Chapter 852: New General Zhenhai
One is the most notorious beast in ancient times, and the other is the most notorious bird.
One is a high-grade Taoist immortal who has been famous for a long time, and the other is a middle-grade Taoist immortal who has just risen and has one foot halfway into the threshold of becoming a high-grade Taoist immortal.
The huge claws that fell from the sky clearly overwhelmed the golden-winged Roc in terms of momentum.
But the golden-winged Roc did not retreat at all, and his eyes stared at the giant claw defiantly.
The terrifying aura continued to collide and fight in the air, making rumbling sounds and causing the space to become turbulent.
The golden light continued to retreat, and the golden sword river continued to shrink.
Luan Qilin and others took advantage of the fact that Jin Peng transformed into his true form to fight against Immortal Lord Yuan Sui, and launched a fierce attack on Yin Ranyue and others.
Suddenly, Yin Ranyue and others were at a disadvantage.
Inside the Xuansha Palace.
Bi Zhuo and the others all looked angry.
"Master!" Ya Zi, who had a very hot temper, couldn't help but shout.
"It's okay. This is a rare opportunity for your master's wife and Jin Peng and the others to hone their skills. Besides, Immortal Lord Yuanyou is already here." Qin Ziling waved his hand with a calm expression.
Qin Ziling's words had just fallen.
At the edge of the sky, a tremendous force rises up into the sky.
A giant who seemed to be able to hold up the heaven and earth came walking in the air.
The giant was dressed in immortal robes, a traveler's crown on his head, and holding a sharp sword in his hand.
This giant is none other than Immortal Lord Yuanyou.
Immortal Lord Yuanyou pointed the sharp sword in the hand of the giant claw through the air, and then a rolling Taoist force came from all directions and gathered into a giant sword that could hold up the sky, and lay across the giant claw.
"Brother Yuan Sui, you're going too far!" Immortal Lord Yuan You spoke slowly, his voice as loud as thunder.
Above the shadow of the giant beast Qiongqi, Yuan Sui looked at the Immortal Lord Yuanyou from afar.
“With such strength and potential, it is indeed worth your standing up for them. Well, today, for your sake, I won’t bother with them. But when my eldest disciple Taoyi comes out of retreat and comes to settle the matter, Yuanyou, don’t intervene again, otherwise don’t blame me for being ruthless.” Yuan Sui said.
Wisps of the power of the Great Dao dissipated from the giant claw, and the claw turned from a solid entity into a phantom, then slowly lifted up and retracted.
As the Taoist power on the giant claws dissipated, Jin Peng was relieved and turned back into a human form, falling back to the side of Yin Ranyue and Lan Ran. Golden light burst out from his body, transforming into a golden sword and a golden-winged Peng bird, and rushed out to block Luan Qilin, Qiu Kuangji and a lower-grade Taoist immortal again.
However, this time, with Yuan Sui appearing in the distance, Yuchi Guan and others did not dare to neglect him and embarrass him. They all rushed forward bravely and turned the situation around somewhat.
Yuan You looked at Yuan Sui from afar, his expression changed several times, and finally he spoke slowly again: "Okay! But you can't use the Immortal Palace army, otherwise I will report to the Immortal King and ask him to come forward to administer justice!"
"Hmph!" Yuan Sui snorted coldly without giving any reply.
"Captain Yue, withdraw your troops!" Immortal Lord Yuanyou did not seem to be annoyed by Immortal Lord Yuansui's lack of response. Instead, he turned to the battlefield and spoke.
"Yes! Your Excellency the Immortal Lord!" Yue Huai stepped out of the formation and bowed to the Immortal Lord Yuanyou from afar.
Then the bell rang to signal the troops to withdraw.
When Yin Ranyue and others heard the bell ringing, they exerted their strength suddenly, repelled Luan Qilin and others, and retreated back to the formation.
When Yin Ranyue and others retreated back to the formation, the shadow of Qiongqi on the horizon turned into points of light and disappeared between heaven and earth, and Yuan Sui had also disappeared long ago.
"Let's go!" Luan Qilin said with an extremely gloomy and ugly face, then he waved his hand and turned into rays of light and broke .
After Luan Qilin and others retreated, the light curtain covering the Jiuxuan Mountains turned into talisman light and re-disappeared into the mountains.
The Jiuxuan Mountains once again regained their magnificent scenery.
"Please welcome the Immortal Lord!" Yue Huai bowed and said to the Immortal Lord Yuanyou from afar.
"Well, now that we are here, let's stay for a while." The giant on the edge of the sky spoke slowly, and then disappeared. Then, a rainbow light broke through the air and landed on Xuandu Peak, revealing the Immortal Lord Yuanyou.
"Greetings, Lord Immortal!" Seeing Lord Yuanyou coming in person, the leaders of Jiuxuan Sect and Tai Shijun and others who had just helped stabilize the surrounding space all returned to pay their respects.
"No need for the formality!" Yuanyou Immortal Lord said with a smile, and his eyes fell on Jin Peng.
He had known about Yin Ranyue for a long time. Although this performance was even more stunning and surprising than the last glimpse, he still had some confidence in his heart.
Jinpeng is different.
The golden-winged Roc is one of the most notorious divine birds in ancient times. Almost all of the golden-winged Rocs that can attain enlightenment and become Taoist immortals start out as mid-level Taoist immortals, and quite a few of them later become high-level Taoist immortals with astonishing combat power.
In today's battle, Jin Peng has shown that he has the combat power to step half into the ranks of upper-grade Taoist immortals. In time, as long as he does not die halfway, he has a very good hope of becoming one of the upper-grade Taoist immortals.
Yuanyou Immortal Lord would naturally look at such a person differently, and the reason why he went against his usual behavior and tried to stop him today was that he wanted to establish a good relationship with Jin Peng.
In this way, if Jin Peng becomes a high-grade Taoist immortal in the future, this favor will give him an extra powerful helper in the future.
Of course, Lan Ran and Yin Ranyue were also one of the reasons why he took action to stop him.
These two, especially the latter, also have the potential to become upper-grade Taoist immortals.
"There hasn't been a golden-winged Roc Taoist immortal in the Great Savage Sea for more than 100,000 years. I didn't expect that fellow Taoist would suddenly appear today. It is really a blessing for our Great Savage Sea!" said Immortal Lord Yuanyou.
“Your Excellency the Immortal Lord, you are too kind. I was originally just a flat-haired beast in the Jiuxuan Mountain who did not know how to practice Taoism. I was blessed with the opportunity to meet a master who enlightened me. Later, I met the Master of Yin Peak and the Master of Lan Peak, who also gave me many opportunities. Only then could I achieve the path of Taoism and become an immortal.” Jin Peng bowed and said humbly.
Most of what he said were lies, but it did explain why he suddenly appeared here and fought for the Jiuxuan Sect.
The Jiuxuan Mountains are vast, with immortal air lingering in the mountains, and many immortal fruits and magical medicines. Even the nine Xuan peaks have a Taoist aura, and Taoist sounds can be heard from time to time.
Therefore, since ancient times, there have been many birds and beasts in the Jiuxuan Mountains with ancient bloodlines who have awakened their bloodlines and become immortals.
There are also some demon disciples in the Jiuxuan Sect.
Although it is surprising that an extremely rare divine bird like the golden-winged Roc would appear in Jiuxuan Mountain, it is not impossible.
Therefore, since Jin Peng said so, Immortal Lord Yuanyou was half-believing and half-doubting, and he also paid more attention to Jiuxuan Sect.
A sect has three Taoist immortals with the potential to become top-grade Taoist immortals. When is the best time to win them over?
As for Taoyi, whom Yuan Sui mentioned before he left, that is a matter for the future. It would be best if the Jiuxuan Sect could survive that disaster.
If he can't get across, it won't be a big loss for him.
"So that's how it is. The rise of the Jiuxuan Sect is really a blessing for our Great Savage Sea. A few days ago, this Immortal Lord was a little worried that your Jiuxuan Sect was not yet able to take on the heavy responsibility of the Zhenhai General's Mansion. Now it seems that this Immortal Lord was worrying too much.
When I return from this trip, I will order someone to report to the Immortal King to set up the Zhenhai General Mansion in the Jiuxuan Sect. However, I wonder who in your sect is suitable to take on the position of Zhenhai General? I will also report this to the Immortal King."
With the intention of winning him over, Immortal Lord Yuanyou did not waste time and directly offered the position of General Zhenhai.
Yin Chen and other Taoist immortals in the Great Barbarian South Sea were all shocked when they heard the words. They felt both envious and a little uneasy.
Firstly, the current strength of Jiuxuan Sect is much stronger than that of the Seven Star Palace in the past or the later Lingyun Palace. If they perform as strongly as Lingyun Palace, then they will have a hard time. Even if the three general managers join forces, they will not be enough!
Secondly, Yuan Sui had left a message before he left that sooner or later the eldest disciple of the Immortal Monarch Yuan Sui would bring people back to attack. At that time, if someone attacked the General Zhenhai Mansion, they, as officials under the General Zhenhai Mansion, would have the duty to "serve the king". In fact, the Taoist immortals in their jurisdiction who did not serve in the Immortal Court also had certain responsibilities to protect the General Zhenhai Mansion.
When that time really comes, will they stand idly by or come to "support the king" and lend a helping hand?
"Although I am the sect leader, I am afraid it is not appropriate for me to serve as the General Zhenhai with my ability. It would be better for Master Yin Feng to serve as the General Zhenhai." Yue Huai said.
"What do you think, Master Yin Feng?" Yuan You looked at Yin Ranyue and asked.
"Obedience is worse than respect. Ranyue will not let down the Immortal Lord's trust." Yin Ranyue bowed.
"Okay, this matter is settled. I have important things to do, so I'll take my leave now!" Yuanyou Immortal Lord nodded, then bowed to everyone, and turned into a rainbow and left.
As soon as Immortal Lord Yuanyou left, everyone came forward to congratulate him.
This time, his attitude was much more polite and humble than before.
However, when Tai Shijun stepped forward to congratulate him, his expression was inevitably very subtle.
It didn't take much time for his grandson's sister-in-law to become the General Zhenhai just like himself.
On that day, the Jiuxuan Sect held a banquet as planned, seemingly unaffected by the previous battle.
At the banquet, Yin Ranyue, as the designated General Zhenhai and a Taoist immortal with amazing combat power, was very polite to Yin Chen and others. He was not at all like You Shijin in the past, who acted arrogant and looked down on others as soon as he sat on the position of General Zhenhai.
This made Yin Chen and others feel much more at ease.
Just when the host and guests were toasting and chatting happily at the top of Xuandu Peak, suddenly everyone sensed something and turned their heads to look outside Jiuxuan Mountain.
I saw rays of precious light coming from afar, and then landing outside Jiuxuan Mountain, revealing true immortals.
These True Immortals were actually the ones who had just come to attack Jiuxuan Sect, except for those from Lingyun Palace.
"We have come here to confess our crimes, and we beg the Taoist immortals of Jiuxuan Sect to show some mercy and not destroy our sect. Please give our disciples a chance to live." Those True Immortals knelt in the air facing Jiuxuan Mountain and pleaded in unison with sad faces.
Yin Chen and others watched this scene in silence.
After a while, everyone stood up, bowed and said goodbye to Yue Huai and others, and Tai Shi Jun and Tai Shi Ba were no exception.
This is the business of the Jiuxuan Sect. In the past they might have been able to say a few words with confidence, but things are different now and it is no longer their turn to speak.
Moreover, the Jiuxuan Sect had never invaded the six major sects, but the six major sects had attacked Jiuxuan Mountain again and again. Now that they were defeated and were really going to be destroyed, it would be their own fault and they could not blame the Jiuxuan Sect for being ruthless.
