156. Chapter 156: Heading to Nanzhao Kingdom! The Disappearing Bai Yue!

In the Ancestor Hall, the elders looked at each other, not knowing whether to agree or oppose.

The Sword Saint looked at Qingwei and said, "You also said that the kid will become an immortal sooner or later. If he doesn't become the sect leader, do you want us, who have little chance anyway, to waste time in the position of sect leader?"

Qingwei's expression moved, and finally he nodded slowly.

The Sword Saint smiled, "How the future Shushan will be is left to the young people to toss. We old guys should try to live a few more years, that is the right path."

Qingwei was stunned and laughed loudly.

Knowing the Sword Saint for decades, this was the first time he had seen him joke.

Everyone chatted for a while and decided to hold a merger ceremony, inviting the righteous path of the world to participate.

Speaking of the excitement, the Wine Sword Immortal suddenly said, "The Nanzhao Kingdom matter must be handled first, right? Otherwise, those little ones probably won't have the heart to hold any merger ceremony, especially Junior Nephew Chu Yang's temperament of hating evil, I'm afraid it will be like a fishbone in his throat."

Qingwei nodded slightly, stroked his beard and said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Mo is right. The descendants of Nv Wa have also helped Shushan a lot, so we cannot sit idly by."

The Sword Saint's gaze was sharp, and he sneered, "Leave this matter to me. Bai Yue actually dared to sneak attack Shushan with the Evil Sword Immortal. Since he waded into this muddy water, don't blame me for being impolite."

The Wine Sword Immortal chuckled. The Sword Saint in front of him was the one he was most familiar with. Don't look at his gentle and elegant appearance over the years, often discussing the Dao with others, but his personality was actually very violent.

Bai Yue couldn't be the opponent of Senior Brother Sword Saint. He was just afraid that the other party would be forced into a corner and use some evil method to wake up the suppressed Water Demon Beast. That would be tricky.

Thinking of this, the Wine Sword Immortal suddenly heard the Sword Saint's voice in his ear.

"Junior Brother Mo, come down the mountain with me!"

"Cough cough cough!"

The Wine Sword Immortal, who was caught off guard, was choked by the wine and coughed constantly. He wiped his mouth and smiled dryly, "Senior Brother, forget about me. It's so tiring to travel long distances! Li Xiaoyao's cultivation is progressing rapidly, and he is enough by your side!"

The Sword Saint narrowed his eyes and said unhappily, "Taking you to Nanzhao Kingdom is not to wipe my butt, but to wipe your own butt!"

The Wine Sword Immortal's scalp went numb, and he didn't dare to speak, looking like a student caught by his parents after staying out all night.

The gazes of the others all fell on the Wine Sword Immortal, all with inquiries. To make the Sword Saint so angry, I'm afraid it's not a small matter.

The Wine Sword Immortal simply closed his eyes and lay on the ground, pretending to be drunk.

The next day.

The merger of the two sects was kept secret for the time being. Qingwei and the others summoned Chu Yang and the others to the main hall of the sect and told them that the Sword Saint would go down the mountain to eliminate the Bai Yue Sect.

Li Xiaoyao jumped up happily, and the others also looked happy.

Xu Changqing, Zi Xuan, Jingtian, and Tang Xuejian were not present. They went to the Thunderbolt Hall in Deyang last night to report the revenge of the old Tang Fort Master to Luo Rulie.

"No time to lose, let's go down the mountain first to tell Elder Shi and the others this good news." Chu Yang patted Li Xiaoyao on the shoulder to remind him.

"That's right, Brother Chu!" Li Xiaoyao smiled from ear to ear, bowed to Qingwei and the others, and hurried down the mountain.

"Sect Leader, Master, I will take the others to Nanzhao Kingdom first to eliminate the power of the Bai Yue Sect. When Bai Yue appears, it will not be too late for Senior Uncle Sword Saint to take action."

The Sword Saint's Sword Control Art had reached the realm of heaven and man, and since both Shushan and Nanzhao Kingdom were located in the southwest, flying with a sword would not take much time.

The Sword Saint said, "No problem, I have my own plans, but Junior Brother will go with you."

The Wine Sword Immortal walked out of the hall with a bitter face, shaking his arms.

A moment later.

Chu Yang and Lin Yueru came to Zuixianju and saw a group of people gathered in the lobby.

Tang Yu, A'nu, Elder Shi, Zhao Ling Er, Liu Jinyuan.

They had long been unable to wait, packed their bags, and were ready to set off back to Nanzhao Kingdom.

Lin Yueru persuaded Liu Jinyuan to stay in Yuzhou, but he firmly opposed it. He didn't help with collecting the five spirit beads, but this time, he had to go to deal with the Bai Yue Sect.

Elder Shi unexpectedly helped Liu Jinyuan plead, saying that his wisdom was indispensable for dealing with the Bai Yue Sect.

During their time in Yuzhou City, the two learned people often gathered to talk about the world and had already become friends of different ages.

Zhao Ling Er, Tang Yu, and A'nu were also attracted by Liu Jinyuan's talent and regarded him as a close friend, so they pleaded for him one after another.

Lin Yueru couldn't handle so many people persuading her, so she had to agree to let Liu Jinyuan go to Nanzhao Kingdom.

With the Shushan Sect as a foundation and the Wine Sword Immortal accompanying them, the mood of everyone after setting off again was completely different from the beginning, much more relaxed.

The smile on Zhao Ling Er's face became visibly more frequent.

Even Shi Gonghu stopped looking stern.

Among the group, the one with the worst mood was the Wine Sword Immortal. A'nu liked to stick to him, but every time he saw A'nu, he couldn't help but shed tears.

Halfway through, the Wine Sword Immortal couldn't help it anymore and decided to fly his sword ahead to Nanzhao Kingdom.

Ignoring A'nu's plea, he flew up with his sword and headed straight for the southwest.

No matter what, he had to find Ming Yuanqing to lift the spell first.

After the Wine Sword Immortal left, A'nu was lost. Although they didn't recognize each other, she liked this Uncle Wine Sword Immortal very much in her heart, even surpassing the Bai Yue Uncle who had always been very good to her.

It was also because of the Wine Sword Immortal's persuasion that A'nu completely cut off contact with Bai Yue.

The group continued to move forward and arrived in Nanzhao Kingdom half a month later.

A'nu took everyone to the station of the White Miao tribe. Chu Yang had been here once, so he was familiar with the road.

After arriving, Chu Yang found that Xu Changqing and Zi Xuan had been waiting for a long time. They returned to Shushan after dealing with Luo Rulie and flew to Nanzhao Kingdom from Shushan with their swords.

The speed of sword flying was much faster than walking, so they arrived here many days earlier than Chu Yang and the others.

The Wine Sword Immortal was also there, flirting with Ming Yuanqing in the crowd. His problem of shedding tears for no reason was naturally cured.

Ming Yuanqing welcomed everyone into the room and began to explain the current situation in Nanzhao Kingdom.

Due to the poisoning of the Bai Yue Sect for many years, all the citizens of Nanzhao Kingdom had become loyal believers of Bai Yue. It was not something that could be reversed by just sending a few people to expose Bai Yue's true face.

This power of superstition even affected the army of Nanzhao Kingdom. Except for the Southern Barbarian General and Elder Shi's confidants, everyone else stood on the opposite side of them.

The Witch King was completely sidelined and became a real puppet. The situation was more serious than when Shi Gonghu left.

In other words, if they wanted to deal with the Bai Yue Sect, it was basically equivalent to dealing with the entire Nanzhao Kingdom.

The army and the Bai Yue followers were easy to handle; they could just have a real fight. What was truly difficult was how to deal with ordinary people.

You couldn't just kill them all at once, right?

To take care of the people, it was difficult to gain the upper hand in front of the Bai Yue Sect. Being hesitant on the battlefield would make not only Zhao Ling Er but the entire White Miao tribe passive.

"If you ask me, the best way now is to find Bai Yue and eradicate this disaster. In this way, you don't have to be enemies with the ordinary people of the entire Nanzhao Kingdom."

Li Xiaoyao made a throat-slitting gesture, meaning a decapitation operation.

But no one paid attention to him, and the Wine Sword Immortal stared at him with the eyes of looking at an idiot.

"Brother Xiaoyao, it is precisely because we can't find where Bai Yue is that things have become complicated..."

Zhao Ling Er reminded him in a low voice. Li Xiaoyao realized it later and scratched his head with a dry laugh.

"What a fool! If you don't understand, don't interrupt. Let others speak, okay?"

Lin Yueru glared at Li Xiaoyao, hating that he didn't live up to expectations.

"What does it have to do with you, evil woman? I told you not to come earlier. You're so annoying with your chattering!"

Li Xiaoyao retorted unceremoniously.

"Now is not the time to argue. Be more sensible!"

Xu Changqing said with a dark face, putting on the prestige of a senior brother. Before, they were not Shushan disciples, so he could only turn a blind eye, but now, the two were about to officially join the sect, so he couldn't ignore it.

Li Xiaoyao closed his mouth obediently, not daring to refute. He was like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw Xu Changqing now.

Not to mention that he would be his senior brother soon, what was more terrifying was that there was a generation gap between the two. Not calling him grandfather with Ling Er was already a blessing.

After the two closed their mouths, Shi Gonghu took over the conversation, "The Princess is right. The most difficult problem now is that we can't find Bai Yue's tracks. Bai Yue disappeared after going to Shushan."

The Wine Sword Immortal continued, "He is very likely still with the Evil Sword Immortal, not knowing what they are plotting."

Everyone in the room began to discuss Bai Yue's whereabouts.

Chu Yang found it noisy, so he took advantage of no one paying attention and silently exited the room. It was already late at night, the bright moon was hanging high, and he sat on the stone bench outside to close his eyes and rest, waiting for everyone to discuss a result.

In fact, Chu Yang himself was more inclined to use force to suppress those ordinary people who were bewitched by the Bai Yue Sect. As the saying goes, long pain is worse than short pain.

Without the Bai Yue Sect, Bai Yue alone couldn't do much.

It was a pity that with Zhao Ling Er's personality, it was absolutely impossible to solve the predicament of Nanzhao Kingdom in this way.

Where did Bai Yue go?

Recalling all the plots of Immortal Sword, Bai Yue had no space to perform. The five spirit beads were taken away by Chong Lou, so even if he wanted to break the seal of the Water Demon Beast, he had no way.

"No, I should change my thinking."

"Without the five spirit beads, what method can Bai Yue use to break the seal?"

"He only has the Evil Sword Immortal by his side..."

"Evil thoughts?"

"Vicious energy..."

"Ten Thousand Mountains!"

Chu Yang stood up suddenly. He remembered that Bai Yue was from the Black Miao tribe and must have heard that legend. At this moment, he had no possibility of a comeback, so he likely went to the Ten Thousand Mountains to find a way to lift the seal of the Beast God.

Bai Yue's goal from the beginning was to destroy the world. As long as he could achieve this goal, the process and means were not important to him.

Using the Water Demon Beast to destroy the world and using the Beast God to destroy the world had the same effect!

Thinking of this, Chu Yang felt more and more that Bai Yue had gone deep into the Ten Thousand Mountains, so he walked into the room quickly and told everyone his guess.

Among everyone present, only Zi Xuan and Ming Yuanqing knew this legend, so their faces were the ugliest.

The Wine Sword Immortal said, "If the Beast God is really as terrifying as you said, then he is harder to deal with than the Evil Sword Immortal. We must stop this from happening."

Ming Yuanqing shook her head, "You don't understand the situation of the Ten Thousand Mountains at all. It is simply two worlds compared to the outside world. Don't think that you can come and go freely just because your cultivation is high. High cultivation is useless there!"

"Any random Gu worm you haven't seen before could poison a master like the Shushan Sect Leader to death!"

"Coupled with the complexity of the terrain and environment, and the fact that Barbarians and monsters could attack at any time, the Ten Thousand Mountains can simply be called a hell on earth."

Seeing that she said it so seriously, the Wine Sword Immortal was no longer stubborn, frowned and said, "Then if they really enter the Ten Thousand Mountains, we won't chase them in. Wouldn't we be unable to do anything right now?"

Chu Yang turned to look at Zhao Ling Er, "If we can't deal with the chaos in Nanzhao Kingdom as soon as possible, in case the Beast God really comes out, the situation will become more and more intense. As the princess, Zhao, you must make a decision."

Zhao Ling Er gritted her teeth, her expression becoming very struggling.

"Think about it carefully yourself."

Chu Yang left the room, and others also left one after another, intending to give Zhao Ling Er space to think alone. Finally, only Li Xiaoyao stayed to accompany her.

The huge pressure made Zhao Ling Er start to cry, and Li Xiaoyao hugged her tightly, the two leaning on each other, becoming each other's most solid reliance in the world.

The whole night passed.

Zhao Ling Er still decided not to hurt the people of Nanzhao Kingdom, which meant that their side would fall into a very disadvantageous environment.

But everyone could understand her.

Chu Yang nodded, "Since that's the case, let's slay the Bai Yue followers first and regain control of the Nanzhao Kingdom army."

Liu Jinyuan suddenly said, "As for the army, why don't I go with Elder Shi to solve it."

Chu Yang patted his shoulder, "Since you have confidence, then go. Be sure to pay attention to safety."

Thus, except for Liu Jinyuan and Shi Gonghu, everyone else went to the Bai Yue Sect together.

Chu Yang went to the place where the Water Demon Beast was sealed alone.

Although Bai Yue was very likely to have gone to the Ten Thousand Mountains, the Water Demon Beast side also had to be guarded against.

Compared to the seal of the Beast God, the seal of the Water Demon Beast was easier to lift. God knows what was in the Ten Thousand Mountains. In case Bai Yue really stumbled upon something that could lift the seal of the Water Demon Beast.

Chu Yang felt a little uneasy in his heart.

The lake where the Witch Queen sealed the Water Demon Beast was very famous locally. After inquiring a little, Chu Yang knew the location.

When he rushed over, Chu Yang found that the road was very quiet, or even silent, as if the entire space had been pressed with a mute button.

The animals seemed to sense danger and left this place in advance. The more this was the case, the more Chu Yang was sure that Bai Yue was nearby.

The stone statue of the Witch Queen gradually became clear in his sight.

At the same time, another figure came into view, looking at Chu Yang with a smile.

Bai Yue.

"Could it be that I guessed wrong?"

Chu Yang muttered in his heart and slowly walked toward Bai Yue.

"Little brother A-Yang, we meet again. It's a pity that we meet in this way. I originally wanted you to join the Bai Yue Sect and realize a great ideal."

Bai Yue looked very lost, his eyes very sincere.

"There are too many scientists working with me, you are a bit out of rank. I gave you a chance, but you didn't believe in the feelings between Tang Yu and A'nu."

Chu Yang entered the state of the Original Body of Martial Essence and rushed straight toward Bai Yue.

Bai Yue smiled slightly, flicked a blood ball the size of a marble from his fingertips into the lake. A few breaths later, the lake was surging with wind and clouds, and the waves were sky-high. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 157 =====
