Chapter 371

Rumble, rumble—

At the North Gate of Shengjing, a carriage slowly drove into the city and stopped in the middle section of Yongan Street before long.

At this moment, the carriage curtain was lifted, and Seeing Ji You, Xiang Kuangcheng, and Wei Rui stepped down from the carriage one after another.

At that time, the entire Xicheng was very empty, and even the Taiping Tower located here had no customers.

In contrast, the East City and South City were bustling with people, and some even used spiritual energy to stand on the rooftops, looking at the Immortal Garden in the city.

At the same time, noisy sounds kept coming from that direction, and spiritual energy was vaguely flowing.

Seeing Ji You stood on the street at this time, tidying up his robe, which was slightly wrinkled from the ride, while looking far into the Xicheng.

All the taverns in the capital were his, and even the post stations were under the name of the Ji Village, so their news was extremely well-informed.

Long before they drove into Shengjing, they had received a message informing them that the three Southern Sects had joined forces with the Chen Clan and were discussing the Dao in Shengjing.

A long time had passed since the millennium-old aristocratic families joined forces to cause disaster. Except for the secluded Xuanyuan Immortal Mansion and the Pill Sect, the internal affairs of other Xian Sects had gradually stabilized, and they indeed needed to sit down and talk.

For example, how to deal with the Barbarian and Demon races, unite the aristocratic families, and quell internal strife.

After all, those who were truly in charge of this world had always been them.

In fact, the frequent disputes between aristocratic families over the past six months and the closed communication between provinces were largely because the Xian Sects had entered a state of semi-seclusion, temporarily loosening their authority to reorganize internally and no longer making public statements.

This made the aristocratic families feel as if they had lost their shackles, and at the same time, there were fewer rules to constrain them.

The reason why Seeing Ji You's land leasing went so smoothly in the early stages was because of this, and the sudden collapse in the later stages was because the Xian Sects suddenly issued an order.

This does not mean that the Xian Sects are kind characters who can stop the chaotic world, but that regardless of whether they lead Qingyun to heaven or push it into the abyss, at least their powerful authority can prevent people from acting on their own on the surface.

Therefore, it is indeed necessary for the Xian Sects to meet at this time.

Such a move can also give the ethnic group a reassurance under the situation where the Barbarian and Demon races occupy the You and Yun provinces.

The logic is that when the Xian Sects appear, there will naturally be sacred artifacts to protect our race, so there is no need to panic when things happen.

However, the time and place of this Dao discussion meeting are indeed somewhat intriguing.

According to the message, this Dao discussion meeting was initiated by the Asking Dao Sect, but it was not held in Yu Province but in Shengjing, especially after he had just snatched that bundle of immortal spirit.

Seeing Ji You pondered for a long time, then turned his head to look at Xiang Kuangcheng: "Is it quite lively?"

"Brother Ji should still be careful."

"No problem, just adapt to circumstances."

This is the disadvantage of not having reached the peak of combat power. He cannot sit in Fengzhou and remain unmoved while the situation changes, and he still needs to return to the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan to deal with things actively when they happen.

But this is much better than before. In the past, he killed the Immortal Village and built the Ji Village, and after returning, he could only hide inside the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan and dare not go out.

Saying goodbye to Xiang Kuangcheng and Wei Rui, Seeing Ji You walked forward.

"The finger technique of the Mountain and Sea Pavilion is swift, but its attack power is slightly insufficient, which is still different from the Asking Dao Sect."

"Indeed, the finger technique of the Asking Dao Sect is purer, and the aura is more terrifying, but the interval for activation is too long. If it is during actual combat, I fear it will leave flaws."

"That's not how it's said. In actual combat, you can't just use finger techniques to deal with the enemy. Can't you use other means to kill the enemy during the activation interval?"

"This... is true."

Amidst the discussions, everyone stared intently at the East Courtyard.

At this moment, on the ring, Huo Zhuoqun, a disciple of the Mountain and Sea Pavilion, was fighting with finger techniques against Shang Yu, a disciple of the Asking Dao Sect.

This Huo Zhuoqun had once served as a test subject for the Dao Fruit for the Mountain and Sea Pavilion. Since then, his cultivation base had advanced by leaps and bounds, and he had shone brilliantly at last year's Wandering Immortal Assembly. At the age of nineteen, he had already touched the threshold of the Realm of Merging with the Dao.

Outsiders did not know about his use of the Dao Fruit to rise in realm, regarding him as a newly emerged genius of the Mountain and Sea Pavilion.

And Shang Yu, who was competing against him, had a similar experience, also being a child of talent who had suddenly entered the public eye in just a year or two.

With the wild flow of spiritual energy, the two fought with finger light, trying their best to suppress the opponent head-on, already sweating and breathing heavily.

Among the Qingyun secret techniques, almost every family has its own finger technique.

Because finger techniques have fast attack speeds and are not weak in power.

However, some of these finger techniques practice the power of light and shadow, some follow the position of the four symbols, and some are woven by force fields, so there have always been disputes about which is stronger and which is weaker.

Among them, the Instant Finger of the Mountain and Sea Pavilion and the Six-Line Finger Sword of the Asking Dao Sect are recognized as the strongest, but who is stronger between them has been constantly disputed for thousands of years, making it a highly anticipated competition in the Dao discussion.

In fact, besides finger techniques, sword techniques, blade techniques, etc., all have this kind of confrontation to see who is better.

Some confrontations are based on Daoist explanations and the evolution of techniques.

The two people competing sit opposite each other, needing to convince the opponent that they are the strongest. It is a pure verbal battle, and most of them are difficult to distinguish between high and low, which is called a literary discussion.

Some young cultivators who like to watch intense confrontations feel puzzled and bored by this, not understanding why there is a literary discussion round every time they discuss the Dao if they cannot distinguish between high and low.

But what they don't know is that the victory or defeat of the literary discussion is actually the least important, and it is not what they want.

The importance of this form of confrontation is that an individual's understanding of the Heavenly Dao is one-sided and biased. In the process of continuous debate, both sides of the confrontation and even the spectators are very likely to be opened up to new ideas because of a new perspective, thereby perfecting their own techniques.

This is why the literary discussion is not exciting, but many old people flock to it.

And the confrontation between Huo Zhuoqun and Shang Yu is another form of competition that is different from the literary battle, a real confrontation of techniques, called martial fighting.

This is different from the confrontations at the Heavenly Dao Assembly and the Wandering Immortal Assembly. The contestants can only compete with the techniques of Dao discussion. Even if they lose, they cannot use other techniques. What is compared is not the individual's combat power, but the superiority or inferiority of the secret techniques.

At this moment, the finger technique confrontation between the two had reached the most intense process.

I saw a beam of immortal light roar out from Huo Zhuoqun's fingertips, fiercely blasting Shang Yu back with thick energy.

However, Shang Yu still withstood the finger technique with killing intent. While turning and moving, I saw a vast light roar down.

"Truly wonderful!"

"As expected of a genius child who walked out of the Xian Sect!"

Disciples of major aristocratic families and outer disciples of the Xian Sect were cheering one after another, and endless envy couldn't help but surge in their eyes.

However, at this moment, an aristocratic family disciple standing on the rooftop suddenly heard a burst of footsteps coming from the long street on the right rear side.

There is such a grand event in Shengjing, and it is hosted by the Xian Sect. Anyone with some cultivation has come to squeeze in to watch the battle, and mortals engaged in professions like peddlers and pawns cannot enter the city these days. Suddenly someone walking along the long street naturally makes people feel strange.

So this person quietly turned around to look, and saw a white-clothed figure with a sword coming from afar.

He didn't see clearly who the person was at first, until he used his spiritual sense, and his eyes gradually began to freeze.

And as he turned his head, many people also subconsciously turned around, one passing to two, two passing to three...

Gradually, everyone on the rooftop shifted their gaze, even if there was an intense finger technique confrontation in front of them, even if there was only someone walking plainly from afar on the city street on the right rear side.

"What are they looking at?"

"Someone is back."

In the spectator area, several family heirs sat and watched the battle. Hearing their elders speak, their expressions couldn't help but be slightly startled.

Spiritual sense leaving the body is a secret technique that can only be performed above the Spirit Travel Realm. Their realm is not enough, but unexpectedly, even if they didn't see it, they seemed to guess who it was.

So they got up and went to the second floor of the spectator building, looking far away across the wall.

And on the west side of the second floor, there was a woman in a fiery red immortal robe who seemed to have been watching on the second floor for a long time. Her phoenix eyes were as deep as a galaxy, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

"BOOM!!!!"

Amidst a burst of sound out of thin air, Huo Zhuoqun, a disciple of the Mountain and Sea Pavilion, suddenly waved his hand, and the finger light was wild.

Shang Yu of the Asking Dao Sect finally lost in the speed of casting, and was blasted and defeated off the stage, a trace of unwillingness appearing in his eyes.

Under the eyes of everyone, fighting for his own Xian Sect but losing, this is indeed somewhat shameful.

However, the next moment, he found that no one was watching the situation on the stage.

And Huo Zhuoqun's reaction was exactly the same as his, because he won the competition, he deliberately straightened his waist to the limit, stood at a forty-five-degree angle, and puffed out his chest proudly.

But what he didn't expect was that the cheers he imagined did not appear, but everyone's eyes shifted to the street outside the courtyard.

Even their Holy Son, Vice Abbot, Elders, etc., had an surprisingly consistent gaze.

In doubt, Huo Zhuoqun floated up, and then saw Seeing Ji You on the long street walking past the courtyard, heading toward Nishan.

Tearing open the Heavenly Dao sacrifice to kill the previous generation Xuanyuan Holy Son Chu Xian, and drawing his sword at the Sacred Land of the Sages to suppress and kill the Barbarian General King, at this moment, even if he does nothing, just walking is enough to attract all eyes.

Especially since many of them had only heard his name before and had never seen him, they were surprised to find that he was so young when they saw him face to face.

"Killing the Barbarian General King at the Sacred Land of the Sages under the situation of the joint attack of the two Demon and Barbarian generals, he was not injured?"

"It looks like he wasn't..."

Not many people knew the details of the Sacred Land of the Sages, especially the fact that Seeing Ji You fled after killing the General King, and there was no news of his state at that time.

And it was only then that they knew that Seeing Ji You had killed that General King without any injuries.

On the west side of the pavilion, Fang Jincheng and a group of Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciples also looked over.

Added to Princess Changle, as well as Yu Shiliu and others, their expressions were all complex and unspeakable.

At this time, Seeing Ji You had already stepped onto the Nishan Divine Path and walked into the interior of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan.

Back then, the Chu family evildoers came to the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan to seize the sacred artifact, causing the academy to be severely damaged, with many pavilions collapsing. Until Seeing Ji You set off to return to Fengzhou, both the inner and outer courtyards were still under repair.
