Qiao Yuan looked at Lian Jingshan's face, and saw that he lowered his head slightly, his expression was serious, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Then he turned his head to look at Tian Wu and Lu Nan, smiled slightly, and nodded.

The meeting hall was unusually quiet, no one spoke, Zhan Yao was a little uncomfortable, and secretly transmitted the voice to Qiao Yuan.

"Brother Qiao, you have caused such a big trouble, will the sect punish you?"

When Qiao Yuan heard this, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and glanced at her angrily.

When Qiao Yuansheng captured Meng Yan, he didn't know what the two agreements were, and Meng Yan was assassinated, and he had nothing to do with him, as for killing Meng Rong, it was to save Qu Yunwei.

Besides, it is a matter of course to kill the monks of the hostile sect, if they are punished for this, then who will dare to go into battle to kill the enemy in the future.

"Hee-hee...... , Brother Qiao, Xiao Yao teased you, you have made such a great contribution, the sect will definitely reward you. ”

The corners of Zhan Yao's lips raised, revealing two charming pear vortices, and she said with a smile.

"Okay, don't spread the word, let others find out that it's not good. ”

Qiao Yuan looked at Zhan Yao, showing a shallow smile, and then closed his eyes and waited quietly.

When I came over for a cup of tea, I saw three people walking in from outside, it was Zhu Rou, Yao De, and Junyun who had been investigating the killing of Meng Yan.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lian Jingshan showed a smile on his face, looked at Zhu Rou, and asked softly.

"Senior Sister Zhu, I don't know how Meng Yan's investigation is?"

Zhu Rou sighed lightly, with a wry smile on her face, shook her head and said.

"We checked all the disciples who were close to the Iron Prison that night, and found that they either didn't know anything about the formations or had alibi evidence, so there was no progress on this matter for the time being. ”

Lian Jingshan did not show disappointment, since the murderer was able to sneak into the iron prison, how could he be a simple character.

"Senior Brother Lian, I don't know what the sect's response is?"

Zhu Rou naturally understood this, and didn't think much about it, she looked at Lian Jingshan and asked with a light smile.

"The sect didn't say much, just said that everything was business as usual. ”

Lian Jingshan's expression was solemn, and he didn't say much, but it made everyone's hearts beat drums.

"It's business as usual, if that Huoyun True Monarch comes to the door, then what should we do?"

Yao De's eyes flickered several times, and his face showed a look of confusion, he really didn't understand what the sect meant.

If his son and grandson are killed, I am afraid that they will not abide by any agreement, and they will rush directly to the enemy camp to kill, after all, this feud is too big.

"This is the result of the joint discussion of the four peak masters, and I don't know very well, so I guess the sect has other preparations. ”

Lian Jingshan shook his head, there was also a puzzled look in his eyes, obviously he didn't quite understand the sect's decision.

"Even Senior Brother, maybe the two Yuan Infant Elders have reached some kind of agreement, after all, Firewind Valley is a blatant breach of contract, even if it is a dead person, it will not be able to take care of it. ”

Qiao Yuan thought for a moment, slightly relieved, and didn't want to come to Firewind Valley to completely start a war with the Moon River Sect because of the three Jindan Stage cultivators.

After all, if the two of them have a real fire, then the three sects such as Fengyangmen will not make a small fight, and the situation will be really difficult to control at that time.

When everyone heard Qiao Yuan's speculation, they immediately thought of the reason, and nodded in agreement.

"In this case, the second protective array will be temporarily closed, and everything will return to normal. ”

Even Jingshan saw Qiao Yuan's words that reassured everyone, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said slowly.

After he finished speaking, he saw that everyone nodded, so his expression changed, and he asked very solemnly.

"By the way, now that we and Firewind Valley each occupy two sandbanks, we still need to fight for the fifth sandbank, I wonder which three junior brothers and sisters are willing to invite Ying to fight?"

Qiao Yuan had heard Junyun talk about the battle for sandbanks before, there were countless sandbanks of all sizes on the Mohe River, but there were five sandbanks that were the largest.

The two cases will fight for the sandbar every six months, and whichever one seizes the most sandbanks will have the right to take the initiative to attack in the next six months, while the other side can only defend passively.

In this way, not only can the disciples have more training, but also will not cause too many casualties due to large-scale wars.

After all, a sandbar battle can send up to thirty foundation building disciples and one Jindan stage monk.

However, the battle for the sandbar is also divided into two phases, the first stage is that the two sects each send four teams to compete for the four smaller sandbanks.

If one occupies three or four sandbanks, the battle for the sandbanks will be over.

If each of the two clans occupies two sandbanks, the second stage of the sandbar battle will be played, with each of the two clans sending a team to fight for the fifth sandbank.

However, this time, the number of people participating in the competition was three times as many as before, that is, three Jindan monks and a hundred foundation building monks were dispatched.

The previous four teams, Junfeng and Qu Yunwei's teams successfully occupied two sandbanks, while the teams led by Di Qingzhu and Yao De failed to return.

Qiao Yuan turned his eyes and saw that the rest of the people were bowing their heads and thinking, so he got up and said with a chuckle towards Lian Jingshan.

"Senior brother, senior brother is willing to go. ”

Zhan Yao saw that Qiao Yuan took the initiative to ask for help, her face immediately showed a look of worry, she stretched out her little hand and pulled Qiao Yuan's sleeve, although she didn't speak, but the caring eyes said everything.

Lian Jingshan looked at Qiao Yuan, frowned slightly, and secretly said in his heart that this kid didn't know how much enmity he had with others, and he dared to take the initiative to ask for help.

However, there were other people at this moment, and as the head of the camp, it was impossible for him to blatantly favor his junior disciples, so he just signaled Qiao Yuan not to go with his eyes.

Qiao Yuan slowly put away the smile on the corner of his mouth, and his face showed a solemn and firm look to show that he had made this decision after careful consideration.

Seeing that the others had their eyes on his face, Lian Jingshan couldn't help but sigh in his heart and nodded.

"Senior Brother Lian, Senior Sister is willing to go. ”

Just as he nodded, Di Qingzhu also stood up and said with a faint expression.

A hint of surprise flashed in Qiao Yuan's eyes, and he turned his head to look at Di Qingzhu, but saw her stinky face, and glared at him directly.

Lian Jingshan was very keen to capture Di Qingzhu's small movements, and he secretly wondered in his heart how this kid had provoked this fierce junior sister again.

However, even Jingshan didn't think much about it, and seeing that several other people were still thinking about it, he nodded to Di Qingzhu.

After Di Qingzhu sat down, there was a brief silence in the conference hall, except for Zhu Rou and Lian Jingshan, who were going to sit in the camp, the other few people could recommend themselves.

However, because they were afraid of Huoyun Zhenjun, they were all thinking deeply about whether to go on this trip or not.

After a while, Lu Nan, Junyun and Yao De stood up at the same time, looking at their appearances, it was obvious that they were all planning to invite Ying to fight.

The three of them glanced at each other, smiled slightly, and then turned their heads to look at Lian Jingshan to see how he decided.

The three junior brothers took the initiative to ask for help, and the senior brother was deeply pleased, but there was only one place left, so it was better to give it to Senior Brother Yao, he is proficient in the art of medicinal therapy, and he will definitely play a key role in an emergency. ”

Lian Jingshan's gaze swept back and forth over the three of them, and after a long silence, a crisp smile appeared on his face, and he said slowly.

Lu Nan and Junyun were not disappointed in the slightest, they just smiled and nodded, and sat down.

After that, they discussed some trivial matters, and then left the council hall together.

Then the mission hall in the city posted the latest task, participating in the competition for the fifth sandbar, and the three elders who led the team were Yao De, Di Qingzhu and Qiao Yuan.

When the disciples heard this, they rushed towards the mission hall with excitement on their faces, wanting to participate in this mission.

Although the task of fighting for the sandbar is dangerous, most powerful disciples are willing to participate because of the rich rewards.

In particular, the battle for the fifth sandbar was awarded twice as many merit points as it was so crucial.

After this task is released every year, the threshold of the mission hall is almost flattened by the disciples.

However, those who dare to participate in this task are generally disciples who think they are extremely strong, and disciples with average strength are looking forward to sighing.

After all, this fifth sandbar battle was different from the ordinary sandbar battle, the casualty rate was extremely high, and it was difficult for a disciple of average strength to come back alive at all.

But this time, when the disciples saw Qiao Yuan among the elders of the Jindan period who led the team, their confidence immediately soared, and some disciples with average strength also had a hard time.

They had already heard that although Qiao Yuan only had the cultivation of the early stage of Jindan, he was able to kill the late stage of Jindan with his own strength, and with such strength, the disciples were naturally extremely relieved.

Qiao Yuan didn't know about these things, and he was now drinking tea leisurely with Zhan Yao in the house.

"Brother Qiao, why do you take the initiative to lead the team, this is too dangerous. ”

Zhan Yao pursed her lips, looked angry, put down the teacup handed over by Qiao Yuan, and asked in great puzzlement.

"The matter is caused by me, I can't let others bear the consequences, if this sandbar battle, Huoyun Zhenjun doesn't make a move, once he makes a move, no matter who goes, I'm afraid I will feel guilty." ”

Qiao Yuan picked up the hot tea and took a sip lightly, his expression relaxed and leisurely, not at all like a person who was about to go to the battlefield.

"But...... But ......"

Zhan Yao wanted to say some words of admonition, but it could be seen that he didn't care, and he was suddenly even more annoyed, and couldn't help chopping the jade feet.

"Xiao Yao, no need, this matter has been decided, you can rest assured, I have my own plans. ”

Qiao Yuanyuan saw that Zhan Yao's little face was about to turn into a ball, and couldn't help but reach out and pat her head.

The time to fight for the fifth sandbar was only half a month later, and during this period, in addition to selecting the hundred foundation building disciples to participate in the battle, they also had to make some pre-battle preparations.

After all, this kind of battle of hundreds of monks is not as simple as a dozen monks fighting each other, and it also requires tactics and strategies.

Three days later, Qiao Yuan, Yao De, and Di Qingzhu went to the mission hall together, and carefully selected a hundred people from the hundreds of disciples who signed up for the mission.

Among these 100 people, Tang Li, Lin Wantian, Xie Feiyu, Yin Shuangshuang, Yi Chenfeng, Fang Jingxing and Chen Surou are all listed, they are all monks who have built a perfect foundation, and they all have their own means, and their strength is not weak among monks of the same level.

"Ladies and nephews, I have ten sets of array flags here, called the Little Mountain Fire Array, which are for the integrated offensive and defensive formation, which can greatly enhance your defense and attack power after urging. ”

In the martial arts training ground in the city, Qiao Yuan, Yao De, and Di Qingzhu stood at the forefront, and there were hundreds of foundation building disciples standing neatly below.

Qiao Yuan turned his hand and took out a square array plate and nine small arm-length array flags, and said aloud to everyone.

"You take ten people as a team, divided into ten teams, one of them holds the formation plate, and the other nine people hold the formation flag, and the formation can be closely connected by the formation, turning into a whole, advancing and retreating together, and defending together."

After speaking, the disciples below all flickered their eyes, staring at the array flag in Qiao Yuan's hand, with a look of amazement on their faces, and many disciples secretly sighed that Uncle Qiao's shot was extraordinary.
