In the square of the Iron Sword Gate, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Gu Hui used the Li Fire Sect's cornerstone cultivation technique, causing the cultivators present to sense a terrifying spiritual energy fluctuation.
This strength was much stronger than Master Scarlet Sun's second-grade True Fire. Just this move alone could be said to be worthy of the title of Li Fire Sect's Sect Master.
When Lu Jinyuan saw this, he walked forward and bowed towards Gu Hui, "Ancestral Master's divine skills are peerless. This disciple has seen it all. I'm afraid that in this world, there is no one who can exceed Ancestral Master in cultivating the Li Fire Sect's cultivation techniques."
When Gu Hui heard this, he revealed a rare look of joy as he said to Lu Jinyuan, "Just as you said, the Li Fire Sect should be revived once again. This time, let me create a new golden age."
When Mo Wen Tian saw this, he revealed a rare look of fear, "The few of you, the Central State still has the Thousand Spirit Sect and the Heavenly Dao Sect. It will be extremely difficult to revive the sect. Furthermore, we are content with Eastern Pride and do not wish to be enemies with the Central State cultivators. Times have changed. This is no longer a matter that can be solved by a single sect. "
Master Scarlet Sun also walked forward and echoed, "My Xuan Yang Sect has no grudges with the Central State cultivators. If we were to rashly revive the Li Fire Sect, we will inevitably become the target of public criticism. We will strictly abide by the Xuan Yang Patriarch Yun Zhongzheng's last wishes. We will definitely not engage in meaningless consumption. "
Xuan Yang Sect Master Qu Yifeng, who was standing behind Master Scarlet Sun, also stood forward and pointed at the few of them, "We are now cultivators of the Xuan Yang Sect. We do not have much to do with the Central State's Li Fire Sect. I'm afraid the few of you have made a mistake today."
With such interference, the expression on Gu Hui's face immediately became a little impatient. After a trace of haze flashed in his eyes, he stared at Daoist Scarlet Sun and Qu Yifeng for a few moments before he coldly snorted, "I didn't expect that you two would actually forget about the sect. After receiving benefits from the sect, you don't even know how to repay the sect."
Master Scarlet Sun stood in front of Qu Yifeng, indicating for him not to stand out. Following that, he defended himself, "Senior Gu, it is not that my Xuan Yang lineage does not know what's good for us, but the Patriarch has decreed that we only recognize tokens and cultivation techniques. Have you brought the token of your sect with you? "
After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze and gave a look to Dongfang Lingyun, Mo Wen Tian, and the others. The latter all understood and hurriedly opened their mouths, using these words as excuses. For a moment, the atmosphere became awkward.
On the other hand, the Soul-Devouring Rat King opened his mouth and said to Gu Hui, "Then you should also take out the sect's keepsake and show it to the disciples. Otherwise, it would be hard to convince them."
Gu Hui's expression changed several times. At this moment, the fury in his eyes had directly engulfed the people present who were singing a different tune. However, his rationality told him that he couldn't do that. He still needed to rely on them for many things in the future.
He then forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "The sect's token had already been destroyed by Luo Que from the Upper Realm three thousand years ago. In that case, if we don't have that token, are you not willing to acknowledge your ancestors and return to the sect?"
These words sounded like the prelude to a flustered and exasperated rage. However, Mo Wen Tian smiled as if he had already known this answer. He shook his head and said, "Back then, our sect's patriarch, Heng Jian, was ordered by Patriarch Li Huo to escort the broken Clear Sky Mirror and give it to Patriarch Xuanyang, Yun Zhongzheng. At this moment, all of us fourth generation disciples know about it. Furthermore, a thousand years ago, when the patriarch fought against the Southern Border's Holy Son, Qin Mingyue, he even took it out and used it. This matter cannot be faked. "
Nangong Aotian and Dongfang Lingyun also agreed. At the same time, they also clearly stated that if they didn't see the token, they wouldn't talk about it.
As for Master Scarlet Sun, he acted as if it was a matter of course. At the same time, he privately explained the reason behind it to the disciples behind him.
Lu Jinyuan didn't expect that the grand occasion of the entire sect would turn into a stalemate. However, when he saw the increasingly serious expression on Gu Hui's face, he knew that this wasn't going to be easy.
As expected, Gu Hui opened his mouth and sneered, "You all said that the times have changed, but now, you all still cling to Yun Zhongzheng's teachings and stick to the rules. I wonder who is the one who didn't conform to the trend of the times. Now that the situation in the Central State has changed, the various large sects are fighting to the death for the treasures left behind by the Li Fire Sect. If one day, the Central State sends people over, I believe that you all can't stay out of it. Instead of being passive, it's better to take the initiative. "
These words hit the nail on the head. Although the Eastern Ao Six Plates didn't care about the situation in the Central State, they would still privately report back to the Central State. However, in private, they would still send detailed information back to the sect. Moreover, the forces of the three major sects of the Central Province were constantly infiltrating the area. Perhaps one day, the high level cultivators of the three major sects would come looking for trouble.
Mo Wen Tian was definitely the most troubled by this. Although it wasn't a big secret that his Metal Sword Sect had taken in Xiao Linhang and the others from the Central State's Heavenly Fortune Sect, there was no such thing as a wall.
However, there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. This matter would inevitably spread to the Thousand Spirits Sect. When the time came, it would definitely be a huge problem if the other party found something that could be used against them.
Furthermore, the upper echelons of the Eastern Arrogant Six Sects were more or less aware of this matter. Everyone looked at Mo Wen Tian, implying that he should make the final decision.
However, Mo Wen Tian's face showed no signs of fear. He only smiled gently and said, "I heard that Senior Gu is the Li Fire Sect's founder, Yun Zhongzheng's senior brother. Today, I see that you are indeed a dragon among men. I have a presumptuous request. If Senior Gu can agree to it, we can discuss the following matter. "
Daoist Scarlet Sun, who was by the side, immediately revealed an anxious expression. Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Mo Wen Tian's stern gaze. Knowing that he was a cautious person, Daoist Scarlet Sun could only bear with it for the time being. He wanted to see how Mo Wen Tian would respond.
When Gu Hui heard that there was a turning point, his expression turned slightly better. He immediately replied, "What is your request?"
"Senior's strength is profound. This junior has long heard of it. Why don't we take this opportunity to exchange pointers and let the juniors witness the Li Fire Sect's unparalleled divine skills?" Mo Wen Tian suddenly mentioned.
This was something that no one had expected. Lu Jinyuan once again sized up Mo Wen Tian, who was in front of him. Although it was true that his cultivation level was profound, he was facing their sect's founder from three thousand years ago. Although he was not a direct disciple, he was not much worse than the direct disciple, Yun Zhongzheng.
Since Mo Wen Tian had said this, there must be a follow-up. However, Lu Jinyuan did not know what he would do next. At this moment, Lu Jinyuan secretly felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart. Since Mo Wen Tian in front of him dared to draw a line so easily, Lu Jinyuan did not know what his intention was.
Gu Hui also sized up Mo Wen Tian with a look of surprise. Following that, he coldly snorted and said, "Alright, since you want to try, don't worry. On account of us being from the same sect, I will not make things too difficult for you."
"There are many people here. Why don't we exchange pointers high up in the sky? Fellow Yuanying brothers can watch from afar. As for the Jin Dan disciples, they can watch from within the array." Mo Wen Tian suggested.
"Up to you." After saying that, Gu Hui's figure leaped into the air. The Soul-Devouring Rat King, Lu Jinyuan, and Hu Yiyuan also flew to one side.
The Yuanying cultivators of the Eastern Proud Six Sects also flew into the air, forming groups of three to five. As for Daoist Scarlet Sun, he had an extremely anxious look on his face. He hurriedly walked forward and said to Mo Wen Tian, "Senior Brother, you have overestimated yourself this time. Do you have the confidence to defeat Gu Hui?"
Mo Wen Tian merely glanced at him. The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile. He secretly transmitted a message to Daoist Scarlet Sun, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Following that, he turned his head and instructed Yi Lingfeng to take charge of the Protective Mountain Array. Following that, he led the disciples of the Profound Sun Lineage into the air and faced off against Gu Hui and the rest not far away.
After a golden light flashed from below, the sect's Protective Mountain Array on Skyscraper Cliff was activated once again. Many of the Jin Dan cultivators in the square raised their heads and locked their gazes on the figures of Gu Hui and Mo Wen Tian in the air. Such a battle of the century was not something that could be casually witnessed.
High up in the sky, Gu Hui slowly flew forward and pointed his finger at Mo Wen Tian, saying, "Although Heng Jian and Ba Dao's saber and sword techniques are not the orthodox techniques of the Li Fire Sect, they are still exceptionally sharp. In the current world, only the Immortal Sword Sect of the Western Wasteland and the Thousand Spirit Sect of the Central Region can be compared to you. "
When Mo Wen Tian heard such praises, he revealed a proud look. However, he did not dare to be arrogant in front of Gu Hui. He cupped his hands and said, "This junior's master is Heng Jian and Ba Dao's disciple. However, in the end, it is still the Li Fire Lineage. In comparison, Senior Gu's cultivation technique is the strongest in this realm. It is also much stronger than mine. "
After the two of them exchanged pleasantries, Gu Hui did not rush them to make a move as he was concerned about his reputation. Instead, he commented on the Xuan Yang Sect cultivators one by one. Although his voice was not loud, everyone present heard it clearly. Indeed, with the cultivation of Master Scarlet Sun and the rest, as well as Huo Chilian, Qu Yifeng and Ba Dao might not be Gu Hui's match even if they joined forces.
After the three of them heard Gu Hui's words, they immediately revealed a look of fear. Gu Hui had only taken a glance and he was able to accurately point out the truth. Such keen eyesight was rare in this world.
After a while, Gu Hui weighed the pros and cons and said to Mo Wen Tian, "How about this? As long as you can take three of my moves, I can consider this matter as if it never happened. After that, I will return to the Central Region and not trouble you guys again. If you can't take it, you guys should quickly announce to the world that you acknowledge your ancestors and return to the Li Fire Ancestral Vein. How about it? "
This time, Mo Wen Tian did not even hesitate and agreed, "Alright, it's a deal."
Behind him, Master Scarlet Sun and the rest were shocked when they heard this. Putting aside Gu Hui's strength, how could a cultivator at the same level as the Profound Sun Sect Ancestor be easy to deal with? Gu Hui must have a plan. Moreover, he must know the techniques of Eternal Sword and Tyrant Blade. He had at least a 70% to 80% chance of winning against Mo Wen Tian.
After that, Master Scarlet Sun hurriedly flew forward and asked, "Senior Brother Mo, are you confident? This gamble concerns the fate of the entire Eastern Pride Sect and even the Central Region."
Mo Wen Tian smiled and replied, "Junior Brother Scarlet Sun, don't panic. Why would I agree to this if I wasn't confident? Moreover, the one accepting the challenge shouldn't be me. Don't tell me you don't have confidence in him?"
After he finished speaking, he slowly waved his hand to signal the people behind him to retreat a little more and give them some space. His eyes flashed and he said to Gu Hui, "Senior Gu, let's forget about the three moves agreement. As long as you can gain the upper hand in this battle, my Eastern Pride Profound Sun Sect will definitely follow your lead."
Gu Hui was stunned when he heard this. Then, he smiled with a rosy face and said, "Alright, since you're willing to change the rules and are so confident that you can suppress me, then it's a deal. I believe you won't go back on your words even if you lose in front of so many people. Cut the crap and make your move. Let me see how much you've learned from Eternal Sword and Tyrant Blade. "
After he finished speaking, Gu Hui extended his hand and flipped his palm. A ball of golden flame appeared in his hand, ready to be unleashed. However, when he saw that Mo Wen Tian didn't seem to have any intention of making his move, he couldn't help but feel doubtful and asked, "Are you going to admit defeat directly?"
Unexpectedly, Mo Wen Tian just stroked his beard and said confidently, "I did propose the idea of a spar, but the one who is going to fight with Senior Gu is my junior brother."
Gu Hui's expression changed and he shouted coldly, "Are you saying that you'll let Master Scarlet Sun fight on your behalf?" After he glanced at everyone, a look of disdain appeared on his face.
"Of course it's not Master Scarlet Sun's junior brother. It's my other junior brother." After he finished speaking, Mo Wen Tian slowly retreated to the side and stood in front of Master Scarlet Sun and the others.
Suddenly, not far in front of Gu Hui, a spatial spiritual pressure wave spread out, creating a ripple in the void for no reason. Then, this spiritual pressure wave slowly spread out in all directions, converging into a human figure.
A familiar face suddenly appeared in front of everyone. At this moment, Yi Tian, who was dressed in a green robe, appeared out of thin air. When Master Scarlet Sun and the others saw this, they were instantly overjoyed. When their Divine Senses scanned the spiritual pressure ripple on Yi Tian's body, they couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
At this moment, Lu Jinyuan and Hu Yiyuan looked at Yi Tian's appearance in disbelief. The awkwardness on their faces was indescribable.
As for the Soul-Devouring Rat King, it stared at the person who suddenly appeared below carefully. Then, its expression became uglier and uglier. Although it couldn't see through Yi Tian's cultivation, its innate instinct told it that the person in front of it was an extremely dangerous person.
As for Gu Hui, his expression also became unusually interesting. This was the second time he met Yi Tian. The last time they met, he was still in the intermediate stage of Yuanying. Now, he had actually advanced to the later stage of Yuanying in less than a hundred years. It was impossible without a huge opportunity.
Yi Tian waved his hand and pointed at Gu Hui, "We meet again, Senior Gu. It seems that you have finally completed the fusion after taking over the body. Also, your cultivation has improved."
"Likewise. I didn't expect to meet you in the end," Gu Hui said with a solemn expression.
Yi Tian, however, did not mind at all. He flipped his hand and passed a jade tablet to Mo Wen Tian. Then, he informed them, "You all can watch the images inside once. Then, you will know the cause and effect of today's matter."
After that, he turned his head and called out to Lu Jinyuan and Hu Yiyuan, "You guys go and take a look too. Otherwise, you will only hear my side of the story."
Lu Jinyuan, on the other hand, was extremely curious about the information on the jade pendant. Since he had obtained Yi Tian's permission, he naturally wouldn't want to miss it. He flew up to examine the image on the jade pendant with Mo Wen Tian and the rest.
After a short while, Mo Wen Tian and the rest sighed. After that, they raised their heads and looked at Gu Hui with a slightly different expression. Even Lu Jinyuan and Hu Yiyuan, who had panicked looks on their faces, did not fly back to their original positions. Instead, they stood together with Mo Wen, Tian Chiyangzi, and the others. Their eyes were filled with endless fear.
Seeing this sudden change, Gu Hui's face was filled with doubt. He shouted sternly, "What exactly are the images in the jade tablet?"
