Chapter 495: The Four Great Masters of Zongsheng Xuehai
Before Qilin Zang returned, Zhumen was able to single-handedly seize three states from the hands of the King of the West Sea and the Quanrong and Querong tribes supported by the western demon clans. This shows the power of this sect that has dominated the western border for thousands of years.
He has suffered heavy losses many times and is at the forefront of the demon clan's attack on Lingxiao's habitat, but he is like a veteran who has survived hundreds of battles and still has strong fighting power.
Li Weiyi and Zuoqiu Hongting traveled together to the ancient red jade ship where the Zhumen martial artist was.
The former wore a purple official robe of a provincial governor, while the latter wore a green Taoist robe. They clearly represented the secular world and the otherworldly world respectively, but they had a kind of harmony that was like that of a couple of gods.
After boarding the ship, the three patriarchs of the Jiuli tribe and the three elders of the ninth level of the Dao Seed Realm from the Zuoqiu Sect immediately gathered together with the elders of the Zhu Sect, Xuejian Tangting, Leixiao Sect, and the imperial court.
Although Li Weiyi and Zuoqiu Hongting have higher cultivation and combat capabilities than them, the older generation is still responsible for overall coordination, battle formation arrangement, offense and defense, and other matters.
The ships, made of red jade-like materials, were anchored seven miles away from Fengshi Reef.
Below, the waves were half a foot high.
On the boat, the two of them walked along the passage beside the ship. Li Weiyi observed the dark red island reefs in the distance, as well as the changes in the depth of the surrounding sea and the fluctuations of the heavenly and earthly energy in the air.
He has developed a habit of observing the environment first whenever he arrives at a place, and trying his best to make the natural conditions and terrain the best for him.
Zuoqiu Hongting introduced to him the strength and origins of the martial arts representatives from each state one by one.
Suddenly, Li Weiyi asked, "Why don't I see Zuoqiu Zangwu, the head of Zuoqiu Clan?"
Zuoqiu Hongting asked, "Didn't Uncle Li tell you?"
"Tell me what?" Li Weiyi shook his head slightly.
Zuoqiu Hongting recounted, "After the turmoil in Lingxiao's habitat ended, Qi Xiao reported to me and Uncle Ling that Zuoqiu Cangwu was planning to murder you. When Uncle Ling learned of this, he was furious and felt ashamed to face you and Uncle Li. He felt extremely guilty."
"When he went to question Zuoqiu Zangwu, he naturally denied it. Instead, he cried and complained about his daughter's tragic death, claiming that it was all a conspiracy by the Dao Cult and a ploy to sow discord."
Li Weiyi thought that Zuoqiu Ling must be helpless in the face of this situation, which was understandable. "Zuoqiu Zangwu's reasons are very sufficient and make a lot of sense. Besides, there is no evidence after his death, so there is really no way to investigate. Qi Xiao has no evidence, it is entirely possible that he was deceived by the powerful Dao Sect!"
Zuoqiu Hongting said, "Normally, that's true. But Qi Xiao wants to gamble his life with him and ask the ancestor to search the souls of both of them."
Li Weiyi was deeply moved and sighed, "Old Qi is like a dead pig that's not afraid of boiling water. He's already been soul-searched, so there's no hope of transcendence. But Zuoqiu Zangwu is so talented and so high-ranking. Today, they can search his soul without any evidence. In the future, hostile forces will use the same method to frame all the potential geniuses of the Zuoqiu Sect. What will the Zuoqiu Sect do then?"
"Zuoqiu Zangwu said the same thing at the time." Zuoqiu Hongting said.
Li Weiyi saw the smile in her eyes and immediately understood that she and Zuoqiu Ling must have found a way to break the deadlock. "I still like you as Zuoqiu Ting. You have a straightforward and uninhibited personality. You were a good brother that I slept with. Unlike now, you are so shy that I almost don't recognize you."
Zuoqiu Hongting didn't keep it a secret any longer: "That day, after you, Zuoqiu Qingying, Zuo Sheng, and Zuo Shi left Qiuzhou City, Zuoqiu Zangwu sent another group of people to follow you. If we investigate, we'll naturally find out."
"Don't worry, Uncle Ling is a man who hates evil. He has already crippled Zuoqiu Zangwu's cultivation and handed it over to Uncle Li. He won't let him off just because he's so talented."
This matter concerns the cooperative friendship between Jiuli Yinmen and Zuoqiu Menting.
If Zuoqiu Menting doesn't give a satisfactory explanation, Yinjun will not be able to pass the test.
Li Weiyi seemed to be lost in thought. "Old Li probably didn't want to leave the difficult task of killing someone to me, so he made the decision himself."
No matter what the reason, as the son-in-law of Zuoqiu Menting, he killed the head of Zuoqiu Menting, which was bound to cause criticism from the Zuoqiu people who did not know right from wrong.
When the hidden king takes action, he will do evil.
Zhu Yibai, wearing Thousand Characters Rouge Armor, hurried over and complained, "Brother Weiyi, everyone is looking for you, yet you're here flirting with Zuoqiu Hongting. Do you two even know what it means to prioritize the greater good? You've been together for so many days, aren't you tired of it? Let's put aside the romantic feelings for now and follow me."
Li Weiyi and Zuoqiu Hongting smiled at each other and followed him to the meeting hall without any explanation.
Three hundred soldiers armed with swords and axes stood in a neat row outside the hall. They wore black armor, carried swords and axes on their backs, had sharp eyes and a strong aura, giving people the feeling of an unshakable wall of steel.
Seeing that Li Weiyi was attracted by the "Sword and Axe Battalion", Zhu Yibai smiled proudly and said, "These elite Dao Seed Realm warriors were drawn from the army. Each of them has experienced hundreds of battles. Their battle formation is strong enough to split mountains and dig peaks."
"If Sheng Wulian dares to break into my Zhumen Hongyu Ancient Ship like he did at the General Selection Banquet, I will make sure he never returns."
The wealthy family must make this preparation. The evildoer died tragically at the banquet and lost face. He will definitely look for an opportunity to take revenge.
A teasing voice carried on the wind: "You wealthy people are so arrogant! You even brought your army to the East China Sea. How can a small Fengshi Reef accommodate your entire family?"
“Swish! Swish…”
The representatives of Du'e Temple, like flowing shadows, fell one by one onto the ancient red jade ship.
Du'e Temple and Lingxiao Habitat have now formed a human alliance, so naturally there will be top experts coming to discuss matters.
Led by Fu Wenyan and four talented students from the Zongsheng School, several other figures in Taoist robes also arrived.
Each of them exuded magical energy, possessing pure immortal bodies, and their eyes revealed a condescending arrogance. In many habitats, the disciples of the Du'e Temple called themselves immortal masters, and they were sought after and flattered by too many forces, nurturing a sense of superiority.
People can hide badness and evil, but it is difficult to hide contempt and self-righteousness.
The former knows it's wrong, so they can hide it. The latter truly believes they are strong and superior, so they reveal it naturally.
The owner of the joking voice just now was Ye Cang, one of the four most powerful masters in Zongsheng Xuehai.
The top chief of the ninth level of Daozhong Realm.
He had four feet broad shoulders and long arms. Although he wore a Confucian robe, he did not have the elegance of a Confucian or Taoist martial artist. His body was full of strength, and he carried a knife wrapped in black cloth on his back.
Accompanying Ye Cang was Ye Baiyue, an ordinary chief of the Ninth Heaven.
Her face was covered by a veil, her figure was graceful, and wisps of white mist swirled around her. She said coldly, "The flag representing Fengshijiao was only captured by Zhu Qishitsu Tian with the help of Changhu Jade Sword Immortal."
"It was Du'e Temple that proposed this, so Lingxiao Habitat is qualified to send representatives to participate in the competition."
"Therefore, the number of martial artists who can enter the Phoenix Reef should be arranged by the young masters of Du'e Temple, not by you, Lingxiao Living Realm, on your own."
Seven masters competed for nine flags, and decided the ownership of the nine islands and reefs in advance.
Without attachment to life or desire for death, he took over the three most core and largest islands and reefs.
Bai Yeqing and Prince Mingjiao also took three.
Chang Yujian and Zhu Qishiertian each took one.
Fengshi Reef, among the nine islands and reefs, is quite peripheral and relatively small, only accommodating 300 to 500 martial artists. The number of martial artists coming from the Zhu family is more than 300 to 500, which shows how tight the quota is.
The nine islands and reefs are distributed in a sea area of 300 miles in radius.
Nine dragon-locking pillars fixed the constantly moving underground space and locked the ancient immortal dragon skeleton at the bottom of the sea between the nine islands.
Fengshi Reef is fifty miles away from the nearest of the other eight islands and reefs, and is difficult to see from the field of vision.
Zhu Yibai was very dissatisfied with the attitude of the two people from the Ye family. He said in a cold voice: "Ye Cang, Ye Baiyue, the hostility and contempt in your tone are so strong, is it because the old woman surnamed Ye died in Yuntian Xianyuan?"
"presumptuous."
Ye Cang and Ye Baiyue's eyes turned cold, and they released their battle ideas at the same time, like swords and spears, suppressing Zhu Yibai's soul and consciousness.
Mrs. Ye’s death was a heavy blow to the Ye family.
Zhu Yibai said it to their faces, which was like a slap in the face. Given their arrogant personalities, how could they not be angry?
“Wow!”
Li Weiyi moved his body and stood in front of Zhu Yibai. The magic energy in his Feng Mansion was released, dissolving the fighting intentions of the two into nothingness.
Ye Cang and Ye Baiyue narrowed their eyes, knowing who the man in front of them was. Fu Wenyan had already promised them a favor, asking for their help in taking this man's life.
They had even divided up the various treasures on Li Weiyi's body in private, but they had never found an opportunity to do it.
Li Weiyi said, "With the two of you at this level of cultivation, Brother Zhu's soul consciousness will surely be severely damaged if you attack him like this. Aren't you being a little too harsh for a guest?"
“Crash!”
Behind Zhu Yibai, three hundred martial artists from the Sword and Axe Camp all raised their battle axes.
The murderous aura condensed into a blood-red cloud.
Fu Wenyan, with a scheming mind, quickly stepped forward to dissuade them, "We are allies. What are you doing? Brother Ye, Sister Yue, quickly put away your thoughts of fighting. Yibai is my junior brother. He's just straightforward. I didn't mean to provoke you by mentioning the dead."
"Who provoked them first? They're so self-righteous. I'm afraid Senior Brother Fu played a big role behind the scenes, right?"
Zhu Yibai said in a deep voice, "Although a large number of Zhumen martial artists have come to the East China Sea, not all of them will land on the island. Today's meeting is to allocate the number of people who will land on the island in advance to avoid any unpleasantness."
Fu Wenyan smiled bitterly, looking at the four people from Zongsheng Xuehai and the martial artists from Du'e Temple behind him, looking extremely helpless. It was as if Zhu Yibai was being unreasonable and he had suffered a great injustice.
Zhu Qishiertian and representatives from various states in Lingxiao Living Realm walked out of the door together.
Among them, the court martial artists were very hostile towards Fu Wenyan and the Ye family.
They still remember the brutality of the battle of Lingxiao City.
Zhu Qishier, with white hair and beard, raised his hand to signal the Sword and Axe Battalion to put down their axes. He stood before Fu Wenyan and the other martial artists from Du'e Temple, his eyes icy cold. "You have to understand one thing: it is Du'e Temple that needs the humans from Lingxiao Realm, not us begging you."
"The flag at Fengshi Reef was knocked down by me with my fists. It wasn't given by you."
"You may attend today's meeting as observers, but are you qualified to make decisions? Fu Wenyan, I heard that you followed Du'e Temple Chaoran and arrived here ten days early. You absorbed a lot of the Six-clawed Immortal Dragon's energy. Have you broken through to the Ninth Heaven?"
Fu Wenyan still maintained his composure, but everyone could see that he was trying hard to restrain himself.
“Since you haven’t broken through to the ninth level yet, you should keep a low profile. The people of Lingxiao still remember the killings that Madam Ye committed in Yuntian Fairyland, but they are not pursuing it for the time being.” Zhu Qishiertian said.
