"Junior Sister Shan, if it were any other matter, the sect wouldn't interfere. However, the sect has been on good terms with the Buddhist Sect for generations. Junior Sister, you mustn't cause trouble for the sect just because of momentary gratification," Si Kongjian said. "Moreover, Martial Aunt Yun Qing is about to undergo her tribulation. Junior Sister, are you sure you don't want to go back and take a look?"
"Master, she?" Xiang Qingcheng was shocked.
"The lightning mirror in Martial Aunt Yun Qing's cave abode has cracked. The tribulation lightning will arrive at any time. Junior Sister Shan, are you sure you don't want to go back with me? "Si Kongjian asked.
"Master is about to undergo her tribulation?" Xiang Qingcheng was shocked. Clearly, she didn't expect such an accident to happen.
"That's right. Junior Sister Shan, you shouldn't have a conflict with the Buddhist Sect at this time. I came from the Jade Pure Immortal Palace to make a promise to the Sect that I'll bring you back. I mustn't have a conflict with the Buddhist Sect. If Junior Sister Shan insists on doing so, you'll have to go through me first, "Si Kongjian said with a sigh.
"Senior Brother Si Kongjian, you …" Xiang Qingcheng was displeased. She was also in a difficult position. Si Kongjian was only in the late-stage Combination Realm. He couldn't stop her. Si Kongjian's action was nothing more than suicide. Against a true enemy, Xiang Qingcheng would not hesitate in the slightest. However, against the Jade Pure Immortal Palace that had treated her as their own for thousands of years and had nurtured her to the Mahayana Realm, Xiang Qingcheng could not bear to part with it.
No matter what, Xiang Qingcheng couldn't really do anything to Si Kongjian.
"Brother Si Kongjian, you don't have to do this. Qingcheng won't do anything to you," Si Kongjian said. He didn't want to make things difficult for Xiang Qingcheng.
"Junior Sister Shan used to be called Qingcheng. Elixir King Lu, I've always wanted to compete with you in alchemy. However, I never had the chance. It seems like I won't have such a chance in the future. " Sikong Jiandao said as he looked at Lu Xiaotian's severed arm. When he first met Lu Xiaotian, although Lu Xiaotian's strength had exceeded his expectations, he was still a Body Integration Realm cultivator. No matter how strong he was, he could not surpass the Body Integration Realm.
But now, Lu Xiaotian was able to shake the world with a mere severed arm, even defeating a ferocious monster like the Peng Niu Sage.
In the Jade Pure Immortal Palace, Patriarch Yun Qing was about to transcend the tribulation. There was only Old Monster Wu Shan in the palace. Xiang Qingcheng was extremely talented and had advanced to the Mahayana Stage in just a few thousand years. This had greatly enriched the strength of the Jade Pure Immortal Palace. Even if Patriarch Yun Qing was able to successfully ascend to the Immortal World, Jade Pure Immortal Palace's strength was still tyrannical.
However, this was the accumulation of the Jade Pure Immortal Palace over countless years. Lu Xiaotian had relied on his own strength to create a strength that was not inferior to the Jade Pure Immortal Palace. Even though the Crimson Moon Desert's middle and lower level forces were not as solid as the Jade Pure Immortal Palace, in terms of the strength of the Mahayana Realm, the Crimson Moon Desert even had a slight advantage. As for how big the advantage was, it would probably depend on the strength of Lu Xiaotian's original body.
Sikong Jiandao could not help but feel jealous about the relationship between Lu Xiaotian and Xiang Qingcheng. However, after chasing Xiang Qingcheng for so many years, Sikong Jiandao was a little disheartened. According to Old Monster Wu Shan and Patriarch Yun Qing, they had personally tested the memories sealed in Xiang Qingcheng's sea of consciousness because of the Forgetting Soul Stone. Even a Mahayana Realm cultivator could only sigh and forget. Although there was a difference between someone else taking action and taking action himself. After all, outsiders did not dare to make too much of a move in Xiang Qingcheng's sea of consciousness. The rebound would be smaller if Xiang Qingcheng took action himself. After all, no one knew Xiang Qingcheng's sea of consciousness better than him.
However, what Patriarch Yun Qing and Old Monster Wu Shan could not do was something that Xiang Qingcheng had just advanced not long ago. He would not be able to unlock the sealed memories in such a short time.
However, even though Xiang Qingcheng had lost his memories, he still could not compare to Lu Xiaotian after thousands of years of unreserved treatment for Xiang Qingcheng. With such a huge contrast, Sikong Jiandao could not help but feel a sense of despair.
"I would also like to discuss the Dao with Pill King Sikong. However, with my original body under house arrest, I am unable to discuss the higher realms of the Dao of Alchemy with Pill King Sikong. "
Severed Arm said, then turned to Xiang Qingcheng and said, "This time, I only came to the Buddhist Sect to see my original body. Even if we really make a move, with just the few of us, we won't be able to shake the foundation of the Buddhist Sect. Since you still have things to worry about at the Jade Pure Immortal Palace, you can return to the Jade Pure Immortal Palace with Pill King Sikong."
"But on your side." Xiang Qingcheng could not help but feel a little hesitant. The current situation undoubtedly put him in a difficult position.
"It's fine, we won't be able to fight. Moreover, the Buddhist Sect is worthy of being the number one Sect in the East Continent. Its foundation is extraordinary. We really can't fight right now." Severed Arm's spiritual sense swept over a familiar aura in the distance and was slightly startled.
As soon as Severed Arm's voice fell, a thundercloud rolled in the distant void. When the thundercloud dispersed, a monk with an angry gaze like that of a Vajra was revealed.
"Amitabha, Pill King Lu, long time no see." In the past, Thunder Monk Ming Xie had also reached the Grand Ascension Stage and his attainments in the Dao of Lightning were definitely not low. Lu Xiaotian was also a little surprised. In the past, he had not interacted much with monks of the Ming generation. Ming Yi and Ming Xie were both outstanding individuals of their time. At the time, Ming Yi was much stronger than Ming Xie.
However, Ming Xie had reached the Grand Ascension Stage after receiving Thunder Buddha Shi Qing's inheritance. He wondered how Ming Yi was doing now.
Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he saw Ming Xie's thunderclouds in the sky. He truly lived up to his reputation. Even if his body was destroyed by Void Tribulant, no one could shake his current position in the Buddhist Sect.
Severed Arm sized up Ming Xie and said, "Should I call you Ming Xie or Kong Xie from now on?"
"The High Monks of the Kong generation are already full. Pill King Lu, you can use your previous title." Ming Xie put his palms together. After reaching the Grand Ascension Stage in the Dao of Lightning, Ming Xie didn't seem as hot-tempered as before.
"Master Ming Xie, it seems you've come specifically to stop me this time." Severed Arm sized up Ming Xie again. Although the other party didn't seem to have broken through for long, his Dao of Lightning was exquisite and couldn't be underestimated.
"Amitabha, the Buddhist Sect is a place of tranquility. Pill King Lu, you must not disturb the peace of the Buddhist Sect." Although Ming Xie was polite to Lu Xiaotian, his meaning couldn't be more clear. Even if they had a good personal relationship in the past, Ming Xie had no room to back down when it came to matters of the Sect.
"Since that's the case, if the Buddhist Sect wants to make peace and cut off my contact with the Crimson Moon Desert without permission, what are your intentions?"
Severed Arm said, "Even without the Jade Pure Immortal Palace, I can still join forces with the Yao Clan and even the powerhouses of other races. All these years, the Buddhist Sect has never had the intention to touch the heavenly stones of the Realm. Are you forcing the Crimson Moon Desert to join forces with other forces to fight against the Buddhist Sect? "
When it came to vital interests, Ming Xie had no room to maneuver. Lu Xiaotian naturally couldn't back down even half a step.
Severed Arm looked further into the distance. "Since you're already here, show yourself. You want Ming Xie to talk to me about our past friendship, but you also want to avoid conflict with me. You can't be thinking of taking all the good things. Whether we fight or make peace, we have to decide now so that we don't have to drag each other into it in the future. "

"Amitabha, Pill King Lu, you're too serious. The Buddhist Sect naturally doesn't wish to be enemies with you. "In the distant void, Kong Ming and Kong 'e came together.
"This is your excuse?" Severed Arm asked.
"Pill King Lu, you've cultivated the sword embryo divine power. Due to this pressure, the Buddhist Sect has no choice. We hope you can forgive us! "Kong Ming said with a slightly apologetic expression.
"It seems like the Buddhist Sect is planning to side with the other side." The Buddhist Sect's answer didn't surprise Severed Arm. The lotus clone's previous encounter had already made him suspicious. As the lotus clone's strength continued to increase, the person behind the sword embryo was beginning to lose control. If Severed Arm and Xiang Qingcheng hadn't joined forces this time, the lotus clone would've been in danger.
"The green mountains never change, the clear water always flows. We'll meet again someday!"
"Amitabha, then I won't see you off." Kong 'e seemed to be very polite.
"Qingcheng, return to the Jade Pure Immortal Palace first. I'll take care of things here. Although my original body is under house arrest in the Buddhist Sect, he most likely knows what happened even if I don't contact him now. The Buddhist Sect definitely won't dare to act rashly. When I'm ready, I'll ask the Buddhist Sect for him. "
Severed Arm said to Xiang Qingcheng. Then, he and the lotus avatar went back the way they came.
"What do you plan to do?" Xiang Qingcheng transmitted his voice to Severed Arm behind his back.
"I'm going to look for Demon Lord Tongtian!" Severed Arm replied in private.
"When you're ready, my master will most likely have ascended to the Immortal World. Inform me when you're ready," Xiang Qingcheng said.
"Alright!" Severed Arm didn't stand on ceremony with Xiang Qingcheng.
"Amitabha. Uncle-Masters, this bastard has completely pushed Pill King Lu to the opposite side of the Buddhist Sect. Regardless of the strength of the person behind the sword embryo, once Pill King Lu escapes, it's hard to predict the impact on the Buddhist Sect." Ming Xie, whose attitude was still very firm just now, sighed slightly after Xiang Qingcheng and Si Kong Jiandao left.
"I hope Pill King Lu won't go to extremes in the future." Kong 'e's eyes flickered. Not to mention that Ming Xie's advancement to the Mahayana Stage had increased the strength of the Pearl Buddhist Sect by another level. Even if Ming Xie wasn't involved, Lu Xiaotian's severed arm, the sword cultivator called Nameless, and Xiang Qingcheng could forget about rescuing Pill King Lu from the Buddhist Sect.
"I hope so." Ming Xie shook his head. He was just a newcomer, so he naturally didn't have as much authority as his two Uncle-Masters on this matter.
