More than three years ago, the area outside the Cangwu Sect's mountain gate was completely empty, but now the changes have been earth-shaking.
There are rows of attics and houses, stretching for hundreds of miles from the mountain gate of Cangwu Sect.
Like a ribbon, it surrounded the Cangwu Sect.
There are several markets that provide trading services for the monks, and many small sects that have voluntarily become vassals of the Cangwu Sect have taken root here.
There was an endless stream of monks coming and going among the newly built carved and painted buildings.
It is now evening.
Every building was decorated with lanterns, and the light formed by the spiritual lanterns gathered together illuminated most of the sky above the Cangwu Sect.
Under the rule of the Cangwu faction, it has become the most prosperous area in Wudong.
Above the crowds of people.
Swoosh! A white arc of light shot out from afar, attracting the attention of the monks below.
Although they could only see a flash of light, it did not affect the monks' desire to watch the fun.
Many cultivators even showed a joking look, mockingly saying: "How dare you, you dare to fly so blatantly near the Cangwu Sect, I'm afraid you haven't been taught a lesson by the Cangwu Sect's mountain guarding disciples."
"Haha, another good show to watch. Just last month, a foolish Shenglun was beaten into submission. I'm afraid another one will be defeated this time."
"The Cangwu Sect is now the largest sect in Wudong. Things are different now."
…
On the back of Dapeng, Kong Ju looked down at the prosperity outside the Cangwu Sect below, with a hint of trance in his eyes.
If the Cangwu Sect's mountain gate had not remained in front of him, he would have almost thought that he had come to the wrong place.
Looking at the hustle and bustle that was no less than that of the Tianqi Imperial City, he couldn't help but sigh: "The Cangwu Sect has now become the largest sect in Wudong."
"That's all thanks to our leader's good governance!" Shangguan Yuzhou's eyes sparkled when he responded to Kong Ju. He could smell the aroma of wine from above.
I have long been tired of the wine brewed by the disciples of the Cangwu Sect. Now if I want to drink again, I finally don’t have to run far.
Only Huangfu Wuqin disagreed, muttering to himself: "Dingyue Sect never did this before."
Although her voice was low, Kong Ju heard it clearly. He tilted his head and smiled, "That can only mean that Ding Yue Zong is short-sighted."
As he spoke, Kong Ju pointed to the brightly lit bustling city below, his eyes gradually deepened as he spoke his own conclusions: "Cangwu Sect currently has an absolute deterrent power in Wudong."
"We provide a venue to give other sects' disciples or independent practitioners a fair place to trade."
"Here you don't have to worry about being robbed or robbed. You just need to collect a small amount of tax from the transactions. Over time, it will be a huge income, and it will continue to flow in."
"All we have done is to send some disciples to patrol here."
"The sect's Finance Pavilion doesn't have to travel far to do business, because the supply and demand here are enough to maintain the sect's operations."
"The Caiyuan Pavilion benefits, the tax revenue benefits, and the independent cultivators also benefit from the platform we provide. They don't need to profit by squeezing the resources of other sects like the Dingyue Sect does."
As Kong Ju spoke, he counted on his fingers, his voice getting deeper: "This is just one of the insignificant benefits at the moment."
"The Cangwu Sect uses these market gathering places in front of us as a starting point to gradually implant its prestige into the hearts of the Wudong monks."
"In the future, they will subconsciously think that they are safe and reliable under the rule of our Cangwu Sect, and will be willing to practice and trade under our rule."
"By then, the markets under the jurisdiction of the Cangwu Sect can be spread all over Wudong, and the business can be carried out throughout Wudong."
"Everywhere our Cangwu sect's market is located, there is the shadow of our Cangwu sect. The pressure of the Cangwu sect is becoming more and more unshakable."
"Living in harmony with the people is the long-term solution."
After Kong Ju finished speaking, he couldn't help but admire his master Huangfu Ying, and secretly sighed: "For hundreds and thousands of years, even if the Cangwu Sect's palm students are in short supply, the existence of the Cangwu Sect has been implanted in Cangwu, and it will not fall down in a short time."
After hearing what Kong Ju said, Huangfu Wuqin and Shangguan Yuzhou both showed looks of astonishment on their faces.
They didn't expect that there was such a deep meaning behind this small piece of prosperity.
"Master Huangfu is in charge of the overall planning!" Shangguan Yuzhou exclaimed repeatedly.
Huangfu Wuqin glanced at Kong Ju inconspicuously, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
His father, Huangfu Yingxiong, was naturally a man of extraordinary strategy and wisdom.
But Kong Ju understood what his father was thinking at a glance, and he was also capable of making plans.
"These master and disciple are really a perfect match." Thinking of this, Huangfu Wuqin's mouth curled up slightly.
Behind the three of them, Zai Fu Qiaoqiao was also amazed at the prosperity of the Cangwu Sect before him.
She had long heard that the sect her young master belonged to was the largest sect in Wudong.
But she felt that this prosperity was very different from Tianqi.
After Kong Ju's explanation, she suddenly realized the difference.
She then thought of Gujiang, that cruel place that still followed the primitive law of the jungle.
The witch god is the belief that controls everything.
A tribe may be destroyed overnight.
"This is where people should live." For the first time in his life, Zaifu Qiaoqiao began to doubt the witch god he believed in.
Dapeng was also curious about the sudden appearance of fireworks below.
But after looking at it for a few more seconds, he found it boring and continued flapping his wings towards the gate of Cangwu Sect.
Just as it was about to approach the Cangwu Sect’s mountain protection formation.
whoosh!
Two sword lights appeared at the same time, swept out from behind the formation, and blocked the way in front of everyone.
As the sword light faded, the figures of two sword cultivators were revealed.
One of them had a stubbled face and was unkempt, while the other was short and stocky.
Kong Ju glanced at the two men and smiled immediately. He bowed on Dapeng's back and said, "Senior Brother Zong, Senior Brother Zhen, long time no see."
The person who came was Zong Changsong, a registered disciple of Dongxian, and the remaining person was Zhen Jiquan, another registered disciple of Dongxian.
Both of them are Shangguan Yuzhou’s senior brothers.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
While Kong Ju was bowing to them, Shangguan Yuzhou had already jumped off the back of Dapeng and flew in front of the two of them, laughing: "Two senior brothers, my junior brother is back!"
Zong Changsong also had a smile on his face, his eyes stealthily moving back and forth between Kong Ju, Huangfu Wuqin, and Shangguan Yuzhou.
The smile on his face suddenly froze, because he could no longer see through the cultivation level of the three people.
Three years later, Zong Changsong had only reached the Taiguang realm.
When Kong Ju and the other two went to Tianqi, they all experienced earth-shaking changes.
"Alas, I deserve to be a registered disciple!" Zong Changsong laughed at himself and quickly accepted the reality. After nodding to Shangguan Yuzhou, he said to Kong Ju and Huangfu Wuqin in a friendly manner: "It's been three years since we last met. Junior Brother Kong and Junior Sister Huangfu have left me far behind."
Zong Changsong had once saved Kong Ju from Lingxi's hands. In response to Zong Changsong's self-mockery, he immediately replied seriously: "It's just some opportunities. Senior Brother Zong, don't belittle yourself."
Huangfu Wuqin smiled slyly and asked, "How are Senior Brother Zong and Senior Sister Zhai Qingning?"
Zong Changsong's old face immediately turned red. The relationship between him and Zhai Qingning had long been no secret in the inner sect.
However, in front of so many people, he was still a little shy.
It was Zhen Jiquan who was standing beside him who showed a smile that everyone understood and helped Zong Changsong out of the predicament: "Of course it's good."
"Haha, congratulations, Senior Brother Zong." Kong Ju did not forget to make a joke.
Zong Changsong saw that the situation was not right, and immediately pointed at the formation behind him and said, "Go in quickly. I haven't been back for three years, and the Cangwu Sect has changed a lot!"
As he spoke, he took the lead and walked into the formation, not giving Kong Ju and Huangfu Wuqin any chance to tease him.
"Brother Zong, don't run. I still have something to ask you!" Shangguan Yuzhou laughed and caught up with him.
"Let's go!" Kong Ju patted the Dapeng under him lightly, and took Huangfu Wuqin and Zaifu Qiaoqiao into the formation.
This scene was witnessed by the cultivators outside the Cangwu sect and those in the market town.
After Zong Changsong and the other man showed up, they were still thinking that there would be something exciting to watch.
Who would have thought that after just a few pleasantries, they would actually let them in.
Many cultivators just reacted and speculated with strange expressions: "The people on the ferocious bird are also disciples of the Cangwu Sect? Why haven't we seen them before?"
"The Cangwu sect's mountain protection formation couldn't stop them. They are obviously disciples of the Cangwu sect." Many people around him echoed.
However, the captivating demonic aura on Dapeng left a deep impression on those cultivators. To be able to ride on this demonic beast, the cultivators above must have very good cultivation.
The strange thing was that most of them had never seen those faces.
After all, most of the cultivators in the market town are at the Yanglun realm, and there are very few who have reached the Ascension realm.
There were very few monks who had ever met Kong Ju in person or seen his portrait.
Of course, there were also monks who recognized the identities of Kong Ju and others.
After they entered the formation, they all showed strange expressions and explained to the confused monks: "Dragon Head Huangfu Wuqin, Floating Rain Sword Shangguan Yuzhou, Rising Dragon Halberd Kong Jue!"
"They are back from Tianqi!"
Among the cultivators in the outer market of Cangwu Sect, few have seen Kong Ju and the other two, but their names are well-known to them.
After all, those three are the most amazing disciples of the Cangwu sect this generation.
Even though they left Wudong for Tianqi more than three years ago, the stories they told while in Wudong are still being passed down by word of mouth.
The previously quiet market town suddenly erupted in noise.
“Princess Huangfu Wuqin! She is the Dragon Head who ranks first on the Hidden Dragon Ranking! The former No. 1 on the Hidden Dragon Ranking and the number one prodigy of Dingyue Sect died at her hands!”
"Shangguan Yuzhou is the only true disciple of Tianhe Dongxian! Legend has it that in the battle of Dingyue Sect, he killed more than five Shenglun when he first entered Shenglun."
"The Ascending Dragon Halberd Kong Jue, Lu Wenji was buried in the snow outside the Xihuang Small Blessed Land. He was the one who started the Qinghu Blessed Land Rebellion, and he was the one who opened the curtain of the Wudong Rebellion."
…
Countless rumors about the three people were brought up again.
People seemed to have remembered the darkest years in Wudong again.
The three of them are the geniuses who emerged from the chaos. (End of this chapter)
