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 479: The Inheritance of the Eight Desolate Emperors
Following the Nascent Soul competition which was a foregone conclusion, the Spiritual Transformation competition began in full swing.
This time, there was no shocking incident of a large-scale breakthrough by a genius from the Xutian Taoist school, so the protagonist of the competition returned to the genius from the Taoist school who had reached the level of transformation into a god.
Probably because the elders above had given a death order, many geniuses from super sects fought extra hard, and their dazzling tactics successfully drove away the heaviness brought by the Military Sect's takeover of the Confucian Sect. However, the elders from the super sects and first-rate sects were somewhat absent-minded, their eyes were wandering, and no one knew what they were looking for.
Among them, super sects such as Dou Zong are particularly uneasy.
Dai Qianqiu was flexing his arms. His opponent, Qiao Zhanshan, had already entered the arena. Despite his aggressive appearance, Dai Qianqiu could still see that Qiao Zhanshan was absent-minded. This made Dai Qianqiu, who had been preparing for several days and waiting to go on stage and punch Qiao Zhanshan in the face, very annoyed and helpless.
He can still distinguish right from wrong.
Li Yanmo did not explain to any of the sect leaders the matter of the Military Sect taking over the Confucian Sect, but when they thought about it themselves, it was not strange. Li Yanmo had already involved himself, so how could the matter be small?
The sect leaders also inferred that everything was under control from Li Yanmo's leisurely posture of drinking tea.
So what do they have to worry about?
"Qiao Zhanshan, are you still going to fight?"
After Dai Qianqiu's reminder, Qiao Zhanshan came back to his senses and scratched his ears. "You couldn't beat me when you were in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation. Now you're only in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation and you still want to fight me? How about this, I won't bully you. I will suppress my cultivation to the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation and fight you."
Seeing that Qiao Zhanshan had finally gotten into the state, Dai Qianqiu rubbed his hands excitedly, with his fingers raised, and was about to summon the Six Paths Wheel.
At this time, the sound of heavy horns split the sky, the sea of clouds rolled, and countless figures slowly emerged. At first, they were hazy like phantoms, and then gradually became clear. The first to appear was the word "Dayu". The leading general was wearing golden armor and a phoenix-wing helmet. The helmet tassels danced like flames.
The representative of the super sect on the judges' stand suddenly stood up.
"Dayu's Imperial Army!?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of light fell and heavily smashed into the venue of the Taoist competition. When the light faded, everyone could see the true form. It was a huge hook. The heavy chain kept extending and finally sank into the clouds.
Before everyone could react, more hooks came down, forming a dragnet.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
Cang Lei stepped forward and asked tentatively, "I wonder what the general wants to do?"
The general took off his helmet, and his appearance made everyone present startled again.
Because the visitor was none other than Xiao Yun, who had missed out on the title of nobility because of Li Lin in the Yanzhou expedition and who had cultivated the bones of a great saint with the help of the power of the Dao Pillar.
"Of course it's official business," Xiao Yun snorted coldly. Although he was still in the Spirit Transformation Stage, the powerful aura he exuded made even Cang Lei feel his scalp tingling.
Cang Lei knew that Xiao Yun's high-profile visit this time must have been instructed by Emperor Yu to test him, but people from both Xutian Taoist Sect and Tianxu Tower were watching below, so he couldn't give a direct answer and could only bite the bullet and play dumb.
"Official business? I wonder what the General is referring to?"
Xiao Yun snorted coldly, "There are extremely vicious criminals hiding at the Taoist competition site. I am here to arrest them!"
After these words were spoken, Gui Wuchang and others could no longer hold back.
Isn't Emperor Yu too anxious? This is not the right way to force people to express their opinions!
Cang Lei played dumb and said, "General, you must have misunderstood. How could there be such a vicious person in the Taoist competition? General, can you tell me the truth so that I can help you track him down."
"Humph! Still playing dumb!"
Cang Lei's heart instantly rose to his throat.
"I'm talking about Li Lin! That evil creature practices Heaven Devouring Magic and devours cultivators to improve his cultivation. I have received reliable intelligence that he has sneaked into the Dao Sect Competition early in the morning and devoured the cultivation of the Tianjiao in the Dao Sect Competition!" Xiao Yun shouted, "So many people are missing, and you are still pretending?!"
Cang Lei was stunned.
Gui Wuchang and others were also stunned. After a brief moment of shock, they reacted and broke out in cold sweat.
Cang Lei's eyes flickered for a while, then he bowed and saluted, "General Xiao, we don't know about this matter, but the Heaven Devouring Demon Art is a forbidden technique. Anyone who practices this art can be killed by anyone. If General Xiao doesn't mind, we can help you."
"Help me? Humph—"
Xiao Yun snorted contemptuously and ignored Cang Lei, but turned around and shouted.
"Li Lin! I'm here, do you still want to hide? Or do you want me to catch you out myself?"
Li Yanmo didn't understand how Li Lin and Xiao Yun's drama had come to this point, but out of trust in these two people, Li Yanmo still chose to drink tea leisurely.
Kong Pu and others, who already knew that Xiao Yun and Li Yanmo were master and disciple, rubbed their hands and watched the show.
I said we had a backup plan, and look here it is!
After a short pause, a long laugh came from one of the arenas. A man took off his mask and looked up at Xiao Yun fearlessly, "Why, do you want to give me two more bones?"
Many monks exclaimed in surprise.
It was not just because that person was Li Lin in disguise, but also because Li Lin was already a Jindan cultivator and had been winning consecutive games since he stepped onto the ring. With his initial cultivation level, he had defeated middle- and late-stage Jindan cultivators, and among them was even a disciple from a super sect.
You know, when Yanzhou went on the expedition, Li Lin was still in the Nascent Soul stage, but now Li Lin has actually reached the early stage of the Spiritualization stage? !
Everyone immediately thought of the reason why Xiao Yun came here.
Arrest Li Lin, who was secretly practicing the Heaven-Devouring Magic Skill and devouring the geniuses at the Taoist competition.
The Mu Mao Sect and other quasi-first-class sects were sweating more and more.
They knew better than anyone why Li Lin was able to devour so many geniuses quietly.
If Li Lin pushed them out, let alone becoming a first-rate sect, it would be another matter whether they could survive!
Xiao Yun's face suddenly darkened, "You evil creature! Don't be so presumptuous! The imperial guards are here, do you think you can escape!"
"Hahahaha—do you think you're the only one with help?"
As soon as Li Lin said this, Gui Wuchang's expression suddenly changed.
This Li Lin wants to drag them all down with him!
What was this? They weren't even ready to drag Bahuang Hou into the water, but they were being dragged into the water first?
Gui Wuchang gritted his teeth, made a prompt decision, and prepared to kill Li Lin directly.
It is better to offend Marquis Bahuang than to be disliked by Tianxu Tower, considered useless by Xutian Taoist sect, and recognized as an enemy by Emperor Yu!
But at this moment, the entire Taoist competition site was shaken as if the earth was shaking.
The pillars nailed into the Eight Desolate Lands collapsed with a loud bang, the ground cracked, and the air of desolation gushed out from it. As the cracks gradually enlarged, one wild monster after another squeezed out of them. They twisted their necks and showed creepy smiles to the monks present.
A strange sound came from their throats.
"The inheritance of the Eight Desolate Emperor has appeared, and those who are destined to receive it will obtain it——"
"The inheritance of the Eight Desolations Emperor!?" someone exclaimed.
Li Lin laughed loudly and jumped into the nearest crack. "Xiao Yun! When I get the inheritance of the Eight Desolate Emperor, it will be your death!"
Xiao Yun's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately shouted towards the distance, "Marquis Bahuang, why don't you stop the desolate monster!"
A voice came from a distance, "This matter is not convenient for me to take action, lest the general think that I am abusing my power for personal gain."
