Chapter 338: A Chicken Standing Out Among a Group of Cranes, Task Assignment
Seeing Zheng Fa and the others flying into Tongming Mountain with Master Tongming, Master Chen moved his fingers and stuffed a storage bag into the sleeves of the disciples.
At this time, not to mention Master and Disciple Fang Yuan, even the disciple who was leading the disciples had a blank look on their faces - this gift was coming in an unclear way!
"Please help me find out which counties the Jiushan Sect will be assigned to at that time, so that I can follow..."
Upon hearing this, the disciples from Tongming Mountain looked at Master Chen and immediately felt respectful.
Even Fang Yuan understood Master Chen’s plan——
Even Master Tong Ming values Zheng Fa so much. If you follow the Jiu Shan Sect, you will be safe!
…
Zheng Fa didn't know this. He followed Master Tongming to the guest room, settled the disciples of the Nine Mountains Sect, and then took Senior Sister Zhang and was led by Master Tongming towards the sect hall of Tongming Mountain.
"You Jiu Shan Sect arrived late. Now, in addition to the five transformed gods from the five Xuanwei sects, there are also three other transformed gods, plus a dozen Nascent Soul monks, who are all discussing matters in the hall."
"Three transformed gods?"
Zheng Fa was shocked when he heard this.
The Hundred Immortals Alliance only had Master Tongming as a deity, and they dared to occupy such a large area of land, and even shouted the slogan of the Sixth Sect of Xuanwei.
Now there are three more gods?
Where did this grow?
"Two of them are like me."
Master Tongming smiled and said pointedly.
"Same as Master you..."
Zheng Fa murmured in a low voice, and understood the meaning in his heart - it's a special sect of the Supreme Way.
In this way, in this battle alone, Taishangdao took out four gods.
If you don’t force this, you don’t know the potential of Xuanwei’s five sects…
"I don't know the origins of the rest." Master Tongming continued, "As for the dozen or so great monks, they are also heads or elders of various nearby sects."
Zheng Fa nodded secretly.
The so-called great monks in the Xuanwei world refer to the monks in the late Nascent Soul stage. These are of course very strong, but they are not on the same level as the Transformation God:
It can be seen from the Jiushan Sect that the Jiushan Sect does not lack the Nascent Soul inheritance, but it has not even touched the hair of the gods before.
As he walked, Zheng Fa found that he had gained new insights:
Before he entered the main hall, he smelled waves of fragrance that soaked his soul and made him jump for joy. Looking in the direction of the fragrance, Zheng Fa saw dozens of beautiful women. The female nun, wearing a light white lady's dress, started from the door of the main hall, holding a lantern, standing motionless against the wall of the main hall, as if to illuminate the hall.
The fragrance comes from this lantern.
"Ming Dao Zhu."
Senior Sister Zhang on the side suddenly said softly, with a bit of astonishment in her usually cold eyes.
Zheng Fa understood her surprise. The Ming Dao Candle was very precious in the Xuanwei world - it was rumored that practicing with the Ming Dao Candle could speed up the practice. More importantly, it made the spiritual power active and agile, which was beneficial to the monks' breakthrough.
This thing has some effect on Nascent Soul.
The value is really high.
Zheng Fa began to feel distressed inexplicably - although he was sitting in a Nine Mountains Realm, he had never been so corrupt...
After all, he has many more monks to train than ordinary sects.
Zheng Fa looked at the female cultivators and was even more surprised - many of them had participated in the Hundred Immortals Dharma Assembly, and they were basically even Golden Elixir disciples. In other words, they were members of the Hundred Immortals Alliance. A genius, the best among the next generation of disciples, now working as a maid here?
But looking at the expressions of these female disciples, they all looked proud.
Zheng Fa understood it as soon as he thought about it - at least the people sitting here were great monks, so it was normal for Jin Dan not to have a seat in the hall.
More importantly, even though they were standing in front of a lampstand, they could still take two sips of the Mingdao candle, and maybe even more if they were close to each other.
To be honest, it’s not a loss.
As soon as I walked into the temple, it became even more obvious that the monks had a clear hierarchy.
Master Chengkong and other eight transformed gods sat at the top, and the other dozen or so monks sat close to the door.
There is a short table in front of everyone. On the short table there are some food such as spiritual wine, spiritual fruit, spiritual beast meat, etc. It can be seen that it is also good spiritual material and spiritual meat, and it definitely does not insult the status of these Nascent Soul Transformation Gods. .
Zheng Fa understood immediately:
In this hall, people under the Nascent Soul have to stand, either as decorations or as maids, and cannot eat.
The Nascent Soul monk could sit down and eat something, but he couldn't sit up, let alone talk.
Only the transformed gods are the protagonists. No Nascent Soul in the temple dares to speak. There are only the voices of these transformed gods talking, laughing, or arguing.
However, these Nascent Soul monks still have to listen. Not only do they listen, but they also have to give corresponding reactions to the words of each god-forming boss...
I feel so tired after eating this meal.
Zheng Fa paused and suddenly began to think about one thing - should he also get a lantern?
The lantern was a joke, the problem was that he didn't know where he should sit.
"Zheng Fa?"
However, Master Chengkong who was sitting at the main seat spoke. He glanced at Zheng Fa, as if he could see his confusion, and pointed to an empty seat beside him and said, "I'll be waiting for you."
There was a moment of silence in the hall. The position Master Chengkong pointed at was leaning against Xie Qingxue of the Tianhe Sect.
Everyone watched as Zheng Fa, who was in the early stage of the golden elixir, walked past the Nascent Soul monks, saluted the three newly arrived gods, and then took Senior Sister Zhang and sat down in the small circle of Xuanwei Five Sects. inside.
Zheng Fa felt everyone's eyes piercing him from all directions, as if he were looking at a husky calmly walking into a pack of wolves.
He didn't really care - although he was only half a god, he was a doubles player.
Senior Sister Zhang was also half a god!
The two of them together, saying that they were a god, was just being modest.
If you don't agree, you can interview the Blood River Patriarch!
But there was a look that he felt was a bit strange, as if he had deep resentment.
Zheng Fa turned his head and saw Yan Wushuang standing upright behind Xie Qingxue, staring at him, with a somewhat aggrieved look on his face.
... This is a true friend, and he can't be wronged.
Zheng Fa squeezed towards Senior Sister Zhang, revealing an empty seat, and signaled to Yan Wushuang that he could sit there.
Yan Wushuang couldn't help but smile, and as soon as he raised his foot, he felt a chill on his back.
Xie Qingxue glanced at him and said coldly: "My position is big, why don't you squeeze in with me?"
Yan Wushuang looked at Zheng Fa and his elder sister, who were standing arm to arm and knee to knee, and then looked at the cold sword aura of his senior sister...
He swallowed his saliva and held it for a long time before saying: "I'm fine standing."
...
Master Chengkong looked at Zheng Fa talking and laughing, and even seemed to be joking, and showed a hint of satisfaction. The other several gods looked more respectful.
Even Master Tongming smiled and nodded at Zheng Fa.
They would not appreciate any crazy behavior. The problem is that the situation is special now. It is time for everyone to contribute and those who are capable should take the responsibility.
If Zheng Fa behaves too timidly and humbly, he will seem unworthy of the task.
Now that he is a golden elixir, sitting among the gods, he can have such a relaxed attitude, which makes people feel confident, which makes people feel relieved.
Perhaps he was really only waiting for Zheng Fa and the other two. After he sat down, Master Tongming stood up from his seat and coughed lightly.
Everyone in the hall put down their wine glasses and looked up at him.
"Relying on the five envoys, we gather together to discuss the strategy of eradicating the demon sect. This is indeed a major event to maintain the righteousness of heaven and earth!"
Master Tongming set the tone as soon as he opened his mouth.
Everyone's faces were strange and serious, and they all listened to him.
"In the past period of time, our Hundred Immortals Alliance was invaded and bullied by the Great Freedom Demon Sect. Several Yuanying died, and I don't know how many of the disciples' families lost their lives. The resources of the alliance were plundered."
"My Hundred Immortals Alliance, it's miserable!"
As Master Tongming spoke, his eyes were a little red.
Everyone in the hall was speechless.
"But it's different now that the five envoys are here! When envoy Chengkong came, he destroyed the two blood evil flags of the Great Freedom Demon Sect, which can be said to have saved the people of Xuanwei from danger!"
"Today, the envoys from Tianhe Sect, Haori Mountain, Leiyin Temple, and Yaochi came, and our Baixian League has become more confident and no longer afraid of the Great Freedom Demon Sect!"
"If there were no five envoys, this area would have become a demon cave sooner or later."
"Here, please allow me to toast the five envoys first!"
After saying that, he picked up the wine cup on the table and drank it all.
The five people of Master Chengkong looked at each other and drank a glass of spiritual wine.
After Master Tongming said this, he said to the three gods and a dozen great monks who came:
"I am even more grateful that you can come to help. You all understand that the lips and teeth are cold, and you understand that you should help each other... I will remember this righteousness in my heart."
When he said this, these people naturally said they didn't dare, but their faces were all gentle.
Zheng Fa's eyes were a little strange - he had never found that Master Tongming had such eloquence:
When he just came in, Zheng Fa felt that the atmosphere in this hall was not very good.
Let alone the three gods, the expressions of these great monks who came here were not willing.
If you think about it, you will understand that Jiushan Sect was still hesitant after receiving the summons, and other sects were naturally the same. They came here probably because they were afraid of the Five Sects of Xuanwei.
He guessed at the time that Master Tongming used Mingdao candles and loved wine and meat, and he probably also wanted to appease everyone.
But Master Tongming's words really dispelled this resentment-
This person said three things in both open and dark ways:
Without Master Chengkong, the Great Free Demon Ancestor would have come to kill him long ago.
This time, these five envoys are the main force in the fight against the Great Free Demon Sect, so don't force them.
Without the Hundred Immortals Alliance, the Great Free Demon Sect will not let you go.
He said these three sentences very appropriately, praising the Five Sects of Xuanwei and the great monks who came to help.
His reasoning was strong but his attitude was soft. Everyone in the hall understood it without saying a word.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and then they all responded. They actually felt that they were united.
Zheng Fa looked at Master Chengkong, wondering: What kind of Tai Shang Dao is this Master Tongming? What did he learn from Tai Shang Dao? Political courses?
After Master Tongming finished speaking, he looked at Master Chengkong. Obviously, his main function was ideological work. He was not qualified to issue orders in the next step, so Master Chengkong had to come.
Master Chengkong smiled, and the Qingjing Bamboo in his hand tapped lightly in the void. The golden light on the bamboo leaves fell and condensed into a gold foil-style curtain. The curtain was painted with the map of Chen County.
"Now the disciples of the Great Freedom Demon Sect have all retreated to Chen County. According to my estimation, the number of people in the Great Freedom Demon Sect should be at least tens of millions."
Everyone was shocked, but Zheng Fa had expected it.
This number should be less - the population of the Nine Mountain Realm is 30 million.
The Great Freedom Demon Sect has been operating the secret realm for hundreds of thousands of years, and only counted over 100 million people, which should be an underestimate, but the exact number, I am afraid that Master Chengkong knows better than himself.
"Of course, there are only about 100,000 people with cultivation, and those who hold the Blood Evil Flag must have a cultivation level above the Golden Core - we estimate that there are at most a thousand people."
This number sounds much smaller.
But it is actually very terrifying, at least the size of ten Hundred Immortal Alliances.
Even this ratio is very high:
Zheng Fa himself calculated that in the Xuanwei Realm, there is probably one cultivator in ten thousand people.
The ratio of Golden Core to Qi Training is actually difficult to calculate:
Because Golden Cores live longer, the ratio of Golden Core to Qi Training in the sect is higher.
This is even more obvious for Yuanying. Before the Jiushan Sect, there were only a dozen Golden Cores in the sect, and there were three Yuanyings. Naturally, it is not possible to produce a Yuanying with four or five Golden Cores - mainly because the old man Yuan lived too long.
But no matter how you calculate it, the ratio of Golden Core in the Great Freedom Demon Sect is higher than that of normal immortal sects.
The bloodline of the Great Freedom Demon Sect is probably still helpful for cultivation.
In comparison, the population controlled by the gathered immortal sects now is far greater than the secret realm of the Great Freedom Demon Sect.
But the total number of golden elixirs should not exceed 300...
"What about Nascent Soul?"
Someone asked.
"We have an advantage above Nascent Soul." Master Chengkong said, "This time we have gathered nearly a hundred Nascent Souls. The cultivation methods of the Demon Sect are often fast in the early stage, but later they are not as good as our Immortal Sect..."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
There is still a fight.
After all, the Xuanwei Realm is still the place where the strong are respected, and quantity cannot beat quality.
"Since the advantage is in my hands, we cannot give the Great Freedom Demon Sect any breathing space when we enter Chen County this time." Master Chengkong pointed to the map and said, "I have only checked the Five-Direction Blood Evil Formation in the classics, and the specific weirdness is not fully recorded in the classics."
"The Great Freedom Demon Sect's methods are weird, and we must be on guard."
"If we cannot wipe out all the disciples of the Demon Sect above the Golden Elixir in Chen County and let the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor find a place to revive, all our previous efforts will be in vain."
Everyone nodded.
This time, they not only want to win the attack on Chen County, but also want to prevent the arrival of the Great Free Demon Ancestor.
This is the most troublesome point, after all, they have not figured out the methods of the Great Free Demon Sect.
"Therefore, I plan to divide the troops into six groups! Each Master Huashen will lead a group of cultivators to encircle Chen County. Each group will be responsible for two counties. They will sweep away all the demon sect cultivators above the Golden Core!"
Master Chengkong clicked six times on the map, and a circle was faintly formed.
Zheng Fa frowned when he heard it.
This is a bit too confident.
If they are defeated one by one...
"I, Fairy Xie and Master Wuzhi will provide support everywhere..."
Zheng Fa looked up, and from Master Chengkong's tone, it seemed that he regarded himself and Xie Qingxue as the three strongest people here.
Let alone Master Chengkong, the true disciple of the Supreme Dao, the hidden leader of this alliance, and the fierce man who took advantage of Chen County alone with the Qingjing Bamboo.
The other two...
"Fairy Xie holds the immortal sword left by Venerable Tianhe, and Master Wuzhi is proficient in a secret method called Six Divine Powers of Leiyin Temple."
"Not only does he have the heavenly eyes and ears, he can see the universe, but he also has the divine feet. He can take Fairy Xie and I to support everywhere..."
Zheng Fa immediately understood Master Cheng Kong's arrangement:
These three people are probably the strongest in the temple. He even suspected that Master Cheng Kong might be eager for the people of the Great Freedom Demon Sect to defeat them one by one, thinking of giving those gods a surprise.
The others felt relieved when they heard him say that.
"These six routes...what do you six think?"
Master Cheng Kong pointed six times. In addition to the two gods of Haori Mountain and Yaochi, Zheng Fa saw him point at the other three gods who came to help, and finally pointed his finger at himself.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Zheng Fa. Zheng Fa was not a real god. If there was a problem, it was probably this route.
Zheng Fa was also a little hesitant... He knew that Master Chengkong thought highly of him, but he was not willing to let Jiushan Sect be the main force.
The lack of endurance was a flaw. If a few gods came to attack, Senior Sister Zhang would be seriously injured after two attacks.
Although they could hide in Jiushan Realm, once they retreated, this road would collapse. If the Great Free Demon Ancestor had a chance to revive... that would be a big problem.
For Zheng Fa, what he considered was whether he could complete the task. If something went wrong, not to mention the blame from others, the favoritism of the Great Free Demon Ancestor would be terrifying.
As if seeing his hesitation, or wanting everyone to work harder, Master Chengkong said again: "If this battle is successful, the Hundred Immortals Alliance, my Supreme Dao, and even the other four sects will reward you at all costs!"
Hearing him say this, everyone looked at the people from the other four sects.
Sure enough, these people nodded slightly, as if they were approving what Master Chengkong said.
"May I ask... what rewards are there?"
Someone couldn't help asking.
Master Chengkong shook the Qingjing bamboo in his hand and smiled lightly: "I will never let you down."
Obviously, he is very confident in the foundation of the Supreme Dao.
Zheng Fa looked at the Qingjing bamboo and pondered in his heart - he wanted this bamboo, and he didn't know if Master Chengkong would still smile.
Master Chengkong looked at Zheng Fa, holding the Qingjing bamboo, and flicked it in his palm, as if waiting for Zheng Fa to make a decision - this was too tempting.
At this time, Xie Qingxue said: "I can lead the way."
Obviously, she saw Zheng Fa's dilemma.
On the contrary, Master Chengkong frowned: "Xie Xianzi, if it were Master Wuzhi and I, I'm afraid we wouldn't have the confidence to deal with the most dangerous situation..."
Everyone understood that he was referring to the situation where the Demon Sect's Transformation Gods gathered together. With three people together, Master Chengkong seemed confident, but without Xie Qingxue, he didn't have this confidence.
Zheng Fa was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "How many Yuanying cultivators are there in each group?"
Master Chengkong was stunned, and then he heard Zheng Fa continue: "After all, my Jiushan Sect does not have a real Transformation God... If you want to be responsible for one group alone, you have to send more Yuanying."
"That's fine..."
Master Chengkong nodded slowly, but his expression was very puzzled, and so were the others -
After all, they were all afraid of being besieged by the Transformation Gods, what's the use of having more Yuanying?
