Chapter 328: Rescue Xihuazhou
Two days later, Nie Lingfeng walked out of the retreat smoothly, and the Martial Emperor Zhenren was already waiting for him in the main hall.
Seeing Nie Lingfeng leave the customs on time, Martial Emperor Zhenren couldn't help but be shocked, although Nie Lingfeng was a monk of the lower grade during the Tribulation Period, but the day before yesterday, he said that he wanted to retreat to see if he could improve his cultivation, Martial Emperor Zhenren just took his words as a joke, who can advance in two days? He definitely wanted to stabilize his cultivation, or restore the mana that had been consumed these days, but he never imagined that the current Nie Lingfeng had really advanced to the middle grade of the Tribulation Period.
"How?" Seeing the Martial Emperor's stunned and amazed appearance, Nie Lingfeng smiled slightly and said.
"You! …… Head...... Your cultivation ...... Did you encounter some chance or swallow some elixir? "Martial Emperor Zhenren didn't even know what words to use to express his surprise.
"Huh!" Nie Lingfeng smiled, then nodded, "You guessed it!" ”
"Guess right? What guessed right? Seeing Nie Lingfeng's unfathomable appearance, Martial Emperor Zhenren couldn't help but shake his head secretly, this guy is really slippery, just forget it!
Although the Martial Emperor Zhenren was a little strange, but now in his opinion, there were too many possibilities for this Nie Lingfeng! As for why Nie Lingfeng suddenly improved his cultivation, he didn't have any desire to get to the bottom of it.
In fact, with Nie Lingfeng's cultivation progress, even if he didn't swallow the Poisonous Blood Grass, he would advance to the middle grade of the Tribulation Period in the next few years, but time waits for no one now, if his cultivation does not improve, then he is likely to be injured or even killed in the next big battle. Therefore, Nie Lingfeng didn't care about fighting steadily, and directly swallowed the poisonous blood grass, and cultivated to a medium grade that was stable in the tribulation period.
After bidding farewell to everyone, Nie Lingfeng changed back to his appearance and stepped on the mountain gate of the Divine Medicine Sect with the Martial Emperor Zhenren, although this was the second time that Nie Lingfeng had set foot on the Divine Medicine Mountain. However, the treatment is obviously different from the first time.
After receiving the report that Xianyuan had sent a mid-tribulation period and a master at the peak of the tribulation period to join and go to Xihuazhou together, even the Supreme Elder of the Divine Medicine Sect hurriedly came out of the customs to greet him.
Indeed, in the entire Hades Continent, the monks at the peak of the Tribulation Period are already top-notch existences, and no sect dares to easily provoke a sect with the peak monks of the Tribulation Period, not to mention that this Immortal Yuan Sect also has a head of the mid-Tribulation Period who is here!
Since the Immortal Yuan Sect is so supportive of the "initiative" of the Divine Medicine Sect. Of course, the Divine Medicine Sect will not lack the number of etiquette, and under the guidance of a group of beautiful disciples playing immortal music, the other sect elders who arrived early plus the high-ranking monks of the Divine Medicine Sect and a group of more than 100 people came to the front of the mountain in a mighty manner.
"Master Nie is really young and promising! The old man is Wei Jiutian of the Divine Medicine Sect! "That Divine Medicine Sect's Tribulation Peak Elder came all the way towards Nie Lingfeng.
"Elder Wei, look up for a long time!" Nie Lingfeng immediately returned the salute and said with a smile: "Nie Lingfeng has just established the Immortal Yuan Sect, and because there are too many things in the faction, he didn't come to visit. Please bear with me! ”
"Where, where! ......" The two flattered each other for a few sentences, and Wei Jiutian began to introduce the leaders of the two sides. Everyone got to know each other in front of the mountain, and Nie Lingfeng and Martial Emperor Zhenren entered the main hall of the Divine Medicine Sect accompanied by Wei Jiutian.
At this time, almost all the sects in Donghua Continent sent people, of course, except for the Xianyuan Sect, none of the sects sent monks who were at the peak of the Tribulation Period. In this way, the Immortal Yuan Sect immediately overrode the major sects, and was even directly guided to the first place of the guests, closely leaning on the master.
After taking a seat. Wei Jiutian picked up the immortal brew, first toasted everyone, and then said to Nie Lingfeng: "Master Nie, this time our monks from Donghua Continent went to support Xihua Continent, because the stakes are very high, so we need to have an alliance leader!" ”
"Yes, our Donghua Continent can't be regarded as a plate of loose sand by other continents!" Next to him, the Divine Medicine Sect Tribulation Elder Dong Guo Chun followed and said.
Indeed, before Nie Lingfeng arrived, everyone had already discussed, since this operation was led by the Divine Medicine Sect, let the monk of the Divine Medicine Sect serve as the leader of this alliance, and since this Dong Guo Chun was the highest cultivation in this operation, the position of this alliance leader obviously fell on his head. Besides, the other sects didn't want to compete with the Divine Medicine Sect, so he had long been confident in this position.
"My Immortal Yuan Sect respectfully obeys Elder Wei's orders!" Nie Lingfeng immediately said.
"That's not going to work! That's unacceptable! Seeing that Nie Lingfeng was so humble, Wei Jiutian immediately waved his hand and said, "According to this seat, the position of this alliance leader is the most suitable for Nie Lingfeng to sit in!" ……”
"Huh? ……”
"What? ……”
Hearing Wei Jiutian's words, there was an uproar below, just now it was clear that everyone had agreed to have Dong Guo Chun serve as the leader of the alliance, why did he suddenly change his mind now? However, who would dare not obey Wei Jiutian's orders? This is the Supreme Elder of the Divine Medicine Sect, the number one sect in Donghua Continent!
"That's unacceptable!" Nie Lingfeng hurriedly got up and excused himself: "The kid is a late learner, how can he take on such a heavy responsibility?" In my opinion, Elder Wei is the best candidate! ”
"This? ......" Hearing Nie Lingfeng's words, Wei Jiutian's face turned slightly red, and he hurriedly explained: "Master Nie, I won't tell you, I have encountered a little problem in my cultivation recently, and I am about to close the life and death pass, if I hadn't heard that you had come in person, I would definitely not have come forward!" ”
"Oh?" Nie Lingfeng originally wanted to pull this old fox into the water, but he didn't expect that this old guy would even say the words of life and death in order not to go to Xihuazhou. And Nie Lingfeng also knew very well that this Wei Jiutian seemed to be very affectionate on the surface, but in fact, this old guy was not a "great good man", he was deliberately causing other people to be hostile to his Immortal Yuan Sect!
After all, the monks sent by the other major sects are the top grades of the Tribulation Period, and even, most of them are the lower grades of the Tribulation Period, and those ancestors who are at the peak of the Tribulation Period are not willing to send out any sect to take risks, so Nie Lingfeng has become a person with "ill intentions", therefore, on the surface, everyone respects Nie Lingfeng, but. Privately, he was very disdainful.
In fact, in the Hades Continent, if you can meet a monk at the peak of the Tribulation Period, you will be like winning a billions jackpot! There are no monks at the peak of the Tribulation Period in ordinary sects, and only those super sects will have one or two such masters, because the masters at the peak of the Tribulation Period are generally piled up with a large amount of resources. Moreover, it is necessary for this monk to have the qualifications of the heavens, of course, it is not impossible to have a casual cultivator like Martial Emperor Zhenren, but there are only a few people who can let the world know.
Seeing that Wei Jiutian is not "on the set", of course Nie Lingfeng will not be stupid to be this "leading bird!" "This time, he brought the Martial Emperor Zhenren here, but he actually didn't know the thoughts of the various sects in Donghua Continent. If he knew that they were still preserving their strength, he would have come alone or even go directly to Xihuazhou by himself, but now that he had come, he could only stubbornly say: "Seniors, this time I came to form an alliance with the various sects of Donghua Continent and jointly deal with the demon beast riot in Xihuazhou, and the Martial Emperor Zhenren is just a companion, because the home of the Martial Emperor Zhenren is in Xihuazhou." Therefore, the purpose of Emperor Wu's return to Xihuazhou this time was to bring all the relatives in the clan back to the Xianyuan faction. So, of course, I'm a young latecomer who has to obey the dispatch of my seniors! ”
It wasn't until Nie Lingfeng expressed his posture in such a low profile that everyone's hostility towards him was lowered, of course, none of them dared to question the Martial Emperor Zhenren, and asked him why you didn't go to serve Donghua Continent and why you didn't support the monks of Xihua Continent at the moment. This is because in the Hades Continent, no one dares to question the ancestor at the peak of the Tribulation Period! Of course, those who have a background in the Great Gate Sect can, but none of the peak monks of your Great Gate Sect will come to participate in this matter. On what basis do you question others?
Seeing that Nie Lingfeng easily resolved this "crisis", Wei Jiutian was relieved, in fact, he had already received the news that his junior brother Jin Ding Zhenren was likely to die in the hands of Nie Lingfeng and Martial Emperor Zhenren, but he couldn't turn his face with Nie Lingfeng now, so he could only endure it for the time being, waiting for the opportunity to take revenge.
In Wei Jiutian's opinion, since this Nie Lingfeng is so difficult to deal with, then, his own decision is extremely correct! If you don't make arrangements in advance, you will rashly make enemies with the other party, then you are likely to bring huge trouble to the Divine Medicine Sect.
"In that case, let's assign it!" Seeing that Nie Lingfeng was not competing with him for the position of alliance leader, Dong Guo Chun, the high-grade elder of the Divine Medicine Sect, said with a smile: "You are all the elites of our Donghua Continent, then, our Donghua Continent Alliance must stand out in this elite event of the Hades Continent!" ……”
"Obey the command of the alliance leader!" After Dong Guo Chun talked a lot of nonsense, the monks below immediately expressed their obedience to Dong Guo Chun's dispatch.
"Well, we're in a bloody alliance! ……”
Immediately afterwards, in order to facilitate the command, Dong Guo Chun divided everyone into four teams.
The first team: the leader of the alliance, Dong Guo Chun, led nearly thirty monks who crossed the tribulation period in the middle;
The second team: Duan Yushan, the high-grade monk of the Spirit Beast Sect, led thirty low-grade monks of the Tribulation Period to protect the left wing of the alliance leader;
Third team: Nie Lingfeng led thirty monks of the lower grade of the Tribulation Period to protect the right flank of the alliance leader;
The fourth team: Fu Zhenren led several monks who were in the middle of the tribulation period and more than 20 monks who were in the middle of the tribulation period.
Although Nie Lingfeng excused himself, everyone felt that there was still an ancestor at the peak of the Tribulation Period by Nie Lingfeng's side for the time being, even if he didn't care about Nie Lingfeng, he couldn't lose the face of the Martial Emperor's real person, so they persuaded one after another, and in the end, Nie Lingfeng could only agree to come down and take someone to protect him on the flank.
Seeing that the other three captains had been selected, the next step was to start assigning monks, and this time, in order to embarrass Nie Lingfeng, Wei Jiutian spoke again: "For the sake of fairness, those monks who are in the middle of the Tribulation Period are all in the team of the Alliance Leader and the Captain of the Royal Highness, but the remaining monks who are in the lower grades of the Tribulation Period, you need to choose your own captain and choose the person you want to follow on this trip!" ”
In fact, Wei Jiutian's proposal is very correct, because to go to war, it is necessary for his soldiers to obey orders, and this time to support Xihuazhou, the monks who come to the alliance are generally elite elders of various sects, and no one can forcibly divide their belonging, so it is the best choice to leave this choice to themselves.
"Senior brother is right!" When Dong Guo Chun heard Wei Jiutian's words, he immediately nodded, and said, "Next, please ask the three captains to stand in the three corners of the main hall, and all the monks who are inferior to the Tribulation Period will choose their own captains independently. Of course, if you have too many people in your team, then you have to divide some of the extra monks in your team to fill in the other teams. ”
In fact, Wei Jiutian's approach is very absolute! You think, the other three teams are all led by the top-grade ancestors of the Tribulation Period. And Nie Lingfeng is just a mid-tribulation period monk, although there is a peak ancestor of the tribulation period by his side temporarily, but after going to Xihuazhou, this Martial Emperor real person will leave, and if other monks choose him, the degree of danger they encounter is obviously much greater. After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, the gap between the top grade of the Tribulation Period and the middle grade of the Tribulation Period is not a little bit!
Seeing that the three captains were all standing in their respective positions, the monks below who were inferior to the Tribulation Period also began to take action.
In the beginning. Nie Lingfeng only paid attention to those mid-grade and high-grade monks in the Tribulation Period, and did not observe those lower-grade monks in the Tribulation Period at all, after all, the distance between them was relatively far, and Nie Lingfeng didn't want to know them, so it was only now that he looked at those low-grade monks in the middle.
Duan Yushan of the Spirit Beast Sect had just gained a foothold, and an elder of his Spirit Beast Sect, several vassal sects, and elders of the friendly sect immediately followed, and the situation of the Fu Sect was the same. It was immediately surrounded by a friendly alliance of its own sect.
Most of the remaining monks are from the other six major sects, vassal sects, and even casual cultivators. The reason why they don't act rashly is because they are observing the situation. Although he said that he could choose whatever he wanted, once he chose the wrong captain, then he would have a hard time in the future!
For example: if you choose Nie Lingfeng, but. There are ten more people in Nie Lingfeng's team, and these ten people will be selected by Nie Lingfeng, after all, there can only be thirty people in his team, and these ten people have now been kicked out and entered Duan Yushan's team because they chose Nie Lingfeng before. Then, not to mention that Duan Yushan will not give himself a good look, maybe other monks will also humiliate themselves, and even, the task of being cannon fodder will fall on their heads.
"Huh?" Nie Lingfeng couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw the figure of a man.
"Master Nie, I, Xiao Bing, am willing to follow you!" The first person to stand next to Nie Lingfeng turned out to be Xiao Bing, the grandson of Jin Jian Zhenren, and some time ago, Nie Lingfeng had seen him before entering the underground treasure house of the Divine Medicine Sect in disguise, but he didn't expect that after only twenty or thirty days, Xiao Bing had become a master of the Tribulation Period!
"Xiao Bing, have you advanced to the Tribulation Period so soon?" Nie Lingfeng said in surprise.
"Master, I got a chance ...... in the underground treasure house of the Divine Medicine Sect some time ago," Xiao Bing said.
"Well, that's great!" Nie Lingfeng nodded, and then said, "I was too busy some time ago, and I didn't have a chance to ask, how is Gu He doing now?" ”
"Gu Zhangmen is also hitting the threshold of the Tribulation Period now, I think, after we come back from Xihuazhou, he must have succeeded!" Xiao Bing said with a smile.
"Hmmm! That's just great! Nie Lingfeng nodded with a smile, and just as he was about to speak again, he saw two monks, a man and a woman, walking straight towards him, and clasping his fists and saying, "Master Nie, we are willing to join your team!" ”
"Xiaofeng, Dugu Sword?" Nie Lingfeng couldn't imagine that these two people had also come to the Divine Medicine Sect, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Why didn't you go back to retreat?" ”
"Huh!" Xiaofeng Zhenren smiled slightly and explained: "There are some things, although we have made efforts, but we are just running errands, and we are not qualified to enjoy them yet!" ”
Hearing Xiao Feng's explanation, Dugu Jian also smiled, and Nie Lingfeng also understood, so he smiled and waved his hand, signaling them to stand behind him, indeed, there are some things that cannot be said in public, and they already understand what they mean, they are just acting on orders, even if they get the poisonous blood grass, the person who promotes cultivation will not be them, after all, the role of a mid-tribulation period product and the peak of the tribulation period is completely different!
After seeing that the people of the Fengyun Sect, Fengming Pavilion, and Shenjian Villa came to Nie Lingfeng's side, all of a sudden, the vassal sects of the Fengyun Sect, the Fengming Pavilion, and the vassal sects of the Divine Sword Villa, as well as the monks who followed Xiaofeng and Dugu Jian all walked towards Nie Lingfeng.
In this way, Nie Lingfeng's side was suddenly full of people, and it had almost reached twenty.
At this time, nearly half of the monks in the middle of the hall did not move, and they were also thinking about finding a team that was most suitable for them, of course, those who didn't know why they liked to follow the monks who cultivated highly, but even so, they were not stupid, once they chose the wrong team, then, the injured must be themselves!
Suddenly, a shout came from a corner of the main hall, "Xiaofeng, come here!" ”
It turned out that there was a female cultivator in the middle of the tribulation period in the team of the real people who exploded the talisman and greeted Xiaofeng.
"Senior Sister Yanfeng, I want to follow Master Nie!" Of course, Xiaofeng knew what her senior sister meant, but since she chose Nie Lingfeng, she would not give up halfway, besides, after fighting side by side with Nie Lingfeng some time ago, she not only understood Nie Lingfeng's combat strength, but also had a deep understanding of his personality.
