Today is the fifth day of the Human Alliance, and this day is the beginning of the true integration of all forces.
The first four days of the alliance were divided into batches, from Zhenwu Square to Wanxiantai, and they were divided into two classes: immortals and mortals.
After four days of deliberations, representatives from all parties in the cultivation world and mortals have reached a preliminary consensus. Although the two sides still have differences in some aspects, the general direction and tone have been set. In the next ten days or so, those differences will be focused on
Carry out negotiations.
The essence of negotiation is mutual compromise and mutual concession.
All races in the human world unite to fight against the invading enemies of the heavens. This is an unchanging trend.
As long as the threat of catastrophe exists, there will be no differences among all races in the world that cannot be resolved through negotiation.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the watch is burned to offer sacrifices to the sky, to pay tribute to the ancestors of all races. There are also grand sacrificial activities on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
It is mainly to commemorate the souls of human heroes who died in the war.
Sacrifice to the dead souls of warriors naturally requires the blood of the enemy.
Today we will kill people, and we will use the heads of enemies in heaven to pile them up in the capital to comfort the heroes who died in battle. At the same time, we will make alliances with the blood of enemies from all races in the world, sign a blood contract, and swear to defend the world to the death, and will never beg for surrender.
A ritual and music team composed of hundreds of people performed desolate ancient music on the top of Samsara Peak early in the morning. Everyone's face was filled with excited smiles.
It is rare to see an alliance in the human world for thousands of years. What an honor it is for them to see all the races in the world gather together in their lifetime.
However, few people can see how many undercurrents are flowing behind this grand alliance, and how many murderous intentions are filled in the darkness.
Cangyun Gate, Samsara Peak, and the secret passage in the cave.
The outside of Samsara Peak looks like a giant peak that towers into the sky, but under the thick rocks is another huge underground cave world.
Samsara Peak is very ancient. As early as hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Shushan Sect established its sect here. The inheritance of the Shushan Sect was intermittent, but every inheritance and development was centered on Samsara Peak.
During the Age of the Wood God, the ancient Shushan Sect began to excavate secret caves. During the Age of the Evil God, the ancestors of the Shushan Sect continued to excavate. It can be said that there is a huge dark world under the entire Samsara Peak.
The underground world of Samsara Peak is very complex. Some passages are single, like the secret room in the Discipline Academy and the tomb where Zuo Qiu was put under house arrest last time. The distance it extends downward is not long, and most of them are connected by one passage.
Several stone rooms.
But many channels are very complex and lengthy.
For example, the passage under the sacred table of the ancestor's ancestral hall on the back mountain of Samsara Peak and the passage in Yujizi's study room are very large.
For eight hundred years, Bai Ze, the guardian spirit of Cangyun Sect, has been resting in the cave. Until now, no Cangyun disciple has discovered its existence. This shows how complicated the secret passage on Samsara Peak is.
The heavenly prisoners who were escorted back from Yunmengze a few days ago, as well as the remnants of the Thousand Faces Sect, were all secretly imprisoned in the huge world below Samsara Peak.
In fact, there are not many prisoners. Most of the prisoners in the heaven are from the Taixu tribe among the six tribes of heaven and humans. Thousands of prisoners from the Taixu tribe are now in the hands of the five tribes in southern Xinjiang. They were sent to the Central Plains and handed over to Cangyun Sect.
There are only about a hundred or so experts headed by Si Zhiqi and others.
In addition to the prisoners of the Taixu tribe, they counterattacked the Heaven Realm last year and also captured a group of Heaven Realm monks. The number was even smaller, only a few dozen.
As for the Battle of Qixing Mountain, few prisoners were taken.
Three to four hundred heavenly prisoners and dozens of remnants of the Thousand Faces Sect were imprisoned in different stone rooms. Sacrifice and public trials were about to be held, and these people could finally be put to use.
Gu Jianchi and Sun Yao led many disciples and elders from Samsara Peak, holding torches and walking in the dark passage. The passage was very long, and stone gates could be seen from time to time on both sides.
Every time they arrived at a stone gate, four Cangyun disciples would stay behind, push open the stone gate, and push out the former high-ranking heavenly soldiers and generals inside like rubbish.
After a while, there were fewer Cangyun disciples behind Gu Jianchi.
Walking onto a forked passage, Gu Jianchi said to Sun Yao: "Junior brother Sun, you take some people to escort those prisoners from the heaven. I will take people from the Thousand Faces Sect here to escort them. The time is almost up, so don't delay."
Sun Yao nodded and said: "Yes, I understand."
On the fork in the road, the two of them continued to move forward with dozens of disciples.
After about half a stick of incense, Gu Jianchi came to a stone door at the deepest part of the passage. He gave instructions to the Cangyun disciple behind him, pushed open the stone door and walked in alone, and then closed the stone door.
The stone room is not big, and the furnishings are simple. There is a stone bed, a stone table, two stone benches, an oil lamp, and a clean bucket, but nothing else.
Qin Mingyue was sitting on the stone bed in a daze. Compared with before, she seemed much older and very depressed recently.
However, after seeing Gu Jianchi coming in, she cheered up with a playful expression in her eyes.
She said calmly: "Counting the days, it should be the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Is my day here?"
Gu Jianchi smiled and said: "Uncle Qin has a good memory."
Qin Mingyue sneered: "Uncle?
Haha, you called the wrong person."
Gu Jianchi said seriously: "No matter what, you have once been a disciple of Cangyun Sect, so it is appropriate to call you uncle."
Qin Mingyue snorted coldly and said nothing. She stood up, straightened her clothes, and combed the messy hair on her forehead with her fingers. She felt that she was a noble person, and she had to die decently even if she died.
Gu Jianchi looked on from the side and said: "Uncle Qin, don't worry, Jianchi has a few words to say to you."
Qin Mingyue said: "Why, Yujizi, I still haven't given up yet?
Do you still want to ask me about Liujin Yanfen’s grave?”
Gu Jianchi shook his head and said: "I know better than you who Liu Jin Yanfen is, and I have no interest in him."
Qin Mingyue frowned.
Gu Jianchi chuckled and said: "Time is urgent, let me tell you straight, Uncle Qin, do you hate Ye Xiaochuan?"
When Qin Mingyue heard the words Ye Xiaochuan, she immediately gritted her teeth.
However, she is a cunning person, so she naturally knows about the grudge between Gu Jianchi and Ye Xiaochuan. At this moment, when Gu Jianchi mentions Ye Xiaochuan, there must be some conspiracy.
She calmed down her inner hatred for Ye Xiaochuan and said: "What I hate is Cangyunmen and Yu Jizi, a young boy who is still young. Why do I hate him?"
Gu Jianchi said: "If you didn't hate him, why did you take the people from the Thousand Faces Sect to Wanbat Mountain, the home of the Sky Bat Clan, to intercept and kill him?
What's more, if Ye Xiaochuan hadn't been behind the scenes, your Thousand Faces Sect wouldn't have ended up like this.
People often say that when a person is about to die, his words are true even if they are not good. We only have time for a cup of tea, so there is no need to lie, let’s tell the truth.”
