is in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. He cannot be dispatched easily. The only way is to guard the old nest.
The sect leader couldn't just wander around like that. He remembered that he had a home in Yuezhou. But when he entered the house, he found that his home was gone.
Are you still counting on this platform to make money
…
Two days later, Qin Fangtian drew up a list of lackeys and presented it to Lu Bei.
Three people accompanied the sect master on this trip, all of them were at the fusion stage, they were the Nine Swords Elders Da Yan Tian Mu Li Chen, Da Wei Tian Zhan Le Xian, and the inexplicably additional Da Su Tian Zhan Hong Qu.
Why did Da Sutian, who was kept in the close custody of the sect leader, appear in the hands of Zhan Hongqu? Several elders, except for the old father Zhan Lexian who was quite emotional, subconsciously chose to ignore it.
They didn't dare to say anything or ask, thinking that it might be an accident and that Zhan Hongqu was lucky and found it in the sect leader's bed while he was sleeping.
You know what, the possibility is very high.
The list was not randomly arranged. It was the result of Qin Fangtian's careful consideration and was quite meticulous.
As we all know, when a cultivator reaches the Crossing Tribulation Stage, they are divided into several levels according to the number of times they have crossed tribulations. Although the Fusion Stage is not as detailed, it also has several different strength ranges according to factors such as the technique, comprehension, and magic weapons.
I won’t go into details about the ordinary fusion period, and just talk about the first-rate and top-tier ones.
Those in the first-rate fusion stage, such as Xiong Chu’s Xin Lijun and Xin Kuangjun, Wu Zhou’s Zhu Jingli and Zhu Xiuzhu, and Qi Yan’s Ji Yue, are all at this level, and have reached the great perfection of the fusion stage, and are only one step away from overcoming the tribulation.
The top fusion stage is relatively rare, at the level of rare and precious beasts. King Yuanxuan of Xiong Chu and Zhu Dao of Wu Zhou are able to use the fusion realm to fight against the powerful beings in the tribulation stage. They are all one in a million in terms of qualifications.
Lu Bei and Jian Xiong Dugu don’t count, one is cheating and the other is playing dirty.
Dugu, in particular, successfully survived the tribulation three times in a row, but found it troublesome to be struck by lightning and was restrained in fighting, so he gave up his martial arts three times in a row and refused to move from the fusion stage.
The deadbeats during the fusion period are even worse than cheating.
Mu Lichen originally belonged to the first-rate fusion stage. During the battle of Bulao Mountain, he showed combat power stronger than that of the Nine Sword Elders.
When the Tianjian Sect moved to Yuezhou, they saw that the Lingxiao Sword Sect was thriving and their disciple was elected as the Sect Master of the Tianjian Sect. The century-long haze in their hearts was swept away. The halo of their junior brother lit up, and their cultivation level increased along with their state of mind. They could fight against a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage with the Nine Swords Da Yantian.
In this trip, he is the vicious dog with bared fangs.
Let’s talk about cutting red yeast rice, which is the most particular.
Qin Fangtian was worried that Xuan Long was up to something, trying to deceive the sect master because he was young and ignorant, and to cheat and launch a surprise attack. Dozens of people besieged one person, intending to steal the bloodline of the Immortal Sword Master.
The above is the official version, which has been embellished with rhetoric.
Qin Fangtian knew the truth. The sect leader's private life was full of flaws. If the Zhao family of Xuanlong had any ideas, they could easily kidnap a group of hostages.
In order to prevent Xuanlong from tasting the sweetness, he deliberately included the red yeast rice in the list. As the saying goes, good things should be kept in the fields, and it is definitely better to shed it in one's own home than to let outsiders get the benefit.
Finally, Le Xian was killed.
At the beginning, he was not on the list, but the Nine Swords Elder Dawei Tianxie Qingyi was on the list.
When Zhan Lexian saw the list, he immediately flew into a rage, and pointed at Cheng Jian and his mentor Qin Fangtian, saying that they were pushing his granddaughter into the fire pit.
All kinds of curses were thrown out, such as disrespect for the elderly and pimp. Qin Fangtian's face turned red after hearing them, and he stammered that with Mu Lichen and Xie Qingyi around, the trip was destined to be safe. At most, the sect leader would touch his hand, but no one would die.
Qin Fangtian himself didn't quite believe what he said, let alone Zhan Lexian, who just laughed out loud on the spot.
Mu Lichen is definitely a generation apart from Lu Bei. If Lu Bei wants to go up to the roof and remove the tiles, Mu Lichen will be the first to set up the ladder. If there is no house, he will build one. If there are no tiles, he will burn them.
Xie Qingyi was not much better off. After drinking a bowl of the love potion that Lu Bei offered to him with both hands, he became obsessed with it and obeyed the sect leader's orders, like a real dog slave.
Not to mention trying to stop Lu Bei, they should be thankful if they could just stop guarding the door and kill Le Xian.
This group went on a long journey, as far as Xuanlong, to kill red songs and dance with wolves in the wilderness. They cried to the sky and the earth but got no response, and their end can be imagined.
Judging from the facts and the reason, Zhan Lexian is right.
Qin Fangtian snorted for a while, not daring to face his disciple's righteous gaze. Both sides took a step back. Le Xian was beheaded and Xie Qingyi was replaced, and they were put on the list of running dogs.
Mu Lichen is in charge of the appearance, Zhan Lexian is in charge of serving tea and water and running errands, Zhan Hongqu is in charge of security, and the personnel configuration is finalized to provide full-time personal protection for the sect leader.
The accompanying personnel determined that the next step was how to smuggle themselves across the border.
That's right, it's smuggling. The world of immortal cultivation has its own rules. You can't just go on a long journey whenever you want, especially across borders. You have to apply in advance.
That’s right, this is how cultivating immortality works.
Taking Wu Zhou as an example, one must first report to the local Huangji Sect headquarters, and then the Wu Zhou official will contact Xuanlong, and only after they give the nod can one enter the country.
This is true for ordinary cultivators, and even more so for high-level cultivators. Once their cultivation reaches the level of refining emptiness, they have the power to destroy an entire city by themselves, and it is too easy for them to cause some damage.
Lu Bei is going on a long journey this time, and there are a total of four people in the fusion stage including him. Not to mention whether Xuanlong dares to let people enter, the Zhu family will be the first to disagree.
He is the leader of the Tianjian Sect, a genius who was born from the smoke of the Wu Zhou ancestors' tombs. One day, he might become the second one to abandon the classics and never come back. What should we do
The higher the realm, the stricter the control; the better the aptitude, the tighter the pressure.
A slut like Lu Bei would feel uncomfortable if he didn't find something to do every day. Not to mention going on a long trip, even a trip to the capital would take him half a month to report.
As for why he was able to roam around and still get away with it, the reason is simple. The Purple Guards of the Xuanyin Division and the leader of the Huangji Sect shut him up with a statement that they were on official business and could not disclose confidential information.
This time when I go abroad, I can't fool people with my official business, so I can only choose to sneak into the village quietly.
Of course, from another perspective, as long as no one finds out, it is not considered sneaking. It is called doing it openly and without anyone noticing.
—
Twenty-three Kingdoms in the North.
A flash of golden light.
Because they were fast, no one noticed that Lu Bei and his three lackeys came to the border of Xuanlong openly.
The two words "Xuanlong" are easy to explain. They are broken down into black, mountain and dragon. Influenced by the branches of the Buzhou Mountains, there are few open plains in the territory, and black rocks are undulating and continuous. As a big country, the Black Mountain is its iconic symbol.
Compared with Wu Zhou, Xuanlong's territory is larger, with a total of 18 states. Because the population is similar, there are many uninhabited and dangerous places such as uninhabited areas and forbidden areas within the territory.
There is not much to say about the city. It is roughly equivalent to that of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, and the language and writing are also universal. After all, it was the territory of Daxia a long time ago, and they had the same writing system and the same wheel gauge, and the official unification of the human race was completed very early.
Apart from slightly different accents, the Xuanlong people were not much different from the Wuzhou people.
Cultivation is not included in this list. Xuanlong has a northern front to resist the demon clan. Its martial virtue is abundant to the point of overflowing. It is a powerful empire that Wu Zhou, Xiong Chu, Qi Yan are unwilling to provoke.
Of course, Xuanlong didn't have the time to cause trouble for them. The northern front alone was enough to tie up Xuanlong's entire national strength.
With a flash of golden light, the four of them easily passed the border of Xuanlong. Lu Bei wanted to experience the local customs and culture, that is, the nearby Xiuxian Mountain Gate, so he asked Zhan Lexian to collect intelligence.
It was in the wilderness, and Zhan Lexian dared not be careless, fearing that his precious daughter's innocence would be lost in the blink of an eye. He flattered his face and said that there was a city nearby, so he might as well ask the villagers for directions and buy a map instead of rushing around like a headless fly.
The four of them turned and entered the city. They saw the words "Yushan" on the city gate from afar. Because they were obviously not ordinary people, they were stopped and checked in front of the city gate.
Lu Bei was not panicking at all. He dared to go through the main gate, so he was not afraid of being questioned. Facing the doubts of the generals guarding the city, he took out a token from his arms.
Montenegro!
The Black Mountain Token was given by the White-haired Zhao Wuxie, who once said that with this token, one can travel freely in the land of Xuanlong.
In the secret realm of Yiliang State, Lu Bei laughed heartily and became the big winner in the end. He happily got the Xuanlong trio, and also got the sword villain Dugu and the siblings Zhao Wugou and Zhao Wuxia.
The original plan was to sell it to the Zhu family of Wu Zhou, but the Zhu family thought it was too hot to handle and dared not accept the goods. They only made a profit from the difference as a middleman and found Zhao Wuxie and Lu Bei to deal face to face.
The ransom Zhao Wuji paid was high, but also very unfair. He paid for the Zixiao Tower, one of the three sacred artifacts of Xiong Chu, in exchange for the sword master Dugu, and also got two extras.
Because they hit it off at first sight, Lu Bei felt like he had seen Fox Three in the fusion stage, so he firmly believed that Zhao Wuxie was not a serious person.
Seeing the Black Mountain Order, the general was slightly stunned, as if wondering why Lu Bei had black hair instead of white hair, but he didn't think much about it. He clasped his arms together, knelt on one knee, and called himself General Zhao.
The soldiers defending the city all knelt down in unison. This scene was like a domino effect that extended all the way to the end of the street in the distance. Not only the soldiers defending the city, but even the local people knelt down as well.
Lu Bei's eyes twitched, and for some reason, a sentence popped up in his mind.
Where the people’s will leads to victory, the great path can be achieved.
To be honest, I look down on Wu Zhou. If Xuan Long hadn't been dragged away by the demon clan, a fun-loving person like Zhu Xiu Shi would have been sent to the Zhao family's basement and whipped.
Lu Bei helped the general up and patted his stinking armor: "General, there is no need to do this. I just want to keep a low profile this time."
Like any other normal person, the garrison commander felt uncomfortable upon hearing Lu Bei's words when he first met him. He ordered the soldiers around him to stand up and asked whether Lu Bei and his party needed a carriage.
Forget about the carriage, it was too slow. Lu Bei was used to the fast pace and couldn't stand the slow pace, so he asked for a map covering the four states and led his three lackeys to stroll around the market.
See if there are any local specialties, delicious food, or fun things, and bring a few carts for the little foxes.
The four people walked away, and a white-haired figure stood on the city wall, with a folding fan covering half of his face, and his peach blossom eyes were full of unruly.
"Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect..."
"In Wu Zhou, I couldn't do anything to you, but now that you are in Xuan Long's territory, you no longer have the final say."
"That's right. With such a great opportunity, if I don't take a few hostages, how can I face my ancestors?"
