After talking with Lord Daoist Jinghe for a while, Wanhe Tower sent them a message, asking them to go.
Lord Daoist Jinghe immediately stood up. "Let's go watch the show!"
Mo Tiange was speechless. "Master …" So they were going to put on an act?
Lord Daoist Jinghe said, "Why wouldn't we go watch the show?
That old bastard Liu Dingyuan has been arrogant for a thousand years. I've long been annoyed by him. Now that I finally have a chance to see him make a fool of himself, I must go! "
"…" Mo Tiange thought, Master, you're much more arrogant than him. Although Liu Dingyuan also cultivates devil arts, he has a stable mentality because of his identity. Usually, he only uses his power to oppress people. Who told Tiandao Sect to be so powerful?
Qin Xi said, "If I don't let Master go, how can he sit still?"
"Yes, the three of us will go together. We'll make Liu Dingyuan so angry that he vomits blood!"
Lord Daoist Jinghe announced arrogantly then led his two treasured disciples to attack the Wanhe Tower …
The process couldn't be described in detail. In short, the two of them and Lord Daoist Zhenyang successfully angered Liu Dingyuan until his devil aura surged and he almost couldn't control his emotions and started fighting.
Then Lord Daoist Speechless and Daoist Ji rushed over and confronted them.
Xuanqing School and Tiandao Sect started fighting!
This news spread among the high level cultivators in Kunzhong City in less than a day. For a while, people's hearts were shaken and restless.
There were seven late stage Nascent Soul cultivators in the Celestial Pole. Excluding Master Song Feng who either disappeared or went on a killing spree, there were still six left. The two great sects each had two of them. If they really started fighting, it would be the same as turning the world upside down. At that time, it would be good enough to survive the turmoil caused by the fight between the four late stage Nascent Soul cultivators, not to mention resisting the devil path and beast cultivators.
The calmest ones were the disciples of Gujian Sect and Danding School because their Heads were great late stage Nascent Soul cultivators. From this point of view, the effect of a late stage Nascent Soul cultivator on a cultivation sect was immeasurable. It wasn't as simple as having great strength.
Because of this, the Nascent Soul cultivators who stayed in Kunzhong City reached a consensus. They hastily sent a message to the other two Nascent Soul cultivators, as well as Biyun Sect's Ding Luan, Spirit Beast Sect's Hua Lingyun, and other famous figures among the Nascent Soul cultivators to mediate.
At this moment, Householder Heaven Herb was overseeing the Demonic Cultivator Forest while Venerable Swordsman Yuan Ying was guarding Demonic Mountain. When the two of them received the message, they turned pale with fright and immediately rushed back to Kunzhong City.
Householder Heaven Herb arrived first. Since Kunzhong City was close to the Demonic Cultivator Forest, he arrived in less than half a day.
Originally, Venerable Swordsman Yuanying wouldn't have been able to get there so quickly. The distance from Demonic Mountain to Kunzhong City was more than half of Kunwu. Even if he used his Wind Feather Sword as if his life depended on it, it would still take him three to four days to get there.
Fortunately, after establishing contact with Yunzhong, the Celestial Pole also built a long-distance transmission array. Although it wouldn't be used under normal circumstances, this was obviously a special case. Venerable Swordsman Yuanying immediately activated the transmission array and returned to Kunzhong City.
Venerable Swordsman Yuanying, Householder Heaven Herb, Ding Luan, Hua Lingyun, and even Lord Daoist Wu Si of Zhengfa Sect, who usually didn't show up, also hurried over.
For a time, all the Nascent Soul cultivators with a bit of reputation in the Celestial Pole rushed to Kunzhong City like a swarm of bees. Fortunately, the war was stable now, and Nascent Soul cultivators were only overseeing things. Otherwise, the Immortal Alliance's line of defense would have completely collapsed.
Mo Tiange knew it would be very troublesome to deal with the aftermath of killing Fairy Fengqing, but she still underestimated the extent of the trouble. Almost the entire Celestial Pole was running around for this matter.
Perhaps Fairy Fengqing also didn't expect that she, who was only an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator when she was alive, would cause such a big storm after her death.
Xuanqing School and Tiandao Sect had been confronting each other in Wanhe Pagoda for two days.
During these two days, aside from Lu Daquan, who was guarding the gate, Daoist Heifeng, the only remaining Nascent Soul cultivator of Tiandao Sect, also came to Kunzhong City. As for Xuanqing School, Miaoyi and Xuanyin were on their way.
The two sides were still confronting each other. Although the cultivators of the two groups had some good personal relations, this matter was related to the rise and fall of their sects, so they could only put their personal relations aside and put the interests of their sects first.
Six against four, Xuanqing School obviously had the upper hand.
This was also what Liu Dingyuan hated the most. Originally, Tiandao Sect and Xuanqing School's Nascent Soul cultivators were seven against five, and they even had a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, so they had the upper hand. However, in the past two hundred years, Tiandao Sect's luck wasn't good, so it became five against eight. If it weren't for him and Buyan, who could still hold on for several hundred years, Tiandao Sect would've most likely fallen!
Thinking of this, Liu Dingyuan hated them even more!
Although Fengqing's strength wasn't good, her existence at least made the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in Tiandao Sect look better.
The significance of her death wasn't because of the strength she represented, but because of the number she represented.
The death of Nascent Soul cultivators one by one seemed to indicate that Tiandao Sect's inevitable decline had arrived.
This cast a shadow in Liu Dingyuan's heart that was difficult to get rid of. He really couldn't tolerate Tiandao Sect falling into his hands.
This was the situation when Venerable Swordsman Yuanying arrived.
At the long table in the middle, Xuanqing School and Tiandao Sect were sitting on one side, facing each other. The Nascent Soul cultivators were sitting casually on the side. Among these people, he saw Lord Daoist Wu Si, Ding Luan, Feng Xiao, Hua Lingyun, Householder Heaven Herb …
Putting aside the others, they more or less had personal relationships with the cultivators of the two great sects, so they were slightly biased. Householder Heaven Herb looked calm as if he didn't want to get involved at all.
Venerable Swordsman Yuanying understood his thoughts. Danding School was almost cut off because the six great sects delayed the rescue. Although there wasn't any deep hatred between them, he would definitely be happy to watch a good show if the six great sects could fight each other.
Therefore, it was impossible to count on Householder Heaven Herb to resolve the hatred between the two great sects.
Therefore, he still had to take the field!
Venerable Swordsman Yuanying's face was expressionless, but he felt a bit helpless inside. He was the most impatient with worldly affairs, otherwise Gujian Sect wouldn't have appointed another deacon Grand Supreme Elder. Unfortunately, all these things fell on his head now.
"Fellow Daoists." He walked forward and said, "If there's anything, there's no harm in discussing it.
Your two great sects are the pillars of the Immortal Alliance and are related to the alliance's prosperity and decline. It's not good for you to be at daggers drawn. "
Although his tone was cold, his meaning was still conveyed very clearly.
Upon seeing him, the expressions on both sides eased up.
Among Nascent Soul cultivators, Venerable Swordsman Yuanying was a peculiar existence. He wasn't like Liu Dingyuan and Lord Daoist Zhenyang, who were astute and tactful; he also wasn't like Ding Luan and Feng Xiao, who had a lot of friends.
He didn't care about anything else and only cared about his sword, but no one dared to look down on him. He had almost no friends, but everyone respected him.
Because he didn't fight and because he didn't care, he was actually the most upright person.
According to rumors, Venerable Swordsman Yuanying had been self-disciplined all his life and had never done anything biased. He wouldn't be partial even to his own disciples.
No one had ever objected to what he said.
In short, Venerable Swordsman Yuanying's character was like a shining signboard in the Celestial Pole. Almost everyone believed he would stand on the most just side.
Liu Dingyuan's anger hadn't subsided yet, so he said stiffly, "Fellow Daoist Yuanying, it's good that you're here. I hope Xuanqing School can give us an explanation about this matter!"
"Hmph!" Before Venerable Swordsman Yuanying could speak, Lord Daoist Zhenyang already said angrily, "How ridiculous!
It's clearly me who wants an explanation from you; when did it become us giving you an explanation?! "
"Xu Zhenyang, do you want to be the one to complain?"
Lord Daoist Zhenyang retorted sarcastically, "I thought you were covered in dirt and wouldn't be able to wash yourself clean even if you were thrown into the Eastern Sea. Do you think you're a good person?"
"You —"
"You two!"
Venerable Swordsman Yuanying spoke. His voice was still cold, but he successfully stopped the two great Late Nascent Soul cultivators and the leaders of the two great sects from arguing.
He said, "If you keep arguing, you won't solve anything except for wasting time."
The two of them were silent for a while then said in unison, "What do you think we should do?"
Venerable Swordsman Yuanying looked up and swept his gaze over the two silent people. He said, "If you accept my mediation, each of you tell me what happened."
Lord Daoist Zhenyang and Liu Dingyuan glared at each other, then both agreed. "Okay."
Lord Daoist Zhenyang knew when to stop. He struck first to gain the upper hand, so he could speak in a reasonable manner.
As for Liu Dingyuan, although he was furious, he wasn't a fool.
Since Fengqing was dead and Tiandao Sect insisted on opposing Xuanqing School, it wouldn't benefit Tiandao Sect at all. It would be better for them to resolve this grudge under Venerable Swordsman Yuanying's mediation for the time being and train their troops for further development.
However, Tiandao Sect's face had to be preserved, so Xu Zhenyang shouldn't try to invert right and wrong!
Venerable Swordsman Yuanying's gaze shifted between the two of them and said, "Since Fengqing was killed, Fellow Daoist Liu, please speak first."
Liu Dingyuan nodded and said, "Fellow Daoists all know that Tiandao Sect has few talented people now. For the sake of the Immortal Alliance, Junior Martial Brother Buyan and I have been stationed here for a long time, leaving only Lu Daquan and Fengqing in the sect.
Not long ago, the Eastern Sea changed and beast cultivators invaded. Bixuan Court came to Tiandao Sect for help, so Fengqing went to Bixuan Court. "
He paused for a moment and continued to say, "As you all know, Xuanqing School's Qin Shoujing and Mo Qingwei accepted the task to take over Fengqing's position and guard Bixuan Court.
The strange thing is that after they took over the task, Fengqing never came back, and we also didn't receive any news until a few days ago, when Fengqing's natal lamp suddenly extinguished in the sect. "
Venerable Swordsman Yuanying nodded slowly. "Then what's Fellow Daoist Liu's opinion on this matter?"
Liu Dingyuan took a deep breath and said, "Before Xu Zhenyang came, I didn't have any opinion. I just wanted to send someone to the Eastern Sea to see what happened to Fengqing when I had some free time."
Venerable Swordsman Yuanying turned to Lord Daoist Zhenyang. "Fellow Daoist Zhenyang, what about you?"
Lord Daoist Zhenyang perfectly maintained his unhappy expression. He said now, "We didn't know about Fengqing's matter before.
Two days ago, Shoujing and Qingwei came back and said that because the beast cultivators attacked Bixuan Court, they lingered in the Eastern Sea but ran into Fengqing who left a long time ago.
I don't know why Fengqing didn't go back. After she ran into them, she became even more jealous, so she tried to sneak attack them, but her skills were inferior and she was killed instead. "
"Hmph!"
Right after Lord Daoist Zhenyang finished speaking, Liu Dingyuan snorted coldly. "Nonsense! How could Fengqing sneak attack them?!"
"Liu Dingyuan …"
"Fellow Daoists!"
Venerable Swordsman Yuanying shouted. Seeing that the two of them didn't say anything else, he said, "Since this matter fell on Fellow Daoists Shoujing and Qingwei, please explain it to us."
Qin Xi nodded at Mo Tiange then said loudly, "Senior Yuanying, let me explain!"
