Chapter 156 A Discussion (1/2)
Holding Murong Xian'er in his arms, Xiao Chen was standing on the flying sword that Yu Yifeng took out, and he was also surprised. Even thousands of years passed, the power Qianyu Nishang left on Autumn Water could still fight against Patriarch Guanshan who had reached the Nascent Soul Realm.
At the moment, Xiaoyue was also bounced back violently. Blood still gushed uncontrollably from her mouth. The skirt of her chest was stained with flower shape blood spots. She uttered loudly, ”Go!”
All the people immediately escaped to the distance. Patriarch Guanshan flew into a great rage, but he couldn't leave the place. Then with a wave of his hand, he quickly printed four marks of the devil's seals between the eyebrows of the four Elders.
”The four of you, listen to my order. I need countless souls and Spiritual Meridians to rebuild my body. Now I am going to transfer a layer of cultivation to you. You should take the Spiritual Meridians of all the cultivators in Violet Manor to me within a month!”
After the four Elders were printed with the marks of the devil's seals, their auras instantly surged times stronger than before. However, their pupils were turned into purple-black. Then the four Elders answered in unison, ”Yes!”
There were six or seven hundred people of the Orthodox Path came to Skygale Sect today, but only less than 30% of people left, which was a great loss. However, the most worrying thing was not this, but Patriarch Guanshan.
Patriarch Guanshan could reach the Nascent Soul Realm just when he was resurrected. His strength in the future would be even more unimaginable. At present, he just could not leave the back mountain of the Skygale Sect. But once he reformed his body, he could come and go anywhere freely. Then the whole Violet Manor would become a living hell. Even someone as powerful as Perfected Immortal Qing Chen or Master Xuanji couldn't withstand a single blow of him.
They escaped more than 100 kilometers before they stopped. Just when they stopped, Xiao Chen was about to say something but a young man sputtered, ”You are the people of the Devil's Practice. Don't say anything! If you hadn't irritated the man just now, would so many people die?”
For a moment, many people glared at Xiao Chen furiously. At this point, Xiaoyue stepped out and said, ”You are wrong. If it were not for Brother Xiao who informed me in advance, I wouldn't have known that the Skygale Sect was planning this secretly. So, in a way, I should thank Brother Xiao for going into such a dangerous place to get the truth.” Speaking of this, she nodded at Xiao Chen and smiled.
Xiao Chen unavoidably had some doubts. ”Why did this woman speak for me? Besides, I have never told her anything. Oh, right. She must want to use my strength to get rid of Patriarch Guanshan. I think Patriarch Guanshan must know a lot about the big issue happened one thousand years ago, so the Thousand Feathers Sect has to kill this person who worries them the most.”
Xiaoyue then continued, ”As for all the things happened at the stronghold of the Widespread Wintriness Sect, they were all caused by misunderstandings. Brother Xiao is not one of the Devil's Practice. He merely has cultivated a mental cultivation method which is rarely practiced by others.”
She was a disciple of the Thousand Feathers Sect within the Ancient Immortal Clan. Thus, her words carry even more weight than Master Xuanji from the Wuyin Monastery. After hearing what she said, many people put down their previous ill feelings toward Xiao Chen.
She then added, ”I believe everybody knows that the ancient cultivation method Brother Xiao has is especially effective for Patriarch Guanshan. I assume that we will have to rely on Brother Xiao in the future, won't we?” Speaking of this, she smiled at Xiao Chen once again.
Xiao Chen sneered inwardly. ”What an excellent ploy! If I don't help you in the future, then are you going to tell the entire world that I am one of the Devil's Practice?”
Of course, he would deal with Patriarch Guanshan, or else the Violet Manor would have no peace. More importantly, he sensed that the man had great hostility toward Xian'er. Meanwhile, the man even tried to take his body. By those two reasons alone, he must kill Patriarch Guanshan.
It was just that he especially disliked the way Xiaoyue behaved. So he decided that he must make Patriarch Guanshan tell him what exactly had happened one thousand years ago and how many secrets the Thousand Feathers Sect had hidden. He then said with a smile, ”You flatter me. The rise and fall of the world is everybody's concern and business. It is my bounden duty to eliminate the devil.”
Then they had a discussion. The Thousand Feathers Sect belonged to Ancient Immortal Clan so there should be no outsiders in and out. The Wuyin Monastery was a peaceful and quiet place of Buddhism, nor should it be disturbed. However, at present, it was necessary to find someone to preside over the whole situation. Then, the Jade Qing Sect in Qing Province was the only candidate left. Perfected Immortal Qing Chen was well-known and highly respected. So he was now the hot favorite to lead.
Time wouldn't wait. Yu Yifeng summoned the Flying-cloud Stone at once and they immediately rushed to the Jade Qing Sect. The two immortal-halls named Coalesced Colors and Dust looked shiny under the sun. Perfected Immortal Qing Chen and all elders were already waiting in the Coalesced Colors Hall.
On the left-hand side of Perfected Immortal Qing Chen stood a handsome gentleman with a folding fan in his hand. He looked like a man of twenty-seven or eight. This man was not someone else, but Moxuan Zi who was the fifth in the Jade Qing Seven.
Compared to his two Senior Brothers, Perfected Immortal Qing Chen and Yuheng Zi, Moxuan Zi had weaker strength. But because he achieved bodily immortality in his early years, his appearance had remained unchanged for 100 years.
An atmosphere of solemnity pervaded the hall. Yuheng Zi had already informed Perfected Immortal Qing Chen by using the mystic art: Faraway-voice Transfer. Upon seeing all the people of the Orthodox Path walking in, Perfected Immortal Qing Chen immediately got up and went out to welcome them.
After greeting a few words, they immediately started to talk about the most important thing at present. Perfected Immortal Qing Chen frowned deeply with a worried look on his face. Moxuan Zi aside wearing a slight smile said in a rare clear voice, ”Senior Brother, it is indeed as you said that the Skygale Sect was resurrecting Patriarch Guanshan for real.”
Perfected Immortal Qing Chen nodded slightly. The others in the hall also looked extremely worried. ”Now Patriarch Guanshan has reached the Nascent Soul Realm just when he woke up. At this time, even if the four holy monks Xuantong, Xuangui, Xuanji, and Xuanle of the Wuyin Monastery are gathered together, they cannot guarantee that they can successfully take him down. What's more, once Patriarch Guanshan rebuilds his body and reaches the Nirvana Realm, he will be even less likely to meet his match at that time. Unless...”
”Let me discuss this matter with my two Junior Brothers first. Please wait for a moment.” After Perfected Immortal Qing Chen said this, he went to the back hall together with Yuheng Zi and Moxuan Zi.
When they arrived at the back hall, Moxuan Zi said, ”You called Senior Brother Yuheng and me to discuss this matter with you in private. I suppose you must have got a comprehensive plan already.”
