As soon as Ye Shaonan made his move, the wind and clouds in Jianghu also surged.
Within the Eastern Qi's Shang River Ying Clan, in the deepest part of a loft, there was not a single window, and not a single ray of light could be seen within the loft.
However, at this moment, the door of the pavilion suddenly opened, and an incomparably dignified aura was released, as if a sleeping dragon had opened its eyes.
An old man wearing a robe embroidered with black dragons walked out. His silver hair was neatly combed, and he stood with his hands clasped behind his back. The domineering aura he exuded was even stronger than that of the current hero, the Northern Yan Xiang Long.
In front of him, a middle-aged man wearing the same clothes stood there. He also had a solemn expression and didn't have the slightest smile on his face. It was as if he was carved from the same mold as the ancestor.
"Ancestor, are you going to take action this time? Actually, my Shangshui Ying Clan shouldn't have gotten involved in this matter. "
The old man said indifferently, "San Shu, you have to remember, there is nothing in this world that should or should not, only whether you want to do it or not. Righteous and Demonic Dao? It's nothing more than a conflict of interests. It's all empty talk about getting rid of demons and defending the Dao. The Moon Worshipping Cult hasn't started to wreak havoc in Jianghu yet. "
"Then why did you make a move?"
The old man gazed at the sky with a sharp glint in his eyes. "Five hundred years ago, the Kunlun Devil Cult suppressed the world. The world only knew the name of Dugu Weiwei.
After that, Ning Xuanji appeared out of nowhere and the world only remembered his name as an immortal.
But who knew how many heroes and outstanding geniuses had arisen in those chaotic times?
It is a blessing not to be born in the same era as them, but it is also a pity. "
At this point, the old man paused and said, "San Shu, I am old."
Although the old man said that he was old, his figure was tall and straight, and his aura was strong. The sharpness in his eyes was even stronger than that of a young man. There was no sign of age at all.
"For the sake of Ying Clan, I've been trapped in the Black Tower for fifty years. I'm afraid that the people of Jiang Hu have already forgotten my name.
The next generation of the Ying family depends on you, but I don't want to die of old age in my bed.
Five hundred years ago, I didn't manage to catch up with the rising heroes and the turbulent times, but this time, I don't want to miss it.
Ye Shaonan of Moon Worshipping Cult was the number one demonic cultivator in the world after Dugu Weiwei!
If I don't meet such a person, wouldn't I have wasted my time in this world? "
With that, the old man's figure turned into a black light and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The middle-aged man shook his head gently as he watched the old man leave, but he didn't say anything.
Meanwhile, in the Real Martial Arts Sect of Eastern Qi.
In the True Force Hall, dozens of Taoist priests were sitting cross-legged. There were old Taoist priests, middle-aged Taoist priests, and a few young Taoist priests.
The hall was filled with incense, like mist, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy.
At the forefront, an old Taoist priest wearing a gray Tai Chi Taoist robe sighed and said, "The tree may desire peace, but the wind will not stop. Ye Shaonan brazenly sacrificed a demonic weapon outside. He's forcing us to take action."
Someone below advised, "Leader, in the past, when the Kunlun Devil Cult suppressed the world, it was our Martial Arts Sect's Patriarch Ning Xuanji who turned the tide.
Since the Patriarch disappeared, our Real Martial Arts Sect has been declining and has never recovered to its peak. Now that there's a problem, does our Real Martial Arts Sect have to sacrifice again?
Leader, that Ye Shaonan has already stepped into the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Realm. After mastering the Mend Heaven Heart Sutra, his strength is unfathomable. Even the Old Taoist Master and Subodhi Monastery's Divine Monk Rama were defeated by him.
I'm not boosting the morale of others and diminishing our own, but if something happens to you, our Real Martial Arts Sect will suffer another blow. "
This old Taoist priest was the current leader of the Real Martial Arts Sect, 'Sage Xuanchen' Lu Changliu.
Since Ning Xuanji's death, there hadn't been any outstanding figures in the Real Martial Arts Sect, including Lu Changliu. Although he was ranked sixth on the Fengyun List, he had fought his way to this position step by step. There was nothing legendary about his achievements in his life.
The only thing worth mentioning about him was that the other disciples of the Real Martial Arts Sect were accepted into the sect to cultivate when they were young. He was the only one who started practicing martial arts in his twenties.
Lu Changliu was just an ordinary scholar before he was in his twenties. However, he liked Taoism and was a devotee of the Real Martial Arts Sect. Because he was trapped by love, he entered the outer sect of the Real Martial Arts Sect in a rage and started practicing Taoism.
The outer sect of the Real Martial Arts Sect only practiced Taoism and didn't practice martial arts. They trained ordinary Taoist priests.
However, Lu Changliu's understanding of Taoist scriptures alarmed the big shots in the inner sect of the Real Martial Arts Sect. Therefore, they made an exception and promoted him to an inner sect disciple. They started teaching him martial arts.
However, Lu Changliu didn't amaze the world with a single brilliant feat. Instead, he walked step by step to his current position.
He wasn't on the Longhu List when he was young and he wasn't on the Fengyun List when he was middle-aged.
Lu Changliu only became the leader when he had entered the Real Fire Spiritual Refinement Realm. Moreover, the previous leader and the older generation of martial artists had died. At that time, he had already become an old Taoist priest.
His sixth position on the Fengyun List was not only because he had the strength of the Real Fire Spiritual Refinement Realm, but also because he was the leader of the Real Martial Arts Sect. Sitting on this position meant that he had the strength to stir up a storm in the martial world.
Most of the martial artists of the Real Martial Arts Sect present didn't want Lu Changliu to fight.
The Real Martial Arts Sect had already fought once. Now, the Real Martial Arts Sect didn't have the strongest martial artist on the Supreme List. Even if the sky collapsed, there would be someone stronger to support it. The Real Martial Arts Sect used to be the strongest five hundred years ago. However, it was no longer their turn now.
Lu Changliu sighed and said, "When the patriarch was still alive, he didn't know if he could defeat Dugu Weiwei. However, he still went.
Today, the Real Martial Arts Sect didn't have the confidence and retreated. The other sects also felt that they didn't have the confidence and retreated as well. After retreating, there's really no one left.
Even if the sky collapsed, there would be someone stronger to support it. However, if the taller people chose to lower their heads, it would be useless no matter how tall they were.
This time, the Real Martial Arts Sect must go. If we retreat, there will be loopholes in our hearts and we will lose face for the patriarch.
You don't have to persuade me anymore. No matter what, I have to go. I will take the horsetail whisk left by the patriarch. Don't worry, I haven't lived long enough. I won't die. "
Although the Celestial Master Mansion had replaced the Real Martial Arts Sect as the leader of the Dao sects, the Real Martial Arts Sect still had a lot of heritage.
The horsetail whisk that Lu Changliu mentioned was left behind by Ning Xuanji in the past. There was a martial dao imprint unique to Ning Xuanji on it.
This horsetail whisk wasn't a divine weapon. The weapon spirit in it had dissipated after Ning Xuanji disappeared.
However, as long as the martial dao imprint in it worked, its power would be stronger than a divine weapon.
Seeing that Lu Changliu had made up his mind, everyone present shook their heads and stopped trying to persuade him.
Lu Changliu was a gentle person. He wasn't too aggressive when dealing with the Real Martial Arts Sect's affairs. However, everyone present knew that once Lu Changliu made a decision, no one could stop him no matter how hard they tried to persuade him.
When Lu Changliu made his decision, the Swordking City in the extreme west, which was opposite the Real Martial Arts Sect, also made a decision.
However, unlike the Real Martial Arts Sect's reluctance, the Swordking City took the initiative to make a move.
At the moment, in the Swordking City's main hall, the three True Fire Spirit Refinement Stage powerhouses of the Swordking City were all present.
One of them was the Jiannan King, Dugu Li, who had fought in the Righteous Path and Devil Path battle on Floating Jade Mountain.
There was also a middle-aged man with an extraordinary aura. He was the City Lord of the Swordking City. He was ranked fourth on the Reputation List, Heavenly King Shen, the Heavenly Sword.
It was said that Heavenly King Shen's previous name was Shen Tian. After he became the City Lord of the Swordking City, people called him the Heavenly King Shen Tian. However, no one knew what he was called in the end. In the end, he was called Heavenly King Shen. However, it seemed more imposing this way, so Heavenly King Shen didn't mind. Instead, it became his name.
The last person was a middle-aged man in black with a cold expression. The strangest thing was that his eyes were pitch-black, and his body was emitting traces of death. He didn't look like a Righteous Path martial artist. Instead, he looked like a Diabolism martial artist.
This person wasn't famous in the Pugilistic World. However, more than 20 years ago, he was a famous Sword King City expert. He was the previous Hall Master of the Form Sword Hall. His name was Meng Yanghe.
Back then, Meng Yanghe was already ranked 30th on the Reputation List. It wasn't too high, but it was definitely not low either. He was also considered the most outstanding disciple of the Swordking City's generation. He was also the martial artist who had the highest chance of entering the True Fire Spirit Refinement Stage.
In the end, more than 20 years ago, Meng Yanghe suddenly disappeared without a trace. He passed the position of Hall Master to Bai Qian, who had just reached the Martial Dao Grandmaster realm and hadn't even stabilized his cultivation.
After not showing his face for more than 20 years, his name had long been removed from the Reputation List. Everyone suspected that something had happened to Meng Yanghe.
In reality, that was indeed the case.
More than 20 years ago, Meng Yanghe accidentally found a sword that was born in the Land of Extreme Yin. He wanted to refine it, but something went wrong. It caused him to be trapped in the boundless Yin Demonic Qi and unable to escape. Even with Heavenly King Shen and Dugu Li's help, he couldn't do it.
In these twenty plus years, Meng Yanghe had exhausted all of his strength to refine the Extreme Yin Sword, but his body had also been invaded by the Extreme Yin Demonic Qi, becoming neither human nor ghost. Although he had reached the True Fire Spirit-Refinement Realm, only he knew exactly how much he had paid for it.
Heavenly King Shen looked in the direction of West Chu and said in a low voice, "Ye Shaonan is so courageous and charismatic! He has set up such a large force and treats all the powerhouses of the Pugilistic World as nothing. How can the Swordking City be absent? "
Dugu Li frowned and said, "Ye Shaonan is very terrifying. You've seen the power of the Heaven and Earth Elemental Enlightenment realm. He's not that easy to deal with."
Heavenly King Shen said in a low voice, "Of course I know that a powerhouse of the Heaven and Earth Elemental Enlightenment realm is not easy to deal with. I also don't expect that we alone can defeat Ye Shaonan.
Yanghe, now that you've refined the sword of extreme Yin and stepped into the True Fire Spirit Refinement Stage, you can join forces with Martial Uncle Dugu and me. With the three of us driving the Human King Sword together, even if it's a powerhouse of the Heaven and Earth Elemental Enlightenment realm, we still have the power to fight!
It's about time that the head of the Five Major Sword Sects was decided! "
