Chapter 129 Grand Festival
After arriving in the main city temporarily, Chen Lang saw the practitioners captured by the Western Leader.

There are not many of them, only a few dozen, but their cultivation is all above the initial stage of foundation building, and nearly half of them are in the middle stage.

Chen Lang took a quick look and found that some of them were from the Tianjian Sect, but he did not recognize most of them. There were also a few cultivators from the Wuzhong Sect of the Qingmu Sect, and even a few independent cultivators with no background. Patriarch Pingtian was not picky about them.

He had no interest in talking further, so he simply asked the Western helmsman for his appearance fee and left with him.

On a certain mountain.

As the winding path goes up, you can see a pavilion, stone chairs and benches, and a few flags hanging quietly under the old trees.

Occasionally, in the shadows, one could see a human figure flashing by, patrolling around with a machete in hand.

"This is it."

The Western helmsman landed and walked on the stone steps, whispering, "We agreed to keep our voices down here. Also, don't use your Qi, and don't fight with others, or you'll bring disaster upon yourself."

He had heard of Chen Lang's temperament and gave him a special reminder.

Chen Lang looked around and asked, "Not allowed?"

If there is an expert in charge, then you need to inquire carefully and be prepared after completing the task.

"No, this place is too close to the Tianjian Sect. There are elders from their sect patrolling here. If we are discovered, we will be in great danger."

Chen Lang paused, "Really?"

"I'm teasing you."

The Western Captain smiled faintly, "It will take them three to five years to find such a place, and we will change places every time we gather. I just want to remind you that they are chasing us very urgently. You must act carefully and do not expose your whereabouts."

Chen Lang said seriously, "Don't make such jokes in the future, I will take it seriously."

"Hahaha."

The Western helmsman laughed and led Chen Lang up the mountain. There were temporarily arranged seats in the front, as well as large mahogany chairs for old employees of the Pingtian Sect.

At this moment, some people have already sat down and are playing chess at the stone table.

"Western Captain, you are late." A man on the left looked up and said.

The Western Captain put his hands behind his back and smiled, "I am late, but that's because I was doing something important."

"Is there anything more important than the Great Festival?"

The Western helmsman replied, "I caught Qin Tian."

pat.

A chess piece fell to the ground.

"Live?"

"Live."

Both players were very surprised. Who was Qin Tian? He was a master on the Heavenly Ranking. The Master Priest had tried to defeat him before but failed. How could he defeat him?
"How did you do it?" They didn't believe it. They were very clear about the Western Leader's abilities. He could deal with ordinary disciples of the Tianjian Sect, but those on the Heavenly Ranking were all elites of the sect. It was not uncommon for them to go against the Jindan cultivators. They were not something he could deal with.

"Thanks to this brother for his help." The Western helmsman extended his hand to Chen Lang.

The two players turned their eyes to Chen Lang and were even more surprised. This man was only at the initial stage of foundation building. They had just thought he was the assistant of the Western helmsman.

However, those who could attend the grand ceremony were not ordinary people, so the two of them did not neglect it and bowed:

"I am a local soul master. I have been in Pingtian Sect for more than ten years. I have been in charge of raising flags near Lotus Mountain. You can call me Black Sparrow." said the man on the left.

"Tenglong Hand." Another person introduced himself briefly.

In the Pingtian Sect, few people mention their names, and most of them are referred to by code names.

The Western Captain helped to add the introduction: "Lord Black Sparrow is the backbone of this place. He is very skilled in the art of controlling souls. He has raised eight blood banners in the past ten years. His talent is ten times better than mine, and is comparable to that of the chief priest."

"No, no." Lord Black Sparrow was very humble, "Master Priest's talent is ten times better than mine."

"Isn't the presiding priest here?" Chen Lang asked.

"We have to wait a while." Lord Black Sparrow looked at Chen Lang carefully, "Who are you, Daoist friend? You are able to defeat a master on the Heavenly Ranking."

"Master of the Heavenly Ranking? Is he very powerful?" Chen Lang asked.

He had been in the Tianjian Sect for a very short time, and he was either arguing or fighting. It was really unclear, but in the eyes of several people, it felt different.

“Haha, of course you are powerful. The Heavenly Ranking is not just the Heavenly Ranking of the Tianjian Sect, but the ranking of the most talented among the dozens of sects within tens of thousands of miles. All of them are qualified to become elders in the future. With this achievement, you can tell others in the future that you have captured a future elder of the Tianjian Sect alive.” Lord Hei Que laughed.

Oh, Tianjiao Plus.

Chen Lang nodded, "Got it."

"My name is Chen Lang, and I don't have a code name," said Chen Lang.

"Chen Lang?" Lord Black Sparrow raised his voice slightly.

"Don't be so surprised, let's play chess." Chen Lang was used to their surprise. Their reaction when they heard his name was always the same, like a conditioned reflex.

Am I that special?
"So you are a fellow disciple of the Tianjian Sect." Hei Que nodded. He did not have that kind of "sudden realization after hearing about your great name for a long time" nor did he have the natural rejection of the Southern Sect Leader. There was only an indescribable complexity in his eyes.

He patted Chen Lang on the shoulder and said calmly:

"That's great. You can follow me from now on."

Another player raised his eyebrows slightly and said jokingly, "Master Black Sparrow actually accepted a disciple. How rare."

Upon hearing this, the Western Captain reminded Chen Lang, "Master Black Sparrow is also from the Heavenly Sword Sect. Logically, he is your senior brother. Why don't you thank him quickly?"

"No need for that. It's the duty of the elders to guide the newcomers." Lord Black Sparrow waved his hand.

Chen Lang was quite surprised, "You were also turned into a puppet?"

Lord Black Sparrow hesitated for a moment, "I came here by myself."

Then, he said, "This place is adjacent to the Tianjian Sect. There are many families and Tianjian Sect monks here, and it is also their important defense base. I have been around for so many years and am very familiar with their whereabouts. I have killed countless Tianjian Sect disciples and am very good at breaking down their moves.

If you need it, I can teach you everything. I've heard of your talent, it's pretty good. Let's work together to kill them all."

"What's the point of killing them all?" Chen Lang was puzzled.

"Because they all deserve to die."

Lord Black Sparrow noticed the change in Chen Lang's expression, "They are just sitting there doing nothing, pretending to be kind and righteous, and treating you like a discarded shoe, causing you to end up in this situation. Don't you think so?"

It was very common for sects to defect to the Pingtian Sect. Most of them were dissatisfied and would attack their own sect most ruthlessly. He had seen too many of them.

Chen Lang didn't know how to answer.

This guy is driving the screws with passion.

"Haha, let's not talk about this, it's all in the past." The Western helmsman laughed and changed the subject. Suddenly, he saw another person coming over, so he pointed over and said, "Look who this is?"

When a few people looked over, they saw that the man was wearing a black eagle-face mask. He had a calm aura and was intimidating without even getting angry.

"Eagle, why are you here when you are not working under the Southern Leader?" asked Lord Black Sparrow.

Of course Chen Lang knew this person, codenamed Eagle, and he was the right-hand man of the Southern Sect Leader. Although he had never seen him take action, his guess was correct that he was also a banner-bearer who had reached the highest level of Foundation Establishment.

"The Lotus Master has appeared in the world, so of course I have to come to congratulate you and help you complete the grand sacrifice." Eagle's voice was low and hoarse, "Why, you are not welcome?"

"Of course you are welcome."

Lord Black Sparrow nodded, "But didn't you send help?"

He gestured to Chen Lang and said, "He's a very good person. I'm very satisfied with him. I plan to take him with me for a while. If he's willing to stay in the Lotus Sect, I can give him the position of helmsman in the future."

The eagle-faced masked man sneered, "Helmsman? He is the one that the Queen has nominated to be the leader of the sect in the future. Are you underestimating him?"

"One has to take things one step at a time, doesn't one?" Lord Black Sparrow didn't mind.

"That's true." The eagle-faced masked man nodded, lifted his cloak, and sat on the stone bench.

"Wait a moment, I have a question." Chen Lang said.

"You say." They stopped talking and looked at Chen Lang.

After all, he was someone who had been enlightened by the Empress, he had a strong background and good methods, and he was qualified to be on the same level as them.

Chen Lang asked, "I want to know, what is the high sacrifice for?"
