Chapter 382: Divine Tribulation
After Gu Qingmeng got the jade talisman and was blown away by the flower fairy, she knew that she could never catch up with her. She could only choose to go back and reunite with Yue Ningshuang.
Yue Ningshuang felt a little relieved when she learned that Gu Qingmeng failed to pursue Jiang Chenyu.
This is a rare opportunity to get promoted, she must seize it.
She wanted to become the palace master, naturally for the Taiyin Secret.
Only the Saintess and the Palace Master can learn the last level, and only after breaking through the last level can they achieve the Nine Transformations of Mysterious Skills.
Being a palace master has other benefits. In short, she has already reached the realm of knowing destiny and has no pursuit in other aspects. She just wants to be a palace master and have everyone listen to her.
However, this first step encountered obstacles.
"Master gave me the Sect Master Jade Talisman and asked me to temporarily take over the position of Palace Master. Our top priority is to rescue Master."
Yue Ningshuang: “…”
I am a cultivator in the realm of destiny, how can I be controlled by you with just a jade talisman?
However, all the elders of Guanghan Palace listened to Gu Qingmeng.
Firstly, she was a former saint and had a certain prestige. Although she was later deposed, her connections were still there. After all, she was Jiang Chenyu's apprentice and the senior sister of Hua Xianzi. She was also in charge of the disciplines in the sect, so her status was not low.
Now that she has the jade talisman in her hand, those neutral parties will naturally listen to her.
Yue Ningshuang was so angry!
When the Flower Fairy was here, she was the acting Palace Master. Now that the Flower Fairy is gone, Gu Qingmeng pops up. Isn't he poisonous?
Am I not worthy of being the boss?
"The first thing to do is to issue a hunting order. There are three targets: Flower Fairy, Lin Yun, and Snow Girl."
Yue Ningshuang: “…”
My goodness, who do you want to kill these three people?
Only Lin Yun is easier to kill.
Yue Ningshuang had no idea how powerful Lin Yun was.
"The second thing is to send someone to the Shenxiao Sect to ask for an explanation. The Shenxiao Sect's disciples colluded with the grasslands, and the Shenxiao Sect cannot escape blame."
Gu Qingmeng is worthy of being the elder in charge of discipline. This aura came out immediately, which also gave some confidence to the elders who supported her.
The elders have reasons to support Gu Qingmeng.
If Jiang Chenyu really can't come back, then Gu Qingmeng will be the last person who knows the complete Taiyin Secret.
As for the cultivation level of the Knowing Destiny Realm, as long as Gu Qingmeng continues to practice, she will definitely achieve it. She is much younger than Yue Ningshuang, and there is no reason for everyone to support Yue Ningshuang.
"The Shenxiao Sect and my Guanghan Palace have a close relationship. Now that they are in the spotlight, it would be inappropriate for us to add insult to injury, right?"
Yue Ningshuang raised objections, and she opposed purely for the sake of opposing. If she was the one with sovereignty, she would also let others step on her. After all, she had discussed this with the court.
"Guanghan Palace has already reached a life-or-death moment, so why would we care about friendship? Moreover, since Lin Yun is from the Divine Sky Sect, the Divine Sky Sect must be responsible. This is indisputable, and no one will blame us."
Gu Qingmeng made the final decision and went straight to the third thing: "Third, we need to send an envoy to negotiate with Lin Yun and Xue Nu and ask them to release Master. Elder Yue, you have the highest cultivation among all of them, so I'll leave this matter to you, how do you think?"
Yue Ningshuang: “…”
Gu Qingmeng is really good at this.
But, are you sure you want me to save Jiang Chenyu?
"Since Elder Gu thinks so highly of me, I can't refuse. However, Elder Gu has the trust of the Palace Master and everyone else. It's best to be careful in everything and not let everyone down."
"Don't worry, Elder Yue. Qing Meng knows."
The conversation seemed friendly, but in fact, there were hidden sharp points.
Following Gu Qingmeng's three orders, Guanghan Palace also became busy.
No one dares to accept a hunting order at the moment, but this is just the attitude of Guanghan Palace.
A team of elders from the Shenxiao Sect and the Guanghan Palace rushed to Ziyun Mountain at night, only to find that Ziyun Mountain had been surrounded by heavy troops.
The imperial court intended to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and set an example.
Then, the Shenxiao Sect is the most suitable one.
It's ironic that when it comes to abiding by the laws of the court, the Shenxiao Sect ranks second, and no other sect dares to claim to be first.
It can be said that the royal family members in the imperial court are not necessarily as law-abiding as the disciples of the Shenxiao Sect.
However, it was this sect that was the first to be besieged by the imperial court.
The reason is simple. Didn’t Hu Yuling betray the Shenxiao Sect before?
The Shenxiao Sect is suspected of colluding with the demons.
This is crime one.
Second, isn’t Lin Yun a disciple of your Shenxiao Sect?
Now that he's mixed up with the grassland people, isn't the Shenxiao Sect responsible?
Third, Lin Yu, the elder of the Shenxiao Sect, interfered with the court's arrest of the criminal Hua Xianzi, and also colluded with the grassland people.
To sum up, the imperial court requires the Shenxiao Sect to open its gates, accept investigation, and hand over Lin Yun and Lin Yu to the imperial court for trial. Finally, Fang Yu should resign and hand over the position of sect leader to someone more virtuous.
The Shenxiao Sect at this time was like the Qianji Valley in the past. The six major sects were the law enforcers to the Qianji Valley, and the imperial court was also the law enforcer to the Shenxiao Sect.
In just one night, Ziyun Mountain was besieged.
Many disciples were still a little slow to react.
What's going on? Why are we suddenly surrounded by the imperial court?
"Master, the time is almost up."
Inside the Shenxiao Sect's meeting hall, a slightly frail woman spoke to Fang Yu.
She is Ji Rumeng, Fang Yu's fifth disciple and the only one left besides Lin Yun.
Ever since the incident with the spirit of the Thunder Sword, Fang Yu had been searching everywhere for a way to remove the poison. It was during the time when Lin Yun was missing that Fang Yu woke up Ji Rumeng.
After sleeping for many years, Ji Rumeng needed to recuperate, so she stayed in the Shenxiao Sect and did not go out.
"Today the imperial court is approaching the mountain. What do you think?"
After Jibei King Zhao Guang suffered a loss at the hands of the Flower Fairy, he immediately mobilized his troops to attack Ziyun Mountain.
At this time, the sky was just getting light and their efficiency was really high.
"If they want to fight, then let them fight. I, the Shenxiao Sect, would rather die in battle than surrender."
Elder Ma Feng has a very bad temper.
The imperial court is coming with great force. Although there are reasons for sending troops, we have all lived for hundreds of years and no one should play dumb with anyone else.
Although the Shenxiao Sect lost its think tank Hu Yuling, the only person who could use their brains, this did not prevent them from feeling that the imperial court was simply bullying them.
So, just do it!
The Shenxiao Sect has never been afraid of anyone.
Fang Yu was also very relieved. At least, the people of the Shenxiao Sect were trustworthy and no one wanted to rebel when disaster struck.
However, although the subordinates may be excited, Fang Yu knows that his decision is related to the survival of the Shenxiao Sect.
“If we fight, the imperial court has sent the Four Great Priests. The only ones in the Divine Sky Sect who have the strength to fight are Elder Lin and I. If we fight to the death, all the disciples of the Divine Sky Sect will be in danger of being saved.”
After hearing what Fang Yu said, all the elders below were shocked.
My goodness, is this still our sect leader?
The sect leader who would resort to violence at the slightest disagreement is now restraining himself?
Elder Fufeng couldn't help but ask, "What does the Sect Master mean by this? Are you planning to do as that little boy said, hand over Elder Lin, abdicate, and accept the search?"
Fang Yu shook his head. The people of Shenxiao Sect were all men of courage and would never accept such conditions.
"What I mean is, evacuate Ziyun Mountain. Elder Fufeng, you and Elder Zhujian go count the ancient books of Shenxiao Sect. Take away as many as you can. If you can't take them away, burn them. Other elders, lead the disciples to leave. Elder Lin and I will buy time for you."
"Retreat? Where can we retreat to?"
Everyone disagreed with Fang Yu's strategy.
What's more, Ziyun Mountain is their home. Now they are asked to abandon this home and have no idea where to escape to. They would rather fight a bloody battle with the court to the end.
"Go north and go up Tianlong Mountain. Tianlong Mountain has natural defenses to rely on, and the imperial court will definitely not dare to kill them all."
"Tianlong Mountain!?"
Among the four most dangerous places in the world, Tianlong Mountain is definitely one of them. It is very mysterious and has various ancient legends.
Tianlong Mountain is indeed a good place to escape, but how could the people of Shenxiao Sect be willing to escape...
"My fellow elders, I know you have doubts in your hearts, but if we keep the land and lose the people, we will lose both the people and the land. If we keep the people and lose the land, we will gain both the people and the land. Today, the imperial court has come with great momentum, and its intention to destroy us is obvious, but such immoral behavior is the beginning of disaster.
Let's just bear with him for a while. One day, we will definitely come back here. I believe that day will not be far away."
Fang Yu's words finally convinced the elders.
Even Fang Yu, who had the most explosive temper, chose to be patient, so what else could they say.
"Follow the master's orders."
The elders all took orders, and at this moment, a burst of explosions suddenly sounded from all directions.
The people in the imperial court took action first.
In addition to the enlightened monks, the Shenxiao Sect also has many disciples with shallow cultivation, and these people are even more numerous.
Under the bombardment of the imperial court's magic, many disciples died on the spot before they could react.
Fang Yu was the first to rush out, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but be furious.
"God of Lei Ze, command: kill the demon!"
There was a loud thunderclap, and Fang Yu simply used the Shenxiao Sect's most powerful killing move, the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.
Ziyun Mountain is an area with extremely strong thunder power. When the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder came down, the cultivators who cast spells to attack the disciples of Shenxiao Sect were covered by the thunder and turned into ashes in an instant.
"Master Fang, as a venerable, you actually killed a cultivator in the Earth Realm. How is this behavior different from the devil's way?"
Zhao Yuan saw Lin Yu again, and thought of the white tiger phantom he had seen before, and couldn't help feeling a little scared. But at that time, they were 3v3, with not only the White Tiger but also the Suzaku. But now there were only Lin Yu and Fang Yu left, but there were four of them.
At the same realm, without any special magical powers, spells, or artifacts, it is basically impossible for a cultivator in the Fate Realm to fight two people at once.
What's more, the Shenxiao Sect should not have any magical weapons, so to be on the safe side, they also specially brought the Jiuzhou Ding.
In this battle, the Shenxiao Sect must be destroyed.
They wanted to completely destroy the Shenxiao Sect with lightning speed before other sects realized the court's determination.
Four priests at the realm of knowing destiny, twenty priests at the realm of knowing heaven, and a magical weapon that can suppress everything. I just want to ask you, how are we going to lose this time?
