Selecting Jiuquan Town, Location of the Three Fiends Position

A few days passed in a flash.

At the Three Mao Patriarchs Hall.

Normally, the elders of Maoshan's various halls would hold their discussions in the Sect Master's main hall. However, since Maoshan's current Sect Master, Xuanmingzi, had not yet emerged from seclusion, the meeting place had shifted to the Three Mao Patriarchs Hall.

"The top five disciples for this grand competition are almost ready. Qianyuan, based on the information the Law Enforcement Hall has received, which places require Maoshan disciples to go and take charge?"

This kind of matter was usually handled by the Law Enforcement Hall. In the past, True Immortal Qianyuan would entrust Liu Gang with it, but this time, Zhong Bai needed to descend the mountain, so True Immortal Qianyuan took a more active role.

"Uncle-Master Ming, the locations requiring Maoshan disciples to guard have basically all been tallied.

First is Ren Family Town.

Ren Family Town is a large town with several thousand people, but it has never had a Daoist sect stationed there. As a result, evil entities frequently appear. Ren Family Town has therefore sent a request to Maoshan. They've even designated a courtyard within the town as the location for a resident righteous manor.

Second is Ping'an County. It has tens of thousands of people, but no Daoist temple has been established. While things like seeking children or asking about the deceased don't necessarily need attention, it is a county seat, and even with its high population, disciples must be stationed there.

Third are the mountain forest official roads. These are on official roads but too far from human habitation. Passing common folk are often harmed by evil entities, so a Daoist temple also needs to be established there.

Fourth is Jiuquan Town!

It's located in the Three Fiends Position, where evil entities run rampant, making it a tough nut to crack.

Fifth is Shimen Town. Speaking of which, Shi Jian, the Sect Master's personal disciple, hails from that town."

After listening to True Immortal Qianyuan, everyone present's eyes gleamed as they weighed the pros and cons. Since their own disciples were descending the mountain, everyone naturally had their own biases. Therefore, choosing a good location was essential.

"In that case, the risks involved in these disciples descending the mountain are not low."

Ming Wanqian furrowed his brow. The land of Kyushu was becoming increasingly chaotic. The information Maoshan had gathered was relatively accurate, but the hidden demons and monsters were absolutely countless!

The purpose of letting Zhong Bai and the others descend the mountain wasn't truly to have them fight to the death to protect a region. More importantly, it was for their experience, or rather, to use demons and monsters to cultivate them more quickly.

"How about this: Shi Jian goes to Shimen Town, returning to his hometown. That way, the Sect Master can rest assured.

Lin Fengjiao goes to Ren Family Town, Four-Eyes goes to the official road, Auntie Zhe goes to Ping'an County. As for Zhong Bai… let him go to Jiuquan Town!"

Having said that, Ming Wanqian gave no one a chance to argue and directly turned to leave.

Seeing this, True Immortal Qianyuan was a bit bewildered. No, he was still thinking of picking an easier, more comfortable place for his own disciple to establish a Daoist temple.

How… how was it suddenly decided by Uncle-Master Ming, assigned to Jiuquan Town?

He wanted to speak, but neither Junior Brother Changsheng nor Junior Brother Lin beside him had any objections. For a moment, True Immortal Qianyuan could only plan after informing Zhong Bai of the decision.

"Senior Brother Qianyuan, speaking of Jiuquan Town, I once passed through there. It's located in the Three Fiends Position, where malevolent energy gathers, attracting demons and monsters. Junior Nephew Zhong Bai going there to establish a Daoist temple, Senior Brother Qianyuan will have to spend a fortune!"

True Immortal Changsheng's gaze was deep as he looked at Qianyuan. He really wanted to know what good things Senior Brother Qianyuan, who was taking on a disciple for the first time, could give Zhong Bai for his descent.

"Junior Brother Changsheng worries too much. That kid Zhong Bai has impressive Thunder Techniques mastery; all he lacks is time. I, your senior brother, would also like to give him some treasures, but I'm afraid my disciple might not even have the chance to use them…"

True Immortal Qianyuan also had a smile in his eyes. They were all regulars who dealt with each other daily and knew best what words truly stung.

Upon hearing this, True Immortal Changsheng was immediately speechless. Yes, what treasures did Zhong Bai even need?

With his Thunder Techniques, plus his vigorous qi and blood, hehe, if demons and evil entities encountered him, they might not survive unless they ran fast. He had been worrying for nothing…

"Four-Eyes, ah, Four-Eyes, gain some prestige so your master can also have a day to be proud. Please."

With a bitter feeling in his heart, Lin Fengjiao's master, True Immortal Lin, watched with a smile throughout, completely in a mood to enjoy the show. Although Lin Fengjiao only had the strength of the fourth level of Qi Condensation, Lin Fengjiao was very stable!

Hmm, he wasn't worried about any dangers his disciple might encounter after descending the mountain.

After a simple meeting, True Immortal Qianyuan returned to the Law Enforcement Hall. Zhong Bai had already packed his belongings and was waiting.

As soon as he entered the hall and saw Zhong Bai ready, True Immortal Qianyuan couldn't help but look at him with a hint of resentment.

Was his disciple really that eager?

"Zhong Bai, you're quite proactive."

"Master, your disciple merely thought that the sooner I descend the mountain, the sooner I can establish a Daoist temple and protect a region."

With a single sentence, Zhong Bai blocked True Immortal Qianyuan's next thoughts.

He sighed.

"Your stationing point has been decided: Jiuquan Town!

This town is not simple. It's located in the Three Fiends Position, where Yin, Earth, and Malefic energies converge. This often means demons and monsters are lurking.

To be honest, your master feels it's a bit dangerous. If you think it's unsuitable, your master can change your location…"

Upon hearing "Jiuquan Town" and "Three Fiends Position," Zhong Bai couldn't help but be startled. This place sounded very familiar. It seemed there was a church there, and Western vampires.

Hmm, good location!

"Master, do you mean… there are many demons and monsters in this place?"

Zhong Bai asked with uncertain probing. After all, movie plots shouldn't be taken as reality. If Jiuquan Town had no evil entities, he would have wasted a great opportunity to earn Exorcism Points.

"That's right!

Even if there are no demons or evil entities normally, due to the special nature of the Three Fiends Position, many evil entities are unconsciously drawn to this place.

At the same time, whether it's corpses or souls, they easily transform into zombies or ghosts. One could say that if the Three Fiends Position wasn't sealed, if it were truly fully open, Jiuquan Town would have long since turned into a living hell, just like Tengteng Town…"

Hmm?

The mention of Tengteng Town made Zhong Bai's eyes light up.

"Master, could you tell me about the situation in Tengteng Town?"

Seeing Zhong Bai's expression, True Immortal Qianyuan instinctively felt something was off. This kid isn't planning to mess with Tengteng Town, is he?

"Ahem, my disciple, I believe you can handle most things, but Tengteng Town... I must gravely warn you: do not set foot there lightly!

Fifty years ago, a Flying Zombie appeared in Tengteng Town. Zombies do not enter the cycle of reincarnation; they are abandoned by the six paths.

Beginning with their transformation, they evolve in stages. Hairy Zombies are equivalent to cultivators below the sixth level of Qi Condensation.

They are further categorized into White-Haired Zombies, Green-Haired Zombies, Black-Haired Zombies, and Purple-Haired Zombies.

Among them, Purple-Haired Zombies have immense potential, comparable to cultivators at the sixth level of Qi Condensation!

Beyond that, they evolve into Hopping Zombies, equivalent to cultivators in the late stages of Qi Condensation.

If they acquire a fortuitous opportunity to advance further, they can become Bronze-Armored Zombies. Only cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Condensation can contend with them, and typically, Foundation Establishment True Immortals are dispatched to deal with them.

As for Silver Armored Corpse Kings and Golden Armored Corpse Kings, which are comparable to Foundation Establishment True Immortals, even ordinary Foundation Establishment True Immortals can only flee when encountering them.

And Tengteng Town!"

At this point, True Immortal Qianyuan's gaze and expression were filled with complexity and reminiscence.

"Fifty years ago, a Golden Armored Corpse King on the verge of becoming a Flying Zombie appeared in Tengteng Town!

At that time, I had just entered the Foundation Establishment realm. Both Buddhist and Daoist factions united and stormed into Tengteng Town, only to discover that the Golden Armored Corpse King was already a half-step Flying Zombie.

It even commanded several Silver Armored Corpse Kings. Ultimately, we couldn't eradicate it. A Buddhist Golden Core powerhouse, who was close to nirvana, heavily wounded the half-step Flying Zombie, but could only seal it, not kill it.

Heaven knows if that half-step Flying Zombie in Tengteng Town has crossed that threshold after fifty years..."

As he spoke, True Immortal Qianyuan still felt a lingering fear. He had nearly died in Tengteng Town back then; it was arguably the closest True Immortal Qianyuan had ever come to death!
