The Immortal Mansion disappeared, and after Zhou Jian came out of the main hall, he was immediately taken back to Wentian Sect by Patriarch Wu Fang in the name of protection.
Then, at the request of Patriarch Wufang, he held a sermon at Patriarch Peak.
He did not refuse, nor did he hide his secrets. He taught everything he gained from his insights in the main hall of the Immortal Mansion.
Patriarch Wu Fang, the other holy ancestors, and the core disciples of the Wentian Sect were all present. No one wanted to miss this opportunity to listen to the Great Dao, and they all sat down quietly to listen to Zhou Jianlai's sermon.
After speaking for eighteen days in a row, all the core disciples of Wentian Sect, including Patriarch Wu Fang and other saint ancestors, benefited a lot.
Some people even suddenly had an epiphany while listening to Zhou Jianlai's sermon, breaking through their bottlenecks on the spot and entering a new realm.
After the sermon ended, Patriarch Wu Fang wanted to keep Zhou Jianlai for a few more days to discuss at the Patriarch Peak, but found that Zhou Jianlai had left without saying goodbye, which made him frown and feel very unhappy.
There are only nine days left before the duel between Zhang Xiaozu, Shen Qingyun, and Xu Tianyi. How can Zhou Jianlai have the time to discuss Taoism with him?
Due to lack of time, he did not go to Liujia Village, but went directly to the Tianshui River with Du Keyi.
Black Ape also temporarily ended his retreat and went to the Tianshui River.
He hadn't seen Zhang Xiaopou for a long time and wanted to know how Zhang Xiaopou was growing up and whether he could accompany him into the dark forest to find the string for the Sun God's Bow.
The ancestors of various sects and aristocratic families couldn't sit still. They took the juniors who had made great achievements in the Immortal Mansion to the bank of Tianshui River. They wanted to show off their majesty and see what other families in the Immortal Mansion were doing.
opportunities.
Many people in the world couldn't sit still and went to the Tianshui River to watch the excitement.
Of course, there are also powerful people with great ambitions who want to take this opportunity to become famous in Jiuzhou.
There are also many people who go there for Zhang Xiaopou's jade items.
For example, it is said that Ms. Dong, the person in charge of the World Auction House, really wants to do jade business with Zhang Xiaozhu.
She had already been to Guowei Mansion three times for this matter, but had not seen Zhang Xiaozu once, so she did not want to miss this opportunity.
The Tianshui River is lively.
It was so lively that all the martial arts people from Jiuzhou gathered together to prepare for the New Year.
Smart business owners have opened restaurants, gambling houses, brothels, etc. on the river.
There are countless large ships lined up on both sides of the river bank, stretching up and down for dozens of miles.
At night, the lights on both sides of the river are brightly lit, like two long dragons lying on both sides of the river.
But very few people dare to drive their boats into the middle of the river. It's not because the current is so strong that they don't dare to drive, but because there will be fighting on the river at any time. If you are not careful, you will suffer disaster, and the boat will be destroyed and people will die.
And very few people dare to mess with a large boat that dares to roam freely in the middle of the river, because there is most likely a saint ancestor sitting in it.
On weekdays, ordinary people would never see saints even when they burn incense and worship Buddha. However, there are so many of them on the banks of the bustling Tianshui River that they are like handfuls.
Shen Haotian called it the carnival before the end.
Shen Qingyun and Xu Tianyi had already arrived at the riverside early, and even showed a little bit of their hands.
Shen Qingyun punched a peer of the Ben Yue Sect into the Tianshui River with three punches, shocking all the sects and aristocratic families.
One by one, Xu Tian tore open a seven-inch long and three-inch wide bloody hole in the chest of the Qilin Holy Beast Guardian who had surrendered to the Lingjian Sect. He almost disemboweled him, scaring several others who wanted to challenge Qinglong.
The guardian of the sacred beast who has the status of a sacred beast dare not make any mistakes.
But their opponent Zhang Xiaozu never showed up.
After all the martial arts people saw how powerful Shen Qingyun and Xu Tianyi were, they all speculated whether Zhang Xiaopou was too scared to come.
"You bastard, where can I escape?"
"Stop, I will spare your life!"
At eight o'clock in the morning, ferocious roars suddenly rang out one after another on the quiet river.
"Who is it? You are so unethical, making noises so early in the morning and disturbing people's dreams!"
"Mom, you are sleeping soundly."
Many people in the cabin were woken up by the shouting and got up from the bed cursing.
Although it was already eight o'clock in the morning, most of them had been in restaurants, gambling houses, and brothels last night and were intoxicated until late at night before falling asleep, so this was the time to sleep soundly.
Many capable people ran out of the cabin angrily, wanting to teach the guy who disturbed their sleep a lesson, but after seeing the clothes the other person was wearing, they all shrank their necks and did not dare to say anything.
On the steamy river, five Shen family members were chasing a woman.
This woman was also wearing clothes belonging to the Shen family, but judging from the shouts of the pursuers, she was not from the Shen family.
"She actually dared to pretend to be the Shen family and sneak into the Shen family's ship. This woman is so courageous!"
Some people probably guessed the cause of the incident and couldn't help but admire the courage of the woman who escaped.
But they felt more sympathy and pity in their hearts, because they knew that the woman would soon be caught by the Shen family and eventually drowned in the bottomless Tianshui River.
"Uncle of the Shen family, please help you stop her!"
"You bitch, Master Shen is calling you, why don't you stop quickly?"
Seven or eight martial arts people jumped out of the boat and stopped the woman who was running from the east bank to the west bank, hoping to please the Shen family.
"Anyone who stands in my way will die!" the woman threatened the martial arts practitioner who was blocking her.
She was in a hurry, because the Shen family behind her were chasing closely, and it would only take a moment to block her and she would be surrounded.
But the martial arts people who jumped out to intercept her were not afraid of her intimidation at all, because she was weak and looked easy to bully, and the Shen family was chasing after her, so they only needed to block her a little, and there was no need to fight her desperately.
brush!
Some people were holding knives, and some were holding swords. They attacked the woman from the left, front, and right, blocking the woman's escape path.
The woman suddenly turned around and rushed to the right. At the same time, she took out a green ax from the mustard seeds and struck at the two martial arts practitioners who intercepted her.
puff!
Blood splattered three feet.
The two martial arts men couldn't even block the woman's move. Their heads were dismembered on the spot, and their bodies fell into the Tianshui River to feed the fish.
The other interceptors were so frightened that they jumped away as if afraid of snakes and scorpions, not daring to step forward to stop him again.
However, the woman's ax had already slowed down her escape for a moment, just in time for the Shen family members who were chasing behind her to catch up and then surround her.
A fierce battle broke out immediately.
Nearby ships swerved to give way.
The martial arts people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait suddenly lost all sleep and walked out of the cabin to watch the battle.
On the ship where the gambling room was opened, the dealer immediately opened the handicap, attracting a large number of gamblers to place bets.
There are countless such emergencies that occur on the Tianshui River in a day, so the bosses of these gambling houses are already familiar with dealing with these emergencies.
puff!
A man from the Shen family was beheaded by a woman with an axe.
The faces of the spectators all showed expressions of shock. Just now, the woman's attack on two people with an ax had shocked them. They never expected that she could actually kill one person under the siege of the five stars of the Shen family. This was truly the moment.
Realizing that this seemingly weak woman is not simple at all.
"You bitch, you are looking for death!"
The Shen family was furious, but the four of them could not take the woman down for a while.
"waste!"
A scolding was heard from the Shen family's boat on the east side of the river, and a figure rushed out with the sound. The man was extremely fast and in the blink of an eye he crossed the river and jumped in front of the woman.
Then he opened the five fingers of his right hand and grabbed the woman.
The woman felt the pressure from the man and did not dare to be careless, so she faced him with all her strength.
when!
The ax blade struck into the man's hand, as if it were hitting a hard rock, making a loud impact. Then the man grabbed the ax blade with five fingers.
