Chapter 588: The Three Palaces Fight Openly, the Hao Sun Undercurrents
"Yes, that was the last time when the underworld was broken by the mighty ones from Leiyin Temple, and Shizu escaped. It was truly a blessing from heaven."
Listening to the words of the elder of the Yun clan, Yun Zhenxian's expression darkened slightly and he asked:
"What did he do when he came back?"
"As soon as Shizu came back, he stopped the Lu clan from killing innocent people..." Although the elder of the Yun clan was a little confused, he still reported everything that had happened recently to Yun Zhenxian.
"You mean, Shi Nandang not only fell out with the Lu Clan, but also entered the Jiuyao Heaven?"
"yes!"
Yun Zhenxian was silent, as if he was thinking, but the people from the Yun and Luo clans in the hall exchanged glances silently, seeming to be anxious and hesitant.
Yun Fan of the Yun Clan gritted his teeth and spoke, "Holy Ancestor."
"Hmm?" Yun Zhenxian came back to his senses and looked at Yun Fan with a slightly surprised expression, "You've achieved corpse transformation?"
"yes."
"Not bad!" Yun Zhenxian finally smiled. This was probably the first and only good news he had heard since returning to Haori Mountain. "After wasting so many years, you finally saw the light of day."
"Holy Ancestor, the disciple's corpse transformation is actually due to Stone Ancestor."
“…”
Yun Zhenxian narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the gods in the hall.
These gods were people he trusted extremely, but at this moment some of them lowered their heads, as if they were afraid to look at him, and their posture seemed guilty and stubborn.
Yun Zhenxian looked at Yun Fan who was at the front and asked in a cold voice, "What do you want to say?"
"I..." Yun Fan gritted his teeth and said, "Disciple, please don't doubt someone you shouldn't doubt."
"presumptuous!"
Yun Zhenxian shouted coldly, and Yun Fan flew backwards and fell on the jade steps outside the third palace. He rolled over and groaned, with blood spurting from his mouth.
The blood flowed down the steps, one step at a time, like a small waterfall.
In the three palaces, the others were even more silent, without a single breath being heard.
Yun Zhenxian took two deep breaths, waved his hand, and Yun Fan's body flew back again, and fell into the hall with a bang.
"Whether Shi Nandang is truly suspicious or not, I still don't know." Yun Zhenxian stared at the prone Yun Fan and sneered, "But you, have already developed other intentions!"
"As long as... the Holy Ancestor and the Stone Ancestor are at peace."
Yunfan answered intermittently.
"You are a loyal dog to Shi Nandang!"
"Disciple...disciple is not doing this for Shi Zu." Yun Fan raised his head and stared at Yun Zhenxian, surprisingly stubborn. "This is for myself, for my Yun Clan, and for you, Saint Ancestor."
Yun Zhenxian stared at him and actually laughed: "For me? You, a traitor, dare you say it's for me?"
"Although I have received great kindness from Stone Ancestor, achieving Corpse Transmigration and now becoming the master of Qianqi Peak," Yun Fan said weakly, "I grew up within the clan, and the Holy Ancestor has always provided guidance. In terms of gratitude, the Holy Ancestor has been even more profound to me. How could I only be loyal to Stone Ancestor?"
His tone was mournful, and Yun Zhenxian's expression softened slightly. Yun Fan continued, "Has Saint Ancestor ever thought about what our Yun Clan would be like now if Shi Zu hadn't returned?"
Yun Zhenxian opened his mouth and suddenly found it difficult to answer this question.
What will it be like?
The Lu clan was almost going crazy. If it weren't for Shi Nandang's intimidation, most of the Luo clan would have been fed to the insects, and his Yun clan would have been seriously damaged.
Judging from the Lu Clan’s previous actions and the Gu God’s greed, the scene he would see when he returned would be ten times more tragic than now.
Seeing that Yun Zhenxian didn't say anything, Yun Fan said again: "If it weren't for Shizu, my Haori Mountain would be now..."
"Enough!" Yun Zhenxian's face darkened and he shouted, "You only know that he is Shi Nandang? What is his purpose in going to Haori Mountain? Do you know?"
Yun Fan was stunned for a moment.
Even the other people in the hall couldn't help but start to talk, obviously frightened by Yun Zhenxian's words.
Yun Fan murmured softly, still in disbelief: "No, not Master Shi?"
"Oh, I don't know who this guy is, but he entered our Haori Mountain with ulterior motives." Yun Zhenxian cursed, "You are so blind, and you still dare to speak for him?"
Yun Fan was silent for a long time. Just when Yun Zhenxian thought he was speechless, he suddenly asked, "A spy with ulterior motives is a hundred times more kind to my Yun clan than to the Lu clan."
“…”
"A spy, guiding me in my cultivation, calming the unrest within the sect, and saving the lives of my disciples." Yun Fan looked at Yun Zhenxian, his voice getting louder and louder. "Who is the spy of Haori Mountain, him or the Lu clan?"
Yun Zhenxian suddenly realized that the one who was speechless was actually himself.
What made him frown even more was that even though he pointed out the doubts about Shi Nandang's identity, half of the people in the hall seemed to agree with Yun Fan's words.
"Yun Fan! Don't forget your identity as a disciple of Haori Mountain!"
"That's why I remember! Without Shizu, the 'outsider', my Yun clan would have been finished long ago, and Haori Mountain would be a den of insects!"
Yun Zhenxian looked at Yun Fan. His face was covered in blood, his complexion was as pale as gold paper, and his breath was weak. However, his voice was sonorous and his tone was resolute.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yun Fan continued, "Grandmaster, given the current situation in Xuanwei, it's difficult for Haori Mountain and the Yun Clan to remain immune..."
These words really touched Yun Zhenxian's heart. When he heard about Xuanwei's current situation, he knew that Haori Mountain had a big problem - he was the only Zhenxian in the entire sect, and he was far inferior to the Cangming Dragon Palace.
If you want to show off the power of the Four Xuanwei Sects in the future, it will be a dream.
"What do you want to say?"
Yun Fan lowered his eyes and said softly, "Disciple, I don't believe in the Lu Clan, and I don't believe in the Demon Ancestor either."
“…”
Yun Zhenxian pursed his lips, with a storm surging in his heart.
Has Yunfan’s hatred towards the Lu clan reached such a level?
What he meant was that no matter who Shi Nandang was, it was better than choosing the Lu clan?
But when he looked at the other people in the hall, his eyes paused. Most of the gods fell into deep thought following Yun Fan's words, and a few of them even nodded.
That Shi Nandang who came out of nowhere actually won over the hearts of so many people without them noticing, and even had more power in his words than the Holy Ancestor?
He was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and looked at Yun Fan: "I understand what you said."
"Holy Ancestor."
Yun Zhenxian raised his hand and said, "I also know that you are sincere. Get up."
"Thank you, Holy Ancestor." Yun Fan's face was full of joy, and he stood up, "Holy Ancestor is wise!"
The atmosphere in the hall relaxed, and Yun Zhenxian's lips curled up slightly, and his expression became softer.
…
Under the golden summit of Haori Mountain, in the inverted Yuanzun Peak, the figure of Yun Zhenxian flashed out.
"Yun Zu!"
The Lu clan members stationed here were in chaos, staring at Yun Zhenxian outside the altar with terrified faces.
They originally thought that this place was the center of the formation, and that they would be safe and sound inside. However, they did not expect that Yun Zhenxian could come in so easily, even silently, without the formation reacting at all.
Yun Zhenxian ignored everyone else and only fixed his gaze on Master Shi Nandang's face, slowly lowering it in front of him.
"Yun... Yun Zu."
"Are you the boss here?"
"yes!"
Master Shi Nandang gritted his teeth and said.
He originally held a high status in the clan, but he was blind and accepted a bad disciple, so he had no chance to enter Jiuyaotian this time.
But after all, he had a high level of cultivation and pure blood, so he was able to be in charge of the altar, receive the great elder and others, and at the same time preserve the vitality of the Lu clan.
But unexpectedly, as soon as Yun Zu came back, he went straight into Yuanzun Peak. Now everything is over!
Master Shi Nandang's face was ashen, and he felt despair. Yun Zhenxian's words caught him off guard: "Let me ask you, when did you accept Shi Nandang as your disciple?"
"Shi...Shi Nandang? Why does Yun Zu want to know this?"
"Answer me when I ask!"
"My disciple was more than 11,000 years ago..."
Shi Nandang's master hurriedly said, "Shi Nandang was quite filial and respectful back then, but who would have thought that now..."
Yun Zhenxian nodded gently and continued, "In other words, Shi Nandang back then didn't have the same powerful strength as he does today, and he couldn't be almost invincible among his peers?"
"Of course this disciple has talent," Master Shi Nandang whispered. "If not for this, I wouldn't have thought highly of him back then. But to say he's unrivaled among his peers... I certainly didn't expect it."
"That person can rival the strength of ten Transformed Gods..."
“You couldn’t see it at all in the early years.”
Yun Zhenxian nodded slowly, and then listened to Master Shi Nandang say: "Actually, I have thought about this too. This disciple may have had some extraordinary adventures."
"An unexpected encounter?"
"It might even be when he went to the Hundred Immortals Alliance." Master Shi Nandang said with his eyes downcast, "Back then, when he went to the Hundred Immortals Alliance to help the Chongxuan Sect, he lost the Xianjian Sword and disappeared for a while."
"You mean..."
"Ancestor Yun, this person must have had some great opportunity to achieve what he has today..."
"idiot!"
Master Shi Nandang was stunned.
"Until now, you have been trying to provoke me to snatch the opportunity of Shi Nandang!"
"Disciple, disciple..."
Yun Zhenxian was so angry that he almost laughed: "Is Shi Nandang really Shi Nandang? As a master, you don't even have any doubts?"
Shi Nandang's master opened his mouth wide, his eyes wide open, and after a long while he realized, "It's not Shi Nandang?"
His expression changed from time to time, and suddenly he whispered, "Yes, this evil disciple's temperament has also changed. But at the beginning, he acted completely normal and knew everything about Haori Mountain and the Lu Clan, so I didn't think much of it!"
Seeing Yun Zhenxian's face become even uglier, Shi Nandang's master looked even more miserable: "I just thought I didn't know people well. This Shi Nandang is really scheming!"
"You are blind!"
"Not good!" Master Shi Nandang reacted immediately, "That thief has entered Jiuyao Heaven! He's after the Holy Ancestor's treasure!"
"Now you know! If you lose the Nine Lights Heavenly Treasure, I wonder how you can bear it."
"Yun Zu, what should we do?"
Yun Zhenxian looked at the remains of the original demon ancestor and asked, "Can the Nine Lights Heaven still be opened?"
"No, once the ceremony begins, we will no longer be able to control it. The Nine Lights Heaven can only be reopened at the end of the ceremony, with the cooperation of us and the Great Elder."
Yun Zhenxian shook his head and asked again, "Who went in?"
Shi Nandang reported to Master one by one.
"There are the White Lotus Saint Monk and the Golden-winged Dapeng, three Demon Ancestors." Yun Zhenxian felt a little relieved. "The stone is in there, so I don't think it can cause any trouble."
Master Shi Nandang let out a long sigh.
"But we have to be on guard! This person is scheming and must have something to rely on." Yun Zhenxian said coldly, "If he gets his hands on the Nine Lights Heavenly Treasure, we must not let him escape!"
"Yes!" Shi Nandang, the master, first agreed, then asked, "But how can we stop him from escaping?"
Yun Zhenxian suddenly stretched out his right hand, and the upside-down Yuan Zunfeng began to sway left and right like a pendulum clock. Everyone stumbled and looked around in panic.
A crimson light flew out from the mountainside and landed in Yun Zhenxian's palm.
"Sun-shooting Bow!"
Master Shi Nandang's eyes widened as he looked at the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow lying obediently in Yun Zhenxian's palm, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
This Sun-Shooting Divine Art is the core of the Golden Sun Burning Sky Formation. Their Lu clan has always regarded it as their biggest trump card, but they didn't expect that this Sun-Shooting Divine Bow seemed to have been refined by Yun Zhenxian a long time ago!
Yun Zhenxian glanced at him and sneered, "Why do you think the First Ancestor entrusted Haori Mountain to me?"
“…”
Shi Nandang opened his mouth and murmured, "Why..."
"My last name was Lu in my early years." Yun Zhenxian touched the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow and smiled. "I am also a direct descendant of the Lu clan. Later, after achieving the Dao Fruit, my branch established its own sect. Because of the characteristics of our cultivation method, we took the surname Yun."
"Yun Zu!"
Upon hearing this, Master Shi Nandang immediately became agitated and choked up, saying, "I thought, I thought that if Yun Zu came back, we wouldn't even be able to survive."
"Shut up!" Yun Zhenxian cursed, then said, "I'll allocate the supplies, and you'll arrange and set up the Golden Sun Burning Heaven Formation."
A look of doubt flashed across Master Shi Nandang's face.
"The situation in Jiuyaotian is unclear. This Golden Sun Burning Heaven Formation is a secret left by the First Ancestor. I will activate the formation and it will be enough to compete with the Golden Immortal!"
"Golden Immortal?"
Yun Zhenxian nodded, his voice cold: "The world only thinks that our Haori Mountain has declined, and even within the sect there are dissents... But as one of the four major sects, our Haori Mountain's foundation is beyond the imagination of others."
"Shi Nandang, Jiushan Sect, if they provoke Haori Mountain, they will only bring about their own destruction."
Master Shi Nandang was so happy that he trembled all over: "When Shi Nandang leaves Jiuyaotian, we will shoot him to death with one arrow! After we kill Shi Nandang, we will go and destroy Jiushan Sect!"
"Only one thing!" Yun Zhenxian said with a cold face: "Haori Mountain, I'm afraid there are spies from the Jiushan Sect!"
Below the altar, several figures' faces froze.
"Spy!"
Yun Zhenxian held the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow in his hand, his expression dark, "Many people in the Yun and Luo tribes have already turned their hearts to Shi Nandang."
"Even the Yun Clan...why doesn't Yun Zu just clean up the clan?"
"The situation in Jiuyaotian is unclear, so we can't let Shi Nandang become alert." Yun Zhenxian shook his head, and then said, "What's more, I'm afraid Shi Nandang has some connection with Jiushan Sect."
Shi Nandang's master suddenly understood: "Yes, he was in the Hundred Immortals Alliance during the time he disappeared!"
"I think if the Nine Mountain Sect is prepared, this formation will be difficult to complete!" Yun Zhenxian warned, "Don't spread this to anyone! Only the Lu Clan can know this."
Master Shi Nandang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Yun Zu, these are the most direct descendants of our Lu clan, and they are irreconcilable with Shi Nandang!"
Yun Zhenxian looked around at the Lu clan members under the altar, his eyes inadvertently swept over 'Lu Yan', and nodded slowly.
