Daoist Xian Ding's doppelganger arrived without any concealment. Ying Chong immediately sensed it. He stood up from the branch, bowed and said, "Why are you here, Venerable One?"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw another doppelganger appear in front of him. It was Li Mishen. He hurriedly bowed. "Greetings, Exalted Li."
Daoist Xian Ding said, "Friend Ying, you must have received the order from Huanyang school."
Ying Chong heard his tone and words. He was slightly moved and said, "Yes, Venerable One Guan ordered me to quickly prepare to move to another place. I still don't know what happened."
Daoist Xian Ding said, "There are Daoist cultivators from Tianxia in the world where Huanyang school is located. Now, Fellow Daoist Guan is fighting with them."
Ying Chong was a little surprised and said, "Tianxia found out where we are?"
However, he immediately knew that this was definitely not a normal situation. There must be some other reason. If Cymbidium Lucidum was so easy to find, they would not have been able to hide here. They would have been found by Tianxia long ago.
Daoist Xian Ding was not prepared to explain too much to him. He said, "Since Tianxia has found us, they will not let us go so easily. Therefore, the situation is very dangerous. Fellow Daoist, you need to prepare as soon as possible."
Ying Chong knew that if he was simply asked to prepare to retreat, he would have already done so. Xian Ding and Li Mishen did not need to make a special trip. He said cautiously, "Venerable Ones, do you need any help?"
Daoist Xian Ding did not say anything directly. Instead, he transmitted a few words to Ying Chong. Finally, he said with deep meaning, "Friend Ying, how you choose is up to you."
Ying Chong did not change his expression. He only said, "I need to report this to the headmaster."
Li Mishen said, "Of course."
Ying Chong stood still on the Cymbidium Lucidum. Through this branch, he communicated with the Yu Ling Wall hidden in the depths of the Heavenly Branch, and revealed the intentions of Daoist Xian Ding and Li Mizhen to her.
Yu Lingbi said, "Elder Ying, although I have ascended to the position of Sect Leader, I am still young and inexperienced. May I ask Elder Ying, is this possible?"
The latter said, "Elder Ying is much better than me. You can handle this matter with discretion."
Ying Chong said, "Sect Leader, do you think that Huanyang school is sincere to Shangchen?"
Yu Lingbi didn't answer. Of course, Huanyang school would not treat Shangchen well. Not only did they not provide any support, but they had also been ruthlessly oppressing them. If Huanyang school existed today, Shangchen would never be able to recover. But the situation was like this, so they could only endure it. It was better than being wiped out by Tianxia.
But to say that You City and Shenzhao Pai treated Shangchen well, that was not necessarily true. But at least these two sects did not kick a person when he was down.
Moreover, if they got rid of Huanyang, the three sects could unite. Maybe You City and Shenzhao Pai could reach a balance. Shangchen could benefit from both sides. Maybe their situation would be better.
She said, "Elder Ying, what is your suggestion?"
Ying Chong said, "My suggestion is not important. The two Shangzun came together to ask for an answer. I wonder which one is the Sect Leader biased?" The two of them came together to show that they had the same opinion, and also to put pressure on Shangchen, forcing Shangchen to make the necessary choice this time.
Yu Lingbi thought for a while and decided, "Elder Ying, we can agree to this, but we can't agree without any reason. You go and talk with them. It must be beneficial to Shangchen."
Ying Chong answered, "Yes."
After the exchange, he raised his head and said, "Shangzun, Shangchen can agree to this, but we need a promise."
Li Mishen understood what he meant and said, "That's reasonable." He said slowly, "If we can get rid of this, the three sects will support each other. We will not treat Shangchen like Huanyang school."
Taoist Xian Ding said, "As Fellow Daoist Li said, we will do our best to help Shangchen recover and fight against foreign enemies. Can your sect rest assured?"
Ying Chong couldn't make the two of them swear an oath, but there was no need to. After the two of them made a promise, as long as it didn't involve their lives, they usually wouldn't go back on their words.
He saluted and said, "I'll arrange it right away. But if I don't take care of Huan Yang Sect while I'm moving, Guan Zun might be able to detect it in advance. Since my martial arts are shallow, I hope the two of you can cover up a little."
In fact, in his heart, it might be better without Huanyang school.
It wasn't that he was dissatisfied with Huanyang school's oppression, but Huanyang school was too conspicuous. If they separated, Tianxia might not come to them again. Even if he did, he wouldn't put in much effort, so they had more chances of survival.
Taoist Xian Ding said, "You can rest assured. We will clean up the mess for you, but you must hurry. Tianxia didn't come with good intentions. We don't have much time to waste."
Ying Chong saluted again.
Seeing that he agreed, the two of them dispersed and left.
Ying Chong, on the other hand, didn't hesitate at all. He sat on the horizontal branch and communicated with the Fish Spirit Wall inside the Heavenly Branch. He began to circulate his magic power with all his might, pushing the Clear Spirit Heavenly Branch to another place.
Shangchen had been doing this for a long time. Not to mention that the Cymbidium Lucidum could create its own space, the entire Heavenly Branch and the people and things attached to it could be moved to another place.
Above the Refining Space and Punishing Yang, Guan Chaosheng didn't know what Xian Ding and Li Mishen were doing behind his back. But even if he knew, he didn't have the time to care. What he needed to do now was to kill Bai Ran and Qing Shuo as soon as possible.
Under his constant use of the Refining Space and Punishing Yang power, the Qi of Clear Sky on the two of them was being stripped away layer by layer. But once it was exhausted, they could only face the light of the Treasure of Dao with their own bodies. They might not even last a few breaths.
As the three of them fought, the Enlightened Masters of Huanyang school, including the Elders, just watched them fight. None of them came to help.
This was because once the power of Punishing Yang reached a certain level, it was no longer something they could handle. Besides, they couldn't interfere with the fight between three cultivators who had plucked high-grade fruits of merit. That was why they could only set up formations outside and wait. None of them called for Xian Ding or Li Mishen to help. This was because they were afraid of Guan Chaosheng and didn't dare to act on their own.
For a long time, the Huanyang school had a clear hierarchy. The three Ancestral Masters were not in the world, so there was no need to talk about it. The Treasure of Dao Guarding Yang was ranked first. All the activities in the sect revolved around this item, and it was also the foundation of Huanyang school. That was why the three masters who controlled the Huanyang were at the top, and those below them were the Elders, normal Enlightened Masters, disciples, and so on.
Only when the upper echelons were full would the lower echelons get their turn. This rule had already seeped into the hearts and minds of all the cultivators in Huanyang school. To them, regardless of whether they could win against Guan Chaosheng or not, Bai Heng and Qing Shuo were first and foremost Guan Chaosheng's prey. Once they melted, they would naturally become his resources. If he didn't ask them to help, they could only watch from the side.
At that moment, under Guan Chaosheng's continuous pressure, Bai Heng and Qing Shuo's Clear Sky Aura was only left with the thinnest layer. It looked like it would be completely stripped away in a moment, but at that moment, a great ray of clear light sliced through the air and instantly pierced through the obstruction of the Light of Tribulation Yang to land on the two of them. At the same time, the Clear Sky Aura that had been weakened to the point of almost non-existence was replenished in the blink of an eye.
A grave expression appeared on Guan Chaosheng's face. This ray of support had clearly come from Tianxia. This clearly told him that Tianxia had already found this place.
However, he could also tell that Tianxia could not come over for the time being, or else there would be no need for him to do this. Besides, these two people should be Tianxia's anchors, which was why he needed to maintain their existence.
If that was the case, his goal and strategy would not change.
A sharp light shone in his eyes, and he took out a seal. This time, he paid a price so that he could control even more of the Refining Space and Solar Kalpa Realm's power. As his body faded away slightly, the light from the entire Refining Space and Solar Kalpa Realm erupted with a flash, and the air alternated between being bright and dark.
Taoist Qing Shuo was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. He was forced by the Solar Kalpa Realm, and the Clear Sky Aura that he had just replenished was instantly reduced.
He calmly made some deductions and realized that it was impossible for him to withstand this attack, so he immediately sent all of his Vital Qi and Clear Sky Aura to Bai Heng. Without a defense, he was reduced to ashes in a flash of light.
Guan Chaosheng refined him. He originally wanted to find the place where his divine Qi would reside, but when his Qi fell, he realized that the area in front of him was empty. It seemed like he did not intend to return immediately, so he was naturally less connected to the outside world.
However, it did not matter. With one less person, the remaining person would be easy to deal with.
Just as he was prepared to turn around and deal with Taoist Bai Heng, he saw him smile faintly. A wisp of green Qi floated out from his body, and in the blink of an eye, Taoist Qing Shuo stood to the side once more. He was completely unharmed.
Even though they had split off from Zhang Yu's main body, their Empty God came from the same place. Hence, if any one of them was destroyed and returned, there was a possibility that someone would find the place where they would reside. Hence, they had to do their best to avoid this.
However, there was no need for them to do this. In a battle, as long as one of them was present and entrusted their Yuan Qi to the other in time, then even if their bodies were destroyed, they could use the other person's help to rematerialize their bodies.
This was especially so when they had the Clear Sky Aura to rely on. This could be seen as them forming a yin and yang relationship. If they wanted to break this, they would have to kill both of them. However, they did not care if they could defeat Guan Chaosheng. As long as they could delay and hold on until Tianxia arrived, it would be enough.
At this moment, above the Clear Sky Cloud Sea, Chen Yu could not see the specific scene of the battle. However, as the head deacon, he could roughly sense the current situation through the response of the Clear Sky Aura. However, his expression was solemn.
In his opinion, although Bai Heng and Qing Shuo could still hold on, it would take a long time for Tianxia to arrive. He had to find a way to provide more support. He thought for a while and said in a deep voice, "Lin Tingzhi, activate the Qi Crossing Jade Mirror with all your strength."
Lin Tingzhi was shocked. The Qi Crossing Jade Mirror was the only magic tool that could send the Clear Sky Aura. If he used it at all costs and forcefully transferred the aura, this magic tool might not be able to hold on for long. However, he did not hesitate and immediately obeyed the order. He silently performed the incantation in his heart. The light on the mirror shone brightly. An even more magnificent Clear Sky Aura suddenly crossed the sky and landed on the other side!
