In the center of the Xian Tian Palace, there was a majestic palace. It was the most majestic palace in the entire palace and it was known as the Fu Xi Palace.
All the important matters in the palace were decided in the Fu Xi Palace and it was the hub of the Xian Tian Palace.
There were eight golden bells hanging outside of the palace and one of them was ringing.
In the palace was a huge Innate Eight Trigrams Diagram that was divided into eight directions and there were eight seats.
The main seat wasn't facing the south but at the center of the palace. It was nine feet higher than the other eight seats and the furnishings on it were simple, there was only a futon and four incense burners.
Among the eight seats, there were only three empty seats: the north, northwest, and southeast.
On the other five seats, there was an elder of Xian Tian Palace sitting in each seat and behind them, there were disciples standing in groups of two or three.
Everyone held their breath and listened to the bell ringing in Silence.
The bell rang six times and stopped.
On the dome of the palace, light rays shone down.
The light rays condensed into a flight of stairs that extended all the way to the main seat in the center of the palace.
A lady who looked to be in her thirties or forties walked down the stairs slowly and sat down on the futon in the middle of the four incense burners.
On the other five seats, the five elders who were sitting quietly stood up and bowed to the center.
"Greetings, palace master."
The current palace master of Xian Tian Palace, 'Flipping Hands' Shan Jing nodded and said, "Rise."
The five elders then sat down together.
Xian Tian Palace Master said, "Today's topic is about me, Elder Cheng He, and the Ancient God, Chen Luoyang."
'Indefinite Calamity' Cheng He's position in the Xian Tian Palace was not as high as the eight elders and he usually kept a low profile, but as a member of the Elder Council and a Martial Saint level expert, the Xian Tian Palace couldn't just ignore his death.
"The Divine Land's Chen Luoyang is extremely mysterious, but the Fifteenth Realm's Emperor Wu Realm has been appointed by the Ancient God as the unprecedented Deputy Hierarch. The reason behind this is thought-provoking," Elder Xunfeng Yue Zhengbo said from the seats in the southwest.
He said slowly, "According to the information we have so far, those who came to the Divine Land with Junior Brother Cheng were the Abbot of the West Paradise, the Sword Master of the North Sea, the Lord of Fusang Island, and the Lord of Azure Dragon Island. Later, the Sky River Sword Immortal, the Blood River Patriarch, Emperor Chu, and the Hierarch of the Ancient God also made a move. But in the end, Chen Luoyang was safe and sound. A few days ago, he even showed up in Zhengyang City, the capital of the West Qin Dynasty."
Previously, everyone in Xian Tian Palace knew that Emperor Wu's experts were annihilated in the Divine Land.
The reason why many of the Fifteenth Realm's disciples were able to come to the Divine Land was due to the treasures of Xian Tian Palace.
Among them were the Blood River's disciples, the Heavenly River's disciples, the Southern Chu's Sovereign Race, the West Paradise's disciples, and the Fusang Island's disciples.
But in the end, all of them died because of Chen Luoyang and the West Paradise even lost a precious treasure, the Earth Treasury Wheel.
Because of a single page of the Heavenly Book, the experts finally made their move, but Chen Luoyang was still able to escape unscathed. Now, he was still free and unfettered. It was truly unbelievable.
Even though the Sword Master of the North Sea and the Lord of Azure Dragon Island were on the side of the Ancient God's Hierarch and the three experts worked together to protect Chen Luoyang, the enemies were much stronger.
The fact that Chen Luoyang was able to come out unscathed would soon become a mystery in the Mortal World.
On the seats in the south, an old man dressed in black said, "Regarding this brat, it's best not to be too hasty."
"Senior Apprentice-Brother You is right." On the seats in the east, Elder Li Huo said, "However, Junior Apprentice-Brother Cheng coming to the Mortal World without a word is a little strange."
Elder Xun Feng, Le Zhengbo, said, "Junior Apprentice-Brother Shan's words are the strange one. Junior Apprentice-Brother Cheng has always been thinking of the Palace. When he heard of the whereabouts of the Heavenly Book's remnant, he came to the Mortal World to look for it. Although it was a bit rash, what's so strange about it?"
Elder Li Huo said, "For the Palace, or for Southern Chu …"
On the central seat, Xian Tian Palace Master cut him off, "Don't talk about baseless guesses."
"Yes, Palace Master," Elder Li Huo immediately shut his mouth.
On the seats in the west, Elder Kan Shui, Shentu Hou, spoke indifferently.
"The Palace is located within Southern Chu's borders and has to deal with the people of Southern Chu. Junior Apprentice-Brother Cheng is good at socializing and indeed has more dealings with the people of Southern Chu. It's inevitable that some gossip will arise.
However, he has always been loyal to the Palace, selfless, planning for the Palace without a care for his personal reputation. Now that he is no longer here, his reputation is still being slandered by others. It's really heartbreaking. "
Elder Li Huo heard him and sneered coldly. Then, Shentu Hou continued, "I was too rash, please forgive me, Palace Master. If it was someone else, I wouldn't mind it. But a scum who puts his own interests above the Xian Tian Palace's slandering Junior Apprentice-Brother Cheng's reputation, I really can't stand it."
His words were sharp and sharp like a thunderstorm.
Elder Li Huo heard him and his face changed, "Shentu Hou, watch your mouth. Do you think I'm a pushover?"
"It's you, Shan Song, who thinks I is a pushover." Slowly, Elder Xun Feng, Le Zhengbo, spoke from the southwest.
He stood up, "Poor I, I've been searching for dozens of years and finally found a suitable successor. But because he stood in your grandson's way, you, Shan Song, have to deal with him yourself."
Elder Li Huo, Shan Song, shouted angrily, "Yue Zhengbo, are you out of your mind?"
In the northeast, Elder Zhenlei, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke. His voice was like a thunderclap that shook the whole place, "Senior Apprentice-Brother Yue, please be careful with your words. What you said just now is not just empty words."
Elder Xun Feng, Yue Zhengbo's expression was solemn and his eyes were filled with sadness, "Junior Apprentice-Brother Mu, you should still remember that successor of I, Zhang Mao."
Elder Zhenlei said, "That's right, he is indeed an outstanding talent. But sadly, the Heavens are jealous of his talent. If he didn't die so early, he might not be any weaker than the Southern Chu's Cheng Yingtian."
"Junior Apprentice-Brother Mu, you flatter me. If that closed-door disciple of I could really live to this day, it's hard to say what he would have achieved." Elder Xun Feng, Yue Zhengbo, said, "But at least, he could be considered as a talent. That's true, right?"
He looked up to the sky and sighed, "But what a pity, what a pity that he is the same age as Shan Song's grandson, but his seniority is just a little bit higher.
If it wasn't for the fact that I was overjoyed by his talent and personally took him in as a disciple, perhaps he wouldn't have met with such a calamity. "
Elder Kanshui, Shentu Hou, said, "Senior Apprentice-Brother Yue, you are thinking wrongly. With Zhang Mao's talent, he is above Shan Song's grandson, Shan Zhongjie. Even if he is a generation younger than Shan Zhongjie, he would still be killed by Shan Song. Otherwise, how could Shan Song pave the way for his grandson?"
Elder Li Huo, Shan Song, laughed out of anger, "Shentu, are you crying injustice for your grandson? But unfortunately, he is not Zhongjie's match. "
"If not for that, I'm afraid that Jingran would have long been killed by your Shan Family, causing this old man to send off his son," Elder Kanshui, Shentu Hou, said.
"Senior Apprentice-Brother Shentu, you are crossing the line." Elder Zhenlei said, "Senior Apprentice-Brother Yue has lost his last disciple, it is understandable for him to say a few more words. But if you continue to spout nonsense, don't blame me for offending you."
Elder Li Huo, Shan Song, shouted, "Zhang Mao is our palace's most outstanding disciple, he is talented and has limitless potential. Unfortunately, he died at such a young age and this old man feels sorry for him. But this does not mean that I will be slandered by you all!"
The atmosphere in the palace was getting tense.
Only the Xian Tian Palace Master who was sitting in the middle and the old man sitting in the South were calm as if they didn't hear the quarrel.
"Slander? Slander? " Elder Xun Feng, Yue Zhengbo, laughed out loud, "If there is no proof, how would I know that it was you, Shan Song?"
His laughter was shrill, he raised his hand and a black shadow appeared.
When the crowd looked at it, it was a broken Eight Trigrams Plate.
"This is the treasure that I gave to Zhang Mao." Yue Zhengbo flicked his finger on the Eight Trigrams Plate and the scene was reflected on it.
In the scene, Elder Li Huo, Shan Song's face was expressionless as he launched a palm strike.
"It is as good as the real one."
Elder Li Huo, Shan Song, sneered in disdain.
Elder Xun Feng, Yue Zhengbo, stopped talking and threw the Eight Trigrams Plate at Elder Zhenlei.
Shan Song, on the other hand, was still sneering, but his eyes dimmed.
Elder Zhenlei kept quiet for a while and Slowly, he said, "Senior Martial Brother Shan …."
"Junior Brother Mu, this old man has always admired your cultivation and strength." Li Huo Elder Shan Song said, "But in this world, there are a few experts who don't use their abilities in the right way. They only know how to take the wrong path."
Elder Zhenlei was speechless.
Of course, he knew that there were a few people who faked their strength and might be able to fool his eyes.
Elder Zhenlei's eyes moved between the old man sitting in the South and the Xian Tian Palace Master sitting in the middle.
"Shan Song is the Palace Master's blood brother and Shan Zhongjie is the Palace Master's nephew. Palace Master, please stay away from what happened today," Elder Kan Shui, Shentu Hou, said Slowly.
Elder Li, Shan Song, sneered, "Good, the fox's tail has finally shown!"
He shouted at Elder Zhenlei, "Junior Martial Brother Mu, do you still not understand? Apart from You Hao, who else would forge something to fool you? Who would have the ability to fool your eyes and ears? "
On the southern seats, the head of Xian Tian Palace's Elder Council, Gantian Elder You Hao, was expressionless and calm, not saying a single word.
"Li Huo, don't make a ruckus," Palace Master said.
Elder Li, Shan Song, immediately stopped talking.
The Palace Head looked at Elder You Hao, "If you have something to say, just say it."
Elder Xun Feng, Yue Zhengbo, said, "We are not like the Southern Chu, Western Qin, and Eastern Zhou, we shouldn't use bloodline to determine our orthodoxy.
We don't have any other intentions, we just hope that the importance of one clan will not be placed above that of a palace …. "
"I didn't ask you," Palace Master said calmly.
Her voice wasn't loud, but it suppressed Yue Zhengbo to the point that he couldn't speak anymore.
"I agree with Junior Martial Brother Yue's words."
The head of the Xian Tian Palace elders, Elder You Hao, spoke.
As his voice resounded, Elder Xun Feng, Yue Zhengbo, felt the mountain-like pressure disappear and he heaved a breath of relief.
Slowly, You Hao stood up with his hands behind his back and calmly looked at Palace Master Shan Jing who was sitting in the middle.
"Only those who are capable can occupy it. Does this also include you, Senior Apprentice Brother You?" The Palace Master said indifferently.
