In the spacious hall of the Breath Palace, almost all the prominent figures were present. Except for the first of the six halls, Ruiqi Hall, all the others were present. However, no one held him responsible for his absence, because everyone knew that he was responsible for guarding the Sumeru Pagoda.
Went.
A monk's questioning voice rang out in the hall, and the speaker was Xu Zimu, the leader of Jingqi Hall, "It is said that the difficulty of this God's Blessing Ceremony will be increased. I am really worried that some of these junior monks will be good and bad after entering Xumi Pagoda.
They are responsible for the future destiny of the Breath Palace."
Ren Fei, the leader of the Zhengqi Hall, said: "Zi Mu's worry is not unreasonable, but what problems can there be with the chief guard of the dignified Ruiqi Hall? Or do you simply not believe in Brother Changping's methods?"
Ran Yu, the leader of Gangqi Hall, said: "Senior Brother Ren is right. With Senior Brother Changping guarding him, there will be no problem at all. If anyone is in danger, he will teleport that person outside the tower. After all, that is the Sumeru Pagoda.
He knows it best."
Xu Zimu said disapprovingly: "If you didn't insist on setting up puppets in Xumi Pagoda that even give me a headache when I see them, I would be so worried. This God's Blessing Ceremony is getting more and more different."
Xuan Wuji raised his big eyelids, stared at Xu Zimu and said, "Zimu, tell me what the God Blessing Ceremony has become."
Xu Zimu didn't want Xuan Wuji to speak, so his tone immediately softened. He said calmly: "The God's Blessing Ceremony was originally supposed to be about thanking the Ancient God of Rock and Fire for his kindness, and the selection of young monks was the second priority. In my opinion, this ceremony can be done without such tension. Everyone can join in the ceremony.
In one place, preaching on scriptures, increasing knowledge, improving cultivation, and being harmonious are better than anything else."
Xuan Wuji said coldly: "Nothing can be made without polishing it. What we want is a leader who can shoulder the great responsibilities of the Breath Palace. If a mere puppet knocks them down, it will be really sad for the Breath Palace."
Xu Zimu did not dare to argue with Xuan Wuji and could only remain silent.
Zuo Wuwei agreed: "On this point, Brother Wuji and I have the same view. The young monks selected at the God's Blessing Ceremony are outstanding ones who must shoulder the heavy responsibility of supporting the future of the Breath Palace. We old bones can't always guard the Breath Palace.
.There is always a need to pass this legacy on.”
He spoke in a kinder tone and was quite prestigious in the Qi Palace, so everyone nodded in approval.
At this moment, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps at the door. A monk ran into the door, clasped his fists in his hands, and reported: "Reporting to all the leaders and heads, we were ambushed by unknown people near the Xumi Pagoda, and we lost a lot of money.
Eight golden elixir monks."
"Oh?" Xuan Wuji was stunned when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "Isn't the Xumi Pagoda guarded by the head of Ruiqi Hall? How could there be an ambush by unknown monks?"
Xu Zimu, the leader of Jingqi Hall, recognized that the person who reported the news was his disciple. He hurriedly said: "Zhang Lan, you haven't fully reported what happened to all the Yuan Lords."
The Jindan monk described everything that happened under the Xumi Pagoda in detail. At the end, he stammered: "One of the men in white, known as the leader of Ruiqi Hall, Zhao, Zhao, has been killed by them.
"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was in an uproar.
Chu Shang stood up and asked sharply: "Where are the two men in white at this moment?"
"We joined forces to kill the man in white, and his body is already outside the door." Zhang Lan whispered.
"What!"
Many people in the hall were in an uproar again. The person who killed Zhao Changping was actually beaten to death by a group of junior monks. This somewhat allowed the head of the Breath Palace and the Yuan Masters to regain some face.
Chu Shang's expression softened a bit, but Zhao Changping's death still shocked him. He knew very well that with Zhao Changping's cultivation and Taoism, there were not many people in Ziluo who could kill him.
"According to Senior Brother Hou's analysis, those two people seem to be star officials of the Star Palace." Zhang Lan continued.
This sentence once again caused boos in the hall. Xu Zimu said angrily: "Can't you finish it all at once? How come you are so young that you have to breathe heavily when you talk."
"Take us to see those two corpses." Xuan Wuji stood up and said sternly.
When everyone gathered in the square in front of the hall, the two corpses made everyone have frost on their faces.
"They are Jing Mu'an and Doumu Xie. I once met these two star officials in the Star Palace. Things have become complicated." Xuan Wuji said coldly.
"So what about the Star Palace? Are we afraid of them? They were rude in this matter. If we don't go to them, we are being tolerant of them." Huanye sneered.
"The Star Palace is also the leading sect in Cathay after all. Apart from Shura Sect and Taixu Palace, there is probably no sect in the world that dares to take it lightly." Huangfu Song, the leader of the Breath Palace, said cautiously.
"I think there was a saying in Cathay back then. The so-called three palaces, two gates and one temple were the six most powerful organizations in Cathay. The three palaces were the Star Palace, Taixu Palace and the Breath Palace. The two gates were Tianxuan who had disappeared long ago.
Gate and the now popular Shura Gate. One temple is the mysterious Chongfa Temple. Today, the Star Palace is still prosperous, and the Taixu Palace holds the banner of Xuanmen orthodoxy. It seems that only our Breath Palace is gradually declining. However, even if it declines, it will not tolerate others.
You can kill the monks of our sect at will, and you have no objection to this." Zuo Wuwei said silently.
Among the four Yuan Masters, Xuan Wuji is the oldest in terms of age, but Zuo Wuwu is the most prestigious in terms of prestige. When he said this, everyone's emotions stabilized.
Huan Ye said: "What Brother Zuo said is absolutely true. Even if we are weak, we will not allow others to bully the Taoist sect. We should send people to return these two corpses to the Star Palace, state our interests and ask them for an explanation."
"I'm afraid those scoundrels from Xing Palace are still planning to ask us for an explanation!" Xuan Wuji said coldly.
"If they are really so shameless, then fight them." Although Huan Ye is a woman, she has an extremely hot temper.
"Fight? What to fight with? There are twenty-eight star officials in the Star Palace, each with the cultivation level of Nascent Soul or Transformation God. In addition, the Star Palace also has two extremely mysterious Da Si Tian. Star Palace
His disciples are spread across six continents, and there are also secret masters among them. If we really want to compete, I'm afraid we will lose both my wife and our troops." Xuan Wuji said calmly.
Huanye still wanted to argue, but Xu Zimu stammered: "Masters, please stop arguing. I am worried about the disciples who entered the Xumi Pagoda. If there is no leader of the Ruiqi Hall monitoring the tower, they will be in danger.
what to do?"
A word awakened the dreamer. Everyone was in chaos. The four Yuan Lords who had been arguing just now each flew to the Xumi Pagoda in their escape lights. The heads of each hall also led their men to the Xumi Pagoda.
The journey of two hundred miles was approaching in an instant for them. When Huangfu Song led the leaders to Xumi Pagoda, what was waiting for them was the miserable expressions of the four Yuan Masters.
"Why is this Xumi Pagoda locked?" Chu Shang asked Huangfu Song in shock.
Huangfu Song looked at Yu Fei, the leader of the weapon refining hall, and asked: "How come there are restrictions on Xumi Pagoda?"
Yu Fei's face was full of despair and he said: "Is the Xumi Pagoda sealed?"
"What's the meaning?"
"According to the explanation given by the leader of the last Weapon Refining Hall, the Xumi Pagoda will be sealed when encountering a powerful enemy. It cannot be forcibly broken in from the outside and can only be opened from the inside. It is reported that this is the ancestor of Hongming, the founder of the Breath Palace Sect.
A ban placed by one's own hands. At that time, the Breath Palace was still weak, so in order to prevent other sects from invading, such a ban was set up. It was said to be extremely complicated, but also indestructible. However, the founders worked hard to control it, and this ban was never used. Over time, it was
Forgot." Yu Fei said.
"When you set up a puppet in the Xumi Pagoda, can you activate this restriction?" Huanye asked.
Yu Fei shook his head and said: "I can guarantee this, absolutely not. After so many years, even if I want to open it, I can't find a way."
"Could it be opened by one of the seven people who entered?" Chu Shang's mind was spinning the fastest.
"This possibility is very small. None of the people who went in seemed to know anything about the forbidden formation." Yu Fei said.
"There is only one explanation. There are others in this tower." Chu Shang's voice became colder and colder, making everyone shiver.
"The four of us forcibly broke the restrictions of this tower. Although it was left by the ancestor, for the sake of the outstanding talents of the next generation of the Breath Palace, breaking the rules is a helpless act." Zuo Wuwei said.
Yu Fei hurriedly shook his head and said: "The four Yuan Masters must not be reckless. I do not doubt your strength. But if the restrictions of this Sumeru Pagoda are destroyed, then the entire tower will be destroyed. The founder had his reasons for designing this way.
The intention is that instead of falling into the hands of the enemy and being humiliated after the tower is destroyed, it is better to fall with the tower."
"Then what should we do?" Xuan Wuji asked.
Yu Fei looked at the towering Xumi Pagoda and murmured: "Maybe we can only place our hope on a few people who enter the tower. After all, they are all outstanding."
…
The light on the second floor was still dim, and it was still a long and narrow corridor. Chen Yunsheng looked at the closed rooms around him and wondered: "What do you think are stored in these rooms?"
Yu Dayou curled his lips and said, "Didn't you say that this place is usually used for sacrifices? All I store here are the bones of animals."
"How about we open a door and see what's going on." Chen Yunsheng said.
Yu Dayou frowned and murmured: "I don't think so. Our goal is to win, to win first place for Master Huanye Yuan and gain face."
Chen Yunsheng didn't know why his curiosity was so strong. He opened a door with one palm. There was air flowing gently inside the dark door, like the big mouth of a wild beast.
"Just look at one."
Yu Dayou had no choice but nodded and followed Chen Yunsheng. Chen Yunsheng took out Jiaolong's inner elixir, and the dark room suddenly became as bright as day. This room was a place where classics were stored. However, the classics had been moved.
