Looking at Du Huating's dejected back, a faint cold light flashed in Chang Wudao's eyes.
Among all the Senior Martial Brother brothers, Du Huating has the best talent, but his heart is not the cruelest. This is what Chang Wudao is most dissatisfied with.
If there were no extra options, he would not let Du Huating do this.
"Good junior brother, I hope you can make the right decision." Chang Wudao's cold voice echoed in the secret room, like the whisper of a devil.
He has now reached a very critical step, and there is no room for any mistakes!
Du Huating returned to his cave abode with deep thoughts. His direct disciple Liu Ruowei was already waiting in front of the door. Seeing his figure, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Master, is there any news from the sect master?"
Hearing this, Du Huating nodded, but quickly shook his head.
Looking at the disciple who looked most like him, Du Huating felt his throat was a little dry, and for a moment he didn't know how to speak.
Song Clan has been prospering over the years, and Wuling Sect has not stood still. Three new Foundation Establishment Cultivators have been added, two of whom are Rogue Cultivator, and the remaining one is Liu Ruowei. She is also the only monk who has not taken [Foundation Establishment Pill] Foundation Establishment. She is less than forty years old this year.
Du Huating has high hopes for her, hoping that she can take over his mantle in the future, but now...
"Ruowei, I will give you a task for my master." Du Huating said calmly, suppressing the chaotic emotions in his heart.
"Please give me your instructions, Master."
"Song Clan The younger generation of monks has grown very fast in the past few years. We cannot fall behind others. You go and select a group of outstanding disciples of our sect and train them intensively as teachers."
Liu Ruowei said hesitantly after hearing this, "I wonder what the selection criteria are?"
"Just choose those with outstanding talents who are over fourteen years old and under thirty years old. It is best to have a certain skill. The quota is limited to twenty people. Remember, you can only choose from this sect."
The word "main sect" was bitten hard by Du Huating. Although Four-Clan Alliance was forced to merge into the Wuling Sect, the time given to them to merge was too short. The internal situation is still a piece of loose sand. No matter what they do, the disciples of the main sect give priority, which is the so-called "main sect".
Liu Ruowei had no doubt that he was there and immediately took the order and left.
After she left, Du Huating mechanically opened cave abode and slumped down on the seat. This night was extremely long for him...
The next day, the sect meeting continued, and Du Huating directly dropped a bombshell at the meeting, making everyone present look at it.
"Sect Master has really reached the last step?" Qiu Tianyang asked in a deep voice, and even the title changed unknowingly.
"Yes, I have contacted Blazing Sun Sect. If we have their support, it will not be difficult for us to survive this period of time.
Half a year, if there is no breakthrough in Sect Master in half a year, Du promised that you can stay or go as you like. During this period, I will open the sect Treasure Vault for everyone to use. "Council Hall, Du Huating said impassionedly, completely different from yesterday.
Everyone present looked at each other and suddenly thought about it in their hearts.
Half a year is actually not that long. Although Song Xianming broke through the Purple Mansion, it was not so quick to bring bad luck to them.
In addition, they are not made of mud. White Cloud Peak was built by them to be impregnable. If Blazing Sun Sect comes to help, even Song Xianming cannot easily break through.
If Chang Wudao breaks through then, they will naturally sound the clarion call for counterattack. It doesn't matter if they don't break through. Their legs are on their own body, so they can't run away?
It's only half a year, they can afford the gamble.
After everyone had a private exchange, Yu Chengshan stood up and said, "In that case, let's follow what Great Elder said. When you go back, let your subordinates prepare for war!"
After the meeting, Wuling Sect immediately began to operate quickly, and Du Huating also kept its promise and opened Treasure Vault for them to use.
Wuling Sect is full of fighting spirit, but Liuyun Sect is full of gloom and gloom.
Although Liu Hongye is also preparing for matters related to breaking through the Purple Mansion, it has already ended before it started, completely killing Liuyun Sect's ambition to the ground.
Although Liuyun Sect's power has not grown in recent years, due to the last Demon Wolf invasion, the Great Elder Xia Ai family's power was severely damaged. Instead, Liu Hongye took back most of its power, almost making Liuyun Sect monolithic.
As far as the current strength that can be displayed is concerned, it may be stronger than Wuling Sect.
Unfortunately, in front of the Song Clan who owns Purple Palace Cultivator, these are not enough.
"Sect Master, you should make up your mind." A Liu Clan tribesman looked at Liu Hongye above and said anxiously.
But Liu Hongye didn't seem to hear it. He just stared at the table in front of him with a gloomy face, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xia Ai was also a little panicked at this moment. Seeing this, he couldn't help but said, "Unite with the Wuling Sect. We have a common enemy. With the combined power of the two sects, Song Clan will definitely not be able to do anything to us!"
After the words fell, Liu Hongyan, Liu Hongye's clan brother, couldn't help but sneered, "Wuling Sect's own internal affairs have not been resolved yet. A group of short-sighted people, joining forces with them, will still be a mess. It is just a laughing stock."
Xia Ai's old face suddenly turned red, but these words scolded him. He couldn't help but slap the table and said, "This won't work, and that won't work either. You should come up with an idea!"
Liu Hongyan was about to retort when a disciple outside the door suddenly came in in a hurry and said, "Sect Master, elders, there is a visitor outside who calls himself Song Clan Elder."
After the disciple's words fell, Council Hall, which was still filled with the smell of gunpowder, suddenly became silent. Liu Hongye's originally drooped head suddenly lifted up at this moment.
"Song Clan is here? What is he here for?"
"It can't be a challenge, right?"
"Could it be a trick to lure the enemy out, deliberately luring me out?"
Seeing that everyone's guesses were getting more and more outrageous, Liu Hongye took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Quiet!
Song Clan What is the purpose of coming? We will know when we meet. If you have the courage, follow me down the mountain. "
After that, he stood up and left first.
Followed closely by Liu Hongyan and two other Liu Clan's Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Xia Ai looked at each other and the last person present, and finally followed him.
The group of people came out of the Council Hall and saw a handsome young monk wearing a white moon-patterned robe standing proudly at the foot of the mountain gate. Sect Protecting Great Array had already been opened, and a group of the Liuyun Sect monks were facing a formidable enemy.
Seeing this, Liu Hongye couldn't help but sigh secretly, Liuyun Sect has now become a frightened bird, Song Clan is just a person who came here, and acted like this, which is a joke.
Waving to signal everyone to relax, he walked alone to the mountain gate, cupped his hands slightly and said, "It turns out that Changan's chief Eldest Child is here. What advice can you give me?"
Song Chang'an said nothing, waved his hand and shot out a stream of light.
Liu Hongye caught it calmly and found that it was a purple gold-gilded invitation.
At this time, Song Chang'an said calmly, "On the seventh day of February, Violet Palace Grand Ceremony will be held on Vast Peak. If Sect Master Liu is free, you can come and watch the ceremony. Song will say goodbye!"
After that, he cupped his hands and left with his sword. He still had many invitations like this in his arms, but he didn't have time to spend more time with them.
"How dare Song Clan be so rude!" Liu Hongyan had a flash of anger in his eyes. Is this an invitational attitude? He simply didn't take them seriously.
Liu Hongye put the invitation into his large sleeve robe with a solemn expression, sighed and said, "In the past, it would have been rude for them to do this, but now, Song Clan is willing to send us an invitation, so we should be grateful.
There are many such invitations, but none of them will be sent to the Wuling Sect. This is the difference.
The fact that we can still receive invitations means that Song Clan has not yet regarded us as a thorn in its side, and there is still room for relaxation between the two parties. This is an opportunity given by the Song Clan to us. Either we will be turned into powder in the resistance, or we will surrender at the feet of the Song Clan. "
From the moment he knew that Song Xianming had broken through the Purple Mansion, Liu Hongye actually had the answer in his heart, but he had been waiting for the Song Clan's attitude.
Fortunately, Song Clan did not intend to kill them all, leaving them a chance to choose.
Liu Hongyan and others were silent after hearing this. Although they were very reluctant to accept it, this was the situation they were facing now.
"Prepare a big gift, come to Vast Peak on the seventh day of February." Leaving these words, Liu Hongye waved his sleeves and left, leaving everyone alone to feel sad in the wind...
I don't know how Liuyun Sect would choose Song Changsheng. He is very busy now, very, very busy.
Violet Palace Grand Ceremony There are many things to prepare, among which invitations are the top priority, and which ones need to be sent, which ones do not need to be sent, and who will send them is all a science.
Although most of the invitations are sent by Song Chang'an, they are limited to Foundation Establishment who are friends with the Song Clan or Rogue Cultivator. For others, Song Chang'an's weight is not enough.
These require Song Changsheng and Young Clan Head to take action personally.
The closest one was Wutong Mountain Range Wang Clan. As a staunch ally of the Song Clan, after careful consideration, Song Changsheng decided to go in person to show respect.
Followed by the Xiangzhou Rong Clan, Lin Province Gauze Washing Sect, He Province Demon Subduing Hall, Xuzhou Heavenly Sword Sect, Meng Province Hundred Herbs Hall, Violet Palace Force of Great Qi Cultivation World, except Blazing Sun Sect, Song Changsheng all came to deliver the invitations in person.
Some of these forces have some intersection with the Song Clan, and some do not, but regardless of whether you are familiar with them or not, the invitation must be handed over. If you do not hand it over, you are ignorant, and if you do not hand it over, the other party is ignorant.
No one would mind having one more friend. Anyway, everyone behaved politely and patted their chests to express that they would definitely go.
In addition to these companies, Song Changsheng also made a special trip to Nine Swords Mountain to invite Yuan Tianshu.
The other Purple Mansion Rogue Cultivator Song Changsheng was not invited. After all, the tragedy of the Hundred Herbs Hall was still fresh in our minds, so Song Changsheng had to be careful.
The last three are Golden Core Sects.
According to past practice, Song Changsheng went to the Golden Crow Sect and Heavenly Meridian Sect respectively. He didn't know whether the other party would come, but the etiquette was considered to be in place.
He deliberately placed Sunset City as the last one. After all, the relationship between the Song Clan and Sunset City is different from the first two.
He not only visited Great City Lord, but also visited Zhan Tianxia, Senior Xiao, Bai Zhengchun, and Shen Qingxiu individually, handing each of them an invitation.
It's a pity that Yin Shang and Niu Dazhuang are still fighting in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, and Zhuang Yuechan is also in retreat, only seeing the cheap Senior Martial Brother Xing Zhao.
After a round of visits, Song Changsheng looked at the remaining two invitations in his hand and sighed slightly. One of them belonged to Xu Yunhe. He followed Coalition Army into the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, and even Sunset City could not find anyone there.
The other one belongs to Little Fatty Zhu Yiqun, not to mention this one. He hasn't seen anyone in years, and he doesn't even know whether he is dead or alive.
Putting the two invitations in his arms and putting them away, Song Changsheng returned Lineage.
In order to send the invitations, he traveled almost all over Great Qi Cultivation World without daring to delay at all along the way. When he returned to Lineage, it was almost February.
Less than ten days before the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Song Clan was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer. Everyone was beaming with joy, except for one person, standing on the edge of a cliff, looking at White Cloud Cultivation World in the distance in a daze.
This person is Song Qingxi. For three years, she always comes to Moonfall Cliff to stand for a while every time she returns to Lineage. She is fulfilling her promise and waiting for someone.
The sun sets in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun stretches the shadow of Song Qingxi.
Xia Yunxue looked at Song Qingxi's back from a distance and sighed deeply. Throughout the ages, the word "love" has been the most difficult to understand, and she didn't know how to comfort her.
Little Ling Yun on the side stared at Song Qingxi being submerged by the gradually falling darkness. He took Xia Yunxue's hand and said in a sweet voice, "Grandma, why don't you go home?"
Gently rubbing the little guy's soft hair, Xia Yunxue explained softly, "Because my sister is waiting for someone."
"Waiting for someone? Is it the brother Elder Brother that my sister is talking about?" the little guy asked with his big innocent eyes.
"Yun'er is so smart." Xia Yunxue smiled slightly, and like magic, took out a piece of preserved fruit and handed it to him.
Little Ling Yun happily took it, stuffed it into his mouth, and said inarticulately, "Where did that Elder Brother go? Why didn't he come back? Doesn't he miss home? Yun'er wanted to go home when he was in school."
Xia Yunxue bent down and picked up Ling Yun, facing the direction of the setting sun without speaking.
She didn't know where the child who left home was now, let alone why he didn't come back, but she believed that he was homesick and just couldn't come back due to some special reasons.
She firmly believes that the wanderers outside will eventually come home...
On the seventh day of February, in the early morning, the weather was clear, and White Cloud Cultivation World stars were dotted in the sky, floating in the wind.
At the top of Vast Peak, the bells sounded eighteen times, dull and heavy, spreading in all directions.
Almost all Song Clan Disciples who were outside rushed back to Lineage. Under the guidance of the bell, they wore uniform robes and rushed to different positions according to the previous division of labor.
The seventh day of February is a day that all Song Clan people will remember for the rest of their lives.
"Mountain Opening door!"
Accompanied by Song Xianyun's energetic shout, Foot of Vast Peak's mountain gate slowly opened, and a group of the Song Clan tribesmen, led by Song Changsheng, began to welcome guests from all forces.
Violet Palace Grand Ceremony, officially started!
