The leader of the Jiulian Sect?

Several sect leaders looked at the newcomer. He was a handsome young man wearing a black robe embroidered with nine lotus flowers. He was holding a jade flute and had a faint smile on his face.

Although he had a half-mask on his face, his handsome appearance made people think that he must be a handsome man.

Although everyone was confused, they wondered when the Nine Lotus Sect appeared in Taoism.

But they saved them after all, so everyone bowed and thanked them: "Thank you for your help, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would be dead today!"

The young man put away his flute and said with a smile, "When we see injustice, we should help. Besides, Brother Chen Lie invited me, so why shouldn't I come?"

Qiu Mingzi bowed to him and said, "Excuse me, fellow Taoist, what is your name?"

"My surname is Nan, and my given name is 'Xi'. I am honored to be the leader of the Nine Lotus Sect. I hope you can support me in the future!"

Nan Xi was so polite that Li Shuanghua couldn't help but feel fond of her. He smiled and said, "Nine Lotus Sect? I am ignorant and don't think I have heard of it. I wonder when it was founded?"

Nan Xi raised the corner of her mouth slightly and smiled faintly: "It was originally the Nine Chrysanthemum Sect of Japan. After I succeeded as the leader, I changed the name to the Nine Lotus Sect."

Everyone was shocked: "Japanese?"

They had no good feelings towards the Japanese. Not only did Japan have vicious pirates, it also produced a large number of ninjas and killers. The sorcerers of the Jiujiu School were especially good at sorcery and had little contact with the Taoist sects in the Central Plains.

"Not really." Nan Xi smiled, "It was just a coincidence."

Xuanling Zhenren had escaped, and his disciples Sun Boyu and Zhou Boguang were captured. Zhang Tianshi's direct disciples and sons were either exiled far away or left the mountain in anger. The Tianshi Mansion was leaderless for a while.

Finally, Qiu Mingzi made the decision to let Zhang Tianshi's youngest junior brother, the honest and fawning Xuancheng Zhenren, take over as the temporary leader.

Master Xuancheng timidly invited these big men to the inner hall and served them tea.

In the meeting room, the candlelight flickered, casting the figures of the people in dim and bright light.

Master Xuancheng sat in the main seat, his hands tightly gripping the armrests, his knuckles turning white, his face full of anxiety and uneasiness.

In the mist of tea fragrance, Wu Jiuzi stroked the handle of the peach wood sword, his eyes as sharp as a torch: "Master Nan just said it was a coincidence, I wonder where Master Nan is from? Why did the Jiuju Sect change its name and come to the Central Plains thousands of miles away? "

His words were like a silver needle that instantly pierced the apparent peace, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.

Nan Xi smiled slightly: "To be honest, I am from Nanyang, and my ancestors were also from Da Chu. They went to Nanyang to do business in their early years, and my family has a little extra wealth."

"Half a year ago, I was escorting a merchant ship through Japan and encountered pirates. After I captured them, I discovered that they were colluding with the Jiuju Sect!"

"I was so angry that I launched a counter-robbery and went straight to the Nine Chrysanthemum Sect's lair."

Nan Xi laughed, "I didn't expect that the famous Jiuju Sect in Japan would be so vulnerable!"

"In order to save their lives, those Japanese pirates were willing to recognize me as their leader, so I accepted it with a smile. I renamed them the Nine Lotus Sect and brought them under my command. This also eliminated a major cancer for merchant ships passing through the sea."

All the sect leaders were horrified.

The Nine Chrysanthemum Sect of Japan is also known as the "Eastern Esoteric Evil Sect". They practice forbidden techniques, control ghosts, and perform evil magic. Although they have no dealings with the Taoist sect in the Central Plains, they are said to be very powerful. How could they be so defeated by this young man in his twenties who killed them so badly that they were willing to acknowledge him as their leader?

One can imagine how high Nan Xi's level of Taoism is!

Just now, he broke the evil formation of Xuanling Zhenren with his own strength, which shows that his skills are definitely above everyone else!

I don’t know which sect in Southeast Asia could have produced such a master!

Li Shuanghua praised: "Fellow Daoist Nan, this is a great act! Taking the Jiuju Sect under your command and removing the cancer from the merchant ships passing by on the sea is truly a move that benefits the people!"

Qiu Mingzi stroked his long beard and called out "Wulian Tianzun". He then asked, "Why did the Southern Sect Leader come to the Central Plains this time?"

Nan Xi smiled and said, "I have always longed for the Central Plains. My family's merchant ship came to Da Chu to do business, so I came to see the charm of the Central Plains Taoism."

"I ran into Brother Chen Lie by chance, and we hit it off right away, so I went to Longhu Mountain with him."

He did not mention at all that he had saved everyone, which made all the leaders feel good about him and naturally let down their guard.

Wu Jiuzi laughed and said, "Since you are traveling in the Central Plains, Daoist Nan must stay in our Maoshan Sect for a few days so that I can show my hospitality to you."

Nan Xi bowed and smiled, "Since fellow Daoist has invited me so warmly, I will respectfully obey your command."

Only Lin Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.

He knew very well what kind of person Chen Lie was. He was strong-willed, reckless, vicious, selfish, and did things without considering the consequences. How could someone who could "hit it off" and share the same bad habits with him be a good person?

Chen Lie said dissatisfiedly: "You are only concerned with questioning my brother. Aren't you trying to arrest that old thief Xuan Ling? Are you going to let him get away with it?"

"Xuan Ling Zhenren practices evil magic. How can we stay out of this heinous crime?"

Qiu Mingzi was the first to break the silence, and waved the whisk in his hand heavily, "My Quanzhen Sect is willing to send 20 disciples to form a criminal hunting team to hunt down Xuan Ling and his remaining evildoers!"

"Master Qiu, please don't worry." Wu Jiuzi stroked his beard, his eyes deep, "Xuan Ling has been operating in Longhu Mountain for many years. In my opinion, it is better to ask Master Xuan Cheng to clean up the mess first."

Xuan Cheng Zhenren stammered: "We will naturally do this..."

Lin Xuan sneered and knocked the ground with his ebony staff: "By the time you clear the door, Xuan Ling will have already escaped to the ends of the earth! Why not just offer a reward! In the name of Longhu Mountain, who knows all the Taoist sects in the world, issue a kill order for Xuan Ling!"

Li Shuanghua frowned, a little worried: "But Xuan Ling is ruthless. If he is pushed into a corner, he might do something desperate and hurt innocent people. Why don't we act in secret?"

Everyone held different opinions and the argument continued.

Xuan Cheng Zhenren looked at the quarreling people, swallowed his saliva, and said in a trembling voice: "What you Taoist friends said makes sense. Longhu Mountain is willing to cooperate fully and provide all the information about Xuan Ling, as well as his possible hiding place."

At this point, he gritted his teeth, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, "This incident is all the fault of Longhu Mountain. I will definitely redeem myself and personally lead the team to participate in the arrest!"

Nan Xi, who had been watching quietly, smiled slightly at this moment, and gently turned the jade flute in her hand: "My Jiulian Sect has some connections with some secret forces, maybe I can get some information."

"it is good!"

Finally, everyone agreed to unite and form the Taoist Alliance.

The first agenda of the Taoist Alliance: arrest the evil cultivator Xuanling Zhenren.

Qiu Mingzi, Wu Jiuzi, Lin Xuan, Chen Lie and Li Shuanghua each led their sect's elite to block the main roads;

Xuan Cheng Zhenren, in the name of Longhu Mountain, is well-versed in all the Taoist sects in the world. He orders Xuan Ling to be killed and leads the Longhu Mountain disciples to search the surrounding area.

Nan Xi was responsible for obtaining information about the evil cultivators through special channels.

An operation to capture Master Xuanling began.

"Then, the next topic is to discuss how to quell this internal strife among the monsters."

Qiu Mingzi said.
