Chapter 172 Report! Mao Xiaofang of the Heavenly Dao Sect has arrived!
Looking at so many people, Zhang Tianding smiled.
"Gentlemen, let's set up the tents first. You've all traveled a long way, so let's eat and drink our fill first, and then discuss how to deal with the Xiangxi Corpse King and that centipede demon, shall we?"
The strongest person here is only a half-step Celestial Master, and there are only a handful of half-step Celestial Masters, so he wants to take the lead and become the leader.
If he could take down these two scourges, he could become famous overnight.
Thinking about this made him very happy.
"can!"
Others had no objection.
Then some people went to set up tents.
At this moment, Wu Fei, the senior disciple of Wudang, stepped forward and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. Now that most of the sects have arrived, let's take a headcount and see how long each person's supplies will last."
They need to take stock to avoid wasting time; the Xiangxi Corpse King hasn't been defeated yet, and they'll be starving.
Everyone agreed, saying it made sense.
.....................
So each sect began to report the number of people who had come.
After taking stock, someone asked in bewilderment, "Strange, why haven't Maoshan and Zhengyi Sect arrived yet? These two sects are of great importance."
No sooner had he finished speaking than discontented voices arose from the crowd.
The voice of discontent came from Chen Kun of the Kunquan School: "What does this mean? Do they think they're so great that they can ignore this alliance? Do they want to stand idly by and watch this important matter in Xiangxi? Aren't they afraid of being ridiculed by the world?"
"Yeah, everyone else arrives on time or even early, so why are they being treated differently?"
Upon hearing this, others echoed their agreement, clearly finding it to be true.
Li Qing, the senior disciple of the Qingwei Sect, spoke up to persuade them: "Perhaps there was some delay on the way. Let's wait a little longer."
"Wait? What if they don't come? Wouldn't that be a waste of our time?" Chen Kun retorted.
The eldest disciple of the Gezao Sect shook his head and said, "Everyone, please be patient. These two sects have always attached great importance to the affairs of the cultivation world, and they will not be absent without reason. They will probably arrive in a moment. Moreover, this matter is of great importance, and it may be difficult to handle without their help. Please be patient."
"What? Without them, things won't be alright? Aren't you exaggerating? Do you really think we're made of clay?" The eldest disciple of the Donghua Sect frowned and said disdainfully.
“That’s right, what good are Maoshan and Zhengyi if we lose so many people?” the senior disciple of Xuandao Sect said with dissatisfaction.
Clearly, no one present agreed with Senior Sister Wanhe's defense of the two sects.
At that moment, someone shouted again.
"Report! Mao Xiaofang, the leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect, has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, the entire audience erupted in uproar!
They never expected that the leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect would come.
Keep in mind that everyone present was a senior disciple or elder sister from within the sect.
Suddenly a new sect leader appeared, completely overwhelming them.
Even Zhang Tianding gritted his teeth.
...........................
He originally wanted to wait until they finished complaining before shouting, "Even without Maoshan, our Dragon Tiger Sect can still hold the fort!" But now that the Heavenly Dao Sect leader has arrived, it's not easy for him to take the lead.
It should be noted that the strongest sects in the contemporary era are the Dragon Tiger Sect, the Celestial Master's Mansion, the Zhengyi Sect, and the Maoshan Sect, with the Maoshan Sect being the strongest!
The Dragon Tiger Sect is also known as the Celestial Master's Mansion!
As the announcement was made, a figure slowly stepped into everyone's view.
Mao Xiaofang was dressed in coarse linen clothes, with an upright posture and steady steps, yet exuding an invisible sense of authority.
He arrived with only his apprentice Zhong Bang and his friend Yang Feiyun; he didn't bring any other members of his sect. [The timelines of the two zombie-fighting Taoist priests have been modified here to be consistent! Remember, everything is based on the author's settings!]
Their Heavenly Dao Sect originally had many experts, but due to internal strife, only Mao Xiaofang remained to carry the burden.
It should be noted that there was someone stronger than Mao Xiaofang, Lei Gang, but Lei Gang was wicked and had been expelled from the sect.
Otherwise, the leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect should rightfully be Lei Gang!
However, because the Heavenly Dao Sect was short of people, Mao Xiaofang became the sect leader ahead of schedule, and his status was higher than that of Shi Jian and others!
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Mao Xiaofang!"
The senior disciples from each sect called out respectfully in unison.
Because Mao Xiaofang is known as a good person in the underworld.
Although his status was equivalent to that of the sect leader, Mao Xiaofang did not act like a sect leader at all.
On the contrary, they are very easy to talk to.
Mao Xiaofang is the nineteenth generation successor of the Tiandao School. He is stern-faced but kind-hearted, and extremely principled. However, he is also quite traditional and stubborn, and very resistant to new things. Sometimes he can be very stingy and unwilling to part with even a penny.
You could say that he is similar to Uncle Nine in some ways, but they are not related; they just look alike.
......................
Mao Xiaofang cupped his hands in greeting: "Fellow Daoists!"
He did not look down on others just because he was the sect leader.
This is why he treats Uncle Nine and Qianhe as equals.
Mao Xiaofang's gaze swept over everyone, and wherever he looked, everyone felt an inexplicable pressure.
This is what they really think.
After all, Mao Xiaofang is currently at the peak of the Celestial Master realm!
