A group of more than 30 people showed up.
Among them were more than ten Elders of the Bright Jade Branch, and all of them were Earthly Immortals. These Earthly Immortals could not be compared to the twenty Earthly Immortals who had come with Zhan Zhiming. Most of those Earthly Immortals were False Earthly Immortals who had taken shortcuts and relied on luck to become so. Their foundations were not stable, and they were only False Earthly Immortals. However, these Earthly Immortals had cultivated step by step to become Earthly Immortals. In other words, before the Mandate of Heaven had arrived nine years ago, they were already Earthly Immortals and could be considered real Earthly Immortals.
What was more frightening was that there were not only several Earthly Immortals who had been reincarnated through possession, but also several Dixian.
They might not be from Chi Xiao, but when the demons and devils were in chaos in antiquity times, they all joined the Red Mingyu Branch and made great contributions to quell the chaos. Some of them were not Elders of the Mingyu Branch, but later they betrayed their former Branch and joined the Mingyu Branch, worshipping the black-hearted master Zhou Taihe.
One of the Dixian, whose Taoist name was Jin Wu, used to be an Elder of the Mountain River Branch, and he had a good relationship with Feng Xu, Elder Luo Yi, Heng San, and others. Unfortunately, for various reasons, he joined the Mingyu Branch.
As for the reason, it was very complicated.
Maybe it was for the future, or maybe it was for his family.
As for Jin Wu's departure, although Feng Xu, Elder Luo Yi, and others were very reluctant, they did not have any resentment. Everyone had their own aspirations, and they never forced others.
In addition to the dozen Earthly Immortals, the remaining dozen or so people were from Chi Xiao, who were in charge of the Mingyu Branch.
Different from the Chi Xiao men in the Mountain River Branch, the twenty Chi Xiao men in the Mingyu Branch were all Earthly Immortals. They all became Earthly Immortals in modern times, and they all became Earthly Immortals in just a few years after they joined Zhou Taihe. This was one of the fundamental reasons why nearly fifty Chi Xiao men in the Yan Luo Kingdom joined Zhou Taihe.
Back then, when Zhou Taihe was roping in Old Man Feng Xu and the others, he had said that as long as they joined him, he would guarantee that all the Chi Xiao people in the Mountain River Branch would become Earthly Immortals within five years.
Even though Old Man Feng Xu and the others were very tempted, and they didn't know what kind of miraculous elixirs Zhou Taihe had, they still rejected it in the end.
The reason was simple.
They didn't want to betray the Lord Black Buddha, nor did they want to betray the two words Chi Xiao, nor did they want to do anything that would let the King down.
The leader of the Mingyu Branch was none other than the Banner Master of the Mingyu Branch, Tan Tong, who was under the black-hearted master of the Chi Xiao Sect, Zhou Taihe.
Since he was the Banner Master of the Chi Xiao Sect, he was naturally not an ordinary person. In fact, this was indeed the case. Like Old Man Feng Xu, Tan Tong had already become an Earthly Immortal in antiquity times. Since he followed Zhou Taihe in modern times, his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds. It was said that today, not only had he merged with the Blood Evil Dragon Elephant, but he had also become an Earthly Immortal with 81 combinations. His strength was absolutely unfathomable.
This time.
A total of more than twenty False Earthly Immortals led by Zhan Zhiming came to the Mingyu Branch.
There were also more than twenty Heavenly Sons of Creation with the strength of Earthly Immortals led by Lian Hao, Shang Gong, and Zhong Xing.
There were more than ten Dixian with extraordinary strength and more than ten Chi Xiao Sect members with the cultivation of Earthly Immortals.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that they could annihilate the Mountain River Branch today. Even if the 100,000 disciples of the Mountain River Branch were gathered at Mount Fengxu, they were still too weak to contend with an Earth Immortal. Not to mention the others, Lian Hao's Creation of Ice alone could turn the area within a hundred meters into a world of ice. How could a Dharma Laksana Venerable fight with him?
The more than ten Chi Xiao Sect members of the Mountain River Branch were also no match for Tan Tong and the other Chi Xiao Sect members. Liuyue's strength might be unfathomable, but no matter how unfathomable it was, it might not be able to defeat the powerful lineup of the Mingyu Branch today.
Pay a visit?
If it was really as simple as paying a visit, why would the Mingyu Branch send so many masters?
"Brother Fengxu, my fellow Chi Xiao Sect members, it's been a long time!"
Tan Tong's appearance was not as old as Old Fengxu's. He looked like a middle-aged man with a radiant face. He was dressed in a luxurious robe and had a calm temperament. He had the demeanor of a master. He walked slowly, cupped his fists, and greeted the Chi Xiao Sect members of the Mountain River Branch with a smile on his face. He looked very friendly.
Since Tan Tong did not come with good intentions, the Chi Xiao Sect members of the Mountain River Branch naturally did not treat him well. However, Fengxu still nodded and cupped his fists in greeting. After all, they were Chi Xiao Sect brothers who had shed blood together in the ancient times. Even if they became enemies in the ancient times, even if they were to fight each other later, Old Fengxu would still do what he should do. He would not miss out on the necessary etiquette. Not only that, he even invited them into the main hall and arranged seats for them.
Of course.
There were not many people who were qualified to sit on this occasion.
On the Mingyu Branch side, only Tan Tong and more than ten Chi Xiao Sect members and more than ten Dixian Sect members sat down. In addition, the more than 20 False Earth Immortals and even the 20 Creation Realm Heaven's prides, including Lian Hao, Shang Gong, and Zhong Xing, could only stand.
Since the Mingyu Branch side was like this, the Mountain River Branch side was no exception. After Old Fengxu, Great Elder Luo Yi, and other Chi Xiao Sect members sat down, the hundred or so Elders of the Mountain River Branch also stood obediently. Even the unfathomable Heaven's prides like Liuyue was also standing. Although she was the grand-disciple of the Lord Black Buddha, according to seniority, she was only a junior.
However.
On both sides, besides the old Chi Xiao Sect members sitting down, there seemed to be a young man sitting on a chair at this moment.
It was a man in white.
He was a young man who had neither cultivation nor fortune. He had nothing, and his body looked extremely weak. He leaned his body slightly against the right armrest, crossed his legs, and sat there casually, sipping wine from time to time.
Seeing this man.
Old Man Feng Xu, Chi Xiao's people, and Liuyue's expressions all changed slightly. Just now, they were so focused on dealing with the people from the Mingyu branch that they completely forgot about this person. They originally thought that this person would tactfully leave on his own, but no one expected that this liar who pretended to be the King was still sitting in the main hall.
What to do?
Chasing him away now?
It was too late.
Now that the people from the Mingyu branch were in the main hall, why did they suddenly chase him away? This was a little too laughable and absurd.
But what if he didn't chase him away?
Was he going to allow him to pretend to be the King?
In this kind of situation, and in front of the Mingyu branch? Wouldn't this be a joke? Those who knew would think that the Mountain River Branch was afraid, so they invited a person to pretend to be the King to boost their courage.
And this guy was still sitting on a chair at this moment. It seemed that he really intended to continue pretending to be the King.
Liuyue looked at Old Man Feng Xu. Old Man Feng Xu also didn't know what to do for a moment.
At this time, the people from the Mingyu branch seemed to have noticed the existence of Gu Qingfeng. Seeing him sitting on a chair, they were also quite curious.
