Chapter 83: The Immortal's Appearance [Additional chapters for leader noringname! ]
The next morning, it started snowing again.
Xiao Bai, who was soaking in the hot spring, could clearly feel the snow curtain becoming increasingly blurred. It was so cold that he was reluctant to get out of the bath, holding the little cutie Mu Yun in his arms.
He even wanted to shoot at her right in front of Yijianhu, to let her know what it meant to be a single dog and be worse than a dog.
However, this was the plot of the book, so he still restrained himself and held back.
He gritted his teeth, got out of the bath, and put on his clothes. Before he had the time to look for the head master, he was invited by Zhang Yufeng to the Discipline Hall to discuss important matters.
This time, Zhang Yufeng only called him and did not call Yijianhu.
After seeing the new version of Xiao Bai, Zhang Yufeng was so shocked that he couldn't retreat for a long time. On the way, he made a serious joke:
"I haven't seen you for a few days, but it feels like three years have passed. Not only has Master-Uncle built his foundation, but his temperament is also very different from before. Could it be that he has been possessed by the evil spirit again?"
From the remaining shock on Zhang Yufeng's serious face, Xiao Bai determined that he just wanted to ease the tense atmosphere.
But this word is very magical...
It was as if he had awakened a strange ability that allowed him to be possessed by another person.
Xiao Bai decided to scare him to avenge the intimidation and coercion he suffered when they first met, even though this man was not a bad person by nature.
His face suddenly darkened, and he said in a gloomy tone: "On the way to Chaoge City that day, when you and I were attacked by Du Ya, do you know why I was so calm? And why did Du Ya suddenly spare your life and leave without a fight?"
"I guess the evil spirit must have suddenly realized that Master Uncle is definitely not an ordinary person, or that he is the reincarnation of an immortal god, and he ran away in fear."
Zhang Yufeng said this, and he thought so in his heart.
Otherwise, with his three views, he really couldn't explain Xiao Bai's rapid advancement, his powerful aura, his calmness in the face of difficulties, why the demon suddenly escaped that day, and why he was able to kill the demon alone and won the second-class merit of the Taoist Alliance.
Any one of these things would be enough to refresh his view of cultivation, but it turned out that they were all done by the same person! Xiao Bai smiled, and a layer of faint black mist suddenly floated on his face, like a blooming flower of darkness.
"Because I was possessed by the devil at that time."
The sword was shaken with fear. Zhang Yufeng gripped the hilt tightly, his body stiffened on the sword, not daring to move.
Xiao Bai considerately took out a bamboo handkerchief and handed it over.
"Wipe the sweat off."
Zhang Yufeng tried to remain calm, but his sea of consciousness went blank after the storm, and his expression was so ugly that it was beyond description.
"No, no need... I can still do it."
…
The cliff is as straight as a ruler, and the Discipline Peak, which seems to be split by a sword, is right in front of us.
Zhang Yufeng sent Xiao Bai to the door of the Discipline Hall. Instead of going in to participate in the meeting as usual, he returned to the cave without saying a word.
He swallowed a calming pill and closed his eyes to meditate.
The sweat keeps flowing...
Xiao Bai entered the Discipline Hall alone.
When you see the five iconic large pillars in front of you, it feels like you have walked into the government office of the Taoist Alliance.
Waiting for him was a tall middle-aged man named Chun Xiaozi, holding a three-foot jade flute, wearing a red flame cloak and a snow wolf white fur collar around his shoulders.
And there is the old Taoist priest, Zhong Fuzi, who has a thin and strange figure, facial features like a Yin Fu carving, and a restrained and fierce look on his face.
There was also a cup of tea on the table for Xiao Bai.
Generally speaking, the head of a sect rarely holds meetings with the elders in charge of discipline.
Chun Xiaozi, however, prefers to discuss matters directly in the Discipline Hall.
The purpose is to establish good relations with the elder of disciplines, so as to prevent this old man from leaning towards the Taoist Alliance - after all, the elders of disciplines in most sects in Tianyuan Continent are running dogs of the Taoist Alliance.
However, Xueyan Sect's discipline elder Zhong Fuzi is not a running dog of the Taoist Alliance, but a staunch loyalist of the sect - he is actually worried that Chun Xiaozi from the Taoist Alliance headquarters is a running dog of the Taoist Alliance.
Therefore, the two of them often get close to each other and supervise each other.
This interesting story was told to Xiao Bai by the cute little Mu Yun in the pool in the morning.
After making sure that the two were not bad people, Xiao Bai became much more open-minded and bowed.
"Meet the head brother, Senior Brother Zhong Fuzi."
When they saw Xiao Bai, they were shocked and almost stunned by Xiao Bai's powerful and penetrating aura.
Those who don’t know would think that he has formed a fetus, or realized the great way of heaven and earth, and that it is definitely not as simple as just laying a foundation.
The two of them thought to themselves, it is unheard of that someone endowed with all five elements can build a foundation, but it is just building a foundation. It cannot improve a person's temperament that much, right?
Fortunately, the two of them were either the head of the sect or the elders, and they were both big guys in the Nascent Soul Realm. They could only hide their shock in their hearts, and were not as embarrassed as Zhang Yufeng.
Chun Xiaozi served tea to Xiao Bai, holding a jade flute, and spoke first: "Junior brother Xiao's meritorious service in catching demons has spread beyond the Cambrian country. It's a cause for celebration. Now he has broken through the physical limitations of the five elements and successfully established his foundation. He has brought honor to our sect and deserves a reward."
Without waiting for Xiao Bai to offer a reward, he changed the subject.
"But the current situation is somewhat urgent."
Zhong Fuzi stood with his hands behind his back and immediately took over the conversation.
"I'm sure you already know that the Youji tribe of the Demon Alliance plans to launch a massive attack on our sect in ten days."
So, the reward that deserved to be given was just brushed aside by you all?
Xiao Bai was speechless, but right now, the sect was indeed in trouble, and they needed financial support to defend against the enemy, so he was too embarrassed to offer a reward on his own initiative.
At least there is a cup of tea, right? "Disciple already knows."
Chun Xiaozi asked tentatively: "What do you think?"
The headmaster actually asked me what I think? Xiao Bai was not used to his suddenly rising status in the sect, and said without thinking: "Right now, everyone in the Dao League and our sect knows that the Demon League is going to attack our sect. I think it is possible that the Demon League will change its attack plan and launch a surprise attack. I hope that the headmaster can thoroughly investigate the spies in the sect, deploy defenses in advance, and be on guard at all times."
Zhong Fuzi was slightly startled, but he sighed calmly, "When I heard that you had successfully captured a demon by yourself, I couldn't believe it at first."
"Now it seems that not only are you gifted, but your mind is also far beyond the reach of ordinary people."
"It is a great honor for our sect that Junior Sister Yuhu was able to dig you out from the menial room."
Xiao Bai felt that the word "dig" was too ugly, like digging potatoes.
He had to say modestly, "Brother Zhong, you are too kind."
Regarding Xiao Bai's proposal, Chun Xiaozi had already prepared for war.
"Since the day before yesterday, the defenses of all the mountains in our sect have been arranged."
"Yesterday, I notified the three ancestors who were in seclusion that they could come out at any time to fight against the invasion of the Demon Alliance."
"This morning, the defense level of the mountain protection formation was also raised to the strongest red level."
"It is said that the imperial court will also send a group of imperial guards to help. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, at least it shows their support for our sect."
Up to this point, it was all good news. Suddenly, Chun Xiaozi changed the subject.
“But there’s a problem.”
Xiao Bai asked knowingly.
"What's the problem?"
On the side, Zhong Fuzi sighed:
"The newly appointed Cambrian State Supervisor Lu Youwei will come to our sect in three days to inherit the Wanling Sword."
"What do you think, Junior Brother Xiao?"
Chun Xiaozi asked Xiao Bai for his opinion again, mainly to test Xiao Bai's attitude towards the Taoist Alliance.
Xiao Bai had never had a good impression of the Taoist Alliance, so he would naturally stand on the side of the sect now.
"During the few days I've been working at the Dao Palace, I've gotten to know a little bit about the Dao Alliance's practices."
"The Dao League seems to be maintaining order in the world, but it is actually hoping that the world will not be in chaos and will profit from it."
"Right now, the Demon Alliance is about to attack our sect. As the sect supervisor, you want to take away our magic weapons. I'm afraid there are deeper considerations behind this."
"In my humble opinion, no matter what he does, we should find a way to stop him!"
Zhong Fuzi paced back and forth, nodding and stroking his beard.
"The best way to stop Lu Youwei from accepting the sword is to set the difficulty level to the highest."
Chun Xiaozi immediately followed up,
"The highest sword-bearing difficulty is only for the highest difficulty of Yuanying cultivation. The new supervisor Lu must have come prepared, and he has the cultivation of the late Yuanying period. It is possible that he will really take Junior Brother Lin Xizi's sword. If this is true, how can I face Junior Brother Lin again?"
Xiao Bai did not shirk responsibility and said straight to the point:
"It's okay. I will go up the mountain with the new master to receive the sword, and I will definitely not let him succeed."
Chun Xiaozi and Zhong Fuzi smiled at each other, nodded with satisfaction, and the approval in their eyes became even brighter.
Chun Xiaozi nodded: "I am very pleased that Junior Brother has this heart."
Zhong Fuzi followed, "However, this mission is too difficult and is not something that Junior Brother Xiao can accomplish with his current strength. We have decided to have Junior Brother Lan Daozi climb the mountain to receive the sword and stop Lu Youwei."
When Xiao Bai heard this, he immediately quit.
"But I really need that sword, especially since Senior Sister Lin Xizi appointed me to bear the sword. I guess she must have seen the peculiarities of my physique, and I think it is safer than Junior Brother Lan Daozi."
"this……"
Chun Xiaozi and Zhong Fuzi looked embarrassed. They didn't expect Xiao Bai to be so obsessed with the Wanling Sword.
Xiao Bai did not give them a chance to refuse, and immediately said:
"If you are worried about the safety of my disciples, you can let Junior Brother Lan Daozi bear the sword with me. He will be responsible for stopping the master of the sect, and I will be responsible for holding the sword. Isn't it perfect?"
"this……"
This is the truth, but Chun Xiaozi has already promised Wei Shanjun, and it is difficult to go back on his word.
"I still need to discuss this matter with Junior Brother Wei."
Xiao Bai thought, it seems that Elder Zhijian also wanted to leave the Wanling Sword at Zhijian Peak.
This proves that the Wanling Sword is indeed a treasure! Thinking of this, Xiao Bai simply said: "Whether the two brothers believe it or not, I have a hunch - whether I can get the Wanling Sword may be the key to the victory or defeat of this war."
Xiao Bai was actually talking nonsense, but the aura of enlightenment on his face intimidated Chun Xiaozi and the other two.
"Are you serious, Junior Brother?"
Xiao Bai nodded slightly, his eyes firm.
"really."
The two thought that Junior Brother Lin Xizi's decision to appoint Xiao Bai as the swordsman might have some deep meaning, so they agreed to Xiao Bai's request:
"That's fine. The two of us will convince Junior Brother Wei."
…
The Monster Mountain Range is three thousand miles northwest of the Xueyan Sect.
The third rudder of the Demon Alliance, a giant underground cave.
In a tall and spacious stone house.
A short, fat, and imposing middle-aged man sat on a tall stone chair.
The man has round yellow eyes, a small pointed mouth, and two long eyebrows slanted into his hair, making him look like an owl.
It was the third leader of the Youji Division of the Demon Alliance——
Black owl.
In front of him, there were two large eyeballs that looked like those of an owl floating.
The red deer is reflected in a big eyeball.
The stone badger is reflected in a large eyeball.
They are respectively the projections of the fifth and seventh helmsman of the Rooster Tribe.
The three, five, and seven rudders are the main forces of the Demon Alliance that are about to attack the Xueyan Sect.
"Three rudders can reach Xueyan Sect from the northwest in five days!"
"The five rudders can reach Xueyan Sect from the northeast in seven days!"
"Seven rudders can reach Xueyan Sect from the southwest in nine days!"
"Ten days later, the three, five, and seven rudders can gather a hundred miles away from the Xueyan Sect and attack the mountain from three sides. With the control of the center of the formation, the Xueyan Sect's spirit division formation will not last long!"
"We purposely left a gap in the southeast so that the Xueyan Sect members have a chance to escape to Chaoge, thus relaxing their determination to fight to the death."
"According to the information from our spies, the Xueyan Sect is increasing its defenses. It seems that the Dao Alliance and the Xueyan Sect are very likely to have known our plan."
"It's okay. Lord Suzaku just arrived in Chaoge City a few days ago, and there is also the threat of the demons. It is impossible for the Cambrian State Supervisor's Palace to send troops to help."
"Perhaps the imperial court will send some soldiers symbolically, but the Xueyan Sect only has so many people. Even if we count the few old immortals in seclusion, the number of Yuanying-level warriors can be counted on one hand, so there is no need to worry."
"Brother Xuan, I heard that you specifically tested the power of the One Sword Fox. What was the result?"
The battle was imminent, and Xuan Xiao was cautious in his response, not wanting to underestimate the enemy.
"The Yuanying realm is basically invincible. This is my highest praise for Yijianhu."
Stone Badger said in astonishment, "I didn't expect that the news that this woman killed Yuanying cultivators indiscriminately in the Zongguo War was actually true..."
Chi Lu shook his head and said, "One woman is not a concern. My only worry is that if Chun Xiaozi and the ancestors fight to the death and the battle becomes stalemate, the patrol ships of the Dao Alliance will surely come to reap the battlefield."
"Brother Chilu, you worry too much. In my impression, the ancestors of Xueyan Sect are very afraid of death."
"Lord Youji is ready and can withdraw from the battlefield at any time. We will sink as many patrol ships of the Dao Alliance as possible!"
"The Snow Flame Mountain has been the inherent territory of our Youji tribe since ancient times. We must win this battle so that the Demon Alliance can gain a firm foothold in the southwest of the Magic Beast Mountain Range."
"Using Xueyan Mountain as the new foundation of the Youji tribe, we can train the younger generation and forge spiritual weapons, so that we can continuously support the battlefield of the Far North to kill evil."
"Right now, judging from the situation on the battlefield of Zhuxie, the troops we can mobilize are limited. We must fight this battle quickly and decisively, and we must not linger on!"
After the brief meeting, Xuan Xiao retracted his two fist-sized pupils.
Immediately, he took out a larger eyeball and suspended it in the air.
Inside, a shadow of a seven-tailed chicken slowly emerged, like a rainbow piercing the sun.
Xuan Xiao stood up and bowed respectfully.
"Lord Rooster."
The seven-tailed chicken shadow in the owl's pupil said: "Is the Nine Helms' insider ready?"
"I'm ready."
"From the fact that the plan was leaked ahead of time, there must be spies from the Dao Alliance inside our Demon Alliance. Therefore, I authorize you to coordinate with the Third Rudder and the Ninth Rudder to activate backup tactics at any time."
Xuan Xiao was overjoyed, but his expression remained unchanged.
"Yes, Lord Rooster."
"There is one more thing you must do in person."
"Please give me your orders, sir!"
"This is a special mission given to me by Lord Suzaku - bring back to the Monster Alliance a young disciple or elder named Liu Dehua from the Xueyan Sect. This person rescued thirty-three half-demon girls who were imprisoned and abused in Chaoge City."
Xuan Xiao carefully examined the name Andy Lau, and always felt that it did not match the temperament of a sect disciple.
"Are you sure this is someone from the Xueyan Sect?"
The seven-tailed chicken shadow in the owl's pupil said, "Lord Suzaku said that the man was wearing a green robe of the Xueyan Sect style, and his cultivation level seemed to be Qi Refining, but you could tell at a glance that he had a myriad of auras."
Speaking of Wanqian Qiaxiang, Xuan Xiao suddenly remembered that when he attacked Yijianhu the day before, there was a Foundation Establishment cultivator beside her, who was quite imposing.
What he was wearing seemed to be the uniform of the elders of the Xueyan Sect!
I almost killed him.
"If he's not dead, bring him back."
Xuan Xiao subconsciously asked tentatively: "What if this boy is killed by mistake?"
"That means you got the wrong person."
The Seven-tailed Chicken Shadow in the Owl Eyes said with great certainty:
"Master Suzaku said that the disciple has... an aura of immortality."
