“Wh-”
The clear breeze blew, and the white clouds that heavily surrounded the top of Wanfa Peak slowly dispersed and continued to sway with the wind.
In the distance, a white crane spreads its wings on Chonghe Peak, soaring in the long sky.
The time was just right.
The meeting of the Taiji Hall had ended and the major peak masters returned to their peaks on white cranes. In that time, it was enough for Lin Quxuan to kill a slightly weaker wild Taoist priest, and a waste of a true dan who had scattered his dao and did not want to live, and to leave from the waterhole again.
It should have been like this.
“Whirrrr-”
Another gust of wind blew and pure white cranes appeared in the sky.
“Better not let the white crane land or it will lose its legs for fear of losing them.” Qing Yu spoke out to warn.
In the True Martial Sect, the mounts of the other peak masters were all Dan Ding Cranes, and only the mount of Xuan Zhen, the peak master of the Su Maiden Peak, was a white crane with a snow-white body.
Hearing this, Xuan Zhen fell from the white crane and landed flutteringly on the ground half a foot away, his true qi supporting his body as he slowly walked to the side of Qing Yu.
“The smell of blood is strong, there are people from the Blood Demon Cult infiltrating?” Xuan Zhen asked with a frown.
Wan Fa Peak was right between Chong He Peak and Su Nui Peak, so this Su Nui Peak Master could also have a good reason to stay here.
The blood scent in this place was so thick that it would be a bit abnormal if she didn’t stop.
“It’s not the Blood Demon Sect, it’s the Ten Thousand Poison Sect.”
Qing Yu’s gaze was fixed on the venom left behind by Lin Quxuan’s body there, “Ten Thousand Poison Sect, Lin Quxuan.”
The familiar name caused Xuan Zhen’s willow brows to frown lightly, “Is it him?”
“Fang just now, the top of this peak was surrounded by heavy clouds and mist, isolating news from the finish.” Qing Yu pointed to the white clouds that had dispersed.
Then it was right, it was that man.
Xuan Zhen was basically sure of the person behind this matter.
It was Lin Quxuan who had led people to block Xuan Zhen and Xuan Goblet and the others at the Tian Zhen Guan in Shu Zhou. Although the mastermind behind the attack had under-a*sessed Xuan Zhen and Xuan Goblet’s strength and was doomed to fail, on the surface, if not for Qing Yu’s help, Xuan Goblet would probably have suffered serious injuries.
She looked around a little and said, “Where is Senior Xuan Feng?”
There was no concern that Xuan Feng was in distress; if he had been, this Senior Nephew Qing Yu would not have had the leisure to stand here calmly.
“Over there.”
Qing Yu swept over to where the lounger had been, crouched down and pressed his hand on the ground, first removing the toxicity from the soil, then moving his true qi to manipulate the land to “spit out” the Xuan Feng that had been hidden underneath for so long.
A ripple rippled out and the sleeping old Taoist priest was taken out of the ground and laid on the cleaned up ground.
The battle between Qingyu and Lin Quxuan was loud and powerful, but Xuanfeng was still sleeping under the ground, unmoving.
“If you die, I’ll be in trouble.” Qing Yu looked at the sleeping Xuan Feng and chuckled softly.
It was a good thing that he had the foresight to hide Xuan Feng underground. Otherwise, with the overwhelming scope of Lin Quxuan’s Blood Soul Sand, Qing Yu could only hold fast to Xuan Feng’s side, powerless to advance and waiting for support.
“How was this Taiji Hall meeting?” Qing Yu asked as he stood up.
“The Demon Dao has resurfaced ————”
Xuan Zhen detailed the meeting in the Taiji Hall, when the peak masters of the peaks were discussing.
The Blood Demon Cult and the Heavenly Demon Palace had reappeared in the world, and the six sects of the Devil Dao were also raring to go, and some had even moved. This was not something that Qing Yu had expected.
However, the words at the end of Xuan Zhen’s sentence were something Qing Yu could not have predicted.
“The contemporary Heavenly Master Zhang of Mount Longhu has sent a message calling for all the major sects of the Dao to gather at Mount Longhu on the ninth day of the ninth month to convene a meeting of ‘Discourse on the Dao and Seek Truth’ to discuss how to deal with the resurgent demonic dao.”
‘Discussing the Tao and seeking truth?’ Qing Yu pondered in his heart.
Since there was the title of “Discussing the Way and Seeking Truth”, it naturally could not be for discussing how to deal with the Devil’s Way. In fact, it had been nearly four hundred years since the Daoist Truth Conference had been held.
The discussion is about the ranking of the Daoist sects and the affiliation of the four great Daoist sects.
Naturally, the Four Great Daoist Sects cannot remain unchanged. There is no such thing as an eternal dynasty, and there is no such thing as an unchanging sect. As dynasties rise and fall, sects naturally flourish and fall.
The only way for the four great schools of Taoism to change is through the meeting of the Taoist Masters of Truth.
“More than 400 years ago, the head of Luo Bu Palace, Fei Yu, defeated Yang Chong of Pure Yang Palace with his sword, making Luo Bu Palace one of the Four Great Taoist Sects. As the years go by, now Luofu Palace is facing the same dilemma as Pure Yang Palace did back then.” Qing Yu lamented.
Four hundred years ago, when the Pure Yang Palace was weakening and its masters were withering, Luo Fu Palace seized this opportunity and knocked the Pure Yang Palace out of the dust at the last session of the Daoist Truth-seeking Conference, pulling it down from its status as one of the Four Great Daoist Sects.
I never imagined that four hundred years later, Luofu Palace would have to face such a situation, and would be about to repeat the mistakes of its defeated rivals.
“Luofu Palace, after all, is a sect that has emerged from a different place, and its heritage is much inferior to that of our Daoist sects.” Xuan Zhen said.
The remaining three Daoist sects, the Tai Shang Daoist sect’s position is not easy for all time, and since its ascension to the top, Dragon Tiger Mountain has not once fallen from its position. Although the True Martial Sect lost its status as one of the Four Great Daoist Sects once, that time was two thousand years ago now.
In these circumstances, how deep should the heritage of these three sects be.
At least, the Shadow King dared to raid Luo Fu Palace, severely injure its Sect Master and plunder a large amount of Luo Fu Palace’s textbooks and martial arts, but he definitely would not dare to treat the True Martial Sect in such a way.
Even though Xuan Chen had offended the Shadow King so much, the Shadow King never had the slightest thought of raiding the True Martial Sect and killing Xuan Chen under him.
This was the potential strength of a sect that had been accumulated over a long period of time.
When the Shadow King dealt with Luo Fu Palace, he did not have the idea of picking the softest persimmon to pinch.
”Is this an evolved version of Thirty Years of River East and Thirty Years of River West? Four hundred years of River East, four hundred years of River West?” Qing Yu thought in his mind.
The Luofu Palace should not have expected that one of the four positions at the top of the Daoist sect, which Fei Yu Zhen had claimed at the last session of the Dao Quest, would have to be conceded this session.
Had it not been for that blow from the Shadow King that had cost the Luo Fu Palace so much, it would not have been faced with this crisis. In another few hundred years, when the reserves came up, it was not unlikely that Luofu Palace would not be like the remaining three Daoist sects, whose status would be difficult to change for a thousand years.
“In fact, how much better is our sect’s current situation than Luo Fu Palace?” Xuan Zhen suddenly had to laugh at himself.
The True Martial Sect still had its strength and its heritage, but the situation in the sect was really not optimistic. The Head Sect and the Anti-Head Sect were at war with each other, so much so that they had been in a situation of internal conflict.
And now, the conflict between the two factions has become completely irreconcilable and is about to explode. In the end, whichever faction wins, the strength of the True Martial Sect will face a great decline.
The scenario that the Luofu Palace had to face this time in the debate for truth was not unlike what the True Martial Sect would have to face next time.
At these words, Qing Yu was silent at the side.
He had not grown up in the True Martial Sect, so naturally he could not possibly appreciate Xuan Zhen’s feelings towards the True Martial Sect. The True Martial Sect was Xuan Zhen’s home, not Qing Yu’s, at least not right now. The current True Martial Sect was not yet Qing Yu’s.
