Chapter 180: The Sect Harboring Remnants of the Previous Dynasty

The Battle of Xie Valley is very famous in the cultivation world of the May Tian Ce Dynasty; it was a chaotic battle that allowed Sage Realm cultivators from the three major alliances to show their faces at the same time.

The cause was the discovery of an ancient ruin there, which was an ancient battlefield.

There were many powerhouses who fell in the ancient battlefield, and the resources were also very rich.

Many cultivators rushed there upon hearing the news; at that time, Master Shangren Qingxu had also fought with True Person Master Wanfeng there.

Finally, naturally, the alliance leaders of the three major alliances all came and began to study the problem of distribution.

True Person Chiyuan heard this and also showed a look of surprise, saying: "Why didn't you say this before?"

Master Qingxu rolled his eyes at him and said: "In the past, our strength wasn't enough; what could we do if we said it? Not to mention, the Taihua Sword Sect played no small role in checking the Jiuyuan Holy Domain; now that His Majesty Li Chen is here, I naturally dare to say it."

Li Chen nodded slightly and said: "So that's how it is, but I have already declared war on the Sassan Dynasty; next, I plan to personally go to the Taihua Sword Sect to see if they want to die or live."

True Person Chiyuan and Master Qingxu heard this, and their expressions changed; hadn't they heard that the Great Ce Dynasty was at war with the Northern Royal Court? Why were they going to fight the West again?

What they didn't know was that the Third Prince Li Yu had already gone south, preparing to fight the Prince of Prince Zhennan to the death.

Li Chen looked at the two in front of him, meaning he wanted to know their attitude toward his plan.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the two of us and the Taihua Sword Sect are just cooperating and don't have much involvement."

"Your Majesty, the Taihua Sword Sect is far away; if you want to find the He He Zongzhu of the Taihua Sword Sect, the two of us will hold an alliance meeting, and he will naturally come over."

True Person Chiyuan and Master Qingxu expressed their stance very quickly; now that the two major sects were cooperating with the Great Ce Dynasty officials, their stance was definitely firm.

No matter what, they were also people of the May Tian Ce Dynasty.

Hearing them say this, Li Chen thought it was also true; alliances had special ways of contacting each other, so they would do as they said.

At that time, all the sects of the Zixiao Tiangong would be present, and he could also intimidate them.

Just as the three were drinking, an elder of the Chensha Dao Sect rushed over, making True Person Chiyuan somewhat displeased.

Didn't you see the three of us chatting? What matter is so alarming?

After this elder handed over the intelligence, True Person Chiyuan frowned.

Before the other two could speak, True Person Chiyuan said: "Strange, we haven't convened a meeting yet, but the invitation for the meeting from the Taihua Sword Sect has already been sent."

The meeting place was in the palace of the Yunluo Mountain Range, which was the station of the Zixiao Tiangong alliance, where many sects had elders stationed.

Usually, all the big and small matters of the Zixiao Tiangong were issued from inside.

Just like this time, if True Person Chiyuan wanted to convene an alliance meeting, he needed to send a message to the palace in the Yunluo Mountain Range; those inside would receive the notification and pass the message to the major sects.

This scene was somewhat abnormal, making True Person Chiyuan feel strange.

Could it be that something happened to the Taihua Sword Sect?

Li Chen told them to prepare normally for the meeting; Li Chen would also go when the time came; he really wanted to see what the Taihua Sword Sect meant.

True Person Chiyuan and Master Qingxu both agreed.

In their view, this time the Sect Master of the Taihua Sword Sect was coming over, it must be to attend a trap-laden banquet!

But they didn't expect that the Sect Master of the Taihua Sword Sect inviting them was also to attend a trap-laden banquet!

Just as the three were discussing the next countermeasures, small-scale conflicts also broke out near Shanghe City.

Near the Immortal Ancient Spirit Lake, when Li Chen and the other two Sage Realm cultivators left, the surrounding cultivators also returned, waiting for the spirit spring to gush, which would be handled by the May Tian Ce Dynasty's garrison army.

As sect people, Tang Shan, Dai Dai Xiaoyao, and the others also planned to follow the elders to Shanghe City to take on tasks.

But just at this moment, Dai Dai Xiaoyao discovered Zhu Zhu Zhuying and her party.

At this time, he hadn't realized the severity of the matter, thinking that Zhu Zhu Zhuying should have already calmed down, so he came over to persuade her to leave together.

Zhu Zhu Zhuying indicated that she already had a man and told Dai Dai Xiaoyao to be respectful.

As it happened, Lin Mo was watching the show nearby, but there was a group of women nearby, and he was the only man.

Lin Mo was also handsome, and Dai Dai Xiaoyao mistakenly thought Lin Mo was a plant Zhu Zhu Zhuying had invited to anger him.

Dai Dai Xiaoyao pointed at Lin Mo domineeringly and said: "Kid, I don't care where you come from; if you don't want to be beaten, get lost."

As a member of the royal family of a small country, that innate domineering spirit was still there.

He couldn't compare to someone like Li Chen, but he was still very aggressive compared to others.

Lin Mo was stunned at the time; what did I do? Why are you scolding me like this?

I am a son of destiny; even if I carry a taunt, I can't be hit like this, right?

Zhu Zhu Zhuying explained: "This has nothing to do with him."

This explanation actually didn't have much of a problem; Lin Mo felt it was very normal; it originally had nothing to do with him.

He also knew that the one surnamed Dai in front of him was a wretch who had been cuckolded, and he revealed a smile at the thought of this.

But the problem was, he smiled like that, and in Dai Dai Xiaoyao's eyes, it was the feeling of a villain succeeding.

Dai Dai Xiaoyao pointed at Lin Mo and cursed: "What are you laughing at? If you have the guts, come out and fight one-on-one! Don't hide in a pile of women!"

Lin Mo also got angry at this time; I stood here today and didn't do anything; I let you provoke me the first time, but you dare to come a second time; are you looking for a beating?

"What are you pretending to be, outsider? If I don't beat you to waste today, I'll take your surname!" Lin Mo also started a cursing war.

Still the same sentence, except for Li Chen, he didn't fear anyone in the same age group.

The two went from verbal abuse to fighting.

Dai Dai Xiaoyao was not as strong as Lin Mo and was quickly defeated.

Before leaving, Dai Dai Xiaoyao told Lin Mo to wait; he was going to call people.

In Dai Dai Xiaoyao's view, perhaps only Tang Shan could deal with Lin Mo.

Just now, Tang Shan wasn't there because he saw Lin Mo and was afraid of being recognized.

After Dai Dai Xiaoyao ran away, Lin Mo didn't have the pleasure of winning; he was extremely depressed in his heart.

I haven't even touched a woman, yet I was beaten as an adulterer.

If you have the guts, go hit Li Chen!

Lin Mo knew about this kind of thing, but it was hard to explain.

But he knew that once he explained, the opposite side might not even dare to talk big.

Don't ask; asking means Lin Mo's own sweetheart was snatched away, and he didn't dare to express dissatisfaction in front of Li Chen either.

However, seeing others being cuckolded, his mood was indeed much better; at least he and Jiang Rong didn't have any relationship.

Lin Mo was a person who could figure things out for himself.

There was no way even if he couldn't figure it out; that was Li Chen.

If he didn't want to die, he could only figure it out.

True Person Chiyuan and Master Qingxu could figure it out; Lin Mo felt he didn't count for anything.

It is estimated that after a period of time, Dai Dai Xiaoyao would receive the buff of breaking off the engagement and start to possess luck.

In the west of the Great Ce Dynasty, at the junction with other countries, there stood a magnificent and vast sect, the Taihua Sword Sect.

The founder of the Taihua Sword Sect was a Sword Dao Supreme who suppressed an era; in order to pass down his skills, he established the Taihua Sword Sect.

The purpose of the Taihua Sword Sect was to transcend the secular world and comprehend supreme sword intent.

This was also why the founder chose a location in a place without any national jurisdiction.

After the founder passed down his skills and his legend spread in the world, he ascended to the Immortal Realm.

Since he was someone who could ascend, his strength could be imagined.

The internal competition of the Taihua Sword Sect was also very cruel; whoever was more outstanding could obtain opportunities and ascend to the supreme realm.

The He He Zongzhu of this generation was very mysterious; it was said that his face was injured in a battle, so he always wore a mask.

In the end, he even wore a cloak, and that face was hidden in the dark void.

Giving people a mysterious and unpredictable feeling.

Today, a Sage Realm powerhouse came to the Taihua Sword Sect; he was a member of the Sassan Dynasty royal family.

The war letter from the Emperor of the May Tian Ce Dynasty had already been sent, so the Sassan Dynasty simply stopped acting and prepared to start this battle for supremacy.

The royal family of the Sassan Dynasty received invitations from both the Northern Royal Court and the Prince of Prince Zhennan of the May Tian Ce Dynasty, and coupled with the idea of moving east, it could be seen from the mobilization of the Sassan Dynasty's army.

They should want to take advantage of the chaos to occupy a large area of land and realize territorial expansion.

Which Emperor didn't want to leave a name in history? Being able to expand the territory would definitely be a good name for ten thousand generations.

The Empress of the Sassan Dynasty was a very ambitious person; before the official war, she must make full preparations.

Winning over the Taihua Sword Sect on the border line was one of the good choices.

With one more Sage Realm powerhouse helping, there would be one more point of certainty when facing the Sage Realm powerhouse of the May Tian Ce Dynasty.

The May Tian Ce Dynasty had the most Sage Realm cultivators; this was recognized.

And after occupying the territory of the May Tian Ce Dynasty, how to solve the stability problem of the local sects also needed to be considered.

It can be said that the Empress of the Sassan Dynasty considered very thoroughly; she hadn't fought yet, but she had already started thinking about what to do after occupying it.

The reason why the royal family of the Sassan Dynasty was so arrogant was because they also produced a supreme Sage Realm Great Perfection powerhouse.

Being able to make other Sage Realm cultivators run errands, only a Sage Realm Great Perfection could do it. The Empress of the Sassan Dynasty could be called Emperor, and she was actually about the same as Li Chen; the moment she cultivated to Great Perfection, coupled with her bloodline, no one could question her.

Actually, the Empress still had some numbers in her heart; she didn't think she could swallow the entire May Tian Ce Dynasty, just wanted to occupy a piece of land, and then slowly develop, slowly planning.

Li Chen's idea was simpler: directly occupy the Sassan Dynasty, and handle the subsequent troubles slowly; anyway, there were plenty of talents under his command.

In Li Chen's view, I was already merciful not to go and hit you, yet you dare to hit my idea?

At this moment, in the main hall of the Taihua Sword Sect, the Sect Master, Venerable Youhen, and the Sage Realm powerhouse of the Sassan Dynasty had been chatting for a long time.

No matter what Venerable Youhen's bloodline or identity was, as the Sect Master of the Taihua Sword Sect, the first principle he considered in doing things was what benefits the Taihua Sword Sect could obtain from this matter, and how to make the benefits he obtained more.

He wouldn't lean toward the Sassan Dynasty, nor would he care about the May Tian Ce Dynasty; he was just considering the development of his own sect.

This was the basic principle of becoming a He He Zongzhu.

The He He Zongzhu was definitely for the development and inheritance of his own force; if not, the sect wouldn't be strong all along.

At least in the eyes of the He He Zongzhu, the sect belonged to them, and they wouldn't trade it for any official position.

Being a He He Zongzhu, one could mobilize a large group of loyal cultivators and become a powerhouse.

!

The price offered by the Sassan Dynasty was very high, and Zunzhe Youhen Zunzhe Youhen Zunzhe was very moved.

And he didn't have to participate in military operations, just responsible for taking action when the May Tian Ce Dynasty sent out Sage Realm cultivators.

Even if the Sassan Dynasty lost, he wouldn't have any losses.

Because in his view, the sect was above the secular world; even if the May Tian Ce Dynasty won, they wouldn't have nothing to do and come to attack the Taihua Sword Sect.

In short, he wanted to make war money.

Anyway, the Taihua Sword Sect didn't belong to any country; helping anyone was fine.

In order to obtain more benefits, Zunzhe Youhen Zunzhe Youhen Zunzhe said: "If I help you stabilize the other two major sects in the west in advance, or even win them over to help, what reward will you give me?"

This sentence made the Sage Realm powerhouse of the Sassan Dynasty's eyes light up; having territory meant being able to obtain endless resources, so they would provide resources for a long time to let the Taihua Sword Sect develop and grow.

The Sage Realm powerhouse of the Sassan Dynasty was also an old fox; he used the word "long-term."

The so-called long-term meant you had to help first, and I would give it to you after I won.

Instead of you saying I'll give you a deposit first, what if you don't help later?

However, there was one point; the Sage Realm powerhouse of the Sassan Dynasty expressed doubt, and he asked: "Can the other Sage Realm cultivators of the May Tian Ce Dynasty really help?"

Zunzhe Youhen Zunzhe Youhen Zunzhe, whose face was hidden in the void of the cloak, seemed to be smiling: "Rest assured, when the time comes, whether they help or not will not be up to them."

This was the main reason why Zunzhe Youhen Zunzhe Youhen Zunzhe convened the Zixiao Tiangong alliance meeting; he just wanted to pit True Person Chiyuan and Master Shangren Qingxu.

What he didn't expect was that True Person Chiyuan and Master Shangren Qingxu also wanted to pit him.

Originally, True Person Chiyuan and Master Shangren Qingxu wanted to help Li Chen pit him; as sect cultivators, they had to talk about morality, and they were a bit embarrassed; once they knew this guy wanted to pit them, they probably wouldn't be embarrassed anymore.

On the other side, when Li Chen and the other two Sage Realm cultivators were discussing how to go to the Zixiao Tiangong alliance meeting, Lin Lin Yue'e brought people to the Chensha Dao Sect, saying she had matters to report to Li Chen.

Normally, government officials couldn't enter the Chensha Dao Sect; there were quite a few people wanted by the imperial court in the Chensha Dao Sect.

But it was different now; the Chensha Dao Sect had already reached cooperation with the May Tian Ce Dynasty officials, and after notifying them, she went straight in.

Lin Lin Yue'e also became the first government official to step into the Chensha Dao Sect in the last hundred years of the May Tian Ce Dynasty.

Li Chen naturally didn't count as a government official; he was just an Emperor.

Lin Lin Yue'e followed the elder of the Chensha Dao Sect to the place where Li Chen was drinking.

Looking at her appearance, she should have matters to report, but there were two outsiders beside Li Chen, so she didn't know whether to say it for a while.

"It's fine, just say it directly," Li Chen said casually.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the announcement for the reward for the remnants of the previous dynasty in the city was just issued, and someone provided a clue."

Lin Lin Yue'e, as the City Supervisor, was responsible for this aspect of the problem; according to her, a rogue cultivator came to report the case, saying that the Tianlang Sect was harboring dozens of remnants of the previous dynasty.

That rogue cultivator also said that the protective formation of the Tianlang Sect was very peculiar and would only be activated on the night of the full moon.

At that time, people from the Tianlang Sect would come out from inside, and people from outside would be able to go in.

Now there were still seven days until the night of the full moon; Lin Lin Yue'e was afraid that this group of people would escape after getting the news, so she came to ask Li Chen if there was any way to force entry into the Tianlang Sect.

It is said that these remnants of the previous dynasty in the Tianlang Sect had extraordinary strength, so their status must be high; as long as they caught these dozens of remnants of the previous dynasty, they could know more news from their mouths and catch more people.

Then for the force striking the remnants of the previous dynasty in the west of the May Tian Ce Dynasty, it was a major breakthrough.

There was more than just Shanghe City in the west, and there were many cities nearby.

"Special formation?" Li Chen was relatively home-bound and didn't have much research on these yet.

But there was a formation expert right in front of him.

Master Shangren Qingxu, as a person of the orthodox Taoist lineage, had studied these very deeply.

He said: "The founder of the Tianlang Sect was a Sage Realm cultivator; the protective formation he created used the essence of the moon as a guide and the yang energy of the sun as an aid; starting it requires satisfying many conditions..."

Master Shangren Qingxu talked for a long time, and True Person Chiyuan beside him couldn't listen anymore, thinking to himself, what are you showing off, so he interrupted: "Just say it directly, how to open the formation."

Master Shangren Qingxu was a bit angry; I didn't say anything when you were bragging just now; it was hard for me to show off once, and you are stirring up trouble.

If Li Chen weren't here, he would have had to cure True Person Chiyuan's bad habit.

"Actually, it's also very simple; I have a formation here that can just happen to destroy the protective formation of the Tianlang Sect."

He said it very simply; in fact, it required two or more Sage Realm cultivators to start it.

There happened to be three here; in order to show favor to Li Chen, the two of them decided to go together.

On the way to the Tianlang Sect, Li Chen learned from Master Shangren Qingxu that the Tianlang Sect was in a semi-reclusive state.

There were about 170 cultivators inside, which was considered a sect of decent scale.

As for why Master Shangren Qingxu knew so much about the protective formation of the Tianlang Sect, it was because the former He He Zongzhu of the Tianlang Sect had old ties with him, and he didn't go to the Tianlang Sect less when he was young.

Speaking of this, True Person Chiyuan teased: "Researching other people's protective formation because you have old ties with them, right?"

He was ready to be scolded by Master Shangren Qingxu, but Master Shangren Qingxu just sighed and said: "Perhaps that guy guessed that it might develop to this point; she took the initiative to let me study it."

Master Shangren Qingxu's expression seemed to be in a beautiful past.

Li Chen guessed that the former He He Zongzhu of the Tianlang Sect should be a woman, and she was very beautiful.

At that time, Master Shangren Qingxu was young, definitely admired the beauty, and kept running to her sect.

Then it was another heart-wrenching love story.

Listening to Master Shangren Qingxu's tone, this ending was also very tragic, because he mentioned that the person was the "former He He Zongzhu," proving that she might no longer be in the world.

Usually, when hearing this kind of link, Li Chen didn't want to ask, because as long as he asked, this guy would talk non-stop.

But the problem was, he didn't ask, and Master Shangren Qingxu was like an NPC, triggering some dialogue, and started talking to himself.

Li Chen was right beside him and couldn't skip!

Master Shangren Qingxu really started from the beginning, first bragging about how powerful he was back then, and then getting to know the Tianlang Sect He He Zongzhu in a ruin.

The Tianlang Sect He He Zongzhu was only an ordinary outer sect disciple at that time; her body was not good, and her constitution was also very poor; she would vomit blood at every turn, but she cultivated very hard.

Master Shangren Qingxu would often send her some tonics and elixirs.

The requirement of the Tianlang Sect was not very high; one could inherit the He He Zongzhu at the Heavenly Abyss Realm, but the Yuxu Immortal Mansion required the Sage Realm.

In order to help Master Shangren Qingxu break through to the Sage Realm, the Tianlang Sect He He Zongzhu accompanied him to the ancient ruins to look for heavenly opportunities.

That was a very deep underground ruin, and there were quite a few ancient demonic corpses inside, extremely fierce.

At that time, the two of them had already obtained the treasure and were preparing to come out.

But they still triggered the mechanism, letting the ancient demonic corpses wake up, and there were even Sage Realm ancient demonic corpses.

In order to cover for Master Shangren Qingxu, the Tianlang Sect He He Zongzhu took the initiative to attract the Sage Realm ancient demonic corpse.

Speaking of this, Master Shangren Qingxu sighed again, his tone somewhat sorrowful.

Li Chen and True Person Chiyuan beside him were silent.

Sacrificing oneself for others and achieving Master Shangren Qingxu's Sage Realm cultivation, it could be counted as a good story.

True Person Chiyuan comforted him: "The dead cannot be resurrected; presumably she sees you have such achievements, and her spirit in heaven can also be comforted."

Who knew Master Shangren Qingxu would say: "What nonsense are you talking about? She has become my Taoist companion now, and the person is in the Yuxu Immortal Mansion."

Li Chen: "..."

True Person Chiyuan: "..."

Damn you, you talked for a long time just to show off your love!

Finally managed to show off!

The reason Master Shangren Qingxu sighed was because not every man was as strong as Li Chen; the mother wolf of the Tianlang Star, Master Shangren Qingxu really couldn't handle it!

As they chatted, they arrived at the area where the Tianlang Sect was located.
