Chapter 580: Hope for the best
The elders of the Feng family looked at each other in bewilderment.
The Seventh Elder asked those around him suspiciously, "Isn't that Qingxu's Mountain and River Scroll?"
The Eighth Elder had good eyesight and nodded, very sure, "It is Qingxu's Mountain and River Scroll. I haven't seen it for many years. I didn't expect that Sect Master Yu didn't use it when he came. Now it has been taken back in a hurry. It can be seen that something big has happened to Qingxu."
The Seventh Elder sighed, "Finally he left. These past few days, I was worried that Yu Wuchen would use the Patriarch's token to instruct us to do something else."
The Eighth Elder said to him, "You are narrow-minded. Yu Wuchen is not as dark-minded as Pei Tanyi. He won't do that."
The Seventh Elder admitted that he was narrow-minded. "But with the previous experience of Pei Tanyi, I am also afraid. After all, Pei Tanyi is no longer hiding his intentions. Kunlun Qingxu and Taiyi are already in opposition. It is said that Taiyi has subdued a number of small immortal sects and is going to attack Qingxu. Taiyi is not like Kunlun Qingxu who left no ancestors behind in order to suppress the demon clan and ghost world. Taiyi left behind several ancestors. If Yu Wuchen asks our Feng family to help him fight against Taiyi, I am afraid that we are no match for Taiyi's ancestors."
The Eighth Elder understood that his consideration was not unreasonable. "Now you know that they didn't even mention it and don't need us at all. You are too narrow-minded."
He sighed, "But have you forgotten that he didn't give us the token of the head of the family and took it away again?"
The Seventh Elder looked at him and said, "How could I have forgotten? I just didn't have the nerve to ask for it. After all, it was Yu Wuchen who saved us. We can stand up now thanks to him coming to the Feng family and cleaning up Feng Qi and her people. Since the head of the family has given the token to someone else, we have no right to take it back for him. From the look of him, he didn't intend to give it to us, so I didn't bother to mention it to him."
The Eighth Elder nodded, "You are very sensible. This is a great favor for saving my life and the clan."
He said, "If he returns to Qingxu, we will have to save him if he is in trouble. Even if we cannot save him, we cannot just stand by and watch. Otherwise, won't we bring disgrace upon ourselves as descendants of Lady Nuwa?"
"Forget it now. Our clan's reputation has been ruined because of Feng Qi." The Seventh Elder looked at the other elders who had been silent. "The most urgent thing is to send some people to the capital of the human world. Our Feng clan's responsibility is to protect the capital. In the past two years, Feng Qi has been doing evil in the human world, and we are trapped in our clan and can't do anything. Now that she is gone to stop us, we still have to go to the human world as soon as possible."
"As for the affairs of the Immortal Cultivation World, let's not get involved. The Demon Realm has issued a statement that the demon race and the ghost world are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Immortal Cultivation World. Naturally, they will not allow our Feng family to interfere, lest we anger the Demon Realm and send the demon army to attack us again. Whether Kunlun and Qingxu are good or bad is their own business. But the affairs of the human world are our responsibility, and we have to hurry."
The Eighth Elder was helpless, "Okay!"
Anyway, the Feng family is no longer as strong as before after Feng Qi came to power. Even if they want to help Yu Wuchen and put all their strength into it, they may not be able to defeat Pei Tanyi. They still have to protect the human world and cannot care about so many things.
The other elders also felt that what the Seventh Elder said made sense, and they all agreed to send a group of people to go to the human world to take a look.
At this time, they did not know that Yu Wuchen did not return to Qingxu, nor did they know that the Mountain and River Scroll was indeed here to pick him up, but it just gathered all the disciples of Kunlun Qingxu together. They secretly conspired to seek refuge with the Demon Lord in the Demon Realm.
If they knew, they would probably think that Yu Wuchen was crazy, and everyone in the Kunlun and Qingxu sects were crazy.
After Pei Tanyi returned to Taiyi, he was making intensive preparations. Naturally, he didn't know that all the people from Kunlun Qingxu had quietly run away. After all, Qingxu's mountain protection formation had been open all the time.
He sent a notice to all the small sects in the world of immortal cultivation, including the small sects that had been protected by Kunlun Qingxu. The meaning of the notice was to follow the will of heaven, Taiyi was destined to be the emperor, Kunlun and Qingxu brought about their own destruction, and if they turned to Taiyi, they would be aware of the current situation and follow the general trend.
To sum it up in one sentence, those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.
The small sects were all dumbfounded. It had only been a few days since Kunlun and Qingxu jointly issued a warning about Pei Tanyi's secret evil deeds, but Taiyi was already getting serious. It seemed that a catastrophe in the world of immortal cultivation was inevitable.
The small sects under the protection of Kunlun Qingxu hurriedly asked Kunlun and Qingxu what the rules were and what they should do. Kunlun was in chaos due to the counterattack of the demons and was unable to take care of itself, so naturally it could not give any suggestions or protection measures. Qingxu directly relayed Yu Wuchen's original words to them, asking them to run if they could, and surrender if they couldn't, and in short, they should take care of themselves.
The small sects were all dumbfounded. Some of them were embarrassed because they had given too expensive gifts to Yu Wuchen before, so they reluctantly sent him a message. Now this small group of people sent him a message directly, begging him, "Sect Master Yu, you can't just ignore us."
Yu Wuchen said shamelessly: "I have been in charge of you for so many years. Just calculate the amount of gifts you gave me. Is it enough for protection? Also, which sect among you has not borrowed spirit stones from Qingxu and not returned them? I can't even protect myself now. You should take care of yourselves! If you can't, just surrender."
The small sect shrank their necks and were scolded back. No matter how much they cried and begged, he simply ignored them.
Not only did they not get any rules, but they also got scolded. After everyone discussed it together, they all decided to give up and surrender to Taiyi!
As for character and moral integrity, even Master Yu and other masters of a great immortal sect don’t have them, so it’s useless for them to have them.
Therefore, these small sects that relied on Qingxu's protection, on the second day after Pei Tanyi sent out the notice, submitted a letter of surrender to Taiyi Sect Master together. Each and every one of them spoke earnestly, saying that Yu Wuchen was a villain, a small-minded person, who could not handle big things, and they had long been fed up with him. Now that Sect Master Pei had extended an olive branch to them, there was no reason for them not to accept it, and they would definitely follow Sect Master Pei's lead in the future.
Seeing how shameless the small sects relying on Kunlun were, the small sects relying on Qingxu were speechless for two days. Then, they all followed Qingxu's example and submitted letters of surrender.
The only exception was the Hehuan Sect. After much deliberation, Feng Sichen did not submit a letter of surrender, but he also did not confront the sect forcefully. Instead, he took all the people in the sect and ran away. As for where they went, no one knew where they were.
It can be seen that the Hehuan Sect has been able to survive from the ancient times to the present day because it has some skills and ways to preserve its life.
Pei Tanyi looked at the pile of manuscripts and said to Ye Xingci who was standing in front of him: "Xingci, look at this, what does this show? It shows that in front of strength, everything else is not worth mentioning."
Monthly ticket, huh?
