Volume 2 Forging Ahead Chapter 2001 The Seven Stars Promise
The words of the city lord of Minyang were selfish, and he wanted to show the evil anger in his chest, but more to earn back his own face, so he spared no effort to lobby other city lords.
At this moment, the city lord of Minyang mentioned resources and things that were directly related to his own future, and several Jindan peak monks were finally moved and compared their own futures, those demon monks who were used as hole cards were actually just chess pieces for them to achieve their goals.
As for when and where this piece will work, it depends on what they mean, like at this moment.
"Hao Daoyou, do you want to come to Daoyou after the Seven Cities Martial Arts this time, and you will probably return to the Tianyan Holy Sect with these disciples, right?" The Minyang City Lord asked in harmony, which made Xuanji City Lord Hao Yan a little surprised, but after all, he was not a mortal enemy, and he was still a bit of a fellow disciple, so there was no need to make too much trouble.
"Yes, according to the edict of the sect, Hao has lived in Xuanji City for a hundred years, and he can be regarded as some achievements. β
"Oh! The old Taoist wants to congratulate Hao Daoyou here, and wish Daoyou a further step, and he will see you again in the future, but I am waiting for my seniors. "The city lord of Minyang is not pretentious in this statement, although he is envious, but the monk eats the weak and the strong, and the one who achieves it comes first.
The other monks also expressed their congratulations, but the matter was not over, and the city lord of Minyang immediately revealed his true face, although it was not extremely hideous, but it was also completely revealed.
"Hao City Lord, you and I are both monks, I think you can understand the hardships of the old way, this past few years, Xuanji City has repeatedly held martial arts events to dominate, this is all the wisdom of the city lord, this is nothing, but I wait for the cities to be struggling, and now it is no longer the past, and now seeing that the city lord Hao is about to step down, but for the younger generations of monks, for the seven city monks, I can only cheekily ask the city lord to make a promise, when he leaves, the strength of the seven cities will be slightly balanced, I am grateful, but in the future, there will be no opportunity to talk with the Hao city lord about the Tao and the law, can not listen to the high opinions, it is a pity for lifeοΌβ
Minyang City has been cultivating for more than 300 years, and it is said that he has already seen through the world, and he should not be so obsessed with power, but there are thousands of people and thousands of sexes, and not everyone will be indifferent to fame and fortune and devote themselves to the Tao.
The Xuanji City Lord smiled indifferently and asked, "Then according to the will of Daoyou, what should I do?" β
After a burst of hearty and wanton laughter, the city lord of Minyang said: "If you want to come to Daoyou to advance, you naturally need to prepare to refine the natal magic weapon, the old Taoist idiot is a few years older, I am afraid that I will not have a chance to cross the threshold in this life, but well! When I was young, I was arrogant, and I had also sent that realm, and naturally I searched for the materials for refining the natal magic weapon through all difficulties." β
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and wiped it lightly on the storage bag on his waist, and cautiously took out a simple wooden box made of spirit wood, on which were complex and mysterious runes, and were inlaid with several spirit stones used to seal the materials in it, and looking at its color and size, it was actually a high-grade spirit stone.
However, the city lord of Minyang did not open the box made of spiritual wood, but continued: "Since the city lord Hao is leaving, presumably this Xuanji City will no longer be protected by Daoyou, in this case, why don't Daoists leave a more challenging environment for the future Xuanji City, instead of letting the latecomers sit back and enjoy its success, thinking that I will wait for the first time to come to Seven Star City and sit on one side, isn't that the case?"
The lord of Minyang City complained a lot, hinting at his purpose, and took out the spiritual materials that could refine the natal magic weapon, but he didn't say anything to give it to Hao Yan, obviously he valued things very much in his heart, but he had to bleed. But there are some things that can't be said clearly, after all, the interests involved in this are not a small number for Jindan and the monks in the foundation building period.
Although the Seven Star City belongs to the rule of the Tianyan Sect, and is already extremely close to its core area, so in countless years, with the continuous development and reproduction, the Tianyan Sect has gone from the initial initial development to the current gradual control, and after the efforts of generations of monks, the Seven Star City has gradually been completely controlled.
However, among them, all the ancient or new monks in the Tianyan Sect need to constantly extract resources and cultivate younger monks, which has given rise to many large and small forces, and the cruelty and bloodshed of the monk world, after experiencing the initial chaos and disorder, are gradually on the right track.
After accepting the responsibility of guarding a city, the first thing the city lords faced was to subdue the original forces, and then they had to compete with other cities for benefits, and in the process, cultivate and select new blood with qualifications, hearts, and loyalty, to feed back to the sect and the supporters behind them.
Now the city lord of Minyang has directly picked out this matter, and it has obviously been recognized by the four city lords, as for the old way of Tianji, he is scheming, and his Tianji line will not participate in it at all, as for the Shaking Light Pavilion, it is also an important line in the sect, and naturally there is no such thing as contention. In the same way, both cities are quick to maintain neutrality, and will not participate in the disputes of the other five cities, only to ensure that the five cities will not have a battle to destroy the city.
Now the situation is that the Xuanji City Lord has been oppressed to the extreme because of the hundred years of the past hundred years, so he simply unites at this time to take this opportunity to balance the forces to the point of equal strength, if the Xuanji City Lord does not agree, he is afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future, but if he agrees, it is obviously suspected of indulgence.
Without waiting for the Xuanji City Lord to think clearly, the City Lord of Minyang continued: "Of course, we will naturally compensate for the losses that the City Lord Hao may suffer because of this, but whether this can be obtained or not will ultimately depend on the real chapter under our hands." β
After that, the other three city lords also took out the exquisitely preserved jade boxes, or spirit wood boxes, and directly arranged them in a row, leaving the Xuanji city lord to make a choice.
Hao Yan's expression was slightly gloomy, this kind of practice can be said to be forcing the palace, and the four cities jointly trample on the rules, but how can there be immutable rules in the monk world, even if the Shaking Light Pavilion Lord who is on the side of his heart is not able to go to war directly because of the requirements of the four city lords, after all, the other party is also a kind of temptation, and the reason why the Xuanji City Lord has been allowing the four cities to secretly plot is not a helpless compromise.
Now that the four city lords are putting sincerity in front of him, this is to make him make a choice, whether to agree to their proposal and return the four cities to the same place, or to insist on going his own way and causing turmoil.
With a dumb smile, Hao Yan, the lord of Xuanji City, asked: "Why do you want to do this, fellow Daoists! There has also been a precedent for such a thing, and it is impossible for Hao to do something that will damage the overall situation of the Seven Cities, but since you want to return to the original point, should you Daoist friends make an oath of divine souls!"
"What?"
Xuanji City Lord Hao Yan was shocked, he didn't look at the four treasures at all, but he said something that everyone didn't expect. The so-called oath of the divine soul is not the blood oath that Zhou Hao made with Mu Yuchen before, it looks quite bluffing, in fact, if the Xuanji City Lord does not come forward at that time, it is likely that Zhou Hao will be directly retaliated against by the Jindan peak monk of Minyang City.
The oath of the divine soul is a method used by the monks who want to make a joint agreement with each other after the opening of the Purple Mansion and the initial manifestation of the divine soul, but lack trust between each other, or no effective supervision.
With the soul of the monk who signed the contract as the guide, the natal spiritual blood as the medium, and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth as the basis for making a joint oath, once a monk violates the oath he made, just the backlash of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, let you cultivate, the secret art is in vain, and the backlash will definitely make life worse than death.
Therefore, the four of them, including the Lord of the Shaking Light Pavilion, were all shocked. The city lord of Minyang was incredulous, and opened his mouth to refute, but finally squeezed out a sentence with some dryness: "City Lord Hao, this, can this be discussed...... No, it's okay not to stand. β
A dignified Jindan peak monk, speaking but expecting Ai Ai, it can be seen how strict this oath of the divine soul is, and the other three are also extremely embarrassed, and their hearts are obviously extremely bitter, this is like two parties with equal strength in the game, that is, they want to get benefits, but they don't want to have too much damage themselves, and you can make a price all over the sky, and the opponent can sit on the ground and pay back.
The difference between monks is that they follow the law, no monk can talk nonsense, like before the foundation building period, once the golden pill is formed, it is equivalent to being recognized by the avenue of heaven and earth, and every word and deed needs to be in line with the way of heaven and earth, which is related to their own luck and whether heaven and earth agree, so no monk goes to try the Tao.
After hearing this, Hao Yan, the lord of Xuanji City, his expression became solemn, and he sneered, "Heh! What a plan for the younger generations, for the sake of fairness, dare to ask all Taoist friends, if there is no contract oath, it is okay for Hao to go, but the new city lord must have qualifications, cultivation, and means to be exercised, and to compete with you, isn't it to seek skin with the tiger, or rather, you Taoist friends are really thinking that before the new city lord grows up, completely split and engulf Xuanji City, causing greater turmoil?"
Boom, a wave of shame and anger was driven by the surging spiritual power, stirring up a wave of turbulence, and the four city lords were all Jindan peak monks, and they were so severely reprimanded in front of them, and they instinctively broke out in dissatisfaction. However, the Xuanji City Lord just gently waved his spacious sleeves, and the four awe-inspiring fierce auras were dissipated.
The old Dao of Tianji City also waved his hand to dispel the overflowing spiritual power surge, and hurriedly dissuaded: "A few Taoist friends are slow and slow, and after more than 100 years of friendship, everything is easy to discuss." β
The old man said goodbye to the kind eyes and the kind eyes of the fairy wind and bones on weekdays, but the people present, no one dared to underestimate this, and his words should be carefully considered, even if Hao Yan, the lord of Xuanji City, took half a step to get a glimpse of the wonder of the Yuanying, he had to carry out the gift of the younger generation. Just because this old way has reigned longer than any other city lord, some people even suspect that they are strange, but their identities alone do not seem to be enough to understand the secrets.
The city lord of Minyang was helpless and wanted to continue arguing, but was stopped by others, and the Tianshu city lord, who had never spoken, spoke: "City Lord Hao, since you and I have our own demands, why don't you let the senior of Tianji and the senior sister of Shaoguang testify, as for the contract of the divine soul, it is okay, we will agree." β
A storm was finally traded by several Jindan monks and disappeared invisibly, but the storm did not stop there, and the turbulence in the shadows caused waves among the foundation monks.
