147: The Taoist Master of Moving Mountains, Yang Xiu, the Spear Master
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire audience was astonished.
Yang Xiu, that powerful being crowned with the title of Gun Immortal, fought fiercely against the Yao Race of the North Sea alone with his gun.
He shone brilliantly at the Demon Extermination Assembly. According to statistics, the number of Returning Void Realm great Yao he killed exceeded thirty, five of which had reached the Peak of the Returning Void Realm.
If it weren't for the escalating war on the front lines, the risk of Returning Void Realm Cultivators continuing to fight would be extremely high, and perhaps this number would have continued to increase.
Yang Xiu left Demon Extinction Island, not because he was afraid of death; in fact, he never thought of leaving.
He was ordered by some great figures to withdraw from the great battle and return to the rear.
His powerful strength had already attracted the attention of some supreme beings in the North Sea Cultivation World, and it also aroused their strong desire to cherish such talent.
This led to concerns, fearing that such a Human Race Prodigy would die young before he could fully mature.
The Human-Yao war had escalated too quickly; even Mahayana Realm Venerables had already fallen.
Not to mention a mere Returning Void Cultivator who hadn't even reached the Body Integration Realm.
It would be better to preserve his useful body and powerful talent to cultivate properly, and when the Yao calamity truly needed to be quelled in the future, he could sweep through the Yao Race with his unparalleled strength.
As for now, killing more than thirty Returning Void great Yao was enough.
He could retreat to the relatively safe rear for a temporary rest.
Although Yang Xiu expressed that his gun had not drunk enough of the Yao Beast's blood, he ultimately could not defy those beings.
It just so happened that he had obtained a large amount of resources through the Demon Extermination Assembly.
He also needed a lot of time to digest these resources and convert them into tangible cultivation and strength.
It wouldn't be too late to return and exterminate Yao after his strength had improved.
Currently, he was invincible in the Returning Void Realm.
When he emerged from his next seclusion, he would undoubtedly be invincible in the Body Integration Realm.
Alone with his gun, he would suppress the Prodigies of his generation, quell the Yao calamity, and usher in an era of eternal peace for the Heavenly Profound Cultivation World.
This was Yang Xiu's ultimate lifelong goal.
As for why he went to Chiyang Island and accepted the invitation from Qingfeng Pavilion, it was mainly because Wei Qingfeng, the Pavilion Revered Master of Qingfeng Pavilion, had befriended him at the Demon Extermination Assembly.
And during the great battle with the Yao Race, the other party had fought alongside him.
So, there was indeed some friendship involved.
In addition, the remuneration offered by the other party was truly generous, so after some consideration, Yang Xiu agreed.
His original plan to go into seclusion was also slightly postponed.
It wouldn't be too late to finish this task in the Chiyang Secret Realm first.
After all, the Secret Realm would only be open for a total of three months, which was just a blink of an eye and not long at all.
In fact, besides Moving Mountain Taoist joining the Limitless Sect and Gun Immortal Yang Xiu accepting the invitation from Qingfeng Pavilion, the six major forces had many other preparations, but they were not known to outsiders.
The two great Families, the Han Family and the Zhou Family, secretly allied.
Inside a secret chamber in the Zhou Family's ancestral land, Zhou Family Old Ancestor Zhou Wenzhu and Han Family Old Ancestor Han Wuye were discussing face to face.
“The Limitless Sect has Moving Mountain Taoist, and Qingfeng Pavilion has Gun Immortal Yang Xiu. We must also find someone who can contend with them,” Zhou Wenzhu spoke first, his brows furrowed with solemnity.
His words were also the very reason Han Wuye came to the Zhou Family to seek him out this time.
“Brother Zhou and I are thinking alike!”
“Someone from our two sides must be able to restrain Moving Mountain Taoist and Yang Xiu.”
“Does Brother Zhou have any good candidates?”
Good candidates.
As Han Wuye's voice fell, the quiet room immediately fell into silence.
Both of them were deep in thought, wondering which Returning Void Realm Prodigy in the North Sea Cultivation World possessed an invincible demeanor.
“Blood Eyes Mo Lingtian? No, he acts too recklessly, like a Demonic Path Cultivator, and has already been secretly hunted by many major forces, so he dares not show himself easily. Not to mention whether we can find him, even if we do, asking him to act might be inviting trouble.”
“Little Sword Saint Yi Canghai? He is a good choice, but I don’t know if North Sea Sword Saint will let him out of seclusion, and there’s also the price of asking him to act.”
“And that eldest young Revered Master of the Yun Family, it is rumored that he is also an extremely terrifying existence. How could the Yun Family possibly care about these small resources on Chiyang Island?”
“Who else? Within the North Sea Cultivation World, among the various forces or Loose Cultivators within a million miles of Chiyang Island, whose reputation can rival Moving Mountain Taoist and Gun Immortal Yang Xiu?”
Few, very few.
Invincible titles are all earned through battle achievements.
Zhou Wenzhu and Han Wuye thought for a long time and only came up with three people: Blood Eyes Mo Lingtian, Little Sword Saint Yi Canghai, and Yun Family eldest young Revered Master Young Master Yun Hezhi.
Han Wuye pondered for a moment, then heavily struck his palm with his fist.
“Blood Eyes Mo Lingtian doesn’t need to be considered; even if we could find him, we wouldn’t dare to use him.”
“As for Little Sword Saint Yi Canghai of the Xuanguang Sect and Yun Family eldest young Revered Master Young Master Yun Hezhi, send people to contact them, offer high conditions, and then leak the news of Moving Mountain Taoist and Gun Immortal Yang Xiu to them, to see if these two can pique their interest.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Wenzhu immediately perked up, unable to help but shiver all over.
He had almost overlooked this aspect.
Sometimes, Prodigies in their hearts greatly desire to battle with other Prodigies to hone themselves.
Remuneration is naturally one aspect, but to invite Yi Canghai and Young Master Yun Hezhi, they would probably really need to leverage the formidable reputations of Moving Mountain Taoist and Gun Immortal Yang Xiu.
“Excellent! Truly excellent.”
“In that case, Brother Han, my Zhou Family will send someone to Xuanguang Sect to invite Little Sword Saint Yi Canghai, and your Han Family will send someone to the Yun Family to invite Yun Family eldest young Revered Master Young Master Yun Hezhi.”
“No matter which of them accepts the invitation, we will not fear the Limitless Sect and Qingfeng Pavilion.”
“If neither of them accepts, then we can only fight to the death.”
“Of course, we can also try to contact people from Qingyang Sect. If it really doesn't work, we can ally with Qingyang Sect. With the advantage in the number of Returning Void Realm Cultivators, we can also suppress their two sides.”
Zhou Wenzhu's words were deeply approved by Han Wuye.
After he nodded in affirmation, he left directly after dropping a sentence.
“In that case, this old man will return to the Han Family to make arrangements.”
Neither of them mentioned Tianxing Sect from beginning to end.
This was because Tianxing Sect had risen too recently, and its strength was too weak compared to the other five parties.
It was simply like a filler, with nothing to say.
If it weren't for the fact that their Sect also had three Returning Void Cultivators guarding it, how could it possibly be qualified to be called one of the three great Sects of Chiyang Island alongside the Limitless Sect and Qingyang Sect?
“Xuanguang Sect, Little Sword Saint Yi Canghai.”
After muttering to himself, Zhou Wenzhu's figure also disappeared into the quiet room.
He decided to personally go to Xuanguang Sect.
While inviting Yi Canghai, he would also visit his Revered Master, North Sea Sword Saint Zong Ze, who was renowned throughout the North Sea Cultivation World!
