Chapter 308: Visitors from the Upper Realm
Xie Jingxing.
The leader of Danshan Sect.
Most of the powerful gods in Taiyuan Domain have heard of this name, but in terms of fame, there is still a big gap between Xie Jingxing and Ouyang Tingjing.
Ouyang Tingjing had already been a Return to Void Realm expert many years ago, and was famous throughout the Central Region, while Xie Jingxing had only been the leader of Danshan Sect for a little over a thousand years.
From the perspective of sects, Danshan Sect is just one of the sixteen super sects in Danyu, and is not particularly prominent. Taiyuan Peak is one of the three major sects in Taiyuanyu, and Ouyang Tingjing is one of the three giants in Taiyuanyu.
But no matter what, Xie Jingxing's appearance caused shock to these Divine Transformation cultivators.
What on earth could cause the two sect masters to show up in person? If they were in the same domain, there would be some conflicts of interest, and the sect masters would negotiate in the end. But one was in the Dan domain and the other was in the Taiyuan domain, so there would be no conflicts of interest at all.
Could it really be because of a disciple of Danshan Sect?
What kind of disciple would not only have the elders of Danshan Sect come, but also the Sect Master himself come? Ouyang Tingjing looked at Xie Jingxing. He was sure that this person, like himself, had already entered the Return to Void Realm.
It seems that Danshan Sect attaches great importance to Chu Ning.
Ouyang Tingjing sighed in his heart. With Xie Jingxing here in person, Chu Ning could no longer be detained, and the news about the alien demon could no longer be blocked.
"Fellow Daoist Xie and fellow Daoist Danshan Sect members, please follow me."
Ouyang Tingjing did not give the other Spiritual Transformation Realm experts more opportunities to watch the show. He made an invitation gesture and led Xie Jingxing and the other two into Taiyuan Peak.
The courtyard at the back of Taiyuan Peak.
"To be honest, your sect's disciple Chu Ning is indeed at my Taiyuan Peak. The reason why I detained Chu Ning is because I have no choice. Chu Ning is involved in an extremely important matter."
Ouyang Tingjing went straight to the point and directly admitted that Chu Ning was at Taiyuan Peak.
Xie Jingxing narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Ouyang, you are joking. Chu Ning is only at the Nascent Soul stage. What important things can he be involved in?"
Not to mention returning to the void, even in the spirit transformation realm, the so-called big things of the Nascent Soul cultivators are insignificant trifles to them.
"Chu Ning is in a courtyard of my Taiyuan Peak. The two elders of your sect can go and pick him up."
As soon as Ouyang Tingjing said this, Qin Libang knew that he had something important to discuss with the sect leader, and it was not convenient for him and Elder Qi to know.
Although he was very curious, Qin Libang left tactfully. As for Qi Shiyun, she was not very interested in these things because she could know the truth as long as she met her own disciple.
As soon as Qi Shiyun and Qin Libang left the courtyard, Ouyang Tingjing looked at Xie Jingxing and sighed, "Chu Ning is involved in the matter of the alien demon."
"impossible!"
Xie Jingxing's pupils shrank, and he didn't believe it at first, but when he saw Ouyang Tingjing's serious expression, he knew that this might be true.
Ouyang Tingjing had no need to lie about the alien demons.
"A few days ago, Chu Ning and several disciples of our sect went to a place and found the figure of a strange demon there..."
Ouyang Tingjing informed Xie Jingxing of what he had investigated. After listening to it, Xie Jingxing also fell silent.
As a fellow sect leader, he understood Taiyuan Peak's purpose in detaining Chu Ning.
Taiyuan Peak does not want the matter of the alien demon to be leaked. At least before finding out the situation of the alien demon, Taiyuan Peak wants to take the initiative in its own hands.
If he were the master of Taiyuan Peak, he would make the same choice.
Xie Jingxing could even infer that in the face of such a major event as the alien demon, Taiyuan Peak might have secretly reached an agreement with the other two sects.
It was because I came here in person this time that Ouyang Tingjing knew that the degree of importance that Danshan Sect attached to Chu Ning was far beyond their imagination, so he had no choice but to tell me the truth.
"I will immediately report this matter to the upper domain."
Ouyang Tingjing looked at Xie Jingxing. Since he chose to tell the truth to Xie Jingxing, he was already prepared to inform the upper domain of the matter.
…
…
In a remote courtyard, Chu Ning was looking at the clouds in the sky boredly. The next moment, his spiritual sense sensed two figures in front of the courtyard gate, and his eyes lit up.
The master is here.
The master and Elder Qin came, and even came to the courtyard where he was detained. This meant that Taiyuan Peak was not going to continue detaining him.
detain.
This is something Chu Ning has figured out in the past two days.
The elder of Taiyuan Peak arranged me in this yard and didn't let me go out, just to detain me. As for the reason for detaining me, it goes without saying that it is related to the demon.
"master!"
The courtyard gate opened, and Chu Ning shouted emotionally. Qi Shiyun's body trembled. This was the first time she saw her disciple being so flattering.
She almost wanted to turn around and leave.
Without any nostalgia, it was as if such a disciple had never existed.
It's so embarrassing.
The corner of Chu Ning's mouth twitched. It seemed that his master didn't like cheesy people.
"Chu Ning, for you, Elder Qi fought a fierce battle with the elders of Taiyuan Peak, and now even the sect master has come in person."
Qin Libang smiled and spoke, and Chu Ning was stunned for a moment: "Master, the sect, I am grateful to you, and I will always..."
"Okay, stop playing tricks and let's go."
Qi Shiyun interrupted Chu Ning, turned around and left. Seeing this, Chu Ning hurriedly followed.
"Why did Taiyuanfeng detain you?"
Qin Libang asked, Chu Ning was silent for a moment, and did not answer directly, but asked back: "Elder Qin, you said that the sect master is here, then where is the sect master?"
"The Sect Master is discussing something with Sect Master Ouyang of Taiyuan Peak. Forget it. I won't ask any more questions."
Chu Ning chuckled and didn't respond. His words were just a reminder to Elder Qin that the reason why Taiyuan Peak detained him was extraordinary. Elder Qin also understood that Sect Master Ouyang deliberately sent him and Elder Qi away because the truth behind this was not suitable for them to know.
If it is appropriate, the sect leader will inform them at that time. If it is really a matter of great importance, it is best for them not to know.
Not long after the three of them walked out of the courtyard, they stopped because Xie Jingxing appeared in front of them.
"metropolitan."
Chu Ning bowed respectfully. Xie Jingxing looked at Chu Ning deeply and said, "No matter what happens, don't panic. The entire Danshan Sect is standing behind you."
After hearing what Xie Jingxing said, Chu Ning's expression did not change, but Qi Shiyun and Qin Libang's expressions changed at the same time.
The Sect Master said this because Chu Ning's issue had not been resolved, which meant that the Sect Master and Sect Master Ouyang of Taiyuan Peak had not reached an agreement.
Qin Libang was really shocked at this moment. What on earth was this little guy Chu Ning involved in? Even the sect leader himself couldn't solve it.
From what the sect leader said, this matter might involve more than just Taiyuan Peak.
If it was just Taiyuan Peak, there would be no need for the Sect Master to say this to Chu Ning.
Could it be that Chu Ning was involved with a higher-level existence? Qin Libang's pupils shrank, and he thought of a possibility. He looked up at the sky. At the same time, above Taiyuan Peak, in the depths of the clouds, the sea of clouds rolled, and a figure vaguely walked out of it.
Someone is coming from the upper domain.
"Elder Qi and Elder Qin, the two of you wait here first. Chu Ning, come with me."
Xie Jingxing did not raise his head to look at the sky, but with his realm, he had already noticed when someone in the upper domain broke through the domain barrier.
"Master, I am with you."
Qi Shiyun refused. Xie Jingxing saw Qi Shiyun's determined eyes and nodded after a while: "Okay."
Chu Ning is Elder Qi's disciple, and Elder Qi is one of the candidates for the sect's next leader. Elder Qi may know about the affairs of the alien demons.
Qin Libang did not ask to go along because he knew the secrets involved and he was not qualified to know them.
Ouyang Tingjing did not leave the courtyard on the back mountain of Taiyuan Peak. At this moment, looking at the two figures appearing in the sky, a complex look flashed in his eyes.
In terms of overall strength, the upper five regions are actually only 10% stronger than the middle region.
The difference between the upper five domains and the middle domains lies in the domain. Among the nine middle domains, except for the Ten Thousand Demons Domain, which is relatively special, the other eight domains have many sects and there is no absolute overlord.
Take Taiyuan Domain as an example. Taiyuan Domain has their three top sects, and there are four slightly lower-level sects under them. No sect can rule over an entire domain.
However, each of the five domains has a hegemonic sect that truly rules the domain.
One temple, two saints, two dynasties.
These are the five overlords of the five domains.
If all the sects in Taiyuan Domain were to unite together, they would only be slightly inferior to these five overlords.
However, it is impossible for the various sects in Taiyuan Domain to unite together, and the five sects in the five upper domains will not sit idly by and watch a unified sect emerge in any of the middle domains.
In the Jinglan Domain, one of the nine central domains, there once was a super sect that almost ruled over most of the Jinglan Domain. At that time, the Jinglan Domain was the second largest domain among the nine central domains.
However, several powerful Return to Void Realm masters of that super sect suddenly disappeared mysteriously. Then, several small sects in Jinglan Domain that were originally unknown rose up quickly and divided up this super sect.
Most of the Jindan cultivators didn't know the inside story, but Ouyang Tingjing, as the sect master of Taiyuan Peak, saw some speculations left by the sect's predecessors and suspected that the disappearance of the powerful people from the super sect in Jinglan Domain was related to the Upper Five Domains.
The upper five domains did not want the emergence of such a super overlord, so the original five domains became six domains.
This is also the reason why after he knew the news about the alien demon, he wanted to block the news first, because he did not want to give the Upper Five Realms a chance to interfere in the affairs of the Taiyuan Realm.
The fights between the top forces in the nine central regions were civil wars, but when facing the upper five regions, everyone's attitude was the same, full of vigilance.
However, the appearance of Xie Jingxing from Danshan Sect left Ouyang Tingjing with no choice.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Even if Xie Jingxing dared to guarantee that the matter would not be leaked, he did not dare to take the risk since it involved different domains.
Liuyun Pavilion and Qianjian Mountain are both in Taiyuan Domain, and everyone has the same interests. He is not afraid that the two will leak the news, but he is not absolutely sure when facing Danshan Sect.
He couldn't take the gamble and give the Upper Five Realms a chance to target Taiyuan Peak.
A few breaths later, two figures appeared in the sky and came towards the courtyard. At the same time, Xie Jingxing also led Qi Shiyun and Chu Ning, the master and disciple, towards the courtyard.
"Master, the strange person Chu Ning met has an unusual origin?"
On the way, with the consent of the sect master, Chu Ning narrated his experience. Of course, Chu Ning would not say the word "demon".
"That's a demon."
Xie Jingxing glanced at Chu Ning and said, "Existence of the alien demons is unknown to all cultivators in the Central Region, except for a few high-ranking members of the major sects."
"The alien demon is neither a monster nor a human?"
Qi Shiyun grasped the key point, and the name explains a lot.
"The alien demon is an extremely special existence. The spiritual power of us cultivators cannot harm it. This means that even if it is the lowest level alien demon, cultivators below the Divine Transformation level cannot do anything to it unless they have special means."
"This is not the scariest thing about the demons. The scariest thing about the demons is that they can possess people and control their behavior. The possessed people themselves cannot even detect it and just think that these behaviors are what they want to do."
"To deal with the alien demon, one must either be a Divine Transformation cultivator or have special energy. Chu Ning was able to scare the alien demon away because he has the power of earth and fire."
It was not a special thing for an alchemist to have earth fire, so Xie Jingxing did not doubt Chu Ning and just thought it was a coincidence.
"To improve their strength, the demons suck the flesh and blood of humans or even monsters. The stronger the person being sucked, the more the demons will improve."
Xie Jingxing's face was filled with reminiscence, and he said, "When the alien demons first appeared, many strong men didn't take it seriously, because the alien demons didn't dare to provoke the gods. If there were alien demons causing trouble, they would just take action to deal with it."
"But it was precisely because we didn't take it seriously that we gave the alien demons time to develop. Later, when we wanted to eradicate the alien demons, we paid an extremely painful price. From then on, if we find any traces of alien demons, we must report it to the upper domain immediately..."
"However, for so many years, there has been no news of alien demons in various regions. Everyone thought that the alien demons had been completely exterminated that time. I didn't expect that Chu Ning would encounter one this time."
Chu Ning smiled bitterly. He didn't want to encounter the demon either.
"Master, why does Taiyuan Peak want to detain Chu Ning?" Qi Shiyun asked with a frown.
"Taiyuan Peak does not want the news about the alien demon to leak out, which would give the Five Territories a chance to intervene in Taiyuan Territory. They want to catch the alien demon first. If the alien demon is just a fish that slipped through the net that year, they will just kill it."
These words were not said by Ouyang Tingjing himself, but were inferred by Xie Jingxing himself. However, Xie Jingxing could be sure that his inference was correct.
"What is the origin of that alien demon?"
"No one knows the origin of the alien demons yet. A powerful person once speculated that the alien demons came from another world and happened to enter the Nine Realms for some reason."
Chu Ning listened to the words of his clan leader and fell into deep thought.
According to the display of the Secret Mirror, this alien demon has only lived for three thousand years, but the senior from the Mountain Sect in Lingyao Mountain must have been dealing with the alien demon for more than three thousand years.
In other words, the demon tamer he met was not the one who escaped the net that year.
If the demons really came from another world, like himself, then it is very likely that another group of demons have come here from another world.
"Are there other worlds outside the Nine Realms?"
Qi Shiyun whispered, and Xie Jingxing smiled slightly: "Who knows? For an ordinary person, his understanding of this life is the country he lives in, that is everything."
"For cultivators in the lower realms, one lower realm is everything to them, while for cultivators in the middle realms, the five upper realms and nine middle realms are everything. The nine realms above are beyond their imagination."
Realm determines vision and cognition.
"How will the people from the upper domain deal with this matter?" Qi Shiyun did not continue with this vague topic, but asked the question that Chu Ning was concerned about.
Chu Ning was also looking at the sect master eagerly at this moment. He was also curious about how the upper domain would deal with this matter.
"The people coming from the upper domain will definitely personally question Chu Ning and other people who have come into contact with the alien demons. This is why I said that to you, Chu Ning, just now."
No matter what happens, there is no need to panic, because Danshan Sect is standing behind you.
Chu Ning thought back to the sect master's words and felt warm at heart.
The meaning of the sect leader's words was very clear. If people from the upper domain asked questions, he would tell the truth. If he encountered difficulties, he would have the Danshan Sect to support him.
The three of them talked as they walked, and now they could see the yard where Ouyang Tingjing was, so they ended the topic.
Along the way, Xie Jingxing blocked his spiritual sense. Unless someone was a true Dongxu expert, it would be impossible for them to hear their conversation.
There are very few powerful Dongxu masters even in the upper realm.
The matter of the strange demon will certainly alarm the upper realm, but it will not be enough to cause a Dongxu strongman to come in person immediately.
“There are quite a few people coming.”
Xie Jingxing narrowed his eyes slightly, his consciousness had already sensed that there were several people in the yard with auras that were not weaker than his.
"Fellow Daoist Xie is here. Let me introduce you two. This is Sect Master Xie of Danshan Sect."
Xie Jingxing led Chu Ning and Qi Shiyun into the yard, and four pairs of eyes turned to them.
In addition to the master of Qianjian Mountain and the master of Liuyun Pavilion, there are two old men.
These two people are from the upper domain.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist. I don't need to introduce these two old acquaintances to you." Ouyang Ting skipped the master of Qianjian Mountain and the master of Liuyun Pavilion and directly introduced the identities of the other two old men.
"This is Fellow Daoist Tong from the Purple Gold Dynasty, and this is Fellow Daoist Chi from the Nine Heavens Holy Land."
The Purple Gold Dynasty is one of the two dynasties in the upper five domains, and the Jiuxiao Holy Land is one of the two saints.
Xie Jingxing greeted the two old men with a smile, while Qi Shiyun and Chu Ning stood silently behind Xie Jingxing.
The strength of the master and disciple was not good enough in the eyes of these five Return to Void Realm powerhouses, so they had no right to speak.
Soon, Chu Ning also saw Zhao Qin, Zhang Dejiang and the other four. Except for Ye Pengxiang who had already died, the five parties involved appeared in the yard at this moment.
"The matter of the strange demon is of great importance. Although Sect Master Ouyang has already informed you, Fellow Daoist Chi and I still need to inquire for details according to the rules."
Tong Zhizuo spoke slowly, and his meaning was very clear: the two of them wanted to question Chu Ning and the other four individually.
Ouyang Tingjing smiled faintly. Tong Zhizuo's action to some extent showed his distrust of Taiyuan Peak, but he did not get angry. He just said to Zhao Qin and the other three, "You four should answer truthfully and don't hide anything."
"Chu Ning, the same to you." Xie Jingxing also spoke.
Tong Zhizuo and Chi Liangqing's expressions changed slightly, with dissatisfaction in their eyes, but they soon returned to normal.
The two of them didn't believe that Ouyang Tingjing and Xie Jingxing couldn't understand the meaning of their words, but it was obvious that the two families did not intend to give them the opportunity to inquire privately.
Tong Zhizuo did not get angry. He had anticipated this situation before the two of them came, and his previous words were just a test.
He looked at Chu Ning, those eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, Chu Ning only felt that he had no secrets at all in the eyes of the other party.
"Your name is Chu Ning, right? How did you discover the strangeness of Ye Pengxiang?"
PS: I'm back today, with 5,000 words to present to you. Tomorrow I'll update 10,000 words to make up for the past few days. It's almost the end of the month, so if you have a guaranteed monthly ticket, don't hold back. I'm begging for a monthly ticket.
