Time passed slowly and two years went by in a flash.
The Xingyun Pavilion is becoming more and more powerful. Yao Chen, a ninth-grade alchemist at the Dou Sheng level, is known as a golden signboard and continues to attract people with lofty ideals to join. Today, the Xingyun Pavilion has become a top force after the Soul Palace and the Dan Tower.
This is without taking into account the forces of Danta, Tianyaohuang, Taixu Ancient Dragon and others. Otherwise, the title of Soul Palace Continent's number one force would have been lost!
"Old man, have you seen the list of Saint Sect Central Province forces that I drafted?"
In the Xingyun Pavilion, Feng Xian looked at Yao Chen and said in a deep voice: "The whereabouts of the Soul Palace have become more and more mysterious recently. We have a huge hatred with them. Who knows, those sinister guys may be preparing some killer moves for us."
"The existence of the Soul Palace is indeed a problem. As for the list you drew up... can those forces really join our Holy Sect?"
"Well, it is rumored that the Sect Master helped the Lord of Burning Flame Valley in the ancient ruins, so he has some connection with us. Besides, you still remember that old guy. Wasn't he injured? It will definitely not be a problem for you to refine a pill for him and then bring him into our Saint Sect."
"The cooperation between Hua Sect and Tianming Sect has caused great damage to the strength of the entire sect. The two sides are about to split up. The two great elders of Hua Sect who have not appeared in many years are your old lovers. It should be no problem for you to sacrifice your looks and bring them over."
"Besides that, there is..."
Feng Xian counted them one by one with good reasoning. Yao Chen sometimes nodded and sometimes shook his head. The more he listened, the weirder the expression on his face became.
"Why do I feel like you are just using me as bait to fish?"
"Nonsense, a ninth-grade alchemist with Dou Sheng strength, I don't need you to attract people. Do you want me, an old Dou Zun-level person, to go?" Feng Xian rolled his eyes at Yao Chen unhappily: "I was counting on myself to be a golden signboard, but people don't think highly of me at all, what can I do?"
"…"
Yao Chen looked at Feng Xian helplessly and sighed, "Alright, try to contact them. If you can bring them in, then it won't be a problem to completely spread the name of the Holy Sect in Zhongzhou."
"Okay, I'll go and give it a try. You and the Sect Master are both ninth-grade alchemists at the Dousheng level. I don't believe they won't come!"
Feng Xian did what he said. That afternoon, he asked the strong men in the sect to deliver the two letters to Hua Sect and Fenyan Valley as quickly as possible.
…
In the Hua Sect, there was a large hall filled with the faint scent of flowers. Although the hall was spacious, it seemed quite empty. There were only a few people sitting quietly in it. Among these people, Yun Yun was also there. However, she, the leader of the Hua Sect, was not sitting in the first seat. Therefore, there were already two figures sitting there.
The two figures were dressed in light yellow clothes. They did not look old and their skin was even smooth. Although there were some shallow crow's feet at the corners of their eyebrows, they looked somewhat special. Below them sat the elders of the Hua Sect, but at this moment, they looked respectful as they faced these two people who looked much younger than them.
"Great Elder, what do you think about this?" Silence lasted for a moment in the hall. The woman on the first seat suddenly raised her eyes, looked at an old woman below, and said lightly, at this moment, in front of her, there was a scroll with the special emblem of Xingyun Pavilion on it.
In response to the woman's question, the great elder hesitated for a moment and said respectfully, "Grand Elder, the Xingyu Pavilion is no longer what it used to be. Their strength is probably not even comparable to our Hua Sect. However, even so, there is still some gap between them and the Soul Palace. Now the Soul Palace and the Xingyu Pavilion are incompatible. If we agree to the alliance, we will inevitably stand on the opposite side of the Soul Palace, which is also quite dangerous."
Hearing this, the woman in yellow nodded slightly and said, "I never expected that Yao Chen not only survived, but also broke through to the realm of Dou Sheng and ninth-grade alchemist. The most terrifying thing is that their sect leader Lin Ran is only in his twenties, but he has also reached this realm. This level of strength is indeed above that of the Flower Sect. But the Soul Palace..."
"Grand Elder, although the alliance has risks, it also has great benefits for the Hua Sect. The two Grand Elders have also seen the alliance between the Hua Sect and the Tianming Sect. Apart from the oppression of our Hua Sect, we have no benefit at all."
"During this trip to the ancient Bodhi tree, even the sect leader Hua Jin died in the mouth of a ferocious beast, which basically announced the breakdown of our cooperation with the Tianming Sect. If we can really form an alliance with the Xingyun Pavilion at this moment, then the reputation of the Hua Sect will undoubtedly reach its peak."
Hua Yun, the acting clan leader after Hua Jin, was silent for a moment, and finally spoke softly,
"The Tianming Sect is really disappointing. I thought that the old demon Tianming was a high-level semi-saint, but I didn't expect that the two sides would unite and it would turn out like this..." The woman in yellow looked a little gloomy: "Now that the Xingyun Pavilion is so powerful, if there is no coercion from the Soul Palace, it doesn't matter if we directly surrender to them. But the problem lies with the Soul Palace."
The title of the first sect power in the Soul Palace Continent was not a rhyme like "one palace, one tower, two sects, three valleys, four square pavilions", but was earned by countless Soul Palace guardians and elders!
The risk of being an enemy of them is too great!
However, if we don't seize the cooperation opportunity offered by Xingyun Pavilion at this moment, then if we want to cooperate in the future, I'm afraid...
"Forget it, let Big Sister make the decision on this matter!"
The woman in yellow took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice, while looking at the woman beside her who had not said a word from beginning to end.
Hearing her say this, all eyes were focused on the woman with a somewhat cold expression on the side.
Under the gazes of so many people, the cold-faced woman raised her eyebrows, and then a plain and brief voice came out of her mouth: "Alliance, deal with the Soul Palace!"
Hearing him say this, everyone present looked at each other, and although they were a little hesitant, they finally nodded.
However, the woman in yellow couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh and smiled bitterly.
"I knew you would make this choice... Back then, for that old guy, you even dared to contradict your master, but you also know that the old guy doesn't care about these things at all."
"Our position in his heart is far inferior to that old woman Danta."
Such words made many elders in the hall look at each other sideways, but the cold woman still had no reaction.
Helpless, the woman in yellow could only wave her hand indifferently: "Forget it, forget it, since the eldest sister has made the decision, then I will reply to the people of Xingyun Pavilion like this."
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, the elders immediately responded respectfully.
…
Burning Flame Valley.
"Alliance? To deal with the Soul Palace? Those half-human, half-ghost creatures are disgusting, but who would go against them? No, let them go!"
Deep in the Burning Flame Valley, in a quiet bamboo forest, an old man with fiery red hair slammed the scroll in his hand heavily on the stone table and said impatiently.
Seeing his reaction, Tang Zhen and Tang Huoer in front of the stone table both smiled bitterly. This old guy has lived for so many years, but his temper is still so hot.
"Ahem…"
After a fit of anger, the old man coughed violently a few times and his face turned even redder. Seeing this, Tang Huoer, who was standing by, hurried over and patted him on the back.
"Huo'er is still the best..."
After being patted by Tang Huo'er's jade hands for a while, the red-haired old man looked better. He glanced at the scroll on the table and suddenly said, "Is Lin Ran from Xingyun Pavilion a Dou Sheng? He shouldn't be too old, right? If he looks okay, let him marry Huo'er, and I will agree to the alliance."
"Bang!"
Tang Huo'er, who was just patting the red-haired old man's back, blushed when she heard this. She slapped the old man's back with her jade hand and said angrily, "Old man, if you keep talking nonsense, be careful that no one will see you off to the grave!"
"Hey, Huo'er, don't be rude..." Tang Zhen coughed and said.
"To be able to achieve such an achievement at such an age is enough to show how outstanding Lin Ran is. Moreover, it can make both of you prefer him. It is obvious that this person makes both of you feel some favor towards him. It is not easy to meet these two conditions." The red-haired old man smiled strangely.
Huo'er rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to the old guy, turned around and sat aside.
"In fact, we didn't have much contact with Xingyun Pavilion and Lin Ran. To be honest, we only met once in the ruins. It's just that the boy's name is too famous."
Tang Zhen shook his head helplessly: "But ancestor, they said that if you agree to the alliance, they can solve the hidden dangers in your body."
"oh?"
Hearing this, the red-haired old man raised his eyebrows, sat lazily on the stone chair, picked up a fruit from the stone table, took a bite, and said, "What if you don't agree?"
"Don't agree? Yao Chen said that he will also help you expel the hidden dangers in your body, but you have to pay for the medicine."
Tang Zhen smiled.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Crack!"
The red-haired old man's mouth froze for a moment, then he threw it away expressionlessly. After a moment of silence, he said calmly, "That old fellow Yao Chen is still as stubborn as ever... By the way, Yao Chen has achieved a breakthrough to become a Dou Sheng and a ninth-grade alchemist. Is that Lin Ran also at the same level?"
"Yes, two Doushengs in one sect, both of them are ninth rank."
Tang Zhen nodded and asked in a low voice: "What does the ancestor mean?"
"Alliance..."
The red-haired old man stood up from the stone chair and suddenly stretched lazily. A terrifying aura slowly spread out from his body and rippled in the space.
"I haven't shown up for many years. I wonder if anyone on this continent still remembers my name, Ancestor Huoyun?"
…
"Have both Hua Zong and Fen Yan Valley agreed to the alliance?"
In the main hall of Xingyun Pavilion, Feng Xian heard the reports from the two elders in front of him and stood up abruptly, his face filled with joy.
"Haha, Hua Zong and Fen Yan Valley have both given us clear responses, but the specific matters may still need to be discussed in detail." The elder of Xingyun Pavilion said with a smile.
Hearing what he said, Feng Xian could no longer suppress the smile on his face, and said to Yao Chen with a smug look on his face.
"See, old man, I told you that with you and the Sect Master here, there will be no problem!"
All things are difficult at the beginning. With this good start, things will be much easier in the future. Hua Zong and Fen Yan Valley both have a strong reputation in Zhongzhou. Their joining will undoubtedly increase the momentum of Xingyun Pavilion again and attract countless people to join it again.
"You are really..."
"But the smoothness of this matter was somewhat beyond my expectations."
Yao Chen stroked his beard and smiled, saying that the Soul Palace was not an ordinary force after all, and it would take a lot of courage to stand against them.
"But when can we meet with the two sects to discuss the details of the alliance?" Feng Xian laughed.
"There is no rush for this matter. Although we have dealt with the Hua Sect and the Fenyan Valley, this is not enough. If we want to compete with the Soul Palace, we must completely pull Danta in. Otherwise... there will still be many difficulties." Yao Chen shook his head slowly and said.
Although Xingyun Pavilion has now established a cooperative relationship with Danta, that relationship is private and only with the Danta outside, not the small Danta.
If Xiao Danta agrees, then Danta will completely expose this hidden cooperative relationship, and the cooperative relationship between the two parties will not only be limited to the delivery of elixirs, but can even have deeper cooperation.
For example...
Join forces against the enemy!
"You and the sect master are both ninth-grade alchemists and fighting saints now. Don't you have a say?" Feng Xian's joy gradually faded away, and he said with a frown.
"It's hard to say. The key is to talk to that old guy. The main thing is that we may not be able to meet him." Yao Chen shook his head: "You should have heard about the old guy's habits. If you want to meet him, I don't know how long I have to wait..."
"…"
Feng Xian also showed a helpless look. He had heard a little about the hobby of Patriarch Danta, but when he thought of his identity, everything made sense.
"I don't know when the sect master will come out of seclusion. When that time comes..."
"boom!"
As he was speaking, the entire Xingyun Pavilion suddenly shook, and the tea in the cup beside Feng Xian spilled out, wetting the table.
However, Yao Chen and Feng Xian didn't care at all. Instead, they looked at each other suddenly, and at the same time turned into a stream of light and flew out of the hall quickly.
The next moment, the two of them appeared in a stone chamber.
Although the stone chamber was still tightly closed, both Yao Chen and Feng Xian could feel an extremely terrifying aura at this moment, just like a sleeping dragon slowly waking up.
"This breath is!"
A colorful figure cut through the sky and soon arrived.
Feeling the breath in the stone chamber, Cai Lin's face was full of surprise: "Finally... are you going to come out, A'ran..."
