After Guru Xuan Hong made up his mind, he attacked the Heavenly Lord of Jianzhi Heaven with all his might. Both of their cultivations were similar, and both of them were using the First Dharmakaya. If they were in other places, they would be evenly matched. However, the power of Mystic Water was extremely effective against people who were not from the Luo Mountain Monastery. After a short while, Guru Xuan Hong found an opportunity to cast the seal in the sky. With just a touch of Qi, the Heavenly Lord was expelled.
Initially, he planned to kill and expel everyone other than those from Green Jade Palace before looking for Elder Peng for a talk. However, Ao Shao, the Heavenly Lord of Ye Haitian, was a Four Tribulations of Enlightenment. Guru Xuan Hong knew that he would not be able to deal with Ao Shao in a short period of time. Hence, he could only ignore him for now.
In a flash, he appeared in front of Elder Peng. He glanced at Daoist Tongguang and Guo Juying, who were standing beside him, and snorted. He came forward and cupped his hands, saying, "Elder Peng, this matter has nothing to do with Green Jade Palace. Why are you interfering?"
Although Elder Peng was not a cultivator of Enlightenment, he did not think that this person could do anything to him with the Restrictive Formation of the Dharma Boat. Hence, he replied bluntly, "My Green Jade Palace has its reasons. There is no need to explain to your sect."
Seeing his unyielding attitude, Master Xuan Hong could not help but weigh his words. He lowered his stance and said sincerely, "Elder Peng, if you are willing to retreat, we can discuss any conditions. Even from now on, it is not impossible for our Xuan Hong Heavens to pursue the Good Deeds Law."
Elder Peng sneered. If Master Xuan Hong had been willing to do this before, he would have happily accepted it. But now, it was impossible. Putting aside the fact that he had promised Zhang Yan, just from the current situation, he only needed to put in a little more effort and he would be able to topple the entire Xuan Hong Heaven. Why should he let this person go?
He said, "Although you, Xuan Hongtian, have some power in the Yuhuan Heavens, but with so many Daoists here today, forgive me for being blunt, but you have no hope of turning the tables. Why don't you admit defeat earlier and return the mystic stones? Then I can try to persuade Daoist Zhang to leave some leeway."
Guru Xuan Hong looked straight at him and said, "Elder Peng, I, Xuan Hong Tian, do have the power to resist." He raised his hand and pointed outwards. "It seems like the clones of the four Heaven Masters who came with you have already been killed by me."
Elder Peng's Divine Will could no longer sense the four of them, so he knew that they were telling the truth. However, he was not too surprised. Although he had managed to invite the four Heaven Lords, they would not be able to gain much from this battle, so he could not expect them to contribute much. It was just a gesture of goodwill from the Green Jade Palace. Even if he killed all of them, another clone would descend later. Therefore, he was not anxious at all. He said, "So what? You and I both know that this little setback is nothing. "
Guru Xuan Hong said, "Although this is nothing, I still have the treasure passed down by my ancestor that I have not used yet. If you insist on forcing me to that step, I will just fight to the death." He looked around and said, "Although I may not be able to do anything to someone like Elder Peng, I may not be able to protect the people who came with me. I believe you do not wish for your disciples to be injured, right?"
Elder Peng's expression darkened. "Is Guru Xuan Hong threatening me?"
Guru Xuan Hong said, "I dare not. I am just stating the pros and cons for Elder Peng. If my Luo Mountain Monastery is defeated, there is no need for me to hold back. This is not what I want. I hope you can consider it carefully."
Elder Peng did not speak. He seemed to be thinking, but at the same time, he used his mind and entered into an unknown state to communicate with Zhang Yan.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, this person said that he has an item that was passed down by Grandmaster Tai Ming. It can threaten cultivators of my generation. Do you know what it is?"
Zhang Yan thought for a moment and replied, "I do not know, but if it is really passed down by the Grandmaster, I may have a way to deal with it."
Elder Peng's spirit rose. "What does Fellow Daoist want to do?"
Zhang Yan smiled. "Elder Peng will know in a moment. However, for the sake of everyone's safety, I will need Elder Peng to delay this person for a while."
Elder Peng readily agreed. "Fellow Daoist, please do as you wish. With me here, there will be no problems."
Zhang Yan withdrew his mind. Guru Xuan Hong said that he had the treasure passed down by the Grandmaster. This was very likely.
When he fought with this person, he had a faint feeling of danger, and the feeling was the strongest when he was trapped by the Mystic Water. However, when Guru Xuan Hong saw that he could still move freely, he did not attack again. Therefore, he concluded that no matter how powerful this item was, it must be trapped by the Mystic Water. Only Now could it unleash its power.
After all, Mount Luo Monastery was only responsible for guarding the Mystic Stone. It was not the main sect, so it could not possess a treasure like Qincang School that could destroy a realm like the Void Yuan Mystic Cave.
The Xuanshui could swallow all the people who entered the realm in one fell swoop. Its power was so great that it was not something that Luo Mountain Monastery could do on its own. There must be a mighty force behind it, and this should be the means of Tai Ming Patriarch.
If that was the case, he could perhaps stop this Weili force if he offered a sacrifice to the Grandmaster.
Other than that, there was another way, which was to attack Mount Luo Monastery with full force. As long as Guru Xuan Hong did not want the Mystic Stone to be lost, he could only rush back to help. With this breathing space, Elder Peng could make the necessary arrangements. It would not be so easy to plot against the people of Green Jade Palace next time.
After thinking about it, he decided to do both at the same time. He would offer his sacrifice to the Grandmaster while his clone would seize the opportunity to attack Mount Luo Monastery to find the Mystic Stone. Thinking up to this point, he urged the clone to increase its offensive power by a few notches.
With this, Priest Gong and the others felt the pressure increase. They quickly swallowed some precious medicine, but it was like trying to put out a burning cart of firewood with a cup of water. At this moment, their mana was drained like a flood. As soon as it was replenished, it was immediately used up again. The mountain gate formation that was barely holding up shook again.
Enlightened Master Bai saw that the situation was not good and said, "Enlightened Master Gong, why don't we ask the Sect Master to come back and help us?"
However, Priest Gong disagreed and said, "There are many people that the Sect Master has to deal with. It must be difficult for him. How can we distract him?"
Enlightened Master Bai said anxiously, "But if the mountain gate is broken, our lives are secondary. If the Mystic Stone is taken away, won't everything we do be useless?"
Priest Gong still insisted and said, "Is the Sect Master not aware of the importance of this matter? If the Sect Master thinks that the mountain gate is important, he will come back to help without us saying anything. But if he doesn't ask, then we must hold on no matter what, so that the Sect Master will not be distracted! "
What he said was very reasonable. Under his reassurance, the people of Mount Luo Monastery did not ask for help again. Instead, they fought with all their might to protect the formation.
However, the disparity in strength was not something that could be made up for with just a few words. Although Zhang Yan's doppelgangers could not be compared to the original, each of them was still in the third stage realm. This was equivalent to twelve almighty cultivators besieging the formation. Previously, because they had other considerations, they had held back a little, but now they were attacking with all their might. Everyone could only resist for ten breaths of time before they found that they could not hold on any longer.
Master Xuan Hong immediately noticed the change and was shocked. Because he did not wait for Elder Peng's reply, he left one of his clones and hurried back to help.
It was not that he did not know that Elder Peng did not give him a definite reply. Perhaps he was stalling for time, but he did not reject immediately. There was still a glimmer of hope. Moreover, the greatest deterrence was not in his hands. If he used it, then everything would be irreversible.
After a shift, he appeared in front of the mountain gate. He looked up and saw that the spiritual vigor of the formation had scattered and was on the verge of breaking. If he was one step late, it would be too late. He immediately took out his magic sword and slashed, fighting with Zhang Yan's clones.
At the place where Zhang Yan was, there was an altar. He took out the talisman given by Sect Master Qin and wore it on his body. He also placed the seat of the Great Underworld Patriarch that he had prepared beforehand on it. Then, he bowed. In a split second, the surrounding glazed jade pillars emitted a faint fluorescent light. He said seriously, "Qincang School's disciple, Zhang Yan, has something to report to the Patriarch. Today, Xuan Hong Tian Luo Mountain pretended to be righteous and reprimanded his fellow Daoists. Because of his own selfishness, he violated his oath and attempted to steal the divine item. This behavior of this generation can be said to be forsaken by the heavens and disgusted by the gods. This disciple is willing to replace the Patriarch to purge evil and return to the righteous path!"
Just as he spoke, his body trembled slightly. He felt that the consciousness that the Patriarch had guided him to this place was floating again. There was also a dense mist that surged out from the void and spread in all directions. Wherever it passed, the Mysterious Water actually dissipated, and the momentum was getting faster and faster.
When he finished his last sentence, the Mysterious Water seemed to have lost its support. With a rumble, it retreated like the tide and returned to the void.
The world was still clean, and the sky was clear.
At this moment, there was an object that fell from the sky and headed straight for the ceremonial altar.
Zhang Yan sensed it and with a wave of his sleeve, he caught it. He saw a drop of Mysterious Water flowing on the palm of his hand. It seemed to contain an unfathomable power. After thinking for a while, he clenched his fist and kept it into his Dharmakaya. At the same time, he commanded Black Tortoise to soar into the clouds and fly towards the direction of the Luo Mountain Temple.
When Master Xuan Hong saw that the Mysterious Water had disappeared, his expression changed drastically. The water was his biggest support. If it disappeared, the power of his killer move would be reduced by at least half. He could not care less about entangling with Zhang Yan's doppelganger. He drilled into the formation and entered the temple.
When he arrived in front of the Main Hall Master of the Tiantai, he stretched out his hand to stop the others from talking. He said in a deep voice, "The situation is critical. The enemy is strong, and there is Green Jade Palace behind them. The mountain gate will definitely not be able to be defended. I will guard here to buy some time. The rest of you will split up."
He turned his head and said, "Zhenren Gong, find someone to go to the Outer Sky Forbidden Formation and try to move him with emotion. See if you can ask Zhenren Kun to come forward and solve this matter."
Zhenren Gong bowed and said, "Yes, sir."
Master Xuan Hong looked at Zhenren Wan and said, "Zhenren Wan, bring a few people to the Divine Depository Cave. The prohibition there is more stable than the mountain gate formation. It should be able to hold for some time. Remember, no one is allowed to go in without my order. If there is no other choice, you can take the Mysterious Water and escape first."
Zhenren Wan knew that the master was not satisfied and wanted to use the Mysterious Water to make a fuss. However, as a cultivator of the Luo Mountain Temple, he had to obey the order. He sighed and bowed.
