The godly monk Wu Nian is dead.
When Wu Nian came, he did not cover his tracks. The soldiers like Kuang San who were guarding the city did not recognise him, but those with some knowledge and information knew that Wu Nian had entered the Northern Zhou Palace alone.
And then came the news of his death.
The news spread throughout the north and south of the great rivers. Within seven days, everyone in the world knew that the number one position on the Earth Ranking was empty.
What was even more shocking than the news of Wu Nian’s death was that the person who killed Wu Nian was Qing Yu, the tenth demon dao on the Earth Ranking.
This demon dao, who was at the very end of the rankings, killed the top ranked Wu Nian divine monk.
This time, Qing Yu was truly in everyone’s eyes and known to the world.
Wu Nian had been at the top of the Earth Ranking for over thirty years, and many thought he would stay there until he achieved Godhood or died at the end of his life.
The only thing they did not expect was that Wu Nian would die at the hands of a martial artist of the same realm. Moreover, he died seven days before Nirvana.
As a result, many forces began to collect information about that Daoist who was originally ranked at the bottom of the Earth Ranking, to learn about his past.
In the True Martial Sect.
Xuan Goblet put away the letter in his hand and smiled bitterly, “I didn’t expect that Qing Yu he would have killed Wunian of Fa Xiang Temple. If it weren’t for this letter, I’d really be afraid that one day he’d be sought revenge at his door by a senior member of the Fa Sang Temple. Doesn’t he know the status of Wu Nian in Fa Xiang Temple?”
Wu Nian is the senior brother of the contemporary Abbot of Fa Sang Temple. But this status was still of secondary importance, what really mattered was that he might soon be promoted to Tong Shen.
In seven days, just seven days, Wu Nian would be in Nirvana, and the probability of success was not small. If such a strong man of the Tong Shen realm who was about to realise was gone, any other power would go mad.
If Qing Yu hadn’t written to the Dharma Sangha and explained to the other side the circumstances surrounding Wu Nian’s quest for revenge, there would probably have been Dharma Sangha executives at his door by now.
In the end, it was the Great Zen Temple that was to thank. If it wasn’t for their powerful deterrent that made the Dharma Sangha Temple scornful and afraid of being counted on by the Great Zen Temple, Qing Yu would have been hiding somewhere else by now.
Of course, not seeking revenge now did not mean that the grudge was put aside. If there was really a chance, Fa Sang Temple wouldn’t mind giving Qing Yu a death blow.
“Qing Yu’s letter said that his progress is fast approaching, Senior Sister, how is it going on your end?” Xuan Goblet looked expectantly at Xuan Zhen.
“It should be fast too.” Xuan Zhen said indifferently.
At this moment, Xuan Zhen’s aura was sometimes indistinct and sometimes solid, and within his aura, it was even more elusive as it seemed to change in a thousand ways.
“Almost there, almost there, just one more opportunity.”
“That’s good,” Xuan Goblet breathed a sigh of relief, “as long as we endure until you guys advance to the Tong Shen stage, then the end of Xuan Chen should come.”
Xuan Zhen, however, was not so optimistic, “On Xuan Chen’s side, it has been decided that a resolution of the Seven Peaks will be held in half a month’s time. At that time, I will attend by way of formation projection, so let’s hope that Xuan Chen doesn’t see through it.”
Her current aura was so volatile that she couldn’t hide it from others, and if her real body went to participate, it was highly likely that Xuan Chen would see through it. If that was the case, whether it would alarm the snake or whether it would make Xuan Chen take action directly, Xuan Zhen could not anticipate.
“D*mn it, how did Xuan Chen’s injuries heal so quickly!” Xuan Goblet was also annoyed at the thought of this matter.
This Seven Peaks Resolution was to decide whether or not Xuan Goblet would take over the position of Peak Master of the Ten Thousand Dharma Peaks. It was originally scheduled for last year, but due to the Daoist Conference, it was delayed by Xuan Chen until after the Daoist Conference.
However, after the meeting was over, Xuan Chen and the others were ambushed and seriously injured on the way. As a result, the Seven Summits resolution was delayed again.
Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Xuan Chen had to take the initiative to open the Seven Summits Resolution again.
The Seven Summits Resolution, which would have allowed him to take over as Peak Master and further threaten Xuan Chen, could now reveal Xuan Zhen’s situation. Xuan Goblet could not help but feel like he had lifted a stone to smash his own feet.
“If you can cover it up, try to cover it up as much as possible. If it really doesn’t work, I’ll go out and hide for a while. It’s better to cause Xuan Chen to be on alert than to let him find out about my condition.” Xuan Zhen said helplessly.
“During these days, you should not miss the mark either. You should also keep in touch with Xuan Yin and Xuan Xu as usual. Both of them are highly suspicious, so don’t let them get suspicious.”
“Senior brother understands.” Xuan Goblet nodded his head and said.
It was now a critical moment, and any slip-up could lead to a total loss. Although Xuan Goblet was anxious in his heart, he could not reveal a single flaw on the surface.
“Senior sister, I have thought of senior Xuan Fa ——”
“Hmm?” Xuan Zhen said somewhat uncomprehendingly.
“You said, back then, why did senior brother want to seize the True Martial Sword and force his way through the palace. As long as a little time is given, it is highly likely that he will be able to sink his injustice. Why is this bit of time not available?
Is it because Brother Xuanfa was wronged and unwilling to wait? Or is someone in the True Martial Sect at work?”
Xuan Goblet spoke as he recalled, a complex look in his eyes and his brows locked in a frown.
The so-called “someone is haunting” did not point broadly to everyone in the True Martial Sect, but to the Three Elders of True Martial in the forbidden place at the back of the mountain alone.
Back then, the previous Sect Leader, Tong Xuan, had suddenly gone off the rails and left the world, leaving the position of Sect Leader up in the air. This led to the subsequent struggle between Xuan Fa and Xuan Chen.
The people who arbitrated the contest for the headship at that time were the three True Martial Elders in the forbidden place at the back of the mountain.
“This matter is also very hard for me to figure out. But after so many years, all the clues that should have been there have been broken. Now, if you want to find the truth, you won’t be able to do so.” Xuan Chen said.
After Xuan Chen had succeeded as Sect Leader, he had started to clean up the traces left by Xuan Fa. Today, there were really no clues left.
“Then let’s forget it,” Xuan Goblet sighed and said, “This is a critical moment, but senior brother’s thoughts are in disarray, and he unconsciously thinks of the past.
Back then, we were also as close as a family, but now we have become like this, it is really saddening ——”
————————
In the shadowy chamber, the intricate array plate radiated a faint light and did a clockwise rotation.
On top of the array plate, the figure dressed in black fancy clothes revealed the upper half of his body, and only a dark face spoke a voice that blurred the timbre.
“Qing Yu has killed Wu Nian, his realm is undoubtedly already at the peak of the True Dan realm. Given his advancement, it is highly likely that he will become a member of the Tong Shen realm in a short period of time. When that time comes, how should I face him?”
The black figure teased.
“If I can’t even solve Qing Yu, it means that I’m no better than that. When the time comes, you can just go and find Qing Yu to work with.” In the secret room, another voice said.
“I don’t need you to say that, this king will do the same,” the black figure laughed lightly, “but this king has been waiting for the end of the two of you, waiting for you to share life and death.”
“And the winner will be me.”
In the darkness, a palm strike broke through the figure on the spell formation.
