The road is vague

Chapter 92 Daqian Monk
finally.

Ding Xu and Yang Gang looked at each other and chose to stop at the same time.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Shangguan. Nice to meet you. I'm Ding Xu, a disciple of Shengding Sect. We've only arrived a few days early. Please take a seat!"

The room is not big and the location is limited.

So the disciples in the second and third seats of each sect had to stand up one after another to make room for the disciples from the six western sects, but only the eldest brother of each sect had a place to sit, and the other two could only stand at the back.

Thirty-six people squeezed into a not-so-big room was really too crowded.

It would have been fine for Jiang Sheng and Shi Yongjie to stand behind Li Mo. After all, with Li Mo's current foundation-building stage cultivation, he was already their uncle, so it was only right for him to stand up.

Li Mo looked at the disciples of the six western sects and couldn't help but sigh.

A hundred flowers bloom!

The number of female cultivators from the six western gates actually reached half, and all of them were vying for beauty and had extraordinary looks.

Among the six gates in the east, only Ji Zixi from Shengding Gate and Xing Meiyan from Fenghuo Gate were the kind of stunning female cultivators that were unforgettable. Therefore, during the confrontation between Shengding Gate and Fenghuo Gate just now, many people's eyes were on these two female cultivators.

However, among the six gates in the west, the Xuanbing Gate alone has three female cultivators who are the most beautiful among all, and each of them is as beautiful as Zhao Huaxue.

There were several others who were also very good-looking.

Sitting opposite these beautiful female cultivators at this moment is truly wonderful.

in this way.

No one paid any attention to the three people from Lingmu Sect.

After Shangguan Lingfeng and Ding Xu feigned complaisance, everyone briefly introduced themselves.

"Xuanbing Sect, Chen Bingning, these two are my junior sisters, Chen Xueyan and Chen Shuanghui."

The three people's names are so similar, and their faces and temperaments are exactly the same, which immediately makes people imagine a lot.

Among them, Chen Bingning's eyes were as cold as ice. After entering the room, her eyes never left Yang Gang. It was unknown whether she had taken a fancy to this disciple of Fenghuo Sect, or if there was some other hidden secret.

However, the Fenghuo Sect and the Xuanbing Sect represent different schools of yin and yang magic in the Qian Kingdom, so it is reasonable that there is competition between them.

"I am the Sultan of Jinmumen..."

The Sultan looks ordinary and has a simple and honest look.

Disciples of the Jinmu Sect mainly practice techniques related to alchemy.

Its status is similar to that of the Tianfu Sect among the Six Eastern Sects. It is a sect that no one wants to offend easily, but it cannot get a say at critical moments. When it is needed, it will ask for help in a nice way, but it is usually ignored.

"I'm Zhang Shayu from Qianbian Sect, and this is my junior sister Zhou Miaotong..."

From the moment Zhang Shayu entered the room, his eyes never left Zhang Qiaoer from Baibaomen.

The feud between Qianbian Sect and Baibao Sect is well known.

Both are sects in Qian Country that excel at refining weapons, but the weapons of Baibao Sect are more exquisite and dexterous, and are sought after by elite disciples from various sects.

The magic weapons refined by Qianbian Sect tend to be more open and closed, especially the magic weapons such as axes, halberds, hooks and forks, which are welcomed by the monks in the military.

However, the one who caught people's eyes the most was Zhou Yutong behind Zhang Shayu.

This is a stunning beauty with a graceful and enchanting figure, very similar to the former Jade Fox Wang Ying, but she looks younger, taller and more dignified, with a gentle look in her eyes that makes people want to conquer her.

So much so that everyone instinctively ignored the other junior sister behind Zhang Shayu who was equally beautiful.

"I am Wan Shun, a disciple of the Wanjian Sect..."

The status of Wanjianmen among the six western gates is almost the same as that of Lingmumen.

But the difference between the two factions is that the Wanjian Sect has been in a half-dead state for more than two hundred years. The development of the sect has never improved and has always been in a neglected position.

The Lingmu Sect has only fallen to this point in the past thirty years, but its status is even inferior to that of the Wanjian Sect.

At this moment, Li Mo and Wan Shun were like brothers in distress.

After Li Mo finished his brief self-introduction, he and Wan Shun looked at each other and both of them smiled bitterly. Almost no one paid any attention to them.

Finally, there are the people from the Puppet Gate.

"My name is Liang Geng."

"Zhao Mingjin."

“It’s not easy to learn.”

The three of them completed their self-introductions, and it seemed that no one was willing to give in to the other.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Li Mo even suspected that the three of them might start fighting at any time. It seemed that the three of them rarely sat together.

Li Mo also noticed that the three people from the Puppet Sect and the three people from the Shenji Sect headed by Ma Xuanji did not engage in the confrontation he had imagined.

It seems that although the two sects are both sects that study puppetry, their research concepts of puppetry are too different. One studies traditional beast soldier charging puppets, and the other studies external mechanical armor. On the contrary, there is no feud between Fenghuo Sect and Xuanbing Sect, or Baibao Sect and Qianbian Sect.

in this way.

Disciples from the twelve major sects of Qian Kingdom, led by Shengding Sect and Daowen Sect, gathered together, which was quite lively. However, the main people who communicated were limited to a few relatively powerful sects and the senior brothers of each sect.

As the eldest brother of Lingmu Sect, Li Mo can occasionally say a few words.

Jiang Sheng and Shi Yongjie had no chance to speak at all.

During the entire banquet, the two could only stand behind Li Mo.

Dongfang Gouyu glanced at Li Mo from time to time. He had not been able to say the words "You are looking for death" before. It seemed that he was holding it back, but it was difficult for him to lose his temper in public.

the next day.

The disciples of the twelve sects of Qian Kingdom said goodbye to the people who were responsible for escorting them here under a huge treasure ship.

Before leaving.

Sima Fu, the acting leader of Lingmu Sect, also gave a brief explanation to Li Mo and the other two, saying that he would be waiting here for their return and let them attend the exchange meeting with peace of mind.

"For this exchange meeting, results are secondary; participation is what matters."

Sima Fu looked at Li Mo with a smile, as if he had something else in mind.

"Our sect is currently in a period of weakness and turmoil. You should prioritize gaining experience and knowledge. Try to avoid disputes with disciples from other sects in the Great Qian Nation. Keep a low profile when you are outside, and prioritize your own safety."

"Yes!"

After the three of them bowed in response, Sima Fu nodded, indicating that the three of them could board the ship.

Jiang Wanhu was a Nascent Soul cultivator who was sent by the military high command to escort the disciples of the twelve sects of the Daqian Kingdom to attend an exchange meeting.

This man, wearing a metal helmet, silver-grey chain mail, and a white cape, his face etched with the testament of years of hardship and perseverance, stood on the deck of the Gaochuan ship, overlooking the numerous outstanding disciples from various sects of the Great Qian Nation. The cultivation levels of these people seemed transparent to him.

Therefore, he couldn't help but stay for a while in the direction of the three Lingmu Sect disciples.

That kind of liquid magic power and solidified divine consciousness is undoubtedly from the Foundation Establishment Stage!
"Captain Shang is very cautious and has brought all the information with him."

He muttered to himself, thoughtfully.

"I don't know who is in charge of this escort mission in Lu State, but this person's foundation-building cultivation level is outstanding in the eyes of a Yuanying cultivator. He can be recognized at a glance, making it difficult to achieve a surprise effect. Hehe, fortunately, I am proficient in the art of illusion and concealment. I can conceal it without anyone noticing when the time comes, hehe..."

Cough!

The old man was halfway through laughing when his expression suddenly froze.

"Why don't you smile like a good person?"

He coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, shook his head and continued to ponder.

"However, judging by this disciple's aura, his spirit is concentrated and introverted, his magical power is pure, clearly a perfect match for his main cultivation technique, 'Eye of the True Spirit.' He also has a lightness of form and a clear aura, worthy of an immortal. He's quite skilled at clearing his mind and nourishing his energy, so he's probably not someone obsessed with profit, bloodthirsty, or brutal. Furthermore, Sima Fu of the Spiritual Eye Sect has always been a cautious and prudent person... This kid probably won't be making a big show of himself during the exchange meeting, promoting the prestige of our Great Qian Nation. Sigh."

The main cultivation methods of each sect are different, which will affect the disciples' character to a certain extent.

For example, the characteristic of "Eyes of the True Spirit" is that they are good at observation, so they will have some calming effects on the mind. At the same time, it also requires disciples to be clear-minded and to observe and analyze the properties and laws of all objective things as rationally and calmly as possible.

Next.

Many disciples boarded the treasure ship, and Jiang Wanhu acted like a master.

"From now on, you can call me Jiang Wanhu. I will be responsible for leading you to the territory of Zhongshan State to participate in this exchange meeting. During this period, you are not allowed to leave the treasure ship without my order. Those who disobey will be punished by military law!"

As a Wanhu, Li Mo guessed that this person was most likely a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage!

This was the first time Li Mo had seen a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, and he couldn't help but secretly look at the other person carefully.

But no matter how you look at it, this man is just an old man with gray hair and wearing armor. He hardly shows any demeanor of a hermit, nor does he emanate any magical power or spiritual pressure.

"Yes!"

After everyone agreed, Li Mo, Jiang Sheng and Shi Yongjie were assigned to the same room.

As the treasure ship set sail again, the desolate land outside flashed by.

Li Mo looked out the window for a while, then turned back to look at Jiang Sheng and Shi Yongjie.

"What do you think of the disciples from the twelve major sects of Qian Country participating in this exchange meeting?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sheng's face turned solemn.

“There’s a lot of talent here.”

He had fought against Dongfang Gouyu of Shengding Sect, and both sides were evenly matched. He didn't know how many disciples among these people were similar to Dongfang Gouyu.

But Ding Xu of Shengding Sect and Yang Gang of Fenghuo Sect are undoubtedly of this type.

After thinking for a moment, Shi Yongjie couldn't help but sigh in distress.

"It seems that for these two super sects, only disciples who break through to the tenth level of Qi training in the three-year period can be considered outstanding. I'm sure there are many disciples from other sects who have also reached the tenth level of Qi training. Disciples like me who are lucky enough to be here at the seventh level of Qi training are definitely the last in the group."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sheng let out a long sigh.

"The losses from the sect's internal strife are truly too severe. Almost all resources and energy have been concentrated on the two acting sect leaders, completely neglecting the sect's lower-level disciples. If this continues, the sect will experience a talent gap and will inevitably fall into a vicious cycle. If we are in power in the future, we must never repeat the same mistakes."

Jiang Sheng's love for Lingmumen comes from the bottom of his heart.

Then he looked at Li Mo again.

"Under the current circumstances, we have completely broken off relations with the three people from Shengding Sect. Will this affect our sect?"

"Probably not."

Li Mo was quite calm.

"I bear a great deal of responsibility for this matter. My seclusion during this period of contemplation was indeed ill-considered. However, that Dongfang Gouyu was indeed too much. Fortunately, the Fenghuo Sect stepped forward this time, and the Shenji Sect also refused to be left out. The Tianfu Sect and Baibao Sect showed no intention of following the Shengding Sect. Not to mention whether their mere three Qi Condensation Stage disciples could influence the sect's decision-making. Even if they could, they still had to deal with the real troublemakers first."

Jiang Sheng nodded, thinking that what Li Mo said made sense.

Shi Yongjie couldn't help laughing.

"That Dongfang Gouyu is so ignorant that he wants to challenge you. I wonder what his expression would be if he discovered your true cultivation level. Yang Gang from Fenghuo Sect saved him."

Shi Yongjie was not wrong.

Li Mo almost had the intention to kill just now. He was not a hesitant person when it came to taking action.

The reason why Yang Gang of Fenghuo Sect jumped out was obviously not to protect Lingmu Sect, but after confirming that Lingmu Sect and Shengding Sect were at odds, and with the disturbance caused by Shenji Sect, he no longer had to face the pressure alone, so he dared to confront them head-on.

The treasure ship was extremely fast.

Time flies, seven days have passed.

Spots of green gradually appeared on the vast and desolate Gobi Desert.

"We have arrived at Zhongshan Kingdom."

Li Mo, who was comprehending the spell to summon a thunder beast, slowly put away the jade slip and looked at the scenery outside the window.

As the treasure ship continued to sail, the green vegetation below began to gradually increase.

The scene on the ground is shocking. From time to time, there are large areas of craters and gullies, which greatly changed the topography. These are obviously traces left by the war between Lu and Qian. The hundred-year war has left this place devastated and buried a large number of monks' corpses.

After the treasure ship had sailed for most of the day, a sparkling river appeared in the distance.

The river is connected to a vast lake with lush water and grass nearby. There are many cities of Zhongshan Kingdom nearby. The architectural style looks full of exotic atmosphere, but unfortunately they all have a bit of depression.

Many cities seemed to have been wiped out out of thin air.

The treasure ship did not stay here, but turned around and headed upstream of the river.

After about two days of driving, the land returned to its desolation. The land was reddish-brown, as if it had been soaked in blood, and was filled with an ancient, barren, and decadent atmosphere. They gradually drove towards the strange forbidden formation built in ancient times.

The speed of the treasure ship gradually slowed down.

Li Mo, Jiang Sheng and Shi Yongjie left the room and came to the deck of the treasure ship.

At this time, the disciples of various sects of the Qian Kingdom had already come to the deck and looked into the distance. On the desolate land, there were four treasure ships anchored, three small and one large.

Further away from the four treasure ships was an ancient forbidden formation that covered an area of ​​hundreds of miles.

The space at the edge of the formation seemed to be distorted in some way, like a huge space barrier covering the earth.
