Taoist Huanglong spoke in a sad and angry tone as he recounted his experiences of more than a thousand years.
Ji Tianxing leaned on the bronze throne and listened quietly.
But no one knew that he had been staring at Nie Tianchen from the corner of his eye, secretly observing Nie Tianchen's reaction.
However, Nie Tianchen always looked calm and behaved very normally.
Taoist Huanglong talked for a while and roughly recounted the nine crises that nearly wiped out the family.
"Master, after those nine disasters, our sect has declined, withered, and become sluggish.
Most of the three thousand disciples back then had died in the battle, or had quietly fled Tianzhu Mountain.
In recent years, there are only about 230 people left in our sect, including more than 50 servants and 160 disciples..."
Ji Tianxing frowned and said in a low tone: "Our disciples are so rare that they are not even as good as an ordinary second-rate sect.
By the way, you have been fighting against various forces for more than a thousand years, have you ever found out their details?"
Taoist Huanglong thought for a moment and replied: "Over the past thousand years, there have been thousands of forces that have dealt with our sect overtly or covertly, large and small.
The disciples divided those forces into three levels. The lowest-level forces are often those who are instigated by others or motivated by interests.
These forces are nothing to worry about, they are just a mob, and the disciples cannot even remember their origins or names.
The more powerful first-class forces are all empires or top sects, which have strong martial saints in charge, and also have a large number of strong tribulation masters.
Either the forces of the martial saints were defeated by you, or they are the forces that want to occupy Tianzhu Mountain and seize the secret books of martial arts.
These forces are very difficult to deal with, and if you are not careful, they will severely damage your sect and severely damage your sect's vitality.
What is truly terrifying are the two superpowers hidden in the dark.
One of the forces has found out its identity, and it is the ghost clan of Beiming Mountain.
And the other force is a certain powerful kingdom of God!"
Hearing this, Ji Tianxing frowned fiercely, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
“It’s understandable that the demons in Beiming Mountain should deal with our sect.
Thousands of years ago, I helped the Luoshui Martial God to fight into Beiming Mountain with my sword, destroying ninety-six tribes in a row, and massacred millions of demons.
The four great demon saints came to besiege me, and I severely wounded three of them.
They hate me so much that they will naturally come to take revenge on Tianzhu Mountain after I ascend.
But who is the force of the Kingdom of God hidden in the dark that you are talking about?"
Ji Tianxing showed a look of thought and murmured in a low voice: "The Luoshui Kingdom has the closest relationship with me. It is too late to protect Tianzhu Mountain and it is absolutely impossible to deal with Tianzhu Mountain.
As for Taihao Divine Kingdom... Taihao Martial God owes me a favor and treats me with great courtesy.
He is not a sinister and despicable villain, so there is no way he can deal with Tianzhu Mountain.
Now that I think about it, only Tian Jue Martial God's cold and arrogant attitude has some dissatisfaction with me..."
Taoist Huanglong nodded and said, "Yes, the situation is just as Master said.
The disciples clashed with that force countless times, and after conducting investigations for hundreds of years, they finally grasped the clues and evidence and found out their identities.
They are people from Tianjue Divine Kingdom! Moreover, they are probably under the instructions of Tianjue Martial God!
As for the Luoshui Kingdom, it has often secretly helped us over the past thousand years and resolved many crises and difficulties.
If it weren’t for the secret help from Luoshui Divine Kingdom, I’m afraid our sect wouldn’t be able to survive today.”
Ji Tianxing listened with a calm face and thought to himself: "I owed Luo Shui a lot of love and I haven't repaid it yet. Now I owe more and I can't even repay it."
He looked at Taoist Huanglong with burning eyes and asked in a solemn tone: "Besides Tianjue Divine Kingdom and Beiming Mountain, what other forces are persecuting our sect?
The two large formations I set up back then have been destroyed, resulting in the lack of spiritual energy in Tianzhu Mountain.
Anyone who can see the formation of one hundred and eight peaks must at least have the strength of the Martial Saint Realm.
And the person who can break those two great formations must be a strong warrior."
Taoist Huanglong hesitated for a moment before replying angrily: "With two powerful enemies, Tianjue Divine Kingdom and Beiming Mountain, our sect is already in danger.
But our current situation involves not only external troubles, but also internal worries!
When Master was in command of Tianzhu Mountain, sects from all over the world came to worship him, and countless geniuses felt proud to be members of this sect.
Around Tianzhu Mountain, all villages, towns, cities and sects within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles all submit to this sect.
But now, most of the nine sects and eighteen sects that surrendered to us have had different intentions.
Most of the more than 300 cities, tens of thousands of villages, towns and tribes that submitted to us at that time have left our jurisdiction.
They either set up their own sect or surrendered to other sects..."
After hearing these words, Ji Tianxing suddenly showed a stern smile.
"Hehehe...it's true!
At that time, when our sect was strong and powerful, hundreds of cities surrendered to seek protection, and all nine sects and eighteen sects also surrendered and regarded themselves as ministers.
Now that our sect has declined, all forces have rebelled...
No wonder those two great formations were destroyed and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth dried up!"
After muttering a few words to himself, he continued: "Huang Long, if there is any other bad news, please share it with me."
Taoist Huang Long looked at him deeply, his heart filled with self-blame and shame.
Obviously, Ji Tianxing was mentally prepared and prepared for the worst.
Therefore, Taoist Huanglong continued to report the news.
"A few months ago, a large number of powerful ghosts from Beiming Mountain used conspiracy and tricks to sneak into our sect and start killing.
In that battle, the disciples and several elders were injured, and the sixth and seventh elders also died.
There were also several deacons, more than fifty disciples, and more than thirty guards, all of whom were killed by the strong ghost clan.
The sect originally had more than 200 people, but only about 180 are left.
Now that our defense strength is empty, we are already in danger.
However, when the nine sects and eighteen sects heard the news, they took the opportunity to change again and began to rebel.
Only two of the four sects still cherish their old friendship and belong to their own sect in name, but they will not help.
The other seven sects and fourteen sects are divided into two groups, and they are planning to go to Tianzhu Mountain, seize the dojo, and seize the master's inheritance!"
Hearing this, Ji Tianxing's breath became even colder, and his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"What a treacherous villain who forgets his ancestors!
Back then, they took the initiative to climb Tianzhu Mountain and came to me with heavy gifts to beg me to include them in the name of Tianzhu Mountain.
I made an agreement with the heads of the nine sects and eighteen sects to protect them in the world and teach them the secrets of martial arts...
Now they want to join forces to destroy Tianzhu Mountain and seek to seize my martial arts inheritance?
Huang Long, what sects do those two groups of forces have?"
Taoist Huanglong said with an angry tone: "The Shuijing Sect, Zhanlong Sect and Wentian Sect in the east are colluding together and have gathered six sects, with Zhanlong Sect as the leader.
The Feihe Sect, Chiyun Sect, Ziji Sect and Wuya Sect in the west are collaborating together and have gathered eight major sects, with Wuya Sect leading the way."
