Chapter 396 Conflict
"Xingze, long time no see!" Seeing his cousin like this, how could Nan Yanzhe not know what was going on?
He couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly. Even if this guy joined the Heavenly Mystery Sect as a charlatan, he hadn't made any progress!
Is there any need to be so afraid? Besides the two brothers, there are only two junior sisters.
"Cousin! Long time no see." Upon hearing Nan Yanzhe's greeting, Nan Xingze became strangely calm.
After each person received a jade slip, they sat down in the main seat.
"Look! This is exactly the situation! The elder has already performed a divination, and the information inside is correct!"
Nan Yanzhe opened the jade slip in his hand, read it through skillfully with his divine sense, and concluded, "Headache!"
He put the jade slip away and asked the question that concerned him most now: "What is the complete list of the disciples who supposedly infiltrated the sect?"
"No, that manager is just a nobody, he doesn't know the specifics!" Nan Xingze shook his head, which was also their biggest concern when they put this information into the jade slip for them!
"Those who join the sect are all our brothers and sisters! I cannot wrong them without evidence!"
Quan Ling's voice was decisive. Disciples who had infiltrated the sect were worth noting, but without a specific list, arbitrarily investigating disciples could easily cause a crisis of trust within the sect.
The Dragon Abyss Sect would never do something so foolish. As for that disciple, he might be an undercover agent!
As long as they do things that harm the sect or the cultivation world, they will always be disciples of the Dragon Abyss Sect.
Nan Yanzhe snapped out of his reverie and nodded in agreement with Quan Ling's words.
Xue Yuan also gently agreed, and compared to Guiyuan Sect and Longyuan Sect, she did not think that Medicine King Valley could be infiltrated.
Medicine King Valley is a place where talent reigns supreme; only those with exceptional alchemy talent can secure a place there.
Disciples who are not alchemists will only receive basic training and be tasked with protecting the safety of Medicine King Valley. They will never have access to the core of Medicine King Valley.
If this force really did send someone to infiltrate Medicine King Valley, alchemists, that's quite a feat!
Then Medicine King Valley will accept it without hesitation.
Seeing that none of the three expressed any concern, Nan Xingze took the initiative to start the second discussion.
Regarding this Yeqiu Pavilion.
They're an old rival, everyone knows them well. You could say that anyone who has ever been a sect heir has dealt with Yeqiu Pavilion; they're just impossible to destroy.
But this was the first time that Yeqiu Pavilion had been opened under the very nose of the Tianji Sect.
The most troublesome issue for both the Five Great Sects and the Heavenly Mystery Sect right now is the shielding of Heavenly Secrets.
There's also that unknown force that colluded with Yeqiu Pavilion.
It's to the point that just thinking about it gives me a headache.
Xue Yuan looked at Nan Yanzhe with sparkling eyes: "The peak master of Guiyuan Sect's Weapon Peak has unparalleled craftsmanship. I wonder if you could ask your peak master to forge a spiritual weapon that can break through the barrier of heavenly secrets?"
Nan Yanzhe pondered for a moment: "Okay! I'll discuss it with the Peak Master later!"
"As for Yeqiu Pavilion, it seems that we, the five major sects, still need to join forces to cleanse Yeqiu Pavilion."
However, the Wuji Sect and Yunxiao Sect haven't arrived yet! We'll discuss it further when they arrive! Quan Ling looked at Nan Yanzhe beside her: "Senior Brother Nan is on good terms with Fellow Daoist Hou. I hope Senior Brother Nan can speak with Fellow Daoist Hou of the Wuji Sect when the time comes."
Nan Yanzhe nodded and readily agreed: "Okay, I'll discuss it with Fellow Daoist Hou later."
Is this the speed at which a sect's heir is produced?
This is too fast!
Nan Xingze thought to himself, and then the three of them discussed how to cooperate in Yeqiu Pavilion before leaving satisfied.
With the sect competition approaching, various sects have been arriving in Chengdu one after another.
The Heavenly Mystery Sect is very tight-lipped, and the specific competition rules have not been revealed to this day.
With a large population comes many accidents. Putting aside old and new grudges, there are also many conflicts among the junior disciples.
They were both chosen ones, and neither was willing to back down.
Cheng Jiu and the others were unable to organize group trips again, and even Li Weixin was conscripted to handle conflicts.
"Junior Sister Jiu, Junior Sister Jiu!"
The sounds outside the door continued one after another. Cheng Jiu slightly opened the door and saw Senior Sister Yingyue breathing rapidly outside.
"Senior sister, what's wrong?"
Cheng Jiu's voice was full of curiosity. A strong medicinal fragrance wafted into the room, and the alchemy furnace flickered with embers.
Recently, the prices of both healing pills and cultivation pills in Chengdu have skyrocketed, and even so, the supply still cannot meet the demand.
The disciples of Medicine King Valley were making a fortune, which made Cheng Jiu quite envious. He hadn't gone out for the past few days and had been refining pills in his room.
Of course, even if it's not sold, my fellow disciples also need it.
She refined many high-quality pills, which made her very popular among the disciples of the Guiyuan Sect.
Cheng Jiu's reputation among these Guiyuan Sect disciples rose imperceptibly.
"They're fighting!" Yingyue said, panting.
"It's the Dragon Abyss Sect and the Boundless Sect again?"
Since the arrival of the Wuji Sect, the two sects have seemed to be natural enemies, with constant minor conflicts.
They are all the chosen ones of the same sect, and all belong to sects with a thriving martial arts tradition. Most of the disciples are leaving the sect for the first time.
Faced with a powerful opponent, it's easy for a fight to break out at the slightest disagreement.
Sometimes I'm too lazy to even find an excuse; I just want to have a friendly competition.
Quan Ling was very troubled; she had conscripted Li Weixin, this well-behaved boy who didn't fit in at all.
That's right, this time the Dragon Abyss Sect was led by Quan Ling. As for their senior brother, unfortunately, he was eliminated in the Nascent Soul stage competition.
Even the senior disciples of a sect cannot have special privileges in this regard.
This competition even successfully determined the next successor of the Longyuan Sect, with Quan Ling becoming the next sect leader.
The strong are respected, and the weak are relegated to a lower position; this is the most naked and fundamental logic in the cultivation world.
As for Xue Yuan from Medicine King Valley, she is the Valley Master's original chosen successor, whose strength has already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, and she will also participate in the competition.
Once he breaks through and enters the Dao Integration Realm ahead of schedule, he is still young, and he has a much longer future than becoming the Valley Master.
Therefore, he voluntarily gave up his position as the sect's top disciple, wanting to pursue a higher realm.
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley doesn't accept many disciples; he only accepts those he feels a connection with.
His previous disciples either had no talent for alchemy or were so exceptionally talented that they preferred pursuing higher realms rather than becoming the next valley master.
They finally found a perfect successor, and this successor has already had such a great opportunity before even ascending to the throne.
As a master, he certainly cannot hinder his apprentice's future.
His other disciples also didn't seem capable of taking on important responsibilities.
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley is very magnanimous. He gave up, and the next sect leader may not necessarily come from his lineage.
It's unknown how many years this training will take. The opportunity to abdicate is rare, and he can't stay in the position of Valley Master forever without having trained a suitable successor!
This is very bad for the development of Medicine King Valley!
Therefore, his gaze fell on the other outstanding disciples of Medicine King Valley. It's not as convenient to train them now as to recruit them later.
Xue Yuan was one of the outstanding disciples who caught the sect leader's eye.
Therefore, even though there were many senior brothers and sisters among the Medicine King Valley disciples who came this time who were stronger and more talented than Xue Yuan, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley still appointed Xue Yuan as the leader of the team.
This is both trust and a test.
Of course, Xue Yuan herself was unaware of all this. Her master was the sect's law enforcement elder, and her master had made it clear that she wanted Xue Yuan to inherit her mantle.
Her current position is merely a means to cultivate her abilities!
As for why she didn't suspect anything, she would usually take on some of the tasks when her senior brother was busy.
She felt the same way this time, since her senior brother rarely went out after arriving in Chengdu.
"No, it's us and the Dragon Abyss Sect!" Senior Sister Yingyue shook her head.
"Us and the Dragon Abyss Sect?"
"Yes, Senior Brother Qin Che is gathering manpower. This time, our Guiyuan Sect absolutely cannot lose."
"Senior sister, what exactly happened? Where is Senior Brother Li?"
"That guy on the other side is causing trouble, but I'm afraid he won't dare to come after Junior Brother Li."
Cheng Jiu followed Yingyue's steps while listening to her explain the cause and effect.
The story begins with the Tai Xuan Sect, a rather warm and compassionate sect that also participated in the sect competition this time.
Senior Sister Jin Su wanted to see the girl she had treated. Although the girl's cultivation level was not high enough this time, the sect's elders still brought her here to broaden her horizons.
Then they ran into a disciple of the Longyuan Sect who was bullying them. Senior Sister Yuze of the Taixuan Sect was not one to back down, and she immediately confronted the disciple of the Longyuan Sect.
The conflict between the two sides was quite unpleasant, but overall, the Tai Xuan Sect suffered a loss. Facing the numerous and powerful disciples of the Long Yuan Sect, they dared not confront the Long Yuan Sect head-on.
Just then, Senior Sister Jin Su arrived and conveniently relieved the Tai Xuan Sect from their predicament. She also helped Senior Sister Yu Ze secure the seventh-grade Swift Boat that both sides were vying for.
It was originally Senior Sister Yuze who took a liking to it first, but when this disciple of the Dragon Abyss Sect came, he wanted to buy it at a high price. Senior Sister Yuze was unwilling to do so and immediately refused.
This Longyuan Sect disciple never expected that Senior Sister Yuze would dare to refuse the five major sects, and immediately felt offended.
They almost had to fight, but luckily Senior Sister Jin Su arrived in time. The opponent was no match for them and had to retreat temporarily.
I thought that was the end of it.
As a result, last night, a junior disciple of the Guiyuan Sect who was in the Golden Core stage was caught in a sack on the street and taken to the arena arranged by the Tianji Sect for disciples of the five major sects to practice, where he was beaten up.
The next day, the Golden Core stage junior brother was bruised and swollen, looking pitiful and disheveled. He went downstairs to treat his injuries.
Senior Brother Qin Che happened to stumble upon this scene and immediately recognized that the person had been bullied.
How dare they bully disciples of the Guiyuan Sect? His temper flared up, and he grabbed the injured junior brother and headed upstairs, determined to seek justice for him.
Apart from a group of Longyuan Sect disciples, there was no one else on the arena.
According to Qin Che himself, he felt that the leader of the disciples looked shifty and didn't seem like a good person, so he must have done it!
Without hesitation, he beat the group of disciples until they screamed in pain.
When the Longyuan Sect disciples who came up later saw this, they were immediately enraged. How dare a group of Nascent Soul cultivators bully a group of Golden Core cultivators? Have they no shame?
They're bullying their junior brother!
The Golden Core stage disciple who had been beaten immediately rushed over to his senior brothers and sisters, crying and complaining.
The Dragon Abyss Sect disciples who had come up to be beaten were furious; the Guiyuan Sect had gone too far!
Do they really think their Dragon Abyss Sect is easy to mess with?
beat!
They directly engaged in battle with Qin Che and his group.
News of the conflict between the disciples of Guiyuan Sect and Longyuan Sect spread like wildfire.
Soon the entire inn knew.
How did the conflict suddenly break out?
But no matter what, this battle involves two sects, and their sect cannot afford to lose!
Immediately, disciples from various sects who learned of this news rushed towards the arena.
As soon as Senior Sister Jin Su arrived, she spotted the disciple whose head had been beaten up like a pig's.
This guy looks so familiar.
Isn't this the arrogant guy from yesterday? He saw his Golden Core stage junior brother, who also looked miserable.
Good heavens, Senior Sister Jin Su, what else is there that you don't understand? This guy is taking revenge, deliberately taking revenge!
Senior Sister Jinsu immediately told the other senior brothers and sisters about what happened yesterday. The disciples of Guiyuan Sect felt that Longyuan Sect was going too far.
Seeing his junior brother's miserable state, Longyuan Sect felt that Guiyuan Sect had gone too far!
The disciples of the two sects stared at each other, a moment of intense rage, a clash of old and new grudges, with no prelude, and they simply started fighting!
Yingyue was no match for them on the battlefield.
These Dragon Abyss Sect disciples are all battle maniacs. Once they start fighting, they don't care about anything else. Even she, as an alchemist, would probably not be able to fight back, let alone release poisonous mist, if her alchemy furnace hadn't been upgraded.
Of course, the most pitiful one was Wen Sishu. Fortunately, this guy was clever enough to take two punches and then find an opportunity to hide in the alchemy furnace.
Judging from his screams, he probably wasn't in much better shape.
As more and more Nascent Soul cultivators from the Dragon Abyss Sect joined the battle, the situation began to turn one-sided.
Yingyue quickly ran down to get help.
Only a freak like Junior Sister Cheng Jiu could keep those beasts in the Dragon Abyss Sect in check.
As for Senior Brother Nan, Yingyue didn't want him to know.
We've fought this far, we have to decide a winner!
This is no longer just a simple act of revenge; it's a battle that stakes the honor of the sect!
So go for it, junior sister!
As soon as Cheng Jiu arrived, he saw two teams fighting fiercely, seemingly oblivious to the danger.
Overall, Guiyuan Sect is at a greater disadvantage. Longyuan Sect's Nascent Soul Realm experts are all ruthless individuals capable of fighting beyond their own level. It's not that their own Nascent Soul Realm experts are weak, but rather that the level is unequal.
The sect has allocated a considerable number of places to the Four Arts.
Unlike the Dragon Abyss Sect, which is composed entirely of sword cultivators, the high-end combat strength is unequal. The only sect that can rival it is the Wuji Sect.
Moreover, the sword cultivators of the Dragon Abyss Sect are indeed very strong. They also have their own coordinated sword formations, which are perfectly integrated and extremely powerful!
Guiyuan Sect was indeed at a great disadvantage against them.
The main force of the Nascent Soul Realm is Senior Brother Qin Che and his group. Given the imbalance in high-end combat power, it is up to these Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to grit their teeth and step up.
The beautiful red and blue Qilins worked together seamlessly with their master, managing to suppress the two Nascent Soul Realm cultivators and gain the upper hand!
A ghostly figure roamed freely across the battlefield. Every time he appeared, every sword strike was effective. His sword was fast and ruthless; even a Nascent Soul cultivator would not be spared from his blows.
These disciples could only be distracted during the battle to guard against this elusive sword strike!
A sturdy alchemy furnace was tossed about by the aftershocks of the battle, and every now and then someone would kick it, making it spin like a pitiful top.
