Right after Zhang Yan and the rest stepped into the hall, the bell in the hall rang nine times in a row. After a while, the hall door behind them was slammed shut.
Tan Dingxian's heart skipped a beat when he heard it. He calmed himself down and returned the greeting, "Zhenren Zhang, you're too kind." He then bowed to Shen Baishuang and the rest, "I didn't expect the four of you to be here today. I didn't know earlier and didn't come out to greet you. Please forgive me for my negligence."
At the same time, the Zhenren from the various sects returned the greeting.
The five Dongtian sat together, it was an intimidating sight. Moreover, they were all from the same sect. Everyone in the hall, except for a few people, felt a heavy pressure pressing down on them.
The five of them in front of Qincang School were enough to wipe out the entire sect. If all thirteen Dongtian worked together, what would it be like?
Zhenren Yuling pondered, "Shen Baishuang is Zhenren Zhuo's only disciple, Sun Zhiyan's Qihai Jiutian Dharma is well-known, Han Zaiyang is from an aristocratic family, Peng Wenyin is from an aristocratic family, but she is close to Sect Leader Qin. Qincang School should be telling the world that there is no more internal trouble. If there is an external enemy, we can work together to fight against them."
Tan Dingxian wanted to suppress Qincang School with his strength, but facing the five Dongtian Zhenren, it was inevitable that he would lose his momentum. He watched as Zhang Yan and the rest took their seats. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Since everyone is here, let's get down to business."
He paused for a while and waited for everyone to look at him, then he said, "Ever since the ancestors came to the east and subdued the demons, the land of the four continents has been filled with Qi and Dao. It has been more than ten thousand years. But today, the spiritual opportunity is fading, and the Qi is insufficient. The reason for this is that we have taken too much advantage of it. Fortunately, the ancestors were able to identify this opportunity. Since then, the gathering of the Golden Book is still in order. Today, I have invited everyone here to continue the discussion. "
His voice trailed off. About ten breaths later, Zhenren Shi said from his seat, "Leader Tan, the golden book has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. Everyone here knows the details, so there's no need to elaborate further. However, I do have a doubt."
Tan Dingxian said, "Please speak, Zhenren Shi."
Zhenren Shi said, "After the agreement is made, for the next one thousand years, each sect must ensure the number of heavens in their sect. It's good that we don't have to add one more disciple, but Tan Zhangmen also said that we are in dire straits. Even if we sign the Golden Letter, can we really stop this trend? "
Huang Yu Gong also said, "Zhenren Shi's doubts are also my doubts. I hope that Sect Leader Tan can resolve our doubts."
Tan Dingxian stroked his beard in silence, but Bu Jingsu stood up. He said, "Fellow daoists, my Bu Tian Pavilion's name is' Bu Tian '. Since I have been entrusted by Senior with the task of guarding the spiritual opportunity, I have not slacked for even a single day. Naturally, I will not rush over. To solve the current situation, I must have a plan. "
Zhenren Shi said, "Why don't you tell me?"
Bu Jingsu raised his voice a few notches. He said, "Ever since the founding masters of the various sects settled down in Dong Hua, the younger generation of disciples have always harbored a cold heart. All of them are in fear and trepidation, afraid that the changes of the past will happen again. However, those who are not under the control of either Xuanling or Xuanling family are able to enjoy the spiritual opportunity without fear. What is the logic behind this? "
As soon as he said this, many people's expressions changed, but at the same time, they nodded their heads.
Bu Jingsu continued, "Therefore, I would like to make an agreement with everyone here. After the agreement is signed, those who do not abide by the agreement will be killed!"
Zhenren Wu said playfully, "Is Zhenren Bu talking about the demonic cultivators of the North Underworld?"
In the Dong Hua Continent, the only ones who were not under the control of either Xuanling or Xuanling were the eight divisions of the Demon Court that were entrenched in the North Underworld. However, at this moment, there were only the Bat and Ape Divisions left. As for the Carp and Python Divisions, they had already moved to the sea.
Zhang Yan's eyes flashed slightly. Looking at these words, it seemed like Bu Tian Pavilion wanted to encourage everyone to attack the demonic cultivators of the North Underworld. If this was really the case, it would be a good thing for the Qincang School.
That year, when the Twelve Heavens went on a northern expedition, they did not completely end the eight divisions. One reason was that the founding master of the North Underworld left behind the demons to train the younger generation of disciples, so it was not good to be ruthless. The other reason was that at the last moment, Yuxiao found an excuse to take back the spiritual cliff, so they could not solve the problem in one go.
It was obvious that this was something that the Yuxiao school had purposely left behind to restrain the Qincang. Since this was the case, they would not let them off easily this time. There must be another reason behind this.
Sure enough, Bu Jingsu shook his head and said, "That's not the case. In these thousands of years, the demonic cultivators of the North Underworld have long given up on their power and turned into Qi. As a cultivator, it is not good to see them as beasts. Moreover, the North Underworld Continent is a place that Daoist Qincang has pointed out, so it is not good to start a war. Apart from that, there is another reason."
He opened his hand and a golden hair flew out. It was a ray of light that turned into a shadow. His body was withered and his face was blurry. After he appeared, he bowed to everyone and said, "I am the Qi Practitioner of the North Underworld, Li Fu. I pay my respects to all of you, Spiritual Masters."
Bu Jingsu pointed and said, "This is the leader of the North Underworld Ape Tribe. He heard about the matter of my golden contract and is willing to make a pact with me."
Spiritual Master Wu said sarcastically, "How can those demons sit with us?"
Li Fu laughed and said, "Spiritual Master, you are wrong. If that spiritual opportunity is compared to a big boat, then we would have been passengers on the same boat."
Spiritual Master Wu snorted and a look of disgust appeared on her face.
However, she was well aware that Bu Tian Pavilion did not have the ability to summon the demon cultivators of the North Underworld to sign the contract. There must be someone behind this. Arguing with him would obviously lower their own status. After saying that, she no longer paid attention to him.
The others had the same thoughts as her. For a moment, no one objected.
Zhang Yan looked on coldly and did not say a word.
It was not difficult to see that this was done by Yuxiao school to prevent Qincang school from taking advantage of the situation during the meeting. They used the excuse of killing the demon cultivators of the North Underworld who were guarding the spiritual opportunity as a preemptive step to block this road.
Tan Dingxian was prepared to argue. However, after waiting for a while, there was no movement from Qincang. It was as if they had acquiesced. It was completely different from what she had expected. She could not help but feel a little uneasy.
However, at this moment, there was no time for her to think about anything else. She had to bite the bullet and do it.
Huang Yugong looked at the seats and said, "Since Spiritual Master Li and the others are willing to sign the contract, then where are the unrighteous people that your school mentioned?"
Bu Jingsu bowed and said, "Outside of the East Sea, there are Chongyue and Qingyu families. Both of them have Heavenly Grottoes. Chongyue has been guarding the temple for a long time and has been at odds with Xuanmen for a long time. He is arrogant and arrogant. In order to mend the mysteries of heaven, we might as well get rid of him."
Huang Yugong nodded and said, "That's right. I also thought about it. That Qingyu Tao Zhenhong was a disgrace to Nanhua. He actually set up another school on the sea. He is arrogant and disrespectful to his elders. If we can get rid of him, we can get rid of a scourge in the world. "
Spiritual Master Shi continued, "I heard that there are two Heavenly Grottoes in the Dongsheng Continent beyond the ocean. I don't know what their background is, but they are suspected to be evil. They can be killed because of the righteous energy in the universe. "
Tan Dingxian nodded and said, "If we get rid of these four people, the spiritual opportunity in the world can be stabilized."
Everyone present was perceptive. It was not difficult to understand the underlying meaning. It was obvious that he was implying that Qincang school did not care about the big picture and had four Heavenly Grottoes in their school. This caused the spiritual opportunity in this world to be in a predicament.
Zhenren Yuling said in a deep voice, "We have been out for a long time. Since Leader Tan has already decided on a plan, if there are no objections, how about we seal the agreement now?"
Tan Dingxian nodded and said, "I dare not delay the fellow Daoists from all sects."
He waved his hand and a Xuan Roll appeared in the hall. Then, seventeen rays of spiritual light from top to bottom went into the seats of each sect.
Li Fu immediately picked up the brush and signed his name without hesitation. Then, the ray of light returned to the Xuan Roll.
The various Xuanmo sects. Taihao and Nanhua only took a few glances before they put down their brushes with their seals.
Ping Du Sect's Wu Zhenren cast a glance at the Yue Cang Sect's seats, as if he wanted to ask for some hint, but he still did not receive any response. Seeing the spiritual lights flying back to the Golden List in the hall, he shook his head. He also wrote his name.
When Zhenren Pang came out, she had already decided to stand with Qincang school. Hence, the latter did not move and she did not move as well. Both of them turned a blind eye to the spiritual light.
Soon. The names of various sects appeared on the Golden Roll. Only Qincang and Huanzhen did not fall on it.
Tan Dingxian opened his eyes slightly and looked at the situation in the hall. Almost all the cultivators in the world were on his side. Even the Shaoqing sect seemed to have compromised. Although Huanzhen Temple did not agree, it was just a small flaw. If Qincang school did not sign the contract, it would be disregarding justice and going against the trend. It would become the enemy of all sects in the world!
However, he did not believe that Qincang school was not afraid of this and dared to go against it.
At this moment, all the gazes in the hall were focused on Qincang school.
Zhang Yan looked calm. He swept his gaze over and the spiritual light unfolded and turned into a piece of paper. From top to bottom, the first row of names was left by the second generation head of Qincang school, followed by the third generation head of Qincang school. After the fourth generation head of Qincang school, for thousands of years, the people who signed the contract were all Hall Master of Daylight Hall and Duzhen Hall Master.
He looked deeply at it and read it line by line. Suddenly, he smiled faintly and stood up. He pressed his hand gently on it.
Boom!
In that instant, the entire contract agreement shattered into fragments that filled the sky!
There was dead silence in the Piji Hall!
Tan Dingxian's eyes widened and his voice trembled. He looked at him angrily and said, "Zhenren Zhang, what, what are you doing?"
He could not believe that Zhang Yan would break the contract on the spot. Not only that, he even erased the contract that Qincang school had made for thousands of years.
How dare he do this?
Was he going to fall out with the world and become the enemy?
Zhang Yan looked at him and said, "The world can change, the heaven and earth can change, the sun and the moon can be replaced. What is the use of this!"
He looked around and his gaze was like a cold sword. He said, "Does anyone have any doubts?"
As he spoke, Shen, Sun, Han, and Peng all stood up slowly.
Tan Dingxian looked up anxiously as if he wanted to seek help.
Everyone avoided his gaze. What made him even more terrified was that when he reached the seat of Yuxiao school, Zhou Yong also sat there without saying a word.
Zhang Yan saw that no one responded. He flicked his sleeve and walked out. Shen Baishuang and the others did not stay for a moment and followed him out.
A gleam of light appeared in Qing Chenzi's eyes. At this moment, he also stood up and pointed with his finger. Suddenly, a sword light flew up and in a flash, the Shaoqing Sect's spell altar was split into two. He said coldly, "Since there are blades and swords, why bother with words?"
When he finished, he walked out without turning his head back.
Bu Jingsu looked back and saw Tan Dingxian sitting there. Although his expression did not change, he understood his Senior Brother very well. However, he understood this Senior Brother of his extremely well. His Senior Brother was obviously panic-stricken and lost his composure, and he was only temporarily severing his mortal heart and forcefully calming himself down.
He could not help but sigh to himself. Reality proved that if one had great power, they could disregard the rules. The so-called contract agreement was just a piece of waste paper in front of them.
Just like when Yuxiao released the Sky Demon after the Heavenly Palace's meeting. The sects could only criticize him in secret, but no one dared to step out to criticize him.
But once they did so, they would lose their reputation.
However, this made him tremble in fear. Qincang School's actions showed that they did not care about how their fellow Daoists viewed them.
If such a large sect did not care about the so-called rules and righteousness …
Just as this thought arose, he did not dare to think further.
Hearing the rumbling of thunder outside the hall, he sighed.
"The world … is going to change."
At this moment, outside, Zhang Yan and the other four were riding a boat back to Qincang. Han Zaiyang said, "The sects should be aware of our actions this time. We, Qincang, intend to fight."
Shen Baishuang said coldly, "Stay if you are willing, leave if you are not. These are the words of the sect leader."
Zhang Yan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sea of clouds floating and sinking. He turned back and said, "I am the one who controls the universe, how can it be up to others? Everyone, when you return, prepare for battle with all your might. "
The four of them bowed and said in unison, "We will follow Zhenren's orders."
