Chapter 841: Plot
Many of the sea areas under the jurisdiction of Siyoumen and Nanbozong were originally snatched from Jiuxuanzong. For example, the Lei family's Pengzhou Mountain blessed land originally belonged to Jiuxuanzong.
Therefore, once the Nanbo Sect was defeated, the Lei family quickly announced their separation from the Nanbo Sect's control.
After all, the Nanbo Sect still has some foundation. Before the Immortal Lord Yuansui and the Immortal Lord Yuanyou express their stance, and before the Jiuxuan Sect reopens its mountain gates, they will not allow a rebellion to break out on the mainland and cause others to follow suit, leading to the complete disintegration and collapse of the Nanbo Sect's outer forces.
Therefore, as soon as the Lei family took action, the Nanbo Sect quickly sent troops to conquer and suppress it, trying to forcibly suppress this spark of action.
The result, to everyone's surprise, was that the old man of the Lei family, Lei Yanlong, was already an eighth-rank true immortal, while the current head of the family, Lei Keyu, and his wife, Bi Rong, were both ninth-rank true immortals.
Bi Rong, in particular, was even more powerful, giving people the feeling that he had already become a half-way immortal and was expected to become a Taoist immortal.
Bi Rong is a descendant of the ancient vicious bird Bifang. In ancient times, Bifang was as vicious as the golden-winged Roc. If Bi Rong really wants to become a Taoist immortal, he must be a powerful figure.
Therefore, it would have been better if the Nanbo Sect did not send people to conquer and suppress the rebellion. When their group went to conquer, they were immediately killed in pieces.
In the past few years, Nanbo Sect, together with Lingyun Hall, adopted a cannibalization strategy against Jiuxuan Sect. Over the years , it had already lost many elite warriors. A few days ago, Hao Yuansong brought some elite troops to attack Jiuxuan Sect, and the entire army was wiped out.
Now, in this battle, they were killed in a massacre again. It was like adding insult to injury, and the foundation of their foundation was greatly shaken.
Not to mention that they are no longer able to fight, even guarding the mountain gate seems shabby. The entire sect is in a miserable state. There is no trace of the aura of a great Taoist sect. It is even inferior to the Jiuxuan Sect of the past.
When the various forces in the Nanboshan Sea saw that the Lei family was so powerful and even had the potential to give birth to a Taoist immortal, they all came to join them without them having to recruit them.
It’s so cool under the big tree!
Judging from the current situation, even if Immortal Lord Yuan Sui sent people to forcefully suppress the Jiuxuan Sect, it would take Nanbo Sect tens of thousands of years to recover.
And if Immortal Lord Yuan Sui did not send people to suppress the Jiuxuan Sect, the Nanbo Sect would end up being destroyed, and they naturally did not want to be buried with it.
Of course, the Jiuxuan Sect had offended the Immortal Lord Yuansui, and sooner or later the Immortal Lord Yuansui would definitely settle accounts with the Jiuxuan Sect. If one defected to the Jiuxuan Sect at this time, there would definitely be the risk of being settled with later.
He was unwilling and reluctant to be buried with the dead, but joining the Jiuxuan Sect would carry a great risk of being retaliated against later. At this time, the sudden emergence of the Lei family was obviously a good place to go.
With the support of the Lei family, the Nanbo Sect dare not invade, and the Lei family is expected to produce a Taoist immortal, who knows, one day they will replace the Nanbo Sect.
Not to mention the unexpected rise of the Lei family after the war.
After this battle, the news quickly spread from the Great Barbarian South Sea to other Great Barbarian seas, causing a great sensation, and even spread to the coastal areas bordering the Great Wilderness and the Great Barbarian South Sea.
Of course, it also reached the ears of Immortal Lord Yuan Sui at the first time.
"It's a useless thing. It's a waste of my years of planning." Yuan Sui Xianjun said with a gloomy face.
Immortal Yuan Sui is a handsome man who is almost evil.
"That idiot You Shijin actually voluntarily gave up his post as General Zhenhai! We could have used the Nine Profound Sect's killing of General Zhenhai as an excuse to force Immortal Yuanyou to bring charges against the Nine Profound Sect, or we could have reported it to the Immortal King.
Now that Youshijin has no official position, the matter has become a personal feud between the two sides. Moreover, it was Youshijin who took the initiative to attack first. If we intervene, it would be considered as crossing the line.
If old man Yuanyou refuses to give in and takes the matter to the Immortal King, this matter will be more difficult. But if we give up on this matter, it will damage the reputation of our master. "Luan Qilin said.
"The reputation is not a big deal. The main thing is that the Great Barbarian South Sea was the main battlefield where the Fire Nation's Zhuchi Emperor and the previous Zhuyong Tianzun fought.
In that battle, not only did the capital of the Fire Nation collapse and form the Dark Emperor Sky, which wandered in the subspace of the Great Emperor World, where many opportunities were hidden, but also the Taoist mansions of many ancient and powerful Taoist immortals were also driven into the subspace, making them difficult to find.
Twenty thousand years ago, this teacher was appreciated by the Immortal Bian Min, who introduced him to Yong Tianzun. I had the opportunity to be taught the profound meaning of the Heavenly Dao by Yong Tianzun in person.
The Taoist power of Yong Tianzun is boundless, and he is inextricably linked to the ancient war, so he once speculated that the Mirage Dragon Palace of the Taoist Immortal Shen Yuan, a capable general under the command of Emperor Zhu Chi, is likely to come out of the subspace and return to the Great World of Huangji. "Said Immortal Yuan Sui.
“Mirage Taoist Immortal!” Luan Qilin was shocked when he heard this and said, “Disciple heard that the Mirage Taoist Immortal is the third generation grandson of the Mirage Dragon Ancestor. Not only is he extremely powerful, he is also a top-grade Taoist Immortal, and he is also good at formations.
It is said that the Fire Nation's capital is used to store treasures. The Twelve Underground Palaces Mysterious Gate Array, which has infinite variations and great power, was created by him. I don't know if it is true or not? If his Daoxian Mansion returns to the Great World of the Imperial Continent, even if it is badly damaged and has gone through countless long years, there must be some treasures left in it."
"That's right. The Twelve Underground Palaces Mysterious Gates Formation in the Fire Nation's capital was designed by him. A long time ago, a Twelve Underground Palaces Mysterious Gates Formation that was badly damaged and completely looted was unearthed in the Jiuxuan Mountain Sea Area.
This incident caused a stir at the time. There was nothing good in the Twelve Underground Palaces Mysterious Gate Formation, so the stir soon passed. We Taoists will not mention it again, and let the people below go and look for opportunities.
Although the Twelve Underground Palaces Xuanmen Formation was in ruins, it still had its power, and there were no good things in it, so gradually the people below stopped going there to look for opportunities.
Now that the incident has been nearly 100,000 years in the past, I am afraid that the people in the Jiuxuan Sect will also need to look through the sect's archives to find the records of what happened back then." Yuan Sui Xianjun said.
"Master, do you mean that the place is very likely the place where the Mirage Dao Immortal Palace returns?" Luan Qilin was shocked and blurted out.
"That's right!" Immortal Lord Yuan Sui nodded.
"No wonder Master specially recruited You Shijin to become his disciple back then, and secretly lent a helping hand to old man Youtong a few years ago, and used him to retake the Jiuxuan Sect. It turns out that Master had already made a plan." Luan Qilin suddenly realized.
“Otherwise, the ancient war caused the Great Savage Sea to collapse and split into pieces, turning it into a vast ocean and scattered fragments of land, which is incomparable to the Great Wilderness. Why would your teacher care about that sea area?
Originally, You Shijin was in charge of the Great Barbarian South Sea. He was my disciple. Once there was any movement in that place, my master could make arrangements in secret without letting others notice.
Even if someone noticed, it was You Shijin's territory, which was also my master's territory, so I could take the lead. But I didn't expect that the Jiuxuan Sect would be so weird and ruin my master's good deeds one after another. "Yuan Sui Immortal Lord said.
"Master, could it be that there are other powerful people who know about this and are also making plans in secret?" Luan Qilin reminded.
"It shouldn't be possible. The Emperor Yong Tianzun must have a deep connection with the ancient war, so he could have guessed this. Even so, he couldn't guess the exact time, so who else could have guessed it?
Furthermore, Yin Ranyue and Lan Ran that you mentioned have amazing strength and rose to prominence in a very short period of time. If what you said is true, someone must have secretly cultivated them to be where they are today.
But even if the Master had the financial resources and skills today, and devoted all his efforts to cultivating them, it would be impossible for them to reach the current level in a short period of time.
The only explanation is that they got a great opportunity by chance, or there is a half-master-level person who is cultivating them with care.
If a half-master-level figure really wanted to help the Jiuxuan Sect or wanted to obtain the Mirage Dao Immortal Palace, there would be no need to go through so much trouble.
So, speaking of this matter, it should be that the Jiuxuan Sect got great luck, while You Shijin was born at the wrong time, was too arrogant, and acted too hastily, which led to the current situation. "Yuan Sui Xianjun said.
"Master, what you said is absolutely right. The Mirage Dao Immortal Palace has gone through the ancient war and such a long time. Even if there are some treasures left, there are only a few. How could people like Half-Dao Lord or Heavenly Lord spend so much time and effort to plan it?" Luan Qilin said.
"Yes, the depth of such people is far beyond our current ability to guess. For example, Yong Tianzun, even with my master's cultivation standing in front of him, I feel insignificant, as if I were facing the vast avenue.
The possibility that the Mirage Dao Immortal Palace could return to the Great World of the Imperial Continent was a great opportunity for me, but it was nothing to Yong Tianzun. So when he was comprehending the Great Dao, he inadvertently guessed this and gave this opportunity to me. "
When Immortal Yuan Sui said this, a look of awe and longing could not help but flash in his eyes.
When Luan Qilin heard Immortal Lord Yuan Sui say that he felt insignificant standing in front of Yong Tianzun, he couldn't help but look awed and yearning.
"In this case, I wonder what Master is going to do next? He can't just give up like this, right?" After a long time, Luan Qilin suppressed his scattered thoughts and returned to reality.
"Master, I have been planning for many years, so why should I just give up? Besides, when beating a dog, you have to look at its owner first. After all, You Shijin has listened to Master's teachings and is considered to be Master's disciple. How can I just kill him if he was killed?
If this is the case, who will dare to join me as a master in the future? Therefore, whether for the sake of the possible return of the Mirage Dao Immortal Mansion or for my reputation as a master, this matter cannot be left unsolved!"
Immortal Lord Yuan Sui said in a cold voice, and a domineering and powerful aura burst out from him, causing the wind and clouds above the Immortal Lord's Mansion to change and thunder to rumble.
Seeing the domineering aura, Luan Qilin was first encouraged, but then he seemed to think of something, frowned slightly, and reminded carefully.
“Master, the Jiuxuan Sect was able to kill all nine Taoist immortals including You Shijin. There must be more than just Yin Ranyue and Lan Ran. I’m afraid there is also a powerful middle-grade Taoist immortal hidden there . He has become a force to be reckoned with and his strength is extraordinary.
If You Shijin had not given up the seal of the Zhenhai General and Immortal Lord Yuanyou had not taken any action, we could have gathered troops in the name of the Immortal Lord's Mansion and formed a large army to attack. No matter how powerful the Jiuxuan Sect is, it would be impossible to resist the Immortal Lord's Mansion's army.
But since You Shijin gave up the seal of the Zhenhai General, it has now become our private matter. It is inconvenient to recruit troops in the name of the Immortal Lord's Palace, otherwise Immortal Lord Yuanyou will most likely report to the Immortal King.
As a result, the number of troops and Taoist immortals we can mobilize is limited. If we cannot suppress them with absolute superiority, we will inevitably suffer casualties."
"Your eldest brother has already walked out of the Primal Chaos Realm with Immortal Bian Min and gained some opportunities. Now he is specially allowed to stay in Yongtian to recuperate and comprehend the great Dao." Immortal Lord Yuan Sui said with a happy smile.
