Immortality begins with the sword of ignorance

Beiyuan Prefecture, Yunxiao Sect.

At this moment, the sect was still extremely lively.

A large number of casual cultivators and small family cultivators were recruited by Yunxiao Sect and gathered here.

They are about to go to the lower world to fight against the demon monks.

At the same time, the foundation building ceremony ceremony held to boost morale was also postponed.

Its postponement is also related to Zhong Cang.

The sect originally wanted to broadcast Zhong Cang's challenge of blocking the door while conferring honors.

Fighting like this can not only demonstrate the power of the Yunxiao Sect, but also greatly boost the morale of the inner and outer disciples as well as the casual cultivators. It can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

However, the sect thought very well, but they did not expect that after Zhong Cang agreed, he would stay in seclusion for more than ten days.

And this also caused the Jindan elders who presided over this matter to murmur.

"What is Zhong Cang doing? Are you no longer timid?"

"There are huge risks in blocking the door and inviting a fight. If you don't challenge, it doesn't matter. But if that little guy doesn't challenge, you should tell us. Isn't it a waste of time to wait like this now!"

Many people were dissatisfied with Zhong Cang's direct retreat.

Others looked at Tao Juran and Tao Zhenren who were standing above them.

"Junior Brother Tao, why don't we wait for that little guy and just hold the Foundation Establishment Ceremony directly? Putting it off like this is just a waste of time."

This kind of suggestion made Tao actually open his eyes.

He also didn't understand Zhong Cang's behavior of retreating halfway.

However, he did not listen to the advice of the Jindan elder, but said calmly:

"There's no rush. Zhou Cang and Yue Qianqian have just established their foundations. They need to consolidate their cultivation in the sect for a period of time. It's okay to wait for a while. As for those casual cultivators and those from small sects, they also need training in the sect. For a period of time, otherwise, you will go in in a mess and just deliver materials to the Demon Sect.”

"How long does it take to wait?"

"Nine days."

Everyone frowned when they heard this time. They knew that their senior brother still had hope for Zhong Cang.

However, Tao Juran was ultimately responsible for this matter, and since he was the disciple of the sect master, all the Jindan elders were willing to give him some face, so everyone still recognized the matter.

And just when everyone agreed, a figure dressed as a Taoist boy suddenly ran in from outside in a hurry.

"Elder, it's bad, people from the Demon Sect are here."

"Demon Gate! How dare those bastards come in!"

"Haha, are you really deceiving me that there is no one in Yunxiao Sect?"

"Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving!"

The hatred for the people of the Demon Sect made all the real people in the house furious when they heard about the arrival of the Demon Sect. Some of them even had their magic powers activated, obviously wanting to take action.

Among the crowd, Tao Ju was the only one who remained somewhat calm, but his eyes were also extremely deep.

After stopping everyone and not letting them leave immediately, Tao Juran said calmly: "In what name did the people from the Demon Sect come here? How many people came?"

Hearing Tao Juran's question, the Taoist boy immediately said: "There are dozens of Demon Sect disciples who came over, led by several Jindan elders, and more than a dozen Demon Sect saints. The reason why they came here is because they came under the guise of thousands of demon sect disciples." As an ally of the Ling Sect, come here to observe the ceremony."

"Watching the ceremony, haha, I think they want to disrupt the sect's award ceremony and use us to establish their authority."

There was no fool here. Almost in the blink of an eye, they thought of the reason why the people from the Demon Sect came.

Even the way they disrupted was guessed by a group of Jindan elders.

——Those Demon Sect disciples have a high probability of taking the initiative to challenge the disciples when they are conferring honors, and show the cruelty and power of the Demon Sect in a duel between disciples.

The Demon Sect is not weak, it is much stronger than the recruited casual cultivators and small family cultivators.

After seeing their cruelty and power, many casual cultivators will inevitably be afraid of them and dare not take action against them.

After all, the casual cultivators came here in response to the call to go to the lower world to obtain resources, not to die. Their fighting will was not firm to begin with.

Thinking of this, someone complained to Tao Juran.

"Senior brother, you should have held the medal ceremony earlier, but now someone from the Demon Sect has found the opportunity."

"Okay, stop talking. This is not the fault of Junior Brother Tao. Who would have thought that the Demon Sect would really dare to come. Moreover, those casual cultivators will have to go through this after all..."

Everyone was discussing how to deal with the people from the Demon Sect.

During the discussion, all the real people in the room were thinking about sending that disciple to fight the Demon Sect disciples. Not many people were thinking of swarming up to bully the small ones.

Even the extremely angry Jin Dan Master only wanted to invite the leader of the opposite party to fight, and had no intention of laying siege to him.

The reason for this is not that the real people in the room are pedantic, but that the Yunxiao Sect and the demon sects have not broken up with each other.

Yes, despite the lively fight among the people in the lower realm, Yunxiao Sect and Demon Sect are still not at war.

There is even an alliance between Yunxiao Sect and Wanling Demon Sect.

This situation may seem strange, but when you think about your past life, it seems normal.

In another world, the Xia Kingdom and a certain lighthouse country are engaged in a trade war, with various obstacles being used against each other, and both sides understand that they are the other's biggest enemy.

However, even under such circumstances, the two sides are still countries with normal exchanges and will cooperate on some matters.

This is the complexity of power.

The same is true for the relationship between Yunxiao Sect and a group of demon sects, and both sides have concerns about starting a war.

The enemies of Yunxiao Sect are not only the Demon Sect, but also the Demon Kingdom.

And those demon sects are also afraid of being stolen by the Dao sect behind them.

Under the fear of both sides, naturally they dare not start a war easily.

At the same time, regarding the lower realm, although Yunxiaozong has been talking about the invasion of the Demon Sect, on the other side, they also have their own explanations.

They have been promoting that the lower realm that accidentally collided with the Beiyuan Heavenly Territory was not the inherent territory of Yunxiao Sect and Lingyun Sword Sect, but belonged to the entire Beiyuan State Territory and even the entire Hongxuan Continent.

Yun Xiaozong has no right to deal with them alone, it is reasonable for them to send disciples to search for treasures.

As for the battle between the disciples of the Demon Sect and the disciples of the Taoist Sect in the lower realm, it also conforms to the rules of relics and wilderness fighting for treasures, and it is not a war.

Of course, Yunxiao Sect does not agree with this statement.

It's just that the Mozong recognized it, and some Taoist sects who wanted to get involved also recognized it.

This makes the ownership of the lower realm a bad debt, and in the end, the winner is still determined by strength.

And because the biggest enemy of Yunxiao Sect has always been the demon kingdom, and the enemies of those demon gates are Yunmeng Tianyu and the Taoist gates of another Tianyu, this makes the battle between the two sides, although it unfolds, always be controlled at the same level.

Under such circumstances, Yunxiaozong naturally couldn't break the rules and besieged them with all their strength.

Of course, the restrictions are mutual. Since there is no full-scale war, the Demon Sect can come to provoke the Yunxiao Sect. The Yunxiao Sect can also come to challenge the Demon Sect, but the other side does not dare to act rashly.

…

All the people in the room were thinking about how to deal with the provocation from the Demon Sect, and let this awarding ceremony come to a perfect conclusion.

And just as they were discussing and thinking with each other, humming, a trembling sound of jade talismans suddenly sounded in Tao Ran's arms.

"Huh? At this time?"

Frowning and activating the jade talisman, Tao actually received a lot of messages.

After receiving the message, his expression instantly changed from wrinkled to stretched, and a carefree smile also appeared on his face.

"Late? No, uncle, your news is not late at all, but just right..."

"But do you have confidence?"

"He is invincible under the golden elixir, and the fake elixir can be exchanged for one. Uncle Master, are you sure? I remember that he has not yet integrated the evil spirit. He is only in the middle stage of foundation building now. Isn't this kid deliberately exaggerating himself? The strength of the... well, it's your judgment, uncle, then there's no problem..."

"Get ready. We have already prepared it here and can start at any time. But, Uncle Master, your target selection needs to be changed..."

Through the jade talisman, Tao actually contacted his 'uncle master' for several minutes.

When the jade talisman went out, Tao Zhenren could no longer contain the smile on his face and laughed wildly and freely.

"Hahahaha... Okay, okay, okay, you are indeed a disciple of my Yunxiao Sect. You have brought me a big surprise."

After laughing, while the other real people were confused, Tao actually gave the order directly.

"Pass the order, the Foundation Building and Medal Ceremony will be held this afternoon. Let people go and decorate the venue."

“Also, go greet our ‘VIPs’ and take them to the best viewing position!”

"Huh? Why..."

Some people wanted to object, but before they could finish speaking, they were stopped by Tao Juran.

"Don't ask too many questions. Let's settle the matter first. As for the consequences, I will be responsible for them. Just do as you please."

"……yes."

In this way, under the abbot Tao Juran, the foundation building and honors awarding ceremony within the Yunxiao Sect was officially launched.

And a group of demon sect disciples who came to provoke them also entered the Yunxiao Sect under the 'welcome' of many Jindan and Jizhen Daoist.

Looking at the Yunxiao Sect disciple who was staring at everyone and not leaving even a step away, all the Demon Sect disciples knew that this was more of a welcome than a surveillance.

They couldn't even think of leaving Yunxiao Sect's sight.

This kind of look at guarding prisoners made many demon disciples frown.

However, the leading sons of the Demon Sect and the elders of the Demon Sect's Golden Core did not care about this.

When they came here this time, they did not use the idea of ​​​​conspiracy, but carried out a conspiracy.

In full public view, I invite you to fight in the name of communication. Do you dare to agree? Can you agree or not?

Of course the Yunxiao Sect could refuse to agree, but they didn't even have the courage to challenge them when someone came knocking on their door.

Once this kind of thing happens, it will be a fatal blow to the morale of the Yunxiao Sect.

If something like this really happened, not to mention casual cultivators and small family cultivators, even the inner and outer disciples would feel aggrieved and panic.

Therefore, Yunxiao Sect could only agree to the invitation from the Demon Sect disciples to fight.

And with this promise, he fell into the Demon Sect's plan.

After all, in their opinion, although Yunxiao Sect is located on the border of human-controlled areas and has been fighting demons all year round, its combat effectiveness is not weak.

But after all, he is just one sect and cannot compete with the combination of several demon sects.

Therefore, the people from the Demon Sect who came over, whether they were the Jindan elders or the Demon Sect disciples, they all felt that they would definitely win this provocation.
