Chapter 419: Please invite the ancestor to leave seclusion

After breakfast, the disciples began packing, preparing to set off for the East Literature Palace.

Meanwhile, Shen Xian, who had been savoring the morning's flavor, was now filled with extreme regret.

"Turns out you've been eating this kind of celestial delicacy all along."

"Junior Brother Changqing, hello, I'm Shen Xian, a third disciple of Wen Yuan Peak."

"Celestial?"

"No, it's Shen Xian."

"Senior Brother, is there something you need?"

"No, no, I just feel that meeting you, Junior Brother Changqing, is like meeting an old friend; if anything comes up in the future, Junior Brother, just give the order—I'll go through blades and fire, Senior Brother won't refuse."

"Uh............"

Shen Xian was actually quite clever, knowing who the protagonist was; thus, having just broken free from Xu Jie's restraints, he kept trying to get close to Ye Zhangqing.

Seeing his fawning look, Xu Jie, who had somehow appeared behind him, let out a cold laugh and said.

"Blades and fire? Junior Brother, you really have that resolve?"

Hearing that, Shen Xian turned his head, saw it was Xu Jie, and gave an embarrassed smile.

"Hehe, that's for sure—from now on, anything concerning Junior Brother Changqing is my business."

Seeing his expression, Xu Jie coldly snorted, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

Leaning in to Shen Xian's ear, Xu Jie whispered.

"Shen Lao San, I warn you: you can eat, but you must follow the rules, otherwise..........."

I thought it was a one-sided warning, but Shen Xian didn't let Xu Jie finish, and likewise whispered into his ear.

"Xu Lao San, I will naturally observe the rules, and I've also noted today's affairs; moreover, the last time I went to One Yuan City's pleasure quarters to listen to music, I fronted the money—pay me back."

"Huh???"

The two locked eyes, both holding a faint chill in their gazes; Ye Zhangqing, seeing them whispering nearby, asked doubtfully.

"What's up, Senior Brothers?"

"Oh, nothing, I just haven't seen Junior Brother Shen in a while."

"Haha, yeah, Junior Brother Changqing, you don't know—back then, my relationship with Senior Brother Xu was really good; we entered the Dao Yi Sect together, saying we had a bond that could sacrifice our lives is no exaggeration."

"Hehe, yeah, a bond that could sacrifice our lives."

Although they laughed hehe, appearing on the surface to have a good relationship, Ye Zhangqing always felt something was off.

"Husband, let's go."

However, at that moment Bai Hua Xianzi called out; Ye Zhangqing didn't dwell on it, greeted the two, and then turned and left.

After Ye Zhangqing left, the smiles on both their faces vanished simultaneously, and Xu Jie coldly said.

"Junior Brother Changqing is my Divine Sword Peak disciple."

"I know."

"Junior Brother, don't narrow your path."

"Senior Brother, rest assured, my path has always been broad."

"Then that's good."

As the disciples finished packing, Hong Zun put away his spiritual city; in an instant, over a hundred thousand demon beasts shot into the sky—the scene was practically a beast tide.

"Xiaohei."

"Here, Peak Master."

"East Literature Palace."

Hong Zun ordered the Black Tiger Demon King; these over a hundred thousand spirit beasts are now managed by the Black Tiger.

Don't look at it now seeming to rely on others; frankly, the power in its hands is far greater than when it was in Huling, and its life is extremely carefree.

With a beautiful tiger in his embrace and over a hundred thousand spirit beasts under his command, isn't this stronger than being in Huling?

Upon receiving Hong Zun's order, the Black Tiger turned, its expression stern, and said.

"Target: East Literature Palace, move out."

"Relying on others' power."

Watching the Black Tiger bellowing and commanding, the White Tiger Demon King coldly rebuked, saying it was utterly a disgrace to the tiger clan.

Meanwhile, Qi Xiong also gave the Black Tiger a strange glance.

"Black Tiger Demon King?"

"Hmm, but now it's the Divine Sword Peak's guardian spirit beast, Xiaohei, of mine."

"Huh???"

Over a hundred thousand demon beasts marched mightily toward the East Literature Palace.

As for the Dao Yi Sect's movements, naturally the various major powers, including the Luo Xia Sect, learned of them right away.

At the Luo Xia Sect's headquarters, Su Luoxing, upon receiving the news, furrowed his brow and said.

"They've gone to the East Literature Palace?"

"Is the Dao Yi Sect planning to move against the East Literature Palace?"

"Probably so, and the East Literature Poetry Meeting seems about to begin."

"Using this as an excuse?"

Although the East Literature Palace is also a longstanding power of Dongzhou, it still lags behind the four great immortal sects, and in recent years it has shown signs of decline.

Therefore, although not stated outright, anyone can see that the East Literature Palace has already become dependent on the Qing Yun Sect.

Qi Xiong led his men rushing to the East Literature Palace, clearly aiming for the Qing Yun Sect.

Not only did Su Luoxing and his group speculate thus, but the Huang Ji Sect's Ji Wushuang was the same.

Is the first target the Qing Yun Sect?

As for Chen Qingyu of the Qing Yun Sect, after knowing the movements of a sect, he would not be as calm as Su Luoxing and Ji Wushuang.

What did you say? Qi Xiong is coming for me?

Yes, according to the news, Qi Xiong has already led people away from Yuan Mountain; looking at the direction, it should be the Eastern Literature Palace.

Eastern Literature Palace? Are they planning to go to the Eastern Literature Poetry Meeting?

That should be the case.

Damn it.

Never expected that the first target of the Dao Yi Sect would actually be oneself.

This session of the Eastern Literature Poetry Meeting, due to the request of the Eastern Literature Palace, the Qing Yun Sect indeed intervened, sending several Inner Disciples.

The purpose is, firstly, to revitalize the Eastern Literature Palace; each poetry meeting is held at the Eastern Literature Palace, but each time the Dao Yi Sect's Literature Academy Peak wins.

This made the Eastern Literature Palace, as the host, lose face; thus this time, the Eastern Literature Palace wants to rely on the Qing Yun Sect's power to suppress the Dao Yi Sect, while also boosting the palace's morale.

Also, the Qing Yun Sect wants to use the Eastern Literature Palace to win over the many Confucian cultivators of Dongzhou.

Never expected that Qi Xiong would actually lead people rushing to the Eastern Literature Palace.

After pondering for a moment, without much hesitation, Chen Qingyu immediately spoke.

Please, Ancestor, come out of seclusion.

Yu Mo and the three others are present; if our Ancestor isn't here, we simply can't hold the scene.

Furthermore, according to prior analysis, the Dao Yi Sect is clearly up to no good; at this time we must definitely prepare early.

Hmph, want to drag my Qing Yun Sect down with you before you die? Our sect won't fall for your trick.

Directly chose to ask the Ancestor to come out of seclusion; in response, the many sages of the Qing Yun Sect also had no objection.

That day, within the Qing Yun Sect, two terrifying auras shot up to the heavens; the two Ancestors of the Qing Yun Sect emerged from seclusion simultaneously.

Just like when Yu Mo and the three others first emerged from seclusion, their bodies were filled with deathly aura; at a glance you could tell they wouldn't live long.

I originally thought the sect had encountered some danger, but after waking up and looking, the two Ancestors were directly stunned.

The sect was completely peaceful, with no sign of a life-or-death crisis; immediately they looked displeased at Chen Qingyu.

Chen Qingyu, what are you doing?

Damn it, we're all people who are going to die anyway; why are you shouting at us for nothing? Do you think we're not dying fast enough?

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu performed a respectful salute.

Please invite the Ancestor to come out of seclusion.

What is it, speak.

Reporting to the Ancestor, this concerns the Dao Yi Sect...

In front of the Ancestor, not daring to conceal anything, I immediately explained the Dao Yi Sect's matters in full detail; of course, most of this is Chen Qingyu's own speculation.

Upon hearing Chen Qingyu's words, the two Ancestors also fell into silence.
