Chapter 335: A Show of Strength
Tao Yougong said calmly: "I know, but we have waited for half a year, so you don't mind waiting for two more days, right? One more person means more strength, and with a few more people, it will be more certain to save your father, right? Besides, the envoys of the Immortal Sect came from afar, and they are tired all the way, so they need to rest for a few days."
Tao Yougong's words were well-reasoned, and Tao Zhengyou couldn't refute them. It has been almost half a year since his father was trapped. If something happened, it would have happened a long time ago, and it wouldn't be just one or two days. Moreover, the underground palace is very dangerous. Even if people from Qingfeng Palace are found, there is no 100% certainty. The success rate will be higher with more helpers.
Watching the verbal confrontation between the two, Chen Biwang and others were thoughtful. It seems that things are not that simple. Tao Zhengyou wants to save his father, but Tao Yougong deliberately delays. Is there any conspiracy in this? This matter is getting more and more interesting.
However, these are all internal affairs of the Tao family. As outsiders, they can't ask about it. Since there are other helpers, it doesn't matter if they wait a few more days. The sect still has a long time, so there is no rush.
The guest follows the host's wishes, and then Chen Biwang and others stayed in the backyard of the Tao family. The three of them rested while waiting for the arrival of other helpers found by Tao Yougong.
This small valley of the Tao family is a rare place of spiritual energy nearby, no wonder the Tao family built the manor here. Of course, this is compared with a desolate place like Yongzhou. If it is compared with the location of the immortal gate like Qingfeng Palace, it is simply the difference between fluorescence and bright moon, and even compared with Yuling City and Tujiao City, it is far worse.
There is not much effect in practicing in such a place, especially for them, the Qi-refining cultivators, so Qingyang was too lazy to waste time, just meditating to relax and drive away the fatigue accumulated in the body from more than two months of non-stop travel.
Two days passed quickly. Early in the morning of this day, Tao Zhengyou came in person to invite them, saying that the other people found by Tao Yougong had arrived, and asked them to meet with everyone and discuss the time of departure. So the three followed Tao Zhengyou and went to the reception hall of the Tao family.
Before I even reached the door of the reception hall, I heard a rough voice inside: "What immortal gate envoys? They are just a group of lucky guys who have lived under the wings of the immortal gate for a long time. They have never experienced fighting and have never seen blood. How much ability can they have?"
Another shrill voice advised: "Fellow Daoist Guo, don't say that. The disciples of the immortal gate come from famous sects, with abundant resources and strong overall strength. Not to mention anything else, just the top-grade magic weapons they have are not comparable to us casual cultivators?"
The shrill voice was trying to dissuade, but the words it said made the rough voice even more angry, and it said in a muffled voice: "It's just relying on the advantage of magic weapons. If you put these aside, those immortal gate disciples of the same level, Guo can beat two by himself."
At this time, a woman's voice came, saying: "Fellow Daoist Guo, be careful of your mouth, the immortal gate disciples are not me We can't afford to offend them, so it's better not to say some things carelessly. "
After hearing what the woman said, the man surnamed Guo seemed to be more restrained, but he was still a little unconvinced in his heart, and whispered: "It's not that I, Guo, said nonsense, it's really that these disciples of the immortal sect are too arrogant. We have been waiting for a long time, but they are still not here. It's clear that they don't take us casual cultivators seriously. "
Tao Yougong was also in the reception hall, and at this time he hurriedly comforted him: "Fellow Daoist Guo, you are too worried. It's not that the disciples of the immortal sect are arrogant, but that the courtyard of my Tao family is too big, and the Taoist friends of Qingfeng Hall live too far away. My nephew Zhengyou has already gone to invite them, so please wait patiently for a while. "
Tao Yougong's explanation seemed to have some effect, and there was no sound in the reception hall, but the words just now were heard by everyone. Chen Biwang suddenly became cold and frowned, and even Lu Dingshan and Tao Zhengyou were indignant.
The four people didn't say anything, and walked directly into the reception hall. With a glance, they saw four people sitting in the spacious reception hall. The host was naturally Tao Yougong, and on the opposite guest seat, the front was a gloomy man with a feminine aura, and the cultivation level of the fourth level of Qi Refining. Next to him was a strong man with a bear-like body, and the cultivation level of the third level of Qi Refining. At the back was a woman, whose cultivation level was similar to that of the strong man, and also the third level of Qi Refining.
Without the introduction of the Tao family, everyone could guess that the one with a rough and arrogant voice just now must be the strong man in the middle. Chen Biwang walked straight up to him, stretched out his hand and said coldly: "I am Chen Biwang, a disciple of the outer courtyard of Qingfeng Hall. May I know your name?"
Anyone can see that Chen Biwang seems to have bad intentions, but the strong man surnamed Guo does not seem to be afraid. He stood up and looked down at Chen Biwang, stretched out his hand and shook it with Chen Biwang, saying: "I am Guo Kaifeng, a casual cultivator in Yongzhou. What do you have to say, fellow Daoist Chen?"
Chen Biwang did not speak, but shook the hand of the strong man surnamed Guo calmly. Suddenly, he released his momentum and circulated the true qi in his body at the same time, rushing towards the cultivator surnamed Guo. They are all Qi-refining cultivators, and the momentum between them is not very different. If they are prepared in advance, the people present can still deal with it. The bad thing is that Chen Biwang deliberately concealed his behavior when he entered the door, and now there is a sudden attack from both inside and outside.
The cultivator surnamed Guo was the first to bear the brunt, groaned, and retreated four or five steps in succession, even knocking over the chair he was sitting on just now. Obviously, he suffered a big loss. After finally stabilizing himself, the sturdy man surnamed Guo asked in surprise, "You... you are at the fifth level of Qi Refining?"
Chen Biwang wanted to give the other party a warning. Now that his goal was achieved, he threw his hands behind his back, pretending to be a master, and said coldly: "Just now I heard some people look down on us disciples of the immortal sect, so I wanted to test what ability he has to dare to say such big words. I didn't expect that he would be so vulnerable."
"What kind of hero is it for a fifth-level Qi Refining to bully a third-level Qi Refining?" The cultivator surnamed Guo said angrily. Although he suffered a loss at the hands of Chen Biwang, he seemed very unconvinced in his heart.
The other two people were of the same blood with the cultivator surnamed Guo. Seeing that their own people suffered a loss, they also stood up and stood with the cultivator surnamed Guo. The gloomy man's face became more and more gloomy, and he said angrily: "You are giving us a warning as soon as you come. What does this Taoist friend mean?"
Chen Biwang raised his head, as if he was too lazy to say so much, and he was completely a lonely master. Lu Dingshan said behind him: "Talking about people's shortcomings behind their backs, giving you a lesson is light, if you meet other strong-willed people, you may not even have your life at this time."
