Chapter 169: The Xu Family's Stronghold

Xu Xiao, who was walking in the middle of the crowd, looked ahead with deep eyes.

For others, it's just a big comparison, but for yourself, it's a big deal.

More than just a chance to prove yourself.

Xu Xiao recalled what Xu Qi said to himself in his house a week ago.

"Brother, you must not tell anyone else what your brother says next."

"What? Brother, you say."

"You promise me first."

"I promise you."

"This time, the venue of the big competition is at Xu's house."

Xu Xiao's eyes widened and he looked at Xu Qi.

"Well, how do you know?"

"Shhhh Xu Qibi made a silent gesture, signaling Xu Xiao to shut his mouth, then walked to the door of the house, looked left and right, and then closed the door, no longer speaking, but transmitted: "This matter was told to me by our Xu family elders not long ago, they made a deal with Momoyama, and they will use the Linglong Pagoda as one of the trial locations, as for the venue of the disciples of what realm, I don't know for the time being, but if one of our two brothers can be chosen, then you have to listen well, once you enter the Linglong Pagoda—"

Just as Xu Xiao was recalling, he suddenly felt that he was being pulled violently, and then he heard an anxious voice.

"Xu Xiao! Xu Xiao?"

"Huh?" Xu Xiao came back to his senses and saw that his partner on the side was dragging him with one hand.

"Huh? Zhang Hui, what's wrong?" Xu Xiao looked at Zhang Hui.

"Phew, I thought you weren't conscious and unconscious." Zhang Hui breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Xu Xiao, pointed in front of Xu Xiao and said, "Look where you are, if you take another step forward, you will fall!"

Xu Xiao fixed his eyes and saw that one of his feet had already stepped into the air, and there was an invisible cliff in front of him, and when he turned his head, the group was walking on a narrow path, and the road was getting narrower and narrower.

And he was distracted before, thinking about himself, and didn't notice his feet, if it wasn't for Zhang Hui on the side, he estimated that he would have made a joke again.

Xu Xiao hurriedly thanked, "Thank you, Brother Zhang."

"It's okay, but you have to be careful, are you really okay in this state?"

"It's okay, thank you Brother Zhang for your concern."

"You're fine." Zhang Hui let go of his hand, "Then I'm going to go forward, listen to the elder, walk through this path, and we will arrive at Xu's house."

"Oh, yes." Zhang Hui suddenly thought of something, "Xu Xiao, aren't you from the Xu family, why are you not familiar with this road, and you will almost fall down."

Xu Xiao smiled reluctantly.

"Maybe I'm a little distracted." "Okay."

Zhang Hui no longer paid attention, but followed the large army in front.

Of course, Xu Xiao knows this road, and at the end of the road, is the Xu family.

The Xu family said that it was neither big nor small, it was not a city, and it didn't even have a city wall, it was only blocked by a moat.

And the clansmen of the Xu family, counting the foreign population, except for the disciples who went out, are basically in the front.

Wei Changming walked behind, looking at the destination he was about to arrive, and couldn't help but sigh that the big family's handwriting was really big.

This moat absolutely blocked the arrival of most outsiders, and I also understood how difficult it was for Xu Ziyu to say that the Huayue Sect was located in a busy city.

After a while, everyone came to the end of the road, and Elder Li at the front stopped, and the people behind him naturally stopped.

In front of Elder Li, several guards stopped her.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are from Momoyama, and we have been invited by your family master to complete the trial." Elder Li spoke, and then handed over a customs clearance document to the guard.

The guard took it and looked at the crowd behind Elder Li.

"Wait a minute, I'll make sure."

Elder Li nodded, "Okay."

The guards then took the paperwork and hurried to the rear.

In less than half an hour, the guard returned to the door with the paperwork, followed by a middle-aged man.

"Release!" As soon as the middle-aged man spoke, the guards at the end of the road stepped aside.

"Elder Li, I didn't expect you to personally lead the team, it really honors the Xu family."

"Where." Elder Li smiled, "We also want to thank the Xu family for their selflessness and willingness to open the secret realm to the Taoshan disciples."

"Okay, I won't say much about the polite words below, without further ado, while the sky is not completely dark, please come with me."

"Okay." Elder Li replied, then looked at the disciples behind him, "You follow."

"Yes." Then Momoyama and his party continued to move forward in a mighty way.

Wei Changming was originally enjoying the scenery on both sides of the road.

On one side of the mountain road is a cliff and mist; On the other side of the mountain road is a valley, bottomless and empty.

"Huh? What is this?" Vaguely, Wei Changming looked at a ravine, and suddenly found that there seemed to be a few black dots moving, just as Wei Changming was about to take a closer look.

"Senior brother, don't look at it, go in." A disciple beside him kindly patted Wei Changming's shoulder.

"Don't mistake Dabi, it's not too late to come back and see the scenery."

Wei Changming turned his head and saw the crowd in front of him move, and thanked his senior brother.

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for reminding me."

Wei Changming stood up, and when he looked at it again, he found that the black dot had disappeared.

Wei Changming rubbed his eyes.

"I guess I'm a little tired after walking for too long, so look at the flowers."

Then he didn't think much about it, followed the crowd, and walked into Xu's house.

······

The Taoshan disciples entered the Xu family's stronghold one after another.

At the door of Xu's house, not far away, several families heard the movement outside the house, and when they came out to take a look, they saw many cultivators wearing the same clothes and walking in.

One of the women whispered to the neighbor on the side, "Which sect is this, it doesn't look like it's from our Xu family?"

"I don't know? Is there something going on with the Xu family?" The woman next to her replied.

"Whatever, old woman, you better think about what we're going to eat at night!" At this time, a middle-aged man came out of the house and said, "They have nothing to do with us, so it would be nice to do their own thing."

"You know, what are you going to do but talk about it? Maybe they're here to share the Xu family's resources?" The woman looked at her friend dissatisfied, "Are you helping with the laundry and cooking, or are you helping with the children?" The woman pointed to the middle-aged man's nose, spittle and stars, and continued, "Let me tell you, Lao Li Tou, our child can enter the Xu family city to cultivate, it all depends on the old lady and me to take him with hard work, and then send him to the Xu family for trial, our children are also angry, unlike you!" What else can you do all day but drink and gamble?"

The middle-aged man hurriedly fled some distance.

"Okay, okay, I can't say you, my brother is looking for me to drink, so I'll leave first."

The more she spoke, the more angry she became, "Don't run, if you go out of this door, don't come back at night!"

But when he said this, the man was long gone.

"Everyone, you see, ahead is our Xu family city, where the disciples of the Xu family who can cultivate live in it, while the rest of the disciples and the people who depend on the Xu family live on the periphery, which is where we are staying now."

While the leading Xu family elder was talking, he came to another pass, and after the gatekeeper disciple of the pass saw the leading elder, he stepped aside and saluted.

"Elder Tang."

"Well, it's hard work, I'm followed by the Momoyama brothers and sisters who came to participate in the big competition." Elder Tang nodded and explained.

"Understood."

"Everyone, please." Elder Tang looked at the Taoshan disciple.

"Okay." The Taoshan disciples walked in and looked at the buildings in the inner city, and several disciples couldn't help but let out a sound of admiration.

Compared with the ordinary houses on the periphery, more ordinary people live, and the buildings in Xujiacheng are a different scene.

The timber resources of the city are abundant, the surrounding mountains are densely forested, the tree species are diverse, the bamboo forests that can be seen everywhere not only grow in the mountains and forests, but also connect with the houses, the practitioners learn from each other, very harmonious, and several disciples close to the pass, when they saw the people of Momoyama, they also stopped their movements and looked at the past curiously.

Elder Tang pointed to a spire in the distance and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the direction my hand is pointing in is the location of this big competition, the Linglong Pagoda."

The people of Momoyama looked at it, and on a raised high ground, a tall tower was built there, and counting carefully, the Linglong Tower did have nine floors, and many people had gathered under the tower at this time.

"Alright, guys, hurry up, let's get over."

Under the Linglong Tower, another elder of the Xu family was shouting to everyone.

"Everyone, today is the day of the Momoyama Dabi, soon the Momoyama disciples who practice qi and build the foundation will come over, you must not embarrass our Xu family, this is not only an opportunity for the Momoyama disciples, but also your opportunity. The head of the family said that as long as you climb to a higher level, in addition to enjoying the resource distribution of Taoshan, the Xu family will also reward you with additional resources, have you heard?"

"I hear you!" Under the Linglong Pagoda, the young disciples of the Xu family were all excited.

"This is not a small pressure on us, if the Xu family occupies the first place, then my face as an elder will not be able to hang up." Not far away, Elder Li's voice came, and he said jokingly.

"Then it depends on the true skills of the disciples." Under the Linglong Tower, the elders of the Xu family heard the voice and understood that everyone in Taoshan had arrived.

After a while, the disciples of both sides came to the bottom of the tower, and when they looked closely, the number of people was equal, about fifty, and the tense atmosphere suddenly appeared.

"Okay, now that we're all here, let's officially start Dabi?" Elder Xu asked for Elder Momoyama Li's opinion.

Elder Li nodded.

"Good! In that case, the Linglong Pagoda, which has reached a period of ten years, is open again today!" The elder of the Xu family said in a deep voice, "Linglong Pagoda, open!"

Under the tower, several guards and disciples jointly exerted their spiritual power, standing at the eyes of several phalanxes to cast spells.

Suddenly, the Linglong Pagoda emitted several rays of light, and as the light shone, the light became more and more dazzling, enveloping everyone in an instant.

In an instant, everyone hurriedly closed their eyes, and after a while, the light dissipated, Linglong Pagoda regained its calm, and everyone opened their eyes again.
