Chapter 253 I, Zhao Yichun, today betray my teacher and ancestors
Li Yifei's betrayal made the atmosphere of the entire martial arts arena completely different.
Solemn and murderous!
The warriors who came to watch the ceremony stood silently on the side of Lin Ye, Zhang Wuji and others. At this point, they had no choice.
It was not because of the boasting he had made before, but because Li Yifei’s words had already proved that the mastermind behind these years was the God-level sect.
There is no room for argument about the god-level gate.
In this situation, if the Divine Level Sect does not want to provoke a crusade from the entire Nanjiangzhou martial arts community, there is only one way: to kill everyone present and prevent the news from leaking out.
After all, there is more than one Nanjiangzhou in the world. Looking around the world, there are still martial arts sects that are comparable to the god-level sects, and some are even stronger than the god-level sects.
However, over the years, a tacit understanding has been formed in the martial arts circle. Each of the top martial arts schools has its own territorial divisions and will not easily cross the line.
Once you cross the line, it will also cause resistance from all martial artists in the other state.
But once word of what the God-level sect has done gets out, the top sects in other states will certainly take this opportunity to intervene, and the martial artists in Nanjiang State will also support it.
The powerful men who came to watch the ceremony understood this, and the disciples of the god-level sect naturally understood it .
Even those who originally felt that their sect's top leaders had done something wrong, after realizing this, began to stare at Lin Ye and the others with hatred.
When Zhao Yichun, who was on the high platform, saw this scene, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"Everyone, since you doubt me, the Supreme Elder of the Divine Level Sect, then please follow me up the mountain!"
As soon as Zhao Yichun said this, the first to get anxious were the elders of the God-level Sect, especially the Second Elder, who immediately said, "Master, the Supreme Elder is of such a noble status, how can we disturb him just because of these people's false accusations?"
"My Divine Sect has been the holy land of martial arts in Nanjiang Province for hundreds of years. Could it be that our reputation has been ruined because of this, and we will become an evil sect that everyone wants to fight against?"
Faced with Zhao Yichun's question, the Second Elder was stunned for a moment. He wanted to say that at worst, all these people could be killed. Although the God-level Sect might pay a huge price for this, when the Supreme Elder came out of retreat and with the Supreme Elder in charge, the God-level Sect would recover in a few decades.
"Brother, what the sect master said is correct. Since they suspect it is the Supreme Elder, let's take them to the place where the Supreme Elder is in seclusion and prove it to them."
The third elder stopped the second elder and gave him a look. The second elder was stunned for a moment, but then he understood the meaning of his fellow disciple's eyes.
The Supreme Elder is in seclusion in a forbidden area, where there are many traps. It would be easier to catch these people in one fell swoop if we could lure them into the forbidden area.
The sect leader must have thought the same thing. As expected of the sect leader, he came up with the best solution so quickly.
However, these martial arts masters who came to watch the ceremony were not fools. When the Third Elder tried to stop the Second Elder and the Second Elder was easily persuaded, they became suspicious and suspected that there was something fishy going on.
"Why, didn't you suspect the Supreme Elder of my God-level Sect? Now you don't dare to take you to see the Supreme Elder?"
The Divine Level Sect disciple challenged him, and Zhang Wuji responded, "Okay, I'll go!"
For Zhang Wuji, he doesn’t care whether the Shenji Sect has traps or not. He wants to avenge his senior brother and many disciples of the Shenyun Sect, and he also has to face the supreme elder of the Shenji Sect.
"Elder Zhang dares to go. Although Jing Yu is not talented, he is willing to accompany you."
"I will go too. My brother cannot die in obscurity."
… …
Led by Zhang Wuji and Jing Yu, more than a dozen strong men responded. Under such circumstances, the remaining strong men had no choice but to advance and retreat together.
Because if they are separated, it will give the god-level gate a chance to break through.
When everyone is together, the number of Jingzhe Realm powerhouses is far greater than that of the Divine Level Gate, and they have the advantage in a fight. If they are separated, this advantage will be gone.
“Follow!”
After Zhao Yichun said this, he headed towards the mountain where the forbidden area was located. Several elders from the God-level sect followed him, and then came Lin Ye and others. As for the disciples of the God-level sect, Zhao Yichun ordered them to wait in the martial arts field.
A quarter of an hour later, everyone arrived at the mountain where the forbidden area was located.
Zhao Yichun led everyone through a peach forest, and then stood in front of a cliff and said, "Grand Elder, someone has falsely accused my Divine Sect of assassinating a warrior from Nanjiang Prefecture..."
A few moments after Zhao Yichun finished speaking, an old man in elder's clothes walked out of the peach forest. He first glanced at everyone present, and then bowed to Zhao Yichun: "Master, the Grand Elder is in retreat at this critical moment, no one can disturb him."
"Master Zhao, what are you doing? But you said you wanted your Grand Elder to come forward and give us a proof."
The old man beside Lin Ye whose brother was murdered was furious. However, before Zhao Yichun could respond, more than a dozen black figures suddenly appeared in the peach forest.
Each of them has the aura of a strong person in the Jingzhe realm.
"Master, go ahead and leave them all here." The second elder looked at the dozen people who appeared with a proud look on his face. This was the hidden power of their god-level sect, and it was these dozen people who had been the ones to assassinate the Nanjiangzhou martial arts masters in the past few years.
At this point, the Second Elder stopped pretending, and the other God-level powerful men present also revealed sinister looks. At this point, the life and death of these people in front of them would be decided by them.
"kill!"
Zhao Yichun's eyes darkened, and as soon as he said this, more than a dozen figures rushed over immediately, and many elders of the God-level sect also took action.
"God-level gate, pay for my brother's life!"
Some of these strong men who were watching the ceremony went forward angrily, while others were frightened, but then they had no choice but to go forward anyway, because at this point, it was either you or me dying.
"Zhang Wuji, I have tolerated you for a long time, go and die!"
The second elder of the God-level Sect rushed towards Zhang Wuji, but Zhang Wuji was not afraid: "Old man, I have also tolerated you for a long time!"
Bang!
The two men collided quickly and then separated. Neither of them gained an advantage, but they soon fought again.
"Jingyu, I would like to ask Master Zhao for advice."
Jing Yu pointed the Luoxue Sword at Zhao Yichun. Snowflakes were falling all over the sky. Zhao Yichun did not answer, but used his fist to represent his response.
With a punch, the surrounding snowflakes melted and dissipated instantly. At this moment, Zhao Yichun's blood energy was as rich as the sun.
Jing Yu continued to swing his sword!
Zhao Yichun followed suit and threw a punch.
The two of them, separated by a distance of dozens of meters, seemed to be fighting in a very civilized manner, but Lin Ye knew that if anyone showed the slightest flaw, a thundering blow would be waiting for him.
Lin Ye did not rush to take action, because even with this group of powerful men who suddenly appeared, the number of Jingzhe realm strong men on their side was still higher than that of the god-level sect.
Above his head, the Yutian Sword was suspended there. When he saw that the strong man on his side was defeated by his opponent, he swung the sword.
With Jianwei's help, Lin Ye's Yutian Sword hit the target 100%.
The speed of the Yutian Sword was very fast, and most of these strong men were focused on their opponents and did not notice Lin Ye at all. By the time they noticed Lin Ye, the Yutian Sword had already pierced his chest.
Using this method of sneak attack, Lin Ye killed three Jingzhe realm powerhouses from the God-level sect. The powerhouses from the God-level sect also noticed Lin Ye and looked at him with fear in their eyes.
They had never seen a flying sword so fast and accurate.
If there were no opponents, they would need to concentrate fully when facing such an aircraft, not to mention that they have to fight with others at this moment and cannot defend themselves at all.
This time, Lin Ye's Yutian Sword was aimed at the Second Elder who was fighting with Zhang Wuji.
Zhang Wuji and the Second Elder were evenly matched and neither could suppress the other. When the Second Elder noticed that Lin Ye's sword was pointed at him, his expression changed slightly and there was a hint of fear.
It was during this moment of distraction that Zhang Wuji immediately seized the opportunity and thrust the sword in his hand forward like thunder. The Second Elder hurriedly stepped back, but his clothes were pierced by the sword energy, leaving several bloody marks on his chest.
"Big Brother, you can't hold back!"
The second elder looked down and saw the bloodstain on his chest left by the sword energy, and shouted to an old man on the left.
This old man is the leader of the group of people who just emerged from the peach forest. He is also the eldest brother among this generation of elders of the Divine Level Sect and the grand elder of the Divine Level Sect.
But the identity of this great elder is unknown to anyone in the entire God-level sect except the elders.
"Big Brother, give me the Martial Arts Stone!"
Zhao Yichun also spoke with a serious face. The great elder of the god-level sect looked a little hesitant. The martial arts stone was given to him by the supreme elder, and it contained the energy of the supreme elder.
As long as you absorb the energy in the martial arts stone, you will be able to possess the energy of a half-step martial saint in a short period of time.
The Supreme Elder originally gave it to him to use when the Divine Level Sect was facing a life-and-death crisis.
But not everyone can use the Martial Arts Stone. First of all, the minimum requirement is that the user must be of the upper-grade Jingzhe realm. If the user has not reached the upper-grade realm, the energy in the Martial Arts Stone will blast the body, resulting in death.
Moreover, the higher the realm, the more energy can be absorbed.
In the entire god-level sect, there are only two people who are of the top Jingzhe level, him and the sect master, and the sect master's strength is higher than his.
The martial arts stone plays the greatest role in the hands of the sect leader.
Thinking of this, the old man no longer hesitated. He flashed in front of Zhao Yichun and took out a ball from his arms.
"Master!"
After Zhao Yichun took the stone ball, he crushed it directly. A surge of energy burst out from it, which made both sides fighting on the scene stop and look over.
Because this energy is so terrifying, everyone feels so insignificant in front of it.
Is this the Martial Saint?
Terrifying energy burst out from the stone ball and immediately poured into Zhao Yichun's body. Everyone could clearly feel that Zhao Yichun's momentum was constantly rising, and in the end, it gave everyone a feeling of being invincible.
This scene made the strong men present feel a little desperate, but on the contrary, the elders of the god-level sects were very excited.
The sect leader is now equivalent to a half-step Martial Saint. Although he can only maintain it for a short quarter of an hour, it is enough to kill these guys in front of him.
The gap between a Martial Saint and Jingzhe is as huge as a chasm. A half-step Martial Saint is still a Martial Saint.
"Run away for a while, run as far as you can."
Jing Yu's expression was extremely solemn, and he spoke to Lin Ye in a low voice. In fact, many powerful people present also had the same thought. In front of a half-step Martial Saint, no matter how many of them there were, they would not be enough.
If we run away separately, we still have a certain chance of escaping.
run?
Lin Ye nodded, but he would not run. Instead of pinning his hopes on being the lucky one, it would be better to pause and return to the real world.
But in just a few breaths, Zhao Yichun had absorbed it all. He swept his sharp eyes over everyone present, and the next moment he suddenly looked towards the stone wall in front of him and shouted, "Zhao Yichun, please ask the Supreme Elder to come out and see me!"
With a shout, the stone wall shook and many stones fell down.
Everyone at the scene was stunned by Zhao Yichun's action, and those who had originally planned to run temporarily suppressed the urge to escape.
"Master, what are you doing?"
The elder of the God-level Sect looked at Zhao Yichun with confusion. Shouldn't the Sect Master kill everyone at this time?
"Our Divine Sect has been passed down for hundreds of years. We have become a sacred place for martial arts in Jiangnan Province. In addition to strength, we rely on being upright. The Supreme Elder killed fellow martial artists in Nanjiang Province for his own selfish interests. This behavior violates the rules of our Divine Sect. Yichun, as the leader of the Divine Sect, is responsible for the reputation and inheritance of our Divine Sect. Today, I ask the Supreme Elder to come out and apologize to the fellow martial artists in Nanjiang Province!"
Self-poke!
Apologize!
Zhao Yichun's words shocked everyone present. No one had expected that Zhao Yichun would choose to turn against the Supreme Elder in the end and become his enemy.
"Zhao Yichun, you are so outrageous!"
The Great Elder shouted angrily. He never expected that Zhao Yichun would betray their God-level sect.
"Brother, Yichun is the sect master. He abides by the sect rules of our Divine Sect and protects the reputation of our Divine Sect, not the Supreme Elder."
"So...so you deliberately captured Ren Pingsheng just to dispel our suspicions about you?"
The Second Elder seemed to have thought of something. Zhao Yichun listened to the Second Elder's words with a look of pain on his face, and then he said, "That's right, I went to Shenyun Sect to capture Ren Pingsheng just to make you trust me, and this is what I discussed with Sect Leader Ren."
"Impossible. You have never left the mountain gate in the past few years, and Ren Pingsheng only came here once before. You didn't have much conversation with him at that time."
The Great Elder didn't believe it, so he arranged people in the main hall to monitor Zhao Yichun. According to the other party's report, Zhao Yichun and Ren Pingsheng were just drinking tea together and chatting about some romantic things.
"That's because some things don't need to be said explicitly. Sect Leader Ren and I are in tune with each other, so we only need to communicate with each other through eye contact."
"Zhao Yichun, what nonsense are you talking about? If you and my senior brother had agreed, then why would a disciple of my Shen Yun Sect be killed?"
Zhang Wuji interrupted Zhao Yichun and said he didn't believe what Zhao Yichun said.
"There are 104 disciples in Shen Yun Sect, but there were only a dozen disciples in the entire Shen Yun Sect that day. The other disciples were out on missions. How could such a coincidence happen? And those dozen disciples in Shen Yun Sect are all evil-minded. They use their status as warriors to bully others."
Zhang Wuji was stunned by Zhao Yichun's words. He really didn't know whether those disciples had bad intentions or not, because he didn't care much about the sect's affairs.
"Then why didn't my brother run away?"
"Because Sect Leader Ren knows that only if I capture him personally and take him to the God-level Sect, will they believe me and give me the Martial Arts Stone at this critical moment."
Lin Ye, who was standing aside, showed a look of sudden enlightenment when Zhao Yichun finished speaking. So that's how it was. Now everything could be explained.
Sect Leader Ren had long realized that the Divine Level Sect was the mastermind behind all this, and it was impossible for him to be unprepared. It could only be as Zhao Yichun said, that this was a show, a show to trick the people from the Divine Level Sect.
The protagonists of this play are Zhao Yichun and Master Ren. Although the two did not communicate openly, they had a tacit understanding in arranging this play.
Sect Leader Ren used his own death to gain the trust of the elders of the Divine Sect in Zhao Yichun.
Zhao Yichun took advantage of the opportunity of changing the young sect leader to invite all the major sects to watch the ceremony, and used the major sects to force the great elder to hand over the martial arts stone.
Even in this scene, he, Jing Yu and Zhang Wuji were all schemed by Zhao Yichun and Master Ren.
Of course, this also includes Li Yifei who suddenly turned against the party.
At this point, no one would doubt Zhao Yichun's words because there was no need for Zhao Yichun to lie.
"Zhao Yichun, do you know what you are doing? You will destroy the hundreds of years of foundation of our God-level Sect in one fell swoop."
The second elder roared, Zhao Yichun looked calm, and looked at the stone wall: "If my God-level sect falls into evil ways, then such a foundation would be useless."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Yichun walked towards the stone wall. Seeing this, the great elder wanted to stop him, but Zhao Yichun just flicked his right index finger, and a ray of light shot onto the great elder, who fell to the ground.
This scene made the other elders of the Divine Sect who wanted to stop it all freeze in place and dared not to stop it anymore.
As excited as they were before about Zhao Yichun's half-step Martial Saint strength, they were now filled with fear and regret.
"Since the Grand Elder is unwilling to come out to meet us, Yichun will have to invite him personally."
Zhao Yichun pointed at the stone wall with his right hand, and no one felt any energy fluctuations, but the next moment the stone wall suddenly exploded, revealing a stone door.
However, the moment the stone door appeared, it exploded, raising a large cloud of dust, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the cave entrance.
As the dust cleared, everyone saw a figure sitting cross-legged on a disc. There were many grooves on the surface of the disc, and bright red blood was slowly flowing in the grooves.
Following the direction of the blood's source, above the stone plate, there were mummies hanging, several of which were still dripping with blood.
The appearance of these mummies made Zhang Wuji and many other powerful men furious, because these corpses that had been drained of blood were their relatives and fellow disciples.
"Yichun, you have disappointed your uncle so much."
The white-haired old man on the disc slowly opened his eyes, and Zhao Yichun bowed: "Master, I am so humble that I ascended to the position of the master of the God-level sect. If I cannot uphold the rules of the God-level sect, I will be ashamed of my master, the sect, and the previous masters."
“Today, Yichun is my god-level sect, so I have to bully my master and destroy my ancestors. Please stab me yourself, uncle!”
After saying this, Zhao Yichun bowed to the old man.
