Chapter 424(1/2)
The Grand Master Hall of the Heavenly Master Mansion!
Su Chen walked in tremblingly, and he would be trembling, not only because there was a saint inside, but more importantly, he felt that he was going to be cheated.
When he entered the hall, Su Chen's eyes fell on an old Taoist priest who was kneeling in front of the statue of the ancestor of the hall. When the old Taoist priest turned around and saw the other person's appearance clearly, Su Chen's eyes were filled with surprise.
He has seen this old Taoist priest, the senior brother of Zhang Guangkun, the contemporary Zhang Tianshi Master, who is of high profession but has an average strength in the Tianshi Mansion.
"Thank you for not taking grudges and being willing to take action for my Tianshi Mansion. I am very grateful to you."
Taoist Priest Qingyun bowed to Su Chen, but Su Chen was stunned. Although he had a premonition that he would be cheated, what the hell was thanking him for taking action?
When will I take action on the Tianshi Mansion?
I have a grudge with the Tianshi Mansion. It would be great if I didn’t watch jokes behind my back. Take action? That was something I never thought about.
"Senior, you don't understand what you said."
Taoist Master Qingyun was expecting Su Chen's reaction and smiled slightly and said, "My friend, who do you think the saint in my Tianshi Mansion will be?"
"The saint of the Tianshi Mansion?"
Su Chen had already looked at the entire ancestor's hall before, but there was no one here except Taoist Qingyun. With the strength of a saint, he was not surprised even if he stood in front of him and was not discovered by himself, but the premise was that the saint would do this.
The saint from the Tianshi Mansion has already revealed his existence to the outside world, and now he lets himself in again, so there is no reason to hide or not appear in front of him.
"Is it the senior?"
Looking at Taoist Master Qingyun with a smile on his face, Su Chen's pupils shrank. Taoist Master Qingyun was Zhang Guangkun's senior brother, and he was only a hundred years old. Now there is only Taoist Master Qingyun in the hall. If there is a saint, it is Taoist Master Qingyun.
A saint who is less than a hundred years old, except for a few who became saints through merit, others who became saints through cultivation are all over the age of over a hundred years old.
"Boy Su Chen has met the saint."
This is a rule when meeting a saint is to be respected, because a saint represents being recognized by this law of heaven and earth. Disrespect to the saint means disrespect to the heaven and earth.
Of course, if there are grudges, then don’t be confused. The law of cause and effect in this world is the highest.
"Young friend doesn't have to salute me, I'm not a saint."
Taoist Master Qingyun waved his hand, and after seeing Su Chen's puzzled eyes, he sighed slightly and said, "In fact, this is a bureau that has been arranged since the five cities appeared. In addition to my Tianshi Mansion, you Dao Alliance and other forces have also participated."
"Layout? The bureau targeting the five cities?" Su Chen was not stupid, and he thought of the key point in an instant.
"That's right, it's a bureau for five cities."
In Taoist Qingyun's story, Su Chen finally understood what was going on.
When the five cities appear, there will inevitably be a chaos in the metaphysics community, because since the people of the five cities have appeared, they must grab territory and compete for resources. In this case, a war between the five cities and the metaphysics community will inevitably be avoided.
But if the metaphysics and the five cities start a full war, it will be a huge disaster for the metaphysics, because the overall strength of the five cities is above the metaphysics. Therefore, the heads of major sects in the metaphysics and the clan leaders of the family had discussed the way to deal with it in private before this.
When the five cities appear, they must establish their authority. So who will the five cities choose?
After some speculations, these human spirits unanimously agreed that it was the most likely to find the Tianshi Mansion, because the Tianshi Mansion represents one of the orthodox Taoism and has too much influence in the metaphysics community.
If we can take down the Heavenly Master Mansion, it will be a heavy blow to the morale of the metaphysics community.
For the major senior leaders of the metaphysics community, what they need to do is not to make the five cities' plan successful, but they cannot directly help the Tianshi Mansion, because the consequence is that the two sides will go to a full war.
To fight, but to minimize the battle.
The thousand-year history of the battle between our ancestors tells everyone that only when the forces of both sides are balanced and when they are afraid of each other can the war between the two sides be controlled.
Just like the current Western United States and the Russians in the north, the two countries are constantly fighting, but they will never open fire in full force, because neither side can afford this consequence.
What the metaphysics community has to do is to make the people in the five cities afraid, so Taoist Qingyun was pushed out.
Taoist Master Qingyun is not a saint, but a semi-saint realm. This is also the reason why he does not show up. Once he shows up, the other party will see the realm.
With the strength of a semi-saint, it is naturally not difficult to deal with several eighteenth-grade strong men. But to make people in the five cities believe that there is a saint in the Heavenly Master Mansion, the difficulty lies in how to use the strength of a semi-saint to exert saint level power.
Finally, after a unified discussion with the senior officials of the Old Taoist Qingyun and some other forces, he decided to let Taoist Qingyun pretend to be a saint.
Taoist Qingyun was indeed not strong a few months ago, because Taoist Qingyun’s path of cultivation was different from other disciples of the Tianshi Mansion. Taoist Qingyun took the path of enlightenment.
Enlightenment from the Taoist scriptures.
After decades of research, one day realized the truth and became a semi-saint!
If you accumulate strength and achieve enlightenment with one move, you will be called Taoist Master Qingyun.
A semi-saint who is not known to the world is mainly not well-known to the people of the Five Cities. After all, the Five Cities have just appeared in the metaphysics world. Even if there has been a survey of the metaphysics world before, it will not investigate the old Taoist Qingyun.
You know, when Su Chen went to the Heavenly Master Mansion to cause trouble, the old Taoist Qingyun also came out, but his strength was extremely average, and many people in the metaphysics circles saw it at the scene.
Such a hidden semi-saint, combined with some special means, uses the power at the level of the saint, and makes the forces of the five cities afraid, is the purpose of Qingyun Laodao and others.
Are there saints in the five cities?
There must be an answer.
Taoist Master Qingyun and his friends also believed that it would be impossible to suppress the power of the five cities with just one saint, but there would definitely not be many saints in the five cities. According to their speculation, there would be only one conservative city.
Five cities are the collective name of five cities, and each city has many forces, and there are conflicts between these forces and it cannot be a monolithic part.
In addition, the old Taoist Qingyun and his friends have prepared other backup plans, that is, there are holy weapons appearing in the southwest direction, and the same is true in the East China Sea direction. The energy of the two holy weapons cannot be felt by ordinary people, and the saints can detect it.
The appearance of these two holy tools shows that even if the manipulator is not at the level of a saint, he has at least reached the semi-saint.
This is a message to the five cities. Since your five cities can unite, then our metaphysical forces can also unite together. A saint will at least two semi-saint-level existences. If you really want to fight hard, although the five cities will win, many forces may also be destroyed.
After the five cities have shown their strength in the metaphysics, they will naturally change their strategies. The best way is to not take action, and the saint in the five cities does do this.
But the saints of the Five Cities ignored human nature.
On the territory of a saint, if they want to kill other people's disciples, the strong men in the five cities can't let go, let alone this time it was a joint battle. Some strong men are not from the same power as the saint, and they have to worry about being killed by using a knife.
The result of not working hard is to change the strategy again!
The current situation of the United States and the Russians in the north on the sea is a good explanation. Neither side dares to fight completely. The best way is to let me take action, and it will be a younger brother who will not hurt his bones.
young people!
For the metaphysics and the five-city forces, the younger generation will not be hurtful when participating in the war, and it is acceptable to both sides.
"Senior, you are really imagining things."
After listening to Taoist Qingyun’s story, Su Chen took a deep breath, which was really terrifying.
The leader of the alliance and Taoist Qingyun and others calculated everything. The people of the five cities thought that everything was in their design, but they unknowingly followed the leader and their plan.
"Even if you expect it, it's useless. In the end, the competition depends on your strength."
Seeing the Taoist Master Qingyun looking at him, Su Chen reacted smartly and quickly said, "Senior, there are many young masters in our metaphysics world, who are better than me."
"There are geniuses in the metaphysics world, and there are also five cities. Don't underestimate the five cities. The five cities have a deeper foundation than the metaphysics world, and the younger generation is also extraordinary. Although this time, they will only select three young disciples from one city, they are comparable to the entire metaphysics world."
"Pick from a city?" Su Chen was a little surprised.
"Well, the forces that attacked my Tianshi Mansion this time mainly came from one city. Although the other four cities also made efforts, they only participated."
The five cities are very large, and each city has many forces. One Tianshi Mansion is not enough to give the power of one city. The other four cities are just to express the position of the five cities uniting.
But at the end of this critical moment, the forces that attacked the Tianshi Mansion naturally sent their disciples to fight, and the other four cities were just besieged.
"But you said too, senior, those two people can't win firmly, so I won't be able to do it. My strength is not even the opponent of those two."
"Young friend, don't belittle yourself. Your strength may be inferior to those two people on the surface, but you are not simple. There are things on your body that I can't see through. This is why Brother Qin will recommend you."
Taoist Master Qingyun looked at Su Chen meaningfully, and Su Chen curled his lips, and the leader sold himself.
"Senior, even if I agree, I will be the only one. You won't expect me to fight against the other three alone."
"I don't dare to think so."
When Su Chen heard Taoist Qingyun's words for some reason, he always felt that this answer seemed to be scolding him.
"In addition to you, there will naturally be two more people. The old Taoist will arrange the friend to the last one, and win two games in three games. If I lose all the first two games in the Tianshi Mansion, then my Tianshi Mansion will be so destined, so my friend will not have to take action again."
In the three battles, they naturally used two wins in three games. Su Chen was a little confused. As for the current situation in the Tianshi Mansion, can there be young geniuses participate in the battle?
Or did you find two other foreign players like me?
Just when Su Chen was confused, another person came out from behind the hall. Seeing the man carrying a long sword, Su Chen understood.
Yes, the Supreme Elder of Qingcheng Mountain has arrived, and has set up such a plan. As the most outstanding genius Liang Tie, the younger generation of Qingcheng Mountain, has not come.
Although Liang Tie has seen his strength, he is definitely far beyond his peers.
When Liang Tie saw Su Chen, his eyes flashed with surprise. Su Chen was familiar with him, so he was naturally familiar with Su Chen. He also had investigated the Qilin son of the Taoist Alliance, who had been popular in the metaphysics world recently.
When he entered the secret realm of the Three Immortals, the elders of the master sect specifically told him to be careful of this person.
The reason for being careful is very simple, this person is a bit weird.
In terms of strength, this person may not even be considered the top ten among the younger generations in the metaphysics world, but this person is very strange. This is what his master elders told him.
"Brother, we're meeting again."
Su Chen showed a bright smile on his face, and Liang Tie nodded at Su Chen. He was a little withdrawn and Su Chen didn't care.
"Two friends, I'll bother you this time. If the Tianshi Mansion overcomes this difficulty, the old Taoist will be grateful and I will thank you very much at that time."
Taoist Master Qingyun's words made Su Chen understand that this time he would have benefited from going to the battle. I think the leader should have negotiated with the Tianshi Mansion. It should be more than just verbal thanks.
