Now, Qi Shou doesn't need to worry about the problem of crossing the red lotus.

As long as he doesn't reveal it himself, and it doesn't affect his cultivation speed, the Red Lotus of Crossing Sin is in his body, and no one can see it.

In this way, Qi Shou can also cultivate with confidence.

Now, it's up to Zhou Hai City Lord.

……

The next day, it was still early in the morning, and He Changfeng came to the courtyard of Qishoumen.

"Little ghost Qi, the city lord of Zhou Hai just sent someone to inform him, saying that he wants to see the children who have returned from the cold bone village."

So fast?

Qi Shou pretended to be surprised: "Zhou Hai City Lord? In person? ”

"That's right." He Changfeng nodded, "It's a great thing to let the city lord come to see him in person." ”

"You have to seize this opportunity." He Changfeng said seriously.

"Disciple understands." Qi Shou nodded, and then followed He Changfeng all the way to the main hall of the Qingping Sect.

The main hall of the Qingping Sect is located at the top of the Qingping Mountain, which is the place where the sect master and the elders discuss the major affairs of the sect, and no disciple is allowed to step into it at will.

Today, if you want to receive the city lord of Zhou Hai, you are here.

The sect master of the Qingping Sect had not yet left the customs, and the reception was handed over to an elder named Shi Chengbi.

The elder has the strength of the sevenfold qi transformation, and he is the elder in the sect who is second only to the sect master in strength, and he is also the elder with the highest status, and after the sect master retreats, all the affairs of the sect are managed by the elder elder.

Because the city lord of Zhou Hai had already sent someone to inform him in advance, at this time in the main hall, the elders of the Qingping Sect basically came, and there were three people who came back from clearing the bandits.

Qi Shou, Fu Jingnan and Chen Yan.

Chen Yan's injuries have not healed yet, and his face is not very good.

"This visit from the City Lord of Zhou Hai really surprised me." Chu Nian said.

Chu Nian, that is, the elder when he recruited disciples.

"Who's to say it isn't, how many years have it been since the last time I came, twenty years? Thirty years? He Changfeng recalled.

"Since Zhao Zhijing became the city lord, he hasn't been to Qingping Sect much, right?" Another Elder Ma mentioned.

Qi Shou was on the side, and found that several elders seemed to have a lot of complaints about Zhou Hai City Lord.

Although he was curious, as a disciple, he couldn't ask questions at this time.

"City Lord Zhao mentioned in the letter that the task of clearing out the bandits was originally issued by him, and this time there was a problem with the disciples of the sect, and it is understandable that City Lord Zhao came to visit in person." The elder explained, telling everyone not to speculate.

"City Lord Zhao has already arrived at the bottom of the mountain."

Not long after the people arrived, a disciple stepped forward and said.

"Bring the city lord of Zhao up." Shi Chengbi said.

Shi Chengbi had no intention of going down the mountain to pick up the city lord of Zhao.

In Dongzhou, basically all countries coexist with sects and countries, and the relationship between them is also quite complicated.

For example, in Dashun Kingdom, although the status of the city lord is the same as that of the head of each sect, it is actually related to the strength of the sect.

For example, in the Qingping Sect, the sect master of the Qingping Sect has the strength to return to the god realm, while the city lord of Zhou Hai only has the Qi Transformation Realm, so it is impossible for the two to have the same status in the immortal cultivation realm.

In addition to the four major sects of the Great Shun Kingdom, the Qingping Sect is regarded as a first-class sect after it, and it has a certain status in the Great Shun country, has a deep heritage, and does not need to rely on Zhou Haicheng, unlike other small sects.

Although Shi Chengbi is only an acting head, he can't meet Zhou Hai City Lord in person, which will make Qingping Sect lose face.

"Elders, don't come unharmed."

It didn't take long for a few people to come to the main hall of Qingping Sect.

The person at the head was wearing a purple gold unicorn robe, and the appearance was that of a middle-aged man, who came to the main hall of the Qingping Sect, and still looked calm in the face of several Qi Transformation Realm elders.

The disciple who led the way just now had already retreated, and there were two people beside him, dressed in the same attire, all in silver armor robes, wearing a wide knife at their waists, and their appearance was very majestic.

These two people are the personal guards of the city lord of Zhou Hai, and they can't see the specific strength clearly, but their appearance alone is prohibitive.

"City Lord Zhao's visit to my Qingping Sect is really a disappointment." Shi Chengbi saluted the Lord of Zhao City.

"Haha, it doesn't hurt." Zhao Zhijing naturally knew what Shi Chengbi meant, and he also knew why he had this attitude.

Although he was a little unhappy that Shi Chengbi couldn't go down the mountain to pick him up in person, Zhao Zhijing couldn't say anything.

As the city lord, Zhao Zhijing knew that he had an important duty, which was to manage the various sects under him.

For small sects, he can show his official authority, but not for Qingping Sect.

The Qingping Sect is in Zhouhai City, but it is second only to the existence of Wuhua Pavilion, so it is natural to change the attitude towards such a big sect.

What's more, there are more important things to come to Qingping Sect this time.

After a few words of greeting, Zhao Zhijing got to the point: "I am old, I can't hide it, this time I came to Qingping Sect, in fact, I came to make amends." ”

"Why did City Lord Zhao say this?" Shi Chengbi asked.

"What I'm talking about, of course, is the matter of clearing the cold bone village."

"Because the cold bone village is located between the two cities of Zhouhai and Jinnan, it does not belong to the jurisdiction of the two cities."

"Thieves are rampant in that village, with open fire and sticks, and many of the merchants who come and go have been robbed."

"Although I am the lord of a city, I have no right to use troops outside my jurisdiction, so I found the help of the young heroes of the Qingping Sect."

"It's just that I didn't expect that the information I got was wrong, and there was a spiritual realm demon cultivator in that village, which made the disciples of the Qingping Sect miserable."

"I was also very sad when I learned about it."

"Qingping Sect is a first-class sect in Zhou Haicheng, and its disciples are all talented and arrogant, because of my mistakes, I am really ashamed to lose many disciples in the sect."

Zhao Zhijing's tone was sincere, and his voice was full of emotion, which made people couldn't help but be moved.

"The man in charge of gathering intelligence has removed me from my position."

"For those seven sacrificed disciples, I will personally fund the aftermath."

"Moreover, I also prepared two second-grade spirit stones and a fifth-grade Great Rejuvenation Pill for each of the remaining three disciples as compensation."

Immediately, the guards behind him conjured three wooden boxes from their hands and handed them to Qi Shou and the others.

After receiving the gift from the City Lord of Zhou Hai, Fu Jingnan, who was beside Qi Shou, had already shed tears of excitement: "Brother Qi, the City Lord of Zhou Hai is really a virtuous city lord. ”

Chen Yan on the other side was also shocked, but he didn't expect that the city lord of Zhou Hai had prepared a lot of compensation for the three of them.

Two second-level spirit stones, one fifth-grade Great Rejuvenation Pill, and the cultivators of the Spirit Realm may not have such a family background.

"Thank you, City Lord Zhao."

The three of them thanked in unison, but Zhao Zhijing sighed helplessly: "This is all deserved by the three of them, but it's a pity for those sacrificed disciples." ”

"With a Ming lord like the city lord of Zhao, even if it is a sacrifice, he will not give up in the future." Fu Jingnan sighed, and Chen Yan on the side also echoed.

After all, these two are still monks who are new to the world.

After a "heartfelt speech", plus two second-grade spirit stones and a fifth-grade rejuvenation pill, he bought Fu Jingnan and Chen Yan.

Qi Shou didn't say anything from beginning to end, he knew that Zhao Zhijing didn't send anything today.
