Chapter 462: Western Kunlun Mirror Light Turns a Hundred Tribulations, Heavenly Demon Sacrifice Prioritizes the Big Picture

Inside the Bronze Forbidden Hall, the Grand Ancestor of the Sima family sat cross-legged. At this moment, inside his Universe Bag, a small, white, chubby hand pushed open the bag's mouth. Immediately after, a child, pale all over and devoid of any human vitality, crawled out from the bag and crept behind the Grand Ancestor.

The child-like figure revealed an innocent and naive smile. That smile became increasingly exaggerated until, finally, the corners of the mouth hooked high up, revealing a mouthful of fangs.

The child opened its mouth, full of fangs, and its neck suddenly stretched, winding around to the Grand Ancestor's ear. It reached out a foot-long tongue to the position of his ear canal and hissed something.

The Grand Ancestor suddenly opened his eyes and muttered to himself: "The twin Heavenly Demons share a telepathic connection. Even within this Infinite Wind Evil, they can still transmit messages. The methods of the Demon Sect are truly remarkable. It was not in vain that I tacitly allowed the Demon Sect to slaughter ninety-nine pairs of twins. However, this message came in such a rush. What exactly happened on their side? Why would the Flame Ancestor want me to find a way to eliminate Li Taibai?"

He pondered for a moment, and a paper crane flew out from his sleeve to summon Sima Yue back.

Sima Yue hurriedly entered the hall and said respectfully: "Yue pays respects to the Grand Ancestor!"

The Grand Ancestor wore a deadpan expression and said: "We have suffered heavy losses, and even several clan sons have been lost within the Clamorous Demon Realm. The Flame Ancestor is already aware of this and is extremely dissatisfied!"

Sima Yue trembled all over and said fearfully: "It was Yue's recklessness and impulsiveness that brought about this disaster!"

The Grand Ancestor's eyes were filled with grayish-white death qi. He looked at Sima Yue for a moment, making him feel chilled to the bone, before opening his mouth to say: "Li Taibai was right. Previously, the Demon Sect set an ambush at the exit of the Infinite Wind Evil, intending to wipe out Xie An and the others, but it was seen through by Li Taibai, who arrived a step early. This forced them to trigger their means of disrupting the Infinite Wind Evil prematurely, resulting in a failure... Now that Li Taibai is seriously injured, the Flame Ancestor orders us to eliminate this scourge as soon as possible!"

"If you fail again this time!" The Grand Ancestor looked at Sima Yue coldly and said in a deep voice: "Your position as Crown Prince..."

Cold sweat seeped from Sima Yue's forehead. He said decisively: "The Taizhen Immortal here has accepted the Sixteenth Sister as her foster sister. Taking us in is also for the sake of the Sixteenth Sister. The noble families, seeing the Sixteenth Sister's face, no longer monitor us strictly, which shows they are also wavering."

"He, Li Taibai, only relies on the Sixteenth Sister's face to act as the master here. Are we closer to the Sixteenth Sister, or is he, an outsider?"

"Li Taibai is talented and arrogant, and his relationship with the noble families was originally poor. Now that he is seriously injured, why would the Grand Ancestor need to take action to deal with him?"

…………

Qian Chen looked into the distance at the nine pillars of Infinite Wind Evil, which were visible from afar. After several days, he finally rushed to the vicinity of the exit. Among the divine procession, a Yellow Turban Divine General shouted: "We must suppress the wind evil with all our strength and are unable to attend to you all. You can gather in one place and work together to resist the invasion of the wind evil!"

This was just an excuse Qian Chen had casually found to gather everyone together, making it convenient for the next step of turning against them.

Qian Chen was considering whether he should laugh three times, sweep his gaze over everyone with contempt, and say: "You are all trash, what face do you have to be ranked with me!" and then turn against them to suppress everyone; or laugh coldly three times, suddenly reveal his villainous face, and sneak an attack on them. The various True Persons of the noble families, the three True Persons of the Immortal Sects, the extremely low-key Dao Academy, the young True Person who was somewhat excessive, as well as Xie An and others who had already secretly colluded with Qian Chen, along with the two useless members of the Sima family, Liu Yu, Wang Longxiang, Xie Lingyun, and others, were all gathered under the dragon carriage.

True Person Zhu laughed and said: "We have too many people and mixed voices, so we shouldn't be an eyesore in front of the Taizhen Feng Xianzi. This Mountain and River Shanhe Xiang Ding has saved us many times. Let us stay inside and work together to sacrifice and activate this tripod!"

Qian Chen couldn't help but frown. Isn't this forcing himself into their territory? Although these noble family True Persons were also guarding against the Sima family, how could they not also be secretly guarding against him? After all, he had offended them quite deeply during the meeting at the Copper Sparrow Tower. However, he was just worrying about not having an excuse to stir up trouble. Going to see what kind of ghostly schemes these people were plotting was also an interesting thing, and since these people were cowering under the tripod, it would be convenient to take action, so he walked into the tripod generously.

True Person Zhu and True Person Zhou looked at each other, both with faint joy.

The inside of the Mountain and River Shanhe Xiang Ding was extremely spacious. Most of the noble family disciples were hiding here, and the earth qi had transformed into a pavilion. The easternmost part of the pavilion was the main hall transformed by the golden qi of the bronze tripod, and everyone sat in the main hall.

True Person Zhou first said to Wang Longxiang: "There are many unworthy disciples from various families here. I ask you, Nephew Wang, to trouble yourself to restrain them a little, let them choose a few who are sensible to listen to the opinions of the True Persons, so they can go back and appease everyone."

As soon as Qian Chen heard this, he knew this was finding an excuse to send Wang Longxiang away! On the other side, Sima Yue also invited Si Princess Qingcheng to continue sitting on the dragon carriage, accompanying the 'Taizhen Feng Xianzi'.

He also instructed that if there were any unusual movements later, Si Princess Qingcheng should ask the Taizhen Goddess not to take offense!

Ning Ning Shimei Si transmitted her voice: "Yan Yan Shixiong, I feel that this guy Sima Yue is going to do something bad. Do you want me to come over and shake them up!"

Qian Chen instructed her: "You just sit in the dragon carriage. It is your Yan Yan Shixiong who wants to do something bad. When the time comes, I will gather all these people together. After we get out of the Infinite Wind Evil, I will use the power of your procession to suppress them all, then scatter them and send them to the God-Sacrificing Platform. This will make it convenient for me to find out whose body the Demon Sect's means were placed on! I have already handled all the old demons at the God-Sacrificing Platform, and now they are unable to spare their hands. When I take action, Ning Ning Shimei, do not hesitate!"

"But what about Xie Gong!"

Si Princess Qingcheng was a little worried. Xie An was a Yang Spirit, and it was not difficult to suppress others, but relying on the current divine procession, it was still too far from suppressing a Yang Spirit.

Qian Chen thought to himself, later I will let Zhu Jiuyin take action with the help of the Western Kunlun Mirror. Let alone one Xie An, even if ten or eight more came, it wouldn't be difficult for him to sneak an attack once.

But he said: "We are our own people, don't be nervous!"

"Yan Yan Shixiong, when did you and Xie Gong..." Si Princess Qingcheng was speechless. It turned out that the two strongest ones were colluding to stir up trouble!

After several noble family True Persons used various excuses to send Xie Lingyun, Liu Yu, and the others away, Qian Chen counted that they were about to make their move. Sure enough, True Person Zhu was the first to pick up a teacup and take a sip of spirit tea. The fragrant spirit tea entered his mouth, but it had a sour and rotten taste, which greatly ruined True Person Zhu's appetite. He knew that the Yin evil qi invaded by the Infinite Wind Evil had already seeped into the tripod, ruining the things stored inside.

He put down the teacup and said slowly: "It is true that we are trapped in the Infinite Wind Evil due to the sneak attack from the Demon Sect. This matter was notified to us by Taibai. The Demon Sect is cunning and vicious, but there are a few points that are unclear. All matters concerning the Demon Sect were spoken by Taibai. Regarding the inconsistencies, we can only ask you to verify them. I hope you will tell us the truth."

Qian Chen heard the thorns hidden in his words and just said dashingly: "Since we are fellow members of the righteous path, prioritizing the big picture, it should be so!"

Seeing everyone nodding one after another, seemingly satisfied that he had fallen into the trap, they could use the "big picture" to coerce public opinion and make Qian Chen reveal some secrets. Qian Chen was also very satisfied. Since it is for the big picture, it should be no problem for you to sacrifice a little for the big picture, right!

Next, True Person Gu appeared. His words were gentle and unhurried. He asked Qian Chen about the process of the Demon Sect's ambush at the exit and how Qian Chen saw through their calculations. The questions were detailed, and Qian Chen was about to "sacrifice" everyone later, so he was quite patient, answering every question and remaining calm.

After clarifying the process of the matter, True Person Gu pondered slightly and called True Person Zhou to play the "white face".

He stroked his long beard, a strange meaning flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "In that case, the Demon Sect is still led by the Nine You Sect! The one using the Black Gold Demon Light should be their Elder Fu Wuxu. His Ten Absolute Sun Demon Path has nine changes, and the Black Sun Golden Crow Change and the Chain Ten Directions Change are among them. According to the situation described by Taibai, this person is afraid he only showed five parts of his ability. The other person with an extremely strong physical body should be a figure from the Corpse-Driving Sect, but I don't know if he cultivates the Taiyin Refining Form Technique, the Corpse Demon Path, or the Flying Yaksha transformed from a Hairy Corpse."

"The path of refining corpses is extremely evil, and its profound aspects are also quite mysterious. The Corpse-Driving Sect has four overall inheritances—Human, Immortal, Divine, and Beast."

"Correspondingly, they are the Flying Yaksha, Taiyin Corpse Immortal, Drought Demon God, and Heaven-Gazing Hou!"

Qian Chen's eyes flashed slightly, and he said: "This person's body is extremely heavy with Yin qi, but it is not the usual Yin turbid qi; rather, it is extremely light and spiritual, with a trace of Taiyin charm."

"That is Duan Ya of the Corpse-Driving Sect. This demon was born from death. A hundred years ago, he succeeded in the Taiyin Refining Form Technique. Our righteous path once went to stop him from passing the refining barrier, but unexpectedly, he crossed the tribulation in advance, causing us to suffer a small loss!"

Qian Chen mentioned the others, and they were all identified by everyone one by one.

True Person Zhou's eyes had a trace of solemnity, and he said in a deep voice: "The Undying Daoist of the True Transmission Sect has been a famous demon for thousands of years. He is heartless, ruthless, and his methods are mysterious and unpredictable. He has long been a Yang Spirit. The Heart Buddha Sect's 'I am Buddha' was originally a branch of the Zen Sect, but because a Bone Bodhisattva appeared who said 'All living beings are Buddha, I am a Bodhisattva, extinguishing all living beings, cutting off the origin', it entered the Demon Sect. Its Buddha-law and demon nature are extremely heavy. The Faceless Demon Monk distorted the Buddha-law's essence of 'no self-appearance, no life-appearance, no living being-appearance', thinking that 'no appearance' means having no face, deeply erasing his own face, and taking 'no self' as 'no appearance'."

"In that case..." True Person Zhu said coldly: "There are four Yang Spirit old demons!"

A cold light flashed in Sima Yue's eyes, and he suddenly said: "Four Yang Spirit old demons attacked together, yet they were all blocked by Li Taibai! His achievements can be called astonishing, but we only heard this from Li Taibai alone. How much of it is the truth is hard to say!"

Xie An laughed and said: "Crown Prince Yue's words are too heavy! This old man believes in Taibai!"

"Since that is the case, why doesn't Taibai hand over the secret map given by Wang Zhiyuan?" Sima Yue stood up and said: "Our Sima family has handed over all the information obtained from exploring the Jin Ling Cave Heaven through the ages. Taibai can come and go freely here. We have all suffered great disasters, only you are unscathed, which obviously means you know a lot. Why not contribute it to our righteous path to avoid being calculated by the Demon Sect again?"

Qian Chen said calmly: "I don't have any secret map of this place in my hands. I'm afraid Wang Zhiyuan hasn't even been here. What secrets could I grasp?"

Sima Yue said coldly: "Li Taibai, even if what you say is true, you triggered the demon array without authorization in order to escape, causing the Infinite Wind Evil to riot, and everyone almost suffered a disaster and died! We have encountered such a great disaster, so we can count it as your fault."

True Person Zhu also said lightly: "Crown Prince Yue's words, although too much, are not unreasonable. The Demon Sect's ambush is only what you, Taibai, said alone, and there is no corroborating evidence, but triggering the wind disaster can be counted as your truthful confession. Merit and fault are divided. If corroborating evidence of the Demon Sect's conspiracy is found, your great merit will be counted, but many keys to this matter still need Taibai to tell the truth!"

True Person Zhou also helped out from the side: "Prioritizing the big picture, Taibai, it is better not to hide it! I have a method that can prove Taibai's innocence. You only need to give me a personal magic treasure, and I can use the Round Light Technique to investigate the past time. Right and wrong will be clear in an instant. Isn't that wonderful?"

"Li Taibai, your background is a mystery. It's better to make some things clear!" The Grand Ancestor also said coldly.

People who cultivate the Dao value privacy the most. Secrets of cultivation, even to relatives and friends, will not be mentioned. Using the Round Light Technique to spy on the past is an extremely harsh provocation. A cold smile appeared on the corner of Sima Yue's mouth, wanting to see how Qian Chen would choose.

At this time, Qian Chen looked up and saw that the procession had already passed through the chaotic tunnel and landed at the exit of the Infinite Wind Evil.

He stood up calmly and said to everyone: "The time has come, everyone! For the sake of the big picture of the righteous path, I will be grateful for your sacrifice!"

"What..."

At this moment, a thought of extreme terror suddenly appeared in Sima Yue's mind—"What is he going to do?"

Qian Chen bowed in the direction of the dragon carriage and said: "I invite the Western Kunlun Mirror to take action!"

Inside the dragon carriage, on the lap of Si Princess Qingcheng's divine dharma body, an ancient bronze mirror suddenly turned into a divine light and rushed out.

At this moment, the mirror light emerged, and countless illusions of the void and the cosmic realms surrounded the mirror light, floating and sinking. That awe-inspiring divine light pressed down towards the Mountain and River Shanhe Xiang Ding. Inside, the mirror light turned, and everyone didn't know how many illusions of the void and worlds they had traversed. Under that vast divine light, they were almost defenseless and were rolled into the chaotic flow of the void.

Xie An stood in the middle of it, bowed slightly to Qian Chen, did not resist, and smiled as he let the mirror light roll him away.

On the Demon-Burying Stone Platform!

Fu Fu Lao Mo Fu's expression changed, and he suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Not good, the righteous path suddenly moved people thousands of miles away. The several dark hands we laid out are scattered, and we have lost contact with everyone else!"

Inside the stone platform, someone said faintly: "Are the few selected sacrifices still under control?"

"The main sacrifice has the Faceless Golden Silkworm on him and is still under control. But for the other scheduled sacrifices, in order to prevent Xie An from noticing, most of them did not have dark hands laid out!"

That voice pondered for a long time and said in a low voice: "As long as the main sacrifice is fine, for the others, we can look for substitutes... Didn't you also select a few True Transmission disciples with similar life patterns and bring them along?"

"The main sacrifice is tied to great luck. The backup ones you prepared only have some dragon bloodline and cannot replace him at all. Therefore, this person must be taken down first, allowing me to start the transformation early. Lest the righteous path step by step press the situation."

Fu Fu Lao Mo Fu also said solemnly: "This matter should not be delayed any longer. Take down the main sacrifice first! Force the righteous path to take the initiative to come and fight us to the death." ===== CHAPTER 463 =====
