Chapter 1200 Returning to the village, encountering a crisis
As time passed, another half month passed.
Late at night, the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, which was a sign of an approaching storm.
A group of Jindan-stage monks in black clothes, with restrained momentum and masks on their heads, quietly headed straight for the Black Cloud Mountains under the cover of the dim night.
And the leaders were naturally Qin Tian and Jin Zhengyang!
Looking at the heavily guarded Qingfeng Village not far away, which had expanded several times in size, Qin Tian couldn't help but show a trace of emotion in his eyes.
I didn't expect that the small force that I supported casually many years ago would eventually come in handy!
As they got closer, the many secret guards deployed by Qingfeng Village finally discovered something unusual, so a sharp gong sounded instantly, completely breaking the originally silent night.
In an instant, a large formation barrier suddenly lit up above the mountain village, and many escape lights quickly rose into the sky, and the scene was quite spectacular.
But the atmosphere was extremely solemn, and everyone was as if facing a great enemy.
Obviously, the approach of the elite troops of the Battle Hall had been misunderstood as an invasion by foreign enemies.
After all, dozens of Jindan-stage masters, plus two powerful men whose cultivation was hard to see through, were a powerful force no matter where they were placed. I believe that no immortal sect dared to ignore them, let alone the mountain bandit force of Qingfeng Village?
So, from the depths of the mountain village, a group of Jindan-stage masters soon appeared, and an arrogant voice resounded through the sky:
"Who dares to invade my mountain village late at night? I am Guangyangzi, the number one fierce bandit in Fengzhou. The leader of the opposite side came out and said something!"
As he spoke, an old man in gorgeous clothes, with fluttering sleeves, who looked like an immortal, rose into the air. It was Guangyangzi without a doubt.
It was just that I hadn't seen Guangyangzi for many years, and his cultivation had actually risen to the false infant realm. It was obvious that he had taken a lot of pills on weekdays.
And because of his high position, this old man actually changed his initial timidity and developed an aura of a master.
Seeing this scene, Qin Tian rolled his eyes and immediately said in a cold voice:
"The most fierce bandit in Fengzhou? You should take a good look at who I am!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Guangyangzi was slightly stunned at first, but soon reacted and shouted anxiously:
"Misunderstanding, all misunderstandings! Open the mountain gate and welcome the village master back to the mountain!"
After that, Guangyangzi waved his hand and cast a command talisman to temporarily close the mountain village formation, and then flew to Qin Tian and saluted respectfully:
"I, Guangyangzi, greet the master! I just did not intend to offend you, please forgive me!"
As he spoke, Guangyangzi could not help but show fear on his face, and trembled as he scanned the monks in front of him.
With his eyesight from years of wandering around the border, he could naturally detect the extraordinaryness of the group of black-clothed men in front of him. Just from their sharp eyes and strong murderous aura, he could easily judge that they were experienced warriors.
Not to mention Jin Zhengyang, who seemed to be dressed in ordinary clothes but had an extraordinary demeanor, and it was impossible to see through his specific cultivation level.
What this situation meant could not be clearer.
For a moment, Guangyangzi was secretly shocked.
To be honest, the old man had been a bandit for half his life, and he had seen the world through wind and rain.
But he had never seen such a big battle!
And Jin Zhengyang and the elite warriors of the battle hall in the back looked at the mountain bandit forces in front of them, and they were somewhat uncomfortable in their hearts.
After all, all the cultivators were from famous families of the right way, and they were still somewhat resistant to mountain bandits and vagrants, but at this moment they also kept silent tactfully, and it was obvious that they had been informed of the mission of this trip in advance.
At the same time, the leaders of Qingfeng Village in the distance, including the Fairy of Serpent and Scorpion and the Bloodthirsty Duo, also came to the scene one after another to pay respect and salute.
Among them were some old people from the past, as well as newly joined Jindan masters, and even Xing Guangdao and Caixia were also among them.
After not seeing each other for many years, everyone's cultivation has improved.
For example, Qin Tian's registered disciple Caixia has now reached the peak of the middle stage of Jindan and may break through at any time.
However, looking at the elites of the Battle Hall in front of them and Qin Tian, whose specific realm could not be seen, everyone was shocked.
Some newly joined masters were secretly terrified, and they were even more curious about the village owner who was rumored to be extremely mysterious and never showed up.
Only Caixia's eyes were full of light, and she was obviously happy to meet again after a long time, but she hid her emotions very well and turned to greet respectfully:
"Disciple greets Master!"
When these words came out, Jin Zhengyang was slightly stunned, and the cultivators in the Battle Hall were even more shocked.
After all, with Qin Tian's current status and strength, Dao Sect has countless younger generations who want to become his disciples, including some talented rising stars, but they have all been rejected without exception.
However, who would have thought that the famous Demon-Dangling Master actually already had a disciple!
And, it was a female bandit?
For a moment, dozens of Jindan masters in the field couldn't help but widen their eyes and cast envious eyes at the same time. They were secretly curious in their hearts, obviously guessing what was so special about this female cultivator!
Such strange eyes really made the simple Caixia at a loss, and secretly felt extremely panicked.
Qin Tian nodded calmly and praised casually:
"Well~! Not bad, you haven't wasted these years! I'll test your progress in the alchemy later!"
In front of everyone, a simple word of praise made the girl's face blush, and she quickly bowed shyly.
In the following time, surrounded by everyone, Qin Tian and the other cultivators in the battle hall entered the mountain stronghold and went to the meeting hall to take their seats one by one.
And Qin Tian, who had been the hands-off shopkeeper for decades, took the seat of honor without hesitation.
During this period, a beautiful maid came forward and offered spiritual tea, spiritual fruits and other items.
After three rounds of tea and some simple chat, Qin Tian had a more detailed understanding of the development of Qingfeng Village in recent years.
There is not much difference from the beginning. In recent years, Qingfeng Village has adopted a "toll" policy and has kept a relatively low profile on weekdays. It has not aggressively expanded its territory, so it has been developing steadily.
However, during the conversation, Qin Tian was keenly aware that although the senior officials of Qingfeng Village looked as usual, there was a hint of sadness in their eyes.
Seeing this situation, Qin Tian couldn't help but asked out of curiosity:
"Is there something big happening in the village recently?"
After hearing this, many high-level officials of the village fell silent, and Caixia even lowered her head with a sad expression.
Only Guangyangzi was hesitant to say:
"Your Majesty, let me tell you the truth. Something big has happened in the cottage recently. It's probably because a large force in Fengzhou has been coveting the cottage for a long time. It even issued an ultimatum a few days ago...! "
"Oh~? Is this happening?"
As soon as these words came out, Qin Tian became interested instantly.
Jin Zhengyang and others' eyes were shining, and they were all gearing up, with excitement barely written on their faces.
