Yang Cheng's words were very impolite, causing the other Yanshan Sect disciples to glare angrily.
But Lu Yuan wasn't angry or furious; he just let out a long sigh.
Yang Cheng was right; Lu Yuan was indeed afraid.
His cultivation level was already considered top-tier in the Yan Kingdom. Coupled with his advanced age, he had long lost his ambition and instead focused on maintaining the status quo and training disciples.
That's why they chose to take Wen Baifei as their last disciple after seeing him.
Now, provoked by Yang Cheng, Lu Yuan seemed to have been struck by a thunderbolt and realized what was happening.
When did I become so timid and hesitant? When did I become so indecisive?
Wen Baifei was his last disciple, and the other disciples were all watching from here.
It's easy for me to choose to back down; my disciples will listen to me. But what happens after that?
If one's own disciples see them so timid and lose all their spirit, what will become of the Yanshan Sect?
At Lu Yuan's age, Yang Cheng doesn't need to say much; as long as the pros and cons are explained to Lu Yuan, he will naturally understand.
Letting out a long breath, Lu Yuan said in a deep voice, "Mr. Yang is right. The older you get in the martial arts world, the less courageous you become. I have long since lost my former sharpness."
This time, I will not hesitate any longer in this life-or-death battle with Pudu Temple.
In the entire cultivation world of Yan Kingdom, I am considered to have some influence.
"If you need it, Mr. Yang, I will do my best to call upon other cultivation sects to lend a hand."
Lu Yuan either doesn't make a decision, or once he does, he will definitely go all out.
Yang Cheng said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, then I'll trouble Sect Leader Lu to call upon all the immortal cultivation sects you can mobilize to gather at the Yanshan Sect, return Jingkong's head to the Pudu Temple's branch temple on the Huai River, provoke them, and lure them here."
The fact that the Yanshan Sect made a move already indicated that Yang Cheng was prepared to fight with all his might, so there was no need to hide the news of Garuda's death like he did in the Youdu Mountains.
Lu Yuan nodded and said, "Mr. Yang, rest assured, we will have news within a day."
The reason why Pudu Temple targeted the Yanshan Sect in the past was because of the Yanshan Sect's influence in the entire cultivation community of Yan Kingdom.
Because the Yanshan Sect was once the leader of the entire Yan Kingdom's cultivation world, even though the Yanshan Sect's prestige has declined now, everyone in the Yan Kingdom's cultivation world might have received favors from the Yanshan Sect's founder, so they would still give him face.
Therefore, as long as Pudu Temple completely subdues the Yanshan Sect, no one in the entire Yan Kingdom's cultivation world will dare to offend Pudu Temple in the future.
Now that Lu Yuan has decided to deal with Pudu Temple, at least most of the other sects, if not all of them, will respond to the Yanshan Sect. This is the source of Lu Yuan's confidence.
"However, Mr. Yang, if we send Jingkong's head back now, will Pudu Temple immediately notify Monk Cihang to come over?"
"Once Monk Cihang arrives, we'll be facing a full-scale war with Pudu Temple. Wouldn't one day be a bit too rushed?"
Wen Baifei, who was standing to the side, suddenly asked.
Yang Cheng said with a half-smile, "If it were someone else, they might be more cautious. They would notify the Pudu Temple headquarters first, and then, like a lion hunting a rabbit, they would go all out to destroy the Yanshan Sect."
But I recognize the one at the Huaishui branch temple; given his personality, he would never do such a thing.
Today, Da Zizai Tiancai is the person in charge of Huaishui Temple.
Based on Yang Cheng's understanding of Da Zizaitian, this person was arrogant, easily angered, and had a high opinion of himself. After learning that his men had been killed, he would absolutely not ask for help and would take matters into his own hands.
Once the Yanshan Sect started their operation, a day later, the Huaishui branch of Pudu Temple also immediately received Jingkong's head.
A monk, his face filled with grief and indignation, held up Jingkong's head before the Great Free Heaven and said bitterly, "Your Excellency, Senior Brother Jingkong, along with the other fellow disciples who went to the Yanshan Sect to demand answers, were all killed by the people of the Yanshan Sect. Their heads were pinned to the gate of the branch temple with flying swords, and a piece of paper was also attached."
There was only one sentence written on it: If you want war, then let's fight!
That old scoundrel Lu Yuan has gone too far!
The Great Free Heaven looked at the head of the person in the sky, and a hint of anger appeared on his face.
Jingkong knew that Lu Yuan was being coerced by the Yanshan Sect, and he had given his permission to do so.
It was just a declining immortal cultivation sect, and the Great Free Heaven didn't really take it seriously, so it didn't even bother to go there in person.
Who would have thought that guy would actually dare to kill someone? He simply doesn't take me seriously!
The Great Free Heaven said in a deep voice, "Immediately gather all the disciples from the branch temples and come with me to raze the Yanshan Sect to the ground!"
In the eyes of the Great Free Heaven, crushing a native immortal cultivation sect was just a trivial matter, not worth reporting to his senior brother.
My senior brother has to keep an eye on Monk Cihang and is also scheming about the series of events that will occur after he completely controls the Yan Kingdom and engages in power struggles with the Heavenly Palace and the Divine Court. He has no time to deal with such trivial matters.
If he needs his senior brother to make decisions for everything, then he's truly useless.
A group of over three hundred people marched towards the Yanshan Sect and arrived at its gates.
The Great Free Heaven formed a mudra with his hands, and the surrounding Buddha light gathered and bloomed. Almost instantly, the mudra expanded to an extremely terrifying degree, like the blazing sun.
As the Buddha seal crashed down, the entire Yanshan Sect erupted in a deafening roar. The array's radiance surged forth, but shattered instantly, causing the earth to tremble as if a dragon had turned over.
The protective array of the Yanshan Sect couldn't even withstand a single blow from the Great Free Heaven.
Lu Yuan roared and drew two magic swords.
Heaven and earth, yin and yang, the universe is boundless!
