Chapter 789: Recruiting a Disciple, Banquet!
Ding Xue chatted with Wei Hong for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.
After all, Ding Xuenai is one of the protagonists of today's banquet. She needs to meet and receive too many guests, and she must stay by Beitang Mo's side. Being able to lure Wei Hong to his seat and talk with him for a long time is already extremely impressive. Pay attention to Wei Hong's performance.
It is precisely because of this that many monks in the hall on the third floor looked at Wei Hong differently. Some monks not only whispered beside him, but also quietly inquired about Wei Hong's identity.
Especially after someone recognized Wei Hong, they immediately came over to chat with him warmly.
There were also some who had not yet recognized Wei Hong's identity, but after seeing how seriously Ding Xue treated Wei Hong, they felt that this person was not an ordinary person, so they came over to make friends one after another.
As a result, before the banquet really started, the table where Wei Hong was sitting became lively, causing other guests to constantly turn their attention.
Wei Hong naturally did not dare to offend anyone, so he could only smile politely and speak more cautiously. After all, the people here were all high-status people, and each one of them was a monk at the foundation level or above. The attitude of these people was quite enthusiastic, so Wei Hong naturally had to be more friendly.
Of course, there are also many people who think highly of themselves, or who have a good background. Naturally, these people look down on Wei Hong. They just look on with cold eyes and do not get even half a step closer.
Wei Hong himself also felt a headache, but he could only bite the bullet and continue to deal with it.
Fortunately, the banquet was about to begin, and the surrounding guests slowly returned to their seats.
Wei Hong quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then sighed secretly: "Sure enough, it is better to practice in seclusion. If you can not participate in such occasions, you should try not to participate!"
Even though there seemed to be many monks with good status at this banquet, he didn't know the details of those people, and he didn't want to deliberately make friends with them, so there was no need to cling to anything.
At this time, it seemed that all the guests had arrived. Beitang Mo stood up, looked around and greeted loudly: "Everyone, thank you fellow Taoists for coming to the disciple's apprenticeship banquet. Please take a look, this is This is Ding Xue, Xue’er, my newly recruited disciple from Beitang Mo. Come and meet fellow Taoists!”
After hearing this, Ding Xue immediately stood up from behind Beitang Mo, then bowed her hands and saluted all around: "Ding Xue, I have met all the seniors and fellow Taoists. I hope that all the seniors and fellow Taoists can take care of me in the future!"
< br>
Seeing that the real owner had appeared, all the guests invited to the banquet praised him:
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Ding is so polite. From now on it should be Fellow Daoist Ding who takes care of us!"
"Yes, yes, yes, Daoyou Ding can be valued by the Beitang Pavilion Master, so he must have extraordinary talent, right?"
"Congratulations to the Master of the Beitang Pavilion. You have found another good disciple with extraordinary talent. I really envy the rest of us!"
"Haha, that's right, Fellow Daoist Ding, we have to move around more in the future!"
Ding Xue was almost embarrassed by the praise from everyone, so she could only smile shyly.
When Beitang Mo saw this, he pressed his hands and said with a smile: "Haha, since you have already met Xue'er, I would like to ask for your support in the future!"
"Come on, let's start!"
Following Beitang Mo's order, two teams of maids carrying trays immediately filed in and began to serve various delicacies and spirits, which also represented the official start of the banquet.
Looking at the delicious wine and delicacies full of spiritual energy on the table, Wei Hong did not move his chopsticks in a hurry. Instead, a thought suddenly came to his mind: "There are so many monks gathered here, and I don't know if there are evil spirits from the Blood Spirit Sect." Come in?"
When this thought appeared, it never left his mind.
So Wei Hong couldn't help but use the Spiritual Light Treasure Mirror to slowly scan around while others were moving their chopsticks. It didn't matter if he didn't look at it, but the result after scanning with the Spiritual Light Treasure Book suddenly shocked his heart.
"Hiss"
Wei Hong couldn't help but take a deep breath of cold air in his heart, and at the same time hurriedly looked back, and then murmured in shock in his heart: "This, so many?"
Although he just glanced at it casually, what he saw was a large amount of blood red. This was because many monks present had blood of varying concentrations on their bodies. These monks were obviously chess pieces controlled by the Blood Spirit Sect. .
Such an astonishing discovery immediately shocked and disturbed him.
"What should we do? It's just a banquet, and there are already so many chess pieces of the Blood Spirit Sect. Is it possible that the Cangshan Fairy City has been almost infiltrated?"
When he thought of this, Wei Hong's uneasiness became more intense.
Who would have thought that the Blood Spirit Sect had penetrated so deeply into the Cangshan Fairy City silently. Even many monks themselves did not expect that they would become the Blood Spirit Sect's pawns. However, the Blood Spirit Sect's control methods were really weird and unpredictable. It’s hard to guard against.
Just like Huang Tianheng, the deacon of Danwang Pavilion whom he met before, he just took people out for a trip. When they came back, they all had blood on their bodies, and they had obviously been controlled by the Blood Spirit Sect using special means. .
Now it seems that so many Blood Spirit Sect chess pieces present should have similar experiences, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible for the Blood Spirit Sect to penetrate Cangshan Fairy City so deeply.
Seeing such a situation emerge, the tension and urgency in Wei Hong's heart instantly increased.
"No, there are already so many monks controlled by the Blood Spirit Sect. I don't know how many more will appear next?"
"If this continues, won't the entire Cangshan Fairy City be infiltrated by the Blood Spirit Sect?"
"When that time comes, won't this Cangshan Fairy City be no longer safe?"
Wei Hong's thoughts were changing rapidly, and he had already begun to think about how to prepare his retreat.
The current situation makes him feel that Cangshan Fairy City is no longer safe. Once a war breaks out, people like them who have no power to protect them will definitely die the fastest, and they will not be able to escape even if they want to. Then the entire Cangshan Fairy City will be destroyed. The Blood Spirit Sect was completely under siege.
"What should we do? Do we have to leave Cangshan Fairy City now?"
Wei Hong had no clue at this time. He thought to himself: "But if I leave Immortal City now, where should I go? Where should I find so many cultivation resources after leaving here?"
< br>
Various thoughts were tumbling in his mind, but he couldn't find a suitable solution.
Looking at the large table of fine wine and delicacies in front of him, he had already lost all appetite.
So Wei Hong waited until the banquet was almost over, quietly said goodbye to Ding Xue, and immediately left Guangjuxuan.
He returned directly to his residence in Danwang Pavilion, because at this time he needed to think carefully so that he could find a suitable escape route and not let himself be trapped in the center of the vortex of Cangshan Fairy City.
