Chapter 373 Gathering
"Yun'er... It is the dream of every sect in Daxia to become famous in the Star Reaching Competition, and our Qingyuan Sect is certainly no exception. If we only send young disciples to participate, the results may not be ideal..." Tuzhenzi said.
"Master, in fact, our Qingyuan Sect's strength is already extremely strong in Daxia. There is no need to prove anything at all. It would be better to hide our strength. In addition, the disciples recently received information that during the Star Reaching Competition, the defenses of the various sects were lax. This leaves an opportunity for some bandits to take advantage of. Moreover, the demon clan teams from the world of beasts have united and are preparing to rob each participating team after the game in order to force Daxia Xianmen to hand over the eggs of the Sky-Swallowing Touhou. …”
"What?!"
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed drastically, and they broke out in cold sweat.
Unexpectedly, there is such a thing. If this matter is true, then this Star Reaching Competition is simply a disaster.
"Yun'er, is this news true?!" Tuzhenzi asked in shock.
"The source is reliable and should be accurate."
"This..." Everyone was stunned.
This news has completely changed the meaning of Qingyuanmen's participation in this star-catching competition. The best choice is of course not to participate, otherwise, it will be the same as throwing yourself into a trap.
The figure flashed, and Ming Kongzi appeared in the hall.
"Yun'er, in your opinion, how should we deal with this matter?" Ming Kongzi asked.
"Old Ancestor, the demon tribe is now gathered together. They are extremely powerful and it is difficult to take action. To deal with them, it is better to wait until the competition is held. They will definitely hide nearby in order to intercept and rob each team. At that time, our Qingyuan fleet will be dispatched , catch them all in one fell swoop!”
Wow!
When everyone heard this, excitement suddenly appeared on their faces. Remembering the last battle with the Xianghu Clan, the surging passion suddenly rekindled.
"Okay! But, where are the bandits?" Ming Kongzi praised, his eyes flickering a little, because he himself had planned to have a good time during this period.
"When the Qingyuan fleet is dispatched, our sect can only rely on our ancestors for defense. If there are really bandits here, our ancestors don't need to fight. They only need to rely on the mountain guard formation and crystal cannon to resist. If the bandits still don't retreat, , wait for the fleet to come back, and then attack together." Li Yun said.
"This...are you sure you don't need my help to capture the demon clan?" Ming Kongzi asked suspiciously.
"Ancestor, don't worry. Now the elders of the sect have become more proficient in controlling the Qingyuan ship, and their cooperation is extremely tacit. Their combat power is stronger than last time. There is no problem in dealing with them!"
"Okay! Then, as Yun'er said, this star-catching competition will focus on training young disciples. The others will try their best to capture the demon clan in order to promote the power of our Qingyuan Sect!" Ming Kongzi said loudly.
"Yes!" everyone shouted in unison.
…
Above the vast sea, a fleet of Fire Cloud Boats was speeding through the air.
In the main boat, Yang Mingdeng, his subordinate Ge Liang and others were very satisfied, admiring the scenery outside and talking loudly.
At this moment, they were on their way back from the Southern Expedition, and their purpose was naturally for the Star Reaching Competition held every twenty years.
In this southern expedition, Tiandu Mountain was a complete victory and made a lot of money. Moreover, it also established several overseas bases in the Daning cultivation area as a basis for future penetration into the Daning continent.
Yang Qian made suggestions in this process and made brilliant achievements in battle. He suddenly established his strong position in the sect and became the best candidate to be the future master of Tiandu Mountain.
Although Yang Lin is his eldest brother, he is not as good as Yang Qian in terms of combat power or intelligence, which puts him at a disadvantage in the competition for the future sect leader.
As for Yang Mingdeng's other sons and daughters, they are either far inferior to these two in strength, or they are far from mature and basically have no competitiveness.
The higher-ups within Tiandu Mountain were well aware of this, and secretly formed two forces to fight with each other.
However, this fight is just lurking under the water. After all, Yang Mingdeng still holds the position of sect leader, and it is far from the time to retire and impact his cultivation.
"Military advisor, who is Qian'er's main opponent in this star-catching competition?" Yang Mingdeng asked.
"Sect Master, according to the analysis from all parties, the main opponents are Yingji and Zhong Hua of Xia Yangmen, Gu Buyi and Tao Quan of Shenqi Pavilion, Qi Ren and Peng Fei of Tie Zhi Mountain, Zhou Nan and Shen Rujun of Yin Yue Valley, There are also Cai Sheng and Zi Qi from the Qingyuan Sect..." Ge Liang said.
"Does Xia Yangmen still dare to let Yingji fight?" Yang Mingdeng asked curiously.
"The possibility is very high. You must know that Xia Yangmen has dominated the Star Reaching Competition in previous years. If he loses his position as the hegemon this time, it will be a huge blow to his morale. Therefore, even if he uses Yingji to risk being robbed, They will also let him play." Ge Liang analyzed.
"Hmph, even if Yingji really goes to fight, can he really suppress Qian'er?" Yang Mingdeng said with some suspicion.
"This question is difficult to determine. After all, the bloodline turmoil is so hot. If it doesn't really have special effects, I'm afraid it's impossible."
"Well, Yingji is indeed a formidable enemy! However, the person you just mentioned seems to be missing one..."
"Oh? The sect leader said..."
"Li Yun!" Yang Mingdeng said loudly.
"Li Yun? This person's cultivation level is unknown. Even the Tianji Palace has no exact information, so it is difficult to determine whether he will participate in this competition."
"If he participates, he will definitely be a formidable enemy and cannot be underestimated!" Yang Mingdeng said flatly.
"What the sect master said makes sense. It's a pity that our undercover strategy didn't succeed, otherwise we wouldn't be as passive as we are now..." Ge Liang sighed.
"That's right. The Qingyuan Sect's strength is quite unpredictable now. If we encounter it then, we must not underestimate it!"
"Yes!" Ge Liang responded.
Yang Qian, Su Heng and others on the side also nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
"Report! We have arrived at our sect's boundary!" A disciple hurriedly came in to report.
Yang Mingdeng pondered for a moment and said, "Elder Xu and Elder Tian will return to the sect with supplies and a team of people. The others will follow me directly to Longyefang City."
"yes!"
Xu Yi and Tian Wu responded loudly and led a team of Yunzhou back to Tiandu Mountain.
Yang Mingdeng personally led the team to participate in the Star Reaching Competition.
…
At the entrance of Longyefang City, there are lanterns and colorful music, and it is extremely lively.
The Neutral Alliance attaches great importance to this star-catching competition. After all, it is the first competition held after the establishment of the alliance. Led by Yuanfangzhai and Tianlaiyuan, they have made careful plans for this.
They are well versed in the ways of doing business and aim to make money with harmony. Therefore, no matter how powerful the other party is, they always greet them with smiles and courtesy.
Both of these two families are wealthy owners. As long as things can be done well, money is not an issue.
Besides, these two families have great backgrounds. What kind of scenes have you not seen before? Therefore, holding a competition in a third-level cultivation area like Daxia is just a trivial matter to them.
Each family sent a team of monks to greet the guests at the door, with costumes, flowers, ceremonial cars, drums... it looked extremely grand.
The figure flashed, and two more figures appeared at the door. They were Feng Qingyuan, the leader of the Neutral Alliance, and Le Feng, the deputy leader.
The two looked at a group of flying boats in the distance, looked at each other, and both greeted them.
This fleet of flying boats are all flat wing boats with very wide wingspan and extremely fast speed. They are exactly the fleet of Xia Yangmen.
The fleet arrived in the nearby sky, with a flash of spiritual light, and was taken into the space stone one by one. Nearly a thousand monks appeared at the door, led by Xia Kurong and Yang Wenqing.
"Haha! Brother Xia is here, what a distinguished guest! Please come in quickly!" Feng Qingyuan laughed.
"Please come in quickly!" Le Feng agreed.
"I have admired the names of Brother Feng and Brother Le for a long time. I am so lucky to meet you today, so lucky!" Xia Kurong said with a smile when he saw Feng Qingyuan and Le Feng.
"Brother Xia's name is like thunder. It's great fortune for Daxia to be able to come in person this time!" Feng Qingyuan complimented.
"Haha, Brother Feng is serious. How can we not come to such a grand event?!"
A few people were chatting and laughing and were about to walk into Fangshi. Feng Qingyuan suddenly felt something. He looked up and found another group of flying boats approaching from a distance.
"Huoyunzhou? Tiandu Mountain?"
He was slightly startled, and quickly asked Le Feng to receive Xia Kurong, and then went out again.
When Xia Kurong and others saw the Tiandushan fleet, their eyes seemed to be about to burst out with fire.
Upon seeing this, Le Feng quickly called his subordinates and quickly brought the people from Xia Yang Clan into Fang City and arranged them to the designated restaurant.
If the two sects were to meet head-on, a conflict would probably break out. This was also a major difficulty in this competition, and Le Feng had naturally taken precautions against this.
Fortunately, Xia Kurong was also very cooperative. For him, he felt relieved as soon as he could settle down in Fangshi. You know, he had to worry a lot along the way and protected Yingji tightly, fearing that if someone came to rob him, Trouble.
When Feng Qingyuan saw Yang Mingdeng, he naturally exchanged some pleasantries. He was extremely curious about this person who dared to challenge the authority of Xia Yang Clan with the cultivation level of Jindan. At this moment, after careful observation, he found that Yang Mingdeng did have a certain aura. He has the demeanor of a sect master, and his cultivation is very close to the Nascent Soul level, and he is in a semi-infant state.
The so-called half-infant state is a transitional stage for monks to break through from the peak of the golden elixir to the Nascent Soul level. It is mainly about accumulating strength in order to break through in one fell swoop and turn the elixir into an infant.
At this stage, if the monk is well prepared, he can attack at any time.
Yang Wenqing is actually in this state, and their strength is almost evenly matched at this stage.
But Yang Wenqing spent much longer in the semi-infant stage than Yang Mingdeng, and his accumulation was also thicker.
With Feng Qingyuan's sharp eyesight, he can naturally see this. However, cultivation is one thing, and combat power is another. There is no doubt that Yang Mingdeng must have a treasure that can greatly increase his combat power before he dares to challenge Xia Kurong. righteous.
After arranging the people in Tiandu Mountain, Feng Qingyuan and Le Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Although Longyefang City was powerful, it was always good to avoid any trouble.
"Huh? Another flying boat is coming... Why is there only one?"
The two were startled and looked into the distance. They saw a cloud boat flying from a distance. When it got closer, it was put away. A group of monks appeared in front of it.
"Qingyuanmen? Why are there only more than twenty people here?" Feng Qingyuan asked curiously.
"Exactly. With the strength of Qingyuan Sect, shouldn't we only send this group of disciples?" Le Feng was also slightly shocked.
…(To be continued.)
