Chapter 366 Volume C Gambling

After offering sacrifices at the tombs of Xu Muyang and Yao Liwei, Chen Huaisheng, Wang Yao, Xu Tianfeng, Zhao Sitian, and Yuan Wenbo walked down the mountain in silence.

Chen Huaisheng was deeply touched. He had only been in Hebei for more than a year, and how many people around him had died?

When crossing the river, Lu Wenshen died in the mouth of Aolong. Even Xu Muyang and Yao Liwei died in this battle.

Isn't it said that the way of cultivating immortals is to strive for immortality? How did it become a show of bravery and brutality, and chaotic killing?

If it was the death of a monster, it would be understandable, but this was a sacrifice for the survival of the sect.

For a while, he was too sad, and even his view of Yuan Wenbo became much more favorable.

"It is said that a clay pot is bound to break at the wellhead, and a general is bound to die on the battlefield, but we are a sect of cultivation, and now we have to go to this situation?"

After walking a long way, Chen Huaisheng couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Huaisheng's words seemed to express the inner distress of everyone, which may have deviated from their dreams when they first joined the sect.

When they joined the sect as children, they all dreamed of studying and exchanging ideas with their fellow disciples and masters every day, and they were happy. Maybe everyone had different talents, but they were close to each other, helping each other and making progress together.

But as they grew older and practiced hard in the sect, everyone gradually realized that the initial vision was nothing more than an unrealistic fantasy. The competition within the sect and the dangers from the outside threatened their own future at any time.

Since the year before last, the sect had fought against the Baishi Sect, and then had to move north to Hebei, and then was involved in the battle of Lingyun Sect.

In order to defend the survival right of the Great Zhao Sect in Hebei, the Chonghua Sect had to spare no effort to join the battle, and then paid the price of the lives and blood of the sect disciples.

Is it worth it?

Maybe it is worth it for the sect, but for the dead disciples, such as Xu Muyang and Yao Liwei, is it worth it?

Now the sect has even reached a ceasefire agreement with Yuelu Sect, so what does the death of Xu Muyang and Yao Liwei mean?

Xu Muyang has been a sect for a hundred years, and has worked hard to cultivate all the way to the foundation building, but now he died in one day, what is left behind?

It seems that Xu Muyang has no Taoist partner and no children. Even if Chen Song, who went to Shitangzhuang with him at the beginning, was his disciple, he should still have some relatives with him.

But Chen Song is only the third level of Qi Refining, and his aptitude is also average. It is hard to say how much luck he can have in the sect in the future.

And what about Yao Liwei?

Thinking of Yao Liwei, Chen Huaisheng felt indescribably upset.

In the entire Chonghua Sect, if we talk about the close relationship with him, if we don’t count Min Qingyu and Hu Delu who are younger than him, Wu Tianen is the closest among the respected elders, and even Chen Huaisheng sincerely regards him as his elder. Li Yu is more congenial, but the relationship is not the closest. The other relationships are average, including Shang Jiuling.

Among the same generation, Wang Yao, Xu Tianfeng, Yao Liwei and Zhao Sitian were relatively close.

When he became a direct disciple, Yao Liwei was the first to introduce him. Moreover, Yao Liwei was already at the eighth level of Qi Refining and was about to establish his foundation. Unexpectedly, he died in battle at this time. This was even more of a blow to Chen Huaisheng than when Lu Wenshen was attacked and killed by Aolong when crossing the river.

Yao Liwei's voice and appearance were still vivid in Chen Huaisheng's mind, but now they have become a pile of graves.

"Huaisheng, this may be the only way for our Chonghua Sect to evolve into a sect like Jiulian Sect or Dacheng Sect?" After a long time, Xu Tianfeng said slowly: "Master Xu died in battle, and Yuelu Sect did not get a good result. They also lost a fifth-level foundation. At that time, Master Li Yu also counterattacked,..."

Chen Huaisheng was not clear about the battle situation at that time, but Li Yu and Xu Muyang both attacked, and Xu Muyang died in the end, which shows how difficult this battle was.

"What about Senior Brother Yao?" Chen Huaisheng couldn't help asking.

"Uncle You and Li Wei were ambushed by Yuelu Sect. If Uncle Ding hadn't arrived quickly, Uncle You would have been on the verge of death..." Xu Tianfeng sighed, "Yuelu Sect has a peak foundation building and a seventh foundation building, and there is also a purple mansion to support,..."

Chen Huaisheng exhaled fiercely: "Since Yuelu Sect is so powerful, why didn't it occupy Dahuai Mountain before Lingyun Sect took over Dahuai Mountain? Why did it have to wait until Lingyun Sect moved in before jumping out?"

"The specific situation is not very clear, but it should be related to the strong opposition of Tianhe Sect in the north, but it is not entirely due to this reason." Xu Tianfeng shook his head, "Maybe after the people of Lingyun Sect merge into our Chonghua Sect, we can find out some information from them."

When it comes to the merger of Lingyun Sect into Chonghua Sect, everyone feels that Chonghua Sect seems to have changed a lot in the past year.

The Ding family has joined, and now the Lingyun Sect is also joining. In just over a year, the Chonghua Sect seems to have entered a period of rapid development from its isolation in Langling, so fast that it is a bit overwhelming.

"Does that mean that we and the Yuelu Sect will continue to clash in Wei Huai Dao?" Chen Huaisheng sneered: "This is actually a disguised pause, waiting for both sides to start the war again when they feel it is appropriate?"

Chen Huaisheng's sharp words made the other three silent. Unless the Chonghua Sect gave up Dahuai Mountain, the conflict with the Yuelu Sect would definitely continue, but could the Chonghua Sect give up?

Not to mention the emotional factors of the original disciples of the Lingyun Sect who were merged into the Chonghua Sect, the Chonghua Sect will definitely not only want to limit its development to Fuyang Road, but there is the Fengyi Sect on Zhaigu Road in the south, and the Fengyi Sect in the north and northeast. There is the Ning family in Youzhou, and the Tianhe Sect on Zhangchi Road in the northwest. No matter which direction you want to expand, you will inevitably conflict with these forces.

In this case, why should we be afraid of Yuelu Sect?

The worst thing is to choose the right time to start a war.

Maybe in three years, maybe in five years, either the Yuelu Sect started the war, or the Chonghua Sect took the initiative to start the war.

"So maybe we will face this kind of disaster next time?" Yuan Wenbo, the youngest, couldn't help but ask.

"That's why Wenbo, we should work hard to improve ourselves." Chen Huaisheng said to the other party with emotion: "It's time for you to work hard. I heard that Zhuo and his party will be here soon. Master Zhu is full of confidence in him. Qi Refining Five It shouldn’t be a problem.”

"Huai Sheng, and I, I am the one who should work hard the most." A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Sitian's mouth, "I'm regretting that I should not accept Wuchen. Look at you chasing after me so closely. I don’t know when the eighth level of Qi will break through to the ninth level of Qi refining..."

"How about we make an appointment to have a bet?" Chen Huaisheng glanced at Xu Tianfeng: "Senior Brother Xu, you just built the foundation, you will definitely not be able to retreat, then you can help us prove it, and the three of us should make up our minds. We’ve come to improve ourselves. We can’t let the people from the Ding family and Lingyun Sect come in and overwhelm us. That would be too embarrassing for us old disciples of the Chonghua Sect.”

"Oh?" Zhao Sitian also became interested and looked at Chen Huaisheng with narrowed eyes, "What kind of competition? What are you betting on?"

"In three years, Wenbo, you want to advance to the advanced level of Qi refining, how about it?" Chen Huaisheng first threw the challenge to Yuan Wenbo.

Yuan Wenbo has been advancing to the fifth level of Qi Refining for some time, but he is still not ready to break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining. Chen Huaisheng directly set his goal to reach the seventh level of Qi Refining, and only gave him three years.

Yuan Wenbo's eyes flickered. He was a little excited and eager to try, but he also felt that this goal was a bit too high. If it were five years, he would feel more confident.

"Well, Wenbo, this challenge is not easy. Three years to reach the seventh level of Qi refining..." Zhao Sitian nodded, "What do you say if you win, and what do you say if you lose?"

"We each take out something that we think is worthy of weight, and then there are three things. Whoever succeeds first will take two of them, whoever comes second will take the remaining one, and the last one will naturally be empty-handed." Chen Huaisheng smiled. .

"Okay, that's a good idea. What about yourself, Huaisheng?" Zhao Sitian stared at Chen Huaisheng and said with a smile, "Do I have the same goal as you?"

"Yes, it's still three years. How about foundation building?" Chen Huaisheng glanced sideways at the other party, "Isn't this more exciting and challenging?"

"Really? Are you so sure?"

Zhao Sitian was surprised. It took three years to build a foundation. This was crazy. He thought he could set a three-year Qi refining peak, which was reasonable. But is it worth taking a gamble on something that is reasonable?

"If you are sure, can I still bet with you?" Chen Huaisheng looked at Wang Yao who was thoughtful, "Senior Brother Wang, why don't you come and join this bet, and you will also be at the second level of foundation building for three years, how about it? I I’ve taken a fancy to the earth spirit bead in your bag, how about we gamble on the water-proof bead?”
