Dihua Villa suddenly became tense in the following days, strengthening internal and external defenses, and even activated protections similar to the sect-protecting formation, which made many disciples feel uneasy.
The elders who usually don't show up at all came here at this time, and even the sick scholar Yuanying Keqing, the elder who was unknown to many disciples, also appeared, which also made many Dihua disciples feel excited. Many people speculated whether
A sect war is about to break out.
Chen Fuzhi, Chen Qi and Zhou Hua, under the leadership of Wang Rui, concentrated on practicing and ignored this. This was Wang Rui's request to them, especially Zhou Hua. Although he had calmed down, he was still unwilling to accept it.
.
Chen Fuzhi has broken through to the ninth level of Qi training, and Chen Qi has reached the Small Perfection level. Wang Rui has become stricter with them, hoping that they will further enhance their strength in the near future.
In addition to the necessary training pills, Wang Rui also prepared life-saving means for them.
Chen Fuzhi obtained the Talisman Matte Shield, which allowed him to withstand for a period of time even against late-stage Foundation Establishment monks. He doesn’t really need these now. With his own thunder-based skills and Huanglong Kung, unless he encounters a pill-forming
Monk, otherwise he would be confident enough to defeat his opponent.
Chen Qi also obtained a talisman, which is a fire talisman named "Lihuo Zhenhuang". After using it, she can generate fire wings and fly quickly without relying on magic weapons. At the same time, the wings are closed.
When it is activated, it can form a certain degree of protection. Any enemy that attacks her will be counterattacked by fire power. It can be said that it is both offensive and defensive.
In addition to strengthening the practice of Yin Xuan Gong, Zhou Hua also needs to improve her actual combat ability. Therefore, the three of them accompanied her in actual combat exercises during this period, so that she had no time to pay attention to the unusual movements in the villa.
After a few days like this, Liu Yun came to Wang Rui and invited him to the meeting hall. Xiangu and some senior immortals seemed to have something to ask him.
"Brother Rui, are you okay?" Chen Qi stepped forward and asked with some worry.
Wang Rui smiled and asked, "This is Dihua Villa, don't worry."
At this time, Zhou Hua was still in a selfless contest with Chen Fuzhi. He was constantly defeated, but he kept gritting his teeth and continued to fight. Wang Rui also admired this kind of tenacity.
After following Liu Yun out of the courtyard where the three of them were, Wang Rui asked: "Senior Sister Liu, besides Fairy Aunt, who are the other seniors?"
Liu Yun hesitated for a moment and replied: "Ke Qing, the sick scholar, Master's friend Taoist Master Fuyunzi, and my two senior brothers and a senior sister... By the way, Junior Brother Wang, my senior brother and senior sister are not very good-tempered.
, it may also be due to my feelings for my junior sister, so it may cause trouble to you, I hope you can understand when the time comes."
Hearing this, Wang Rui's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that this meeting was not going to be very pleasant. Zhou Hua was brought here by the three of them. She was currently favored by the fairy, but she didn't expect that it would make several of her classmates jealous.
.
"Alas, sometimes this world of cultivation is no different from the mortal world, and even more so in terms of intrigues and intrigues. After all, we are still mortals." Wang Rui couldn't help but sneered a few times. The monks were not broad-minded.
After arriving at the meeting hall, Wang Rui found that the scene was much more deserted than last time, perhaps intentionally.
Except for the guarding disciples at the door, there were only a few people inside, and even Liu Yun could not enter.

A depressing atmosphere filled the air. This was Wang Rui's first feeling after stepping in.
Of course Fairy Gu had seen it before, and her face looked a little strange at this time, as if she had gone through a quarrel.
On the right side of the fairy aunt is a middle-aged man. He is very thin and has sickly pale skin. He is wearing a somewhat sloppy scholar's robe. Could this man be another Nascent Soul elder of the villa - the sick scholar?
Looking opposite the fairy aunt, there was a kind-hearted silver-haired old Taoist, sitting there as still as a mountain, holding the fly whisk in his arms. When Wang Rui came in, he raised his eyes and looked at him, which made him feel terrified.
If the guess is correct, this old Taoist should be Fuyunzi, and the one who can be on an equal footing with Xiangu must also be a Nascent Soul monk.
Next to the sick scholar is a woman who seems to be older and more mature than Liu Yun. She is wearing a red dress and has a red maple leaf standing on her bun.
"Could this woman be a monk from Red Maple Valley?" Wang Rui continued to speculate on his own.
Finally, there were two men next to Fuyunzi, who looked much older than him. One had a long black beard under his chin, and the other had a black beard on his lips.
The bearded man's hair is very short, almost bald, and he is wearing a moon-white monk's robe, with a string of nanmu-colored beads hanging on his chest. The other man has his hair tied up in a bun with a wooden hairpin going through it, and he is wearing a dark blue monk's robe with a double-breasted robe.
Decorated with gold and black patterns.
"Wang Rui, a disciple of Xutian Sect, pays homage to Xiangu and all the seniors." Wang Rui decided to lower his attitude first and be polite. After all, these people are much higher in cultivation than himself. Even if someone is unhappy with him, he should not give excuses to others.
The fairy girl showed a smile, nodded and said, "Wang Rui, the main reason I called you here today is about the Shadow Society. You don't need to be nervous. We are just asking for some details."
Then Xiangu introduced Wang Rui to the other people present. As he expected, he basically guessed the identities of these people.
Wan Chenghai, a sick scholar, is a loose immortal. He was invited to become a guest elder decades ago. He rarely comes here and travels around the world most of the time. However, when he is summoned by the villa, he will not shirk it. After all, the elder is there.
Shouchi also received preferential treatment and could not accept favors for no reason.
The woman in the red dress, Ban Suxian, is indeed a monk of the Red Maple Valley, and is already an elder of Danjie. She is also one of Xiangu's disciples. Now she can be considered as independent.
The two Buddhist and Taoist people opposite are also disciples of Xiangu. One is from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, and now his name has been changed, and he is now the elder of Jiedan. The other is from Jiuyang Temple, and he is also the elder of Jiedan, and his Taoist name is Yifan.
The last veteran is Fuyunzi, who is also the leader of another independent immortal sect, Fuyun Mountain.
Wang Rui discovered that among the people present, three of them came from the four top sects, namely Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, Jiuyang Temple and Red Maple Valley. It seemed that he had discovered traces of the Shadow Society, which had caused the conflict between the three top sects.
focus on.
Three Nascent Soul monks and three Pill Formation monks, this was the first time for Wang Rui to face so many high-level monks. A monk like himself in the early stage of foundation building was not worth mentioning in front of them.
Later, Ban Suxian from Red Maple Valley took the lead to ask. She glanced at Wang Rui in front of her and felt that his qualifications were mediocre, his appearance was not outstanding, and his foundation-building skills were nothing, but she recommended him.

A mortal woman became her junior sister, but it was precisely this junior sister's home country of Zhou that was destroyed and involved in the Shadow Society, which made her first impression of Wang Rui not good.
"Wang Rui, the fairy lady introduced you to some information about the Shadow Society earlier. I would like to ask a few questions, is that okay?" Ban Suxian's calm tone was a little cold.
Wang Rui clasped his fists and said, "Senior, please speak, I must know everything and say everything."
"Okay!" Ban Suxian nodded and continued to ask: "Queen Liu Xi of the Kingdom of Zhou has the Shadow Society token on her body, but she claims to be a member of the Wangqing Sect. Which of these two identities do you think is true and which is false?
"
Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Wang Rui, and they also wanted to know this question.
Wang Rui thought for a while and replied: "Junior has interrogated Liu Xi, she did not deny the identity of the Shadow Society, and also mentioned the level represented by the color of the token, so this woman must be a member of the Shadow Society. As for this woman
She also claimed to be a disciple of the Wangqing Sect. Under the interrogation of the juniors, this woman still confessed. Liu Xi was not the true identity of this woman, but her body was taken away by her. Therefore, apart from being a member of the Shadow Society, this woman's true identity was
The rest cannot be traced."
"Do you think what she said is true, or did she deliberately mislead you?" Ban Suxian continued to ask.
Wang Rui replied calmly: "This junior is just an outer disciple of the Xutian Sect. He speaks softly. It is almost impossible to come into contact with secrets like the Shadow Society. What's the point of misleading this junior?"
Ban Suxian remained silent and stopped asking questions, but he was obviously unwilling.
Later, Lie Yin from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect coughed and asked: "Wang Rui, the Kingdom of Zhou has been destroyed by several neighboring countries, but it only involves the change of mortal dynasties, but I also heard the Xutian Sect's response to the results
He was very angry and threatened to take revenge in the future. Now that you are exposing this matter, wouldn’t it mean that the destruction of the Zhou Kingdom was behind the Shadow Society, and it would be natural for the Xutian Sect to restore the Zhou Kingdom in the future, right or wrong?”
"This junior has not informed the sect of this matter before, and the Xutian Sect does not know about it. A few days ago, this junior also heard that the Zhou royal family was suddenly exterminated, and was later divided up by neighboring countries, and then he thought of Liu Xi's body
It may have something to do with it, but it’s not as far-reaching as the seniors thought." Wang Rui glanced at the fake monk and felt that this man seemed to be very rude to the Xutian Sect. Could it be that the Wanfo Sect was biased against the Xutian Sect?
"Hmph, you are so clever. As a disciple of the Xutian Sect, it is hard for people to believe that you would not report this situation to the sect." Liaoyin's tone still sounded harsh.
Fairy aunt couldn't help but scolded: "Little room, have your wings grown hard, and you are still so weak in my teacher's place? Ask questions properly, don't be arrogant, if you dare to talk nonsense again, my teacher will beat you
"Dun."
"Master..." Lieyin's face suddenly turned red. Unexpectedly, his nickname was called out by the fairy. Seeing his embarrassed and depressed expression, several others couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the atmosphere finally relaxed.
.
Wang Rui breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know whether it was for personal reasons or for the sect. In short, he felt that the other party was deliberately looking for trouble. Ban Suxian was more concerned about Liu Xi's true identity, but Li Yin was a bit targeted at Xutian.
Zong.
It seems that the grievances between the immortal sects, especially the four top sects, are also very deep, and it is difficult to truly unite. No wonder the immortal aunt was a little helpless at first.
