Outside the Ying Tian Dojo, in the sky above the source of the Ying River, a few tall figures floated in mid-air. They looked down at the entrance of the Ying Tian Dojo, which was protected by a large formation. Waves of spatial fluctuations could still be felt from there. After the collapse of the Central Grotto-Heaven, the entire Ying Tian Dojo began to collapse.
Changhe Laozu of the Ying River Sect was also standing among these people, but at this moment, he was standing at the very back, and he looked very respectful. On his two sides were Wuji Laozu of the Yingshan Sect and Yu Shang Laozu of the Daoyu Sect. In addition, there were three early Dharma adepts, and their attire was similar to that of the mid Dharma adept standing in front of the two adepts. They were probably from the same sect.
One of the two leading adepts was the only mid Dharma adept, and the other adept beside him who was chatting happily with him was only at the early Dharma stage. However, this early Dharma adept was clearly of a higher status than Changhe Laozu and the others behind him. In fact, when he was chatting with the mid Dharma adept, it was the mid Dharma adept who did most of the talking. The early Dharma adept was obviously much more reserved, only occasionally smiling, nodding, and occasionally exchanging a few words with the mid Dharma adept. The mid Dharma adept did not seem to be offended, and instead seemed to be even more interested in the conversation.
At this moment, the mid Dharma adept seemed to have thought of something, and he turned around to ask Changhe Laozu, who was behind him, "Changhe, tell us roughly what happened that day. Although we were fully prepared, we still need to know our enemies well."
Changhe Laozu acknowledged respectfully, and then he recounted how Changhe Laozu and the others had fought with Jiang Tianlin Laozu. He said, "That day, when the three of us were fighting with that person, there were other adepts of the same level watching us from all sides. They thought that they had done a good job, but they did not know that our sect really had a treasured mirror that we had obtained from the Ying Tian Sect years ago. Through this mirror, we could detect the situation within a certain range of our surroundings. Their movements had already been seen by the three of us, and after that, the three of us discovered traces of many people. We discovered that there were about a dozen of them, and about five or six of them were at the Dharma stage, and it was highly likely that they were in cahoots."
The mid Dharma adept did not care about anything else, but when he heard that Changhe Laozu and the other two had actually joined forces to fight against the adept who had concealed his appearance, a cold glint flashed across his eyes. With a slightly serious expression, he asked, "Are you sure that the person who fought with the three of you was really at the early Dharma stage?"
A look of embarrassment flashed across the faces of Changhe Laozu and the others. After all, it was not a good thing to fight three against one, and in the end, the three of them had been defeated by a single person. That was even more embarrassing.
However, now was not the time to be afraid of losing face. Changhe Laozu and the other two said in unison, "We dare not hide this from Mr. Gu Chang. That person is indeed at the early Dharma stage, but his abilities are indeed much stronger than ours."
Mr. Gu Chang paused for a moment and said, "If that is really the case, although we have made some preparations this time, it will be difficult for us to defeat five or six early Dharma adepts. In such a hurry, it will be difficult for us to find more Dharma adepts to help us."
The early Dharma adept beside Mr. Gu Chang smiled without saying a word. Beside him, Changhe Laozu said rather anxiously, "With Mr. Gu Chang's help, even if that adept is at the early Dharma stage, he can't possibly go up against Mr. Gu Chang, who is at the mid Dharma stage. When the time comes, with Gu Qing, Gu Ming, and Gu Hui joining forces with us, and the other formation that we have set up outside of this concealment formation, do you think they will be able to escape?"
Mr. Gu Chang said coldly, "If it is really as you say, the early Dharma adept who defeated the three of you single-handedly will most likely be able to escape."
Changhe Laozu was stunned. His mouth moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, no words came out.
Mr. Gu Chang looked coldly at Changhe Laozu before he calmed down and said, "Compared to what these people have gained from the Yingtian Temple, I would rather know which sect they are from. After all, just like the person you mentioned earlier, in the central plains, adepts like him are mostly from famous sects. Moreover, to send out five or six early Dharma adepts at once, if they are not from famous sects, how could they have such power? If we become enemies with these people today, even if the Gu family has some power, we will not be a match for those famous sects. "
Changhe Laozu said anxiously, "These people could be from the same sect. If they were from the same sect, when the three of us surrounded that person that day, those Dharma adepts who were watching from the sidelines would definitely not have stood by and watched. It is also impossible for them to be from a famous sect. If that was the case, the people who came to the Yingtian Temple now would not just be early Dharma adepts. I am afraid there would have been great adepts who would have come out to take control, and they would not have set up such a covert array. "
Mr. Gu Chang smiled and said, "You have calculated it well. Even so, I am sure that the adepts in the temple would have expected us to ambush them. Even if the Dharma adepts are weak, they will not die so easily. This time, we have set up an ambush. At most, three or four of those five or six Dharma adepts will be killed."
Changhe Laozu wanted to argue, but he heard Mr. Gu Chang's tone change as he said to the early Dharma adept beside him, "However, if Brother Yuwen helps us, it is not impossible for us to kill all five or six of them this time."
The adept beside him smiled and said modestly, "Mr. Gu, you must be joking. Yuwen is only an early Dharma adept. What can he do?"
Although this person's words were modest, there was a hint of arrogance and confidence in his reservedness.
Mr. Gu Chang laughed and said, "Brother Yuwen is too modest. Who doesn't know that the adepts of the Yuwen clan are difficult to defeat at the same level? Just now, Changhe said that the early Dharma adept who fought against three of them alone, don't you want to meet him, Brother Yuwen?"
Mr. Gu Chang's words seemed to have touched a chord in Yuwen Lie's heart, but Yuwen Lie would definitely not get involved in the fights between these small sects for the time being. Although the news of the Yingtian Temple's appearance had shocked him, he had come to the border between the central plains and the northern ice plains this time, and he had a secret mission to carry out for his clan. He could not lose the bigger picture because of a small gain. The most important thing about the Yingtian Temple were some ancient records. These things were priceless treasures to other sects, but to the Yuwen clan, they were nothing.
Therefore, Yuwen Lie laughed and said, "Brother Gu, you flatter me. If what Brother Changhe said is true, that person really fought against three of us alone, then I am most likely not a match for him."
Mr. Gu Chang was experienced and ruthless. Although he was puzzled by the sudden appearance of Yuwen Lie, the adepts of the Yuwen clan had always had an outstanding reputation in the world of practice, so he was not afraid that Yuwen Lie might have any malicious intentions. He wholeheartedly wanted to rope in Yuwen Lie as a helper because the reputation of the Yingtian Temple was not small in the central plains. He needed to borrow the reputation of the Yuwen clan to block off those who coveted it.
Mr. Gu Chang was not a brainless person like Changhe Laozu. What he cared about was not how many things he could obtain from the Yingtian Temple, but whether or not he could successfully occupy these things without incurring the interference of the more powerful sects.
After all, the reputation of the Yingtian Temple was not something that a medium-sized aristocratic family like the Gu family could swallow in one go. However, if he could rope in Yuwen Lie, this matter would become much easier.
The Yuwen clan was the number one aristocratic family in the central plains. The inheritance of the clan could be traced back to the era of the Seventh Patriarch, who opened the heavens. Throughout the generations, there were countless cultivators and experts. It was a power that even the cultivators of some of the large sects in the central plains had to be respectful to. If a cultivator from the Yuwen clan participated in the matter of the Yingtian Temple, then some of the large sects that wanted to intercept the Gu family would not be able to figure out the relationship between the Gu family and the Yuwen clan.
Of course, if the Gu family were to climb up the Yuwen clan and establish a friendship with this Midway clan, Mr. Gu Chang would naturally be more than happy to see this happen. Perhaps the Gu family's status in the central plains' cultivation world would rise greatly because of this.
It was unknown if Yuwen Lie was disdainful, unwilling to be involved in this matter, or if he had seen through Mr. Gu Chang's thoughts. In any case, he did not agree.
Mr. Gu Chang's divine will could feel the increasingly violent vibrations coming from the space in the distance, and he could not help but feel anxious. If he could not get Yuwen Lie to intervene in this matter, the Gu family would not dare to capture all these Dharma adepts in one fell swoop. In this way, the benefits of this ambush would definitely be greatly reduced. After all, the Gu family would not dare to focus all of the attention that the central plains' cultivation world had on the Yingtian Temple on the Gu family.
Mr. Gu Chang's eyes turned, and he seemed to have thought of something. He smiled and said, "Brother Yuwen is too humble. Who doesn't know that the Yuwen clan produces talented people? I heard that among the younger generation of practitioners in your clan, there is a person called Yuwen Feixiang. Some time ago, when he was only at the late Core Forging stage, he severely injured a Dharma adept who had the power of a Dharma adept, making his name known throughout the central plains' cultivation world. I wonder what relationship this person has with Brother Yuwen?"
When Yuwen Lie heard Mr. Gu Chang mention Yuwen Feixiang's name, his expression instantly became somewhat silent. A dim light flashed in his eyes, but it was instantly caught by the sly Mr. Gu Chang, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
After that dim light flashed in Yuwen Lie's eyes, his entire being became somewhat proud. He said, "Feixiang is my younger cousin, and he is truly the number one expert among the younger generation of practitioners in the clan. Although I have advanced to the Dharma stage earlier than him, compared to my younger cousin Feixiang's future, I am still far behind."
"Tsk," Mr. Gu Chang waved his hand and said, "Brother Yuwen is really too humble. I think Brother Yuwen did not get the chance after all. If there had been such a chance, Brother Yuwen might not have done any worse than your younger brother. Who knows how high your future achievements will be in the future!"
Yuwen Lie and Yuwen Feixiang were of the same generation, and the two of them were also similar in age. Yuwen Lie had advanced to the Dharma stage at a young age, and in terms of practice, he was even a head above Yuwen Feixiang. Naturally, he was also one of the best in the Yuwen clan.
However, Yuwen Feixiang was also brimming with talent. Although he had not advanced to the Dharma stage, the Yuwen clan had already seen him as a future core member of the clan to be cultivated. This caused many of the practitioners of the same generation in the Yuwen clan to secretly feel jealous, and Yuwen Lie was obviously one of them. Mr. Gu Chang seemed to know a lot about the news of the Yuwen clan, so he cleverly wanted to use Yuwen Feixiang to carry out his own strategy.
How could Yuwen Lie not see through Mr. Gu Chang's plan? He was originally about to refuse, but he suddenly changed his mind and dispelled the idea.
Yuwen Lie looked at Mr. Gu Chang strangely. Just as Mr. Gu Chang was being stared at by Yuwen Lie, thinking that his scheme had been seen through by Yuwen Lie, Yuwen Lie suddenly spat out a few words that made Mr. Gu Chang overjoyed. "Alright, I'll help you!"
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the sky above Ying River. A huge space tunnel was opened, and the practitioners of the various sects of the North Sea were finally about to exit the Yingtian Dojo.
