“This is the end. We have no choice.”
Li Hai looked at Yao Shuangya with a solemn expression, and said solemnly, “Lord! The twelve sects work together, and we can’t resist it unless we use the external forces. If we don’t use the trump card of the Immortal Tea Plant, you can only wake up Grand Elder…”
“That’s impossible!”
Yao Shuangya interrupted Li Hai’s words with a gloomy expression, “The Grand Elder is at a critical moment. It is related to the rise of our sect. We should not disturb him!”
As soon as he said it, many elders all became worried.
“What should we do?”
The elder in charge of the supply of spiritual stones looked very worried, “Even if the big tactical matrix for protecting the Sect shrinks to the extreme, it can only last for half a day. Could we only…surrender?”
Yao Shuangya saw that people were dispirited. Even though his heart was heavy, he was still calm on the surface. And he said in a deliberate tone.
“My Yuxu Sect has been standing for a thousand years. How can it be defeated by a group of mobs?! The war is inevitable. You just conserve strength and store up energy first. Then I will have my own way to solve the Grand Elder’s problem.”
Hearing Yao Shuangya’s words, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in unison, “Lord is wise!”
But no one knew how many people believed it.
“I’ll take someone to check the tactical matrix.” Li Hai’s eyes flashed, and then he left.
“Deputy Lord Li, wait! I’ll go with you.”
The elder who was responsible for the supply of spiritual stones hurriedly followed out of the main hall. The Lord of the Sect became relaxed slightly.
At the critical moment, there was still someone in the sect that could be trusted.
However, when he thought of the Grand Elder, he felt gloomy.
Over the years, others didn’t know what the Yuxu Sect’s prosperity depended on. He, the Lord of the Sect, knew it clearly.
Grand Elder was missing as early as more than two thousand years ago. If he hadn’t sought help from the holy sects in time, the Yuxu Sect would have been destroyed by the Zihan Sect. How could it be possible to maintain prosperity?
“The agents of holy sects have all been killed, and even the elder who is in charge of contacting holy sects has also disappeared. Who is…so malicious?”
Yao Shuangya thought about these things. Facing a strange enemy, he felt more powerless in his heart.
Unknowingly, he came to a palace. When he looked up and saw the three characters “Holy Girl Hall”, he felt inexplicably chilly in his heart.
“So unlucky…”
Yao Shuangya looked sullen, and waved his sleeves, turning to leave.
This scene was seen by Fang Ling, who was sitting in the hall. Her expression was as usual.
After the disaster one thousand years ago, the position of the holy girl of Yuxu Sect had long been regarded as a symbol of bad luck. If it hadn’t been ordered by the holy sects that the holy girl was required to preside over the necessary rituals, the position of holy girl would have been revoked.
And after that world, even though she took over from Senior Sister Apprentice Mei, she was always on guard against by her master, the Lord of the Sect, because she was suspected of “soul deprivation”. This situation had been more obvious since she rescued Mei Ruohan.
However, she didn’t care.
“Now there may be another way to atone for my crime.”
Fang Ling whispered to herself, and took out an old embroidery product, which almost fell apart from her arms, with the word “Linli” pierced on it.
She still remembered that she was carefree at that time. In the seemingly ordinary restaurant, the scene of bustle, the simple busyness… It was the warmth and…happiness that she had never experienced before.
“If everything in that world is real, how good it will be…”
Fang Ling sighed and closed her eyes.
She had run out of time to rest.
After Yao Shuangya walked out of the main hall, he raised his head and glanced at the huge and unstoppable spiritual power impact outside the seemingly indestructible big tactical matrix for protecting the Sect. He quickly retracted his gaze and walked into the back mountain where many palaces located.
In front of an ancient palace, he stopped and pondered for a moment. Then he whispered, “Old Ancestor?”
The palace was silent for a moment, and then there was an old coughing sound, “Ahem… Come in.”
Yao Shuangya didn’t expect that the old ancestor really responded to him. He was slightly happy at the moment. Then he pushed the door and stepped into the palace.
The curtains on all sides of the palace were closed tightly, and only a few spiritual lamps lighted up a few areas. The line of sight suddenly dimmed.
Yao Shuangya came to the quiet room where the old ancestor usually practiced in isolation. When he saw the door was open, he immediately walked in.
The old ancestor had white hair and ruddy complexion in daily life. But now his face was wrinkled, and he was skinny. There were blood stains on the chest of the snow-white robe, like plum blossoms.
Yao Shuangya thought that the old ancestor called him in, which meant that his injury should have improved, but he didn’t expect it to be more serious. He was shocked immediately, “Old Ancestor! You…”
“Ahem… I’m not dead yet. Do not yell.”
The Immortal Yuxu, Ding Yan, looked gloomy. He couldn’t help covering his mouth and coughing twice, “The cultivation of old ancestors of the twelve sects are lower than me. Their collective power is weaker than me. The weird ghosts greatly reduced my strength. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so miserable!”
“I’m afraid that it is the means of the secret person.”
Yao Shuangya’s tone was a little weak, “Hidden attacks are more dangerous than open acts of enmity. Who would have thought that someone could dominate the powers of twenty-three sects? The enemies come fiercely and are well prepared. How should we deal with them?”
“You and I know that Grand Elder is not in the sect.”
Ding Yan’s tone paused, and his voice lowered, “I take over from the Grand Elder as Immortal Yuxu. Yuxu Sect must not be destroyed in my hands! Follow me to see the demon tree Bizhui!”
“Do we have to rely on Bizhui old fox?”
Yao Shuangya was shocked, but he didn’t say anything more. He obediently flew out of the palace with Ding Yan and landed in front of the demon tree of Tea Plant Mount.
During the flight, Ding Yan’s dry face quickly filled, changing to his original childlike appearance, and he temporarily restored strength, but the blood on his chest was not erased.
Yao Shuangya breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, “The old ancestor is still wise and is still guarding against Bizhui.”
“Senior Bizhui, please show up!”
Ding Yan spoke loudly, and his voice spread far between the cliffs.
Boom….
The giant tree swayed, and Bizhui’s old face appeared on the thick roots of the tree.
“It turns out to be Ding Yan. After you take over as the Immortal Yuxu, you never come up to me. Why are you here now?”
Although Bizhui was taunting him, but his tone was not bad. Ding Yan felt a little relieved, and said in a deep voice, “Senior. would you like to make a deal with me?”
Bizhui let out a faint smile, “Tell me.”
Ding Yan clasped his fists and said in a low voice, “The Yuxu Sect is about to be destroyed. Senior, you must know it. Since you are trapped here, after the big tactical matrix for protecting the Sect is broken, it will be difficult for you to keep safe, right?”
“Ho-ho.” Bizhui’s tone turned cold. “Yuxu Sect knows why I am trapped. You come here to laugh at me when your sect will be destroyed?!”
“Senior, you misunderstand!”
Ding Yan kept an extremely low profile, and quickly explained, “I am here to unlock the seal for you, Senior!”
“Hahaha!”
Bizhui laughed, “There is no free lunch in the world. Ding Yan, is it possible that you want me to fight for your sect? That is absolutely impossible! Even if I am trapped and die here, I will never help you deal with the enemy!”
Yao Shuangya was furious when he heard it, but Ding Yan was not surprised, and continued to lower his posture, “Senior, the twelve sects team up. Even if you are willing to take action, it will not help. I just want you to do me a little favor. There will be no danger at all.”
“Oh?”
A trace of interest appeared on Bizhui’s old face.
“What? To escape?”
Mo Qin was called to the side hall alone and looked at Li Hai who was coming to deliver the news, “How can we escape? Aren’t we trapped in the big tactical matrix for protecting the Sect?!”
“It’s demon tree.” Li Hai’s voice was as calm as ever, “The old ancestor and Bizhui have made an agreement. Bizhui will be free, but he has to take the elites of our sect to evacuate together and go to other big regions to start all over again.”
“That’s it.”
Mo Qin smiled bitterly. This was really Ding Yan’s consistent style.
Suddenly, she remembered something. Seeing that Li Hai hadn’t left, she quickly asked, “How many people is he going to take away?”
Li Hai looked at Mo Qin without speaking.
Mo Qin felt cold, “Xiao Liang and Chen…”
“Beixiao Liang is now the first genius of the younger generation of our sect. Naturally, he will not be given up. It is Qi Chen who is abandoned.”
Li Hai said regretfully, “The demon tree is only willing to take away a hundred people. If they want to start all over again, they must need an alchemist. If it weren’t for that, the old ancestor even doesn’t want to take you.”
“How come….”
Mo Qin sat on the ground in despair.
She had already ruthlessly discarded a disciple, now she still needed to abandon the second one?
Li Hai stood in place and did not leave.
After a long time, Mo Qin suddenly raised her head and stared at the person in front of her. She slowly said two words.
“Li Hai.”
A smile appeared on Li Hai’s cold face. Perhaps because he hadn’t smiled for a long time, the smile was extremely ugly.
“It’s been a long time since you called my name.”
Mo Qin shook her head, “I know my level of alchemy, and when it comes to importance, I won’t be one of the top 100 elites of the sect. What did you say to Yao Shuangya?”
After his lie was exposed, Li Hai was silent for a while. Then he said, “I don’t want you to die.”
Mo Qin laughed in a low voice. She raised her head, and there seemed to be a light in her eyes, “Take Qi Chen, and I will stay here.”
Li Hai was immediately shocked, “You!”
“You should be able to understand me.”
Mo Qin walked to Li Hai. His tone was calm as if she had died, “You know better than anyone how I have lived over the past thousand years. I will die to accompany her.”
Mo Qin’s eyes softened, “That girl must be lonely there.”
“That’s not your fault!” The pain flashed in Li Hai’s eyes, “None of us can save her. Do you understand?”
“So, I am wrong at the beginning. The better I treat her, the more I hurt her.”
Mo Qin closed her eyes, “Don’t worry about me anymore, Deputy Lord Li.”
Swish!
Li Hai pointed at Mo Qin’s acupuncture point for sleeping and looked at the person lying softly in his arms. His stern eyebrows were frowned together, and they turned flat after a while.
“What? You want to stay?”
Yao Shuangya looked at the grim man in front of him in astonishment, “Li Hai, this is not like you as usual.”
In his impression, Li Hai never did anything that was of no benefit, let alone self-sacrifice. Did Li Hai take the wrong medicine this time?
“There is always someone to sacrifice. If there is not a top man to stay, the sect will fall apart too fast. I am afraid that you will not even have the time to escape.”
Li Hai’s voice was dull, as if he would not sacrifice.
Yao Shuangya’s face changed slightly when he heard this, and then a feeling of sorrow raised in his heart, “You can always easily convince me. If it weren’t for this catastrophe, you might be the next lord of Yuxu Sect.”
“It’s useless to say more. You guys quickly prepare, and let Qi Chen take my position. That’s a talent.”
“Okay!”
Yao Shuangya didn’t think much, and quickly left to cooperate with Bizhui. Everything was going on in secret.
When Li Hai turned his head and saw thousands of ignorant disciples who were still maintaining the operation of the tactical matrix spread across the mountains, a look of self-deprecating flashed in his eyes.
“I still lost to you, Qin.”
