75: Chapter 75: The Yinluo Sect Appears
Above Wanbao Pavilion, the atmosphere was so heavy it felt as if it could condense into water.
Six figures stood suspended in the air, their auras as deep as abysses and vast as oceans, looking down at the gathering place of the Six Sects below.
Behind them, a dense crowd of Foundation Establishment Cultivators had already surrounded the entire area, sealing it off completely.
Inside the room, Xiao Yuan watched this scene through the window, his palms sweating.
"Six Golden Cores..." he muttered. "They are planning to wipe out the Six Sects in one fell swoop."
He felt incredibly unlucky, and he had also miscalculated the determination of the Jing Country Imperial Family. They were willing to make enemies of the Six Sects just to keep their secret safe!
Yun Feiyang's face was grim, Lin Qingxue bit her lip, and the little Junior Sister who had just been rescued was trembling all over in fear.
Just at this moment!
Five figures soared into the sky from different directions of Wanbao Pavilion!
Five Golden Core experts stood suspended in mid-air, confronting the six people opposite them!
"Fellow Daoists, what is the meaning of this?" a white-haired old man said in a deep voice. He was a Golden Core Elder of the Wanfa Sect. "Why have you sent people to surround the gathering place of our Six Sects? Could it be that the Jing Country Imperial Family wishes to become enemies with our Six Sects?"
Leading the opposite side was an old man in brocade robes with a majestic bearing. He was clearly a Golden Core expert of the Jing Country Imperial Family—Prince Zhennan of Jing, Prince Zhenshan of Jing.
He smiled slightly and cupped his hands, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, you misunderstand. We have only come to investigate the break-in at Prince Rong's Mansion. Someone infiltrated Prince Rong's Mansion, killed our mansion guards, and took the prisoner. We only ask that you hand over the culprits, and have absolutely no intention of making enemies of the Six Sects."
Elder Zhou of the Wanfa Sect frowned. "Are you implying that those who broke into Prince Rong's Mansion are Disciples of our Six Sects?"
Prince Zhenshan of Jing nodded. "Indeed, they are Disciples of the Tianjian Sect. As long as the Tianjian Sect hands them over, we will withdraw immediately and trouble you no further."
The Golden Core experts of the other four sects exchanged glances, their expressions turning subtle.
The Tianjian Sect's business had nothing to do with them.
A middle-aged female Cultivator from the Jade Maiden Palace spoke up, "Since it was done by Disciples of the Tianjian Sect, then please let the Jing Country Imperial Family handle it yourselves. We will not interfere."
The Elder of Spirit Beast Mountain also nodded. "That is only right."
The Golden Cores of Xuanyin Hall and Medicine King Valley voiced their agreement one after another, staying out of a matter that did not concern them.
The Golden Core expert of the Tianjian Sect had not yet returned! The faces of the Tianjian Sect Disciples changed drastically, their eyes filled with despair.
A flash of smugness crossed Prince Zhenshan of Jing's eyes, and he waved his hand. "Seize the Tianjian Sect Disciples!"
Below, countless Foundation Establishment Cultivators were about to move—
Just at this moment!
Boom!
A terrifying Sword Intent descended from the heavens!
"Who dares to touch the Disciples of my Tianjian Sect!"
A figure in white tore through the air, Sword Qi crisscrossing as it slashed directly in front of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators who were about to charge, forcing them all to retreat!
The Golden Core expert of the Tianjian Sect—Sword Fanatic Sword Obsessive Liu Changqing! Mid Golden Core Stage!
He landed in front of the Tianjian Sect Disciples, his gaze like a sword, piercing straight toward Prince Zhenshan of Jing!
"Prince Zhenshan of Jing, what are you trying to do by laying down a Killing and Refining Grand Array around us?" Sword Obsessive Liu Changqing's voice was ice-cold, each word sounding like the chime of a sword. "Are you planning to refine everyone from the Six Sects right here?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked!
"What?!"
Elder Zhou of the Wanfa Sect's face changed drastically. He swept his Divine Sense around—indeed! Around Wanbao Pavilion, there were faint ripples of array runes, which was precisely the aura of a refining grand array!
"Prince Zhenshan of Jing!" the female Cultivator of the Jade Maiden Palace shouted sharply. "What is the meaning of this?!"
Prince Zhenshan of Jing's face shifted slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Liu, you misunderstand. This grand array is merely to prevent the culprits from escaping, and is not targeted at the Six Sects."
"Bullshit!" Sword Obsessive Liu Changqing sneered. "To capture a few Disciples, you need to deploy a refining grand array? You need six Golden Cores to arrive together? You need hundreds of Foundation Establishments to surround us? Do you take us for three-year-old children?"
The Golden Cores of the other four sects also sensed that something was wrong, and they all became vigilant.
Just then—
A figure rose from below.
Yun Feiyang took a deep breath, flew on his sword to Sword Obsessive Liu Changqing, and bowed. "Old Ancestor, this Disciple has something to report."
Sword Obsessive Liu Changqing glanced at him. "Speak."
Yun Feiyang grit his teeth and said loudly, "We broke into Prince Rong's Mansion because our little Junior Sister was captured by them! And beneath Prince Rong's Mansion, there is a massive underground palace where hundreds of captured Cultivators are imprisoned!"
His voice grew louder and louder so that everyone present could hear:
"That place is the lair of the Yinsha Cult! And the Yinsha Cult specializes in capturing Cultivators to refine earth-grade foundation establishment pills using their Spiritual Roots! Those they capture are not just Loose Cultivators, but also Disciples of the Six Sects!"
"What?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire crowd went into an uproar!
Refining pills with the Spiritual Roots of Cultivators?! This was a Demonic Path practice, absolutely intolerable by heaven and earth!
Elder Zhou of the Wanfa Sect glared at Prince Zhenshan of Jing. "Prince Zhenshan of Jing! What is going on?!"
Prince Zhenshan of Jing's face was dark, and he did not speak.
Yun Feiyang continued, "After I rescued our little Junior Sister, I heard her say it with my own ears! Looking at it now, I'm afraid the Jing Country Imperial Family is the one behind the Yinsha Cult!"
Boom—
This completely caused a massive explosion of outrage!
"Jing Country Imperial Family, how dare you do such a thing!"
"No wonder you deployed a refining grand array; you want to silence us all!"
"How ruthless!"
The Golden Cores of the Six Sects shouted in anger one after another, spiritual energy surging around them as they prepared to strike at any moment!
How could they not see it? The other side had mobilized such a force clearly because they were worried the matter would be exposed, and they were planning to kill everyone to silence them.
Seeing that the matter had been exposed, Prince Zhenshan of Jing simply stopped pretending.
He sneered, "Since you already know, then there is nothing left to say."
He looked around, madness flashing in his eyes. "As long as we keep all of you here, no one will ever know about this!"
Sword Obsessive Liu Changqing was so angry he laughed. "Prince Zhenshan of Jing, if you kill us, are you not afraid of having no way to give an account to the Six Sects?!"
After all, they had come to the Imperial Capital of Jing to carry out a mission. If they all died in the Imperial Capital, the Six Sects would definitely investigate.
No matter how powerful the Jing Country Imperial Family was, could they really contend against the Six Sects?!
A look of mockery appeared on Prince Zhenshan of Jing's face. "Heh... An account? Why would we need to give an account? The one who killed you is the Yinluo Sect. What does that have to do with my Jing Country Imperial Family?!"
As soon as he said this, the faces of the Cultivators from the Six Sects changed drastically!
If Prince Zhenshan of Jing really did this, the Six Sects might actually believe it. After all, the Yinluo Sect was also going to participate in the Tianyuan Secret Realm, and the Yinluo Sect was powerful.
If it weren't for the Six Sects standing together against them, the Yinluo Sect might even have monopolized the Tianyuan Secret Realm.
If they went mad, they really might wipe out the Six Sects!
However, for the Jing Country Imperial Family to dare shift the blame onto them, were they not afraid of the Yinluo Sect causing trouble for them?!
"Prince Zhenshan of Jing, are you not afraid that once the Yinluo Sect finds out about this, they will seek trouble with your Jing Country Imperial Family and annihilate you?!" Sword Obsessive Liu Changqing shouted coldly.
Before his voice could fade!
A sinister laugh rang out.
"Hehehehehe...!"
Along with the voice, a black-robed figure appeared out of thin air, floating beside Prince Zhenshan of Jing.
The newcomer wore black robes, had a sinister face, and possessed a cold and eerie aura that was stronger than anyone present!
Late Golden Core Stage!
"Blood Fiend Old Daoist of the Yinluo Sect!" Elder Zhou of the Wanfa Sect's pupils contracted sharply!
Blood Fiend Old Daoist grinned, revealing his forest-white teeth. "Fellow Daoist Zhou, long time no see."
He looked at the shocked Golden Cores of the Six Sects and said slowly, "Don't you want to know why the Jing Country Imperial Family dares to do this?"
He spread his hands. "Because, they are people of our Yinluo Sect."
Dead silence filled the area!
"What?!"
"The Yinluo Sect is a demonic sect! The Jing Country Imperial Family has sided with a demonic sect?!"
Old Ancestor Blood Fiend laughed sinisterly. "Now you know? Unfortunately—"
He waved his hand, and the surrounding refining grand array instantly activated, a blood-colored light barrier enveloping the entire Wanbao Pavilion within it!
"Today, not a single one of you will escape."
He looked at Prince Zhenshan of Jing and said calmly, "Do it. Leave none alive."
