Inside the headquarters of the Tenmu Temple in Anzhou, everything seemed to be in order. Martial artists in uniform were patrolling in the air. The guards checked the jade talismans of the martial artists who came in and out to do things. After checking that there were no errors, they were let go one by one.
There was a sense of peace in the bustle.
But in the next moment, this orderly peace was broken by a red and white talisman light. The moment the red and white talisman light swept across the sky and landed in the headquarters of the Tenmu Temple, the patrolling martial artists in the sky instantly turned pale with fright and cried out in surprise.
To be honest, the Tenmu Temple's territory covered four prefectures and was extremely vast. If it were in the secular world, it would be an extremely vast empire.
Every day, various Message Talismans that reported the situation, asked for instructions, and gave orders flew all over the sky. These patrolling martial artists had already become numb to seeing these Message Talismans every day. For example, in this short period of time, four or five green talisman lights flew across the sky, each looking for the location where the Spirit's aura left on it fell.
But today, for the first time, they were shocked by a talisman light.
"Pure Gold Warning Talisman? It's actually the Tenmu Temple's highest crisis level Pure Gold Warning Talisman? Where and which province is there an extremely urgent war? " A knowledgeable patrolling martial artist looked at the Pure Gold Warning Talisman that fell into a palace of the Tenmu Temple and explained to his colleagues who did not know what was going on. He seemed to be showing off a little.
Without waiting for him to finish his words, a rather old patrolling martial artist in the team sighed, "Is it a Pure Gold Warning Talisman? How many years has it been since I last saw it? I still remember that the last time I saw this Pure Gold Warning Talisman was 108 years ago.
"Oh, that's right. That year, the Province Lord rebelled, and even the old Palace Master was alarmed. I remember that there were only three Ninth Level Star Venerates who died in the palace. There were also dozens of Early and Middle Level Star Venerates who died.
After a hundred years, the Pure Gold Warning Talisman has reappeared. I just don't know what happened this time … "
Clang!
Just as the patrolling old man was sighing, an ear-piercing sound of a golden gong suddenly spread throughout the Tenmu Temple. It seemed that even the buildings of the Tenmu Temple were shaking.
At the instant the patrolling old man's expression changed, he saw figures rush out from the various cultivation rooms of the Tenmu Temple, which occupied a large mountain peak. They headed straight for the crimson gold warning talisman light at the peak of the mountain and entered the palace.
While the group of patrolling cultivators were shocked, the old man shouted again, "Keep your eyes peeled. Something big must have happened. If the Left and Right Palace Masters find a mistake, it will be too late for regrets."
While the patrolling cultivators were still in awe, over a hundred figures had already gathered in front of the Sky Martial Palace's Sky Martial Hall. Two cultivators wearing almost the same clothes and looking almost identical walked out of the Sky Martial Hall.
"Greetings, Left and Right Palace Masters!" When the two warriors who looked almost identical walked out, hundreds of Star-monarch realm warriors bowed to them at the same time. Their power was enough to dazzle the warriors who saw them.
"Mei Zian, the chief of the Supervisory Headquarters, sent a Pure Gold Warning Message from the Yangkou branch hall in Yuanzhou. He said that the Supervisory Headquarters' special envoy in white, Yu Lianggong, was killed on the spot by Ling Dong, the hall master of the Yangkou branch hall.
In addition, nine black-robed law enforcers and four Tiger Guards of Gongsun Zhanyi, Yuanzhou's Region Master, were killed on the spot. In addition, it was confirmed that the hall master of the Yangkou branch hall, Ling Dong, had been exposed for his rebellion. He first murdered the Supervisory Headquarters' special envoy in Yangkou, Yuanzhou, Pi Jianan.
After the Supervisory Headquarters confirmed this, he flew into a rage out of humiliation and killed the two witnesses of Centurion found by the Supervisory Headquarters on the spot. Now, he is confronting Mei Zian. "
At this point, the Left Palace Master showed a pained expression. "Everyone, how long has it been since such a rebellion happened in our Tenmu Temple? You are in charge of the operations of the entire Tenmu Temple. How on earth did Ling Dong become a hall master? "
Listening to the Left Palace Master's nagging, the hundreds of Star-monarch-realm warriors below, including the Right Palace Master, all showed unbearable expressions. Some people even looked directly at the Right Palace Master with pleading eyes. Obviously, they were used to the Left Palace Master's nagging.
In fact, if one looked carefully, there were some differences between the Left and Right Palace Masters. The Right Palace Master had an additional mole on his right eyebrow compared to the Left Palace Master.
"Big Brother, should we wait until we deal with this guy first and then investigate who is responsible? The traitor is powerful. There are more than 30 black-robed law enforcers there. They are the foundation of our Tenmu Temple. "The Right Palace Master couldn't bear to listen and tried to persuade the Left Palace Master.
"Yes, the Right Palace Master is right! However, our Tenmu Temple hasn't seen such a terrible rebellion for over a hundred years. "This time, we must strike hard and crush Ling Dong's betrayal with a thunderous force. We must intimidate both the internal and external members of the Tianwu Palace who have ulterior motives. In addition … (a thousand words are omitted here) "
Seeing this, the Right Palace Master rubbed his eyebrows again in pain. His big brother was good at everything, but he had a bad habit of scolding people. At the beginning, he would talk non-stop, which gave him a headache. However, most of the time, he could only listen.
"Big Brother, the situation is urgent. Don't miss the opportunity …" The Right Palace Master took the opportunity to interrupt the Left Palace Master's endless scolding.
"Yes, the situation is urgent. For the sake of the lives of those black-robed law enforcers, we must … "
"Big Brother, it's the fastest to use the Teleportation Formation. Anyway, Father has just returned. He's in charge of the palace. Let's make a trip there today," the Right Palace Master urged again.
As for the Star Monarch realm martial artists below, they were already used to it. The twin Palace Masters of the Tenmu Temple had always been like this. There were a few times when they had almost caused trouble.
After another round of nagging, under the Right Palace Master's urging, the two Palace Masters led 20 martial artists with late-stage Star Monarch realm cultivation that they had personally selected and quickly headed to the Tenmu Temple's Teleportation Hall.
What they didn't know was that when the 20 of them activated the Teleportation Formation and prepared to teleport, an old man suddenly appeared in the sky above the Teleportation Hall.
"Hey, why is the Teleportation Formation to Yuanzhou occupied? This won't do. Once this long-distance Teleportation Formation is activated, it can't be completed without 15 minutes. Oh, that's right, Yuanzhou is close to Lai Prefecture. I'll go to Lai Prefecture first, then I'll go there. "
The old man muttered before his figure vanished abruptly, and he appeared within another teleportation hall. As he activated the teleportation grand formation, he grumbled. "Really! Why didn't this fellow speak more clearly? Also, isn't this request too arrogant? He even said that we'll have to bear the consequences if we're late. Sigh … "
After letting out a long sigh, the old man tightened his grip on the jade talisman in his hand. The words in the talisman, "This is urgent. Come quickly. You'll have to bear the consequences if you're late!" were the reason why he was so anxious at this moment.
It was also because the contents of the talisman had embarrassed him that he didn't alert the others and went there quietly. As he activated the Teleportation Formation, the old man sighed again. "Sigh, there's nothing I can do. Although my life isn't in that kid's hands, who asked me to ask for his help?"
As he muttered, the old man's figure suddenly became illusory.
The strange situation in front of the Ling family castle's gate was still ongoing.
Ling Dong's side had seven Celestial Monarchs, and almost all of them were at the early stage of the Celestial Monarch Realm. In addition, there was a seemingly old half-step Zhou Tian God. However, the thirty-three middle-stage Celestial Monarchs and two late-stage Celestial Monarchs on the other side were still very nervous.
Even though Ling Dong's side didn't do anything and was even chatting, the Tenmu Temple's cultivators, led by the Chief of the Supervisory Headquarters, Mei Zian, and Yuanzhou's Region Lord, Gongsun Zhanyi, were all on guard. Even though they were two miles away, they still propped up their protective aura and didn't dare to relax in the slightest.
This was especially so for Gongsun Zhanyi. From time to time, he would look at Ling Dong and Bai Bai Xuan, who were chatting and laughing, out of the corner of his eye. He was afraid that one of them would act on a whim and teach Yu Lianggong a lesson. In the end, he wouldn't even know how he died.
Chief Mei of the Supervisory Headquarters, Mei Zian, who was beside Gongsun Zhanyi, looked at Ling Dong and Bai Bai Xuan, who were chatting and laughing in the distance, with a look of disappointment and confusion.
Chief Mei was very puzzled. Since Bai Bai Xuan and Ling Dong knew that he had issued the Tenmu Temple's highest-level red gold warning talisman, why weren't they nervous or even responding to it?
Under normal circumstances, knowing that a large number of powerful reinforcements were coming, they should be afraid, worried, and asking for help. They should even make the first move to gain the upper hand. This was normal.
However, Ling Dong on the other side knew this and didn't do anything. As the saying went, if things were abnormal, there must be a demon. This situation made Chief Mei feel an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
"Seeing Island Master Bai's Void Finger Talisman today, I'm really envious. You killed a Celestial Monarch with one finger. I'm afraid that Zhou Tianshen can't compare to you … "Ling Dong and Bai Bai Xuan were taking advantage of this free time to talk about the ancient talisman cultivator's Void Finger Talisman.
As for the Tenmu Temple's reinforcements, no one cared about them. After a few words, the two of them talked about the inheritance of the ancient talisman cultivators.
"Ah, I'm dissatisfied with Young Master Ling. This old man only has two long-cherished wishes in this life. One is that my son will become a dragon and be safe. Now, it has barely been realized. The second is the inheritance of the ancient talisman cultivators. This old man really doesn't want the inheritance of the ancient talisman cultivators to end in my hands. If that's the case, this old man won't have the face to see my master in the underworld … "Bai Bai Xuan couldn't help but sigh when talking about the inheritance of the ancient talisman cultivators.
"Inheritance? Isn't that simple? Find a few people with good Spirit aptitude and slowly teach them. One of them will become a talent," Ling Dong casually replied.
"It's difficult! Young Master Ling, you don't know the cruelty of the ancient talisman cultivators! Out of ten ancient talisman cultivators, eight or even nine of them will die from the backlash of the Heavenly Dao Law when they cultivate the ancient talisman cultivators.
Back then, my master had a total of 19 senior and junior brothers. This old man was the youngest, but also the one who lived the longest. Twelve of the 19 senior and junior brothers died after a hundred years.
All those years ago, I relied on Master's favor and obtained a soul treasure of Master's to protect myself, and that was how I was able to survive. Unfortunately, less than 200 years after Master gave that treasure to me, I suffered backlash from the Laws of the Heaven Dao during a cultivation and perished …. "
Bai Bai Xuan paused for a moment and said, "It can be seen how difficult it is to pass on the ancient talisman cultivators. Now, my standards for accepting disciples are getting lower and lower. As long as I explain the dangers, no one dares to cultivate it … "
Ling Dong's heart moved. If he asked Bai Bai Xuan to pass on the ancient talisman cultivators to him, would Bai Bai Xuan agree? Ling Dong's conditions were unique when it came to cultivating the ancient talisman cultivators.
"This subordinate greets the Left and Right Palace Masters. Palace Masters, you're here!" Just as Ling Dong was about to speak, Chief Mei's pleasantly surprised voice rang out. Chief Mei and Gongsun Zhanyi had already stood up and flew into the air to greet the group of martialists with heavy killing intent.
