Chapter 275 Multi-party Talks
He turned his head suddenly and was shocked to find that a monk with a gun had appeared there at some point in time.
The dangerous aura just now emanated from this person, but Chen Li did not expect that this person would actually come to support Xuanjian Sect.
"I really didn't expect that I was a step late this time." Zhou Pingfeng looked at the situation in front of him and said calmly.
He had received a request for help from the Xuanjian Sect, so he rushed over as soon as possible. He didn't expect that there was someone who was faster than him.
Moreover, this person was actually the young man whom he met in the Boundless Sea before. Judging from his aura, he seemed to have reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
Chen Li looked at Zhou Pingfeng over there and smiled, "Elder Zhou, I never thought that you would come to Xuanjian Sect."
"The leader of the Xuanjian Sect and I are old acquaintances. Since he got into trouble this time, I naturally had to come and take a look." Zhou Pingfeng replied.
Originally, he was thinking of doing Xuanjian Sect a favor by this means, but he didn't expect that Chen Li would solve this matter so easily.
Yun Yi and others on the side had already removed the protective shield. Now standing in front of them were two mid-Nascent Soul cultivators, and Zhou Pingfeng was also the third elder of Lingxiao Sect.
"Uncle Zhou." Yun Yi walked up to Zhou Pingfeng and spoke respectfully.
Looking at Yun Yi's cultivation, Zhou Pingfeng nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that he has reached the late Jindan stage. It is rare to have such a cultivation at this age in a hundred years."
If it were in the past, Yun Yi might have felt a little happy, but now he couldn't be happy at all.
Because Chen Li, who was standing next to him, was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. At the beginning, Chen Li's cultivation was weaker than his. How come he had become so powerful now?
"Since everyone is here, I have something to say. I wonder if you can listen?" Chen Li looked at the two of them and said seriously.
Zhou Pingfeng nodded, "Okay, I'd like to hear what you have to say."
"In that case, let's go to the conference room. My father is still recovering from his injuries, and I am currently in charge of the Xuanjian Sect." Yun Yi said, and then took them away.
Not long after, they arrived at the conference room. The three of them slowly sat down and all looked at Chen Li, intending to listen to what he had to say.
Chen Li said, "We, the Nanli Sect, plan to attack the demons in Square City in the near future."
When these words were spoken, the two of them were stunned. They did not expect that Nanli Zong would have such an idea.
"I'm not trying to discourage you. Although you have reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, there are two of them there. Can you deal with two by yourself?" Zhou Pingfeng looked at Chen Li and questioned him.
Chen Li shook his head. "Of course I can't do it, but I think if you, Elder Zhou, join us, we can handle it with one person each."
As he said this, he took out the thank you token he had given earlier and placed it on the table.
His original plan was to go to Lingxiao Sect, meet with Zhou Pingfeng, and have a good talk about this matter.
Now that Zhou Pingfeng suddenly appeared in Xuanjian Sect, he also saved himself the trouble of going to Lingxiao Sect.
Looking at this token of gratitude, Zhou Pingfeng slowly took it back and asked, "How long will it take?"
"I don't know about this either, but in the near future, if Elder Zhou can't sit still, he can go to Square City to inquire about the news first." Chen Li looked at Zhou Pingfeng and said seriously.
Zhou Pingfeng touched his chin, thought about it again and again, and nodded in agreement, "I understand, I will help you this time."
Yun Yi on the side was almost speechless with shock. Although the two of them were equally powerful, Chen Li actually dared to order Zhou Pingfeng to do something, and to gather information.
Wouldn't this really make Zhou Pingfeng unhappy? After all, as an elder of one of the top three sects, he must have a temper.
But looking at Zhou Pingfeng's expression, he didn't seem angry at all. Instead, he accepted Chen Li's proposal very directly.
"So, what are your plans for the Xuanjian Sect?" Chen Li looked at Yun Yi and asked him.
Even though only Chen Li and Zhou Pingfeng were needed to deal with the demons in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, there were still many ants there. If they caused any trouble, it would distract the two of them.
After thinking it over again and again, Yun Yi nodded and agreed, "Since you have already said so, then I naturally agree."
Chen Li saved their Xuanjian Sect, so since they had such a request, they naturally had to agree to it.
Besides, this is not a losing game. With two cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, success or failure almost depends on their strength.
"Now that the matter has been settled, I will take my leave first. We will inform you of the time after things are settled in the next few days." After Chen Li finished speaking, he slowly stood up and walked outside.
Watching Chen Li leave, Yun Yi felt helpless in his heart. He never expected that this guy could have reached such a terrifying level.
"What? Do you know that person?" Zhou Pingfeng looked at Yun Yi and asked him.
Yun Yi nodded, "Uncle Zhou, if I say that when I first met him, his cultivation was lower than mine, would you believe it?"
Zhou Pingfeng looked at Yun Yi with a strange look in his eyes, "Yun Yi, I remember you are not the kind of person who likes to joke around."
"Of course I'm not kidding you. When I first met him, he was only in the middle stage of foundation building. But after only a hundred years, he has already reached the Nascent Soul stage." Yun Yi smiled bitterly and said to Zhou Pingfeng.
Zhou Pingfeng touched his chin. He naturally believed what Yun Yi said, but could a person really reach the Nascent Soul stage from the Foundation Establishment stage in just a hundred years?
Could it be that the boy has some unique magic weapon that can quickly improve his cultivation?
But it is impossible to improve so quickly with just magic weapons. I guess I have other things on hand, and my luck is also very good.
It seems necessary to pay attention to this kid named Chen Li. If he is allowed to continue to develop, it may shake the status of Lingxiao Sect.
As for Chen Li, he naturally didn't know what Zhou Pingfeng and the others were thinking. He had already helped the Xuanjian Sect to deal with the matter and had also received their help. Of course, there was no need to waste time.
When I returned to Nanli Sect again, it was already night, but there were still many disciples here discussing things.
When Chen Li returned to Lingyun Peak, he saw Xiao Yuan sitting there.
"Master, why are you here?" Chen Li was quite surprised after seeing Xiao Yuan.
Seeing Chen Li coming back so quickly, Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "I just want to talk to you about something."
Although he was waiting for Chen Li here, he was prepared to wait for two or three days. However, he did not expect that Chen Li would handle the matter in just one day.
Chen Li sat down and said, "It should be about the expedition against the demons in Square City."
"Well, currently there are zero sects that have agreed to help us. I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle." Xiao Yuan looked at Chen Li, appearing a little bitter.
Chen Li stroked his chin. He didn't expect that even though he had offered such generous conditions, they had no intention of helping him.
After thinking it over again and again, he seemed to understand what those sects meant: "Since they don't intend to help, and just let us take action and reap the benefits, then we will do it ourselves."
"That's true, but with just the few of us, it might be quite troublesome to deal with those demons." Xiao Yuan said with a long sigh.
He knew too well what those sects were thinking. To put it bluntly, they were using them as guns. If they failed, they would continue to guard their own sects. If they succeeded, those demons would retreat and they would not have to put in any effort at all.
Chen Li shook his head. "I've thought about this before. Since they don't want to help us, we won't help them in the future."
If they encounter an invasion by demons in the future, let them deal with it on their own. After all, it is their own fault.
"This kind of thing is easy to say, but if we arouse their resentment, they will turn their spearheads towards us. Besides, we are not the sect leaders, so where do we get such great power?" Xiao Yuan unfolded his folding fan and smiled faintly.
Chen Li shook his head and did not continue talking. The sudden appearance of a demon at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage in the Xuanjian Sect meant that the other side would have more Nascent Soul stage combat power.
At that time, other sects might also encounter such attacks, but among the top 100 sects, there are not so many Nascent Soul cultivators. Even the leaders of some sects are only Golden Core cultivators.
With their level of cultivation, it is impossible for them to stop the attack of the Yuanying stage demons, and they can only ask for help in the end.
Currently, Nanli Sect has two Nascent Soul cultivators, Chen Li and Xiao Yuan. Xiao Yuan and Chen Li are master and disciple. If Chen Li does not agree to go to help, Xiao Yuan naturally will not go either.
"By the way, I have talked to the people from Xuanjian Sect, and they are willing to help. Elder Zhou from Lingxiao Sect is already on his way to Square City, and he plans to gather information first." Chen Li said.
Xiao Yuan nodded, feeling very surprised. He didn't expect that during the time when Chen Li went to help Xuanjian Sect, he had actually negotiated this matter with them.
"Okay, since they are all ready, we naturally can't wait any longer. Let's rest for three days and then set off." Xiao Yuan said .
Because the elder who came to Xuanjian Sect for help has not left yet, we just need to tell him about this matter and ask him to go back and report it.
While he was thinking, a very hurried voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Elder Chen, Elder Xiao, something terrible has happened."
