Chapter 278: Lu Mansion Gathering
Chapter 278: Lu Mansion Gathering
Penglai Island is here too? It is a great island in the world of seeking the Dharma, a fairy mountain in the East China Sea, mysterious and unpredictable.
Is the Lu family so powerful that they can actually invite such an existence? While he was surprised, a servant of the Lu family came quickly and said to Ma Chao:
"Dear lords, there are special arrangements in the hall. Please follow me and take your seats in the front row."
Immediately afterwards, everyone followed the servant through the crowd, and Meng Ning looked around curiously.
In the last row, he saw the location and business card of Blue Bird Gate. The masked girl in green, Yun Xiaowei, also waved at him and greeted him.
The first thing that caught everyone's eye was a group of unknown sects.
The Golden Lion Gate, the Nine Stars Gang, the Carved Bone Hall, the Demon Refining House, the Treasure Island...
These methods are either newly created sects, or they were once glorious like the Three True Methods, but later declined.
As the group walked forward, the names of familiar sects became more and more numerous: Five Elements Sect, Shura Temple, Beast Taming Sect, Samsara Sea…
Finally, when everyone walked to the front row, the names of the people sitting on the seats were already well-known. Penglai Island, Laoshan Dharma Assembly, Wuxianhui, Qianji Hall, Jiujiemen, all of them were famous Dharma-seeking families in the world.
"Tsk tsk, Lu Dahai is really arrogant." Meng Ning muttered to himself, "With this kind of ceremony, even the emperor would be ashamed of himself."
Wait, Thousand Machines Hall! Nine Realms Gate!
Meng Ning looked at the people who came to seek the Dharma behind the Qianji Pavilion's business card, and suddenly saw two familiar figures.
"Shit! Jin Miao and Tiger Daisheng!"
Meng Ning narrowed his eyes and took a closer look. They were the two people he had met a few days ago.
At this moment, they were standing behind the business card of Qianji Hall, waving over here with a smile, but no matter how Meng Ning looked at it, he felt that these two people had bad intentions.
There was no way. He had just threatened these two people and even left the Zhuikong Seal between their chests. Based on his understanding of their personalities, it was impossible for them not to hate him.
Haishan lowered his head deeply when passing by Penglai, wishing he could hide himself in Meng Ning's sleeves.
Fortunately, Meng Ning's demeanor at this time was so extraordinary that he attracted everyone's attention.
There is no way around it, this is how the third level of Reverse Rebirth is. People who practice it will become the focus of attention wherever they go.
The participants from the Nine Realms Gate were very interesting, no, perhaps very familiar.
One is dressed in purple gauze, with a graceful figure, which arouses people's reverie; the other has a head full of white hair, eyes closed, and an extraordinary temperament.
Meng Ning's heart tightened upon seeing this. In his memory of his previous life, these outfits represented the two future supreme beings of the Nine Realms Sect, Xiang Yuyin and Heizhu.
These two became extremely difficult to deal with after becoming masters of great powers, but fortunately, they are now only just stepping into the threshold of intermediate powers.
But these two people are responsible for spreading the Blood of All Industries in the Nine Realms Gate, so how come they are here?
Could it be that the events in Yangzhou City were also the work of the Nine Realms Sect?
Meng Ning's heart tightened, but he knew that he couldn't cause any trouble at this moment, because although the Nine Realms Gate was the base camp of the undead, its position had not been exposed in this era.
At this time, the Nine Realms Sect was a well-known and upright sect in the Dharma-seeking world, and even a leading figure.
Just as Meng Ning fell into deep thought, Hei Zhu seemed to sense something and turned to look over here.
Her gaze lingered on Meng Ning for a moment, a seductive smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she stared at Meng Ning with seductive eyes.
Meng Ning now has a handsome complexion and looks like a fairy in white clothes. It is obvious that he has caught the eye of Sister Heizhu.
Heizhu stared at Meng Ning with burning eyes, winked playfully, and then whispered to Xiang Yuyin, who had long white hair and kept her eyes closed beside him.
"Brother, this handsome boy is really good. He is so handsome that people want to take a bite of him. I am a little moved and want to have some fun with him in my free time. You will agree, right?" She raised a playful smile at the corner of her mouth.
Xiang Yuyin frowned slightly when he heard this, and said calmly: "I can't see through this kid, so put away those infatuated thoughts of yours. Be careful not to play with fire and get burned, you won't even know when someone eats you up."
He looked at Meng Ning thoughtfully, "But this kid does have a familiar aura, so it's no surprise that you're interested in him."
Heizhu immediately became interested and asked, "Oh? What's that aura? Could he be the hidden man our master left in Yangzhou City?"
"No." Xiang Yuyin shook his head, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, "It is the breath of my Lord."
"My Lord? Are you kidding?" Hei Zhu was stunned for a moment, then he used his divine sense to exclaim in Xiang Yuyin's mind, "Wait, you are not saying that this boy is an undead corpse?"
She stared at Meng Ning with eyes wide open in disbelief, but she couldn't detect any trace of corpse energy.
Xiang Yuyin waved his hand impatiently, "It doesn't matter if he is an undead corpse or not. As long as he doesn't interfere with our plan, it's fine."
Finally, he warned Heizhu, "Remember, we just arrived in Yangzhou City. Our first task is to find the hidden man left by the Sect Master. Don't make trouble."
Heizhu curled his lips and muttered unwillingly: "I know, it's really boring."
She secretly glanced at Meng Ning and thought to herself: It would be a shame not to play with such an interesting little brother.
Afterwards, Meng Ning and others were led to sit on the left side of the main seat. Since ancient times, the seating order has been from the left to the right, so this position can be said to be extremely honorable.
Lu Dahai actually arranged a small sect like the Sanzhen Dharma Sect at the upper left, even above the positions of many powerful sects in the Dharma-seeking world present.
What does this mean? It is clearly telling everyone that in Lu Dahai's eyes, the Three True Methods are the main force in this corpse removal operation.
Ma Chao knew it very well. This was because Lu Dahai made such arrangements because he believed that the strength displayed by Meng Ning and others in Sanchuan Town was comparable to that of those who sought the Dharma with great supernatural powers.
Although the other wealthy families seeking the Dharma have noble status, at most only those who have reached the intermediate level of divine power come here to seek the Dharma.
Yesterday, Meng Ning easily defeated Jin Wuxin and Jin Wuyi, two people from Baotianyuan who were running rampant in the Jiangnan region.
In Lu Dahai's eyes at this moment, among all the people present, only San Zhen and his group were the most powerful.
There's nothing wrong with the way he arranges it.
But how could other sects know the twists and turns? At that moment, everyone looked at Meng Ning and others with unfriendly eyes.
"Humph, this is outrageous!" An elder of the Wuxian Association couldn't help but complain in a low voice, "A mere unknown small sect is worthy of sitting at the head of the group?"
"That's right, why don't you take a piss and look at your own character?" another disciple of the Wuxian Society echoed.
Seeing that the people of the Wuxian Association were about to make a scene, someone suddenly spoke up to smooth things over: "Everyone calm down, the Lu family has their own arrangements, we should just keep quiet."
The person who spoke was Jin Wuxin from Baotianyuan. Although he looked unhappy, he did not intend to get angry. Jin Wuyi also had a gloomy face, but he just sat there silently.
Seeing this, the Wuxian Society members immediately stopped their activities and sat back down in dismay. Baotianyuan had been operating in the Jiangnan area for a long time, and this place was their territory. Now that the local tyrants hadn't said anything, it was even harder for them, the outsiders who had come to help, to say anything.
And this must also prove one thing, that is, Sanzhen and his group must be no simple people.
Afterwards, everyone's attention was once again focused on Meng Ning behind Ma Chao, hoping to find out some details.
