"Then we'll go to the auction house first thing tomorrow morning and wait there."
"Um."
Song Chen, accompanied by Zhao Ziyi, chatted and laughed all the way back to their post.
**
The residence of Xianhe Garden has a vermilion gate.
Upon entering, you will see an empty inner courtyard.
Further ahead, there is a stone screen, and in front of the screen are several weapon racks.
If you walk to the right and cross the stone screen, you will see a lake.
As you get closer, you can hear the sound of flowing water.
Song Chen and his companion had just crossed the stone screen.
Then I saw a group of monks standing in the winding corridor on the lake.
The atmosphere inside the base was somewhat tense.
The monk's expression was solemn.
Dozens of cultivators leaned against the railing, seemingly waiting for something, restless and uneasy.
Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi exchanged a glance, both looking puzzled.
What is this?
Suddenly, a monk noticed the two of them.
"Song Chen! You're back!"
"Song Chen! You're finally back!"
Shouts grew louder and louder as more than a dozen cultivators rushed towards him.
Song Chen retreated repeatedly, pulling Zhao Ziyi behind him to protect him.
He frowned and threw out dozens of immobilization talismans.
"Certainly!"
The next second, all the cultivators froze in place.
Song Chen was completely bewildered and asked in confusion:
What are you all doing gathered here?
Song Chen randomly unlocked a cultivator's talisman.
"You tell me."
The monk swallowed hard and began to recount the story in detail.
"Today, several of us cultivators from the Alchemy Academy went together to the herb garden near Zhuoyangchuan."
However, they encountered cultivators from the Kunxian Tower along the way.
They stopped our alchemy practitioners and asked which faction we belonged to.
We said it was from Xianhe Garden.
As a result, the people from Kunxianlou said they were going to declare war on us.
They intend to target Xianhe Garden in the grand competition.
Song Chen frowned and asked:
Did they give their reasons?
The monk nodded:
“They said so! They heard that you blew up the pleasure boats of Langya Academy and Wanjian Manor.”
Therefore, Kunxianlou wants to unite with these two forces to declare war on us.
Because you challenged their authority.
majesty?
Song Chen frowned even more deeply, and asked in confusion:
What kind of power is the Kunxian Tower?
The monk explained:
"Kunxianlou is the number one power in Tianyan Continent. Their sect only accepts cultivators with dual spiritual roots, heavenly spiritual roots, and mutated spiritual roots."
Song Chen stroked his chin, saying uncertainly:
"Could they be among the top three powers on the Tianyan Continent? Kunxian Tower first, Wanjian Manor second, and Langya Academy third?"
The monk nodded, his fists clenched, his expression filled with grief and indignation.
"Yes, the top three forces should unite to deal with our Immortal River Garden."
Song Chen sneered. So what if they joined forces? He could still beat them.
He flicked his sleeve and said confidently:
"Let them challenge us, let's see who wins!"
Zhao Ziyi stood to the side, listened to the whole story, and then discovered the key point of the matter. He asked:
"Then why are you all gathered here?"
The monk looked troubled.
"There are a few cultivators in the academy who want Song Chen to apologize... They want to settle things peacefully."
"snort!"
A cold snort suddenly rang out, and a group of people walked out of the attic.
The leading man, dressed in the Danfeng Dharma Robe, crossed his arms and shouted loudly:
"What can't be said? This whole thing was caused by Song Chen! What's wrong with making him apologize?"
It was the dispute between Song Chen and Li Wantian that led to the top three alliances targeting us!
The people at Kunxianlou said that as long as Song Chen kneels down and apologizes, the matter will be settled.
kneel?
Zhao Ziyi's eyes darkened. He pulled out a flying sword from his storage bag and looked at the man with a fierce gaze.
As soon as the Spirit Treasure Flying Sword appeared, the flying swords of the other cultivators around it also began to hum. It seemed to sense the anger of the Spirit Treasure Flying Sword.
Huang Li walked over from Zhao Ziyi's side at this moment.
Behind her followed Elder Sun Meng, who was in charge of array formations.
Huang Li patted Zhao Ziyi's arm and gave him a wink.
"Ziyi, put the flying sword away first."
This is Zhuoyangchuan; you must not hurt anyone here.
To ease the tension, Huang Li took the initiative to introduce herself.
"This alchemist is named Qi Tai. He is a Golden Core cultivator and the senior disciple of Danfeng."
It was they who encountered the people from Kunxianlou in the medicinal herb garden near Zhuoyangchuan.
Huang Li is Zhao Ziyi's friend, but he is also the leader of the Golden Core cultivators.
Faced with this complicated situation, she first went to see the team leader, Sun Meng.
Only by getting together can we better discuss countermeasures.
at this time.
At the Xianheyuan residence.
All the monks gathered together.
Everyone had a serious expression.
The monks were clearly divided into two groups.
One group consisted of cultivators standing on the winding corridor, who supported Song Chen.
One group consisted of people who had just come out of the attic; they supported Qi Tai.
Monks generally have excellent memories.
Upon hearing the title "Senior Brother of the Pill Academy," Song Chen immediately thought of Zou Sheng, whom he had encountered when he first entered the Immortal River Garden.
Zou Sheng, in order to save his senior brother from the Dan Academy, falsely accused him of stealing the Fire Refining Grass.
But this senior brother isn't all that great either!
What happened to the promise of mutual help among fellow disciples?
Song Chen sneered:
"Three years ago, Zou Sheng was searching for the Fire-Refining Grass for you, wasn't he? The bond between fellow disciples saved your life!"
Qi Tai's expression changed; he hadn't expected Song Chen to bring this up.
"So what if it is!"
Song Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at Qi Tai.
"Back on the ship, it was the other cultivators who started the disturbance first, which is why we retaliated. Ziyi and I were targeted, so what was wrong with bombing their cruise ship?"
Why should I kneel down and apologize?
Qi Tai retorted, his neck stiff with arrogance.
"So what if you get scolded a few times? Will it hurt you? Why do you have to fight back? Those are Langya Academy and Wanjian Manor. It's an honor for you to be scolded!"
Qi Tai's unreasonable words caused the cultivators on the winding corridor to change their expressions.
"Trash Qi Tai! You're a real dog!"
"How dare you say such a thing! Are you an undercover agent for some faction?"
"You've lost all your backbone! From now on, you'll crawl on your knees like a dog!"
Qi Tai's face turned ashen upon hearing the accusations from the crowd. He roared:
"What did I do wrong! It was Song Chen who caused this trouble!"
Song Chen sneered:
"According to you, cultivators in the academy are bullied and have no choice but to endure it? As long as other forces make demands, you'll push your fellow disciples out to risk their lives?"
Qi Tai said arrogantly;
"Why not? Cultivation begins with cultivating the mind. If your mind is not calm, you will cause trouble."
Why did Li Wantian scold you two but not others? You should look for the reasons within yourself!
Qi Tai's words made Song Chen laugh in anger.
Qi Tai is truly a talented individual.
There are a lot of fallacies and heresies.
He's actually a coward, a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong, and he chickens out when things get tough.
Song Chen was too lazy to argue with him; in the cultivation world, strength still speaks volumes.
If he can defeat Langya Academy and Wanjian Manor once, he dares to do it a second time!
Just then.
A monk who was standing in the winding corridor stepped forward.
"I have something to tell you. Today I saw Qi Tai on the north side of the market."
I saw them acting suspiciously, so I followed them.
Qi Tai and his group didn't go to the outskirts medicinal herb garden at all; they were the ones who proactively visited Kunxian Tower!
Song Chen sneered upon hearing this. He looked at Qi Tai and said mockingly:
"You're doing this to me, not for that spiritual field you mortgaged to me, are you?"
Qi Tai's face flushed red as he roared:
"How could I! Would I do something like that for 75 gold!"
Zhao Ziyi laughed heartily and clapped his hands in approval, "Hahaha, seventy-five gold pieces, you remember it so clearly."
Song Chen ignored Qi Tai's reaction.
He looked at the cultivators in the winding corridor and asked loudly:
"Who is willing to join me in resisting the Imprisoned Immortal Tower?"
Forty cultivators standing in the winding corridor raised their hands.
Their eyes were resolute; they believed that if someone bullied you, you should fight back, and that Song Chen had not done anything wrong.
Moreover, they are willing to protect Song Chen and face difficulties together!
