Chapter 152 Attacking Ziyang Immortal Sect
Chapter 152 Attacking Ziyang Immortal Sect
In the Zi Yang Cave, Zi Yang Zhenren was sitting cross-legged in front of the round light mirror.
The Round Light Mirror is a magical weapon for long-distance detection. It can observe an area of a thousand miles in radius while one is inside a cave, but the prerequisite is that one's spiritual consciousness is not blocked by the opponent's anti-detection spells or magic weapons.
The image in the magic mirror showed a giant floating flying boat hovering outside the mountain gate. Under the sunlight, the flying boat reflected golden light, looking magnificent and beautiful.
"What a grand ceremony! As expected, the Jinling Sect created the Seven Fragrance Chariot, a superb chariot. They have such a profound foundation in refining equipment. I wonder how many spirit stones I can get after the discount."
True Man Zi Yang's eyes were sucked into the giant ship and he could hardly pull them away.
It is said that he has become an immortal and should not be tempted by worldly pleasures. But what if he has become an immortal? Is the Jade Emperor's throne room grand? Is the Eight Scenery Carriage pulled by a golden dragon grand when he travels?
What does Western religion emphasize about being free from attachment, colorless and formless, and the four elements being empty? How many main halls and golden Buddha statues have been built? How many gold bricks are paved on the ground and golden sand is used to pray for scriptures? The weapons are all hung with jewels, which are called the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree.
What the superior likes, the subordinates will like even more.
Being able to own such a vehicle for travel, the Zi Yang Immortal Sect will be so proud to meet with other major immortal sects in the future and appear on a giant golden boat. If the ancestor comes to inspect the mortal world, he will definitely praise his descendants for their good management skills when he sees them.
However, True Man Zi Yang could only think about it. Given the sect's current financial situation, it was really difficult to afford the purchase funds.
I don't know what happened in the past hundred years, but the secret realm exploration activities have been losing money repeatedly. The accounts look very good, but in reality they are all losing spirit stones, and a lot of the income from the relatively stable spirit stone mines has been lost.
Of course, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even so, it is not impossible to take out several hundred million spirit stones at one time to buy a flying boat, but things are not that simple.
If you want to buy this giant flying boat, you must first settle the old debt with Wen Rui. After settling the old debt, you will not have enough spirit stones to buy the flying boat.
Just as he was feeling regretful, Master Zhang broke into the headmaster's cave residence and said with a distressed expression: "Brother, you have also heard what Wen Rui said, that kid left, but I'm afraid he won't let it go."
"Humph, so what?" Zi Yang Zhenren frowned and said, "Just listening to his false threats, you will give him hundreds of millions of spirit stones? How can you be so timid? There are many gods standing behind him, but even saints have to be reasonable. Don't we have saints backing us up?"
"Master, we are not in the right..." Master Zhang said with a wry smile, "If you don't pay your debt, it's not right for you to go before the saint to seek justice."
"Don't worry, the saints are too lazy to judge right and wrong for minor debts. Unless there are casualties among the immortal disciples, it will be enough for the saints to intervene." Zi Yang Zhenren said calmly, "At that time, we will be the ones in the right."
"In fact, the equal principal and interest repayment plan is not unbearable... Why make a fuss about it..." Master Zhang always felt uneasy and couldn't help but persuade.
"In ordinary people's words, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are until you run a household. Your vision is too narrow!" Zi Yang Zhenren scolded: "Even if there are spirit stones in the sect, they must be used in key areas. The additional expenditure of 20 million spirit stones per year will reduce the disciples' cultivation expenses accordingly."
"Besides, if my Ziyang Immortal Sect bows to the Jinling Sect, how will other sects view us? Wouldn't we become a laughing stock, laughing at us for being afraid of power and being scared of a mere mortal."
“Yes, yes, Master Brother is teaching me a lesson…” Master Zhang was sweating profusely after being scolded.
"Alas, there are too many places to use spirit stones. Changfeng is also a troublesome guy. He wrote a letter to ask the sect to support his Rabbit Suppression Alliance, and asked for 50 million spirit stones at the beginning."
Zi Yang Zhenren said with a bitter face: "I thought that the group of people led by him would soon be defeated and killed, but recently they have really made a name for themselves. Who would have thought that a group of rabble gathered temporarily could repeatedly annihilate the Dingguang Sect's looting team. The legend of the immortals suppressing bandits has spread all over the mortal world, and the name of our sect has become famous among mortals."
"The Dingguang Immortal Sect knows they are in the wrong and has not come to negotiate yet, but judging from the battle record reported by the Rabbit Suppression Alliance, it is likely that they will come soon."
"We still don't know whether we will go to war with Dingguang Immortal Sect. Once the war officially starts, spirit stones will be spent like water and there won't be enough!"
Master Zhang had always coveted the position of the head of the sect, and had always hoped that Master Zi Yang would pass the position to him after his ascension. However, after listening to the complaints of his senior brother who was the head of the sect, he couldn't help but feel uneasy, and instead felt that he was not at peace sitting in this position.
"I'm grateful for your advice. What the head master said is absolutely right. It's my fault that I have a narrow mindset and think too simply."
"Humph, I want to see what means Wen Rui has to force me to pay back the money."
True Man Zi Yang acted like an immortal and said proudly, "Even if he invites those demon immortals from the Lishan Immortal Sect, I can't beat them, so I'll just try to cheat them, right? At worst, I'll damage my body and escape from my soul to complain to the ancestor. Then, instead of paying the debt, I'll ask that guy named Wen to compensate me with 1 billion spirit stones!"
Hearing this, Master Zhang rolled his eyes and thought to himself, "Master, you have a very broad mind. If I were the ancestor, even if you could extort 1 billion, I would still remember this shameful act of yours."
In the past, there were many cases where disciples of the Chan sect were bullied by disciples of the Jie sect and then ran back to find their parents. They were not averse to such embarrassing behavior. Their ancestors had all shown such a broad eye, and through the influence of their superiors, their subordinates had inherited the fine tradition.
……
Wen Rui returned to the Jinling, sat on the captain's command platform, and gave orders directly with the courage he had when he commanded thousands of troops: "Sister Li Mo, please go to the bow deck and be ready for battle."
Li Moxian curled her lips: "We still have to fight..." Wen Rui warned in a very serious tone: "Sister Li Mo, remember, you must not harm the lives of the immortal disciples of Ziyang Immortal Sect. You only need to block their magical powers and immortal methods that attack the flying boat. You are not allowed to take action against disciples below the immortal level. The defense system of my flying boat can handle it."
After all, he was a former Chief of Staff of a country. When Commander Wen Rui's aura came into play, Li Moshen sensed the solemnity and murderous intent, and became much more cautious. She nodded and walked out of the bridge command hall.
"Attention all departments, this is not a drill, the entire ship is on combat duty!"
After hearing Rui's loud order, all the crew members of the Little Demon immediately perked up and started debugging the equipment at their respective posts. The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense and solemn.
The interns had never seen such a scene before, and were infected by the atmosphere and stopped smiling. Even the most mischievous little crow shrank into a quail and stood at attention.
Cheng Ziwei was also on the ship, standing with her master He Lingyun, not far from Wen Rui. Looking at him up close, he didn't have the temperament of a black-hearted businessman at all. When he was serious, he looked murderous and his demeanor was many times higher.
A man's appearance, whether beautiful or ugly, is vulnerable to his temperament. Even if he looks as beautiful as a flower, he is not as manly as one who has tremendous power to kill.
Only then did Cheng Ziwei understand why Master He was so fond of that ugly man. Indeed, compared with ordinary men, there was a certain indescribable feeling between him and others.
He really can't be compared to a handsome guy like Gu Changfeng.
However, she would never admit that Master He and Sect Leader Wen were a good match. In her mind, no stinky man could be worthy of a fairy like Master who was both beautiful and intelligent!
"Weapon system fully charged!"
A raccoon spirit reported over the intercom that it was Rocket, the artillery commander on the Golden Spirit, in charge of the overall weapons system.
Wen Rui ordered: "Send out ground troops, 300 specialized O-type robots for underground operations, and 100 O-type robots for engineering soldiers."
The paratrooper launch cabins under the giant ship were launched one after another, and cylindrical metal tanks were shot towards the ground. After landing, the metal tanks opened their hatches, and a group of Olympic robots rushed out, digging holes on the spot and diving into the ground.
The Qingfeng Mountain Bagua Mountain Protection Array was activated again, and several purple light barriers rose into the sky, enveloping the entire mountain.
……
In the Zi Yang Cave, through the Yuanguang Treasure Mirror, Zhenren Zi Yang and Zhenren Zhang also saw the scene where the golden giant ship began to deploy troops.
They ignored the metal puppets. The combat power of those puppets was equivalent to that of Jindan cultivators, and there were only a few hundred of them, which was not worth mentioning.
The image in the round mirror froze on the fairy girl standing on the bow deck.
"Li Moxian, the 'Sad Heaven Sword' among the Five Immortals of Lishan!" Immortal Ziyang said solemnly, "No wonder Wen Rui is so confident, it turns out he invited this evil star. Immediately warn the elders and disciples in the sect not to act rashly, so as to avoid unnecessary casualties."
"I thought he was just threatening me, but judging from his attitude, he really wants to clear out my Ziyang Immortal Sect." Master Zhang said in a hoarse voice, "Is he going to drive us all down Qingfeng Mountain and seize my Ziyang Cave?"
“Humph, if we refuse to leave, will Li Moxian still be able to kill us all?” True Man Zi Yang sneered, “My mountain protection formation was set up by my ancestor himself. If Li Moxian dares to attack the formation, my ancestor will have a reason to attack her. Even if I kill her, the Mother of Mount Li and my ancestor will not be able to get away with it if they make trouble in front of the saint.”
Master Zhang quickly called his disciples to pass the message, ordering the entire sect to guard the gates carefully and not to act rashly in the face of provocation.
With Li Moxian attracting attention, the underground action team that was dispatched encountered no obstacles and successfully sneaked into the underground of Qingfeng Mountain and began the engineering work that Wen Rui was best at.
I won't move unless the enemy moves. The two sides confronted each other with swords drawn. All the Zi Yang disciples gathered in the mountain protection formation, swearing to defend the sect to the death.
In the atmosphere of facing a formidable enemy, Zi Yang's disciples could not help but talk about it.
"What's going on? I heard that Boss Wen came to collect a debt and wanted to attack my sect if we don't agree with him?"
"Is he crazy? A mere mortal leading troops to attack an immortal sect must have matched up with the wrong person."
"It's hard to say. Judging from the serious attitude of the head elders, this matter doesn't seem to be simple. Maybe he invited the Jiejiao immortals to help him, just like his father Wen Zhong did five hundred years ago. That's why he came with such a fierce force."
"Humph, I don't believe he dares to do anything to us. Don't forget that his father failed in such a heinous act five hundred years ago. Can he be better than his father?"
