Chapter 97 Meeting an old friend again
"Miss Xining, this Qinghe City was originally built because of the Qingshan Sect. The Qingshan Sect came first, and then Qinghe City came into being."

At the foot of Daqing Mountain, a handsome and noble young man was explaining the origin of Qinghe City to a young woman in red beside him.

"Originally, there weren't many people living around this Daqing Mountain. Five hundred years ago, the Golden Spear Divine General, one of the seven Divine Generals under Emperor Shang, killed a demon king from the Xuanming Sect here. That battle caused the Ling River to change its course and razed countless mountains to the ground. Later, people continued to migrate here."

The noble young master continued, "But it was not until the founder of the Qingshan Sect discovered that there was golden marrow and jade liquid produced here that he founded the Qingshan Sect, and then this Qinghe City came into being."

"Every ten years, the Qingshan Sect will take out three portions of the Golden Marrow Jade Liquid and exchange them with others. As long as you can take out a sufficient amount of treasure, no matter if it is a natural treasure, a spiritual object, or a magical weapon, you can exchange it for one portion."

"Now, it's exactly ten years. Miss Xining is here for the Golden Marrow Jade Liquid, right?"

Wang Xining said, "Brother Wenqin has a keen eye. I am here for the Golden Marrow Jade Liquid."

Song Wenqin asked curiously, "This golden marrow jade liquid is usually used by body-refining warriors to open the divine treasure. Is there anyone in Miss Xining's family who is a body-refining warrior?"

Wang Xining shook his head. "He's a friend. I owe him a favor. This is the only way to repay him."

Seeing that she had a somewhat melancholy look in her eyes, Song Wenqin guessed that this was definitely not an ordinary friend, but he did not point it out. Just as he was about to change the subject, he suddenly caught a glimpse of two familiar figures.

I turned around and saw that it was indeed them.

He shouted in surprise, "Brother Mengyu, Miss Ruan, why are you here too?"

Wang Xining followed his gaze and saw three people coming, two men and one woman. One of the couples made her eyes light up even though she was used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women.

That special temperament makes people feel good at first sight.

As for the other man, she completely ignored him, thinking he was just a follower or something like that.

……

"It turned out to be Young Master Song."

When Fang Mengyu saw the other person, she was also very happy and walked over to him, "I hope you are well."

Ruan Qingqing also called out, "Mr. Song."

Song Wenqin said happily, "Come, let me introduce you. This is Miss Wang Xining. Her family and mine are old friends."

"This is Fang Mengyu and Ruan Qingqing, both of them are my good friends."

Fang Mengyu also introduced the people around him, "This is my sworn brother, Abin."

Become sworn brother?

Song Wenqin was stunned for a moment. He saw that this person had an ordinary appearance and was unremarkable. He was the kind that would not be noticed if he walked on the street.

However, since he was Fang Mengyu's elder brother, he would not neglect him. "Hello, Brother Abin."

Gu Mingchuan bowed and said, "Greetings, Mr. Song."

To be honest, when he saw Wang Xining just now, he thought he was dazzled.

I didn't expect to meet her here.

Didn't she go back to the capital? What was she doing here?
This place belongs to Pingzhou, to the east of Jiangzhou. There is no need to pass through here to get from Jiangzhou to Shendu.

However, he only glanced at it once and didn't look at it any further, so as not to be seen through his disguise.

In just a short while, Wang Xining had already looked at him several times.

Are you starting to doubt?
……

Since they all knew each other and were all going to Qingshan Sect, it was natural for them to travel together.

Fang Mengyu and Song Wenqin reunited as good friends, so naturally they had a lot to talk about.

"By the way, Brother Song, have you heard of a Gu Mingchuan in Jiangzhou?"

"Of course I've heard of it. With the cultivation of the third level of Shenzang, he was able to take on a strong man on the Grandmaster's list without losing. How amazing is that!"

"Yeah, it's a pity that I can't witness that battle in person."

"I must get to know this person if I have the chance in the future."

Wang Xining was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help asking, "Are you talking about Gu Mingchuan from the Minglong Gu family?"

Song Wenqin noticed that she looked strange, and said, "That's right, Miss Xining, you just came from Jiangzhou, do you recognize him?"

"You just said that he has reached the third level of Divine Hidden Realm?"

"That's what the rumor says."

"He has fought against a strong man on the Grandmaster Ranking?"

"Well, with one strike, both sides are hurt."

"..."

Wang Xining was in a daze. Is this really the Gu Mingchuan I know?
She remembered that when she left Minglong City, he was only at the ninth level of Gangyuan, and it was quite difficult for him to kill two ninth-level Gangyuan enemies.

How long have you been away?
It seems like less than two months.

He broke through to the divine treasure?

Moreover, it is the third level of Shenzang.

He even had a fight with a strong man on the Grandmaster List.

This……

What happened during the month I was away?

At this time, Fang Mengyu also noticed something and asked, "Miss Wang, do you know Gu Mingchuan?"

Wang Xining nodded, but did not elaborate. He just said, "Can you tell me the details of that battle?"

When the two men heard this, they were overjoyed. "Of course you can. Miss Wang, you must introduce us to someone in the future."

"it is good."

Then, the two of them talked about the rumored battle.

Gu Mingchuan followed behind, his face almost unable to hold back the expression.

I heard someone brag about him for the first time yesterday, it was quite interesting.

Now listening to it a second time, it feels a bit weird.

Moreover, it happened in front of acquaintances.

It’s hard to bear.

...Soon, the Qingshan Sect arrived.

Song Wenqin was obviously quite familiar with the people of Qingshan Sect. When they saw him, they all bowed and called him Young Master Song.

Then, this group of people were invited directly inside.

There were already several groups of people sitting in a meeting hall.

When Gu Mingchuan entered, he spotted the two Black Dragon Guards and suddenly realized, "So, they came for the Golden Marrow Jade Liquid."

Similarly, Wang Xining should have come here for this spiritual object.

There are quite a few competitors, and they are very strong.

The legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family and the guard of the prime minister of the dynasty, apart from other things, her financial resources are beyond their comparison.

Fang Mengyu also felt bad, so he pulled Song Wenqin and whispered, "There are too many people here. Is there any way for me to meet the Grand Elder of Qingshan Sect?"

Song Wenqin said in embarrassment, "The Grand Elder has been in seclusion for many years. It is difficult for outsiders, even people from Qingshan Sect, to see him."

"Think of a solution. I have something important to do."

"Well, I'll take you to see the granddaughter of the previous head and see if she's willing to take us."

"it is good."

Fang Mengyu turned to Gu Mingchuan and Ruan Qingqing and said, "You stay here. Wenqin and I will go to meet the people from Qingshan Sect. Qing'er, please take good care of Big Brother."

Ruan Qingqing warned, "Brother Mengyu, you have to be careful too."

"understood."

With that, Fang Mengyu and Song Wenqin left.

As for Wang Xining, he was still immersed in shock and had not yet come to his senses, so he did not say anything.

At this time, a handsome young man walked out from inside with an extraordinary bearing. The people following him had an aura as deep as the sea, and they were all masters.

These masters are all powerful men above the fourth level of Shenzang, and they are led by this young man, which shows that his identity must be extraordinary.

At this time, someone in the audience asked, "Elder Hong, who is this?"

An old man behind the young man said solemnly, "This is the new leader of my Qingshan Sect, Zong Haoran."

The man said in surprise, "I have never heard of such a person in your sect before."

Elder Hong said, "The headmaster is the last disciple accepted by the previous headmaster when he was away. This time he is returning to the sect to take over the position of headmaster according to the will of the previous headmaster."

……

Gu Mingchuan, who was sitting below, knew something was wrong when he heard it.

From what he said, it seemed that Fang Mengyu's identity was impersonated by someone.

At this time, Ruan Qingqing, who was sitting next to him, came over and asked, "Brother Abin, is the former sect leader he mentioned the master of Brother Mengyu?"

Gu Mingchuan signaled her not to speak so as not to alert the enemy.

At this time, the same person said, "I heard that the position of the leader of your sect has been vacant for many years because the leader's token has not been found. Did the new leader bring the leader's token back?"

Zong Haoran showed a look of shame on his face, and said, "I am incompetent. The token left by the master was actually stolen by a little thief."

What the hell!

Gu Mingchuan knew something was wrong as soon as he heard it. This person was actually turning the tables on him.

I'm afraid I won't get any good results this time when I come to Qingshan Sect.

Zong Haoran continued, "That thief stole the token that my master gave me, in order to impersonate me. He is already here. That woman is the thief's companion."

As he said this, he pointed at Ruan Qingqing.

Seeing him confuse right and wrong, Ruan Qingqing was so angry that her face turned pale, "You are talking nonsense, Brother Mengyu would never pretend to be you."

Gu Mingchuan pulled her and ran. At this time, there was nothing else to say. If she didn't run now, she would not be able to escape.

Elder Hong behind Zong Haoran shouted, "Catch her, don't let her run away. Find out where her accomplices are. The Sect Leader's token must not fall into the hands of thieves..."

Zong Haoran pointed at Wang Xining and shouted, "And she came with them, arrest her too."

Wang Xining finally came to his senses at this time, and without any hesitation, he ran away with his men.

……

"Want to run!"

Two people flew out from behind Zong Haoran and chased after Ruan Qingqing and Wang Xining respectively.

Both of them were masters with incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, they had caught up with the two women.

"I knew that once I got involved, nothing good would happen."

Gu Mingchuan cursed in his heart, suddenly turned around and punched out.

The master just wanted to capture the girl alive and did not use any weapons at all. He was caught off guard and suffered a great loss on the spot.

He only felt an overwhelming force rushing towards him. By the time he reacted, it was too late. He was knocked flying on the spot, knocking down the wall behind him.

Gu Mingchuan took advantage of the other party's strength, embraced Ruan Qingqing, and flew away. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared.

On the other side, the old woman following behind Wang Xining took action, repelled the master, and took her away calmly.

"Grandmaster?"

Inside the lobby, Elder Hong and others from the Qingshan Sect all had solemn expressions on their faces. The strength of these two people should not be underestimated.

Elder Hong said angrily, "Pass the order to seal the mountain. We must not let these people escape. Two mere masters dared to act wildly in Qingshan Sect. Do you really think that there is no one in my Qingshan Sect?"

The guests in the lobby were all shocked.

According to rumors, the Qingshan Sect's mountain protection formation was set up by a divine formation master. Several decades ago, a powerful enemy in the Dharma Image Realm attacked the mountain, but failed to break the formation after ten days, and had to return empty-handed.

After several decades, the Qingshan Sect's mountain protection formation was activated again.

Is he trying to establish his authority by using these people?
