This peak is one of the twelve peaks in the Five Mountains of the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Sect’.
Surrounded by green peaks and verdant mountains, towering hills and mountains on both sides, the mountains are covered with green trees, winding straight to the top of the peaks and reaching to the sky. It is the only place used by the sect to welcome guests and friends.
In the ‘Jingxuan Hall’ at the top of the peak, a noisy celebration of the True Lord Yuanshen had just come to an end.
At this moment, the radiant Master Hanshuang was sitting on the main seat, receiving compliments and admirations from many of his colleagues.
But if you look carefully, you can find that the more than 200 practitioners present are basically only at the Golden elixir realm, and only a few are Yuanshen True Monarchs, and among them are Hu Zhengyu and Shi Ping'an from the "Xiantian Yiqi Sect"
people.
These two people were in the same class as Zhang Ke, and were tied for the top eight true disciples that year.
Originally, the two of them didn't want to come, but Master Mingxiao gave the order, so they had no choice but to come to support Master Hanshuang.
However, although the two of them were sitting here, except for a few polite words at the beginning of the celebration, they remained silent throughout the whole process, just like two wooden clay statues.
Since the attack on the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ twenty years ago, the Southern Sect has withdrawn all its disciples and properties from the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Sect’.
Without the resources and treasures transported by the Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect, the Tiantai Shanfang City, which had been prosperous for hundreds of years, suddenly declined.
Various sects keenly noticed from this change that there was a rift between the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Sect’ and the branch ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’.
This was also expected by each sect.
That war twenty years ago caused too much harm to the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’.
If True Lord Qingmei hadn't achieved the Dao Lord realm and returned, the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect' would have been extremely likely to be destroyed that day.
As the main sect, the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Sect’ did not initiate assistance at such a critical moment of life and death, which was indeed beyond everyone’s expectations.
Although the "Xiantian Yiqi Sect" later secretly spread the news, it was the Dingzhou top-grade sect "Bajing Palace" who came forward to obstruct it, which made the "Xiantian Yiqi Sect" unable to rescue the branch.
However, this statement was not convincing to other sects. They speculated that the "Innate Yiqi Southern Sect" may have developed too fast and was too big to suppress the original sect, which made the original sect feel fearful and chose to stand aside.
After the 'Xiantian Yiqi South Sect' won a complete victory in this attack, all the sects secretly laughed at the 'Xiantian Yiqi Sect''s short-sightedness.
The ‘Xiantian Yiqi South Sect’ now has many Dao Lords. Although it is only a ninth-grade sect in name, everyone in the Azure World already regards it as a top-grade sect.
Sure enough, under the watchful eyes of all practitioners, the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’ evacuated all the disciples and properties deployed in its own sect after the war.
Regarding this point, the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Nanzong’ did not even publicly release an explanation.
In view of the current power of the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect’, many sects that were originally on good terms with the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Sect’ have gradually drawn a clear line with them.
This also led to the fact that at True Lord Frost Frost’s True Lord Celebration, almost no True Lord Yuanshen from each sect came to congratulate him. It was really too much trouble to save face, so he only sent some True Lord Jindan to present congratulatory gifts.
In addition, Master Hanshuang is old and does not have many close friends, which creates a somewhat embarrassing situation at this moment.
In a corner of the hall, Qiguan Xinyu was sitting beside the table, looking at Lord Hanshuang on the main seat with envious eyes.
‘After all, only those who have achieved the true king of Yuanshen will be looked down upon by others.
Alas~~, it’s a pity that I failed to discover the whereabouts of True Lord Qixia, otherwise I would be sitting there accepting congratulations from others.’
Qi Guan Xinyu was extremely jealous, and could not help but show a trace of it in her eyes.
But after True Lord Frost sensed something, she glanced over and quickly smiled to show her awe.
Lord Hanshuang looked at Qiguan Xinyu below, with a murderous intention in his heart.
He knew that some of the things he had done could not be hidden from Qi Guan Xinyu, a thoughtful junior, so for his own safety, he had no choice but to silence him.
While I was thinking about it, someone suddenly heard a startled 'huh' sound in my ear.
"Hey, what is that in the sky? Why does it seem to have a face?"
Upon hearing this, Lord Hanshuang slightly raised his head and looked upward.
‘Jingxuan Hall’ is an open-air hall. There is a transparent protective barrier placed over the hall, which can block the mountain wind and flying stones from entering, but does not affect the external view.
Normally, you can see the ever-changing scenery through the transparent barrier above the main hall, which is a unique feature of the "Jingxuan Palace".
But at this moment, True Lord Hanshuang deeply regretted his choice of ‘Jingxuan Palace’.
I saw the clouds in the sky two hundred feet above the peak quickly condensed, forming a hundred-foot-long human face. The outline of the face was as carved as a knife and an axe, and a nine-story golden pagoda appeared and disappeared between the eyebrows.
This is a face that has long been engraved in the heart and soul of True Lord Hanshuang.
Ruyi Taoist Zhang Ke!
The news of Zhang Ke's return to the Realm was only known to Master Hanshuang three days ago after he came out of seclusion after being promoted to the True Lord of Yuanshen. At the same time, there was also news that Zhang Ke became a Taoist Lord.
When he heard that Zhang Ke not only returned safely from the void but also became a Taoist, Lord Hanshuang felt endless fear in his heart.
He knew what he had done in the past, and he also knew how much damage these things had caused to Zhang Ke and even the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect'.
But after waiting anxiously for several days, Zhang Ke's revenge never came.
True Lord Hanshuang could not help but feel a sense of luck. Perhaps Zhang Ke had not found out what he had done in that incident twenty years ago.
But even so, when the sect proposed to hold the True Lord's Celebration in Hanshuang True Lord and send a letter to the 'Xiantian Yiqi Southern Sect', True Lord Hanshuang still rejected it.
At this moment, Lord Hanshuang's heart was filled with despair and fear. He wanted to ask for mercy, but he was not sure how much Zhang Ke knew. Once he spoke rashly, he would become passive.
Just when he hesitated, a pair of eyes shining with starlight looked down.
His indifferent and calm eyes are like gods looking down on all living beings from the nine heavens.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! True Lord Hanshuang looked at those eyes with fear and hesitation, but directly met Zhang Ke's eyes.
Thunder from the sky stirs fire from the earth!
'boom--!'
At this moment, Lord Hanshuang's mind went blank and he couldn't think of anything. Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
When he woke up from his brief trance, he saw a hundred-foot-long jade pillar suddenly appearing in the air and slowly pressing down in the direction of him.
But when he took a closer look, he realized that it was not a jade pillar, it was clearly a finger.
The fingers are like bamboo, with clear joints, and the warm jade-like fingertip fingerprints are as clear as tree rings.
True Lord Hanshuang knew that something was wrong and wanted to escape from the 'Jingxuan Palace' in a flash, but the energy in his body was as heavy as lead and silver, and he was unable to mobilize even a trace.
The space outside the body is like a cage, locking the body in place, unable to move at all.
At this moment, Lord Hanshuang could only watch helplessly as the jade pillar-like finger pressed towards him bit by bit.
When this substance-like finger approached the sky with a radius of 100 feet above the 'Xiantian Yiqi Sect', the Qi machine pulled it and immediately activated the 'Xiantian Yiqi Sect' mountain-protecting formation.
In an instant, hundreds of thousands of light curtains of various colors rose from all over the twelve peaks of the five mountains. The stacked arc-shaped light curtains were like a colorful translucent bowl, holding the 'Xiantian Yiqi Sect' underneath.
Feeling that the mountain guarding formation was activated, each of the True Lords of the Yuanshen was alerted and drove streams of light flying up from the peaks.
The fingers like jade pillars pressed down, seemingly slowly but actually quickly, and they were pressed against the heavy light screen of the mountain-protecting formation in an instant.
"..."
The moment his fingers pressed on the mountain-protecting formation, countless formation patterns fell apart where the fingertips pressed.
Like red hot coals melting into the snow.
Silently, a huge circular hole was opened without affecting the array in other areas.
Then this finger fell from the sky in an understated manner, pressing down from top to bottom on the head of the struggling True Lord Hanshuang.
For some reason, in the eyes of everyone present, the time at this moment seemed to be stretched infinitely.
They could clearly see True Lord Hanshuang's body bending, compressing, and twisting at a speed visible to the naked eye with the pressure of his fingers, and finally turned into a puddle of flesh.
Qi Guan Xinyu's hair stood up all over his body, a cold breath spread from his tailbone to his whole body, and he shivered involuntarily.
From the time when the clouds in the sky revealed Zhang Ke's face, to when he stretched out his finger to kill Lord Hanshuang, it only took two breaths.
At this time, the smiles on the faces of everyone in the hall have not yet dissipated, but they have stagnated amid the huge changes.
Hundreds of people watched in disbelief what was happening.
True Lord Hanshuang of the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Sect’ was actually easily killed by someone within his own mountain gate.
"Wow~~~~~~"
A faint ringing of bells and the sound of iron chains reached the ears of everyone present, deep in their hearts.
Qi Guan Xinyu's stiff neck turned in response to the sound, and he saw a black and white shadow about two feet high coming through the door of the palace.
At first, there was a phantom, covered in white robes, smiling, tall and thin, with a pale face, white eyes, a long tongue, and a tall hat with a pointed head, and four characters written on the hat with ghost symbols:
【Making money at first sight】
On his waist was a mourning stick made of willow wood with a human skull and leg bones nailed to white cloth.
There is a copper bell on the top of the mourning stick, and the sound heard by everyone comes from this bell.
The other man was wearing a black robe, with a wide body and a fat body. He was small and dark-skinned, with a cold and stern expression. His eyes were as black as ink. On his official hat, there were four words written on it: "The world is peaceful".
In his hand he held the same mourning stick, but it was wrapped in black cloth.
In addition, the two phantoms had shackles and handcuffs hanging on their waists, and the other hand held a "soul lock" with a curved hook and claws.
"Black and white are impermanent!!!"
Someone in the hall screamed, but he immediately covered his mouth, and his face instantly turned pale.
These two are legendary beings, and ninety-nine percent of practitioners in the world will never have the chance to see their true appearance while they are still alive.
Hundreds of people held their breath and did not dare to move.
Hu Zhengyu and Shi Ping'an looked at each other, and they both saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.
When they saw Zhang Ke's face manifested in the clouds above, the two of them wanted to get up to greet him, but unexpectedly they found that they were sealed in a stone statue, unable to move either mentally or physically.
The black and white impermanence that suddenly appeared at this time must be related to Zhang Ke, and his target must be True Lord Frost.
It's normal for the two of them to guess this.
There is no airtight wall in the world, and with True Lord Hanshuang's ability there is no possibility of advancing to the rank of Yuan Shen.
Following the clues revealed by him and deducing, the 'Xiantian Yiqi Sect' easily found out that he had tried every means to find out about Ding Xiaoxiao.
Combined with what the "Hehuan Sect", "Rogue Cultivator Alliance" and others have done, as well as the sudden shattering of the sect's soul lamp, the "Xiantian Yiqi Sect" is extremely convinced that Master Hanshuang betrayed Ding Xiaoxiao's traces.
But decades ago, Master Hanshuang immediately closed his door to death after delivering the message and receiving the treasure as reward.
When he left the sect and decided to investigate his crimes, he suddenly discovered that he had advanced to the realm of Yuanshen.
This moment immediately blinded the senior officials of the ‘Xiantian Yiqi Sect’.
Chongxiao, Feilei and other True Lords believed that True Lord Hanshuang's action violated the sect's seven-kill commandment and must be killed as a warning to others.
However, True Lord Furong and a few others felt that since the matter had already happened, if they killed True Lord Hanshuang at this time, the sect would not have lost a True Lord of Yuanshen in vain.
Headmaster Mingxiao was already devastated by the death of those True Lords of the Soul who were exploring the secret realm with Ding Xiaoxiao from his sect, and he was unwilling to let go of the loss of another True Lord of the Soul in his sect.
Under his mediation and interference, True Lord Frost was finally exposed with ease.
Moreover, Headmaster Mingxiao also issued a hush-hush order, and no one in the sect was allowed to talk about True Lord Hanshuang.
In fact, in addition to not being willing to let the sect lose a True Lord of Yuanshen, Headmaster Mingxiao was also worried that once he punished True Lord Hanshuang, Zhang Ke might find out the clues.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! With Zhang Ke’s stubborn and crazy temper, the sect is afraid that he will receive a thunderous blow from him.
But what happened at this moment undoubtedly showed that Zhang Ke had already known the causes and consequences of this matter.
Otherwise, he would never have acted so violently, actually directly destroying the mountain-protecting formation of the 'Xiantian Yiqi Sect', and killing True Lord Hanshuang on the spot in full view of everyone.
Such behavior is undoubtedly the most merciless trampling on the dignity of a sect.
At the same time, the hearts of Hu Zhengyu and Hu Zhengyu also sank to the bottom. Zhang Ke's behavior showed that he no longer had any nostalgia or affection for the "Xiantian Yiqi Sect".
In the gap between the two people's extremely complicated thoughts, an illusory figure with the same face as Lord Hanshuang floated up from the puddle of flesh and mud.
Bai Wuchang shook his hand, and the 'Soul Hook' came out of his hand, and with an iron chain, it penetrated into the soul of True Lord Hanshuang and locked it.
"Ah~~"
A miserable howl shook the souls of everyone present, and the soul of Lord Frost was brought to the front as Bai Wuchang pulled the chain.
At this time, True Lord Frost's heart was completely filled with fear.
He didn't understand why he couldn't replace his life with the 'Three Flowers' on his head, and even his soul body was extracted.
Taking a closer look, I saw that the pointed hat on Bai Wuchang's head suddenly reversed, and the four characters "make money at first sight" suddenly changed to the four characters "you are here too".
His eyes turned slightly, and the words "The World is Peaceful" on the long hat of Hei Wuchang beside Bai Wuchang also changed into "Catching You".
Looking at the smiling Bai Wuchang and the cold and solemn expression of Hei Wuchang, Lord Hanshuang's mood was completely lost.
His soul vibrated violently, and regardless of the tearing pain in his soul, he shouted at Hu Zhengyu:
"help me!"
His voice failed to utter a single ounce, but from his fearful eyes and mouth movements, everyone present guessed what he was talking about.
“Good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds, and evil deeds will be rewarded with evil deeds. It’s not that we won’t be rewarded, the time has not yet come!
Qi Guan Zhongshan, your life span has expired, please follow us and leave as soon as possible.
Jie Jie~~, there are many hells waiting for you in the underworld!"
"Dingling bell~~wow~~"
Black and White Wu Chang pulled the chain and pulled True Lord Frost's soul floating towards the outside of the palace, disappearing and appearing.
Only Bai Wuchang's faint laughter and words echoed leisurely in the hall.
Watching Hei Bai Wuchang leave from the palace door, Qi Guan Xinyu breathed a long sigh of relief.
He stretched out his trembling hands and wiped the large beads of sweat on his head. Just as he swallowed in shock, he heard the familiar sound of chains suddenly ringing in his ears.
"Jie Jie~~, I almost let this fish slip through the net!"
As Bai Wuchang's sharp voice sounded again, a gray chain with a hint of black energy penetrated through the wall from outside the hall.
"Wow~~"
The 'soul-grabbing lock' penetrated Qi Guan Xinyu's body like lightning, and then an illusory soul body was pulled out of Qi Guan Xinyu's body by the 'soul-grabbing lock'.
"Wow~~"
The chain dragged Qi Guan Xinyu's soul body out of the palace, accompanied by a faint and sharp laughter until it became silent.
At the same time, Qi Guan Xinyu's body collapsed as if it had no bones, without any trace of life.
"Buzz~~~"
A pillar of vitality soared into the sky from inside the main hall.
Dozens of streams of light appeared in the hall, and the voice of Master Mingxiao, filled with shock and anger, was heard.
