Chapter 448: Prophecy Comes True

January 15th, the summit of Jinxia Peak.

Yun Taihao, dressed in a white robe, sat in the pavilion. There were some wine and food on the table. The fierce cold wind was blocked outside by the magic circle, and the pavilion was as warm as spring.

Nan Tianshou stood aside and poured wine for Yun Taihao. He was already at the third level of foundation building and was about to reach the middle level of foundation building. He was still respectful in front of his teacher.

This was not a pretense on his part, he was just in awe of the teacher and it would have been uncomfortable for him to sit down. It was easier for him to stand and serve the teacher wine.

This year, the attacks of the demon cultivators have become more fierce. Three markets have been lost ahead, and the demon cultivator army is not far from Lianyun City. Yun Taihao is also exhausted this year. His temples are already gray, and wrinkles have appeared at the corners of his eyes. He looks much older.

Seeing the teacher like this, Nan Tianshou felt a little uncomfortable.

He had fought in many battles this year, but as a foundation-building cultivator, he was of little use in a battle of this scale.

Nan Tianshou also felt that Lianyun City would not be able to hold out for long, and that the enemy would most likely attack in the spring. He sighed inwardly and wanted to discuss a retreat with his teacher, but he was a little afraid.

The wine was strong, and Yun Taihao exhaled lightly. He glanced at Nan Tianshou and said with a smile, "You seem to be hesitant to speak. If you have something to say, just say it."

Yun Taihao accepted Nan Tianshou as his disciple in order to please Gao Xian and get closer to him. But he soon discovered that Nan Tianshou was honest, hardworking, and talented. He was very different from his father, the cunning old man Nan Pingsong.

Gradually, he began to like this disciple, and in recent years he has trusted him more and more, even considering Nan Tianshou as his successor.

The descendants of the Yun family are really disappointing. They have poor cultivation and like to play tricks. But they don't understand a simple truth: no matter how sophisticated the tricks are, they are not as useful as cultivation.

Being good at intrigue is indeed a skill, but it is not something that can be displayed on the stage and one cannot decide the overall situation.

Yun Taihao felt that if Lianyun Sect wanted to continue, it could only rely on Nan Tianshou. He lacked a bit of cunning, but was very calm and steady, and had a natural cautious nature, making him very suitable to be the Sect Master.

Yun Taihao would not tell Nan Tianshou about these things. First, he had not thought it through completely, and second, Lianyun Sect was in turmoil at the moment, so it would not make much sense to tell him these things.

Nan Tianshou knew that his teacher didn't like to keep things secret, so he hesitated and said, "Teacher, at this point, I don't think Lianyun City can be saved. For the sake of the sect's inheritance, we should also prepare a way out."

Yun Taihao laughed: "So this is what you were thinking."

Nan Tianshou felt a little uneasy. This topic was very dangerous. Although he and his teacher were close, it was not appropriate to talk about it. But the situation was so dangerous at the moment. If he didn't make plans early, it would be too late when the enemy arrived at the city.

"You are really simple-minded. You have already found a way out. Why should I worry about it..."

Yun Taihao had a meaningful smile on his face. When he talked about this, he thought of Gao Xian. This kid was really cunning. He knew that Lianyun Sect would not be able to survive long ago, so he tried his best to get in touch with Yun Qingxuan.

In just a few decades, Gao Xian had already become very successful, becoming the number one golden elixir in the Qingyun Sect and even famous in Wanfeng County.

Without mentioning Gao Xian's cultivation, just his vision and means are really amazing. Even if his cultivation is not very good, he can still do well wherever he goes.

As for Gao Xian's cultivation talent, people outside said that Gao Xian had obtained an ancient artifact, which was obviously nonsense. However, it was very likely that Gao Xian had obtained an ancient divine elixir.

Otherwise, why did he act like a loser for the first twenty years and rise so rapidly in just a few years? Even a fool would know that there was something wrong.

Yun Taihao no longer cared about these things. If Gao Xian was still in his hands, he would be willing to study him. Now that Gao Xian had grown to the point where he had to look up to him, it was meaningless to think about these things.

Qingyun Sect's Yuanying Zhenjun Yun Zai Tian and other Yuanying Zhenjuns did not do anything to Gao Xian, which proved that Gao Xian's talent was inalienable.

He was thinking more about the relationship between his apprentice and Gao Xian. With his apprentice's honest appearance, Gao Xian would at least not despise him too much. The smarter a person is, the more he likes honest and reliable people. Besides, with Zhu Qiniang around, there would be a place for Nan Tianshou to stay.

"If Lianyun City is in trouble, you can go to Qingyun Sect to find your Seventh Aunt and your Uncle Gao."

Yun Taihao said: "They are both very far-sighted. Even if Qingyun Sect is destroyed, they can still take care of you."

Nan Tianshou blushed slightly, and he hurriedly explained: "Teacher, that's not what I meant."

"I know what you mean."

Yun Taihao stood up and walked outside the pavilion. He saw that the sun was half hidden under the mountain, and the sky was filled with red clouds.

The Jinxia Peak is under the brilliant red light, and the golden light reveals a bright red, the same color as the sunset.

In the sunset glow, smoke from cooking fires was already rising in Lianyun City, and cars and horses could be seen flowing along the streets. Today was the Lantern Festival, and many streets were already lit up with lanterns, and some people were setting off fireworks.

Outside Lianyun City, there is snow-capped mountains and a cold and solemn look, which is out of tune with the bustling atmosphere of Lianyun City.

Yun Taihao couldn't help but sigh softly. He pointed in the direction of the setting sun and said, "Tianshou, Lianyun City is very beautiful under the setting sun. It is my favorite scenery."

Nan Tianshou was a little confused. He didn't quite understand what Yun Taihao was saying.

“Even if I have seen this kind of scenery a hundred thousand times, I will never get tired of it.”

Yun Taihao said slowly: "This is the place where I was born and raised. This is the home I have fought for hundreds of years. This is also my home. I will never leave here. Even if I turn into a dead soul, I will only wander on this land..."

Nan Tianshou had always thought that the teacher was a cold and heartless person, but he didn't expect that the teacher had such an emotional side. He didn't know what to say and could only remain silent.

"You are different. You are still young and there are many possibilities in your future."

Yun Taihao patted Nan Tianshou's shoulder vigorously and said, "Tianshou, if that day really comes, live well and pass on the Lianyun Sect."

"Master, it's too early to talk about this now."

Nan Tianshou felt that these words were not very auspicious. It would be better to say something happy during the holidays.

Yun Taihao was about to speak when he suddenly felt something. His face changed and he quickly turned to look to the east.

A black spot appeared in the eastern sky, inconspicuous in the twilight.

Yun Taihao saw something was wrong, and he pointed his finger at a water mirror that appeared out of thin air. The water mirror blessed by the Lianyun Sect's mountain protection formation could easily see hundreds of miles away.

The light and shadow on the water mirror flickered, and soon locked onto a black spot in the distant sky. It was hundreds of flying ships. Most of these flying ships were relatively old, filled with ragged cultivators, and some were filled with hideous and strange-looking monsters.

Hundreds of flying ships carried at least hundreds of thousands of demon cultivators and monsters.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Some of the flying ships were very large, and they were equipped with huge cannon-like magical instruments. They looked very powerful.

Yun Taihao's expression was extremely solemn, "Yunmu flying ship, Hunyuan mountain-breaking cannon!"

He couldn't tell how many Jindans there were on the other side. With such a huge momentum, it wouldn't be surprising if there were Yuanying Zhenjun leading the team. This was not a fight between sects, but a war between the demon cultivators and the monster race against the human race.

According to historical records, such wars often last for hundreds or even thousands of years, with both sides killing each other until blood flows like a river and the sky collapses and the earth cracks, until both sides are completely wiped out, and only then will the war be withdrawn.

Because of this, Yun Taihao was optimistic and thought he could hold out for a few decades. He didn't expect that the other party couldn't wait any longer.

Seeing the momentum and scale of the enemy's flying ship, there were only four words in his mind: there is no escape.

Yun Taihao couldn't help but sigh. He was just talking about his funeral, and now he's been doing it! What a prophecy! Nan Tianshou was already stunned. Even if he didn't recognize the huge flying ship, he could tell that the other party was coming with great force. His heart was cold, and he felt his blood curdling, and his mind was blank.

"Stop being in a daze."

Yun Taihao gently patted Nan Tianshou's face, and he took out a black armband and put it on Nan Tianshou. "This is the Buddhist treasure, the Small Xumi Armband. Lianyun Sect's "Nine Methods of Xuanxiao" is inside. There are also some magic tools, elixirs, and spiritual stones. To open the armband, you need to recite the spell silently..."

Yun Taihao was very calm at this moment. He had already made arrangements for this day. Nan Tianshou happened to be right beside him, so he could just hand everything over to him.

He divided the Lianyun Sect inheritance into three parts, one of which had long been brought to Wanfeng City by Yun Feiying, and he also left another part to the Yun family's children.

The one given to Nan Tianshou was the most generous, mainly because Nan Tianshou had a great supporter. Yun Taihao was familiar with the art of fortune-telling, and he felt that Nan Tianshou was blessed. Even if he could not develop the Lianyun Sect, at least he could pass it on in Nan Tianshou's hands.

Of course, the methods of fortune-telling were not very accurate, and no one could tell what would happen. He just did his best.

Nan Tianshou also reacted at this time, and he said seriously: "I won't leave, I will stay to protect the sect."

"What the hell are you guarding? Hurry up and leave. If you can invite Gao Xian here, maybe he can save my life..."

Yun Taihao then said, "If I die, you should stay in Qingyun City and wait until you achieve the Golden Core, then find a good place to pass on the sect..."

"Yes, Master. I will never let you down." Nan Tianshou immediately knelt down and kowtowed. He knew that time was urgent and he could not afford to pretend any longer.

"Good boy."

Yun Taihao took out a Qiankun Shifting Talisman from his sleeve. He finally said, "When you get to Qingyun Sect, you must find Gao Xian first. No one else will help!"

"Disciple understands." Nan Tianshou knew that the matter was of great importance and did not dare to hesitate.

Yun Taihao activated the Qiankun Moving Talisman, and runes formed a teleportation array, and golden light shot up into the sky.

At this time, the flying ships also arrived above Jinxia Peak, and the leading few flying ships began to fire the Hunyuan Mountain Breaking Cannon. Balls of red flames spewed out from the muzzles, streaking across the sky and falling above Jinxia Peak like meteors.

The Jinxia Peak's mountain protection array emitted layers of golden light, blocking all the flaming meteors. The exploding flames emitted thousands of streams of light, illuminating the sky in crimson.

The huge roar resounded through the sky, causing the mountains to shake. The walls of Qingyun City were shaking in the roar...

A voice shouted, "Yun Taihao, kneel down and surrender now and I can spare your life!"

As Nan Tianshou's golden light shot up into the sky, he saw hundreds of flaming meteors falling. The towering Jinxia Peak was instantly engulfed in flames...
