Chapter 505: Haori's Inside Story, Too Good
Chapter 505: Haori's Inside Story, Too Good
"According to speculation, Yun Zhenxian doesn't want Luo Sanxian to be resurrected too quickly."
In the Ziweiyuan Palace of the Nine Mountains Realm, Senior Sister Zhang was looking at the message sent by Zheng Fa while analyzing it with Shi Nandang and the others.
Shi Nandang listened carefully, as if comparing the past events of Hao Ri with his own memories.
Although Xie Qingxue who was standing by was not from Haori Mountain, as a direct disciple of the Tianhe Sect Leader, she also knew a lot about Haori Mountain. At this time, she was also listening attentively, frowning and thinking.
Senior Sister Zhang continued, "Hao Ri Mountain is quite different from the Tai Shang Dao sect."
Xie Qingxue asked: "Different?"
"They have too few Dao fruits."
Xie Qingxue slapped the hilt of her sword and said, "That's true. Not to mention the two families of Taishang Dao and Leiyin, even Yaochi seems to have more than three Dao Fruits."
Indeed more than that.
Although there are not many true immortals among the four sects in the Xuanwei Realm, it does not mean that they only have a few people - for example, Yao Chi seems to be bullied to death by Leiyin Temple.
But the three people whose Dao fruits can be confirmed are Yao Chi Jellyfish, Nishang Yuanjun and Jile Tiannu.
We can even speculate from the information revealed intentionally or unintentionally by Nishang Yuanjun that there should be other Taoist fruits in Yaochi.
Only in Haori Mountain, judging from the three holy temples and the three tribes, there are only three Tao fruits.
Shi Nandang also nodded and said, "Since ancient times, there have only been three ancestors in Haori Mountain. I have never heard of any other ancestors."
After saying this, confusion showed up on both his and Xie Qingxue's faces, as if they didn't understand why Haori Mountain only had these three Dao Fruits.
"My junior brother and I have a guess." Senior Sister Zhang said, "Most of the resources in Haori Mountain have been used by Lu Yao."
"Saint..." Shi Nan said a word, and then realized that it was wrong, so he changed his words and said, "Lu Yao?"
When the name Lu Yao was called out, a sneaky sense of excitement emerged on Shi Nandang's face.
"Lu Yao has achieved the Golden Immortal status three times. Even if we don't count the Demon King's lifetime, it must be two times. So, Haori Mountain has actually cultivated two Golden Immortals, but these two people are both Lu Yao."
Xie Qingxue understood a little: "In other words, Lu Yao spent a lot of resources to make it difficult for others in Haori Mountain to achieve Dao Fruit?"
Senior Sister Zhang nodded: "Only this can explain why there are so few Dao Fruit cultivators cultivated in Haori Mountain. Even Lu Yao needs the help of Leiyin Temple to achieve the Golden Immortal Dao in this life. I'm afraid that the resources of Haori Mountain are really not enough."
Xie Qingxue and Shi Nandang looked at each other and nodded slightly, thinking that this idea was very possible.
Shi Nandang asked again: "What does this have to do with Yun Zhenxian?"
"Nishang Yuanjun said that Yun Zhenxian attained enlightenment very early. And because Lu Yao temporarily transformed into the Demon Ancestor and temporarily went to Leiyin Temple, he has actually been the true ruler of Haori Mountain since the Demon Ancestor Era."
"On the one hand, all the resources have been used by Lu Yao, so Yun Zhenxian has little hope of advancing."
"On the other hand, Lu Yaojiu is not in Haori Mountain, and Yun Zhenxian is the actual master of Haori Mountain."
Xie Qingxue and the other person listened and fell into deep thought.
"But does Immortal Yun still dare to resist Lu Yao?"
Xie Qingxue felt that Yun Zhenxian was a little aggrieved and might be a little ambitious, but as long as he was not stupid, he would definitely not dare to disobey Lu Yao.
"I dare not, but there is Luo Sanxian." Senior Sister Zhang shook her head and said, "If it weren't for Junior Brother getting some information from Nishang Yuanjun, and me using the Xiantian Bagua to deduce it, I still wouldn't be able to figure it out."
"Luo Sanxian?"
"Nishang Yuanjun said that in this era, Luo Sanxian is the one who is in charge of Haori Mountain. Although I don't know why, Yun Zhenxian is not in charge anymore."
"Indeed." Shi Nandang confirmed, "Although all three ancestors have issued edicts, Lu Yao has the least, while Luo Sanxian has the most frequent edicts. Logically, it should be Yun Zhenxian."
Xie Qingxue understood: "Is Yun Zhenxian unwilling?"
Senior Sister Zhang shook her head: "From the perspective that he seems to be delaying Luo Sanxian's resurrection, he at least has some resentment. Moreover, if the Xianjian Sword is really refined by Luo Sanxian, it is hard to say who will have the final say in Haori Mountain in the future."
"No matter how gentle Yun Zhenxian's temperament is, he is not a clay figure."
……
Yun Zhenxian looked at Zheng Fa with an unpredictable expression and a look of oppression in his eyes.
Zheng Fa lowered his head, thinking about his and Senior Sister Zhang's speculations in his heart - although the situation inside Haori Mountain is not as tense as that in Yaochi, there are undercurrents as well.
In the past, the three Dao Fruits of Haori Mountain had a clear seating order:
The boss Lu Yao, the Golden Immortal.
The second in command is Yun Zhenxian.
The third in command is naturally Luo Sanxian.
The problem is that in this era, Luo Sanxian has risen against the trend. If he gets the Xianjian Sword, he will not be afraid of Yun Zhenxian at all.
Of course, Yun Zhenxian might also be broad-minded and not mind too much.
But when Zheng Fa went up the mountain, he observed one thing - the two Yunluo tribes were not very harmonious and seemed to be fighting for the territory of the second inner city.
This shows the strength of the Luo clan in this era.
On the other hand, this also reflects that Yun Zhenxian does not seem to be completely without opinion.
It is also difficult to have no opinions at all: not only is the path restricted, but even the power is gone.
Yun Zhenxian turned around and looked at the angry Luo clan gods who still kept their anger on their shoulders: "What Shi Nandang said is not without reason."
"I still need to investigate the rights and wrongs."
The people of the Luo clan looked at each other, some anger on their faces, but they didn't dare to say anything more. They just looked at Zheng Fa with increasingly gloomy eyes.
"I will also report the matter of the trapped immortal sword to the First Ancestor and then make a decision."
Yun Zhenxian seemed to ignore these looks and said coldly: "Except Shi Nandang, the rest of you should retreat first."
"……Yes!"
The people of the three tribes looked at each other, not daring to disobey, but they all glanced at Zheng Fa when they passed by.
There was some curiosity in the eyes of the people of the Yun Clan.
But the people from the Lu and Luo tribes all looked unhappy.
After everyone left the Three Saints Palace, Yun Zhenxian stared at Zheng Fa with a cold look in his eyes. He suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the top of Zheng Fa's head.
Several runes emerged from his palm and fell into Zheng Fa's Niwan Palace.
Zheng Fa felt as if his soul was twitching and about to be torn apart.
The Nine Nether Talisman activated on its own and connected with these runes.
After three breaths, Yun Zhenxian's palm left Zheng Fa's forehead.
He looked at Zheng Fa, who was sweating profusely, and the suspicion in his eyes disappeared a lot.
"You are so brave."
"Disciples don't dare."
"What are you afraid of? How dare you accuse Luo Zushi without any evidence?"
"Disciple, I really don't understand." Zheng Fa whispered, "I just want to stay alive."
Yun Zhenxian smiled faintly and said, "You are quite honest."
"All disciples speak the truth."
"Truth? Or are you trying to use me?"
Zheng Fa stopped talking, seemingly at a loss for words.
Yun Zhenxian looked at him for a long time before he said, "As you wish, I will investigate. Please leave."
Zheng Fa bowed and took his leave.
As soon as he left the hall, the door slammed shut, almost hitting his face.
Thanks to the Nine Nether Talisman, Yun Zhenxian didn't seem to find any flaws, but that didn't mean he wanted to protect himself.
Just as he said, he was ultimately suspected of taking advantage of Yun Zhenxian. If we talk about disrespect, he was extremely disrespectful to Yun Zhenxian.
Now, in order to save his life, Yun Zhenxian also wants to use him.
As for why he was using me, it was nothing more than to suppress Luo Sanxian's prestige and hinder his resurrection.
This is somewhat consistent with his own thoughts - except that his target is Lu Yao!
Whether Luo Sanxian is dead or alive, he is not that big a threat to Zheng Fa.
However, Lu Yao's three-time Golden Immortal certification would affect the survival of the Jiushan Sect. Therefore, although he came to Haori Mountain to infiltrate the Tianhe Sect, he also wanted to find out Lu Yao's background:
Don't say anything that would undermine their teaching.
At least we can figure out Lu Yao's situation and even determine how long it will take to find this person.
He looked behind the Three Saints Temple and heard from Shi Nandang that behind the snowy peak there was a forbidden area called Haori Mountain, which was said to be related to Lu Yao.
But Zheng Fa didn’t know how to enter for a moment.
After thinking for a long time, he still had no clue. He turned around and his eyes fell on the air.
Thirteen Luo clan monks stood in the air and looked at Zheng Fa with cold eyes.
In the void behind them, there were people from the Lu and Yun tribes watching.
Everyone's eyes were on Zheng Fa.
No, the Luo tribe not only did not wait overnight to seek revenge, but also did it in a big way, calling on their friends and relatives.
Zheng Fa was shocked by the arrogance of the three tribes.
He glanced at the palace door behind him and saw that it was closed. It seemed that Yun Zhenxian in the palace did not see this scene at all.
At the gate of the three palaces, Zheng Fa was the only one standing alone, facing a dozen Luo clan monks.
……
In the palace.
A Yun Clan cultivator came out from the side of the high platform, and seemed to have seen Zheng Fa's situation outside the hall. He asked respectfully, "Holy Ancestor, did you leave Shi Nandang behind to strike at the Luo Clan? To prevent them from reviving Patriarch Luo?"
Perhaps this person is a confidant, Yun Zhenxian even explained: "Before, this group of people said insinuations that I was delaying... This Shi Nandang came at the right time."
The man nodded and laughed, "I'm not afraid of Patriarch Luo, I'm only afraid of the First Patriarch. If my Yun Clan takes action, it's easy to cause disputes."
Yun Zhenxian was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Does Shi Nandang have any old grudges against my Yun clan?"
"It's just wishful thinking. I just didn't realize he had the guts to do it."
"Not only is he not related to my Yun Clan, he is actually from the Lu Clan, the first ancestor... it's not my fault." Yun Zhenxian said softly, "Nephew Luo is also tired, so let him rest for two more days."
"Then why should we allow them to seek revenge on Shi Nandang?"
Yun Zhenxian smiled lightly and glanced at Zheng Fa through the palace door: "This man has no respect for others in order to survive. His death is not a pity."
"But if he is killed by the Luo clan, wouldn't that ruin the Saint Ancestor's plans?"
"It's better to die."...
Outrageous.
Doesn’t Yun Zhenxian want to wait for these people to kill him and then enforce the law impartially?
"Shi Nandang, you slandered the Holy Ancestor!" The old man in the previous hall looked down at Zheng Fa and shouted, his voice echoing throughout the entire mountainside, "Your crime deserves death!"
Many disciples of Haori Mountain were attracted by the sound and flew to the vicinity to watch from afar.
Zheng Fa glanced around.
His eyes passed over a somewhat familiar face:
This is Shi Nandang’s master—a direct descendant of the Lu clan, who has achieved the level of corpse transformation.
He also looked at himself with a distant gaze.
"Why don't you save your disciple?"
"His surname is not Lu." Shi Nandang said, "Even if his surname is Lu, he is guilty of the death penalty for accusing Luo Zu."
When Zheng Fa heard this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
The group of cultivators from Haori Mountain can see it clearly.
With Shi Nandang's identity, offending Luo Sanxian was a real subversion of the Hao Rishan system, which was enough to make Zheng Fa stand on the opposite side of the three tribes.
Including the Lu tribe.
In the distance, there were some disciples of Hao Ri Mountain who were not from the three clans. They were not qualified to enter the three palaces, so naturally they didn’t know what was going on.
Zheng Fa withdrew his gaze and looked at the old man from the Luo clan above his head.
The old man said again: "Hand over your soul seal and I will spare your life."
Are you talking about Shi Nandang's soul seal?
To be honest, he really has...
It seems that the Luo clan is not stupid and knows that killing Shi Nandang will have some consequences.
"Which of my words are false?" Zheng Fa said, "The Xianjian Sword was destroyed in the hands of Luo Zushi!"
"Even if Grandmaster Luo were to be resurrected, he wouldn't be able to say no!"
His voice was so loud that not only could the Luo clan monks hear it, but even the Hao Ri disciples in the distance could hear it clearly.
"How dare you slander the Holy Ancestor!"
The old man roared, and red light shone all over his body, revealing his yang spirit.
In his Yang Shen's hand, he held a divine fire bead with fire snakes wrapped around it, burning the air and making it crackle.
As the hidden leader of the Luo clan, this old man is naturally very powerful and has reached the last step before the Dao Fruit, the corpse transformation realm.
"As I remember, this Shi Nandang is a spirit, right?"
A cultivator from the Lu clan beside Master Shi Nandang spoke.
Master Shi Nandang nodded.
"Then he dares to provoke the Luo clan."
"He was going to die."
"Too."
The Lu clan cultivator looked at Shi Nandang with some pity in his eyes.
……
Zheng Fa's mind moved, and golden light burst out from his whole body, and he actually released his Yang Spirit.
His Yangshen now changed his appearance:
There are nine balls of light surrounding the Yang God, which are the Nine-Light Yang God secretly passed down from Haori Mountain.
Not only that, he also held a wooden longbow.
It was difficult to transform into stone, so Zheng Fa naturally changed his skills and even his own magic weapon.
"Corpse?"
Master Shi Nandang shouted in a low voice, obviously extremely surprised.
"No wonder he is so courageous." The Lu clan cultivator who spoke earlier was silent for a long time, and also whispered, "What a pity."
No one expected that Shi Nandang actually had the ability to transform into a corpse!
With Shi Nandang's cultivation level, if he had no crime, there would be no obstacle for him to be granted the title of the direct descendant of the Lu clan.
However, from the moment the immortal sword was destroyed, Shi Nandang was destined to not be able to join the Lu clan.
"I don't know whether your vision is good or bad."
Hearing this, Master Shi Nandang's eyes were also complicated, but after looking at the people from the Luo clan, he shook his head.
……
In the hall, the man from the Yun Clan was also stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Yun Zhenxian and said, "Holy Ancestor, this Shi Nandang is actually a corpse?"
Yun Zhenxian's lips curled up slightly, as if he had already seen it: "He has some talent."
"Then he..."
"Does the Luo clan have many corpse-reincarnations?" Yun Zhenxian asked back.
"The Holy Ancestor is right."
The people of the Yun Clan understood as soon as they heard it, that the Holy Ancestor still did not think highly of Zheng Fa.
He thought about it and smiled again: "This is a good thing. The stronger this stone is, the more trouble it will bring to the Lu clan."
……
"Is this what you rely on?" The fire dragon on the old man's divine fire bead paused, and then laughed, "You think..."
"You talk a lot."
Zheng Fa muttered softly, and Jiuyao Yangshen stretched out his arms, pulled the longbow, condensed a golden arrow, pointed it at the old man, and shot it out fiercely.
"You think your life is too long!"
The old man threw the precious pearl in his hand, wrapped with a fire snake, and rushed straight to where Zheng Fa was.
The golden arrow and the precious orb collided violently in the air.
boom!
Everyone watched as the fire snake wrapped in the pearl wailed, as if it had encountered a natural enemy, and fell to the ground with the pearl.
Zheng Fa's golden arrow, however, still had its force left, and shot straight into the old man's chest.
The old man didn't expect that the golden arrow was so powerful. It shot down his own magic weapon with one arrow. He was stunned for a moment. When the golden arrow was about to hit him, he finally reacted and dodged backwards, but he couldn't avoid it. His shoulder was pierced and he flew backwards onto the golden and jade steps.
He lay on the ground, feeling a moment of silence around him, and there was still some confusion in his eyes.
There was only the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer. When he turned around, he saw a pair of boots slowly coming into his sight.
He tilted his head slightly and saw Shi Nandang, whom he had just looked down upon, standing on a step higher, looking down at him.
"Direct descendant of the Luo family?" There was not much hatred in Zheng Fa's tone, not even much disdain, it just sounded like he was sighing.
But the faces of all the people from the three tribes turned red and white.
However, the eyes of the monks who were watching on the sidelines sparkled with wonder, but they did not dare to say anything.
Everyone was watching as Shi Nandang, a person who was not from any of the three tribes, stood proudly in front of a direct descendant of the Luo tribe, his heart wavering.
This scene has appeared countless times in the history of Haori Mountain.
But today, the person standing and the person lying on the ground have switched identities.
……
Inside the palace.
Yun Zhenxian suddenly stood up, frowning.
"Holy Ancestor?" the Yun Clan cultivator asked in surprise, "Why is this stone so powerful?"
Yun Zhenxian stared at Zheng Fa with a look of confusion and bewilderment.
Obviously, he didn't expect this.
"Do the people of the Nara clan still dare to take action?"
The Yun clan cultivator murmured.
Yun Zhenxian was also silent.
I dare not.
Zheng Fa defeated the Luo clan corpse cultivator with one arrow, causing the other Luo clan members to panic:
Although there is more than one of them who has achieved corpse transformation, the highest level is corpse transformation.
Now, Zheng Fa has seriously injured a corpse-transmutation monk with just one arrow. They don't know Zheng Fa's strength, so they are naturally afraid of him.
Speaking of which, Zheng Fa's Yuanshen Fa had made a lot of reference to the "Chixiao Jade Book" and was very familiar with the Jiuyao Yangshen.
More importantly, Shi Nandang's Sunset Bow is almost regarded as a standard life-saving magic weapon of Haori Mountain - usually made of Haori mulberry.
There is no Haorisang in Haori Mountain now.
Zheng Fa naturally didn’t have it either, but he had the ancestor of Hao Risang - the Fusang tree!
He transformed the Jade Book of Creation into the shape of a sunset bow, but it was actually not as good as Shi Nandang's original version:
After all, Shi Nandang has been forging the Sunset Bow for tens of thousands of years.
Even if Zheng Fa was a corpse, he would not dare to say that the Sunset Bow he conjured up was more powerful than Shi Nandang's.
But he happened to have the Fusang wood, a top-level spiritual root that had a deep connection with the Haori Mountain martial arts, and was even vaguely compatible with the Sunset Bow.
Although the arrow just now did not exert the full power of the Fuso wood, it was still better than ordinary corpse transformation:
If Zheng Fa had not been too afraid and held back, the old man would have been seriously injured and dying.
He was a little speechless. His use of Nine-Star Yang God and Sunset Bow was even more powerful than the original Yuanshen Method - after all, the Jade Book of Creation was not very good at fighting, and the Sunset Bow could actually make use of the Fusang wood.
Zheng Fa ignored these people and slowly walked down the stairs.
Master Shi Nandang looked at his back getting farther and farther away, opened his mouth, but had to close it again.
The Lu Clan's incarnation beside him sighed softly:
"Your vision is too good, and too bad."
