Before the grand event was held, the Tiehe Valley in Tiecu Mansion was deserted, and the Round Tower with nine books in the center was even less popular. There were eight towering statues left alone, standing in all directions of the Round Tower.

The bright moon in the sky is quiet.

The silver-white moonlight shone on the statues and old bluestone floor tiles. There were no lights or fires in the huge round building, so naturally there was no one.

But as a gust of fragrance blows from the north and falls on a statue of a woman, a sound sounds in the empty and lonely round building:

"I've said that I won't get involved in your affairs, so why do you call me here? You don't take it seriously..."

The words were impatient and laziness after being drunk, so that the face of the statue seemed to show a bit of redness under the moonlight.

In the square in the center of the round building, there are only reflections cast by eight statues. The statues remain motionless, but the shadows on the ground seem to come alive, and even traces of the fluttering of the robe and long hair can be seen vaguely.

A statue next to the Lord Peach Blossom Lord is Chen Chaoli, who heard the words of Lord Peach Blossom Lord and said:

"After the covenant has been concluded, we must act according to the agreement, which is related to the overall situation of the nine sects. The eight lords must be present; you can not listen or speak, but you must not come."

The nine sects form an alliance with each other, and it is normal for only once every ten years, but this is not a rigid rule. If there is any emergency, the leaders of each sect will gather in private to discuss countermeasures, such as now.

The Lord of Peach Blossoms knew the rules of the Nine Sects, but because the three elders ignored their old love a few days ago, she felt angry and complained casually.

The Lord of Peach Blossoms has never appeared in such an occasion for hundreds of years. I know what I’m talking about today is more important, so I didn’t make jokes anymore, and asked:

"Is there anything big of a deal that calls everyone here today? Hua Junzhou is lost?"

The round building is in Tiecu Mansion, and the statue of Shangguan Laozu is naturally ranked as the master. She ignored the Lord of Peach Blossoms and spoke in an ethereal voice:

"Everyone is here, let's start."

After Chen Chaoli calmed down, he said:

"In recent years, strange incidents have occurred frequently in Yuyaozhou, and there have been consecutive high-level cultivators defecting, and there are less than ten this year alone. The Youying alien race has entered the nine sects to recruit subordinates, as if they have entered a state of no one. Only after the building is empty will we realize it...

"... Last year, a surprise attack on the deserted mountain and snatched the Demon God's Pill; this year, Mei Jinshui, one of the four saints of Youying, even came to Yuyaozhou to "remind the past" with us. In this case, it is not impossible for us to discover that someone between us is the leader of a different race next year...

"The immortals in Huajunzhou and Nanyuzhou have already become suspicious of us. The ports facing Yuyaozhou all arranged people to patrol the cultivators. Qiu Fengqing's daughter returned to the sect and was questioned by Yingyang Immortal Palace..."

Kind of awesome...

After listening to this for a long time, Old Ancestor Shangguan felt that these words were too long-winded and said directly:

"Yu Yaozhou has been penetrated by alien races into a sieve. It is difficult for everyone under the Lord to escape the suspicion of those who are interested. If you can do this, you must be in a high position, and it is likely that it is between the eight of us."

In fact, since the thief was robbed from the barren mountain, the eight lords have all had this speculation and have also used iron-fisted methods to check it out, but only a few small characters were found, and nothing else was found.

Seeing that the three elders suspected the people present, the five later lords naturally felt nervous.

The nervousness is not because of being a thief, but because of the style of Shangguan’s ancestor’s behavior. If you can’t find a traitor, Shangguan’s ancestor will rather kill the wrong person and not let them go. They may be able to show their ambitions if they die.

The Lord of Peach Blossoms and Mei Jinshui had a close relationship. A few days ago, she openly sang a counter-tune to protect Mei Jinshui, so the suspect was naturally the most. She knew the severity of the matter and explained:

"You won't doubt me, do you know me? I never get involved in the affairs of the nine sects. All the affairs of the sect are handed over to my disciples. I drink wine at home every day, so how can I be so unfaithful to the insider?"

Lord Di Yang of the Moon, then said:

"I am responsible for the land channel of Yuyaozhou. I know all the monks who come and go, but the important monks in the nine sects go out to do business. Who does the public ferry? The private ferry formation is manufactured by Fulongshan. It can really be tracked, and the problem should not be caused by me."

Wanghai Lord Wen Yeting said:

"I'm also a boatman, and I don't have my territory in the inland."

Yunshui Jiantan Li Jianyang Dao:

"I didn't even have to run a boat, so I just sold a few low-quality flying swords. The audience was not at the top. Even if I hooked up with the Youying alien race, it wouldn't cause any storm."

The Lord Qiu Boyue of the Barren Mountain: "..."

In fact, among the eight people present, it is difficult to clear the suspicion of the Lord of the Wild Mountain, because the stealing pill was robbed from under his nose, and the mistake was too big.

However, the Lord of the Wild Mountain has not been at fault in previous years. As a swordsman, everyone knows that he did not escape after stealing the pill. He stayed there and risked being killed to warn the monkey and was under review. It was inappropriate to characterize it as a traitor.

The ancestor Shangguan was indeed decisive in killing, but there were only a few strong men from the nine sects. He would rather kill the wrong ones than let go, and he would cut his arms. If this was the plan of the Youying clan's disagreement, then she would be just right. Therefore, no matter how ruthless she said, she would not make a decision without real evidence.

After a group of people clarified themselves, things were like returning to the starting point and nothing was discussed.

The emperor ordered the lord Shangzhao, and saw that everyone was silent, he spoke:

"No matter whether there is any internal response between the eight of us, we will have to be more careful in the future. The Youying alien race has been very disturbing in recent years. Not only do we rob the power of the gods and gods everywhere, but we also have signs of marching into Nanyuzhou...

"...If Nanyuzhou falls into the hands of a foreign race again, the nine provinces in the world will fall more than half. Huajunzhou does not want to sit idly by and watch it grow stronger. Recently, people will gather people to attack Posa City again. The Nine Sects still have the strength to stand by and watch, so you need to send thousands of disciples to Posa City to help. Do you have any objections?"

If you cross continental assistance and eliminate foreign races, you must at least be able to use swords, otherwise you would die in the past; if you send a thousand disciples, you will draw a thousand young backbones who are on the eighth level of Linggu.

The nine major sects have a profound foundation, so people can definitely get it together, but after sending it over, it is hard to say how much people can come back alive. No matter how big the sect is, it cannot withstand such troubles. The other five lords naturally have objections.

The Lord of Qingdu, Li Jianyang, is a swordsman, and the disciples of Yunshui Sword Pond are also swordsman. The disciples of half a step Youhuang are the backbone laborers who cast flying swords in batches. Drawing a thousand people away is equivalent to casting tens of thousands of flying swords a year. If you convert them into immortal coins, even the Lord will feel pain. He spoke first, hoping that there will be fewer places.

The same is true for the Lord of Peach Blossom, she said a little dissatisfied:

"My disciples in Taohuatan are all farmers who farm. How can I treat you martial arts practitioners equally? Even if I send a thousand disciples out, what can I do? Farming on the battlefield?"

"This dead woman..."

While the Peach Blossom Lord was speaking with a decisive debate, a whisper suddenly sounded among the eight people.

The tone sounded annoyed, and the person who cursed was the old ancestor Shangguan, who had always been serious.

?!

All the Lords are quiet.

The Lord of Peach Blossom was stunned for a moment, and then furious:

"Shangguan Yutang, who are you scolding? I have been discussing things seriously on the official occasion and offended you. My disciple from Taohuatan is a farmer, and you want to go to war. The disciple has used up magic weapons and pills outside. Are you going to ask the Youying aliens if they can borrow materials?"

The young ancestor Shangguan said, "I didn't reply to the Lord of Peach Blossoms." After a moment of silence, he spoke:

"I think you are too long-winded. The responsibilities of each sect are different, so the arrangements will naturally not be the same. Medicine King Tower, Taohuatan, and Tiandi City can use the sect output to offset the quota, but the manpower cannot be less than 300, so as to avoid the lack of doctors and pharmacists in wartime."

"No, why did I talk too much? The request was raised by Shang Zhao. I said there was a problem with the difficulties? Old Chen talked so much nonsense, why didn't you call him a 'stinky nose'?"

"Cui Yingying, please pay attention to the occasion."

"What occasion should I pay attention to? If I don't come, you will bring me. When I come, I will scold me. Why are you not relying on your seniority?"

“…”

...

------

The deserted mountain, the divine fire cave heaven.

The boundless flames are like a red ocean, and the huge black shield protected by formations is like a small boat in the ocean.

Jiang Yi and Leng Zhu kept in the same posture, sat cross-legged on the jade cushion, closing their eyes to refine the surging spiritual energy of the world in the cave.

In front of the two, a tall woman in a golden dragon scale dress was sitting on it, with her hands flat on her knees, and was wandering thousands of miles away.

Originally, the cave heaven was extremely quiet, and all three of them were in a state of meditation and had no movement.

But Leng Zhu, who had the shallowest cultivation, found that the breath in front seemed to be not right - to be precise, she felt the breath of Shangguan Laozu.

Leng Zhu just touched Linggu's butt, and there were probably hundreds of Zuo Lingquans missing from Old Ancestor Shangguan. Even if Old Ancestor Shangguan stood in front of her, she could not feel any fluctuations in her breath.

But at this moment, Leng Zhu found that the ancestor Shangguan was breathing a little heavy, and he could even hear a slight panting.

“Hu~~Hu~~~”

Leng Zhu thought she had heard it wrong, so she quietly opened her eyes and plucked the courage to look.

As a result, this look is amazing!

The old ancestor Shangguan's white cheeks seemed to be red with fire.

The cultivation level of the Guan Laozu could kill them even if he breathed a sigh of relief. Leng Zhu was naturally frightened and quickly shook Jiang Yi's shoulder:

"Princess, princess..."

Jiang Yi slowly came back to her senses, opened her eyes and saw this scene, and was stunned.

She didn't dare to disturb Shangguan's ancestor rashly, so she could only ask in a low voice:

"What's wrong with the ancestor?"

"I don't know, will it be...whether it's because of the fault of the exercise?"

"It doesn't look like it, it looks a bit like... like..."

Jiang Yi dare not say it!

Fortunately, the two of them were nervous not long after, and the ancestor Shangguan in front of them took back their minds.

The moment the ancestor Shangguan's eyelashes moved slightly, her face had already returned to its original state. She opened her eyes and revealed her eyes with the sun and moon in her mouth. She looked back at the two of them:

"If you don't meditate properly, why are you chatting?"

!!

The ancestor Shangguan became serious. Even if he was not happy or angry, his eyes that looked down on the people could still scare people.

Jiang Yi and Leng Zhu's faces turned pale, and they nodded quickly to admit their mistakes, then sat cross-legged and closed their eyes, just pretending that they had seen nothing just now.

But before the two of them could re-enter the meditation, they heard a woman's scolding from outside the Divine Fire Cave Heaven:
To be continued...
