Chapter 529

~15 min read 2,992 words

The hall was filled with brocade-like smoke and brilliant candlelight.

At this moment, the presiding elders of the Eight Sects and Six Sects, a total of fourteen True Persons of the great sects, were all gathered here.

Various lights and energies appeared and disappeared, brilliant as the sun, with auspicious clouds flowing, making the whole room full of radiance.

Hearing this, Feng Xiao turned his eyes in displeasure and saw that the one who had just spoken was indeed his old rival, the Chiming elder Han Yi.

Their gazes met; one had gloomy eyes, while the other seemed to be in a great mood, full of smiles.

This scene made Song Feng, the Tai Fu elder who had been shaking his head because of Liao Huidu's encounter, frown.

He withdrew the bitter look on his face and secretly raised his guard to prevent these two from suddenly fighting again.

"Just a temporary setback, what's there to talk about? If you really want to count it, it can only be their bad luck."

Feng Xiao suppressed the anger in his heart and snorted coldly:

"That Chen Heng is indeed a hero, but my Six Sects also have Yin Wuji, Yu Huangshang, and Lu Rong.

Who wins and who loses this time, even if you, Han Yi, are stupid again, you should have some understanding in your heart. Why disregard the situation and just indulge in tongue-wagging!"

As soon as these words came out, several presiding elders of the Six Sects nodded slightly, showing approval.

Seeing this, Han Yi naturally would not let Feng Xiao suppress him with words. His mind turned, and he had more mocking words, which also made some presiding elders of the Eight Sects speak up to help.

And when most of the True Persons present were interested in talking because of this.

Only Liu Fu, the presiding elder of the Innate Xiantian Xiantian Mo Zong, looked at the long sky.

He seemed to turn a deaf ear, his fingers tapping the table unconsciously, his mind clearly turned to other matters.

Chen Bai, who had been hit by the Blood-Sacrifice Divine Needles just now, did not dare to stay for a moment after escaping from the Huang Lao Sheji Map. He didn't leave a single word, hurriedly urged his secret treasure, and escaped into the void.

Such behavior clearly showed that Chen Bai had taken Chen Heng's words to heart and wanted to leave first.

And a dignified true disciple of the Innate Xiantian Xiantian Mo Zong was hit by the Blood-Sacrifice Divine Needles because of a moment of carelessness, becoming the first, or perhaps the only, dead person in this Core Formation Grand Assembly...

This not only made the Innate Xiantian Xiantian Mo Zong's years of hard cultivation go to waste, but even their face would be severely damaged!

Regardless of Chen Bai's ultimate outcome.

But as the presiding elder of the Innate Xiantian Xiantian Mo Zong for this session, this matter actually had nothing to do with him. However, those with ulterior motives in the sect would probably use this as an excuse to attack him.

Especially since Liu Fu had recently offended many people in the sect in order to seek the governing power of the several Dao veins in the Water Bright Land, and even confronted Tian Ze under Chen Yushu's command, and both sides were very unhappy.

With this prior situation, it would probably be harder than imagined for Liu Fu to reach his hand into the strong sects of the Water Bright Land and then control the situation of the land step by step...

Just as Liu Fu was thinking intently, Feng Xiao and Han Yi were arguing more and more fiercely.

These two already had old grudges. Now, led by Song Feng of Tai Fu Palace, several presiding elders were trying to persuade them, fearing that they would fight in this hall and ruin their dignity.

Although the Eight Sects and Six Sects have always been seen by the cultivators of the Heavens as advancing and retreating together, with equal interests, and can almost be regarded as one body.

Since receiving the imperial edict in the ancient times, these fourteen families have managed the Xu Du Heaven like an iron bucket, impenetrable by wind or rain.

No matter if outside forces secretly used conspiracies or directly forced them, they could not break this tacit understanding and could not gain a foothold in Xu Du Heaven.

But even so, the fourteen families were not entirely intimate.

Even between the Eight Sects and the Eight Sects, and the Six Sects and the Six Sects, there were disagreements, not to mention the Mystic Sect and the Demonic Sect.

It was only because of the "Tan Chi Assembly" in the ancient times, where the founders of each family personally participated and made a blood alliance, that in the face of the truly big picture, the fourteen families could repeatedly suppress those internal voices and unite their strength.

And in the previous Core Formation Grand Assemblies, comparisons like this were not the first or second time, and at most they were just verbal disputes, which could not cause too much trouble.

Even the Core Formation True Persons who participated in the past, under the condition of not affecting the big plan in their hearts, mostly tended to attack the other side, so that their own momentum would be stronger.

For example, when Pei Zhi fought with Zuo Peng Zong and Peng Qian, the reason she let Zuo Peng Zong of Chiming go.

Among them, there was certainly the reason that Pei Zhi had to guard against Chen Heng and Yin Ruohua and try to preserve her primordial energy, but Pei Zhi and Zuo Peng Zong both belonged to the Eight Sects, which also had some influence.

But the presiding elders who came down to argue this time were Feng Xiao and Han Yi.

The feud between Feng Xiao and Chiming was already hard to explain in a few words.

Because of this, most of the disciples of the Eight Sects were also remembered by Feng Xiao in his heart.

At this time, seeing Song Feng of Tai Fu Palace, who came out to be a peacemaker, showing a bitter look.

In the main hall, a young man in a red robe and jade belt with heroic eyebrows and martial eyes shook his head, but he was too lazy to get involved in this.

He just walked towards Xun Bing, the presiding elder of Yuchen, nodded to the latter, toasted a glass of wine, and said politely:

"Good spirit, good prestige! Yuchen is worthy of being a high-ranking Immortal Sect. Just from the disciples in the sect, one can see that the foundation is extraordinary!"

Xun Bing recognized that this was Lu Jie, the presiding elder of the Zhong Yi Sword Sect.

When he was traveling in the Zheng Xu Heaven before, he had met this person several times, and they were not very unfamiliar with each other.

And after some humble words and pleasantries.

Seeing that Lu Jie's words vaguely meant to inquire about the Yuchen Dao Child, Xun Bing also felt a little helpless and straightened his expression slightly.

In fact, since Chen Heng slashed Chen Yushu's divine descent body and achieved a first-grade Golden Core, Xun Bing, an old subordinate of Jun Yao, had encountered a situation like today more than once.

Xun Bing guessed that if it weren't for the fact that there was still a Ji Fakai in the sect, making the World-Governing Founder hesitate,

I'm afraid that when Lu Shen's heads were sent to Xiao Ming Xiao Daze, the dispute over Xiyi Mountain should have been settled.

Even if Tai Chu and Zhang Shou and the others had stronger cultivation, it would be useless!

And Yuchen, as a great sect of the East Province, an ancient Immortal Sect.

Like this behemoth, every move will be the focus of countless people outside!

The change of power in the sect is not only related to the cultivators of the Yuchen main sect, but also inevitably involves the other Eight Sects and Six Sects.

Although Xun Bing's contact with Lu Jie was not frequent, he knew that this person was by no means the kind of person who liked to chew on tongues, but a full-fledged sword cultivator.

But now even he asked about the Yuchen Dao Child...

It is imaginable that Chen Heng's performance in the Core Formation Grand Assembly this time is truly worthy of the name of amazing talent.

Making countless people inevitably pay attention to the Dao dispute between Chen Heng and Ji Fakai in the future!

"Brother Jun... I'm afraid even you didn't expect that the little cultivator from the Southern Region back then could step by step reach today."

Thinking of this, Xun Bing's mood was truly hard to describe, and his gaze couldn't help but pause on Chen Heng.

At this moment, in the Huang Lao Sheji Map, Chen Heng had already arrived in a barren mountain and marsh.

He just casually opened a simple cave dwelling on the rock wall, then restrained his Qi, and seized the time to adjust his breath and recover.

And Xun Bing recalled that when Chen Heng was first brought to Xiao Ming Xiao Daze by Hou Wen, if it weren't for his own protection, he would have been killed by that furious Xiao Xiao Shixiong Wang with a single palm on the spot, dying unknown.

But now, the little cultivator from the Southern Region back then is already a dignified true disciple of Yuchen and the first disciple of the Daoist Founder.

In this Core Formation Grand Assembly, he used his own strength to force the heroes to bow their heads, making the True Persons outside look sideways, and completely famous in the Nine Provinces!

As for that Xiao Xiao Shixiong Wang and the few who attacked Chen Heng together back then.

After Chen Heng achieved the first-grade Golden Core, they were all sent out one after another, going to remote lands or realms to settle down, no different from exile, and had no momentum to speak of.

Thinking carefully, this is truly the flow of the Great Jun, and the world is fickle.

Even with the ability of divination, it is difficult to exhaust its changes...

"Even if he didn't win the Core Formation, with such a brilliant record, plus the previous things, it is enough to make most of the fellow disciples in the sect lean towards him!"

Xun Bing flashed a thought:

"I just don't know, in the Yu Qi Heaven, who won and who lost in the confrontation between Ji Fakai and the Xuan Feng Dao Child Mu Changzhi and Long Xiang Ao Yue?"

And at this time.

After a conversation.

Seeing that Xun Bing's words were sincere, and he really didn't dare to draw a conclusion about the future Yuchen Dao Child, and he, the confidant of the former Dao Child, didn't know any inside information.

Failing to find out the answer, Lu Jie was inevitably a little disappointed, but he didn't pester.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Lu Jie bowed his hands and smiled goodbye to Xun Bing.

"Six-Realm Operation Method, what a sword Dao talent... But since this person has such talent, and I heard he is on good terms with Uncle Qiao of the Golden Drum Cave.

Why didn't Uncle Qiao introduce him to Zhong Yi to learn the Dao back then, but instead let him enter the Yuchen lower courtyard?"

Now after returning to his seat, Lu Jie didn't need the maidservant who came up to serve him, just took the wine pot from the latter's hand and drank by himself.

Although his gaze fell on Feng Xiao and Han Yi in the hall, his mind couldn't help but recall something before the start of the Core Formation Grand Assembly.

At that time, seeing Chen Heng and Yin Wuji exchange a palm, and noticing the sharpness of Chen Heng's sword intent, the old monks of the Great Brahma Temple who had only recently left seclusion and had long ignored world affairs also had a love for talent, regarding Chen Heng as a sword cultivator of Zhong Yi, and asked Lu Jie about his master.

Such a misidentification, even with Lu Jie's temperament, made him feel that he couldn't hold his face at that time.

And Zhong Yi, as the number one sword sect in the Nine Provinces and Four Seas, in the past Core Formation Grand Assemblies, no matter what the divine abilities of the disciples were, they were often the first in sword Dao, and no one could shake this.

But it just so happened that this time there was a Chen Heng who also had the Six-Realm Operation Method.

He not only defeated Shen Xingcui, but could also compete with Zhou Fujia.

This matter...

"It's a pity, if Chen Heng were my Zhong Yi disciple, this Core Formation Grand Assembly would have been the time for our generation of sword cultivators to shine!"

Lu Jie shook his head, feeling emotional in his heart:

"Founder Minqiu has returned from the Dharma Saint Heaven, he must also be paying attention to this Core Formation Grand Assembly.

With this founder's temperament, I'm afraid he will inevitably complain about Uncle Qiao and feel pity for his talent?"

And seven days passed in a hurry.

During this period, in the Huang Lao Sheji Map, another copper fish appeared, causing a fight.

On this day, Lu Jie, who was meditating and contemplating in the hall, felt something was wrong.

His eyelids moved, and he saw that the presiding elders in the hall, such as Feng Xiao, Han Yi, and Song Feng, were all looking over, their eyes slightly strange.

Lu Jie frowned and scanned the sky, releasing his divine sense, and soon learned what had happened.

"Nephew Zhou..."

Lu Jie was rarely helpless and sighed secretly.

At the same time.

In the Huang Lao Sheji Map.

Liao Huidu, who had just barely recovered from his injuries, threw a talisman to form an array, trapping a winged evil dragon in it, and no matter how the dragon rushed left and right, it could not escape the restraint.

However, before Liao Huidu could go up to take the heart essence blood of this fierce beast, there was a sudden whistling sound in the distance, booming and ringing, shaking the air and scattering the light, as if a violent wave was coming, rolling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth up and down, a mess!

Recalling that he hadn't encountered anything good since entering the Huang Lao Sheji Map, Liao Huidu felt a chill in his heart for no reason.

He waved his hand to withdraw the talisman array, causing the bewildered fierce dragon to flee for its life after a moment of hesitation. Then he raised a jade plate the size of a head, causing it to drop strips of bright light like Ganoderma, covering his whole body.

Not long after, the huge sound seemed to move over, getting closer and closer.

And a cold sword intent that filled heaven and earth, as if it wanted to kill everything, made Liao Huidu's mind tense.

"It really is Zhou Fujia..."

Seeing the figure wielding a sword in the dense clouds, coming and going with ease, Liao Huidu sighed with relief.

The sound shook the earth, and the sword light flashed.

After being unable to avoid it and hard-clashing with Zhou Fujia's flying sword again, Lu Tingyun, who had long been unable to support himself, finally couldn't bear it, spat out a mouthful of blood, and was shaken away for hundreds of feet.

And if it weren't for He Lizi intervening in time, I'm afraid Lu Tingyun would have been more severely injured.

But precisely because of the sudden intervention, the pressure on He Lizi's side also increased sharply.

He retreated steadily under Zhou Fujia's storm-like offensive, and in just a short moment, he vaguely showed signs of defeat, his face flushed red.

"Zhou Fujia is facing He Lizi and Brother Lu... and this scene, I actually happened to run into it?"

Liao Huidu really didn't know what expression he should have, just stood silently in place, his heart inexplicably amused.

And Lu Tingyun, who had just caught his breath, shook his head.

After taking the elixir, he swept his gaze towards Liao Huidu in the distance and hurriedly used a sound transmission method.

"Brother Liao, leave quickly. If you delay any longer, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."

After saying this, seeing that Liao Huidu's face didn't seem to have any movement, Lu Tingyun hurriedly added a sentence, his voice helpless:

"Don't think that because you are a member of the Eight Sects of the Mystic Gate, Xiao Xiao Shixiong Zhou won't attack you and will deliberately show mercy.

I think this person is already fighting to the point of excitement, even I, a person of the same sect, can't get away. Right now, I'm afraid that even if a dog passes by, it will be slashed twice by Xiao Xiao Shixiong Zhou!"

"It's probably too late to say these things now..."

Sensing a sword intent falling from afar, although it was hidden and not released, it made his skin ache, and his eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of blurred light, unable to see clearly.

Liao Huidu smiled bitterly, took a few talismans in his hand, and sighed to Lu Tingyun.

As his voice fell, a sudden loud shock exploded in the distance, and the fierce golden energy, like a stimulated arrow, instantly cut off the high mountain, stirring the broken rocks in the sky into pieces!

In the air wave, only He Lizi's figure was seen falling out like a kite with a broken string, blood overflowing from his mouth and nose.
