A shocking explosion shattered Mu Zixuan's dream of getting away with the crime.
The coffin exploded, revealing a transcendent celestial figure that towered above the mortal world, elegant and meaningful, unparalleled in the world. It was —
"Master?"
Zuo Feiying's almond-shaped eyes widened in shock. The person in front of her was her master, Wei Wushuang, whom she thought was dead.
"Dao Fan?"
"Sect Master Wei?"
The other people present were no less shocked than Zuo Feiying. They couldn't help but exclaim. Only Ji Fengming and Chu Bainiu seemed to have expected it.
"Fellow Daoists, it's been a long time." Amidst the astonishment of the crowd, Wei Wushuang floated down and greeted all the sects present. Although his face was pale, he already had his usual vigor. There was no longer any sign of him being infected by the Five Signs of Decay and his entire body was black and swollen.
Chu Bainiu retreated behind Wei Wushuang and said to Mu Zixuan, "You didn't expect this, did you? As the saying goes, purity comes from filth, and life comes from death. The way to cure the Five Signs of Decay is to let the Five Signs of Decay spread throughout the body. Then, with my help, you can fake your death for seven days before you can be reborn!"
When Chu Bainiu confronted Mu Zixuan, he was repeatedly forced to open his mouth. However, when it came to medical knowledge, he was confident and calm. His words instantly turned Mu Zixuan's words of shifting the blame to Chu Bainiu in order to get away with the crime instantly into a joke.
The situation was immediately reversed. Ji Fengming took a step forward and formed a triangle with Wei Wushuang and Yue Cangqiong, trapping Mu Zixuan in the center. They were full of energy and were ready to attack. "From the beginning, today's ceremony was set up for you. Now that things have come to this, what else do you have to say?"
Surrounded by three top-notch experts, Mu Zixuan fell into an unprecedented crisis. Mu Zixuan, who was on the verge of despair, laughed out loud, "Hahaha, I didn't expect that you, master and disciple, would actually go to such an extent to frame me. Why should I say more? I only hate that this is the result of all my help. There's no need to stay in Qingcheng Mountain anymore. Members of Righteous Sky Alliance, listen to my order, leave with me! "
Mu Zixuan knew that the other party had been plotting this for a long time, and the evidence was conclusive. Moreover, everyone's trust in him was at an all-time low, so no amount of feeble excuses would be of any use. Mu Zixuan could only think of a way to escape first before thinking of anything else.
But when the order was given, the members of the Righteous Sky Alliance looked at each other in dismay. None of them obeyed. After all, they had first framed Jian Huang, then Chu Bainiu. Now that Mu Zixuan's plot had been exposed, they wanted to forcefully explain that all of this was the work of Wei Wushuang and his disciple.
Just as people's hearts were wavering, they heard Wei Wushuang say to the crowd, "Everyone, although faking my death was not my intention, I still beg for everyone's forgiveness. However, although I did not die today, I don't know how many people have died under the collusion of Mu Zixuan and the Six Path Evil Destroyer. Please don't be deceived and don't let go of the culprit easily!"
With Wei Wushuang's reputation, the moment he spoke, the sects immediately burst into an uproar.
"Hmph, I already felt that there was something fishy about the destruction of Formless Temple. Now it seems that he was the one behind it. What alliance leader, bah!"
"That's right, because my Golden Spear Peak Tower contradicted him, not long after, the defensive line we were guarding was attacked by the Six Path Evil Destroyer. This was indeed not a coincidence!"
"I was just wondering, with this Young Master's natural talent, how could I still be stuck at the third level of the Sunset Divine Art after three years? So it turns out that he was jealous of this Young Master's natural talent and secretly set me up.
All the sects were talking at once, fighting to be the first to list out Mu Zixuan's nonsensical crimes, and they were filled with righteous indignation. It was as if everyone had already foreseen Mu Zixuan's plot, but because they were alone and weak, they had endured it until now.
Defeating Armies, who was outside of the crowd, saw the uproar and knew that his master was in danger. He immediately shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about! Not listening to orders, do you want to offend your superiors? "
However, the sects were no longer afraid of him. Instead, they all looked at Si Tiantai's people with fiery gazes and said fiercely, "The establishment of the Righteous Sky Alliance was proposed by Si Tiantai. You Si Tiantai can't escape from the responsibility of Mu Zixuan's crimes!"
"That's right, you are all jackals of the same tribe!"
"Kill Mu Zixuan, kill them, and be buried with the allies who died because of them!"
The number of people from the sects added up was more than ten times that of Si Tiantai. Seeing that the alliance that he had fooled for many years was about to turn against him, Defeating Armies had the courage to fight to the death. As he drew out his saber, he said to Tanlang, "Tanlang, follow me to kill a way out and protect the alliance master!"
At this moment, Defeating Armies suddenly felt his whole body go numb. He turned around and saw that his comrade Tanlang had restrained him from behind!
"Why …?" Defeating Armies, who had been betrayed, used the last of his strength to ask.
Tanlang didn't answer, but he knew why.
Because at that moment, he suddenly recalled the chess record from yesterday. The content of it was surprisingly similar to the current situation.
Trapped in a tight encirclement, the defeat was inevitable. If he didn't want to lose everything and be killed to the last man, he could only give up and seek survival!
Tanlang made a prompt decision. Ignoring Defeating Armies's surprised and angry eyes, he faced the sects and said coldly, "Even if Mu Zixuan is guilty, it's his own business. Si Tiantai was set up by the Emperor of Tang, and Mu Zixuan is only one of them. You link the crime of one person to him and threaten to kill Si Tiantai. Are you trying to rebel?"
As soon as he said this, he blamed all the crimes on Mu Zixuan.
But it was like a bucket of cold water was poured on them, and the angry sects instantly calmed down. It should be known that the most powerful force in the world was not the Demon World of the Northern Region, nor the Evil Destroyer of the Six Realms, but the Tang Dynasty, which had millions of soldiers.
Although the Tang Dynasty's intention to meddle in the Heavenly Path was known to all, and the sects had always been against it, no one had made it clear. If Si Tiantai still protected Mu Zixuan at this time, it meant that he had the support of the imperial court, and the imperial court was in the wrong first. In that case, the sects would not be afraid of falling out with the imperial court, and they could take the opportunity to kill Si Tiantai's people and remove the spy planted by the imperial court in the Heavenly Path. For the sake of the overall situation, the imperial court would probably have to swallow this loss.
But Tanlang didn't protect Mu Zixuan. Instead, he represented Si Tiantai to draw a clear line with him. At this time, even if the sects knew that what Mu Zixuan did had something to do with Si Tiantai, they could only target Mu Zixuan without solid evidence. Otherwise, the sects would be accused of rebellion, and the imperial court would have a good reason to attack.
The imperial court and the cultivation sects had always been in a state of balance, knowing each other's bottom line.
Seeing that the sects were afraid and didn't dare to do anything to Si Tiantai, Tanlang said in a clear voice, "Mu Zixuan, you are suspected of colluding with the Six Dao of Evil to bring chaos to the world. Surrender now and follow me back to Chang 'an for trial!"
Just as he was about to lead the crowd forward, Shi Chuxin appeared and blocked the way of Si Tiantai. He said, "There is no need to trouble the imperial court for a trial when the evidence is conclusive. This is the Heavenly Path, and it has its rules. " Then, Shi Chuxin put his palms together and said to the sects, "Everyone, what are you waiting for? Let's send this evil culprit to Samsara."
"Now!" Just as the sects were about to take action, they heard Mu Zixuan sneer. As soon as her voice died away, there was another loud rumble from the direction of the Celestial Master Cave!
In an instant, chilly winds blew, and dark clouds covered the sun. Countless ferocious ghosts flew out of the Celestial Master Cave, and a group of ghosts flew into the sky on Mount Qingcheng!
The explosion caused the ground to shake, and when everyone lost their footing, Mu Zixuan took the lead. A majestic palm energy containing the vast power of the stars went straight for Wei Wushuang!
As the palm energy approached, Wei Wushuang didn't make any hand seals or chant any incantations. With a thought, a water vapor shield appeared in front of him, showing his superior cultivation of the One Elephant All Lives.
Although the shield was formed, Wei Wushuang's body swayed a few times imperceptibly. Then, he tapped his foot and retreated.
He retreated, and Mu Zixuan advanced.
The water vapor shield blocked the palm energy, but it also shattered. Meanwhile, Mu Zixuan was already close. She gathered the remaining power of the first palm and condensed it into dazzling starlight. Then, she launched a second palm, still targeting Wei Wushuang!
Mu Zixuan was sure that even if Wei Wushuang got rid of the Deva Decay Qi, he had been sealed for more than two years. How could his cultivation recover in just seven days?
Therefore, in the three-way siege, Wei Wushuang, who seemed to be the strongest, was actually the weakest link. If Mu Zixuan wanted to break out of the siege, she would have to attack him first.
Moreover, if she attacked Wei Wushuang first …
When Mu Zixuan attacked, he glanced at Yue Cangqiong from the corner of his eye. He saw that Yue Cangqiong did not move at all, as if he could not react in time to his attack.
"Oh no!" Ji Fengming also noticed that Wei Wushuang was far from fully recovered. She immediately suppressed the spell that she had activated halfway and moved in front of Wei Wushuang to protect him. At the same time, she raised her palm to meet the attack.
He, who was good at spells, was not as good as Mu Zixuan in terms of palm strength. Moreover, he had attacked in a hurry. His Qi and blood surged from the impact, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you break the seal of the Celestial Master Cave. You're really hopeless!"
"You're thinking about losing before thinking about winning. You're not the only one holding back!" As Mu Zixuan spoke, she urged her force again, like the waves of the Yangtze River.
Ji Fengming defended with his right palm while his left hand held the Cosmos Fan and drew a spell on his right arm. As the tip of the fan moved, his right arm was already expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was the spell "Giant Spirit Borrowing Force".
Using the Divine Power Shaking God Technique, Ji Fengming borrowed the strength of the giant spirit to increase the force of his palm. However, the moment the divine power was activated, Mu Zixuan's palm force suddenly missed and he was sent flying by Ji Fengming.
Although it looked like he was retreating, in reality, he was borrowing Ji Fengming's force. He was like an arrow released from a bow, crashing into the crowd at a speed that was three times faster than when he was sprinting.
Although there was no way to speak of this collision, it was the combined strength of Ji Fengming and Mu Zixuan. The people in the front row were like meat pads, being crushed into meat paste.
At this time, the group of ghosts had also flown over. The location of the mourning hall was originally chosen by Mu Zixuan. Naturally, he had deliberately chosen the place closest to the Celestial Master Cave, just in case.
Now, the trump card that he did not want to use had undoubtedly saved his life. The group of ghosts howled and rushed into the formation, causing chaos among the sects.
Mu Zixuan hit the ground with both palms again, borrowing the force of the impact to change his direction. He soared into the air, wanting to fly out of the encirclement.
However, although there was a group of ghosts to protect him, there were still many masters present. How could they let him come and go so easily? He saw the Buddha's light intertwining in the sky, and a giant Buddha's palm pressed down on his head. It was the joint attack of Shi Chuixu and the King Of Ming.
Mu Zixuan borrowed Ji Fengming's force, but he was already injured. He was in midair and had nowhere to borrow strength, so he was immediately pressed back to the ground by the giant Buddha's palm.
"Crack!" He was pressed to one knee, and his knee smashed a large pit on the ground. However, before he could vomit a mouthful of blood, he saw a bouquet of flowers in front of him.
It was fresh and magnificent, like the arrival of spring. The Youtan Pure Sect's Eldest Senior Sister, Xin Qinghui, held the flowers like a sword and stabbed straight at him.
He heard the sound of sharp wind behind him. The Confucian Faction's Altar Master, Luo Xiaoyi, had drawn his bow and placed an arrow in front of him. The bowstring sounded, and a row of arrows turned into unpredictable trajectories, shooting at the blind spots behind him from different angles.
He felt the air around him tighten, and several chains broke out from the ground, binding his hands and feet. Zuo Feiying of the Wanxiang Celestial Palace activated a spell, and the Qian Jin Heaven Lock restricted his movements.
The women of the Confucian Faction, Buddhism Faction, and Daoism acted at almost the same time, forming a pincer attack.
However, Mu Zixuan did not dodge!
He dragged the chains with his palms and put his palms together like an old monk paying respect to Buddha. "Pa!" There was a light slap, but there was an explosive airflow that spread out from his body. It was as if a star had been crushed by the slap of his hands. The raging wind swept out, and the people with lower cultivation were all sent flying by the airflow.
Under the explosion of the airflow, Xin Qinghui's feet became unstable, and she retreated to dodge.
The arrow missed its target, and was reflected back at Luo Xiaoyi.
The golden chains that trapped him were also dispersed, breaking inch by inch!
When he put his palms together, it was as if he was holding the clouds. This move was the Crape Myrtle's Seven Transformations — Nebula Blast!
The power of this move was so great. However, Mu Zixuan could not catch his breath after using such a strong move.
He did not have the slightest chance to catch his breath, and a formidable opponent came!
Ji Fengming opened her folding fan, and a thunder dragon came out from the fan, baring its fangs and claws. It drilled into Mu Zixuan's back, and sent him flying dozens of feet, and then came out from his chest.
Mu Zixuan felt all the meridians in his body were numb, and his internal organs were burning. The blood in his throat finally gushed out, but it was evaporated by the thunder the moment he opened his mouth.
There were so many masters at the scene, and each of them launched an uninterrupted attack. Mu Zixuan was alone, and it was difficult for him to defend himself.
The direction in which he was sent flying by the thunder dragon was also where Xin Qinghui was. Xin Qinghui's feet touched the ground, and she stopped retreating. Her phoenix eyes were filled with killing intent, and the flower branch in her hand shot out again, aiming for Mu Zixuan's throat.
To be more precise, she was waiting for the unstable Mu Zixuan's throat to hit the flower branch!
Just as the pure white flower bud on the flower branch was about to bloom with blood, there was suddenly a snake's hiss, and an eagle's cry!
A huge snake appeared out of nowhere, smashing a path through the chaotic crowd, and with an unstoppable momentum, it charged towards Xin Qinghui. Xin Qinghui did not have time to react, and was sent flying dozens of feet by the huge snake!
At the same time, the sky darkened again, and everyone looked up, only to see a huge pair of wings covering the sky!
