Chapter 913 Visitors from Zhongzhou, Phoenix Nirvana!
Whether it is the Four Elephant Stone Pillar or the Three Walls and Four Elephant Formation, they were all modified by Zhou Jianteng, the chief helmsman of the Tengjian Sect, based on the sect-protecting formation built by the Wushuang God Emperor himself in the Zhongzhou Jianzong.
become.
This is the only formation that Tengjian Sect has set up to protect the sect since its establishment, and it is also the foundation of its destiny!
Over the course of thousands of years, Tengjian Sect has relied on this formation to withstand many crises and turn things around in many life-and-death situations before achieving its current achievements.
And it is precisely because of this that the Four Elephants Stone Pillar became the symbol of the Tengjian Sect; the Three Walls and Four Elephants Formation became the most important secret of the Tengjian Sect.
Except for the chief sect master Zhou Jianteng, there are only a handful of people who know the method of dispelling the formation.
Even the elders of the main sect sword pavilion have no way of knowing!
But these secret techniques were mastered by Ye Wushuang, a young master from a second-rate family who was born in the Cangyun Empire and a second-rate city.
This is absolutely shocking to the entire Tengjian Sect.
Not to mention Tao Jingyuan, the leader of Cangyun Branch of Tengjian Sect, even the elders at the headquarters of Tengjian Sect in Zhongzhou would be stunned like five thunderbolts when they heard the news!
"Sure!"
Elder Lieyang glanced at the broken tea cup on the ground and the large water stains, and nodded firmly.
He was not too surprised by the performance of the sect leader Tao Jingyuan, but looked like he had expected it.
After all, he saw with his own eyes that Ye Wushuang drove the Four Elephant Stone Pillars, opened the Three Walls and Four Elephants Formation, and killed Yin Shisan and others.
That horrific scene is still vivid in his mind and unforgettable!
"Ye Wushuang..."
After receiving a definite reply, Tao Jingyuan was completely stunned for a long time before he slowly came back to his senses, sat down slowly, and murmured as if to himself: "Earlier in Ten Thousand Beast Ridge, I discovered that this boy is very special.
Extraordinary; but I never expected that he could actually drive the four-elephant stone pillars and activate our sect's three-walled four-elephant formation. This..."
"This is simply unbelievable..."
"Sect Master, it was precisely because of this that we decided privately not to investigate him for killing the thirteen Yin elders and let him go."
Song Qi also took a step forward at this moment, bowed his hands and said: "After all, this matter is very important. If we really want to break up with Ye Wushuang at that time, not to mention whether we can capture this son, I am afraid that our Tengjian Sect will also be burned to the ground!
"
"good!"
Elder Zheng Guang also nodded and sighed: "However, although what Ye Wushuang did was a bit strong, it caused our Tengjian Sect to lose a lot of face; but looking at it from another angle, the Yin Thirteen people formed a clique for personal gain and colluded with Cangyun
The emperor's faction in the college attempted to subvert the two major sects and influence the government, so they deserved to die!"
"But no matter what, without the sect master, we failed to protect the sect. Not only did the three elders die tragically, but the sect was disgraced. I am willing to be punished for this crime!"
Before he finished speaking, Elder Zheng Guang pondered for a moment and immediately knelt down on one knee, looking like he was asking for forgiveness.
"We are willing to be punished!"
Seeing this scene, Elder Lieyang, Elder Song Qi and others also knelt down on one knee and respectfully apologized.
"You are..."
When Tao Jingyun saw this, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed and waved his hands: "Although what you did seems inappropriate, under the circumstances, you made the best choice for the sect; otherwise,
Just as Elder Zheng Guang said, if you really piss off Ye Wushuang, both the jade and the stone will be destroyed."
"With the Three Walls and Four Elephants Formation in his hands, he is definitely more than enough to destroy my entire Tengjian Sect branch!"
Speaking of this, Tao Jingyuan paused, looked at Elder Lieyang, and continued: "Besides, although this incident has damaged the sect's face, Elder Lieyang also won over Ye Wushuang.
Have we become friends?"
Elder Lieyang hurriedly bowed: "This matter is not due to Lao Chan, it is actually a fluke. It is all because Lao Chan's incompetent disciple is Ye Wushuang's eldest brother, so there is an opportunity to relax."
"Whether it's a disciple or a master, the outcome of this matter is a good thing for our sect. We have avoided a strong enemy and made a good friend."
Tao Jingyuan stroked his beard and smiled and said: "I think Ye Wushuang will have a bright future. As Ye Wenfeng is Ye Wushuang's eldest brother, his achievements will not be bad."
"Lieyang has gained a good disciple this time!"
"The sect master is so complimentary!"
Elder Lieyang heard this and quickly kowtowed.
"Okay, everyone, get up!"
Tao Jingyuan immediately said no more, waved his hand and said with a smile: "This matter has been revealed, and your merits and demerits have been equalized. No one is allowed to pursue it in the future!"
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, all the elders hurriedly saluted and got up one after another.
After everyone stood up, Tao Jingyuan calmed down and continued: "In addition to explaining the development of our Cangyun Branch in recent years to the Chief Sect, there is another more important thing.
, I need to inform you.”
"The main sect will adjust its forces and decide to gather some resources and power, so some sub-sects will be eliminated!"
What?
As soon as these words came out, Lieyang and others suddenly changed their colors and all looked at Tao Jingyuan.
"Everyone must know that our Tengjian Sect has always held a sect competition every ten years; and next spring will be the occasion of a new round of competition."
Tao Jingyuan ignored everyone's astonishment and continued: "At that time, the 36th branch and the 72nd branch of Tengjian Sect will send outstanding swordsmen in the sect to Zhongzhou to participate in the assessment."
"And this competition will determine which sub-rudder branches will be canceled and returned to the headquarters; those sub-ruler branches will still be independent!"
When everyone heard this, they were stunned again, and they all showed bitterness.
Returning to the headquarters may seem like a good thing, but in fact, for the branch elders, it is equivalent to a reduction in power and demotion!
After all, although the main sect of the Tengjian Sect is located in Zhongzhou, the richest area in the Tianjian Continent, with a profound foundation and rich resources, it also has many capable people and strong men.
And these branch elders, although they have a high position of power within the branch, below one person and above ten thousand people; but if they really return to the headquarters, if they are lucky, they will be able to take on some idle care in the outer sect; if they are not lucky,
, then there is a high probability that he will be directly reduced to an ordinary disciple.
Not only do you lose your freedom, you no longer have any privileges!
Elder Lieyang took the lead in grasping the key to the problem at this moment. He took a step forward, raised his hands and asked: "Sect Master, I wonder how the main sect plans to decide on the independence and return of the branch?"
"Simple, let's judge by the sect competition."
Tao Jingyuan said calmly: "If the branch swordsman can enter the top ten in the sect competition, its branch can continue to be independent; otherwise, it will return to the main sect and cancel the division!"
"What?"
When Elder Zheng Guang heard this, he was immediately shocked and said bluntly: "This...doesn't this mean that among all the helms, only ten are left?"
"Where did the ten come from? The main sect is rich in resources, and the strength of its swordsmen has always far surpassed that of our sub-rudders. In previous competitions, if there were one or two sub-rudder swordsmen, it would be good to be among the top ten. Do you still want to enter them all?
?”
Song Qi shook his head as if he had seen through everything, and said with a bitter smile: "It is obvious that the main sect intends to gather all the branches!"
When all the elders heard this, they instantly woke up and looked at Tao Jingyuan.
"Elder Song understands it so well, so there is no problem."
Tao Jingyuan nodded slightly, directly chose to admit, and said with a wry smile: "I heard that the Zhongzhou Sword Sect has been undergoing frequent changes in recent years, and it seems that it is brewing some huge plan. The chief sect leader left the seclusion this time just to deal with this matter. It is very possible that
Next year, we will start a war with Jian Zong."
"So, it is reasonable to gather all the power of the helm!"
"What? Are you going to start a war with Jian Zong?"
"No wonder he suddenly had to retract the helm..."
"In that case, what else is there to compare with? The chief sect leader just gives the order and we all rush to Zhongzhou!"
As soon as these words came out, the elders were stunned for a moment, and then started shouting.
This is not because they are all militants, but simply because they have long looked down upon the Zhongzhou Sword Sect.
For thousands of years, the Teng Sword Sect has developed rapidly; but from the beginning to the end, the Zhongzhou Sword Sect has maintained a steady pressure on them.
They who are far away in the Cangyun Empire have little experience of this; but those disciples of the Tengjian Sect in the Zhongzhou Main Sect have been bullied by the Sword Sect.
As for Elder Lieyang and others, they were all sent from Zhongzhou Main Sect in the early years, and they still have an unforgettable impression of Jian Sect's tyranny!
"How can it be that simple?"
When Tao Jingyuan saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head and said, "Not everyone in Tengjian Sect's 100th Rudder has the same thoughts as us."
"Especially for some branch rudders located in remote but fertile places in Zhongzhou, thousands of years of precipitation have long made them stable. At this time, if the chief sect suddenly summons them to gather in Zhongzhou to start a war with Jianzong, I am afraid that those who
Nine times out of ten, people will directly become independent, or they will build plank roads openly and covertly, and run away quietly."
"By then, I'm afraid there will be a fire in our backyard before the war with Jian Zong begins!"
"So, the chief sect is taking advantage of the sect competition to try to consolidate the rudders first?"
Song Qi instantly saw the essence and said: "In this way, if someone is dissatisfied, they are betraying the sect instead of fearing the battle, let alone thinking that the main sect asked them to die; for the disciples of the sub-rudder, naturally
You won’t be so resistant; for the Zongzong, there is also time and reason to deal with those who have different intentions, right?"
"good!"
Tao Jingyuan nodded, a sad look flashed across his face, and added: "Moreover, if a branch disciple really enters the top ten, it means that the branch's ability to cultivate disciples is no less than that of the main sect; in this way, if they are excluded,
By not participating in the war, it can be regarded as leaving a line of fire for our Tengjian Sect in advance."
After hearing this, the elders nodded again and agreed.
Elder Lieyang frowned and said doubtfully: "In this case, everyone is going to return to the main sect; what does the sect leader have to worry about?"
"I'm worried because I was summoned by Master when I left Zhongzhou."
"General Sect Master?"
When several people heard this, their spirits trembled.
Tao Jingyuan is a close disciple of the chief sect leader Zhou Jianteng, so the master he calls is naturally Zhou Jianteng!
"good!"
Tao Jingyuan nodded and sighed: "Master, I want to give this fire to us..."
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, Lieyang and others were instantly dumbfounded.
"Sect Master, I am not just trying to inflate other people's ambitions to destroy my own prestige."
Zheng Guang, who is outspoken, immediately said: "In past competitions, although we are not at the bottom, we can still be in the middle; if you want to compete for the top fifty, that is not a big problem; but the top ten...
"
"Unless we old guys come on stage, it will be even harder than climbing to the sky!"
The Eastern Wasteland is notoriously barren.
The Tengjian Sect located in the Cangyun Empire is even more barren, with extremely scarce resources. This means that although its disciples are not weak, compared with other branches, especially compared with the main sect, they are absolutely inferior.
What a huge difference!
"Of course I know this truth, but when Master opens his mouth, how can I, a disciple, refuse?"
Tao Jingyuan smiled bitterly when he heard this, and immediately said: "However, you don't need to worry too much. The people who came to select disciples this time were sent by Master himself. In addition to selecting disciples to participate in the competition, they will also help us.
The swordsman who has passed the training will be ready for the competition in three months."
"In three months, even if the chief sect leader comes to train in person, I'm afraid it won't be enough!"
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, none of the elders showed a look of surprise on their faces.
The path to martial arts is not something that can be accomplished in a day, it requires years and months of hard work; in just three months, it is absolutely difficult to make the current disciples in the sect soar in cultivation!
"Of course I know this truth, but since Master has spoken, we must go all out."
Tao Jingyuan sighed: "As for success or failure, alas, leave it to God!"
As soon as these words came out, Lieyang and the others immediately looked at me and me, and they all fell into silence.
Obviously, they don't believe that someone can train a swordsman from among the disciples of the sect who can be among the best in the sect competition in just three months!
"Report!"
At this moment, an outer disciple suddenly ran over and rushed into the main hall. He knelt down and shouted loudly: "Sect Master, someone... someone broke into the mountain gate!"
What?
The elders' expressions changed slightly when they heard this.
Tao Jingyuan frowned and asked: "Who is it?"
"Zhongzhou Zongzong, Sui Yuhan!"
Before the outer disciple could answer, a sweet laugh suddenly sounded.
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and several figures landed in front of the main hall one after another; the first figure was the first to step into it.
"Old man Tao, I haven't seen you for more than a month. Have you forgotten me so quickly?"
...
Cangyun Mountains, Hanjian Valley.
As the morning sun began to rise, the valley became abuzz with people's voices; figures one after another busily gathered together to build a huge stone platform on the open space in the valley.
It is said to be a stone platform, but in fact it is more like a boiler.
It is round in shape and hollowed out in the middle; it looks like a round cauldron, standing in the middle!
Ye Qingtian and Ye Wenfeng, father and son, were in front of the stone platform, directing the crowd to work and pour water into the huge stone platform.
"Father, big brother!"
At this moment, Ye Wushuang led the pale-faced Ye Wufeng out of the side hall and slowly walked towards the two of them.
"Second brother, third brother!"
Seeing this, Ye Wenfeng hurriedly smiled and greeted warmly.
"Brother!"
Ye Wufeng nodded, then looked at Ye Qingtian, hesitated for a moment, then bowed his hands and said: "Father..."
"snort!"
Ye Qingtian snorted coldly, glanced at Ye Wufeng, with an angry look, turned to look at Ye Wushuang, and asked: "Wushuang, the stone platform has been built according to your instructions; it's just that this
Can this thing really heal Qingcheng?"
This stone platform was a drawing that Ye Wushuang gave to his elder brother Ye Wenfeng when he was comforting Ye Wufeng last night. He said that it could heal Liu Qingcheng and asked him to send people to build it.
At first, the two of them didn't pay much attention; but as the stone platform was completed, the two of them couldn't help but feel excited.
This thing is said to be a stone platform, but it looks like a big pot no matter how you look at it. Adding water to it, it looks like a large pool. It doesn't look like something that can be used for healing.
"certainly!"
Ye Wushuang nodded firmly, looked at the stone platform four to five meters high in front of him, and said with a smile: "With this thing, the phoenix can reach nirvana!"
