Yuqing Daoism, in the Yuqing Grand Hall.
After Reverend Yu Hua heard the words of Elder Hu and the others, his face was filled with shock.
"I can't believe this kid is so powerful!"
"What a pity, what a pity! Even though he's practicing the Body Tempering Technique, if he were to become a disciple of our sect, he would be able to inherit our sect's orthodoxy in less than a hundred years. He would surpass us and become the hope of our sect's rise!" Yuhua Zhenren sighed.
"That's right. It's a pity that this kid is so stubborn. Patriarch, do you want me to kidnap him and bring him back?" Old Master Hu asked.
That was what he wanted to do the most right now.
"No, we're all righteous. How can we tolerate the despicable actions of the Demon Sect?" Yuhua Zhenren said sternly.
Elder Hu sighed with a face full of unwillingness.
"Elder Hu, even though this kid didn't join our sect, but no matter what, he's still a member of our Righteous Dao Sect. We have to protect and help him, and we can't allow this kid to be brutally harmed by the Devil Sect and die in his prime.
If this kid grows up in the future, he'll be the hope of the righteous sects of the Da Xia dynasty! "Yuhua Zhenren said earnestly.
"Yes!" Old Master Hu cupped his hands. He knew that the Patriarch cared about the people of the world. Everything he did was for the sake of the big picture.
"Sect Master, Sect Master, something bad has happened!" At this moment, an elder ran in with a panicked expression, holding a wooden box in his hands.
"What happened to Old Master Ma?" Yuhua Zhenren's heart skipped a beat. His face was tense.
He had heard too much bad news in the past few days.
First, Tianshui Pavilion was destroyed by The Evil Child.
Then, he heard that the Black Dragon Demon was born in Yunzhou's Lehai and flooded three cities.
Not long ago, he heard that the Nether Demon School had colluded with the Northern Desert's Wolf King to invade the Da Xia dynasty's Mozhou.
Now, the last thing he wanted to hear was "something bad has happened".
Of course, the thing that worried him the most was The Evil Child who had disappeared after destroying Tianshui Pavilion.
He guessed that The Evil Child had been sealed for so many years that his strength had been greatly reduced.
Although he destroyed Tianshui Pavilion, he might have been severely injured by Shan Ruoshui's Primordial Spirit Essence Blood Sword.
Therefore, he could be hiding to recuperate, or he could have left the Great Xia Dynasty.
As long as The Evil Child was not killed, he would always be.
Therefore, every time he heard Elder Ma shout "Oh no!"
His first time, his first thought would be the Evil Child was.
"Patriarch, Elder Xu, Elder Chu, and Old Master Liu have been captured by the Nether Demon School. Just now, the Nether Demon School sent someone to deliver … Old Master Liu's head!" Old Master Ma said solemnly.
Soon after, he presented the wooden box in his hand, which contained a head.
"What!" Yuhua Zhenren felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck his brain.
Looking at Old Master Liu's head, his heart was filled with grief.
"Bastard, Mo Lin, that bastard!" Yuhua Zhenren was furious. He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked.
Thick spiritual energy exploded from his body. His Taoist robe flapped loudly, and his eyes were filled with anger.
Elder Xu, Elder Chu, and Elder Liu were supposed to lead a group of disciples.
They were supposed to go to Yunzhou to subdue the Black Dragon Demon and save the people.
They did not expect the Nether Demon School to attack them at this time.
They even killed Old Master Liu.
How could Yuhua Zhenren not be enraged?
"Mo Lin, are you declaring war on Yuqing Daoism?" Yuhua Zhenren's gaze was murderous.
Although he did not want to start a war with the Nether Demon School.
He did not want the people to be plunged into misery and suffering.
Moreover, the world was not peaceful now. Demons were wreaking havoc everywhere, and The Evil Child was also a threat.
However, it was clear that the Nether Demon School could not wait any longer.
This war was unavoidable!
"Bastard Mo Lin, Patriarch, I'm willing to lead people to save people!" Old Master Hu's eyes were red. He was so angry that his beard was blowing and his eyes were glaring. He could not hold it in any longer.
"Um … Patriarch … Mo Lin also said that he wants you to go to the Northern Chill City in Mozhou and negotiate with him. If you don't go, he'll … send a head here every day!" Old Master Ma's voice became softer and softer.
However, he quickly shouted, "Patriarch, this must be a conspiracy. Don't fall into Mo Lin's trap!"
"Yes, Patriarch, I'm afraid this is a trap. Don't be rash. Let's think about it carefully!" Another Elder, surnamed Chen, also tried to persuade him.
He knew that Yuhua Zhenren was very protective. He would not be able to suppress his anger after seeing the Old Master Liu killed and his disciples captured.
"If I don't go, Elder Xu and the others will all die!
Even if Mo Lin wants to set up a trap, I have to go. Otherwise, how can I face my disciples in the future? "Yuhua Zhenren was really angry.
He could not bear to see the elders and disciples of his sect being killed one by one.
"Patriarch, you can't go. Let me go. I'll bring some people to meet Mo Lin. If it's really a trap, I don't care if I die!" Old Master Hu said.
"Old Master Hu, don't add to the trouble. We have to stay calm at this time. We can't fall into Mo Lin's trap!" Elder Chen shouted.
Old Master Hu snorted and did not say anything else.
The hall fell into a long silence.
Yuhua Zhenren was also struggling internally. If he went, he might really be in danger.
If he did not go, he would not be able to live with his conscience. If he watched his sect members being killed, his Dao Heart would be damaged in the future.
He would not be able to face his disciples in the future.
He did not want to be seen as a coward, and he did not want to be despised by the world.
However, at this moment, another disciple came to report that Zhu Xiaotian of the Liang Province's Zhu family had come to see Yuhua Zhenren. He had something important to tell him.
"Bring him here quickly!" Yuhua Zhenren said.
Not long after, Zhu Xiaotian was brought into the hall. After greeting each other, Zhu Xiaotian went straight to the point. "Patriarch Yuhua, I'm sure you've heard about the Nether Demon School colluding with the Northern Desert's Wolf King to conquer the Mo Province!"
"Yes!" Yuhua Zhenren nodded solemnly.
"The Zhu family's intelligence network also found out a very shocking piece of news. It's about the Nether Demon School. That's why I'm here to tell you, Patriarch!" Zhu Xiaotian continued.
"Please speak, Young Master Zhu!"
"It's said that Mo Lin is forging a peerless Demon Sword …" Zhu Xiaotian told Yuhua Zhenren about Mo Lin's forging of the Demon Sword.
"And he's currently missing someone with the Metal Spiritual Body!"
Yuhua Zhenren, Elder Chen, Old Master Hu, and the others were all shocked. They looked at each other.
"Patriarch, I told you that there's a conspiracy behind this negotiation. He kidnapped Elder Xu and the others to lure you over. Patriarch, you can't go no matter what!" Elder Chen advised again.
Everyone knew that Yuhua Zhenren had the Metal Spiritual Body. Mo Lin's motive was obvious.
Yuhua Zhenren was silent. He was also weighing the pros and cons.
If he really fell into a trap and Mo Lin succeeded, and the Demon Sword was born, then the world would be in trouble.
"That's right, Patriarch Yu Hua, you must remain calm at this time. It's better to sacrifice a small number of people than to slaughter the world.
Now that the Nether Demon School has colluded with Wolf King to take over the Mozhou, it's bound to attract the wrath of the heavens and the hatred of the people.
Why don't you take this opportunity, Patriarch Yu Hua, and unite all the righteous sects of the Da Xia dynasty to suppress the Nether Demon School?
As far as I know, His Majesty is preparing to send his elite troops to the Mozhou. When the time comes, the Da Xia dynasty's cavalry will restrain Wolf King's army. Yuhua Zhenren can then take the opportunity to lead the righteous sects to attack the Nether Demon School. Even if they can't destroy it in one fell swoop, they can at least severely damage the Nether Demon School and prevent the Demon Sword from being born! "
