Chapter 168: Nine Leaves Valley
Before Qin Chuan led the five elders to rush to the Kunshan sect together, various arrangements had been made in the sect. At this time, everyone divided into three routes, and each way beckoned the men and horses that had been prepared for a long time, and went straight to the destination.
At present, except for Qiu Chengfeng, the elder-level members of the Feather Sect are all cultivators of the sixth layer of the Qi cultivation period. This kind of cultivation, among the four sects of Nine Leaves Valley, Feiyun Sect, Splendid Sect, and Tianlan Sect, even ordinary disciples can reach this level.
However, in the direction of Feiyunmen, with Qiu Chengfeng, a master of the Great Perfection of the Qi Training Period, presiding over the overall situation, it must be foolproof; In the direction of the Splendid Sect, there is the Purple Flame Ginseng Merchant Beast in charge, which is also enough to ensure the safety of Su Qianxue and Cao Xiaolazi.
As for the Nine Leaves Valley, Qin Chuan went out on his own, and of course there was no problem.
However, this kind of distribution still made Qin Chuan feel a little imperfect.
The strength of the first echelon of the Yuhua Gate is not weak, Qiu Chengfeng, the Purple Flame Ginseng Merchant Beast, and the Ice Cold Ginseng Merchant Beast are all the strength of the Great Perfection during the Qi Training Period. Although Qin Chuan himself is slightly inferior, he has two spiritual weapon-level magic weapons to assist, and if he fights head-on, even Qiu Chengfeng thinks that he can't beat him.
In this way, the top strength of the Feather Sect is equivalent to a total of four Qi cultivation period Great Perfection masters.
In the outer area east of the void abyss in the Kunxu Mountain Range, there is no sect that can be compared.
However, if you compare the strength of the second echelon, the Feather Gate is much weaker than the six major factions. An elder-level figure, he only has the strength of the sixth layer of the Qi cultivation period, but he is comparable to the inner disciples of the six major sects.
The role of the master should not be underestimated. But if the sect wants to have an everlasting foundation, it must have a strong overall strength.
For the four elders and the ten inner disciples, it is also necessary to increase the funding to help them improve their cultivation faster. In addition, among the outer doors, it is also necessary to appropriately tilt a little bit of resources in order to cultivate more reserve talents.
If it had been placed in the past, the resources that the Feather Gate itself had would not be enough to provide so many people to move forward together. But now, things are different. After subduing the Nine Leaves Valley, the Splendid Sect, the Feiyun Gate, and the Tianlan Sect this time, the benefits that the Feather Sect can obtain will be more than ten times or even dozens of times the previous ones!
After all, the six major factions have dominated the southwest area of the Kunxu Mountain Range for hundreds of years, and the heritage is profound. The resources in this area are almost all monopolized by them. Within the sect, there must be no shortage of spirit stones, magic weapons, talismans and the like. As for the mountains, rivers and valleys where elixirs grow, Qin Chuan knows it even better.
Now that the Feather Gate has risen, it's time to redivide the cake!
There is no doubt that the Feather Gate has now grasped the absolute initiative in the local area. Even if all the resources owned by all the sects were snatched up, no one would be able to resist.
However, Qin Chuan did not intend to do so. Because he understands a truth, tyrants and tyrannies must not last. If you want the foundation of the sect to survive and develop steadily, you must have a degree in doing things.
This "degree", Qin Chuan has already grasped it after a few days of thinking. This is also why he ordered all walks of life to kill fewer people before, and let the four factions of Jiuye Valley, Splendid Sect, Feiyun Gate, and Tianlan Sect all nominate the three most prestigious people.
While repeatedly scrutinizing his entire idea in his heart, Qin Chuan drove the Chongxiao Spirit Crane and flew towards the Nine Leaves Valley.
Speaking of which, during this period of time, Chongxiao Linghe was in good condition, and his cultivation was improving rapidly, and it seemed that it was about to be time to advance again. Once the Chongxiao Spirit Crane is promoted to the third level, it will at least have the strength of the Great Perfection of the Qi Training Period. In this way, the initiative of the Yuhuamen in the southwest of the Kunxu Mountain Range will be further consolidated.
It's just that...... To the east of the Void Abyss, it is only the periphery of the Kunxu Mountain Range, and it is not considered to have entered the real territory of the Immortal Cultivator. Qin Chuan's ambition is not limited to this.
Cross the void abyss and enter the real Kunxu Mountain realm, where there is a broader stage!
Qin Chuan's speed of the Spirit Crane was amazing, and after a while, under the vast clouds, the vast Nine Leaves Valley entered Qin Chuan's field of vision. However, Qin Chuan did not rush to enter the Nine Leaves Valley immediately, but circled and flew over the Nine Leaves Valley, while waiting for Chen Hao to lead ten Feather Sect disciples to rush over, while observing the movements of the Nine Leaves Valley.
The Nine Leaves Valley is located in a vast valley with a suitable climate and a warm spring. There are often clouds lingering in the sky above the valley, which is quite a bit of a fairyland on earth.
As a major sect that has been inherited for hundreds of years in the southwest of the Kunxu Mountain Range, the Nine Leaves Valley is very large in terms of the size of the sect and the number of disciples. In particular, the number of disciples was 700, more than twice the number of the Feather Sect.
At this time, the Nine Leaves Valley was heavily guarded, the atmosphere was solemn, and the personnel came and went in an orderly manner. Obviously, these disciples who stayed in the valley didn't know that the elite team personally led by Fang Shaoyang had all been wiped out above the Kunshan faction.
Since there was no movement in the Nine Leaves Valley, Qin Chuan was relieved. He ordered the Chongxiao Spirit Crane to fall from the sky, find a secluded place, close his eyes and meditate with peace of mind, and wait for the arrival of Chen Hao and the other disciples while cultivating.
The ones selected by Chen Hao were all disciples of the third echelon of the Yuhua Sect.
The candidates for this echelon are only two or three layers. He doesn't have the ability to fly yet. However, he is physically strong, and even if he walks on foot, his speed is far faster than that of ordinary people. Without letting Qin Chuan wait too long, Chen Hao led ten disciples to the front of the Nine Leaves Valley and joined Qin Chuan.
"See the boss!"
Chen Hao led all the disciples to salute Qin Chuan.
"Let's excuse me." Qin Chuan stood up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and then said to Chen Hao: "Senior Brother Chen, you will open the way, hold Fang Shaoyang's head, and enter the Nine Leaves Valley!" β
"Yes!" Chen Hao bowed, took out Fang Shaoyang's head, which had already been dealt with, from the storage bag, and then took a big stride towards the gate of Nine Leaves Valley.
Qin Chuan walked behind Chen Hao, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly. The other ten disciples followed neatly behind Qin Chuan and walked towards Taniguchi together.
"Who's coming? Stop now! This is the forbidden land of Nine Leaves Valley, and those who intrude at will will will be killed! The two Nine Leaf Valley disciples who were in charge of guarding the mouth of the valley soon spotted the twelve people of the Feather Sect and immediately stopped them from moving forward loudly.
Chen Hao said loudly: "Fang Shaoyang's wolf ambition entangled the four factions to attack the Kunshan faction, an ally of the Yuhua Gate. Now it has been completely annihilated by the head of this sect on Kunshan. Today, the head of this sect is personally driving to the Nine Leaves Valley, if you are interested, you will obediently surrender. Otherwise, the power of thunder is very difficult to predict! β
"What? The head of the Feather Gate annihilated the elite of the sect? The sky is white, you talk in your dreams, right? The Nine Leaves Valley Mountain Guarding disciples listened to Chen Hao's words, glanced at each other, and couldn't help but laugh with great contempt.
What is Nine Leaves Valley? One of the six local powerhouses. After the Jiuqu Huilongdong incident, it is the biggest beneficiary.
What is Feathergate? A nameless faction, before the Jiuqu Huilongdong incident, few people had even heard of his name.
Now the valley lord has united the four major sects to attack the Kunshan faction, and there is no reason to be invincible. Now a fresh face suddenly appeared, declaring what "the head of the Feather Gate Qin destroyed all the people of the Nine Leaves Valley", who would believe it?
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was so powerful, the four mountain guarding disciples might not be able to help but rush up to clean up Chen Hao.
Chen Hao was very angry when he saw that the other party's face was full of contempt, and was about to continue, but Qin Chuan waved his hand to stop him: "Senior Brother Chen, don't bother to speak, show them Fang Shaoyang's head, they will understand everything." β
Chen Hao nodded, and with a wave of his right hand, he threw Fang Shaoyang's head at the four mountain guarding disciples: "Your valley master's head is here!" If you have the ability, you can ask him in person, whether Lao Tzu is talking about a dream or the truth! β
Seeing that Chen Hao actually threw a head in the air, the four mountain guarding disciples were all surprised. However, someone still stepped forward and took Fang Shaoyang's head in his hand.
Looking down, the disciple guarding the mountain suddenly changed his face drastically, and with an exclamation of "ah", he threw Fang Shaoyang's head to the ground, and at the same time took a few steps back, his eyes were wide open, his lips trembled, but he couldn't speak anyway.
The other three Nine Leaf Valley Mountain Guarding disciples saw that he reacted so greatly, and they all felt cold in their hearts. I didn't even ask him, I just stepped forward and saw the true face of the human head with my own eyes.
At a glance, the three disciples also jumped up in shock, and everyone looked at each other, and they all saw infinite horror and panic in each other's eyes.
This...... This...... This turned out to be really the head of the valley master Fang Shaoyang!
No way! No way! With the cultivation of the Gu Master and the strength of the elite disciples of the four major sects uniting in one place, how could it be that the Yuhua Sect and the Kunshan Sect could compete?
"Don't be fooled. With the wisdom and martial arts of the valley master, in fact, what can a small feather gate hurt? It must be that these people don't know how to forge a human head, and they want to go to the Nine Leaves Valley to create panic and fish in troubled waters! One of the Nine Leaf Valley Mountain Guarding disciples suddenly woke up, as if he had discovered a new continent, and shouted loudly.
When the other three heard this, they also felt like they had taken a reassuring pill and nodded one after another.
"Junior brothers, keep an eye on these people, don't let them escape! I'll go into the valley to report the situation, and ask Senior Brother Yan to come and make a decision!" The mountain guarding disciple who looked like a small leader gave a word to the other three and rushed into the valley as if he were flying.
The remaining three people showed their magic weapons and slowly dispersed, each occupying a position to prevent the Yuhuamen from evacuating.
Qin Chuan looked at the actions of these four people, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. These four mountain-guarding disciples are only five or six levels of cultivation, and Qin Chuan wants to kill them without much effort. But he didn't choose to stop it.
Let that little leader spread the word about the matter and summon the monks who hold real power in the Nine Leaves Valley here, and you can save yourself a lot of trouble.
Sure enough, after the leader of the mountain guard entered the valley to report, it quickly caused a great shock, and groups of Nine Leaf Valley monks began to pour towards the mouth of the valley.
"It's them! It's them! It is indeed a person in the Feather Gate! β
Among the many disciples of Jiuye Valley who rushed over, there were those who followed Fang Shaoyang to participate in the treasure exploration of the Jiuqu Dragon Cave, and when they rushed over, they recognized Qin Chuan and Chen Hao at a glance.
At the same time, there was a middle-aged monk in the crowd who was about thirty years old, who slowly stepped forward and stood still in front of Qin Chuan, staring at Qin Chuan with cold eyes, while asking the person who spoke just now, "Senior Brother Han Zheng, are these people really from the Yuhua Sect?" β
The Nine Leaf Valley disciple named Han Zheng immediately replied, "Yes, Senior Brother Yan Xin. When I followed the valley lord to Feiyun Gate, I had seen this surnamed Qin with my own eyes, and he was undoubtedly it! A nameless little faction, with only seven layers of cultivation, actually dared to come to the Nine Leaves Valley, it was really impatient! β
"Where is the head he brought? Hurry up! "Before Fang Shaoyang led many elite disciples out of the valley to attack the Kunshan faction, he ordered Yan Xin, an inner disciple, to temporarily manage the sect's affairs. At this time, Yan Xin's expression was arrogant, and he gave orders, and sure enough, he was in charge of the posture of the person in charge.
Immediately, a disciple guarding the mountain picked up Fang Shaoyang's head and sent it to Yan Xin.
Yan Xin took it in his hand and saw that the original arrogant expression on his face was gone. He is an inner disciple, he is quite respected, and he usually sees Fang Shaoyang far more times than those gatekeeper disciples, so he is naturally more familiar with Fang Shaoyang's appearance.
At this time, when I saw people's heads, I felt that the cold air was rising from my back. This...... How could this human head be a forgery! The black moles, scars, and various features on the face are completely correct!
ThisγThis is definitely the head of the valley master!
After determining Fang Shaoyang's head, Yan Xin had lost all his arrogance just now, and swallowed his saliva several times, before he mustered up the courage to say to Qin Chuan: "Dare to ask Daoyou, this head...... Where did you get this head? β
Before Qin Chuan could speak, Han Zheng preemptively said, "Senior Brother Yan Xin, why bother talking to these little minions!" They were all arrested, tortured, and asked what they said! β
"Senior Brother Han Zheng, don't ...... Don't be rude! Yan Xin looked at Qin Chuan's indifferent expression, and for some reason, beads of sweat began to ooze from his forehead.
When Han Zheng heard this, a disdainful smile couldn't help but appear on his face, and he raised his voice and said, "Senior Brother Yan Xin, before the valley master left, he entrusted the affairs of the sect to you. You are so timid, you can't stand up in front of a nameless faction, aren't you afraid of falling into the name of our Nine Leaves Valley? β
Qin Chuan didn't have much of a mood to waste time with these little minions of the Nine Leaves Valley. Seeing that there were quite a lot of people gathered, he said lightly: "Your name is Han Zheng, right?" You can eat more rice, but you can't talk more. If you like to be strong, the consequences are often serious! β
When Han Zheng heard this, he looked up to the sky and laughed: "The surname is Qin, you are arrogant inside your Yuhua Sect, and no one cares about you." But out of the Feather Gate, you don't even have the qualifications to speak! Today, even if Yan Xin allows you to indulge in front of the Nine Leaves Valley Gate, I, Han Zheng, will never allow you! β
Han Zheng and Yan Xin are also elite disciples of Jiuye Valley, and they both have a certain amount of power. This time, Yan Xin was appointed by Fang Shaoyang to act as the acting valley master, and Han Zheng has always been obsessed. The main purpose of treating Qin Chuan like this is to create an adverse impact on Yan Xin in public opinion.
Anyway, Qin Chuan's details were clear to him when he was in Feiyun Gate, although he was the head of the sect, he had only only practiced the cultivation of the seventh layer of the Qi period. And the nameless little faction definitely doesn't have any good magic weapons to use. Han Zheng is confident, with his own cultivation and the high-grade magic weapon in his hand, it is more than enough to clean up Qin Chuan.
If Qin Chuan is really captured, he can not only show his face in front of so many fellow disciples, but also suppress Yan Xin's prestige, which is really a double win!
I don't know if Yan Xin, who is very arrogant in Ping, took the wrong medicine today, and he was afraid in front of a small sect like Yuhuamen.
Han Zheng has always been simple-minded and lazy to think, so of course he won't use his brain at this time. He took out his magic weapon, Zijin Suo, from the storage bag, urged the spiritual power to infuse it, shouted loudly, rose into the air, and launched an offensive against Qin Chuan first.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but sneer. He is cautious and never rashly acts without knowing the details of the other party, so he despises this kind of arrogant and brainless person.
Today, if you come to Jiuye Valley and don't kill people first, the next thing won't go well. Then, as Han Zheng wishes, use him to wake up everyone!
Han Zheng didn't know that his death had quietly come. After jumping into the air, with a wave of his hands, the high-grade magic weapon Zijin Suo immediately rose into the air, circling forward like a long snake, and invaded Qin Chuan's body.
This purple gold rope is a bondage-like magic weapon, and it doesn't have much lethality. But it is very flexible and secretive, and once it is entangled in close proximity, it is difficult to break free. At this time, the purple gold rope brought a burst of purple light, approaching Qin Chuan like lightning.
But Qin Chuan stood still and didn't move.
"Haha, this surnamed Qin really doesn't know whether to live or die! is an eighth-layer master, and if he falls under the entanglement of the purple gold rope, he can't break free, let alone a seventh-layer master! Han Zheng saw that Qin Chuan did not dodge, and his heart was overjoyed. While continuing to urge the spiritual power and controlling the Zijin Suo to advance, he flew close to Qin Chuan at the same time. After Qin Chuan was entangled in the purple gold rope, he immediately attacked and killed him on the spot.
However, it is a pity that the next plot did not develop as Han Zheng expected. After the purple gold rope approached Qin Chuan, it immediately writhed like a giant snake and wound Qin Chuan up and down. It's a pity that before the purple gold rope could be wound, a strong silver light suddenly burst out from Qin Chuan's body.
This light contained a terrifying power, and before Han Zheng could notice the abnormality, he only heard a few "pops" sounds, and the purple gold rope that had been wrapped around Qin Chuan's body was actually broken into seventeen or eighteen sections by the silver light, and suddenly all the spiritual surnames were lost, and they all fell to the ground.
It was Qin Chuan's Mingyang Xuanjia that played a role.
With this spiritual weapon-level magic weapon to protect his body, even if other monks also used spiritual weapons to attack Qin Chuan, it would be difficult to hurt him, let alone a high-grade magic weapon.
Han Zheng originally thought that he was in control of the situation. Who knew that in an instant, this kind of change would happen, and he was dumbfounded. The rest of the Nine Leaf Valley disciples also took a breath of cool air in unison - this Qin Chuan, is it really just a seventh-layer cultivation in the Qi cultivation period? Breaking the high-grade magic weapon empty-handed, even the valley master Fang Shaoyang does not have this kind of strength!
