Yuhun Sect.
Gui Daoren and Gu Zhennan sat in the main hall with gloomy expressions.
"Master, shall we attend the founding ceremony of the Dragon Hidden Pavilion?"
"Why not go? The Soul Control Sect can take this opportunity to avenge the humiliation it suffered before."
Ghost Daoist was furious. Previously, Chu Mo had killed a sect elder in front of all the disciples in his own sect.
He then defeated his own apprentice with a single sword strike and lost Changqing Pharmaceutical to the opponent.
Now, when people talk about Chu Mo, they always mention his feat of defeating the sect leader of the Yuhun Sect with a single sword strike.
The sect's reputation has been completely ruined.
What's even more infuriating is that the other party has the backing of the Chinese government, and there's nothing I can do about it.
However, now that this kid has become the head of a sect, if I challenge him to a duel at the sect's founding ceremony, no one will say anything, right?
He wouldn't miss this chance to redeem himself!
...
However, the situation is completely different in other sects.
Although everyone is worried about the development of the Dragon Hidden Pavilion, fearing that it might affect their own status.
Furthermore, given Chu Mo's relationship with the Dragon Kingdom's government, it will be even more difficult for other sects to unite and fight for special privileges.
Chu Mo's recent behavior has even led them to suspect that he wants to monopolize the market.
But no one wanted to antagonize him at this time.
The recent surge in the power of the Chinese government is likely inextricably linked to him.
By now, the miraculous effects of Kunlun Immortal Wine on cultivators are no longer a secret.
There are even rumors that the Dragon Hidden Pavilion possesses a complete cultivation technique that can enable people to cultivate to the highest realm.
Although they didn't quite believe it, there's no smoke without fire.
The right thing to do now is to build a good relationship with him.
...
Kyoto, Central Research Institute.
The place was already bustling with activity, with many old men arguing heatedly.
"Old Mu, as the director of the research institute, why are you getting involved? We'll go instead."
"Yes, you should prioritize the big picture. We can handle these small matters on your behalf."
"A trivial matter? You call the founding ceremony of the Dragon Hidden Pavilion a trivial matter? With my relationship with Xiao Chu, how could I not be there?" Mu Yan shouted in dissatisfaction.
Chen Weiguo, standing to the side, looked utterly helpless.
These people just wanted to take this opportunity to have a few cups of Kunlun Immortal Wine, didn't they?
They said it so nicely, without even blushing.
Zhang Qidao couldn't stand it anymore, but there was nothing he could do.
Finally, Zhou Shouzhen had to speak up and interrupt the argument, saying with a wry smile:
"Go, go, Xiao Chu has already prepared invitations for you."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the guards behind him quickly brought up a box and took out a thick stack of invitations from it.
Almost everyone was invited, from the head of the Dragon Kingdom to some squad leaders and members of the Dragon Soul Guard.
"Hehe, Xiao Chu is really particular."
"Good, good, treating everyone equally. Since the invitations have arrived, of course everyone has to go."
Everyone laughed with satisfaction, their eyes filled with anticipation.
...
Five days later.
On Qingyun Mountain in Nanhua City, there was a joyous atmosphere and a lively atmosphere.
The spacious parking lot at the foot of the mountain was already filled with all kinds of luxury cars.
Many men, women, and children, with dignified demeanors and clearly wealthy and noble, walked up the mountain with smiles on their faces, guided by the disciples of Longyin Pavilion.
The Dragon Kingdom government attached great importance to this opening ceremony, with the Grand Chief himself attending, currently accompanied by Chu Mo in the main hall.
Accompanying him were Zhou Shouzhen, Zhang Qidao, and a group of elderly people from the research institute.
The Dragon Soul Guards were the most complete group.
Not only did Chen Weiguo, the leader, come, but also the instructor Zhu Xiangqian and all the squad leaders were present.
Ouyang Batian, Zhou Feiyang, and others led their three teams to help, treating the place as their own home turf.
We are at the foot of Qingyun Mountain right now.
Two extraordinary-looking monks and Taoists, leading several monks and Taoists with terrifying auras, stood in shock in front of the mountain gate.
The spiritual energy here is incredibly rich!
Compared to their sacred mountain, it is many times more abundant.
But this place doesn't seem to have anything special about it.
The spiritual energy in the surrounding area is also very thin.
"Brother Xuanqing, what do you think of this place?"
An old monk with a white beard asked a question to a thin old Taoist priest next to him.
"The mountain is not high, but it is blessed with natural beauty and spiritual energy, like an ancient paradise, truly a treasure land for us cultivators!"
The old Taoist priest couldn't help but exclaim with emotion, then asked with a puzzled look:
"However, ten miles away from this mountain, it is quite ordinary and unremarkable. This situation is very similar to the legendary ancient Qi-gathering formation."
"I didn't believe it before, but now I'm not so sure."
"Brother Xuanqing, do you mean there's a magic array here that gathers spiritual energy?"
The old monk was shocked, and the hand stroking his silver-white beard froze instantly.
"I cannot be certain, but it is not impossible. This Pavilion Master Chu is probably not simple!"
Master Xuanqing's expression was solemn, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Just as the two were about to climb the mountain together, they both stopped and turned to look behind them.
A hundred meters away, an elderly man with an air of otherworldly wisdom walked gracefully towards them, followed by a dignified-looking middle-aged man.
"Brother Chunyang, it's been many years, but you still look as dashing as ever."
"Haha, Master Xuanqing, Master Tianxin, it's been a long time."
The visitors were none other than Zhang Chunyang, the old Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, and his eldest disciple Zhang Haoran.
