…
Outside the Divine Rain Pond, the smile on Sixth Elder's face did not last long, because the news of Fang Zhengzhi entering the Fourth Heaven had spread.
"The Fourth Heaven?! How did this brat do it? " Sixth Elder wanted to say that even if Fang Zhengzhi entered the Fourth Heaven, he would never be able to catch up to Chi Guyan.
However, he did not know why.
In his heart, there was an inexplicable sense of panic. He could not help but keep telling himself that it was impossible. It was impossible for this brat to defeat Chi Guyan.
Absolutely impossible!
Of course, the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples surrounding the Divine Rain Pond had the same thought as Sixth Elder. To them, the news of Fang Zhengzhi entering the Fourth Heaven was equally shocking.
"Did he really enter the Fourth Heaven?"
"Just one more Heaven!"
"Senior Chi Guyan is in the Fifth Heaven now …"
The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples looked at each other, and saw the same nervousness and disbelief in each other's eyes.
Shock, nervousness.
However, time did not pass slowly.
As time passed, more and more news came from the Divine Rain Pond. One by one, the news of Heaven Dao Pavilion's disciples entering the Third Heaven also came one after another.
When the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples heard this news, they naturally began to feel proud of their seniors and juniors who had successfully entered the Third Heaven.
However, while they were proud …
Everyone was secretly waiting in their hearts.
…
In the Heaven Dao Pavilion, while countless Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples were anxiously waiting for the news of Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan in the Divine Rain Pond, the Holy Region was no longer as peaceful as it used to be.
Although the Holy Region had never been peaceful in the past, the Five Sects of the Holy Region had always guarded a bottom line that could not be crossed.
However, this bottom line had been breached …
This was because the Leader of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, Tian Xing, was swallowed by the Blood Offering Illustration in the Heaven Dao Pavilion, and entered the Heaven-Receiving Door. Until now, no one knew if he was still alive or not.
Something had happened to the Leader of a sect, and it happened in the Heaven Dao Pavilion. How could something like this end so quietly?
Nine Pinnacles Mountain.
A towering mountain stood in the southwest of the Holy Region. Similarly, it was also a huge active volcano. Due to the huge difference in temperature between the foot of the mountain and the top of the mountain, it seemed to be shrouded in fog all year round.
However, there was a natural barrier on top of this active volcano. It was an incomparably huge rock. On the rock, there were nine huge three-legged black cauldrons in the shape of nine aligned stars.
No one knew how long these nine three-legged black cauldrons had been through. To the people of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, these nine black cauldrons were born from heaven and earth.
Below the nine three-legged black cauldrons was a naturally formed flat ground. On the flat ground, hundreds of stone houses of different sizes were piled up from black rocks.
This was the Nine Pinnacles Mountain.
At this moment, there were more than a thousand Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples dressed in black standing outside a fifty-foot tall stone house in the middle of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain.
Inside the stone house, nine old men dressed in black robes were gathered around a huge stone table. Every one of them had a solemn expression on their faces.
"We don't know if Sect Leader is dead or alive. We have to get the Heaven-Receiving Door to Nine Pinnacles Mountain no matter what!" A voice rang out.
"How do we get it? Snatch it? "Another voice replied.
"So what if we snatch it? Do you think we're afraid of the Heaven Dao Pavilion? "
"Elders, please be quiet!" A white-haired old man sitting at the head of the stone table spoke. "Snatching it … isn't the best way!"
"Great Elder, what do you think?" When the other old men heard the white-haired old man's words, they all looked at him with respect.
In the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, Sect Leader Tian Xing was naturally the most respected. After him was the Great Elder of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain.
"We don't know if Sect Leader Tian Xing is dead or alive in this battle in the Heaven Dao Pavilion. To the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, this is a once-in-a-century crisis!" Great Elder said slowly.
"We understand what Great Elder is saying. However, we can't just sit back and do nothing, right?"
"That's right. If we continue to sit back and do nothing, the other sects will definitely think that the Nine Pinnacles Mountain is powerless. When that happens, we'll be in an even greater crisis!"
"Third Elder is right. Although this is a crisis for the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, sitting back and doing nothing is definitely not the best way. Furthermore, how are we going to explain this to the Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples outside the Heaven Dao Pavilion? How are we going to explain this to the disciples who died in the Heaven Dao Pavilion? "
The few elders spoke one after another.
In a month's time, the disciples who went to the Nine Pinnacles Mountain had already returned from the Heaven Dao Pavilion. Naturally, news of Tian Xing's death had already spread throughout the Nine Pinnacles Mountain.
The Great Elder frowned.
He naturally knew what the few elders were thinking. Tian Xing's fate was unknown, and they had not managed to retrieve the Thousand Years Fire Herb. Dozens of disciples had died in the Blood Offering Illustration. No matter what, they had to give the Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples an explanation.
However …
How were they going to explain this?
The Heaven Dao Pavilion was not weaker than the Nine Pinnacles Mountain. Furthermore, with Tian Xing's death, the Nine Pinnacles Mountain might not have a chance of winning even if they went all out.
Furthermore, the other three sects were eyeing them. If the Nine Pinnacles Mountain and the Heaven Dao Pavilion were to fight to the death, the era of the Five Sects of the Holy Region would be rewritten.
"We definitely have to explain this matter, but we're not asking for an explanation from the Heaven Dao Pavilion!" Great Elder finally spoke after thinking for a long time.
"Not the Heaven Dao Pavilion?"
"Great Elder, are you looking for Chi Guyan? Or Fang Zhengzhi? "
When the other elders heard this, they more or less understood the situation. In fact, they also knew that it was impossible for them to fight the Heaven Dao Pavilion head-on with the current situation.
"Who do you think we can look for in our current situation?" Great Elder did not directly answer the elders' question. Instead, he asked them a question.
"We …" The other elders swallowed their words as they frowned. Their faces were filled with helplessness.
Deep down, they were naturally more inclined to look for Chi Guyan. After all, everything that had happened was caused by Chi Guyan snatching the Thousand Years Fire Herb.
However, they also understood.
Once Chi Guyan was involved, it was inevitable that they would clash with the Heaven Dao Pavilion. Furthermore, Chi Guyan was currently in the Heaven Dao Pavilion. It was too difficult to find trouble with her.
"If Leader Tian did not want to eliminate a future threat for the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, he would not have been ambushed by Nangong Hao. Hence, I feel that the root of this matter lies with Fang Zhengzhi. Of course, other than Fang Zhengzhi, there's also the Nangong Nobles and Nangong Hao's brother, Nangong Mu!" Great Elder saw that the other elders were silent and his tone changed.
"Mm, Great Elder's words make sense. Killing Fang Zhengzhi would be considered as fulfilling Leader Tian's wish. As for the Nangong Nobles and Nangong Mu, they won't be able to escape either!"
"That's right!"
"If we can kill Fang Zhengzhi and Nangong Mu, and destroy the Nangong Nobles, the disciples of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain will naturally not have any more objections. I agree with this decision!"
When the other elders heard this, they nodded their heads.
As the elders of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, how could they not understand the current situation? To the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, accumulating strength and re-establishing a new leader were the most important things.
However, if they did not have an explanation for this matter, it would not do either.
Hence, looking for Fang Zhengzhi and Nangong Mu, who were directly related to this matter, and whose powers had not reached the Sage State, was naturally the best choice.
"Great Elder, I agree with your decision, but … I'm worried about something!" At this moment, a hesitant voice rang out.
"Fifth Elder, are you worried about the Heavenly Prophecy?" Great Elder asked.
"That's right, the Heavenly Prophecy landed on Chi Guyan and Fang Zhengzhi at the same time. If it was just a coincidence, there would naturally be no problem, but what if it wasn't?" Fifth Elder nodded his head.
"Fifth Elder's words are not without reason. Double Dragon Roll Champion, shocking the world … Could it really be referring to two people?" Another voice expressed his doubt at this moment.
Great Elder frowned once again, and did not speak immediately.
The other elders also fell silent. After all, once anything related to the Heavenly Prophecy and the prophesied Son of Destiny, they had to be cautious.
"Chi Guyan has the Nüwa bloodline, this is something that all of us know. Although Fang Zhengzhi's powers are not bad, he does not have any signs of the Gifted Bloodline. Furthermore, I heard that he has an illness, and his lifespan is less than three months. Personally, I think that the probability of this being a coincidence is at least 70%!"
"Even if it's really a coincidence, Chi Guyan and Fang Zhengzhi's relationship was obviously rather close. Once they know that Fang Zhengzhi died in the hands of Nine Pinnacles Mountain, it will definitely be a problem in the future. This concerns the future of Nine Pinnacles Mountain, we have to think more about it …" Fifth Elder spoke up again.
"Yes, I understand what Fifth Elder means!" At this moment, the Great Elder finally spoke again, "I have also considered this matter. Therefore, when doing this, we can't act alone!"
"What do you mean, Great Elder?"
"Actually, after receiving the news from Heaven Dao Pavilion, I've already sent someone to Yin Yang Hall to discuss this matter with the Hallmaster of Yin Yang Hall, 'Dao Hun'."
"What does' Dao Hun 'mean?"
"Wan Lei is Yin Yang Hall's Hallmaster Dao Hun's most beloved disciple. This time, he was sent to Heaven Dao Pavilion as a messenger to observe the battle, but he died in the hands of Chi Guyan and Fang Zhengzhi. How could Dao Hun let this matter rest?"
"Great Elder, do you mean that Yin Yang Hall is willing to ally with us?"
"Not ally. They've already acted. Dao Hun has already sent two Sage State disciples to Heaven Dao Pavilion. If I'm not wrong, the people from Yin Yang Hall and our people should be at the foot of Heaven Dao Pavilion's Sword Peak now!" Great Elder nodded his head lightly.
"Our people are there too?" When the other elders heard this, they were all obviously a little surprised.
"Yes, it's the three Sages of Black Moon Island. They've redeemed themselves this time! I think that with the three of them working together with the two Yin Yang Hall disciples, five Sages should be able to deal with Fang Zhengzhi, who hasn't even entered the Sage State. Furthermore, they're using a sneak attack. This should be a foolproof plan! "Great Elder nodded his head once again.
"Great Elder, you've arranged it well. It's the most appropriate way to let the three Sages of Black Moon Island handle this matter. If there's really a problem in the future and Chi Guyan comes to us, we can say that the three Sages of Black Moon Island acted on their own and wanted to redeem themselves. This has nothing to do with Nine Pinnacles Mountain!" When the other elders heard this, they understood.
…
At the foot of Heaven Dao Pavilion's Sword Peak, five wooden houses stood side by side. It looked like a snow-white paradise in the middle of a green mountain.
The door opened.
Yan Xiu, who was dressed in a luxurious black robe, slowly walked out of one of the wooden houses. He raised his head and looked at the towering cliff above him, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"Today is the day to enter the Divine Rain Pond. I wonder which Heaven he and Chi Guyan are at now?" Yan Xiu muttered softly. Then, he walked towards the forest outside the house as usual.
