“Forget it. Those two didn’t even leave the flying ship. They clearly haven’t used their full strength. Moreover, there’s a third person on the flying ship. If we really attacked with you, we would have been completely wiped out!”
“You’re boosting the morale of others and lowering your own!”
“I won’t argue with you. When Master Miao You comes back, I’ll let her be the judge!”
The silver-feathered owl’s face twitched. It snorted heavily and said, “Master Miao You were injured because of a human cultivator. I’m avenging her!”
“The human cultivator who injured Master Miao You wasn’t from the Nine Suns Sect!”
“We’re all human cultivators. What’s the difference?”
“You!!!”
The other human-faced owls almost fainted from anger.
Did this guy use all its intelligence on cultivation?
Couldn’t it use its brain for a change?
The Nine Suns Sect was completely different from itinerant cultivators!
Although the Eagle Tribe had become more and more powerful recently and had become the overlord of the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range, it was only limited to that region.
If they really went against the Nine Suns Sect, they would end up just like the Tiger Tribe, Bear Tribe, and Python Tribe.
They might follow in the footsteps of these three tribes!
The other human-faced owls were already regretting bringing this brainless fellow along.
In their anger, they didn’t have the mood to talk to this fellow anymore. They were prepared to wait for Miao You to return from the Wood Ancestral City before reporting to her what this fellow had done.
The attack by the human-faced owl was just a small interlude. Lin Shen and the other two quickly forgot about it and continued on their way.
The rest of the journey was uneventful. There were no more large-scale demon attacks.
The Dragon Fang Flying Ship left the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range safely that night.
After flying for another day and a half, the outline of a huge city finally appeared in the distance.
“We’re here. That’s the Wood Ancestor City!”
Lin Shen looked over. Under the blue and white sky, the tall and majestic city wall stood straight, extending to both sides. There was no end to it.
From the front, the width of the city was over five kilometers.
One could vaguely see dense vines wrapped around the city wall as if covering the wall with a layer of armor.
Lin Shen didn’t need to take a closer look to know that it was most likely some kind of spiritual wood.
Most likely, it was part of the defense array of the Wood Ancestor City.
Out of courtesy, the Dragon Fang Flying Ship stopped about two to a kilometer away from the Wood Ancestor City. Lin Shen and the other two then used the Riding Wind Technique and flew toward the Wood Ancestor City at a moderate speed.
Before long, two disciples riding flying cranes came out to welcome them.
“Are fellow Daoists here to participate in the Xuandu Meeting?”
“Yes.”
The three of them handed over the Xuandu Tokens.
After checking the tokens, a disciple immediately said, “Our sect has already set up a residence at the foot of Xuandu Mountain. Fellow Daoists, please follow me!”
The three of them weren’t surprised and immediately followed the two cultivators.
There were many cultivators participating in the Xuandu Meeting, and there were all kinds of people. For safety reasons, Wood Ancestor City wouldn’t let these cultivators enter the city. The best way was to place them near Xuandu Mountain.
It happened to be close to the venue of the Xuandu Meeting, which saved them much time and effort.
Not long after, under the lead of two disciples, Lin Shen and the other two arrived near Xuandu Mountain.
As far as they could see, the towering and undulating mountain range stretched endlessly.
Among the mountains, one stood out the most.
Not only was it towering into the clouds, but the dense spiritual essence could also be felt from afar.
It was Xuandu Mountain!
Among the mountains, Xuandu Mountain stood out like a crane among chickens.
Even if someone came here for the first time, they would recognize it at the first glance
At this moment, on a few mountain ridges near Xuandu Mountain, there were already many stone houses built along the slopes.
Cultivators from all over the East Sea Path gathered here. At a glance, there were probably more than a thousand people.
Qu Ke sighed.
“There are still six days until the Xuandu Meeting, but there are already more than a thousand people. When the meeting begins, there will probably be two to three thousand people.”
Two to three thousand cultivators didn’t sound like a lot.
However, almost everyone who came to participate in the Xuandu Meeting was here for the Mystic Essence Liquid.
Those who needed the Mystic Essence Liquid were all cultivators who had reached the ninth level of the Bright Aperture Stage and had already started to forge spirit meridians.
Such a person would already be an elite cultivator with a high status in any large city.
Yet, there were two to three thousand such people here. It was a shocking sight.
After bringing Lin Shen and the other two to a few empty houses, the two Mystic Spirit Sect disciples left.
The three of them didn’t chat with one another. They each chose a room and entered, preparing to conserve their energy for the Xuandu Meeting in six days.
Although the houses prepared by the Mystic Spirit Sect weren’t crude, they were just ordinary residences without any protective array formations.
Lin Shen looked around and took out a few House Protection Talismans from his storage ring and pasted them on the wall. It was better than nothing.
“Looks like I have to find an opportunity to cultivate array formations. I don’t have to be an expert, but 1 can’t be ignorant. Otherwise, 1 won’t even be able to set up the simplest protective array formation when I’m in the same situation again.”
After making a decision, Lin Shen sat cross-legged on the bed and prepared to meditate for the next few days.
However, not long after he sat down, he suddenly sensed someone approaching.
There were a total of two people. Judging from their auras, they weren’t Qu Ke and Shen Zening.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
Lin Shen could only stand up and open the door.
I’wo people stood outside the door. They were both in their late thirties to early forties, one tall and the other thin.
The tall man had a fierce face, a stocky build, and beady eyes. With one look, one could tell that he wasn’t a kind person.
The short one was full of smiles. His eyes darted around, revealing his shrewdness.
“How may 1 help you?” Lin Shen sized up the two of them quietly and asked casually.
The short man cupped his hands at Lin Shen with a smile and said,
“I’m Lian Xi. This is my companion, Luo Deng. The two of us have been admiring the Xuandu Meeting for a long time and have long wanted to participate in it. Unfortunately, we don’t have the means to obtain the Xuandu Token and haven’t been able to fulfill our wish. We’re wondering if you can give the Xuandu Token to the two of us.
“Of course, we won’t take it for free. We’ll definitely give you enough remuneration!
“What do you think?”
