Chapter 463

Late at night.

Outside the Master Xuanwei Sect, in the vast Ten Thousand Mountains.

Xuan Yu walked very slowly alone.

No expression could be seen on his face, and the dead leaves under his feet were crunched with a creaking sound.

About a stick of incense later.

More than ten figures appeared before him.

A trace of ripples finally appeared on Daoist Xuan Yu's face.

And among those ten or so figures, one young cultivator was particularly eye-catching.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Yu, True Person Qing Ding has gone to the South Sea; tonight is the best time to act."

Ji Lei said with a smile.

Daoist Xuan Yu was silent and said nothing.

But his appearance here already explained everything.

Naturally, it was he who leaked the whereabouts of True Person Qing Ding.

The movement of the South Sea Immortal Gate meant that not only True Person Qing Ding had gone, but almost all the First-Rank experts in the Master Xuanwei Sect had gone, leaving only one Supreme Elder to guard it.

It was the best time to act.

Ji Lei laughed: "Fellow Daoist Xuan Yu, rest assured, how could I ask you to slaughter your fellow disciples? It's just killing a Yu Kingdom official; after it's done, we will leave."

Daoist Xuan Yu nodded:

"I have already found a gap in the array; there are only ten breaths."

"Ten breaths?"

The smile at the corners of Ji Lei's mouth deepened: "Enough."

During this period.

On the surface, it was the North Pole Demon Sect hunting Master Xuanwei Sect disciples, but in reality, it was all just a cover to open a corner of the Master Xuanwei Sect's mountain-protecting array for Daoist Xuan Yu.

Their target was actually Xue Yang, who was ranked 113th on the Earth Ranking.

This person was an array master.

And Xue Yang's master was the one who participated in setting up the Master Xuanwei Sect's mountain-protecting array.

The others were just to cover up the real target.

It was all for the method to enter the Master Xuanwei Sect's mountain-protecting array.

Daoist Xuan Yu completely acquiesced to this matter.

His disciples could be killed?

Others' disciples couldn't be killed?

There was no such logic in the world.

Moreover, those demon cultivators driven by the North Pole Immortal Sect to attack the Master Xuanwei Sect had all been killed by him.

It could be considered revenge.

Over the years, he had traveled everywhere to slay demons and devils, wiping out the enemies of the Master Xuanwei Sect; the kindness had long been repaid, and even if it hadn't been repaid enough, that was only towards True Person Qing Ding alone; others were not in this category.

Not to mention those Master Xuanwei Sect disciples he had never even seen.

Not letting this group of people wreak havoc on the Master Xuanwei Sect was already the last thing he did to repay True Person Qing Ding.

Afterwards.

He would have no more ties with the Master Xuanwei Sect.

There would be no more Daoist Xuan Yu in the world, only a half-demon of the Myriad Dharma Hall.

Ji Lei: "Fellow Daoist Xuan Yu, when the array opens, I will ask a few fellow Daoists to use a talisman array to block that Old Monster Lan for ten breaths; you and the remaining few fellow Daoists will join forces to kill that Yu Kingdom official."

Daoist Xuan Yu looked indifferent and agreed without thinking.

Indeed.

Their target was precisely Changqing Peak.

After tonight, there would not be a single living person left on Changqing Peak.

He had never liked that official named Li Rui anyway; since killing Li Rui could let the North Pole Demon Sect send him to the Immortal Realm, there was absolutely no reason not to agree.

Daoist Xuan Yu also understood why the North Pole Immortal Sect wanted to take action against Li Rui.

It wasn't that Li Rui himself had such great ability.

It was Li Rui's identity.

The official garrisoned by the Yu Kingdom at the Master Xuanwei Sect.

The relationship between the Master Xuanwei Sect and the Yu Kingdom imperial court was already delicate; if Li Rui died on the Master Xuanwei Sect's territory, the relationship between the two sides would definitely worsen, and as far as he knew, Li Rui had a not-insignificant status in the Yu Kingdom capital.

And apart from Li Rui, Yuan Dingting's only son was also on Changqing Peak.

That was enough for the North Pole Immortal Sect to harbor murderous intent.

The North Pole Immortal Sect and the Yu Kingdom army had been fighting in the Northern Plains for several years.

Naturally, they didn't want to see the Master Xuanwei Sect and the various immortal sects have too good a relationship.

If they could slaughter everyone on Changqing Peak.

They could use this to prove the North Pole Immortal Sect's determination.

They would kill everyone the Yu Kingdom was on good terms with, even if they were ten thousand miles away; they would make the Yu Kingdom's foreign-posted officials a high-risk profession, so that if other immortal sects wanted to join forces with the Yu Kingdom in the future, they would have to weigh it carefully.

And Li Rui and Yuan An both had high statuses in the Yu Kingdom; when the time came, it might even cause the relationship between the Yu Kingdom imperial court and the Master Xuanwei Sect to break.

That would be even better.

'Blame your bad luck.'

Ji Lei smiled in his heart.

Originally, he had harbored murderous intent towards Li Rui, but had put it aside due to the situation.

But he hadn't expected.

The situation would turn around, and Li Rui would die by his hand after all.

It was just that Li Rui was destined to have this tribulation.

Counting it up.

That person named Li Rui had escaped several murderous tribulations.

But everything would end here.

With Daoist Xuan Yu, a Heavenly Phenomenon expert, plus ten Profound Understanding Realm experts, he really couldn't find a reason for Li Rui to escape alive.

Tonight, Li Rui must die!

Let the Yu Kingdom see the thunderous means of the North Pole Immortal Sect.

On the other end.

On Daoist Zi Yang Peak.

"Hmm?"

Old Daoist Daoist Zi Yang slowly opened his eyes from his seated state, his pupils filled with doubt, and he muttered to himself: "Why do I feel so uneasy?"

Tonight.

He had been meditating and cultivating as usual.

But no matter what, he couldn't enter a state of meditation.

This made him suspicious.

'Could it be a premonition of something?'

Cultivators, especially those who had reached the Profound Understanding Realm, could sense the power of heaven and earth, so sometimes changes in their state could be seen as a warning of danger.

But precisely because of this, Old Daoist Daoist Zi Yang was even more suspicious in his heart.

This was the Master Xuanwei Sect.

Not to mention the countless powerhouses within the sect, just the mountain-protecting array alone could block even a First-Rank expert for quite some time.

How could there be danger?

'Could it be that something happened to my apprentice?'

But just as Old Daoist Daoist Zi Yang was pondering whether it had anything to do with the recent demon cultivator matter.

Knock, knock, knock.

The door was knocked.

Then a familiar voice came: "Tao Shidi, it's me."

Old Daoist Daoist Zi Yang slowly stood up.

He recognized it was the voice of his Second Senior Brother, Xuan Yu.

Senior Brother Xuan Wei had followed Master to the South Sea, so the sect's affairs were now coordinated by Xuan Yu.

Regarding this Second Senior Brother of his.

Daoist Zi Yang was quite troubled.

When Senior Brother Xuan Wei was around, he would restrain himself and not do anything out of line, but once Master and Senior Brother were out, the Master Xuanwei Sect under Xuan Yu's rule had no shortage of conflicts.

Regarding this, Daoist Xuan Yu generally either didn't care, or when he did, he would beat people until they were injured or dead.

'Second Senior Brother has a special background, so it's normal for his temperament to be a bit strange.'

Old Daoist Daoist Zi Yang thought.

The fact that Daoist Xuan Yu was a half-demon was unknown to the outside world, but they, the fellow apprentices, all knew.

Although Daoist Xuan Yu was a half-demon, he ultimately carried the ferocity of a demon beast.

Thinking this.

He pushed the door open.

Sure enough, he saw Daoist Xuan Yu standing before the door.

"Senior Brother."

Old Daoist Daoist Zi Yang bowed to Daoist Xuan Yu.

Daoist Xuan Yu grunted, then walked into the room, and with a thought, the door closed by itself.

Seeing Daoist Xuan Yu's actions, a look of surprise flashed in Old Daoist Daoist Zi Yang's eyes.

"Senior Brother?"

He called out again.

Then he heard Daoist Xuan Yu speak: "Tao Shidi, when Master returns, Senior Brother has some words for you to pass on for me."

Old Daoist Daoist Zi Yang was still wondering why Xuan Yu didn't wait for True Person Qing Ding to return and say it himself—

When he suddenly widened his eyes.

He saw a golden rope fly out from Daoist Xuan Yu's sleeve, binding him with lightning speed.

His magic power dissipated in an instant.

Old Daoist Daoist Zi Yang looked at Daoist Xuan Yu in disbelief.

He never expected that his Senior Brother would seal him; at this moment, he couldn't move his hands, couldn't speak, and couldn't use his magic power.

Daoist Xuan Yu finished all this, and then spoke:

"Tao Shidi, Master took me in and raised me; I can never repay this kindness in my whole life, and I have no chance to repay it."

"I am a half-demon, and ultimately different from you all."

"You can go to the upper sects, but I cannot; Master doesn't dislike me, but that doesn't mean the upper sects will either; my path ultimately doesn't lie here."

"Master once said that among all things in the world, only the Dao is supreme; if one hears the Dao in the morning, one can die in the evening."

"Tao Shidi, please tell Master to pretend he never took me in as an apprentice."

After speaking.

Daoist Xuan Yu left without a second thought.

In this realm, he could become a big figure in the Master Xuanwei Sect because True Person Qing Ding had the final say, but in the future, when they went to the Immortal Realm, his master would definitely be in a dilemma.

This was what Master called the difference in paths.

Rather than letting Master be in a dilemma, it was better to leave now.

Watching Xuan Yu leave.

Anxiety flashed in Old Daoist Daoist Zi Yang's eyes.

Although his Second Senior Brother didn't say it explicitly, he vaguely guessed that Xuan Yu was going to betray his master and ancestors!

'Foolish.'

Old Daoist Daoist Zi Yang became increasingly impatient.

But then, he sighed again.

Asking himself, if he were in Senior Brother Xuan Yu's situation, what would he do?

There were too many people in the world who killed their masters for the sake of the Great Dao; by comparison, Xuan Yu had already considered the kindness of his master, so he hadn't taken action against him, his Tao Shidi.

Old Daoist Daoist Zi Yang was sealed in the room.

About a quarter of an hour passed.

A furious roar from an old man suddenly echoed over the Master Xuanwei Sect: "Rat, how dare you come to my Master Xuanwei Sect to cause trouble, die!"

That voice rang out.

The shock in Old Daoist Daoist Zi Yang's eyes deepened.

Because he recognized that the owner of that voice was the First-Rank Supreme Elder currently guarding the Master Xuanwei Sect, Daoist Lan!

Xuan Yu had actually provoked the fury of a First-Rank Supreme Elder.

'Senior Brother, what on earth have you done?'

At the same time.

On Changqing Peak.

Li Rui, who had been meditating and cultivating, slowly opened his eyes.

"Someone is here?"

Through the array, he sensed that several powerful existences were at the foot of Changqing Peak.

And just then.

Daoist Lan's voice echoed over the Master Xuanwei Sect.

Li Rui's expression instantly became solemn.

It was also at this moment that he sensed the figure of Daoist Xuan Yu among the people at the foot of the mountain.

His heart sank.

Daoist Xuan Yu was going to defect!
