Chapter 158: The Six Clans of Beiquan and the Beginning of the Great Ceremony
In Ren Zhongxing's room, a translucent lampshade hung in the center of the quiet room, and a burst of slightly cyan white light lit up, illuminating everything in the room.
Li Mu could see very clearly that what emitted this burst of light was not a candle, nor a natural light source such as the Night Pearl, nor was it a magic weapon that could only be refined by cultivators.
The blue-white light of this light was silently perched in the translucent lampshade, and when the time came, they suddenly woke up, struggling to burn with the not very bright light on their bodiesβthey were a group of firefly-like, but much more special.
The demon clan that seems to have no combat power, the "Glowing Worm", it seems that their existence is only to bring some light to the dark place.
Ren Zhongxing sat on the chair and asked Li Mu with a smile: "Senior Brother Li, are you a little surprised by this strange demon clan?"
Li Mu smiled faintly, in his heart, the feeling of this glowing insect was not only amazing, it was simply incredible and shocking. In the records of the Demon Race in the Demon Transformation Technique, the Glowing Confusion Clan is one of the top 100 powerful races in the Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms, and there is no lack of Saint Ancestors in its clan......
It is such a powerful race, in a place like the Xuanying Realm, but it is just an existence like a lamp, and the huge contrast makes his heart irrepressibly give birth to a strange feeling, and at the same time, he also feels deep shock and admiration for the existence of Yingchao - such a weak little insect, who can imagine that after a few years of cultivation, it can also become a powerful Holy Ancestor who turns his hands into clouds and covers his hands into rain?
The fleeting thing in Li Mu's eyes did not attract Ren Zhongxing's attention, and he just asked casually. Li Mu took a few steps forward, and after Ren Zhongxing made a "please" action, he took the opportunity to sit down on the chair next to him.
After a few casual greetings, Li Mu opened his mouth and asked straight to the point: "Senior Brother Ren, do you know if there is a demon king with an extremely long lifespan in this Beiquan Mountain demon clan?"
Ren Zhongxing asked rhetorically: "I don't know how long the 'extremely long' mentioned by Senior Brother Li is?"
"Three thousand years...... Above. β
Ren Zhongxing narrowed his eyes and turned his gaze to the lamp full of glowing insects, and then he suddenly stretched out his right hand and threw out a red light, killing all the little demon insects in the lamp.
The room suddenly fell into darkness, and the cold moonlight shone on the faces of the two people in the room through the translucent screen, and occasionally the wind and clouds moved, and the faces of the two people in the room flickered and darkened.
After a moment of silence, Ren Zhongxing spoke: "In this way, we can talk at will." β
Li Mu nodded, he found for the first time that the rough-looking man in front of him still had such a cautious and meticulous mind, it was really unseemly.
In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that even if they cleared this little demon worm, their conversation might not necessarily be completely confidential. It's just that after doing this, it can be regarded as adding some security to their hearts.
In the dark, Ren Zhongxing's voice was faint, with a bit of fascination and fear: "In Beiquan Mountain, it is rumored that the eldest demon clan is a tree demon. It should be more than 5,000 years old. In addition, there are at least three demon clans in Beiquan Mountain, all of whom are over three thousand years old. So what is certain is that there must be more than 3,000 demon clans in Beiquan Mountain. β
"Such a long lifespan means that their cultivation realm must have reached the transformation stage, and some may even enter the stage of the Great Demon King. β
Li Mu's eyes showed a little confused, and he said to Ren Zhongxing: "The Great Demon King of the Wind and the Feather Wind invited me to send here, aren't you afraid of causing the dissatisfaction of your predecessors?"
Ren Zhongxing showed a smile on his face: "It seems that Senior Brother Li also understands the old grudges against my faction and Beiquan Mountain." Then isn't Senior Brother Li afraid that those big demon kings will be angry and directly attack us people?"
Li Mu's face was calm, and under the illumination of the moonlight, there was a little hazy color: "I believe in the consideration of the predecessors of the sect, and I also believe that the measurement of several great demon kings will not be so small that even our envoys can't tolerate it, and if these demon kings really want to be unfavorable to us, it is impossible for us to enter this Beiquan Mountain unharmed." β
Ren Zhongxing stood up, walked back and forth in the dark, and asked casually: "Senior Brother Li, do you think there may be any disputes over the matter of the Great Demon King of Beiquan Mountain accepting apprentices-I just received news that it is said that the people of the Seven Swords Sect have not yet arrived, and I don't know if they will come." β
"The Seven Swords Sect will also be afraid of the persecution of the Beiquan Mountain Demon Clan?" This thought flashed through Li Mu's mind, and then he shook his head and said, "In my opinion, the people of the Seven Swords Sect will most likely come before the start of tomorrow's celebration. And when they arrive, they will definitely make a big show and make a lot of pomp. β
Ren Zhongxing applauded, laughed, and had something to say: "Senior Brother Li is worthy of being a scholar, full of poetry and books, and really has extraordinary insights on the art of balancing power. The foolish brother also thought that the Seven Swords Sect would come tomorrow, and it would come with great fanfare, but I don't know, how will Beiquan Mountain deal with it then?"
"If there is a certain Sword Venerable among the people from the Seven Swords Sect, I am afraid that the Great Wind Demon King will personally go out to welcome him into the mountain. The Sword Venerable of the Seven Swords Sect, will he come here to take risks?"
Ren Zhongxing's face showed a little fascination, and then he showed a slightly gloomy expression, but he suddenly closed his mouth and stopped talking.
The Seven Swords Sect has five extremely powerful Sword Venerables, as well as an unknown number of Yuanying Cultivators, and in the huge Xuanming Sect, there is only one Yuanying Monk on the bright side, so how can he not feel a little lost?
The clearer his understanding of the Xuanying Realm, the clearer it became in Li Mu's heart that he was one of the five major factions, even if the Xuanming Sect was at the bottom, it was impossible for him to have such a huge gap with the Seven Swords Sect.
The so-called Xuanming faction only has one Yuanying True Monarch in charge, which is just a lie to confuse the outside world. In the entire Xuanming Sect, there must be at least four or more Yuanying Monks to be worthy of its title of "one of the five major factions".
But even if the facts matched his guess, the fact that the strength of the Xuanming Sect was far inferior to that of the Seven Sword Sect was still an indisputable fact.
This proud son of the refining department, Ren Zhongxing, after the refining master, felt melancholy and loss about this, which is also reasonable and appropriate.
Li Mu's eyes flashed, and he continued to ask: "Lingxiao Zhenren mentioned the five major clans of Beiquan Mountain before, could it be that the five most powerful demon clans in Beiquan Mountain?"
Ren Zhongxing put away his sorrowful face and said lightly: "Everyone in the world knows that there are five major tribes in Beiquan Mountain-the Eagle Clan of the Splitting Sky, the Bear Clan of the Mountain, the Wolf Clan of the Howling Moon, the Tiger Clan of the Water Controlling Clan, and the Ape Clan of the Cave, but I don't know that in addition to these five clans, there is also a mysterious demon clan, whose strength is not inferior to these five demon clans. β
"It's just that the members of this demon clan have always been very few, and they rarely appear in the world. β
Li Mu showed a little interest on his face, and asked, "What kind of tribe is this demon clan?"
"I don't know. β
Li Mu was stunned, and asked with a smile: "Senior Brother Ren, is this a joke?"
Ren Zhongxing's face remained unchanged: "I really don't know." I also listened to my senior brother tell this legend, but he didn't tell me the true face and name of that demon clan. Maybe this time, we will be able to meet the monk of this mysterious demon clan?"
Li Mu remembered something and asked, "That ape demon called this place 'Xuanxiao Palace', why is this? And for the demon clan, there doesn't seem to be any need for such a gorgeous and grand palace complex." β
"This palace was ordered to be built after this generation of Beiquan Mountain Lord Feng Qingyu took office. This palace is carefully built according to the mold of the palaces of various countries under the jurisdiction of the five major human races. The 'Xuanxiao Palace' where we live is built in imitation of the imperial city of the capital of the Great Qi Kingdom, and its name is directly based on the mountain gate of my faction. β
"From this point, we can also roughly see the attitude of this person Feng Qingyu towards my human race. After all, I had never seen that demon king before, and he would build a palace that catered to his preferences for the Terran monks who sent an envoy. β
Li Mu nodded thoughtfully, Feng Qingyu was in such a posture, and what he was planning was really unpredictable.
......
The night passed quietly, and in the early morning of Beiquan Mountain, the warm sun rose exceptionally early.
Li Mu pushed open the door, walked slowly to the door, stood still, and took a deep breath.
On Xuanxiao Peak, there was an invisible magic circle, and after the sunlight shone in, it always gave him a false feeling of unreality. In this mountain gate of the demon clan, there is no magic circle, except for this palace, everything is the closest posture to nature.
This sunshine also seems extraordinarily real and rare.
It's just that in his feelings, there seems to be something missing in this sunshine. It was a mysterious power that could cause the Yuan Lingzhu to move, and it was this power that changed his bloodline.
Ren Zhongxing also walked out of his hut, and immediately after, the sound of opening the door came, and everyone from the Xuanming Sect also walked out of their respective rooms.
Facing the morning sun that was not dazzling, everyone stood in several rows according to their generations, quietly waiting for the arrival of the two real people.
The wind rises on the flats.
The desolate trumpet sounded again, but the tune was a little more passionate than yesterday, a little more distant and quaint, and more, an indescribable sense of vastness.
The world is so big that everything is silent for a while, and in everyone's ears, only the sound of the horn remains.
The footsteps of the two real people sounded, Lingxiao's long beard fluttered in the wind, and there seemed to be a little smile on his face, but Lingtong's ordinary-looking face was expressionless.
With the sound of the horn, the two of them walked slowly and stood in front of everyone.
The wind stopped suddenly.
The trumpets stopped, the bells rang, and the drums sounded again.
Ling Xiao put away the smile on his face, and his expression suddenly became extremely serious.
There seemed to be a hint of shock on Lingtong's expressionless face.
What happened? Li Mu was puzzled, but he could only think about it. (To be continued.) )
