The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 392 The Mysterious Qinglong Society
"Comfortable."

After Fang Xun finished drinking the noodle soup with a gulp, he gave the noodle soup and the food in front of him to Old Man Li. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the young man's voice again.

"My dear brother, meeting is fate. Today is the 100th birthday of Baiyun Sect's leader Jia Zizai, and he is inviting all the heroes to a banquet. Why don't we go and join in the fun?"

While he was eating a bowl of noodles, the young man and the girl had finished reading the list and walked out of the Jinyu Tower. Seeing Fang Xun still there, the young man took the initiative to step forward and invite him.

They met by chance, but Fang Xun's seamless martial arts skills left a deep impression on him, and he immediately wanted to make friends with him.

Fang Xun smiled upon hearing this and said, "Great! I heard that Fang Man, the second head of the Four Shapes Hall, will also be here today. It's a good opportunity for us to go together and see this extraordinary and beautiful woman who is so famous in the martial arts world!"

He loves to join in the fun. To be honest, after traveling to this world, he seems to have never experienced the world of martial arts seriously.

The girl suddenly laughed and said, "How long have you not been back to Jiangnan? Everyone in Jiangnan knows that Fairy Dongfang has long since restored her real name, yet you are still calling her Fang Man."

Fang Xun was stunned for a moment. He really didn't know about this, and Dongfang Que didn't mention this matter when he met him before.

"Three years ago, the Dongfang family of Guangling Prefecture in Jiangzhou was framed and the entire family was executed. Only Fairy Dongfang survived. She had to hide her identity and later joined the Black Hand Sword and became a master of Yin God. The King of Yue has also vindicated her for what happened back then."

Fang Xun saw stars in the girl's eyes, and it was obvious that she admired Dongfang Que, who was also a "woman".

"The Eastern Fairy has gone through many hardships before she finally achieved success. She is truly a role model for our generation!"

Looking at the girl in front of him who was full of admiration, Fang Xun couldn't help but touch his nose: "Well, I did just return to Jiangnan not long ago."

"Haha, it's fate that we meet by chance. Brother, you're new here, so we can talk on the way."

Amid the young man's laughter, the three of them walked slowly.

"Brother, from your accent, you seem to be from Hunan?"

Fang Xun nodded and said, "I am from Guangling, Jiangzhou, and I have just come to Yuzhou."

"Guangling, Black Hand Sword is also from Guangling," the girl's eyes suddenly lit up, "I wonder what your family does, are you familiar with Black Hand Sword?"

"Ahem, please don't be offended, my junior sister is just this impetuous."

The young man quickly interrupted and said, "How can you ask about other people's family affairs right away?"

"I haven't been introduced yet. I am Li Changkong from the Golden Crane Sect, and this is my junior sister Duan Yun."

"Miss Duan is straightforward and innocent, so why would I be surprised? My surname is Fang, and my given name is Xiao. Although I have the same surname, I have nothing to do with the Black Hand Sword."

As he spoke, he began to smile bitterly. Li Changkong did not think too much about it. There were so many people with the surname Fang in the world. It was normal to have the same surname, and it was also normal for them to have no relationship.

Duan Yun didn't think much about it and said curiously, "Since Brother Fang is from Jiangzhou, you should have heard of the Qinglong Society, right?
I heard that it's not just the Black Hand Sword, but the mysterious Azure Dragon Society that seemed to have risen overnight also first appeared in Jiangzhou. I wonder if Brother Fang knows any news about it?"

"I'm sorry to disappoint Miss Duan again. I may not know much more than you do."

Fang Xun sighed.

"I am just a small Tongmai, and my family is not a wealthy family. How can a small person like me know too much about the Qinglong Society, a deep-sea giant?"

Duan Yun and Li Changkong also looked vaguely when they heard this.

Qinglonghui.

This is a very mysterious organization, so mysterious that no one in Jiangnan knows its past and present.

No one knows who leads this organization, what its structure is, or when it appeared in the world.

It is incredibly mysterious, yet gives people an incredibly powerful feeling. It ignores the rules of the martial arts world, does not follow morality, and has only its own set of codes of conduct.

The first time it was known to the world was in Jiangzhou.

It was in May last year when the leader of a sect in Jiangzhou suddenly achieved a breakthrough to the level of Yin Shen.

Although this incident caused some shock in Jiangzhou.

Because according to public information, although this sect leader has some qualifications, he was only an ordinary person in the Enlightenment Realm before. He did not have a superior method of Enlightenment, and it was difficult for him to make progress.

Who would have thought that he would break through the Yin Shen realm out of the blue.

And then the leader actually disclosed the existence of the Qinglong Society, and spread the word that it was an evil organization hiding in the shadows.

At first, no one took it seriously, thinking that this guy was crazy.

After all, the existence of a huge organization cannot be without traces, and we can always find some clues. If it is said to be Black Water Abyss, it is somewhat credible.

But suddenly the Qinglong Society popped up, and everyone just thought that this guy was drunk.

But what was shocking next was that seven more Yin Shen realm masters also swore to publicly reveal the existence of the Qinglong Society.

Among these seven masters, some are gang leaders, some are commanders of the local army, and some are heads of aristocratic families. Among them, only one is from Jiangzhou, and the remaining six are from Linzhou, two from Huzhou, and three from Wuzhou.

This shocked everyone and they finally began to face the matter.

But not long after, all eight of them died again. The ways of death varied. Some were poisoned, some were assassinated, and some even committed suicide!
But no matter how they died, they died quietly, and it was a long time before anyone discovered their bodies.

At this point, the Jiangnan martial arts world was in an uproar, and many masters from various factions gathered together, wanting to eradicate the Qinglong Society, a mysterious organization hidden in the dark. The previous Black Water Abyss had already made people nervous, and now there was the Qinglong Society, which immediately made most of the Jiangnan sects furious.

But what was shocking was that no matter how they investigated or searched, they could not find any clues, as if the Qinglong Society really did not exist in this world.

After three months of fruitless efforts, all factions in the martial arts world had to stop their activities, and until now the Qinglong Society is still hiding in the dark.

If those eight Yin Shen Realm masters had not really died, people would probably doubt whether the Qinglong Society really existed.

As for the harm, the Qinglong Society has not made any serious big news, but it is too mysterious, so mysterious that it makes people feel uneasy.

The three of them were silent for a while before Fang Xun spoke up to change the subject.

"Let's not talk about this. We, the little people, don't need to worry about this kind of thing. Let's talk about Baiyun Sect. I'm a newcomer here, and I don't know much about Qianfeng Mansion. I would like to ask you two to introduce it to me, so as not to embarrass myself at the banquet."

He really didn't know anything about Baiyun Sect, Jinhe Sect, or anything like that.

The forces Fang Xun usually dealt with were at most the Tianluo Sect, which had a Grandmaster Yangshen in charge. There were countless martial arts sects in various parts of Jiangnan, and he had no interest in understanding them all.

After hearing this, Duan Yun immediately threw the Qinglong Society aside and a smile appeared on her face again.

The Qinglong Society, a behemoth like it, was too far away from them, so they just mentioned it casually, but when introducing their own place, they talked endlessly.

"The reason why our Qianfeng Prefecture is named Qianfeng is because there are many mountains here, like a thousand peaks standing side by side. There are no famous sects, but there are many strange stones and rich minerals in the mountains, so there are many blacksmiths and all kinds of weapons are produced in abundance."

"The Jinhe Sect where we are and the Baiyun Sect we are about to go to are both engaged in iron smelting and sword casting. They rely on the Yuewang Mansion for their livelihood. The relationship between the two sects is pretty good."

Duan Yun introduced incessantly, and Li Changkong beside her also interjected a few words from time to time.

When they talked about the Yue Palace as their backer, the two of them were beaming with joy. However, when they talked about some of their disciples being sent to Wuzhou to be commissioned by the Yue King and being given official positions, they vaguely revealed a bit of envy and jealousy.

Fang Xun didn't expect that this person had joined his own sect.

Listening to the two introducing the customs, power structure and local famous masters of Qianfeng Prefecture, he was also very interested.

The gate of Baiyunmen was on a mountain not far outside the city, and the three of them arrived there in no time after chatting for a while.

After going up the mountain, Fang Xun saw a noisy scene.

To celebrate the 100th birthday of the head of Baiyun Sect, there was a buffet with hundreds of tables set up in an open square. Heroes from all walks of life drank wine in big bowls and ate large chunks of meat, and the place was bustling with activity.

Fang Xun and the other two also entered the venue. Along the way, many people took the initiative to talk to Duan Yun and Li Changkong.

The Jinhe Sect where the two of them are located has only three enlightened masters. It has no reputation in other places, but it is also a big sect in Qianfeng Prefecture.

The brothers and sisters were all true disciples of the sect, and were also considered famous young heroes in the area. Many people took the initiative to come up and greet them warmly.

But Fang Xun didn't get this treatment. He was just politely told "I've heard a lot about you".

The three of them moved around the table and finally found a round table with an empty seat to sit down. The other people at the table also smiled and took the initiative to chat with Duan Yun and Li Changkong.

As for Fang Xun, he just said "I've heard a lot about you" and that was it.

Fang Xun didn't care. He grabbed a chicken leg and started gnawing on it, while his peripheral vision kept scanning the scene.

Dongfang Que was soon found at the main table.

Dongfang Que was still wearing a bright red dress, her pink neck slightly turned, and her fair face occasionally revealed a shy smile, just like a lady from a noble family living in the boudoir.

Although many people almost lost their souls after watching it, no one dared to look at it for too long.

Although she is a beauty, she is also a master of Yin Shen. Who knows if looking at her for too long will make her unhappy.

During the meal, more attention was attracted by another beautiful figure beside Dongfang Que.

If Dongfang Que is the gentle beauty from the south of the Yangtze River, then the girl sitting next to him is the spirit of heaven and earth, and the essence of mountains and rivers. People who see her will sigh that this girl is not from this mortal world.

The girl had snow-white hair and a pretty face. In terms of beauty, she was not necessarily better than Dongfang Que.

But its whole body is round and harmonious, revealing an ethereal and natural beauty, as if it was born and raised naturally.

In his hand he held a strange whisk. It was strange because the handle of the whisk was a sword.

It is the sword worn by Xiao Meng in "The Legend of Qin". Zhuangzi was also inspired by this sword when he wrote "The Happy Journey".

The girl holding Qiuli is none other than Bai Qingmeng, who has the memories of the White Lotus Mother, Aqing and Xiaomeng and is reborn from the ashes.

As if sensing Fang Xun's gaze, Bai Qingmeng turned her head slightly, met his eyes, and couldn't help but smile.

This smile seemed to make the heaven and earth pale in comparison.

At this moment, the noisy square suddenly became quiet.

In everyone's senses, the glance between the two seemed to last for ten thousand years in an instant.
