Tianlan Mountain is located in the southeast of the Han Dynasty. It is surrounded by forests and has pleasant scenery. On Tianlan Mountain, there are two small peaks. According to rumors, one of them is the previous head of Tianlan Sect and the current Taishang Elder.
, the residence of Ancestor Linghu, no one is allowed to break in without his summons.
But on the small peak near the central square of Tianlan Mountain is the main hall of Tianlan Sect, the residence of the leaders of the past dynasties. The purpose of Xiaoyu and Ding Datong at this moment is there.
"Alas... I can't bear to look back on the past!" After climbing Tianlan Mountain, standing on the quiet bluestone path, Xiao Yu whispered with emotion.
Three years ago, his body was so weak that he needed to recover his energy, blood, and wine before he could even climb a mountain. Compared with now, where he is like an ape, leaping up the mountain in just a few plunders, he is completely different. However, Xiao Yu
Surprisingly, Ding Datong, who had also suffered from unknown toxins for more than ten years, climbed the mountain very quickly and arrived before him.
"Old guy, it's really not simple, he's hidden so deeply." Xiao Yu whispered in his heart. He didn't believe that Ding Datong really only had the second level of Ningyuan cultivation, and he must have hidden his true strength.
However, Xiao Yu didn't think much about it. As long as Ding Datong stayed safe, he would never make an attack. If Ding Datong had ulterior motives, Xiao Yu would not sit still and wait for death.
Soon Xiao Yu and Ding Datong walked out of the bluestone path. A square with a radius of 500 meters was filled with hundreds of outer disciples of the Tianlan Sect wearing uniform black armor and doing morning exercises.
Xiao Yu has met most of these people, and there are also some new faces. It seems that they have only joined the disciples of Tianlan Sect in the three years since he was absent, but the deacon who trained them is a person Xiao Yu is very familiar with, and he is quite familiar with them.
For an unexpected person, Xiong Yang has now reached the eighth level of foundation building.
"Junior Xiong Yang, I have met Mr. Ding." After Ding Datong and Xiao Yu approached, Xiong Yang immediately clasped his fists and saluted.
"No need to be polite." Ding Datong waved his hand casually and walked directly past Xiong Yang without saying much.
But when Xiaoyu passed by, Xiong Yang couldn't help but take a few more glances. He felt that this person was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. But it was no wonder that Xiaoyu's current appearance was different from the three of them.
He has changed a lot over the years, and he is mature with perseverance. If you are not a particularly familiar person, it is difficult to recognize him at a glance.
However, when Xiaoyu walked past Xiong Yang, she suddenly showed a bright smile, took a deep look at Xiong Yang and said, "We haven't seen you for three years. Senior Brother Xiong is even more charming than before!"
"Do you know me?" Xiong Yang was stunned and looked up and down. He still couldn't remember where he had seen this strange young man who was half a head taller than him and had weapons wrapped in black cloth. He said in confusion.
: "Dare to ask your friend's name."
"Since I don't remember, there's no need to ask anymore. I still have something to do, so I'll take the first step." Xiao Yu didn't answer, always smiling, and caught up with Ding Datong.
"This person is so strange. Since he knows me, why doesn't he reveal his identity?" Looking at Xiao Yu and the two people who were gradually disappearing in the square, Xiong Yang shook his head, turned to face the outer disciples who took the opportunity to be lazy, and shouted loudly.
After leaving the square, Xiao Yu and Ding Datong did not speak, and the atmosphere between them was quite silent. They soon arrived at an empty square that was almost a thousand meters in diameter.
This is the central square of the Tianlan Sect. It is usually only used when holding grand celebrations or gathering all the disciples of the sect. On the left edge of the square, there is a small mountain with a height of 100 meters, and a majestic one on it.
The building stands proudly, and there is the main hall of Tianlan Sect.
"Wait a minute." When he arrived at the foot of the mountain peak, Ding Datong stopped and took out a teleportation spell from his storage bag.
After silently reciting the Taoist formula, the talisman immediately burned and turned into a golden light that rushed high into the sky and shot into the hall. A moment later, a crane roar came, and a giant crane with wings spread out, about three meters in size, came from a hundred meters away.
It swooped down from the meter-high mountain and landed on the ground.
"This is the spiritual bird raised by the master, the first-level monster White Feathered Crane. Let's go up." Ding Datong explained briefly and jumped on the back of the White Feathered Crane, with Xiaoyu following closely behind.
After the two of them sat down, the white-feathered crane flapped its huge wings, whipped up a gust of wind, rushed high into the sky, and soon landed in front of the main hall on the mountain peak.
Immediately, Xiao Yu and the others jumped down, while the white-feathered crane flapped its wings, flew high into the sky and circled around before landing on the roof of the hall. At the same time, Ding Datong turned to Xiao Yu and said seriously: "All I can do is help you.
Recommendation, whether you can be selected depends on your own strength."
"Junior understands, thank you Mr. Ding for your help." Xiao Yu saluted with a calm expression.
"Let's go." Ding Datong's expression was also extremely dull, and he walked into the hall, with Xiao Yu following closely behind.
The main hall of Tianlan Sect is all built with jade. There are more than a dozen huge jade pillars standing on both sides, with dragons and phoenixes carved on them, which is quite impressive.
At the top of the hall, sitting on a chair made of purple jade, was an old Taoist with white hair and white beard, a kind face, wearing a green Taoist robe, and holding a floating dust in his hand. He was the master of Tianlan Sect.
Men, Duan Changyun.
But below Duan Changyun, sitting on the left and right sides, two old men who looked to be about fifty or sixty years old, dressed as Taoist priests, were among the five elders of the Tianlan Sect, the eldest elder Li Yuzhu and the third elder Xu Canghai
.
"Brother Ding, I received a message from you last night, saying that I wanted to introduce a strong disciple to participate in the three major competitions in six days. Is he the young man behind you?" After Ding Datong approached,
Duan Changyun asked directly to the topic without any politeness.
"Yes, it's my disciple, Xiao Yu." Ding Datong nodded and admitted.
"Brother Ding, are you kidding?" Duan Changyun thought he had heard wrongly and asked again.
"No, if you want to win the three-sect competition and seize the ownership of the mine, you have to do it with him." Ding Datong said firmly, as if he was full of confidence in Xiao Yu.
But after listening to Ding Datong's answer, not only Duan Changyun was shocked this time, but even the two elders on both sides couldn't sit still.
"Mr. Ding, this is not a joke. Everyone in the Tianlan Sect knows that your apprentice Xiao Yu is a waste who cannot practice. How can he participate in the three-sect competition on behalf of the Tianlan Sect?" Xu Canghai, the third elder, first said
He glanced at Xiao Yu with disdain, then stood up and objected.
"You are right, but that was three years ago. The current Xiaoyu Jue is no weaker than any of the three elite disciples you selected to participate in the three sects' competition." Ding Datong said with a hint of pride.
"Mr. Ding, I think this matter is..." Xu Canghai obviously didn't believe what Ding Datong said and refused again.
But before he could finish his words this time, Ding Datong suddenly interrupted and said: "The three of you are all immortal cultivators in the phantom stage. With your soul power, can't you detect the realm of the apprentice? What if?
If you still don’t believe it, then find a competing disciple to have a try, and the winner will participate in the three sect competitions in six days, wouldn’t it kill two birds with one stone?”
"I think Mr. Ding's method is feasible." The great elder Li Yuzhu, who had never spoken a word, suddenly agreed to Ding Datong's request.
But the reason why Li Yuzhu agreed was not because he believed Ding Datong's words, but because he was cautious and had already used his soul power to investigate Xiao Yu clearly in secret. He also discovered that Xiao Yu could only build the foundation under the suppression of Qiankun Ruler.
The source power of the third level fluctuates, so I agree.
"Since the great elder has said so, let's follow Mr. Ding's request." Duan Changyun agreed after hesitating for a moment.
"Huh, you all agreed, so I have nothing to object to. Let's just call Xiong Yang over and compete with him." Xu Canghai snorted coldly and sat back on the chair again.
