Chapter 1: When the father suffers humiliation, the son will surely avenge him

  "It doesn't matter." Ming Xiao waved his hand, his eyes fell on the Earth Spirit Gate group, and then he cupped his hands to Xuan Qing: "Xuan Qing fellow Daoist, it's been a long time since we met. Your cultivation has made another breakthrough, congratulations are in order!"

  Although he congratulated with his mouth, this person's face was gloomy and expressionless, his voice was icy cold, without a hint of joy.

  Xuan Qing heard this and didn't get angry, instead he smiled and returned the courtesy: "Calculating the days, it's been twenty years since we last met. My friend Ming Xiao's demeanor remains unchanged, his cultivation has become even more refined."

  Ming Xiao heard the words and hummed, not responding. Xuan Qing also stroked his beard and smiled, saying: "Since we've met, why don't we go in together? Today, you and I can exchange our cultivation experiences."

  "Good." Ming Xiao thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

  Just as the two were about to leave, they simultaneously raised their heads, their eyes flashing like lightning, scanning the northern horizon.

  "Hehe, it seems another fellow daoist has arrived. Why don't we wait a bit and catch up before heading to our lodgings?" Sensing a few wisps of aura, Xuan Qing's eyes flickered slightly as he spoke in a calm tone.

  He didn't leave, his expressionless face seemed to be agreeing with what he said.

  In an instant, three huge black shadows came rolling in, which were the two large and one small giant toads.

  This toad's entire body is a dark greenish-black color, its back densely covered with countless pustules, each several feet in size, emitting different colors of red, orange, yellow and green, clearly a highly toxic substance.

  At this moment, on the back of the abscess, there were monks sitting in a full lotus position. The old man with three births from the same mother, who had been squatting at the head of the toad, now stood up with a respectful expression.

  "Lie Yan Zong Xuan Wu Jiao brought his disciples from the sect."

  "I've met Senior Xuan Qing before."

  "I've seen Master Ming's predecessor."

  The three of them continued speaking one sentence each in this manner.

  "The three Daoist friends don't have to be so polite, I wonder why the master of Tianji Sect didn't come in person?" Xuanqing's eyebrows slightly furrowed, he had already discovered through his divine sense before they arrived that the people who came were only led by the three Xuan brothers, while the sect master of Lieyan Sect, Tianji Zi, did not come in person.

  Although the three brothers of the Xuan family were born to the same mother and cultivated the same technique, they all reached the later stage of foundation building. Their hearts and minds were connected, their powers complemented each other, and together they could rival a Golden Elixir cultivator for a while. However, at this moment, it was still not enough to represent the Blazing Inferno Clan at the Condensing Elixir Grand Ceremony of the Medicine King's Sect.

  Lie Yan Sect and Luo Yun Valley have always been at odds, now coincidentally it is the time for the two sects' hundred-yearly struggle for dominance. Lie Yan Sect doing this, are they indicating compromise?

  Xuan Qing furrowed her brow secretly in her heart.

  That Ming Xiao's face was expressionless, and it was unknown what he was thinking in his heart.

  "The master is in seclusion."

  "Unable to come in person."

  "We three have been specially ordered to apologize to Senior Yakudōshi."

  Three people explained briefly.

  "Uh, since we're all here, I'm sure Qingyunzi and Yaodao will not blame you. Since you've come, let's go to the resting place together. Our sect rarely moves around, so this is a good opportunity to get closer." Xuanqing said with a hint of interest.

  Although the relationship between Diliang Gate, Heixiao Gate and Luoyun Valley has always been good except for Lieyan Gate, at this moment Luoyun Valley's two Golden Elixirs have caused a surge in their strength. They are forced to be on guard against them to maintain balance. Although it is still difficult to avoid Luoyun Valley becoming the dominant force in Beihua State, at least they should make them cautious and not dare to be too arrogant.

  Nangong Zhen heard this and his eyes flashed with a strange color, and he nodded slightly.

  The three brothers of the Xuan family saw this and a few points of joy flashed in their eyes, and they immediately chorused in agreement.

  Under the leadership of several dozen cultivators from the Lu Yun Valley, nearly a hundred people from the three major sects rushed towards the welcoming area of Lu Yun Valley.

  After the three sects left, Mo Li's eyes flashed with a hint of unease, and he gave some brief instructions before hastily leaving with several foundation repair monks. At this point, all the major sects in Beihua State had arrived, and the remaining small fry were handed over to the disciples to receive.

  Behind the Cloudy Valley, inside a certain secret room on the back mountain.

  At this moment, Mo Lizi's face was solemn and respectful, standing in the room with his hands hanging down, recounting the events that had just occurred on the Welcome Immortal Platform.

  "Head of the sect, Uncle Medicine Master, we can't help but intervene in this matter. If they unite as three clans, the situation will be unfavorable to us." Mo Li lowered his head, but a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes. This Daoist previously had a high status within the sect due to his exceptional alchemy skills, and was considered a peer by him. However, at this moment, the other party had already condensed his dan, holding an extremely noble identity and position, while he remained stuck in the late stage of foundation building, his mental state inevitably somewhat unbalanced.

  "Junior brother, what do you think should be done about this matter?" The master of Luoyun Valley was a man who looked over 70 years old, but was still spirited and sharp-minded. He was known as Qingyunzi, and his cultivation had long ago reached the peak of the Golden Elixir middle stage. However, he was already over 400 years old this year, with no hope of having children, so he devoted all his energy to developing and expanding the sect.

  At this moment, his eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled and asked the Medicine Daozi who was sitting cross-legged on a nearby couch.

  "I, Yun Gu Valley's one door two golden elixirs, have strength far surpassing theirs. The benefits that should be obtained will not be lacking in the slightest. Their actions are merely a way of showing us their attitude, and ignoring them is enough." After condensing the dan, Yao Daozi looked even younger by several years, and the white hair on his head also turned completely black, making him look like a middle-aged man in his fifties at this moment.

  "Heh heh, my junior brother is right. In the Cultivation Realm, strength is revered. Since I, Qingyunzi, am stronger than them, it's only natural that I should obtain more cultivation resources. Xuanci and Mingxia should understand this in their hearts." Qingyunzi smiled faintly and waved his hand, but immediately furrowed his brow, "This time, Tianji didn't come. With his cautious nature, he wouldn't make such a mistake. Is there something amiss here?"

  "This matter is somewhat suspicious." Yao Daozi heard the words and flashed a few points of doubt in his eyes, but still shook his head and said: "Tomorrow is the day of the grand ceremony, even if they have any plans, with you and me sitting here, we are not afraid of their tricks."

  "Indeed, Young Master's words are reasonable." Qingyunzi's expression slightly cleared up upon hearing this, and he immediately waved his hand, saying: "Mo Li, you may withdraw for now. Don't bother with the matters of the three sects; just let them be."

  "Yes." Mo Li slightly lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth to say: "Master, it's been half a year since my nephew, Mo Cheng, was murdered. I wonder if any clues have been found?"

  At this moment, Mo Li's heart was filled with excitement and joy. He had unintentionally returned to the secular world and discovered that among his descendants, there was a young man who possessed a spiritual root and showed great potential. Overjoyed, he brought him back to the sect and took him under his wing, teaching him wholeheartedly.

  This child is indeed worthy, in just three short years he has reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, bringing great comfort to Mo Li's heart. He was even planning to cultivate him with all his might and make him his successor. Unexpectedly, just half a year ago, he suddenly sensed that the seal placed within Mo Cheng's body had been broken by someone, and the Yuanshen Jade Slip left behind by Mo Cheng had also shattered, clearly indicating that he had been murdered.

  New book rankings are moving forward, haha, all brothers are mighty! Also, continue to ask for red tickets and collections!
