553: Chapter 553 Mutual Attacks? Is it a Lie?

"From the Taixuan Holy Land... Quenching Fire?

And many Taixuan Elders, why are they here?"

The Holy Lord Tianyang was somewhat puzzled upon seeing this.

At that moment, an angry voice suddenly rang out.

"It was you, Taiyin and Xuanqing Holy Lands, who sent people to attack my son together!"

"If you don't give me an explanation today, I'm not finished with your Taiyin Holy Land!"

Immediately after, a streak of deep red light tore through the Void Realm, whistling as it flew toward them.

It landed beside the Cultivators of both sides.

As the light dissipated, the figure of a red-robed old man appeared.

He was indeed the hurriedly arriving Quenching Fire.

Upon seeing the Taiyin Holy Master,

Quenching Fire burned with rage.

With his naturally explosive temper, he could hardly restrain himself from attacking immediately.

Following closely, several more streaks of light flew in after Quenching Fire.

The other Taixuan Elders also surrounded them aggressively, looking at the Taiyin Holy Master and shouting sternly:

"Several of my Disciples were also attacked by Cultivators from your Taiyin Holy Land!"

"We have come today to settle the score with you!"

"Taiyin Holy Master, your Taiyin Holy Land is truly full of wickedness.

To think you didn't just attack our Tianyang Disciples,

but even attacked the Taixuan Disciples?

You must be tired of living!"

Hearing this, the Holy Lord Tianyang became quite excited.

The strength of their Tianyang Cultivators and the Taiyin Cultivators was roughly equal.

Normally, even if they went to war, they wouldn't have the upper hand.

Moreover, they were on the Taiyin Holy Land's territory,

which put them at an even greater disadvantage.

But now, things were different.

The Taixuan Elders were also here to settle accounts with the Taiyin Holy Land.

Although the Taixuan Holy Master hadn't come,

having the help of the Taixuan Elders was enough.

By joining forces, they could surely defeat these Taiyin Elders

and avenge the attack on their Disciples.

Hearing this, the Taiyin Holy Master felt incredibly aggrieved, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood: "This is too much! This is simply too much!"

"Our Taiyin Holy Land never made a move against your Disciples!

On the contrary, both your Taixuan and Tianyang Holy Lands sent people to attack our Disciples.

And now you have the nerve to turn it around and say we attacked your Disciples!"

By all that is holy,

their Taiyin Holy Land hadn't done anything at all!

Immediately, the Taiyin Holy Master turned toward the Taiyin Realm behind him and shouted:

"Xuanqing Holy Master, come out and help us already!"

"I'm coming!"

A middle-aged Cultivator in white robes flew out from within the Taiyin Realm.

He was indeed the Xuanqing Holy Master.

Behind him, he also brought several Xuanqing Elders.

The Xuanqing Holy Master had arrived at the Taiyin Holy Land a few hours ago.

He had come to discuss the matter of their Xuanqing Disciples also being attacked by Taixuan Cultivators.

After all, in their eyes, the Taixuan Holy Master was too powerful,

and they didn't dare to confront him directly at his door.

So they had decided to discuss privately what should be done next.

"As expected, your two great Holy Lands have already colluded in secret!"

Quenching Fire exclaimed in realization upon seeing the Xuanqing Holy Master.

"Quenching Fire, you misunderstand!

We never made a move against your Disciples!"

The Xuanqing Holy Master shook his head and denied it.

Quenching Fire countered:

"The culprit used the Legacy Cultivation Techniques of your two Holy Lands.

And you still say you didn't?"

"Quenching Fire is right.

Our Tianyang Holy Land detected spiritual energy fluctuations caused by the Taiyin Holy Land's Legacy Cultivation Techniques."

The Holy Lord Tianyang said in agreement.

"Hmph, our Taiyin Holy Land also detected spiritual energy fluctuations from the Legacy Cultivation Techniques of your two Holy Lands.

It was definitely your two Holy Lands that attacked our Disciples!"

The Taiyin Holy Master's tone was unfriendly.

If not for his wariness of the Taixuan Holy Master,

he would have attacked Quenching Fire long ago.

But the current situation was very unfavorable for them.

After all, if the Tianyang Holy Land and Taixuan Holy Land joined forces,

how could they possibly withstand them?

Although the Xuanqing Holy Master had come,

he had only brought a few Elders.

They were outnumbered two to one.

"Impossible, how could our Holy Land attack your two Holy Lands!"

"Indeed, our Taixuan Holy Land has always been neutral."

...

The Taixuan Elders didn't believe a word and spoke out directly.

At this moment, a dazzling light of laws erupted from the Holy Lord Tianyang's body as he addressed the Taixuan Elders:

"Fellow Taixuan Daoists, let's not waste any more words.

They are saying this just to confuse the issue. Let's strike together and take them down!"

"Holy Lord Tianyang, you are right!"

Quenching Fire also began to circulate his Power of Law, a red light glowing from his body.

"Hmph, if you want a fight, then a fight you'll get. Don't think I'm afraid of you.

The Taixuan Holy Master hasn't even come.

Do you really think you're a match for us?"

The Taiyin Holy Master and Xuanqing Holy Master also began to circulate their Power of Law.

In an instant, the winds and clouds in the sky changed abruptly.

An earth-shattering battle began immediately.

The Yin spiritual energy within the entire Taiyin Domain became chaotic.

Su Yun, who was currently hidden in the nearby Void Realm, frowned slightly.

Something was wrong.

Something was definitely wrong.

What the Taiyin Holy Master and Xuanqing Holy Master said was very strange.

To claim that his Taixuan Holy Land had also attacked their Disciples.

He had never given such an order,

to have the Elders and Deacons attack the Disciples of the Xuanqing and Taiyin Holy Lands.

Could the Elders have acted on their own?

That was also unlikely.

The Elders didn't seem to have any personal grudges against these two Holy Lands.

Furthermore, according to Elder Liu's report in the Council Hall earlier,

the Elders hadn't gone out much lately.

So this matter was very fishy.

Moreover, the attackers had left behind spiritual energy fluctuations of each Holy Land's Legacy Cultivation Techniques at the scene.

This was almost as if someone were intentionally trying to provoke conflict between their Holy Lands.

So, were the two Holy Masters of Xuanqing and Taiyin actually lying?

Suddenly, Su Yun felt a peculiar fluctuation of Law investigating the situation here.

"This is... a scrying Spell! Who is it?"

He looked in a certain direction,

releasing his powerful Divine Sense.

He immediately sensed a mysterious Power of Law.

That Power of Law was hidden in the surroundings,

making it difficult to detect.

"I can't even find the source!

Could it be that the person scrying isn't nearby,

but in a much further place?"

Su Yun's expression became solemn.

Just who was spying on this place?

He had also sensed Cultivators from Middle Region sects coming to investigate the situation earlier.

After all, it was normal to investigate such a large disturbance.

But that scrying Power of Law was very unusual.

The observer was clearly not nearby,

but spying from a very great distance.

What exactly was the observer's purpose?

Spying on the situation within the Taiyin Domain from so far away?

Could it be a Cultivator from a Hidden Sect?

That didn't seem right either.

Hidden Sects generally didn't concern themselves with matters occurring within the Middle Region.

Or could it be a hidden faction?

Could it be that the Xuanqing and Taiyin Holy Masters weren't lying?

So someone was intentionally stirring up disputes between their Holy Lands?

If he hadn't sensed this scrying Law fluctuation,

he really wouldn't have thought of this possibility.

"It seems I must first figure out if the Xuanqing and Taiyin Holy Masters are lying!

However, I still need to be cautious."

Immediately, a glint flashed in Su Yun's eyes, and with a casual wave of his hand,

the Heavenly Illusion Power enveloped an area of hundreds of miles.

In an instant, he set up an illusion capable of deceiving that scrying power.

Then, he took a step forward and arrived above the crowd.
