Time passed and half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
The nameless island sank overnight, the Zhang family disappeared overnight, and the battle scene between Zhong Shan and Fang Tiezhu was not earth-shattering, but it was shocking enough.
News of Zhenxing Island quickly spread across the sea.
The fog on the island is so thick that even the Jindan monks can't see through it, giving Zhenxing Island a mysterious color.
Gradually, the name Zhenxing Island became less popular than the nickname Mist Island.
The Nascent Soul monks who came to investigate with various purposes also discovered the old man guarding the island.
The first expulsion, the second suppression, without exception.
From then on, no one dared to approach Zhenxing Island at will.
On the other side, the Star Sect sent elite disciples to the island to worship, making the name of the Star Sect branch more and more worthy of its name.
Knowing that Wang Song was guarding Zhenxing Island and had no intention of expanding the Star Sect, all the major sects that had been waiting for Wang Song's move secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the Great Sun God is now missing, and the Sun Sect has only one Supreme Cangfeng left, so it is barely enough to maintain the reputation of the Sun Sect's top sect.
The two Taishangs of the Moon Sect favored the Star Sect that day, but they did not want the already powerful Sun God to obtain the Star Bead and become even more invincible in the world.
Therefore, when Wang Song defeated the Great Sun God, they were not as happy as they imagined. Instead, they quietly approached the Ri Zong afterwards.
For them, the most ideal situation is for the three sects to work together to check and balance each other.
Not to mention other medium-sized sects and small sects that are either dependent or independent. Being able to maintain the status quo is the best situation for them.
No matter which major sect fights, the unlucky ones will definitely be their vassals.
When the wind and clouds rise, the fate of small fish and shrimps can only be prayed secretly not to be hit by the wind and waves. They cannot help themselves.
But as time went by, the situation that should have calmed down not only failed to calm down, but began to surge with an unusual undercurrent.
All this happened just because of a piece of news that came from an unknown source.
The reason why Supreme Prince Wang Song of Xingzong wanted to guard Zhenxing Island was because there was a space passage leading to the upper world on the unknown island that was discovered by the Zhang family in the sea.
After hearing the news, Prince Wang Song did not hesitate to personally take action to sink the unknown island and completely silence the Zhang family in order to conceal all this.
In the end, Zhenxing Island was built with great magic power.
Now Zhenxing Island has become the private property of Xing Sect, and the space passage is occupied by Xing Sect.
The purpose of everything Wang Song did was to make Xing Sect a sect force in contact with the upper world, and to use this to send his disciples to the upper world to practice.
Wait until ten years or a hundred years later.
When the disciples of the Star Sect return from the upper world, they will completely widen the gap with the other sects in the Star Observation World.
By then, even without the help of His Majesty Wang Song, the entire stargazing world would fall under the rule of the Star Sect.
There are even rumors that Grand Supreme Wang Song has reached an agreement with the forces in the upper realm, and the forces in the upper realm have begun to dispatch manpower and will directly enter the Star Observation Realm in the near future.
At that time, everyone except the Star Sect will become slaves of the forces in the upper world.
The Star Sect betrayed the entire stargazing world!
For a time, rumors spread everywhere, and with the fermentation of time and the promotion of caring people, they rushed to all directions like a surge.
Someone began to contact the inner demon who had previously claimed to be a messenger from the upper realm.
Naturally, most of them cannot be contacted.
However, there are also a small number of monks who, because of personal relationships, such as those who gave gifts to the inner demons back then, finally obtained some vague information after painstaking efforts.
In the inner demon's explanation, they have already found cooperating forces. In order to avoid misunderstandings by cooperating forces, he will no longer appear in the name of a messenger from the upper world.
Finally, after a certain monk did not hesitate to bribe him with the ten thousand-year elixir to suppress the sect, the inner demon reluctantly revealed a piece of news - to actively move closer to the Star Sect.
Although it is said in a roundabout way, this vague attitude explains everything.
At the same time, interested people discovered that the true disciples of Xing Sect suddenly announced to retreat one after another.
Most of the elite monks walking outside the Xing Sect suddenly disappeared.
Xing Zong operated one after another, as if he didn't say anything, and at the same time he seemed to say everything.
In the end, even some casual cultivators who were only in the Qi Refining realm heard the news about Xingzong betraying the Star Observation World.
Although they can't do anything, it doesn't stop them from saying bad things.
Of course, some conscientious people discovered that there seemed to be a mastermind behind these news adding fuel to the fire.
But in the face of the almost confirmed passage to the upper realm, no monk can remain calm.
Even the little casual cultivators who can only have a bad mouth feel that Xingzong has robbed them of their advancement and will trample them forever.
After entering the upper realm, then everyone is a minor cultivator in the lower realm, which means they have the same starting point, and they have the opportunity to catch up from behind.
…
Xingzong Mountain Gate.
Facing the many fellow cultivators who came to question them in an aggressive manner, the leader of the Xing Sect, Zhai Xingzi, looked dull, like a puppet.
Regarding the recent rumors in the world of cultivation, he had naturally heard of them and was furious about them, thinking that someone was targeting their Xing Sect.
However, he sent people to investigate and secretly investigate, and they could only find out that this rumor appeared half a year ago.
As for who originally spread the rumor, there are so many versions of the rumor that it is impossible to find out.
Even if their sect's best divination monks take action, they won't be able to find any clues.
Zhaixingzi didn't even hide the news that might cause a major stain on his sect leader's career, and immediately reported it to the sect leader Zhong Shan.
In the end, Supreme Prince Zhong Shan just waved his hand and said he understood, saying that as long as he was here, everything would not be chaotic.
Zhaixingzi felt relieved when he saw that Supreme Prince Zhongshan did not blame him, so he arranged for people to continue investigating. No matter what, if the Xingzong was targeted, someone had to take the blame.
As for himself, he didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, unfounded rumors will naturally dissipate over time.
If the Star Sect really betrayed the Star Observation World and reached a private agreement with the forces in the upper world, wouldn't he, the leader of the Star Sect and the third most powerful person in the Star Sect, know about it?
But Zhaixingzi never expected that things would get worse.
Looking at the representatives of various sects in the hall, he had an inexplicable feeling of being forced into the palace.
Taken individually, these sect representatives are not worthy of carrying shoes for Xing Sect. Even if they are united, they are just clowns and not worth mentioning.
Whether or not there is a God-incarnation Lord sitting in the sect is a completely different concept.
But Zhaixingzi knew that since these people dared to show up, they naturally had the confidence.
Where does the confidence come from? Naturally, it comes from the Sun and Moon Sect, which was once tied with the Star Sect.
Although Grand Supreme Wang Song defeated the Great Sun God, which inspired people's hearts, and has vaguely elevated the Star Sect to the number one position in this world.
But in the face of the two Sun and Moon Sects joining forces, Zhaixingzi himself was not sure.
If a suitable explanation is not given today, the monks from the Sun and Moon Sect may be the ones to come next time.
But how does he explain it?
It was the old man's own idea that Grand Prince Wang Song would take charge of the Star Island in the sea. Even Grand Prince Zhong Shan told him not to ask any more questions.
Xingzong did send some disciples, but they were all for the purpose of serving Grand Supreme Wang Song. Why did it come out that they secretly sent disciples to the realm to practice?
This can be explained a little bit.
But Zhaixingzi understood that if these representatives could not go to the island to check it out for themselves, they might not be able to dispel their doubts.
However, Mrs. Wang Song had already given instructions. Except for the disciples who had been sent to the island, no disciples would be allowed to go there in the future unless ordered by the old man.
Even his sect leader is no exception.
In this case, what would he do to send them to the island?
As for the elite disciples who disappeared within the sect, it was because Supreme Master Wang Song was approaching his end of life, and Supreme Master Zhongshan followed the advice of Supreme Commander Wang Song and prepared to cultivate the seeds of the Tao of Transformation for the sect so that the legacy could be passed down from generation to generation.
Regarding the inheritance of the sect, the selection of the Taoist cultivator has always been one of the core secrets of the sect, and even he, the sect leader, cannot interfere with it.
If he hadn't been one of the candidates for becoming a god, he wouldn't even know about these circumstances.
How could he explain it clearly to these sect representatives?
So at this moment, he could only listen to the questioning from many sect representatives with a dull expression, and then he shook his head and nodded.
When it came time to ask him for a specific explanation, he could only talk about it.
"Star Picking!"
Finally, someone couldn't stand Zhaixingzi's evasive attitude and stood up suddenly.
"Since you can't explain it clearly, let someone who can explain it clearly come forward. Otherwise, we can only think that the words spread outside are true!"
Seeing that someone dared to slap the table with him, Zhaixingzi became very angry.
If it weren't for the overall situation, he would have thrown all these rotten fishes down the mountain long ago.
"Liu Yong! Do you think this is still the time when your ancestor is still alive?"
Zhaixingzi recognized the person who stood up as Liu Yong, and he was the elder brother of the head of the Liu family, a large cultivation family.
The ancestor of the Liu family broke through to the realm of divine transformation thousands of years ago and established the Liu family inheritance, making the Liu family the top family in the cultivation family.
Although the Liu family has not had a second god-incarnation venerable since the ancestor of the Liu family, the great monks in the Nascent Soul realm are not bad, with three to five in each generation.
It is probably equivalent to one of the weaker peaks among the eighteen peaks of Xingzong, but it has always been very arrogant because it was the ancestor of the Transformation God.
Zhaixingzi snorted coldly: "If you think the rumors outside are true, then come up with evidence. You dare to slander our Xingzong without evidence!
This sect master sees that you are impatient, do you really think that the Xingyun Peak of our Xing Sect is a vegetarian?"
Starfall Peak is equivalent to the Star Sect's external law enforcement team. Any forces that disobey Star Sect will be killed by the Starfall Peak monks, and they have always been notorious outside.
Upon hearing that Star Picker had even moved out of Starfall Peak, several sect representatives who originally wanted to stand up with Liu Yong suddenly froze.
Liu Yong also trembled with brows, but with the glory of the Liu family and his new trump card, he was unwilling to weaken his voice at this moment, but his attitude softened unconsciously.
"Master Zhai Xingzi, that's it for now. Regardless of whether there are rumors or not, you should know that both we and the people behind us must find out the truth of these things."
Zhaixingzi doesn't know this truth, but can he give this truth?
How can I give it to you!
If so, he, the sect leader, can seal himself into the Sin Abyss of the Star Sect and become a shame among all previous sect leaders of the Star Sect.
If he doesn't give it, he, the sect leader, may have to lead a war that has never been experienced by previous sect leaders.
This is almost equivalent to a deadlock.
"If you want the truth, then ask the people behind you to come and talk to me personally!"
Zhong Shan walked into the main hall of the main peak domineeringly. It was obvious that everyone was standing at the same height, but when his eyes dropped, the others unconsciously dwarfed. They even slowed down their breathing and did not dare to make too much noise.
"Zhong...His Majesty Zhongshan."
Someone stammered to greet Zhongshan.
Zhong Shan walked to the star-picking position and sat down, and everyone else stood up and stood in a neat manner, like juniors listening to the teachings of their elders.
In terms of age, it is correct to say that Zhong Shan is the ancestor of everyone present.
Zhongshan cut through the mess with a sharp sword and said:
"The rumors spread by the outside world, I will definitely find out the person behind the scenes.
However, I guarantee with my reputation that these rumors are fueled by people with ulterior motives. Do you really want to become the accomplice of the people behind the scenes and become the enemy of our Xing Sect?
Go back and make it clear to the people behind you. If you have any questions, just come to me directly. There is no need to go to such trouble.
Now, get out!"
Zhong Shan waved his sleeves, and before the others had time to greet him, they were blown out by a sudden strong wind in the hall.
Seeing His Majesty Zhong Shan arrive at the scene, Zhai Xingzi immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Your Majesty Zhongshan, is this a bit harsh? Those people will definitely add insult to injury and report it to the people behind it when they go back."
Zhong Shan sneered: "If they really dared, they wouldn't send these people here.
Now that Mr. Wang is here in our Xing Sect, we are not afraid at all even if the Great Sun God of the past comes to the scene in person.
The person who planned this behind the scenes is very ambitious. I will personally tell Mr. Wang about this later.
You should guard the mountain gate with peace of mind. If something goes wrong, you must not let anyone enter the mountain gate without seeing me and Mr. Wang.
Anyone who violates this rule will not be treated lightly!"
Zhaixingzi immediately nodded in agreement.
Zhong Shan sent away all the representatives of the sect forces and immediately flew to Zhenxing Island.
After he left, a terrifying aura rose up outside the Xingzong Mountain Gate, instantly covering the entire Xingzong.
Zhaixingzi watched the sect-protecting formation rise up automatically in response to the attack, as well as the familiar and terrifying figures outside the formation, and his eyes couldn't help but burst with tears.
"His Majesty Zhongshan! Come back quickly, it's a trap!"
Zhaixingzi took out the jade talisman that communicated with Emperor Zhongshan for thousands of miles and screamed.
But there was no response from the other end.
"They actually blocked the space and cut off all contact between us and the outside world."
Zhaixingzi gritted his teeth and made a decisive decision.
"Then let me be the sinner of the Star Sect."
He walked towards the Starfall Bell, one of the symbols of the Star Sect, and rang it suddenly.
DONG DONG DONG!!!
A crisp and powerful voice sounded quickly.
One ring, two rings, three rings...
The leader of the Seven-Hang Sect ascends the throne, the Supreme Leader of the Eight-Hang Sect rises and falls, and the Sect of the Nine-Hang Sect survives and dies.
But since the founding of the Xing Sect, the Xing Luo Bell has never rung nine times.
Because after nine rings, the Xingluo Bell will self-destruct, and then all those who practice the Xingzong technique will feel it no matter where they are.
Then they will drop everything and return.
This is the fastest way that Zhaixingzi can think of to notify the two princes.
