Chapter 89 Disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect

One day later, Ye Ming returned to the Hidden Moon Sect.

At the mountain gate, the gatekeeper was still the man named Zheng. As soon as this man saw Ye Ming, he immediately came up to him. His handsome face smiled like a chrysanthemum, and he greeted Ye Ming warmly:
"Hey, senior brother, you are finally back!"

Ye Ming couldn't stand this enthusiasm. Could this person be a Longyang lover?Ye Ming calmly took two steps back and smiled bitterly:
"People are panicking outside. Something happened unexpectedly, which delayed some time. Looking at Brother Zheng, do you want to see me for something?"

"That's not true. As senior brother said, it's not peaceful outside now. Many of my classmates have left and never come back. I'm so happy to see you back, senior brother!" The man surnamed Zheng waved his hands and sighed.

"Thank you for your concern, Brother Zheng. If nothing happens, I will go back to the sect first!" Ye Ming cupped his hands and thanked this person.

"Senior brother, walk slowly. By the way, it's best not to go out anymore if you have nothing to do recently. The sect seems to be making big moves." The man surnamed Zheng also gave him his hands and said in a low voice.

"Oh? What big move?" After hearing what he said, Ye Ming became a little curious.

"I don't know this, it's just hearsay, hearsay, haha..." The man surnamed Zheng smiled awkwardly.

"Farewell!" When Ye Ming saw this, he turned around and flew towards the center of the sect without asking any more questions.

"Good go, senior brother!" The man surnamed Zheng looked at Ye Ming's back and cupped his hands with a smile.

After Ye Ming flew far away, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said to himself: "Why does this person give me a feeling of panic? It shouldn't be! Could it be that he has been thinking too much about Senior Sister Qiuyue recently? It's really strange!"

Then he shook his head and thought no more.

Flying over the lofty mountains, Ye Ming admired the scenery of the Hidden Moon Sect with great interest.Compared with the many people coming and going last time, the entire mountain range is much quieter now. Only occasionally you can see people walking between the various peaks from a distance.

At this time, a melodious bell suddenly rang. The bell was not particularly loud, but it went straight into the mind and could be heard clearly.

"Is there something big going on?" Ye Ming looked doubtfully towards the main peak at the center of the Hidden Moon Sect, where the bell came from.

After the first ring of the bell, the second ring rang... and the third ring...

It didn't stop until after nine rings.

Seeing this, Ye Ming felt that something big was definitely happening.

Just when he couldn't make up his mind and wondered whether to continue observing the situation, the entire sect suddenly became lively.

On each steep mountain peak, figures appeared one after another. They controlled various magic weapons and flew towards the main peak, Wangyue Peak.

During this period, Ye Ming even saw a few Changhongs who flew away without using magic weapons. They were actually seniors in the pill formation stage.

Ye Ming's heart trembled, and he quickly flew towards his cave without thinking.

However, he had only been flying for a short time when a crisp sound came into his ears.

"Eh? Senior brother, you are heading in the wrong direction. Moon Moon Peak is over here."

Ye Ming turned his head and found a petite woman in white not far behind him, flying quickly on a red diamond magic weapon.At this time, she was tilting her head and guiding Ye Ming with a kind expression.

Ye Ming slowed down, waited until the woman caught up, and flew side by side with her.

As I got closer, I realized that this woman had a gentle and pleasant appearance, with her big eyes blinking, a toothy smile, and her two little tiger teeth looking extremely cute.

But what surprised Ye Ming the most was that this woman's hair was tied into a high ponytail. This was the first time Ye Ming had seen this hairstyle in this world, and he couldn't help but take a second look with some curiosity.

"Hey, what are you doing?" The woman was stared at by Ye Ming motionless, her face turned slightly red, and she squeaked.

"Uh, I'm sorry. Seeing how good-looking you are, I looked at you twice. Please forgive me, senior sister." Ye Ming awkwardly held his hands. This woman, like him, is also in the middle stage of foundation building.

"Hmph, you can't just stare at others if you look good. This is very impolite behavior, and I won't do it again!" The woman said with a stern tone on her face.However, she was secretly happy. After all, it was always pleasant to be praised in person!
"Senior Sister, what I'm teaching is, eh, Senior Sister, I don't know what happened with the bell just now. You said I flew in the wrong direction. Could it be that the sect is summoning the disciples to gather?" Ye Ming quickly admitted his mistake and asked about the bell. .

"What? You don't know what the nine rings of the Shocking Dragon Bell mean?" The pony-tailed woman opened her mouth in surprise.

"Well, I'm busy practicing on weekdays and don't hear what's going on outside the window. I really don't understand this situation. I hope my senior sister can tell me so that I don't know what taboos I've committed in a daze." Ye Ming scratched his head and said embarrassedly. .

You really can't blame him. Nangong Wan just gave him a token and didn't say anything else. He didn't know anything about the Hidden Moon Sect.Besides, he is only staying here temporarily and has no intention of staying here for a long time. It is inevitable that he will not understand some unimportant things about the Hidden Moon Sect.

The pony-tailed woman looked at Ye Ming strangely and said:
"The sound just now was made by the sect's special magical weapon, the Dragon-Starling Bell. The nine rings represent an emergency in the sect. All disciples above the foundation level in the sect are summoned to gather at Wangyue Square. I see the direction you were heading in just now. It’s not Wangyue Peak, that’s why I stopped you.”

"I see, can we go together? I still have some questions that I need to ask my senior sister for advice." Ye Ming suddenly realized that he thought this woman was easier to talk to, so he suggested this.

"It's up to you!" The pony-tailed woman smiled generously, and then drove the red diamond magic weapon to rush forward quickly.

Ye Ming followed with a slight smile.

"Sister, tell me, how many Nascent Soul Ancestors there are in our sect..."

"Ha, you don't even know this, so you can't be a fake, right? Be honest and tell me, are you a spy from another faction..."

"Then let me tell the truth. I am actually a disciple of Huang Maple Valley, and I was brought here by an uncle..."

"Oh? Is this true?"

……

In this way, the two of them asked and answered questions along the way, and soon saw a huge mountain in the distance.

At first glance, this mountain is over ten thousand feet high. The top of the mountain is submerged in the clouds, making it difficult to see what is happening above.

"Senior Brother Ye, the Moon Moon Peak is ahead. Let's go there quickly." After the pony-tailed woman greeted her, she speeded up a bit.

After some interrogation, she found out that it was Uncle Nangong Wan who brought Ye Ming back.However, she believed that although Ye Ming was not a member of the Hiding Moon Sect at this time, it would be a matter of time.This person was brought back by Uncle Nangong, that is, he was attracted by him. In this case, how can this kid still have the ability to refuse?So she immediately changed her title.

"Okay, Junior Sister Cheng!" Ye Ming smiled slightly.Ye Ming didn't pay much attention to the title.

The two had introduced each other on the road, and Ye Ming knew that the woman's name was Cheng Ling, and she came from a family affiliated with the Hidden Moon Sect.

After a while, the two came to the mountainside of the giant mountain, where there was a huge square hundreds of feet wide.

On the side of the square close to the mountain wall, there are three main halls arranged in a finished glyph.

At this moment, there were about 800 people gathered in the square, almost all wearing white clothes. At a glance, they all were disciples at the foundation building stage or above.

Some of these people looked worried, some looked calm, and most of them were discussing something in low voices with their friends around them.

Although the sound is small, when there are more people, it becomes a loud buzzing sound.Moreover, there is a steady stream of people coming here from the sky, making it very lively and spectacular.

"Senior Brother Ye, let's go over there." Cheng Ling said in a low voice, and then slowly flew towards a corner.

Ye Ming was behind Cheng Ling, quietly observing the cultivators in the square, and was secretly stunned. It was the first time in his life that he saw so many foundation-building cultivators, and it was inevitable that he would be a little unnatural.

It has to be said that the Hidden Moon Sect is worthy of being the strongest sect in the Yue Kingdom. Even if one-third of its strength has been sent to the front line, it can still gather so many foundation-building disciples in a short period of time.

If we include those who have been in seclusion for a long time, those who guard the vital parts of the sect and are inconvenient to come, and those who are stationed outside at various resource points, then the number of foundation-building disciples can be increased by more than half!
As for the high-level monks, on the way here, Ye Ming had already learned from Cheng Ling that there were two Nascent Soul monks in the Hidden Moon Sect, and there were more than 30 people in the alchemy stage.

The overall strength of the sect is indeed much stronger than the other six sects such as Huang Maple Valley.

But compared to the devil, it pales into insignificance.

From Ye Ming's understanding, among the six sects of the Tianluo Kingdom's demonic path, the weakest is the Ghost Spirit Sect.But even this weakest sect has two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, several early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and an unknown number of those in the Dan-formation stage.

Facing such a powerful demon, the future of the Yue Kingdom is really worrying!

As soon as Ye Ming followed Cheng Lingfang to a corner outside the square, five or six women gathered around and chirped greetings:
"Senior Sister Cheng is here!"

"This senior brother is so handsome, how about we get to know each other?"

"Junior sister Cheng, who is this senior? You came with him, could it be..."...

As the saying goes, three women perform a show. If there are more women, it is easier to talk a lot when they are together, and the conversation can be quite bold.

"No way, don't talk nonsense!" Cheng Ling, who was usually generous and gentle, turned red and said reluctantly.

Ye Ming clasped his hands in his fists and said to several women: "Ye Ming, I have met all the seniors and sisters!"

One of them, a woman with peach blossom eyes, a graceful figure, and a late-stage foundation-building cultivation, took a step closer, almost touching Ye Ming's body, and said charmingly: "It turns out to be Junior Brother Ye, which peak are you practicing at?" ? Why haven’t I seen you before? It stands to reason that you are already in the middle stage of foundation building, so it’s impossible that you haven’t been out all this time.”

"Well, I'm still in the inspection period and haven't joined the sect yet. It's normal that I don't know my senior sister." Ye Ming was a little embarrassed.

"Inspection period? Junior sister Cheng, what's going on?" The charming woman was greatly surprised.

As far as he understood, all the foundation-building disciples in the Hidden Moon Sect were grown up in the sect, and almost no foundation-building monks were directly recruited from outside.

It's very possible that they are in the pill-forming stage, because they are high-level monks, and each additional one is an improvement to the sect's strength.

But at the foundation-building level, if you are high or low, you can't guarantee your loyalty, so you almost never recruit them.

"Senior Sister Wang, this person was specially recruited by an uncle in the sect. I didn't believe it at first, but after being interrogated many times, I found that he was really like this. He didn't even understand many common sense things." Cheng Ling also said in surprise, but she didn't say which uncle it was.

As soon as Chen Ling finished speaking, several pairs of big eyes turned to Ye Ming.

Seeing this, Ye Ming smiled bitterly: "Sisters and sisters, there is no need to guess. I was indeed specially recruited by a certain uncle, but it is not convenient to say who it is."

"Okay!" When the girls heard this, they left Ye Ming aside and went to talk among themselves.

They didn't delve into it too much. After all, everyone has secrets. If you ask if others don't tell you, it would be too clumsy and it would be easy to offend others.

Ye Ming silently observed the people around him.

In the following time, more than two hundred people came one after another, and then only one or two people came for a long time.

Half an hour later, a powerful pressure came over the square, and then a majestic voice came from the palace in front of the square.

"quiet!"

The volume of the two words was not very loud, but everyone heard it clearly. Suddenly, the whole brother in the square became silent, and all looked towards the direction of the palace.

On the high bluestone platform of the palace at the front, I didn't know when a dozen men and women appeared, standing there quietly, exuding a powerful aura.

Ye Ming was shocked when he sensed it. These dozen people were all in the Dan-formation stage. Among them, the beautiful middle-aged woman standing at the front was the strongest, which gave people a faint feeling of fear.

The beautiful woman's sharp eyes glanced at everyone in the audience, and everyone immediately lowered their heads and did not dare to look at her.

"Very good, you all arrived in time. It seems that everyone attaches great importance to the call of the Dragon Bell. Time is tight, so I won't say more nonsense. I believe many people have guessed the purpose of calling everyone here this time. .Yes, that is to go to the border to support the war against the devil!"

With a "buzz" sound, the whole square was in an uproar again, and discussions started.

They guessed it was one thing, but it was another thing to actually confirm it.The battle between immortal cultivators is extremely dangerous, and after all, only a few people really want to participate.

"Quiet! Anyone who makes noise again will be severely punished!" The beautiful middle-aged woman said coldly, her face covered with frost, showing off her coercion.

After seeing everyone calm down, he then said: "Now, let's start the roll call and check the identity!"

After saying this, the beautiful woman raised her hands and waved across them, and suddenly for two days white light slowly fell on the square in the shape of a "ten", dividing hundreds of foundation-building disciples into four groups at once.

Immediately afterwards, a ray of light came from the stage, and four masters in the alchemy stage came down. They stood in front of the four groups and began to test the identity tokens of the disciples one by one.

Each of these four pill-forming monks has a list of the foundation-building disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect in their hearts. With their powerful spiritual consciousness, they can check their identities quickly, accurately and easily.

When a cold and charming woman checked Ye Ming, her cold face showed a little surprise, but she didn't say anything.

After a while, the four of them returned to the stage after completing their investigation and communicated with the beautiful middle-aged woman.

After a moment, the middle-aged beautiful woman suddenly flicked her slender hands several times, and four fist-sized white light balls shot out. In the blink of an eye, they reached the sky above the heads of the disciples. One light ball corresponded to one group of disciples.

Just when everyone was puzzled, the middle-aged beautiful woman spoke again: "The battle ahead is stalemate and we need our support, but the sect's important areas also need someone to protect them. The people left behind will be randomly selected below. Whoever the light falls on will be Leave!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the four light balls made a soft "bang" sound, and all exploded into thirty finger-sized light spots, slowly falling downwards.

Everyone watched the falling light spots nervously. Their falling trajectory was erratic, and no one knew who they would fall on.

The disciples had different thoughts. Some were silently praying that the light spot would choose them and avoid this war; others wanted to avoid the light spot, but due to the presence of their seniors, they did not dare to move.

Soon, all the light spots fell and fell on more than a hundred people. Almost all of them showed expressions of joy and breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Those who were not selected were disappointed!
A light spot also fell on Ye Ming's side, but in the end it fell on a round-faced woman.This woman's cultivation in the early stage of foundation building also showed a happy expression after being selected. With her cultivation, the chance of survival after going to the battlefield is really low, so this reaction is understandable.

Ye Ming knew that this method of selecting personnel seemed random and fair, but in fact it could definitely be manipulated by the alchemy monks on the stage.

There are many people who think like Ye Ming, but they won't say it out loud.

When the top leaders of the sect do this, at least on the surface it is fair and just, and can be understood by the vast majority of people.

After selecting the personnel, the middle-aged beautiful woman ordered: "The people who were just selected come out. You can go back. Someone will arrange your tasks later."

After hearing this, the more than a hundred foundation-building disciples came out one after another, and then without saying a word, they took up the magic weapon and flew in all directions.

After these people left, the middle-aged beautiful woman used the same method to select more than a hundred people to be responsible for organizing the Qi-refining period disciples in the sect.

This time to support the border, in addition to the foundation-building and pill-forming monks, there were also thousands of low-level disciples in the Qi refining stage participating.With so many people, someone must organize them. Otherwise, with the undisciplined personality of the immortal cultivators, there is no telling what kind of trouble will be caused.

In this selection, Ye Ming was also not selected, but two of the women around him were selected, but Cheng Ling and the charming woman remained where they were.

There are also three alchemy monks who are responsible for organizing the disciples in the Qi refining period. They are mainly used as a deterrent to prevent any accidents.

After the three pill-forming monks took away the hundred or so people, the middle-aged beautiful woman glanced at the remaining disciples several times, with a satisfied expression on her face, and said:

"Listen, disciples in the audience, you are the backbone of the sect. You will definitely play your due role when going to the border this time. I hope you can kill more enemies and make meritorious deeds. Now, I will give you an hour to go back and pack your belongings. After the hour, all personnel will gather outside the mountain gate. Anyone who fails to show up after the deadline will be punished for treason, do you understand?"

"Understood!" everyone responded, and the voices of hundreds of people gathered echoed on the mountain.

Afterwards, everyone sacrificed their magic weapons and flew toward their caves with excitement or solemnity.

Ye Ming's cave was in the same direction as Cheng Ling and the charming woman, so the three of them left together.

The three of them flew in silence for a moment, and Cheng Ling suddenly said: "Senior Sister Wang, Senior Brother Ye, when we get to the battlefield, how about the three of us acting in unison?"

"I think this works. If we stay together, we can take care of each other, and our lives are relatively safe. What do you think, Junior Brother Ye?" The charming woman thought about it and readily agreed to Cheng Ling's proposal.

Ye Ming turned around, looked at them with a slightly scrutinizing look, nodded and said, "Then I'll leave you two to take care of them!"

Cheng Ling, who was observing carefully, saw the disapproval in Ye Ming's eyes at a glance, and immediately became furious: "What kind of look do you have, do you dislike us? If you don't agree, just say it, we didn't force you!"

Ye Ming made an aggrieved expression: "I definitely didn't mean to look down on you two. What I said is true. When we get to the front line, we really need your care."

"Huh, you know what's going on!" the charming woman snorted.

Seeing this, Cheng Ling smiled slightly and said, "Okay, go back and pack your things. You'll be late later!" After saying that, she sped forward directly.

"Senior sister, I'm going back first, little brother." Seeing this, Ye Ming also accelerated his escape speed after saying hello to the charming woman.

After the woman nodded, Ye slightly changed the direction and flew away.
