All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

Chapter 459 Invitation

That afternoon, in Tianyuan City, Zhenxu Palace.

After Wang Zhifan returned from Mieyue Island, he went straight to visit the old Taoist Zhenxuzi who was in charge of guarding the city, without avoiding possible blame.

But Zhenxuzi did not blame him at all.

When the man saw him coming to visit, he first asked about the situation of the Moon-killing Clan, and was relieved when he learned about the great victory of the Demon-Slaying Clan.

Then he talked to him about the recent major changes in the Demon Sealing List, as well as the major events closely related to Tianyuan City: the deaths of the two elders Qingyangzi and Huayangzi.

“Fellow Daoist Wu Zun, I just discovered that fellow Daoists Qingyang and Huayang both died in the battle at Jiyuan Mountain. Also lost were the top master Mo Rulai from the Buddhist realm and the famous swordsman Taixijun from the Confucian realm… The demon world dared to commit such a heinous crime. We, the human cultivators, must make them pay with blood!
But please don't lose your composure! The demon world can persecute so many top beings of our human race at the same time, it must have mastered an extraordinary and fierce method! You must find out the key to this before attacking the demons! Revenge for Qingyang, Huayang and others!"

At this moment, in the inner hall of Zhenxu Palace, the white-haired old Taoist Zhenxuzi was sitting on a wooden chair with a slightly hunched back. His face was solemn and there was a hint of anger in his eyes. It was obvious that he was suppressing his inner anger and keeping rational to remind Wang Zhifan in front of him.

Wang Zhifan originally thought that the old Taoist would blame him for killing his two old friends who were as close as brothers regardless of age difference, and was prepared to be scolded by him. However, he did not expect that the old Taoist would not say a word to him. Instead, he reminded him not to be impulsive to avoid being schemed by the devil.

But the other party's attitude made him feel even worse.

Because it is undeniable that he was indeed the one who caused the deaths of Qingyangzi and Huayangzi.

If he hadn't persuaded them to go to Jiyuan Mountain to help in the battle on his behalf, the two of them would definitely stay in Tianyuan City as usual, and at most kill the approaching demon army around Tianyuan City. There would be no risk of both of them dying.

"It was me who killed Qing Yangzi and Hua Yangzi... I must avenge them!"

For a moment, the flame of revenge in Wang Zhifan's heart burned fiercely, but he did not lose his mind because of guilt and anger. Instead, his mind became more calm and he was determined to think of a strategy and find an opportunity to make the demon world pay the full price.

So, after having a serious conversation with the Taoist master Zhenxuzi, Wang Zhifan left Zhenxu Palace and returned to Wuzun Palace which was not far away.

Because he was in a heavy mood, he did not choose to use the usual Qinggong to return in the air, but walked back slowly step by step along the street.

On the way, he saw that the core area of ​​Tianyuan City was still as prosperous as before. The well-dressed natives of the Disaster Realm were coming and going on the noisy streets. They didn't look like they were experiencing a catastrophe at all. It could also be seen that they were definitely not aware that the two major pillars of the city had collapsed.

"If you don't have a sufficient level, you won't be able to know even the most basic information... But for them, this may be a good thing. It's better to live a heartless day than to be frightened and helpless."

When Wang Zhifan was sighing for no reason in his heart, he suddenly had a special feeling. It was the Demon Sealing List that received special feedback on the latest communication.

He immediately summoned his Demon Sealing List to check, and found that a lot of people had sent him communications, the most important of which were the top ten strongest people on the list.

"Taoist Wu Tian Wu Di: Wu Zun, do you know the details of the incident at Ji Yuan Mountain? I just came out of seclusion to recuperate, and something like this happened. I am really shocked..."

"Old Man Fumo: Wu Zun, if you are free tomorrow, please come to the North Sea Fire Spirit Island for a chat! I once sent an incarnation to Jiyuan Mountain to assist Jiyuan Tyrant, so I know some of the inside stories of this battle, and I am willing to discuss countermeasures with you..."

"Emperor Tianhua: Your Excellency Wu Zun, I have sent many experts to Jiyuan Mountain for secret investigation, but the results were minimal. I heard that Jiyuan Tyrant once invited Your Excellency to help in the battle. I wonder if You have any inside information..."

In addition to these three who ranked in the top ten of the Demon Sealing List, there were many other cultivators on the list who sent inquiries to Wang Zhifan, with the total number exceeding one hundred.

The reason for this situation is very simple. He is now the highest-ranked surviving monk on the list. After a major event, everyone will naturally tend to ask him, the nominally strongest person, and want to know some of the latest information from him.

Unfortunately, Wang Zhifan had no idea what happened in the battle of Jiyuan Mountain. He had to ignore most of the communications and only communicated with a few of his most core acquaintances. He made an appointment for everyone to get together tomorrow to discuss countermeasures.

As for the gathering place, it was naturally the Fire Spirit Island in the North Sea where the old demon-suppressing old man who claimed to have inside information was located.

This mysterious and powerful man is now ranked sixth on the Demon Sealing List and third among the living. He has killed dozens of Demon Lords and his prestige is not much lower than that of Wang Zhifan, the Martial Lord.

"After so many human masters were annihilated, this old man invited everyone to gather and discuss. Could it be that he was bribed by the demon world and was trying to trick us...

No, my speculation is completely nonsense, there is no evidence at all, it is just a stress reaction."

After agreeing to the appointment, Wang Zhifan couldn't help but have this thought in his mind, but he didn't have any special arguments, it was just a consideration of the worst case scenario.

After a little thought, he ignored this bad idea and decided to go to Fire Spirit Island in person to keep the appointment.

The main reason is that he still has some confidence in his own strength. Even if the old man Fu Mo really gets seriously ill and colludes with the demon world, he has the ability to counterattack. He can be so confident because he possesses the legendary perfect power that can be called a BUG.

Besides, he will refresh the Demon Sealed List's teleportation authority twice tomorrow. Even if he can't withstand the ambush, can't he just teleport away to save his life?

The essence of the Demon Sealed List is truly saint-level. Even if the Demon Lord himself comes, he may not be able to suppress the basic abilities it grants.

After communicating through the Demon Sealing List, Wang Zhifan had walked through many streets and entered the area where his Martial Honor Hall was located.

At present, he was passing by Qingyang Palace, which was not far to the west of Wuzun Palace. When he came to this tall building that he had visited many times, he couldn't help but slow down his pace.

He can see that the gatekeeper of Qingyang Palace today is a young Taoist priest whom he has little impression of. The young Taoist priest is standing sideways with his hands on his chest and a sword on his back, talking to a young man who walked out of the gate of Qingyang Palace.

Wang Zhifan was very familiar with this young man. He was the Taoist young man in the Xiantian realm whom he had come into contact with many times.

The boy currently has several white bandages tied around his left shoulder, but he seems to be able to move freely. He must have recovered from his injury and came here to find something to do.

During the current war, it is not only top-level cultivators like Wang Zhifan who are fighting. Many demon generals and ordinary demons are dealt with by the innate cultivators.

Although they cannot determine the true direction of the war in the disaster zone, their contributions cannot be ignored.

Many of them were injured in the confrontation with the demon army, and some were even killed. The death rate alone was even higher than that of the super-innate monks.

"Brother, where did Master go? Did he say when he would be back?"

"How would I know? But I heard that Master went to a faraway place with Senior Huayang to fight the Demon Lord. I guess he won't be back for a few days." "Oh, then I won't wait for Master. I'll work on my skills first. Maybe I'll have a breakthrough tomorrow. Then Master will definitely be very happy to see me when he comes back."

"Hey! Are you going to break through again so soon? Tell me, did your master give you some special training in private?"

"No way, Senior Brother! I just went out to kill demons a few days ago and gained some insights. Aren't there many brothers and sisters who have made breakthroughs recently? What can my achievements count for?"

"Haha, Senior Brother, I'm just teasing you! To be honest, I, Senior Brother, also have the signs of breaking through to the fifth level of the Xiantian Realm! When the time comes, I will definitely ask Master for some good treasures as a reward for my progress..."

……

At the gate of Qingyang Palace, two of Qingyangzi's disciples were talking to each other excitedly. They were both happy that their strength had improved after the battles and were looking forward to the praise and rewards from their master Qingyangzi.

But Wang Zhifan, who was passing by in the distance, felt very uncomfortable after hearing it with his extraordinary hearing. He once again felt a strong sense of guilt in his heart and immediately quickened his pace to leave.

"Zhenxuzi really didn't announce the death of Qingyangzi and Huayangzi, but they certainly can't keep it a secret from their disciples for long...

I don’t know what these young people will do when the time comes. Will there still be hope for the Qingyang Palace and Huayang Palace to continue their inheritance…

Maybe it’s really as Zhenxuzi said, Zhenxu Palace will have to accommodate Qingyang Palace and Huayang Palace in the future…”

While thinking in his mind, Wang Zhifan came to his Wuzun Palace.

Different from usual, the Wuzun Hall has now strengthened its guards. The main guard is Wang Zhifan's chief disciple, He Kuang, who has reached the sixth level of innate cultivation.

He Kuang, who looked ordinary, was seen practicing boxing and kicking in the small square in front of the temple. Wang Zhifan knew at a glance from his martial arts techniques that he was practicing Chun Yang Zhengong.

"Master! Today, the area around Wu Zun Temple is very peaceful! No suspicious individuals have been spotted!"

Although He Kuang was practicing martial arts, he was well aware of the situation around him. When he saw Wang Zhifan coming back, he immediately stopped practicing and ran to him to report.

"Well, we have to stay alert. Those guys from the demon world have many tricks up their sleeves. We must pay attention to any disturbances in the surrounding area... By the way, I see that your moves are becoming more and more proficient. It's time for you to go to the Black Tower for further training. You don't have to worry about this outside today."

As he spoke, Wang Zhifan released his legendary treasure, the Black Tower, and let the shrunken black tower fly into the Wuzun Hall on its own and enter the underground palace below the hall.

"Thank you, Master! But my fellow disciples are also meditating and practicing in the temple right now. Can you take them with you?"

"Why not? Anyone who wants to go may go. The Black Tower is at your disposal tonight."

"Great! Disciple will go challenge the Demon Lord right now!"

After hearing the news, He Kuang ran very fast, went to the main hall to inform all the young men and women of the good news, and then rushed to the black tower in the underground palace with them.

When Wang Zhifan arrived at the main hall, he found that only one disciple was left, and that was the bronze-skinned boy Qin Quan, who had left a deep impression on him.

"Quan'er, why don't you go to the Black Tower to practice?"

Wang Zhifan couldn't help but feel curious when he saw this, he remembered that this disciple was also very addicted to fighting monsters in the Black Tower, so why was it that today when he finally came back to release the Black Tower, this guy didn't move at all.

"Master, I also want to go to the Black Tower to practice, but I still have some questions about body training that I need your help with."

"Oh? Master, I see that your physical strength has improved again. It doesn't look like you have hit a bottleneck."

"Master, it's not a problem with my own cultivation, but I found that I can't buy two body-refining herbs, Wood Immortal Grass and Poison Ring Stone Root, in the market. I want Master to tell me where I can collect them around Tianyuan City..."

"Wood Immortal Grass and Poison Ring Stone Root? As far as I can remember, these two herbs are only produced in very remote areas. I guess the recent war has hindered the trade of scarce herbs. If you want to buy them, it may not be easy...

How about this, I remember that I still have some herbs left from the ones I collected before the war, so I will give you some of them. It should be enough for you to use for a month."

"Thank you, Master! I will go to the Black Tower to practice now, and then go home tomorrow to start the body-refining medicinal bath!"

After taking some of the medicinal herbs that Wang Zhifan took out of the space ring, Qin Quan quickly disappeared.

There is no way. The Black Tower is too attractive to practitioners. Now that Wang Zhifan takes the Black Tower out from time to time, they have to cherish every precious opportunity to enter the tower to practice.

"Qin Quan's Wuji Jinshen Gong should be about to break through to the second level. I was right about him. He is a body-refining genius picked out of thousands. I think he will practice this technique to a very advanced level in the future, and it will eventually become one of the inheritances I leave in this world..."

Looking at the direction where the bronze-skinned boy Qin Quan ran away, Wang Zhifan suddenly sighed in his heart.

He remembered that a month ago, this disciple was still worried about not being able to get started in practicing the Wind and Thunder Treading Heaven Art, but since he arranged for him to switch to practicing the Wuji Golden Body Art, his progress has been extremely rapid.

Of course, Qin Quan's cultivation speed is very fast compared to normal circumstances. If he is compared with his master Wang Zhifan, whose physique is no longer human and whose body is covered with various cultivation BUFFs, then it is not that impressive.

Feeling satisfied with his disciples' talents and efforts, Wang Zhifan then swept his eyes across the empty hall.

This grand and spacious place is now his base camp, and it is becoming more and more famous in the entire disaster area.

I remember that about half a month ago, a group of disciples from the Huojing family braved the risk of being attacked by the demon army and came from thousands of miles away from Tianyuan City, wanting to learn martial arts from the master in this Wuzun Hall.

But Wang Zhifan was not in the city at that time, and he had already told his eldest disciple He Kuang that he would no longer accept disciples. So He Kuang drove everyone out, which was extremely heartless.

From this we can see that accepting disciples is very dependent on fate. There are now a total of 51 disciples. Although their average talent may not be very good, their fate is already determined. They are the successors of Wang Zhifan left in this world.
