Strange mountains and rivers

Just when Chen Huaisheng and his party arrived at Taohua Island, the flying boat that passed by them on the sea had already circled and flew back to Ziyun Mountain.

This is the mountain gate of Ziyang Sect.

"You mean you saw a Purple Mansion True Lord on the Holy Fire Sect's flying raft, not one of the Holy Fire Sect's people?" The old man with white beard stroked his beard, his face solemn, "High level of marrow accumulation? Looks very young, how young?"

"Fifty or sixty years old? Of course, this is just the surface appearance, because he just flashed across the way, and I can only sense that he is in the Purple Mansion marrow accumulation realm. The others can only be seen at a glance, so it's hard to be sure." Huo Zhen tried his best to recall the situation at that time, "There are three people on it. One of them I have seen is a foundation-building cultivator from the Holy Fire Sect. I have never seen the other two, but they are all cultivators at the Qi Refining level and can be ignored."

"A Purple Mansion in the high level of marrow accumulation, this is a bit strange, he is not from the Dong family, nor from the Jinding Sect, right?" The old man with white beard asked again, but he knew that there were only so many Purple Mansions in the whole Wu Yue country, and he had some impression of them more or less. And if he was very young as Huo Zhen said, then he would be even more outstanding, and it is impossible not to know him.

"No! The Dong family is busy with their own affairs, so how could they let the Purple Mansion Master go out? As for those people from the Golden Tripod Sect, I would recognize them even if they turned into ashes." Huo Zhen shook his head: "Brother, they must be from outside the domain, either independent cultivators from the sea, or helpers from Da Zhao. Could it be that the Holy Fire Sect has noticed something?"

"Impossible." The white-bearded man shook his head decisively: "We are still deliberately dragging our feet and haven't reached an agreement with the Dong family yet, how could the Holy Fire Sect notice it? It's not so easy to ask for external help, and it's not easy to repay the favors owed. Yan Yunxing is a proud and arrogant person. He won't ask for help unless it's absolutely necessary. Moreover, the Holy Fire Sect has been independent for so many years. Wu Yue doesn't have any strong connections, and the same is true for Da Zhao..."

"Then how could a Purple Mansion Master suddenly appear at this critical moment? Although he is in the marrow-enriching realm, one more Purple Mansion will add a few more variables, which makes people feel uneasy." Huo Zhen told the truth.

The white-bearded old man was also a little unsure.

Everyone knows the number of Purple Mansion True Lords in the sects and aristocratic families in Wu Yue. One more or one less is not such a simple matter. Even if you successfully pass the tribulation and enter the Purple Mansion, you must have come from the peak of the foundation building stage. The cultivators at the peak of the foundation building stage have long been calculated in the minds of each family. It is impossible to suddenly change from a Qi Refining level cultivator to the Purple Mansion.

"Don't be too nervous. There are only five Purple Mansion True Lords in the Holy Fire Sect now. Qin Zhaoye has not recovered yet. Although Liu Chuiyang has entered the Purple Mansion, he is only at the initial stage of marrow accumulation. As long as we act according to our plan, we should be able to achieve our goal." The old man with a white beard lowered his head and thought for a while, "But it also sounded a warning bell for us. This kind of uncertainty always exists, so we have to calculate more, just in case."

"Then senior brother, will the Kong family still follow the original plan?" Huo Zhen asked in a deep voice.

"Well, what can they accomplish with their half-heartedness?" The old man with white beard curled his lips viciously: "Fortunately, the Dong family finally understood the current situation and didn't think that if they could solve the Holy Fire Sect, even if they just crippled it, everyone's life would be much more comfortable in the future... Then we should prepare according to the plan, confirm the intelligence one by one, and determine the best time..."

****

After all, they had to meet each other. Chen Huaisheng was mentally prepared and was not stage-frightened.

However, it was normal to feel a little embarrassed. He came from afar just to take advantage of the saint of the sect. He felt that he would definitely not be welcomed.

Chen Huaisheng's arrival still caused a violent shock in Taohua Island. The main reason was that Chen Huaisheng's changes were too great, so great that people couldn't believe it.

Qi Refining Seventh Level, Foundation Building Sixth Level, and then the Purple Mansion Marrow High Level, the changes in ten years were so huge that they were unprecedented and unparalleled.

Moreover, everyone in the Holy Fire Sect also learned from Yu Fengqian that although Chen Huaisheng was still nominally under the name of Chonghua Sect, in fact, with the withdrawal of Chonghua Sect from Hebei, Chen Huaisheng was already an independent mountain in Dahuai Mountain, Weihuai Dao, Yanzhou. In addition to his own high-level Purple Mansion Yunsui realm, there was also a True Lord in the middle realm of Purple Mansion Ninghun. This was a real structure and a pattern, and he was no longer the lone Chonghua disciple in the past.

Receiving such a person, it was not as casual as before. In addition, Chen Huaisheng came for a purpose, which was to pick the pearl of the Holy Fire Sect. There had to be an explanation for the Holy Fire Sect’s leaders, so this meeting was also quite formal. Several of the Holy Fire Sect’s leaders on the island were all present. Except for Yan Yunxing who was out, everyone else was there, including Qin Zhaoye.

When Chen Huaisheng entered the hall, he saw Qin Zhaoye still sitting on the left. From Yu Fengqian, he knew that position was the position of the Holy Fire Sect’s Sect Guardian, and on the right was the position of the Holy Fire Sect’s Sect Guardian, who was also an acquaintance, Qu Chan.

The other two sitting at the bottom, Liu Chuiyang is Yu Fengqian's master, Chen Huaisheng certainly knows him, but the other middle-aged man with thin eyebrows and thin lips Chen Huaisheng has never seen before, he should be Yao Yunjun.

It can be seen that the Holy Fire Sect still values ​​friendship, Qin Zhaoye has fallen into the Purple Mansion, but still remains in the position of Sect Guardian.

However, Yu Fengqian also mentioned that Qin Zhaoye had mentioned several times that he wanted to resign from the position of the sect guardian, but Yan Chixing did not agree. However, it is estimated that Qin Zhaoye will propose it again this time, and he is particularly determined. It is estimated that the sect will agree that the position of the sect guardian will be taken over by Qu Chan, and the position of the sect protector will be given to Yao Yunjun.

Chen Huaisheng's eyes only turned, and he had already retracted them and fell on Yan Chixing who was sitting in the middle.

Just like the last time they met a few years ago, he was still in the high level of Purple Mansion Runpo, and he could not advance to the peak of Purple Mansion. It seems that this person has encountered a bottleneck now.

Qu Chan has not changed either, he is still in the high level of Ninghun, Yao Yunjun is in the high level of Yunsui, just like himself, Liu Chuiyang is in the initial level of Yunsui, and there is no one Yan Yunxing. Chen Huaisheng remembered that he was in the middle level of Yunsui a few years ago. I don't know what the situation is now.

The Holy Fire Sect is the fifth sect in Wuyue. It is considered a large sect in Wuyue, but the more powerful ones in Wuyue are the aristocratic families.

Of course, this does not mean that every aristocratic family is stronger than these sects, but they are numerous and have many intermarriages, so they have formed some interest groups, and the Qian family, Dong family, Gu family, and Yu family are some of the leaders of these groups.

Some aristocratic families may have only one or two Purple Mansion True Lords in the family, but if three or five families gather together, it is also a very large group of forces.

"Meet Master Yan, Master Qin, Master Qu, Master Yao, Master Liu,..."

Chen Huaisheng stepped forward and bowed. There are many etiquettes in the world of cultivation. You can either hold your fists in front of your chest or hold your hands in front of your belly. There are not many rules.

Yan Chixing was still very polite and stood up to return the greeting. As soon as he stood up, others also stood up and returned the greeting one by one.

After a few pleasantries, it was Yao Yunjun who spoke first: "Master Chen has never seen me, but can you recognize me at a glance?"

"The five elders of the Holy Fire Sect have naturally become the six elders with Master Liu's entry into the Purple Palace. Although I have never seen Master Yao, I have heard of his great name for a long time, and Feng Qian often mentioned him to me..."

Hearing Chen Huaisheng calling "Feng Qian" by name, except for Yan Chixing and Liu Chuiyang, the others couldn't help but frown slightly, obviously still not satisfied with Chen Huaisheng's attitude.

Besides, she had a private affair with Yu Fengqian, but Yu Fengqian was the Saint of the Holy Fire Sect after all. Before the sect freed the Saint, she couldn't have a private affair. Of course, it was reasonable that the two of them didn't mess around.

But for everyone, watching Yu Fengqian, who grew up in the sect, become someone else's woman, this taste was still not very comfortable.

Chen Huaisheng keenly observed that Qin Zhaoye frowned and felt a little sad.

Obviously, his words "Five Elders of Holy Fire" had stimulated him a little.

Now that he had fallen into the Purple Palace, he could not become an elder in theory, and he was no longer "old". In the past few years, he had always thought that he could return to the Purple Palace by repairing himself, but now it seemed a little slim. As he got older, this possibility became smaller and smaller. He was not the kind of person who would cling to the throne. If he did not have the strength, he should abdicate and let others take over. This was also necessary to maintain the healthy development of the sect.

Chen Huaisheng was confident and calm, and bowed again: "Chen and Feng Qian have been in love for many years. Feng Qian is the Holy Maiden of the Holy Fire Sect. Chen also knows that Meng Lang came this time. I also ask the elders to consider Feng Qian's sincerity to the Holy Fire Sect and help him..."

"You also know Meng Lang?" Qu Chan sneered, "I heard that you already have a Taoist partner in Dahuai Mountain, but now you are fickle and come to ask Feng Qian. How can you dare to do this?"

Chen Huaisheng also knew that this matter could not be avoided, so he just bowed and saluted, "I dare not forget to say anything else, but with my full affection."

It is common for male cultivators to have multiple female Taoist partners. It is not a big deal. Qu Chan pretended to be indignant, which can be regarded as clearing the mines for Chen Huaisheng.

Although it is a pity for Yu Fengqian, it cannot ruin her life. Moreover, even if Yu Fengqian forms a Taoist partner with Chen Huaisheng, he may not always stay in Dahuai Mountain. He can return to Taohua Island many times.

He had a good impression of Chen Huaisheng, and he also felt that Chen Huaisheng had a bright future. He was far away in Hebei, and had no conflict of interest with the Holy Fire Sect. He could become a distant supporter in the future.

Chen Huaisheng's shameless words made everyone speechless. At this point, everyone had already prepared themselves mentally, so they were just fighting for Yu Fengqian on the surface, and they had to agree in the end.
