Chapter 361: The Sect of Words
Xu Luo's heart was beating and thought to himself: Is this a sign that Kaiyang Sect is openly trying to interfere in secular imperial power? It seems... that spirit stone vein and that legend are tempting these sects... even greater than what he imagined!
Although Huangfu Shishi has always been simple, she was born in the royal family and received the highest secular education since she was a child. After hearing the words of the sect leader, the two delicate willow eyebrows raised slightly. Without saying anything, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She thought that she had the opportunity in the small world this time. After returning to the sect, she was immediately accepted as a personal disciple by Shangguan Qing, and treated her meticulously. She once felt that Kaiyang Sect was her second family. But now after these things happened, the sect leader's attitude... has changed quietly, which makes people sigh that the word "profit" is difficult to see through even a big figure like Shangguan Qing.
Although Huangfu Chongzhi was not interested in the throne, his IQ was not bad. After hearing Shangguan Qing's words, he smiled slightly, clasped his fists and said, "Chongzhi thanked Shangguan Sect Master for his great righteousness first, but... this matter is actually a matter within the Cangqiong Royal Family, so I won't bother Shangguan Sect Master much."
"Bold! How do you talk to the sect leader?" A disciple of Kaiyang Sect looked angry and scolded loudly.
"The Sect Master personally arrived here for the sake of your Cangqin Royal Family. Huangfu Chongzhi, I know what your reliance is. However, do you think that a young man from a small sect with only a low-class sect behind him can really protect your Cangqin Royal Family from the Cangqin Royal Family?" The young man riding on the scaled bird looked at Huangfu Chongzhi with a cold face and said lightly.
"This... is also a matter within our Cangqin Royal Family. Don't bother you so much." Huangfu Chongzhi smiled faintly, his smile was full of perfunctory, and then said, "You are here from afar, so let's settle down first and have a good rest."
"You..." The young man riding on the giant scale bird was really angry. He didn't expect that the other party would be so ignorant and embarrassed him several times, which made him unable to accept it at all. If it weren't for the sect leader beside him, he would have been unable to help but teach these ignorant things a lesson.
"Okay, what he said is right. We come from afar, so let's settle down first and then talk about other things." Shangguan Qing suddenly waved his hand, stopped the young man's impulse, glanced at Xu Luo, and said nothing more.
Afterwards, under the leadership of a dedicated person, these people from Kaiyang Sect moved into the highest-quality in the Cangqiu Emperor Capital.
After sending these people to the inn, Xu Luo and others said goodbye and left, and agreed to invite them in the palace tonight.
"It's too much. It's just a group of people from the sect. Look at their appearance, their nostrils are facing the sky, as if someone owes them money!" The little fat man looked resentful, and the image of the sect plummeted in his heart, destroying his illusion of the beautiful sect, and he was very unhappy.
"These are probably planning!" Huangfu sighed and looked at Xu Luo: "What do you think?"
Xu Luo nodded and said softly: "Now the news about that mineral vein has spread in the sect world. In addition, there is an illusory rumor, saying that there is treasure in the sky and the ascension to the immortal... Just this sentence alone can attract countless people to be moved by it."
"Immortal? It's nonsense! There may be many powerful people in this world who have been practicing since ancient times, but the immortals of Shou and Tianqi have always only appeared in legends. How could there be immortals? It's nonsense!" Xu Su said from the side.
"It depends on where that legend came from. At first, I thought it was nonsense and ridiculous. But now looking at the actions of these sects, I suddenly felt that maybe... there are some things we don't know, to be precise, that we cannot get in touch with. Otherwise, these sects that almost never have too deep contact with the secular world are unlikely to suddenly enter the secular world, and they act so high-profile!" Xu Luo said.
"No matter whether he is true or not, what does this legend have to do with us?" the little fat man said disapprovingly.
This time, Sui Yan did not scold the little fat man Bai Wuchi, but sneered: "Are you stupid? If this legend is true, then whoever controls the Cangqiu royal family will take the lead!"
The little fat man twitched slightly and said with a little depressed look: "They are sects! If they really make a tough guy, who can be our opponents?"
"Yes, although our strength has improved quickly enough, we can be regarded as strong people at the peak in the secular world. But facing sects... we are just standing on a small hill, and those sects are mountains!" Huangfu Chongzhi said with a little sadness.
At this time, everyone couldn't help looking at Xu Luo. Xu Ji pondered and said, "Xiao Luo, tell me, after all, you know the most about the sect here, and it is thanks to you that these people can have the current realm. When facing the sect, you are the only one who has the most say."
Xu Luo was not humble and said directly: "One mountain can't stand two tigers."
Huangfu Chongzhi's eyes lit up and he said, "What you mean is that there are more than one sect who has the idea of attacking us in the sky. They will not attack us until the winner is decided, right?"
Xu Ji was also shocked and nodded, "Yes, that's it! These sects will not take us as a secular imperial power seriously, so they will not attack us until they decide the outcome or reach an agreement, but..."
Xu Ji said, his eyebrows locked up and said softly: "What if these sects... reach some kind of agreement, what should we do?"
"Yes, there is no possibility of this. Xiao Luo, have you said that the relationship between several major sects is pretty good?" Xu Su asked from the side.
Everyone looked at Xu Luo again.
Xu Luo curled his lips and said, "You are all scared by the name of the sect. First of all, if there is no interest dispute between these sects, they will naturally not interfere with the rivers. But once there is a conflict between them, how can they be at peace? Secondly, even if they constrain each other, they dare not act rashly and want to reach some kind of agreement through negotiation. Just like now, Kaiyang will not act rashly on Tianshu... Then, won't we help them?"
"Yes!" None of these people are fools. As Xu Luo said, they were all frightened by the name of the sect. After hearing Xu Luo's words, they all felt a sudden enlightenment.
"If these sects really want to reach a certain compromise through negotiation and maintain a balance between each other, then we will destroy this balance! Although the name of the sect is scary, here... it is worldly! They can't help doing whatever they want!"
For a moment, everyone felt a sudden enlightenment and felt much more relaxed.
Afterwards, Xu Ji and Xu Su said goodbye one after another. They also had to inspect the army of the imperial capital. No matter what, they must first ensure the safety of the imperial capital and beware of people taking advantage of troubled waters.
In the secret room, the four brothers Huangfu Chongzhi, Xu Luo, Liu Feng and Sui Yan were left.
The four sworn brothers looked at each other and were all sighing.
What happened this year was like a dream for the brothers and others, and almost completely changed the future and destiny of each of them.
Huangfu Chongzhi first spoke: "Since we returned to the imperial capital, the four of us brothers have not had a good chat together. Let's talk about what happened to each other so that we can better face the various difficulties that may happen next."
Xu Luo nodded and glanced at the three of them: "Then... let's start with me first. I hope my experience will give you more knowledge about the sect."
Xu Luo said, took a deep breath, and then said, "Let's start with...I'll go to the sect conference..."
"The sect where Phoenix is located is not a big sect, but because I was targeted by Tianquan, the master of Phoenix, Li Wenxi, in order to help me, took me into Tianxuan. At that time, my strength should be among the younger generation of the sect..."
"On the way to the sect conference, I encountered Tianquan's pursuit. Although Tianquan is not a powerful sect, it is enough to make me fucked. Fortunately, all of this survived smoothly and I scared away an old man from Tianquan."
"Later, on the edge of the Tianduan Mountains, many sects gathered there. I also learned about the major sects in the Central Plains Sinzhou for the first time. The strongest of them is our biggest enemy... Tianshu!"
Xu Luo said slowly, with a helpless smile on his face: "I and Tianshu's disciples actually have a good relationship, and my sister-in-law Guo Ying is also from Tianshu."
Huangfu Chongzhi and Sui Yan couldn't help but take a breath. Although they knew before that the sect where Huangfu Haoyue was located was not simple, and it would be a general sect that could easily send out several sword kings in the realm of Transformation. But they didn't expect that Tianshu's power was so great. No wonder Kaiyang Sect was unwilling to have too much conflict with Tianshu.
"So, isn't it terrible what we have to face in the future?" the little fat man said with a bitter face.
Xu Luo nodded: "It can be said that, but... my relationship with Yuheng Sect, another major sect, is still good."
As he said that, Xu Luo continued: "These top sects are Tianshu, Yuheng, Kaiyang, Tianding and Yaoguang. These five sects named after the Big Dipper Stars should be the five most powerful sects in our entire Central Plains Star. Among them, Yuheng Sect has a good relationship with me. Ling Fengwu, the leader of Tianding Sect, is Lianyi's mother! If there is no big accident, he should not be an enemy of us."
"Ah... I didn't expect Sister Lianyi's life experience is so powerful!" the little fat man exclaimed.
