casket of old days

Chapter 785
On a small island in the East China Sea, believers of the Sacred Fire Sect were praying in the direction of the sacred fire of the sun and moon in the center of the island, doing their homework once a day.

Duan Xuyan, the protector of the Sacred Fire Sect, once again set foot on the Sun Moon Island, feeling filled with emotion.

He also didn't expect that he originally followed Prince Daxia, but was later arrested by Chu Qiguang to work with Prince Daxia, and now there is such a day that he can return to the Holy Fire Sect.

But thinking about Chu Qiguang's order, he felt pressure again.

The island naturally welcomed Duan Xuyan's arrival very much, and many congregants thought that the apologist had died outside.

The master of the Holy Fire Sect is a middle-aged man with a long beard.

He was wearing a white robe, looked at Duan Xuyan in front of him, and asked about Duan Xuyan's experience abroad.

When he heard that the other party was actually sent by Chu Qiguang to be a lobbyist, the suzerain said displeasedly: "This Chu Qiguang is really very powerful, and he is going to kill the four great families, the two great schools, and the three major sects in just a few words." Everyone shouted, this scene is bigger than Yong'an in my opinion."

Duan Xuyan asked: "Sect Master, you don't plan to go there?"

The head of the Holy Fire Sect said indifferently: "My religion has been passed down for thousands of years, but it is listed as a cult by the Han court. He is now a court official calling us to go there. Do you think we will obediently follow his orders and rush over there?"

Duan Xuyan asked again: "Sovereign, have you broken into the realm of manifesting spirit now?"

The Sect Master of the Holy Fire Sect sighed: "The "Vaya Canon" of our religion is not so easy to break, but it has been a lot of effort in the past year, and it should not be far from breaking the mirror."

Duan Xuyan said: "Besides himself, Chu Qiguang has at least one other person who has stepped into the realm of manifesting spirits, and there are more than ten fingers of masters."

The Sect Master of the Holy Fire Sect was slightly taken aback, stroked his beard and said, "... so many?"

Duan Xuyan added: "He also created the No.20 Six Righteous Methods...that Taoism is very evil."

"When he was in Shuzhou, Chu Qiguang had already defeated two great masters in a row by himself. Now his cultivation base is even more unfathomable..."

Duan Xuyan told about the battle in Night City, and the Sect Master of the Holy Fire Sect listened very carefully.

"Moreover, the thing about the monster race outside the territory is probably true, and the Central Plains will be in chaos."

"When the time comes, the world will be in chaos and there will be another great battle. I think this big man is exhausted. We, the Holy Fire Sect, should also prepare in advance."

Duan Xuyan finally said: "Sovereign, our Holy Fire Sect should go to the meeting on the fifth day of June."

After a moment of silence, the Sect Master of the Holy Fire Sect asked, "No."

Duan Xuyan said anxiously: "Sect Master..."

The Sect Master of the Holy Fire Sect said: "The fifth day of June is too late."

"Come on, I'll go with you to visit the door in person."

……

The main altar of the Baiyang Sect.

The current leader of the Baiyang Sect is a thin man. He came to a quiet room and said to it: "Brother Ji, Chu Qiguang has invited all the sects in the southeast to gather on the fifth day of June. It should be you The so-called joint discussion on the plan to fight against demons."

A month ago, Ji Haoran returned to the southeast with two divine swords in his hand, and swept away all the heroes in the clan with his outstanding skills in "Qingyang Water Calamity" and "Red Sun Fire Calamity", and took back the remaining several divine swords in turn.

Then, relying on the relationship between Baiyangjiao and the Daxia royal family, they reached a cooperative relationship with Baiyangjiao to advance and retreat together.

After that, he took a few mouthfuls of the Great Xia Excalibur and began to retreat, but it still hasn't come out until now.

The leader of Baiyang Sect said: "I also want to see what kind of demeanor this genius who can compete with Huang Daoxu is."

"It's just that he acted too domineeringly. I'm afraid many people are waiting to see his jokes this time."

"Brother Ji, what do you think our attitude should be?"

From the direction of the secret room, Ji Haoran's voice came slowly: "If I haven't been able to understand the mystery of the Divine Sword before the fifth day of June, then I will cooperate with Chu Qiguang."

The leader of the Baiyang Sect said with interest: "What if you can understand it?"

There seemed to be some changes in Ji Haoran's voice: "Then I am more suitable for integrating Southeast than Chu Qiguang."

"At that time, Chu Qiguang will be defeated first, and then Huang Daoxu will be defeated. I will take charge of the overall situation of fighting against demons."

……

Donghai Prefecture.

On a big boat outside Siming Wharf.

Among the many families in the southeast, apart from the Hua family and the Wen family, the Cao family and the Li family are the most powerful.The business of these two companies covers many fields such as silk, salt industry, money bank, grain and so on.

He also secretly formed a fleet to go to sea. He is both a pirate and a sea merchant, and even has connections with the Dragon Clan.

At this moment, the two heads of the Cao family and the Li family gathered together.

"This Chu Qiguang is too arrogant. He wants to command the heroes with one sentence? Does he think that he is invincible in the world when he manifests his spirit?"

"The monster race from outside the territory... Huh, the dragon race has been repelled by us, so what about the so-called monster race from outside the territory?"

"The monster race outside the territory is said to be from the west, and they can't hit the southeast if they want to fight. It should be a matter of the northwest and the nine sides. What does it have to do with us?"

Although Chu Qiguang had made An Yiyun and Ji Haoran disclose the threat from the monster clan outside the region in advance, most of the powerhouses in the southeast, especially the high-level executives of several major families, didn't care about it.

In the southeast, Huang Daoxu and Tianshijiao are the first to sit in town, and they are the biggest patron saints of the three southeastern states.

Secondly, in addition to Huang Daoxu, there are also people from the Donghai School and the Guishan School who have practiced the Dharma.

Coupled with the fact that the Dragon Clan was beaten to retreat, the powerhouses in the southeast were inflated with confidence.

What's more, if the western monsters want to fight over, they will first attack the north. Naturally, the imperial court and the Nine Sides will find a way to resist.

The Patriarch of the Cao family said, "I've already got through with a high-skilled mage taught by the Celestial Master. The Celestial Master will not allow Chu Qiguang to mess around."

The Patriarch of the Li family nodded and said, "I have also asked about the Donghai School. We must advance and retreat together at the meeting, and we will not let Chu Qiguang do anything wrong."

An elder behind said: "I'm afraid that Chu Qiguang's doing this is the emperor's intention? Could it be that he wants to use the name of a monster clan outside the territory to come to the southeast to collect taxes?"

"Hmph, then it's even more impossible to let him get his wish."

"The three states in the southeast are rich in humanities and rich in the world. If Chu Qiguang acts arbitrarily and recklessly, it will shake the destiny of the country."

……

Although Chu Qiguang set the meeting time on the fifth day of June next month.

But many things were turbulent long before the conference.

No one wants to wait until the opening day of the conference to act accordingly. All kinds of preparations, actions, temptations, and alliances have already started.

But under the surveillance of many outsiders, Chu Qiguang, who stirred up the situation, didn't seem to take it seriously.

He lived in seclusion in the Qianhu House all day long, and he didn't care about the changes in the external situation.

Another month passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the morning of the fifth day of June.

Chu Qiguang put down the ancient books collected from Qianhu in Donghai Prefecture, and with a slight warming in his chest, the number of profound gifts exceeded 1200, which was one point closer to his breakthrough to the realm of Tongsheng.

He turned his head to look at Jinnu who was at the side, and asked, "Is everyone here?"

"Sacred Fire Sect lived next door to you last night, and was the first one to arrive this morning."

"The Four Great Aristocratic Families and the two schools of Guishan and Donghai have already arrived."

"People from Baiyang Sect have also arrived."

"Only Tianshijiao has no one present."
