From the fake emperor to the concubine

Seeing this, Zheng Yi immediately reminded Zhao Shan: "Master Zhao, don't chase after a desperate enemy."

Although Zhao Shan didn't understand, he thought that they were there to save him after all, so he immediately ordered the disciples of Chi Xiao Hall to withdraw.

"Elder Lin, Elder Feng, and this fellow Taoist. Thank you for coming to support my Chi Xiao Tang. If you hadn't arrived in time, my Chi Xiao Tang would have been in great danger this time."

Zhao Shan looks rough, but he is very meticulous in what he says and does.

He immediately arranged a place for Zheng Yilin, Jun Rong and the other two to rest, and then said apologetically: "Please take a rest, fellow Taoists. My Chi Xiao Hall is in a mess now. I will go and deal with it first."

Just now, the Chixiaotang's mountain protection formation was destroyed by the invaders of the Mingling clan. Most of the sect's buildings were lost, and the sect's disciples also suffered heavy losses.

At this time, as the head of Chi Xiao Tang, he did have extremely important matters to deal with.

Zheng Yi and the others could understand and would not blame Zhao Shan too much.

And Zhao Shan did his best to repay these saviors.

The place where they stayed was the most luxurious guest room among all the guest rooms in Chixiao Hall.

The magnificence of this place even surpassed the imperial palace where Zheng Yi lived before.

The sight is magnificent and the small courtyard in front of the door is filled with all kinds of rare and exotic plants.

If it had not just experienced a war, which affected the courtyard, with the wall collapsed and the small garden inside in a mess, this must have been a beautiful small garden.

Before leaving, Zhao Shan specifically instructed his disciples to serve a table of delicious food.

"My fellow Taoists have come from afar to save my Chixiaotang from danger, so you must be hungry. Please use these foods to fill your stomachs first. After I have dealt with matters in the sect, I will personally welcome you all. Let me drink first to show my respect!" Zhao Shan picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

After Zhao Shan left, Lin Junrong said with emotion: "I've always heard that Chi Xiao Tang is located on a major transportation route. Although its strength is not that strong, it is quite rich."

Feng Xia was also amazed: "I didn't really believe it before. No matter how rich someone is, how rich can they be? Today I finally saw it."

Zheng Yi just drank a glass of wine offered by Zhao Shanjing, took a bite of food casually, and nodded: "You are right, this sect is really rich."

As an emperor, Zheng Yi has seen and experienced it all.

Although he didn't know much about the Canglan Realm, he could see the big picture of many things from the small details.

For a sect as big as Xingxiuhai, their daily food and daily necessities are just so-so.

Of course, as a sect of cultivation, most of everyone's energy is spent on cultivation.

Naturally, I won’t care that much about other things.

But not caring about it doesn't mean they won't pursue these things. Otherwise, why would they practice so hard?
Everyone has different purposes for wanting to cultivate immortality, but there are definitely not many people who want to suffer.

If conditions permit, you should naturally enjoy yourself as much as you can.

Even if a large sect like Xingxiu Sea does not specialize in research in this area, it will definitely not be too bad.

But compared with what Chi Xiao Tang treated them to, it was immediately a level lower.

This can be distinguished just from the taste.

Needless to say, how much thought was put into the cooking; the ingredients used in these dishes alone are all top-notch.

Not to mention, many of the tableware used to hold these foods are actually used ritual instruments.

Of course, these ritual utensils and tableware are all quite low-end items, basically used to keep dishes warm or to maintain the original flavor of the dishes.

But even so, this is quite an exaggeration.

As long as they are related to magical instruments, the value of these tableware will not be too much.

Although it is possible for Xingxiu Sea to use these magical instruments as tableware, there is really no need for that.

No one from Chi Xiao Tang accompanied this meal, which would normally be considered rude.

Zheng Yi and the other two did not feel offended.

Because the current situation of Chi Xiao Tang is really very bad.

Damaged buildings and the like are still secondary.

The most crucial thing is that more than 90% of the sect’s disciples were injured, and among them, at least 30% were seriously injured and needed to be treated immediately.

Moreover, the sect's formation was severely damaged and needed to be repaired as soon as possible, because no one knew when the next attack from the Nether Spirit Clan would come.

In the current Chi Xiao Tang, one person can be said to be used as two people.

Zhao Shan was busy going back and forth.

Even the gray-haired Old Master Zhao was not idle. When he was directing the disciples of the Chixiao Hall to repair the mountain protection formation, he would occasionally lend a hand.

Seeing this, Zheng Yi and the other two also prepared to go over to help.

"I am deeply grateful for the kindness of you fellow Taoists. But you three saved our Xingxiu Sea, so how can we let you do such rough work? Please just take a rest, we can handle those small matters."

Zhao Shan declined again and again, so Zheng Yi stopped forcing him.

After all, this is the headquarters of the Chi Xiao Tang, and there may be some things that are not suitable for outsiders to see.

Lin Junrong suddenly looked up at the sky.

A carrier pigeon flapped its wings and flew over at a speed that was completely inconsistent with its appearance.

Just now it was far away in the sky, but in the blink of an eye it was already in Lin Junrong's hands. The carrier pigeon landed in her hand and turned into a folded piece of letter paper with a bang.

When he opened it, Lin Junrong's expression changed slightly.

"Elder Wang and his men were ambushed. The situation is urgent and we must go over to support them as soon as possible."

The situation was urgent, and Zheng Yi and the other two briefly explained the situation to Zhao Shan.

"In that case, I will go with you all." Zhao Shan hesitated for a moment and said with gritted teeth.

The situation at Chi Xiao Tang was also very critical, but the people of Xing Xiu Hai had just rescued him, so he couldn't just stand by and watch.

Lin Junrong waved his hand and said, "Master Zhao, there is no need to do this. We can just go over and provide support. You'd better stay in Chi Xiao Tang and repair the sect's formation as soon as possible to deal with the next attack from the Ming Ling clan."

"But..." Zhao Shan felt a little guilty. When his sect's immortal was in danger, they came to save him. Now they are in trouble, and he can't help them.

Zheng Yi interrupted him with a smile and said, "We appreciate Master Zhao's kindness, but the current situation is special and we still have to put the overall situation first. The Scarlet Heaven Hall is located at a strategic point and is the front line of defense against the Nether Spirit Clan. What we need most now is to repair the mountain protection formation as soon as possible to restore the defense capability."

"By the way, could you please trouble Elder Feng to stay and help Chi Xiao Tang defend, so that the situation just now won't happen again."

Feng Xia is an expert in the Spirit Transformation Stage after all. With him around, the Chi Xiao Hall can at least hold on for a little longer.

"No problem." Feng Xia agreed without thinking. In fact, it was the best choice for Lin Junrong to stay. She was stronger, and even if the army of cultivators from the Nether Spirit Clan came to attack, she would have more power to protect herself.

But Lin Junrong's shuttle was fast, so if he wanted to get to the ambush location as quickly as possible, he could only rely on his shuttle.

After weighing the pros and cons, Feng Xia could only be allowed to stay.

After making the arrangements, the two of them boarded the shuttle and headed straight to the place where the Xingxiu Sea disciples were attacked.

"The enemy should be very aware of our situation. They are riding on the Void Cloud Whale, and it is unlikely to find them by ordinary means. It seems that the enemy has been preparing for this sneak attack for a long time." Zheng Yi frowned and thought.

"By the way, at this rate, how long will it take us to reach the place that was attacked?"

"One day is enough." Lin Junrong said confidently.

Zheng Yi raised his eyebrows. In that case, "Let's practice dual cultivation a few times as soon as possible."

"Here?" Lin Junrong was stunned. Although the two of them had practiced dual cultivation before, Lin Junrong would not take it to heart. But when facing such a powerful enemy, it was a bit inappropriate to practice dual cultivation, right?

"This is to leave some means to be prepared for any eventuality." Zheng Yi really didn't think that much about it.

After entering the Canglan Realm, his cultivation grew rapidly.

But no matter how fast he is, he is only in the Jindan stage now. Even if he is comparable to the peak of Jindan, he is not the true peak of Jindan.

The best way to improve is naturally to practice dual cultivation and absorb the spiritual energy of masters in the Spirit Transformation Stage for your own use.

Ximing Mountain.

A giant whale floats above the mountain top.

The giant whale's body was flashing with the light of the formation. Attacks from all directions fell like raindrops, making the formation sparkle with golden light.

Many monks were fighting around the giant whale. Exploding sword energy could be seen everywhere on the battlefield, and various spells were heard one after another.

The two most conspicuous ones among them were Wang Haiweng, the elder of Xingxiu Sea.

The person standing opposite Wang Haiweng was actually also a human cultivator. He was holding a steel fork-shaped magical weapon and had disheveled hair, like a ghost.

"You dare to kill my son? I will make you pay a thousand times the price. Die!" The black gas on his body suddenly burst out, wrapped around the steel fork, and swept towards Wang Haiweng across hundreds of meters.

Wang Haiweng did not dare to resist the attack. Suddenly, a stream of water rolled up under his feet, dragging him far away and avoiding the opponent's attack.

"Ouyang Qi, your son openly questioned my Xingxu Sea in front of my Xingxu Sea Mountain Gate. Not to mention killing him, even if I wiped you out at Qingzhu Mountain, no one would say anything."

"We didn't cause any trouble for you, but you dared to jump out and bark."

"There is another thing I am curious about. What benefits did those guys from the Nether Spirit Clan give you that made you work so hard for them?"

"Don't forget, you are a human being. Helping the Ghost Tribe will not end well."

Wang Haiweng's answer was an attack even more ferocious than before: "Stop talking nonsense, I only know that you people from Xingxiu Sea killed my son, and I will make you pay with your lives!" Ouyang Qi roared and pressed forward step by step, as if he wanted to bite Wang Haiweng to pieces.

"Old man, if you have the guts, don't hide. Fight me for three hundred rounds."

Although Wang Haiweng also wanted to teach Ouyang Qi a lesson, Ouyang Qi's current strength was indeed superior to Wang Haiweng, so he chose to avoid the limelight for the time being.

Compared to Ouyang Qi, most of the people who attacked them this time should have used a secret method that they didn't know about, and they were all very powerful.

These people obviously knew their route.

Therefore, a formation was set up here in advance, which not only pulled the Void Cloud Whale out of the void, but also firmly confined it here, leaving them no way to escape.

The sudden sneak attack caught everyone in Xingxiu Sea off guard.

However, Wang Haiweng and others were not afraid.

After all, most of the power of the Xingxiu Sea is here. Unless the monks of the Nether Spirit Clan launch a large-scale attack, it will be impossible to do anything to them.

Especially after seeing that the people who attacked them were actually cultivators from Qingzhu Mountain, Wang Haiweng was not too worried.

How could Qingzhu Mountain, a mere mountain, be a match for Xingxiu Sea?
But as soon as the two sides started fighting, Wang Haiweng was surprised to find that Qingzhushan's strength was much stronger than they had imagined.

Although the Xingxiu Sea had fewer people than them and had significantly increased its strength, it was suppressed by them for a while.

These monks from Qingzhu Mountain don’t seem to care about their own life or death at all.

The crazy attack was completely an attitude of exchanging life for life.

Under such circumstances, the weakness of Xingxiu Sea was completely exposed.

Because most of the monks in the sect were female, their morale plummeted in the midst of this crazy, bloody battle.

Although they are obviously stronger than the other party, they dare not fight with each other easily.

Therefore, on the battlefield, it is common to see a Qingzhu Mountain cultivator in the early Jindan stage, with bloodshot eyes, chasing the female disciples of Xingxiu Sea everywhere.

Fortunately, they were all fighting around the Void Cloud Whale.

If the situation is really critical, you can retreat back to the Void Cloud Whale under the cover of your fellow disciples and temporarily avoid the Void Cloud Whale's pursuit.

Faced with this situation, Wang Haiweng didn't know what to do for a moment. He could only grit his teeth and persevere with the other elders.

At the same time, he asked Zheng Yi for help.

Facing Ouyang Qi's provocation, Wang Haiweng didn't care at all: "Ouyang Qi, you don't have to use any provocation. Although I don't know how you have improved Qingzhu Mountain's strength so much."

"However, any technique that can significantly increase one's strength will definitely not be without side effects."

"We can play slowly. I want to see how long you can last."

The longer the time drags on, the more advantageous it will be for our side. Wang Haiweng is very sure of this.

Although I don’t understand why these monks from Qingzhu Mountain are still so lively after three days.

However, as long as one uses strength that far exceeds one's own realm to fight for a long time, the burden on the body will definitely not be small.

Although Ximing Mountain is located in a remote area, it is after all within the sphere of influence of human beings.

Humans are now at war with the Nether Spirits. Whether Ouyang Qi is going to war with them just to avenge his son or has some other purpose.

It's impossible to fight with them for too long in this place.

Even if Zheng Yi couldn't make it in time, by now there should be cultivators from other sects who would have received the news and rushed over to support.

Of course, the real reason why Wang Haiweng felt at ease to stay here.

In fact, it was Zheng Yi's advice to him before he set out. (End of this chapter)
