Chapter 848: War Begins
"General Taishi, Elder Taishi Ba, thank you for coming from afar. This matter is a feud between our Jiuxuan Sect and Immortal Lord Yuansui. It has nothing to do with you. Please..." Yue Huai said with gratitude when he saw that Taishi Jun and Taishi Ba did not leave .
"What kind of grudge is this? It's clearly bullying the weak! As..." Tai Shiba interrupted Yue Huai without hesitation before he could finish his words.
Tai Shi Jun's lips trembled, but in the end he still looked at his grandson silently, and sighed secretly in his heart, feeling very heavy.
"Your eldest brother said that your Taishi family should not get involved in this battle. When the day comes that he needs your help, he will ask for it." Before Taishi Ba could finish his words, Yin Ranyue interrupted him.
Then Yin Ranyue bowed deeply to Tai Shijun and said, "Thank you, old man!"
"I should be the one saying thank you. If it weren't for your husband..." Tai Shi Jun said apologetically.
"We are all family, so why bother to thank each other? Old man and Tai Shi Ba, you'd better leave quickly to avoid misunderstandings, which will be bad." Lan Ran said with a smile.
"You are really capable..." Tai Shi Jun felt even more guilty when he heard Lan Ran say this. He always felt that doing so was very unfair.
"Grandpa, since my eldest brother and my two sisters-in-law have said so, let's go quickly!" Tai Shiba pulled his grandfather and said without waiting for him to finish his words.
"Huh!" Tai Shi Jun looked stunned.
He thought that with Tai Shi Ba's personality, he would definitely not leave, but it turned out that he was like a heartless man. After being told that, he immediately walked away.
"Don't worry, grandpa. Since my eldest brother said so, there will definitely be no problem!" After Tai Shi Ba said this, he pulled his grandfather away without saying anything.
Are you kidding? That battle back then involved nine Taoist immortals and eight hundred true immortals. Outsiders thought that the fierce fighting lasted for ten days and ten nights, with mountains collapsing and the earth cracking, and heavy casualties. But only Tai Shi Ba knew very well that there was no such thing as ten days and ten nights, mountains collapsing and the earth cracking, and heavy casualties.
When he went in, it was empty, as if nothing had happened.
If that guy hadn't been killed by crushing him, Tai Shiba would have dared to twist his head off.
This time, Immortal Lord Yuan Sui sent thirteen Taoist immortals and gathered the elite True Immortals from the six major sects. Although their fighting power was much stronger than the time more than twenty years ago, they could never crush nine True Immortals including You Shijin and eight hundred True Immortals. Even if You Shijin and Shi Xingman came in batches later, they still could not do it.
Therefore, as long as Tai Shiba had expressed his attitude, all other matters would naturally be arranged by his elder brother, and he didn't need to worry about it at all.
"What you are doing is too much. You need to at least persist for a while. Your brother and sister-in-law will feel more comfortable." Tai Shijun couldn't help nagging as he was dragged away from Jiuxuan Mountain.
"The friendship between me and my elder brother doesn't require those empty courtesies! If it really needed, I would have charged in with my head hanging on my belt. How could I be dismissed with just a few words?
"But what you, Grandfather, Sect Master Yue, and my eldest brother and his wife said should be exactly what you want, saving you from being in a dilemma." Tai Shiba said.
Tai Shijun was quite moved by Tai Shiba's first words, but when he heard the second, he felt a little embarrassed and glared at him, "Is your grandfather that kind of person?"
"My grandfather is certainly not that kind of person, but he still has a family to support!" Tai Shiba said.
Tai Shijun was immediately deflated when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "You are right, so if you don't tell me some things, I won't ask."
At this point, Tai Shi Jun paused for a moment, then suddenly straightened his back and said, "But don't underestimate your grandfather. Your eldest brother saved your life and nurtured you, which means he has done a great favor to our Tai Shi family. If he really gets into trouble, your grandfather will not sit idly by even if he risks his life!"
…
Outside Jiuxuan Mountain, in the camp of Immortal Lord Yuansui.
Luan Qilin looked at Tai Shi Ba and Tai Shi Jun, the grandfather and grandson, who also left Jiuxuan Mountain. A hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
If these grandfather and grandson really act stupidly, it would be like Jiuxuan Sect suddenly having two more middle-grade true immortals. This battle would probably be tricky.
Just as Luan Qilin was secretly breathing a sigh of relief, countless runes emerged from the peaks of the Jiuxuan Mountains, transforming into a sky full of blazing rune light that enveloped the entire Jiuxuan Mountains.
Then, Yue Huai, with the Xuantian Mirror hanging on his head, walked out from the light curtain where runes were flowing.
“Luan Daoxian, fellow Daoists from the Great Wasteland, my Jiuxuan Sect had no intention of making enemies with Immortal Monarch Yuansui. It was Lingyun Palace that went too far first, and then instigated the five major sects to join forces to besiege my Jiuxuan Sect. We had no choice but to fight back and kill them.
The right and wrong of what happened back then are clear, and all the Taoist friends present today, as well as Lord Yuanyou Immortal Monarch, can testify to that. Otherwise, when my Jiuxuan Sect opened its gates today, there wouldn’t be so many Taoist friends coming to congratulate, and Lord Yuanyou Immortal Monarch wouldn’t have appointed our sect as the general manager of the western route.
It is better to resolve a feud than to create one. Yuan Sui is an important official in the Immortal Court. I think he should be a fair and impartial person. Why would he raise an army to attack my Jiuxuan Sect just because of the evil deeds of You Shijin and others, and make enemies with my Jiuxuan Sect and ruin his own reputation? "
Yue Huai's voice was so powerful and well-reasoned that not only did Yin Chen and the others nod their heads secretly after hearing it, but even most of the Taoist immortals in Yuan Sui's camp nodded their heads secretly after hearing it, and the strange phenomena that filled the heaven and earth were less murderous.
Among these thirteen Taoist immortals, except for the two brothers Luan Qilin and Qiu Kuangji, there are the only two Taoist elders left in Lingyun Hall. In fact, most of the others came here reluctantly due to the transfer order from Immortal Lord Yuan Sui.
They have no past or present grudges with the Jiuxuan Sect, and they are far away in the wilderness. If it were not for the Immortal Lord Yuansui, why would they come all the way to the Jiuxuan Sect to cause trouble?
Besides, they are not stupid. How could they not know that Jiuxuan Sect was able to kill nine Taoist immortals including You Shijin? How could it be easy for them to defeat them?
Even if they have an absolute advantage, once the middle-grade Taoist immortals such as Yin Ranyue fight to the death, some of them might be seriously injured or even die, or at least a lot of their skills will be lost.
Now Yue Huai's argument was well-reasoned, making it clear that the Jiuxuan Sect was forced to do so and did not want to make enemies with the Immortal Lord Yuan Sui. He also praised the Immortal Lord Yuan Sui implicitly, which was considered as giving him face. Naturally, these people became more unwilling to fight.
"Brother Luan, what Yue Huai said actually makes sense. This is not a wilderness, so why should we come all the way here to wade into this muddy water? Why don't we let them offer some gifts and make amends, and then we can go back, thus avoiding a fight!" said Yuchi Guan, the immortal general guarding the palace.
"General Yuchi, this is the order from my master. Do you think his order is a joke?" Upon hearing this, Luan Qilin looked at Yuchi Guan sternly.
Yuchi Guan's expression changed slightly, and then he said, "Yuchi Guan certainly didn't mean that."
After saying this, Yuchi Guan looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, and said no more.
"Yue Huai, you don't have to use such flowery words to fool this Taoist immortal and deceive people. You Shijin has learned Taoism under the command of this Taoist immortal master and is his disciple. How can you kill him just because you want to?
But since you said that it is better to resolve a feud than to create one, and you don't want to make enemies with my master, that's fine. Today you, Yin Ranyue, Lan Ran and the other two will surrender and follow us to the Immortal Lord's Palace.
Then I will apologize to my master in person and ask him to forgive me. Maybe there will be a chance for this matter to turn around and let it go. Otherwise, don't blame us for destroying your Jiuxuan Sect!" Seeing that Yuchi Guan stopped talking, Luan Qilin spoke again to Jiuxuan Mountain.
As he spoke, the shadow of the Bifang that blocked out the sun and sky slowly flapped its wings, and red stripes appeared on its green feathers, as if the ground was covered with cracks in lava. Once it erupted, it would be a rolling magma of fire that would destroy the world.
"Luan Qilin, we have said what needs to be said, and we have also given you the opportunity for reconciliation. Since you insist on having your own way, not distinguishing right from wrong, bullying the weak, and killing people at will, then don't blame the sword for being blind. We in the Jiuxuan Sect will go on a killing spree!" Yue Huai said loudly.
The runes on the Xuantian Mirror flashed, and a mountain range appeared in the void, majestic and imposing, competing with the phantom of Bifang that covered the sky.
"Haha, you, the Jiuxuan Sect, are so arrogant and ignorant!" Luan Qilin laughed out loud when he heard that, his red hair flying wildly.
While laughing, the Bifang in the void suddenly flapped its green wings. The red markings on the green wings suddenly lit up, and flew out of the body, like a flaming meteor in the sky, falling towards the majestic and imposing shadow of the mountain.
A huge river rushed out of the mountains, surging like a giant dragon coiling in the sky.
"Boom! Boom!"
"Meteors" burning with flames all over the sky smashed into the river, causing huge waves. A few "meteors" of fire smashed into the mountains, causing the mountains to shake, boulders to roll down, the earth to crack, and magma to erupt.
But the mountains are so majestic and vast that the damage is not a big deal.
Luan Qilin's expression changed slightly when he saw this, and Yuchi Guan and others also changed their expressions slightly, revealing a solemn look.
"It is said that the Xuantian Mirror was born in the Jiuxuan Mountain and is quite mysterious. Today I see that it is indeed quite famous. But do you think that with this you can act so presumptuous in front of me and stop my army?" Luan Qilin sneered.
“Whether we can block it or not will become clear after the battle!” Yue Huai smiled coldly, and the light curtain with flowing runes behind him opened a gap. Yue Huai, with the Xuantian Mirror hanging over his head, raised his foot to step into the gap.
"Yue Huai, if you have the guts, don't be a coward and come out to fight!" You Bihong, one of the only two Taoist elders left in Lingyun Hall, shouted sternly, and a snake-shaped flying sword flew towards Yue Huai.
The snake-shaped flying sword turned into a giant python with a red head and green body in the air, emitting an extremely cold aura.
The giant python opened its mouth wide towards Yue Huai. Its teeth were as sharp as mountain peaks, and its mouth was so big that it seemed as if it could swallow the entire Jiuxuan Mountain.
