Chapter 214: No Victory
The battle with the ground-level monk Mo Haishu, the result of no victory or defeat was somewhat embarrassing.
Under the attention of Jiang Feng's own home field, Luo Chuan, and many Xuan-level monks and spiritual-level monks under his command, if he could achieve a good counterattack victory, it would definitely be an excellent extension for Jiang Feng's personal prestige. As a leader, it is necessary to be able to govern the sect well and seek benefits for the monks, but if it can be revealed in the competition, it is even better, just like a little red in the green, this little red can be very small, but the effect is very obvious.
Prestige is sometimes more important than reasonableness and legitimacy.
Fortunately, Jiang Feng's previous record was not bad, in the competition, he killed the cold-level monk Tuoba Tu, and in the sect martial arts, he killed the Xuan-level monk Yue Xishan in one move, in the streets and alleys, until today, there are often people who praise it, and now in a hurry, it is a good record to be able to tie with the ground-level monk.
Of course, according to Liao Shencang's statement, Jiang Feng had no hope of fighting, but fortunately, the people in the formation did not hear this, and even if they did, they did not see it in person.
"Master, do you really want to go to Zhenwu City and confront the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce?" Seeing that Jiang Feng was about to leave, Foreign Affairs Elder Wu Quanzhong disregarded the danger and went out of the protective array, rushed over to inquire, and seeing that Liao Shencang did not mean to stop him, he led Jiang Feng aside and asked in a low voice, "Master, that Moqiu Spring, really?" His palm shook lightly under the cover of his body, making a "killing" appearance.
Jiang Feng just smiled slightly, everything was silent, "It's okay, Quanzhong, don't worry, I'll be fine, when I come back in the middle of next month, I will go with me to visit Luoyingmen." ”
"Yes!"
Jiang Feng's calm performance surprised Wu Quanzhong, it was obvious that the monk named Moqiu Spring should have died in the hands of the master, so that the other party could send two ground-level monks to ask, this deceased must also be a ground-level monk, or have a similar level of cultivation, thinking of this, he was a little shocked in his heart, saying that the head of the sect is young, when did the fighting skills become so superb?
Wu Quanzhong turned around and looked at the people of the Qianshan Sect who intended to come over to ask for warmth, stopped the comer with his eyes, and retreated into the formation with Wei Ruoguang, the elder of the Gong Gong who was also out of the battle, Jiang Feng saw that everyone had retreated, and he remembered something in his heart, so he returned to the formation, handed over the two magic weapons to Wei Ruoguang and Zheng Luda respectively, and entrusted them to hand over the magic weapons to his two apprentices, and gave a few words of advice, so that the imperial envoy who was relieved flew against the wind and flew to the boat a few feet in front of Liao Shencang, and rushed to the direction of Zhenwu City first.
He originally wanted to save some spiritual power, but he thought that if he rode the flying sword with Liao Shencang, he was afraid that he would give people the suspicion of "being caught on the spot", so he called Jiang Chengzi, the apprentice who turned into a human form again and was inconvenient to withdraw his right arm in public, and walked with him, but fortunately, the [Snow Hide] of Modi's long sword could still be used, so he immediately stimulated, recovered the spiritual power consumed by the fighting method, and no longer worried about Mo Haishu's sneak attack halfway.
Judging from the ability of the fighting method, Jiang Feng still belongs to the ordinary level, and in terms of the shortcomings of the field control ability, it has not been made up, which is the main reason why the fighting method has not been successful.
But from another point of view, Fang Cai's fighting method, even if he has the strength to defeat Mo Haishu, it is impossible to kill him on the spot, which will completely break his cooperation with the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, no matter how much expectations and hopes the left envoy Qiu Nanjia and the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce she represents for cooperation, it is impossible to endure Jiang Feng's "atrocity" of openly killing the eight protectors of the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, which is somewhat different from the nature of Mo Qiu Quan's case.
On the one hand, Mo Qiu Quan's death happened a long time ago, and it is estimated that the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce has already determined and closed the case; Of course, Qiu Nanjia's final attitude depends on the "sincerity" of his release. Otherwise, even if there is a patriarchal system to protect the inheritance of the sect, but one's own safety, strictly speaking, is not among the protections, even if the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce will not openly kill Jiang Feng, it is not difficult to find a suitable opportunity.

Imperial Wind Sect, Vertical Arch City.
Ling Fei and the city lord Feng Jiming had just finished a win-winning battle and were forced to draw by a Xuan-level monk, Ling Fei felt a little "ashamed", but his heart was even more urgent to improve himself as soon as possible.
"Ling Daoyou, if you are willing to believe in that machine spirit, you may be the one who will win today. Feng Jiming said calmly, "He knows too many of my secrets, but as time goes by, these experiences will gradually lose their value." The reason why he dared to be so straightforward was entirely because Ling Fei came alone and took the lead in revealing the secret of the two, at this time, Ling Fei was not the pure Ling Feidu, and Feng Jiming was not the harmless city lord Zang Tianhai.
"Ho, of course I'm going to rely on my own strength. Ling Feidu said, the spiritual power in his hand surged, and there was a pitch-black snowball, which was the instrument spirit that had agreed with him to help each other before.
"Snow girl, you became a man, just to avoid me?" Above the pitch-black snowball, a small figure emerged, the shape of the villain was more condensed than before, and the facial features were more distinct.
"You think too much, Yao Bing, I just think it's better to be a man, it has nothing to do with you. Why, do you still remember being abandoned by me?"
"Hmph!" the disdainful Nunu mouth of the instrument spirit called "Yao Bing", "Snow Girl, you'd better be honest, don't use your brains, and cooperate with us, so that everyone will benefit." ”
"My name is Feng Jiming now, not Snow Girl. Feng Jiming corrected, "That's just me in the past, and I am not the same person at all, and you, Yao Bing, are still living in old dreams." ”
"Naturally!" he continued, "I don't turn down anyone who wants to work with me. There's a lot I can do, though, but what can I get out of it?"
"The details of this matter, I'm afraid I have to discuss it with Mu Qianxue in detail. After finishing speaking, Ling Feidu crushed a navy blue jade talisman with lack of interest, and all the surrounding scenery quickly dissipated, revealing the City Lord's Mansion surrounded by distant mountains, Fang Cai's illusion could shield everything around, and it would also shield himself from Feng Jiming, Ji Ling Yaobing's phone call and fighting method, and Mu Qianxue was waiting for the results of his negotiations in the City Lord's Mansion at this time.

North Sword Gate, Valley City.
This new city was built near the spiritual land of the Xijian Valley, which was originally a small town, and now the North Sword Gate is independent from the Ancient Sword Gate, and over time, it has gradually prospered.
With the financial support of the Qi State, coupled with the guidance of the concept of building a "free city", the opening of the cave is progressing very smoothly, and many scattered cultivators and small families who were frustrated in the civil war of the Seven Alliances have moved here.
Pu Tiexin has accepted Wan Xuanwei's invitation to become the guest elder here, ostensibly responsible for the inspection of the northern border, but in fact he has assumed the responsibility of monitoring the scattered cultivation, and many monks have come to vote, but it is not difficult to speculate that there will be many harborers here, as well as secret agents from other sects.
As one of the three prefecture-level monks who Wan Xuanwei co-opted, Pu Tiexin got along quite well with another prefecture-level monk and a Jindan monk, which made the idea that he was worried about his status as a casual cultivator and might not get along with others gradually faded a lot, but after staying here for many days, he missed some family members in Lizong a little.
They should be taken over, or simply dragged to the North Sword Gate to serve. Park Tiexin informed Wan Xuanwei of this idea, and Wan Xuanwei was naturally indispensable.
"This is a good thing! Tie Xin, you can pull them over, and I will arrange the position!" Wan Xuanwei patted his chest and slapped the package ticket, "However, this matter still has to wait, there is a more important matter that needs your help." ”
"Oh?" Park Tiexin originally thought that this matter would be easy to do, but he didn't expect that there would be a difference in the middle.
"Uncle Qi Guo, who is in charge, sent two Jindan monks over yesterday, hoping to take the head to participate in the auction of the Righteous Qi Alliance and help him buy some skills to protect himself. ”
"Well, I know about this, but what is the situation of the auction of the Righteous Qi Alliance?"
Pu Tiexin replied honestly, the uncle of Wan Feiran, the head of the Beijian Gate, is Qi Hengtai, the lord and head of the Qi Empire, which is a well-known thing in the Beijian Gate, which is also one of the main reasons why many loose cultivators dare to defect to the narrow Beijian Gate.
Wan Xuanwei told him what he knew about the Righteous Qi Alliance, "You will know about this sooner or later, the Righteous Qi Alliance's auction of skill books is well-known in the Tianyuan Beilu. Monks who want to acquire some high-level skills will pay attention to this matter. This auction was held in Xiaoting City of the Imperial Wind Sect, originally, there were two Jin Dan escort heads, I was not worried, but if one of us didn't go, one might make Qi Guo despise us, and second, the head of the family rarely asked about everything, so trusting us and others, he had to show him some content from time to time. ”
"Contents?"
"Hey, in layman's terms, brother, you are one of the contents, you are a prefecture-level monk I recruited, and it is also my important political achievement. Wan Xuan smiled, "Of course, walking with the head of the house is also good for you." Mix up the familiar face, and when Elder Li retires, the position of Elder Chuangong will be yours. ”
"I didn't think that long-term. ”
Park Tiexin is not very interested in this, but as Wan Xuanwei said, if he can enter the sight of the head Wan Feiran, it is also excellent for him to move his family here for development. Before coming to the North Sword Gate, he had wanted to move his family to the Ashala Sect, after all, the head Jiang Feng was familiar with him, and now if he could take root thousands of miles away, it seemed to be a good choice, but it didn't seem appropriate to put all his hopes here.
"If I'm gone, these guys will keep an eye on me. Park Tiexin thought about it, and felt that the matter still had to be explained, he had been responsible for secretly staring at the scattered cultivators who had fled here, if he messed up Zhou Zhang because of a short leave, it would be a big mistake. He pulled out a piece of paper rolled in one place, listing three names and notes:
Lu Hook: Suspected of defecting, there is a possibility of gathering a crowd to loot assets and escape;
Sun Desheng: Suspected of being a secret agent of Chixiamen, but there is no sufficient evidence now;
Ning Keji: Suspected of being an agent of the Ancient Sword Gate, using family letters to transmit information in code, and following up;
"Good!"
Wan Xuanwei looked at it carefully, and then crushed the papyrus into dust, "I will find someone to pay attention, you can go to the Imperial Wind Sect with the head of the sect with peace of mind." The number of monks who have defected to us is still increasing, and if we are not worried about the bad impact, we can decisively get rid of them even if there is not enough evidence. But now...... Pregnant. He suddenly seemed to realize.
"How?"
"Send them to the Biyun Sect as an envoy, and someone will help us watch them!"
............
When Jiang Feng and Liao Shencang arrived at Zhenwu City, it was already dusk.
Unlike Jiang Feng's expectations, Liao Shencang did not go back to the herb shop "Heqiju" of the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible, but found an ordinary tavern to sit down.
"You want to drink?" Jiang Feng couldn't figure out how Liao Shencang, a prefecture-level monk, could have such a hobby, and with his identity, he should also find a tavern with luxurious decorations and ask for some spirit wine.
"Nope. Liao Shencang's answer was simple and clear, he immediately asked for a cold brown rice, and a plate of dismal vegetarian dishes, without any meat, and the price was also the cheapest in this ordinary tavern, which not only made the bartender who was afraid of his cultivation change color, but also made Jiang Feng, who was also empty, slightly disappointed.
"Why is this?" Some monks have a desire to eat, this is completely understandable, and Jiang Feng can't avoid being vulgar when he asks himself, but Liao Shencang's action really makes Jiang Feng unable to understand.
"Whenever I have a problem that I can't get rid of, I find a tavern, ask for the cheapest meals, and remember my childhood, so that all my worries can be solved. ”
"You were poor when you were a kid?"
"Fortunately, I was really poor for a while. If it weren't for the cultivators who could open the valley, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to live to this day. Liao Shencang stretched out his hand to make himself a cup of tea, this free tea is a little cold and turbid, not to mention the aura, even the fragrance of tea is pitiful.
"So what do you need to sort out?"
"I have helped another wicked man today, which is contrary to my heart. ”
"You mean the Mohai Tree?"
"I'm not helping him, I'm talking about you. Liao Shencang glanced up at Jiang Feng, his cold look made Jiang Feng feel cold all over his body, but he couldn't give birth to the slightest sense of resistance, and then looked at Xiao Er behind him, there were already two more trickles between his trouser legs, Jiang Feng suspected that while Liao Shencang was speaking, he used a special deterrent skill similar to "falling into a dream" on himself.
"Did I do evil? I was just protecting myself, and if it were you, you would have done your best. Jiang Feng defended that since Liao Shencang didn't kill himself and brought himself to Zhenwu City, it was meaningless to go around in circles with him to discuss who was right and who was wrong, whether he knew his identity and other details, not to mention, it was the left envoy Qiu Nanjia who could decide his fate in the end.
"That's not what I'm talking about. Liao Shencang said, "The battle between the monks itself has casualties, and the avenue is in contention, it doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong." I'm talking about Fuyuan Town, where a lot of ordinary people have died recently, you already know something, right?"
"......" Jiang Feng was a little speechless, he didn't know where to start, and he didn't know to what extent Liao Shencang knew the inside story.
"It's good to do it yourself. ”
After speaking, Liao Shencang ate a few mouthfuls of the brown rice, the dry taste, and the vegetarian dishes that seemed to only have a salty taste, the two seemed to deeply stimulate his taste buds, he couldn't help but shed tears for this, and swallowed a lot of them with all his might, and then calmed down, "I hope you can think of a way to reduce the death of ordinary people." ”
"Okay, I'll do my best. ”
Jiang Feng didn't know how to answer for a while, but looking at Liao Shencang's expression, it was indeed a true expression, this Mu Ne's prefecture-level monk turned out to be a person with a story and a good heart, so he didn't want to hurt him again, so he said something that had no nutrition and didn't make any real promises.
The two of them were speechless all the way, and entered the closed "Heqiju" herb shop from the back door, and the steward Ni Dabao was really not there, he should have gone to report to the left envoy Qiu Nanjia that he had not returned, and in his inner room, the two saw a monk who also had vertical eyes.
"Lu Changyin, you're here to be a middleman, right?"
Liao Shencang immediately recognized this person, and Jiang Feng also followed his introduction, looking up and down at this Xuan-level cultivator, for some reason, he actually had a feeling of déjà vu.
