Soon after, a majestic figure cut through the sky and stood on a huge rock in Yingchoujian.
It was the leopard demon.
At this moment, the Leopard Demon was holding a Cloud-Piercing Spear and had a skull on his head. His voice resounded through the sky and was majestic.
His appearance immediately attracted the attention of many cultivators in Yingchoujian.
"Cang Yun Mountain has come here today to recruit talents. We don't look at the past or the future. As long as you have a skill, you can come and try to share the glory and wealth, work together for great cause, and become an immortal!"
Next to the Leopard Demon, Zuo Zimo, riding on a green ox, also flew over and complemented the Leopard Demon's words.
After the death of Sky-Devouring White Snake King, the group of dragons in Yingchou Gorge was leaderless, and those with powerful abilities had already escaped.
Became a guest of other forces.
The rest are monks who find it difficult to leave for various reasons.
In this chaotic world where the strong are respected, being able to join a powerful force means more protection and opportunities.
soon.
The news spread like the wind throughout Yingchoujian and even further.
Countless monks who were eager to change their fate gathered at Yingchoujian from all directions.
"It's the power of King Pengtian."
"You are wrong. King Pengtian has died a long time ago. The people who now occupy Cangyun Mountain are even more powerful."
"It's the old demon who practices the Great Demon Peng Method and hides himself away from the world."
"It is said that not long ago, the old demon appeared again and easily killed the Gua Fu Shuang Zhen of the Dayun Dynasty."
"They are all great masters of the Purple Mansion realm. Even in the Great Fortune Dynasty, they are at the top."
"This Cang Yun Mountain is so overbearing. They are acting so violently. Aren't they afraid of the invasion of the Jindan Master of the Dayun Dynasty?"
"I heard that the Jindan Zhenren of the Dayun Dynasty is worried about the matter of the imperial mausoleum. I'm afraid he doesn't have the energy to deal with them."
“Besides, this cultivator who practices the Great Demon Peng Method is so powerful, how do we know that he is not the Golden Core Ancestor?”
"Yes, he was able to kill the Purple Mansion Master so easily. Maybe he is really the Golden Core Ancestor."
"They are all cultivators of the same realm, so he naturally won't take those Jindan ancestors seriously."
……
The news that Cangyun Mountain was recruiting soldiers spread like wildfire, quickly spreading to the surrounding areas.
Those monks who had heard of the reputation of Cangyun Mountain began to discuss the new ruler.
My curiosity was completely aroused, and I wanted to find out what kind of methods this newly emerged Great Demon Peng Pharaoh demon had.
He was able to replace King Pengtian in a short period of time, occupy Cangyun Mountain, and establish a force more powerful than the former.
"Have you heard? The senior who practiced the Great Demon Peng Method is not as cruel as the legend says."
“I heard that even cultivators at the first level of Tongqi in Cangyun Mountain can receive spirit stones. Even the precious Leopard Demon Fist and Elephant Demon Fist have been passed down.”
"Not only that, it is said that he also recruits talented people. Regardless of race or origin, as long as they have the ability, they can find a place."
"I have a fellow Taoist who was originally just an ordinary hunter. By chance, he learned the method of cultivation and entered the realm of Tongqi."
"Now he has become a cook in Cangyun Mountain, managing dozens of people, and he is very powerful."
As time went by, more and more monks gathered in Yingchoujian.
The Leopard Demon took one look at the huge crowd and nodded unconsciously.
Most of these monks have mixed traditions. There are those who practice Taoism, those who practice witchcraft to control insects and use poison, and even quite a few Buddhist monks.
As for the cultivators who practice the two paths of demons and monsters, there are even more of them.
After all, these people are unruly, cruel and ruthless, and they are dissatisfied with the Dayun Dynasty.
It is the easiest to join various crusade forces.
But there were too many people coming, and Cangyun Mountain couldn’t accommodate them all.
He can only choose one by one.
Those below the eighth level of Qi ventilation are not accepted, as are the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled, and those without the potential for practice.
Those who are at the warrior level, or those who can master alchemy and talisman making, will pass unconditionally.
After all, too many monks were attracted by his conditions just now. Even though the conditions were harsh, the base number was too large.
After a round of selection, they actually selected hundreds of people, including seven or eight warriors.
Just as the Leopard Demon nodded, quite satisfied and ready to leave.
There were dark clouds in the distance, and then a huge creature like a dragon or a snake swayed its body, appeared among the clouds, and slowly lowered its head.
"Leopard Demon, you want to accept the power of the Sky-Swallowing Snake King, but have you obtained our consent?"
The leopard demon looked up.
There were two people sitting on the demonic python. One was a man wearing a black robe, with a stern face, and wearing a set of snake-scale soft armor.
The other is a woman in green clothes with sly eyes.
"They are the people of the Cangmu Jiao King."
The leopard demon's eyes instantly became sharp. The Cangmu Jiao King was very powerful and was one of the strongest among the thirty-eight rebel kings.
The most important thing is that there is a faint shadow of the East China Sea dragon clan behind it.
He is incomparable to the rebel kings like King Pengtian and King Tuntian White Snake.
The Jiaolong Taoist soldiers under his command are powerful and strictly disciplined, making countless forces fear them.
Nowadays, the Jiaolong clan is causing chaos on the southwest coast of the Dayun Dynasty, rushing into the water of the East China Sea, flooding several cities every day, and is the number one threat to the Dayun Dynasty.
However, the Leopard Demon felt that he had the support of the Demon Devouring City behind him.
In his opinion, although the sect has a small number of members, it is extremely powerful. The appearance of the Venerable this time also proves that these speculations are correct.
So he was not afraid at all.
"Humph, what about the people of Cangmu Jiaowang?"
The leopard demon snorted coldly, with disdain in his voice.
"Whoever dares to stop us will be our enemy!"
The demon snake rolled in the clouds and mist, making a deafening roar. Its power was so great that the surrounding air trembled.
It slowly descended, its huge body looming among the clouds, and finally landed steadily not far in front of the leopard demon.
The dragon's scales gleamed with metallic luster in the sun, and its eyes were like two burning fireballs, staring directly at the leopard demon, full of provocation.
"Leopard Demon, you dare to disobey the Dragon King. Do you know what kind of crime this is?"
The voice of the man on the dragon was like thunder, shaking the earth.
The corner of Leopard Demon's mouth curled up a sneer. He was not afraid of the dragon in front of him. He had practiced in Yalong Ridge for decades and was taken care of by Ye Yang. He had already achieved perfect martial arts cultivation and had several magical instruments of the real person realm in his hands.
Next to him is Zuo Zimo, a master of the left path.
This demon snake looks powerful, but in fact I am no match for it at all.
"Declare war? What a joke. When has Cang Yun Mountain ever been afraid of anyone? If Cang Mu Jiao Wan is really capable, let him come to my Demon Devouring Immovable City in person and see who will have the last laugh!"
The air was filled with a tense atmosphere, and a big war seemed to be about to break out.
At this tense moment, the Leopard Demon had another plan in mind.
He was well aware of the powerful strength of the Cangmu Jiao King.
It might be difficult to confront head-on with the power of Cang Yun Mountain alone, but they also have their own allies and trump cards.
At this moment, Cangyun Mountain has just made a name for itself. What he needs to do is to show a tough attitude and at the same time look for opportunities to unite with other forces to fight against the oppression of Cangmu Jiao King.
Otherwise, there is no way to develop and we will just be treated as a soft persimmon.
The leopard demon's tough attitude intimidated the two men.
"The Demon Devouring Immovable City?"
The name sounds familiar, but seeing how confident the Leopard Demon is, it might be hard to offend him.
"The Dragon King has just fought a battle with several Jindan cultivators in the Heavenly Court and has not yet recovered. The Demon Devouring Immovable City is so tough, I'm afraid it is very powerful. We should not cause any more trouble."
"go!"
There was a flash of anger in his eyes, but he did not attack the demon snake. Instead, he let out a low roar, then turned around and flew into the air, disappearing into the clouds.
The leopard demon looked at the direction where the dragon left, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Sure enough, it feels different to have someone to back you up."
The armies under the command of the Sky-Swallowing White Snake King were taken in one by one.
The smile on the leopard demon's mouth grew wider and wider.
And in the capital of Dayun Dynasty.
In a bustling restaurant that is tall enough to reach the sky.
A group of noble young men in expensive clothes were discussing heatedly.
Among them was Yuwen Yiyun, who had previously attracted attention outside the imperial mausoleum of the Dayun Dynasty.
"If you ask me, the ancestors of the Imperial Palace 'Heaven' should cut the Gordian knot and quickly kill these furry and horned people to put an end to their arrogance."
"What era is it now? They still dream of being high and mighty and becoming immortals who rule the world. How is that possible?"
"This world of the Dayun Dynasty was conquered by our ancestors. Even if their blood was drained, it would not be as noble as our urine."
"How could this world, this situation, fall into their hands again?"
"Yes, the last time Brother Yuwen used his Eight Desolations Supreme Art to great effect, Song Dexi, the Lone Pine in the Clouds, fled in panic without even a single move from him, and Mo Qingyun, the Lone Sword of the Northern Desert, was killed in one move."
"It's just that we were born a few decades later. Otherwise, how could those two masters of swords and sabers dare to fight on the top of Kyoto a few decades ago, defeat Dao Xinghe and leave calmly, without any of the warriors in the imperial dynasty daring to stop them."
"What the young prince said is very true. In the past, we did not have enough foundation. Now, after a hundred years of fighting, the Five Clans and Eight Families have built up a foundation. Apart from other things, which family does not have an ancestor of Tiangang Zhenren or Fashang Zhenren?"
"If it were placed in Yalong Ridge, it would be a large sect that ruled over an area..."
"This time, the cultivators from Yalong Ridge, Mobei, and Nanhuang invited us to come to Zhaixing Tower to see how we can dampen their arrogance."
"Hahaha, not bad, let's drink."
"The flowers will bloom three times in a while. I heard that the cold beauty under the moon, the shy girl of the Hundred Moons from Feitian Sect, and the Ice Fairy of Water Magic from Jiutian Sect are all here."
"These beauties were just captured to be concubines."
……
In a private room on the other side.
With a snap!
Someone stood up in anger.
"What a rampant family kid. Now we can finally see their style."
The person who said this was tall, dressed in green, with a golden knife and a silver sword on his back. He had an angry face and looked very aggressive.
Seeing this, a person nearby stretched out his hand and stopped him.
It is Song Dexi, the solitary pine in the clouds of Taixu Taoism.
“Brother Qingshan, I know you’re not convinced, but I’ve fought against these people before, and they’re very powerful.
"That fair-skinned young man is Yuwen Yiyun from the Heaven-Swallowing Marquis family. He has the Eight Desolations Supreme Skill and is extremely powerful. Don't be impulsive for now."
"Although you are currently ranked in the top 100 on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, I'm afraid you may not be his opponent."
Yu Qingshan snorted coldly, frowned and said.
"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Song, but these people are too arrogant and have insulted Feitian Sect. If I can't defeat one of them and teach them a lesson, it will be difficult to get rid of the hatred in my heart!"
As Yu Qingshan finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire private room suddenly became solemn.
Dong Feng, who was standing beside him, also frowned when he heard this.
He knew Yu Qingshan's character very well. He was extremely stubborn and once he made a decision, nothing could change it.
Yu Qingshan's words were quite loud.
The diners around all looked sideways, curiously and with a bit of awe at the young man's sudden outburst.
In the territory of Kyoto.
Not everyone has the courage to directly challenge the nobles.
"Brother Qingshan and the others are saying these things on purpose to provoke us to take action. We must not be fooled."
"Although these royal nobles are arrogant, they have powerful forces behind them. If a conflict breaks out among the young monks from all over the country, it will not be a good thing for us."
Song Dexi persuaded in a low voice, a hint of worry revealed in his words.
After hearing this, Yu Qingshan sneered and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Song, you and I both know that the Great Fortune Dynasty has always been inconsistent in what it says and what it means. It claims to seek welfare for the people and plan for the future of the people, but it labels those of us who practice Taoism as evil demons and monsters."
"But in fact, they appear to be righteous on the surface, but they are actually petty thieves and whores behind the scenes. These five surnames and eight families occupy most of the resources, so there is no room for ordinary low-level cultivators to rise."
"If we keep giving in, they will only become more arrogant."
"Besides, they insulted my senior from Feitian Sect and even Senior Sister Huo. This time, I want to let them know that Feitian Sect is not a lamb to be slaughtered!"
……
Dear big guys, please give me another monthly ticket.
