Seven days later, the whirlpool broke out. The seven-colored clouds in the sky suddenly disappeared, followed by a violent gust of wind. The wind came from the sea, shaking the mountains and rivers along the way. For five days and five nights, the sun and moon lost their light and the sky was shrouded by a haze.
On another day, it suddenly rained heavily, causing tsunamis and landslides. The torrents crashed into the Shenwu Mountain, and the rumbling of the flood shook the mountains.
Outside the mountain gate of the Deep Abyss Sect, the water had already reached the top of the mountain and was still climbing upwards. However, it was blocked by the Great Mountain Guarding Formation. Although the flood waves continued to wash over and over again, they were unable to invade.
However, the impact of the water on the formation was extremely loud, as if the formation would collapse at any moment. Many disciples who had never experienced such a scene paled at the sight.
Chu and Zhao stood on the altar on the side of the memorial archway of the mountain gate. In order to guard against the whirlpool calamity, another array flag was added here, which was personally guarded by the two of them. However, the whirlpool in front of them was far more powerful than they had imagined. Unless a cultivator had reached a certain level of cultivation, they could only choose to retreat far away in front of the power of heaven and earth.
Chu Muran looked at the disciples who were guarding the altars, then looked up again. He saw that the water had already reached the top of their heads, and the sky was no longer clear. Instead, it made Cang Zhu Peak look like a dragon palace. Chu Muran felt a little uneasy and said, "I didn't expect the water to be so powerful. I wonder if the mountain gate's formation will be able to withstand it."
Zhao Ge was calm and said, "The Mountain Guarding Formation was personally set up by Senior Brother Sect Leader. It should be fine."
At this moment, a voice came from behind, "Junior Brothers, don't worry. Looking at the current, it won't be difficult to defend for ten days to half a month."
The two of them quickly turned around and bowed, "Greetings, Senior Brother Sect Leader."
The cloud beneath Zhang Yan's feet dispersed as he descended from the sky. He stretched out his hand and made a gesture. He stretched out his hand and said, "Junior Brothers, you may rise."
Chu Muran straightened his back and said carefully, "Senior Martial Brother, I once went to the Immortal City to look up some ancient records. According to the records, the whirlpool tide is growing stronger by the day, and it will reach its peak seven days later. As long as we can hold on until that day, we will be safe from this disaster."
Zhang Yan laughed and shook his head. "Junior Brother is wrong. I don't think the flood will be as strong as today. "
Chu Muran was stunned. He thought for a while and suddenly raised his head, "Senior Martial Brother, is it because of the Python Tribe?"
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Indeed. My Shen Wu Mountain is already surging with great waves, the storm on the sea is several times more violent than here. The Beimo Ocean Boundary is now the nest of the Python Tribe, if we do not want to be destroyed, we must find a way to suppress the water. "
Chu and Zhao two people were now convinced by their Sect Leader Shixiong's judgment and were relieved.
Zhang Yan looked up at the edge of the sky. His eyes were deep as he thought to himself, "There is only one person in the Python tribe who has such power."
Half a day later, the wind and waves passed. Suddenly, thunder rumbled on the sea, startling all the cultivators in the Shen Wu Mountain. They looked into the distance and saw the edge of the sky. A shocking giant python surged out from the waves, with two horns on its head. Its abdomen had curled claws, and its body was covered in black armor. Its head was on the sky, and its tail was in the sea. Thousands of golden-patterned serpents followed closely behind. They were so bright that they could be seen from tens of thousands of miles away.
As soon as this serpent appeared, the fierce waves on the sea seemed to be pressed down by a pair of invisible giant hands, calming down the wind and waves.
Someone exclaimed, "Heavenly Abode Dharma Form?"
Daoist Dongtian rarely showed his face, so when this dharma appeared, everyone who saw it was deeply shocked by the scene.
On a mountain near the sea, a green-clothed cultivator saw this scene and was extremely excited. He pointed at his feet and said, "This small wind and waves, in the eyes of the ancestor, is just a speck of dust on a piece of paper. He can wipe it away with a gentle shake of his sleeve."
When he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and turned around. He cupped his hands and said to Shao Zhongxiang, who was standing beside him, "Fortunately, Sect Leader Shao told us about the whirlpool tribulation, so the tribe was not caught off guard."
Shao Zhongxiang always thought highly of himself and rarely put his peers in his eyes. At this moment, when he saw the dharma form of the Daoist Dongtian and felt the monstrous power, his usual arrogance was somewhat restrained. He returned the courtesy and said, "Not at all. Since we are working together with your tribe, we should treat you sincerely."
To fight against the Fengxiang Sword Sect alone, it was a pipe dream. After many tests, thirty years ago, he took the initiative to find the Python Sect. At that time, he reported the incident of the whirlpool calamity. Therefore, the Demon Sect was already prepared and was not caught off guard like the Zhongtai Sect thought.
Because the Python tribe came from another continent, they were the enemy of the five major sects and had always been excluded from Dongsheng continent. Shao Zhongxiang was the former Sect Leader disciple of Fengxiang sword school, and he was also a demon cultivator. If he could return to the mountain with their support, or even sit on the position of Sect Leader, he could open up a gap and gain a foothold in the continent. Therefore, the two sides hit it off.
The green-clothed cultivator glanced at the foot of the mountain and said, "Sect Leader Shao, the Shenwu Mountain is in chaos. It is an excellent opportunity to strike. You must seize it."
Shao Zhongxiang cupped his hands and said, "Please tell your tribe leader that I am ready to strike. In a few days, I will fight with that Taoist Zhang."
The Python tribe had instructed him to seize the position of Immortal City's Sect Leader. However, his previous swordsmanship had some flaws, so he could drag it out and did not really make a move. Later, because he saw that Zhang Yan was stronger than Yong Fu, he felt that he needed to slow down. Now that he had made up for the flaws in his swordsmanship, he did not have so many scruples.
Now that the green-clothed cultivator heard that he was finally willing to respond to the matter, he became spirited and asked anxiously, "Do you need any help?"
Shao Zhongxiang thought highly of himself and did not want to say that he could deal with it alone. However, after thinking for a while, he changed his mind and said, "Taoist Zhang has some cultivation. The Yuanying cultivator beside him is not weak either. If I want to fight with him, I need another person to help."
The green-clothed cultivator immediately replied, "This is not difficult. I will go back and report to the tribe leader. There will be news in a few days."
Shao Zhongxiang warned, "It must not be a demon cultivator."
Although he was a demon, his identity was special. If there was another person who was also a demon cultivator and took over the Immortal City, it would most likely attract the attention of the five sects in advance. It would be disadvantageous for their future plans.
The green-clothed cultivator said, "I know the severity of the matter."
As the two of them were talking, there was a sudden noise from the bottom of the mountain. Shao Zhongxiang immediately looked unhappy and said to a disciple beside him, "Go and see what's going on."
The disciple obeyed and left. After a while, he came back and said, "Master, a few disciples from Mount E sect came. They said that this mountain was built by them before, but we took it. They want us to quickly give up this land, or else our Longxiang sect will be in trouble."
In reality, the Mount E disciple was humble and polite. His words were also appropriate and did not say anything that would offend people. However, the disciple was afraid that the matter would not be blown out of proportion, so he purposely added oil and vinegar.
Shao Zhongxiang scoffed. If Mount E sect was still around, he would have given them some face. Now, however, he did not care about them at all. He waved his sleeve and said, "Go back and tell him to tell Bai Jiying that I have taken a liking to this place. Tell him to find another land."
Before the disciple left, the green-clothed cultivator gave him a look. The disciple nodded secretly. After a while, he turned back and said, "Master, it's done."
Shao Zhongxiang faintly smelled the scent of blood. He suddenly looked back at the disciple and frowned, "Luo Guang, you killed someone?"
The disciple looked innocent and said, "Master, that Mount E disciple did not know how to appreciate kindness. He refused to leave no matter what and even insulted master. I was really angry and wanted to teach him a lesson. I did not expect master's swordcraft to be so powerful. That person could not even block a single blow. That was why I mistakenly killed him. Master, please understand, this was not my intention."
Shao Zhongxiang stared at him for a while and then glanced at the green-clothed cultivator. He scoffed and said, "Kill him if you want. Keep the body. If someone from Mount E sect comes, just hand it over to them."
When he accepted disciples, he only looked at their aptitude and never their character. As a result, there was a mixture of good and bad disciples. This disciple was even more special. He was a relative of the Luo family. Not to mention killing an Mount E disciple, even if he had killed Bai Jiying, he would still think of a way to protect him.
When the Mount E disciple was killed, someone immediately went to inform Bai Jiying. When an Elder heard this, he was furious and said, "Sect Leader, this matter cannot be let go like this."
Bai Jiying's expression was solemn. If this matter was not handled properly, it would cause a war between the two sects. After careful consideration, he felt that he should not be impulsive. Shao Zhongxiang's mana was far above his. Even if he went to find Shao Zhongxiang, he would not be able to gain any advantage. Instead, he would easily fall into a disadvantageous situation.
After pondering for a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Elder Mo, this matter still requires Master Zhang of Hanyuan sect to come forward and make a decision."
Elder Mo also knew that Mount E sect was not the same as before. He let out a long sigh and said, "Sect Leader Martial Nephew, although what you said is reasonable, have you ever thought that if your own sect disciple was killed by another sect for no reason, the sect leader would not seek justice and instead seek help from another sect? If it happens once or twice, it would be fine. But if this goes on for a long time, our sect will certainly lose its morale. Over time, it will be inevitable that we will become the vassal of Hanyuan sect."
Bai Jiying was shocked. He solemnly bowed to Elder Mo and said, "Thank you Martial Uncle for your advice. But I only hate that my cultivation is not good enough. I am not able to support the sect like my master. I am truly ashamed to face the Elders and disciples of the sect."
Elder Mo suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Sect Leader need not worry too much. You can set your mind at ease and go to that Shao Zhongxiang. There may not be any danger. Although Sect Leader Zhang did not come personally, he has sent that Zhenren here. He is currently on a mountain ridge not far away. Previously, our Mount E sect has put in so much effort for Hanyuan sect. It is impossible for him to watch as something happens to Sect Leader."
Bai Jiying was startled. He immediately understood. It turned out that Elder Mo's real intention was to lure Zhang Boyan to come forward and cause him to go against Longxiang sect. This way, he would not lose his prestige in the sect. He had a change of heart. He shook his head and said, "Although there is a possibility of this, it is inevitable that Hanyuan sect will hold a grudge against them. Why don't I send someone to inform them?"
Elder Mo nodded and said, "Sect Leader's consideration is still very thorough."
Bai Jiying immediately found someone and said, "Go to Zhenren's place and tell him that Longxiang sect has wantonly killed our sect's disciples. I want to seek justice." He then said, "Elder Mo, come with me. Let's see what Shao Zhongyong's intention is."
