The mountain gate that had been closed in the past was opened today, and various colored light spots descended from the sky. Then, familiar or unfamiliar figures glanced around, looking around at this large sect that had been closed for a long time.
The yellow leaves are fluttering in the breeze, and the sound of the rustling leaves is like the tide rippling in the mountains. Compared with the chaotic chaos outside, this place is as harmonious as a paradise.
The birds flying in the forest, the small animals moving among the branches, and even the caterpillars eating on the leaves under the bright sunshine all tell the story of this isolated tranquility.
"I haven't been to Xianyu Sect for many years, and suddenly I feel strange."
Under a huge tree about a hundred feet high, monks dressed in blue and white robes were walking along the path paved with white stone slabs towards the mountain. There were white star emblems on their blue sleeves. These
He is a member of the 'Incense Star Observation Mansion'.
After learning that the Xiangyu Sect was about to reopen the mountain gate, they sent a team of about sixty people to visit, each of whom was a true disciple of the Fenxiang Star Observation Mansion, and there were two eighth-level 'Ascending Realm'
Core team leader.
On the other side of the mountain, which is also the main road of the Xiangyu Sect, a group of people wearing black official uniforms also climbed up the stairs. Some of them kept pointing out the surrounding scenery and telling and introducing the situation of the Xiangyu Sect.
.
"Your Highness Dengchan, this mountain wilderness is the residence of the Xiangyu Sect..."
In the center of the crowd, a tall man was surrounded by everyone and received all kinds of compliments. He was wearing a black robe with dragon patterns. He was none other than the third son of the current King Dai, Heng Dengchan.
After King Dai decided to recruit and surrender the Xiangyu sect, he was sent here, along with many other masters who had already joined King Dai, including some of the true disciples of the 'Nagarjuna Blood Sect' and 'Zhu Zhan Huo Lianyuan'.
There are also three eighth-level transcendent beings in the "Ascension Realm", which can be said to be a huge investment. You must know that on the battlefield of Tianfeng Pass, there are only five eighth-level beings on King Dai's side, and there are actually three in this team.
At the end of the high mountains, in the middle of the layers of yellow woods, there are exquisite Huangmu Palace attic rooms, in which are walking disciples wearing feather gauze robes, and there are thousands of true disciples in the central palace.
Gathering, now their eyes converged, looking at the gorgeous woman kneeling on the high platform in the center, extremely quiet.
"I'm sorry to call you all here today, but the world has changed..." Jinhua, who has a scarlet petal mark on her eyebrows, now looks very weak, with a pale look on her beautiful face.
The current situation of the leader of the Burning Sun Xiangyu Sect is very bad, and can even be said to be in danger, and everything started five years ago.
Very early on, the Burning Sun Xiangyu Faction was aware of the anomalies in the dynasty and what was wrong with Red Phoenix. Unlike other factions, it was not difficult for their group to contact Red Phoenix in the past, so that year Lorraine Hill went to
When visiting Luo Jing, everyone thought they would meet His Majesty the Red Phoenix.
But unfortunately, Lorraine Hill did not see it. Although it could be explained by the sudden change in the world and Chifeng being weak and unable to see outsiders, the seeds of suspicion were still planted.
In the early days of the establishment of the dynasty, the Xiangyu sect, as the representative of Huang Feng Quanbo, had many cooperation with the dynasty, so it also had a large number of contacts and relationships in the dynasty. For example, the Qintian Prison was controlled by the "Fenxiang Guanxing Mansion", a branch of the Xiangyu sect.
The "Autumn Twilight Bronze Dragon Valley" that suppressed the Yellow Sand Abyss, the "Ningzizhao Night Palace" that guarded the Twilight Mountains, etc., and the Xianyu Faction, which had many connections in the Spring Court, later began to secretly investigate the matter about Red Phoenix.
And this was finally noticed by the emperor at that time.
At that time, the emperor was furious and executed hundreds of Chun Guansi officials. He also overhauled several institutions under Chun Guansi. He also issued an edict to question the current leader of the Xiangyu faction and asked Jin Hua to go to Luojing to apologize.
Faced with such a cruel and furious king, Jinhua had to consider the safety of the many disciples in the sect at that time, so she had to restrain everyone and prepare to go to Luojing alone. However, such a decision was rejected by Gu Lie, who believed that he could never go to Luojing to apologize.
, this not only threatens Sumireka's own personal safety, but also the reputation of the Xianyu Sect for many years.
"It's not our fault, why apologize? Don't you know that senior sister will lose every step of the way if she goes away and confesses her guilt?" Gu Lie strongly objected at the time.
"But now it is not a matter of my personal safety and face. We must consider how the faction should deal with the emperor's anger." The two couldn't argue about this.
Later, with repeated quarrels, the conflict began to escalate. In the end, Gu Lie recalled many disciples of the Qianlong lineage of the sect, set up a large formation in the mountains, blocked the communication between inside and outside, and sealed the exit of the secret realm of the cave within the sect, and ordered
Other unrelated disciples can practice with peace of mind and do not interfere or participate in disputes within the sect.
Faced with such a battle, it was impossible to break the formation unless they broke through and killed. Sumireka wanted to confess her crime because she wanted to protect the disciples in the sect, and it was impossible for her to harm her fellow disciples who had set up the formation. In the end, she had to be trapped in the mountain.
Seeing that the Xiangyu sect had not responded, the emperor sent envoys to the Xiangyu sect to question him. That day, Rigu Lie wanted to lead the crowd to kill the imperial envoy on the spot, but in the end, he took into account Jinhua's worries and did not kill him.
But the result was that the envoy team was detained and subdued on the spot.
Seeing that the conflict was irreversible, Sumireka could only sigh at that time, and then summoned the envoy to tell the reason face to face, and deposed his cultivation, hoping that the emperor would forgive his sin.
Afterwards, the envoy returned to Luojing with the photo stone recording the scene of that day and the words and letters. After the emperor thought about it for a long time, perhaps he also thought that it would be detrimental to make a big fuss, so he let the matter go and just ordered the Xianyu sect to close the mountain for a hundred years and not to recruit new people.
disciple.
Although the punishment was handed down, conflicts within the sect had already occurred. Gu Lie refused to accept it, and left the Xiangyu sect with many of his sect members, and went to the "Autumn Dusk Bronze Dragon Valley" stationed in the East Continent, which was owned by the Xiangyu sect.
In the other branch, most of the disciples in the sect are also from the Qianlong lineage, and they have the same spirit as him.
After this, the Burning Sun Xiangyu Sect finally fell silent. Until now, the emperor passed away and the death of Red Phoenix spread and became known to everyone.
At that time, it was just suspicion and assumption, but they did not expect that the truth would be so cruel. Even the Xianyu sect who had been mentally prepared were surprised.
Now that the emperor has passed away, and as mentioned in the Fenghuo Edict, the previous punishment of sealing off the mountains of the Xianyu Sect will naturally no longer take effect. Now, in order to win over this group, King Dai even sent his favorite third party.
The son came to visit to show his sincerity and respect.
On the wide and white main road, the steps are like white jade. The envoys visiting the mountain climb up step by step. The gold and copper Zhanfeng Duo on both sides of the mountain road sway in the wind, collide with each other, and make a cool tinkling sound. When they reach the top of the mountain,
, disciples of the Xiangyu Sect began to stand and wait quietly on both sides of the stairs.
They were all dressed in yellow feathered clothes, carrying Fire Wu Swords at their waists, and wearing vertical crowns on their heads. They were all of extraordinary bearing. The lowest among them was the sixth level, and upwards there were rows of true disciples of the seventh level. Their figures were longing and their voices were grand.
At first, King Dai and his party could still look around with calm expressions, but as they climbed up the stairs, they faced more and more disciples from the sect. The aura sweeping down made everyone sway like a boat in the waves.
Although these disciples of the Xiangyu Sect did not show any hostility, but just standing on both sides in such a coordinated manner, the countless qi machines resonated as one, just like one person. The sound wave formed in this way was silent and terrifying, which shocked the visiting envoys.
Endless.
It is worthy of being one of the direct descendants of Phoenix. As the direct descendant of Quanbo, Xiangyu Sect can be said to inherit the advantages of East and West. Such a method of synergy and resonance can be achieved by relying on formations even if it is not a lineage of killing soldiers (war sequence).
Under such momentum, everyone in the envoy gradually became silent until they slowly reached the platform on the top of the mountain.
The faint sound of chimes rang, and as the inner disciples standing with swords stepped aside, Jinhua, who was being protected by several high-ranking fellow disciples, finally slowly walked out of the palace and came to the front of the envoy. At this time, from the side of the mountain road
The group of the "burning incense stargazing house" who climbed the mountain were also welcomed by Sumireka at the summit square.
"I have met His Highness."
With a simple hand, Sumirehua raised her head and took a closer look at the third son of King Dai who was not far away. She saw him looking at her face and body, with a helpless smile on his face. It seemed that because of his strength,
I can't intimidate this person myself.
Since she gave up her cultivation that year, she has suffered serious internal injuries. Even if she can practice again, she is no longer as good as before, and now she can only return to the sixth level.
This is an untouchable realm for ordinary people, but for people like the Xiangyu sect, it is far inferior. The few junior sisters and brothers accompanying her now are all real eighth-level beings, so
Many of them have been mentored by me, and the friendship is still there. They will not neglect themselves, but they will not be treated like this when facing outsiders.
With these thoughts in mind, Sumirehua shook her head slightly and welcomed everyone into the palace behind her.
The sound of conversation rang out in the cool and empty hall. The group of people sent by King Dai explained their purpose of coming, and stated that they would fight for the Xiangyu faction in the future, and restore the good relationship between the dynasty and Xiangyu, etc.
Faced with these compliments and solicitations, Sumireka just shook her head in the hall, neither refusing nor accepting.
To be honest, she didn't want to get involved in the battle between King Dai and the world, but as the leader of the Xiangyu Sect, she had to consider how the Xiangyu Sect would deal with itself in the future if King Dai finally unified the world.
.
Now that I have taken over the position of leader from the seniors in the Shizun sect, I can no longer limit myself to personal affairs, but have to consider more far-reaching things.
After a conversation, everyone in the envoy saw that Jin Hua did not respond, and finally had to let go. After that, Jin Hua and the group from the Burning Incense Star Observation Mansion reminisced about the past and said hello to each other.
After the sky darkened, everyone left the palace. The envoys and visitors were led to a special residence to rest, while Sumirehua also returned to the depths of the palace on the top of the mountain, thinking alone.
A resting place for everyone in Incense Observation Mansion.
Several team leaders stood together at the railing of the pavilion, looking at the quiet forest under the night stars, with fireflies dotted in it and the leaves rustling peacefully like the tide.
"It's still beautiful here."
"Yes, that Senior Sister Jin Hua, although her strength is not as good as before, she still manages the Xiangyu Sect very well. There are many outstanding disciples in the sect. Even our Fenxiang Star Observation House has to admit that this Xiangyu Sect is
It is the main line and has stronger strength."
After the great incident five years ago, the Xiangyu Sect lost about one-third of its disciples, but the remaining members are still formidable. Among them, there are more than a thousand true disciples of the seventh level and above. As the core members of the eighth level, they are unique.
, there are seven of them, and as for the ordinary sixth-level inner disciples, they are as countless as yellow leaves on the mountain.
Compared to the Xiangyu Sect, there are only about 800 true disciples of the seventh level in Fenxiang Star Viewing Mansion, and there are only five core members of the eighth level. This is already a good strength among many sects, and can be ranked in the middle or upper position.
But it is still a bit worse than the main vein.
"Master came to visit the Xiangyu Sect thirty years ago. At that time, Jinhua had just shown her prominence and was still very immature. She was a little shy following the then Immortal Qingyu." One of the disciples sat back.
Sitting on the wicker chair, enjoying the comfortable evening breeze, I talked about the description I heard from the master.
"Later I heard that she had inherited the position of the leader, and when I didn't want to meet her again, she was already such a beautiful person."
"Hahaha, are you tempted? In fact, intermarriage is quite common among our four branches." Another disciple turned around from the window railing and asked with a smile.
"No, no, no, I'm just talking casually. I still have some self-awareness. With my current condition, I'm afraid I won't be able to get into Senior Sister Sumireka's eyes." He shook his head.
"You understand, but I think Prince Dai's son doesn't quite understand. In the hall today, I saw him repeatedly spying on Senior Sister Sumirehua. I'm afraid he has a lot of ideas."
"So what if he had ideas, it's not the past now." A stern-faced man in the room walked out of the shadows and came to the light in front of the window.
"Now that the destiny of the dynasty has been lost and Chifeng has fallen, I don't know how many people are watching their jokes."
"The Qingluan Five Lines killed all the dynasty clans within the territory, and even forced the Beifu Army to surrender. The Xuanfeng Lineage raised the big black flag again in the Qilei Seven Continents and called out the name of the Eunuch. Although the Honghu Lineage was indifferent, they also
Faintly separated the twenty-two southern continents from the dynasty, and took no action in the face of the rebellion of the Qi Lei seven continents in the north."
"The several lines passed down by Chifeng are currently fighting fiercely internally. Some want to continue to support the royal family, while others want to sever ties and run away. It depends on how they decide in the future."
"As for our Huang Feng Quai Bao four branches, although they have not expressed their stance, it is estimated that it will still depend on how the Xiang Yu Sect responds in the end."
"Gu Lie went to Qiu Mu Bronze Dragon Valley. Although he had quarreled with Jin Hua before, the source of the quarrel is no longer there. It is not difficult for Jin Hua to convince him again."
"Ningzi Zhaoye Palace owed a favor to Xiangyu Sect ten years ago because of the incident at Ximu Mountains. If that junior sister Luo Lan comes back, it will be very easy to convince everyone with her as a representative to Zhaoye Palace."
"As for our 'Fenxiang Star Observation Mansion', we were very close to the dynasty clan before, but now we must consider severing this kind of contact."
"What the Commander-in-Chief said is true, alas... Nowadays, these two kings and one emperor are not like human kings. I think the world is still in chaos. It will take a few more years to wait for some hero to show up and turn the tide and save the world from the fire.
.”
Several people stood in front of the window, watching the sky filled with stars. Occasionally, shooting stars streaked across the night sky, leaving fleeting traces.
Burning incense and bathing, observing the star trails, traversing the Milky Way, searching for fate, if the dynasty loses its deer, the whole world will chase it away.
