Seeking Immortality

In this world, at any time and in any corner, there will be people of this or that kind, planning for this or that purpose at all times. The purpose is either to protect their own income, or to seek the interests of others. They feel at ease with this and do not need reasons, excuses, or any scruples.

Just when Zhou Huahai suddenly paid a visit to Master Xu Heng, Qing Lingzi, and Zeng Lianxian, in another corner of the Zhan Terrace, the main hall master of the Bahuang Hall, Mantian, and the master of the * Sect, Jiuzizhenren, were also sitting opposite each other. They saw a chessboard, a teapot, and two teacups placed between them in the thatched hut.

In this way, the two of them chatted, drank tea, and played chess, looking very leisurely.

If you just look at the expressions on their faces at this moment, others would never be able to imagine that these two leaders, who look like otherworldly masters, are currently planning a deal to share the stolen goods.

"In this way, we have made an agreement. When the Jiuhua Sect is deprived of the Holy Land qualification, the spiritual veins of Mount Jiuhua and its Holy Land qualification will belong to our *sect, while the low-level disciples of the Jiuhua Sect and their thousands of years of savings will be It all belongs to you, Bahuang Palace.”

The nine real people twist a white stone in their hands and gently fall on the chessboard. When the chess pieces intersect, they make a clear sound.

At this time, the black and white sides on the chessboard were in a stalemate, and it was difficult to separate them. The two long dragons, black and white, were entangled on the small chessboard.

But it was obvious that Master Jiu Ze's mind was not on the chessboard at this time. Although he was playing chess in his hands, his eyes were fixed on Mantian in front of him and he said solemnly.

Compared with Jiu Ze Zhenren, Mantiandi's image is rough. But his expression was more leisurely and contented, and his eyes staring at the chessboard did not waver at all. After hearing the words of Master Jiu Ze, he smiled slightly and said softly: "Of course, after Jiuhua Mountain destroys the sect, I will definitely use the whole sect's strength to support the * sect as a new holy land. The * sect has been established for thousands of years. Compared with The Valley of Penance is even older and has been prospering for thousands of years. It has become even more powerful in the hands of Taoist friends, and it is also expected that it will receive the title of Holy Land."

Hearing Mantian's soft words, Taoist Jiu Ze seemed to be still worried, still staring closely into Mantian's eyes. Until he was sure that what Man Tian just said was true. Cai Anxin smiled and said: "If fellow Taoist Mantian does not compete with our *sect, the qualification for this holy land will naturally belong to our *sect. Lin Lei"

Having said this, Master Jiu Ze asked worriedly: "After obtaining the qualification of Holy Land, not only can you be respected by all the monks in the world, but you can also get support from the other five Holy Lands. By then, it can be said that unless you are from your own sect, There is an internal problem, otherwise once you obtain the title of Holy Land, you can ensure that your sect will remain prosperous for ten thousand years. Are you not at all interested in this, fellow Daoist Mantian?"

Mantian smiled slightly. After thinking for a long time, he finally dropped the black piece in his hand, and the place where it landed happened to cut off a long dragon that was gradually forming on the Jiuze real chessboard. Then he looked up at Jiuze Taoist and said lightly: "I am naturally tempted by these. But you also know that in order to become a new Holy Land, it must be recognized by the other five Holy Lands, and those old guys from Xu Heng are not very confident about me, Bahuang Palace, under such circumstances. Although it is not impossible to become a holy land, it is not very promising. Rather than competing for the unlikely holy land qualification, it is more practical to get some physical objects and disciples. You know, my fellow Taoist, Bahuang. The Dianli sect has not been around for a long time and is located in a remote area. Therefore, not only are we short of resources, we also have very few disciples. By cooperating like this, we can each get what we need."

Hearing what Mantian said, Taoist Jiuze finally felt relieved and said with a smile: "Then, we have settled on this."

"Natural." Compared with the unusual joy of Taoist Jiuzhe, Mantian's expression remained unchanged at this time, which was completely opposite to his rough image.

For Jiuze Zhenren, once the Jiuhua Sect is expelled from the Immortal Cultivation World due to the Huandao Incident, the extra qualification for the Holy Land will definitely arise between the strongest * Sect and the Bahuang Palace. As for the powerful and mysterious Bahuang Palace, Jiu Zezhenren has always been quite scrupulous, and he is not very confident about whether his sect's strength can surpass the Bahuang Palace.

But now that Mantian personally admitted that the Bahuang Palace would not compete with his sect for the qualification of the Holy Land, Master Jiu Ze was naturally overjoyed.

Seeing the unconcealed joy in the eyes of Master Jiuze, a trace of contempt flashed through Mantian's eyes quickly, and he frowned slightly, reminding him softly: "Fellow Daoist Jiuze, Jiuhuamen has not been destroyed yet." If the Xuanwu Order is deprived of the status of a holy land, it will only be temporarily kept by Qing Lingzi. Once Zhang Hualing can find evidence to prove that everything on Huandao is not the work of Jiuhuamen, then Jiuhuamen will still be one of the holy places and its status will remain. It’s still unshakable, and no matter how detailed your plan is, it won’t come true.”

Master Jiu Ze disagreed, and sneered: "Fellow Mantian, do you really think that Jiuhua Sect can turn around this time? He couldn't find evidence to prove his innocence on Huandao, so can he just return to Jiuhua Mountain? Have you found the evidence? This time the disaster is coming in Jiuhua Mountain, and there is no way to escape."

Mantian could not deny what Jiuze Zhenren said, and just asked: "Jiuze Taoist friend, do you really think that the incident on Huandao was done by Jiuhua Mountain?"

After hearing Mantian's question, Taoist Jiuze pondered for a moment and said slowly: "You and I have had many contacts with Zhang Hualing over the past few hundred years. It can be said that he is very careful and cautious. With his personality, it is hard to imagine that he would do such a thing. So it is unlikely that Jiuhuamen did this. At least Zhang Hualing is not aware of this matter."

"So, you also think that Jiuhuamen was wronged this time?" After hearing what Taoist Jiuze said, Mantian said softly: "Obviously, someone set up a trap for Jiuhuamen this time. It is a conspiracy against Jiuhua Mountain. And any conspiracy must have its flaws, and with Zhang Hualing's shrewdness, it is not impossible to find these flaws. "

Hearing what Mantian said, Jiu Ze Zhenren also showed a trace of worry, and after a long time he asked: "Mantian Daoist, what do you mean..."

Mantian smiled slightly and said: "Since others can set up a trap for Jiuhua Mountain, why can't we?"

Jiu Ze Daoist's eyes lit up, and just when he was about to say something, he heard a series of crisp and melodious bell sounds on Zhantai. It was the "Gathering Immortal Bell" on Zhantai used to summon immortals.

Hearing the "Gathering Immortal Bell" ringing nine times in succession, Taoist Jiuze said in confusion: "When the Gathering Immortal Bell rings, something big must happen. Could it be that those old guys from Xuheng have done something again?"

Mantian's eyes flashed with a trace of doubt after hearing the bell, and he replied in a deep voice: "Go and see and you will know."

Seeing that Taoist Jiuze nodded slightly in agreement, Mantian stood up first, walked out of the thatched cottage, and flew quickly towards the jade platform on the south side of Zhantai with Taoist Jiuze.

When the two came to the jade platform on Zhantai, they found that most of the immortals on Zhantai had gathered under the jade platform, and the heads and elders of various sects had all come and were sitting in their seats at this time, looking as puzzled as the two of them.

At the front of the jade platform, six people stood quietly. Five of them were the abbot of Ciyun Temple, Master Xu Heng, the head of Qingxu Sect, Qing Lingzi, the leader of Wuxing Sect, Zeng Lianxian, the master of * Palace, Li Tianying, and the representative of Kuxiu Valley, Xuan Jianzun.

In addition, there was another person, Zhou Huahai, the supreme guardian of Jiuhua Sect who was left on Huandao Island as a hostage by Zhang Hualing.

At this time, the six people had solemn faces, which seemed to indicate that something big had really happened in the world of immortal cultivation.

When all the immortals on the stage had gathered, Xu Heng and the others looked at each other and nodded silently. Then Zeng Lianxian took a step forward, bowed slightly to the immortals on the field, and said loudly: "I think everyone already knows what happened on Huandao. Because there were many doubts at the time, in order to prevent the innocent from being wrongly accused, I and several other heads of the holy lands decided to let Zhang Hualing and others return to Jiuhua Mountain to collect evidence to prove that this incident was not done by Jiuhuamen."

Speaking of this, Zeng Lianxian's face became more serious. After a slight pause, he continued: "But we were all deceived by Zhang Hualing. Jiuhuamen's Supreme Protector Zhou Huahai considered for a long time and finally told us the truth of the whole thing just now. What happened on Huandao was all done by Zhang Hualing and a few elders of Jiuhuamen. They are now back to Jiuhua Mountain to destroy evidence and create false evidence."

As soon as he said this, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Zhenren Jiuze and Mantian couldn't help but look at each other protectively. Zhenren Jiuze's eyes were full of joy, while a hint of doubt flashed in Mantian's eyes.
