Chapter 113: The Beginning
Three days before the Beast King Festival, the disciples of Qingsongmen who decided to participate in this Beast King Festival gathered, and there were nearly 100 monks who practiced Qi Great Perfection alone, plus more than 100 disciples who practiced Qi at the eleventh level, and there were a total of 223 disciples who participated this time. Affected by the coercion of the Qingsong Gate by the four major factions, this number is thirty less than the last Beastmaster Sacrifice, but the quality has improved a lot.
Among Yun Ming's disciples, Zheng Changfa, Sun Youwei and Zhang Zhiping all have the cultivation of Qi Cultivation and Great Perfection, and they all participated in this beast king festival, while Li Zhenchang is still in retreat and penance, and it seems that he does not plan to go out of the customs if he does not break through the foundation building period. Just looking at Sun Youwei with an indifferent face, Zheng Changfa and Zhang Zhiping couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that Sun Youwei is not going to act with them.
All the disciples gathered in Qingsong City, which was in the flying tower where the flying boat fell when Zhang Zhiping first came to Qingsong City. So many disciples gathered in a hall, some noisy, Zhang Zhiping and Zheng Changfa walked in, at first they didn't attract everyone's attention, but when they met a disciple, they were stunned at first after seeing Zhang Zhiping, and then shouted in surprise: "You, you are Zhang Zhiping!"
Zhang Zhiping still ignored his prestige among the disciples of the outer sect of Qingsongmen, and the voice of this disciple quickly attracted everyone's attention, and before Zhang Zhiping could react, another cry of surprise came out: "Zhang Zhiping is here!" At this moment, everyone heard clearly, and in an instant, a large number of disciples surrounded Zhang Zhiping, squeezed the disciple who shouted Zhang Zhiping's name at the beginning outside, and scrambled to introduce: "Senior Brother Zhang, I am Li Yanlong, please take care of me in this beast king sacrifice." ”
"Senior Brother Zhang, I am Zhao Hang, and the junior brother in this beast king sacrifice must be the head of the senior brother. ”
"Brother Zheng, you are also here, I am Zheng Changfa's friend Ma Yu, and I have met Senior Brother Zhang. ”
Surrounded by so many people enthusiastically at once, Zhang Zhiping was a little caught off guard, in fact, in addition to wanting to know this legendary figure, the purpose of these people was more to get Zhang Zhiping's care in this beast king sacrifice. The Beastmaster Sacrifice is too dangerous, and every time there is no one survivor, even those top masters may fall.
But in order to build Kidan, these disciples had to participate in the Beastmaster Festival, and they naturally tried everything to increase their chances of survival. After so many years of hosting, some monks have analyzed a large number of plans, among which, following the masters of this sect is a very good way, because when the disciples of this sect encounter danger, as long as the danger is not too great, those masters do not mind casually taking action to save their fellow disciples at once.
But for the disciple who is in danger, this is a life! Therefore, they naturally have to be familiar with each other in front of the master of their own sect, so that they can let the other party know themselves when they ask for help, and they can be rescued quickly, otherwise it will have no effect on the master for a moment and a half, and for the person who asks for help, it will really be fatal.
Zhang Zhiping was also a little hurried in the face of this situation for the first time, but fortunately, a voice came from the side at this time to save him: "Quiet, noisy, and not afraid of losing face!" Hearing this reprimand, the disciples immediately quieted down, and Zhang Zhiping turned his head and saw that it was Mu Changqing.
As a senior brother, Mu Changqing nominally led the activities of the disciples in the Beast King Sacrifice, so he naturally had a great prestige, and he could suppress the emotions of all the disciples as soon as he opened his mouth. Seeing that the disciples were quiet, Mu Changqing smiled at Zhang Zhiping and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, you come here, Elder Huang Song and they are all here. When Zhang Zhiping heard this, he hurriedly went over, leaving only Zheng Changfa alone to face the enthusiasm of these disciples.
The leader of this Beast King Festival was the Huang Song Daoist who was on the front line and led the Qingsongmen disciples to confront the four major factions, and led ten True Transmission disciples in the foundation building period to escort these elite disciples of the outer sect. Zhang Zhiping, as the head of the four masters that Qingsongmen focused on this time, has a high status and can have an equal dialogue with the true disciples.
After Zhang Zhiping came in, he first met with Elder Huang Song, who encouraged him, and then stayed with Mu Changqing, Wu Yong, and Bing Ning. Although Zhang Zhiping's talent is amazing, after all, he is not even a monk in the foundation building period, Huang Song's ability to say a few words to him kindly is already very important, and he should not think about it more.
Mu Changqing led Zhang Zhiping and Wu Yong aside. Wu Yong's face at this time was not very good, he failed to build the foundation this time, and wasted a Zhuji Dan, which made him deeply realize that if he wanted to build the foundation, he was afraid that a single Zhuji Dan would not work, and he had to prepare more, but the monks who participated in Tianmen Gorge were not weak, and if he wanted to win more Zhuji Dan, it was indispensable to fight hard.
And Bing Ning, at this time, looked at Zhang Zhiping with a strange expression, she thought that Zhang Zhiping was very unusual, but she didn't expect his strength to be so strong, it was beyond Fan Tao in the Qi training period. He said hello to Zhang Zhiping coldly, and said: "Thank you junior brother for what happened last time, even if I owe my junior brother a favor, if you need help in the future, you can come to me." Zhang Zhiping nodded speechlessly, and couldn't help complaining in his heart, such an indifferent attitude, it doesn't look like you owe me a favor, but like I owe you a favor.
Mu Changqing didn't have that much desire for Tsukidan, with his status in Qingsongmen, it wasn't difficult to get Tsukidan, but the identity of the senior brother limited him. However, this Beast King Sacrifice is not easy, the disciples of the other four factions have formed a lot of enmity with the disciples of Qingsongmen, and it is estimated that they will have to fight-for-tat. So he needs the support of Zhang Zhiping, Wu Yong and Bingning.
The three of them had no objection to this matter, and readily agreed, after all, they were also disciples of Qingsongmen. Mu Changqing smiled with satisfaction when he saw this, and then began to explain some things, and gave the two of them a list of the disciples who participated this time, and if he could, he would try his best to rescue the disciples of his own sect.
Soon, all the disciples who participated in the Beast King Sacrifice came to the Flying Tower, and Huang Song did not delay any longer, leading everyone to the roof platform. There was a huge flying boat on the platform, which was enough to easily hold the disciples of this competition. This flying boat, named Qingsong Boat, is a medium-sized flying boat that can carry 500 people, representing the face of Qingsongmen. Under Elder Huang Song's arrangement, all the disciples entered the flying boat in an orderly manner, and then went directly to Tianmen Gorge.
Tianmen Gorge is not among the Five Kingdoms, but is located in an area on the periphery of the 100,000 Great Mountains. Elder Huang Song piloted the flying boat and flew towards Tianmen Gorge at a speed equivalent to that of the early Jindan period, a speed comparable to that of a large passenger plane in his previous life.
It took two days for the people of Qingsongmen to reach Tianmen Gorge. Looking down from the sky, Tianmen Gorge was shrouded in a faint layer of smoke, and it was impossible to see the situation inside, but judging from the outline, Tianmen Gorge covers an extremely wide area, about the size of ten Qingsong Gorges. The flying boat landed at the camp next to Tianmen Gorge, which had been prepared a long time ago. When the disciples came out, they found that they were the last to come, and at this time, the people from the four major sects and the Scattered Cultivation Alliance had already arrived.
Although there is still some estrangement from the four major factions, the flying boat of Qingsongmen still stops with the flying boat of the four major factions. It's just that as the disciples stepped off the flying boat, they still retained a certain distance from the disciples of the four major sects. After all, at the beginning, the outer disciples of the Qingsong Sect and the four major sects were really fighting, and they could see their enemies at a glance, so it was difficult to stand together with confidence.
The people of the five major factions and the Scattered Cultivation Alliance confronted each other, among which the five major factions had thousands of disciples, and the weakest cultivators were all masters of the eleventh level of Qi cultivation, while the Scattered Cultivation Alliance had more than 2,000 people, but the cultivation was uneven, and the weakest even had monks from the ninth level of Qi cultivation to participate, so in terms of strength, the five major factions were still above the Scattered Cultivation Alliance. It's just that the five major factions are also faintly divided into two piles, the four disciples of the four major factions lead thousands of disciples into one pile, and the Qingsong Sect is also a pile under the leadership of Zhang Zhiping Sijie, and it is difficult to have a situation where the top five factions work together to suppress the Scattered Cultivation Alliance.
