Chapter 786: Alliance
Once the old demon Youtong died, the relationship between him and the Bloodthirsty Demon Knife and the Blood Nether Pearl was automatically severed.
Under Qin Ziling's threat, the blood bats and the two-headed python quickly surrendered.
The bloodthirsty devil sword was given by Qin Ziling to Yuan Da as a reward.
The Blood Nether Pearl just fits his concept of yin and yang, life and death, so Qin Ziling keeps it for his own use.
Another Taoist treasure was a long whip used by a charming woman. Qin Ziling gave it to Chi Caizhu, the mother of his second disciple Lian Changfeng.
"Thank you, Master Qin, for saving us. Please accept our greetings." Seeing Qin Ziling taking away the mutilated body of the old demon Youtong, Yue Huai and Ye Chen finally felt relieved. They stepped forward and kowtowed to Qin Ziling.
Qin Ziling hurriedly stopped the two from kneeling, and said, "Sect Master Yue, Senior Ye is very polite, very polite. Our Wuji Sect and Jiuxuan Sect have a deep relationship and are as close as a family. It is only natural for us to help each other."
Seeing that Qin Ziling had a humble attitude and no intention of repaying a favor, and instead said that Wujimen and Jiuxuanzong were as close as a family, Yue Huai and Ye Chen were both in awe and happy.
Although the Jiuxuan Sect has destroyed the Netherworld Palace and escaped this catastrophe, it is also because of this that Yue Huai and Ye Chen have truly seen the downfall of the Jiuxuan Sect. If they want to avoid being destroyed in the future, they must have a powerful ally.
Now, Qin Ziling said that the two families are as close as one family, which is exactly what they want.
"Master Qin is absolutely right. From now on, my Jiuxuan Sect will advance and retreat together with the Wuji Sect, and share life and death together!" Yue Huai made a prompt decision and said solemnly.
"Okay, as long as the Jiuxuan Sect follows the right path and does not do the evil things that the Demon Sect does, my Wuji Sect will stand together with the Jiuxuan Sect, and share life and death with it!" Qin Ziling said solemnly.
"Master Qin, don't worry. Our Jiuxuan Sect is a famous and upright sect. We will never do that..." Yue Huai was slightly stunned, then said immediately.
"My second wife, Yin Ranyue, was forcibly abducted by your Jiuxuan Sect back then, and her memory was wiped. If it weren't for God's blessing, which allowed us to meet safely in the end, today, it might not be the Netherworld Palace that attacked your Jiuxuan Sect, but my Wuji Sect!
And Shentu Kun is a cold-blooded person. He relies on his powerful strength to bully his fellow disciples and is rude and unreasonable. I don't know how many innocent lives he has slaughtered outside. Not only do you ignore it, but you make him the deputy leader. Is this the behavior of a famous and upright sect?
If I hadn't already planned it in my mind, and my strength was far from what it seemed, I'm afraid Lan Ran and I would have been murdered by him. Not only Lan Ran, but also Ran Yue. If it weren't for the blessing of God that allowed me and her to meet unexpectedly, she would have been murdered long ago. "Qin Ziling said sternly, without giving any face.
Since the two families have formed a life-and-death alliance, some ugly words must be said upfront. Moreover, he always has a thorn in his heart about the incident of Yinranyue that year, and he can't help but get it out.
If this matter is not explained clearly, Yue Huai, Ye Chen and others might think that Qin Ziling has ulterior motives and deliberately infiltrated the Jiuxuan Sect to secretly pry into their Jiuxuan Sect and take advantage of them!
Qin Ziling's words came out one by one, and Yue Huai and Ye Chen couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
Only now did they realize that Yin Ranyue was already Qin Ziling's subordinate before she entered Jiuxuan Sect, and it was the Jiuxuan Sect who separated them and brought them to the mountain. They also realized that if it weren't for Qin Ziling, Lan Ran and Yin Ranyue would have died long ago.
It can be said that Qin Ziling not only saved their Jiuxuan Sect from disaster, but also repaid evil with kindness!
"The Jiuxuan Sect feels ashamed towards Master Qin. Please forgive us!" Yue Huai and Ye Chen bowed deeply with a look of shame on their faces.
Qin Ziling did not stop it this time and accepted the gift calmly. This was what their Jiuxuan Sect owed him.
"Let's forget about the past!" Qin Ziling said after accepting the salute.
"Thank you, Master Qin!" The two bowed again to express their gratitude, and then said with a serious face: "Master Qin, rest assured, we will strictly discipline our disciples in the future and will never allow them to bully the weak and kill innocent people!"
"It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost! Jiuxuan Sect is a large family with many followers, so it's normal for a few villains to appear. You just need to be careful in the future. The same goes for us in Wuji Sect. We also need to be vigilant at all times."
After all, the other party was the leader and grand elder of Jiuxuan Sect, and his two wives were also the peak masters of Jiuxuan Sect. Having said that, Qin Ziling naturally stopped while he was ahead and changed his tone.
Yue Huai and Ye Chen heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then they clasped their hands and said, "Master Qin, now that the old demon Youtong has been killed, what should we do next?"
Qin Ziling said without hesitation: "The Netherworld Palace suddenly launched an attack on the Jiuxuan Sect. This is not a simple matter. We should remain unchanged in the face of change, and stay dormant instead of being ostentatious, so that people can't see our true details clearly and be cautious.
Therefore, my opinion is to spread the word that the Jiuxuan Sect suffered heavy losses in this battle, and that the mountain gates should be closed for a hundred years, and no visitors should be allowed to enter Jiuxuan Mountain. "
Yue Huai and Ye Chen lowered their heads in thought after hearing this. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that Qin Ziling's plan was brilliant. They quickly said, "Master Qin's plan is brilliant, but it is so secretive that it makes people more cautious and afraid to act rashly. But isn't closing the mountain gate for a hundred years too short? Why not close it for three to five hundred years?"
"If we close the mountain gate for too long at once, it will make us look guilty. A hundred years will show that we are confident, and a hundred years is enough." Qin Ziling said.
"Master Qin is right, but even after a hundred years I'm afraid it will still be..." Yue Huai and Ye Chen glanced at Lan Ran and Yin Ranyue, hesitating.
Now the combined strength of Jiuxuan Sect and Wuji Sect is already very strong. Even Qin Ziling's personal strength is almost comparable to that of a lower-grade Taoist immortal. However, there is still a big problem, and that is the lack of a Taoist immortal who can carry the flag in the open!
Without the Taoist immortal in charge and carrying the flag, there will be less deterrence to the outside world. If the Taoist immortal does not show up in the affairs between the major forces, they will appear to be half a head shorter than others.
Of course, Qin Ziling is now strong enough to be on par with the Taoist immortal!
But the extreme mismatch between his realm and strength made him too dazzling.
God is jealous of talented people!
Even God would be jealous of overly outstanding talents, let alone humans.
With Yue Huai and Ye Chen's intelligence, it is not difficult to understand that Qin Ziling should not be high-profile at the moment, unless he has the support of a powerful Taoist immortal, or his own strength has reached a level that even the Taoist immortal would be afraid of.
Therefore, if the Jiuxuan Sect wants to open its mountain gate, it would be best to have a Taoist immortal in charge!
Among the Jiuxuan Sect and the Wuji Gate, the two people who currently seem to have the greatest hope of breaking through and becoming Taoist immortals are Lan Ran and Yin Ranyue.
But in the eyes of Yue Huai and Ye Chen, even if these two people have the hope of becoming Taoist immortals, it is impossible for them to achieve that goal without three to five hundred years.
In fact, three to five hundred years is considered short to them!
The Jiuxuan Sect has never produced a Taoist immortal in over ten thousand years!
What are three or five hundred years?
"It is difficult to cultivate one or two Taoist immortals in a hundred years, but it is still possible! Even if we don't cultivate any Taoist immortals by then, our strength is no longer what it used to be. As long as we don't show off, we should be able to protect ourselves in this great South China Sea." Qin Ziling said.
Yue Huai and Ye Chen opened their mouths wide when they heard this, and they were stunned for a long time.
An eighth-rank True Immortal kept talking about cultivating a Taoist Immortal, and he even said it would take a hundred years. These words sounded like thunder to them, shocking them so much that they couldn't tell which way was which!
Of course they didn't know that Qin Ziling had almost emptied half of the treasures in the Dark Emperor Heaven, and even moved half of the medicine and the Red Emperor Mountain to the Qiankun Cave Heaven World. Now his capital was so strong that even the Seven Star Palace could not compare with the Wuji Sect.
Moreover, Lan Ran has never eaten the Heavenly Creation Fruit yet.
Jian Bailou, Xiao Qing and other ninth-grade true immortals, human immortals, and Sishou and other ninth-grade underworld immortals have never eaten the Heavenly Dao Creation Fruit.
In addition to giving one to Yin Ranyue, Qin Ziling now has sixteen Heavenly Dao Creation Fruits on hand. If he really wants to give them away, he will have an open supply of ninth-grade precious blood and flesh medicines, as well as five-element fruit trees, Qiankun Cave Heaven manifestations of the Great Dao, and other visions to help them comprehend. In a hundred years, there is still hope of cultivating a Taoist immortal or an underworld immortal.
In fact, if you are really lucky, it is not impossible to get three or five!
In addition to these, Qin Ziling, who came out of the Dark Emperor Heaven, can finally start to overcome the immortal tribulations continuously. Once he has overcome several immortal tribulations in a row, and the three paths are advancing at the same time, in a hundred years, even Qin Ziling cannot determine to what extent his strength will reach.
Therefore, Qin Ziling's words were actually very modest and conservative!
After all, he is not a high-profile person.
“However, my Wuji Sect currently has no decent place to establish a sect. Your Jiuxuan Mountain is full of immortal spirits and the aura of the Great Dao. It is a good place for practicing and comprehending the Great Dao.
Therefore, my disciples need to borrow your precious land to practice and meditate for a period of time, and when we find a suitable mountain gate, we will move out. I hope Master Yue can agree. "Qin Ziling bowed to Yue Huai and said.
After all, the world of Qiankun Cave Heaven is still in its infancy, and so is the Great Dao.
Even if there are five elements fruit trees and they can manifest the visions of the Great Dao, they still cannot replace the Great Dao of the outside world.
It can only be said that these can help Wujimen disciples better understand and comprehend the great principles of the outside world, and can lay a solid foundation for Wujimen disciples in the shortest time.
The ultimate goal is to enable them to comprehend the great principles of the outside world faster and better, and achieve the path of Taoism.
Jiuxuan Mountain is the mountain gate of Jiuxuan Sect. It is full of Taoist spirit and Taoist charm is everywhere. Sometimes even Taoist sounds can be heard. Taoist immortals have appeared in all dynasties. It is a Taoist mountain favored by heaven.
The Netherworld Palace wants to destroy the Jiuxuan Sect, not only because it values the Jiuxuan Sect's hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation of heritage, but also for this Dao Mountain that contains the rhyme of Taoism.
Qin Ziling did not understand these things before, but now that he has reached a certain level of cultivation and has been listening to the teachings of the ancient immortals under the Dark Emperor Heaven for three years, he naturally knows that the Jiuxuan Mountain is not ordinary and is a good place for him, a disciple of the Wuji Sect, to comprehend the great Dao.
"Master Qin, you are too kind. Without your help, our Jiuxuan Sect would have ceased to exist long ago. Moreover, our Jiuxuan Sect is weak now and cannot protect the mountain gate left by our ancestors. Even if Master Qin doesn't ask for it, we have to find a way to keep you to stay and help guard it.
Now that Sect Master Qin has said that he wants to stay, it is a great favor to our Jiuxuan Sect. We are more than happy to have him, so how can we say whether to lend him or not!" Yue Huai hurriedly said when he heard this, and he respected Qin Ziling's character even more.
"Yes, yes. I think Xuansha Peak is now in name only. If Sect Leader Qin doesn't mind, then we can ask Wuji Sect to use Xuansha Peak as our habitat. There is also Diyou Peak, where the earth veins are secluded. It is a good place to practice and comprehend the Yinsha Way of Death.
However, the Yin Sha Way of Death is a taboo for us, so only a few disciples who are born with Yin Veins can comprehend some Yin Sha Taoism through the Tongyou Earth Veins, but no one can truly comprehend the Way of Death through the Tongyou Earth Veins.
Master Qin has boundless Taoism and has trained five disciples of the Dark Immortal Generals. The Diyou Peak is just right for them to practice in seclusion. But now the Diyou Peak is rather dilapidated, so it is fine if the five Dark Immortal Taoist friends do not mind. "Ye Chen took over the conversation after hearing this.
"Brother, what you said is exactly what I wanted to say. I wonder what Master Qin thinks?" Yue Huai nodded repeatedly, then bowed to Qin Ziling and asked.
"The guest should follow the host's wishes. I am already very grateful that Sect Master Yue can lend me Xuansha Peak and Diyou Peak for my Wuji Sect to live and practice. There is no reason for me to reject it. Very good, very good!" Qin Ziling said hurriedly.
"Then it's settled. From now on, Xuansha Peak and Diyou Peak will be under the jurisdiction of Wuji Sect. If any disciples of my Jiuxuan Sect want to set foot there, they must inform us first." Yue Huai said.
"It's just a temporary loan for a hundred years. Except for some important areas that have been designated, all disciples of Jiuxuan Sect can come and go freely without any particular rules. However, Jiuxuan Sect has many disciples, and they are a mixed bunch. It will take some time to sort them out. So within these hundred years, you can move freely in Jiuxuan Mountain, but you cannot leave Jiuxuan Mountain without permission.
The same is true for my Wuji Sect disciples. They need permission from the elders or me before they can leave Jiuxuan Sect. I hope the Sect Master and the Supreme Elder can understand this." Qin Ziling said.
Yue Huai and Ye Chen were both smart people. They understood Qin Ziling's intentions and nodded, saying, "In an emergency, it is better to be cautious. That's the way it should be!"
After saying that, Yue Huai looked around, thought for a moment and said, "It's a mess here now. Sect Leader Qin, why don't you move to Jiuxuan Palace first and we can discuss the details!"
"Okay!" Qin Ziling nodded and took some elders of the Wuji Sect to the Jiuxuan Palace on Xuandu Peak.
The Jiuxuan Sect summoned the two supreme elders and the masters of the major Xuanfeng peaks.
The Jiuxuan Sect still has some foundation, with more than ten supreme elders practicing in seclusion in the back mountain.
But in this battle, nearly half of them were killed, and only seven were left.
Among the remaining seven supreme elders, including Ye Chen, the most powerful ones are only a ninth-grade true immortal and an eighth-grade true immortal.
These two people are very powerful and have a noble status. They usually don't care about things, but today is a critical time, so they got involved.
The heads of the various Xuanfeng peaks were all still alive and well, except for being seriously injured and exhausted, thanks to the timely arrival of Wuji Sect.
Qin Ziling and Yue Huai sat side by side at the top.
The elders of Wujimen, the supreme elder of Jiuxuan Sect, and the masters of the major Xuanfeng peaks sat on both sides, but Lan Ran and Yin Ranyue chose to sit on the side of Wujimen.
Seeing that Lan Ran and Yin Ranyue chose to sit on the side of Wujimen, the people of Jiuxuanzong felt mixed emotions, which were very complicated and subtle.
Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. The two’s choice is already very clear. From now on, Jiuxuan Sect will be their parents’ home.
If it were anyone else, Yue Huai and the others would not have had complicated feelings, but these two people are now the most outstanding disciples of Jiuxuan Sect who have the greatest hope of becoming Taoist immortals, so how could they not have complicated feelings?
However, they also knew very well that Lan Ran and Yin Ranyue's current situation had a lot to do with Qin Ziling. Even the fact that they could sit here today was, in the final analysis, all thanks to Lan Ran and Yin Ranyue.
Therefore, the two of them chose to follow their husbands. Although Yue Huai and the others had mixed feelings, no one complained. On the contrary, they knew that the two of them were the key to maintaining the alliance between Jiuxuan Sect and Wuji Sect.
This is a good thing!
“Sect Master Yue, I’m very confused as to why no one dared to attack the Jiuxuan Sect for ten thousand years without a Taoist Immortal in charge, but this time the Netherworld Palace dared to attack openly, and the nearby Siyou Sect and Nanbo Sect turned a blind eye?
Don't they worry that the Netherworld Palace's entry into Jiuxuan Mountain will pose a threat to them? "Everyone sat down and exchanged some pleasantries. Qin Ziling finally asked with a serious face about the confusion that had been in his heart.
"This matter is a bit complicated to explain." Yue Huai pondered for a moment and said, "The founder of Jiuxuan Sect and the founder of Youming Mansion both realized the great Dao and became Taoist immortals in Jiuxuan Mountain hundreds of thousands of years ago.
At that time, the nine Xuanfeng were the mountain gates of our Jiuxuan Sect, and the seventy-two Difeng were the mountain gates of the Netherworld Palace. At the beginning, we were allies, sharing the Jiuxuan Mountain and the nearby sea area of more than 200 million miles.
But later, a powerful lord emerged from the Netherworld Palace who wanted to dominate Jiuxuan Mountain alone. Then the two sides began to become enemies and fought many wars, with each side winning and losing. Jiuxuan Mountain also changed hands several times.
One hundred thousand years ago, my Jiuxuan Sect took control of Jiuxuan Mountain again. The Netherworld Palace was unwilling to accept this and attacked us several times. Ten thousand years ago, another great war took place. The old demon Youtong was severely injured and fled to the South Sea of the Great Barbarians, where he joined the Youxue Sect in the West Sea of the Great Barbarians.
However, our sect leader was also seriously injured that time, and later had an accident and died prematurely, resulting in the Jiuxuan Sect being without a Taoist immortal for nearly ten thousand years, and many sea areas were also snatched away by the Siyou Sect and the Nanbo Sect.
As a result, there were many fights and quarrels among the three parties. Later, the Zhenhai General’s Mansion sent people to mediate, and then the Juxian Sea was formed as a buffer zone among the three parties.
Having said that, because the Jiuxuan Sect and the Netherworld Palace have a historical grudge, the Netherworld Palace has a certain reason to attack my Jiuxuan Sect.
However, the Siyou Sect and Nanbo Sect turned a blind eye to it, and the West Route General Administration Office, that is, Lingyun Hall, did not ask about it. Behind this, there are still constraints and competitions between the interests and power of various forces. "
Hearing this, Qin Ziling's expression became stern, and he said: "So, in the past, Jiuxuan Sect should have been close to Zhenhai General's Mansion, and the Lord of Lingyun Hall might have the ambition to replace the position of Zhenhai General, and his attitude towards Zhenhai General should be hypocritical.
So this time when the Netherworld Palace attacked the Nine Profound Sect, the Lingyun Palace did not intervene, the Siyou Sect and the Nanbo Sect turned a blind eye, and the Zhenhai General's Palace probably saw that the Nine Profound Sect was becoming increasingly decadent, so it simply chose to give up in order to avoid being at odds with the Lingyun Palace. "
