Chapter 757: Tianyin Temple Crisis
"Disciple Xiao Yicai pays respects to Master! Pays respects to all uncles and aunts!"
Just as Dao Xuan True Person and the six Peak Masters were about to continue their discussion,
Dao Xuan True Person's eldest disciple, Xiao Yicai, walked in and bowed to Dao Xuan True Person and the six Peak Masters.
Seeing it was his beloved disciple, a flash of happiness crossed Dao Xuan True Person's face, and he asked Xiao Yicai:
"Yicai, what brings you to see your master?"
Xiao Yicai hurriedly replied to Dao Xuan True Person:
"Reporting to Master, just now we received news from disciples in Yunzhou that the Great Han Empire's next target is the Tianyin Temple!"
Dao Xuan True Person and the six Peak Masters were instantly shocked and stood up, asking Xiao Yicai:
"Yicai, is this news true!"
Seeing the expressions of Dao Xuan and the seven, Xiao Yicai did not dare to delay and hurriedly said to Dao Xuan:
"Master, this news was sent back from Yunzhou by our Tongtian Peak disciples at the risk of their lives."
"Moreover, the Han army has already begun to mobilize toward Yizhou, and the Tianyin Temple is within Yizhou!"
"Now, all directions point to the Tianyin Temple!"
"And with the Great Han Empire's style, they will definitely not let the Tianyin Temple go, unless the Tianyin Temple surrenders to the Great Han Empire!"
Hearing Xiao Yicai's words, Dao Xuan True Person immediately said loudly:
"Such a situation cannot happen; the Tianyin Temple cannot surrender to the Great Han!"
Following Dao Xuan True Person's words, Tian Buyi, the Peak Master of Dazhu Peak, continued:
"Senior Brother Sect Master is right; the Tianyin Temple is a holy land of Buddhism, they will not surrender to the Great Han!"
"If they had any intention of surrendering, they wouldn't have asked Master Pu Hong to come to our Qingyun Sect to form an alliance!"
"Now the primary task is for us to discuss how to support the Tianyin Temple!"
"With the Great Han Empire's strength, if we go late, we'll probably be collecting corpses for the people of the Tianyin Temple!"
After hearing Tian Buyi's words, Daoist Cangsong, the Peak Master of Longshou Peak, snorted coldly:
"Hmph! Junior Brother Tian, you speak lightly; with the Great Han Empire's strength,"
"we don't know how many people to send or what the cultivation requirements are; how can we act rashly."
"If we send too few people and their cultivation isn't enough, wouldn't that be a one-way trip!"
Hearing this, Tian Buyi looked at Daoist Cangsong and said angrily:
"Cangsong, then what do you say we should do? Are we just not going to save the Tianyin Temple?"
Hearing Tian Buyi's words, Daoist Cangsong said to everyone:
"Of course we have to save them, but what I mean is to have the Tianyin Temple directly abandon their sect and have them come to our Qingyun Sect first."
"After all, we haven't figured out the Great Han Empire's strength yet; acting rashly is too dangerous!"
"But it's different here in our Qingyun Sect; our Qingyun Sect possesses the divine artifact, the Zhu Xian Sword."
"Even if the Great Han Empire wants to attack our Qingyun Sect, we have nothing to fear!"
After hearing Daoist Cangsong's words, Tian Buyi also calmed down, and everyone felt that Cangsong was right.
Immediately, Dao Xuan True Person said directly to everyone:
"Junior brothers, I feel that Junior Brother Cangsong is right; rather than going to rescue the Tianyin Temple, it is better to have the people of each sect come to our Qingyun Sect."
"At that time, with the help of our Qingyun Sect's Zhu Xian Sword, we will definitely be able to defeat the Great Han Empire!"
Regarding the Zhu Xian Sword, everyone had absolute confidence; they believed that no matter how strong the enemy was, there was nothing the Zhu Xian Sword couldn't solve.
However, after hearing the words of Dao Xuan and Cangsong, Xiao Yicai asked them:
"But, Master, uncles and aunts, will the Tianyin Temple abandon their sect and come to our Qingyun Sect?"
Hearing Xiao Yicai's words, Dao Xuan True Person said coldly:
"Hmph! Foolish! It's just a sect location; what is there that cannot be abandoned!"
"Just bring the sect classics and resources out; once we defeat the Great Han Empire, we can just go back!"
Hearing Dao Xuan's words, the six Peak Masters also nodded in agreement.
"Nephew Xiao, your master is right; as long as the people are there, the Tianyin Temple is there; these sect locations are just external objects and are not important!"
Zeng Shuchang, the Peak Master of Fenghui Peak, looked at Xiao Yicai and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Xiao Yicai also nodded and said respectfully to Dao Xuan and the others:
"Master and uncles are right; this disciple has been taught!"
Seeing this, Dao Xuan and the others nodded with satisfaction.
"Yicai, go and invite Master Pu Hong of the Tianyin Temple and Elder Lü Shun of the Fenxiang Valley."
"Yes, Master!"
Very quickly, Master Pu Hong and Elder Lü Shun were brought in by Xiao Yicai.
And Dao Xuan True Person said directly to Master Pu Hong and Elder Lü Shun:
"This time, I have invited the two fellow Daoists here because my Qingyun Sect has just received news that the Great Han Empire's next target will be Yizhou."
Having said this, Dao Xuan True Person turned his gaze toward Master Pu Hong of the Tianyin Temple and said to him:
"Master Pu Hong, your Tianyin Temple is in Yizhou; if the Great Han Empire captures Yizhou, your Tianyin Temple will be in danger."
"Just now, I have already discussed with my six junior brothers; going to support your Tianyin Temple is too dangerous."
Hearing Dao Xuan True Person's words, Master Pu Hong instantly became anxious and hurriedly said to Dao Xuan:
"Sect Master Dao Xuan, I ask you to take action and save my Tianyin Temple; we have already formed an alliance, you cannot ignore my Tianyin Temple!"
Seeing this, Dao Xuan True Person hurriedly waved his hand at Master Pu Hong and explained to him:
"Master Pu Hong, you have misunderstood; it is not that I do not want to save your Tianyin Temple."
After finishing, Dao Xuan True Person told the reason to Pu Hong and Lü Shun.
After the two heard Dao Xuan True Person's words, Lü Shun said somewhat dismissively:
"In my opinion, Sect Master Dao Xuan, you are overthinking it; just relying on a Great Han Empire, could they really be a match for our three major sects joining forces!"
And Master Pu Hong on the side, after hearing this, also said to Dao Xuan True Person:
"Elder Lü is right; with our three major sects joining forces, what does the Great Han Empire have to resist? Do they have so many experts?"
However, thinking that they still didn't know the Great Han Empire's specific strength, Dao Xuan True Person still said to the two:
"Two fellow Daoists, I understand what you say, but we don't know how many experts the Great Han Empire has."
"However, judging from how quickly they destroyed the Ghost King Sect, their strength is definitely very strong."
"Before we know the Great Han's specific strength, we must preserve our strength as much as possible."
"Moreover, it's just a sect location; after defeating the Great Han Empire, it's not like we can't take it back!"
Pu Hong and Lü Shun thought about it and still agreed to Dao Xuan True Person's request.
Immediately, the two began to send letters to their own sects, asking them all to come to the Qingyun Sect. ===== CHAPTER 758 =====
