Chapter 290 A desperate move

Everyone was stunned. Lou He glanced at Li Wuxiang, then looked away. Xiao Suo frowned, "Great Tribulation Master? Senior Sister... are you saying that there is another True Immortal in this world?"

"Yes."

"Then this True Immortal is also alive?"

"This True Lord has not yet achieved enlightenment. He was sealed out by Donghuang Taiyi using the Donghuang Seal under the Nether Nine Abyss when he saved the world." Mei Qiulu said slowly, "As for whether he is alive or not, since the previous thirty-six True Lords were alive, this one should also be alive after achieving enlightenment."

"It's just that Taiyi said to Li Wuxiang--"

Xiao Suo raised his hands and clasped his fists: "Senior Sister, please forgive me for being rude. You just said that Senior Brother Li had invited Emperor Taiyi to the Great Tribulation Mountain before, so Emperor Taiyi borrowed his Yin God to save the world. Then, can you ask Senior Brother Li to tell you about these things in person?"

Mei Qiulu nodded to Li Wuxiang, and he took a step forward: "Okay. Senior Brother Xiao, Emperor Taiyi told me that this Great Tribulation True Lord was born to help the Taiyi Sect. But Emperor Taiyi didn't say what to do if he survives in the future."

He felt that he was telling the truth. Part of the truth.

Mei Qiulu did not say that Donghuang Taiyi was alive, and Li Wuxiang completely understood. Trust between people is extremely rare. Senior Sister Mei knew his past, knew about the external evil, and was of the same mind as him. She was also at the Yangshen realm and could glimpse some of the secrets, so she believed it immediately after hearing these things.

But if it were someone else, even myself, after hearing these words, the first reaction would be to wonder if the person saying these words has evil spirits entering his body, and the second reaction would be to wonder if this person is harboring evil intentions?

And he couldn't lie to Mei Qiulu about this matter. Things supported by lies, even if the purpose is just, may not have good results in the future. Moreover, he had already seen how powerful Yuan Xin was, and he didn't know what kind of disaster would be brought about by lying about this matter.

Therefore, the two decided not to tell the swordsmen about Donghuang Taiyi. They had already experienced a resurrection from the dead, and if the next thing was the destruction of their faith, even the strongest of hearts would not be able to bear it.

After hearing what he said, Xiao Suo frowned and thought for a while: "So, Senior Brother Li, do you mean to ask our sect to enshrine another person to worship this Great Tribulation True Lord?"

"Yes."

Xiao Suo nodded, was silent for a moment, and sighed: "We are as close as brothers and sisters in this sect, so we always speak our mind. Brother Li, your body is also supported by us, so what I am going to say next is not because I don't believe you, nor do I want to embarrass you, I just want to ask you clearly to avoid trouble in the future."

Being honest is a good thing, and speaking freely is also a good thing. But Li Wuxiang knew that because of this good tradition of Taiyi Sect, he was afraid that he would have a headache.

He raised his hands, clasped his fists, and bowed: "I remember the friendship between you fellow disciples. Senior Brother Xiao, please speak."

Xiao Suo nodded again: "I believe that you, Senior Brother Li, have really seen the true spirit of Emperor Taiyi. I really can't think of anyone else who can do this kind of magical power to reshape the world."

"I think we need to think carefully about the matter of worshipping the Great Tribulation True Lord. Your Majesty, let me say something very disrespectful - the Great Emperor Taiyi has been defeated before, and since he will be defeated, he will make mistakes. If he makes a mistake once, he will make it a second time."

"The thirty-six true gods are alive, I believe that. For the past three thousand years, our sect has always despised the behavior of the thirty-six sects because they would consume the lifespan of mortals to invite the true spirits and supernatural powers of the thirty-six true gods. Now that you have told Sister Mei this, I feel relieved - it turns out that they are already evil gods, no wonder they need such offerings."

"So the Great Emperor can't do anything to them now, right? If so, if our sect offers another Great Tribulation True Lord, he will also be alive - Senior Sister Mei, the original thirty-six True Immortals also followed the Great Emperor to benefit the people, but now they have become like this. Is this Great Tribulation True Lord the same? Then, is our approach considered to be drinking poison to quench thirst?"

Li Wuxiang applauded in his heart: Well said!

Xiao Suo is a reasonable person. If I were him, I would probably have the same thoughts.

Just...sigh.

He sighed in his heart and said, "Brother Xiao, maybe I didn't explain it clearly. The thirty-six true lords are actually like this - for example, Siming True Lord Li Jiaotu, when Li Jiaotu became a true immortal, he integrated his body with the Tao, so his temperament and thoughts occupied a ray of Tao luck. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth is actually between life and death, and Li Jiaotu's divine thoughts made it alive. So it is Li Jiaotu, and Li Jiaotu is him."

"When Li Jiaotu became enlightened, he wanted to protect the people of the world at all costs. After the Ye Dynasty was destroyed and Emperor Taiyi was suppressed, Siming Zhenjun still had the same idea. So at this time, he would want to fight the emperors of the six departments at all costs - the various sufferings suffered by the people of the world are also this price."

"What I mean is that Li Jiaotu is now a dead soul. All his thoughts and ideas are left in the past three thousand years, which is the same as the dead souls wandering in the world because of obsession. But if this Great Tribulation Master was alive and not dead yet, he would not be like Siming Master."

Xiao Suo hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Li, did Taiyi tell you this?"

"Yes."

Xiao Suo exhaled softly and looked at Li Wuxiang: "Since this True Lord has not yet attained enlightenment, how can we know what kind of person he will be after he attains enlightenment, and whether he will bring disaster to the world because of a single thought?"

Li Wuxiang did not speak immediately.

Xiao Suo turned his gaze towards Mei Qiulu: "Senior Sister, is it you who wants to prove the true immortality?"

The dozen or so swordsmen behind him were stunned for a moment, then reacted the next moment and immediately went to look at Mei Qiulu.

Mei Qiulu shook her head.

Xiao Suo turned his gaze back to Li Wuxiang: "Brother Li, is that you?"

Li Wuxiang was silent for a moment, then said, "It's me."

The sound of the wind was originally outside the cave, but at this moment, the sound of more than a dozen swordsmen gasping for breath also merged into the sound of the wind and passed through the cave.

At this moment, Xiao Suo seemed stunned, as if he had a premonition in his heart, but once this premonition came true, he was at a loss for a moment. After a long while, he said: "Okay. Okay... I..."

After saying these three words, he shook his head and said, "Senior Sister, Senior Brother Li, can we wait a little longer before discussing this matter?"

Mei Qiulu said softly: "Xiao Suo, now is not the time to slow down. Sima Ming Zhenjun is about to come to the world, and we must make a decision early. Li Wuxiang——"

Xiao Suo sighed, stepped aside and sat down: "Senior Sister, let me take a break. I shouldn't be talking now. I... I don't know if what I say will come from my heart or be fair and just if I continue to talk about this matter now."

"We are talking about... becoming an immortal." He gave a bitter smile, "Yes, becoming an immortal, Senior Sister... To be honest, I am jealous of Senior Brother Li now. I dare not speak out until this feeling has passed. I am afraid that I will be unworthy of my conscience. Now I... Sigh."

Li Wuxiang also sighed in his heart. Xiao Suo was a frank person, but now was not the time to slow down - he was very worried about Zhao Yu.

But it really can't be rushed. It's also something that Mei Qiulu can't suppress with the authority of the leader - now we are talking about offerings, and offerings need to come from the heart, otherwise the offerings will be useless.

I have only been in Taiyi Sect and Sword Sect for a short time, but I suddenly got the favor of Emperor Taiyi and was going to achieve the status of a true immortal. I am afraid that what Xiao Suo said is what the rest of the people are thinking. Others who didn't say it, just don't know what kind of person I am.

There was silence in the cave.

At this time, Lou He's voice was heard.

He took a step forward, held his head straight, and spoke with a hissing sound: "Everyone, listen to me for a few words. You all know my story. Senior Sister Mei originally wanted to kill me, but before that she had to use the magic of the True Form Sect to retrieve Li Wuxiang's Yin Spirit, so she temporarily spared my life."

"I guess some of you have asked Senior Sister what happened, and many of you have pleaded for me. Senior Sister didn't tell me, and now I don't want to hide it anymore." He smiled, "I didn't really want to join the Taiyi Sect at the beginning. I went to Youjiuyuan just for the Netherworld Fragment."

Xiao Suo suddenly raised his head and looked at him, and the rest of the people were also stunned.

"I want to become an immortal - I also want to become an immortal. I think the method to become a true immortal is in the Netherworld Scroll. You all know that Emperor Taiyi became a golden immortal after obtaining the Netherworld Scroll, so I want to find this method from the Netherworld Scroll."

"I left the parish and found Senior Sister Mei. I gave up all my cultivation and asked her to guide me into the sect. After I entered the sect, I felt that I had found a way - that is, to cultivate Guang Chanzi and turn myself into an empty shell."

"I saw the Netherworld Fragments in my sect, and then I returned to the True Form Sect and Coffin City with this empty body. This is because I can use this body to use the power of the will in the Coffin Mountain to rebuild my cultivation and get to the True Form Sect's headquarters again."

Lou He looked solemn, but spoke in a brisk tone: "In order to gain the trust of Wu Meng in Coffin City, I designed to lead several of our fellow disciples to Coffin City to rescue me - you all know about that."

"I met Li Wuxiang in the Coffin City. I told him that the Six Sects of the Mysterious Sect is now protected by the Great Emperor's True Spirit, so our sect is gradually heading towards its end. I originally joined the Sword Sect for the Netherworld Fragments, but after spending decades with you all, I am still doing it for the Netherworld Fragments, but in my heart, I have indeed become a member of the Sword Sect."

"I told Li Wuxiang that for the long-term benefit of our sect, it is worth sacrificing a few swordsmen now, and advised him not to be short-sighted."

"At that time, Li Wuxiang said to me - once this kind of thing starts, people will change. When they are still children, they will cry when they see kittens and dogs being killed, but when they grow up, they can kill people without blinking an eye. Brother Lou, you think it doesn't matter if you sacrifice three fellow disciples today, but tomorrow you will think it's okay to sacrifice the entire Sword Sect?"

"So we started fighting, and after I was defeated by him, I went with him to rescue Zeng."

"As for how he saved Zeng, Senior Sister Mei knows about this. At that time, he was just a Qi cultivator, but Wu Meng in Coffin City was a Spirit cultivator, and he also invited the true spirits of the Five Mountains on the mountain. If Senior Sister Mei hadn't intervened, he would have died in Coffin City at that time."

He paused for a moment and said, "He also advised me afterwards - telling me to think more about what I should and shouldn't do, so as to avoid being unable to turn back in the future. At that time, I felt that everyone had different ambitions and different paths, and it was not necessarily clear who was right and who was wrong. Only now do I feel that I am decades older than him, but I can't see many things as clearly as he does."

At this point, the swordsmen seemed slightly moved. Xiao Suo also frowned in thought, but still did not speak.

Lou He sighed: "These things are nothing to you. What Li Wuxiang did, any of you would have done in his situation at that time. But, there is one more thing——"

"You all know that Li Wuxiang was possessed by an external evil. But what you don't know is that the external evil also possessed me."

A group of people couldn't help but look up at him again. Lou He smiled and said, "Let me ask you, if an external evil possessed you, with great magical powers and unpredictable might, how would you respond? I think some people would choose to die, while others, like me, would think that they could temporarily use this magical power to do what they want."

"But your Senior Brother Li is neither of them. He negotiated with the Outer Evil, wanting to be on an equal footing with him and discuss things with him. Hahahaha! That's why the Outer Evil thought he was a hopeless case, so he turned to me - and when I knew the Outer Evil had possessed him, the first thing he did was to kneel down and worship me!"

Li Wuxiang frowned, feeling that something was not right with Lou He.

Lou He is not a free and easy person, but the frank demeanor he showed when he spoke at this moment is very similar to Zeng Jianqiu.

He couldn't help but whispered: "Brother Lou——"

Lou He turned to look at him: "You still have something to say, right?"

Then he turned to look at Xiao Suo: "Xiao's worry is reasonable. What if this Great Tribulation True Lord is alive in the future? But since the position of True Immortal has been conferred, everyone, someone must prove the truth. At that time, do you hope that it will be someone else who proves the truth, or this Li Wuxiang I told you about?"

"In addition, the thirty-six true immortals are alive. This is because their original bodies are dead, and only one obsession remains. You worship Donghuang Taiyi, and think that our sect is still protected by Taiyi Emperor, but have you ever thought about whether this Donghuang Taiyi is alive or dead?! Can the current Taiyi Emperor really protect our sect?!"

Xiao Suo was stunned, then stood up and shouted angrily: "Lou He! Are you crazy?! You are a traitor!"

Lou He laughed three times, but his neck was still leaking air when he laughed, and it sounded like the howling of ghosts and wolves: "Xiao, with your intelligence, don't you want to slow down before you speak? Think about it carefully, does what I said make sense? You can see clearly that this Great Tribulation Master may be a disaster in the future, but can't Senior Sister Mei, Li Wuxiang, and Ye Di see it clearly? Then why do they want us to worship the Great Tribulation Master's fruit position!?"
