Chapter 324 Volume C Foreign Invasion, Grand Ceremony
Chen Huaisheng's words made Wang Yao's heart hang again.
The idea of the head and the chief is that after a year of migration to the north, they finally settled down. In the next three to five years, it would be best to stabilize the situation and avoid any problems, so that the disciples of the sect can practice with peace of mind and wait for the recovery and growth of the sect's strength.
Like Li Yuyunyou Secret Realm to attack the Purple Mansion, Xu Tianfeng, Cao Renben and Gou Yiwei to attack the foundation, and others like Liu Chun, Yao Liwei, Zhao Sitian and others are expected to attack the foundation within five years.
If everything goes well, within three to five years, the number of Purple Mansion True Men of Chonghua Sect can increase to three, and the number of foundation-building spiritual practitioners can increase to eight to ten.
This is still excluding the number of old cultivators such as Yang Delong and Sun Chengyi, who are nominally foundation-building but have basically lost their foundation-building strength.
But all this needs to be based on the sect's three to five years of peaceful practice environment, so that all disciples can practice with peace of mind.
But if there is a situation like last year where wars continue, people like Xu Tianfeng and Cao Renben who are in seclusion may have to come out before they can break through.
The current strength of the sect is not optimistic. The departure of Tong Baichuan and Ou Qingchun still brought irreparable losses to the sect.
Now in an unsafe environment like Hebei, the sect has recruited so many young disciples, who basically do not have combat effectiveness, which is even more dangerous.
"Is the situation of Lingyun Sect and Jiulian Sect really so bad?" Wang Yao lowered his voice: "I know that the situation of Lingyun Sect is very bad, and it is supported by the two purple palaces, but what about Jiulian Sect? I know that they are not harmonious, but it has been like this for many years. How can it deteriorate to the point of abandoning Lingyun Sect?"
"I am not very clear about the specific situation, but I am very sure that if Lingyun Sect or us are in trouble, I am afraid that Jiulian Sect will at most shout a few words, and it will never be possible to send some people to Liao County to support the scene like a few years ago."
Chen Huaisheng replied with certainty, which made Wang Yao upset, and Yao Liwei and Zhao Sitian on the side were also secretly shocked.
Wang Yao wanted to communicate more with Chen Huaisheng, but the time and place were not suitable. More and more people came in from Chonghuatai, and Wu Tianen also appeared.
Wang Yao could only put this aside and stood up to greet Wu Tianen. The two of them were the least experienced among the top leaders, so they naturally had to come earlier than others.
Wang Yao left, and Yao Liwei followed him.
As more and more people arrived, Yao Liwei was the deputy host of this ceremony, assisting You Shaoyou, so he had to go on stage first and do some preparations.
Only Chen Huaisheng and Zhao Sitian were left.
Zhao Sitian's face was also very bad. He urgently needed a stable time to impact the ninth level of Qi Refining. If the situation was not good and he was often interrupted, he would probably become the main force with his status, and he was afraid that he would not have enough time to practice in seclusion.
"Will this year be another turbulent year? Huaisheng, you have never brought us any good news." Zhao Sitian took a deep breath and smiled bitterly: "Do you know that since the heavy snow in various places ten days ago, monsters have begun to appear frequently again? Bajiaozhai was attacked by a group of gray wolves, and more than a dozen people died..."
Gray wolf?
Chen Huaisheng was surprised, "How could the gray wolf appear in Yanzhou? Isn't it only in Yunzhou and northern Youzhou?"
Although most monsters are not regional, there are still some special monsters with obvious regionality, and gray wolf is one of them.
This kind of monster is much more dangerous and has more amazing combat power than the strange wolf, which belongs to the same wolf family. A group of gray wolves basically consists of five to eight heads, among which there is a wolf king, which can reach the upper-middle level of combat power of the second-level monster, and the other gray wolves are basically close to the second-level monster. Gray wolves that are over 60 years old and have Yuandan are second-level monsters.
Gray wolves live in the mixed grassland and mountainous areas in Yunzhou and the north of Youzhou, and rarely go deep into the inland areas of Hebei. At least in Jinzhou and Yanzhou in southern Hebei, there is no news of gray wolves appearing.
"I don't know, it should be in the north of Youzhou. I don't know how it can cross the entire Youzhou and run to the border of Yanzhou, and bypass our Wolong Ridge. The Du family of Bajiaozhai has never encountered it, and it suffered a great loss all of a sudden..." Zhao Sitian shook his head.
"Shouldn't the Du family of Bajiaozhai ask for help from the Ning family of Youzhou? Their little strength can't stand up to a group of wolves." Chen Huaisheng sneered: "They are strictly guarding our Bajiaozhai, fearing that we will reach out to their territory,..."
"Ning family?" Zhao Sitian sighed and lowered his voice: "I heard that the head of the Ning family just passed away. I don't know whether it was passed away or died in an attack. Anyway, he is dead. The Ning family is now in a state of trouble and I am afraid they can't take care of Bajiaozhai."
The pass away is either too old and died of old age, or failed to break through the realm of cultivation and died of demonic possession. The latter is more likely.
As for the attack, Chen Huaisheng felt that it was even more of a story. Who could attack a purple mansion to death?
Who dares to stroke the tiger whiskers of the Ning family, the first family in Youzhou?
But if he really died in an attack, then those who dared to attack the Ning family's purple mansion and succeeded were naturally not ordinary people.
Moreover, the Ning family's purple mansion was attacked and died, so this news itself has too many hidden inside stories.
The Ning family is the number one family in Youzhou with three purple mansions. Although this title is a bit exaggerated, those who dare to have this title must have some strength.
In Youyan territory, who dares to be so rampant?
Chen Huaisheng thought before that it was just the border of Yanzhou that seemed uneasy, but now he felt that the whole of Hebei was not at peace.
"Do the Deacons and Presbyterians know about this situation?" Chen Huaisheng tilted his head and asked.
It seems that Zhao Sitian has not been idle this year since he came to Yanzhou, and he also has his own channels for intelligence information.
In fact, this situation is quite normal.
Just like when he took the lead and quickly established his own network of contacts in Shitangzhuang, Datuweizi and Minjialou, Zhao Sitian will also use the same method to build his network of contacts in Fuyang Road and even Yanzhou Liudao. people network.
Moreover, Zhao Sitian is known as the number one genius in Zhonghua, and is about to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining, and is rushing to build the foundation, so he must be more attractive.
Inadvertently, everyone is quietly building their own power system inside and outside the sect. This sect of cultivating immortals is actually the same as ordinary society. In addition to the fact that one's own strength is the first, there is still no group of people who can be stronger alone. Everyone is neither stupid nor foolish, so they naturally understand.
Chen Huaisheng is even sure that maybe Xu Tianfeng, Cao Renben, Gou Yiwei and others are busy breaking through the realm and building the foundation, and may not have spent too much thought on it, but once they stand firm in the realm, sooner or later they will have to There have been some actions, and people like You Shaoyou, Ma Daochun and even Wang Yao have probably already taken action.
"How could they not know? It's just that they are probably still hesitating. Bajiao Village has a close relationship with the Ning family. The sect doesn't want to completely break the situation in Yanzhou and Hebei right now. Doesn't it just want to stabilize the situation? Given the situation, can we spare more time so that the sect can practice with peace of mind? It’s not worthwhile to get involved in these things.”
Zhao Sitian shook his head.
"But we want to avoid getting involved, can we?" Chen Huaisheng shook his head: "I'm afraid I can't help myself. Look at the Canglang attacking Bajiao Village. If the Ning family can't handle it, and the Du family is in a panic, who else can they turn to for help? ? Apart from us, it’s the Ding family from Baitapu. Although Ding Zongshou is from the Zifu, there are only a few people in total who don’t even care about the affairs of Baitapu and will go to Bajiao Village for you. disaster?"
This is the biggest difference between casual cultivators and sects.
There are only so many casual cultivators and disciples, so it doesn't matter if Ding Zongshou is a real person in Zifu. If one problem goes wrong, he may be able to take care of it, but if a few more problems go wrong, he will be completely powerless.
This is also the reason why the situation in Baitapu is the most unstable and unsatisfactory.
The Chonghua Sect was recruiting disciples over at Baitapu, but Ding Zongshou didn't care at all and let it go. This is also the main direction of the Chonghua Sect's infiltration now.
"Huaisheng, are you saying that Bajiao Village will ask for our name?" Zhao Sitian pondered: "Not to mention, it is really possible, otherwise they will only ask the Fengyi Sect of Zhai Valley Road, but this is a cross-border road. , I’m afraid Feng Yi Sect will also be concerned about our reaction, right?”
"That's right. Fengyi Sect will not get involved in this muddy water unless we reject Bajiao Village, but can we refuse?" Chen Huaisheng smiled and said, "Let's see the attitude of Master and the first one."
While the two were chatting, there were more and more people in the audience.
In addition to the disciples of this sect, many Taoists and even mortals who have attached themselves to the sect and do odd jobs in the sect have also called their friends to come to the stage and prepare to watch this annual sect celebration. .
Wang Yao and Wu Tianen were the first to take their seats, sitting on the last seats on both sides of the top, followed by Ma Daochun and Xu Muyang. Yang Delong and Sun Yicheng humbled each other for a while before taking their seats together, and then You Shaoyou, and finally Zhu Fengbi and Shang Jiuling.
This position order is also a matter of particular importance, and it seems that it is the same in the mortal world and in this sect of cultivating immortals.
Yang Delong and Sun Yicheng are very old, their beards and hair are white, and their faces are also very old.
Although the two of them are at the fifth level of foundation building, their strength has dropped to the second level of Qi refining, but they are still above Xu Muyang and Ma Daochun in terms of ranking.
But everyone with a discerning eye also knows that maybe within a year or two, the two of them will step down from their positions as elders and enter the real stage of retirement and waiting for death.
As Shang Jiuling took his seat, the entire stage became quiet. The disciples on both sides dressed up in colorful costumes and began to play music and ring bells. The New Year Ceremony of the Chonghua Sect officially began.
