677 The situation changes
In just over three months, the situation around the world has become very different.
First of all, the ocean, because there are no human cultivators to compete for the treasures of heaven and earth, those strange beasts and monsters in the sea can have a lot more spiritual fruit treasures than their counterparts on land.
Many alien beasts were already extremely powerful, and after devouring many spiritual materials, they became even more powerful.
Terrifying giant sea monsters and sea demons have appeared on all major oceans around the world.
Many ships passing by sea were destroyed by sea beasts and krakens, and all the crews were reduced to food, and shipping was greatly affected, and countries had to order the suspension of sea voyages.
At the same time, there is no peace on land.
Abroad has become a mess, all kinds of cults have appeared one after another, bewitching the people, and powerful aliens are constantly creating chaos and rebelling against revolution.
The various cultivation forces divided one side, and occupied the land as the king.
The situation at home is not much better.
For some reason, many powerful monsters suddenly appeared in the major famous mountains, and there was a fierce conflict with several major sects and the action group of the Dragon Hall.
After several tragic wars, several sects were directly wiped out, and many famous mountains were also occupied by monsters.
Longtang also suffered an unprecedented blow, losing nearly half of its personnel. In the end, the masters of the Dragon Hall mobilized the army, and with the cooperation of powerful firepower, they were able to maintain the situation and prevent it from collapsing.
After experiencing these wars, the power of cultivators in the country suffered heavy losses and plummeted, attracting the prying eyes of many foreign alien groups.
Those aliens and scattered cultivators in the country who were originally suppressed by the various sects and the Dragon Hall also began to move.
Some evil cultivators who had been suppressed for a long time took advantage of the weakness of Long Tang to start killing people wantonly, refining pills and magic weapons with blood and souls, and doing all kinds of things that anger and resentment.
There are even more powerful monsters wreaking havoc everywhere, bringing a bloody storm.
Although the Longtang, which had suffered heavy losses, expanded its recruitment in time and absorbed a large number of new members from the army and scattered cultivators, it was still overstretched in the face of the chaotic situation throughout the country, and there were many places that could not be taken care of.
Those residents who live in the city are fine, guarded by the army, armed police, and members of the Dragon Hall, and those monsters and evil cultivators don't dare to go too far.
People living in rural and suburban areas are not so lucky, and they are often attacked by various bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and they can lose their lives if they are not careful.
The most unfortunate are those who live near the famous mountains and rivers, and sometimes they are attacked by hordes of youkai, and the entire village is slaughtered, and dozens and hundreds of lives are turned into blood food in the mouths of the youkai.
As a result, many residents of mountain villages have had to move to the city.
For a time, the domestic situation was troubled internally and externally.
The land of China is stormy.
Of course, heroes come out of troubled times.
In this chaotic situation, many powerful masters have also emerged in China, which has caused a heated discussion on the Internet and attracted a large number of fans.
Among them, the seven most powerful masters are known as the Seven Masters of Shenzhou.
In the past few months, Jiang Yi didn't care much about the outside world, just concentrated on his cultivation in the villa, and then pointed out He Lan and Wu Wei's cultivation from time to time.
Sometimes You Suowei and Xiao Chuchu will also come to the door to ask for advice.
Of course, You Suowei is very measured, basically just asking difficult questions about cultivation, and every time he comes to the door, he will not come empty-handed.
……
This morning.
When Jiang Yi was sitting on the balcony and breathing purple gas at the rising sun, he felt that two people had come to the villa.
As soon as his mind moved, he gathered his true qi into the dantian, raised his eyes and looked down, and saw Shen Bing and a middle-aged man in his thirties standing in front of the gate.
The middle-aged man looked elegant and elegant, with an extraordinary bearing, and there was a faint aura of mystery on his body, obviously his cultivation was very high.
Jiang Yi's eyes flashed and he recognized the identity of the other party, it was Qi Yue, the master of the Dragon Hall, who was the kind of character who often appeared in the central news, and was also one of the seven masters.
"Jiang Yi."
Shen Bing looked at Jiang Yi on the balcony and waved his hand to say hello.
Jiang Yi nodded at her slightly, then turned over and jumped off the balcony, opened the door, raised his hand and said:
"Let's talk."
Qi Yue was actually over seventy years old, but because of his profound cultivation, he still looked like an ordinary middle-aged person. He behaved politely, smiled and said:
"Don't be surprised if you take the liberty of coming to the door."
"A master like Hall Master Qi can come, but let me shine here, how can I see strange things."
Jiang Yi said with a smile.
Qi Yue shook his head and said:
"In front of you, no one dares to call it a master."
Jiang Yi invited the two of them to sit down on the sofa in the living room, and then raised his hand to make a move, and the three teacups fell on the table, and after the teapot flew up and poured three cups of tea, he asked straight to the point:
"I don't know what the Qi Hall Master is doing when he comes to visit today?"
"Little Brother Jiang is quick to talk, and I won't go around in circles with you."
Qi Yue looked at Jiang Yi and said in a deep voice with a serious expression:
"I'm here to invite you to join the Dragon Hall."
"I won't hide it from you, the situation in the Dragon Hall is very bad now, and in the previous battles with those monsters, the elites in the hall lost more than half."
"Lu Ye and Chang Mao, who once had a relationship with you, are all dead, and one action group came back alive with Lu Xiaoqian, but they were also seriously injured."
"Longtang urgently needs a master like you to join in and help calm the chaos in the country."
Shen Bing also persuaded:
"Jiang Yi, you are so strong, you should join the Dragon Hall to serve the country and help those suffering people. As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. ”
"Today, the hall master personally came to invite you to join the Dragon Hall, which shows his sincerity, so you agreed."
After a pause, she added: "Moreover, the treatment of Longtang is also very good. ”
Compared with a few months ago, Shen Bing's temperament has also changed a lot, and he looks much more capable, and his originally soft eyes have become sharp.
Jiang Yi once heard Shi Xiaomeng mention that he and Shen Bing's hometown town had another monster trouble and killed hundreds of people, including Shen Bing's mother.
Stimulated by this, Shen Bing took the initiative to apply to join Longtang's action group, and had obviously experienced some battles these days.
After listening to the words of the two, Jiang Yi was silent, in fact, he was not so reluctant to join the Dragon Hall, but he just felt that it was unnecessary.
After a long while, he said noncommittally: "I'm used to being lazy, I'm afraid I can't stand the constraints of all kinds of rules and regulations in the Dragon Hall. ”
Seeing that Jiang Yi did not explicitly refuse, Qi Yue was slightly happy in his heart, and then said in a calm tone:
"You can rest assured of this, in fact, there are a lot fewer rules in the Dragon Hall now, and there are many unnecessary restrictions on it."
"I also know that cultivators like you are free from the outside, so they won't force you to give any orders."
"As long as you join the Dragon Hall, I will grant you the position of deputy hall master, and at the same time give you the same level of authority as me, what do you think?"
As he spoke, he listed a bunch of benefits of the hall master's authority, how many spiritual materials could be withdrawn from the Dragon Hall's inventory every month, and he could freely look through the various exercise books and numerous confidential documents and information in the Dragon Hall......
In order to win over Jiang Yi, Qi Yue also spared no expense.
