Chapter 292
After all, the Mei clan was a clan under the rule of the Zhong Ming sect. Their clan-protecting formation came from the formation peak, and its defensive capabilities could not be underestimated.
If they had directly barged in, with Huo Zhaojing’s cultivation and wealth, although it was not impossible to break through, it would not be done overnight. Once they were caught in a long battle and attracted the attention of the Zhong gang sect, it would not be a good thing.
Therefore, if he could outwit them, it would naturally be better.
The two members of the Mei family in the arrow tower immediately sensed their arrival and hurriedly picked up their voice transmission talismans to inform the elders in the family.
Soon, a formation was activated in a study room in the Mei clan Fort. A huge water mirror rose.
The mirror clearly reflected the group of people who came.
&Quot; the blood carriage will lead the way. According to keqiu’s voice transmission, branch master PEI must have arrived. &Quot; After seeing the blood palanquin, the entire Mei family heaved a sigh of relief. The older cultivator in the lead said with relief, ” looking at the time, if everything goes well, it should be about time ... Come with me to welcome them! &Quot;
One of the elders was not at ease, he reminded: ” “Patriarch, it’s a critical time now. It’s better to be cautious.”
“That’s right.” Another clan elder said in a low voice, ” the outside world has already known about the ancestor’s situation. These days, many people have come to test our clan. Even many in-laws have wavering thoughts.”
“Since the things have arrived, in my opinion, why don’t we let them leave the things outside the castle and wait for everyone to leave before we send people to carry the boxes back.”
“If that’s the case, how can we be sure that the three-headed pterolycus Wolf and the netherworld wood are intact?” Hearing this, the head of the Mei clan frowned slightly and said, ” the disciples of the sage sect are strong, but their character is a mix of good and bad. &Quot;
“If we don’t inspect the goods in person and discover problems later, I’m afraid even the inspection Hall won’t be able to make a decision for us.”
“Furthermore, the one who has accepted this mission is the new branch head of the jiansang branch. PEI Ling is the champion of the outer sect competition and has received many rewards from the sage sect. There’s no need to break the sect’s rules for the sake of our Mei family’s little things.”
&Quot; according to the rules of the sage sect, he has attacked a family under the rule of the sage sect for no reason. Even if he has all the rewards from the outer sect competition, it’s not enough to punish him. &Quot;
&Quot; we have no grudges with him. Why would branch master PEI do such a thing? ”
At first, everyone was worried, but after hearing what the family head said, they gradually felt relieved.
Thus, he tidied up his clothes and headed to the entrance of the fortress.
A moment later, they arrived at the top of the Fort wall. At this time, the blood carriage and company had already appeared not far from the gate.
“Are you branch master PEI from the inner sect of glory sect?” the family head cupped his hands and asked.
Branch master PEI?
In the blood carriage, Huo Zhaojing sneered. No wonder he had such strength. He was one of the branch leaders of the 13 inner branches of the Zhong gang sect!
However, he had heard of the names of all 13 branch Masters of the inner sect of the Zhong gang sect, and none of them had the surname PEI.
This person had most likely just taken office.
As for the branch Masters of the three upper branches of the Zhong Kong sect, their cultivation was on par with the disciples of the Holy Church in the late spring. Each of them was extremely powerful. If it were the three branch Masters, the Mei clan would not have been able to invite them. Even if they accepted the Mei clan’s mission on a whim, they didn’t need to be so careful when they arrived at the market.
Even the master of the profound Reed market would personally come out to greet them and greet them carefully.
Once such a person was replaced, it would definitely be a big deal.
It was impossible for the heavenly born sect to not have heard any news.
As for the middle five branches, the five branch Masters were not to be underestimated.
If this PEI fellow could defeat one of them, why would he have avoided them on the path of Mount Mei?
Therefore, the other party could only be of the lower five meridians.
In the lower five lineages of the Zhong Kong sect, the rotation of the lineage heads was very frequent!
“Not bad!” Huo Zhaojing said indifferently, ” the three-headed pterolycus and the netherworld wood are sealed in the two iron cages at the back. Please open the array and allow us to send these two items into the Fort. &Quot;
Hearing this, the head of the Mei clan and the elders immediately sized up the carriages.
The current branch head of the jiansang branch, PEI Ling, used a blood palanquin. Other than branch head PEI, there were three other Zhong gang sect disciples who were escorting the carriage. Two men and one woman, all of whom had outstanding looks and an extraordinary bearing ... All of these matched the description.
Calculating the time, the convoy would arrive in about one or two days.
However, why wasn’t there a single member of the Mei family accompanying them?
At the thought of this, the head of the Mei family tried to speak, ” Branch master PEI, I wonder if keqiu and the others ... &Quot;
Huo Zhaojing said indifferently, ” on the way, we encountered a joint attack by the heaven born sect’s midspring disciples. They were all killed. &Quot; In this mission, we are only responsible for protecting the three-headed pterolycus and the netherworld wood. The lives of your Mei clan members are not in our mission!”
Hearing this, although the Mei clan’s clan head and elders felt bitter and helpless, they did not doubt him.
After all, such words and actions were indeed the style of a Sage sect disciple!
To be on the safe side, the family head immediately said, ” Branch leader PEI, may I take a look at your nameplate? ”
Huo Zhaojing sneered in his heart. He took out an item that looked like a living person’s finger and curled it up slightly.
This item was also something he had made on the road these few days.
On the outside, it looked exactly the same as the nameplate of the heavy iron sect, but it had no effect.
If a Zhong gang sect disciple was here, he would definitely not be able to deceive them.
However, in this Mei family, other than the old ancestor who was about to die of old age, who was an authentic Zhong gang sect disciple, the other disciples, including the family head and elders in front of him, had not even seen the main gate of the Zhong gang sect!
After being called a Zhong gang sect disciple, in essence, they were not much different from itinerant cultivators.
How could a mere Qi refining cultivator detect his methods?
As such, Huo Zhaojing flicked his finger, and the item flew out of the blood carriage, crossed the air, and landed steadily in the hands of the Mei family head.
After receiving the token, the Mei clan head and the elders carefully inspected it.
Seeing that the workmanship and details were the same as the Zhong gang sect disciples ‘nameplates they had seen before, they were relieved and immediately returned the nameplates. At the same time, they said respectfully, ” “Branch master PEI, please wait a moment. I will open the formation now.”
As he spoke, the head of the Mei family took out a family head token and injected spirit energy into it. Soon, the entire Fort was covered in dense array patterns.
At the same time, the moat outside the fortress started to water.
Countless strange Water Tribe members emerged from the dark river.
In the arrow tower, the dense formation of rune arrows that were aimed at the blood carriage began to change their target.
The traps, spell techniques, and formations were quickly removed.
After all, the Mei family had already learned about the temperament of the new branch head PEI through their relationship with their ancestor.
This person placed great importance on etiquette!
Before confirming the other party’s identity, it was only right to be on guard.
Since he had already confirmed the other party’s identity, who knew if he would infuriate the other party if he placed the other party in the midst of so many traps and spells?
The head of the Mei family did not want to follow in Tian congheng’s footsteps during the preliminary round of the outer sect competition.
After a long while, all the defenses were temporarily removed and the formation was opened.
The gate of the fortress slowly opened after the runes flickered for a moment.
The blood carriage didn’t hesitate and immediately brought the three Foundation establishment cultivators into the fortress.
The convoy followed closely behind, pulled by the puppets.
The head of the Mei clan and the elders of the various clans were already waiting at the main gate. When they saw the blood carriage enter, they quickly stepped forward and bowed, ” “Mei zhiqiu greets branch master PEI!”
“Hehe.” A sneer came from the blood carriage.
The members of the Mei family were stunned. They instinctively felt that something was wrong.
However, before they could react, a female cultivator beside the blood carriage suddenly turned her eyes and smiled at them with a charming look.
