Yantai County,
Mount Qingxu,
In the current cultivation world, Taoism is the most powerful school. There are six schools and countless schools. Most of these schools can be regarded as branches of the six schools and have the same Taoist tradition as one of the six schools. Among them, Mount Qingxu in Yantai County is an important Xuanzong Taoist school.
The Xuanzong Ancestral Court is located outside the East Sea and is isolated from the mainland. It is very inconvenient for it to do things, such as recruiting disciples and transmitting messages, which are all done by external Taoist schools.
As the Taoist school of Xuanzong, the number one school of Taoism, the Qingxu School has an extremely high status in Yantai County. It has about a hundred disciples. Its headmaster is a peak Creation stage expert and is an elder of the Hua generation in Xuanzong.
Xuanzong has a revered status in the cultivation world. The Great Zhou court also opens the doors to them to set up Taoist schools in various counties and gives them extremely preferential treatment in several eastern counties. Not only does it give them famous mountains and caves to use as gates, it also uses the court's resources to build Taoist temples for them and recommend extremely talented disciples for them, etc …
Today, a flying boat suddenly flies towards Mount Qingxu.
On the flying boat are several cultivators with high levels of power. They fly to the sky above Mount Qingxu then put away the flying boat and land. The Qingxu Temple's guarding disciples recognize that the newcomer is the Yantai County Governor. They step forward and say: "Sir, please wait here for a moment. I'll go to the temple to report to the abbot."
The Qingxu Temple is backed by Xuanzong so it does not care about ordinary people. Even if it is an official of Yantai County or a cultivator below the 6th level who comes to visit, they must wait outside the gate.
But this time, the Yantai County Governor does not wait here. He just waves his hand indifferently and says: "No need."
His face darkens. He says: "Do it."
Boom!
A Yantai County Governor picks up a huge hammer, flies up and smashes it fiercely on the Qingxu School's gate. Under this blow, the Qingxu School's lofty gate, together with the huge plaque with the three words' Qingxu School 'written on it, shatters and collapses with a loud rumble.
The 2 guarding disciples are already dumbfounded. Looking at the collapsed gate, their lips trembling, they cannot even say a word.
Several silhouettes fly out from inside the Taoist temple. A furious voice says: "How dare you! Which thug dares to break into my Qingxu Mountain School?!"
A man in a Taoist robe flew out of the temple. When he saw who it was, his expression changed and he asked in shock, "County Governor Qin, are you crazy?"
The Yantai County Governor stood in the air and said faintly, "His Majesty has decreed that from today onwards, Xuanzong Taoist temples are prohibited within the Great Zhou."
"Then where do you want us to go?" the man asked furiously.
The Yantai county chief says expressionlessly: "This is your own business. I'll give you a day's time to quickly move out of Mount Qingxu. Otherwise, the county office will take coercive measures. At that time, anyone who dares to obstruct the court's official business will be killed without mercy."
The man in the Daoist robe had a gloomy expression. The Yantai County Chief did not seem to be joking, and it was impossible for him to make such a joke.
This time, the Great Zhou court is serious. This is a big matter for both the Qingxu School and Xuanzong. He immediately flew back to the Qingxu Mountain School, took out his communication magic tool, and contacted the Ancestral Court.
At the same time, the Great Meeting Hall of the Xuanzong Ancestral Court has already become a pot of porridge.
"The Qingxu School sent a message. The Great Zhou court gave them a day's time to move out …"
"This is too much. The Tianxin School just sent people. They said their mountain gate was smashed by the Nanyang County Governor and the Great Zhou court wants to occupy their Taoist temple to raise chickens and ducks …"
"The Cave Abyss School was also asked to move out. Why did the Great Zhou court suddenly attack my Xuanzong?"
… …
Today, all of Xuanzong's Taoist temples in Great Zhou were given an ultimatum by the Great Zhou court. They were ordered to move out within a day. It seemed that the Great Zhou court wanted to expel Xuanzong's Taoist temples and drive them overseas.
Dao Cheng Zi had only been in charge of Xuanzong for two days, and this happened. This made his expression extremely ugly. He said coldly, "What is the Great Zhou court trying to do?"
At this time, a Xuanzong Elder stepped forward and said, "Martial Granduncle, this must have something to do with Ling Jizi of the Fu-lu School."
Dao Cheng Zi felt a headache when he heard this name. His reputation was completely ruined by this person. This person made him lose face in front of all the cultivators in the world. Dao Cheng Zi wanted nothing more than to cut him into pieces.
He asked in a low voice, "What does this have to do with him?"
The Xuanzong Elder Taoist priest said, "Martial Granduncle, you may not know this, but Ling Jizi is not only a second-generation disciple of the Fu-lu School, but he is also an important official of the Great Zhou. He has authority in his hands. There are even rumors that he is the exclusive property of the Great Zhou Empress. Perhaps because he suffered a loss in Xuanzong, the Great Zhou Empress became angry and took revenge on Xuanzong for her lover …"
Regardless of the reason, the Great Zhou court's actions did not sit well with Xuanzong.
These dozens of Taoist temples were very important to Xuanzong. They were responsible for providing the sect with new blood. The Great Zhou court's expulsion of these Taoist temples from the country would not affect Xuanzong too much in the short term. However, in the long term, it was a plan to remove the firewood from under the cauldron.
As long as Xuanzong opened his mouth, countless people in the cultivation world would join him. However, geniuses needed to be nurtured from a young age. If they missed the opportunity, it would be very difficult for them to become a top expert in the future.
In the face of the Great Zhou court's coercion, Dao Chengzi was silent for a moment. Then, he said, "Move a few more islands and temporarily settle them here. Xuanzong has been passed down for thousands of years and has seen many dynasties change. If the Zhou Dynasty thinks that they can challenge Xuanzong, I don't mind supporting a new ruler of Zu Province …"
No one expected Ling Jizi's revenge to come so quickly.
All of Xuanzong's Taoist temples were expelled from the country, and a good exchange meeting was ruined. In just a few days, thirty percent of the cultivators left for Shen Du of the Great Zhou.
It would not be long before what happened in Xuanzong in the past two days spread throughout the cultivation world of Zu Province. As the number one sect of Taoism, they had lost all face.
Xuanzong no longer had a foothold in Great Zhou.
At this time, a group of cultivators came from the Thousand Fox Nation in the distant Life Province.
Ever since the Thousand Fox Country and the Great Zhou Dynasty had formed an alliance, they had opened up a trade route to each other. Jiujiang County and the Thousand Fox Country had even opened up a trade route. Various large sects and families had gradually begun to do business with the Demon Country.
They used spiritual jades, magic treasures, pills, and other items to trade for the Yao Nation's abundant spiritual medicines and profited a lot.
In the imperial palace, Illusion Princess paced around in her chambers and muttered to herself, "Hmph, it's been so long, and he still hasn't come to see me. He doesn't recognize me after he's done with me. Bastard …"
At this time, Fox Six suddenly rushed in and said, "Your Majesty, I just heard something from those human cultivators."
Illusion Princess said angrily, "I don't want to hear it now."
Fox Six said, "It's about Li Mu."
Illusion Princess immediately looked up. "Speak!"
Fox Six said slowly, "I heard a few human cultivators discussing something. They said that a few days ago, Li Mu and Xuanzong had a conflict. Even the seventh realm elders of the two sects were alerted …"
Fox Six described Xuanzong's matter in detail. After hearing this, Illusion Princess was furious. She gritted her teeth and said, "Damn it, how dare they bully my man. I'll bring people to flatten their sect …"
Fox Six hurriedly advised, "Your Majesty, don't be rash. Xuanzong is the most powerful sect in Zu Province. They have five seventh realm cultivators, and rumor has it that they even have eighth realm cultivators in their sect. Let alone us, even the Empress of Great Zhou can't touch Xuanzong … Oh, right, there's someone who wants to trade spiritual medicines with us. It's Xuanzong's disciple."
At the entrance of the palace, more than ten human cultivators were waiting.
Although Zu Province was vast and had abundant resources, there were also many people. The spiritual medicines sold everywhere were often expensive and priceless. However, the Yao Nation was different. This place was rich in spiritual medicines, and the demons didn't know how to refine pills or write talismans. They could buy or trade spiritual medicines they needed at a very low price.
Standing at the front of the crowd was a man in a Daoist robe. The cultivators tacitly kept their distance from him. Xuanzong's disciples were high and mighty. They didn't want to get close to them even if they didn't look at them.
Not long after, a beautiful demoness walked in from inside.
She glanced at the crowd and asked, "Who's Xuanzong's disciple?"
The cultivators sighed in their hearts. Xuanzong was indeed Xuanzong. Even in the desolate Yao Nation, Xuanzong's disciples had the privilege of being received first.
The man in the Daoist robe stood out. He raised his head and said arrogantly, "I am."
The beautiful female demon looked at him and confirmed, "You're Xuanzong's disciple?"
The man puffed out his chest and said, "Xuanzong, Hua Xuanzi."
Fox Six's gaze turned cold. She said indifferently, "Except for this Hua something from Xuanzong, everyone can go in."
Hua Xuanzi was stunned. He asked, "What about me?"
Fox Six looked at him and said coldly, "I'll give you three breaths. Get out of here and tell your sect that Xuanzong's disciples are not welcome in Qianhu Nation. The next time you dare to step in here, I'll break your legs. Get out!"
