Emperor Yu descended the Four Pillars: to suppress demons, exorcise devils, deliver ghosts, and slay immortals. From the Four Pillars, Four Gates were born: the Dao Gate to slay demons, the Buddhis...
Chapter 448 Believe it or not, I will reveal your secrets!
While Li Yanmo was still thinking about it, Hong Menglian had already started to get anxious.
"Hurry, hurry up and grab a good spot!"
Li Yanmo was wondering what they were trying to grab when the other seventy-two ancient ships began to speed up, swooping towards the giant tower one after another. Even the small ships that followed the ancient ships rushed out with a whoosh.
Shen Ziqing leaned close to Li Yanmo's ear and whispered, "Master, the Dao Sect Competition is the most grand event of the Dao Sect's millions of sects. Led by the seventy-two super sects, many sects gather together. The original intention of the Dao Sect Competition is to stimulate the development of Dayu Daoism in a benign way. Therefore, in addition to the traditional competition, each sect that comes to participate in the Dao Sect Competition will also set up stalls, and some will even hold auctions."
Li Yanmo raised his eyebrows. "A super sect uses the Taoist competition to nourish the Taoist traditions of other sects?"
“Cough! Cough cough cough——”
Kong Pu and others started coughing. Judging from the awkward tone of their voices, it was obvious that the facts were a little different from what Li Yanmo had imagined.
Zhong Sanyuan glanced at Kong Pu.
Although he called Li Yanmo "Brother Li", elders like Kong Pu were still present and they were feeling awkward, so it was difficult for him to open his mouth.
So Zhong Sanyuan immediately looked at Hong Muer who was yawning.
Hong Muer was stunned at first, glanced at the embarrassed expressions of Kong Pu and others, then looked up and recalled what Li Yanmo had just said, and immediately reacted, "Ah~ Master Li, it's the other way around. Instead of nurturing other sects' Daoism, super sects prefer to show favor to other sects, so that the other sects' Daoism will unconsciously move closer to their own Daoism."
"And then... Sect Master, what was next? I forgot."
Hong Muer kicked the ball to Hong Menglian very lightly, accompanied by resentful looks from Kong Pu and others.
Hong Menglian was silent for a while, then she put her hands on her hips and asked confidently, "You dare to do it, why don't you take responsibility for it! Tianyin Demon Sect doesn't have--"
“…”
“I have done it many times.”
Hong Menglian muttered something quickly and softly, then quickly walked up to Hong Muer and punched her on the head.
"mom!?"
"Call me Sect Master!" Hong Menglian was so angry that she poked her finger at Hong Muer's face and twisted it vigorously, "I told you not to talk nonsense when there are many people around!"
"But Mr. Li wants to know the details," Hong Muer said with a look of grievance on her face.
"Then can't you just say it in private? Just say that someone from the Hunyuan Sect or someone from the Tianchi Mountain did it, and don't mention the Tianyin Demon Sect!"
"……oh--"
The Hunyuan Taoist of the Hunyuan Sect and Tianqiong on the Tianchi Lake were in a subtle mood.
On the bright side, Hong Menglian did her bad deeds openly and did not order Hong Muer behind their backs.
But if they didn't teach Hong Menglian a lesson, they would feel very upset.
"Ah - come to think of it, there used to be a first-rate sect called Tianqin Sect," Kong Pu said leisurely with his hands behind his back and head raised. "The sect leader, Qinnu, was incredible. She devoted her life to studying the art of qin. If she could break through the Tribulation Crossing Stage, Tianqin Sect would surely become a new super sect."
Hong Menglian's heart skipped a beat.
Xia Tian also seemed to recall something, "Yeah, it's a pity that the gods are jealous of talented people. I don't know who Qin Nu met in the Taoist competition, and I don't know how she was fooled into going to a certain Tianyin Demon Sect to learn to play the qin. I don't know how it happened that while she was teaching, the Tianqin Sect disappeared, but the qin art appeared in the Tianyin Demon Sect's Taoist tradition."
Taoist Hunyuan slapped his forehead and said, "Come to think of it, there seemed to be someone who came to the Tianyin Demon Sect that year. Eh - I think her name was Hong Menglian - Sect Master. I don't know if you still remember her. My memory is not very good."
The deliberate pause by the Taoist Hunyuan made Hong Menglian's heart stop. After realizing that the other party was deliberately playing a trick on her, Hong Menglian raised her trembling hand and pointed at the Taoist Hunyuan and others, "This is how you play it, right? Believe it or not, I will expose your secrets!"
Taoist Hunyuan and the others smiled calmly and said in unison, "I bet you don't remember it at all."
"You--I! Okay! Mr. Li, listen to me, they--"
Hong Menglian's eyes widened, and she was about to report some information about the people in front of her, but when she searched her mind, she found that there was nothing to find out about the negative information about these people.
"them……"
"They are all my defeated enemies!"
"... For you, this is probably all you can remember," Xia Tian couldn't help but complain, "As a sect leader, you should pay attention to the movements of other super sects. It's not like your Tianyin Demon Sect doesn't have an intelligence department."
Li Yanmo coughed awkwardly, "Master Hong, instead of looking back at the past that cannot be changed, it is better to look forward to the future. As you all know, I intend to use this Taoist competition to truly support those Taoist sects with weak traditions."
Kong Pu was the first to applaud and shouted "good".
Seeing that his image as the king of support was being robbed, Xia Tian immediately changed his mind and scratched his beard, "Lord Li has the world in his heart, and we will definitely cooperate with him to the fullest."
Hong Menglian curled her lips and said, "What cooperation? All the good seats are almost taken."
As soon as Hong Menglian finished speaking, a loud noise was heard from the giant tower. Several ships operated by first-rate sects were fighting in the air around one location. All kinds of spells were mercilessly directed at the opponent's ships. And this was only the tip of the iceberg of the opening struggle of the Taoist Competition. Even more intense battles abounded.
In comparison, the super sects were much more reserved. They were simply racing and had their own clear goals. Even if a collision occurred occasionally, they would complete the discussion immediately.
While other sects were still fighting each other, the ancient ship of the super sect had already been located in the prime location of the giant tower, coolly combining with the giant tower to form a new building.
Kong Pu coughed and said calmly, "There is no other way now. I will sacrifice myself. I will personally help Master Li conquer the place where the Three Transformations of the Galaxy are held. I think my fellow disciples will understand!"
Faced with Kong Pu's selfish spirit of self-sacrifice, Xia Tian and other sect leaders wanted to spit on the ground, but when they thought that this was on Li Yanmo's boat, they decided to spit on Kong Pu's face.
But before that, they had something more important to do.
"Master Li, the location of the Xinghe Sanzhuan Sect has bad feng shui. Our Xianyue Tower is the real prime location. We earn a lot of spiritual power every time we compete in the Taoist sects - cough! We attract the attention of many sects!"
"Go away - your crappy place is not as good as the location of my Hunyuan Sect! Do you understand the value of being ranked ninth on the most popular list of the last Taoist Competition?"
Seeing others scrambling to lead the way, Hong Menglian finally reacted.
No wonder these people are not in a hurry at all, it turns out they are already prepared!
“I, I, I—”
"Mom, our location is not good, it's the fifteenth from the bottom."
