The sword technique unleashed, and it flew towards the direction of the Sword Pavilion at a gallop. I didn't tell the Zhou family when I left this time, I told them as early as a month ago that they needed to lie dormant during this time, and their strength had not been greatly improved, so they should not leave the clan land easily.

With the protection of the formation arranged by himself, ordinary monks can't break it. It will take at least more than a year for him to turn around, and the Zhou family should make great progress by then.

After a whole month of flying, the Sword Pavilion area was revealed. Slowly descended to the ground, found the exit to enter, and dodged and walked in.

The Stone Forest Formation that was originally outside has become more powerful, and it must have been improved by Xuan Zhenzi and others. As soon as he entered it, the disciples in the Sword Pavilion felt it. Xuan Zhenzi first sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly sent a message to Xuan Wuxiang and Liu Qingyan.

Xuan Wuxiang, as the sect leader of the Wuxiang Sword Sect, was in charge of everything when Cheng Ling was away, and Liu Qingyan was the first elder of the sect, so the news had to be passed on.

Everyone was shocked in their hearts, the location of the Sword Pavilion was very secretive, since moving here back then, no outsiders had ever broken into the formation, and now the formation hall was warned, could it be that the people of the nine major forces had been killed?

For a while, the high-level leaders of the sect came out one after another and gathered in the main hall. It's just that it didn't take long for their faces to change, the warning sound kept ringing, and the speed of the other party's intrusion was so fast that even the Stone Forest Sword Formation couldn't withstand much time.

Liu Qingyan groaned a little, as if she thought of something, and said, "Don't worry, it should be Cheng Ling back!"

Everyone was stunned, and hurriedly woke up, the level of the formation in the Sword Pavilion was not low, even if ordinary monks broke into it, it was impossible to pass quickly, only Cheng Ling, with his formation cultivation, broke into the stone forest as if playing.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Cheng Ling's figure to appear in front of everyone. As soon as he landed, when he raised his eyes, he saw Liu Qingyan, Evil Wind, Xuan Wuxiang, Xiao Changtian, Xi Yan, Zhang Hu, Song Yingjie and others standing outside the hall, waiting for him.

He smiled slightly and said, "I wanted to surprise you, how did you know that I was coming back?"

Liu Qingyan glanced at him and said, "If you want to come back, you won't send a message first, I almost thought it was a foreign invasion, and put a big oolong." ”

Cheng Ling laughed, stretched his ape arm lightly, and hugged Liu Qingyan and Xiyan, and the joy of reunion after a long absence completely dispersed all fatigue. Gently patted the tender cheeks of the two women, and said, "It's just right, everyone is here, let's go into the hall and talk together." ”

The crowd was overjoyed and surrounded him and walked towards the hall.

Entering the hall, everyone sat down in separate seats. Cheng Ling's divine sense swept over, nodded with satisfaction, in a few years, everyone's cultivation has made great progress.

Liu Qingyan and Evil Wind cultivated to reach the late stage of the tribulation;

Wu Chenlong, Xi Yan, and Zhang Hu reached the early stage of the tribulation;

Xuan Wuxiang and Song Yingjie achieved the consummation of the union;

Xiao Changtian in the late stage of the merger;

Song Hanyu and Xuan Zhenzi were in the middle and early stages of the merger respectively;

Ye Feng, the master of the Sword Hall, Wei Chen, the master of the Law Hall, Fu Jian, the master of the Fu Hall, and the four faces of the Sect have all reached the late stage of distraction.

After Liu Qingyan's introduction, the other four faces are Song Yinghao, the master of the Wutang Hall, He Shuying, the head of the Dantang Hall, Wang Huairen, the master of the Qitang Hall, and Xia Zhentian, the master of the Array Hall. Tangkou, which was originally headed by Song Hanyu, Xiyan, Zhang Hu, and Xuan Zhenzi, has all changed their families.

Cheng Ling nodded slowly and asked, "Everyone is very good, I don't know where you are now."

Grade?"

"Sect Master, I'm the Seventh Rank Late Dan Dao Grandmaster!"

"Sect Master, I am the Peak Runic Dao Grandmaster of the Late Sixth Grade!"

"Sect Master, I am the Seventh Rank Early Stage Instrument Dao Grandmaster!"

"Sect Master, I am the Peak Formation Dao Grandmaster of the Seventh Rank Late Stage!"

The four of them heard Cheng Ling's question, and they all stood up and replied loudly. Only Fu Jian, a little embarrassed, Cheng Ling's hope for Fu Tang is great, resources have been tilted towards them, but the inheritance of Fu Dao is limited, for more than ten years, it has only reached the peak of the late sixth grade, compared with the other three halls, it is a big step behind.

Cheng Ling smiled slightly, and said to Fu Jian: "Don't worry, I will take you to the south after a while, and I will definitely be able to greatly enhance the comprehension of Fu Dao, and I will catch up!"

Fu Jian was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Yes, thank you Sect Master!"

"Okay!" Cheng Ling nodded in agreement, paused for a moment, and his eyes swept around everyone before he said, "How is the situation in the sect recently?"

Xuan Wu replied, and said: "Since migrating to the Sword Pavilion, everyone has been hidden in the sect and rarely goes out, and only one trade route from the Demon Blood Continent is still maintained outside. There will be a secret exchange every six months to ensure the development of the sect. ”

"The disciples are already nearly a million, although the Sword Pavilion is very large, it seems a little crowded, and there is a large area occupied by the sword spirit, the sect monks cannot enter it, and it can be maintained in a short time, if it is too long, I am afraid that unforeseen changes will occur!"

Cheng Ling nodded silently, the monk has been closed in one place for a long time, and he will always be impatient after a long time, if it weren't for Xuan Wuxiang and others to suppress it strongly, I am afraid that many disciples will not be able to bear the loneliness, and his return to the sect this time is very timely.

As for the area occupied by the sword spirit, now is not the time to use it, those sword spirits can be used as the object of the sect's disciples' trials, and he saw back then that the number of sword spirits is not more than tens of millions, where is it so easy to annihilate them all, it seems that the land of the Sword Pavilion also needs to be expanded on a large scale.

Ignoring these for the time being, he continued to ask, "How is the cultivation of the sect disciples?"

Xuan Wuxiang replied briskly: "In the past few decades, the sect master has continued to replenish resources for the sect, and the disciples have entered the realm very quickly. There are 1,000 monks above the distraction level, tens of thousands of monks above the god transformation level, and the rest are monks under the Yuan Infant. ”

Cheng Ling nodded with satisfaction, this kind of strength is no weaker than any of the seven major forces in the south. He said: "There are a few important things to do this time, and everyone can discuss them. ”

Everyone sat down, their eyes focused on his face, ready to listen.

Cheng Ling said: "The first thing, the area of the sect will be expanded, please Xiao Taishang be responsible for this, and Uncle Xuan and I will set up a mountain protection array around it, and at that time, Xiao Taishang will be responsible for the distribution of the disciples' residences and cultivation secret realms." ”

"The second thing, I've been staying in the southern region before, and I need some disciples over there, and I'm going to completely wipe out the seven major forces in the south and the Ouyang family! As for the number of disciples, you don't need to go too much, you can go in turns, but you don't need to go below the transformation stage. ”

Xuan Wuxiang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Sect Master, it is a long way to go from the Sword Pavilion to the south, if you act together, the goal is too big, and it will not be good if it is discovered by the nine major forces." ”

Cheng Ling said with a smile: "It's okay, the third thing I said is to set up a long-distance teleportation array in the Sword Pavilion, and I have already set it up in the south, as long as it is."

Once the teleportation array here is set up, you can go there in batches without even noticing!"

Everyone was shocked, teleportation array, only in ancient times had I heard that a monk could set it up, and I didn't think that Cheng Ling could also do it, what kind of state did his formation grade reach?

Xuan Zhenzi was even more excited, when Cheng Ling returned from the Demon Blood Continent, the formation grade reached the eighth grade, and he benefited a lot from setting up the mountain protection array of the Wuxiang Sword Sect, and his own array grade rose to the early stage of the eighth grade, and now the Sword Pavilion Great Array was set up, plus the teleportation array, a few formations down, it was impossible to improve it.

At this moment, everyone in the hall was very excited, in this way, the monks in the sect could finally go out and let off steam, saving themselves from being locked up in the Sword Pavilion all the time, although the aura inside was strong, and there was a sword spirit as an opponent to assist in cultivation, but for a long time, not to mention ordinary disciples, even they had a feeling of being depressed.

Cheng Ling took in their expressions, and smiled bitterly in her heart, it would be difficult for them to be closed for a few years. It's just that it's not yet the time to appear, the Phaseless Sword Sect is still very immature, and it is too different from the nine major forces, and the battle in the southern region is a good opportunity to hone it.

After a few major events were finished, everyone chatted noisily for a while, in order to comfort the feelings of missing for a long time, and then dispersed one by one.

Cheng Ling left Wu Chenlong and Liu Qingyan behind and asked, "Chenlong, how are the disciples of the Battle Hall now?"

The battle hall is a special hall established in the Wuxiang Sword Sect back then, and it has been hidden in the Sword Pavilion to practice secretly, as the main force of the sect in the future, it enjoys the best resources and cultivation techniques, led by Wu Chenlong alone, and the only people who know this situation are Xuan Wuxiang and Liu Qingyan.

Wu Chenlong replied briskly: "Boss, the situation in the battle hall is very good, there are more than a hundred people above the merge period now, not only that, their exercises are almost in the same line, plus the sword formation you taught, it is definitely a force that cannot be underestimated." ”

"On this trip to the south, let me take them out, and if you nest any further, your bones will rust. ”

Cheng Ling said angrily: "You think that the southern monks are so easy to deal with, if you don't train them to the extreme, I am reluctant to dispatch easily." ”

Wu Chenlong said aggrievedly: "Boss, don't take this, you won't take me with you to Yujing City, and then I didn't have my share in the sect war, and now I want to go to the south to sweep up, and I still refuse to take me to play, I won't do it! You see that Xiaohuzi and Xiyan's cultivation have caught up with me, this time you have to go!"

Liu Qingyan snorted and laughed, Cheng Ling had a headache, this kid is so old, and he looks like a ruffian, it's really amazing. That's it, I was going to let the people in the battle hall sharpen their knives, but looking at his pitiful appearance, I reluctantly agreed.

Wu Chenlong cheered, and without saying anything, he ran out of the hall and shared the news with the disciples of the Battle Hall.

Cheng Ling shook his head and smiled bitterly, and after he left, he turned his head to look at Liu Qingyan, gently grabbed her palm, and said softly: "During this time, I have worked hard for you." ”

Liu Qingyan smiled, leaned his head on his shoulder, and said, "It's not hard, but you, you've been wandering outside and have suffered a lot, what about that fairy? Why didn't she come back with you?"

Cheng Ling felt a pain in her heart, knowing that she was asking Yun Jingwen, and said gloomily: "She has soared back to the fairy world, and I don't know when we will be able to meet again." After speaking, he told her everything before.

Liu Qingyan looked at his face and comforted him: "Don't worry, since she said that she would wait for you, we will definitely see you again!"
