Chapter 100: The Taoist Sects of the World (Part 2)

The old monk's voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly. Everyone looked unhappy. It was true that Shushan was a big sect, but they practiced swordsmanship and had never produced many magic weapons. Although they were prosperous a thousand years ago, they gradually declined later, so they were always suppressed by Kunlun. This time they made such a big noise and used such rare treasures to increase the scene. Everyone knew that it was just a demonstration.

However, except for the Taoist Tianshi of Longhu Mountain, these cultivators were all independent cultivators without a mountain gate. Those with sects were not small shrimp sects. This time, Shushan sent out invitations and invited them all to come. These cultivators had to give Shushan Sect some face. Anyway, these cultivators were independent cultivators, and the sect disputes were not their fault. They understood that in fact, to put it bluntly, the opening ceremony of Shushan was for Kunlun to see. Although Maoshan Longhu was also a big sect with a prominent reputation, it had not developed as fast as Shushan in recent years.

Some cultivators figured this out and their faces softened. No matter how big the show was, it was none of their business. They even had the mentality of watching the show. Some cultivators even talked freely: "I wonder if Kunlun will come today?"

"It will definitely come. Shushan has no reason not to invite Kunlun. The two sects should at least maintain a good relationship for the sake of face, right? If Kunlun doesn't come, isn't that a clear sign of weakness?"

"That's not necessarily the case. Isn't there no one from Maoshan?"

"Maoshan? Several disciples from Maoshan are missing. I heard that they were killed by masters of the magic path. Now everyone in Maoshan is in a state of panic."

"Magic path! Where are the masters of the magic path now? You must have heard it wrong!"

These cultivators were talking in groups of three or two. They didn't have the style of a Taoist at all. Instead, they were like people in the market talking about the news. It seems that these casual cultivators have also kept pace with the times and integrated into modern society. Taoist Master Dao and his four disciples stood aside and didn't chat with those cultivators. They looked a bit like a crane standing out from the crowd. These cultivators also knew that they didn't go up to chat. It was true that cultivators valued strength the most. If they didn't have strength, they would not be humble when they spoke. The most accomplished cultivators were just those who had just entered the Spiritualization Stage. How could they be qualified to talk to Taoist Master Daoyi, one of the four great masters in the world?

As they spoke, a dozen old Taoists in green cloth robes came to the other side of the golden arch bridge transformed by the Golden Dragon Ladder. The old Taoist in the lead was Taoist Master Qingxu, the head of Shushan. The middle-aged cultivator standing shoulder to shoulder with him had three strands of dark black beard floating in front of his chest. Who else could it be if it wasn't Lingxu, one of the four great masters? When Taoist Master Daoyi saw Lingxu coming out, his face changed suddenly. With his cultivation, he could certainly see the unusualness of Taoist Master Lingxu. However, the surprise on his face was fleeting. When the two people's eyes met, sparks seemed to be rubbed out in the air. Taoist Master Qingxu smiled knowingly at the two people, and then went to greet the cultivators to follow the golden bridge into the blessed land of Shushan. The dozen or so old Taoists obviously had the cultivation of the middle stage of the Spiritualization, and some even entered the late stage of the Spiritualization. Although those cultivators could not see the cultivation of the dozen or so old Taoists, they could feel the powerful momentum and true energy fluctuations on them. The dozen or so old Taoists were all elders of Shushan, or the junior brothers or senior brothers of the old Taoist Qingxu. In particular, the disciple of the old Taoist Qingxu, Xu Jiankong, was also mixed in. His momentum was not weaker than that of the old Taoists. These cultivators were really surprised and kept silent.

For a moment, the entire sea of ​​clouds became empty, leaving only the old Taoist Lingxu, Taoist Tianshi, and Dai Jinrong. Seeing Lingxu coming over, Taoist Tianshi suddenly made a move, and the purple light talisman flashed above his head, wrapping the four people behind him. Then the purple light talisman shone brightly, and with a crashing sound, he rushed out of the sea of ​​clouds with the four people and disappeared. Taoist Lingxu watched Taoist Tianshi's actions with a smile, and did not stop him. He said, "Master Tianshi is still so careful. We are from the same Taoist sect. Do you think I will bully a few junior disciples?"

Master Daoyi sneered, "I heard that my disciple had a conflict with Shushan disciples last time. I just took this opportunity to find out the reason. I didn't expect Shushan to be so powerful. I guess they found the secret treasures left by your Shushan predecessors. I don't feel at ease that my disciple will have another conflict with Shushan disciples." Although Master Daoyi said well, he was actually just afraid that a few disciples would suffer. Last time, the four of them had a conflict with Shushan disciple Xiang Hui. If it weren't for the timely intervention of Taoist Master Kuangjun, I'm afraid that his four beloved disciples would have been finished. This time, Master Daoyi came to Shushan to seek justice. He didn't know that Shushan's strength had greatly increased. In order to establish its prestige in the world, it was inevitable to protect its shortcomings. Although these old guys would not take action, the two sides of the disciples clashed, Shushan's strength increased greatly, and the disciples must have gained a lot of benefits. In order to prevent the disciples from suffering, Master Daoyi had to use the escape talisman to send the four away.

The two looked at each other like fighting cocks, without any master's demeanor. After a long time, Lingxu shook his head and sighed: "I didn't expect that Tianshi also broke through to this level. It seems that our thirty years have not been in vain. I believe that Master Qianji and Kaiyang Zhenren are the same as us!" Thirty years ago, in the battle between Taoism and Demonism, the four great masters were all in the late stage of transformation. Unexpectedly, thirty years later, they have all made great progress in their skills and entered the realm of returning to the void at the same time. People can't help but sigh that the balance of heaven is not bad at all. In fact, Daotian Master also had a strange encounter and made great progress in his skills, so he dared to rush to seek justice for his disciple at the opening ceremony of Shushan. Now seeing that Lingxu Laodao has also entered the realm of returning to the void like himself, he immediately sent his disciple away to avoid humiliation.

"Haha! Haha! You're right. I thought I was one step ahead! I didn't expect that the two Taoist friends are the same!" Taoist Tianshi was about to speak when a clear crane cry came from the sea of ​​clouds. Then a huge crane flew out from the rolling white clouds. On the crane sat a thin old Taoist in black. The crane was as big as two people. There was a bright red crown as big as a teacup on its head. It was obviously a red-crowned crane. However, the one who spoke earlier was not the old Taoist in black sitting on the crane, but the tall old Taoist priest standing on the white cloud next to the crane.

Lingxu and Daoyi were both stunned. Taoist Lingxu spoke first and bowed to the tall Taoist, "Shushan is naturally happy that True Man Kaiyang has come to honor us. Who is this Taoist friend?" Lingxu glanced at the skinny Taoist in black riding on the crane and sized him up. Unexpectedly, he could not see through his cultivation level. "How come he is another Return to the Void master? It seems that it may not be so easy for Shushan to overwhelm Kunlun and become the number one Taoist in the world!" Taoist Lingxu really couldn't understand why as soon as he broke through to the Return to the Void realm, masters emerged one after another like mud.
