The pattern of "nine heavens and ten earths" in the world of cultivating immortals in the world has actually taken shape in the past five hundred years. If there is a dividing line, it has to start with the loss of the Demon Suppression Tower of the Shushan faction.

Since the Shushan faction lost its Zhenshan artifact and lost its strongest support, its status has gradually declined. The position of the first immortal gate in the world is naturally vacant.

At that time, there were two most powerful contenders, one was the overseas Penglai Sect, and the other was the Celestial Star Divine Sect outside the three sects.

Penglai Shangzong has been operating overseas for many years, with an ancient Taoist system, strong heritage and rich resources; The Celestial Star Divine Cult is a behemoth that is independent of the three sects, and can even be called the fourth sect at its peak, inheriting a unique Celestial Star Magic, which can be good or evil, and has a wide variety of categories.

In order to compete for the position of the leader of the righteous path at that time, both of them made a big expansion, and both wanted to enhance their strength in the short term as much as possible and overpower each other.

In fact, although there are few people with practitioner qualifications, they are not so rare. The reason why the major immortal sects have always maintained a small scale is mainly because of resource limitations, no matter how many disciples you recruit, it is meaningless if you don't have enough resources to cultivate.

And the expansion war between the two is still equal in the short term, and the time that drags on is a little longer, and the disadvantages of the Heavenly Star Sect are reflected.

Penglai Shangzong is rooted overseas, and the reserves of natural materials and earth treasures are abundant, and there is nothing to consume for a period of time.

The Heavenly Star Sect did not have such abundant immortal cultivation resources, and in less than a hundred years, the competition within the sect immediately became fierce. Moreover, the different inheritances in the Heavenly Star Sect were already clearly distinguished, and the cohesion was not strong, and the Heavenly Star Sect of that generation did not have absolute control.

This led to the behemoth-like Celestial Star Divine Sect actually falling apart without a single soldier from the outside world.

Just by looking at the sects after the split of the Celestial Star Divine Sect, one can imagine how terrifying it was at the beginning.

Tianshu Pavilion, one of the nine heavens today, has a special status; Heavenly King Sect, one of the nine heavens today; Sea King Sect, one of the ten places today; The Hades Sect, the current leader of the Demon Dao, also fell into the Demon Dao after the split of the Heavenly Star God Sect.

In addition to these big sects, there are also some scattered small inheritances, both good and evil.

For example, in the early years, there were also some small splashes of Chang Gung faction...... The Glowing Confusion Sect that almost caused trouble in the world back then...... Some of the secret inheritances that are also more inclined to the Demon Dao, Seven Kills, Broken Army, and Greedy Wolf......

Some of these inheritances are still active on the stage of the immortal cultivation world, and some have been annihilated in the long river of history, but I don't know which day, some waves will be stirred up again.

……

"Welcome all the nobles of Nanguan City to come, let my little villa shine, hahaha, today's banquet but there is something dissatisfied, although it is rectified with the contemptible."

With a smile on his face, Master Li Zhuang stood on a one-step high platform and greeted the brightly dressed dignitaries in front of him.

Today is a warm-up banquet that Xue Lingxue held before her tour in Nanguan City, and all the people who attended were celebrities in the city, either rich or expensive. There are more than a dozen tables of banquets in the spacious lobby, and there are not many people arranged for each seat, and the open space between the venues is very large, which seems to be convenient for the banquet to start for a while, and everyone walks around to toast and socialize.

Once this kind of feast is opened, in fact, no matter what its name is, it will quickly depart from its purpose and become a carnival of human relations.

Chu Liang and Lin Bei looked left and right, only to be a little puzzled.

Because they sat closest to the stage, they were the chief of this banquet, and the name on the table still had Xue Lingxue. Although she will not sit here for long, it also shows the gold content here.

The few next to them are the most prestigious and high-ranking court officials in Nanguan City, although they can't name them, but looking at the respectful attitude of the people around them, they can also get a glimpse or two.

If it is for the name of Shushan, there is no problem in arranging such a seat. But the problem is that the two of them can't represent Shushan at all, and the task of Shushan has been completed. They are just two young people rubbing the situation to watch the performance, who knows how to get to the center of the stage?

Chu Liang also went to Steward Cui and asked in a whisper, "Why did you arrange us to such a front seat, how embarrassing is this?" ”

"But this is what Miss Xue requested." Steward Cui smiled, "Originally, I didn't arrange the seats like this, but since Miss Xue said this, it's not good not to listen." ”

Chu Liang was slightly puzzled, but it was too late to change, so he had to sit down peacefully.

When he went to ask, Lin Bei had already drunk with the two middle-aged people next to him, "Uncle Zhang, what kind of official are you?" Guarding the General? Hey, you're in charge of the entire city's military strength, that's okay. ”

"Lao Chen, are you ...... The chief of the city? Is that you, the chief officer, or the town guard general? ”

"Hey, hey, who am I? I'm Lin Bei......"

Chu Liang smiled bitterly, this guy's social skills were really terrifying. Unless you go out and tie him a leash, you can talk to someone in the blink of an eye.

As he was talking, he heard a voice outside the door shouting, "The little marquis of the Dingshan Marquis Mansion has arrived-"

When everyone's eyes gathered, they saw a glorious young man walking in, followed by a tall and thin man in black, who seemed to be a guard, and he was holding a long box in his hand.

This young man is naturally the little marquis, and Chu Liang still wants to ask him about Liu Xiaoyu's sister. His seat is naturally in this first seat, and the seat is not far from Chu Liang.

But when he really saw him, Chu Liang didn't immediately ask, but looked at the man in black cautiously.

The tall and thin man in black handed the long box in his hand to the banquet waiter, turned around and sat down in a seat in the back, and then the waiter said loudly: "Little Hou Ye gave Miss Xue a Tan Kite Guqin!" ”

"Ahh

The crowd suddenly had a small uproar, this Tan Kite Guqin is one of the legendary famous pianos, it is said that it has been lost for many years, and it was unexpectedly found by the Dingshan Marquis Mansion, and such a precious instrument was given to Xue Lingxue.

As a musician specializing in the piano, you can imagine how much Xue Lingxue loves this piano.

But Chu Liang didn't look at the qin, but the man in black. Because as soon as he appeared, Chu Liang felt the slashing red sword move.

This man in black is full of resentment!

Although he couldn't wait to slash the red sword, it was impossible for him to jump up and give someone a sword. After all, this is different from before, people have a positive identity, even if they are a bad person, they have to find evidence before they take action. Otherwise, if you kill someone inexplicably, then who will become a bad person?

What's more, he wasn't sure he could beat someone.

Although the bonus of the Red Famous Sword was extremely powerful, Chu Liang's own cultivation was limited. After a blessed blow, he judged by himself that it was probably the strength from the peak of the fifth realm to the beginning of the sixth realm.

And this black-clothed man had a deep aura, and he didn't feel it at all, in case he was a powerhouse of the sixth realm, then Chu Liang would not be able to compete even if he was equipped with a red sword.

This person attracted Chu Liang's attention for a while.

At this time, a female musician from the Nanyin Workshop who followed Xue Lingxue walked on stage first and said loudly: "Thank you for coming today, Senior Sister Xue is preparing backstage, and before the official tour in two days, she will perform a hot hand today." ”

Immediately there was a round of applause from below.

The female musician said: "But Senior Sister Xue's performance this time needs an assistant performer, she intends to choose between you, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

The "willing" voice in the audience immediately stopped.

At this time, Master Li Zhuang said beside him: "It just so happened that the little marquis sent this sandalwood kite guqin, why don't you use this piano for Miss Xue to play?" Let's listen to the rhythm of the legendary guqin? ”

The female musician hesitated for a moment and looked to the side, she naturally couldn't make a decision for Xue Lingxue.

Forthwith.

I saw Xue Lingxue, who was dressed in a plain blue dress, suddenly appeared on the stage, and first showed a cold smile to the little marquis in the audience, and said: "Naturally, thank you very much for finding this lost heirloom piano...... Then, please ask Chu Liang Shaoxia from the Shushan faction to assist me. ”
