Chapter 161 Li Xuanming

Chen Lin still walked to the west gate.

The same city gate, the same person, but their moods are completely different.

"Stop, please show me your token!"

As one of the three core locations of the Righteous Path Alliance, Danding City is under strict management and is on guard against the entry of spies from the Qishen Sect. Everyone who enters and exits must check their tokens.

Chen Lin was not angry when he saw the guards blocking him, and said with a smile: "I am a casual cultivator, Lin Feiyu. I just successfully built the foundation some time ago. I came to the alliance to work for the demon slayer!"

Using this identity is also a decision made after careful consideration.

In the current situation, if a foundation-building casual cultivator suddenly appears, it is impossible for the alliance not to investigate the origin, so it must use an identity with a past.

In addition, this identity has many connections with the Qingyang Sect, and they are all positive. If you meet the disciples of the Qingyang Sect, you can also build some relationships.

Nowadays, it is no longer possible to fight alone. If you can find a backer, try to find one. Otherwise, it will be difficult to protect yourself in troubled times.

It is not possible to continue to survive in the cave.

There was no spiritual vein in the cave, and for more than a year, he had to control the Buddha's power almost all the time to expel the evil spirits in the air, resulting in no progress in his cultivation.

He is not a genius with extraordinary talents. He is over fifty years old. If he wants to go far on the path of immortality, he cannot waste a little time, otherwise there will be no hope of golden elixir.

After announcing his name, Chen Lin released his breath-holding technique and released the pressure of the foundation-building monk.

The city gate guard immediately saluted respectfully and said: "It turns out to be Senior Lin. Senior, please wait a moment. I will contact the captain right now."

Chen Lin nodded, then stood by the city gate with leisurely time, observing the monks coming and going.

I found that these monks were all walking in a hurry and had solemn expressions. They had a completely different mentality from the monks who came in and out of Danding City back then.

I still remember the scene when I went boating on the Jinshui River with Hu Xishan Yuzimo, talked loudly, gave directions to brothels, and excitedly entered the city.

Now not only are the people gone, but the city has lost its former atmosphere.

Suddenly, the guard captain was called over.

He is also a foundation-building monk, with a ruddy complexion and a tall stature.

After seeing Chen Lin, he looked at it first, then took out a disc-shaped magic weapon and said, "Fellow Taoist, please understand that in order to prevent spies from the Qishen Sect from sneaking into the city, anyone who does not have an identity token needs to pass through You can only enter the city after inspection."

"As it should be!"

Chen Lin readily accepted it and stretched out his arms as if passing the security check.

"Okay, no problem. Welcome Fellow Daoist Lin to join the alliance. Now please follow me to see Elder Jindan, the deacon!"

After the inspection, the guard captain saw that there was no abnormality, put away the magic weapon and said.

At this stage, there are very few loose cultivators outside. Even if they appear, most of them are discovered and brought back by patrols, and not many take the initiative to defect.

Therefore, all foundation-building monks who seek refuge must be received by the deacons and elders in the late Golden Core stage.

The purpose of this move is to prevent spies from the God of Prayer Sect from sneaking in. After all, once you join the Foundation Establishment Stage, you may hold an important position and there is no room for sloppiness.

"Okay, I'll trouble you, fellow Taoist."

Now that he has decided to join, Chen Lin will naturally abide by the rules without any resistance.

The guard captain was very satisfied with Chen Lin's attitude and looked much kinder.

The scenery inside the city gate remains the same, but there is no commercial atmosphere, and there is a murderous atmosphere.

The shop plaques on both sides of the street have been taken down and turned into offices of sects or families.

Although the Righteous Alliance manages the monks in a unified manner, it cannot interrupt the inheritance of any family or sect, as this will definitely cause strong resistance.

In this world, inheritance is engraved in the bones and is more important than life.

In order to appease the alliance, the alliance established rules that any force that joined, no matter how small, could establish a stronghold.

The stronghold is protected by the alliance and is equivalent to the temporary residence of each sect. They usually meet and communicate with each other, but they must accept the unified dispatch and command of the alliance.

Chen Lin had already inquired about this information, and also knew that there were nine deacons and elders in the alliance's decision-making level. They were all in the late Jindan stage. There were three core stations in each of them.

These were also the reasons why he chose Danding City.

In the past, he was unwilling to join the sect because he did not want to do things under the noses of high-level monks, fearing that his secrets would be discovered and avoid trouble.

But at that moment, now he wished that the place where he was was full of high-level monks, that would be safe.

He had killed a lot of people from the Qishen Cult in the past, and the Son of God had killed several of them. He would definitely not be able to join the Qishen Cult, and could only stand on the side of the Righteous Alliance.

As for the secrets on your body, just use them as little as possible.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, please!"

The two of them walked forward and came to a tall building. After the guard captain made the announcement, he introduced Chen Lin inside.

Then he spoke in a low voice: "The one on duty today is Master Li of Xuanyin Sect. Master Li is very majestic. Fellow Taoist, please do not contradict him."

Chen Lin immediately said: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for reminding me."

He knew this matter well. The three deacons and elders stationed in Danding City were Hai Mingyue, the Supreme Elder of the Sea King Sect, Cang Jiuhuang, the Supreme Elder of the Black Demon Sect, and Li Xuanming, the head of the Xuanyin Sect. I don’t know who is on duty today.

Speaking of which, the identity he currently uses still has some friction with the people of the Xuanyin Sect, but times have changed and it has long become a thing of the past.

At that time, he was only in the Qi training period in Heishuize, and he hid behind Su Chenyu the whole time. After so many years, it was impossible for the other party to still remember him.

As for the 'divine friendship' with the tall woman from the Xuanyin Sect, it was all a fantasy in his mind, and it didn't really happen. The other party couldn't possibly know what was going on in his mind.

Of course, you should try to avoid contact if you can, but you don’t need to keep it in mind all the time.

While Chen Lin recalled the past, he was taken to a living room-like room.

There was only a middle-aged man in the room. He had good facial features and was not angry or intimidating. A faint coercion emanated from him.

"Elder Li, this is Lin Feiyu, a casual cultivator. He claims to have just finished retreat and has come to join the alliance."

The guard captain seemed a little frightened by Elder Li and spoke with trepidation.

Seeing this, Chen Lin also saluted and said, "I have met Elder Li."

"Um."

Li Xuanming hummed, and then glanced at Chen Lin.

Chen Lin felt a breath that made his soul tremble fall on him, but he did not use his power to resist. If the Jindan monk wanted to harm him, it would be useless no matter what he did.

"That's right, it doesn't smell like the God of Prayer Cult. Where are you from and where have you been practicing?"

After the examination, Li Xuanming's attitude became better and his tone became kinder.

"Returning to the seniors, I am a member of the Yan Kingdom. I once practiced near the Qingyang Sect, and then came to this place where Korea was divided. I have been living in seclusion in the mountains. I was lucky enough to successfully build the foundation a few days ago, but when I came out, I found that the world had changed. As The righteous monks naturally take it as their duty to eliminate demons and protect the Tao, so they came to seek refuge."

Chen Lin had already made a draft, and what he said was sincere.

Li Xuanming nodded and asked again: "Is there anyone you know well in the Qingyang Sect?"

This is to investigate the basics. Chen Lin thought for a while and said: "Because this junior has a little dabble in alchemy, he has received guidance from senior Mu Xingchen, the alchemy master of Qingyang Sect."

"Oh? You are still an alchemist!"

Li Xuanming's eyes moved slightly.

Although a foundation-building monk is not dispensable to the alliance, it will not play much role in the war, but the role of an alchemist is very different.

However, the greater the effect, the more careful investigation is needed. Otherwise, if it is really a spy of the Prayer Sect and mixes something in the elixir, I don’t know how many alliance monks will suffer.

"Master Mu, please come here."

Li Xuanming gave instructions to the guard captain, and then fell silent.
