Strange mountains and rivers

Chen Huaisheng's words made Wang Yao feel anxious again.

The thoughts of the leader and the first leader are that after this year of moving north, they can finally settle down. It is best to stabilize the situation in the next three to five years without any problems, so that the disciples of the sect can practice with peace of mind and wait. The restoration and growth of the sect’s strength.

For example, Li Yu travels to the secret realm to attack the Zi Mansion, Xu Tianfeng, Cao Renben and Gou Yiwei attack to build the foundation. 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 Chonghua Sect Zifu Zhenren can increase to three, and the number of Foundation Establishment Spiritual Cultivators can increase to eight to ten.

This is still excluding Yang Delong and Sun Chengyi, two veteran cultivators who although they are nominally building foundations, have actually basically lost their ability to build foundations.

But all this needs to be established in a practice environment where the sect needs peace for three to five years, so that all disciples can practice with peace of mind.

But if there is a situation like last year where fighting continues, Xu Tianfeng, Cao Renben and others who are in seclusion will have to leave the seclusion 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 we are in an unsafe environment like Hebei, and the sect has recruited so many young disciples, who basically have no fighting ability, which makes it even more dangerous.

"Is the situation of Lingyun Sect and Jiulian Sect really that bad?" Wang Yao lowered his voice: "I know that the situation of Lingyun Sect is very bad, and it is all supported by the two Zifus, but what happened to Jiulian Sect? ?I know they are at odds with each other internally, but this has been the case for many years. How come it has worsened to the point where they want to abandon the Lingyun Sect?"

"I'm not very clear about the specific situation, but I'm pretty sure that if something happens to Lingyun Sect or us, I'm afraid the Jiulian Sect will at most just give a few shouts. It's no longer possible to send some people to protect us like they did a few years ago. It’s a good thing that the county supports the scene.”

Chen Huaisheng replied with certainty, which made Wang Yao upset, while Yao Liwei and Zhao Sitian on the side also felt secretly shocked.

Wang Yao originally wanted to communicate more with Chen Huaisheng, but the time and occasion were not suitable. More and more people came in on the Chonghua stage, and Wu Tianen also appeared.

Wang Yao could only put it down and stood up to greet Wu Tianen. The two of them were the most junior among the top leaders, so they naturally arrived earlier than the others.

Wang Yao left, and Yao Liwei followed suit.

As more and more people came to the scene, Yao Liwei was the deputy host of the ceremony, assisting You Shaoyou, so now he has to go on stage first and do some preparations.

Only Chen Huaisheng and Zhao Sitian were left.

Zhao Sitian also looked very unhappy. He urgently needed a stable period of time to attack the ninth level of Qi Refining. If the situation was not good and he was interrupted frequently, he would probably become the main force in his capacity, and he was afraid that he would not have enough time to come back. I practiced in seclusion.

"Could this year be another turbulent year? Huaisheng, you have never brought us any good news." Zhao Sitian took a deep breath and smiled bitterly: "Did you know that since the heavy snowfall began ten days ago, Monster beasts started to appear frequently again? The Bajiao Village was attacked by a group of wolves, and more than a dozen people died..."

Wolf?

Chen Huaisheng was surprised, "How come the Canglang appears in Yanzhou? Isn't it only found in Yunzhou and the northern part of Youzhou?"

Although most monsters have no regional characteristics, there are still some special monsters with obvious regional characteristics, and Cang Lang is one of them.

This kind of monster is much more dangerous than the wolf of the same wolf type, and its combat power is even more amazing. A group of wolves basically consists of five to eight wolves, among which there is a wolf king, which can reach the upper level of the second-level monster. The other gray wolves are basically close to the second-level monsters. The gray wolves who are more than a year old and have Yuan Dan are the second-order monsters.

Canglang lives in the mixed grassland and mountainous areas in the north of Yunzhou and Youzhou. It rarely goes deep into the inland areas of Hebei. At least in Jinzhou and Yanzhou in southern Hebei, Canglang has not been heard of.

"I don't know. It should usually be in the north of Youzhou. I don't know how I could cross the entire Youzhou and reach the boundary of Yanzhou, and also bypass our Wolong Ridge. The Du family of Bajiao Village has never encountered it. I suffered a big loss all of a sudden..." Zhao Sitian shook his head.

"Then shouldn't the Du family of Bajiao Village ask for help from the Ning family of Youzhou? Their little strength can't withstand a pack of wolves." Chen Huaisheng chuckled: "Our Bajiao Village is strictly guarded, and we are afraid that we will reach out to them. The territory has gone up..."

"Ning family?" Zhao Sitian breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his voice: "I heard that the head of the Ning family has just become an immortal. I don't know whether he became an immortal or died in an attack. Anyway, he is dead. The Ning family has too much to take care of themselves now, and I'm afraid they can't take care of Bajiao Village. ”

Yuhua is either too old and ends his life, or he fails to break through the realm in practice and goes crazy and dies. The latter is more common.

As for the attack, Chen Huaisheng thought that would be a better story. Who could attack a Zifu to death?

Who dares to stroke the beard 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 Zifu and succeeded were certainly not ordinary people.

Moreover, the Ning family's Zifu was attacked and killed, so the news itself contained too much inside information.

The Ning family is the first three-purple family in Youzhou. Although this name is a bit exaggerated, those who dare to have such a name are still somewhat powerful.

Who dares to be so rampant in Youyan Realm?

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 intelligence channels.

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 stupid, 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. It just wants 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 worth the effort 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 panicking, who else can they turn to for help? ?Except for us, it’s the Ding family of Baitapu. Although Ding Zongshou is from the Zifu, there are only a few people in total. They don’t even want to interfere with the affairs of Baitapu, and they will go to Bajiao Village to block it 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 something goes wrong at one point, he may be able to take care of it, but if something goes wrong at a few more points, 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 in 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 the Phoenix Wing 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 to 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 closely 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. It seems that it is the same in the secular 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.
