Chapter 243: Confrontation at Tiandao City
Tiandao City.
Ever since the news of the upcoming arrival of the Lingyuan Realm spread throughout the world of immortal cultivators, more and more immortal cultivators have begun to gather in Tiandao City. Among them are not only disciples and elders from major sects, but also more independent cultivators from the world of immortal cultivators.
Even though the reputation of the Tiandao Sect is not as good as before, there is no doubt that, to date, the Tiandao Sect is still the thickest tree in the world of immortal cultivation.
Even if the immortal cultivators from the Lingyuan Realm come to kill us, this is the safest place.
With so many people pouring in within a short period of time, Tiandao City was already overcrowded, and those who came later could only open caves outside the city.
In recent days, a major event occurred in Tiandao City.
More than two hundred years ago, the leader of the Ten Saints of the Heavenly Dao was killed by the then Saintess of the Xuanyin Sect and the disciple of the Kunlun Sect's head. It was not until recently that the two were captured and brought back to the Tiandao Sect.
Although this incident happened two hundred years ago, for the sake of the Tiandao Sect's reputation and dignity, the Sect's leader decided to punish them in public to serve as a warning to others.
One is the former saint of Xuanyin Sect, and the other is the former disciple of Kunlun Sect's chief. Their identities and status are not low. Xuanyin Sect and Kunlun are both sects with the power of Poxu.
But the two had been tied up by the Tiandao Sect in Tiandao City for such a long time as a display for public display, and there had been no movement from the Xuanyin Sect and Kunlun.
Obviously, two hundred years ago, the Xuanyin Sect and Kunlun failed to protect them. Two hundred years later, the Tiandao Sect is more powerful than before. The two sects are no longer able to protect the two and have no intention of intervening in this matter.
Tiandao City, a square in the city.
Two figures were tied to two pillars in the square. Their shoulder blades were pierced by a thick iron chain, and the immortal robes they wore were also stained with blood.
One of them was the former disciple of Kunlun Sect Leader, Chen Qingshan.
The other woman was the former saint of Xuanyin Sect, Nangong Rou.
Around the square, the immortal cultivators from Tiandao City gathered together, looking at the two figures and talking about them.
"The Tiandao Sect doesn't give any face to the Xuanyin Sect and Kunlun."
"It's been so long, and there has been no movement from either sect. It seems that even the two sects' ancestors are afraid of the Tiandao Sect."
“The Tiandao Sect has three Void Breakers. The strength of these three ancestors ranks among the best among all the Void Breakers. Even if the ancestors of Kunlun and Xuanyin Sect join forces, they will not be their opponents.”
“But these two are the parents of Nangong Chan, the Saint of Xuanyin Sect. The Saint of Xuanyin Sect had an ambiguous relationship with the head of Kunlun Sect. The revenge for killing her father and mother must be avenged. Although they can’t do anything to Tiandao Sect now, they may become the enemy of Tiandao Sect a thousand years later…”
…
Most of the immortal cultivators who were watching were there to watch the fun.
After all, Xuanyin Sect and Kunlun, one is the leader of the righteous path, and the other is the leader of the evil path. If the two of them are dealt with arbitrarily by the Tiandao Sect, Kunlun and the Xuanyin Sect will lose all face from then on.
Today is the day to deal with the two of them.
But the area around the square was still calm.
Just when everyone was getting a little impatient, the void above the square suddenly fluctuated, and three figures walked out of the void.
"what is that?"
"somebody is coming!"
"They seem to have appeared out of thin air. What kind of magic is this?"
As soon as the three people appeared, they attracted everyone's attention. The one in the front was a thin old man, and behind the old man were two figures. The cultivators present were not unfamiliar with them.
"The Holy Maiden of Xuanyin Sect!"
"Master Kunlun!"
"They actually came!"
"Is that Kunlun Patriarch or the ancestor of Xuanyin Sect? Oh my god, I actually saw a powerful person who could break through the void!"
…
Among the onlookers, some of them had come all the way to Tiandao City just to watch the excitement. When they saw these three people appear, they knew that the trip was worth it.
Almost at the same moment when the three people appeared, several figures flew over from the direction of the Tiandao Secret Realm.
Among them, a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance had his pupils shrink slightly when he saw the old man, but he quickly regained his composure. He glanced at the young man and woman, and finally locked his eyes on the old man. He clasped his fists and said, "I didn't know that Senior Ji Yin had come. I'm sorry for not welcoming you..."
The head of the Tiandao Sect showed respect to the old man as a junior. Everyone had guessed it, but when they heard him say it himself, they couldn't help but be shocked.
"Ancestor Ji Yin!"
"He is the Xuanyin Sect's Poxu Patriarch!"
"Here it comes, it's finally here, now it's time to watch something interesting!"
When Nangong Chan saw the two people tied to the pillars and looking very miserable, endless anger appeared on her pretty face. However, with her current strength, she could not change anything. She could only suppress her anger and stand where she was.
The Ji Yin Patriarch put one hand behind his back, looked down at the people of Tian Dao Sect, and said calmly: "I will take them back."
The head of Tiandao Sect looked at Patriarch Jiyin. He really couldn't understand where the confidence of Patriarch Jiyin came from. Even if he was a Void Breaker, he was just one person. Any one of the three ancestors of Tiandao Sect could make him never return.
Although his cultivation level was only at the Spiritualization stage, as the head of the Tiandao Sect, Poxu was not that mysterious in his heart. When facing the Xuanyin Sect's Jiyin Patriarch, his expression remained calm, and he said, "Killing someone for a life is a matter of course. Two hundred years ago, these two killed my Tiandao Sect's disciples. Today is the time for them to pay. Senior Jiyin, are you going to stop us..."
The Ji Yin Patriarch stood with his hands behind his back and asked, "What if it is?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure came across the void from the direction of the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm. The Ji Yin Patriarch looked at the old man with white hair and beard and said, "Old Taoist Tian Quan, long time no see."
The old man known as Tianquan Laodao looked at the Jiyin Patriarch and said calmly, "You can't take them away."
At this moment, the huge square was completely silent as the two powerful Void-Breaking Masters confronted each other head-on. All the onlookers did not even dare to breathe.
It is a great fortune to be able to meet a powerful Void Breaker in this life, let alone a confrontation between two Void Breakers. No one knows in which direction today's events will develop.
Just as the two powerful Void-Breaking Warriors were in a stalemate, another voice appeared, breaking the silence.
"Oh, what about adding a few of us?"
After this sudden voice appeared, the void somewhere began to fluctuate again, but this time, not just one figure walked out of the void, but five.
Looking at these five figures, Taoist Tianquan could no longer remain calm. A look of doubt appeared on his face, and he blurted out: "Thousand-Faced Saint Lord, Purple Void Lord, Netherworld Old Ghost, Black Shadow Old Monster, Master Wutong, you..."
He never imagined that so many Poxu would gather in Tiandao City.
Just for these two Nascent Soul youngsters?
Besides, Dan Chenzi from Kunlun didn’t even come, so what does this matter have to do with them?
The immortal cultivators who were watching around the square were dumbfounded. They had thought that they would at most have the chance to meet the ancestors of Kunlun and Xuanyin Sect, but they didn't expect that nearly half of the powerful Void-Breaking masters in the entire immortal cultivation world would come.
The Holy Lord of the Great Zhou, the Patriarch of Emei, the Patriarchs of the Soul Refining Sect, the Puppet Sect, the Xuanyin Sect, and even the elusive Patriarch of the Xiaoyao Sect has arrived!
Some immortal cultivators from Xiaoyao Sect who were planning to pass on the first-hand information at the scene were extremely excited. They didn't expect that they would actually see themselves in the show...
At this moment, the development of things has exceeded everyone's expectations.
No one could have predicted that these two abandoned sons of Kunlun and Xuanyin Sect would attract half of the void-breaking cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation, and even the Thousand Faces Saint and Master Wutong would show up.
Almost at the moment when the Thousand-Faced Saint Lord and others appeared, two more figures crossed the void and came from the Holy Land of Heaven.
They were two old men, and their appearance was exactly the same as the Taoist Tianquan who had just appeared.
Few people in the world of immortal cultivation know that the Three Elders of Tiandao, the three Void-breaking ancestors of Tiandao Sect, are actually brothers from the same mother.
The Three Elders of Tiandao City, plus six Void Pokers from other forces, at this moment, there are already nine Void Pokers gathered in this small square in Tiandao City, accounting for more than two-thirds of all the known Void Pokers in the world of immortal cultivation.
The mood of some of the immortal cultivators who were watching had changed from excitement to fear.
It is naturally an exciting thing to be able to see so many powerful Void-Breaking Experts, but are so many Void-Breaking Experts gathering together to attack the Tiandao Sect?
If they had a conflict and a big fight here, even the aftermath of the battle would be enough to destroy the entire Tiandao City.
By then, I’m afraid no one below the Spirit Transformation Stage will be able to leave alive.
The last old man to arrive looked at the figures and said in a deep voice, "Thousand-Faced Saint Lord, Purple Void Lord, Netherworld Old Ghost, Black Shadow Old Monster, Master Wutong, what do you want to do here?"
The Thousand Faces Saint said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I was only entrusted by my clan leader to come to Tiandao Sect to rescue two people."
Taoist Tianshu glanced at the two people tied up below, and then looked towards the head of the Tiandao Sect.
The Tiandao Sect's leader whispered a few words to him, and only then did he know what had happened.
Wang Yue's handling of this matter was not wrong. Whoever killed the disciples of Tiandao Sect would be killed, no matter who it was. However, he had never expected that such a small matter would attract so many Poxu to intervene.
Then, he looked at the Thousand-Faced Saint and asked, "Your clan leader?"
The Thousand-Faced Saint Lord, the master of the Great Zhou Dynasty, has the cultivation level of Breaking the Void. In any force, he is an ancestor-level existence. If such a person joins the Tiandao Sect, he can be on equal footing with the three of them. In what sect is he just a guardian?
Whose law are you protecting?
The guardian's cultivation level is breaking through the void, so the sect leader must be a celestial being, right?
The Thousand-Faced Saint said leisurely, "I am the guardian of the Sun Moon Sect. Of course I must take my sect master's entrustment seriously..."
Taoist Tianshu frowned and said, "Sun Moon Sect?"
He had never heard of this sect.
"Sun Moon Sect?"
All the immortal cultivators present were familiar with this name.
That is a well-known nursing home in the world of immortal cultivators. The dream of many people present is to cultivate to perfection in foundation building before their life span ends, and then go to the Sun Moon Sect to form a golden elixir and live in retirement. It is said that the Sun Moon Sect has recently begun to accept disciples at the peak of the golden elixir stage, and some powerful golden elixir masters also regard the Sun Moon Sect as an ideal place for retirement.
The leader of the Sun and Moon Sect is none other than Li Yu and the Xuanyin Sect’s Saint Nangong Chan.
The Saint of Xuanyin Sect does not care about the affairs of Sun and Moon Sect. The real leader of Sun and Moon Sect should be Li Yu.
But when did the Lord of the Great Zhou, the Thousand-Faced Saint Lord with the cultivation level of Breaking the Void, become the guardian of the Sun and Moon Sect?
How could he be willing to be inferior to a Yuanying junior?
Everyone's eyes turned to Li Yu.
Li Yu's face was calm, he knew that this was just an excuse made by the Thousand Faces Saint Lord. At their level of cultivation, they needed a reason to do anything. Even if the reason was ridiculous, it gave him the motivation to intervene.
The head of the Tiandao Sect conveyed a few words, and the old Taoist Tianshu also looked at the young man who was protected by several Poxu masters. There was some surprise and confusion in his eyes, but he did not ask the Thousand Faces Saint Lord anymore, and looked at Zixu Yuanjun.
The Emei Patriarch said calmly: "The Thousand-Faced Sect Master is my Emei's son-in-law. If he can intervene, how can I just sit back and watch?"
Taoist Tianshu looked at the sturdy man, and the Puppet Sect Patriarch said expressionlessly: "Don't look at me, I'm just repaying a favor to Youming."
When Tianshu locked onto the last two figures, he frowned and said, "Master Wutong, Old Ghost Youming, since you two are here, why do you have to hide your heads and show your tails..."
As his voice fell, an invisible wave spread out in the void.
Ancestor Ji Yin protected Li Yu and Nangong Chan behind him , and his body also retreated half a step under this wave.
When faced with this wave, the burly man took a step back, Zixu Yuanjun and Thousand-faced Saint Lord only shook their bodies slightly, and although Master Wutong and the ancestor of the Soul Refining Sect also only shook their bodies slightly, the black mist on the old ghost of the Netherworld was dispersed, and the mist on Master Wutong's face also disappeared in an instant.
Li Yu glanced at him casually, and was stunned for a moment.
Wu Tong touched his face and said helplessly: "The Sect Master is here, so how can I not come as a Dharma Protector?"
Beside him, Chen Ming, who was full of gloomy aura, said calmly, "You can call me Youming, or you can call me... the Right Protector of the Sun and Moon Sect."
When the two men finished speaking, you could hear a pin drop around the square.
They were shocked to see nine powerful Void-Breaking Experts in one day, who were rarely seen in their lifetime.
But what shocked them even more was that in this world, there actually was a sect with three guardians, each of whom had the ability to break through the void.
The guardians are all capable of breaking through the void, so isn’t the sect leader a celestial being?
Compared with the Sun and Moon Sect, the Heavenly Dao Sect is no more than this...
Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Yu.
Although Li Yu's expression remained calm, he was still confused in his heart.
The Thousand-Faced Saint Lord would be fine, but his position as the Dharma Protector was just arranged for him by Li Yu out of human relations.
But what about Wu Tong and Chen Ming?
Each of them was a friend he had known for more than twenty years. He had watched their cultivation levels improve step by step. But now he was told that one of them was the ancestor of Xiaoyao Sect and the other was the ancestor of Lianhun Sect, both of them were old monsters who could break through the void...
Li Yu admitted that he had always felt a little superior in front of the two of them.
After all, without his help, the two of them would not have achieved their current level of cultivation.
But at this moment, this sense of superiority disappeared completely.
It turns out that the clown is actually himself...
