Chapter 338: A Chicken Standing Out from the Cranes, Task Assignment

Watching Zheng Fa and others flying into Tongming Mountain with Master Tongming, Master Chen moved his fingers and stuffed another storage bag into the sleeve of the disciple who was guiding them.

Now, not to mention Master Fang Yuan and his disciples, even the disciple who was guiding them all looked bewildered - this gift came for no apparent reason!

"Please help me find out which counties the Jiushan Sect will be assigned to, so I can follow them..."

Upon hearing this, the disciple from Tongming Mountain looked at Master Chen with immediate respect.

Even Fang Yuan understood what Master Chen was planning.

Even Master Tong Ming thinks so highly of Zheng Fa. It will be safe if you follow Jiushan Sect!

…

Zheng Fa naturally didn't know all this. He followed Master Tongming to the guest room, settled all the disciples of the Jiushan Sect, and then took Senior Sister Zhang with him, and was led by Master Tongming to the sect lobby of Tongming Mountain.

"You, the Jiushan Sect, are considered to have arrived late. Now, in addition to the five Transformed Gods from the Five Xuanwei Sects, three Transformed Gods from other sects have also arrived, plus a dozen Yuanying great cultivators, all of whom are in the hall to discuss matters."

"Three gods?"

Zheng Fa was also surprised when he heard this.

The Hundred Immortals Alliance dared to occupy such a large piece of land with just Master Tongming, who had reached the level of a deity, and even shouted the slogan of the Sixth Xuanwei Sect.

Now there are three more gods?

Where did this grow? "Two of them are the same as me."

Master Tongming smiled and said meaningfully.

"Just like you, Master..."

Zheng Fa muttered to himself, and understood the meaning of this sentence in his heart - it is a secret teaching of the Tai Shang Dao.

So, in this battle alone, Tai Shang Dao brought out four gods.

If you don't push it, you won't know the potential of the Five Xuanwei Sects...

"I don't know the origins of the other one either." Master Tongming went on to introduce, "As for the ten or so great monks, they are also the heads or elders of the major sects nearby."

Zheng Fa nodded secretly.

The so-called great cultivators in the Xuanwei Realm refer to cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage. They are certainly very strong, but they are not on the same level as the Spiritualization Stage:

It can be seen from Jiushan Sect that Jiushan Sect is not short of Nascent Soul inheritance, but it has not even touched the level of Divine Transformation before.

As he walked, Zheng Fa realized that he had learned a lot:

Before he even entered the hall, he smelled waves of subtle fragrance that permeated his soul and made the Jade Book of Creation in his body leap for joy. Looking in the direction where the fragrance came from, Zheng Fa saw dozens of beautiful female cultivators in light white ladies' dresses. Starting from the entrance of the hall, they held lanterns and stood motionless against the wall, as if illuminating the hall.

The fragrance comes from this lantern.

"Ming Dao Candle."

Senior Sister Zhang at the side suddenly said softly, with a hint of surprise in her usually cold eyes.

Zheng Fa understood her surprise. Mingdao Candle was very precious in the Xuanwei Realm. It was rumored that practicing with Mingdao Candle could speed up the practice. More importantly, it made the spiritual power active and agile, which was beneficial for the cultivator's breakthrough.

This thing has some effect on Nascent Soul.

It's really worth the money.

Zheng Fa inexplicably began to feel distressed - although he owned the Nine Mountains Realm, he had never been so corrupt...

After all, the number of cultivators he wants to train is far more than that of ordinary sects.

Zheng Fa looked at the female cultivators and was even more surprised. Many of them had participated in the Hundred Immortals Dharma Assembly, and most of them were Jindan disciples. In other words, they were geniuses in the Hundred Immortals Alliance and the best of the next generation of disciples. But now they were serving as maids here? Judging from the expressions of these female disciples, they were all proud of it.

Zheng Fa understood it as soon as he thought about it - those sitting here were at least great monks, so it was normal for Jindan to have no seat in the hall.

More importantly, although they were in front of the lampstand, they could still absorb a few puffs of the Mingdao candle. If they were close, they might even absorb more.

To be honest, it’s not a loss.

As we walked into the hall, the clear hierarchy of the monks became even more obvious.

Master Chengkong and the other eight gods sat at the top, while the other dozen or so great monks had their seats near the gate.

In front of each person there is a low table, on which there are some spiritual wine, spiritual fruits, spiritual beast meat and other food. It can be seen that they are also top-quality spiritual materials and spiritual meat, and do not in any way disgrace the status of these Nascent Souls who have become gods.

Zheng Fa understood it at a glance: in this hall, those below the Nascent Soul stage have to stand, either as decoration or as maids, and are not allowed to eat.

Yuanying cultivators can sit down and eat, but they cannot sit at the head of the table, let alone speak.

Only the Gods of Transformation were the protagonists. No Nascent Soul in the hall dared to speak. There were only the voices of the Gods of Transformation talking, laughing, or arguing.

However, these Nascent Soul cultivators still had to listen. Not only did they have to listen, they also had to respond accordingly to the words of each Divine Transformation master...

This meal is so tiring.

Zheng Fa paused and suddenly began to think about one thing - should he also get a lantern? The lantern was a joke, the problem was that he didn't know where to sit.

"Zheng Fa?"

It was Master Chengkong who spoke up. He glanced at Zheng Fa, as if he saw his confusion, pointed to an empty seat nearby and said, "We're waiting for you."

The hall immediately fell silent. The location that Master Chengkong pointed to was next to Xie Qingxue from the Tianhe Sect.

Everyone watched as Zheng Fa, who was clearly in the early stage of the Golden Core, walked past the Yuanying stage cultivators, bowed to the three new gods, and then sat down in the small circle of the Five Xuanwei Sects with Senior Sister Zhang.

Zheng Fa only felt that everyone's eyes were directed at him from all directions, as if he was looking at a husky, and he calmly walked into the wolf pack.

He didn't really care - although he was only half a god, he was a doubles player.

Senior Sister Zhang is also half a god! When the two of them are combined, they are said to be a divine being, but that is just being modest.

If you are not convinced, you can interview the Blood River Ancestor!

There was just a look in his eyes that he felt was a little strange, as if it contained deep resentment.

When Zheng Fa turned around, he saw Yan Wushuang standing straight behind Xie Qingxue, staring at him with a somewhat aggrieved look on his face.

...This is a true friend, I can’t let him be wronged.

Zheng Fa squeezed towards Senior Sister Zhang, leaving an empty seat, and gestured to Yan Wushuang that there was room for another person to sit there.

Yan Wushuang couldn't help but laugh, but as soon as he took a step, he felt a chill on his back.

Xie Qingxue glanced at him and said coldly, "My seat is big, how about you squeeze in with me?"

Yan Wushuang looked at Zheng Fa and the others, who were leaning against each other with their arms and knees pressed together, and then looked at his senior sister, who was emitting a cold sword aura...

He swallowed and held his saliva for a long time before saying, "I'm fine standing."

…

Master Chengkong looked at Zheng Fa, who was chatting and laughing freely, and even seemed to be in the mood to make a joke, and showed a hint of satisfaction. The other gods also had a bit more respect in their expressions when they looked at him.

Even Master Tongming smiled and nodded at Zheng Fa.

They would not appreciate any crazy behavior, the problem is that the situation is special now, and it is time for everyone to contribute and those who are capable should take on the responsibility.

Zheng Faruo behaved too timidly and modestly, which made him seem unworthy of the task.

Now that he is a golden elixir, sitting in the spirit transformation pile, he can have such a relaxed attitude, which actually seems very confident, which makes people feel more at ease.

Perhaps he was really just waiting for Zheng Fa and the other two. After he sat down, Master Tongming stood up from his seat and coughed lightly.

Everyone in the hall put down their glasses and looked up at him.

"With the help of the five envoys, we have gathered together to discuss the strategy of eradicating the demon sect. This is indeed a major matter for maintaining the righteousness of heaven and earth!"

Master Tongming set the tone as soon as he opened his mouth.

Everyone had a strange yet serious look on their faces as they listened to him.

"In the past period of time, our Hundred Immortals Alliance was invaded and bullied by the Great Freedom Demon Sect. Several Yuanying died, and I don't know how many of the disciples' families lost their lives. The resources of the alliance were plundered completely."

"My Hundred Immortals Alliance is suffering!"

As Master Tongming spoke, his eyes became a little red.

Everyone in the hall was speechless.

"But it's different now that the five envoys have arrived! As soon as envoy Chengkong arrived, he destroyed the two blood evil flags of the Great Freedom Demon Sect. It can be said that he saved the people of Xuanwei from danger!"

"Today, the envoys from Tianhe Sect, Haori Mountain, Leiyin Temple, and Yaochi have arrived. Our Hundred Immortals Alliance is even more confident and no longer afraid of the Great Freedom Demon Sect!"

"If it weren't for the five envoys, this area would have become a demon's den sooner or later."

"Here, please allow me to toast the five emissaries first!"

After saying that, he picked up the wine cup on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

The four people including Master Chengkong looked at each other and drank a glass of spiritual wine.

After Master Tongming finished speaking, he turned to the three gods and the dozen or so great monks who had come and said, "I, Tongming, am even more grateful that you all came to help me. You all understand that the lips and teeth are cold, and you all help each other... I, Tongming, will remember this noble cause in my heart."

When he said this, these people naturally said they didn't dare, but their expressions were all gentle.

Zheng Fa's eyes looked a little strange - he had never realized that Master Tongming had such eloquence: when he just came in, Zheng Fa vaguely felt that the atmosphere in this hall was not very good.

Not to mention the three gods, the expressions of these great monks who came here could hardly be described as unwilling.

It is easy to understand that the Jiushan Sect hesitated after receiving the call to action, and the same is naturally true for other sects. They came here probably because they were afraid of the Xuanwei Five Sects.

He guessed at the time that since Master Tongming used Mingdao candles and loved wine and meat, he probably also had the intention of appeasing everyone.

But Master Tongming's words really dispelled this resentment.

This person said three things openly and secretly: If Master Chengkong hadn't been here, the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor would have come to kill him long ago.

These five envoys are the main force in this attack on the Great Freedom Demon Sect, so please stop forcing us.

Without the Hundred Immortals Alliance, the Great Freedom Demon Cult will not let you go.

But he said these three sentences extremely appropriately, praising the Five Xuanwei Sects and the great monks who came to help.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The truth was strong but the attitude was soft, and everyone in the hall understood it silently.

Everyone was silent for a moment, then responded one after another. There was actually a sense of unity.

Zheng Fa looked at Master Chengkong, wondering: What kind of Tai Shang Dao did this Master Tongming learn? What did he learn from Tai Shang Dao? Political science?

After Master Tongming finished speaking, he looked at Master Chengkong. Obviously, his main function was ideological work. For the next step of issuing orders, his status was not enough, so Master Chengkong had to come.

Master Chengkong smiled and tapped the Qingjing Bamboo in his hand lightly in the air. Golden light sprinkled on the bamboo leaves and condensed into a gold foil-like curtain. Painted on the curtain was the map of Chen County.

"Now, all the disciples of the Great Freedom Demon Sect have retreated to Chen County. According to my estimation, there should be at least tens of millions of people in the Great Freedom Demon Sect."

Everyone was shocked, but Zheng Fa had expected it.

This number should be too low - even in the Nine Mountains Realm, there are 30 million people.

The Great Freedom Demon Cult has been operating the secret realm for hundreds of thousands of years, and only counts a population of over 100 million, which is probably an underestimate, but I'm afraid Master Chengkong knows the exact number better than I do.

"Of course, among them, there are only about 100,000 people with cultivation skills, and those who hold the Blood Evil Flag must have a cultivation level of at least Golden Core. We estimate that there are no more than a thousand of them."

This number sounds much smaller.

But in fact, it is also very terrifying, at least the size of ten Hundred Immortal Alliances.

Even this ratio is high:

Zheng Fa himself calculated that in the Xuanwei Realm, there is probably only one cultivator among every ten thousand people.

The ratio of golden elixir to qi training is actually difficult to calculate: because golden elixir lives longer, the ratio of golden elixir to qi training in the sect appears to be higher.

This is even more obvious when it comes to Nascent Souls. Before, there were more than a dozen Golden Cores in the Jiushan Sect, and there were three Nascent Souls. It is naturally not possible for four or five Golden Cores to produce a Nascent Soul - the main reason is that the old man and the others lived too long.

But no matter how you calculate it, the ratio of golden elixirs in the Great Freedom Demon Sect is higher than that of normal immortal sects.

The bloodline of the Great Freedom Demon Sect may still be helpful for cultivation.

In comparison, the population controlled by the immortal sects gathered today is far greater than the secret realm of the Great Freedom Demon Sect.

But the total number of golden elixirs should not exceed 300...

"Where's the Nascent Soul?"

Someone asked.

“We have an advantage above the Nascent Soul stage.” Master Chengkong said, “This time we have gathered nearly a hundred Nascent Souls. The cultivation methods of the Demon Sect are often fast in the early stages, but later on they are not as good as our Immortal Sect’s methods…”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

There is still a fight to be had.

After all, the Xuanwei Realm is still one where the strong are respected, and quantity cannot defeat quality.

"Since we have the advantage, we cannot give the Great Freedom Demon Sect any chance to breathe when we enter Chen County this time." Master Chengkong pointed at the map and said, "I have only looked up the Five-Directional Blood Evil Formation in the classics, and the specific strangeness is not fully recorded in the classics."

"The Great Freedom Demon Cult's methods are strange, we must be on guard."

"If we cannot wipe out all the disciples of the Demon Sect in Chen County who are above the Golden Core level and allow the Great Free Demon Ancestor to find a place to revive, all our efforts will be in vain."

Everyone nodded.

This time when they attacked Chenjun, they not only sought victory, but also mainly wanted to prevent the arrival of the Great Free Demon Ancestor.

This is the most troublesome thing. After all, they have not figured out the methods of the Great Freedom Demon Cult.

"Therefore, I plan to divide the troops into six groups! Each master of the God Transformation Stage will lead a group of cultivators to encircle Chen County. Each group will be responsible for two counties. We will sweep them away without sparing any demonic cultivators above the Golden Core Stage!"

Master Chengkong clicked six times on the map, and a circle was faintly formed.

Zheng Fa frowned when he heard this.

That's a bit too confident.

If they were defeated one by one...

"I, Fairy Xie and Master Wuzhi will provide support everywhere..."

Zheng Fa looked up and from Master Cheng Kong's tone, it seemed that he and Xie Qingxue were regarded as the three strongest people here.

Let’s not talk about Master Chengkong, the true disciple of the Supreme Dao, the hidden leader of this alliance, and the fierce man who took advantage of Chen County and returned alone with the Qingjing Bamboo.

The other two...

"Fairy Xie is in charge of the immortal sword left by Venerable Tianhe, and Master Wuzhi is proficient in a secret technique called the Six Divine Powers from the Leiyin Temple."

"Not only does he have divine eyes and divine ears that can see through the universe, he also has divine feet. With just one step, he can take Fairy Xie and I to support us everywhere..."

Zheng Fa immediately understood Master Cheng Kong's arrangement:

These three people were probably the strongest in the hall. He even suspected that Master Chengkong was probably hoping that the people from the Great Freedom Demon Sect would come and defeat them one by one, in order to give those gods a surprise.

After hearing what he said, the others felt a lot more relieved.

"These six routes...what do you six think?"

Master Chengkong pointed his finger six times. In addition to the two gods from Haori Mountain and Yaochi, Zheng Fa saw him point at the other three gods who came to help, and finally pointed his finger at himself.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Zheng Fa. Zheng Fa was not a true deity, so if there was any problem, it would probably be along this path.

Zheng Fa was also a little hesitant... He knew that Master Cheng Kong thought highly of him, but he was also not willing to let Jiushan Sect be the main force.

The lack of endurance is a fatal flaw. If there really were to be a few attacks from the God Transformation Masters, Senior Sister Zhang would be seriously injured after just two hits.

Although they can hide in the Nine Mountains Realm, once they retreat, this route will collapse. If this gives the Great Free Demon Ancestor a chance to be resurrected... that would be a big problem.

For Zheng Fa, what he was considering was whether he could complete the task. If something went wrong, not to mention the blame from others, the favoritism of the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor would be terrifying.

As if seeing his hesitation, or perhaps wanting everyone to work harder, Master Chengkong said: "If this battle is successful, the Hundred Immortals Alliance, I, the Supreme Dao, and even the other four sects will reward you at all costs!"

Hearing him say this, everyone looked at the people from the other four sects.

Sure enough, these people nodded slightly, as if they agreed with Master Cheng Kong’s words.

"May I ask...what rewards are there?"

Someone couldn't help but ask.

Master Chengkong shook the Qingjing Bamboo in his hand and said with a faint smile: "I will never let you down."

Obviously, he is very confident in the foundation of Tai Shang Dao.

Zheng Fa, however, looked at the quiet bamboo and thought to himself - he wanted this bamboo, but he didn't know whether Master Cheng Kong would still be able to smile.

Master Chengkong looked at Zheng Fa, holding the Qingjing Bamboo, and flicking it in his palm, as if waiting for Zheng Fa to make a decision - this was too tempting.

At this moment, Xie Qingxue said, "I can lead the way."

Obviously she saw Zheng Fa's dilemma.

But Master Chengkong frowned: "Thank you, Fairy. If it were Master Wuzhi and I, I'm afraid we wouldn't have the confidence to deal with the most dangerous situation..."

Everyone understood that he was referring to the situation where the Demon Sect's incarnations gathered together. With three people together, Master Chengkong seemed confident, but without Xie Qingxue, he no longer had this certainty.

Zheng Fa was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "How many Nascent Soul cultivators are there in each group?"

Master Chengkong was stunned, and then he heard Zheng Fa continue: "After all, my Jiushan Sect does not have a true Divine Transformation... If we want to be responsible for the whole route alone, we must send more Nascent Souls."

"That's fine..."

Master Chengkong nodded slowly, but his expression was very puzzled, and so were the others.

After all, everyone is afraid of being besieged by the God Transformation Realm, so what’s the use of having more Nascent Soul Realms?
