Chapter 264 Meeting with Senior Management

In the Spirit Forest, the true disciples of Qingyun Sect and the senior officials in charge have all gathered here.

"This is the Law Enforcement Hall, the General Affairs Hall, the Logistics Department... They are also the true disciples of our previous generation." Zhang Zhiming introduced them.

Qingyun Sect arranges true disciples like this. Before the age of 120, true disciples can take on the least duties and get the most resources.

But if you fail to break through the Golden Core after that time, you have to bear the corresponding obligations.

Thirty years ago, that is, the previous generation of Lin Chen, the cultivators who did not break through the Golden Core, plus the cultivators of the same generation as Zhen Tian Zhenren, either lost their combat effectiveness due to old age or passed away, so they took the position.

After listening, Lin Chen nodded and said, "Hello everyone."

"Are you the true disciple who has never appeared?" Among the five people, a middle-aged female cultivator with a faint fragrance of Dan on her body looked at him curiously.

"That's right." Lin Chen nodded slightly, confirming the answer, "What advice do you have?"

"Nothing." After retracting her gaze, the middle-aged female cultivator's face and eyes returned to a calm color, and she did not continue to make any extra moves.

After all, she was not stupid. For a true disciple who could mysteriously disappear for so long, but still let the Jindan Patriarch recognize his identity, it was obviously not simple. She was not stupid enough to provoke the other party without knowing the good and the bad.

Besides, they were all adults, and they had long passed the stage of saving face. As long as it did not involve interests, there was nothing that could not be said in a good way.

However, she still reminded him out loud: "Since you are a true disciple, you have been missing for so long, and you are back, you should bear the corresponding responsibilities."

"I will." Lin Chen responded.

Although Lin Chen surprised most people present, they were colleagues after all. If it did not involve interests, they would not be hostile or even tit-for-tat.

Moreover, compared with Lin Chen, Zhang Mengyao's current situation attracted more of their attention. After all, she was an acquaintance who had known each other for a long time.

"You are... Zhang Mengyao?!" Zhang Zhiming observed carefully and finally recognized the identity of this familiar yet strange little girl. He couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "What's wrong with you now?!"

"Senior Sister Mengyao?!" Wang Cheng's eyes suddenly widened, "How did you become young again? Could it be that you have become the Childlike Grandmother of Tianshan?!"

"Zhang Mengyao?!" The middle-aged female cultivator turned her head when she heard the words, and her face became shocked after seeing the person clearly.

At the beginning, it was she who observed the other party from a distance and felt that Zhang Mengyao was beyond saving.

After all, a foundation-building cultivator, with a broken soul and a dead body, the remaining vitality was also hanging by a strange pill. What's the difference between this and death.

Let alone the golden pill, she felt that even an alchemist at the Nascent Soul level could not save her.

But she never thought that the other party not only survived, but also stood here in good condition, and was dozens of years younger. How could this be possible? !

Facing the strange eyes of the crowd, Zhang Mengyao's face turned black, and she said angrily: "This is due to healing. Don't ask anymore. Besides, the most important thing now is to meet the ancestor."

Everyone looked at each other. Even though they had countless questions in their hearts, they hesitated for a moment and did not continue to ask.

Wang Cheng wanted to ask something, but under Zhang Mengyao's sharp eyes, he shut his mouth tactfully.

The middle-aged female cultivator looked at Lin Chen thoughtfully, her eyes flickering.

Soon, everyone did not stay where they were, but walked up the mountain together.

Passing through the jungle composed of tree people, everyone fell into a white mist, and everyone continued to walk without changing their expressions.

I don't know how long it took, only to hear a ding, and the scenery in front of them suddenly changed.

I saw a huge spiritual tree covering almost half of the mountain appeared in front of everyone.

Its shade covered hundreds of meters, and countless Yimu spiritual energy turned into green light and fell from the tree.

Its spiritual leaves are green and full of vitality, and where the flowers and fruits are located, there are spiritual plants of various shapes and colors.

Chemazhi, Bujinmu, Huaimengcao, Chuanyinhua...all kinds of magical spiritual plants of Qingyun Sect are shown in it!

And below, there is an endless, lush medicinal garden, each of which has reached the second level and is being nourished by the Yimu spiritual energy that has landed from the tree.

At this moment, an old man with white hair and a childlike face, a fairy-like appearance, is floating on many spiritual plants and nodding to everyone.

"Meeting Changqing Zhenren!" Seeing this scene, the ten people hurriedly bowed.

"Get up." Changqing Zhenren nodded gently, but looking at Zhang Mengyao's figure, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

At the same time, two golden elixir spiritual shadows appeared around them, watching them.

This is the spiritual incarnation of Jindan Zhenren, who came to attend the meeting on behalf of their original bodies.

"Come on, no need to be polite." Changqing Zhenren didn't waste any words and went straight to the point. "You also know that our Jindan Zhenren has been dealing with more important things recently. What is the current situation of the war? Tell me quickly!"

The few people who knew about it looked at each other, and finally Zhang Zhiming took a step forward and reported: "Grandmaster, the current situation is like this. The front-line battle is deadlocked, the actions of the demon cultivators are unclear, and the situation is turbulent..."

Then, he described the current situation one by one.

"The market was attacked, the demon skills were secretly passed on, and there were also blood cultivators making trouble, destroying our rule, resulting in a confusing situation..."

Master Changqing pondered for a moment after hearing the words. Even though he was an old man, he didn't have to feel a little troublesome about the current situation, and he couldn't think of a solution for a while.

After thinking for a while, Master Changqing looked at everyone, "Do you have any solutions?"

Everyone fell silent for a moment. In this situation of unknown information, no one could tell whether the devil's method was just to spread suspicion, or whether it was really preparing a killing move and ambush?

There was silence among the crowd for a while, and Lin Chen finally spoke up: "In fact, I personally prefer to abandon the so-called frontline defense, retain all available forces, and retreat to the Qingyun Sect's mountain gate headquarters to avoid being defeated one by one..."

In Lin Chen's view, the war in the world of immortality is not about the size of the territory, but the high-level monks. Therefore, retaining the vitality is more important than anything else.

But before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by a middle-aged monk: "We must not give up just like this. Are we going to give up the territory we have managed for thousands of years to the demonic cultivators in vain?!"

Later, he added: "And the most important thing is that if the territory is there, we can trade space for time, but once we hit the mountain gate, we will have no way out!"

"That's right!" Zhang Mengyao also nodded, "Besides, if we just retreat like this, tens of millions of mortals in the remaining territory will be poisoned by the evil cultivators, so we can't retreat!"

"That's right, we can't retreat!"

…

Hearing everyone's objections, Lin Chen fell silent for a moment and did not continue speaking.

Although the demon cultivator's movements are unknown now, in fact, whether it is him or others, who are not human beings, they are all vaguely aware of an approaching danger.

But under the current situation, they can't retreat at all, otherwise the demonic cultivators will march straight in, turn all the mortals in the territory into a zombie wave, and besiege the mountain gate. At that time, they may be in danger of overthrowing.

Therefore, everyone knows that retreating to the mountain gate now is the best choice to retain our strength, but we still cannot retreat, otherwise we will really be in big trouble if we retreat.

So even if we know there is danger hidden, we can only try to take it one step at a time and continue to delay time.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen had to admit that although his opponent was a demon cultivator, almost every time he fought with them, the opponent used his own unavoidable conspiracy.

These demon cultivators are cunning and insidious, but when it comes to practicing the art of war, they are more upright than the others, and they are just trying to crush them!

Master Changqing also wanted to understand this, and couldn't help but ponder for a while before finally speaking: "In this case, we can only adapt to the current situation, and everyone should be prepared."

"yes!"

Just when the ten people had different thoughts and were planning to leave one after another and go back to make preparations, Master Changqing suddenly said: "The rest of you leave first, Lin Chen, you stay here for a while."

"Um?"

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, feeling that this scene seemed familiar.

He felt the probing gazes of the other people, so he didn't say anything more, but nodded.

"You should step back first." Master Changqing said calmly.

Several people looked at each other, said nothing, and simply bowed and left.

After the others had retreated, Master Changqing looked at Lin Chen and asked, "You're a kid who has always been agitated. What do you think is a good solution to the current situation?"
