Chapter 499: Western Domain
After returning from the party to celebrate, Zhan Chen and the others listened to Mei Qing's advice and waited at Bijian Peak, and as she said, within a few days, the order of the sect was issued, and this time it was the sect master who summoned it personally!
Everyone seemed to smell a hint of something unusual, what exactly did the Sect Master need to come forward in person? With such a question, the five of them came to the meeting place, the Heavenly Gradual Mountain Spirit Crane Hall, and found that there were already more than 100 people gathered there, and there was a tendency for the number of people to increase, and these people were all in groups of three or five, talking in small voices, obviously also confused by the fact that the Sect Master had personally summoned them this time.

Li Qiong glanced at the people present, but her face showed a solemn expression, and said, "These people are not simple!"
Zhan Chen didn't know much about the things in the sect, so he naturally wanted to be curious, so he asked, "Senior Sister Li, what do you mean?"
"I mean, these people are some of the top ranked figures among the inner disciples, and there are even elite disciples. ā
"Elite disciple, isn't that the existence of the top twenty in the sect?"
"Yes, there are more than 5,800 inner disciples of the Quanling Crane Sect, but there are only twenty elite disciples. ā
"Then Senior Sister, are you considered an elite disciple?"
"Me?" Li Qiong shook his head with a smile and said, "I haven't reached that height yet, last time in the Inner Gate Competition, I only achieved a score of one hundred and nine, and I am still far from the elite disciples?"
"When was the last time the inner door was bigger?"
"The last time was more than eighty years ago, and our sect's inner gate competition was held once every hundred years, so the next one is just around the corner!" Li Qiong sighed.
"Has it been more than eighty years? Eighty years will change a lot, Senior Sister, maybe this session of the Inner Sect Competition, you will be able to become an elite disciple. ā
Li Qiong smiled again and said, "Senior Brother Zhan, don't you know, a hundred years is not a long time for us immortals, and the change is not too big, besides, I'm improving, aren't others also improving? ā
After a pause, she turned her head to Zhuang Xiaodie and said, "It's you, you can work hard this time." ā
"Well, I'll try my best. Zhuang Xiaodie smiled.
While they were talking, Zhuang Weiye had already arrived and sat on the seat of the sect master, and everyone present hurriedly ended the discussion and focused their attention on him.
At this time, there were already more than two hundred inner disciples in the main hall, Zhan Chen looked around, their cultivation was above the high level of Peep Yuan, compared to this group of people, Zhan Chen and Li Junchen's cultivation was probably going to be ranked in the last position.
Zhuang Weiye swept everyone over, nodded and said, "Well, everyone is here." Ladies and gentlemen, you are all the pillars of our sect's writing, and the main purpose of gathering you here today is to carry out an operation to crack down on demon cultivators! Recently, in the Western Domain region under our control, a large number of demon cultivators have been found to attack our Linghe Sect disciples, and in the last month alone, more than 20 people have gone missing!"
As soon as Zhuang Weiye announced the information, it immediately caused an uproar among everyone, how many years has the demon cultivation been silent, and now it is making a comeback, could it be that a new round of the battle of the righteous demon is about to start again?
When I think of this, some people are really happy and some are worried, some of the bold ones can't wait, and they can't wait to fly to the Western Domain to kill the demon cultivators, while the timid ones talk about the change of demon color and are afraid to move forward.
Zhuang Weiye took in the expressions of the people present and shouted: "Don't make any more noise!"
The discussion was immediately suppressed, and everyone looked at him again, Zhuang Weiye continued: "You are all representatives of the strongest disciples in our sect, and the future of the Spirit Crane Sect will be entrusted to you, so you should play an exemplary role! What is one or two demon cultivators? You must know that the Western Domain region can concentrate nearly two thousand of our inner disciples! So this is a good opportunity to exercise, killing the demon cultivators, it is best to capture the demon cultivators, and get the conspiracy of the demon sect from their mouths, which is your task this time." ā
Hearing Zhuang Weiye's words, Zhan Chen was also very surprised, you must know that there are only more than 5,800 disciples in the entire Linghe Sect, and there are nearly 2,000 in the Western Domain, what kind of place is this, worthy of the Linghe Sect to send heavy troops to guard?
At this time, he heard Zhuang Weiye call again: "Lin Qi, Sun Chengan, Li Ling, Chen Qianqian, Zhou Mei, and Ouyang Chun, you guys come out." ā
There were six people out of the crowd, three men and three women, after Zhan Chen saw those, his expression was awe-inspiring, their expressions were elegant, otherworldly, at first glance, they were masters of profound cultivation, and they were the best in the Yuan Realm.
Sure enough, Zhuang Weiye immediately revealed their identities: "The six of you are elite disciples in the sect, you have to play a leading role in this operation and take care of the other disciples, I have already told Elder Lin Yarou who is in charge of the Western Domain, you take more than two hundred people to quickly converge with the disciples in the Western Domain, strengthen the defense forces everywhere, and find out the movements and conspiracy of the demon cultivators as soon as possible, do you know?"
"Got it!" replied all six.
"Elder Lin Yarou is only one person, she can't take care of many things at all, there are also two elite disciples in the Western Domain, Zhao Kuiliang and Xu Jingxuan, you eight elite disciples must work together to assist the elders to guard every joint position. ā
"I will not fail in my mission!" the six replied in unison.
Zhuang Weiye nodded, and said to everyone: "This mission is counted as an urgent task, when to eliminate the hidden dangers of demon cultivation, when will the task be completed, as for everyone who participates in the task, they can get 500,000 merit points, and depending on the contribution of the task, additional merit points will be awarded!"
"500,000 merit points! This is equivalent to a mid-term mission!" Everyone was pleasantly surprised, knowing that merit points in the Spirit Crane Sect are good things, as long as there are enough merit points, you can exchange them for any treasure you want.
"Okay, this mission is announced here, tomorrow you will leave immediately and rush to the Western Domain!"
Early the next morning, Zhan Chen and other more than 200 people set off at the foot of Tianjian Mountain, everyone released the spirit crane, and for a time more than 200 spirit cranes flew in the sky, mighty and magnificent.
The group marched in the northwest direction, and after three days and three nights, they came to the end of the Cangheng Mountain Range.
Zhan Chen looked down from the back of the owl night, and saw a spectacular scene, an incomparably vast plain is sandwiched between the Cangheng Mountains and the sea, on the plain there are many towns, villages are dotted, it seems particularly prosperous.
At this time, Li Junchen, who was flying with him, pointed to the plain and shouted to Zhan Chen: "Zhan Chen, we have arrived, that is the land of the Western Domain!"
"Why is it called the Western Domain?" Zhan Chen asked casually.
"I also heard from others that because this plain is west of the Cangheng Mountain Range, and it has always been a vassal of the major sects, it has been called the Western Domain since ancient times!"
Zhan Chen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard his explanation, and asked again: "Isn't the Western Domain the territory of one of our Linghe Sect's sects?"
Li Junchen laughed and said: "Haha, Zhan Chen, how is it possible? You see that such a large area here, with a population of nearly a billion people, can one sect be able to manage it? In fact, the land here is ruled by the seven major sects, and our Linghe Sect is only one of them, and the territory is still the smallest. ā
"Seven major sects, so many!" Zhan Chen was surprised again.
"Yes, there are not only the seven major sects, but also the remnants of the Demon Sect. In the past, this was still the key area for our Righteous Path Sect and the Demon Sect to fight. It's just that a thousand years ago, in the Great War of the Righteous Demons, the Yuxiao Hall united more than forty sects to launch a great purge against many demon sects, at that time, many demon sects were destroyed, and the Western Domain region also became the opposite of the focus of purging, since then, it is rare to see the figure of demon cultivation in this area, so you can see that the Western Domain has such a prosperous scene!"
Zhan Chen nodded, empathized, and said, "Yes, this world is chaotic because of demon cultivation, if there is no demon cultivation, it will be much more peaceful!"
When everyone came to the top of a huge city in the land of the Western Domain, they all landed and put away the cranes.
Zhan Chen looked up and saw three words written on the gate of the city, "Yunling City".
Li Junchen pointed to the city gate and said, "Zhan Chen, this is Yunling City, the headquarters of our Spirit Crane Sect in the Western Domain, where the population can reach 20 million!"
Zhan Chen nodded and said, "It is indeed a majestic giant city!"
A group of people walked towards the city gate, Zhan Chen noticed that the guards standing at the city gate were all wearing the clothes of their Linghe Sect's outer disciples, so he pointed to those people and asked Li Junchen curiously: "Junchen, are those all our Linghe Sect's outer disciples?"
Li Junchen nodded and smiled: "Yes, didn't I tell you just now?" Yunling City is the headquarters of our Linghe Sect, and all the guards here are served by our Linghe Sect's outer disciples, not only Yunling City, our sect controls the other nine big cities, but also our Linghe Sect disciples occupy them, with these ten cities as the core, radiating to the surrounding towns and villages, and our Linghe Sect alone has a population of as many as 100 million in the West!"
"One sect can control a population of 100 million!" Zhan Chen was also completely shocked by this number, and asked again: "Our Spirit Crane Sect is only a small immortal sect, and it can control more than 100 million people, so what about a medium-sized sect like the Jade Sky Palace?"
Li Junchen said with a smile: "I don't know this, the sphere of influence of the Yuxiao Hall is not in this Western Domain, but in the entire Conch Corner, and the population in it is at least billions." ā
At this time, everyone had already entered the city, and the Yunling City was very lively, and the streets were full of people, as soon as they saw Zhan Chen and other disciples dressed in the clothes of the Spirit Crane Sect walking on the street, they all consciously gave way to the side of the road from a distance, with a look of reverence or awe in their eyes, and their mouths continued to say: "Welcome the immortal envoy, welcome the immortal envoy!"
Greeted by the crowd, the procession slowly advanced to the very center of the city.
Zhan Chen saw at a glance that there was a huge building standing in the center of the city, and on the lintel were written three powerful characters "Linghe Sect", and he heard Li Junchen shouting on the side: "This is also the first time I have seen it, this must be the base camp of our sect!"
