Chapter 85: The New Emperor of Taishan
Nie Teng's requirements were very high, and at the end of the day, he only picked out less than thirty young people. The next day there were even less, only a dozen people. On the third day, less than 10 people came to sign up. The reason for this is that on the one hand, the high standards of the Nie family have scared off many people, and on the other hand, there is another immortal cultivation sect in the imperial city, the Wulu Sect. Not far from the Nie family's signboard, they also erected a signboard of about the same size - "Wulu Sect Accepts Disciples".
It is rumored that the Wulu Sect was once attacked by the Haoyang Hunters, and all the Soul Condensing Realm Immortal Cultivators in the Sect were killed, and the only remaining two Bone Refining Realm Immortal Cultivators were also seriously injured, so their strength fell very badly, and they even became a puppet gang controlled by the Haoyang Hunters for a time.
After the Haoyang hunters retreated, the Wulu Sect was not disbanded. On the contrary, in a very short period of time, the sect actually recruited more than a dozen Bone Refining Realm cultivators, and compared to other sects, the strength was not weakened much. Of course, except for Yuanwei who once inadvertently discovered the collusion between the Wulu Sect and the Haoyang Hunters, outsiders may not know the secret, and maybe some people don't care if they know it. In any case, the Wulu Sect was still one of the several major forces in Yan County City.
The Wulu Sect also needed to expand its strength, and they also came to the Imperial City of Qishan. When they played the sign of recruiting talents, those who had been frustrated in the Nie family flocked to the Wulu Sect.
Due to Nie Qiong's existence, the Nie family had long regarded themselves as the boss of Yanjun City, and Nie Teng was naturally dissatisfied with what the Wulu Sect had done. He took Yuanwei and the others straight to the inn where the Wulu Sect was located, intending to ask the teacher for guilt.
The inn that was completely chartered by the Wulu Sect was also luxurious and magnificent, and the mortals who were waiting in line for the assessment formed a long line, winding on the street outside the inn, which was in stark contrast to the Nie family who were cold in front of the door. Of course, many of these people waiting in line were left by the Nie family.
"The rabble!" Nie Teng snorted coldly in his nostrils, and stepped into the courtyard with a flick of his big sleeves.
In the courtyard, a middle-aged man in his forties was sitting on a chair and carefully looking at the team in front of him, and behind him were more than a dozen disciples of the Wulu Sect and dozens of mortals selected by him, and the middle-aged man who had been rejected by Nie Teng at the beginning was among them.
The middle-aged man on the chair was also a cultivator in the Bone Refining Realm, but Nie Teng didn't know him.
"Does this senior brother come to us for any advice?" The man saw Nie Teng's arrival, stood up and greeted politely.
Nie Teng didn't speak, just squinted his eyes and looked inside and outside the inn.
A disciple of the Wulu Sect walked out, this person Yuanwei knew, he had seen the traces of this person in the dark with Mu Wei, this person was Bai Jun who was sent by the Haoyang hunters to collect spirit stones. Bai Jun approached the middle-aged man and explained a few words in a low voice, as if to tell him Nie Teng's identity.
"It turned out to be Senior Brother Nie of the Nie family, Yue Yunyang was rude. The middle-aged Yue Yunyang arched his hand, in fact, the Wulu Sect made such a big noise and dared to sing against the Nie family, they naturally knew it in their hearts.
"Senior Brother Yue is so good-looking, I am familiar with all the people in your Wulu Sect, and it seems that there is no one named Yue Yunyang!" Nie Teng glanced at him up and down, very arrogant.
"Oh, I just joined the Wulu Sect not long ago, and I am the new elder of the sect, so it's not surprising that Senior Brother Nie doesn't know him. Yue Yunyang was neither arrogant nor humble, but it seemed that Nie Teng was uneducated.
Nie Teng didn't want to get close to him, so he asked, "Didn't Senior Brother Yue see our Nie family recruiting disciples in the Imperial City?
"Senior Brother Nie is serious, this Imperial City of Taishan belongs to the Taishan Empire, when the emperor of the dynasty agreed to us to recruit disciples here, how could it interfere with the Nie family? However, even if there is any interference, Senior Brother Nie should go to the emperor, if he thinks that we have done something wrong, we will change it immediately. "Yue Yunyang actually put the blame on the mortal emperor.
"You ..." Nie Teng was speechless, but the other party was also a cultivator in the Bone Refining Realm, and it didn't seem to be able to take advantage of it. After thinking about it, Nie Teng angrily took out the Spirit Feather Flying Machine, took off into the air and went straight to the inner city, and Yuan Wei and the others followed closely when they saw it.
Immortal cultivators usually try to keep a low profile when they come to the mortal realm, and the Nie family deliberately made a big noise in their anger, and the qi waves agitated by everyone in the air made a huge roar, and the mortals in the city were deeply shocked when they saw it, and many people directly knelt on the ground and worshipped.
Nie Teng seemed to be familiar with the road, and took Yuanwei and the others straight to the emperor's Jinluan Palace.
On the Jinluan Palace, when the emperor Jiang Zhenkui sat on the dragon chair with his back to the south, a beautiful young woman stood behind him. Jiang Zhenkui looked like he was in his sixties, tall and thin, with a beard under his forehead, and a restrained look in his eyes, he was discussing something with his courtiers, but he was alarmed by the momentum of the Nie family. The eunuch on duty at the door waited there early, prostrate and chanted loudly: "My emperor has invited all the immortals into the palace!"
The emperor of the Qishan Empire did not come out to greet him in person, which made Nie Teng a little dissatisfied, but when he entered the Jinluan Hall and saw Jiang Zhenkui sitting high on the dragon chair, he didn't even have the intention of lifting his buttocks, and he couldn't help but explode anymore. He stomped his foot violently, and a wave of purple qi was like a raging bull, overturning the ministers who were originally lined up in a neat line, and went straight to Jiang Zhenkui on the dragon chair.
Nie Teng may not have noticed it in his anger, but Yuan Wei had already discovered that Jiang Zhenkui on the dragon chair was not a simple mortal, and he had a hidden spiritual power on his body, just like the aura of an immortal cultivator hidden on his body. Moreover, Jiang Zhenkui's hidden aura was not weaker than that of the Soul Condensing Realm! Thinking back to the beginning, Senior Brother Jiang Li's cultivation in the Gathering Spirit Realm was still mishaprising, Yuan Wei was even more sure that this Jiang Zhenkui was not simple.
Sure enough, Nie Teng's purple qi wave had just swooped in front of the dragon chair, and Jiang Zhenkui waved his sleeves, and the ferocious qi wave dissipated invisibly. Jiang Zhenkui stood up calmly, as if the dangerous scene just now had not happened: "Listening to the report of the guards, the Nie family came to our Pishan Empire to recruit disciples, and I am very happy in my heart. Thinking back then, the Jiang family and the Nie family had a deep friendship, and some of our descendants should carry forward this friendship. By the way, I don't know who the children of the Nie family are, did you encounter any trouble here?"
Jiang Zhenkui's words were not very good in the ears of the Nie family.
But Nie Teng was shocked by Jiang Zhenkui's strength and couldn't answer in a daze.
However, Nie Youlan was used to being arrogant, she took a step forward and shouted with her hands on her waist: "Knowing that we are the Nie family, don't you kneel to greet us?"
"Haha, the little girl is open-mouthed, I don't blame you. Jiang Zhenkui twisted his beard and laughed, he turned his head and glanced at the young woman behind him intentionally or unintentionally.
"Talking nonsense in front of the emperor, the capital crime can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, you have to slap your mouth!" As soon as the words fell, the beautiful young woman behind Jiang Zhenkui snorted coldly, and her figure turned into a golden light and rushed straight at Nie Youlan.
The glamorous young woman was originally standing quietly behind Jiang Zhenkui, and she should have hidden the spiritual power on her body. Her sudden outburst made Nie Teng unable to react.
A "pop" sounded, and Nie Teng could almost imagine Nie Youlan's miserable appearance.
However, the truth was unexpected, Nie Teng looked at it and found that Nie Youlan was lying in Yuanwei's arms in shock, in her original position, a cyan dragon shadow was hovering like a condensed water dragon, and the young woman hit the dragon head with a palm. However, the dragon shadow quickly collapsed under the young woman's blow.
"Huh!" the glamorous young woman exclaimed, "I can't see that a little lame man in the Spirit Gathering Realm is so fast." ”
It turned out that Yuan Wei saw that the situation was not good, and condensed his spiritual power to conjure up two dragon shadows, one pulled Nie Youlan into his arms, and the other stood in front of the young woman. Yuanwei had already seen that Jiang Zhenkui and the glamorous young woman had hidden their cultivation, but from the momentum, they should be above the Bone Refining Realm, so they didn't fight with her, for fear of intensifying the conflict between the two sides.
Nie Youlan was shocked, but how could she, who had never suffered a loss since she was a child, swallow this evil breath, she shouted hoarsely, completely ignoring her own image: "Don't you know who my grandfather is? You dare to beat me! I will let my grandfather kill you all, and I will make the entire Qishan Empire pay the price!"
The young woman's attention was originally drawn to Yuanwei, Nie Youlan's scream made her look away, and a strange look appeared on her face, some pity, some ridiculous and some disgust, just like looking at a stubborn child who was completely controlled by herself and could not resist. Although her expression was only a flash, it was captured by Motoo's eyes.
Seeing the young woman walking towards Nie Youlan, and watching the Nie family tear up the posture as if they were facing a great enemy, Jiang Zhenkui stopped her, "Concubine Min, don't mess around, the Nie family is a distinguished guest of our Qishan Empire." He turned around and looked at Nie Teng condescendingly, "I don't know what this Aiqing is called, what is the purpose of coming to Jinluan Palace?"
Jiang Zhenkui completely regarded Nie Teng as his own courtier, which made Nie Teng unacceptable. I think that at the beginning, the ancestor of the Nie family did accept the reward of the Qishan Empire, but at that time, Nie Wuchang was completely a kind of emperor status.
"I just want to ask, is it the emperor's order for the Wulu Sect to accept disciples in the outer city?" Nie Teng calmed down and asked as politely as possible.
"Elder Wulu Zongyue brought a letter from the head of the sect, requesting that immortal disciples be recruited in the imperial city, but I didn't have any reason to disagree, so I allowed them to play signboards in the outer city. The Nie family has a close relationship with the empire, and although they did not report it in advance, I do not blame it. ”
Nie Teng saw that Jiang Zhenkui looked fearless, and he was also helpless. He had to take Motoo and the others with him and leave in a huff.
