Master, why did we choose to stay in the Fang City in this part of Dongping?"

Every market has owners.

And these owners are often the managers and protectors of the market.

Usually.

These fangs are either highly respected people elected by scattered cultivators, or they are white gloves of large sects.

Fang City at the Dongping Junction is no exception.

It's just that the Fang City of Dongpingfang City is a loose repair.

A scattered cultivation of the Jindan realm.

The other party is already thousands of years old, and maybe he may stop at the Jindan Realm in this life.

A lot of the time.

This casual cultivator rarely appears in front of people, and is in retreat all year round, and he will not easily leave the customs if he has nothing important.

As for the management of Fang City, it was directly handed over to the council formed by a group of loose cultivators, and it was like a hands-off shopkeeper for convenience.

But there is a Jindan realm monk in charge.

Ordinary casual cultivators naturally don't dare to make trouble, and the big sects don't look down on it, so there is no need for the small sects to provoke.

This time is different.

In the face of the arrival of representatives of various sects.

The owners who have been living in seclusion all came forward to greet them in person, for fear of neglecting these high-ranking representatives of the big sects.

When the Sect decided to stay in Dongpingfang City.

Tong Baili, who was following the team, couldn't help but feel anxious and took the initiative to ask his master Zhou Lu for the reason.

After all, he already knew who he was as a decoy.

The slightest stir can easily stimulate his sensitive nerves.

"Because...... According to the clues that the various sects currently have, it is very likely that the other party has passed through the Dongping Junction area, and Dongpingfang City is the only gathering place for monks in the surrounding area, so Baili, you should know what it means to be a teacher, right?"

Zhou Lu was silent for a moment.

“...... The disciple got it. ”

Tong Baili said with a heavy heart.

This is the sects leading the serpent out of the hole.

Since the various sects released the news that Tong Baili followed him to Cangyuan Sect.

But each other has been calm in the process of hurrying.

It was as if Xia Fan had never heard of this.

So.

The sects seem to have decided to step up.

Spread the word as widely as possible.

And Dongpingfang City, where Xia Fan once passed, is a suitable place.

"Master, since it is possible that the other party has passed through Dongpingfang City, don't the monks in Fang City know anything about it?"

Long.

Tong Baili, who had rectified his mood, said slowly.

"Baili, do you think that if the other party wants to hide himself, who of these monks in Dongpingfang City will be able to find him?"

Zhou Lu shook his head and said.

"In fact, our people have been carefully investigating in Dongpingfang City a long time ago, and the result is still nothing. ”

“...... Master, do you think the other party will be hiding in Dongpingfang City now?"

Tong Baili suddenly asked for no reason.

“...... Baili, what you said is indeed possible, in fact, the teacher very much hopes that he is now hiding in Dongpingfang City, but this possibility is too small. ”

Zhou Lu sighed lightly.

"Okay Baili, don't think nonsense, this time the sects have already formulated a perfect strategy, as long as he dares to appear, we will definitely let him have no return!"

“...... Yes, Master. ”

on this.

Tong Baili didn't say anything more.

Because the sects did not hide their coming.

For a while, the entire Fang City was already boiling, and they all guessed the intentions of each sect.

It is nothing more than that there is no need for the sects to stay in the small Dongpingfang City, compared to other large-scale Fang Cities, these Dongpingfang Cities, which are mainly composed of scattered cultivation, are like rural places.

In the eyes of ordinary casual cultivators.

There is no doubt that each sect is a high-ranking existence.

It's hard not to think they'll be there in Dongpingfang City.

"Is he the only one Yuan Infant Realm cultivator?"

Xia Fan, who was hiding in the crowd and silently paying attention to the people from various sects, discovered the strangeness at the first time.

Yes.

This time, the leader of the representatives of each sect was only one Yuanying Realm monk, and the rest were Jindan Realm monks.

And he was still a little impressed by this Yuan Infant Realm cultivator.

Because the other party is the cowardly monk who appeared in the col in the first place.

Without even saying hello, he turned around and left.

This is the case.

Xia Fan carefully weighed his strength.

If you confirm that there is no ambush around.

He was very sure that he would kill Tong Baili on the spot and then drift away, so he couldn't help but be a little nervous.

But he soon suppressed the urge.

Ambush.

It's often in unexpected places.

What's more, the monk also has all kinds of incredible magical powers and magic weapons.

In case someone suddenly comes up with a big summoning spell at the moment of his appearance.

At that time, it will be Xia Fan who will be dumbfounded.

The so-called careful sailing of the ship of ten thousand years.

Out of this concern, Xia Fan decided to continue to wait and see.

Said to be a stay.

Each sect is really a stay.

They spent less than a cup of tea in the chamber of Fang City.

Except for the representatives of the sects and the owners, no one knew what they said to each other, and then Zhou Lu led the people to leave decisively.

Xia Fan was not in a hurry to chase Zhou Lu and the others.

Anyway, he knew the other party's destination.

Morning and evening are all the same.

Meanwhile.

A large boat flying at high speed in the sky with a silver glow.

"It seems that he is indeed not in Dongpingfang City. ”

In a quiet room inside the boat.

Zhou Lu, who was sitting on the futon, said with a little regret.

"Maybe maybe he sensed something was wrong......

Tong Baili pursed his lips and said.

"If that's the case, we'll be helpless, after all...... A martial artist is not so easy to calculate and deal with. ”

Zhou Lu sighed lightly.

"Master, what should we do next?"

Tong Baili said worriedly.

"Baili, after returning from Cangyuan Sect this time, you can retreat in the door with peace of mind. ”

Zhou Lu said in a deep voice.

"But the sects are ...... over there"

Tong Baili hesitated.

"Don't worry, when the time comes, the teacher will help you to divide it, this time you will be the bait as the teacher, and you will not be able to stop it, if the other party has not appeared, it means that the bait tactics of each sect have failed, and the teacher has a reason to help you get out. ”

Zhou Lu said with a solemn expression.

"Thank you, Master, for your kindness. ”

Hearing this, Tong Baili was busy kneeling in the tunnel.

"Get up. ”

Zhou Lu waved his hand and helped Tong Baili Dao up.

"That being said, you can't take it lightly during this time, because neither of us knows when the other will make a move. ”

"Yes! The disciple will definitely take Master's advice to heart. ”

Tong Baili said with a serious expression.

"It's a pity. ”

After Tong Baili exited the ashram.

A sigh from Zhou Lu sounded in the quiet room again.

If Xia Fan really appeared in Dongpingfang City today.

Zhou Lu did have a way to summon the Daoist friends who were thousands of miles away at the first time.

Although the price is very high.

But the sects didn't care at all.

They only cared if they could succeed in killing Xia Fan.

Xia Fan Xia Fan.

This name is about to become their inner demon.

Xia Fan will not die for a day, and they will all live in fear and fear.

After all, barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes.

For Xia Fan, who has no sect and is an outsider.

There seems to be nothing in this world that can restrain him.

If you think about it.

The Nether may be Xia Fan's only weakness.

However, at the moment, if you want to repair the Root Gate, you don't know how much time and resources it will take, not to mention that Xia Fan also blatantly declares that he will not let go of any sect that dares to lay down the idea of the realm.

And so it goes.

How dare those sects that lack the strength to provoke and offend each other.

Even if the sects re-form the alliance.

I'm afraid there won't be many responders by then.

Even if there is no threat from Xia Fan.

In the face of the difficult bone of the Nether, will the sects be sure that they will be able to gnaw it down?

Due to the difference in the speed of time flow between the two realms.

Drag it out for three or five years.

Who knows how much the Nether has strengthened.

About two days later.

Zhou Lu and other representatives of various sects came to Cangyuan Sect smoothly.

Due to the relationship that has been notified in advance.

Naturally, they were received with the highest standards.

Even if Cang Yuanzong knew that these people were actually coming to Xingshi to ask for guilt under the banner of communication, the etiquette and demeanor of the sect should be displayed.

The receptionist is an old acquaintance of Tong Baili.

Autumn Forest.

From the moment they entered the Cangyuan Sect Mountain Gate, Qiu Zhenlin was difficult to find fault with in dealing with people, and he didn't have the same impatient temperament as before.

"Senior, please, the ancestor has been waiting for you for a long time. ”

The real person in charge of this exchange is Zhou Lu.

He is also the only one who is qualified to talk to Cang Yuanzong on an equal footing.

When everything is in place.

Qiu Zhenlin appeared directly in front of Zhou Lu and said.

"Which one of your ancestors is from your Cangyuan Sect?"

Zhou Lu immediately said bluntly when he heard this.

"Looking back at the seniors, the ancestor referred to by the younger generation is Xiao Changning's ancestor. ”

Qiu Zhenlin said truthfully.

"Xiao Changning, Xiao Daoyou, he is finally out of the customs?"

Smell the name.

Zhou Lu couldn't help but be slightly moved.

Because Xiao Changning can be described as an unborn genius of Cangyuan Sect.

From his childhood worship to the Cangyuan Sect to his becoming a Yuan Infant Monk, it only took less than five hundred years.

The other party is not only a genius in cultivation, but even has an extremely high level in terms of pill refining and other aspects.

And everyone who has been in contact with Xiao Changning has a deep impression of him.

All the time.

Zhou Lu only heard his name but did not see his person.

Yes.

Zhou Lu had never seen Xiao Changning.

It's nothing more than that Xiao Changning has been in retreat and cultivation in the door all the year round, and rarely goes out to communicate with others, and even except for his lineage, the disciples of other lineages have rarely seen Xiao Changning.

He is not mysterious.

But it always feels very mysterious.

Moment.

Under the leadership of Qiu Zhenlin.

Zhou Lu came to a cave.

Send it here.

Qiu Zhenlin retired and left, leaving Zhou Lu alone.

"Poor Dao Xuantianmen Zhou Lu has seen Xiao Daoyou. ”

The gate of the cave is open.

After Qiu Zhenlin left, he walked in directly.

Soon.

He saw Xiao Changning sitting on a futon with his eyes closed in the cave that exuded a faint fragrance.

This is a young man wearing a moon-white robe with a fair and handsome face.

When Zhou Lu spoke.

Xiao Changning couldn't help but slowly open his eyes with a smile.

"Xiao Changning has seen Zhou Daoyou, please come here. ”

After speaking.

Xiao Changning pointed to the futon on the side.

"Then the poor way is disrespectful. ”

Zhou Lu was not polite to Xiao Changning, and sat directly on the futon that the other party pointed to.

"I already know Zhou Daoyou's intentions, and the sect has given me full authority to deal with this matter. ”

Zhou Lu just sat down.

Xiao Changning slowly and methodically got to the point.

"I know that all sect friends want our Cangyuan Sect to give an explanation, here I apologize to you on behalf of Cangyuan Sect, because we do have some selfish intentions in this matter, but ......"

Facing Xiao Changning, who took the lead, the rhythm of the conversation was in Xiao Changning's hands.

What's more, Xiao Changning came up and admitted his mistake with interest, which made it difficult for Zhou Lu to continue to ask the guilt, and as Xiao Changning's words changed, Zhou Lu's attention shifted.

"Just what?"

"It's just that we have neglected you because of some more important things. ”

Xiao Changning said in a calm tone.

"What's more important?"

Zhou Lu frowned and asked.

"Fellow Daoist, please take a look. ”

Xiao Changning didn't say a word.

Suddenly, an extra jade appeared in his hand and was simply thrown towards Zhou Lu.

Zhou Lu took the jade slip.

After scanning the contents of the jade slip through the spiritual sense.

His face changed instantly.

"Xiao Daoyou, is the content on the jade slip true?"

"Of course, otherwise do you fellow Daoists think that I am really watching your excitement during this time?"

Xiao Changning said indifferently.

"Why didn't you Cangyuan Sect notify us of such a major event as soon as possible?"

Zhou Lu said in a deep voice.

"It's not that we don't want to inform you, but we haven't been able to confirm the authenticity of this matter for a long time, and we haven't really confirmed it until recently. ”

Xiao Changning said softly.

“......”

Zhou Lu was silent for a moment.

"We'll think about it later, but right now we have a bigger problem to face. ”

"Do you mean that extraterritorial person named Xia Fan?"

Xiao Changning smiled slightly.

"That's right!" Zhou Lu said with a serious expression. "Now that we have formed a mortal enmity with him, and he has successfully stepped into the human fairy realm of martial artists, you and I both know what kind of threat an unrestrained human immortal martial artist has, if we can't get rid of him, we will not be able to sleep well......"

"Don't hide it, in fact, I have come into contact with this person through the Nether Realm, and I know him better than you. ”

There was an indescribable meaning in Xiao Changning's smile.

"This is a wonderful man, in fact, it is very easy for you to reconcile with him, but you have to pay a price. ”

“...... At what cost?"

Zhou Lu looked at Xiao Changning with a suspicious expression.

"Give up the invasion of the Nether, hand over Tong Baili, and at the same time collectively extend the most sincere and solemn apologies to him. ”

Xiao Changning understated.

"No way!"

Zhou Lu listened.

Instantly, he said angrily.

"Just an outsider immortal, how can He De let me wait to apologize in such a low voice! This is simply wishful thinking, once this happens, what will your fellow Daoists think of us in the future?!"

"It's just a little suggestion of mine, and it's up to you to listen to it or not. ”

Xiao Changning said disapprerovitically.
