Chapter 321 Hongya Cave

A few days passed, and Dao Sect's enthusiasm for discussing Lin Changqiang finally faded away. After all, no matter how sensational the news was, he was ultimately just a direct disciple, and it was impossible for him to make any fundamental changes to the lives of his disciples.

In response to this, Lin Changqiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not move out of Lin Dong's house. The two of them sometimes practiced, sometimes sparred, sometimes visited Wudao and others, and sometimes formed a group to do the tasks of the master. It was quite leisurely.

During a mission, he even learned from his disciples that Ying Huanhuan had quietly joined the Deserted Palace, but after joining in a hurry, he immediately fled to the place where Ying Xiaoxiao was practicing, for fear of staying for another second, which made him laugh.

From a universal point of view, the original bet only required Ying Huanhuan to join Huang Palace and to call him "senior brother" when he saw him. There was no rule that he had to call him actively, so it was considered a loophole.

In the softly lit martial arts hall, Lin Changqiang, sitting cross-legged in front of the chessboard, placed a piece. Gu Mo in front of him suddenly fell into hesitation.

Compared to playing chess, he actually prefers practicing, but since he had just finished practicing and Gu Mo invited him, he naturally would not refuse.

But the poor old man probably never imagined that his opponent had actually studied systematically in another world.

"There are fewer people coming to the Martial Arts Hall today."

After thinking for a long time, Gu Mo said it casually, causing Lin Changqiang to break away from his memories of AlphaGo. He looked around and found that the Martial Arts Hall, which had been crowded recently due to the approaching palace examination, was actually much emptier today.

"Did something happen?"

"People from Hongya Cave came to visit, and many disciples ran to watch the fun."

"Visiting? What's so interesting about this?" Lin Changqiang was a little curious.

In his impression, this kind of visit is usually a meeting between the top leaders of both sides, and the disciples should avoid it as much as possible.

"The forces in the Eastern Xuan Territory are complicated. Although the eight major sects are the most powerful, it is impossible for other sects to be without ambition."

"The Hongya Cave we are visiting this time is the sect closest to our Dao Sect. Even though there are only a few people in the sect who have reached the Perfection of the Profound Death Realm, they are still considered the strongest among other sects."

At this point, Gu Mo couldn't help but reveal a hint of sarcasm on his face: "Every time they visit, they will bring outstanding disciples to challenge, under the pretext of friendly exchanges. If they lose, they will claim to have a close relationship with Dao Sect, taking advantage of the power of the tiger. If they win, they will publicize it vigorously to attract people to join. This is also the way for those small sects to survive."

"Among the eight major sects, only the Sword Sect, the Wan Kui Sect, and the Honghuang Palace are rarely visited like this. Our Dao Sect and the Jiutian Taiqing Palace turn a blind eye. The Shen Sect and the Fu Sect are eager to absorb disciples from them. Even the Yuan Sect rarely refuses because of face."

Hearing this, Lin Changqiang nodded and finally understood. He said no more. But just as he picked up a piece and was about to put it down, a sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came from a distance. He turned his head and saw that it was Mo Ling, whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Disciple Mo Ling, meet the elder." Mo Ling's breathing was a little rapid at this moment, but he still bowed respectfully to Gu Mo first. Seeing Gu Mo nodded, he looked at Lin Changqiang with an anxious look on his face, "Changqiang, do you know about the matter in the front hall?"

"Front hall?"

Thinking about what Gu Mo had just said, Lin Changqiang understood but also felt a little confused.

"Can't even Senior Sister Ying Xiaoxiao handle the disciples who came to challenge Hongya Cave this time?"

"How is that possible?" Mo Ling was somewhat helpless. "The palace examination is approaching, and most of the direct disciples are in seclusion. The strongest one left is Senior Sister Ying Huanhuan, but no matter how strong she is, she can't fight five alone."

"We lost two of the three games that have ended. We sent Senior Sister Huan Huan in the fourth game because we had to win. However, the opponent's strongest player did not play. They only sent the second strongest player who was good at defense. Deputy Hall Master Wu Dao immediately asked me, Man Shan, and Du Yun to go to the Martial Arts Hall and your and Lin Dong's residence to ask for your help. You two should be there to keep the peace."

Tian Ji's horse racing?

Lin Changqiang nodded and looked at Gu Mo, only to find that the old man had put away his chess pieces. "..."

“This group of cunning guys must have chosen this time on purpose. Lin Dong is still training, so the fifth match is up to you.” The old man put away the chessboard and said sternly, “Don’t hold back, just teach them a lesson. I’ll take responsibility for anything that happens!”

Because Mo Ling was still there, Lin Changqiang didn't laugh after all. He stood up and began to perform teleportation, but before leaving, he couldn't help but say.

“I can review it.”

With a flicker of light, Lin Changqiang's figure disappeared from the spot, leaving Mo Ling and Gu Mo staring at each other in bewilderment...

Dao Sect occupies a very vast area, and the entire vast palace complex in the front is used to entertain guests. On weekdays, most disciples do not come here, but once a larger force comes to visit, many people will come to watch the fun.

Among the numerous temples, there are many huge platforms for people to use for competition. Now one of the platforms is crowded with people, and occasionally there are noisy sounds mixed with anger.

"Oh!"

Lin Changqiang's figure fell from the sky onto the platform, making a noticeable sound. Eyes gathered one after another, and then all the disciples couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, with joy appearing on their faces.

"Brother Longspear!"

"Senior Brother Longspear is here!"

Looking at those faces that seemed to have seen a savior, Lin Changqiang nodded slightly and looked towards the field.

From his position, he could just see a familiar figure dancing like a butterfly, with the emerald green zither in front of him making ripples. It was obvious that the opponent was not weak.

Hearing the disciples' cheers, the girl subconsciously glanced sideways with the corner of her eye. Her fair face immediately flushed slightly. She lowered her head slightly, but was flustered by the sudden attack. Then she quickly turned around and faced the enemy seriously.

Did you think about calling him senior brother later?

Lin Changqiang's mouth curled up with a hint of pride. When he noticed that many disciples were looking at him, he straightened his expression and looked towards Hongya Cave calmly.

Ying Huanhuan's opponent was also a woman. She was wearing a light blue dress, had a tall figure and a pretty appearance. However, her expression was obviously a little ugly at the moment, as if she didn't want to lose to Ying Huanhuan but had no choice.

Her weapon is a sky-blue whip, which she swings continuously like a water snake. Her defense is impeccable and she seldom attacks, but every time she attacks, the trajectory is tricky and the sound is as fast as lightning, making people not want to be hit even by her.

It's just a pity that Ying Huanhuan had just broken through to the Eight Yuan Nirvana not long ago. Coupled with the advantages of Taoist techniques and martial arts, no matter how hard the woman tried, it was estimated that she could only make Ying Huanhuan spend more effort.

"That girl is Song Yan, who ranks second among the younger generation of Hongya Cave. Although she is not as good as Huo Zhen, who ranks first, she is also an Eight Yuan Nirvana, which is comparable to many of our direct disciples."

Wudao's voice sounded in his ears, and Lin Changqiang remained calm. He looked in the direction of Hongya Cave not far away, but saw two old men in gray clothes in front of the team, smiling at the two people sparring in the field. They had a cliff-shaped pattern embroidered on their chests, and they were obviously from Hongya Cave.

Behind them, a man in black was standing with his arms folded across his chest, a smug smile on his face.

His aura is stronger than the woman in the field, and is even slightly close to the Nine Yuan Nirvana. This strength is not much inferior to Qingye of the Earth Palace and Muli of the Hong Palace. No wonder he is confident of winning the fifth game.
