137: Why worry about the immortality of the Dongming Sect?

PS: The previous chapter has been updated with over 3,000 words, please check it out! I apologize for the inconvenience caused to all Yan Zu, I deeply reflect!

However, why would this Traveling Envoy of the Dongming Sect, knowing that the Twelve Phase Sect is suspected of having connected with the Starry Sky Great Sect 'Zi Ji Palace', still ask him to agree to the conditions of this Ox Zodiac Lord?

Has the Dongming Sect become so audacious that it wants to 'fish' the Zi Ji Palace in and defeat it as well?

Are they sure they haven't lost their minds?

This is a true Great Sect in the Starry Sky. Not to mention destroying a Dongming Sect, it is a cosmic overlord that can even make the entire Azure Underworld directly evaporate.

Your Dongming Sect, knowing that the Twelve Phase Sect might have connected with such an overlord, still wants me to cooperate with the 'fishing'?

Yan Chenhu couldn't understand, but he was greatly shocked!

Not only could he not understand the Dongming Sect, he also couldn't understand the Twelve Phase Sect.

One moment, they suddenly claim to have connected with the Starry Sky Great Sect 'Zi Ji Palace'. They were clearly being beaten before, even having their Sect gate destroyed, and then you tell me you have a huge backer behind you?

What was even more incomprehensible to him was that Lu Chen, the Traveling Envoy of the Dongming Sect, had clearly heard the name of the giant 'Zi Ji Palace', yet he still wanted him to go along with the plan, seemingly wanting to lure even the cosmic overlord, the Zi Ji Palace, into a trap.

He could understand if he was asked to directly kill this Ox Zodiac Lord on the spot, after all, it would be nipping the crisis in the bud.

With the death of the Ox Zodiac Lord, the Twelve Phase Sect might have no more Yang God Great Cultivators, existing only in name. Then, the cosmic overlord, the Zi Ji Palace, might not necessarily be willing to make a move for the Twelve Phase Sect, which no longer exists. After all, the Dongming Sect also has a backer, and there might be room for maneuver.

Or perhaps, the Dongming Sect simply doesn't believe that this dilapidated Twelve Phase Sect can connect with the 'Zi Ji Palace', so they want him to deliberately cooperate with the Ox Zodiac Lord, and then bring out all the remnants of the Twelve Phase Sect in one fell swoop and completely wipe them out?

But, the Zi Ji Sword Talisman is real!

Yan Chenhu rubbed the Zi Ji Sword Talisman in his palm forcefully, feeling as if he was being placed over a raging fire, being repeatedly roasted!

On one side was the Twelve Phase Sect, possibly backed by the 'Zi Ji Palace', and on the other was the unfathomable Dongming Sect. The crucial point now was that people from both sides knew everything, just waiting for him to make a choice.

So, which side should he stand on?

If he stood with the Twelve Phase Sect, they would have to go to war with the Dongming Sect now, and the Tianyuan Grotto-heaven might be flattened by the Dongming Sect before the Zi Ji Palace even arrived.

But if he stood with the Dongming Sect, if the 'Zi Ji Palace', which was suspected to exist behind the Twelve Phase Sect, really arrived, his Tianyuan Grotto-heaven would still be wiped out.

Either way was death!

"Stand with the Dongming Sect, and the Tianyuan Grotto-heaven can survive at least until the Zi Ji Palace arrives. But if you stand with the Twelve Phase Sect, the Tianyuan Grotto-heaven can be removed from the name today, Abode Master, you must think carefully!" The words of Lu Chen, the Traveling Envoy of the Dongming Sect, came to his ear again, his tone not heavy, even carrying a hint of gentleness.

But to Yan Chenhu's ears, it was like a clap of thunder, causing his heart to sink to the bottom.

Threat, naked threat!

But, Yan Chenhu had to accept it, whether he wanted to or not.

In South Chu, limited to South Chu, the Dongming Sect was Heaven.

The Tianyuan Grotto-heaven could not withstand the attack of the Dongming Sect, and the already shattered Twelve Phase Sect was even less capable.

He did not have the Zi Ji Palace as a backer, and now that it was gone, it was truly gone.

............

Three quarters of an hour ago.

Using the vision of the Red Dragon and the other seven Divine Travel Dao Soldiers, Lu Chen silently witnessed the battle between the Abode Master of Tianyuan Cave Abode, Yan Chenhu, and the Ox Zodiac Lord, two Yang God Great Cultivators. At the same time, he heard everything the Ox Zodiac Lord said, including the attempt to win over the Abode Master of Tianyuan Cave Abode, Yan Chenhu, and the so-called cosmic overlord 'Zi Ji Palace'.

Immediately, Lu Chen silently took out his communication jade slip.

The Twelve Phase Sect still has a backer?

And it's some Great Sect, a cosmic-level overlord!

Can the Dongming Sect handle it?

He didn't know, so he would ask his Master first.

If they could handle it, then they would fight.

If they couldn't, the entire Dongming Sect should run away as soon as possible, there was no time to lose!

But in the end, the reply Lu Chen received was only a short sentence: [Zi Ji Palace? A bit tricky, I'll ask the Ancestral Land to give them a good talking to later, but you don't need to take it too seriously, just maximize the benefits, and decide how to proceed yourself. In addition, to ensure everything is foolproof, Gu Wenzhao and Fan Yanbo are already on their way.]

Ancestral Land?

Talk to the so-called Great Sect, a cosmic-level overlord?

The Dongming Sect's backing has become this powerful?!

Asking the Ancestral Land to make a move, not to communicate, not to mediate, and even less to retreat at the cost of benefits, but to directly talk to them?

This, wasn't it obvious enough?!

This, do they still need to fear your dilapidated Twelve Phase Sect?

Directly make Yan Chenhu a traitor, lure out all the remnants of the Twelve Phase Sect and kill them, and leave the rest for the Ancestral Land to handle.

Having a backer, having support, means you can be arrogant and reckless, you can be this tough and Arrogance.

Don't ask, just do what you're told, and if you don't, you'll be dealt with!

This was Lu Chen's plan. So when the Abode Master of Tianyuan Cave Abode, the Yang God Great Cultivator Yan Chenhu, still hesitated after hearing his voice transmission, Lu Chen directly issued a harsh warning.

You have to be this traitor, whether you want to or not!

Otherwise, it's not just the Twelve Phase Sect that will be destroyed, but also your Tianyuan Grotto-heaven.

As for whether I'm afraid of you jumping the gun?

Protector Gu Wenzhao and Protectorate Fan Yanbo can suppress you once, and they can suppress you ten times, a hundred times.

I dare to threaten you because I have a backer. If you dare to jump the gun, I'm sorry, you'll likely become a dead dog.

"As the Traveling Envoy says." Yan Chenhu's low reply came belatedly, making Lu Chen feel relieved.

Deep underground.

Yan Chenhu returned the Zi Ji Sword Talisman with both hands: "As the Xiang Zhu says."

The long-awaiting Ox Zodiac Lord smiled with satisfaction: "A very wise decision. In a few days, the Tianyuan Grotto-heaven will become the overlord of South Chu, second only to the Twelve Phase Sect. Perhaps, even further, becoming the overlord of the entire Azure Underworld is not impossible!"

Yan Chenhu's expression was complex, and he sighed: "I only hope that your Twelve Phase Sect truly has this connection with the Zi Ji Palace behind it!"

"Just ask the Abode Master to wait and see."

Yan Chenhu waved his hand: "Then, what should we do next?"

He pointed to the upper level of the underground: "Completely leave the people of the Dongming Sect behind?"

The Ox Zodiac Lord stroked his palms and laughed: "The Abode Master is decisive and resolute, truly excellent."

Changing the subject: "However, the Heavenly Pride of our Sect who has entered the Zi Ji Palace has not yet returned to the Azure Underworld, so the Tianyuan Grotto-heaven is temporarily not suitable to completely fall out with the Dongming Sect.

"I, the Xiang Zhu, will kill the people of the Dongming Sect."

Yan Chenhu seemed puzzled: "If the Xiang Zhu wipes out all these people from the Dongming Sect, aren't you afraid that the Dongming Sect will, in a fit of rage, turn the entire South Chu upside down and completely root out and destroy your Twelve Phase Sect?"

The Ox Zodiac Lord laughed: "Our Twelve Phase Sect has been able to endure in the dark for many years, how can the Dongming Sect find us just by saying so. After this matter, I will invite the Abode Master to visit the true stronghold of our Twelve Phase Sect, and I guarantee that after the Abode Master sees it, he will have no more worries."

Yan Chenhu seemed very moved: "In that case, count me in for destroying these people from the Dongming Sect, it can also be considered a pledge of allegiance to your Twelve Phase Sect."

He bowed solemnly: "I earnestly ask the Xiang Zhu to agree."

The Ox Zodiac Lord was overjoyed in his heart, 'It's stable!'

This Abode Master of Tianyuan Cave Abode is indeed easy to win over!

With just a slight effort, this Abode Master is already wholeheartedly devoted!

With this, why worry about the Dongming Sect not being destroyed!

Underground, the remnants of the Twelve Phase Sect and the Disciples of the Demonic Path were all wiped out, and over three thousand Disciples of the Dongming Sect were cleaning up the battlefield.

The Elders of Doujian Peak, the True Disciples and registered Disciples of the Third Elder, the two True Disciples Yang Qingpeng and Luo Tingwu, the two Heavenly Pride Pang Feifeng and Chu Xianyin, including Lu Chen, the current Traveling Envoy of the Dongming Sect, were all watching this.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a terrifying pure Yang divine light rose brilliantly from deep underground. The earth no longer subsided, but collapsed towards the center.

It was as if the entire Azure Underworld earth was all squeezing towards this place.

This was the terrifying weight of a great star, plus the power of pure Yang divine light, simultaneously attacking both the Physical Body and the soul.

In an instant, the three thousand Dongming Sect Disciples who were still cleaning up the battlefield didn't even have time to react before their souls were dissolved under the pure Yang divine light, and the color completely disappeared from their pupils!

Then, their physical bodies were squeezed by the earth, shattering into a bloody mist, and buried by the earth.

Throughout this process, these excellent Disciples of the Dongming Sect didn't even have time to react.

Even the several Elders of Doujian Peak, the True Disciples and registered Disciples of the Peak Lord, only had time to look up before they also followed suit.

Only the two True Disciples Yang Qingpeng and Luo Tingwu, the two Heavenly Pride Pang Feifeng and Chu Xianyin, and Lu Chen, the current Traveling Envoy of the Dongming Sect, reacted with shock and anger and roared curses the moment the pure Yang divine light appeared.

But they only lasted for a few breaths before their souls were wiped out and their physical bodies were crushed by the earth, buried underground along with all the Disciples of the Dongming Sect.

This is the might of a Yang God!

What Heavenly Pride, what Yin God, what Traveling Envoy of the Dongming Sect, in front of a Yang God Great Cultivator who Masters rules and can even change the rules of heaven and earth, are all ants.

A Yang God Great Cultivator is already equivalent to a part of the rules of heaven and earth. Cultivators below the Yang God Realm, fighting against a Yang God, are like fighting against heaven and earth!

But how can human power overcome heaven?

It's futile!

"In the struggle between Great Sects, the so-called Heavenly Pride and elites are merely ants and mayflies. The petty calculations and wins and losses are actually insignificant, but with a Yang God making a move, everything can be reversed." The Ox Zodiac Lord stood with his hands behind his back, wearing a green robe, and looked with a smile at the Abode Master of Tianyuan Cave Abode, Yan Chenhu, who was gradually retracting his pure Yang divine light, and said: "Just as the Abode Master made a move to wipe out these Disciples and members of the Dongming Sect. If the Zi Ji Palace were to descend upon the Azure Underworld, sweeping through the Dongming Sect would be just as simple."

He paused: "Since the Abode Master has taken the initiative to make a move and destroy these Dongming Sect Disciples and members as a show of sincerity, our Twelve Phase Sect will naturally not be stingy."

He raised his hand and made a gesture: "Abode Master, please follow me to see the true important place of the Twelve Phase Sect, so that some of the Abode Master's doubts can be resolved."

"After so many years, with the help of that person from the Zi Ji Palace, our Twelve Phase Sect has naturally changed. The Abode Master is insightful and will surely know at a glance whether this connection with the Zi Ji Palace is real or fake!"

The Ox Zodiac Lord spoke as he walked, only taking the Abode Master of Tianyuan Cave Abode, Yan Chenhu, far away, and in an instant they had disappeared.

It was also after the Ox Zodiac Lord and Yan Chenhu, the two Yang God Great Cultivators, disappeared, that two figures suddenly appeared out of thin air deep underground.

They were none other than the two Protectors of the Dongming Sect who had returned from the depths of the Starry Sky, Gu Wenzhao and Fan Yanbo!

"Making the false real. Although it's a bit rough, this Ox Zodiac Lord's Realm is insufficient, and his strength is far inferior, so it's simple to deceive him!" Protector Gu Wenzhao chuckled lightly and raised his hand to summon.

From deep within the ground, a treasure pearl with a dreamy color, within which seemed to be layers of human world scenes constantly flowing, with images of mountains, rivers, and surging crowds, appeared, and was then grabbed by Protector Gu into his palm and put away, disappearing.

'Illusion Pearl', a special magical treasure obtained from the Ancestral Land. As long as you wish, you can freely create all phenomena in this world, making the false real, indistinguishable.

Unless one's strength is exceptionally high, surpassing the five-tribulation Yang God Realm, there is a possibility of seeing through it.

"You all stay well in the Refining Demon Pot for now. Old man and Protector Gu will secretly follow that Ox Zodiac Lord for a while, lest you alert the enemy and be detected by that stupid bull, ruining the important matter." Protectorate Fan Yanbo patted the Refining Demon Pot in his palm and said indifferently.

"The two Protector Shibo are cautious and far-sighted. Hearing this, this Disciple feels infinitely benefited and will surely keep the teachings in mind and never forget them." A response came from the Refining Demon Pot, and judging by the voice, it was indeed Lu Chen.

It was obvious that the Dongming Sect Disciples, the Elders of Doujian Peak, including Yang Qingpeng, Chu Xianyin, Lu Chen, and others, who were previously wiped out by the pure Yang divine light and crushed by the Azure Underworld earth, were all illusions created by this 'Illusion Pearl'.

'This kid, he really just says whatever comes to his mind!'

It's enough to say nice things, but you can even praise this useless decision. You're truly shameless, comparable to Old Three.

Protector Gu Wenzhao and Protectorate Fan Yanbo had this thought almost simultaneously in their hearts, then exchanged glances and cleared their throats: "Nephew Lu doesn't need to stay in the Refining Demon Pot, come out! There are some things that still require your help."

With that, they wiped the Refining Demon Pot, and Lu Chen was already out of the Refining Demon Pot.

Inside the Refining Demon Pot.

Yang Qingpeng: "..."

Luo Tingwu: "..."

This can happen too?

They, the two True Disciples of the Dongming Sect, had to stay honestly in the 'small dark room' inside the Refining Demon Pot, but Lu Chen isn't even a True Disciple yet! He can get special treatment and be personally brought along by the two Protectors?

And Lu Chen, the dignified current Traveling Envoy of the Dongming Sect, who once killed a Heavenly Pride, now the most prominent figure among the younger generation in South Chu, doesn't even care about his face?

The two Protectors just said to stay honestly in the Refining Demon Pot, and you can even praise that?!

Have you lost your conscience?!

Bah, ashamed to be associated with him!

They silently remembered in their hearts, 'Nice words are free, feel free to speak them boldly in the future, and don't mention anything about face or no face, what if it works?'

Don't say that this kid Lu Chen is popular in the Sect, it seems like many Elders and Protectors love to favor him. He has good talent, he's good at talking, and he does things for the Sect beautifully. Who wouldn't like such a Disciple?
