Chapter 71 The Arrival of the Saints
Faced with a behemoth possessing an ultimate imperial weapon, no one could remain calm, not even the leader of the Tai Xuan Sect.
He was unaware of Hua Yunfei's actions in the Northern Region, and even less aware that the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron had already fallen into Hua Yunfei's hands.
Therefore, how Tai Xuan Sect would deal with the ruthless lineage's retaliation became his primary concern.
Faced with the sect leader's concerns, Hua Yunfei hesitated for a moment and had no choice but to invoke the God King, saying that the God King could now kill saints and was a powerful ally he had specially invited.
I will stay at the Tai Xuan Sect for a while longer this time to keep the sect leader in check.
Although the Tai Xuan Sect Leader should be trusted, it's best not to reveal that he possesses two Imperial Weapons. Keep it as a trump card; it might have unexpected effects at a crucial moment.
After leaving the main hall, Hua Yunfei sighed. Originally, he had come back mainly to accompany the God King to Zhuofeng and to purge the traitors in Taixuan Sect.
Judging from Ma Shan's current actions, the Ruthless Clan is likely to have other plans.
This forced him to stay there.
Hua Yunfei had originally planned to temporarily put aside his grudges with them and instead go after the Emperor's son.
After all, the Yaochi Conference will be held in a year or two.
If, as in the past timeline, the Heavenly Emperor's son was taken away by an ancient clan expert during the Yaochi Assembly, then it would be much more difficult for Hua Yunfei to plot against him again.
Although the descendants of the Eight Divine Generals had been slaughtered by Zhang Lin, the Immortal Emperor's fame resounded throughout the ages, and there were quite a few ancient clans willing to risk their lives for the Emperor's son.
If he had arrived late, the phoenix inside the stone would have truly flown away.
Hua Yunfei frowned. The God King was no longer able to engage in fierce battles with others.
His life force has been depleted. Whether he fights a saint or activates an imperial weapon, it will deplete his already limited life force.
After much deliberation, Hua Yunfei decided to make a trip to the Divine City.
……
A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The most attention-grabbing thing during this month was, of course, the various events concerning Zishan in the Northern Region.
After gathering from various sacred sites and probing several times, they discovered that Purple Mountain was fraught with danger and were already discussing how to cooperate.
However, what puzzled the holy lands was that the Yao Guang Holy Land was not very enthusiastic about this matter. Although several powerful figures came, their Holy Lord Li Daoqing and other important figures did not come.
When asked, he said he was in seclusion and refused to use the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron.
The Yao Guang Holy Land's behavior inevitably drew ridicule from other holy lands, who all said they were terrified after being defeated in the recent war against the demon race.
The powerful figures from the Yao Guang Holy Land who were present had no choice but to remain expressionless throughout the entire event.
In the past month, only one thing happened at the Tai Xuan Sect: the sect leader announced that two Supreme Elders had suffered qi deviations during their seclusion and passed away.
All the disciples of the Tai Xuan Sect were deeply saddened upon hearing the tragic news.
Yao Guang Holy Land.
In the main hall where Yao Xi, the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang, resides, Weiwei is plotting with her.
"Senior Sister, are you sure it's the Tai Xuan Sect?" Weiwei asked in disbelief.
"The clues I know all point to them in the end." Yao Xi looked puzzled and unsure.
These past few days, Yao Xi and Weiwei have been secretly observing the movements of the ruthless faction.
They discovered that they cared a great deal about the news of the Tai Xuan Sect, almost as much as the Northern Region's Zi Shan.
Especially after the news of the passing of two great masters of the Tai Xuan Sect spread, it seemed to have sparked a small-scale discussion within the sect.
Yao Xi quickly noticed something unusual about this matter. Combining this with her previous conjecture, she immediately connected the possibility that the fall of Yao Guang Saint Lord Li Daoqing and others was related to the Tai Xuan Sect.
They initially thought it was the work of other holy lands, since ordinary people don't even have the qualifications to be enemies with the ruthless lineage.
"Perhaps it's the Tai Xuan Sect! If they accidentally learned about the various things at Zishan and used some means to lure the Holy Lord and the others in, that would make sense."
Yao Xi muttered to herself, and Weiwei nodded in agreement, agreeing that such a guess was reasonable.
As for why the Tai Xuan Sect and the Ruthless Clan became enemies, neither of them bothered to think about it, since it was normal for the Ruthless Clan to have all sorts of enemies.
"So the passing of these two powerful figures from the Tai Xuan Sect wasn't an accident, but rather an act of revenge by the Ruthless Sect?"
Weiwei spoke up, and then the two women frowned at the same time, feeling that something was not right.
They then realized that the problem lay in the vast difference in strength between the two sides.
If it was truly the work of the Tai Xuan Sect, the ruthless lineage's revenge would not have been limited to just causing them to lose two powerful figures.
With a single strike from the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, the Tai Xuan Sect ceased to exist.
"No matter what, I'll still try to find out more about the Tai Xuan Sect." Yao Xi made up her mind.
They have limited information and can only guess at many things.
It is unclear whether all of this was caused by Hua Yunfei.
After all, the fact that Hua Yunfei was being raised as a demonic fetus by the ruthless lineage was only known within their own circle, and it was impossible for outsiders to know these secrets.
As for the Ruthless Clan losing the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, the two women would never know, as the Ruthless Clan had kept this news tightly under wraps.
Even if they knew, they probably wouldn't believe it, since they had never heard of any immortal lineage losing an imperial weapon.
……
At night, as usual, Xingfeng receives the starlight that falls from the sky for its disciples to cultivate.
A dark cloud slowly approached Star Peak. At first glance, it seemed normal, but as it drew nearer, the starlight was blocked, and the entire Star Peak was plunged into darkness.
This is unprecedented. For many years, Xingfeng has been a white expanse even at night. It has never been so completely shrouded in darkness as it is now.
All the cultivators on and around Star Peak were terrified. They lost all senses at that moment, and even their divine senses were clouded.
A large, pitch-black hand emerged from the darkness and reached out to grab the main hall where Hua Yunfei was.
With a loud crash, the main hall shattered, but Hua Yunfei was nowhere to be seen inside.
"snort!"
A cold snort rang out, as if the person who made the move in the shadows had anticipated it.
A figure landed in front of the main hall. Despite the unfavorable situation, he did not retreat immediately, but instead coldly surveyed his surroundings, which was enough to demonstrate his confidence in his own strength.
Just as Ji Yang, the sage of the Ruthless lineage, was preparing for his next move, an aged figure suddenly caught his eye out of the corner of his eye.
Ji Yang was startled. What level of cultivation did he possess? He had stood at the Saint Realm for many years, not far from becoming a Saint King, yet he had not noticed when this old man had appeared.
Ji Yang was utterly bewildered; at that moment, he knew he was in deep trouble!
"Who are you, fellow Daoist?"
Ji Yang asked in a deep voice.
The old man in front of him was an ordinary-looking man, with nothing special about him. The more ordinary he looked, the more uneasy Ji Yang felt, which meant that the man's cultivation was far superior to his own.
"Wei Yi!"
The old man opposite spoke, his voice calm and unassuming, without any imposing manner.
Ji Yang didn't know what the name "Wei Yi" represented. He was an ancient person who had only recently been resurrected from the divine source and had not made any special effort to learn about the past of a destroyed holy land.
"Jiang Mian died at your hands?" Ji Yang said in a deep voice.
Wei Yi shook his head and didn't say anything more. Given his status, he didn't need to explain anything to Ji Yang.
At this moment, a figure emerged from the darkness and came to Wei Yi's side; it was Hua Yunfei.
Ji Yang stared intently at Hua Yunfei, his eyes blazing with murderous intent, and said, enunciating each word clearly, "You little brat, did you orchestrate all of this?"
"Is the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron, the imperial weapon of my clan, on your person?"
