Chapter 688: Waterway
Although there were many people at the scene, fortunately, the hall of the Five Elements Sect was built very magnificently. It could accommodate more than a thousand people without feeling crowded, and it was even a little empty.
Duan Qing looked around and couldn't help but sighed: "The seven super sects in the Central Plains gathered together. This is the first time Duan has seen it."
Although the momentum and number of people in the Dream Wheel Conference he participated in Jizhou were far greater than this time.
But today, all the elites of the major forces in the Central Plains were present, which was far from comparable to the Dream Wheel Conference in Jizhou.
Among them, there were also powerful people such as Lu Gong and Mo Chongzhi.
Hearing Duan Qing's sigh, Hu Yanheng, who had been silent all the time, raised his eyelids and said expressionlessly: "No, there are only six of the seven super sects!"
Hearing Hu Yanheng say this, Duan Qing looked at the people around him again and calculated in his heart.
As far as he knew, the Shinto Sect was led by Mo Chongzhi, the Tiangong Sect had Lu Gong, and the Huanjian Sect was Wan Bujue.
Hu Yanheng represented the Wuxiang Sect, and Zhaixing represented the Taihuang Sect.
Including the Five Elements Sect as the host, six of the seven major sects in the Central Plains have arrived.
As for the remaining Hehuan Sect, Duan Qing could not identify anyone from the Hehuan Sect because he had never met them.
But he subconsciously speculated that the Hehuan Sect, as one of the seven super sects, should have also arrived at the Five Elements Sect.
But according to Hu Yanheng's words, it seems that the Hehuan Sect did not arrive.
I don't know whether the Hehuan Sect deliberately did not come, or because the teleportation array of the Tongtian Tower in Diling City was destroyed and could not arrive.
After some thought, he felt that the latter possibility was more likely.
After all, the Five Elements Sect's request for help was a big deal. Even Huaying, which obviously had a grudge with the Five Elements Sect, sent Hu Yanheng and Liu Wanhan to pretend.
Even if the Hehuan Sect had a grudge against the Five Elements Sect, it would not be so superficial as to not do anything.
Just as Duan Qing was thinking, another group of people walked into the hall.
The leader was a gentle middle-aged man of medium build, with a white face and no beard. He walked with an aura of majesty without anger.
Behind him, followed a group of people from the Five Elements Sect, including Lin Ziyu's grandfather Lin Qiuheng.
Everyone in the hall was attracted by this group of people.
Among them, Lu Gong, Mo Chongzhi and other powerful people went straight to greet him and said, "Meeting Master Shui!"
"It's been many years since I last saw you. Master Shui, how are you?"
...
Hearing what Lu Gong and others said, Duan Qing's expression suddenly became serious, and he looked at the middle-aged man in the lead with a little awe.
It turned out that this person was the current head of the Five Elements Sect, Shui Daozi!
Duan Qing was very familiar with Shui Daozi.
He still remembered the inscription he saw on the Tongtian Monument in Liuyue City when he first came to Liuyue City.
"Shui Daozi passed the 999th floor of Tongtian Tower by asking about his state of mind." Duan Qing muttered to himself.
This is a demon-level figure who can break through the nine extreme levels of the Tongtian Tower in the Questioning Heart Realm.
Now, he is even more noble as the leader of the Five Elements Sect!
More importantly, Duan Qing remembered that Xue Wanyun had told him about this during a casual chat.
Shui Daozi is the leader of the seven super sects with the humblest origin.
Like the leader of the Shinto Sect, Yang Xuanyi, and the leader of the Wuxiang Sect, Hua Ying, they are almost all of noble origin, and their elders were originally high-ranking officials of each sect.
But Shui Daozi is different.
Shui Daozi was originally a small casual cultivator in the Central Plains, living from hand to mouth, without even a decent technique, so he could only practice the small five elements formula that was deliberately leaked out by the Five Elements Sect and had defects.
The small five elements formula is a technique that the Five Elements Sect deliberately released in the spirit of blocking is worse than unblocking. It is far inferior to the Five Elements Sect's sect-stabilizing technique, the Five Elements Formula, and has major defects.
Anyone who practices the small five elements formula will progress very slowly, and those who can break through the Questioning Heart Realm are rare.
Thinking back, it was because of his practice of the Small Five Elements that he failed in his first breakthrough to the Transcendent Realm.
But Shui Daozi, relying on a flawed Small Five Elements, managed to break through to the Questioning Heart Realm.
What's even more outrageous is that he broke through the 999th floor of the Tongtian Tower while still in the Questioning Heart Realm.
It was precisely because of this that Shui Daozi was recognized by the Five Elements Sect and accepted into the sect. From then on, he soared to the sky and finally sat on the high position of the Sect Master of the Five Elements Sect.
…
Shui Daozi exchanged a few words with Lu Gong and others, and under the gaze of everyone, he walked to the depths of the hall and stood still, looking around at everyone in the hall.
"You all came from afar to support my Five Elements Sect. Shui is very grateful!"
After saying that, his expression suddenly became serious. "The situation in Lingzhou is grim now. Shui Daozi will not say much polite words. I just hope that the chaos in Lingzhou can be quelled as soon as possible before discussing other things."
"Shui Sect Master is kind-hearted and cares about the lives of Lingzhou. It is admirable!" Lu Gong stood in front of the crowd and said with a smile.
Shui Daozi looked at Lu Gong and nodded slightly, then continued: "Most of the disciples in my Five Elements Sect have been sent to various places in Lingzhou to kill ghosts, but they are still stretched!"
"Today, I summoned you all to discuss how to deploy support teams to quell the chaos in Lingzhou!"
Lu Gong shook his fat head. "Master Shui knows the situation in Lingzhou best. I think it is up to Master Shui to decide how to deploy!"
Wan Bujiu in the crowd of Huanjian Sect not far away also echoed: "What Fatty Lu said is very true. Since we have come to your sect to help, we are naturally willing to obey Master Shui's orders."
Although the two of them hold high positions in Tiangong Sect and Huanjian Sect, they dare not neglect Shui Daozi, the master of the Five Elements Sect.
Shui Daozi did not speak, but looked at Mo Chongzhi in the crowd of Shendao Sect.
Facing Shui Daozi's eyes, Mo Chongzhi did not respond, but just nodded slightly to show his attitude.
The three great men all expressed their opinions, and Shui Daozi did not say anything more, and directly said: "Okay, in this case, Shui will show me my ugliness!"
"According to the report from my disciples, the chaos in Lingzhou is now the most serious in the 100,000-li northern area between my sect and Diling City."
"In Shui's opinion, Daoyou Mo of the Shendao Sect, Daoyou Lu of the Tiangong Sect, and Daoyou Wan of the Huanjian Sect will each lead a team, divided into three groups, from north to south, to clear the ghosts along the way, and finally meet in Diling City to clean up Diling City."
"Of course, my Five Elements Sect will also participate in the whole process."
"What do you think?"
"What about the ghosts in other places?" Lu Gong asked with narrowed eyes.
"Except for the central and northern regions, the chaos in other places is not serious, and they are too scattered. We have no time to deal with them at the moment. We can only wait until the central and northern regions are cleared, and then slowly solve them." Shui Daozi explained.
Lu Gong nodded slightly. "Well, Master Shui has a point."
At this time, Mo Chongzhi, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "The change in Lingzhou this time was obviously caused by someone on purpose. If the source is not solved, how can Lingzhou be cleared up!"
Faced with Mo Chongzhi's questioning, Shui Daozi remained calm. "The real culprit behind the scenes will be personally tracked down and arrested by Shui!"
As he spoke, a murderous intention suddenly arose in the hall, making most people present feel cold on their backs.
"Do you have any other opinions?" Shui Daozi glanced at everyone and smiled slightly.
Everyone was silent, and no one spoke.
