Chapter 1133 - 570: Hold Your Hands, Slowly (Part 2)
Fortunately, the three of them weren’t so foolish as to immediately start a brawl. For the moment, the Treasure Light paused, and the Divine Light was restrained, revealing their true selves to make an entrance.
Chen Xuantian took a closer look and found it quite peculiar.
Well, it truly seems that destiny has brought them together again. There’s no escaping it. Surprisingly, it’s another group of familiar faces. It seems that the Mystic Sect indeed has few talented individuals left, just the same old faces over and over.
In any case, the leading figure wore a celestial robe lined with heavenly Silk, Crane Feather Immortal Robe, and a smoke green gauze Daoist robe over it. At his waist were silk cords twisted with golden threads, hanging a White Jade Dragon Pattern, Green Gold Chi Tiger, Sheep Fat Blood-Soaked Jade Token. Underfoot coiled a White Snake, pure without mixed scales, with a fine horn on its forehead, partially taking the shape of a Jiao. The snake coiled thrice, supporting its sleeve, while the person borrowed the snake’s force, moving gracefully.
In his hand was a Seven Stars Sword, its scabbard inlaid with Beidou Seven Shells. Dots of resplendent light burst forth, piercing clouds with sword energy, undoubtedly top-grade treasures. He wore a long crown resembling a magpie’s tail, with streaks of green radiance hanging down, concealing his face, leaving only a pair of tiger eyes visible, shining like stars. It was indeed Yu Shangu, one of the Five Heroes of Xieluo.
Hm, Chen Xuantian remembered this person well. Back then, when Tie Dan had just formed his elixir and came out, he ended up disrupting their squad, leading to a bout with this person. Now Tie Dan is the Sword Sect Leader, master of the mountain, yet this fellow is still stuck at the Golden Core stage. Also, despite Yu Shangu’s boasting, even Tie Dan could easily take on five of them, not knowing what makes them truly formidable...
As for those following behind him, coming together, their Immortal Dresses fluttered, two female cultivators in brocade Ling Luo, one in a red silk skirt, the other in a snow-white Immortal Dress. Their figures and appearances were also quite familiar, naturally having crossed paths with Sword Sect members. They should die fifty years later as the Grandmistress and Littlemistress.
Golden Fish Head instantly transmitted a message,
"Brother, surrender. That person is Yu Shangu, appearing just now, seemingly desperate enough to fight to the death. It’s not worth it."
Triangular Eyes added,
"Yes, yes, those two behind are from Songshan. I see the older one hasn’t healed from serious wounds, clearly here to leech off opportunities, but didn’t expect you to be so strong. Yu Shangu must not be careless and must win decisively. If they fail, they’ll surely make a lethal move. Why don’t we just escort you out?"
Chen Xuantian knowingly asked,
"Songshan’s people? Your junior sister?"
Triangular Eyes rolled his eyes at him,
"They’re not the same kind as us Mixed Cultivators. They are True Inheritors from the Bixia Xuan Nu Temple, exclusive servants of Xuan Nu. I’ve heard now Bixia’s inheritance is down to just these two. They must have numerous treasures and magic treasures at their disposal. Seriously harming them would bring big trouble."
These words were correct; Xuan Nu Temple indeed held an extremely high status within the Mystic Sect. Punching kindergartens was one thing, but severing their Daoist Inheritance would weigh heavily... Wait a minute, if he doesn’t kill them now and leaves them for Huangfu Yi fifty years later, wouldn’t it be harder for him to handle?
For a while, Chen Xuantian hesitated as Yu Shangu stepped forward, both sides yet to begin fighting and throwing insults, when suddenly the situation changed. Another escape light flashed from the horizon, entering the fray.
"Hold your hand!"
In an instant, everyone looked towards the person actively involving themselves in this storm.
Indeed, they came from beyond the tribulation. Originally, the heavens were surrounded by four Divine Lights, with the Divine Monarch executing the tribulation, making escape difficult even with wings. However, just now Kongtong Mountain’s defenses were broken, and the Sect Leader’s True Inheritor Wei Lingfeng took a death blow for his junior sister, was rushed out for emergency rescue, leaving an opening and withdrawing one path of life.
So Golden Fish Head and Triangular Eyes meant that under such a large gap, there was no need to clash head-on. Just take him along and flee, leaving the green mountain intact, unafraid of running out of firewood.
And this moment’s entrant came through this gap. He wore a dark blue Daoist robe, broad and refined, with sleeves rolled up, showing his wheat-colored neck, muscle and bone sharply defined as if forged. A hemp rope at his waist held an old gourd, the wooden plug smoothed round, the rope darkening, his attire not particularly striking.
Nonetheless, his appearance was dignified, extremely tall with broad shoulders and a strong back, bone structure wide and bright, sword-like brows extending into his temples, eyes inked like lacquer, his hair tied high with a green cord in the back, tiger palms full of calluses, clearly from years of gripping swords, adept in Martial Refinement and Body Sculpting.
"East Sea Three Mountains Qi Refiner, Taishang Xuanzhen Bu Zishan, Taoist name Shi Ren, Greetings to all senior brothers and senior sisters."
Bu Zishan cupped his hands in greeting, smiling brightly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, which drew frequent glances from the Grandmistress and Littlemistress.
Yu Shangu’s expression remained unchanged.
Chen Xuantian mentally calculated.
East Sea Three Mountains, Taishang Dao... It’s actually not some overseas Mixed Cultivator. When sorted out, it truly is authentic peers from the same sect, the Mystic Sect’s direct lineage, a brother from the same lineage.
Yes, because the Thunder Ancestor’s lineage is precisely the Taishang Dao, isn’t it clear from the title on the book itself?
"Supreme Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Jade Scripture"
Nine Heavens refers to Xuan Nu, and the Thunder Ancestor’s Taoist name is Shenxiaozi. The four cardinal guardians aren’t they exactly Yuqing, Da Fan, Ziwei, and Xuan Du.
Thus the Taishang Dao’s Ancestral Court is at Danxia Mountain’s Shenxiao Path. Among Shenxiaozi’s four disciples, except Master Xuan Du remaining to guard the mountain and pass on teachings, the other three were sent off to uphold the world. So strictly speaking, even now Chen Xuantian could claim to be inheriting the Supreme Dao, a disciple of Yuqing.
Interestingly, although these brothers have long been scared into reincarnation by Nan Hua, all insidious and selfish, actual affairs seem unaffected, as they still adhere to the ancient agreement, secretly protecting the world over these millennia.
For instance, Yuqingzi once guarded the West, later Lingxuzi also chose to attain the Dao on Qingcheng Mountain, pressing Kunlun Demons to keep their heads down. Da Fanzi once presided over the North, with Cang Bi now leading the Emei Seven Monsters, blocking Demon Tides at the Nine Borders frontline and Yin Mountain Snowfield.
