Chapter 650 Worshiping the Elders
Of course, there are more than thirteen large and small immortal cultivating sects in the northwest of Xu State, so whoever holds the martial arts token can go to Ningyang Mountain to discuss martial arts!
As soon as this news was released, there was a bloody storm here. Zhuang Zhengqi used various conspiracies and tricks to finally get a token.
But he didn't dare to take it in a big way, because once he left the sect, he would be targeted by interested people, and he would become the target of public criticism.
After thinking about it, he finally decided to send Sheng Chi, who was not well-known but extremely loyal, to get the token.
Shengchi lived up to his high expectations and successfully obtained the token, but was targeted by Jinlu, the Lieshan Sect who was once a fellow sect. As for what happened next, it was what Liang Yan saw.
Zhuang Zhengqi and Liang Yan, one was interested in recruiting and the other was planning to join, they hit it off almost immediately.
Liang Yan pretended to ponder for a while and asked: "We, brother and sister, have only relied on our own enlightenment and cultivation for many years. We are like duckweeds. I just don't know what kind of treatment we will enjoy after joining the noble sect?"
Zhuang Zhengqi laughed and said: "Brother Zhang, don't worry. After you join our sect, you will be worshiped by the Huxin Sect and enjoy the treatment of the sect's elders. If you serve for thirty years or make special contributions to the sect, you can be promoted immediately." As a protector elder, he can participate in sect affairs, and his status is on an equal footing with Shengchi and others, second only to me, the sect leader."
Liang Yan was naturally not interested in the position of "Dharma Protector Elder". In fact, Zhuang Zhengqi's own cultivation level was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, which was similar to Yun Xuzi, Smiling Monk and others he had met in Zhao Kingdom before.
As for the entire Huxin Sect, even if it has some foundation, it is probably still a small sect at the lowest level now, not much different from Zhao Wuming's Shadow Tower.
What Liang Yan wants is the identity of the Huxin Sect. It doesn't make much difference to be an outsider, let alone a worshipper.
He pretended to hesitate for a while, then turned to Jia Ruoyan and asked, "What do you think?"
Jia Ruoyan obediently gave her a blessing and whispered: "It's all up to my brother's arrangement!"
"Well, since Sect Master Zhuang has invited us so kindly, it would be a bit unkind for us brothers and sisters to refuse. Anyway, from now on, we must ask Sect Master for more advice!"
He removed the word "zhuang" and directly addressed himself as the sect master. He obviously considered himself a member of the Huxin Sect.
Zhuang Zhengqi was really overjoyed after hearing this. Thinking that when his sect was in turmoil, there were actually two strong generals joining him. This was a reassurance.
"Sect Master, when we were on the road just now, Elder Sheng hesitated to speak. It seems that the sect is facing some difficulties?" Liang Yan suddenly asked.
Zhuang Zhengqi's face darkened, then he nodded and said: "You are now a member of our sect, and I won't hide some things from you. Now our sect is in danger of being attacked by Lieshan Sect."
"Lie Shan Sect?" Liang Yan nodded and said, "No wonder they intercepted Elder Sheng and his party in the middle of the road without any scruples."
Zhuang Zhengqi sighed softly and said: "It's an injustice! In fact, as early as 800 years ago, our Huxin Sect and Lieshan Sect were the same sect. The founder was good at water and earth Taoism, and his cultivation was even better. He has reached the realm of 'Fake Alchemy Realm' and founded the 'Shanhai Sect', which can be regarded as the Xiaochu of medium-sized sects in the entire Xu Kingdom!"
"It's a pity that the founder failed to break through and passed away in the sect. And his true legacy was split into two, forming two factions of water and earth in the sect, fighting each other openly and secretly. Over time, the mountain and sea sect became divided. They are divided into the Huxin Sect and Lieshan Sect, and everyone wants to annex each other and get the other half of the inheritance."
After listening to his words, Liang Yan also gained some understanding of the origins of the two sects, and then said thoughtfully: "Since the two sects cannot tolerate each other, then strength has to speak for itself. I wonder what masters the Lieshan Sect has? "
Zhuang Zhengqi shook his head and said: "The strength of the elders in the foundation-building stage of Lieshan Sect is not much different from that of our sect, but the head of Lieshan Sect is very difficult. Not long ago, I heard that this person has successfully broken through to the Juyuan Realm. , Now we are stabilizing our cultivation within the sect, I’m afraid that it won’t be long before they come out to attack our Lake Heart Sect.”
"Is this happening? How can we resist it?" Liang Yan asked with a frown.
Zhuang Zhengqi smiled slightly and said: "That's why I am so concerned about this martial arts token. As long as I can successfully get an invitation, during the Huangshi Grand Conference, private wars against participating sects are not allowed, otherwise they will be punished by the Qianyuan Saint. Palace and Yellowstone Mountain were severely punished.”
Liang Yan nodded after hearing this. This move was indeed reasonable. Just think about the sects that received the invitation. If they sent their middle and high-level people to attend the grand event, wouldn't that give the enemy sects an opportunity to make a sneak attack?
Therefore, Qianyuan Holy Palace and Huangshi Mountain jointly set this rule, and with the reputation of these two forces, I am afraid that no sect in the entire Xu Kingdom would dare to disobey it.
At this time, Zhuang Zhengqi continued: "I am now only half a step away from the Juyuan Realm. If Huangshi Mountain and his party are lucky enough to understand the secret method in the Huangshi Heavenly Book and successfully break through to the Juyuan Realm, then our Huxin Sect There’s no need to be afraid of their Lieshan Sect anymore!”
"I see."
Liang Yan nodded somewhat suddenly, but then added: "Although the sect master has thought carefully, all this is based on getting an invitation. And according to the information I got along the way, this Ningyang Mountain In terms of martial arts, the sect master is not allowed to fight in person. We brothers and sisters have just joined your sect and have not made any achievements, so why not just get an invitation for the sect master."
"Oh? Are you going to represent our sect in the battle?" Zhuang Zhengqi raised his eyebrows, pondered for a while, and then said calmly: "Each sect holding a martial arts token can send up to three participants, but this The competition is related to the survival of the sect. Although you brothers and sisters are not weak in magical powers, the most I can give you is one spot!"
Liang Yan knew that he and Jia Ruoyan had just joined the sect, and Zhuang Zhengqi did not particularly trust them and did not dare to put all his treasure on them, so he only gave up one place.
He smiled and said: "Since Sect Leader Zhuang said so, let my sister go to fight!"
"this"
Zhuang Zhengqi looked at the two of them, as if he was hesitant to speak.
He originally wanted to say that this matter was of great importance and that Liang Yan must play in person, but then he thought about it. This martial arts token was sent back by someone else. It was only a quota, so there was no need to point fingers.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Zhengqi smiled slightly, nodded and said: "According to Elder Zhang's wishes, your sister will fight. The 'Ningyang Mountain Martial Arts' will be held in three days. You brothers and sisters will go to meditate for a day of recovery today. We will do it early tomorrow morning." Let’s set off for Ningyang Mountain!”
