chapter 127
The entire Purple Jade Forest, all the intersections and paths were guarded by fully armed soldiers.
No one was allowed to approach without permission.
No one was allowed to enter without permission.
In the canyon, there were even more soldiers.
The Dingxi General Wu An personally led a large number of soldiers to guard this place.
After all, the Catacombs ruins were of great importance. The imperial court had personally ordered that no mistakes could be made.
The plan that had been set was that Wenshu Yuan's eminent monks would perform a ritual to protect and select eight disciples to enter for training.
Each would depend on their own luck.
After the disciples had completed their training, Wenshu Yuan's Abbot Guang Liang would use his profound Dharma to completely seal the Catacombs ruins.
According to the previous plan, everything would be fine once the ruins were sealed.
At least for a hundred years, Tianbei City could sit back and relax.
At this time, Xuan Gang, Xuan Yuan, Wu Tian, Wu Yan, Ji Jian, Space, Nalan Yan, and Nangong Rian.
A total of eight of Tianbei City's best prodigies.
They had already prepared.
They were just waiting for Wenshu Yuan's eminent monks to open the Catacombs and enter.
At this moment, a majestic middle-aged man in a brocade robe appeared.
He brought dozens of armored soldiers with him.
He arrived at the camp in a hurry.
Wenshu Yuan's Abbot Guang Liang stood still and looked down.
Lao Zhuangzhu, Ji Yuan, Hengdao Sect An Ruyun, and Nangong family head Nangong Wentian.
They immediately went forward to greet him.
They smiled and cupped their fists in greeting.
The person who came was Tianbei City's City Lord, Jin Mofu.
"Greetings, Great Master Guang Liang."
Jin Mofu finished greeting Lao Zhuangzhu, Ji Yuan, Hengdao Sect An Ruyun, and Nangong family head Nangong Wentian.
He quickly stepped forward and arrived in front of the calm and unperturbed Abbot of Wenshu Yuan, Guang Liang.
He clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully.
His eyes were filled with respect.
All of a sudden, the status of Wenshu Yuan and the absolute leadership of Wenshu Yuan's Abbot, Guang Liang.
Clearly, in Jin Mofu's eyes, Wenshu Yuan was the true number one sect, and Wenshu Yuan's Abbot, Guang Liang, was the undisputed leader.
City Lord Jin Mofu, Hengdao Sect An Ruyun, Lao Zhuangzhu, Ji Yuan, and Nangong family's Nangong Wentian.
They had to bow their heads and listen obediently.
Wenshu Yuan and Abbot Guang Liang were respected.
"Great Master, General Wu is busy with military affairs and has ordered us to open the ruins first. Wenshu Yuan's Eminent Monks will perform a ritual to protect the disciples and allow them to enter."
"When he's done, he'll arrive shortly."
If City Lord Jin Mofu, Hengdao Sect An Ruyun, Lao Zhuangzhu, Ji Yuan, and Nangong family's Nangong Wentian.
Here, Wenshu Yuan's Abbot, Guang Liang, was the most respected.
Then this General Ding Xi, Wu An Jun, was equivalent to an even higher status.
A great general of the imperial court who controlled a large number of troops and had real power.
He was the highest decision maker here.
Wenshu Yuan's Abbot, Guang Liang, was not to say that they had to bow their heads and listen to his ears, but they had to at least show him some respect.
"Amitabha."
"General Wu's words, we will naturally comply."
"But now, Shaolin is the number one sect of our Tian Bei City's Martial Arts Federation, the leader of the TianBei City Martial Alliance."
"Shaolin's Abbot, Xuanxin, is the leader of our Martial Arts Sect. He should be the one in charge of opening the ruins. In this poor monk's opinion, let's wait for him."
Guang Liang finished speaking and closed his eyes. Then, he stood still and calmly chanted Buddhist scriptures in a low voice.
"What?"
"Shaolin's Abbot, Xuanxin?"
"He still hasn't arrived?"
Hearing this, City Lord Jin Mofu frowned. His expression was ugly as he said unhappily, "He's really impressive."
"What great face, and he still wants us to wait for him again?"
"Does he really think that he's the leader of the TianBei City Martial Alliance?"
City Lord Jin Mofu's tone became even more unfriendly. He blew his beard and glared as he said angrily, "There's no need to wait. He just entered the Xiantian Realm."
"What's the use of him coming?"
"This time, the Catacombs ruins still need the protection of Wenshu Yuan's eminent monks and Abbot Guang Liang's Buddhist teachings."
City Lord Jin Mofu's tone was full of disdain. Anyone could hear his contempt for Shaolin.
Although this was the Sect's Rising Star Competition.
Shaolin had won first place.
Shaolin's disciples had swept the top five …
But to be honest, in Jin Mofu's eyes, Shaolin was just so-so.
He didn't even take him seriously.
If he treated Shaolin as the number one sect of the TianBei City Martial Alliance, as the leader of the TianBei City Martial Alliance …
That would be the biggest joke in the world.
Laughable.
The opening of the Catacombs ruins this time relied on the martial strength of Wenshu Yuan's eminent monks and the profound Buddhist teachings of Wenshu Yuan's Abbot Guang Liang.
What did it have to do with Shaolin and Xuanxin?
Did Shaolin and Xuanxin have the strength of Wenshu Yuan?
"Haha, he's really putting on airs."
"That's right. Abbot Guang Liang and I rushed over early in the morning. What's this Shaolin putting on airs for?"
"Hmph, does he really think he's the number one sect? Does he really think he's the leader of our TianBei City Martial Alliance?"
"What are we waiting for? This Shaolin and Xuanxin have just entered the Xiantian Realm. How can they be compared to us Foundation Establishment Cultivators? "
"This time, the Catacombs ruins still depend on Wenshu Yuan and Guang Liang. What can Shaolin do?"
…
For a moment, Hengdao Sect An Ruyun, Nangong family head Nangong Wentian, and Castellan Jin Mofu all spoke one after another.
They all expressed their dissatisfaction.
As for Xuanxin, who had not come.
They felt even more annoyed. They despised and disdained him from the bottom of their hearts.
First of all, in their hearts, they did not recognize Shaolin as the number one sect. They did not recognize Shaolin as the leader of the Sect.
Secondly, Xuanxin's martial strength had just entered the Xiantian Realm.
He was not worth their attention.
This time, the Catacombs ruins depended on Wenshu Yuan. It had nothing to do with Shaolin.
Xuanxin had come, but he had only watched.
No one would pay attention to him.
"Amitabha." Guang Liang chanted the name of Buddha again.
Wenshu Yuan's Abbot, Guang Liang, was deliberately fanning the flames. On the surface, he said that Shaolin was the number one sect.
Shaolin was the leader of the Sect. He had to wait for Xuanxin's arrival.
In reality, he was retreating in order to advance. He wanted everyone to see clearly that Wenshu Yuan's strength was worthy of being the number one sect.
Opening the Catacombs ruins still required Wenshu Yuan's protection.
Without Wenshu Yuan, could Shaolin do it alone?
Lao Zhuangzhu Ji Yuan understood the situation from Wuzhen.
Then, he hurriedly ran over.
He faced the crowd and said righteously, "Everyone, Shaolin is the number one sect of the Martial Arts Federation."
"He is also the leader of the TianBei City Martial Arts Alliance."
"He is worthy of being the leader."
"Opening the Catacombs ruins should be presided over by Shaolin's Abbot, Xuanxin …"
Wujian Villa was completely dependent on Shaolin. They were also Shaolin's staunch supporters.
Lao Zhuangzhu Ji Yuan looked at the crowd and expressed their dissatisfaction.
Before Xuanxin arrived.
They were about to open the Catacombs ruins.
They were anxious.
"Abbot Xuanxin is in closed-door cultivation. We might as well wait a little longer …"
Lao Zhuangzhu Ji Yuan was very dissatisfied with the results of this Sect competition because the sects did not recognize them.
Shaolin had won first place.
As the number one sect in Tianbei City, Shaolin should be the leader of the Sect.
The opening of the Catacombs ruins was the top priority of the TianBei City Martial Arts Alliance. As the leader of the Martial Arts Federation's Sect, Xuanxin had not arrived yet.
How could the Catacombs be opened when the chief was not here?
