Beast Taming Chapter 523: The Four Major Sects
Shi Xiayong asked himself that there was nothing wrong with his plan, but there were too many variables, which led to the complete collapse of his plan.
First, it is Shi Yan's cultivation. A kid who is seriously ill and whose cultivation has regressed to almost zero, even if he is talented, how far can he cultivate in thirteen years? In fact, Shi Yan has been cultivating for a shorter time, only for nearly two years. With his qualifications and the cultivation that has been accumulated for many years and finally exploded, he can only reach the peak of the Spirit Severing Stage at most. In two years of cultivation, he went from a waste of the third level of Huamai to the peak of the Spirit Severing Stage. This cultivation speed is unprecedented. However, even so, it is very easy to deal with a mere peak of the Spirit Severing Stage in front of the huge Shi family. However, no one expected that in addition to Shi Yan's identity, Shi Yan also had the identity of the Son of Yin in his previous life. The fusion of the power of his previous life made his cultivation impossible to understand with modern people's concepts, which led to the failure of Shi Xiayong's plan. This is one of the variables.
Second, the God of War came out of retreat. As the head of the Shi family, the old God of War was depressed because of the death of his grandson. He closed himself in the retreat. Who knew that at the most critical moment, he actually broke through the retreat. Originally, with the ancestor around, even if he came out of retreat, he would not be able to make much of a difference. How could he, who was at the peak of the Tribulation Period, fight against the immortals? But he just broke through into the realm of immortals because he heard that his grandson was not dead and returned! Breaking through the realm of immortals means being an immortal, and their strength has changed greatly from before. The God of War who broke through into the realm of immortals directly shocked the people of Shi Xiayong's lineage in the family, and finally captured Shi Xiayong alive. With the existence of the God of War, the ancestor had to think carefully if he wanted to take action. He took action for the future of the Shi family, but the battle between the two immortals would inevitably cause irreparable consequences, so he dared not act rashly. The God of War broke through to become an immortal, which became a deterrent, and this was the second variable.
What Shi Xiayong hated the most was the third variable, Shi Yan's mirage! This also directly exposed his lies, allowing the ancestors to recognize his true face and decide not to help him anymore. Without the protection of the ancestors, Shi Xiayong had no cards to use. In front of the three immortals, any cards were useless. He never thought that Shi Yan was so black-bellied that he recorded the situation of the day in the form of a mirage as evidence. Immortals can see through the truth, but the most difficult to distinguish is the human heart, so the ancestors will believe him. But it's different with evidence. The existence of evidence exposed his false clothes, making his intention to harm others impossible to hide. The ancestors saw it clearly, which led to the ancestors changing their attitude and capturing him personally. As for Shi Yan and the God of War, they were waiting for their fate. At this point, the plan collapsed completely.
These are the three major variables, and there are many smaller variables in between. Although they cannot change the results, they can still add fuel to the flames.
At that time, Xia Yong's face was ashen, and he sighed in his heart that God was not helping him.
At this point, he could only let them do whatever they wanted.
Shi Xiayong raised his head, still puzzled. Who was the man he saw at the Shi family's ancestral mausoleum that day? Was he sent by Shi Yan? Did he fall into his trap from that time? If so, then this man was scheming and chilling.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Shi Yan asked when he saw him looking at him.
"Did you send the person who was in the ancestral mausoleum that day?" Shi Xiayong asked, "That person was very young, wielded a mysterious blood sword, and was able to fight me at the level of Spirit Severing. Was he your man?"
"Ancestral tomb?" Shi Yan was puzzled.
Seeing that he was puzzled, Xia Yong just smiled and said no more.
After today's battle, the Shi family has completely changed. Not only did the former head of the family break through the barrier, but also the former Tianmen Holy Body, the pride of the Shi family, Shi Yan, has returned. Although Xia Yong once blocked the news about him, and now children under the age of seventeen do not know him, the young people at that time have now grown up and work in various institutions of the Shi family. Naturally, they cannot forget the extremely dazzling Shi Yan. When these children asked them, they told them about Shi Yan's former glory, which made these children admire him.
Shi Hanshan returned to the back mountain to meditate, and when he left, he took Shi Xiayong with him and asked him to serve him.
Shi Hanshan came out of seclusion in a hurry this time, and returned in a hurry, so that except Shi Xiayong, Shi Yan and others, no one knew that he had appeared.
People outside only knew that someone attacked the Shi family and won a great victory.
This piece of news spread throughout Tianmen Territory and its surrounding areas in less than a day.
According to the news that was sent back, the Shi family suffered a great defeat, a large number of disciples' cultivation was destroyed, and a large number of masters were killed. Some people even said that many of the Shi family's top fighters had died, and the head of the family was the first to be killed.
The news was true or false, which made the major sects guess. In the end, they concluded based on the memories of the spectators on the scene that even if the news was not completely correct, it was about 70% to 80% correct. Countless Shi family disciples were killed or injured, and the Shi family's battle group, the Xuanwu group, was almost paralyzed. Especially the head of the family, Shi Xiayong, according to informants, has never shown his face since that day, and it is speculated that he was really killed. Especially in the last battle, Shi Hanshan took action and was mistaken for Shi Xiayong, and was finally killed by Shi Yan. In other words, after the battle that day, the Shi family has become an empty shell.
The Shi family has three major battle groups, the Xuanwu group is the second battle group, and now the Xuanwu group is almost paralyzed. A large number of disciples of the third battle group, the Zhuyan group, are unable to participate in the war due to the impact of that battle. It can be said that the combat effectiveness of the entire Zhuyan group has been lost by more than half, which can be ignored. As for the first battle group, the Baiwu battle group, although it belongs to Shi Xin's side and is not affected at all, there is only one Baiwu battle group left among the three battle groups. How can it guard the huge Shi family? Especially since the head of the Shi family, Shi Xiayong, is missing and there is no leader, how much combat effectiveness can the Baiwu battle group exert?
All of this is obvious.
For a time, the Shi family became the prey of all the major sects and families in the Tianmen Territory!
"The Shi family has suffered such a great disaster, and their luck has come to an end."
"Will he appear out of nowhere like Shi Hanshan did three hundred years ago, turn the tide, and bring the declining Shi family back to glory?"
"Even if there is another Shi Hanshan, the present is different from the past. In the past, there were three major battle groups for him to command, and the enemies were suspicious of each other. Now, two of the three major battle groups are gone, and the head of the family is missing. More importantly, we are not suspicious of each other like our ancestors. We are an alliance, a whole. What do you think, even if there is another Shi Hanshan, what does it matter?"
"That's right, that's right, Immortal is right, the Shi family has lost the right time, right place and right people, how can they not be defeated?"
Four loud laughs were heard in the dim room.
The leader is Shanghe Zhenren, the head of Yuhuatianyu.
The other three are Cui Dingzhen, the leader of Liuguang Immortal Sect, Nanmen Buer, the master of Zichen Star Gate, and Li Yunji, the master of Tianya Star Pavilion.
Three hundred years ago, because of Shi Hanshan, the Shi family jumped from the last place in the twelve major sects to the second largest sect among the twelve major sects. It can be said that Shi Yan squeezed into the second largest sect by stepping on the bodies of these four sects. The hatred of the four major sects for the Shi family far exceeded that of other sects in the same camp. Today, when they learned that the Shi family had suffered such a disaster, they quickly gathered together to discuss how to eliminate the Shi family.
Yuhua Tianyu has a very good relationship with Taixuan Xianmen. It is said that Shanghe Zhenren and Taiyi Zhenren had the same master when they were young and had a very good relationship. After the two returned home and took charge of their sects, although there were fewer personal contacts, there were more contacts between sects, and there was a vague intention to become the second largest sect in Tianmen Domain. Liuguang Xianmen, Zichen Xingmen and Tianya Xingge are also Taixuan Xianmen sects. Liuguang Xianmen ranks fifth, Zichen Xingmen ranks ninth, and Tianya Xingge ranks eleventh. Donghuang Palace and Tongtian Tower also belong to their sect.
Yuhuatianyu Liuguang Immortal Sect, Zichen Star Sect and Tianya Star Pavilion were all alliances formed three hundred years ago mainly to target the Shi family. Today, when the Shi family suffered such a disaster, they immediately gathered together and tried to annex the Shi family.
"However, Shi Hanshan is a hidden danger. I wonder if that old guy is still alive." Li Yunji said. Shi Hanshan was the culprit who destroyed their trick three hundred years ago. At that time, Shi Hanshan fought against three immortals alone, but he was not at a disadvantage at all. Instead, the three immortals from the four major families complained bitterly. In the end, the immortal of Tianya Star Pavilion died on the spot, which was also the reason why Tianya Star Pavilion fell to the eleventh place of the twelve major immortal gates. The other two immortals escaped with serious injuries. After returning to the family, they went into seclusion. Among them, the immortal of Liuguang Immortal Gate died one hundred and eighty years ago. This was also because of the hidden illness left by the war three hundred years ago that led to his death. Over the years, no immortals have appeared in their two sects, and they are in a state of decline. If it were not for the help of Yuhua Tianyu and Zichen Star Gate, I am afraid they would have fallen out of the twelve major immortal gates.
"It's been three hundred years. Even if he's not dead, how can he still have any fighting power?" Shanghe Zhenren said with a smile, "Look, he didn't take any action when the Shi family encountered such a disaster. He must be dead or defeated. Otherwise, how could he let the enemy have an easy time?"
"What the Immortal said makes sense." Nanmen Buer said, "Since he shows no signs of becoming a saint, he must be too old to fight. Although he fought against our three great immortals and was not defeated in the battle three hundred years ago, he must have had some hidden injuries. Are the three great immortals so easy to fight?"
"Let's not talk about these. I just want to know how the benefits will be distributed after conquering the Shi family." Li Yunji said coldly. Their ancestor was killed directly by Shi Hanshan at the beginning. This sorrow was deep in his bones. When he mentioned Shi Hanshan, he felt hatred and exuded a fierce murderous intent.
The four of them looked at each other and fell silent.
"I won't use my sect's status to put pressure on you. How about we just see who contributes more and gets more?" said Master Shanghe.
"Old fox!" The other three people thought to themselves, Yuhua Tianyu is the third largest sect and has the support of Taixuan Xianmen, so why can't it get the greatest benefit?
But what he proposed at this moment was to everyone's liking and no one objected.
"In that case, we need to finalize the plan."
