The Altar of Destiny, tucked away in the wilderness of south-western Shuzhou.
After flying all the way across a thousand wildernesses and walking among the mountains, Xuan Yin Jian Su and the others finally saw the complex of buildings that occupied almost the entire mountain range.
The Altar of Destiny, carved and forged from cold, solemn rock as a whole, had an ancient and vicissitudes aura that could be seen just from its appearance.
“There are formations.”
“Summon the war beast Heaven Slayer to charge straight in.” Xuan Yin Jian Su said.
In terms of their study of formations and their grasp of calculations, these few swordsmen of theirs were far inferior to the Destiny Altar who were proficient in the Way of Heavenly Mechanics. Since this was the case, the only way was to use force to break the trick.
The Xuan Yin Swordsman took out the Demon Mastery Order and injected his demonic energy.
The Devil Mastery Order emitted an eerie light and invisible fluctuations, summoning the war beast Heaven Slayer that had followed the four here.
The next moment, with a hissing roar, the earth crumbled and the War Beast Sky Slayer emerged from the earth with the Sky Splitter in its hand, striding forward.
The formation capable of stopping the Tong Shen realm crumbled under the dancing Sky Splitting Earth, and a wild killing force rushed forward to attack the Altar of Destiny.
“Who is it?”
Baili Divine Calculus, who had remained at the Altar of Destiny, swept out into the air, only to see four sword diagrams pressing across the sky, so fierce and domineering that it was difficult to resist.
At the same time, the war beast Heaven Slaying rampaged into the Altar of Destiny, smashing into pieces wherever it pa*sed, regardless of whether it was a person or an object.
At this moment, Baili Divine Calculation knew that the Altar of Destiny might be finished.
He had no time to think deeply, for the Sword Deity had already arrived.
——
An hour later, the Altar of Destiny returned to calm once again, but its ownership, however, had changed to a new owner.
The Old Man of Time and Destiny was often away from home, and it was normal for him to be absent from the Destiny Altar for several months. So he had been dead for a month or two, but the Altar of Destiny did not know that he had died, and a*sumed that he was travelling around the world and had not prepared in advance to defend himself against his enemies.
So, under the cover of the Void Demon Mirror, the four Xuan Yin Swordsmen succeeded in their surprise attack and captured the Altar of Destiny in one fell swoop.
Those who resisted died, and those who surrendered were crushed in the lobby of the meeting hall.
“I was expecting to encounter some surprises, but I didn’t expect that the Altar of Destiny would be suppressed so easily.”
Yun Zheng flipped through the roster in his hand and asked Baili Shenzheng, who was half-kneeling on the ground, “All the secret sons of the Destiny Altar are on here?”
As the first person to face the enemy, Baili Divine Reckoning was well aware of the enemy’s formidable strength, so after being severely injured by the Sword Dipper, he decisively surrendered without the slightest hesitation.
It was only because of Baili Shenquan’s surrender that the four men were able to collect the spoils of war so quickly. This roster was one of the spoils of war, and it was a very important one.
Although everything was difficult to achieve due to the secret plan of the Second Five, the decades-long arrangement he had made before could not be faked.
This thick roster has an extremely wide net.
“Old Man Time-Life is suspicious by nature, he should still have hidden, the names of those dark sons should not be recorded on the roster.” Baili Divine Calculation shook his head and laughed bitterly.
“That Whale Stream Island’s young island master, Liang Adversary, you should know where he is, right?” Yun Zheng then asked.
Liang Inverse Xing was a Seven Kill Star Lord trained by the Old Man of Time and Destiny, but he had been badly injured in the battle of Flying Tide Town and had disappeared without a trace.
One of the purposes of Yun Zheng and the others’ trip was to find him.
“I know, he’s at ——”
“Boom…”
Baili Divine was about to say where Liang Adverse was when a figure burst through the roof and crashed into the pillars of the lobby.
And then, the figure of Xuan Yin Sword Sage flew into the lobby through the broken hole in the roof and nailed the figure to the pillar with a sword.
“There’s no need to look for him, he’s Liang Adversary.”
Countless demon souls spread out from the Heavenly Demon Sword, binding the man’s body, and the Swordhost maintained the demon souls while saying.
“He?”
Yun Zheng took a look at the cloaked figure, watching him hiss and struggle continuously, and was actually a little stunned.
Liang Adversary, the Seven Kill Star Lord, had actually become a madman.
“He is Liang Inverse Xing,” Baili Divine Calculation confirmed, “After Old Man Timeless Destiny brought him back, he originally wanted to use a secret technique to wash away his memory and make him a sword in his own hands. But to his surprise, Liang Inverse was injured by the sound waves and his temperament has been unstable, very susceptible to the Seven Killings Star Power, turning him into a madman who kills on sight.
So he has been trapped in the dungeon.”
At the beginning in Fei Chao Town, Liang Adversary had suffered a blow from the Heavenly Dragon Roar, and although he didn’t die, he was left with the after-effects. This unstable blade was something that could easily injure itself.
It was also tragic to say that the Three Fierce Stars laid by the Timeless Old Man had been targeted by Qing Yu early on and had been striking without missing an opportunity, so that they had basically not been put to any use.
Now the three star lords, one dead and one crazy, and only the remaining star lord Gao Baiyang is still normal.
“Having found Liang Adversary, one third of the mission has been completed, the rest will wait for the arrival of the followers.” The Xuan Yin Sword Sovereign said.
For the remaining two-thirds, one was to place a ban on the surrendees and take them to the Northern Zhou Qintian Supervisor, but to collect and take away the hidden books within the Altar of Destiny, as well as other spoils of war.
“Jian Ji is already gathering the hidden books, Seven Nights, go and help her.” Yun Zheng said.
Xiao Qiye, who was standing by the side holding his sword, nodded wordlessly and silently marched towards the Destiny Altar’s book collection.
At this moment, Baili Shenzhu’s eyes rolled for a moment and said, “Gentlemen – I wonder if I can also join the Daoist Monarch’s clan, I also know quite a few hidden secrets.”
Although he had surrendered, surrender and defection were not the same, and defection to these few was not the same as direct defection to Qing Yu.
“Oh? What chips do you have that you dare to say that you are surrendering to the Daoist monarch?” Yun Zheng asked.
“Bargaining chips, naturally, I have, after all, I have also followed the Old Man of Time and Destiny for so many years,” Baili Divine Calculation laughed heatedly, “Just like, the Palace Master of Luofu Palace, Huayu Fei, is the new Five Officials King of the Palace of Ghosts.”
“Hua Yu Fei!”
Yun Zheng’s face changed and the corners of his mouth curved away, “This, indeed, is good news!”
Qing Yu wanted to jerk Luofu Palace down, but had been missing a reason to do so. Originally, he had planned to wait for Yun Zheng’s strength to come up and use his divisional feud as an excuse to challenge Luo Fu Palace, but now, there was no need to wait.
And compared to Yunzheng’s personal vendetta, the reason of colluding with the Underworld Palace was even more grand and most prestigious.
Even if the Palace of the Underworld had the backing of the Great Qian, it could not hide the fact that it was an evil organisation. Not to mention the fact that the Ghost Emperor was killed by the Nine Heavens led by Zhang Daoling.
No matter how one looks at it, the Daoist Sect has a great grudge against the Hall of Ghosts.
“If this matter is true, it will prove your worth,” said the Xuan Yin Sword Sovereign as he knocked Liang Inverse out with a slap, “The Daoist Monarch never refuses the allegiance of a worthy person. Of course, the prerequisite is that you are subject to the ban.”
“That is of course.” Baili Shenxu nodded in a hurry.
As a descender, he still had this point of self-knowledge.
