Chapter 326: Killing Back with Sword

The evil seeds came unexpectedly, causing chaos across the Kyushu continent in an instant.

A large number of immortal sects and families fell apart in this collision, and countless cultivators who had wasted their time returned their souls to the sea in the whistling corpse tide.

Only some family members who reacted in advance found a glimmer of survival, barely saving their lives while running east and west.

Asking Dao Mountain in Yuzhou, Huangyun Mountain in Qingzhou, Spirit Sword Mountain in Lingzhou, Five-Color Cliff in Youzhou, and Profound Origin Mountain at the border of Yunzhou and Youzhou.

In the few dojos that ruled the entire Azure Cloud World, countless ancestors and gods stood in the void, looking down at the messy Kyushu land, their deep eyes seeming to hide endless mysterious seas.

There is no doubt that this is a shocking change.

What needs to be investigated clearly now is where the change came from.

The Asking Dao Sect Abbot held two crimson jade balls in his hand and turned to look at the Taoist serving behind him.

"Send a message to the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, asking them to deduce the heavenly secrets."

"Yes."

The serving Taoist immediately bowed and took the order, then drifted down the mountain in the sea of clouds.

Soon, the five great Hall Masters of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan received the message, and five imperial edicts with golden light floating down from the sky appeared before them; although the wording was different, the purpose was to know the deduction of heavenly secrets.

At this time, the five great Hall Masters were on the cliff of the Cloud Mist Mountain, and after seeing the message, their brows were tightly locked.

As one of the seven great Immortal Sects, the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, which possesses the title of Great Xia Holy Sect, has always been famous for its heavenly secret techniques, capable of calculating the world and knowing the past and present.

However, heavenly secret techniques are difficult to cultivate, and until now, only You Yingqiu has had some understanding.

And after the outbreak of the corpse tide, they had already protected her to deduce the heavenly secrets for the first time, and now the deduction had just ended.

But in the process of deduction, all they could see was a pitch-black piece, boundless, but they did not get any revelation from the Heavenly Dao.

That is to say, what they deduced had already involved the Heavenly Dao.

Heavenly secret techniques are indeed unfathomable, but human power can only deduce all living beings; how can it deduce the Heavenly Dao itself.

Zuo Qiuyang stood with his back to the sea of clouds at this time, looking at the four junior brothers and sisters: "Sometimes having no revelation is perhaps a kind of revelation; this disaster might be a heavenly tribulation."

Chai Hu stared at him for a long time: "Are you saying that our human race has angered the heavens?"

"The major Immortal Sects should be clear about what they have done that violates the Heavenly Dao."

"Is the Senior Brother referring to the ruins?"

Zuo Qiuyang looked at Chai Hu: "Naturally, it is there."

Lu Fengxian could not help but take over the conversation: "The five of us brothers have all studied the Dao fruits in those ruins; what is hidden in them is all Heavenly Dao power, so how can it be said to be violating the Heavenly Dao."

"What does the Junior Sister think?"

Zuo Qiuyang turned his head to look at You Yingqiu, and saw that she did not say a word, drawing divine talismans.

At dusk, following a burst of golden light, a huge talisman order condensed in the void and was transmitted in all directions.

After receiving the feedback, countless big figures of the Immortal Sect fell into silence, and then put their gaze toward the southeast, northwest, and the ruins surrounded by evil seeds.

A thousand years ago, the Primordial Relic Race killed toward the Heavenly Dao, and the emperor at that time used great magic power to trap the sky, attempting to replace it.

Afterward, the Heavenly Dao descended the holy artifact, endowed the human race with great magic power, and exterminated the Relic Race; the human Dao flourished, and then everything about the Relic Race was regarded by the Heavenly Dao as something that needed to be extinguished.

For example, the techniques circulated by the Relic Race back then, the divine artifacts they used, were all turned into dust under the heavenly might, not tolerated by the laws of heaven and earth.

So everyone knew in their hearts that the things in the ruins should also be considered one of them.

But during this period of time, the major Immortal Sects were all opening the ruins and seizing immortal fate; perhaps it was precisely because of this matter that they angered the might of the Heavenly Dao, and thus descended this magnificent tribulation, warning them not to cross the line.

This seems to respond to that old saying, those who follow heaven will prosper, those who go against heaven will perish.

The method given by the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan was to go and close the ruins, completely sealing them up.

On Asking Dao Mountain, Huangyun Mountain, Spirit Sword Mountain, and Five-Color Cliff, the many Immortal Sect great experts had unclear meanings when they saw this golden post.

Pfft—

A beam of finger light shot from the high mountain, and one of the golden posts was slashed into golden clouds across the sky; an Asking Dao Sect elder raised his eyebrows, left a sentence of "nonsense," and drifted away.

Not to mention that the corpse tide is like the sea now, and wanting to approach the ruins is harder than ascending to the sky.

Just talking about the immortal fate surging with immortal opportunities, it is not something these cultivators can say they will give up.

Human greed is infinite; why only live a hundred years when you can live a thousand, and how can you be satisfied with only the Boundless Realm when you can travel the spirit.

Not to mention that this is just a corpse tide; no matter how ferocious and cruel those dead shells are, they are ultimately just dead things without consciousness; how can they be considered a heavenly tribulation.

"First ask the elders of the Elder Pavilion to take action and lead the disciples to resist the corpse tide."

"Temporarily ignore the places with the most evil corpses like Zhongzhou, Qingzhou, and Liangzhou, and first ensure the places north of Shengjing, receiving the fugitives to avoid disaster."

On the Cloud Mist Mountain peak, Zuo Qiuyang got up and left above the sea of clouds, walking to the huge mountain bell under the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan Peak.

In fact, regarding the result that the major Immortal Sects were unwilling to give up the immortal fate in the ruins, he had expected it before sending the message.

Cultivating immortality by human power is too bitter; many people sit for a lifetime and achieve little, only to stop before the Great Dao; now that there is a shortcut to ascend to the sky in one step, it is not easy to ask people to give it up.

Not to mention the five great Immortal Sects, even within their Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, they were eager for this Dao fruit.

Clang—

Clang—

Clang—

As the mountain bell was struck, several elders landed, and countless inner courtyard disciples were also summoned to go.

After receiving the Hall Master's imperial order, these people all began to get up and go in all directions of Shengjing City.

It was just that the evil seeds blocking in front of the imperial city array were like a tsunami, and the crowd killing out from the city would surge again as soon as they killed a piece, almost unable to move an inch.

Even if an elder tore a gap with a technique, most Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciples did not dare to move forward.

Because once they left the city too far, the corpse tide would return, and they might not even be able to retreat if they wanted to.

At the same time, Shengjing City was already overcrowded.

Not to mention tea houses, wine shops, immortal gardens, and restaurants, even the streets were crowded with people.

These people were either some families who fled, who had fled into the city before the corpse tide became a trend, and were now panting and looking outside the city.

Zhila zhila—

Evil seeds hit the array like a tide, making a tooth-aching tearing sound.

The entire array trembled violently, and the golden immortal light was like hot oil poured into a cold pot, shooting wildly, exploding countless dazzling light spots in the pitch-black evil tide.

The evil seeds in the front row were slaughtered as soon as they touched the array, but the evil seeds behind would whistle and come, stepping on the remains of their companions to surge up, frantically biting the array light that was trembling constantly.

The intersection of golden light and black mist erupted with blinding white light, and every collision stirred up ring-shaped air waves.

The array patterns flickered uncertainly, sometimes the golden light was magnificent, crushing hundreds of evil seeds, sometimes the black tide pressed the light curtain to dent and deform, and the broken evil seed limbs were trampled into meat mud by the subsequent kind before they landed.

Seeing this scene, although some people knew that this array of the same origin as the Northern Border could block the barbarian race for a thousand years and would definitely not be crushed, they still could not help but feel terrified, as if they would be drowned by evil seeds in the next second.

"Family Head Zhao, you have worked hard all the way; as long as you enter the city, you will definitely be fine. My Prince invites you to go and rest."

"Family Head Zhou, elders, my Prince invites you to go and rest and dine."

"Elder Wu, my Prince..."

"Family Head He, Family Head Zuoqiu, take your clansmen to my courtyard to rest for a while first."

On Yong'an and Changsheng Streets, countless figures were constantly shuttling among these exiled family members, inviting big figures into a huge mansion.

At this time, Prince Chong, Prime Minister Wei, Minister of Rites, and other pro-immortal officials were all arching their hands to welcome them at the door.

Back then, the pro-immortal faction controlled the tax and participated in the spirit stone business in Yunzhou, accumulating countless wealth; they had many such mansions.

In the eyes of others, this disaster was a catastrophe, but in the eyes of Prince Chong and others, it was a splashing opportunity.

So they opened their mansions wide, prepared countless immortal wines and spirit stones, and gathered all the doctors in the city in the courtyard, inviting those famous and noble family big figures to go and rest, without charging a penny.

Because in their view, this evil seed tide will eventually pass; with this incense friendship in this dangerous moment, in the future, not to mention the Immortal Inspection Supervisor, even the throne will be in their pocket.

After inviting for a long time, Prince Chong's mansion gradually began to be full.

After supplementing with spirit stones, the heads of each family climbed to the high building in the courtyard, looking at the boundless corpse tide, and the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan elders and disciples constantly slaughtering evil seeds.

Before, because they were focused on bringing their clansmen to Shengjing, many questions were temporarily suppressed, and after getting a chance to breathe, those questions began to rise in their hearts.

Why did the evil seeds suddenly rage, where did these evil seeds come from?

The Azure Cloud World has the saying of cause and effect; they never believe in fruits without causes.

The Zuoqiu family head was named Zuoqiu Jingyun, and he was the cousin of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan's Zuoqiu Hall Master. Although he was younger than Zuoqiu Yang, because of the problem of cultivation and lifespan, he was already white-haired at this time.

Looking at the corpse tide blood sea, Zuoqiu Jingyun could not help but speak softly.

"Everyone in the world knows that the only places that can accommodate so many evil seeds are those boundless ruins."

Hearing this, the heads of the families all around could not help but freeze their eyes.

After the Qiling incident, the six great Immortal Sects guarded all the ruins in the name of demon chaos in Azure Cloud, marking a hundred miles of land, strictly defending, and not allowing anyone to approach.

Some small families near the ruins even moved away from their ancestral land because of this.

But now that thousands of evil seeds have surged out from the ruins, there is only one answer.

"It seems that the Immortal Sect is stealing from the guards."

Family Head He, He Ye, spoke softly, his gaze undoubtedly deep.

He and the Zuoqiu family were in-law families; his wife was the youngest sister of Zuoqiu Jingyun, and his daughter was a personally taught disciple of the Zizai Hall.

Compared with some other families, their status was higher, so naturally they were not afraid of the Immortal Sect's power and dared to discuss it.

Hearing this, everyone could not help but recall the young and outrageous Immortal Sect talents at the Wandering Immortal Assembly, recalled those old Immortal Sect friends whose cultivation had progressed rapidly after not seeing them for many years, and recalled that just after the Wandering Immortal Assembly ended, a three-sect war broke out on the Yuepo Plateau where the ruins existed.

There is no doubt that they obtained something extraordinary in the ruins, but it triggered this shocking change, causing countless families to be displaced and suffer countless deaths and injuries.

Just at this time, three figures whistled from the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan direction.

He Lingxiu, Chai Ze, and Shi Junhao, who had been in seclusion for more than a year, drifted into the courtyard and stepped onto the high building of Prince Chong's mansion. ===== CHAPTER 327 =====
