The venue for this exchange meeting was near the crater. It was originally a large gentle slope with only volcanic rocks and volcanic ash. Now it has been flattened with great effort and turned into a huge platform, which is more than enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people. At least the mystics who came from all over the world are not enough to fill it up.
Because there is no road on the mountain, no matter how good the car is, it can only be driven to the foot of the mountain and parked. After getting off the car, the celestial masters began to use their magical powers to climb the mountain.
Taoist Master Xuwu sighed upon seeing this, "The so-called communication started at the foot of the mountain."
"What should we do?" Tong Feinian asked, "Separate or stay together?"
"Come on." Mingren took out a piece of white paper, folded it into the shape of a paper airplane, and threw it to the side. The paper airplane instantly grew bigger, and he jumped lightly and sat on it. "Come on, all of you, but you have to jump. If the paper airplane stops, you have to throw it again."
Wen Qi jumped up first, "Your origami skills are getting better and better."
Mingren laughed, "We've known each other for such a long time, I can't always stay in the same place."
People jumped on one after another, filling the entire plane.
The paper plane floated slowly up the mountain with the wind, casting a huge shadow on the ground.
The people who were rushing on the road at the foot of the mountain looked up with expressions of shock or amazement. They stopped and asked the people around them what it was. Of course, there were also people who couldn't stand others being better than themselves, and their faces were as black as coal.
No matter what others think, the group arrived at the mountaintop platform very leisurely and quickly on paper airplanes.
The paper planes falling from the sky attracted everyone's attention. It was not that there were no paper planes flying here among them, but the fact that so many people flew here on paper planes together was something they had never even heard of, let alone seen.
Everyone jumped down, and the paper airplane slowly shrank to the size of a palm. Mingren picked it up and stuffed it into his backpack, completely ignoring the looks around him. He smiled and said, "Quite a few people have arrived. Oh, there's also a ring. Could this exchange be about fighting on stage?"
Wen Qi raised his eyebrows, "How can we communicate without fighting? Practical operation is the kingly way."
At this time, some people recognized Taoist Master Xuwu and came over to say hello. The former knew a lot of people and could chat with anyone, so Han Zhen also joined in the greetings.
Soon the others were pushed away by the people who gathered around them.
Ning Guochao sighed, "Okay, it seems that the captain is not here as a representative of the association. The association can only rely on us."
Tong Feinian cheered up, "We can do it too!"
Fan Xiaoling said: "It seems that there are many people coming from our firm. I think most of the forces come in pairs, and some come alone."
Wen Qi chuckled and said, "It's great to have so many people here. The main reason is that the Zombie King is very capable and invited international friends along with him. Even if the domestic Heavenly Masters are disdainful in their hearts, they have to get involved just for the sake of this title."
"Eh?" Wen Qi blinked and asked in surprise: "Are those Xie Bian and Fan Wujiu?"
Feng Ce glanced over there and saw the Black and White Impermanence smiling and nodding at him, so he nodded and said, "It's them. The underworld will naturally pay attention to such a big thing."
"It's amazing. Even the ghost messengers from the underworld are here." Mingren sighed. "If the Zombie King doesn't cause trouble, this exchange meeting is actually quite good. It's not impossible to continue it in the future."
Fan Xiaoling curled her lips, "You know it's good before it even starts?"
Mingren clicked his tongue, "At least this scale is pretty good."
It was not until the evening that the corpse-driving group, the organizers, finally arrived. During this time, everyone had a seemingly friendly but actually tentative exchange.
Chen Guanli was in the lead, followed by a group of Taoists wearing yellow robes with the Yin-Yang and Eight Diagrams painted on them.
Everyone made way for the group to move to the center.
Chen Guanli looked around and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you all for coming. Before the formal communication begins, I, on behalf of the corpse-driving faction, invite you to watch a thunder tribulation. Please be prepared for defense."
Wen Qi was shocked, "Is it crazy?"
Before everyone could react, Chen Guanli released his aura completely. The sky suddenly darkened, and the thick thunderclouds appeared out of nowhere in the blink of an eye.
The Heavenly Master on the outermost edge was the first to react and wanted to run, but just as he turned around to take off, a bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the clouds and accurately struck the Heavenly Master who was moving the fastest.
Immediately afterwards, all the Heavenly Masters who were close to the edge of the thundercloud were attacked. The scene was a bit funny for a moment. The Heavenly Masters, who were usually steady, were struck by lightning and screamed, with smoke coming out of their mouths and noses.
"This zombie wants everyone to help it disperse the power of the thunder tribulation?" Tong Finian's face was extremely ugly. "Is this what you mean by it has the absolute certainty of surviving the thunder tribulation?"
"Hmm..." Wen Qi used his thumb and index finger to pinch out a little bit, "There's a small mistake, but it's not a big problem. There are so many people here, don't be afraid."
Tong Feinian no longer believed what Wen Qi said. She looked around, confirmed the location of Taoist Master Xuwu, and hurried over. Now only Taoist Master Xuwu could make her feel at ease.
Mingren and Fan Xiaoling quietly approached Wen Qi and Feng Ce. Ning Guochao didn't understand why, but he instinctively moved closer to his wife, mentally prepared to protect her from any danger.
As for those foreign mystics who had come from afar, they were already furious. But although their faces were grim, they did not dare to make any objection, for fear that they would become cannon fodder in the first wave of thunder sacrifices.
"Let's get started." Chen Guanli said softly, "Thank you for your help."
After a loud "boom", the entire mountain top was engulfed by bright white light.
The thundercloud seemed to release all its accumulated power in an instant, attempting to destroy all the people under the cloud to ashes.
Wen Qi and Feng Ce simultaneously held up a protective shield to cover Fan Xiaoling and the others.
The whisk in Taoist Master Xuwu's hand stretched out in the blink of an eye, surrounding Han Zhen and Tong Feinian, blocking them tightly.
A pitch-black chain appeared in Bai Wuchang's hand, and the chain coiled around the two of them like a giant snake, protecting them tightly.
Everyone showed off their skills, but most of them fell in the lightning. However, Chen Guanli, who had caused this thunder disaster, was safe and sound under the protection of the corpse driver, and was not touched by the lightning at all.
"Look at how relaxed it is now." Wen Qi narrowed his eyes and said, "It makes my fists stiff."
Feng Ce said, "If you want to beat him, then beat him."
Wen Qi uttered a chuckle, took out the Fengdu stick and threw it out.
The Fengdu Stick swirled in the air and rushed towards Chen Guanli. Wherever it passed, even the lightning seemed to be shattered, leaving a straight passage.
Chen Guanli narrowed his dry eyes and hissed, "Stop it."
The corpse drivers surrounding it changed their formation and raised their hands to attack the Fengdu Stick at the same time.
The Fengdu Stick suddenly stopped in the air and could not move forward an inch.
Wen Qi snorted coldly, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and his soul power flowed out of his body, surging towards the Fengdu Stick like an endless wave.
The Fengdu stick trembled violently, and the Fengdu Mountains on both sides of the stick suddenly appeared and pressed down on the corpse drivers.
In an instant, the faces of the corpse drivers turned red and their gums bled, but they still couldn't stop retreating.
He is just a mortal who knows a little bit of mystical arts. How could he possibly bear the weight of Mount Fengdu?
Fengdu Mountain only expanded by less than one fifth, and the group of people vomited and flew out, falling to the ground and making no sound.
Chen Guanli's already dark eyes became even darker. He did not make any other moves and just stood there to resist. The lightning that fell on him did not cause any ripples in him at all.
Seeing this, Feng Ce raised his eyebrows and said, "It's a little stronger than I thought."
Wen Qi didn't say anything, and increased his soul power output again. The shadow of Fengdu Mountain was retracted, and the Fengdu Stick continued to hit Chen Guanli! This time there was no obstacle, and the Fengdu Stick actually landed on Chen Guanli's head!
After a "clang" sound, Chen Guanli disappeared directly on the ground - he was smashed into the ground, leaving only a half-meter wide hole on the ground.
The Fengdu stick flew back, Wen Qi caught it, threw it away and said, "What a hard bone."
Feng Ce said thoughtfully: "If we use Chen Guanli's bones and the bones we got from Baigu Village together to refine it, we may get an unexpected treasure."
Wen Qi paused and gave a thumbs up, "When it comes to creative ideas, you are definitely the undisputed number one!"
