Chapter 1258: Crisis lurks, ceremony takes place
The next morning, after some people spread the news that the Heavenly Demon Sect was forced to retreat and Dao Zong successfully recovered the border of thousands of miles, it instantly caused an uproar in the Jiuzhou Continent.
No one expected that the previously powerful Heavenly Demon Sect would suddenly choose to swallow its anger.
Even the old demon Tan Tai, who was known as the second on the Heavenly Ranking, did not show up from beginning to end. This undoubtedly caused a lot of discussion among the major immortal sects, and they secretly speculated whether the old demon had an accident, otherwise how could he swallow this breath?
As the initiator, Qin Tian was once again pushed to the forefront because of the matter of forcing the two old-fashioned mid-stage Yuanying to retreat, and the reputation of the True Lord of Demon Dang became more and more famous.
After this incident, the major immortal sects no longer dared to have any doubts about the strength of Dao Zong, and sent their powerful people to the Qifeng Mountains in Youzhou to attend the ceremony.
Even some large forces that were originally at odds with Dao Zong were frightened by this series of events, and hurriedly brought gifts to Youzhou to seek peace.
As the day of the grand ceremony approached, powerful people from all over Jiuzhou came in droves, making the originally peaceful Youzhou suddenly become lively.
As the capital of Youzhou, Fengming Fairy City is more prosperous than ever before, and the brilliance of the teleportation hall is also shining differently.
................
In Qingzhou.
Somewhere between the mountains where few people go.
A white-haired old man in a black robe and a cane is stretching out a dry palm and pressing it on the Tianling of a Confucian Yuanying strongman in gorgeous clothes. It is obvious that he is performing the secret technique of soul searching.
From the occasional strong fluctuations of soul power, it is not difficult to see that this person's strength has reached the perfect state of the great soul master of the barbarians!
Obviously, the person who came is the chief priest of the Mingyue tribe: Ye Wuhen!
Since receiving the secret order from the Dark Moon Saint King, this top powerhouse of the Savage Continent did not dare to hesitate and almost sneaked into the border of Jiuzhou in a low-key manner.
However, because Qin Tian had prepared for a rainy day and had already led the bandits to retreat into Youzhou, Ye Wuhen naturally did not gain anything after searching for a while.
So, after searching for a while without any results, Ye Wuhen could only complete the task assigned by the Dark Moon Saint King first, and then simply sneaked into Jiuzhou to continue searching for the target's traces.
Coincidentally, not long after sneaking into Qingzhou, Ye Wuhen had a feud with a Confucian strongman in the market, so he simply killed him on the spot and searched his soul to obtain information about the human race.
At this moment, as the secret technique continued to be performed, the Confucian strongman could not struggle at all, and soon he bled from all seven orifices and died with his soul destroyed.
But when Ye Wuhen opened his eyes again, a trace of surprise flashed across his old and turbid eyes, and he couldn't help but mutter in surprise:
"Hehe! Interesting! I didn't expect that the little thief who stole my barbarian heritage would still claim to be a famous and upright sect in the Jiuzhou Continent! This is really ridiculous!"
Speaking of this, Ye Wuhen couldn't help but pause slightly.
After pondering for a moment, a little cold light appeared in his eyes:
"What a great Lord Dangmo, what a great Qin Xuantian! If you dare to offend Lord Saint King, you are doomed to die!"
Soon after the voice fell, Ye Wuhen suddenly turned into a blurred black shadow, restrained the fluctuations of his whole body, and quickly rushed towards Youzhou.
.....................
As time passed slowly, three months passed quickly.
During this period, everything in Youzhou was normal, only the representatives of the immortal gates gathered from all over the country made the immortal city a lot more lively.
What is surprising is that after the Tianmo Sect suffered such a great loss, there was no movement at all, as if they were really willing to give up the thousands of miles of frontier.
In this atmosphere, the Dao Sect ceremony was held as scheduled.
In the early morning of this day, nine deep bell sounds suddenly rang out from the originally quiet Qifeng Mountain Range.
At the gate of the Dao Sect, the monks from the five main peaks were waiting here to receive gifts and welcome guests. There was an endless stream of guests coming and going, and the atmosphere in the venue seemed quite lively.
From time to time, there were many stunning escape lights rushing in, some of whom were of noble status and good origin, and they even caused bursts of exclamations in the venue.
It should be noted that since the Wuxuan Dao Sect held a grand ceremony publicly and invited all kinds of strong people to come to watch the ceremony, its purpose was to announce its return to the ranks of the top immortal sects, and at the same time to show the world the style of the leader of the righteous sect.
Under such circumstances, the ceremony was naturally extremely grand, so in order to express respect, the representatives sent by the major immortal sects were definitely not ordinary people, at least they were masters of the late Jindan stage.
Some of the ancestors of large forces even came personally, traveling thousands of miles to come, just to wait for an opportunity to establish some relationship with Dao Zong, which was also very beneficial to the development of the sect.
But without exception, everyone, regardless of their status and strength, would take the initiative to lower their escape light and walk after arriving at the gate of Dao Zong Mountain, to show respect for the top immortal sects. This is also a long-standing practice in the world of immortal cultivation.
Not only ordinary immortal sect representatives, but even Yuanying strongmen are not immune to this.
Because of this, the Jindan stage, which used to be considered a master in the outside world, now all lowered their eyebrows and looked obedient, and each one was as well-behaved as a bear child.
That scene really confirmed an old proverb in the world of immortal cultivation:
As the saying goes, Yuanying is everywhere, and Jindan is as numerous as dogs, nothing more than this!
In order to show the top power, Jin Zhengyang, the master of the Jinxuan Peak Battle Hall, and Su Miaoge, the master of the Shuixuan Peak Forbidden Hall, this pair of famous golden boy and jade girl were arranged at the mountain gate to welcome the guests, which was considered to give enough face to the representatives of the major forces.
After all, it was unimaginable for ordinary large forces to have a powerful Yuanying to welcome the guests.
For a time, the representatives of the major forces all felt proud and were proud to be able to participate in the ceremony.
And with the loud shouting of the emcee, the names of rare and precious gifts were constantly read out, which caused exclamations in the field, and many people secretly felt that their eyes were opened!
In addition, in order to prevent unexpected events from happening, Qi Mo and Long Aotian, the pair, were arranged to guard Fengming Immortal City to prevent the evil spies from taking advantage of the opportunity to enter.
At the same time, a large square in Dao Sect was already decorated with lights and filled with many tables and chairs. Many female disciples were dressed in uniform and shuttled through the square with trays in their hands. The scene seemed extremely busy.
The three most experienced elders, together with the head of the sect, Fairy Yun Xin, sat on a high platform in the center of the square, waiting for the ceremony to begin.
On the contrary, Fairy Lingfeng, who always liked quietness, was sleeping soundly in the Sutra Library with Ao Ling'er at this moment, as if she was not affected by the outside world.
As for Qin Tian, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, he was also very busy at this moment.
As the master of Jinxuan Peak, he could be called the head of the five veins of Dao Sect, and with the great reputation of the True Lord of Demon Dang, Qin Tian attracted the attention of various powerful people as soon as he appeared.
As a result, many ancestors of large forces rushed forward regardless of their status, and surrounded Qin Tian in three layers inside and outside.
After all, with Qin Tian's current reputation and strength, coupled with the fact that he commands the Battle Hall and controls the Immortal City, he can definitely be said to be in power.
Although he has not taken the position of the head, there have been rumors in the streets that he is jokingly called the greatest vassal king of the Dao Sect.
In this case, the ancestors of the major immortal sects, who are already old and sophisticated, naturally try their best to make friends, which can also bring considerable benefits to their respective forces.
Although Qin Tian is impatient in this regard, he can only greet them with a smile due to his status and return the gifts one by one in a very humble manner.
For a while, the atmosphere in the field was quite harmonious.
But at this moment, the shouting of the master of ceremonies outside the mountain gate attracted everyone's attention:
"Princess Kongque of the Ten Thousand Demon Forest of Gunzhou, presents a five-thousand-year-old Rehmannia ginseng!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the field instantly fell silent.
