Chapter 703: Where is Nanyang? I'm Protecting the Scripture (Happy New Year, everyone!)
Perhaps these Heaven's Pride had not involved themselves in worldly affairs for many years, or maybe it was due to their status and cultivation that they themselves didn't care about the thoughts of others.
Hence, that bit of thought was written all over their faces.
Several Shenxu Fengzhu's eyes changed at that moment. Qian Feng Dao Ren raised his eyebrows and said, "If it's just about the Scripture of Tribulation, there's no need for Tian Dan Shidi to take action. We..."
It was common knowledge that regarding the matter of Taixu Danhuang slaying Qingluan, their Shenxu Mountain actually understood more than outsiders. Up until now, there was still a lingering thought of taking the blame.
If Tian Dan Shidi was truly unparalleled in the world, suppressing those of the same realm in Grade 4, it was unlikely that the various Fengzhu would be moved by these people's thoughts. But precisely because these people's guesses were probably true, it became unbearable.
"Shut up."
Jinlei Dao Ren glanced casually and raised his palm again, inviting this group of Heaven's Pride to enter the peak for cultivation: "If you all want to find my Tian Dan Shidi, you can go to the fifth peak. That Ye Lan junior has a good relationship with her, and you can ask her about anything."
"Thank you for your hospitality."
The group of Heaven's Pride returned the courtesy with a bow, and since they also needed a quiet place to discuss important matters, they no longer declined and directly flew into the Dan Peak.
"Senior Brother, why are you stopping me?"
After the outsiders left, Qian Feng Dao Ren clenched his palm with some frustration: "This is not a matter of tarnishing our Shenxu Mountain's prestige. Tian Dan Shidi is indeed young, but we are not embroidering pillows. It's just a matter of seizing a scripture. Who would still fear that group of thief monks?"
His cultivation was two thousand three hundred tribulations, although not as high as this group of Heaven's Pride, but he was much older, with numerous means and artifacts, rich in combat experience. If they really fought, it wouldn't necessarily mean losing to these people.
"You're showing off."
Jinlei Dao Ren looked on indifferently. Mu Yang father and son had not returned yet, and there was no news at all, which had already confirmed his suspicions.
Tian Dan was definitely not a junior as imagined by these people. At the very least, he was a Heaven's Pride not inferior to those in front of him.
Looking at the attitude of the master when he woke up last time, it was necessary to strongly promote Tian Dan. Since it was like this, how could this group of people go and steal the other party's limelight? They needed to work quietly and wholeheartedly assist.
"Even if I don't take action, I should at least go and take a look."
Jinxue Dao Ren, who rarely stepped forward, had not appeared in the immortal sect for a long time.
According to common sense, this matter involved the tribulations of the entire world. The elder of the lineage should have taken charge of the situation long ago. Unfortunately, their master was different from the other Dalu Xianzun, always asleep and uninvolved in worldly affairs.
If they also stood by and watched, Shenxu Mountain would truly be completely excluded.
When the order of heaven and earth is re-established, it is feared that it will be left far behind by the immortal lineage of the same sect.
Hearing this, Jinlei Dao Ren no longer argued and lightly nodded: "Alright."
During the discussion among the many Fengzhu, the Dan Peak was also quite lively.
These Heaven's Pride looked at Ye Lan, and there was no sign of looking down on her. With the identity of a third-generation disciple, she had been famous in the Sanzhen Sect long ago and received much attention. However, something happened later, and gradually, there was no news.
Now, she has even lost the position of the Shenxu Peak Master.
If this great tribulation were delayed by a few hundred years, and when this young girl reached Grade 4, with her talent, she would not be below two thousand five hundred tribulations and would also be qualified to walk side by side with him and the others.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs in the world.
A step late, and every step after is late.
The fact that she couldn't make it to this last moment also meant that she had no connection with the great tribulation and would henceforth be forgotten by everyone.
"Why hasn't Taixu Danhuang returned?"
"..."
Ye Lan fell silent for a moment. When she received the letter from the mountain, she didn't even think of notifying Shen Yi.
Firstly, the other party was refining pills and shouldn't be disturbed. Secondly, she was clearer than anyone else that Shen Yi and Puti Jiao had a deep grudge. Shenxu Lao Zu might not genuinely want to help Shen Yi, and the other party had no reason to fight for Shenxu Mountain.
Moreover, this junior uncle was a court official in the Dismantling Demon Bureau. For this matter of the Scripture of Tribulation, the court would most likely have to rely on this Nanyang General to take action.
"My junior uncle is traveling in the immortal wilderness, seeking heavenly treasures to refine pills. It's really hard to get in touch with him." She bowed respectfully in response.
"Sigh, I almost forgot."
Perhaps this person was famous for slaying Qingluan.
Everyone then realized that Taixu Danhuang was a master of pill refining, and combat was just a minor skill.
Regardless of the truth, it was at least a reasonable excuse, not making Sanzhen Jiao look down upon Puti Jiao.
"Forget it, forget it."
Someone waved their hand and turned to ask: "How much longer until Tiandong Daoyou arrives?"
The Heaven's Pride beside them shook their heads helplessly: "The Fairy said she didn't want to get involved in these matters. If she has time later, she might come to take a look."
"This..." Everyone's faces changed abruptly.
It was common knowledge that although they looked confident now, the Great Grade 3 Arhat appointed by Puti Jiao were all cultivating the top ten fruit positions. When they reached Grade 4, they also took an extraordinary path.
In addition, there was an unknown Dragon-Subduing and Tiger-Taming Damingwang whose strength was unfathomable.
Having him take over the mission of Jinchan Luohan wouldn't be a bad idea.
With the absence of the Taixu Danhuang, Lady Tiandong politely declined.
Relying solely on themselves, their chances of success were not high.
Usually, they all acted so arrogantly, but when it came to taking action, they suddenly shrank back.
"Heh, she's clever," Tianwu Xuanwu suddenly chuckled, instantly understanding Lady Tiandong's thoughts, "She wants to reap the benefits of this great tribulation but doesn't want to dirty her pure hands."
If everyone acted like her, there would be no such thing as a great tribulation.
Unfortunately, he didn't need these empty titles. With just the Dao Sword at his waist, he could slay celestial cultivators and demons, absorb the fortune of the mortal world, ascend to the third rank, and seize the throne of the supreme Xian Di in the world!
"There's no need to wait any longer."
Xuanwu Daoren turned and left the mountain peak, heading straight west.
Those who are hesitant and indecisive will never accomplish anything.
First, slay the Luohans outside the Shengchao, unify the young Tianjiao of the Xianmen, then drive the Great Demons to invade Shengchao, kill a million lives, and use the Dao Sword to protect the four continents, swallowing the ignorant fortune of the mortal world.
It's that simple, why make it so complicated?
"..."
The remaining Tianjiao fell silent, each with their own thoughts.
Some were worried, while others were displeased with Xuanwu's attitude of taking the lead. After all, they were just a few steps ahead in the fourth rank, and once they entered the third rank, it was uncertain who would be stronger.
But no matter what, they couldn't recognize the Buddhist scripture, and now they could only rely on their opponent.
With this in mind, everyone followed closely behind and swiftly left Shenxu Mountain.
...
"We must stop them before they reach the Twenty-Seven Prefectures!" Several Named Generals spoke with righteous indignation, their eyes fixed on the hall's entrance.
"Who will stop them?"
Yang Mingli sat quietly behind the desk, asking a question that seemed more like a mockery, as there was not a hint of expectation for an answer in his turbid eyes.
The Named Generals stepped forward in unison, almost ready to accept the order, but upon meeting Yang's gaze, they all suddenly remembered something and hesitated.
Not only the Xianmen, the court, and the common folk, but also the demons were aware of the Buddhist teachings' preaching event.
Unless they were fools, they could guess that the court, though unable to refuse, would surely find a way to sabotage it.
However, precisely because of this, the internal defense was weak, presenting an excellent opportunity to attack! Previously, in Songfeng Prefecture, the Demon Clan seemed to have suffered heavy losses, but the eight fourth-rank demons, evenly distributed among the three Great Demons, had lost less than three of their kind, far from being a defeat.
At the very least, organizing another similar attack wouldn't be a problem.
Moreover, having learned from the previous experience, the Great Demons would certainly not throw all their strength into one prefecture again. Instead, they would disperse and break through from all directions.
"Even if we take a step back," Yang Mingli said, flipping through the Immortal Registry, "Outside of Shengchao, without the suppression of Huangqi, can you still consider yourselves fourth-rank cultivators in front of those Tianjiao and Great Luohans?"
"..."
The crowd's faces changed again, their helplessness now mixed with bitterness.
Why did General Yang have to belittle his own side in such a situation? It was truly annoying!
Just then, Fengxi slowly stood up and headed towards the hall's entrance.
As a third-rank powerhouse, dealing with a group of Great Luohans and Taiyi True Immortals was more than manageable.
But Yang Mingli didn't even lift an eyelid, "If you want to go, I won't stop you. I just want to remind you that there are many people waiting for you outside."
The latest, newest, smallest, and most talked-about novel is here!
Those Bodhisattvas, Great Luo Xianzun, and even the likes of Nanhuang, may hold their identities in high regard and be reluctant to take risks.
However, if the opportunity is right and there's no risk of injury, they probably wouldn't mind taking action to slay a third-rank powerhouse of Shengchao.
One might even say that if Fengxi died, the cost would be no different from the success of the Buddhist teachings' preaching.
Finally, Yang Mingli openly mocked, though it seemed he was also mocking himself.
Not only did his subordinates dislike him, but he also disliked his tendency to overthink.
He wanted to think everything through in advance, planning each step, but the more he thought, the more hopeless the situation seemed.
"What should we do now?"
The Named Generals looked at each other, suddenly remembering something, and turned to look at General Feng.
"Nanyang!"
Feng Xi felt the gazes from behind her, but she didn't turn around. A hint of emotion gradually appeared on her graceful face.
In such a dangerous situation, there was only one person who could break through.
Wushan sighed, "General Feng has already tried. When I returned to Jinguang Prefecture, Ye Lan was called back to Shenxu Mountain, leaving only General Nanyang in Jianyang Prefecture to refine the elixir. But when I went back to look for him, he was already gone, and I couldn't reach him. I don't know what he's busy with."
"..."
Yang Mingli slowly closed the Immortal Registry in his hand. When Feng Xi volunteered, she didn't mention General Nanyang, and Yang Mingli had probably already guessed it.
According to the rules, a Named General leaving without notice and suddenly losing contact is a serious offense.
Using common sense, it's highly likely that he anticipated this matter but didn't want to take the risk, so he quietly left to avoid the spotlight temporarily.
Yang Mingli didn't want to treat that young man with such malicious speculation, so he didn't bother to think further.
After all...
Even if General Nanyang left Shengchao directly and never returned, he was still a great contributor to the defense of Songfeng Prefecture. He had fulfilled his duty to Shengchao.
"Let's disperse, that's it."
Yang Mingli waved his hand casually and leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes to rest.
But the dusk aura on his body suddenly became much heavier, as if he were about to die.
"Don't care?" Feng Xi turned to look at him.
"Can't care." Yang Mingli responded calmly. Eating the emperor's salary and bearing his worries, the Human Emperor's plans were too grand, and he didn't have the ability to handle it. At most, he could return a life to the court, guard Nan Zhou, and hold out for as long as possible.
"Is there still hope?" Feng Xi took a deep breath.
"There is."
Yang Mingli turned his head, revealing fatigue, "The Three Immortal Teachings won't just stand by and watch. Let them fight it out."
In the end, Shengchao's only hope was placed on outsiders, and these outsiders were neither friends nor foes.
This feeling of helplessness, of being unable to get involved, was a huge blow to a 3rd-grade powerhouse, needless to say.
He was truly exhausted.
...
From the Xumi Baoshan in the boundless land, a giant object slowly emerged, blocking out the sky.
It was about four zhang long and two thousand zhang wide, divided into three layers.
The bottom layer was a nine-colored lotus platform, the middle layer was a floating painting of seven seas and seven mountains, and the top layer was a treasure tower with a small box inside the spire, emitting a dazzling glow that attracted worldwide attention.
It was more like a small city than a lotus platform carriage.
Four majestic figures carried this object forward.
On the left were two white elephants with mountains and rivers under their feet, and on the right were two ferocious green lions.
On the elephants and lions sat four equally gigantic Luohan Jinshen. They stretched out their arms, forming a square and lifting the lotus platform carriage with sheer force.
These beasts were not demon mounts or even living creatures but the embodiment of their Great Doctrine Fruit positions.
In front of the carriage were also four figures.
A suanni and a benlang sat in front and behind, respectively.
Four Great Doctrine Luohan sat with their arms crossed, their calm gazes fixed forward.
As they moved forward, each step of their mounts covered a thousand zhang.
They steadily advanced towards the front.
They didn't stop until they crossed the mountains and rivers, reaching a desolate land. They stopped in unison, as if waiting for something.
Soon, a golden light descended from the sky.
It landed on the carriage with a loud rumble.
The visitor was like a towering mountain, with dragon and tiger heads swaying on his shoulders. Between his sturdy back, four arms slightly extended, each palm seemed to contain the power to create and divide the heavens.
He sat cross-legged beneath the treasure tower, between seven layers of mountains and seas.
His palms rested calmly on his knees.
Just sitting there, he exuded an aura that could swallow mountains and rivers, dispelling evil spirits.
The eight Great Doctrine Luohan looked on in unison, and after sensing that thick Jie Force, the doubt in their eyes vanished instantly.
With this Jinshen sitting there, what was there to fear? They could traverse the four continents and spread the Buddha's teachings from Bodhi Great Teachings throughout Shengchao!
"We pay our respects to the Jianglong Fuhu Damingwang!"
The white elephant and fierce lion knelt, and the suanni and benlang turned around. The eight Great Doctrine Luohan clasped their hands together without prior agreement and bowed towards the top of the tower.
"..."
The Mingwang remained silent, only gazing at the top of the tower.
As expected, he had guessed correctly. To reflect the world, a fake wouldn't do. With this Buddha light, there was undoubtedly a true scripture inside.
