"Thank you!" Ling Hao smiled faintly and said, "How is the situation?"
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, from early this morning until now, twenty or thirty waves of people have entered Dao Town." Zheng Jianzhou responded.
"The number of people in each wave ranges from a dozen to dozens. Most of them should come to celebrate Dao Lao's birthday."
"Is there any suspicious person?" Lu Yue asked.
"Yes!" Zheng Jianzhou nodded. "Two waves of people should be the target people. They don't look like they are here to congratulate!"
"Because we were worried about being discovered by the other party, we didn't dare to get too close."
"However, it can be seen from the auras of the people on the other side that their skills are not weak."
"Especially the leaders of the two waves of troops. Looking at their posture, they are definitely above the late War Emperor level!"
"As expected!" Ling Hao nodded slightly, "Where is he now?"
"We went up the mountain twenty minutes ago!" Zheng Jianzhou raised his finger and pointed at a mountain peak not far away and said, "I asked the brothers below to follow."
"Yeah!" Ling Hao nodded again and continued.
"You ask the brothers in the town to cheer up and continue to patrol the town. If you find any suspicious characters, don't act rashly for the time being. Just keep an eye on them."
"Received!" Zheng Jianzhou responded loudly.
After the two continued chatting for a while, Qinglong came over.
"Brother!" Qinglong walked up and said hello to Lu Yue and the others.
"Boss Qinglong, how long have you been here?" Xuan Pang looked at Qinglong and asked.
"No!" Qinglong shook his head and said, "I just arrived a while ago and walked around the town casually."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Ling Hao again, "Brother, let's go up the mountain? I just made a phone call with Yunfei, and the banquet will start in more than an hour."
"Yeah! Let's go!" Ling Hao nodded and led a few people towards the west direction of the town.
The mountain where Daozong is located is located in the western suburbs of Daozhen
, with an altitude of three to four thousand meters, the Dao Sect's sect compound is located on the top of the mountain, covering a vast area, two or three times larger than the original Zixia Sect.
While Ling Hao and others were on their way, the courtyard of Dao Zong's gate was already decorated with lights and colorful, and it was very lively.
Today is Dao Lao's eightieth birthday. The purpose of holding this banquet is, on the one hand, to bring people from his sect together to have a lively atmosphere.
On the other hand, it is also for an opportunity to communicate with some aristocratic families and sects.
Dao Lao will hold a birthday banquet every three years, and many aristocratic families and sects will take this opportunity to send some outstanding disciples to Dao Sect to practice martial arts.
Around five o'clock in the afternoon, guests who came to celebrate their birthdays entered the sect's courtyard one after another. Dao Ming, the second elder of the Dao Sect, led a group of people to receive them at the entrance of the courtyard.
At this moment, Dao Yunfei was sitting on the sofa in his room, staring ahead and deep in thought.
He himself is not a person who likes to join in the fun, and because he has something on his mind, he is even less willing to go out to socialize.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and then Dao Qing, the second master of Dao Zong, was seen leading a group of people in with a smile.
Walking side by side with him was a middle-aged man in his fifties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a faint smile on his face.
Following them were two men and women, one old and one young.
The old man's face was expressionless, his eyes were sharp, and his aura was lingering around him. At first glance, he was no ordinary warrior.
The woman was in her mid-twenties, with delicate features, a tall figure, and a naturally arrogant expression on her face. It could be seen from the aura on her body that she was also a warrior.
Behind the four people were several attendants, all dressed in Taoist robes.
"Yunfei
, your Uncle An and Miss An are here." After the group entered the house, Dao Qing looked at Dao Yunfei and smiled.
"Huh?" Dao Yunfei looked at the other party for a moment, then stood up and said hello, "Uncle An, hello!"
He didn't expect that the other party would come this time.
The An family is a typical ancient martial arts family with considerable influence in the southwest region. Although its overall strength is slightly inferior to that of the Dao Sect, it can still be regarded as a first-rate force in the ancient martial arts world.
The father of the An family and Mr. Dao have been friends for decades, so the An family and the Dao clan can be regarded as family friends, and there are frequent contacts between the two parties.
However, since the An family's old man passed away due to illness a few years ago, the An family seems to have deliberately kept a distance from the Dao Sect, and has rarely taken the initiative to interact with the Dao Sect in recent years.
According to Dao Yunfei's understanding, the An family seems to be close to one of the superpowers in the ancient martial arts world. In the past two years, the family's strength has improved significantly.
"Haha, we haven't seen each other for a few years. Yunfei has turned into a handsome young man. I almost didn't recognize him!" A middle-aged man named An Hongyuan looked at Dao Yunfei and said with a smile.
"Uncle An is laughing!" Dao Yunfei smiled and responded... .??.
"Brother An, don't talk about Yunfei. Look at Miss An. We haven't seen her for several years and she has become a tall and graceful young lady." Dao Qing also smiled.
"Haha, that's true!" An Hongyuan smiled again and looked at Dao Yunfei.
"Yunfei, do you still know Xiaofeng? You two often played together when you were young. At that time, she would follow you around and call you Brother Yunfei all day long."
"Dad!" The woman named An Xiaofeng frowned slightly, then turned to look at Dao Yunfei and smiled faintly, "Hello, Mr. Dao, long time no see!"
"Hello, Miss An!" Dao Yunfei smiled back.
"Brother An, don't stand around, sit down and chat!" Dao Qing then smiled and said.
"Haha, okay!" After finishing speaking, An Hongyuan led his daughter to sit down on the sofa.
The old man stood at the door with his entourage behind him.
"Yunfei, I heard that you are now serving as a young minister in the Capital Special Patrol Department?" After a few people sat down, An Hongyuan looked at Dao Yunfei and said with a smile.
"Yes!" Dao Yunfei nodded in response and poured a cup of tea for several people.
"As expected of Dao Lao's direct grandson, he is young and promising and has a bright future!" An Hongyuan picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"Uncle An was so complimentary, it's just a job." Dao Yunfei responded.
"Haha, Yunfei is being humble, not everyone can do this job." An Hongyuan continued to laugh.
"Although there are many geniuses in the ancient martial arts world, not many of them can serve in a special government office like the Special Patrol Department, let alone you are already a young minister."
"Given time, that will be the position of Supreme Minister, a truly important minister of the country!"
"Haha, Brother An, please stop flattering Yunfei. I don't know how long he can stay in that position. He might be driven back at some point." Dao Qing said with a smile.
"Brother Dao is joking, I am very optimistic about Yunfei!" An Hongyuan responded with a smile.
"Master Dao, I heard that you have reached the middle to late stage of the War Emperor?" At this time, An Xiaofeng looked at Dao Yunfei and said.
"Haha, that's right!" Dao Yunfei responded after being stunned for a moment.
In the middle and late stages of War Emperor, that was his cultivation level before going to the capital city. Now he has already reached the level of Emperor Realm!
When he mentioned this, he thought it was incredible when he thought about it. In just a few months, he had almost reached a great level, and it was a breakthrough from War Emperor to War Emperor!
This is the benefit of following the eldest brother. Otherwise, if he had stayed with Dao Zong all the time, it would have been great to have been able to break through to the consummation of the War Emperor!
"That's not bad, and can be compared with some ordinary geniuses in the ancient martial arts world!" An Xiaofeng said with a half-smile.
