Zhang XiaoFan for a moment did not understand why he praised himself, also did not know what the word 'good' in his words referred to, unconsciously felt somewhat stunned. But that white-attired youth did not seem to intend to explain, his hand gently waved, the ancient Zhu Xian sword that was lying on the ground, suddenly seemed to be supported by an invisible force, flew up.
The white-attired youth stared at the ancient sword and then looked at Zhang XiaoFan, quietly said, "Child, this Zhu Xian power is a mystical supreme power that seizes Heaven and Earth's creation, can kill celestials and exterminate demons, destroy heaven and earth, it should not exist in the mortal world but since it is already here, it will eventually need a master."
While speaking, Zhu Xian ancient sword like a floating duckweed, carried by the wind, floated before Zhang XiaoFan.
Zhang XiaoFan was stunned, looked at that white-attired youth, for a moment did not know what to say, after a long while said, "Senior, you …"
The white-attired youth smiled and said, "Why do you think you can come here? Actually it is because this sword summoned you, so to say, you are the fated one. "
Zhang XiaoFan shook his head repeatedly, said, "Senior, you and DaoXuan … Shibo, both of you are astonishing geniuses, matchless intelligence, one in a million, surpassing disciple by thousands and tens of thousands times, both of you are unable to truly grasp this Zhu Xian power, disciple is foolish, how can I bear this great responsibility?"
The white-attired youth smiled and said, "Whether you can bear it or not, you will know when you pick up this Zhu Xian ancient sword, this Zhu Xian power is not an ordinary thing in the mortal world, naturally it is also not something that can be controlled by human skills."
Zhang XiaoFan was stunned, looked at the white-attired youth, said, "Senior what do you mean by this?"
The white-attired youth smiled and said, "Since ancient times, to have the opportunity to comprehend four of the five 'Tian Shu' volumes, only you alone. If not so, out of the billions of living beings in the world, why is only you able to feel this Zhu Xian ancient sword's summoning? "
The more Zhang XiaoFan heard, the more shocked he became, cried out, "What, don't tell me senior you mean to say this Zhu Xian ancient sword is …"
The white-attired youth smiled and nodded, cut in, "Exactly, Zhu Xian ancient sword is the legendary fifth volume 'Tian Shu'!" At this point, his face suddenly darkened again, but very quickly, he recovered his calmness, and faintly said, "Moreover, the key to truly being able to control the power of Zhu Xian, is not the level of one's cultivation, the most important, is instead the heart."
Zhang XiaoFan was puzzled, said, "Why is that?"
The young man in white said, "The power of Celestial Execution is far beyond the ordinary, the controller can easily look down on the world, invincible. Once such a fearsome and terrifying power is in one's hands, one will often unknowingly indulge in it, and in the end, one will be devoured by the demons in one's heart and become the slave of the Celestial Execution."
He sighed softly, said, "At that time me and DaoXuan senior brother were confident that we were unparalleled in the world, supercilious, little did we know that in the end, we still could not resist the demons in our hearts, only those who have truly experienced thousands of tribulations, setbacks and failures, a heart tempered into steel, can be the true master of this Zhu Xian power!"
Zhu Xian ancient sword, slowly floated in front of Zhang XiaoFan, far away, the white-attired youth's figure started to sway, gradually blurred but his voice, was still clearly heard, "Child, properly grasp this power, when you truly understand the meaning of that sentence in Tian Shu, you will understand everything …"
The next moment, the white figure dissipated, almost at the same time, Zhang XiaoFan solemnly and slowly stretched out his hand, grabbed the hilt of Zhu Xian ancient sword.
Five fingers, closed!
[Rumble!]
Like a lifetime of thunder, suddenly exploded beside his ears, tearing the entire firmament apart, lightning rays scurried, the wind and clouds rolled, above the firmament, the illusory moonlight flourished, seven colors flashed incessantly, converged into a huge light pillar, descended from the sky, enveloping Zhang XiaoFan's figure within.
"Heh ah …"
A long howl, the sound went into the clouds, Zhang XiaoFan flew backwards, landed on that altar, the seven colourful pillars lit up at the same time, the light pillar like a dragon, vigorous and vigorous churning in the air, as if cheering wildly.
In the depths of the light, Zhang XiaoFan's figure seemed to become blurry, his movements could be vaguely seen, slowly lifting up Zhu Xian ancient sword, as the ancient sword rose, the wind and clouds in the firmament rotated more and more rapidly, that colourful energy sword that represented the peerless Zhu Xian power, once again appeared, looking disdainfully at the world, insufferably arrogant!
Around that enormous sword in the sky, under the illumination of the illusory moonlight, in the empty void, a row of huge golden words slowly appeared, each of them were hundreds of zhang in size, from the sky straight down to the ground, extremely spectacular.
Heaven and Earth heartless, treating all living things as straw dogs!
The wind and clouds surged, Heaven and Earth rustled, deep within the light, that gaze, stared deeply at the firmament!
Qing Yun Hill, TongTian Peak.
Looking out from the top of Heaven's Bridge Peak, the sky in the distance was no longer as blue and empty as it used to be. At this moment, a violent blood-red light enveloped the horizon, turning into heavy dark clouds that pressed down on Heaven's Bridge Peak.
Qing Yun Sect was in chaos, the Evil Faction's sudden invasion this time, its ferocity was beyond anyone's expectations, in a short period of time, the Good Faction had already suffered heavy losses, eight or nine out of ten of their elites were gone, the most terrifying thing was, these eight or nine out of ten Good Faction elites, were actually bewitched by the Evil Faction Ghost King Sect's unknown mysterious evil magic, and instead became Ghost King's hired thugs, not recognising even their own kin, turned back to massacre the Good Faction Taoist friends.
The Good Faction's absolute advantage against the Evil Faction, suddenly reversed, and Ghost King seemed to think this was not enough, unleashed even more evil magic, actually bewitched all the commoners and residents who were heading towards Qing Yun Road and Qing Yun Hill mountain range, became his murderous weapons that only knew how to kill, the number of people had already exceeded a hundred thousand, the might was so great, compared to the Demon Beasts disaster that was known as the Heaven and Earth calamity, it was even more powerful.
And here at Qing Yun Sect, it was only Qing Yun Sect's own disciples and some of the Good Faction's remaining Taoist friends, the famous big sects' elites were all gone, even for Tian Yin Temple this kind of influential family, right now only a few monks came over, among them were Abbot PuHong Master, PuKong Divine Monk and the younger generation FaXiang, FaShan etc. In the crowd of monks, there was another withered old monk, silent, always standing beside PuHong Master.
Hearing that the Tian Yin Temple monks had arrived, there was a commotion in Qing Yun Sect, for so many years, Tian Yin Temple had always been on good terms with Qing Yun Sect, every time there was a disaster, they would stand side by side against the enemy, immediately everyone came out to welcome them, just that after seeing the Tian Yin Temple monks, they couldn't help but be speechless.
Lining up in front of the Qing Yun Sect people, other than Xiao YiCai who was temporarily handling the affairs, it was Qing Yun Sect's current highest seniority, Return of the Wind Valley head Zeng ShuChang and Small Bamboo Valley head ShuiYue Master. Zeng ShuChang looked over, not only did the Tian Yin Temple monks looked travel-worn but most of the monks had bloodstains on them, evidently before they came here, they had already gone through one or a few tough battles, and thinking about the number of Tian Yin Temple monks, only these few came, could it be …
Zeng ShuChang stepped forward, hesitated for a moment, said, "Puhong Master, you all … this …"
Puhong Master was instead very calm, placed his palms together and returned the greeting, faintly said, "This time the calamity has happened again, the world's living beings are in misery and suffering, our temple monks initially wanted to save the common people, however as the Dao rises one foot, the Devil rises ten zhang, most of the disciples have already passed on."
After speaking, he softly chanted, "Amitabha", Zeng ShuChang was speechless and then revealed a pained expression, Xiao YiCai forced himself to be calm, although his heart slowly sank but he still forced a smile and said, "No matter what, it is good that all the masters are here, please go in first."
Puhong Master and the rest of the Tian Yin Temple monks placed their palms together and returned the greeting, immediately everyone walked back to the Crystal Hall, behind them, the blood-red clouds in the horizon, pressed down a few more inches.
Shuiyue Master walked a few steps, suddenly sensed something and turned back to look, Anan who was following beside her had walked to the railing beside the stone steps, leaning on the railing and gazing afar, in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking about. Shuiyue Master was about to call her, suddenly her expression darkened, as if she thought of something, quietly walked over and stood behind Anan, softly called, "XueQi."
Anan's body moved, woke up with a start, turned back and looked at Shuiyue Master, quietly said, "Yes, teacher, disciple will go in now."
After speaking, she turned and was about to walk towards the Crystal Hall, who knew Shuiyue Master's expression flashed past her face, stretched out her hand and grabbed Anan's hand, pulled her back.
Anan was surprised, turned her head and said, "Teacher, what is it?"
Shuiyue Master softly sighed, looked around and saw there was no one around, lowered her voice, softly said, "XueQi, you can leave now."
Anan was surprised, said, "Teacher, where are you asking disciple to go?"
Shuiyue Master turned to the distance, watched the ferocious red clouds rolling over, indifferently said, "Leave Qing Yun Hill, go to the place you want to go, be with the person you miss in your heart, live a good life." She slowly turned and looked at Anan, said, "Don't come back again."
Anan's face turned pale, tears suddenly flashed in her eyes but after a moment, she eventually shook her head, quietly said, "Teacher, I will not go, I want to be with you."
Shuiyue Master gave a bitter laugh, said, "Silly child, teacher has lived for so long, even if I die it is nothing but you are still so young, and also have a person whom you sincerely love, listen to teacher, leave Qing Yun and be with him."
Lu XueQi clenched her teeth, her lips trembling, as if ShuiYue Master's words to her, was an irresistible temptation, engraved in her bones and heart, wasn't it all for that kind of life?
Just that, she eventually still slowly, like it was extremely difficult but eventually still slowly shook her head, then, turned and walked towards the Crystal Hall. Shuiyue Master looked at her frail and frail back, a long sigh, slowly shook her head, her expression sorrowful.
Standing there for a moment, she softly sighed, also walked towards the Crystal Hall, halfway, suddenly she stopped again, looked towards the other corner of the hall's railing, saw in that secluded place, there was another man and woman, quietly standing together, whispering, not knowing what they were talking about.
And those two, the female was ShuiYue Master's disciple WenMin, the male was Big Bamboo Valley Xavion, looking at their expressions, there was a faint tenderness, not much fear of impending death, instead it seemed like they cherished the short time before them even more.
At the very least, the expressions on their faces carried a faint and gentle smile.
Shuiyue Master's heart, seemed to ache again, looked at those two for a long time, silently, slowly walked into the Crystal Hall.
In the Crystal Hall, everyone had already taken their seats, PuHong Master was a person of virtue and prestige, everyone pushed him to sit at the main seat but PuHong Master insisted and in the end still left the main seat empty, everyone took their seats at the two sides.
Zeng ShuChang coughed once, said, "Master, may I ask the vicinity of Tian Yin Temple, was it also attacked by the Evil Sect evil people?"
Pu Hong Master put his palms together, said, "Our Buddha is merciful and blessed, the evil claws for the time being have not harmed the common people near Tian Yin Temple, our temple's monks heard that the Evil Sect evil people are committing sins and killing again, in order to protect the common people of the world, we went to stop them, unexpectedly this time the Evil Sect evil spells are so powerful, actually harmed so many of our disciples, ai … old monk's sin is very heavy."
Qing Yun sect disciples' faces revealed a pained expression, Xiao YiCai consoled, "Master do not blame yourself, all the deceased senior brothers died a worthy death, they should all go to the Western Paradise. The urgent matter now, is still to deal with the current crisis. "
Pu Hong Master sighed, nodded his head and then revealed a hopeful expression, looked at the Qing Yun sect disciples, said, "The situation now is critical, the common people are in deep water and scorching fire, looking at the world, only your esteemed sect DaoXuan senior brother can use the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, display its divine might, can turn the situation around and save the common people, please!"
After speaking, he put his palms together and bowed deeply, who knew that once he said that, the Qing Yun sect disciples looked at each other, all of them speechless, did not know what to say. Very quickly Pu Hong Master realised the situation was not right, asked in shock, "What is it?"
Xiao YiCai laughed bitterly, said, "Master you don't know, there is also an unforeseen event in our Qing Yun sect, teacher he has already ….. disappeared for many days."
Tian Yin Temple monks stirred, Pu Hong Master was stunned, said, "How can it be like this?"
Xiao YiCai revealed a helpless expression, said, "Now that things have come to this, I will not hide it from the masters, ever since the Evil Beast calamity teacher used the Zhu Xian Sword Formation to repel the enemy, he became strange, his actions were different from usual, it is nothing to be strange but teacher he did some ….. strange things and then disappeared, there was no news of him anymore."
Pu Hong Master was speechless, stunned speechless, Reverend DaoXuan's cultivation was remarkable, the whole world looked askance at him, how could he become like this, it was really unimaginable, but Xiao YiCai and the rest were obviously not lying, looking at their awkward expressions, the 'strange' things that they mentioned, were not something that could be easily tolerated but the most important thing was, after Reverend DaoXuan disappeared, what should they do?
Pu Hong Master's expression suddenly changed, looked up at the Qing Yun sect people and said, "Then … I wonder if the Zhu Xian ancient sword is still there, in your esteemed sect, is there another virtuous master who can activate this Zhu Xian Sword Formation?"
This time, Xiao YiCai did not speak, it was Zeng ShuChang who sighed, said, "Master you don't know, the Zhu Xian ancient sword has always been kept by our Qing Yun sect sect head Reverend alone, passed down from generation to generation, outsiders cannot come into contact with it, now the Zhu Xian ancient sword has also disappeared along with Reverend DaoXuan senior brother; other than, activating the Zhu Xian Sword Formation requires Tai Qing's supernatural powers, only exceptional talents are able to cultivate it, in our sect these hundred over years … only Reverend DaoXuan senior brother alone can cultivate to this level, we are ashamed, we have the heart but we are powerless."
Pu Hong Master's last glimmer of hope was dashed, he was stunned for a long while, quietly said, "If it is really so, isn't the defeat already set in stone, the common people are really facing a great calamity?"
Qing Yun sect people were silent, each and every one of their faces solemn, lowered their heads.
Inside the Crystal Hall, the atmosphere for a moment was extremely heavy, who knew at this moment, suddenly a cry of despair was heard from afar, followed by a wave of ferocious roars and roars, like thousands of wild beasts rumbling over.
A Qing Yun disciple with a look of despair stumbled into the Crystal Hall, his voice trembling as he shouted,
"Evil, Evil Sect evil people have killed their way up the mountain …"
Everyone instantly stood up at the same time, each and every one of their faces revealed shock and disbelief, slowly, a feeling of despair pervaded this imposing Crystal Hall.
Could it be, there really was no hope, everything would perish like this?
Behind the crowd, Lu XueQi quietly turned around, gazed into the distance, there was no fear on her face, only a faint gentle longing.
