"The Patriarch rewarded Yuanci Heavy Water Refining Technique. Before our decisive battle with Xue Tong, it is best to make some progress in the refinement. Junior Sister, spend more energy and search in our sect's lake area to find out where is the best place to refine heavy water." Taofa said. said.
"Okay, I'll take Lanyu and Lunyue to hold on tight, and the others will stay and watch Tianfeng." Miaoqing stood up and said.
…
Kanze Lake District in Hezhou.
Xue Tong made big noises one after another, attracting Huang Gongtai.
"Is it done?"
"No, I have to go to Suxin Secret Realm." Xue Tong said with a smile.
"Oh" Huang Gongtai looked surprised.
Xue Tong recounted his experience, and especially reminded: "Everyone knows that the secret treasure of the Three Realms was taken away by Senior Huang. I know, but nine out of ten it was Tao Fa Miaoqing who did it, Senior Huang can go out and inquire."
Huang Gongtai couldn't help but not believe Xue Tong when he showed him the Hell Ghost Ax and the Nightmare Forest's famous calligraphy.
Huang Gongtai paced irritably, "Huang is going out for a few days, what are your plans, fellow Taoist?"
"It's hard for Xue and Daofa to let go, and they have a soul-sworn agreement with their predecessors. They should cooperate and conspire. There is news about Xue. Daofa is looking for you everywhere and wants to invite you to return. What medicine is being sold in the gourd? I can’t explain clearly for a while,” Xue Tong said.
"The Taoist law is full of dignity, and he is quite generous on weekdays, but he is ruthless and will never let go of important matters. Xiaoyou Xue can understand that sooner or later, it will be a good thing to fight against each other."
"Senior and Guang Cheng have a deep grudge. Where will Guang Cheng go?" Xue Tong asked.
"Huang thinks he went to a very distant place, or in Zhongdu or the Northeast Region several states away."
"If Guangcheng doesn't join, Daofa Miaoqing will have no chance of winning. If senior wants to take revenge and realize the rebirth of Su Xin Sect, the best time is now." Xue Tong said confusingly.
"Does Fellow Daoist Xue mean to take the initiative and force Taoist Miaoqing to show up?"
"It's up to the seniors to decide exactly what to do, but if we face the Su Xin Sect, Xue will never back down."
"What do you mean?" Huang Gongtai asked.
"Huang Gong is a senior of the Su Xin Sect. He knows best how to force Tao Fa to show up. Xue proposed asking Tao Fa to abdicate his position as the sect leader. The reason is that the trip to the secret realm often went wrong, and it actually developed to the point where all the monks from outside the sect died. Completely ruin Su Xin’s reputation.”
"Xue has been building momentum for only half a year, especially the Juanzhou sect, which has been in the Kusu Heart Sect for a long time. If necessary, we can ask for help."
"It's not easy to make this determination. Senior, think clearly before making any move. Xue waits here, half a month is enough." Xue Tong said.
"Okay, little friend Xue, please be patient and wait until Huang makes arrangements and think about it clearly." Huang Gongtai said.
…
One month later, the town of Seifon.
Huang Gongtai and Xue Tong appeared, and everyone who saw them was shocked.
Huang Gongtai is the protector of the sect. He has not been seen for fifty years. He rides on the master Dacheng Civet, followed by Xue Tong, the number one enemy of the Su Xin Sect.
The old man's thighs and feet were trembling, "Huang Protector..."
Huang Gongtai summoned the monks in the palace, cursed Taoism, and scolded the Su Xin Sect for being incompetent in leading the sect. The powerful Su Xin Sect had lost three of its members in five days, and was reduced to the level of murdering outsiders and being shameless.
"I invite fellow disciples and knowledgeable people from other sects to order Daofa to abdicate. Do you have any objection?"
The people in the palace looked at each other in confusion. Their strength was too far apart to dare to say no, but their expressions spoke for themselves: they were frightened by Huang Gongtai's force and did not dare to object.
“Post this message to inform the residents of Sefong!”
Huang Gongtai throws out tricks.
"Senior Huang, the people in this library are all stupid and have never seen the world. If we post a message and our senior leaves, what will we do?" asked the boss of the library.
"Taofa Miaoqing will not do anything to you. The two of them have a bad reputation. Now you need to be extra cautious in doing things. Sai Feng Guan has posted a proclamation. It is obviously forced by Senior Huang. At most, you will be removed from the position of leader of the Guan." Xue Tong interrupted.
Soon, notices were posted on the streets of Sefong.
"After I leave, you must not withdraw the complaint without receiving the order from the sect, otherwise your life will be at risk!"
Huang Gongtai left town the next day and said viciously before leaving.
He and Xue Tong ambush outside the town, preparing to capture several senior officials of the Su Xin Sect who came to Sai Feng for inspection.
I waited for ten days.
"Miaoqing Motorcade!"
Huang Gongtai showed a very complicated expression.
Miaoqing's big thorn stabbed into the town and headed towards the palace.
Not long after, the notice at the entrance to the town was removed.
"Let's go, Senior Huang. The Taoist sect Miaoqing is here to see me. I'm sure Senior Huang won't sit back and watch me fight with Miaoqing. If that's the case, let's go and talk!" Xue Tong said.
…
Guanfu.
Miaoqing saw Huang Gongtai and heard a series of messages. Huang Gongtai's face turned red and white, and he shook his head frequently.
Miaoqing tested heavy water in the volcanic lake area, and was urgently recalled by Tao Fa and entrusted with important tasks.
After all, it was so surprising that Xue Tong and Huang Gongtai met.
"Taoist Master Xue has almost lost control of his behavior. Su Xin Sect is here to warn you that if you continue to ruin the reputation of our sect and sow discord among people within the sect, perhaps the Tianmang Sect in Renzhou will suffer disaster!"
Miaoqing talked with Huang Gongtai for a while, then turned to Xue Tong.
"Su Xinzong can go to Renzhou, how can Xue be afraid!"
"The Su Xin Sect has ten times more people than the Tianmang Sect. It is not difficult for Xue Tong to kill three times more. You can do whatever you want!"
"Xue retained the last bottom line and did not take action against the Su Xin Sect members for the sake of Senior Huang."
"If you and Daofa want to try it, Xue will kill a Suxin sect member when he sees one. What's the difficulty in that!"
Xue Tong's voice was sharp and his words were very cruel.
"Then what do you want?"
Miaoqing was too stiff and asked softly.
"If you don't want to do anything else, Daofa will abdicate and go to the far northeast region." Xue Tong said coldly.
"In this case, Su Xin Sect has no choice but to accompany me. Senior Brother Huang, you are a member of the sect after all, so don't help outsiders."
Miaoqing saw that Xue Tong refused to accept the offer and had no intention of talking to him again.
"Huang needs to declare two things. First, if Dao Fa comes forward, Huang will come forward; second, he is opposed to the war spreading to others. He neither agrees with Xue Daoyou's attack on our sect, nor opposes the Su Xin sect's indiscriminate killing of innocent people in Renzhou. Which side crosses the line?" Don’t blame Huang for turning his back on this thunder pool." Huang Gongtai said.
The situation is deadlocked.
Huang Gongtai and Xue Tong went to several towns again. Daofa and Miaoqing never showed up again. After receiving the report, they only sent sect elders to put out the fire and try their best to eliminate the impact. There was actually a bit of a flamboyance and a feeling of being looked down upon.
"The commotion is almost over. Tao Fa is ignoring us. I think we should go back to our homes and think of a solution." Huang Gongtai said.
"Okay, we can't break the situation at the moment, let's let it go first."
"We will meet in Yixin from now on. The spiritual objects trade fair there is held every three years. It is also a rare event in Hezhou."
Huang Gongtai said as he gave Xue Tong a few transmission notes.
Hezhou is dominated by casual cultivators, mostly Taoist temples or small Xuanmen. The Yixin City Spiritual Objects Association is indeed a rare opportunity for monks in Hezhou to gather.
“When we met on the opening day, no one sent us a message to explain that we were not there.”
The grudge between Xue Tong and Su Xinzong was put aside for the time being and settled.
…
Xue Tong settled in Dizhou, which was two thousand miles away from the secluded place of Fan Ruhua and the other four, and it only took one night for Que Falcon to send the message.
He found an abandoned temple. He didn't bother to clean up the ruins. He repaired the underground palace a little, arranged the mechanisms and security, and put it into use hastily.
Grudges must ultimately be resolved by force, and improving one's cultivation is fundamental.
Temporary peace, behind the scenes is sharpening the knife.
Xue Tong summoned him every three months. Xiao Yu'er and others were fine. They all followed his instructions, kept a low profile, and practiced hard day and night.
…
Four years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Xue Tong Fahai completed the third turn.
Xiao Yu'er rose to the peak of Xiantian, the middle stage of White Tiger Grandmaster.
It took more than a hundred years for the three evil spirits to finally rise to the second level. The master's powerful force lasted twice as long.
Huo Huang, on the other hand, was stuck at the Grandmaster Pass and tried twice to no avail.
"Xue has an appointment with the Qiang Du tribe. The snake god sacrifice is approaching and I need to go there."
Xue Tong sealed the underground palace of the Death Mountain Temple and sent birds and falcons to deliver messages.
Then he walked away.
Three days before the sacrifice, he appeared directly in the Qiang Du tribe.
"I haven't seen you Taoist Master Xue for nine years. He is now a great master. Our clan's sacrifices are now protected. Please come quickly, please come quickly!"
Tuhar was full of enthusiasm and pulled Xue Tong into the big tent.
There were nearly ten people sitting in the tent. In addition to Puyun, Ziming, and Fuyangguan monks, there were two newcomers.
"This is a newcomer brought here under the guarantee of Master Ziming Temple." Tuhar introduced.
The original temple leader Zi Ming offered sacrifices to someone who died. Tuhar couldn't bear to refuse, so he accepted the new temple leader Zi Ming's eight million spiritual stones and promised to let the monks he brought to participate in the protection of the law and enjoy the benefits of the treasure tripod.
"Oh, I should have known that Xue would also bring people here to pay some spiritual stones and try whether the pure spiritual power can help break through the bottleneck." Xue Tong said after hearing this.
"No matter how much Baoding spiritual energy we have, we will not sell it. Considering the situation of Ziming Temple and the fact that more people are needed to protect the Dharma this time, the Qiang Du tribe agreed to the request. This will not happen again." Tuhar explained.
"Yeah, yeah, the clan leader has the final say!" Xue Tong sat down, picked a green bamboo shoot from the fruit plate, and stuffed it into his mouth.
The two people invited by Temple Master Ziming were slightly unhappy, Xue Tong said, as if they had taken advantage.
How could Xue Tong take the two of them seriously? While chewing bamboo shoots, he asked, "Have you mastered the clan leader's summoning spell? How many levels of snake gods are you planning to summon this time?"
"Hehe, the second level is very good!" Tuhar said with a smile.
"After two empty rounds, the Baoding is full of spiritual power. I think I can succeed if I try the third level." Temple Master Ziming said.
"If you're afraid of losing control, it's better to be safe."
The monk surnamed Fu next to Master Ziming said.
"Once it gets out of control, the consequences will be disastrous. Even Taoist Master Xue may be powerless..." Another monk surnamed Xu said.
"Xue is not afraid. I am afraid that the third-level snake god will go crazy and many people will die, especially those who want to take advantage." The words surnamed Xu were so thorny that Xue Tong choked on the spot.
"Okay, okay, don't talk too much about me, just focus on holding the ceremony well!"
Tuhar tried to smooth things over and raised a glass to drink.
…
Sacrifice scene.
"Bang!"
The sacrificial cauldron exploded, and green smoke shot out ten feet.
Stone pillars in all directions lit up, smoke billowed, and emerald green runes flickered and jumped.
The smoke condensed into a snake god.
The extremely thick spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged in all directions from the snake god's body.
Almost liquid spiritual energy of heaven and earth!
…
When the snake god's image faded, Tuhar gave a command, and the Qiang Du people's spells and techniques changed accordingly.
