Chapter 613: The Left Envoy
Chapter 613: The Left Envoy
Qingmu Mountain.
Shennong Hall.
As Fang Xing was engrossed in planting trees, he suddenly heard the rapid ringing of a bell.
The sound of the bell seemed endless, echoing throughout the entire mountain range.
After the bell tolled more than thirty-six times, all the cultivators' faces changed dramatically.
"The Qingmu Bell ringing forty-nine times... Is there a calamity powerful enough to destroy the sect? Could it be that the Kill-Life Cult has truly arrived?"
A hint of curiosity flashed across Fang Xing's lips as he rode on his escape light and arrived at the Ancestor Hall.
As far as he could see, the three Yinshen Immortals, including Qing Yuzi, and numerous Daoji cultivators, were all present.
'Over the years, although Qingmu Mountain has been generously distributing Daoji spiritual objects, there is still a failure rate in achieving the Daoji realm...'
'Even now, there are still fewer than a hundred Daoji cultivators...'
Fang Xing scanned the crowd once more, sighing inwardly.
After the battle with the Xue Ying Clan, being driven to the sect's foundation, the damage to Qingmu Mountain was immense, and it would take hundreds of years to recover.
"Everyone..."
Qing Yuzi, carrying a wooden sword, looked around and raised his hand to cast a restriction, sealing off the entire Ancestor Hall.
Then, he actually took a step back, indicating that he was not the host of this meeting.
'If even Qing Yuzi is not the host... What does that mean?'
Fang Xing's eyes widened in surprise.
Indeed, in the next moment, a tall figure in a green robe appeared.
His face was adorned with intertwined whiskers; if it wasn't Qingmu Lao Zu, then who could it be?
'Hmm? That's not right!'
Fang Xing, now an 18th-level Druid, had naturally become more keen in his perception. Moreover, being a Yinshen Immortal himself and cultivating the 'Xuexie Yansheng' Divine Art, he understood it well.
Therefore, he could sense that Qingmu Lao Zu's body, though it appeared old, was actually very 'new'!
'It's as if he had prepared a drop of essence blood in advance and then used the Xuexie Yansheng Divine Art to regrow it...'
'And although he tried to conceal it, his aura is somewhat weak... Is this a post-resurrection symptom?'
'Did Qingmu Lao Zu encounter a formidable enemy and have his original body slain outside?'
Fang Xing lowered his eyes, his face devoid of emotion.
Qingmu Lao Zu looked around and said, "The Kill-Life Cult has come from the south, and it's a done deal!"
Upon hearing this, many disciples' faces turned pale.
"Silence!"
Qing Yuzi stepped forward, his cold and stern gaze sweeping the crowd, suppressing all chaos.
"According to the Ten Clans Alliance, Qingmu Mountain will be forced to feed the tiger..."
Qing Yuzi continued, "But Lao Zu, taking an extraordinary risk, has obtained evidence of the Kill-Life Cult's intention to annihilate the Ten Major Clans..."
'What evidence?'
Fang Xing was curious, thinking, 'Could it be that he sold himself out?'
After all, at the higher levels, raw strength is laid bare, leaving little room for conspiracies.
Qingmu Lao Zu had no choice but to either sell himself out or face death.
With the Yangshen cultivator's nature of valuing his life, it was most likely that he sold himself out.
'And combined with their recent resurrection methods, could it be that even as a dog, no one wanted them?'
Fang Xing inwardly mocked, barely suppressing a laugh.
'Wait, I can't laugh... If I do, I'll have to eliminate Qingmu Lao Zu, and then... Well, it's not impossible... Now, the entire Qingmu Mountain can be strengthened to become my domain—'Lin zhong sheng di', but Qingmu Lao Zu's strength, though in the Yangshen realm, is among the weaker ones in the early stages... And he just lost his original body, so even with a backup, his strength will be weakened by a third...'
'If I were to rise up now, using my Yinshen Immortal strength to slay a Yangshen cultivator, I would become the new Lao Zu of Qingmu Mountain!'
'But this character setup doesn't seem to suit me...'
After some thought, Fang Xing decided not to showcase his extreme abilities. He watched as Qingmu Lao Zu issued orders and instructed the Yinshen Immortals and Daoji cultivators to contact various parties.
Even Min Tangzhu was sent out to contact the Gua Shu Sect.
Hearing this, the cultivators present felt much better.
Compared to being abandoned by the Ten Major Clans before, they could now join forces against their enemy.
The reputation of the Ten Righteous and Evil Clans spread far and wide, and it wasn't for nothing! Or perhaps, these cultivators from beyond the mortal realm didn't truly understand the might of the Da Zhou Dynasty.
But in their eyes, even if their own sect wasn't a match for the Kill-Life Cult, with ten clans united, they could even hold off the Great Zhou Dynasty, so they must be able to repel the Kill-Life Cult!
Fang Xing observed with a cold gaze, feeling that the situation wasn't as optimistic as it seemed.
Taking advantage of Min Tangzhu's absence, he immediately mobilized a large number of people to continue planting trees!
...
Several months later.
Qingyu Hall.
"This Kill-Life Cult is indeed a bunch of lunatics..."
Fang Xing looked at the battered Fei Yong and couldn't help but shake his head. "They didn't even try to argue and directly declared war on the Ten Righteous and Evil Clans?"
Fei Yong, having received treatment from Fang Xing, was already feeling much better than when he first saw him. Upon hearing this, he bitterly smiled and said, "Exactly... But these lunatics are also extremely powerful, even the Flying Sword School couldn't hold their heads high..."
Recently, with the evidence provided by Qingmu Lao Zu, the Ten Major Clans finally had no choice but to join hands again to resist the invasion of the Kill-Life Cult.
It was unknown what the Qingmu Mountain cultivators would feel if they encountered Xue Ying Clan cultivators in the same trench on the battlefield. But the Kill-Life Cult was indeed determined, and they invaded in a grand manner.
On the Flying Sword School's front line, the battles had already torn the land apart, leaving behind a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Even though the Ten Major Clans of the Righteous and Evil factions joined forces, the Flying Sword School, the Gua Shu Sect, and Qingmu Mountain were the ones who contributed the most, simply because they were the closest.
Fei Yong had only been to the front lines once, and he was carried back.
"Fortunately, although the battle was fierce, our Qingmu Mountain's position is now secured."
Fei Yong took a sip of the spiritual tea, appearing quite optimistic.
"I wonder what's gotten into the Kill-Life Cult, for even the Left Envoy has personally come to Beyond the Mortal Realm to oversee the battle..."
Fang Xing shook his head, "The Kill-Life Cult is very powerful as a whole, and the Da Zhou generals at the Three Absolute Pass are just watching from the sidelines, waiting for us to weaken ourselves... I believe the pressure on the front lines is immense."
The Kill-Life Cult had a True God to worship, and its followers were extremely powerful, even possessing some unique abilities.
The situation on the front lines was dire.
However, for Qingmu Mountain, everything was worth celebrating.
"Hmm..."
Fei Yong thought for a moment, then sighed.
After so many years of living in fear, now that the stone had finally fallen, he felt a strange sense of relief.
"But... the Kill-Life Cult is willing to pay such a price just to enter Beyond the Mortal Realm."
The latest, smallest, and most talked-about book in the last six months is about to be released!
Fang Xing's eyebrows rose, "Could it be... that the being they worship has encountered some issue?"
"Can a True God have problems?"
Fei Yong blinked, as if he had never considered this aspect before.
"Think about it, the Kill-Life Cult, which had always been strong in the Da Zhou Dynasty, suddenly suffered a setback... Even though they later won a great victory to make up for it, it wasn't fake."
Fang Xing smiled, "This seems to explain some problems... Or perhaps, the Kill-Life Cult has decided to betray the True God they worship and become like us, those without faith?"
The strength of the Da Zhou Dynasty lies in the word 'God'.
Fei Yong's eyes widened, and for a moment, he seemed to have forgotten how to speak.
...
Outside the Three Absolute Pass.
Black Law King gazed towards the northeast, his expression complex.
At this moment, he had already broken through the bottleneck and reached the Middle Yangshen Realm!
The higher the cultivation realm, the greater the gap.
Even if an ordinary Yangshen Realm cultivator at the Middle Realm was only one small realm away from the Late Realm, the actual gap was even greater than that between a Late Dao Ji cultivator and a Yinshen Immortal!
"Da Zhou..."
"Just thinking about how half of our sect's strength has to leave this place, and I'm among them... It's truly a bit melancholy."
"Hehe..."
A sharp, thin laughter rang out, and it was none other than White Law King, "The Heaven Court is powerful, and temporarily avoiding the sharp edge is unavoidable... Those clowns and dogs of the Ten Major Clans in Beyond the Mortal Realm are mostly remnants of the ancient Dao traditions. How could they know the strength of a sect protected by a True God?"
Ancient Dao traditions!
Black Law King chewed on this term, then suddenly laughed.
The older it is, the stronger it is not! It's more likely to be an abandoned antique! If it weren't for the special circumstances of Beyond the Mortal Realm, these ancient Dao traditions would have been swept away by the Da Zhou Dynasty long ago.
Even now, as long as they are willing to pay the price, sweeping through Beyond the Mortal Realm wouldn't be too difficult.
It's just that due to some special factors, and with Beyond the Mortal Realm serving as a place of exile, they have reluctantly tolerated it.
The Three Absolute Pass is more like a prison guard watching over the exiles than a frontline fortress resisting the invasion of Beyond the Mortal Realm.
They have always been open to the self-exiled extraordinary sects of the Da Zhou Dynasty.
However, after the exile, returning is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
"Hmm, let's go!"
Black Law King and White Law King arrived at a military camp.
Inside the camp, one could see strange guards wearing black armor everywhere.
These guards' armor was pitch-black, adorned with unique patterns and symbols, emitting powerful spiritual light.
On their faces, bodies, and even their skin, there were strange black tattoos.
"Five thousand Guardian Guards..."
Black Law King glanced around, feeling extremely satisfied.
This was an army blessed by the gods, not only obedient but also cheap to train! Each of them was equivalent to a cultivator at the Ninth Level of the Ancient Dao Traditions, yet they could unleash the power of the Dao Ji Realm when working together in a formation, and their strength would soar.
The two entered the main tent and saw another person, a handsome scholar holding a folding fan.
But if Qingmu Lao Zu saw this person, he would be shocked beyond belief.
Because this person's Yangshen Realm thoughts were already like a living being, and he was a Late Realm Great Cultivator!
"Left Envoy!"
Black Law King and White Law King hurriedly paid their respects.
"Hmm, this time, the sect has decided to thoroughly clear out Beyond the Mortal Realm. I've been given a divine artifact to bring here... I haven't used it until now to show weakness to the enemy, in order to buy time and set up an ultra-large-scale ritual."
Left Envoy's voice was gentle, and he carried an air of a gentleman, as pure as jade, "We will use the destruction of the entire Beyond the Mortal Realm to please our master!"
A divine artifact!
This was the unique foundation of the Kill-Life Cult, and it was even what they relied on to defeat the Da Zhou Dynasty.
"Yes!"
Black Law King and White Law King looked at each other, both a little excited.
Although they were assigned to this place, it seemed like a demotion, but the sect seemed to value them.
Moreover, there were many offerings to please the gods and gain divine blessings.
So, it seemed not too bad?
