At noon, the golden crow is high in the sky.
When Ji Jiu Huo, Ji Ning and others were setting up a large array on Niujiao Mountain to practice and familiarize themselves with the array, many Zifu disciples from Xuelong Mountain had already gathered at "Xuelong City" in Yanshan. A huge curtain was floating high above Xuelong City, with tables, fruit plates, wine and water placed on top of it.
Only saw a group of monks sitting cross-legged at random, pushing cups and changing plates, and they were quite content.
"This time, the number of people invited by Zidong's junior brother is really large. The fellow disciples from all over Yanshan are almost all invited." A long-bearded old man holding a beast-headed wine cup said to the silver-haired monk beside him, "How long has it been? More than ten purple mansion monks have already gathered."
"The more Zifu disciples we have, the better we can practice our Xue Long Shan combined formation technique!" The silver-haired cultivator smiled, "In that case, no matter how many tricks that little Ji Clan has up their sleeve, as long as we fellow sect members join forces... it will be a piece of cake."
"Little Ji family, why do you need so many Purple Mansion cultivators?" The old man with the long beard shook his head. He had also come to earn a share of the merit, and after they seized the Yuan Stone mine vein, the sect would distribute the merit according to their contributions. Those who participated would receive a share of the merit based on the size of their contribution. But the more cultivators there were, the smaller each person's share of the merit would be.
When they talked one by one.
As the host, Dongzi Qi naturally held wine and water to chat with everyone. He was also quite famous among his fellow disciples and was considered a very outstanding figure. Everyone gave him face. However, most of the time, Dongzi Qi still accompanied Tong Yu Shixiong.
Tong Yu's face had a golden glow, and he sat cross-legged with an aura of dominance. The earth dragon beside him shrank to several meters in length, lying there and occasionally swallowing some meat food.
Next to him were three more powerful junior brothers, Dongzi Qi and others, accompanying him.
"This time Brother Tong Yu has come, no matter what tricks the Ji family uses, they will be of no use. In fact, we are just following along and taking a share of the credit."
"It's been over thirty years since I last saw my senior fellow disciple."
One by one, they flattered and fawned over him.
After all, the Tong Yu brother in front of him can fight head-on with an ordinary Wanxiang True Person just by virtue of his strength! Relying on his divine powers, killing these Zi Fu cultivators is like slaughtering chickens. Moreover, they have also heard that Brother Tong Yu is currently in seclusion to seek a breakthrough. If he doesn't break through, it's fine, but if he succeeds, he will become a strong Shendan practitioner at the Wanxiang True Person level.
At that time, Tong Yu's senior brother's status will suddenly soar to the sky. He will become a big figure in the sect, so it's better to take advantage of the opportunity to build some relationships early on.
"Huh?" Dongzi Qi turned his head to look up at the high sky.
In the distance, a flying bird flew over with a man in beast skin. The flying bird was just an ordinary flying bird, not a congenital great demon. The man in beast skin shouted directly: "Snow Dragon Mountain's cultivators, I am here to inform you on behalf of our clan leader that our Ji Clan Leader and the Zifu Cultivators are setting up a large formation at Niuhorn Mountain, 800 miles outside Wanjian City, waiting for Snow Dragon Mountain's cultivators to come and break it!"
After finishing speaking, the beast skin man rode on the flying bird and left.
"Zhang Kuang little brat, watch me take him down." A triangular-eyed black-robed Zifu cultivator immediately spoke coldly and was about to make a move.
"Stop." A faint voice came over.
San Jiao Yan Zi Fu Xiu Shi took a look and saw that the one speaking was Tong Yu, the senior sitting in the main seat, and immediately didn't dare to make a move.
"We are also cultivators who have embarked on the path of immortality, while he is just a mortal messenger. To lower ourselves to kill him would be to tarnish the reputation of Snow Dragon Mountain." Tong Yu said calmly, "He dares to openly set up a large formation with his small Ji clan. Let us go and break it. My fellow disciples from Snow Dragon Mountain must naturally display our absolute strength. We will overwhelm them completely."
"What the senior brother said is true."
"What elder brother said makes sense."
"Our strength far surpasses that of the Ji Clan, and this is the right path." The various Purple Mansion cultivators all nodded in agreement.
Tong Yu said, "However, the Ji clan dared to come and inform us directly. I believe there must be some tricks up their sleeves, these tribes have been rooted for thousands of years... perhaps they have some formidable moves. Fellow disciples should not be careless, be more careful, hold a cautious heart... with our strength, destroying the Ji clan is naturally not a problem."
"Hmm." Each of them nodded in agreement, but they already knew this principle. However, when Tong Yu spoke, they naturally had to listen obediently.
……
About two hours passed, and another wave of three Zifu disciples arrived. These newly arrived three Zifu disciples saw so many fellow disciples present, especially after seeing Tong Yu, naturally took Tong Yu as their leader. Although several Zifu disciples went to chat with Tong Yu, he only responded casually.
"Huh?" Tong Yu's eyes lit up as he gazed into the distance, and even put down the wine cup with the beast head on it.
In the distance, a white crane broke through the air, with two purple mansion cultivators sitting on top. One was Mu Si, who had gone to invite his fellow disciple this time, and the other was a cultivator wearing ordinary beast skin, with disheveled hair. The cultivator's eyes shone like stars, and just looking at him made one's heart calm involuntarily.
"Zi Dao is now our Master." Dong Zi Qi immediately stood up.
"Go and welcome Master Zidao." Tong Yu stood up.
Tong Yu got up to welcome him, and naturally, many other Zifu Palace cultivators also stood up to welcome him. They were all very enthusiastic.
Nong Zidao...
That is a well-known figure in the surrounding area of Yanshan, and Tong Yu only entered Xuedragon Mountain after being a loose cultivator! Nong Zidao was raised by Xuedragon Mountain from an early age and is a member of the powerful 'Nong' clan. He is also a famous array master among the younger generation of Xuedragon Mountain, and his cultivation method is very profound. In the future, he has the opportunity to become a True Person of Ten Thousand Images.
Such a person is very difficult to invite, in theory.
"Unexpectedly, Dongzi Qi was able to invite Nongzidao as well." The various Zifu Sect disciples were secretly shocked.
"Junior Brother." Tong Yu smiled and welcomed him, "I thought it would take some more time for Junior Brother to arrive, didn't expect you to come so soon."
"Tong Yu, senior brother." The crane landed on the canvas, and Nong Zidao also walked down, "I heard that Senior Brother Tong Yu has invited me to share a portion of the merit. Naturally, I wouldn't dare to slack off. With my crane as a substitute for the road, I'll arrive slightly faster than the other junior brothers and sisters."
The two of them chatted with each other but didn't speak with any of their fellow disciples, and the Zizhu cultivators also thought it was only natural.
"Nongzi, you have done a great job this time."
"With the arrival of Master Zidao, I can finally put my mind at ease." Dongzi Qi said in a row, "Before that, both Master Tongyu and I were worried about the formation... Although the Ji clan is a small tribe, it also has a history of thousands of years. This time they set up a big array for the survival of the tribe, which must be extraordinary. My heart was still anxious before, but now that Master Zidao is here, everything becomes simple."
"Zi Dao Shixiong is here, and the small array of the Ji family can be easily broken."
"It can be easily broken."
One by one, the Zifu monks nodded in agreement with smiles on their faces.
Nong Zidao nodded slightly, he was skilled in array techniques and was quite valued within the sect, but after all, he was just a Purple Mansion cultivator and did not enter the Wàn Xiàng... His position would never be high. And next to him, Tóng Yù, relying on his divine ability, had the strength of a true Wàn Xiàng cultivator. Plus, he wasn't old, it was completely possible for him to break through. He naturally wanted to get along well and this time it was an easy task to earn merit, so of course, he would do it.
"When Brother Zi Dao arrived, we now have a total of nineteen Zifu disciples." Tong Yu said with a glance around, "Including my earth dragon and Brother Zi Dao's crane, we can be considered twenty-one Zifu disciples."
Everyone nodded.
Tong Yu's senior brother took a glance at Nong Zi Dao by his side. The two exchanged gazes, and in an instant, it was settled.
"Our strength is absolutely superior, and we also have Zi Dao as our junior. Since that's the case, we don't need to delay any further. Let's set off for Niujiao Mountain right now! As for the fellow disciples who will be arriving later, Zi Qi, you arrange for someone to wait here and inform them that we've already headed to Niujiao Mountain."
"Alright." Dongzi Qi Lian responded, Tong Yu Shixiong and Nong Zidao made the decision, and those who came later as fellow disciples didn't dare to say more.
"Alright, let's go."
"We have so many fellow disciples, enough to wipe out the Ji family."
"There are also Tong Yu and Zi Dao brothers, the big deal is settled." Every purple mansion cultivator agreed, because the more purple mansion cultivators came, the more merits would be divided. They set off first... First, they will solve the Ji family's problem, so they will occupy the main merit. Latecomers can only drink some soup at most.
"Dongzi Qi directly transmitted the sound to the clansmen inside Xuelong City: 'You wait inside the city, once my other fellow disciples arrive, you will say... Brother Tong Yu and Brother Zi Dao have taken the lead with the others to Cow Horn Mountain.'"
"Yes, Clan Leader." The city had its own innate spirits ready to welcome the Zifu Cultivators afterwards.
"We're leaving." Dongzi Qi said with a smile.
Wow!
The canvas suddenly tore through the air and went away.
This group of Zifu disciples were sitting on a canvas, clinking glasses and having a great time. For them, this trip to Niujiao Mountain was just an excuse for a fun outing, extremely relaxing.
……
Niú Jiǎo Shān
The sun has now reached the western hills, and the sunset glow envelops the earth, making this vast wilderness and Ox Horn Mountain seem to be covered with a layer of red gauze.
The Ji family group had already finished their rehearsal and were resting, each with confident eyes full of expectation. If at the beginning they were completely desperate and even held a fatal mentality... then now they already have enough confidence to fight against Xue Long Shan. Ji Jiu Huo even said: "They won't be able to break through unless dozens of Purple Mansion cultivators die." His tone was filled with murderous anticipation.
Such a large formation... The Zifu disciples of Xuelong Mountain will definitely die in large numbers within the formation.
"This bottle of yuan liquid." Ji Ning was holding the jade bottle and said to the clan leader, "I previously cultivated only a little over 30%, and there is still some left. This time in response to Xue Long Shan, my Ji family cannot be careless at all, this yuan liquid can also be useful at critical moments, please keep it safe."
Just as Ji Ning said this, Ji Youzhen suddenly shouted: "Look, look at the North!"
"Huh?" Everyone turned their heads to look.
Standing at the top of Ox Horn Mountain, one could see a huge curtain flying in from afar in the high sky. On the curtain, there were rows of seats, and some purple-robed Taoist priests sat cross-legged, pushing cups and changing plates, enjoying themselves. One person stood on the curtain looking this way, it was that Dongzi Qi!
