After the four of them introduced themselves to each other, their relationship seemed to become closer, and Wang Tuo and the other two continued to talk about the previous topic.
"What happened to that evil woman of the Lu family? Did she escape from that damn Fang Cun Ji?"
Wang Tuo asked excitedly. Ying Changfeng chuckled and nodded, "Even with the tight nets, the Lu family's demon girl escaped with remarkable ease. She even managed to taunt him before leaving. Her unrestrained demeanor is truly captivating!"
At this point, Ying Changfeng sighed slightly, "I only regret that I am not financially well-off. I was unable to go to Fang Cun Ji to see the unparalleled beauty of the Lu family's enchantress with my own eyes. It's such a pity!"
Xiang Sheng sat on the mat with his eyes slightly lowered, not saying a word.
Why are they talking about the same old topics again? These monks have nothing else to talk about except her?
"Interesting, it's really interesting outside! Hahahaha... When the Lu family witch shows up, I'm going to give her a good fight!"
Xiang Sheng's face darkened.
Ying Changfeng also smiled awkwardly and said, "Friend Wang's ideas are truly unique."
"Really? Haha."
Wang Tuo obviously didn't understand the meaning of Ying Changfeng's words. He laughed twice and suddenly turned to look at Xiang Sheng, "Brother Zhu, you know the witch of the Lu family, right?"
Xiang Sheng raised his eyelids slightly and said calmly, "Of course I know. But Brother Wang's reaction is so strange. Could it be that you only heard about it today?"
"indeed."
Wang Tuo tutted his words and said, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I've never left the village since I was a child. My grandfather only let me out this year to gain experience. The colorful world outside is indeed much more interesting than the village."
Village?
Xiang Sheng's heart moved. This person's words and deeds were indeed very different from those of ordinary cultivators from sects. He had less hypocrisy and courtesy, and more straightforwardness and sincerity.
However, although his words and actions are vulgar, his cultivation is extraordinary. Judging from his aura, he is at least in the late stage of foundation building.
What kind of village can train its descendants to this level before letting them out to gain experience?
Wang Tuo's background seems to be very unusual.
While Xiang Sheng was secretly pondering, Ying Changfeng was greatly surprised and asked, "Is Fellow Daoist Wang really a casual cultivator?"
"Did I lie to you?"
Wang Tuo frowned. "If there's no sect, then I'm just an independent cultivator, right? I've lived in Wangjia Village since I was a child. How could there be a sect?"
“That’s great!”
Ying Changfeng's expression lit up, and he quickly said, "Don't be surprised, Brother Wang. In this world of cultivation, it's hard to tell what's real and what's fake. Your cultivation is so profound that it's inevitable that people will think too much.
Since Fellow Daoist Wang is a casual cultivator, I have a humble request. I wonder if you are willing to do it?"
Wang Tuo's expression brightened after hearing this. He waved his hand and said, "Brother Ying, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush. It's uncomfortable to listen to."
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Wang is indeed a man of quick wit and quick words."
Ying Changfeng wanted to say a few more pleasantries, but Lin Hai beside him couldn't help himself and said directly: "My senior brother wants you to take our Wanjian Sect's token to participate in the Dongzhou Competition!"
Ying Changfeng's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly said, "Fellow Daoist Wang, this matter is not appropriate to say, but it is the way for our small sect to survive. If you find this matter offensive, then we will just say nothing."
"A token?"
Wang Tuo scratched his head in confusion. "You need a token to participate in the Dongzhou Competition? How come I didn't know that?"
Ying Changfeng: “…”
“Brother Zhu, do you know?”
Wang Tuo turned around and asked again.
Xiang Sheng's expression was indifferent, and she didn't comment. She didn't want to get entangled with someone as reckless as Wang Tuo, so as not to expose herself.
Wang Tuo was a stubborn person. Without getting an answer from Xiang Sheng, he just kept staring at her.
Xiang Sheng felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at, and frowned, and could only say perfunctorily: "I know."
The two had a simple conversation, but the atmosphere was not harmonious, but rather a bit confrontational.
Ying Changfeng saw that something was not right and quickly spoke to ease the atmosphere, saying, "Fellow Daoist Wang, Fellow Daoist Zhu doesn't like to talk, so let me explain this matter.
The Dongzhou Competition is a grand event held every five hundred years in the Dongzhou cultivation world. It is a great opportunity for this generation of young talents to make a name for themselves, but for the sects, it is a test.
The Siji City was left behind by the Siji Great Emperor. It was a secret magic weapon specially used to train and assess future disciples.
When you go there, you will be able to see the ancient firefly stele in the center of the city. The names of the outstanding disciples in Siji City in ancient times recorded on it are still clearly visible.
According to ancient records, eight thousand years ago, the crust of Dongzhou shook and the Siji City was exposed to the sun again.
At that time, the demonic sects in Dongzhou were rampant and the country was in chaos.
There are limited beautiful mountains and rivers and blessed caves in various places, and the orthodox sects often fight each other over territorial disputes, resulting in frequent internal conflicts.
The five major sects suffered from internal strife. After careful research, they set up a new firefly monument in the city and distributed fluorite tokens. From then on, the Dongzhou Competition was held.
During the competition, disciples from each sect will enter the secret realm of Siji City with a specific token. Based on their performance in the secret realm, the sect's ranking will appear on the new Firefly Monument.
The blessed land of Lingshan will be allocated according to ranking order, and no sect may encroach upon it. Those who violate this will be the enemy of all sects in Dongzhou!"
At this point, Ying Changfeng sighed deeply, "Since then, the killing between the various sects has decreased significantly. The five major sects have united as never before, wiping out all the demonic sects in Dongzhou in one fell swoop. Peace has come to the world!"
Hearing this, Wang Tuo rubbed his chin and said, "That's good."
“At the time, it was indeed a good thing.”
Ying Changfeng nodded and continued, "However, as time passed, the five major sects grew increasingly distant from each other. Now, the Blazing Flame Sect and the Wind Moon Sect have become sworn enemies, constantly engaged in private battles and plotting. The nature of the East Continent Competition has long since changed."
