The Immortal's Crossing
The surroundings were silent. What awaited them was a thunderous attack.
"Flattening Heaven Seal." The sect leader of Flat Sky Temple pinched his fingers together, and a beam of light appeared, transforming into a huge seal that pressed down.
"Responding to the heavens, always successful!" The sect leader of Yingtian Temple unsheathed his sword, and the sword light fell. It seemed to carry some sort of heavenly will as it descended.
"The Plain Lady draws the Milky Way with one hand." The sect leader of Fairy Lady Palace's robes fluttered in the wind. It was as if the Milky Way had crossed the sky, and Pei Zi Yun was at its end.
The sect leaders of Xuan Fa Sect and Dong Hua Sect also attacked. Lightning flashed. This was the power of an Earth Immortal. "One move, Wind and Thunder Respond."
These sect leaders had been preparing for a long time. This was their killing move.
"Flattening Heaven Seal, Responding to the Heavens Sword, Milky Way Hand." Pei Zi Yun did not expect such moves to exist. He sighed and said, "They are indeed profound."
"But have you ever thought about why the Dao Lord retreated?"
If the five of them had not entered the seventh level, it would have been difficult to say who would win. They might even have retreated. However, at this moment, Pei Zi Yun's expression did not change. He allowed the attacks to land on him.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
A series of metal clanging sounds rang out. All the sect leaders' attacks landed on Pei Zi Yun, but it seemed to have no effect.
"Cast Iron and Fill Copper?" The five sect leaders swallowed with difficulty.
"So you are not so ignorant. Are you done? It's my turn now. " As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Zi Yun opened his eyes. "Let me show you the power of a technique that can be used on a hundred people, condensed into seven steps."
"One wrong move means a thousand mountains and ten thousand rivers. If I want to kill you, I only need one second."
"Intimidate!"
"Buzz!" Golden light flashed in his eyes. With this shout, everyone felt their vision darken. The sky darkened, and endless black clouds appeared.
The five of them felt the world collapse, and with a boom, their minds were crushed.
"No!" The five of them knew that things were not good. Their pupils dilated, and they were shocked to the extreme. They gathered their spiritual energy and tried to break free.
Pei Zi Yun took a step forward and appeared beside the sect leader of Flat Sky Temple. He used the same technique and landed lightly.
"Bang!"
The Pingtian Temple's sect master's body exploded into several pieces as if he had been dismembered by five horses. The thick smell of blood spread across the entire area.
Turning around, Pei Zi Yun's left hand clenched into a fist, leaving only his index and middle fingers.
"Pu!" Suddenly, a cold light shone from his finger, and a head flew out. A scarlet pillar of blood soared into the sky.
Pei Zi Yun turned a third time and pressed his palm against the Sect Leader's chest. At this moment, the Sect Leader was able to move a little. She barely managed to block the attack. With a loud thud, the Sect Leader's body fell several feet back. Her face turned pale and she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. She slowly fell to the ground.
The three of them were defeated within the span of a single breath. Xuan Fa Men recovered from his shock and shouted, "No, this isn't Dao Arts. What kind of demonic arts are you using?"
"As expected of the Headmaster. It's a pity that he realized it too late." Pei Zi Yun shook his head and sighed. These five were all Earth Immortals. Although their cultivation levels weren't high, they shouldn't have been crushed like this.
It was just that he had the statues of the demonic dragon and the giant in his own space. Under the influence of this sudden attack, the five of them were all intimidated.
Although this deterrence only lasted for a moment, it was enough for an expert like Pei Zi Yun.
It could be said that everyone knew the art of war. This was a thunderous attack.
In fact, Pei Zi Yun used all his strength in an instant.
"Boom!" The two fists collided, and a muffled sound was heard. Thunder crackled, and the Sect Leader of Xuan Fa Men's body shook. Bright red blood flowed out of his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. He died instantly.
"Impossible, impossible …" For the first time, the Sect Leader of Dong Hua Sect was at a loss of what to do. On the opposite side, a young man smiled, but a thick murderous aura swept over!
"Next, it's your turn — die!"
Facing the enemy, Pei Zi Yun was merciless and attacked heavily.
"Boom!"
The Sect Leader of Dong Hua Sect was immediately injured. He felt something sweet in his throat and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, but he didn't die. However, in the next instant, a sword slashed across.
"Pu!" His laryngeal bone was broken, and his neck was cut in half. The headmaster of the Donghua Sect fell down. His eyes were wide open, and they were filled with intense unwillingness and despair.
"No!" The Sect Leader of Goddess Palace had just caught her breath when she realized that four of her fellow Daoists had died. Knowing that she was doomed, she laughed bitterly. "The Dao Lord has been dead for a thousand years. I originally thought that the rumors were exaggerated. I thought that if the five of us joined forces, we would definitely win. I didn't expect him to be so powerful, so close to the Dao Lord.
"I hate it. I hate the heavens for being unfair. Which one of us didn't put in our blood, sweat, and tears? We cultivated for decades, yet we wasted our lives. You are only in your twenties, yet you have reached this realm. The heavens are unfair …"
As she spoke, she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The Sect Leader of Goddess Palace's eyes were blurred. Her pupils dilated, and she reached out as if she wanted to grab something in the air. "Great Dao, great …"
Before she could finish her sentence, she was already dead.
Pei Zi Yun didn't speak. He gently wiped away a trace of blood from his lips.
"From today onwards, Dao Sect has lost five Dao Masters. In the whole world, only the Dao Lord and Dragon Qi can be a match for him." Pei Zi Yun said expressionlessly. A bitter feeling crept into his heart. This feeling was sympathy. No, he didn't sympathize with these people at all.
Perhaps it was because all things grieved for their own kind. After becoming a Dao Lord, the heavens hated him, and the spiritual veins dried up. Rather than saying that these people had gone astray, it would be more accurate to say that they were at their wits' end.
No matter how talented and intelligent they were, without the right timing and spiritual Qi, how could they become a Dao Lord?
If he didn't have the Central Dragon Vein and the space to transform demonic Qi, how could things be so smooth?
Pei Zi Yun glanced to his right and leaped onto the ferry. The boat rose without any wind and crossed the river. With a shake of his body, he disappeared on the other side of the river.
After a while, the Dao Lord appeared. He looked different from before. His expression was solemn as he looked at the sky. The sparse raindrops fell again. The surface of the river was bubbling in the wind and rain, gathering and dispersing at times. The Dao Lord looked at it for a long time and let out a long sigh. After a long time, he laughed. "I've read history books. The emperors of each generation grow old day by day. When they see the crown prince in his prime, how can they not be suspicious? There are many cases of infanticide. "
"Father and son are suspicious of each other, much less master and disciple? When I advanced by leaps and bounds, master lived in seclusion in the mountains. He did not want me to visit him. I was still suspicious then. "
"Although the Great Dao is magnanimous, as a Dao Lord, I watched a junior like you grow so quickly. Little by little, you took away the power that belonged to me. I finally understood how the emperor and master felt back then."
"In the beginning of time, who taught Dao? The top and bottom were not formed, how could they be tested? Who could reach the peak of darkness? Feng Yi was like a statue, how could he know? "
"This was sung by a wise man, passed down through the ages. However, if one really thought that the immortal Dao Lord or Dao Ancestor would teach Dao, they are just mortals' golden poles. If one could live forever, why would there be a crown prince? Who would teach Dao?"
"Those who teach Dao, unless they are stupid, are those whose bodies decay."
The Dao Lord felt emotional. After a long time, he took out a talisman. A moment later, Feng Min's voice could be heard from the other side.
Amidst the light, the Dao Lord stood with his hands behind his back. He stared into the distance and did not speak for a long time. After a long time, he said, "Immortal's Crossing, do you know why it was named that?"
"Legend has it that Immortals rode on the wind and crossed the river. Hence, it was named Immortal's Crossing." Feng Min did not understand but replied.
"After a thousand years, even the records of the Dao Records Department are no longer complete." The Dao Lord listened quietly and let out a long sigh, "Actually, many years ago, when I was ambushed, I had to fight my way out of the encirclement and escape to this place. I was already exhausted and I did not expect to meet an old friend. In the end, I was unable to cross the river."
When the Dao Lord said 'old friend', his face was expressionless. Feng Min could not help but shiver as she heard the Dao Lord say, "Immortal's Crossing, Immortal's Crossing … How interesting."
As he spoke, he glanced at her, "Let's cut to the chase. True Lord Pei drank my Cultivation Dispersing Wine and killed the Sect Leaders of the five sects."
"He was indeed a seventh level Earth Immortal."
"Tell me, if there are too many people in the palace, then don't go. If there are too few people, then go. The Imperial Court should be prepared."
As Feng Min listened, her face turned pale. The meaning behind these words was clear, 'If you gather your troops, then I won't come. It's impossible to have hundreds of thousands of troops surrounding the palace every single day.'
Feng Min did not dare to delay any further. Seeing that the spiritual light had been extinguished, she turned around and shouted, "Men, prepare a horse. I'm going to the palace!"
A Daoist scrambled over and hurriedly said, "There are horses. But it's too late now. I haven't informed the palace yet. I'm afraid the palace will be locked down soon …"
"Who wants to listen to your nonsense. Hurry up and hand over the token that the Emperor gave me!" Feng Min's voice had changed, "Hurry, hurry, hurry …"
The Daoist didn't dare to speak any further. He pulled two horses over and handed over the token. Feng Min didn't say anything as she mounted the horse and held the token in her hand. With a shake of the rope, she dashed out of the door.
Imperial Palace, Black Tortoise Hall
"Your Majesty, I believe that the True Sovereign would not dare to come to the Imperial City. Your Majesty should capture the Canton Princess and Ye Su 'er as soon as possible. This is the only way to lure the snake out of its hole and lure the True Sovereign into the trap." An official bowed to the Emperor as he spoke.
At this point, the eunuch who was waiting outside the palace entered.
"Your Majesty, the Dao Records Department's Feng Min requests an audience."
At this point, the Emperor had a tired look on his face, as though he hadn't rested well for days.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Feng Min hurried in and kowtowed to the Emperor.
"No need for formalities, please rise."
"Your Majesty, the Dao Monarch has sent news that the five Sect Leaders ambushed the True Sovereign at the Immortal's Ferry. They were all killed by the True Sovereign." Feng Min stood up and said, "The Dao Monarch said that the True Sovereign has reached the seventh level of the Earth Immortal Stage."
The entire palace fell silent. The Emperor's face turned pale as his hands trembled.
"Continue speaking." The Emperor glared at Feng Min.
"Yes, your Majesty. According to the Dao Monarch, the True Sovereign said that if there are too many people, he wouldn't come." Before he could finish speaking, the official bowed and said, "Indeed, he was right. Pei Zi Yun would not dare to come to the capital city. The only thing we can do now is to find the Canton Princess."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at him as though he was an idiot.
Emperor Qi Tai was in no mood to reprimand this Imperial Censor. He stood up and paced around, mumbling to himself, "If there are too many people, he won't come. If there are too many people, he won't come …"
The meaning of these words was obvious. If the Emperor were to mobilize the army, Pei Zi Yun wouldn't come. But how could one be a thief for a thousand days?
It was not a small expense to have such a large army stationed in the capital city. This was an unstable factor. Didn't you see the abolition of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms?
Emperor Qi Tai paced around a few more times before laughing out, "The True Sovereign is indeed courageous. I have seven thousand Imperial Guards and the Seven Dragons Spiritual Array. Why should I be afraid?"
"I shall wait for him in the Imperial City."
