Or under this night sky, in the Five Spirits Sect, in the courtyard building of Qian Chao.

Naturally, it was impossible for these five people to know what was happening in the cold pool at this time, and they were still very interested in talking at this time, so they simply had a long talk, and listened to Tang Ping say:

"Well, let's stop here first, and there is one more thing I want to tell you, now that the Chengguan Grace Test is approaching, there will be some people in the sect in the next period of time."

"Oh, someone else? Isn't it still the children of those families? Yan Xuan asked.

"No, this time it is not the children of the family who come, but the people sent by the other four sects of the six sects in the world except for Mu Yang Sect."

"What are they doing here? Are you also here to take this Chengguan Grace Test? Lu Pingchuan asked.

"It's also not ......"

"It is said that the disciples of the family who came before have already made the disciples in the sect very dissatisfied, saying that these people are here to rob the disciples of the sect for the opportunity to apprentice, and now that they are coming again, wouldn't it be even more difficult for ordinary disciples to apprentice?" Li Jian said.

"No, although these people will also be on stage at that time, their main purpose is not to come to apprenticeship."

"Since you are on stage for the competition, and it is not for apprenticeship, what is the reason?" Qian Chao asked.

"I only knew that there was a Chengguan Grace test at the beginning, and I only learned about this matter recently, and I heard that it was the first time in the sect, it is said that this kind of thing happens once in a hundred years, and this time we caught up with the ......."

"What the hell is going on?" Yan Xuan asked.

"There are six sects in the world, the powerful ones are Mu Yang Sect and our Five Spirit Sect, and the status of the other four sects is more embarrassing, they are undoubtedly strong compared to those large and small families in the cultivation world, but in front of Mu Yang Sect and Five Spirit Sect, they are not strong enough, ordinary families, such as the Jinghai Tang family I was born in, can completely attach their own families to the Five Spirit Sect, and share weal and woe with our sect, but those four sects are not, and there are still many families that are dependent on them, But in front of such a huge sect as Muyang Sect and Five Spirits Sect, they must have an attitude, so these four sects have chosen a method that is different from those large and small families, they are not attached to the Five Spirits Sect or Muyang Sect, but ...... Submit to. ”

"Surrender?"

"Yes, surrender. It can also be seen as an omission, in short, it is to recognize the status of these two great sects and dare not compete with them, and the specific manifestation of surrender, in addition to the fact that these two major sects help each other when they have something to do, that is, every hundred years to send disciples to the great sects they surrender...... Well...... Give it a try. ”

Seeing that several of his companions were confused, Tang Ping took out a map of Middle-earth and pointed it out to a few companions and continued:

"These four sects did not surrender to the Muyang Sect and the Five Spirit Sect at the same time, and they had never even surrendered to our Five Spirit Sect before. The Five Spirits Sect is located in the south of the Central Continent, the most central part of the Central Continent is basically the Muyang Sect, the west of the Central Continent from south to north is Meng Cailou and the Sky Cliff, of which Meng Cailou and our Five Spirits Sect have a junction. And the Nine Immortals were in the northernmost part of the Central Continent, and their south and east sides were the boundaries of the Muyang Sect, and only the west side had a junction with the Sky Cliff. And there is also a lion forest sandwiched between the Muyang Sect and our Five Spirits Sect to the east. Speaking of these four sects, Meng Cailou and Lion Forest are the closest to our Five Spirits Sect, and it stands to reason that they should have the best relationship with our Five Spirits Sect, but in fact, it is not, almost all of these four smaller big sects have a very good relationship with our Five Spirits Sect, well, as for the specific reason, it is related to the establishment of our Five Spirits Sect, after all, our Five Spirits Sect was founded by the elite of the five major sects at that time during the cross-sea battle after being betrayed, and since then, The Five Spirits Sect is no different from rebellion in their eyes, and for this reason, they have joined forces to invade the Five Spirits Sect many times, but they have been repelled every time. ”

"It is said that at the beginning, the difference in strength between the five sects was not much, but our Five Spirit Sect was not very strong at that time, but after so many years, with the growth and decline of strength between the various major sects, Muyang Sect gradually became the most powerful one among the five major sects, and of course, our Five Spirit Sect is also getting stronger and stronger. Don't look at Meng Cailou and the Lion Forest bordering our Five Spirits Sect, but because they are close to us, they are also the most seriously infiltrated by Muyang Sect, and they have always been hostile to us, and the Sky Cliff and the Nine Plains are far away from us, and they are all bordered by Muyang Sect, and therefore, in the past, these four sects were all subordinated to Mu Yang Sect, and I don't know what Mu Yang Sect let them do, but, once every hundred years, these four sects want to put those in their respective sects who have identity, The nephews of the elders with status are sent to the Muyang Sect, just like hostages, and they must be of extraordinary status, and other ordinary disciples are not, and after they build the foundation, they will either be sent back or stay there to serve. ”

"Of course, it doesn't mean that the four sects will definitely leave as many disciples as they send to Muyang Sect, this involves a competition, it is said that every disciple who is sent to Muyang Sect will have a chance to return to his own sect, that is, to compete on the stage, accept the challenge of the disciples of Mu Yang Sect who have also cultivated, and if you can win two of the three games, you can follow the people from your own sect and return, and there is also a rule, that is, the disciples who have been on the stage within the Muyang Sect cannot take the stage for the second time. It is said that the extremely noble disciples of these four sects, well, like Senior Sister Yanshuang, if she participates in such a competition, Mu Yang Sect will definitely send the most skillful disciple to challenge her, so as to keep her in Mu Yang Sect to contain the Nine Immortals. Of course, later the Nine Immortals and Mu Yang Sect had a bad relationship, and then Mu Yang Sect provoked the relationship between the Sky Cliff and the Nine Plains, and then joined forces with the Sky Cliff to provoke a war against the Nine Plains, and the Nine Plains were damaged one after another, and then they had no choice but to ask our Five Spirits Sect for help, well, what followed was that Senior Sister Yanshuang traveled thousands of miles from the north of Zhongzhou to the south of the Central Continent and became a disciple of our Five Spirits Sect, in fact, if it wasn't for the Nine Immortals and the Mu Yang Sect, Maybe Senior Sister Yanshuang will still be sent to Mu Yang Sect to accept the challenge this year, and if she loses two games, she will have to stay in Mu Yang Sect. ”

"Now, our Five Spirits Sect has formed an alliance with the Nine Eternal Plains, and previously put pressure on the Mu Yang Sect at the border, forcing the Mu Yang Sect to stop in the direction of the Nine Eternal Plains, and the Sky Cliff had no intention of dealing with the Nine Eternal Plains, so that the Nine Eternal Plains were saved, and in this process, our sect and the Mu Yang Sect fought frequently, suppressing the Mu Yang Sect everywhere, and the other four sects all saw the strength of the Five Spirits Sect, and this began to change. Of course, not all of them are willing, such as Jiu Genyuan, this time they completely ignore Mu Yang Sect, and only surrender to the Five Spirits Sect, this time they will send their important disciples to the Five Spirits Sect to accept the challenge, and the remaining three sects have become the wall-riding faction, and the strength of the Sky Cliff is the weakest, and this time both sides have to take care of it, so on the one hand, they sent people to the Muyang Sect, and at the same time sent disciples to the Five Spirit Sect, and the rest of the Lion Forest and Meng Cailou are the same, but they do it differently from the Sky Cliff, The Sky Cliff is interested in repairing the relationship with the Five Spirits Sect, and the Lion Forest and Meng Cailou are because they are too close to the Five Spirits Sect, if not, they are worried that they will be secretly calculated by our sect in the future, so they also sent someone here. ”

After Tang Ping said so much in one breath, she picked up the tea cup on the case to moisten her throat.

Yan Xuan asked:

"So that's the case, then when they arrived in our sect, they really stayed after two defeats, will they also apprentice here?"

"This is not necessarily, it may be the same as Senior Sister Yanshuang, depending on your own facts."

Qian Chao asked:

"Jiu Gen Yuan has a bad relationship with Mu Yang Sect, and he is not sending his disciples over, this is understandable, but if Motian Cliff does this, isn't he afraid that the people of Mu Yang Sect will calculate them halfway?"

"That's for sure, how can Mu Yangzong allow the Sky Cliff to do this, maybe he will intercept them halfway."

……

It was still under this brilliant starry sky without moonlight, in a small valley under the starlight that separated me from the Five Spirits Sect for a long time.

The light of a few bonfires in the forest came out from between the branches and leaves, and then the firelight could also see the shadows in the forest, but at this time the atmosphere in this small valley was extremely tense, with a few sounds of "boom" and "boom", someone's figure flew up through the canopy above the trees, and hung in the air to form a circle, protecting the place where the lights below came out in the center, and all the faces of those people were facing the outside as a vigilant state.

Obviously, during the night, their group seemed to be surrounded by some unknown danger!

There was one man, apparently the leader of the men, who looked around, whispered something to his companion, and then spoke loudly into the boundless night:

"Friends, please!"

As he spoke, the man made a four-way salute and continued:

"In the lower Sky Cliff to stay for liquor, entrusted by the Sky Cliff Sect Master to do things, I don't know what friends I met here, although I am not talented, but there are still some friends in the cultivation world and some meager reputation, I think even if I don't know each other in the next may have heard of it, I don't know if there are friends in the vicinity who are willing to come out to talk about it, so as not to hurt each other's harmony because of misunderstandings......"

Su Qiu Li, Elder of the Sky Cliff Jiedan.

On the way from the Nine Immortals Plain to the Five Spirits Sect, I don't know how many assassinations and interceptions I encountered, and the most dangerous one was the interception launched by Mu Yangzong and the Sky Cliff in the territory of the Five Spirit Sect, the leader of the Mu Yang Sect was a monk named Gui Changfeng, and the leader of the Sky Cliff at that time was this Su Qiu Li.

That time they met Tang Bonian and other five spirit monks who escorted Yanshuang, but Tang Bonian had detected the news in advance, and had already sent someone to send the news to the sect, and specially wrote a letter to Gu Hou Fairy, asking her to help, not for anything else, just because Gu Hou Fairy and Mu Yang Sect's Gui Changfeng had a murderous enmity, and a certain disciple of Gu Hou Fairy, that is, Tang Ping's senior brother died in the hands of Gui Changfeng. With one blow, he killed Gui Changfeng, who was very famous in the cultivation world, avenged his disciples, and at the same time shocked the monks of Mu Yang Sect and Sky Cliff, and the situation was immediately reversed.

And the Su Qiuli of the Sky Cliff, because he had a good personal relationship with Tang Bonian, so Tang Bonian took the initiative to let him leave with the remaining Sky Cliff monks.

And now this Elder Su Qiu Lisu is just like Tang Ping said, taking the disciples with identity in the Sky Cliff to the Five Spirits Sect, and now they are already within the realm of the Five Spirits Sect, the continuous running is tiring, in fact, it is nothing for these Jiedan monks, the key is that the Qi refining disciples they led are already unbearable, so they have to choose this hidden valley and dense forest for a little rest, Unexpectedly, not long after they stopped, they found that the small valley where they were hiding was surrounded by many monks who did not know their identities!

There are not a few other parties, and all of them are cultivators of Jiedan, this place has long been far away from the Sky Cliff, although the other party is unknown, but the intention is obvious, it is aimed at them, in this case, these Sky Cliff monks are nervous one by one.

A somewhat chilly voice came over in the night:

"In Xia Muyang Zonglu Duchu, Brother Su, don't come to harm!"

After hearing the other party's words, Su Qiuli was shocked, and he was really afraid of something.

Since joining forces with Mu Yangzong to deal with the Nine Plains, the progress has been quite smooth, taking the Nine Plains and carving up the land of the Nine Plains can be said to be just around the corner, but I didn't expect the Five Spirits Sect to make a move, and all of a sudden, Mu Yangzong was in chaos, although the Five Spirits Sect did not openly start a war with Mu Yangzong at that time, but it caused unprecedented pressure on Mu Yangzong at the border, and almost all the masters in the sect were exhausted, causing a large-scale invasion at the border, and the Lion Forest and Meng Cailou were also severely warned by the Five Spirits Sect, Let them be alone and not participate, otherwise they will bear the consequences, in this situation, Mu Yangzong can only mobilize strength to compete with the Five Spirits Sect, and therefore, after the Sky Cliff lacks a strong helper, it will not be able to support the Nine Spirits Sect alone, and it will be defeated and retreated by the same enemy of the Nine Spirits, and then Mu Yangzong can only make peace with the Five Spirits Sect under the trade-off, and he will also put the responsibility for provoking this incident to the Sky Cliff.

There is no conflict of interest between the Sky Cliff and the Five Spirits Sect, but the Nine Plains that they have deeply offended have become allies with such a powerful sect as the Five Spirits Sect, Tang Ping said earlier that the strength of the Sky Cliff is ranked last among the six sects in the world, although the strong enemy is no longer in front of him, but the strong enemy is still a strong enemy, and it is a strong enemy that the Sky Cliff can never defeat at least for now, so the Sky Cliff will naturally find a way to change the relationship with the Five Spirit Sect, And Su Qiuli rushed to the Five Spirits Sect with his disciples from noble backgrounds in the sect in order to express the surrender of the Sky Cliff to the Five Spirits Sect.

Because there is no junction between the Sky Cliff and the Five Spirits Sect, if they want to reach the Five Spirits Sect, they will either pass through the realm of Mu Yangzong and enter the realm of the Five Spirits Sect, or pass through the realm of Meng Cailou, and their purpose this time is to show their submission to the Five Spirits Sect, thinking that the Muyang Sect will definitely not allow them to do so, so after thinking about it, Su Qiuli took this group of people to risk passing through the realm of the Muyang Sect, as for the reason, Meng Cailou preferred to capture or kill their group of people to please the Mu Yang Sect, On the contrary, the territory of Mu Yang Sect is extremely wide, and it is easier for them to hide their traces.

As a result, they had just entered the realm of the Five Spirits Sect and were surrounded by the people of the Mu Yang Sect, but in fact, the Mu Yang Sect had already targeted them.

I heard Lu Duchu's somewhat cold voice continue to come:

"Brother Su, we are also old acquaintances, how can you pass through the door and not enter, since you are passing by my Mu Yangzong, why don't you come to have a cup of tea and talk about it, just left in such a hurry, why is it in such a hurry, you don't even say hello, it's not good, besides, I am also very curious, what is Brother Su going to do with these people?"

……

After Yan Xuan listened to Tang Ping's words, he asked again:

"Since Mu Yangzong will intercept them halfway, then ...... Our sect will definitely go to receive them like the last time we protected Senior Sister Yanshuang, but why is Elder Tang still in the sect? ”

Yan Xuan's question made Tang Ping smile, and she said:

"There are so many elders in the sect, how can I let my sixth grandfather go every time, I heard my sixth grandfather say that this time the sect did send people out, but what, our Five Spirit Sect has no intention of completely tearing up the face with Mu Yang Sect, in that case, the two major sects will really become a fire and water, in addition to ensuring the safety of the people in the Nine Immortals, it doesn't matter if the other three sects come or not. As for the other three sects, Lion Forest and Meng Cailou don't need to pay attention to it, they are the most riding on the wall, even if they send someone to the Five Spirits Sect, Mu Yangzong's side will definitely take care of it in advance. Only the Sky Cliff is the most embarrassing and the most dangerous, the former because of the Nine Plains Mu Yang Sect has been frustrated, if the Sky Cliff surrenders to the Five Spirits Sect again, they will definitely not want to, even if the Sky Cliff sends two teams of people at the same time, one team to Mu Yang Sect, one team to the Five Spirit Sect, they will not allow it, this is also the sorrow of the Sky Cliff, they have now made enemies on all sides. Mu Yangzong's plot against the Nine Eternal Plains failed, but then Mu Yangzong might be able to exert his force towards the Sky Cliff and annex that area, after all, the strength of the Sky Cliff is the weakest, so they will definitely not allow the Sky Cliff to have any alliance with the Five Spirit Sect. ”

……

Su Qiuli said in an unabashed voice:

"Since Lu Daoyou led the crowd to chase here, he must know what Su Mou did when he came out this time, so let's not go around the corner, Su Mou was ordered by the sect master of the Sky Cliff to go to the Five Spirits Sect with a few children this time."

In the dark night, through the starlight in the sky, a figure could be vaguely seen slowly flying closer in the darkness, it was Lu Duchu, he continued to say gloomily while flying over:

"In the past, every time this hundred years of dedication, you Sky Cliff has always only gone to our Muyang Sect, I don't know what the rules are for Brother Su to go to the Five Spirits Sect this time?"

"Why do you want to ask knowingly, alas, our Sky Cliff is just a small sect with nothing to show for it, trying to survive in the cracks, and this time our Senior Brother Zhou Yu of Sky Cliff has already taken a lot of children to Muyang Sect to accept the selection, and the Five Spirits Sect, we don't dare to offend, presumably the reason Lu Daoyou naturally knows, so I was ordered to take the following children to the Five Spirits Sect, and I hope that Lu Daoyou will make it convenient and let us go."

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect Skycliff to do things so fairly, and the two major sects are still impartial, I really admire it...... But well...... I won't tell you anything, Brother Su, I came this time to prevent you from going to the Five Spirits Sect, well, let's put it this way, either Brother Su will take someone back the same way, and we will treat it as if we haven't met here at all, or Brother Su will take someone to Muyang Sect with me to join that Zhou Daoist Friends Association, how about it? ”

"If it ......"

"There is no such thing as if! Brother Su, when we meet old friends in a foreign country, we could have met and laughed, but don't make it very ugly, you say...... Right? Lu Duchu said aggressively.

Under the starlight, many black figures appeared one after another, and the boundless killing intent penetrated through the cold night, along with those Qi refining disciples of the Sky Cliff in the dense forest below and around the bonfire, their faces turned pale with nervousness.

……

At the same time, at Qian Chao's residence, Tang Ping continued:

"It is said that this time the Nine Immortals sent to our Five Spirits Sect is an important person of theirs, it seems that the surname is Bai, well, it is the surname Bai, the Nine Immortals Bai Clan, that family has a very important position in the Nine Immortals, it is said that they came to discuss some very important things with our sect, so our sect sent people in advance to escort them all the way to our sect, and I heard that they will escort them all the way back when they leave."

"Nine Bai Clan?"

"Well, the Bai Clan, the Yan Clan, the Bing Clan, and the Ji Clan are considered big families in the Nine Eternal Plains, and together they have more than half of the strength of the Nine Eternal Plains."

……

In the night, in addition to the two sides of Mu Yang Sect and Sky Cliff who were facing each other, there were also people who were also paying attention to the development of their situation.

A middle-aged man in a white robe stood on the top of a small hill with his hands in his hands, looking in the direction of Xiao Gu, who was facing each other nervously, and the voice of the words there was also sent by the night breeze here, and he could hear it clearly.

"Brother Sun, let's ......" The white-robed middle-aged man turned his head to look at an elderly monk beside him, who was dressed as a Five Spirit Sect.

This monk surnamed Sun is Elder Sun of Mu Xiufeng of the Five Spirits Sect, a famous sword cultivator in the cultivation world, well, if you still have an impression, it was this Elder Sun who prevented the Cold Moon Fairy from accepting him as a disciple when Li Jian first entered Mu Xiufeng. And this time, the five spirit monks who escorted the Bai clan of the Nine Immortals were led by this Elder Sun, and it was a coincidence that they walked through the boundary of the Mu Yang Sect after starting from the Nine Immortals, and faintly found the people of the Sky Cliff on the road, they did not grow but quietly followed all the way, and as a result, they also met the Mu Yang Sect who intercepted the Sky Cliff halfway here.

"Hehe, but with Elder Bai in charge, I have explained when I left the sect, and I must do my best to protect Elder Bai and his party along the way, and when we set off, Elder Jiang of our council hall also said that if there is any change on the way back, if it needs to be dealt with on the spot, it is all up to Elder Bai to arrange, and we will obey the order."

The white-robed man was stunned, and immediately bowed solemnly, and then said:

"Then thank you, Brother Sun, the grievances between us and the Sky Cliff are all provoked by Mu Yangzong, what they want to do is nothing more than to drive the tiger and devour the wolf and then reap the benefits of the fisherman, now relying on the power of your sect, we have finally been able to preserve the Nine Immortals, but after all, the Nine Immortals are greatly damaged, and the Heaven Cliff is also greatly injured, now it seems that Mu Yangzong has set his sights on the Sky Cliff again, and the Sky Cliff is also aware of it, so he sent someone to your sect, if the Sky Cliff is weakened again...... For us, for your sect, it's not a good thing after all, although we just had a bad relationship with them, but it's better to save them than to let Mu Yangzong succeed, I don't know what Brother Sun wants? ”

The Elder Sun nodded in approval:

"Elder Bai is really broad-minded and long-term, it's okay, since Elder Bai said so, then let's just send those guys from Mu Yang Sect away!"

"Thank you!"

……

Just when Su Qiuli didn't know whether to do it or what to do, under the starlight in the sky, the silver sword light suddenly shone from a distance, like a meteor falling to the ground, and the exclamations in all directions were chaotic, and even Lu Duchu opposite him looked back in surprise, and for a while, the sound of the clothes breaking the wind came from far and near, and the black shadow of the Dao Dao was flying over quickly, and a vigorous voice sounded on the opposite side in a panic:

"When you meet an old friend in a foreign country, you will have a night of distinguished guests, and you will have a smile! I didn't expect to be able to see the friends of Mu Yangzong and Sky Cliff at the same time in my Five Spirits Realm, and they are all guests from afar, so we must do our best to fulfill the friendship of this landlord! ”
