Zhao Sheng walked towards the East City, secretly sighing in his heart. He was used to the mountains, rivers and green plants in the central part of China, and he felt a little uncomfortable when he suddenly came to the desert Gobi in the northwest.
The wind in the desolate region was cold and sandy, the land was barren, and the people were as rough and cold as the sand. However, the young man who had just asked for directions was quite nice and had a human air.
After walking for a while, Zhao Sheng followed the directions and came to a shop. The door was closed and there was a plaque on the door with three big characters "Feng Yu Tang" written on it.
We're here!
I went up and knocked on the door, and a thin young man opened it.
"Who are you looking for?" The young man was very alert.
Zhao Sheng made a few strange gestures to the man and then showed him a token.
"Feng Yuling!" the young man exclaimed and hurriedly welcomed Zhao Sheng into the house.
Bang!
The door of Fengyu Hall was slammed shut again.
At the same time, a slovenly beggar slowly stood up in a dark corner of the street.
After looking at Feng Yutang for a few seconds, the beggar turned around and limped towards the west city.
The beggar is the spy of Dalongtang.
"There are new recruits in Fengyu Hall!" He had to go back and report to Lord Long immediately.
…
A moment later, in the back hall of Fengyu Hall.
Zhao Sheng took off his cloak, turned around and sat on the dragon and tiger chair at the top of the hall.
Across from him, a group of people in dark uniforms were kneeling on the ground. In front of them, four blood-red robed disciples of varying figures and appearances were bowing to him.
"Chen Shaoang!"
"The seal cannot be broken!"
"Wan Zhen'er!"
"Liu Gongyu!"
".Welcome Master Uncle!"
Zhao Sheng waved his hand and said calmly, "No need to be polite! Everyone, get up!"
"Yes, (Uncle Master) Hall Master!" Everyone responded loudly and then stood up together.
Zhao Sheng nodded in satisfaction and praised Chen Shaoang and the others: "Not bad, you are thoughtful!"
Chen Shaoang and others were carefully selected by Zhao Sheng.
As early as a month ago, the four of them arrived in Xuantie City. In just a few days, they defeated Fengyu Hall from top to bottom and quickly integrated their forces.
So after Zhao Sheng arrived, there was not a single noise in Fengyu Hall.
Of course, the changes in Fengyu Hall also attracted the attention of other forces, especially those halls that had joined forces to exclude Fengyu Hall in previous years.
Zhao Sheng waved his hand to let the others retreat, leaving only the four "Vajras".
"Who can tell me about the specific situation of Fengyu Hall?"
The first sentence Zhao Sheng opened his mouth with was a test question, neither too serious nor too casual.
The four of them glanced at each other, and Chen Shaoang immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "Reporting to Uncle Master, Fengyu Hall currently has twelve Qi Refining Immortal Cultivators, one in the late Qi Refining stage, and one in the middle stage..."
Chen Shaoang spoke clearly.
He has an extraordinary appearance and is still elegant even though he is over 60 years old.
Zhao Sheng listened silently and nodded secretly in his heart.
"In just three months, this man has subdued the other three. It seems that he is a promising young man. From now on, we can safely entrust Fengyu Hall's affairs to him."
Zhao Sheng traveled thousands of miles to Tianhuang Territory, not to be a blood cow for Guiyuan Sect, but to destroy the Zhou family in order to avenge the separation from his wife and children and the destruction of his family in his previous life.
Before coming to Xuantie City, he already had a general plan, and integrating Fengyu Hall was just the beginning.
The implementation of the next plan will depend on the specific situation.
After Chen Shaoang finished talking about the situation of Fengyu Hall, Zhao Sheng asked him to talk about the forces within Xuanwu City.
"Xuanwu City currently has two major sects: the Great Dragon Sect and the Mining Gang. Each has a Foundation Establishment cultivator in charge, but their exact cultivation level is unknown. In addition, there are two other sects that are nearly as powerful as the Fengyu Sect."
Zhao Sheng interrupted, "Let's not talk about anything else, just the Dalong Hall and the mining gang!"
"Yes, Uncle Master! The head of the Great Dragon Hall, nicknamed Lord Long, is a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Within the hall there is..."
After a cup of tea, Chen Shaoang finished speaking and returned to the group of four.
Zhao Sheng thought for a moment and then ordered, "Write an invitation and send it to the leader of the mining gang. Tell them that I'll be visiting you in three days!"
According to Taoist Feng Yu, the Dalong Hall was one of the forces that had excluded the Fengyu Hall, while the Mining Gang was a force that was formed in the last ten years and had no old grudges with the Fengyu Hall.
Zhao Sheng initially planned to join forces with the mining gang to swallow up Dalongtang.
Of course, before that, we must first find out from the mining gang the true level of Long Ye's cultivation and whether the Dalongtang has any followers.
The Tianhuang Realm has a special location, right in the middle of the paths of good and evil, and is a complex gray area.
Just like Fengyutang's role in Guiyuan Sect, the major sects of both righteous and demonic forces also have numerous overt and covert pawns in the Tianhuang Territory. Their spheres of influence intersect, and the clandestine struggles have persisted for countless years.
…
A day later, Zhao Sheng was sitting in his study, flipping through a book about the customs and people of the Dayong Dynasty.
At this time, Chen Shaoang walked in quietly.
"What's up?"
"Master, someone wants to see you and says he has something important to tell you."
Zhao Sheng thought for a moment, closed the book and said, "Bring him in!"
Soon, Zhou Quan followed Chen Shaoang into the house tremblingly.
As soon as he saw Zhao Sheng, he knelt down and cried out in tears: "Senior, I kowtow to you, please save my life!"
As he said this, he slammed his head to the ground.
"Wait!"
Zhao Sheng waved his hand, and a spiritual light flew out, stopping Zhou Quan from bowing. At the same time, he asked, "You are talking nonsense. Tell me what you have to say from the beginning!"
Zhou Quan wiped away his tears and asked carefully, "Did you ask me for directions yesterday, Senior?"
Zhao Sheng nodded, a thoughtful expression on his face.
Zhou Quan was so excited when he saw this: "Senior, just as you asked for directions, the Third Master of Dalongtang came looking for me."
Zhao Sheng was shocked when he heard this. He had underestimated the power of the local tyrants and did not expect that he would be targeted as soon as he entered the city.
"He asked me to join you, and then he found an opportunity to lure your people to Yi Hai Road, saying that there..."
After Zhou Quan finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Sheng eagerly.
Chen Shaoang, standing aside, was furious after hearing this. "Damn it! The Dalongtang is still ruthless and it seems they are going to catch us all in one fell swoop! Uncle, you——"
Zhao Sheng waved his hand and interrupted Chen Shaoang.
He looked at Zhou Quan and asked with great interest, "Why did you tell me this? Aren't you afraid that the Dalongtang will retaliate against you later?"
Zhou Quan gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Don't be afraid! Whether I tell on you or not, I'll definitely die afterward!"
oh?
Seeing Zhao Sheng's suspicious expression, Zhou Quan immediately said, "That scoundrel said he would give me a piece of the Moon Spring land after the deal was done.
Haha! He's taking me for a fool! Are mortals allowed to touch the land of Moon Spring? Don't even mention I couldn't get it. Even if he gave it to me then, I would have died the next day.
Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well give it a try!
Um!
Zhao Sheng pondered for a moment and ordered, "Get up! Shaoang, take him down and make good accommodations for him. The big show in a few days will require his cooperation."
Chen Shaoang bowed and saluted, "Yes, Uncle Master!"
