Bone Taoist

Chapter 823 Arena
On both sides of the street, magical power was flying.

No matter how beautiful a woman is in this world, she cannot be more beautiful than her. Nangong Ling's every frown and smile is naturally charming. She is truly stunningly beautiful. Her skin under the veil is as white as cream, and her slightly raised chest is full of charm.

Not only that, her magical powers and Taoism are also very powerful, and she is only one step away from the state of Hedao. If one could get close to such a beautiful and powerful woman, his life would be worthwhile. This is what most cultivators think in their hearts.

Her noble and graceful demeanor fascinated the monks who were watching around her. The sound of discussion was endless and all eyes were focused on Nangong Ling, who was also enjoying this moment very much.

Ye Zang leaned against the window railing, holding a cup of spiritual tea in his hand, looking around casually.

"She is becoming more and more like a royal concubine..."

Ye Zang thought to himself, who would have thought that this woman was a drinking and entertaining girl in Dahuang City in southern Xinjiang many years ago, and was originally an actress.

The Sixth Prince beside him looked around vigilantly, as if he was declaring his sovereignty. Ye Zang casually observed him with his Dharma Eyes and found that the charm had already penetrated into his bones and could no longer be separated. Not even Nangong Ling could do it.

There are many masters in the Fengtian Dynasty, and there are at least a number of Taoist masters. Yet, they didn't even notice anything unusual about the Sixth Prince right under their noses. It shows whether Nangong Ling is too skilled or the Fengtian Dynasty is just in name only.

In fact, the Sixth Prince's status in the Fengtian Dynasty has been deteriorating. The Fengtian Emperor and several old Taoists have given up on this prince who sleeps in the arms of a beautiful woman all day long.

The future heir to the dynasty will probably be between the eldest prince or the third prince. If Princess Jianjia returns to the dynasty in the future, with her talent, she will surely take advantage of the situation.

Nangong Ling seemed to notice Ye Zang's sharp gaze, and glanced over here with her narrow eyes.

“That old man…” Nangong Ling frowned slightly and stared at Ye Zang.

"Ling Ren, what's wrong?" The Sixth Prince beside him asked in a soft whisper.

"Nothing." Nangong Ling shook her head and retracted her gaze. Ye Zang had cultivated the Heavenly Dao Eye, so Nangong Ling naturally could not see through his strange technique of changing his appearance. However, she always felt as if she was seen through, and this feeling made her feel very uncomfortable.

After looking away, the group continued walking.

A large group of people were following them on the entire street, including the Lin family, making a grand scene.

It was not until they disappeared at the entrance of the street that Ye Zang withdrew his gaze, thinking about something in his heart.

"Why are the people from the Fengtian Dynasty coming to Dongsheng Shenzhou? Could it be that they are here to win over other sects, just like the eldest prince did before?"

Ye Zang narrowed his eyes.

It seems that the situation in Zhongzhou is very unclear. After this matter is finished, I have to go to Tianheng Mountain in Zhongzhou. After all, the Lingxia Cave Heaven there was supported by me, and my direct disciple Qu Yang is still there. I wonder how that kid's practice is going now.

He probably would not have thought that his own master was actually a member of the foreign religious school and the famous leader of the Tianming sect.

"The relationship between the three ancient religions in Zhongzhou and the Fengtian Dynasty is tense. The ancient vein secret place there is also in turmoil, but it won't be peaceful for too long..."

……

Three days later, in the center of Julu City.

Ye Zang followed many cultivators and walked here. He heard that Julu City had set up a martial arts arena here. Notices had been posted all over the fairy city in recent days, saying that there was a great fortune and opportunity. Ye Zang came to see what was going on.

A five-cornered Taoist temple stands on the earth, shrouded in fairy mist, ethereal and otherworldly.

The overall look is very majestic and spectacular. The stone pillars of the Taoist temple are inlaid with spirit beads and spirit stones. It is made entirely of black obsidian. There are also several Nascent Soul-level soul-protecting formations lurking around it, which is quite a feat.

In such a temple, no one can cause devastating damage to it unless they have the supernatural powers of a Hedao monk.

Just after noon, a lot of people gathered here. At a glance, it was crowded and noisy.

"What is Julu City planning?" someone said.

"I heard that it's related to Luoying Daohui, and it was the people from the Immortal Alliance who asked them to do these things."

"Can I go to Luoying Valley and participate in that Taoist meeting?" Upon hearing this, the casual cultivator showed an incredible expression.

"interesting……"

The entire Julu City is controlled by more than a dozen aristocratic families, large and small.

However, among them, the three families, Lin Family, Wang Family, and Feng Family, are the most powerful. They are considered the original founders of Julu City. Later, other families came to join in. Now, these three families control all matters, big and small, in Julu City.

To the north of the huge Taoist temple, there is a majestic and magnificent pavilion. Inside the mansion, there are many cushions and desks, and refreshing incense is burning. A dozen disciples from aristocratic families dressed in luxurious clothes are conversing, and the Sixth Prince Nangong Ling is among them.

"Your Highness, the Sixth Prince, you know that I cannot afford to offend Luoying Valley. Setting up this arena is a helpless move." Lin Kui, a young man from the Lin family, shook his head and said helplessly. Lin Kui is the leader of this generation of the Lin family. He has practiced for only more than 300 years, but he has already reached the Nascent Soul stage. It is said that he is expected to advance to the Hedao stage in the future and become the current head of the Lin family.

As Lin Kui spoke, he kept glancing at Nangong Ling who was standing beside the Sixth Prince. He felt itchy in his heart. If it were any other time, if he had met a woman like this in Julu City, he would have taken back the mansion long ago.

In fact, although the Lin family is neutral, the entire family's style of doing things is somewhat biased towards the Demon Sect.

“I have traveled thousands of miles from Central Continent to get here, and now I am going to compete with these casual cultivators to learn from each other. Isn’t this lowering my status?” The Sixth Prince snorted coldly, his expression looking very displeased.

"Your Highness is wrong. The independent cultivators in Julu City are not ordinary independent cultivators. If Your Highness learns from them, you will definitely gain a lot and your cultivation will be further improved." Feng Quan smiled and shook the folding fan in his hand. This young and handsome young man is also the contemporary genius of the Feng family. He is very talented and has reached the third level of the Nascent Soul.

"Don't blame me, Your Highness the Sixth Prince. This is the rule of the Immortal Alliance. If Luoying Valley knew that we had given you special treatment, we would be in trouble. There are twenty places for independent cultivators in the Luoying Taoist Association this time. With your magical powers, how can you not occupy one seat?" Wang Peizhi, the pride of the Wang family, said angrily.

These three people kept talking to each other, leaving the Sixth Prince speechless and not knowing what to say.

A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Although the Fengtian Dynasty is much more powerful than these aristocratic families, it is far away in Central China and cannot reach here. Moreover, there are the immortal and demon sects here.

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. There's no need to refuse, Your Highness." Nangong Ling said with a smile on her lips, her eyebrows slightly raised.

Her voice was as sweet as that of an oriole. Nangong Ling's eyes seemed to be filled with autumn water, and her cheeks were slightly rosy like peach blossoms. Such a posture made the three geniuses look at her sideways.

This made them feel itchy, but they were embarrassed to stare at Nangong Ling because of the Sixth Prince's appearance.

"Ahem, what the princess said is absolutely right..." Lin Kui's breathing became a little rapid, he took a deep breath and said with trembling eyes.

"All right, I'll accept it." The Sixth Prince frowned slightly, his Taoist robe rustling.

As they spoke, several people walked out of the palace and onto the terrace, overlooking the area around the dojo. It was now crowded with people, and the sound of hustle and bustle was endless.

As early as several months ago, Luoying Valley had already informed the aristocratic families of Julu City about this matter.

It is necessary to select some independent cultivators to attend the Luoying Taoist Conference. This can be regarded as a warning to Julu City. If the neutral Taoist sects want to gain a foothold in Dongsheng, they still have to give face to the Eight Immortal Sects and the Six Demon Sects.

"All of you fellow Taoists gathered here, I think you have heard that this time, my Julu City is setting up a competition, not for any other reason, but to select twenty fellow Taoists to participate in the Luoying Taoist Conference with us. I will not say much about the benefits of this, if you can join the Eight Immortal Sects, then the resources for cultivation will be at your fingertips." Lin Kui's voice was mixed with magic power, echoing around the Taoist temple.

There was a huge crowd of people below, numbering at least tens of thousands.

Almost all the Yuanying Taoists in the entire Julu City are here. Most of them are independent cultivators, and there are also some from small families and small sects.

"This competition will be held for three days. Anyone who has reached the Nascent Soul stage can participate. The rules are very simple. Those who defend the competition and win ten games in a row can enter Luoying Valley and participate in the Taoist meeting." Lin Kui said casually, looking at the cultivators in the arena.

These rules are quite clear. They seem to be used to deal with the Immortal Alliance. You can do whatever you want or as simple as you want.

"Similarly, the challenger can obtain the victory of the defender. In short, the winner will be determined by his magical powers. Don't worry, as long as you participate, my Julu City will bestow natural treasures upon you and will never let your trip be in vain!" Wang Peizhi added here, his voice shaking like thunder.

After hearing this, the people around started talking immediately.

The news that the Luoying Taoist Association was to be held had already spread throughout the northern part of Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Not only Julu City, but also cities in the Immortal Alliance are selecting independent cultivators from all over the place, and some small immortal cities are also holding similar Taoist meetings.

Most people know what the Immortal Alliance is up to. Isn't the purpose of holding the Taoist conference to win over independent cultivators and small families? Obviously, the recent growing strength of the Six Demon Sects has made the Eight Immortal Sects feel a sense of crisis.

The world is about to fall into chaos, and obviously in such a great era, they don't want more people to side with the Six Demonic Sects.

"I won't waste any more time talking nonsense. Which fellow Taoist is willing to be the first to come to the dojo to discuss martial arts?" Lin Kui said with a smile on his face.

After saying this, he did not forget to glance at the Sixth Prince who was not far away from him.

The latter took a deep breath, flicked his sleeves expressionlessly, and his whole body exuded a rather domineering gilded aura. He stepped on the imperial dragon energy and landed steadily and confidently on Baili Guang's dojo.

boom!
Like a savage real dragon, looking down on all directions with disdainful eyes.

"I have actually fallen to the point of discussing the Dao with this bunch of unscrupulous and unorganized cultivators. How ridiculous..."

The Sixth Prince covered his hands, thinking unhappily in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about it. The First Prince sent him to Central Continent to make friends with the Taoist sect. If he returned like this without making any achievements, his status in the dynasty would probably be lowered, and he might even lose his residence in Longcheng.
