While Wang Lin and the others were still in the Southern Wasteland, in the southern region of Kunlun Mountain, on Beyond Heaven Mountain, all other places were quiet and peaceful. Only the main hall at the top of the mountain had a strange atmosphere.
A huge spell formation was suddenly activated and covered the main hall, making it impossible to enter or leave the main hall.
In the main hall in front of the main hall, a group of Beyond Heaven Mountain disciples had gathered and were listening to the elder preaching. However, the elder who was preaching seemed to be in a daze.
Meanwhile, in the rear hall that was connected to the main hall, a long and intense battle was currently taking place. The main hall and the rear hall were also separated by a formation, preventing any sound from leaking out and alerting the people in the main hall.
Within the rear hall, the formation was activated, and it transformed into an expanse of Blackhole Void. The forces of both sides were already fighting fiercely within the void, and they were locked in battle.
One of them was about forty or fifty years old. He had three strands of black beard and a square, serious face. He was the sect master of Beyond Heaven Mountain, Wu Yun Liang.
Another middle-aged man was fighting with him. He was Li Baitao, the second in Wu Yun Liang's generation. His expression was solemn, but there was a trace of determination in it.
Besides Wu Yun Liang and Li Baitao, there were two other elders who were also fighting. These two elders were both in the late Yuanying stage. They were the only two remaining elders of the previous generation of Beyond Heaven Mountain. Normally, they would seize the time to cultivate in seclusion, hoping to reach the Primordial Soul stage in their lifetime.
These two elders had long stopped caring about the matters of the sect. This time, not only did they come out of seclusion together, but they also started a fierce battle.
Besides them, the other higher-ups of Beyond Heaven Mountain were also gathered here. Everyone was standing in a circle with their opponents.
The atmosphere in the main hall was extremely oppressive. After fighting for a long time, Wu Yun Liang forced Li Baitao to retreat with his sword. He asked in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Li, do you really want to rebel against Beyond Heaven Mountain?"
Li Baitao's expression was calm and his gaze was firm. "It's not that I want to rebel against Beyond Heaven Mountain. It's just that Senior Brother Sect Leader is hesitant and hesitant. It will definitely bring disaster to Beyond Heaven Mountain!"
"Many years ago, in order to deal with the pressure brought by the Great Qin Dynasty, our Beyond Heaven Mountain had already drawn closer to Shu Mountain. All along, we have been vassals of Shu Mountain. Back then, we pretended to betray Shu Mountain and join Xuanmen Tianzong, but it was also under the orders of Shu Mountain. At that time, Sect Leader Senior Brother, you had also made up your mind.
Wu Yun Liang waved his hand and his people retreated. They formed a formation and supported each other. He stared at Li Baitao and said, "What you did today was indeed instigated by the Shushan Sword Sect. What do you guys want to do?"
Li Baitao also did not continue to press forward. He and his men stood in position, facing Wu Yun Liang and the others.
"Nothing much. A few days ago, there was a sudden change in Xuanmen Tianzong. Yujing Mountain, which has always been hidden in the void, suddenly appeared in the Vast Thousand Domains. A powerful expert from the Shushan Sword Sect was watching from afar. He felt that the spiritual energy of the Fairy Mountain was different from before. The master of the Xuanmen Sect did not seem to be on the mountain."
"Therefore, the Mount Shu Sword Sect wants to test the waters of the Celestial Sect of Wonders and see what the situation is."
Wu Yun Liang stared at him and asked, "What did you do?"
Slowly, Li Baitao said, "Nothing much. When I surrounded you guys here, I also sent a message to Xuanmen Tianzong. I said that there is a rebellion in Beyond Heaven Mountain. We can't quell it, so we asked Xuanmen Tianzong for help."
As the instigator of the rebellion, Li Baitao naturally was not crazy. While blocking the communication between Wu Yun Liang and the others, he also sent a message to Xuanmen Tianzong.
"You guys want to surround us and ambush the Xuanmen Tianzong disciples?" Wu Yun Liang immediately understood. "Your people are all here. So, the people from Shushan have already arrived?"
Li Baitao sighed and did not speak. In fact, how could he not be afraid? At the moment, the Xuanmen Tianzong they were plotting against was too huge compared to Beyond Heaven Mountain. A single hair of the Xuanmen Tianzong was thicker than their waists.
During the trip to the Yinghai Sea, they had obtained the Yingzhou Immortal Mountain alone, as well as a creation Dharma treasure embryo. They had even obtained the Great Zhou Dynasty's Fangzhang Immortal Mountain. At this moment, the Mystic Gate Heavenly Sect was even more powerful than before.
If not for the sudden change in Xuanmen Tianzong, even Li Baitao, who was the most firm supporter of Shushan Sect in Beyond Heaven Mountain, would not dare to act rashly. At the same time, if Xuanmen Tianzong had not changed, Shushan Sword Sect would not have tried to test them.
Even now, Beyond Heaven Mountain did not have much courage to provoke Xuanmen Tianzong. However, they could not afford to offend the Shushan Sword Sect on the other side, and they had already come to their door. If they and the others went back on their word and really wanted to side with Xuanmen Tianzong, the entire Beyond Heaven Mountain would immediately be destroyed.
The plan they were carrying out at the moment was to use this internal rebellion to ask for help from Xuanmen Tianzong. Then, with the help of the hidden cultivators of Shushan Sword Sect, they would detain Xuanmen Tianzong's people to test Xuanmen Tianzong's reaction.
Li Baitao looked at the silent crowd and said Slowly, "Whether it's Xuanmen Tianzong or Shushan Sword Sect, we can't resist them. If it's possible, I don't want the patriarch's foundation to be involved in such a huge whirlpool and be in danger of overturning at any time."
"However, under the instruction of Shushan, we deliberately turned away from Shushan and turned to rely on Xuanmen Tianzong. Although our Beyond Heaven Mountain and Shushan are not inseparable from each other, if the conditions permit, we can also pretend to be courteous to Shushan."
"But this time, Shushan has really come to our door. If we don't agree, we will immediately be destroyed. Even if Xuanmen Tianzong retaliates against Shushan later, they can only get back their own face. Our Beyond Heaven Mountain can't recover."
"This time, the whole Divine Land is staring at Xuanmen Tianzong, who has suddenly moved. Shushan is also determined to take action. The situation is no longer up to us to continue to waver. We must make a thorough choice."
He looked at Wu Yunliang and said in a deep voice, "Senior Brother Sect Leader, we have already made the decision that year. After so many years of preparation, we can't waver in the face of battle."
"Over the years, I can faintly feel that you are wavering. So today, I have to offend you."
Someone from Wu Yunliang's faction said in a deep voice, "Whether Xuanmen Tianzong will change or not is still unknown."
"Now, Shushan Sword Sect is like the sun in the west mountain, and Xuanmen Tianzong is like the sun in the sky. We are still hanging on the tree of Shushan Sword Sect. Isn't it a little unwise …"
Li Baitao shook his head, "The rise of Xuanmen Tianzong is special. At first, Taixu Temple wanted to support it as a new chess piece to replace Big Leiyin Temple to balance Shushan Sword Sect. So, there was a chance for Xuanmen Tianzong to develop and grow. But in the end, Xuanmen Tianzong couldn't get rid of it. Instead, it joined forces with Great Qin Dynasty and Great Zhou Dynasty to fight against Taixu Temple."
"Now, Taixu Temple's attitude towards Xuanmen Tianzong has naturally changed. In the battle of Xiling City, although the master of Xuan Men Tianzong defeated Xin Longsheng, Shushan Sword Sect's potential is far from bottoming out. If there is an all-out war, I'm afraid that Shushan Sword Sect has a higher chance of winning."
"In addition to the Immortal Heaven Sword, Shushan Sword Sect also has two Grand Elders. Their cultivation is probably not inferior to the master of Xuan Men Tianzong. After the battle of Xiling City, Xin Longsheng cultivated in seclusion and also made a breakthrough. Because of the many experts cultivating in seclusion, Shushan Sword Sect has been much more low-key these years. But after hiding their strength and biding their time, there will be an even more terrifying outbreak."
The cultivator on the other side said in a deep voice, "Senior Brother Li, you just said that relying on Xuanmen Tianzong will not be able to bear the anger of Shushan Sword Sect. Even if Xuanmen Tianzong will go to all-out war with Shushan Sword Sect for the sake of its reputation, our Beyond Heaven Mountain is destroyed. The mountain can be rebuilt, but the dead can't come back to life."
"This principle is the same in reverse!"
Li Baitao said, "If this test can find out the truth about Xuanmen Tianzong and prove that the master of Xuan Men Tianzong is indeed missing, then I'm afraid it will not be Shushan alone dealing with Xuanmen Tianzong. Xuanmen Tianzong has been acting overbearingly all these years, so he will definitely be attacked by others."
"At that time, even if the master of Xuan Men Tianzong reappears and wants to take revenge, he will be surrounded by enemies and won't have time to find trouble with Beyond Heaven Mountain. With his current status, it is impossible for him to put down his status and come to us. He can only send his disciples. But after this disaster, I'm afraid there will not be many people left in Xuanmen Tianzong."
"In particular, if they lose Yujing Mountain, the Magic Treasure of Creation embryo, and the Xuantian Realm, even if Xuanmen Tianzong still has the Yingzhou Immortal Mountain in the Ying Sea, their vitality will be greatly damaged."
"On the other hand, his opponents will become much stronger because of this."
Slowly, the elder of the previous generation on Wu Yun Liang's side said, "In the past, didn't the Master of the Mysterious Gate establish Xuanmen Tianzong from nothing? How do you know he won't make a comeback one day? "
Li Baitao nodded at the old man. "Martial Uncle, please understand. Before, we had the support of Taixu Temple, but after the battle of West-Hill City, everyone in Taixu Temple must have seen clearly that the master of Xuanmen Tianzong has a big plan. This time, Xuanmen Tianzong has suffered a disaster. If they want to rise again, it will be much more difficult than before."
"Everyone's eyes will be fixed on him, and they will never give him a chance to make a comeback. After the Mount Shu Sword Sect and other forces have severely injured and suppressed Xuanmen Tianzong, their own strength will greatly increase. If they unite again, even if the master of Xuanmen Tianzong comes back to the world, it will only be difficult."
Li Baitao paused for a moment. "Just like what Junior Brother Qi said, people can't come back to life after they die, and mountains can be rebuilt after they are destroyed. If this time, if we really find out that Xuanmen Tianzong is empty, the forces will repeat what happened in the past and form the Exterminating Xuan Alliance, our Beyond Sky Mountain will naturally not participate. Instead, we will prepare in advance and move away from Beyond Sky Mountain."
"The Mount Shu Sword Sect has already agreed for us to temporarily live in Mount Shu. At that time, even if the master of Xuanmen Tianzong returns to the Mortal World, unless he destroys Mount Shu first, he will not be able to do anything to us."
"But at that time, he will first have to deal with the follow-up measures of the Exterminating Xuan Alliance."
At this point, Li Baitao's voice became slightly lower. "Of course, things in the world can't always go according to one's wishes. Since it is a test, it may succeed, but it may also fail."
"If, if the result of this test is that the master of Xuanmen Tianzong is safe, I'm afraid the Exterminating Xuan Alliance will not come to fruition. At that time, regardless of what happens to Mount Shu, our Beyond Sky Mountain will immediately suffer the wrath of Xuanmen Tianzong. If that is the case, everyone will treat it as if I have really rebelled, capture me, and hand me over to Xuanmen Tianzong."
Li Baitao looked up to the sky and sighed. "No matter what, Mount Shu is already right in front of us. This time, if we don't cooperate, our Beyond Sky Mountain will immediately be in danger of being destroyed."
"It is all a test of Xuanmen Tianzong. Either we detain the people of Xuanmen Tianzong, or Mount Shu will destroy our Beyond Sky Mountain, a force that is openly dependent on Xuanmen Tianzong. Everyone, we have no choice!"
Before his voice died away, Li Baitao suddenly received a sound transmission using supernatural power. "The people of Xuanmen Tianzong have arrived!"
