Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 237 Uninvited
"Oh, the Mi family stall?" After listening to Duan Anle's story, the head of Kangda couldn't help but feel angry and scared.

Because he was worried about Jiang Qing's foundation building, he actually forgot about the trade routes of the Chongming caravan, which were almost all opened up relying on the relationship with the He family.

When people leave, the tea gets cold, and when people die, the tea gets colder.
The consequence of paralysis and sluggishness was that it almost cost his disciple’s life!

More importantly, after such a long time, the news that Kuang Liuting rewarded Chongming Sect with spiritual objects for building the foundation must have reached the ears of many interested people.

As a tiger skin, Uncle Black Shoe has frightened countless evil-minded villains.

Although there are always a few self-righteous fools like the head of the Mi family, if the third brother fails to build a foundation, these troubles will surely follow.

Human nature is greedy. Even if the three brands of Black-Shoe Taoist, Fei family and the state court are stronger than the other, if Chongmingzong himself is a cowardly and sick man, he will definitely be coveted by the jackals around him.

As long as they have enough patience while wandering outside, they will always find an opportunity to pounce and take a big bite.

Compared to the frowning senior brothers in the hall, Jiang Qing's reaction was much more unconventional.

"Anle, lead the way." The young swordsman's voice sounded unquestionable. Duan Anle subconsciously wanted to agree, but he saw Kang Dabao leaning on the chair and raising his hand to stop him.

"There is a long time to come, there is no need to rush." ​​After the initial period of complacency, Master Kang has gradually restrained his arrogant look in recent days.

He regained his former calm and cautious self, and his mentality was no different from when he was the head of a small Qi training sect.

"When the third brother had not yet established his foundation, he had to endure both big and small matters. Now that he has established his foundation, he has to endure it again. Isn't it all in vain?" On the contrary, Yuan Jin's temper has gotten worse these days. As soon as Master Kang spoke, he began to mutter in a low voice.

"Master brother is right. There is a long time to come. Mijiazhai is not a pushover. We should take a long-term view." Pei Yi also felt that he should not be too impulsive.

The Mi family leader once led 300 wizard soldiers from the Mi family village to repel two foundation-building cultivators, which really increased his reputation.

If there is nothing important concerning the core interests, they will not provoke forces like Mijiazhai.

Although Jiang Qing has already reached the foundation building stage and his rank is very high, in the final analysis, he is just a newly promoted foundation building stage. If he were to rashly confront a force like Mijiazhai, even if he won, what if something went wrong?
What the head of Kangda thought was similar to what Pei Yi thought. After all, the excuse given by the head of the Mi family was barely acceptable.

Now his group of cronies were killed, and Duan Anle and his party were released unharmed, and the scene was made quite impressive by the head of the Mi family.

If Chongming Sect still wanted to take action, it would make them seem a bit unreasonable. This alone was harmless, after all, when had the cultivation world of David Immortal Dynasty ever relied on words to reason?

However, Mijia Village is also protected by the foundation-building forces. Unless Taoist Heilu also takes action, the current Chongming Sect may not be able to destroy Mijia Village in one fell swoop.

According to Kang Dabao, the Chongming Sect was at the stage of accumulating strength and cultivating internal strength. If they did not come out, they would not come out. If they did come out, they would plow the fields and uproot the roots.

Only after becoming famous in one battle, those mosquitoes, flies, rats and cockroaches in the dark will realize that now they cannot touch the Chongming Sect. If they touch it, they will be injured, and if they touch it, they will die!

Sect Leader Kang spoke again: "Let's put this matter aside for now and talk about it after the foundation-building ceremony. Mijiazhai has been standing there for nearly two hundred years, and it won't be able to escape anytime soon."

Although Jiang Qing has established his foundation, Sect Master Kang can still scold and beat him in private. Although Chongming Sect has one more true cultivator who has established his foundation, Chongming Sect is still ruled by Sect Master Kang.

Although Jiang Qing may not agree with Kang Dabao's idea, after the latter made the final decision, he still sat down as before, without showing any dissatisfaction.

Even Jiang Qing was like this, so the other brothers would not say anything.

Sect Master Kang did not notice anything unusual. After all, the Chongming Sect had always been like this over the years, and none of his fellow disciples had ever mentioned wanting to change.

"Anle, go down and rest first. The caravan should not set out yet. We can discuss this later and decide on the rules for the subsequent trade."

"Disciple obeys the order." As the victim of this incident, Duan Anle did not feel the slightest bit of resentment towards Master Kang for not immediately raising an army for revenge.

On the contrary, as a junior who is most often praised by teachers and seniors as a talented person, Duan Anle naturally understands the principle of not raising an army out of anger.

Duan Anle was really relieved by what the head of Kangda did.

Mijiazhai was undoubtedly a behemoth for the former Chongming Sect, but now that Jiang Qing has established his foundation, Mijiazhai is no longer a threat.

I think it won't be long before the Chongming Sect, which has already improved its internal strength, will be able to wipe out the Mijia Village without any difficulty.

After Duan Anle left, this small disturbance subsided temporarily, and the foundation-building ceremony that Chongming Sect had been preparing for Jiang Qing for a long time was finally about to begin.

——On the twenty-sixth day of the first month of the four hundred and thirtieth year of Qianfeng in the Immortal Dynasty of David, it was the time for the golden box of the gods, a good time for dusk and sacrifice.

The foundation-building ceremony was not only a major event that the Chongming Sect had not experienced or hosted in the past two hundred years, but also the first such lively event in the entire Pingrong County for a long time.

Therefore, as soon as the sun rose that day, Hemu Dao, Lu Family, Xue Family, and other forces that had good relations with Chongming Sect, rushed over with all kinds of gifts.

After them came the Ming family, the He family, and the Kuai family. These foreign forces, who were close to the Chongming Sect, came one after another.

When the head of Kangda rebuilt the auditorium, he thought he had been a bit extravagant.

Judging from the speed at which the Chongming Sect was collecting immortal seedlings at that time, it would probably take a decade to fill the position.

But now, although there were still two hours before the Foundation Building Ceremony began, most of the auditorium was already filled with representatives from various families who came to give gifts.

Looking at his son who was extremely busy entertaining his colleagues, He Degong's smile gradually froze and a trace of sadness suddenly arose in his heart.

"It would be great if Brother Shi could come today. He is best friends with the third brother and he would be very pleased." Kang Dabao walked to the side of He Degong at some point and sighed softly.

"Brother." He Degong at this moment looked much more vicissitudes of life than when Master Kang met him in Miaoyunzhai that year. The former seemed to have abandoned his past self from the inside out.

After He Dezong died, the once cynical and suave He Degong also died with him.

"Please forgive me, brother. I have been too busy lately. As soon as we are done, the third brother and I will go to pay our respects to the eldest brother of the He family." Seeing that He Degong was choking with sobs and unable to speak, the head of the Kang family could only sigh again and promised.

"Thank you, Brother Shi." He Degong thanked him in a low voice, and the fatigue on his face could not be concealed.

Ever since the death of He Dezong, the helmsman of the He family in Hong County, the huge He family has been unable to choose a backbone with enough prestige to run the family.

If Lang Yi had not been worried about the mishap of his spirit stone bag, and had not sent an old servant to the He family to clean up the situation, and appointed He Degong, the younger brother of He Dezong, to continue to be the head of the family, the He family in Hong County would have probably fallen apart long ago.

But He Degong was completely different from the late He Dezong in terms of cultivation, skills, and ability to manage the family. When He Dezong was managing the family, he felt exhausted, so He Degong, who was far inferior to his brother in all aspects, was even more miserable.

Master Kang naturally saw clearly that the He family of Hong County had only lost one generation of heroic leaders, and the little fortune that his family had accumulated for nearly two hundred years was about to disappear.

He Degong will definitely not be able to keep this family business, and the He family will sooner or later be caught in a situation of internal strife.

Kang Dabao seemed to have realized something after learning from the previous incident. The two of them had just talked for a while when they heard the voices of Ye Pingshui and Kang Rongquan, who were in charge of calling out the names of the guests, suddenly rise:

"Master of Zifeng Valley, Shenchen Zhenxiu congratulates you."

"The head of Shujian Sect, Ye Zhenzhen Xiuhe."

"The head of the Feiyue Shan family, Shan Shengzhen Xiuhe"

Three Foundation Establishment cultivators with outstanding demeanor, surrounded by their bodyguards, walked into the auditorium of Chongming Sect and instantly occupied a large number of the remaining seats.

"Tsk tsk, the heads of the three major foundation-building sects are here. Senior Jiang is doing you a great honor."

"Yes, including the newly appointed head of Hemu Dao, Han, all five heads of the New Cloud Alliance are here today. It is a rare occasion."

"What do you know? How could these three leaders come here just for Senior Jiang, a junior? Didn't you notice that the post sent by Chongming Zongkang also included the name of Senior Heilu?"

"Tsk, I thought you were going to say something. Who doesn't know the close relationship between Senior Hei Lu and Chong Ming Sect? Everyone says Kang Dabao is the nemesis of Taoist Hei Lu."

"woooooo"

The drunk man who hadn't even started drinking was covered by the black-robed monk beside him before he could finish his words. His companion said in a vicious voice:
"You are such a jerk, you are always talking nonsense and you come here to make trouble. You don't want to live, but I do! He is my dear senior brother who is a true cultivator of foundation building. Can people like you and me say a word about him?"

As soon as the black-robed monk finished speaking, he saw Wei Gu, the receptionist in charge of this area, tilting his head to look over, his legs trembling with fear. The black-robed monk was not sure if Wei Gu had heard him, so he had to force an ugly smile to apologize.

Wei Gu couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene. He was afraid of being convicted for his words, so he took his family and fled from the rule of the Yuan family in Jingnan Prefecture to Pingrong County to make a living.

Seeing the black-robed monk's behavior, I suddenly felt a sense of sympathy.

However, sympathy is sympathy, and now that Wei Gu is a disciple of Chongming, he cannot allow outsiders to criticize his leader in his own territory.

Just as he was about to walk up to the talkative people and give them a warning, Wei Gu heard the voice of the receptionist Kang Rongquan rise to a higher level and turned to look over.

"Congratulations to the Provincial Court Secretary, Fernan Oma!"

"The state court pretends to be Sima, and Gunshilu is really Xiuhe!"

"Congratulations to the Commander of the State Court's Demon-Rescuing Division, Master Tie Liuyun!"

"The State Court Sima Mansion, the Chief Secretary is not really congratulating you!"

"The commander of the army of the State Court Sima Mansion, Qin Sufu, congratulations!"

"Congratulations to the Provincial Treasury Secretary, Tiexi Shuizhenxiu!"

Several high-ranking officials from the provincial court actually came together. Their aura immediately shocked the young Qigong practitioners in the field so much that they dared not speak loudly.

Even the head of the Kang sect was slightly stunned. After all, there were a lot of things going on in the provincial court right now, and these senior officials rarely had free time on weekdays and were unable to spare the time.

I thought one or two people would come today, even if Kang Dabao's face could be worth a little, but I didn't expect all of them to come.

This is truly a huge honor. Even when Zhang Yuandao, the founder of the sect, was the head of the Chongming Sect, there might not have been so many high-ranking officials who came.

"Your humble servant greets you." The head of the Kang family was naturally surprised and delighted. He quickly walked over and was about to bow to greet him when he heard the person in charge Tie Liuyun smile heartily and reach out to pull him up:
"Alright, alright. I'm here to attend your family's Taoist meeting. Stand up straight and don't bow so much."

Tie Zhijun's tactics of sowing discord seemed extremely clumsy in Fei Sima's eyes. The latter simply nodded at Kang Dabao, chose a place to sit down at random, closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing.

However, what surprised Master Kang was that among the remaining five people from the provincial court, only Sima Gunjia followed Sima Fei.

It was only natural for Tie Xishan to follow his uncle;

Qin Sufu had been favored by Commander Tie in the past, so he would not have any good feelings towards the two Sima who had always been at odds with Commander Tie.
However, even Bushe, who had come from the original Buddhist temple in Gyeonggi Province to seek a career, chose to follow Tie Zhihui. This made Master Kang a little surprised.

It seems that now in Kuang Liuting's Yunjiaozhou court, the two factions are not incompatible, but they are also clearly divided.

Just as several senior officials were invited to take their seats, Sect Master Kang had not yet rested when he heard Kang Rongquan's voice calling out the names of the people: "Deacon of the Yue Family of Hancheng, Yue Feng Zhenxiuhe!"

"The Yue family?" Kang Dabao was surprised. Apart from going to Hancheng to ask for a business license from a master of the Yue family, he had no contact with the Yue family since then.

Master Kang thought he couldn't get close to such a family, so he never sent an invitation to the Yue family in Hancheng. Unexpectedly, a steward from the Yue family came today.

"Greetings, Senior Yue!"

"I am sorry to bother you by coming here uninvited!" Different from the arrogant elder Yue Lan of Liangyi Sect's War Hall, Yue Feng who came to congratulate today looked like a humble gentleman.

Even when facing Kang Dabao, a young Qigong practitioner, his tone was kind and his face was warm.

"It is an honor to have the presence of the senior!" Just as the head of the Kang family led Yue Feng to the front row, the latter went to find Tie Liuyun and others, sat together and started chatting.

When Kang Dabao saw this scene, he seemed to understand where Tie Liuyun got the confidence to win the hearts of the people in the provincial court and compete with Sima Fei.

As the time is almost up, all the guests, whether they should have come or not, have arrived.

Kang Dabao was about to ask his disciples to invite Jiang Qing out to preach, but a strong middle-aged monk came outside the archway. He walked into the gate without waiting for Kang Rongquan to call out his name and said loudly: "Yue Lan, the elder of the Liangyi Sect's War Hall, is coming here uninvited. Please forgive me!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was shocked!

The expression of Master Kang kept changing at this moment, and he suddenly felt uneasy.

At this moment, a thought suddenly came to his mind: the foundation-building ceremony he had been looking forward to for a long time seemed to be developing in a direction he had not expected.
