Chapter 792: Tough
"This is a different time now. If you had dared to neglect the envoy of the Lord of Lingyun Palace before destroying the Netherworld Palace, Lingyun Palace would have sent troops to punish you.
But now, the Jiuxuan Sect has the power to destroy the Netherworld Palace. The more we do this, the less they dare to act rashly. Moreover, in the battle more than a year ago, the Jiuxuan Sect suffered heavy losses, and many disciples were killed and injured. This is a fact.
Jiuxuan Sect has already announced to the public that it will close its mountain gate for a hundred years, and it is in compliance with regulations to receive You Shijin's envoy now. If Lingyun Palace really wants to raise an army to punish him, it would be unjust and cold-blooded, which would damage their reputation.
Besides, the Netherworld Palace attacked the Nine Profound Sect with the tacit approval of the Lingyun Palace. Everyone knows this. We are already being polite by not going to the Lingyun Palace to ask for an explanation. Why should give him face?" Qin Ziling said coldly.
Yue Huai saw Qin Ziling actually mentioned going to Lingyun Hall to ask for a talk, and he couldn't help but take a breath. He was stunned for a long time before he smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher, your analysis makes sense. But Lingyun Hall is very powerful. In addition to You Shijin, there are four Taoist immortals.
Moreover, this time You Shiqi got a great opportunity in the Dark Emperor Heaven. If he breaks through and becomes a Taoist immortal in the near future, he will be at the fifth level, which is not much inferior to the Seven Star Palace.
If Yu Shijin cannot bear this, and disregards his own reputation, and insists on launching an attack to punish us, how can we resist him?"
Qin Ziling said calmly, "Even if Lingyun Palace wants to call us to task, can they still send out all of them? If not, as long as we stay indoors and guard the mountain gates, what can they do to us? In the end, they will be the ones who get embarrassed."
Yue Huai took another deep breath when he heard this.
After the battle at the Netherworld Palace, Yue Huai naturally knew that Qin Ziling and the Wuji Sect were very powerful, but he never dared to think about confronting Lingyun Palace head-on!
Lingyun Palace is the largest force in the Great Barbarian South China Sea, and its master, You Shijin, is a powerful Taoist who has ambitions to become the General Zhenhai.
How can they fight them head-on when their sect doesn't even have a Taoist immortal?
However, when he calmed down and thought about it carefully, Yue Huai suddenly realized that things were just as Qin Ziling said. With the combined strength of Wuji Sect and Jiuxuan Sect, as long as they launched a large formation and guarded the mountain gate tightly, unless Lingyun Palace sent out more than three Taoist immortals at once, it would be difficult to even break through the mountain gate.
The last time the Netherworld Palace could be breached was because there were already two flaws in the Nine Profound and Seventy-two Earthly Evil Formation. Qin Ziling also planned to lure the wolf into the house and catch the turtle in the jar, which was to go with the flow and let them attack from the flaws.
Otherwise, if the people from Wuji Sect took over the formation later, even if there were flaws, the people from Netherworld Palace would not be able to attack in.
Now two years have passed, and the Nine Profound Seventy-two Earthly Evil Formation has long since made up for the flaws of Xuansha Peak and Diyou Peak. Not only that, Huolong also gave Jiuxuan some suggestions privately through Lei Xiao and Leng Yue to make the formation more perfect. After the battle in Netherworld Mansion, the power of the Nine Profound Seventy-two Earthly Evil Formation has not weakened, but has become even more powerful.
"A powerful force like Lingyun Palace has gone through a long time to build such a strong foundation, so they must be careful about their wings. As long as Lingyun Palace knows that even if they can destroy us, they will also suffer a great loss of vitality. They will temporarily endure and give in, and will not forcefully attack.
After all, their real opponents are the Seven Star Palace and the other three general offices. No matter how powerful we are, in the eyes of Lingyun Palace, we are only capable of self-preservation and cannot pose a real threat to them." Qin Ziling continued to analyze.
"Teacher, you are absolutely right. Now we can only advance and not retreat. We must prevent Lingyun Palace from daring to launch a large-scale war against us in the short term. As long as we give them a few years, when our Taoist immortal appears, we will no longer be afraid of Lingyun Palace." Yue Huai nodded, and the uneasiness and worry on his face faded a lot.
"As long as we show some strength, Lingyun Hall shouldn't dare to make a big move against us in the short term. What I'm really worried about is the forces behind Lingyun Hall. If they intervene, that would be our disaster.
However, every family has its own rules, every country has its own laws, and there are rules for everything. I think the forces behind Lingyun Palace must have restrained them. It is impossible for them to ignore the rules and act at will, otherwise the world would have been in chaos long ago! Your Jiuxuan Sect has been without a Taoist for thousands of years, and it would have been annexed by others long ago.
Of course, fists are the truth in many cases. Compared with those more powerful forces, the Jiuxuan Sect is nothing after all. It is possible that they really want to disregard the rules and face.
Therefore, after today, I will go visit a sworn brother. He comes from a powerful force and should know something about the backers of Lingyun Palace. He should also know about some changes in the current situation in the Great Barbarian South Sea.
Knowing ourselves and the enemy will ensure victory in a hundred battles. Only by understanding the background of Lingyun Palace and the overall situation of the Great Barbarian South Sea can we make the right decision and prepare for the worst in advance, so as not to lose our composure when the time comes. "Qin Ziling said.
"Teacher, you are very thoughtful. I admire you!" Yue Huai felt more at ease when he saw that Qin Ziling had taken into account the forces behind Lingyun Palace and the future changes in the entire Daman South China Sea, and he quickly bowed.
As for the sworn brothers mentioned by Qin Ziling, Qin Ziling did not elaborate, and Yue Huai did not dare to ask more.
In response to Yue Huai's compliment, Qin Ziling waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "You pass my opinion to Grand Elder Ye Chen."
"Okay, teacher, I'm taking my leave!" Yue Huai stood up, bowed respectfully, and then left Xuansha Palace.
…
Jiuxuan Sect, the welcoming hall on the outer mountain.
Sitting in the guest of honor seat was a middle-aged man with an arrogant look and wearing a purple robe. He was the purple-robed guardian of Lingyun Palace.
Ye Chen was accompanying him on the side.
Suddenly, Yue Huai's spiritual thoughts came to communicate with him. Ye Chen's face changed slightly, but soon returned to normal. He continued to hold up the wine glass filled with fairy wine and toasted the purple-robed protector.
"Pah!" Seeing this, the purple-robed guardian suddenly put down his wine glass with anger on his face, and rebuked Ye Chen, who had the same cultivation level as him, "Ye Chen, I am here on the orders of the West Route General to investigate and inquire about the attack of the Netherworld Palace on the Nine Profound Sect two years ago. However, you, the Nine Profound Sect, have refused my entry and repeatedly delayed the matter by saying that the mountain gate is closed. What is the meaning of this?
Also, your Jiuxuan Sect leader is so arrogant. I came here on the orders of the Western Route General Manager, but he has been so slow to greet me. What is his intention?"
“Bang!”
Seeing this, Ye Chen's face darkened. He put the wine glass heavily on the table, straightened his back suddenly, and a powerful aura burst out from him.
“Teng Wo, the duty of the West Route General Administration Office is to maintain the stability of the West Route of the Great Barbarian South Sea, prohibit the various forces from arbitrarily conflicting, burning, killing and looting, and prevent the invasion of the demon world to cause chaos and killing, but it does not override our major forces and sects and have the power to dictate the affairs of our sects.
I have clearly told you that in the battle two years ago, the gate of my Jiuxuan Sect was damaged, and many of the disciples were killed or injured. I will close the gate for a hundred years and will not open it to any visitors. What else do you want to do? Are you going to force your way in?
Besides, you are just an envoy. My Jiuxuan Sect has stood in the Great Barbarian South Sea for hundreds of thousands of years and is a big sect. As the supreme elder, I have specially come out of the mountain gate to greet you, which is already giving you enough face.
You are actually going to accuse me so presumptuously in my Nine Profound Sect's territory. What do you want to do? Are you bullying me because I am weak and have no one? But I tell you, my Nine Profound Sect has stood in the Great Barbarian South Sea for hundreds of thousands of years. I will not allow you, a mere ninth-grade True Immortal, to be so presumptuous here?"
Having said this, Ye Chen stood up, swung his sleeves, and said, "Come here, send the guests away!"
Lingyun Palace is the largest force in the Great Barbarian South China Sea, and has the background of the Immortal Court. Teng Wo, as the purple-robed guardian of Lingyun Palace, has long been accustomed to being powerful in the Great Barbarian South China Sea. How could he tolerate such accusations from Ye Chen, and he immediately slammed the table and stood up.
He slammed the table and it shattered into pieces immediately. Then a powerful force erupted from his body like a volcano. A strong wind blew and runes flashed on the walls and dome of the reception hall.
But this is just the reception hall in the outer mountain. The rune restrictions it adds are very ordinary. How can it withstand the power unleashed by the furious Ninth Grade True Immortal?
As soon as the runes lit up, they turned into points of light and disappeared. Cracks appeared in the entire reception hall, and then with a "bang", it exploded.
"Ye Chen, you are so bold. I am an envoy sent by the general manager, and you dare to disrespect me. Are you trying to rebel? Someone, arrest Ye Chen and take him to the general government office and throw him into the dungeon!" Teng Wo pointed at Ye Chen angrily and gave a stern order.
"Yes, sir!" The two seventh-grade true immortals who came with Teng Wo actually sacrificed a pair of chain magic weapons, threw them into the sky, and were about to fall towards Ye Chen to detain him.
"presumptuous!"
At this moment, runes suddenly lit up inside the misty Jiuxuan Mountain and transformed into a giant palm that covered the sky and the sun, suppressing Teng Wo and the two seventh-grade immortals.
"You, the Jiuxuan Sect, are really planning to rebel!" Teng Wo was furious upon seeing this. Instead of dodging, he summoned a flying sword and attacked the giant palm that covered the sky and the sun.
The giant palm slapped the flying sword.
"Bang!" A sound was heard.
The flying sword was knocked down directly.
Teng Wo was suddenly struck hard. His blood and qi were turbulent, his spiritual power was disordered, and blood could not help but flow from the corners of his mouth.
Teng Wo's face changed drastically. He forced the flying sword to fall to the ground, and rolled up a sword light in an attempt to escape from the giant palm that continued to press down on him.
But just as he rolled up the sword light, the giant palm suddenly expanded again, sealing off the space within a radius , and suddenly fell down.
"Bang!" There was a loud noise.
The earth is shaking.
Teng Wo and the two seventh-grade True Immortals were pinned to the ground by the giant palm.
Seeing this, Ye Chen curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer.
Now, the elders of Wuji Sect are in charge of Xuansha Peak and Diyou Peak, the powerful figures of Half-Immortal Level are in charge of Xuanbing Peak and Xuanting Peak, and the one in charge of Xuandu Peak is Yue Huai, a ninth-grade true immortal.
These people can easily suppress Teng Wo once they join forces without using a large formation.
Now that the mountain protection formation has been activated, how can Teng Wo and the two seventh-grade True Immortals have any chance of escaping?
"My Jiuxuan Sect has stood in the Great Barbarian South Sea for hundreds of thousands of years. At the gate of my Jiuxuan Sect, even if your general manager comes in person, he has to be polite. You, a mere purple-robed guardian, actually dare to speak so arrogantly in front of the gate of my Jiuxuan Sect, saying that you want to capture the supreme elder of my Jiuxuan Sect and throw him into the dungeon. Do you think that my Jiuxuan Sect dare not suppress you?" Yue Huai's voice came from the clouds of Jiuxuan Mountain, full of majesty.
"Yue Huai, I am here on behalf of the General Manager. If you dare to suppress me, you are rebelling. If you let me go now and come out to bow and apologize to me in person, there is still room for maneuver. Otherwise, when I report it to the higher-ups, the General Manager will definitely bring people to destroy your Jiuxuan Sect!"
Tengwo was suppressed under the giant palm. Although he was shocked by the power of Jiuxuan Sect's mountain protection formation and Jiuxuan Sect's tough attitude, he was not afraid because he had Lingyun Palace as his backer, but instead shouted threats.
In Jiuxuan Palace, Yue Huai’s face turned pale when he heard Teng Wo’s arrogant threats.
"Master, what should we do now ?" asked a supreme elder.
Originally, the great elders of Jiuxuan Sect were practicing in seclusion in the back mountains and did not care about the sect's affairs. However, after the battle two years ago, Jiuxuan Sect had been in the limelight, and the remaining seven great elders had to step out from behind the scenes and come to the fore, practicing while waiting for the sect's dispatch at any time.
Yue Huai's face twitched when he heard this, and he looked like he was in a dilemma.
He originally wanted to show the powerful strength of Jiuxuan Sect so that Teng Wo would retreat. However, he did not expect that Teng Wo, who relied on the support of Lingyun Palace and was arrogant and conceited, not only did not retreat, but instead spoke nonsense and threatened Jiuxuan Sect.
As a result, Yue Huai was in a difficult situation.
"There's nothing to worry about. Jiuxuan Sect is our territory. If he causes trouble here, he will only bring shame upon himself. Cut off one of his arms and let him get out with his men!"
At this moment, a divine thought came.
Yue Huai received the divine thought from Qin Ziling and couldn't help but take a breath, but he quickly straightened his back and shouted in a cold voice: "Teng Wo, you are really arrogant and have no regard for the laws of the Immortal Court.
My Jiuxuan Sect is the mountain gate of the Taoist immortal lineage. According to the rules of the Immortal Court, it has a transcendent status. Unless you have committed a serious mistake, let alone you, a mere purple-robed guardian, even Chief Steward You are not allowed to cause trouble at the mountain gate of my Jiuxuan Sect. Otherwise, you will be invading my Jiuxuan Sect and violating the rules of heaven.
Today, considering that this is your first offense, and also for the sake of General Manager You, I will only cut off one of your arms. If you dare to attack my Jiuxuan Sect again next time, you will be my Jiuxuan Sect’s mortal enemy and will be killed without mercy! "
"Yue Huai, you dare!" Teng Wo shouted loudly when he heard it.
"I am the leader of a sect. I have to issue orders in accordance with the law in Jiuxuan Mountain. How can I take it lightly?" Yue Huai smiled coldly, and then shouted again: "Cut off his right arm!"
"We will follow the sect master's orders!" A loud voice was heard from the mist-shrouded Jiuxuan Mountain, and a murderous aura rose into the sky.
"No, no, Yue Huai...Master Yue, you can't do this!" Teng Wo finally showed a look of panic and shouted repeatedly.
But it's too late.
A ray of sword light shot out from the mist-shrouded Jiuxuan Mountain, sank into Huaguang's giant palm, and then slashed Tengwo's right arm with a sword.
An arm was broken off and blood gushed out.
The giant palm then turned into specks of light and dissipated.
Tengwo didn't care about the severe pain. When the giant palm disappeared, he hurried to collect his severed arm.
A ninth-grade True Immortal is only one step away from becoming a Taoist Immortal. With a profound level of cultivation and mastery of Taoism, all he needs to do is obtain the healing elixir to reconnect his severed arm.
However, just as Teng Wo was about to collect the severed arm, the sword light suddenly changed, and the severed arm turned into minced meat and bones, mixed with blood and spilled all over the ground.
"You guys..." Tengwo's face changed drastically, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
“Teng Wo, are you not convinced and still want to keep your left arm?” Yue Huai’s majestic voice sounded again in the mist-shrouded Jiuxuan Mountain.
Teng Wo's heart trembled, and he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue, and changed his mouth to say: "Thank you for your guidance, Sect Master Yue. Teng Wo bids farewell, and we will see you later!"
After saying that, Teng Wo left quickly with his two seventh-grade True Immortal subordinates.
"happy!"
Seeing Teng Wo and his two seventh-rank True Immortal subordinates fleeing in a panic, Ye Chen and Yue Huai and others in Jiuxuan Palace felt a sense of pride.
However, after the great pleasure, both Ye Chen and Yue Huai and others soon felt heavy in their hearts.
It is a great pleasure, but Lingyun Palace will not give up. Next, they will face pressure from higher-level forces in Lingyun Palace.
Xuansha Palace.
Qin Ziling, the mastermind behind the scenes, just smiled coldly, then left behind a few specially made jade talismans of the soul, and after giving a few instructions to the four ladies and the elders, he left Jiuxuan Mountain alone.
