1112 The Fall Of West-Hill Ii (1/2)
It was unbelievable that the Divine Halls of West-Hill had decided to surrender. The entire Peach Mountain was up upon hearing the news. The sound of crying and cursing was everywhere on Peach Mountain, however, Yu Lian had placed an order on behalf of the Academy, stopping them from surrendering.
This had made it even harder to believe. The next moment, the entire Peach Mountain turned into a total silence. The middle-aged priest frowned at Yu Lian for a long while. He then asked in a raucous voice, ”Why?”
From the perspective of the Divine Halls of West-Hill, there was no reason for the Academy not to accept their surrender because Taoism was still as strong as it used to be.
Well, more precisely, ever since Xiong Chumo's trace was revealed by Yu Lian few years back at the back hill of the Academy, he was severely injured after getting beaten up by Yu Lian. Thereafter, the boundless radiance could no longer cover up his littleness under the divine gown. With Abbey Dean leaving Peach Mountain and Ye Hongyu dropping into the Abyss, she could no longer suppress his inner fear. She could not understand what was happening to her surroundings. ”Why would Haotian give up on Taoism or why would Taoism leave him?”
After going through a long while of inner struggle, Xiong Chumo had finally decided to surrender in order to keep himself alive because with his capabilities, he was expecting that the Academy or the Great Tang would grant him a specific position, which was their culture ever since. There were several Divine Halls moguls including Zhao Nanhai who got either convinced or suppressed by him. The same response was expected from the middle-aged priest.
Yu Lian was a.s.suming that the Divine Halls of West-Hill had gone through complicated process and even a b.l.o.o.d.y war, but if he was to think carefully, she could have realized the source of the issue. Upon listening to the words coming out from the middle-aged priest's mouth, she directly declined his offer without any consideration. Why?
Yu Lian did not answered the middle-aged priest's question because she did not have to.
The Divine Halls would definitely come up with several conditions along with their surrender. For example, they wanted Xiong Chumo alive, or the middle-priest, or Zhao Nanhai, or He Mingchi, or others to be alive. However, Yu Lian herself and Ning Que, who was not on the scene would never accept any above conditions and therefore, she would not allow them to surrender.
Her yellow skirt and her black ponytail were swinging slightly along with the morning wind. However, she was keeping her hands behind her back. The middle-aged priest felt a little cold looking at the Grandmaster with a little girl look.
When there was no surrender, then a war was meant to arise. Eventually, someone was about to put an end in this thousand years continuation war between the Academy and Taoism. On top of the hill, there were countless of people staring at the giant sedan.
The figure of the master inside the carriage was as tall as he was ten years ago.
At the critical moment, he was the spiritual support or tens of thousands in the Divine Halls of West-Hill. There were still plenty of powerful fighters on top of the hill. If the master could fight against Yu Lian, then there was still hope for the Divine Hall.
No matter which of them won this thousand years continuation war, it would definitely be a magnificent one. It would be completely normal if the war would last for a long time, even though they were to fight from sunrise until sunset.
Fourth Brother placed the hourgla.s.s on top of a rock because it had become his habit to arrange his strategy using math. Hao Tian lighten up an incense in the Divine Hall to calm themselves.
The flowers on Peach Mountain had started to bloom. Under the attention of the people, Ye Hongyu walked towards the cliff and stared at the giant divine chariot in front of the Divine Hall. As the wind blew, his crimson red color judgment divine gown swung in the air.
She did not have to say a word because everyone knew the meaning reflected. Everyone on Peach Mountain was stunned.
She was going to raise a fight with Xiong Chumo.
The giant figure inside the giant sedan was sitting still.
Zhao Nanhai was standing right in front of the sedan with a dim look on his face.
This Great Divine Priest of South Sea was still a well-known top fighter. He was definitely capable to fight against Ye Hongyu.
There were over ten powerful fighters from the South Sea standing right behind Zhao Nanhai, including two fighters with Knowing Destiny State.
The fighters from the Academy were Yu Lian, Ye Hongyu, Chen Pipi, and Tang Xiaotang.
The middle-aged priest took a glance at Yu Lian and walked back to the giant sedan.
In terms of the numbers and the qualities of powerful fighters, the Divine Halls of West-Hill was not as weak as they had thought. However, their fighting will was weaker as compared to the enemy.
Yu Lian understood the meaning indicated by the middle-aged priest during the eye-to-eye contact just now. However, she did not care about it. There was none expression on her face as she did not want to explain what would be the ”true power.”
According to her extend of recognition, Jun Mo, Youngest Brother, and Ye Hongyu were equally powerful. Since she was dying to fight, then the results shall be within expected.
She even felt that the war would be boring. Therefore, she glanced towards the north once again just like before, as if there was something worth paying attention to.
A cold wind arose, blowing into her eyes, causing her to frown.
The Divine Kingdom was still a distance away from the East Sea, but the wind was blowing from the sea direction and it would usually be the East Wind, just like the wind blowing in the morning previously.
However, the wind that was blowing towards their face was coming from far north.
Yu Lian's expression slightly changed. Her delicate face turned a bit pale. She turned around and stared at the giant sedan in front of the Divine Halls. She swung her black ponytails, marking two shadows in the dark sky.
Her Youngest Brother and Sister were shocked when they realized her emotion issue.
”Madam. What happened?” asked Tang Xiaotang.
”I am leaving,” said Yu Lian. She was calm when she came out with the words. She was not s.h.i.+vering at all, but all of them could realize her anxiety and anger.
The great battle was about to start. However, as the most powerful senior in the Academy, she was leaving. But why? What about the fight that was going to start later? The Academy and the Great Tang was about to withdraw from achieving their absolute victory?
Yu Lian's sudden decision was beyond everyone's expectation. However, none of them disagreed with her because they had predicted an issue that was going to happen. All of them had their expression changed.
At the moment, Yu Lian's face turned into a fierce look. She then took a breath. The wind was getting stronger and stronger on the hill. She lifted up her chest, as if she was about to suck in the air of the entire Peach Mountain.
Her face became completely pale without any trace of blood, as if she had suffered from severe injury. Her eyes suddenly brightened up and blood started flowing out from her canthus, turning her face into a terrible look.
It was not the wind but the breath of nature! The air got sucked into her body along with her breath!
There was something strange in Heaven and on Earth. The trees of Peach Mountain were shaking non-stop, throwing off the snow on top of them.
Ye Hongyu turned and stared at the Yu Lian on the cliff with a tough look. ”Even though your body is as hard as a rock and you are as experienced as a '23-year-old cicada', how are you able to suck in such tremendous amount of breath of nature in such a short duration?”
The breath of nature was still entering Yu Lian's body. The clas.h.i.+ng of the terrifying amount of air had injured her canthus, it even shook her ponytail loose, causing her black hair to fall down like a waterfall. Her hair then went dancing along with the wind blowing from the north.
