"The five immortal patrol envoys have worked hard all the way, and I have prepared a little wine in the City Lord's Mansion to wash the dust for you. In addition, a small gift was prepared to thank the immortal envoys for their help. ”

"City Lord Jiang is polite, I am here on the orders of the Immortal Sect, there is no need for this!"

"Where, as it should be!"

Ji Yuanzheng and the other five immortal envoys of the Penglai Immortal Sect entered the Qingwu Immortal City with the enthusiastic Jiang Zhen Old City Lord and others.

Su Chen looked at the immortal city in front of him.

Qingwu Immortal City is located in a huge cave city dug out of the cliff, through a "city gate", into the city. But he saw that there was a huge cave ten miles long.

This is Xiancheng Square, where the monks gather.

This huge cave in the rock wall extends dozens of stone roads in different directions, deep and long, and is the main street of Qingwu City. Although it is deep, it is not dim at all, and the ceiling of the cave is inlaid with countless night pearls and gems.

The priceless night pearl like pigeon eggs in the mortal world can be seen everywhere in this green black immortal city, used to decorate and illuminate. It's just that there is no aura, and it is worthless of spirit stones. These jeweled stones will shine the entire Qingwu Immortal City with dazzling brilliance and luxury.

The monks of the Penglai Immortal Sect soon arrived at the City Lord's Mansion with the old city lord Jiang and walked into the golden hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

In the rather spacious and luxurious hall, there are some dancers dressed up in the Qi refining period who are dancing with flowers and branches, and the lingqin master is playing the beautiful sound.

On the seats on the left and right, there are seven monks in different costumes, drinking and laughing in twos and threes, enjoying the singing and dancing of the dancers.

Among them, three Zhuji monks dressed in all spirit beast robes sat on one side, a thin and cold young man in the center, and two burly and strong men on either side.

A string of white bone magic tools hung from their waists, and they were the foundation-building disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Sect. The disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect have a habit of hunting demon beasts, and even after killing enemies, they will take a piece of their bones and refine them into small devices, hanging them on their waists to show off.

The thin and cold young man had a long list of various colored fangs, green feathers, spirit marrow and other bone tools hanging around his waist, all showing his great military exploits.

On the other side, the four foundation-building monks were dressed differently.

A wandering old Taoist priest, wearing a shabby and miserable white Taoist robe, sat alone with a dust whisk in his hand and lowered his eyebrows, silently reciting the Taoist scriptures without saying a word. This plain dress is obviously a Taoist priest who has no door and no sect, and is self-cultivating.

A charming young woman, dressed in red and green, dressed coquettishly and explicitly, with a charming demeanor between her eyebrows, I don't know where it came from.

There was also a couple of male and female monks who looked like each other, with the emblem of the Double Cultivation Immortal Sect on their clothes, whispering and laughing about something.

They seem to be small sect monks and scattered monks of different origins.

Su Chen couldn't help frowning when he saw that there were other Immortal Sect monks and scattered cultivators there. If you don't have to do anything, how can there be other monks from the Immortal Sect in this City Lord's Mansion?

The seven foundation building monks in the hall couldn't help but change their faces slightly when they saw all the Penglai Immortal Sect disciples appear. They didn't seem to expect that the people from the Penglai Immortal Sect suddenly appeared, and there were as many as five of them.

The hall was suddenly silent and the atmosphere was solemn.

"These five are Brother Ji and others from the Penglai Immortal Sect's Immortal Sect, these three are Brother Wei and others from the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Sect's Immortal Sect, and these are Daoist Ge of Sanxiu, Daoyou Fang, and the Chen couple of the Double Cultivation Immortal Sect...!"

Seeing that the scene was a little stiff, the old city lord Jiang hurriedly introduced the monks to each other.

Ji Yuanzheng, Su Chen and the other five people had dark faces, and they could only sit down on one side of the hall. There were too many people present at this time, and it was not easy for them to ask how the people of the other Immortal Sects could also appear.

"Oh, in the Lower Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Sect Wei Zhuo, I have seen all the Dao brothers of the Penglai Immortal Sect!

The thin and cold monk drank a glass of spiritual wine and sneered faintly.

Ji Yuanzheng returned the salute calmly.

"Come, everyone drink, don't sit still! Brother Wei, I have heard the name of Brother Tai for a long time, I will give you a drink!"

The monks quickly touted, and the bewitching young woman and the couple frequently toasted the thin monks of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. In contrast, their attitude towards the monks of the Penglai Immortal Sect was very ordinary.

After listening to their words, Su Chen knew that this foundation-building monk of the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Sect actually had a lot of background, he was the son of the Jindan Sect Master, and the attitude of the monks to be so flattering seemed to be a bit powerful.

Old City Lord Jiang hurriedly said, very grateful to all the monks for passing by here when they went out to practice, they heard that the Qingwu Immortal City was in trouble, and stayed to help.

The old city lord Jiang immediately sent a gift to each of the five people of the Penglai Immortal Sect, each of whom had a box of second-order low-grade refined iron materials after preliminary refining and purification.

Although the grade is average, it is also worth two thousand spirit stones.

Penglai Immortal Sect and the other five people were naturally quite satisfied, this Jiang City Lord gave a gift first when they met, and they were very good at being a person. Although they were sent by the Penglai Immortal Sect, they gave some benefits in private, and they were naturally more dedicated.

As for the other Ten Thousand Beast Immortal Sect and other foundation-building cultivators, City Lord Jiang had already given gifts, but he didn't give them again.

"City Lord Jiang, I don't know what happened to your city?"

Ji Yuanzheng put other things aside and asked.

"It's a long story. ”

The old city lord Jiang couldn't help but frown and recruited a young miner. The miner was the only survivor at the time.

The young miner recounted the situation carefully, still looking very frightened, "We were digging a copper concentrate, and suddenly there were screams and strange biting sounds from the distant mine tunnel that night. I was so frightened that I didn't dare to turn back, so I tried my best to escape. Finally broke out of the mine and escaped. ”

The young miner later learned that he was the only one who had escaped.

Dozens of other Qi refining stage monks all died in the mine.

City Lord Jiang also nodded, and said with palpitations: "At that time, there were dozens of miners in this mine during the gas refining period mining, but he was the only one who escaped. When I learned of the situation, I immediately went in to take a look, but there was no room left. But I don't know what kind of monster is making trouble, and being able to quickly kill so many Qi refining cultivators in one breath is definitely not an idle monster, I am afraid that there is a foundation building realm above.

I was too thin to linger and investigate carefully. quickly sealed the entrance of the cave, lest the monsters inside rush out. I also hope that all of you can help together and follow me into the mine to find out. ”

The foundation building monks in the living room looked at the five people of the Penglai Immortal Sect one after another.

They have known about these situations for a long time, and they have always wanted to go into the mine to investigate the situation and help Qingwu City solve this disaster.

However, the old city lord Jiang made excuses in every possible way, shirked the delay, and waited until the five foundation-building monks of the Penglai Immortal Sect arrived, and then he said that he was going to enter the mine.

Ji Yuanzheng pondered for a while, and then said: "Our group has been on the road for most of the month, and it is getting late today, so let's take a break first." Let's go back tomorrow!"

"It's okay! I'll open the mine tomorrow, and I'll go in and have a look. ”

City Lord Jiang hurriedly got up and sent Penglai Immortal Sect and the other five people to rest.

...

Everyone said goodbye one after another and left the City Lord's Mansion.

The old city lord Jiang arranged a luxury inn in Qingwu City to let the five immortal envoys of the Penglai Immortal Sect rest.

"City Lord Jiang, how can the Ten Thousand Beast Immortal Sect and the Double Cultivation Immortal Sect appear?"

Ji Yuanzheng asked the city lord Jiang and said calmly.

Old City Lord Jiang's face was full of bitterness, and he hurriedly said: "Since something happened to the mine, I hurriedly asked your sect for help. But within a few days, the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Sect and those few scattered cultivators didn't know where to get the news, so they came uninvited. They claimed to have gone out to practice, and when they passed by Qingwu City, they heard that something big had happened here and wanted to come to help.

I can't get rid of them, I'm anxious. These days there has been a lot of procrastination, refusing to open the closed mine. It's a good thing you're here today, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to delay for a few days!"

"I see, let's go into the mine tomorrow. ”

Ji Yuanzheng nodded slightly.

"Okay, I'll take my leave, and I'll come back tomorrow to go down the mine with you!"

The old city lord Jiang quickly took his leave and left.

...

The five people of Penglai Immortal Sect gathered in a side room to discuss how to handle this matter.

Ji Yuan was pacing, as if he was thinking about something.

His face was calm, and he looked at Su Chen, Zhuang Bufan and the others: "What do you think?"

Zhuang Bufan smiled, shook his fan and said: "These little immortal sects and scattered cultivators have always been unprofitable and do not get up early, they come over like cats smelling fishy, then they must have found something in Qingwu City." The city lord Jiang is the head snake of the local land, but he doesn't say a word, and he must be hiding something from us. ”

Su Chen also felt that there was something wrong with City Lord Jiang, and said in a deep voice, "Senior Brother Ji, what is the relationship between this City Lord Jiang and our Penglai Immortal Sect?

"Not all!"

Ji Yuanzheng shook his head and sighed: "In order to avoid too many bloody conflicts within the Immortal Sect of Shenzhou, the territory has been divided a long time ago, and the direct power of the Immortal Sect is limited to the mountain gate.

And the large and small immortal cities all belong to the local family forces and the world's scattered cultivators, which also gives the casual cultivators a space for development.

Of course, there are always some immortal sects that will not abide by the rules, privately support their disciples, and occupy the territory of the outside world in the name of the small cultivation immortal family. Penglai Immortal Sect can't clean itself alone, so naturally it can only follow the crowd.

The large immortal city is not easy to control, and the major sects have placed supportive disciples, and they generally have a neutral attitude. Such a big city as Chaoge Immortal City will not favor any sect. The population of a small immortal city is small, and a city like Wuqing City is relatively easy to get.

This Jiang City Lord is a small family monk supported by our sect, and he is half a member of the Penglai Immortal Sect. Since he became the city lord, eighty percent of the various spiritual ores dug up by Qingwu Immortal City have been transported to my Penglai Immortal Sect.

However, in the past hundred years, City Lord Jiang has been rooted in Qingwu Immortal City, spreading branches and leaves here, and not in Penglai Immortal City, it is inevitable that he will have selfish intentions. If he hides anything from us, he is probably doing so out of selfishness.

Moreover, Qingwu City must be far more than our Penglai Immortal Sect secretly supporting. Other Immortal Sects also buried shadows, otherwise it wouldn't have been just a few days before the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect rushed over.

This Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Sect is one of the dozens of small sects, but the mountain gate is close to here, and it will be there in a few days. As for the fact that the Double Cultivation Sect is far away from this place, it is likely that the Chen couple are really passing by this place and want to get some benefits. As for casual practice... Some immortal sects see undesirable things, and often support some loose cultivators to do it in order to clear themselves. No one knows where they came from. ”
