If it was according to Liu Ding's temper in the past, combined with the recent events of Jing Kongzong, the first thing he would do after returning to the mountain should be to gather all the foundation building monks to discuss the deployment of countermeasures.

In this regard, the monks of the Jinggang Sect, who were puzzled, asked Liu Fan one after another.
However, since Liu Ding came back, Liu Fan seemed to be a different person, and every monk who saw him was sent back with a few words. Gradually, a panic spread among the disciples of the Jinggang Sect, and it was rumored that Liu Ding had brought back bad news that Jinggang Mountain was likely to be abandoned.
Soon, these news spread to all the disciples of the Jinggang Sect.
Some of these loyal disciples, after running into a wall at Liu Fan's place, went to Dao Yiming, however, Dao Yiming had nothing to do except appease him. Because, he only saw Liu Ding once in the middle of the night, and after being reprimanded, he warned him not to meddle in the affairs of the sect.
It didn't take long for the disciples sent out by the Jinggang Sect to return to the mountain one after another. However, instead of bad news, they brought back good news. For some reason, the troublemakers sent by the small forces seemed to disappear overnight and never reappeared again.
The monks of the Jinggang Sect wishfully believed that the reason why Liu Ding behaved in the past was to cover people's eyes and ears, paralyze and troublesome the monks, and wait for them to relax their vigilance, and then wipe them out. In this way, even if other small forces know that the person behind the scenes is Liu Ding, it is difficult to become evidence based on his words and deeds, and they can only suffer dumb losses.
Therefore, the monks "understood in their hearts" and stopped talking about the matter.
Soon, the Jinggang Sect returned to normal, just as the small forces sent people to make trouble did not happen. As for Liu Ding, the ordinary monks of the Jinggang Sect had never met him, but Liu Fan announced to the public that his father had some experience during his training and was in retreat on the mountain.
After learning about it, the monks of the Jinggang Sect were even more happy.
After the surrounding small forces learned that the monks they sent were all wiped out, they knew that Liu Ding had returned to the mountain, and they heard that the other party's cultivation had increased greatly, and they did not dare to send people to make trouble.
In the following years, several small forces that could pose a threat to the Jinggang Sect either disappeared or fell, making the Jinggang Sect usher in a rare opportunity for development. During this period, they not only collected a large number of cultivation materials, but also two late-stage foundation building monks successfully formed a pill. In this way, in terms of the number of high-level monks, the Jinggang Sect has a great advantage, even if Liu Ding is not in Jingkong Mountain, he still has absolute control over the surrounding area.
Soon, Dao Yiming led the disciples in the sect to annex several small forces in the vicinity in one fell swoop, becoming the only immortal cultivation force in the nearby area.
However, in the later stage of the whole incident, another bad news spread among the monks, the monks who originally belonged to a small force frequently disappeared, and the spearhead gradually pointed at the Jinggang Sect.
Although most of the monks who heard this were disbelieving, because these small forces had already joined the Jinggang Sect, and their management was firmly in the hands of the Jing Kongzong, and the Jingkong Sect had no reason to make a move, the similar news that came one after another prevented them from beginning to doubt it.
Since then, in just a few years, nearly a hundred famous monks have disappeared inexplicably, and there are no powerful demon beasts in the nearby area, and it seems that only Jing Kongzong himself has the ability to do all this.
Immediately, a panic spread in the area controlled by the Jinggang Sect.
As early as the beginning of the incident, Liu Fan, as the sect master, didn't seem to care at all, and symbolically arranged for the disciples to visit, naturally, there were no clues. Later, Dao Yiming and the other two monks realized the seriousness of the situation and put pressure on Liu Fan together.
Although Liu Fan is the sect leader of the Jinggang Sect, his cultivation is not as good as Dao Yiming, and they are the elders of the sect, after Liu Fan heard it, he responded positively, but on the surface, he was respectful and made a big noise, but in fact, the investigation did not make any substantial progress. Liu Fan is Liu Ding's son, and Dao Yiming and others have nothing to do except scold.
Since Liu Ding had long declared to the outside world that at the critical moment of cultivation, he would not bother with the affairs of the sect until the time of the life and death of the Jinggang Sect, therefore, Dao Yiming and the other two Jiedan monks did not dare to bother with this matter, and could only supervise the actions of Liu Fan and the disciples of the sect.
The mountain behind Jinggang Mountain has always been inhabited by the highest cultivators in the sect. Since Liu Ding returned to the mountain, this place has been classified as a forbidden place, not to mention ordinary disciples, even the three elders such as Dao Yiming and the high-ranking members of the Jinggang Sect did not dare to trespass without permission.
One night, one of them escaped the guards and slipped quietly into the back mountain. In his eyes, the heavy formations arranged on the back mountain were all in vain, and they were all easily avoided. Obviously, his layout of the back mountain has reached the point where he is no longer familiar with it.
This person is none other than the current sect leader Liu Fan.
Liu Fan kept going all the way, and soon came to a quiet courtyard.
Different from the past, the air here is less beautiful and quiet, instead of gloomy and terrifying, Liu Fan saw this scene, did not show too much surprise, but with a respectful face, hurriedly saluted the courtyard: "Senior Deng, junior has something to see." ”
However, when he lowered his head, a trace of hatred quickly flashed in his eyes.
"What's the matter?" a slightly displeased voice slowly spoke.
"Uncle Dao and Uncle Yuan took turns to put pressure on the juniors, and they ...... There seems to be some suspicion. Although it was not the first time that Liu Fan had dealt with the other party, after hearing this voice, he still felt as if he had fallen into the ice of ten thousand years, and he couldn't help but shiver. He secretly used his spiritual power to gradually weaken this discomfort, and then hesitated and said.
"But what did you reveal?" the voice was silent for a moment, and then said coldly.
"For the things of the seniors, the juniors have always been tight-lipped about them. What's more, the lives of the younger generations are in the hands of the seniors, how dare the younger generations make mistakes. When Liu Fan heard this, he immediately sweated.
"Hmph, you don't dare!" the voice snorted.
"Senior Deng, how should the juniors deal with Senior Daoist and the other three senior uncles? After all, they are the elders of the juniors, and it is impossible for the juniors to restrain them, if they take action in person, will it hinder the cultivation of the juniors?" Seeing that the other party did not delve into it, Liu Fan asked worriedly.
"Hmph, it's just three Yuedan monks. There was a hint of disdain in that cold voice, and then he said, "It's up to them, you just need to try to appease those small forces who have returned to obedience, so that they don't seek the intervention of external forces, especially Huoye Mountain." ”
"Juniors understand!" Liu Fan responded respectfully, and bowed to the front: "If the seniors have no other instructions, the juniors will retire and send people to appease the remaining forces." ”
Seeing that there was no answer in the courtyard, Liu Fan didn't say anything more, turned around and left the back mountain.
About a month later, a small force that was friendly with Dao Yiming suddenly sent a disciple, saying that it was the great elder of the middle stage of the sect's Yudan, and there was no news since he went out a few days ago, and they had been searching for no success for a long time, and there was no better way, so they had to rush to Jinggang Mountain to seek help.
After Dao Yiming learned the news, he couldn't help but be anxious and angry, and went to see Liu Ding in person, but he had no choice but to touch his nose, so he had to continue to order Liu Fan to send someone to investigate, but he felt uneasy, so he left the mountain gate with another Jiedan monk and a few cronies and rushed to the small force station.
......
To the south of Jinggang Mountain, there is a narrow plain, where hundreds of millions of mortals live, who have established large and small countries for more than ten years. If you continue south, you will enter a boundless wilderness. Its area is so vast that it cannot be described by non-monks above the age of Yuanying.
It is rumored that in ancient times, the army of heavenly demons from outside the territory tried to invade the main continent of Xuanhuang from here, but was stubbornly resisted by the monks, and countless heavenly demons were killed, so that they never dared to set foot again, so later generations collectively called this area the forbidden demon ancient domain.
For a variety of reasons, it has gradually evolved into a forbidden place for humans.
And the retreat of the human race provided a rare opportunity for the development of demon beasts, and they took the opportunity to enter and control most of the forbidden demon ancient domain. According to the investigations of some major sects, in this area, more than half of the demon beasts of the Xuanhuang Continent live. Without the interference of monks and humans, many of them had cultivated to the fourth order, and some of them had even found traces of divine beasts.
Although the Forbidden Demon Ancient Domain is very dangerous, for monks, it is precisely because of its closure that some thousand-year-old and 10,000-year-old elixirs can be seen everywhere, and under this temptation, some monks choose to cultivate on the edge of the Forbidden Demon Ancient Domain, and over time, many sects have been formed.
Huoye Mountain is one of these sects.
The person who cultivated to the high level on Huoye Mountain was its great elder, and he was in the middle of the Yuan Infant. Among the surrounding sects, it is not considered top-notch. However, Huoye Mountain is long in refining weapons, so whether it is its own financial resources or influence, it is a few points stronger than a sect of the same size.
Tang Yan, one of the elders of Huoye Mountain, was a monk in the early days of the Yuan Dynasty.
If it was about refining weapon talent, no one in the entire Fire Industry Sect could compete with it. It was precisely because of his outstanding talent in refining weapons that he was favored by the great cultivators of various forces around him, and they befriended him at any cost, just to be able to customize a high-grade magic weapon that he had personally refined.
For the endless stream of people who come to the door to ask for weapons, Tang Yan did not accept all the orders, but raised the threshold and limited the quota, and there were only two outsiders who could get his refining tools every year. However, this year there was an exception, because the other party was a distinguished guest who came from millions of miles away.
On this day, Tang Yan personally handed over a refined high-grade magic weapon to the other party.
The other party is a monk of a large sect, if it weren't for the sake of inviting him to refine weapons, he wouldn't have come to Huoye Mountain, as a landlord, he couldn't snub the other party, so he chatted with the other party, and their topics, in addition to some anecdotes, also included cultivation experience.
The other party's sect has a deep background and extensive knowledge, and Tang Yan feels that he has benefited a lot. As he was listening, he suddenly frowned, and with a slight look of displeasure, he called in a disciple.
