Where was the key to solving the Green Jade Canal?
Wuxing School had been preparing for more than ten years and had eliminated almost all the loopholes. The only key to finding out was the moment when the two rivers met.
The Qing Ming River and the Yulan River could not merge. This was a secret known by the entire world of practitioners. At this time, the two rivers flowed into the canal and converged towards the center, one north and one south. If Wuxing School really had a way to make the two rivers merge the moment they met, then the Pure Yang Five would definitely be waiting there.
Preventing the Pure Yang Five Sons from fusing the two water veins was the simplest way to crack the Green Jade Canal. As long as the Five Elements Sect could not complete this fusion, the two water veins would inevitably return to the main veins of the two great rivers after a long time. The so-called Green Jade Canal would really only be a canal left, and it would no longer have the effect that the Five Elements Sect had intended to use to support the Broken Water Vein.
Luo Ya River, Luo Xin Mountain.
Luo Ya River was a river located between the Yulan River and the Qing Ming River. Although this river was not as large as the Yulan River and the Qing Ming River, it was still considered one of the few rivers in Central Plains.
In the middle of the Luo Ya River flowed Luo Xin Mountain. This Luo Xin Mountain was heart-shaped, and because it was located near the Luo Ya River, it was called Luo Xin Mountain.
On top of Luo Xin Mountain, there was a medium-sized sect known as the Luo Xin Sect. This medium-sized sect had a legacy of 3,000 years in Central Plains. There was a Grand Adept in the sect, and in addition to other mid and early Dharma adepts, there were seven or eight of them.
In the North Sea, a sect with this level of strength could compete with Xuan Ling Sect and Cang Hai Sect. But in the Middle Earth, where there were many sects, even if it was not outstanding, its influence was only within a radius of two to three thousand miles.
However, at this time, the Luo Xin Sect was tightly locked. The entire sect's defense formation was up as if they were facing a formidable enemy. In the Luo Xin Palace at the top of Luo Xin Mountain, led by the sect's only Grandmaster, Luo Xin Laozu, eight Dharma adepts of the Luo Xin Sect stood in the palace.
Five seats were placed neatly at the front of the Luo Xin Palace. Five old men of different appearances sat on the seats and listened to Luo Xin Laozu's report. There were also several great cultivators standing at the sides.
"Does that mean the Luo Ya Water Vein is completely under the control of the Luo Xin Sect?"
Mu Lingzi, who was sitting on the leftmost side, suddenly opened his eyes and asked as he glanced at Patriarch Luo Xin calmly.
Luo Xin Laozu bowed very low. After a moment of silence, she said, "I dare not say that it is completely safe. However, after the ancestors of the Luo Xin Sect separated from the Five Elements Sect 3,000 years ago, they remembered the Sage Sect's responsibility. For the past 3,000 years, the Luo Xin Sect has been relying on the Sage Sect. Although our sect is only one of the five sects that control the Luo Ya Water Vein, with the guidance of the Sage Sect, we have been secretly setting up a Water Vein Breaking Array. When the two water veins meet, we will completely cut off the Luo Ya Water Vein."
Mu Lingzi nodded. The expression on his face was noncommittal. However, Fire Lingzi, who was beside him, suddenly opened his mouth. His voice was like a series of bursting flames, "What if the other four sects interfere at the same time?"
Luo Xin Laozu's reply was still humble. However, she seemed to be very prepared. She said, "The other four sects have their own grudges. They will definitely not interfere at the same time, and they will not have the time to do so. Furthermore, this is obviously the Sage Sect's plan. They do not have the guts to interfere."
Luo Xin Laozu flattered Fire Spirit. Then, she began to express her determination to the five Laozu's. She said, "Even if that happens, for the sake of the Sage Sect, we can give up a part of the water vein that our sect controls when the Yulan and Qingming water veins meet. We can then completely merge it with the other two water veins. This will not affect the Sage Sect's plan."
Fire Spirit nodded in satisfaction. However, he immediately saw that there were two younger-looking practitioners behind Luo Xin Laozu. They seemed to be displeased. Among the three middle-aged practitioners in the middle Dharma stage, one of them was expressionless. However, compared to the other two, he was very eye-catching.
Whether it was cutting off the Luo Ya water vein or giving up a part of the water vein that Luo Xin Sect controlled, it was an action that would damage the foundation of Luo Xin Sect. By then, regardless of whether the two water veins were merged or not, Luo Xin Sect would still suffer a heavy blow.
Once the water vein was no longer connected, if the Five Elements Sect retreated, the five of them would naturally not dare to provoke the Five Elements Sect. However, the Luo Xin Sect would definitely become the scapegoat. Thinking about the people who had stirred up a storm in the cultivation world because of this matter, all of them were famous Great Divinities. By then, the entire Luo Xin Sect might not even be able to be destroyed by Eighth Sister Zhu alone.
Even if Wuxing School succeeded in the end, Luo Xin Sect would lose the support of the Luo Ya water vein. The foundation of the entire sect would be reduced by at least a third. Even though Wuxing School said that they would definitely be compensated, Wuxing School that had made up for the water vein would definitely end up provoking the entire cultivation world. Even if Luo Xin Sect received the compensation from Wuxing School, without the support of Wuxing School, it was hard to say whether they would be able to keep the compensation.
The expressions of the Dharma adepts of Luo Xin Sect were seen by Fire Lingzi. Naturally, the other four Pure Yang Laozu also noticed. Jin Lingzi, who was on the far right, looked at the eight Dharma adepts of Luo Xin Sect. It was as if a pair of sharp swords had pierced through their insides. Not only did the dissatisfied cultivators turn as pale as paper, even Luo Xin Laozu's heart suddenly sank. She felt as if there was a blade on her back, and she lowered her head even more.
A sound like metal rubbing against each other rang out. Jin Lingzi's voice was so cold that it almost penetrated the hearts of Luo Xin Laozu and the rest. He said, "What is it? Are you dissatisfied with anything?"
The Luo Xin Sect cultivators in the Luo Xin Palace all shuddered. Luo Xin Laozu, who was almost a thousand years old, smiled and said, "The Luo Xin Sect is only where it is today because of the Sage Sect's support. Now is the time for the Luo Xin Sect to repay the Sage Sect. Even if we have to use all our strength, it is only right."
Luo Xin Laozu's words made the Dharma adepts of Luo Xin Sect lower their heads even more.
Beside Jin Lingzi was the first Pure Yang Laozu of the Broken Water Sect in the past few thousand years. Shui Lingzi smiled and said, "Brother Luo Xin, please rest assured. Once the Green Jade Canal is opened, our sect will need the Luo Xin Sect as a bridgehead to guard the water channel. When that time comes, the Sage Sect will only strengthen the Luo Xin Sect and not weaken it. As for the other forces, if I were to promise you that there will not be any, I'm afraid you will not believe me. However, it is precisely because of this that the Sage Sect is willing to pay any price to help the Luo Xin Sect gain a foothold here."
After the first blow, the benefits came immediately. The two pure Yang Patriarchs of the Five Elements Sect worked very well together. Naturally, Patriarch Luo Xin had to put on a good show.
The Dharma adepts behind Luo Xin Laozu straightened their backs slightly. Luo Xin Laozu was also very grateful. She said, "Thank you, Sage Sect, for your understanding. The Luo Xin Sect will be of one mind and will definitely do everything we can for the Sage Sect!"
Shui Lingzi smiled and said, "If that's the case, Brother Luo Xin, please go and prepare. I believe there will be a fierce battle soon. The Sage Sect has been planning for hundreds of years for this and we cannot afford to lose it. The Luo Xin Sect is an important part of the Sage Sect's plan. The rest will depend on the Luo Xin Sect."
Luo Xin Laozu was so excited that her voice started to tremble. She said, "Serving the Sage Sect is the foundation of our sect for 3,000 years!"
As soon as Luo Xin Laozu finished her sentence, Earth Lingzi, who had been sitting in the middle, suddenly said, "They're here!"
Luo Xin Laozu did not know what was going on. She looked up and saw that Earth Lingzi, who had been silent all this while, had opened his eyes. His gaze landed on Luo Xin Laozu for a moment before leaving. The four Pure Yang Laozu beside him were also stunned. Then, a series of loud noises could be heard. The Sect-Protecting Formation of the Luo Xin Sect shook violently and seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
Luo Xin Laozu was shocked. There was a hint of panic in her eyes. Judging from the series of attacks that hit the Sect-Protecting Formation, it was at least four late Dharma adepts who had joined forces.
However, Luo Xin Laozu immediately thought of the five Pure Yang Laozu in front of her and the few great adepts from the Wuxing School around them. However, these people were extremely calm and there was no expression on their faces.
Luo Xin Laozu immediately regained her composure and the panic she felt earlier disappeared. Then, she heard Water Lingzi say with a smile, "Friend Luo Xin, there is no need to panic. Just focus on dealing with the enemy."
Luo Xin Laozu pretended to be relaxed and responded. Then, she led the Dharma adepts out of the Luo Xin Palace.
After the Luo Xin Sect adepts left, Fire Lingzi said to a great adept from the Wuxing School, "Huo Xuan, follow them secretly. Be careful of their tricks!"
Just as Huo Xuan agreed, a great adept beside him smiled and said, "You don't have to do this, Uncle-Master. When I helped the Luo Xin Sect strengthen the Sect-Protecting Formation, I already did something. If they dare to do anything, I will know immediately. When that time comes, it will be as easy as raising your hand to destroy them."
When Fire Lingzi saw who was speaking, he laughed and said, "I knew you, Jin Chan, were the most cunning. Your formation skills are getting better and better. Even your teacher was no better than this."
Jin Chan smiled and said, "It's a pity that I have limited talent. Now, my understanding of formations is almost at its limit. It's a pity that the nine core formations of the Southern Sea Nether Lost Formation have collapsed. Otherwise, I could have studied inside for decades and might have a chance to surpass my teacher."
The great adept, Jin Chan, obviously had a high status in the Wuxing School. Although he was only a late Dharma adept, he still maintained the proper respect in front of the five Pure Yang Laozu and was able to speak calmly. From his tone, it was obvious that he was a master-level formation master.
At that moment, Earth Lingzi's voice suddenly rang in Jin Chan's ears. He asked, "Can this Sect-Protecting Formation withstand an attack from a Pure Yang adept?"
"What?"
Jin Chan was stunned. Then, his expression changed. He turned his gaze as if he wanted to see through the Luo Xin Palace to see what was happening outside.
