When the young taoist heard the words, he smiled softly and said,
"Since your president is not here, the Changfeng Association will naturally be in the hands of the two of you. Since the matter of the Golden Jade League has become a big deal, we might as well put this matter on the table publicly. Since all the guests present are the pillars of your association, I think you are also qualified to know the details. "
When Fan Zheng and Qu Ling heard the words, their faces changed. After looking at each other, they nodded slowly.
Then Fan Zheng took a deep breath, stood up again, cupped his fist and said to Liu Ming and others,
"Today, I gather everyone here to introduce this envoy from Purple Night Temple to you, and there is one more thing to discuss with you." Fan Zheng saw that everyone had sat down, so he stood up and said loudly.
"I think everyone has heard of it. There was originally a water jade vein mine in the Golden Bamboo Island within the sphere of influence of our association. The mineral deposits had been mined out more than ten years ago. It's just that recently, someone accidentally discovered an elixir production area in the depths of this vein mine. There are several rare and precious medicinal materials growing in it. There are many of them that have a thousand years of maturity. "
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused a burst of whispering among the guests.
Fan Zheng paused, then he continued with a solemn face,
"After our association learned of this, we immediately sent several hall masters with a group of people to investigate, but I don't know how this news spread out. The Golden Jade League also sent several Condensation State hall masters to the Golden Bamboo Island at the same time, and they claimed that they were the first to discover the elixir production area here. The two sides have been confronting for several months, but they are afraid of damaging the elixir in the battle, so there is no large-scale battle for the time being. "
As Fan Zheng spoke, he slowly swept his gaze over all of the guests before finally settling his gaze on the purple-robed Daoist priest on the main seat. Only then did he respectfully cup his fist in a salute as he asked,
He cupped his fist and asked respectfully, "Not long ago, our association has sent an envoy to report to Purple Night Temple. I wonder if sir envoy has brought the temple's reply this time?"
The purple-robed taoist looked at Fan Zheng, whose eyes were shining, and he just replied with a faint smile,
"Don't worry, we have communicated with the Tianxiang Pavilion about this matter. Of course, we will not let Changfeng Association suffer a loss. After discussion between our two clans, we've finally decided to let both of you have a duel. As for the way of gambling, you and the Golden Jade League will each send three Condensation State members for a life and death battle. The winner will not only get this spiritual medicine production area, but also one-third of the loser's territory. "
Fan Zheng and Qu Ling, the two Vice Guild Leaders, were taken aback when they heard this. Then, awkward expressions appeared on their faces.
The eyes of the others present were also flickering indeterminately. No one knew what they were thinking.
Seeing this, Xin Yuan blinked his eyes, turned to the person next to him and whispered,
"Brother Guanyu, since it is decided by gambling, why do the two vice presidents look so ugly? Could it be that our Changfeng Association is not as good as them, and we have no chance of winning?"
Guanyu Wen, who looked like a young master, smiled bitterly and replied in a low voice with a hint of helplessness.
"If we really want to bet, I'm afraid our chances of winning are really not high! Brother Xin doesn't know that the Golden Jade League has a disciple who is at the Condensation Period intermediate stage. However, this person is talented, and his spiritual power is extremely strong. He once killed an opponent of the Condensation Period later stage. I'm afraid no one here can defeat him, and the Golden Jade League has five or six Condensation Period later stage cultivators, which is far better than our Changfeng Association. "
Although Guanyu lowered his voice, the people present were all Condensation State cultivators, so how could they not hear it. The others looked at each other, and the two vice presidents couldn't help but look gloomy.
Seeing this situation, the purple-robed man's expression remained unchanged, but the contempt hidden deep in his eyes couldn't help but increase a little.
"Haha, since we want to bet, why would our Changfeng Association be afraid of the Golden Jade League? Just agree!"
At this moment, someone suddenly said with a laugh outside the hall.
As soon as the voice sounded, a figure flashed outside the hall, and three people walked in.
The person in front looked like a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard. He was wearing a green robe with a green jade crown on his head. He was smiling with a smile on his face.
"Sir President!" When Fan Zheng saw the person, he immediately exclaimed, then he stood up happily and greeted him at the door.
Qu Ling, who was next to him, also followed with surprise and joy.
The other guests, except for the three newcomers such as Liu Ming, everyone else also got up and saluted respectfully from a distance after being shocked. They kept saying "President".
"The person who came is actually the Changfeng Association's president who has been missing for several years!"
Seeing this situation, Liu Ming was greatly surprised, but after a glance, he looked at the two people who came in behind the Changfeng Association's president. They were a man and a woman.
The man was dressed in black. His face was sallow, and his small eyes were dull. His appearance was really ugly, but judging from his aura, he was at the Condensation Period later stage. He looked at everyone present with a proud expression.
The woman's cultivation was only at the Condensation Period early stage, but she was graceful. Her black hair was hanging to her waist. She was actually a rare beauty!
Liu Ming looked at the appearance of this woman. She was quite similar to the Changfeng Association's president, but after a quick thought, he stood up and bowed slightly like the others.
Xin Yuan and Guanyu also stood up and bowed with a surprised look on their faces.
The Changfeng Association's president was greeted by Fan Zheng and Qu Ling. Under the attention of everyone in the hall, they walked toward the main seat with the young man and woman behind them.
When the young man saw the appearance of the Changfeng Association's president, although there was a hint of surprise on his face, he did not show any loss of composure. He just got up and said respectfully,
"Congratulations to President Feng for returning to the Changfeng Association. Senior has not been heard from for several years, which is really worrying. If the abbot knows about this, he will be overjoyed. However, since Senior has already returned, I presume that you already have a well-thought-out plan for this battle, right? "
Feng Zhan's eyes flashed, and he said with a chuckle,
"Envoy, you must be joking. I just don't want people to look down on our Changfeng Association, so I agreed to this bet. However, let's not talk about this first. Let me introduce to you. This is my daughter, Feng Cai. We were separated when I traveled the Middle Sky Continent when I was a child. We just met a few days ago because of a coincidence. My daughter is currently in the Five Spirits Sect of Xuanwu Mountain. Next to her is my daughter's senior fellow apprentice, Wei Zhong. "
The woman named "Feng Cai" smiled at the young man. Her smile was as charming as a flower, which made the young man a little absent-minded for a while.
Seeing this, the young man in black clothes snorted coldly and did not step forward to greet.
When everyone present heard the words "Zhongtian Five Spirits Sect", they couldn't help but take a deep breath. Their eyes looking at the man in black clothes were full of surprise and doubt.
The name of the Five Spirits Sect could be said to be known to almost everyone present!
It was one of the real major sects in the Middle Sky Continent. It had thousands of years of inheritance, and there were countless experts in the sect. It was not comparable to the so-called overseas Sect such as Purple Night Temple and Tianxiang Pavilion.
Although Liu Ming heard of this Sect for the first time, seeing this situation, how could he not know that this Five Spirits Sect was not a trivial matter.
Seeing this, Xin Yuan, who was next to him, was even more interested.
"It turns out that you two are the disciples of the Five Spirits Sect. I'm Yang Sheng, the disciple of Elder Yu Yin of Purple Night Temple. Speaking of which, my Purple Night Temple and the Five Spirits Sect also have a lot of intersection. I wonder which disciple of the Five Spirits Sect is Brother Wei's disciple? " As soon as the young man heard the name of the Five Spirits Sect, his heart shuddered. He immediately woke up from the beauty in front of him. He immediately put on a smile and cupped his fist.
"Hmph!"
Wei Zhong glanced at the young man in purple robe coldly, but he still didn't say a word.
The young man in purple robe was rebuffed, but his face was as usual. Instead, he smiled, then he turned to Feng Zhan and said,
"Since Senior Feng's daughter has already joined the Five Spirits Sect, I think the matter of the gambling fight is already in the bag. Then I will go back to report and confirm the time of the fight."
"In that case, have a safe trip! Fan Zheng, you send the guest off for me. "After Feng Zhan nodded, he didn't intend to keep him anymore, and he instructed Fan Zheng next to him.
Although Fan Zheng was the deputy president of the Changfeng Association, he didn't show any reluctance at this moment. He immediately agreed and personally sent Yang Sheng out of the hall.
Feng Zhan watched the young man walk out of the hall accompanied by Fan Zheng, then he turned around and walked to the main seat in a few steps. At the same time, he gestured for everyone to sit down. His daughter and the young man in black followed closely behind him, standing side by side on both sides.
Feng Zhan's gaze slowly swept across the hall. After seeing that everyone had sat down again, he smiled slightly and spoke with a kind expression.
"Everyone, I have been traveling for these years and haven't returned. Thank you for taking care of the affairs of the association."
"What are you talking about, president? These are all our duties. On the contrary, our association has been in conflict with the Golden Jade League in the past few years, and we have lost a lot of strength … I feel uneasy in my heart." Qu Ling hurriedly stood up and said with a wry smile.
Feng Zhan's eyes flickered slightly. He waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to be too polite, then he said,
"This matter is nothing at all. We have a long way to go. Let's take our time to think about it. By the way, are these all newly promoted guests? "
Feng Zhan said as he glanced at the new faces such as Liu Ming, Xin Yuan, and Guanyu.
"Greetings, president."
Liu Ming and the others hurriedly got up and bowed to him.
"Good, very good! You don't have to be too polite. I'm grateful that you can join our Changfeng Association when it is in danger. But now is different from the past. Our Changfeng Association is in sight at this moment. We still need your help in the future. We will definitely thank you in the future. "Feng Zhan said so with a faint smile on his face.
"Thank you, president. I will definitely do my best to help." Guanyu couldn't help showing a hint of excitement when he heard this.
These casual cultivators joined the Changfeng Association because of the generous recruitment conditions here. Previously, seeing the situation of the Changfeng Association, there were a lot of people who wanted to leave.
Now that the president of the Changfeng Association had returned, and he even climbed up the big tree of the Five Spirits Sect, this naturally made the guests like Guanyu who had not left feel lucky.
Although Liu Ming and Xin Yuan had their own thoughts in their hearts, they naturally promised at this time.
"Okay, let's call it a day. After I finish dealing with some things in the association, I will come back to entertain you when I have time." Feng Zhan seemed to be very satisfied with the answers of Liu Ming and others, then he announced with a laugh.
