At the same time, cheers and applause rang out in front of the Qingyun Sect's gate...
Whether it was running laps or kneeling and barking like a dog, it was an unimaginable humiliation for Xiang Taiyan and the three martial gods. After doing all this in front of everyone, they announced their seclusion and vowed never to contact anyone again…
This will definitely become a source of inner demons for the four of them, but that no longer matters. From the moment they accepted their punishment, they were no longer even considered enemies…
After all, to become a whetstone, one must be able to withstand the sharpness of a blade; they were already utterly vulnerable in front of Tuoba San…
Only the forces behind them can now pose a threat to Tuoba San…
In the secret room of the sect master!
Xiang Daoren and the Murong family head sat facing each other, their gazes heavy, both revealing the hatred and murderous intent in each other's hearts...
"Patriarch Murong, what do you think of Tuoba San?"
Finally, it was Master Xiang who broke the awkward silence first. They were there to discuss something, and the awkwardness couldn't continue...
But the one who speaks first is the one who shows weakness...
Neither of them wanted to be the first to speak, so they remained in this stalemate ever since they returned…
"Sect Master, are you sure that what he's holding is the Human Emperor's Sword?"
Instead of answering directly, the head of the Murong family voiced his inner doubts…
"If it weren't for the Emperor's Sword, how could he have entered the palace so easily? We went through countless hardships to find a fragment containing the aura of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, hoping to use this treasure to enter the palace and find the secret of the key. Unexpectedly, Tuoba San ruined it, and he even gained the Emperor's Sword's approval, which means he is inextricably linked to the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden..."
Based on his own conjecture, Xiang Daoren offered his analysis…
This also made the head of the Murong family fall into deep thought, analyzing how much of the information in those words was true...
After what happened before, the trust between the two has completely disappeared...
Whether it's Xiang Taiyan or the three Martial Gods, neither side can let go of the grudge...
"What happened back then..."
Before the Murong family head could continue, Daoist Xiang quickly put his index finger to his lips, signaling him to be quiet…
"Sect Master, aren't you being a little too cautious? With the isolation here, even Qingyunzi wouldn't be able to find out anything. What are you afraid of?"
The head of the Murong family said with a hint of sarcasm, feeling that Daoist Xiang was far too cowardly…
Xiang Daoren was also exhausted, feeling that with such a terrible teammate, he was bound to be dragged down sooner or later...
However, he still pointed to the sky, and only then did the Murong family head realize what was happening…
"Sect Master, but this key is crucial to our path to ascension. When Ling Feng died, the key disappeared. Our only hope is the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden. We have been searching for many years without any clues..."
Now that the Emperor's Sword has suddenly appeared in the world, do you think Tuoba San might be a successor of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden? Otherwise, why would the Emperor's Sword appear in a man's hands?
If outsiders heard what the Murong family head said, they would be utterly shocked. They never imagined that Daoist Xiang's position as sect leader had actually been seized...
"I've always suspected that Ling Feng isn't dead..."
Master Xiang voiced his doubts, but the matter was entirely fabricated and hard to believe, yet the feeling was undeniably real…
"That can't be right, who can block its senses..."
The head of the Murong family pointed upwards, though his tone carried a hint of uncertainty…
"What if it was Key who saved Ling Feng? Neither of us has ever seen Key's true form, and we don't know what he looks like or what his abilities are..."
Upon hearing Xiang Daoren's words, the Murong family head's expression finally changed...
Because he knew this was highly likely, the only thing that could block the perception of the Heavenly Dao was probably that unborn key, since it came from the Upper Realm…
"If Ling Feng is not dead, then why hasn't he returned after all these years?"
The head of the Murong family asked with some concern, "If what happened back then were exposed, they would definitely be despised by the whole world..."
In the past, with the power of the Qingyun Sect, even if the world was dissatisfied, it wouldn't have been a big problem...
But the situation is different now. The Qingyun Sect has gained a powerful figure like Qingyunzi. If their plot to murder the former sect leader is exposed, it will be a catastrophic disaster for them.
"Perhaps it's not that he didn't want to come back, but that he couldn't, which is why you and I have been completely unaware all these years, and even it hasn't noticed..."
Taoist Xiang also pointed to the sky, stating his guess, and then he continued...
“In this situation, once the key appears, our secret will no longer be able to be hidden. Qingyunzi has already become suspicious of me today, so we must be even more careful from now on…”
Xiang Daoren was filled with emotion. Ever since Qing Yunzi returned to the sect, he had a premonition that a conflict between the two sides was inevitable...
He just didn't expect it to happen so quickly, and it was all because of my loose tongue that Qingyunzi discovered the truth. Now he can't wait to get rid of me...
"Sect Master, Tuoba San now wields the Human Emperor Sword. If we want to find the whereabouts of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, we must win her over. However, we cannot swallow this insult from him and his son..."
The head of the Murong family spoke with icy eyes, his killing intent impossible to conceal...
"That's right, this matter can't just be left like this, but we can't intervene any further, otherwise there really won't be any room for maneuver..."
Master Xiang said with a profound look in his eyes…
"Then what should we do..."
The head of the Murong family looked at Xiang Daoren with a puzzled expression, wondering what he meant by those words…
Xiang Daoren didn't speak, but pointed to the map hanging on the wall, and the location he pointed to was none other than the Primordial Demon Mountain...
The head of the Murong family was taken aback for a moment, then realized what Daoist Xiang was trying to say…
"Sect Master, I'll make the arrangements right away..."
The head of the Murong family walked straight out; he couldn't wait a moment longer to restore the Murong family's prestige...
Since we can't break ties with Tuoba San for the time being, let someone else break ties with him...
Taishi Monster Mountain!
The changes in the Burial Realm have a significant impact on powerful forces like the Primordial Demon Mountain. Few demonic beasts can be seen within the sect anymore; almost all of them have left…
The sect leader is a serpent named Mad Dragon, who possesses the bloodline of a black dragon, making him extremely powerful and capable of anything, from ascending to the heavens to descending to the earth…
Kuanglong suddenly received a message from the Qingyun Sect, and when he saw its contents, his face turned extremely pale…
"Six wings..."
With a roar, the Mad Dragon saw a silver centipede soar into the sky, its back covered in six wings. In a flash, it arrived before the Mad Dragon, transforming into a silver-robed Taoist priest…
"Sect Master, what do you need me for?"
The six-winged silver dragon respectfully bowed to the mad dragon and asked…
"That old scoundrel Murong just sent me a message saying that Centipede has been taken as a mount by a martial god. This is utterly disregarding my Tai Shi Demon Mountain..."
