Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

#299 - Chapter 298: The Road Home (I)

Fire Crow Taoist was very thoughtful, taking Xiao Yousong from the hall before leaving, which could be considered having someone to assist, and at the same time, vacating the Dragon King Palace for Zhang Yuanjing to talk with Yu Tianwan and Liu Yuanqing.

After paying respects to Yu and Liu, Huo Zhengkai also went to assist Fire Crow Taoist.

"To be honest, Senior Brother Yuanjing, I am very optimistic about this Huo Zhengkai, and I am thinking of taking him as a disciple after some time," Liu Yuanqing said with a smile, watching Huo Zhengkai's figure soaring into the sky with his sword. "However, this child has always been grateful to Senior Brother. Now that he has finally seen Senior Brother, he probably won't join another sect."

Zhang Yuanjing smiled and said, "It is his good fortune to be valued by Junior Brother Yuanqing. I suppose, Junior Brother and Uncle Yu came here to rescue him?"

Yu Tianwan said, "In recent years, Erlong Mountain has been jumping up and down, and the sect has long intended to dismantle it. Yuanqing and I have been planning this matter. Originally, it would take several years to take action. Unexpectedly, Huo Zhengkai was accidentally captured. Yuanqing couldn't bear to see such a talented and outstanding disciple ruined by the enemy, so he dragged me, an old Taoist, to come here to find an opportunity to save him."

He paused slightly, smiled, and said, "Speaking of which, this child is still destined to be with Yuanjing. At a critical moment, he happened to meet Yuanjing returning and was rescued easily. So, Yuanqing, accepting disciples is also about fate. Without the fate of master and disciple, it is useless to force it."

The three of them laughed and joked for a few words, and then put the matter aside.

Zhang Yuanjing asked, "What is the origin of this Erlong Mountain? The Fire Dragon King claimed to be a subordinate Taoist temple of the Zixia Sect, which is probably nonsense."

Liu Yuanqing said, "Senior Brother is right. Erlong Mountain naturally cannot have any relationship with the Zixia Sect. It is just a stronghold arranged by the Heavenly Devil Abyss."

Zhang Yuanjing had already guessed this, so he was not surprised, but remembering the sword-bearing Taoist's escape technique, he asked, "I saw a person carrying six swords, using a strange escape technique that could hide his figure and not be detected by divine sense. It is very similar to the Sword Shadow Escape of the Thousand Sword Sect. I wonder if this person is related to the Thousand Sword Sect?"

Liu Yuanqing and Yu Tianwan looked at each other, and Liu Yuanqing asked, "Where is this person now?"

Zhang Yuanjing said, "He has been killed by us."

Hearing this, Liu Yuanqing and Yu Tianwan were both overjoyed. Liu Yuanqing cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Yuanjing, for eliminating a great enemy for us."

Zhang Yuanjing quickly said, "Since he is an enemy of the sect, I should naturally kill him. There is no need to be so polite. I wonder if this person is from the Thousand Sword Sect?"

Yu Tianwan smiled and said, "That's right! Yuanjing really has good insight. The Xuan Tian cultivators have all heard of the Sword Shadow Escape of the Thousand Sword Sect, but few have seen it with their own eyes. The person Yuanjing mentioned is named Qin Feng, a disciple of a Nascent Soul True Person of the Thousand Sword Sect. He entered the late stage of Core Formation not long ago and was sent here to cooperate with the Heavenly Devil Abyss to invade our sect. He has been quite arrogant in the past ten years."

Zhang Yuanjing's expression became a little solemn: "The Thousand Sword Sect is colluding with the Heavenly Devil Abyss? This is a bit of trouble for the sect."

Yu Tianwan shook his head: "This is not just a bit of trouble, it is extremely dangerous!"

Zhang Yuanjing was shocked: "It's not that bad, is it!"

Yu Tianwan looked at Liu Yuanqing and said, "In recent years, Yuanqing has assisted the sect leader in handling important matters and is very clear about this. Why don't you tell Yuanjing about it?"

A trace of bitterness appeared on Liu Yuanqing's slightly serious face, and he sighed softly: "Everyone in the sect knows about the situation. Uncle, please speak freely."

Zhang Yuanjing realized at this time that Yu and Liu were actually led by Liu. On second thought, it was reasonable. After all, Liu Yuanqing was Tong Tianfu's first disciple and the only candidate to succeed as the sect leader, so he would naturally have more dominant power in sect affairs.

Yu Tianwan nodded, pondered for a moment, and said: "Since the disappearance of the Mustard Seed Space sixty years ago, there was a period of time when the Heavenly Devil Abyss cultivators disappeared. Everyone in the sect thought that this matter was over and they could rest easy. Unexpectedly, within ten years, the Heavenly Devil Abyss made a comeback, and its infiltration was very serious.

"It is said that a Nascent Soul中期 cultivator named Hou Nanpeng personally came to Huan Yue Mountain to preside over the invasion of our sect. True Person Tong even met with this person with the sect's treasure, the Sky Thunder Halberd, but no reconciliation was reached. Therefore, the conflict intensified, and the situation has become increasingly worse recently.

"If it's just a battle at the Core Formation level, we are not afraid. Most of the late-stage Core Formation cultivators of the Heavenly Devil Abyss fell after entering the Void Demon World that time, and there are not many remaining strong players.

"However, the Heavenly Devil Abyss has also dispatched two Nascent Soul-level combat forces, one is a Taoist True Person, and the other is a Demonic True Devil, both in the early stage, who often appear near some immortal cities or subordinate sects, slaughtering sects and destroying cities, causing panic.

"Fortunately, that early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was caught by True Person Tong and struck with the Sky Thunder Halberd, and only then did this Taoist and Devil shrink back, and the situation eased slightly."

Huan Yue Mountain is a famous mountain five million miles west of Tian Que Mountain. The Heavenly Devil Abyss established its base camp for attacking the Xuan Tian Sect here, which means that its soldiers are already very close to the Xuan Tian Sect's mountain gate.

Zhang Yuanjing suddenly remembered the Flying Sky Token and asked, "Why is the Heavenly Devil Abyss launching a large-scale invasion of our Xuan Tian Sect? Is it to find Ling Xiao and the others? Or to seize Tian Que Mountain?"

Yu Tianwan glanced at Liu Yuanqing and shook his head: "What the Heavenly Devil Abyss is saying to the outside world is to avenge Ling Xiao and dozens of other cultivators. I don't know the real reason. I think True Person Tong knows, but he has never told us Core Formation cultivators."

Back then, in the Void Demon World, Zhang Yuanjing was sent by Hu Chou to the Xuan Tian Sect cultivators. He had told everyone what Ling Xiao had said, and Yu Tianwan was among them. However, that was just what Ling Xiao said, after all. Yu Tianwan didn't really believe it, so naturally he wouldn't associate it with the Heavenly Devil Abyss's large-scale invasion today. On the contrary, Ling Xiao and the three True Persons and dozens of Core Formation cultivators disappeared along with the Mustard Seed Space, which seemed more like a reason for the Heavenly Devil Abyss to attack Tian Que Mountain.

Liu Yuanqing's expression was as usual, as if he was listening, without any intention of speaking.

Zhang Yuanjing already had the answer in his heart, knowing that the Heavenly Devil Abyss was so persistent in dealing with the Xuan Tian Sect for the sake of that so-called Flying Sky Token.

That time they entered the Mustard Seed Space, among the Xuan Tian Sect, the Heavenly Devil Abyss, and the Hou Tu Sect, only the three Core Formation cultivators of the Xuan Tian Sect survived on the surface.

In the case that the Heavenly Devil Abyss could not find Ling Xiao and the others, and the Mustard Seed Space was cleared, they could only place their hope of obtaining the Flying Sky Token on these three Core Formation cultivators of the Xuan Tian Sect.

Tong Tianfu knew about this, but he couldn't tell everyone, because this was tantamount to making Yu Tianwan and the other three who survived from the Void Demon World bear a heavy burden, as if their survival had brought disaster to the sect. In fact, these three people didn't know the whereabouts of the Flying Sky Token at all, but how could the Heavenly Devil Abyss believe it. Tong Tianfu couldn't reach an agreement with Hou Nanpeng because of this.

Moreover, even if Hou Nanpeng believed that the Xuan Tian Sect had not obtained the Flying Sky Token, and also believed that the Flying Sky Token had disappeared into the outer void along with the Mustard Seed Space, how could he dare to go back and tell the Nascent Soul cultivator behind the Heavenly Devil Abyss. This was equivalent to destroying the idea that this great power had been seeking for many years, who could bear his anger!

Therefore, they could only insist that the Flying Sky Token was obtained by the Core Formation cultivators of the Xuan Tian Sect, and launch a large-scale invasion of Tian Que Mountain, posing as if they were determined to break through the mountain and capture the people. Of course, the Heavenly Devil Abyss would not explicitly say that it was to seize the Flying Sky Token. This matter involved secrets at the Nascent Soul level, and avenging Ling Xiao and others naturally became a ready-made excuse.

Zhang Yuanjing couldn't help but sigh secretly. If he hadn't used the Flying Sky Token to trade Yang Yuan Crystals with the Hou Tu Creation Cauldron back then, and offered this thing up, the crisis in the west could have been resolved almost immediately, and the return to the mountain gate would have been unimpeded.

Unfortunately, I didn't expect this to happen back then. If I want to find it back, I don't know where that big cauldron that always calls itself "Old Man" has gone to have fun.
