The main altar of the Celestial Barrier Sect was filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. The training ground was filled with the sounds of people practicing and practicing. This was Sikong Ming's order. No matter how chaotic the Celestial Barrier City was, the Celestial Barrier Sect could not fall into chaos. This was the sect's rule.
…
"Boom!"
The steel door was suddenly smashed, and Yang Shang floated in.
Not far away, a few disciples of the Celestial Barrier Sect were indifferent. They just looked at Yangshang and the other gods of the Northern Divine Realm.
"Where is Sikong Ming?" Yangshang asked coldly.
A disciple stepped forward and said, "Marshal, the sect master is waiting for you. I will bring you there now."
"Oh?"
The Celestial Barrier Sect's calmness exceeded Yangshang's expectations. He smiled and said, "Then lead the way."
"Yes!"
After the disciple passed through a few pavilions, they arrived at the courtyard in the backyard where the Chinese roses were in full bloom and their fragrance filled their nostrils. Yang Shang had brought quite a number of people with him. Nearly two hundred Northern Divine Realm's God Race soldiers were standing in a row outside the courtyard. Sikong Ming was sitting on a stone bench under a peach tree as he sipped on a cup of tea.
"Marshal, since you are here, won't you have a sip?" Sikong Ming smiled faintly.
"Heh!"
Yangshang walked into the peach forest slowly and sat down in front of Sikong Ming. He smiled and said, "You are Sikong Ming?"
"That's me."
"Aren't you afraid?"
"What's there to be afraid of?"
Sikong Ming poured a cup of tea for Yangshang and said, "This is the flower tea from the southern mountain of the Celestial Barrier City. Marshal, try it."
"I don't have the time to drink tea here!"
Yangshang slammed his palm on the stone tea table. His face was filled with anger.
However, this palm shook the stone table with a "peng" sound, but it didn't shatter. Faint streams of air lingered around the stone table, surprising people, as if there was some kind of power protecting the stone table.
"Interesting …"
Yangshang raised his head to look at Sikong Ming and said with a smile, "Looks like Senior is indeed worthy of being called a senior expert … Yangshang seeks guidance, I wonder if Senior can grant me some guidance?"
"The Marshal's evil aura is too strong. It's easy to hurt yourself if you fight like this. Moreover, you've brought so many Godly State experts with you. It's obvious that you want to destroy the Tianji Sect. Am I right?"
"That's right. If you lose, I will indeed destroy the Tianji Sect."
"Then, please follow this old man."
Sikong Ming pointed at the thatched hut behind him and said, "That thatched hut is this old man's residence, and is also a good place to spar. Does the Marshal dare to follow this old man?"
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Yang Shang smiled faintly.
"Then come."
Sikong Ming patted his butt and sat up.
Dora frowned and said, "Marshal, this Sikong Ming is full of tricks. You mustn't fall for his tricks!"
"Shut up, I know what I'm doing!"
Yangshang glared fiercely at Dora, his eyes filled with killing intent. Dora felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and her entire body was still trembling. Only now did she know what kind of person Yangshang was. He was the possessor of power and authority, and could not be refuted.
His attitude on the bed last night was not like this.
…
Sikong Ming slowly pushed open the wooden door of the thatched hut and walked in first.
When Yangshang followed him in, he felt a gust of cold wind sweep past, and the wooden door behind him was closed. What he was standing on was not a wooden floor, but a four-dimensional space with layers of ripples. There was another world inside the thatched hut, and it was basically another domain space created by Sikong Ming. It could also be said that Yangshang had stepped into the space created by Sikong Ming.
"You … Who exactly are you!?" Yangshang was a little stunned.
Sikong Ming slowly stepped on the star flames and walked towards the higher part of the domain space. He smiled and said, "Marshal, do you know what this old man's principles are in the Celestial Pole Continent?"
"What?"
"Stand aloof from worldly affairs."
Sikong Ming turned around and smiled. He actually looked like a fairy with white hair and a youthful face. He gently raised his palm, and a Great Void Constellation condensed. He said, "The Celestial Pole Sect has the same attitude as this old man. For thousands of years, we have stood aloof from worldly affairs, and only cultivate and seek the Heavenly Dao."
"A bunch of nonsense!"
Yangshang roared angrily, and the Emperor Flame Saber in his hand surged with flames as he slashed at Sikong Ming. With a roar, several hundred meters of saber Qi swept across the sky, and as the saber Qi produced a pillar of fire that soared into the sky, it instantly engulfed Sikong Ming's body.
"Bang!"
Amidst the explosion, the saber seemed to have slashed into cotton. When Yangshang looked up again, he saw Sikong Ming standing leisurely in the Great Void, and the smile on his face became even wider.
"Who exactly are you!?"
Yangshang slowly lowered the Emperor Flame Saber. He no longer planned to fight with his life on the line, because he would be able to determine the victor with a single strike. He definitely wouldn't be able to kill Sikong Ming. This Sikong Ming's strength was far from being as simple as a 94-stage Grotto-Heaven in the rumors. What Yangshang felt was the overwhelming righteousness that was surging out from a 99-stage Grotto-Heaven Great Perfection Stage, and it made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Is it important who I am?" Sikong Ming smiled and said.
Yangshang frowned and said, "It's impossible for there to be such an expert in the mortal world. Senior, please tell me."
"Marshal, have you heard of the Sky Beyond Heaven?"
"What? You're … someone from the Sky Beyond Heaven!? "
"Yes." Sikong Ming stroked his white beard and smiled. "At least 200 years ago."
"What do you mean?"
Sikong Ming's gaze was gentle as he smiled. "Because I had already ascended to the Sky Beyond Heaven more than 3000 years ago. There are only legends about me in the mortal world, but I have long since left the mortal world. However, 200 years ago, my son Sikong Han finally decided to give birth to the next generation, which is my granddaughter, Si Kongyao. Yao was born adorable, and has long been the apple of my eye. How could I continue to stay in the Sky Beyond Heaven? Thus, I returned to the mortal world to teach Yao, and to protect Yao at all times to prevent any mishaps from happening."
Yangshang's body trembled, and his eyes were filled with disbelief. Was the Sikong Ming in front of him really a god from the Sky Beyond Heaven? Or was he just a crazy demon that protected his granddaughter?
"I know that Marshal will definitely not believe me, but it doesn't matter. I have always stood aloof from worldly affairs. As long as Marshal does not offend me, I will definitely not offend Marshal."
"That's good." Yangshang knew that he couldn't win, so he naturally wouldn't force it. He said: "Then, Senior, if a war were to break out between the Northern Heaven Realm and the Eastern and Western Divine Realms, will you be involved?"
After all, a god from the Sky Beyond Heaven wasn't simple. Yangshang couldn't help but think about it carefully.
Sikong Ming smiled: "I won't, except for one."
"Which one?"
"Do not become enemies with my granddaughter, Si Kongyao. Otherwise … Even if I have to risk my old bones, I will drag Marshal down to hell."
Yangshang was stunned: "Junior understands. Senior, don't worry. I will definitely not become enemies with Miss Si Kongyao. Senior, please be at ease."
"That's good. I will not send Marshal off. Marshal, please immediately withdraw your troops from the Tianji Sect. Don't make things difficult for my disciples."
"Yes, Senior. Farewell."
"Forgive me for not sending you off."
… …
"Creak." The wooden door opened. Sikong Ming and Yangshang walked out side by side as if they had been friends for many years.
"Let's go. Withdraw from the Tianji Sect's headquarters."
Yangshang waved his hand and cupped his hands at Sikong Ming to bid farewell.
Duo La was dumbfounded: "Marshal, are we leaving just like that?"
"Shut up! Let's go! "
"Yes …"
Duo La was very unwilling, but he could only follow Yangshang and leave the Tianji Sect's headquarters.
Looking at the backs of Yang Shang and the others, a hint of coldness flashed through Sikong Ming's eyes as he said indifferently, "Looks like the Celestial Pole Continent isn't peaceful again. I just hope that A 'Yao doesn't get too involved."
Thinking of this, Sikong Ming said in a low voice: "Guards!"
A high-ranking disciple quickly walked over: "Sect Master, please give your orders!"
"Pass down my order. Immediately start moving the Tianji Sect's headquarters."
"Ah? Headquarters … moving? Where? "
"To Xiping City, of course. Yao is there."
"But moving is no small matter. Sect Master, please think twice before you act!"
"I told you to move. Why are you talking so much nonsense!"
"Yes, move, move!"
… …
Half a month later, Yangshang's Protoss army swept through the entire Tianji Empire, turning it into his territory. However, he didn't touch the Xishan and Huoyuan Provinces. After all, those were the territory of Si Kongyao's Bai Ze Mercenaries. Yangshang wasn't stupid enough to go against Si Kongyao. Thinking of Sikong Ming's power, Yangshang couldn't help but feel at a loss. Sikong Ming had to be removed, but not now. At the very least, he had to wait until God Wang Dong Ming personally descended before he could consider it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have full confidence at all.
On the 22nd day of the seventh lunar month, Yangshang's army bypassed the Huoyuan and Xishan Provinces and attacked the Blackstone Empire. Within three days, they captured Thousand Mountain City.
The entire Blackstone Empire was shocked. Emperor Shi Yuan led his army eastward to seek refuge in the Red Cliff Province.
… …
On the 27th day, Shi Yuan's 200,000 Blackstone Empire soldiers arrived at Red Cliff City. Banners fluttered in the wind. Everyone was exhausted. Their pursuers were about to catch up.
"Open the gates!"
A messenger raised the royal flag and shouted, "Open the gates! His Majesty is here!"
The guards on the walls were stunned, but no one opened the gates.
"Whoosh!"
A cold arrow was shot into the city, piercing through the walls and killing the messenger.
At this time, a martial artist walked out from the walls. It was the Valley Lord of Wolf Valley, He Song. He raised his voice and said, "Red Cliff City is small and cannot accommodate 200,000 soldiers. Your Majesty, please arrange a formation outside the city to face the enemy. The people of Wolf Valley will soon leave the city and attack the enemy from the left and right. Your Majesty, please rest assured. We will definitely inflict heavy losses on the enemy!"
… …
Inside the tent, Shi Yuan cursed loudly, but it was to no avail.
Half a day later, Yangshang's Celestial Race army arrived. Blood flowed like a river outside Red Cliff City. Shi Yuan's 200,000 soldiers were unable to stop the enemy. In just one day, the majority of the 200,000 soldiers had either been killed or had fled. There were less than a few thousand soldiers by Shi Yuan's side. The situation was dire.
"It's over, it's all over …"
Shi Yuan raised his bloodstained longsword and said, "The Blackstone Empire is finished … He Song betrayed me … Longxi has disappeared without a trace. Our thousand-year foundation has been destroyed. Forget it … forget it …"
"Your Majesty, we cannot give up!"
Several generals pleaded, "Your Majesty, please give us the decree. We are willing to fight the enemy again!"
"There is no need. I am leaving."
Shi Yuan rushed into the sky and muttered some incantations. In the blink of an eye, the Gate of Heaven opened. Shi Yuan turned into a ray of light and flew towards the Western Divine Realm.
When his empire fell, Shi Yuan directly ascended.
… …
In the evening, He Song led the 100,000 soldiers of Wolf Valley out of the city and surrendered to Yangshang.
