Xuanwei Realm.
"Uncle Master, have you found the whereabouts of Senior Sister Zhang?" Zheng Fa asked Uncle-Master Pang in the Five-Dragon Heavenly Palace.
Uncle-Master Pang glanced at Zheng Fa with a grimace on his face.
"We have determined the approximate location, but... no one has been found yet."
Looking at his expression, Zheng Fa knew that things might be a bit troublesome.
"What's the problem?"
"That place is close to the Secret Realm of Great Freedom Demon Cult. There are too many Demonic Sect disciples... and I don't dare to go there rashly." Uncle-Master Pang hesitated for a while and sighed, "I'm afraid that Great Freedom Demon Cult is cheating."
Zheng Fa somewhat understands Uncle-Master Pang's hesitation.
He was afraid that people from Great Freedom Demon Cult would gather around him and call for reinforcements.
Can't kill Senior Sister Zhang.
Killing one Nine Mountains Sect Nascent Soul is enough.
"They... would target us Nine Mountains Sect like this?"
Objectively speaking:
What grade is Great Freedom Demon Cult?
What grade is Nine Mountains Sect?
Is it worth paying such a big expense to the other party?
"If we are not in the same place, of course they will look down on us." Uncle-Master Pang did not feel that Zheng Fa was disparaging his sect, but said frankly, "But now there is no room for two tigers in this mountain, Everlasting Spring Sect has been wiped out - plus there is Heavenly Stele."
That's right.
Nine Mountains Sect believes that Taiyang Commandery is its own territory.
Great Freedom Demon Cult still feels that Secret Realm is here.
There are naturally conflicts.
Uncle-Master Pang's worries are not impossible.
"That is to say, Thunder Pool is in a special environment, and those Demonic Sect Nascent Soul are also afraid of capsizing in the gutter..." Uncle-Master Pang shook his head and said, "But I, Nine Mountains Sect, am weak after all."
Zheng Fa nodded.
Thunder Pool Today's environment has greatly leveled the cultivation gap between monks.
Although monks with high cultivation level can maintain their relative advantage by relying on Law Treasure or something.
But compared to the outside world, the possibility of overturning is much greater.
Uncle-Master Pang did not dare to enter Thunder Pool because he was afraid that others would exchange his life for those disciples with low cultivation level.
What's more, now that Heavenly Stele has attracted many Immortal Sect characters, Great Freedom Demon Cult has to keep a low profile.
"Even if they have no conspiracy, just because they want to protect their own Secret Realm, this matter is still very troublesome." Uncle-Master Pang thought about it and said, "For the current plan, we can only rely on Foundation Establishment and Qi Refinement Realm disciples."
Zheng Fa is silent.
Thunder Pool is so special that letting monks above Golden Core enter is really not worth the gain.
We still have to rely on the human sea tactic to fight tooth and nail.
But in this case, casualties are inevitable.
"Master Nephew Zheng." Uncle-Master Pang seemed to understand his expression, and sighed and said, "To me Nine Mountains Sect, Junior Nephew-Disciple Zhang is more important than a hundred ordinary disciples."
"Disciple understands."
Uncle-Master Pang said softly, "Do you know why I brought so many disciples here?"
Zheng Fa was startled and looked outside the Five-Dragon Heavenly Palace.
This time, half of the disciples of the Nine Mountains Sect who came to Thunder Pool were disciples of the lineage of Uncle-Master Pang.
"Uncle Master..."
"As a superior, one must never be merciful."
Walking out from the Five-Dragon Heavenly Palace, Zheng Fa slowly walked in Thunder Pool Market.
He didn't look at the newly opened shops this time, nor did he look at the increasing number of people in Marketplace.
Instead, he was looking at his fellow disciples.
Now Thunder Pool Market is becoming more and more prosperous.
They had a good life.
The patrolling disciples walked in twos and threes, talking and laughing in low voices.
When seeing Zheng Fa, many disciples will salute with a smile.
His face was respectful and approachable.
Zheng Fa couldn't help but feel a little proud--
Apart from anything else, Nine Mountains Sect's situation is much better now, and the disciples have many more smiles on their faces.
Zheng Fa feels that he has his own contribution.
But a word from Uncle-Master Pang may be able to break through this seemingly beautiful illusion - maybe these people will enter Thunder Pool in a few days, desperately trying to find Senior Sister Zhang and Great Freedom Demon Sect.
"Junior Brother Zheng?"
A somewhat familiar voice came, it was Senior Brother Yang who used to work for Senior Sister Zhang.
Zheng Fa had just come into contact with Nine Mountains Sect Market.
Later, I came to Thunder Pool, and Senior Brother Yang also contributed a lot to the establishment of the new Marketplace. Now I have a close relationship with Zheng Fa.
He was a little curious when he saw Zheng Fa's face.
"Senior Brother Yang."
"How's it going? Is there any news about Senior Sister Zhang?"
Senior Brother Yang cares.
Zheng Fa shook his head, hesitating a little, but still spoke, "There is a general direction, but there are too many Great Freedom Demon Sect disciples there."
Senior Brother Yang was stunned.
As if he understood something, his eyes slowly changed.
After a long time, he finally said, "... are we going to Thunder Pool?"
"..."
"Actually, when senior brother Sun Daoyu picked someone, everyone understood it." Seeing Zheng Fa not speaking, Senior Brother Yang laughed instead.
Zheng Fa nodded slightly.
"If we don't save Senior Sister Zhang, maybe we can survive for the time being, but Nine Mountains Sect will be short of Senior Sister Zhang in the future... I don't think we can live long. Besides, even if we go in and fight those Demonic Sect thieves, we won't necessarily die, right?"
Zheng Fa shook his head and said with a smile, "I am not as understanding as my senior brother."
"No, Junior Brother Zheng." On the contrary, Senior Brother Yang waved his hand, looked at Zheng Fa and said, "It's not that you can't understand, it's that you see too many people in your eyes."
"Huh?"
"Uncle-Master Pang, Senior Sister Zhang, or even Sect Leader, when have you ever seen us disciples in your eyes?" Senior Brother Yang smiled and said, "I don't know how you grew up, but you are the only one who would look at us disciples at this time."
"I'm being pretentious."
Zheng Fa smiled to himself.
It's just that he is more inclined to modernity, and some of his ideas often seem a bit out of date.
"Junior Brother Zheng, we disciples actually understood this before we came here." Senior Brother Yang whispered:
"Some of them are helpless. Who dares to disobey Nascent Soul's order?"
"You are like me because you are a direct descendant of Senior Sister Zhang, so you have to come here."
"There may be a few people there, but I know there are some." Senior Brother Yang paused and said, "I believe in you."
"Trust me?"
"I believe you won't let us die in vain."
"They are not doing it for Senior Sister Zhang, just because of you."
"..."
Zheng Fa is a little stunned.
He didn't expect that there was such a person like Nine Mountains Sect.
Senior Brother Yang smiled and said, "Junior brother, no one in the Nine Mountains Sect is blind, and everyone knows who has done what."
After saying that, he cupped his hands towards Zheng Fa and said, "I'm going back to prepare."
Zheng Fa looked at his back and was speechless for a moment.
A few days later.
Thunder Pool Market There was a clear bird song in the sky.
A Azure Luan spread its wings across the sky, holding an unattractive-looking person in its claws.
Azure Luan fell into Marketplace, transformed into a round-faced girl, and hurriedly ran into the Five-Dragon Heavenly Palace.
"Junior Brother Zheng! I'm coming!"
Senior Sister Yuan Before anyone arrived, an energetic and cheerful voice came into the house.
Zheng Fa smiled and walked out of the room, looking at the three people in front of him.
"Here! I brought you the person you need!"
Senior Sister Yuan pointed at Lin Bufan and Li Nuo.
Both of them looked a little pale, as if they were not feeling well along the way.
"Son."
"Junior brother Zheng."
The two looked at Zheng Fa with confusion on their faces.
Zheng Fa nodded lightly towards the two of them, without speaking to them, but asked Senior Sister Yuan: "Senior sister, I asked you to ask Master for more <Immortal Strife> Talisman Arrays, do you want them?"
"That old man is very stingy! He said he didn't have time and was working on a play." Senior Sister Yuan snorted and said, "But when I said you wanted it, he dumped me a lot."
She handed over a storage bag.
Zheng Fa opened it and saw that it was a complete set of talismans.
"Junior brother, why do you need so many talisman formations? You even asked Sect Leader to change the map to Thunder Pool."
Senior Sister Yuan looked at his satisfied expression and couldn't help but ask.
"Uncle-Master Pang is sending disciples to Thunder Pool. I want to give them some special training."
Explain the points clearly and focus before taking the exam to increase the passing (survival) rate.
Senior Sister Yuan understood immediately, clapped his hands and said, "That's fine, but why did you bring them here?"
"Extraordinary."
Zheng Fa turned to look at Lin Bufan. The expression on this man's face was very complicated. He didn't seem to expect to go home so soon.
"Sir, I have told you everything I can tell you about Great Freedom Demon Cult."
"I know."
Zheng Fa waved his hand, and the other party Soul Seal was with him. He may have some small thoughts, but his loyalty to Great Freedom Demon Cult is hard to say.
"That young master wants me to sneak into Great Freedom Demon Cult?" Lin Bufan's face turned pale, as if he suddenly realized something.
Senior Sister Yuan The two people looked a little sympathetic.
Anyone who does this thing will have a narrow escape from death.
What's more, who knows if Great Freedom Demon Cult has the means to identify traitors?
But on the other hand, apart from being unfriendly to Lin Bufan, this is really a good idea:
Nowadays, Nine Mountains Sect knows very little about Great Freedom Demon Cult. If someone can really get in, they might be able to directly find out the whereabouts of Senior Sister Zhang.
"You don't want to?"
Zheng Fa asked.
"Yes!" Lin Bufan gritted his teeth and said, "I only want one thing from you, Master."
"What's the matter?"
"If you encounter Lin Yangtian in the future and take his life, please go to my uncle's grave and let him know." Lin Bufan said in a low voice.
Senior Sister Yuan looked a little unbearable.
It seemed that he could hear the determination in his tone.
"We haven't reached that stage yet." Zheng Fa glanced at him, shook his head and said, "I asked you to come, you still want to participate in this special training."
Lin Bufan looked up, with a look of surprise and joy on his face.
"You are the test question."
"Ah?" Lin Bufan looked at Zheng Fa blankly, still not understanding.
"Every Nine Mountains Sect disciple who wants to participate in the attack on Great Freedom Demon Cult must adapt to your methods in <Immortal Strife> and kill you before leaving..."
Lin Bufan blinked his eyes and repeated, "Everyone?"
"Hmm."
"How many people are there in total?"
"...Uncle-Master Pang said the more the better."
"Sir! I am willing to infiltrate Great Freedom Demon Cult!"
"... Be good, your life is mine now, don't waste it."
"..."
Soothing... No, after forcing Lin Bufan to accept the reality, Zheng Fa turned to look at Li Nuo.
Li Nuo's eyes trembled when he saw him, and he hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I don't know Great Freedom Demon Cult's skills!"
"Senior Brother Li, what kind of Talisman Seals can you make with extraordinary blood now?"
