"Yes, it's been quite a few years."
It can be seen from Elder Mu's expression that he was a little hesitant, but for some reason he still agreed.
Elder Mu turned and looked at Jiang Li and the others.
"Qiu Hua, you stay with Alliance Leader Jiang. Mother is going to go see an old friend."
Mu Chunhao originally wanted to take Shenshan Qiuhua in with him, but after hearing what Elder Mu said, he did not force it.
On the way here, she had instructed Shenshan Qiuhua to contact the Mu family. I don't know how much she considered.
Mu Chunhao looked at Jiang Li, who was so familiar with both of them, and became a little more curious.
I heard that an alliance was formed in the Dachongshan area. It was hard for anyone to imagine that such a young man would become the leader of the alliance.
"Leader Jiang of Chongshan League is indeed young and promising. The banquet has not started yet. Brother Jiang can go to the cabinet with cousin Qiu Hua first."
"The young people from all the sects in the East Region are all there. You can get to know them and make more friends in the future. You can also participate in the small games inside. The prizes are quite good."
He smiled and said, then he and Elder Mu walked into the depths of the peach forest.
Only two peach blossoms were left for the two of them.
According to Mu Chunhao, by pinning this peach blossom on your collar or cuffs, you can enter the higher-level cabinet of the circle.
Those who can gather there are basically monks from the members of the Si Shen Temple. Their identities are completely different from those outside.
At least the people inside wouldn't be so fawning to the eldest son of the Mu family.
As the leader of Chongshan League, it is his duty to build good relations with other sects.
After bidding farewell to the shopkeeper Jiang of Yaowangxuan, they pinned two peach blossoms on their collar and cuffs. After a moment, the scene in front of their eyes slowly changed.
Amid the dense and messy peach blossom forest ahead, there appeared a narrow path that led to nowhere.
It turns out that this peach blossom forest is shrouded in sophisticated formations and illusions. Only by wearing these tokens can one see more things.
Jiang Li's eyes narrowed slightly. Although he had not observed it before, he did not even notice the formation, which showed the high level of the person who set up the formation.
The Mu family has been operating here for thousands of years, and their profound foundation is incomparable to that of ordinary sects. No one in Dazhong Mountain can do this level of formation.
"Let's go in and take a look."
For a talented formation master, the fun of breaking through the formation is endless.
Stepping onto the winding path, all you see is pink.
I have to say that the scenery in this formation is quite good, and it should not be a problem to be rated as a 5A scenic spot.
Being alone with Jiang Li in such a charming environment, Shenshan Qiuhua's face turned red again, and it was not known whether it was because of the reflection of the peach blossoms or because she was thinking about something embarrassing.
However, Alliance Leader Jiang did not pay attention to what the little girl who was so close to him was thinking.
As a newly promoted master of formations, Jiang Li focused all his attention on every plant and tree around him.
You can't see anything on the surface. Every tree looks the same. If you stare at them for a long time, you won't be able to see any patterns. It's not surprising to experience symptoms such as dizziness and vomiting.
Jiang Li could even feel that this formation was alive.
The nodes of the formation under the ground seemed to be moving all the time. Even if the formation master figured out the rules of the formation, the entire formation would change completely in a short time, making all efforts fail.
Many formation masters have challenged this place before, but only a few were able to break it.
This is the formation constructed based on spiritual plants and creatures. It is indeed mysterious.
However, the surface of this formation was covered with a layer of illusion, which was not something he was good at.
Jiang Li quietly reached his hand into the coffin, and the female ghost Qin Shuman followed his hand and entered his body.
With the help of Qin Shuman, the hazy peach blossom illusion immediately dissipated, and everything in front of him became more real.
Moreover, Jiang Li's method of breaking the formation is different from others. He does not need to find the nodes and rules of the formation. He only needs to focus on the ground veins that the formation relies on.
Jiang Li can even use his talent to directly change the earth veins, and then any sophisticated formation will be useless.
At this time, on a high pavilion not far away, a group of young men were bragging and talking nonsense together.
Some said they had just obtained a powerful divine weapon, some said they had heroically killed several powerful monsters, and some said the daughter of a small family had thrown herself into his arms.
They were a group of second-generation sect members who were familiar with the Mu family. Just hanging out together was a way for the many sects to maintain their relationship.
Apart from anything else, the cultivation aura of each of them is not weak, and the weakest one is above the Jindan stage.
Among the young people of the same age, there are indeed few who can compare with them in Dachongshan.
Even Chu Yunxuan's cultivation level can only be considered average among them.
A group of them were currently gathered around a chessboard, watching the game between two of the players.
When the chess pieces on the desktop chessboard move, changes will also appear on the enlarged chessboard below the pavilion.
However, in the enlarged chessboard, the chess pieces are not chess pieces, but have been replaced by their respective monster beasts and pets.
When chess pieces collide, the monsters in the same square will fight each other, the winner keeps the pieces and the loser loses the pieces.
In this kind of chess game, the key to playing is no longer skill and wisdom, but the quality of the "chess pieces".
If you have a high-quality chess piece, even just one, you can eat all sixteen of the opponent's chess pieces.
This way of playing chess is more in line with the interests of the second generation of these sects.
At this time, on the field, there were sixteen giant bears with silver-white hair and bodies as big as elephants.
On the other side, only two leopards were left struggling to hold on. After two more rounds, they were helplessly defeated.
The Beast Madness Sect's beast taming skills are indeed outstanding, and they have an advantage in this kind of chess game.
After the game was over, everyone congratulated the monk who was as big as a violent bear.
They were just about to start the next round when a formation plate not far from them suddenly reacted.
Everyone became interested.
"Oh? Someone's here again."
"Master Chunkong, who is coming this time?"
Accompanying them in the pavilion was Mu Chunkong, whom Jiang Li had met before.
This person had received the news before and made a trip to the Mazu River Basin in Dachong Mountain.
Although a little bit of the breath of the Nine Nether Wood was detected, it was just as Jiang Li said, the time interval was a bit too long, and after searching for a while, nothing was found in the end.
It was the time when the nine-yearly Peach Festival was about to begin, so he rushed back.
However, there was still no news about his younger brother Mu Chunyang, which made the family a little suspicious. They suspected that something might have happened to them.
"let me see."
Mu Chunkong's fingers brushed across a token on his waist, and then he pointed at the array plate. A picture of a peach blossom maze appeared on the array plate.
A man and a woman, dressed in Chongshan embroidered robes and Shushan disciple uniforms, were walking through the peach blossom forest.
Mu Chunkong, who had just met Jiang Li not long ago, naturally recognized him at a glance.
"It's them."
"Who are they? I don't think I've seen them among the younger generation."
Others were a little confused. The Eastern Region was a big place, but not too big either. People in their circle had more or less come across it.
Occasionally, a new person would come and be introduced, but they had never heard of these two people.
"They are not famous people. They come from a small force in a remote area. It is natural that you don't recognize them."
"That female cultivator is related to my clan. She is my cousin."
The others understood and became more interested in the sweet-looking Shenshan Qiuhua. As for Jiang Li, they looked down on him somewhat.
"I see. I heard that the monks in small places don't have much ability. How long do you think it will take them to get here?"
"I think it will take at least five hours. Judging from the man's appearance, he has probably never seen this kind of maze before."
"Hey, even if they don't get on the peach blossom branch, it's still a bottom line to figure out the Nine Palaces Yishu of the peach blossom formation. If this is not possible, let them stay in there."
"Haha, Master Cheng is right. Not everyone can associate with us."
A group of people were pretentious, and only a few of them stood aside without saying anything. Some of them looked at Jiang Li's face with a half-smile on their faces, and no one knew what they were thinking.

"Eh...wait, that's not right, is he looking at us?"
While everyone was chatting and laughing, one of the female cultivators noticed that Jiang Li in the picture suddenly looked up, and his eyes seemed to be looking at them.
Jiang Li just made two finger gestures, and a peach blossom not far away trembled twice, and the picture on the array plate suddenly disappeared.
Even the entire formation began to jump uncontrollably.
Mu Chunkong was shocked. He had never seen such a situation before.
Then after a few breaths, the Peach Blossom Formation began to tremble in front of this group of second-generation sect members.
The lush peach blossoms spread out to both sides, turning the winding Nine-square Goat Trail into a straight and broad road.
At first glance, at the end of the Peach Blossom Avenue, were Jiang Li and the other person whom they had just seen through the formation.
A group of young people looked at each other in bewilderment. What kind of operation was this? That person actually found the flaw in the peach forest formation, cracked it easily, and even took control of it.
The level of the Mu family's peach blossom formation is not ordinary. Although there are foreign guests visiting now, Teyi has reduced the strength of the outer formation, it is indeed a bit exaggerated to achieve this level.
With such a high level of formation pattern, could it be that the other party is really from a small force in a remote area?
Mu Chunkong held the token in his hand and poked and tapped the array plate, but the peach blossom forest array in front of him seemed to be stuck and did not respond at all.
The action looked a little funny.
Following the avenue that appeared, Jiang Li and the others walked into the pavilion easily. Then they waved their hands and the peach blossom formation and the formation plate returned to their original state.
"Alliance leader Jiang Li... is indeed a good man."
Mu Chunkong was very embarrassed that he couldn't defeat Jiang Li even though he had mastered the core formation.
The expressions of the other second generation were not much better. They had just passed the Nine Palace Formation with great difficulty. It was obvious that there was a huge and insurmountable gap between them and Jiang Li in terms of formation.
"Isn't this Master Chunkong? Thank you for your help before. It would be rude of us not to thank you. Please come to Chongshan League as a guest next time."
"Everyone, I am Jiang Li from Chongshan League."
Jiang Li first exchanged some official greetings with Mu Chunkong, and then bowed to everyone as a greeting.
Most of the people present just nodded, wondering about the background of this stranger Jiang Li.
But one of them, a tall and burly man who was obviously taller than an ordinary man and wearing a silver bear skin, gave him an unfriendly look.
"Are you from Chongshan League? Humph, you're unlucky to run into me here."
"Do you have the guts to duel with me? It's a fight to see who's better, or to decide life or death!"
The man walked out of the crowd, smiling cruelly and revealing a mouth full of bloodthirsty fangs.
"Duel? Who are you?"
Jiang Li was still a little unresponsive. It seemed that this person didn't know him before.
Why did he suddenly want to duel with him when he heard that he was a cultivator from Chongshan League?
"Humph! I am Barosa from the Beast Madness Sect."
"You don't know me, but the affairs of the Iron Wolf Sect are the affairs of my Beast Madness Sect. The Heavy Mountain Alliance snatched food from the wolf's mouth, and you thought you didn't have to pay a price?"
Jiang Li slapped his forehead and remembered that he had secretly tricked the Iron Wolf Sect on the issue of the Mo Sect.
Later, when the Si Shen Temple was transferring merits, the Iron Wolf Sect was secretly notified due to the unethical actions of a vicious staff member.
In the end, even their 630,000 merits were almost snatched away by someone else.
Although his identity was not exposed at the beginning, after the merits were transferred, he could no longer hide it.
In fact, if the Iron Wolf Sect had not lost so many men in the previous Qianluo Burial, they would have come to cause trouble for the Chongshan League long ago.
The Beast Madness Sect and the Iron Wolf Sect can be said to be of the same blood and have a very good relationship.
This Barosa should be a descendant of the Silver Bear lineage in the Beast Madness Sect.
It just happened to happen today, and it's obviously not going to end well.
"Barosa! This is my Mu family's peach forest. No one can kill people here at will."
Seeing that the sturdy man wanted to kill someone, Mu Chunkong hurried forward to stop him. It was not because he wanted to protect Jiang Li, but because the dignity of the Mu family could not be challenged by outsiders.
Barosa glanced at Mu Chunkong. At least he was not crazy enough to provoke the Mu family for such a thing.
But he obviously didn't intend to let it go.
"Tsk, if it complies with the rules, then if he dies, it can only be blamed on his incompetence."
"That kid named Jiang, do you dare to play a game of life and death chess with me?"
The sturdy man Barosa stared at Jiang Li, and pointed his carrot-thick fingers at the large chessboard outside the pavilion. Sixteen blood-stained silver bears on the chessboard were roaring and screaming excitedly. It was obvious that the fighting just now was not enough to satisfy them.
The so-called life and death chess means that the chess player himself also enters the chessboard as a chess piece.
All rules remain unchanged, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God.
This beast fighting chess game was originally arranged by the Mu family. If that was the case, Mu Chunkong would no longer continue to object and just said something to Jiang Li.
"You can choose to refuse. He can't do anything to you in the Mu family."
These words were spoken to Jiang Li and also to Barossa.
You can’t do it in the Mu family, but you can do it outside.
Looking at the burly man with murderous intent, Jiang Li felt helpless.
For the sake of Mo Men’s merits, these things were involved.
If I kill this guy, I'll probably get into trouble again.
trouble!
But there is no other way. Seizing interests is something that a sect must go through when developing its power, and some wars must be fought.
One punch is enough to prevent a hundred punches from coming.
