After careful consideration, Qianwei realized that since the Qianlong Sect was poisoned by the vampires, its membership had been the smallest among the three sects.

"Do you need an exact number?" Qianwei asked.

As Chen Zhou walked through the rows of tall trees, his thoughts drifted. When he heard Qian Wei's question, Chen Zhou subconsciously replied, "About."

Few people visit Qianlong Mountain now, so the mountain roads haven't been inspected for a long time, making them unrecognizable.

Qianwei nodded and immediately began to recall and calculate the approximate number. The number was not very large, but it still startled Chen Zhou when he said it.

"1,200 people."

Chen Zhou couldn't help but feel pain. The number sounded small, but it would definitely be very difficult to actually achieve it!

"Now that I've helped Brother Qian detoxify once, although I didn't expend much internal energy, I definitely used up my time and energy. Now that I have experience, I wonder if I can shorten the time it takes to do it alone?" Chen Zhou muttered to himself.

“Brother, there are quite a few people. If you are in a hurry, you can first treat the children of my Qianlong Sect to detoxify. They are the true hope of the sect,” Qianwei said quickly.

"It's alright. My master's orders are paramount. Even if I'm in a rush, I must complete the orders he gave me. So you don't need to worry about that. What you need to worry about is how to deal with the stubborn faction," Chen Zhou continued slowly.

Upon hearing this, Qianwei replied, "Okay! I will definitely help you get it."

Chen Zhou nodded his thanks, and as Qianwei gradually quickened his pace, Chen Zhou immediately followed suit.

“This Qianlong Mountain really hasn’t changed at all,” Wo Yuan said slowly. Wo Yuan’s words made sense. Wo Yuan had been to Qianlong Mountain many times, always with the main group. At that time, she thought the Qianlong Sect was very powerful.

But now, the Hidden Dragon Sect is very close, and the four of them will soon be approaching.

"Of course nothing has changed. Over the years, the Hidden Dragon Sect has been in seclusion, with no outsiders entering, so naturally nothing has changed. Moreover, the conservative faction within the sect still holds considerable power, so the sect has never undergone any major reforms. Those old conservatives are just too stubborn."

Qian replied.

"So how did the three of you meet?" Chen Zhou suddenly asked. He hadn't thought about this question before. These three had been together before they even met him. Wasn't the Qianlong Sect in seclusion? Why would the people of the Qianlong Sect be on good terms with the Sulong Sect and the Wolong Sect?

"This is a long story. Before the feud between our sects had subsided, our three major sects often held gatherings at Qianlong Mountain. Because Qianlong Mountain is located between Sulong Mountain and Wolong Mountain, this geographical location is perfect for holding gatherings."

"The three of us met at a party, and then we started hanging out together. Whenever there was a party, the three of us would go and have fun together. So the three of us have long had a very important friendship, so even if there are grudges between the sects, we will never let them affect our pure friendship. Our friendship is inviolable."

Qianwei, the oldest of the three, was actually the weakest.

As the weakest of the three, Qianwei was originally the eldest brother, but now it seems that if any danger arises, his role will be far less significant than that of the two before him. To put it bluntly, he is merely a Foundation Establishment cultivator, while the other two are at the Fusion and Heartbeat stages respectively, both stronger than him.

"I see." Chen Zhou nodded, indicating that he understood. These three were actually quite old? When they were young, the three factions of Wolong were still in harmony, which meant that they had all been involved in that great battle.

Moreover, they were the ones who witnessed the entire process of their sect's relationship with the other sect deteriorating, and they were probably more heartbroken than anyone else at that time.

But what could he do? He was too young at the time to make any significant contributions to the three major sects of Wolong, so he had very little say.

"We've arrived... Master..." Qianwei hurriedly came to catch up with the four of them. The rules of the Qianlong Sect were beyond Chen Zhou's imagination.

Because what first appeared in front of Chen Zhou was not a large archway, nor any banner, but only a series of unusual, strange rocks.

These strange rocks were arranged in a very peculiar way, and each of them had a small character carved on it, which Chen Zhou could not see clearly even from a distance.

Even now, up close, Chen Zhou still couldn't see clearly.

It wasn't until Qianwei explained to himself, "That's the dragon pattern cultivated by our Qianlong sect."

Upon hearing Qian Wei's explanation, Chen Zhou immediately became excited. The dragon pattern was tattooed directly on the gate? It seems that the Qianlong Sect doesn't value the dragon pattern technique very much!

As Chen Zhou was thinking this, he didn't expect that the moment he thought this, he would hear Ren Lao's words.

"What nonsense are you thinking about again? These are none of your business! Get back into the sect immediately!" Elder Ren said at this moment.

Chen Zhou did not enter the spiritual world to resist Elder Ren, but instead obediently followed Qian Wei into the sect. Chen Zhou had seen the Su Long sect before, so he subconsciously thought that the Qian Long sect's residence was much poorer than the Su Long sect's residence.

Many of these people don't even have houses because they are too poor to afford to build them, so they are all homeless. This was the scene Chen Zhou saw as soon as he entered.
