Chapter 287: Truce agreement between the two sides, closing the mountain for a thousand years, Lu Wu's soul is obtained
"What?"
"Yes... Ancient Ancestor..."
Many elders of the Yingzhao Dojo were all stunned, and almost doubted whether they had heard it wrongly, but seeing Zhou Yuan's cold expression, which showed a deep chill, they did not dare to ask more questions, and immediately took action to suppress Qi Qingxuan.
"Brother Zhou, is there any misunderstanding?"
Seeing this scene, Qi Qingxuan's face changed drastically, and he almost doubted whether he had heard it wrong. He had come out with joy and planned to welcome Shang Yuanji, but Zhou Yuan directly gave the order to capture them.
What happened? Could it be that Shang Yuanji and Zhou Yuan had a falling out?
Duke Wei, Shang Mingyu and others who followed Qi Qingxuan also changed their expressions immediately.
"Misunderstand?"
"The Wushang Demon God and Shang Yuanji teamed up to sacrifice me to the Great Demon God of the Demon Suppression Well. If I hadn't been alert and prepared and reacted quickly, I would have been buried in the Demon Suppression Well and become the food for the Great Demon God Guqi to recover."
"Haha, now those two guys have gotten themselves into trouble and are trapped in the Demon Suppression Well. I wonder who can save them."
Zhou Yuan's face was cold, and the sound that came out of his mouth was icy and chilling, giving people goose bumps on their backs.
“Damn it.”
"We have always said that the devil cannot be trusted. This former imperial master of the Shang Dynasty is extremely cunning. How could he be so kind as to help us?"
Upon hearing this, the elders of the Yingzhao Dojo, who had been confused just now, flew into a rage and shouted angrily.
"how so……"
Qi Qingxuan was completely dumbfounded. He never expected things to develop to this point.
"Third Master..."
The aura of the Eighth Realm Power surged from Duke Wei's body. He took a step forward and protected Qi Qingxuan behind him.
Shang Mingyu frowned, she didn't expect things to turn out like this. In the Yingzhao Dojo, even if they had great abilities, they couldn't escape.
She knew her own limitations and did not choose to resist. She simply gave up struggling and allowed several elders from the Yingzhao Dojo to suppress her.
The result was indeed not surprising. Although Qi Qingxuan had the help of hundreds of overseas sects in Jiuzhou, there were not many strong people around him.
In addition to Duke Wei, there were two other great men with the eighth level of cultivation who were able to provide assistance.
Faced with the joint siege and suppression of the elders of Yingzhao Dojo, he was defeated in a moment, coughing up blood and flying everywhere.
Qi Qingxuan's own cultivation was not high. Even though he had received several treasures from the Demon God Wushang, he was powerless to resist this situation.
Soon, the several people’s cultivation was sealed and they were imprisoned by the elders of Yingzhao Dojo.
Although Qi Qingxuan was extremely angry, he couldn't change anything at this time.
"Shang Yuanji and the Wushang Demon God have tricked me into death. I will definitely avenge them."
"I have heard that Luwu Mountain intends to send Luwu's spirit to seek peace. Is this true or false?"
After detaining Qi Qingxuan and others, Zhou Yuan asked with a gloomy expression.
"Reporting to the ancient ancestor, this is true. The leader of Luwu Mountain has personally written a letter seeking peace, and will bring Luwu's soul to the agreed location soon." An elder of the Yingzhao Taoist temple replied.
After all, Luwu's soul is of vital importance, so the leader of Luwu Mountain naturally cannot send it in person. After both parties have reached an agreement, they will go to the agreed place to take the oath of heaven together.
"Okay, that's great."
"After absorbing Lu Wu's soul, I will seek revenge on Shang Yuanji and the Wushang Demon God."
Hearing this, Zhou Yuan's eyes flashed.
As Luwushan submitted a letter of truce to Yingzhao Dojo, the tense situation between Yingzhao Star Domain and Kaiming Star Domain was relatively eased, and the wars in many territories began to subside.
Luwu Mountain also immediately recalled many elders and disciples who had been sent to the front line to prepare for the subsequent closure of the mountain.
The news of the truce between Luwu Mountain and Yingzhao Dojo spread everywhere in a very short time. There were all kinds of explanations. Some said that Luwu Mountain had no choice but to do so. Others said that the top leaders of Luwu Mountain had already secretly surrendered, and now all the people in Luwu Mountain were from Yingzhao Dojo...
Luwushan did not choose to seek help from the Xiandao League, but eventually asked Yingzhao Dojo for a truce and peace, which also surprised many people.
After all, many people believed that Luwu Mountain would eventually be unable to hold on and would definitely seek help from the Immortal Dao Alliance, but the truth is this...
For this reason, some cultivators who knew the inside story speculated that there might have been a conflict between Luwu Mountain and the Immortal Dao Alliance, otherwise this would not have happened.
In a sense, by doing this, Lu Wushan completely offended the Xiandao League.
Afterwards, the location agreed upon by Luwu Mountain and Yingzhao Dojo to sign a truce agreement attracted attention from all parties.
That is a chaotic star field bordering the Yingzhao Dojo and the Kaiming Star Field, in which there is an ancient life star called Luanshen Star.
There are many rumors about this ancient life planet. Once upon a time, it was the site of many powerful Taoist sects with long-standing inheritance. Even now, there are still many dilapidated ruins, various broken walls, ancient mountain temples, shrouded in mist, telling of its former glory.
In ancient times, there was a very famous Taoist sect called Luanshen Palace.
This Taoist tradition has only one successor in each generation. Every time this successor is born, he will take it as his responsibility to bring chaos to the world, so some people also call the Palace of Chaos God the Palace of Chaos Demon.
In the history of Luanshen Palace, there was a person named Luanshenzi.
This man had killed many people on this star. All the descendants of geniuses who besieged him were killed. He made a great name for himself in one battle. Later, he used this star to set traps and killed strong men from various Taoist forces who came to clear out and kill him. He shocked all parties and since then he has had no rivals in the world.
This ancient star of life also became the place where he practiced seclusion in his later years. Later monks would come to this ancient star of life from time to time to pay their respects or to seek his inherited treasures.
Over time, it was called the Chaos Star.
Time passed quickly, and the agreed date for negotiation between Luwu Mountain and Yingzhao Dojo had arrived.
There were streams of light outside the star field, and many ancient warships from the Chaos Star landed, accompanied by waves of powerful aura.
Taoist tribes from all over the world have sent masters to witness this scene in person, otherwise they will not be able to feel at ease.
The leader of Luwu Mountain had already come with many elders and was waiting quietly in a green bamboo forest. The forest was shrouded in mist, and in the distance there were some collapsed ruins of ancient shrines and temples, all of which were broken walls and dim shadows.
Although it was defeated in this battle with Yingzhao Dojo, compared with other Taoist forces, Luwu Mountain is still the absolute overlord, with profound foundation and a large number of strong people.
There were seven powerful eighth-level warriors who showed up today. Among them, an old man with a strange face and wearing a washed-out gray robe was particularly eye-catching. He had gray hair, sunken eyes, prominent cheekbones, and an aura of decay and death.
However, even the leader of Luwu Mountain seemed very polite and respectful in front of him, which shows that he is of a very high seniority.
Of course, compared to the other powerful beings in the Eight Realms, the aura of this gray-robed old man is also very powerful, vast and deep. Standing there quietly, he is like a deep abyss of the Great Dao that is difficult to fathom.
The powerful men sent by various Taoist forces were secretly nervous and guessed his identity and origin.
This person is definitely a person who has survived seven or eight heavenly tribulations and is even close to the level of a saint.
As one of the overlords of the four star fields, Luwu Mountain definitely has such a foundation.
Soon, the ancient warship rumbled in the sky above the Chaos God Star, and the people from the Yingzhao Taoist Temple also arrived. Many cultivators and creatures around them stepped aside to make way for the ancient warship to land.
The attitude of Yingzhao Dojo was very strong. Just a few streams of light fell and rushed towards the green bamboo forest.
Leading the group was an elder with the eighth level of cultivation, and behind him were several young-looking disciples.
The cultivators from all parties who saw this scene were secretly alarmed. Even the current leader of the Yingzhao Taoist Temple did not show up, but only sent an elder to sign the agreement.
It seems that Luwushan is no longer on the same level as Yingzhao Dojo in the eyes of the team, and is looked down upon.
This also made everyone in Luwu Mountain look a little unhappy.
However, the old man in the grey robe waved his hand, signalling the others to stay calm, and then said calmly, "According to the requirements of the Yingzhao Dojo, I have sent the things to you from Luwu Mountain. Because this incident has affected countless star regions and caused great suffering to the people, I have an unshirkable responsibility. From today on, I will close the mountain for a thousand years and will no longer interfere in the affairs of the outside world."
"After the Star Domain is opened, whoever takes charge will have nothing to do with us."
As soon as he said this, it immediately caused a sensation and excitement here.
Everyone was shocked. Was he planning to completely abandon the Kaiming Star Domain and never come out again? The price Luwushan paid was quite high.
However, many people also think that this is expected. Compared with being destroyed, seclusion from the world and closing the mountain is already a good result.
The elder sent by Yingzhao Dojo was a little surprised when he heard what was said.
I thought Lu Wushan would bargain, but this time he was so decisive and straightforward that he was willing to give up all his dignity, resources, and background for a truce.
"Haha, it seems that Lu Wushan already knows about the resurrection of our ancient ancestor. He knows that going against us will lead to his own death."
"However, this is also good. It saves a lot of effort."
The Yingzhao Dojo had originally planned to eradicate the Luwu Mountain completely and kill everyone.
After all, things have come to this point, and there is no guarantee that Luwu Mountain will rise again in the future, leaving behind only trouble.
But Lu Wushan's tactfulness gave the situation a lot of room for easing.
"Luwushan has finally done one thing right. According to the agreement, from today onwards, Yingzhao Dojo will naturally no longer start a war or attack Kaiming Star Territory..."
"No, it should be that from today onwards, there will no longer be any Kaiming Star Region in this world, and all of these territories and territories will belong to our Yingzhao Dojo."
The elder of Yingzhao Dojo laughed heartily, full of joy and pride.
Everyone in Luwu Mountain looked dejected and depressed.
The expressions of many monks and creatures around also became complicated, but more people still breathed a sigh of relief.
In their view, it doesn't matter who is in charge of the Kaiming Star Domain. As long as it doesn't implicate and affect them, that is the best result.
The gray-robed old man from Luwu Mountain had a dull and expressionless face and nodded.
Afterwards, in front of everyone here, both sides swore by the future fortune of Luwu Mountain and Yingzhao Dojo respectively, and made an oath to heaven, and a truce agreement was reached.
Two golden lights shot up into the sky from the darkness, and then dissipated into the void. It seemed that the shadows of the gods Luwu and Yingzhao were condensing and manifesting there, confirming today's oath.
The grey-robed old man didn't say anything more and directly handed over a large, rustic box with golden light and intersecting textures. The fluctuations of time and space were pervasive in it, and it was obvious that there was another world inside, and it was definitely not as big as it looked.
He was not afraid of the crowd trying to snatch it away, so he opened it right in front of him and took out a crystalline substance that was surging with the aura of Tao and glowing with amber. It was as big as a human head, and was shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see clearly, as if it was surrounded by chaotic fog.
But no matter who it was, the moment they saw this thing, they felt a shock in their hearts, as if they were being stared at by some terrible will, and they broke out in cold sweats.
In a trance, he saw a ferocious beast standing proudly between heaven and earth, with a human face, a tiger body, tiger claws and nine tails, fighting an equally terrifying nine-headed dragon. The fight was so fierce that the sky was dark, the sun and the moon lost their luster, and the universe was torn apart.
"Luwu's soul..."
Many people were horrified and resisted the urge to kneel down and kowtow to the ground, staring at the object.
There were also some brave people who did not hide their eagerness in their eyes, but they were all noticed by the old man in gray robe.
He just glanced around a few times, and suddenly there was a puffing sound in the void, and then blood slowly seeped down, and the hidden aura in it instantly dissipated.
"Half Saint..."
Many people exclaimed, with even deeper fear in their eyes. A lean camel is still bigger than a horse. The foundation of Luwu Mountain is still terrifying, and there is such a person in charge.
"I am an unworthy descendant and I am ashamed of my ancestors..."
After seeing this crystalline substance emitting rays of light, everyone in Luwu Mountain burst into tears, knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.
The gray-robed old man also sighed lightly, and then handed it to the elder of the Yingzhao Dojo in front of him.
He is not a person of this era. The reason why he broke through the source of Taoism and came out into the world was just to safely hand over the soul of the Holy Ancestor to the hands of Yingzhao Dojo.
Until this moment, he was still worried that the young leader of the Xiandao League would show up and snatch it away.
Therefore, under his robe, there is still the last powerful weapon of Luwu Mountain, a holy weapon handed down from generation to generation, which contains the power of the gods and can be revived at any time, unleashing power comparable to that of a saint.
By then, he will be in control, and even if Jiang Lan appears, he will be able to fight back.
Unfortunately, Jiang Lan did not show up until the truce agreement ended.
His birth seemed to have become a joke. As a person of background, his life breath had been fading away since the moment he was born.
Unless there is a saint who is willing to use his own life source to prolong his life, otherwise he will only live for a few days, like a floating being, and disappear in an instant.
"This is Lu Wu's soul..."
The elder of the Yingzhao Dojo was holding the crystalline substance in his hand. His whole body was shaking and he couldn't speak coherently.
As a creature from the Four Directions Star Region, the legendary Luwu's soul that remains in the world is now in his hands. No matter who it is, it is impossible to treat it with a calm heart.
The gray-robed old man looked at him, as if he had thought of something, and said calmly, "The Yingzhao Dojo is some distance away from here. I will personally escort you to return this item safely."
"Otherwise, there will inevitably be twists and turns along the way."
As soon as he said this, many people felt that it was meaningful. In the Yingzhao star field, who would dare to snatch the things escorted by the Yingzhao Dojo?
Isn't this just because he is afraid that the Immortal Dao League will intercept and rob him? The elder of Yingzhao Dojo had obviously been entrusted and instructed, and said nonchalantly, "The young leader of the Immortal Dao League has just left the Mantuo Star Region. It will take at least three days to reach Yingzhao Dojo. This period of time is enough."
A strange color flashed in the gray-robed old man's eyes, then he raised his head to look at the ancient warship still hanging outside the star field, and guessed something.
"It seems that the person who needs the Holy Ancestor's soul is here."
He nodded, and then without further ado, he waved his sleeves, and a gust of wind blew up. A golden avenue paved with fragments of the Dao stretched out all the way. He led the people of Luwu Mountain away without looking back.
The elder from the Yingzhao Taoist temple did not dare to delay, and immediately took Lu Wu's soul, transformed into a stream of light, and flew straight into the ancient warship.
During this period, strong men from the Yingzhao Taoist temple were patrolling and guarding the surroundings. If any cultivator looked at them for a second or showed any eager intention, they would be killed on the spot. Their attitude was very strong and it was obvious that they would not allow anyone to disturb them.
At this moment, on top of the ancient warship, in a magnificently renovated palace, Zhou Yuan was sitting cross-legged with an empty and wooden expression. From time to time, a faint blood-colored mist flashed across his body, and then was absorbed into his body through his seven orifices.
Afterwards, his gaze gradually became somewhat lively, but it still seemed very indifferent, as if it was heartless and without any emotional fluctuations.
"Report to Gu Zu, Lu Wu's soul has been brought back."
At this time, a slightly excited voice was heard outside the hall. A group of influential figures and elders from the Yingzhao Dojo were already waiting there.
When Zhou Yuan heard this, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and then he stood up and walked out of the hall, saying, "Let's go back to the dojo first."
Soon, he came outside the hall.
I saw an elder holding his hands high with excitement, holding a misty crystalline substance the size of a human head. A vast and powerful ancient will seemed to be sleeping in it, sacred and grand. Just a wisp of wave that escaped from it made people feel endless palpitations and depression.
"Luwu's soul..."
Zhou Yuan stared at the object, with traces of blood light lingering in the depths of his eyes, as if constructing some kind of talisman light.
