The sun is rising.

Senior Sister Su Xin of Danxia Peak and Deacon Disciple Lin Qingchou led a team of people to Zhenlian City and brought an exciting news.

The human monks from Dong Xiu, Xi Huang and Nan Mo killed many high-level demon beasts, and the beast tide has shown signs of retreating.

This time in the battle between humans and monsters, humans will still win.

The people of Zhenlian City were delighted when they heard the news. In the evening, the city lord Xu Jiangxing held a banquet to welcome the disciples of Zhenyang Sect who came to help.

In the city lord's mansion.

In the spacious and bright banquet hall, there were colorful lights, clinking glasses, and the atmosphere was full of singing and dancing.

Elders Zheng Shengmo and Jianyue sat in the main seat with Xu Jiangxing. On both sides were family heads including Zhou Shineng, and the two leading disciples Wei Wan and Chun Ningzhi. Below them were several deacon disciples including Lin Qingchou.

Then came the inner disciples and outer disciples.

However, Qin Gengyun, Qiu Zhihe, Mo Xiaolan, and Liusu were already in the Golden Core Realm, and they made great contributions in the process of killing the Beast King, so they sat among the inner disciples.

There were also dancers' performances during the banquet, and everyone cheered. Xu Jiangxing and Zhou Shineng also toasted frequently, and the atmosphere was very warm.

Once the threat of the beast tide was gone, everyone completely relaxed, and the grief of their fellow disciples' tragic deaths yesterday seemed to have faded a lot.

At this time, Chun Ningzhi was holding up a wine glass and walking in front of Jianyue, his eyes full of admiration:

"Junior Sister Ye, I toast you a glass!"

Seeing Yue Yingying stand up, she picked up the wine glass and clinked it with his, a smile appeared on her cold face:

"Thank you, Brother Chun. You've worked hard."

“It’s not hard, it’s not hard!”

Chun Ningzhi was so excited when he saw his beloved Junior Sister Ye actually smiled at him that his hands holding the cup were shaking a little and he drank it all in one gulp.

Lin Qingchou, who was sitting below, saw this scene and her eyes dimmed slightly. Then she remembered that she now had a top-grade spiritual root and was not without the capital to compete with Ye Xiyue, and her mood finally improved.

Lin Qingchou was looking at Chun Ningzhi, but she didn't know that Senior Brother Chun's master was also looking at her at this moment.

After the outer sect competition was over, Zheng Shengmo had already agreed with Lin Qingchou to come to Wangyou Peak the next night.

He said that he was helping to bring Lin Qingchou together with his eldest disciple Chun Ningzhi, but in fact, Zheng Shengmo's real goal was Lin Qingchou's top-grade spiritual roots.

Zheng Shengmo has been stuck at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for many years, and his cultivation has reached a bottleneck.

Only by practicing dual cultivation with a woman of superb spiritual roots and absorbing her spiritual energy can one have a chance of breaking through.

Originally, Zheng Shengmo's target was Ye Xiyue or Si Minglan, but Ye Xiyue had already been bewitched and the spiritual energy in her body was no longer pure.

Si Minglan was nowhere to be found, and Zheng Shengmo thought he had no hope of making a breakthrough, but he did not expect that Lin Qingchou also had a top-grade spiritual root.

Zheng Shengmo investigated that day and found that Lin Qingchou must have had some fortuitous encounter, which turned her original high-quality spiritual roots into top-quality spiritual roots.

Although this acquired top-grade spiritual root is not as good as the innate one, it is sufficient for dual cultivation and breakthrough.

There is always a way out!

Moreover, Lin Qingchou has a good appearance and figure, so this is quite a pleasure.

Anyway, Ning Zhi has no feelings for Lin Qingchou, so he shouldn't mind giving her to his master, right?

The more Zheng Shengmo thought about it, the more relieved he felt. Chun Ning happened to toast him. Zheng Shengmo laughed, picked up the wine glass, and said to his good disciple:

"Ning Zhi, it's rare that you are so filial. Your teacher is very pleased!"

Chun Ningzhi just received a smile from Junior Sister Ye, and was praised by the Master. He said excitedly:

"Thank you, Master. I will definitely work hard for Wangyou Peak and the sect in the future!"

"Hahaha, good good good!"

Jianyue's eyes flickered as he suddenly said, "Master Zheng killed two seventh-grade monsters. His cultivation was unparalleled. Can you tell us in detail what happened?"

Zheng Shengmo laughed: "It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. It's not easy for you fellow disciples to resist the beast tide. Why don't you tell us about your battles with the monsters?"

Xu Jiangxing's eyes flashed, and he also raised his wine glass and said to Zheng Shengmo:

"Elder Zheng, you have killed two seventh-grade monsters. The people of Zhenlian City are grateful for your kindness. I believe this battle will be extremely dangerous. We are all very curious and want to listen to your style!"

The heads of the noble families in Zhenlian City also echoed and praised him one after another.

Zheng Shengmo drank another cup, his face slightly reddened, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard everyone's flattery:

"In that case, let me tell you. When I arrived within a few miles of Qilian Mountain that day, I sensed two unusual auras."

"After searching for a while, we finally found the two evil beasts hiding!"

"A Moon Devouring Python and a Red Flame Fox!"

At that moment, everyone exclaimed: "It's the Moon Devouring Python and the Red Flame Fox?!"

"It is said that the Moon Devouring Python can swallow mountains and seas, and the Red Flame Fox can spit out fire from its mouth and burn everything!"

"Elder Zheng is fighting two enemies alone. His cultivation is truly unrivaled!"

Zheng Shengmo became more and more proud, and he began to tell the story of his battle with the two monsters, which caused everyone to exclaim and cheer.

"Master, Miss, I can't stand it anymore. This old man is too shameless!"

Liusu pretended to listen attentively and whispered to Qin Gengyun and Qiu Zhihe.

Qin Gengyun frowned, Qiu Zhihe glared at Liusu and told her not to meddle in other people's business.

An hour later, it was already dark and the banquet ended.

Everyone left the table. Lin Qingchou was about to go back to her room when Zheng Shengmo's voice suddenly rang in her ears:

"Niece Lin, follow me."

She suddenly turned around and saw Uncle Zheng looking at her with a kind smile. Lin Qingchou's heart suddenly started pounding.

After the outer sect competition was over, Uncle Zheng had originally agreed to help bring her together with Senior Brother Chun, but the beast tide suddenly arrived and the matter was never followed up again.

Lin Qingchou was worried, thinking that Uncle Zheng had forgotten about it.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Zheng suddenly called her alone.

Is he planning to fulfill his promise and bring me together with Senior Brother Chun?

"yes."

Lin Qingchou was delighted, and she agreed respectfully, then followed Zheng Shengmo out of the City Lord's Mansion.

It was already late at night and the streets in the city were sparsely populated. The two men moved so swiftly that no one noticed them as they exited the city gate.

Lin Qingchou followed Zheng Shengmo all the way over Qilian Mountain and ran for half an hour. They were already dozens of miles away from Zhenlian City. She felt a little strange.

"Uncle Zheng, where are we going?"

Zheng Shengmo turned around and said with a smile: "I have just told Ning Zhi about you. Ning Zhi was very surprised to hear that you have a top-grade spiritual root. However, he had always been in love with Ye Xiyue, but suddenly he fell in love with someone else. He was afraid of being laughed at by others, so he chose a place where no one was around to meet you."

Lin Qingchou felt shy and delighted: "Senior Brother Chun is really willing to be with me..."

Zheng Shengmo nodded: "Don't worry, Ning Zhi listens to me the most. If I ask him to marry you, how dare he disobey?"

Lin Qingchou was overjoyed: "Thank you, Uncle Zheng. I will definitely repay you!"

"Haha, don't worry, you will be able to repay me soon."
