"We're almost there …"
Jian Qingfeng obviously did not know that Qin Fang's thoughts had already drifted away because of his words. At this moment, he saw the rows of huge archways in front of them and could not help but remind Qin Fang.
The people from the Tang Sect were not very friendly to Qin Fang and Jian Qingfeng, but they were also quite restrained. Therefore, all of them had cold faces. Other than leading the way and surrounding Qin Fang and Jian Qingfeng, they did not do anything else.
This included ignoring Qin Fang and Jian Qingfeng's words and reactions …
It could be said that as long as Qin Fang and Jian Qingfeng did not suddenly barge in, they would not care about what Qin Fang and Jian Qingfeng were doing!
"Is this the Tang Sect's headquarters?"
At this moment, Qin Fang came back to his senses and noticed the rows of huge archways. With one look, he could tell that they had existed for hundreds of years. While he was shocked, he also saw the extravagance of the Tang Sect's headquarters.
If Qin Fang remembered correctly, these archways were almost equivalent to the Tang Sect's "Monument to the Strong". Almost every archway represented a terrifyingly strong expert … equivalent to an invincible existence in the world, equivalent to the status of the current "Four Emperors".
Of course, such experts were at least at the Supremacy Realm … and most of them were experts at the late stage of the Supremacy Realm or above. There were even some terrifying existences at the peak of the Supremacy Realm. After all, in the distant ancient times, the cultivation environment was much better than now. Naturally, experts were born in large numbers.
Qin Fang did a rough count. Just the number of archways alone amounted to as many as eighteen …
On these archways, other than the name of the expert engraved on them, there were also detailed records of some of his tyrannical deeds. They were all earth-shattering events, not some trivial matters that could not be traced back to the past.
For example, Qin Fang saw one of the records. One of the ancestors of the Tang Sect had once …
"Killed a Supreme Spirit Beast?"
When he saw this, even Qin Fang was deeply shocked.
He was a zombie that was as frightening as a supreme spirit beast. To humans, it was almost an invincible existence … However, the Tang Sect had unexpectedly produced such a tyrannical and outstanding ancestor. How could Qin Fang not be surprised?
Of course, that was something that happened hundreds of years ago. Now, it could only be considered as something that the Tang Sect's disciples could boast about themselves. Aside from that, it had no other meaning …
The memorial archways were built according to the chronological order. When Qin Fang finished reading the name and time on the 18th and last memorial archway, his face revealed a rather strange expression.
These eighteen archways were famous in the underworld, and the Tang Sect even called them the "Eighteen Absolutes of the Tang Sect". They represented the Tang Sect's reputation in the underworld over the past thousand years. This was also a kind of supreme glory.
However, the last memorial arch was built two years after the death of the Tang Sect's ancestor. It had been nearly two hundred years since then …
In other words, in the past two hundred years, the Tang Sect had almost never produced such a tyrannical expert … Although it could not be said that the Tang Sect had completely declined, at least its status in the underworld could not be compared to when it was at its peak.
In the past thousand years, the Tang Sect had eighteen memorial archways and eighteen experts. On average, one would appear every fifty years … However, there had not been one in two hundred years. It was no wonder that the five great sects, the Evil Sect, and the Demon Sect did not think much of the Tang Sect.
Although a sect's foundation was very important, if there was no supreme expert to hold the fort, its status would drop greatly …
At the very least, although Jian Qingfeng looked polite now, he was clearly not as low-key as he was when he participated in the Five Sect Tournament … His head was always held high. It was only when he passed by the eighteen memorial archways that he lowered his head slightly. This was also a sign of respect to the seniors who had passed away.
Of course, it was impossible for the Thousand Year Tang Sect to only have the eighteen supreme experts represented by these eighteen arches. Every generation of the Tang Sect also had a few supreme experts with terrifying strength … It was just that their reputation was far from being as tyrannical and famous as the ones represented by these arches.
Shaolin had its own pagoda forest where the relics of the senior monks were enshrined. Although the Tang Sect would not specially create a pagoda forest, it was said that the Tang Sect's ancestral hall had a special hall dedicated to enshrining the memorial tablets of the ancestors who had reached the Supreme realm!
There were even rumors that these supreme experts, other than those who had died outside, were buried in a special underworld … As for the reason for this arrangement, Qin Fang had not seen the place, so he could not speak carelessly.
However, according to Qinfang's Great Grandmaster Qianshu, the Tang Sect must have found a very good Feng Shui Spirit Cave and buried these dead Supreme Masters in it. They could use the Gang Qi and Primordial Qi of the Supreme Masters' bodies to do some special things!
Qin Fang raised his head and looked at the valley above him that was covered by the Qi of Bi 'an, as well as the dense spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the valley. He understood a little in his heart!
There was not much time for Qin Fang to slowly admire the scenery of the Tang Sect's headquarters. Very quickly, they arrived at a large hall.
This was the main hall of the Tang Sect's headquarters. It seemed to have a long history, but the architecture was rather grand … In ancient times, this would definitely be considered magnificent and domineering. It could be seen how tyrannical the Tang Sect was when it was at its peak.
However, as of now …
Although it could not be said that a phoenix without feathers was inferior to a chicken, it was obvious that the sun was setting in the west.
After escorting Qin Fang and Jian Qingfeng to the main hall, Tang Zhan led his men and immediately split into two sides. Every one of them widened their eyes and glared fiercely, as if they were ready to attack at any moment.
Qin Fang did not think much of it. This was all within his expectations. However, Jian Qingfeng's brows furrowed …
"Looks like the Tang Sect does not intend to let this matter rest …"
Jian Qingfeng also reminded Qin Fang softly. "Leave it to me later. You adapt to the situation … unless it is absolutely necessary, do not fall out with the other party!"
"I can't guarantee that …"
Qin Fang shrugged his shoulders and said with a helpless expression.
It was not that he did not want to give face to Jian Qingfeng, but the Tang Sect's aura was very aggressive. With one look, it was obvious that they did not intend to be kind. He was not a weakling who could be bullied by others. If the other party went overboard, Qin Fang would not give them face.
Tuk tuk tuk ~ ~
While Qin Fang and Jian Qingfeng were talking, they saw another two groups of people holding weapons quickly walk out. They quickly surrounded Qin Fang and Jian Qingfeng … The auras of these people were not weak. They were not any weaker than the ones Tang Zhan had brought. In fact, their auras were more solid and fierce!
Along with these people, there were some people who were older, stronger, and had a higher status. These people were all above 40 years old. There were middle-aged people, and there were also old people. Naturally, there were men, women, and men.
It was obvious that these people were the elders of the Tang Sect!
"You are Qin Fang?"
These people had just arrived when an old man over sixty years old walked out from the group of elders. He quickly walked in front of Qin Fang and Jian Qingfeng … First, he glared sharply at Jian Qingfeng. Then, he glared fiercely at Qin Fang and asked in an extremely fierce tone.
Qin Fang smiled and did not say anything. He only calmly nodded, as if he did not notice the other party's hostility at all.
"You are the one who killed my Tang Sect's elder, Tang Mingyuan?"
The old man seemed to have been greatly provoked. His gaze became even more malicious and his tone even more fierce. His body released an extremely tyrannical aura that directly pressed down on Qin Fang. At the same time, he shouted, "Kneel!"
"Trying to show off your strength?"
Qin Fang sneered. His gaze instantly became much sharper as he looked at the old man in front of him.
However, his reaction was obviously within the old man's expectations. He did not feel any danger. In fact … he looked at Qin Fang with an extremely disdainful gaze. The ridicule in his eyes was quite obvious.
"Elder Tang Bin, you … are a little too much!"
Qin Fang ignored the old man. However, Jian Qingfeng's expression became quite ugly … Even if the other party was his elder, Jian Qingfeng did not hold back at this time.
Right now, he was visiting the Tang Sect in the name of the Kunlun Sect. He could be considered as the sect master's representative. Although he did not need the Tang Sect's sect master to personally receive him, these elders still had to give him some face. Otherwise, it would be a slap to the Kunlun Sect's face!
"Qin Fang, this old man is called Tang Bin. He is Tang Mingyuan's uncle …"
Jian Qingfeng naturally knew this old man. At this time, he also softly mentioned this old man's identity.
"This has nothing to do with you. This is a matter between the Tang Sect and him. Please step aside …"
This elder called Tang Bin clearly did not care about Jian Qingfeng. If not for the fact that Jian Qingfeng was a disciple of the Kunlun Sect, his words might have been even more unpleasant to hear … After all, he could be considered a senior in the Jianghu. He was of the same generation as Old Taoist Qing Xu.
"Elder Tang, Qin Fang is a disciple of the Kunlun Sect. He is the personal disciple of our Kunlun Sect's sect master. His matters are our Kunlun Sect's …"
Jian Qingfeng's expression became even uglier. Although Tang Bin had restrained himself quite a bit, it was still a slap to his face. At this time, he could not shrink back. He immediately stood up and tried to use the Kunlun Sect to pressure the Tang Sect.
Sure enough, when Jian Qingfeng said those words, not only did Tang Bin's expression change, even the expressions of the Tang Sect's elders who were watching the show changed greatly …
