The Phoenix girl named Huang Jing immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I will obey your command."
After Hong Ju was taken away, Guan Ming and the other two immediately came out from behind the screen and sat down.
"Fellow Daoist Wanlan," Lian Chang spoke first. "Everyone knows Fang Hongqing's intentions. He certainly has bad intentions in hosting a banquet for fellow Daoists. We should act quickly."
Ruqiu slashed down with his sword and said, "Kill the envoy first, then we can quell the rebellion."
Guan Ming was more gentle and said, "I heard that this Hongqing Zhenjun is also dissatisfied with Dou Mu Yuanjun and the Daoist Daluo being in power..."
Upon hearing this, Wanlan Huangzu's eyes lit up and he said, "Daoyou, what you mean is... to try to win over Hongqing Zhenjun again?"
"Yes." Guan Ming said, "Why not invite him to join us in attacking Dou Mu Yuanjun and the Taoists, so that we can each get what we want."
"But this will definitely waste time. If True Lord Hongqing disagrees, won't we be in a passive position? We will lose the initiative?" Ruqiu said.
Guan Ming smiled and said, "We can first send an envoy to contact True Lord Hongqing while actively preparing for an uprising. We can also contact all the demon cultivators in Northern Juluzhou to raise awareness of the Jingtian crisis. Once True Lord Hongqing responds, we can start the uprising immediately, regardless of the outcome. Once our uprising becomes a major force, we can force True Lord Hongqing to cooperate with us."
Hearing Guan Ming's words, Lian Chang turned to Wan Lan Huang Zu and asked, "Fellow Daoist Wan Lan, have you sent people to contact the demon kings of the various factions in Northern Julu Continent?"
Upon hearing this, Wanlan Huangzu smiled confidently and said, "These demon kings are nothing to worry about. There's no need to contact them. When the time comes, as long as my Cangming Mountain Fengting starts an uprising, they will surely gather and follow."
Wanlan Huangzu was confident of this because during the Longhan catastrophe, the Phoenix clan and the Qilin clan were fighting for control of the land. The Phoenix clan was able to summon most of the demon clans on the land of the Yamafu world, and they occupied two major continents respectively and competed with the Qilin clan.
Although there was no Wanlan Phoenix Ancestor at that time, this memory was passed down in the blood of the Phoenix clan.
To put it in very simple terms: My noble Phoenix clan is out to do great things, and these lowly demon clans can only obey and depend on me.
Finally, Wanlan Huangzu and the three cultivators reached a conclusion after discussion: Fang Jian must not go to this banquet because they did not know what the consequences would be.
Wanlan Huangzu couldn't cause any trouble at this time, but if she didn't go, she would definitely offend Fang Jian, so the best way was to make it clear.
Then Wanlan Huangzu personally wrote a reply letter and ordered someone to invite Hong Ju to the palace. Then he handed the reply letter to Hong Ju and said, "Messenger, this is my reply letter to Hong Qing Zhenjun. Please make sure to deliver it to Hong Qing Zhenjun."
Upon hearing this, Hong Ju immediately accepted the order respectfully, and then turned to Wan Lan Huang Zu and asked, "May I ask Huang Zu, have you made a decision regarding the banquet?"
Wanlan Huangzu smiled and said, "It's all in this reply."
When Hong Ju heard this, he stopped asking questions and bowed and left.
...
Just as Hong Ju arrived at Fengting in Cangming Mountain, a large army had already quickly set out from Duanjie Mountain.
Heihai, whose injuries had healed, followed Huan Rui and officially set out with 10,000 heavenly soldiers of Jinquewei. This time, even Baibai followed Heihai, with the purpose of increasing the "luck value" of this army.
They were under the banner of Fang Jian, and their destination was the Northern Continent, Yaobei Prefecture. Yaobei Prefecture was exactly where Cangming Mountain was located.
At the same time, Huanzhou Gate.
Ding Xinglan was wearing a Zhou Ming Xing Xiang Taoist robe, holding a white jade whisk in his hand, and wearing a purple gold hibiscus crown on his head. He was walking side by side with Fang Jian on the jade path in the Huan Zhou Gate Square.
"The Huanzhou Gate has now been readjusted." Ding Xinglan strode with his head held high and said to Fang Jian as he walked.
Question: Where did all the high-level demons and immortals in Northern Juluzhou go in recent years? Answer: Some were taken in by the Heavenly Court, and some were taken in by the Huanzhou Sect.
In fact, the strength of the Huanzhou Sect is already very strong. Ding Xinglan himself is a genius with extraordinary talent and has now reached the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Over the years, she has worked hard to recruit many high-level demon immortals such as Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals from Northern Juluzhou. However, although these people are very powerful, they cannot hold important positions in the Huanzhou Sect.
There is no way around it. You have to know that when the Huanzhou Sect was first founded, the first people who followed her to create the Huanzhou Sect were the group of people including Fairy Qianyin.
But unfortunately, Fairy Qianyin and the others are not as talented as Ding Xinglan. Over the past few hundred years, Ding Xinglan has already obtained the Taiyi Golden Immortal Fruit, and the highest level of the original group of people including Fairy Qianyin was only Taiyi Xuanxian.
But because they were the ones who originally helped Ding Xinglan establish the Huanzhou Sect, their positions as elders have always been as stable as Mount Tai.
Ding Xinglan actually wanted to make some adjustments and let those with higher cultivation, such as the Golden Immortal, become elders.
But unfortunately, even though Fairy Qianyin and the others agreed, their disciples did not agree. In order to maintain internal stability in the sect, Ding Xinglan did not make any adjustments.
It was not until Yu Ji was captured and Fairy Qianyin and others died in battle that the disciples of Huanzhou Sect finally realized that a high status also means a great responsibility.
For example, Yu Ji, she is the disciple representing the "Mingyue Cave" in the Huanzhou Sect, and she was also the first to follow Ding Xinglan to start a business. So even though she only has the ability of a true immortal, she is still an elder of the Huanzhou Sect.
But this time Yu Ji was captured, and then Fairy Qianyin and others died in battle. This made all the disciples understand that the situation was no longer the same, and more capable people must take on greater responsibilities, otherwise the upward momentum of the Huanzhou Sect would be interrupted.
So this time, Ding Xinglan took advantage of this incident and made drastic adjustments to the upper echelons of the Huanzhou Sect with swift and decisive measures.
