Chapter 314 Zong Discuss
In the main hall.
Ancient bronze lamps were arranged like a mountain, and the dim candlelight illuminated the entire hall.
The disciples who swept the palace added red-gold fire oil to these green lanterns to keep the life lanterns burning.
"How many more oil do we need to add to the life lamp?" The monk wearing a light golden robe put the long-handled oil spoon into the empty oil bucket at hand, and then asked the classmates beside him.
Another monk was still pumping oil steadily, and after some mental calculation he said: "There are still more than a hundred."
For monks of the sect, any qi training is considered as entry into the sect. However, due to qualification restrictions, only those who have passed the middle stage of Qi training can be considered as inner disciples, and they are the focus of the sect's training.
At this time, the sect will make life lamps for them to facilitate the observation of the disciples' condition. If the life lamp is missing, it means that the disciple's life is in danger.
"Oh, this kind of work requires only one spiritual stone in three months. It's really not very exciting."
"I heard that the sect discovered that the spirit stone mine is being mined in Nanmingling."
"That's fat."
After refilling the empty bucket with kerosene, the monk with short eyebrows couldn't help but sigh, and then mysteriously lowered his voice. Then he realized belatedly that there was no need to lower his voice.
Because the discovery of the Lingshi Mine is already known to everyone in the sect, countless monks are talking about it every day.
"Junior Brother Zhang, why don't we get such a good job?" the short-browed monk said with emotion.
Zhang Gui's eyes wavered slightly, and then said: "Brother, in the middle stage of Qi training, it depends on luck before you can go to Nanmingling. Most of the people who can go there are inner sect brothers in the later stage of Qi training. We are not strong enough, so we can help even if we go there. Not too busy."
Of course, whether to help or not is a matter of course. If you don't even meet the standard of cultivation, how can you be selected?
"Who said..."
Before the short-browed monk finished speaking, he was stunned on the spot.
The candle life lamp at the top, representing the foundation-building monks, actually started to waver. The flame grew smaller and smaller, and then went out instantly with a popping sound.
When Zhang Gui heard that his senior brother had stopped talking, he thought something had happened. Then he turned around and asked, "What's wrong, senior brother?"
Then he saw a horrific event that he would never forget.
As the bronze life lamps of the foundation-building monks were extinguished, the life lamps representing the inner disciples in the late stage of Qi training were also quickly extinguished.
Not one cup, not a row.
But a large piece.
No wind blew in, but the lights were out.
Ordinary wind cannot extinguish the bronze life lamp at all. There is only one thing that can extinguish the life lamp.
That is death.
When a person dies, the light goes out.
The originally bright lamp hall instantly dimmed, and shadows climbed up.
The remaining firelight reflected the frightened and stunned faces of the two monks.
A breath of cold air caught in his throat.
He could even hear his heart beating violently and the sound of blood surging around his body. Although his body was already very powerful, he could not suppress his trembling and could not even speak.
The life lamp of the foundation-building monk was extinguished, and the life lamps of more than a hundred inner sect late-stage Qi training brothers were also extinguished.
Zhang Gui rushed out of the hall like crazy.
All the mana surged into his chest, and he roared: "Something happened!"
"Boom!"
…
It's dusk.
The red golden crow was flying high on the wall behind, and the monk sitting in the main hall said nothing.
The fourteen elders sat in two rows, all of them silent.
There was silence.
There was only a terrifying sense of depression and deep solemnity.
The leader of the sect is quite handsome. Even though he looks to be in his thirties or forties, he still looks young. On the contrary, it has not aged due to the passage of time, adding a bit of calm and elegant temperament.
The leader of the Chiwu Sect, Jin Lianhuo glanced over, as if he wanted to see something on the faces of the many elders.
However, most of the elders were able to maintain a stable state of mind. Apart from wanting to take revenge and take back the spirit stone veins, they had no other opinions.
Jin Lianhuo said in a deep voice: "Elder Lieyang has been confirmed dead, and Yin Shen has not escaped."
"More than a hundred disciples in the late stage of Qi training died."
"I'm not sure who did it, but the biggest possibility is Daheishan. As a subordinate sect of Sunset Mountain, our Chiwu Sect is not willing to provoke ordinary evil cultivators and demonic cultivators."
"The Blood Evil Sect is too far away. Although the Corpse Demon Sect is close to Netherworld, they won't be so ruthless."
He did not say anything about the remaining demon sects, such as the Hehuan Sect. They were more like running a business and would not directly declare war. As for the remaining demon sects, they are either far away from each other or have an agreement and will not break up with Sunset Mountain. That would not be good for anyone.
Netherland, as a well-known loose force, is composed of ghosts and monsters, and Daheishan is just one of its affiliates.
Just like Chiwu Sect is an affiliated sect of Sunset Mountain, Daheishan also relies on the powerful ghosts in the depths of the Netherworld. How can it survive on this land without enough balanced top combat power.
If he was not strong enough, he would have been slaughtered by the monks long ago. Even the belt tendons were made into talismans, and the hard bones at the top corners were turned into magic weapons.
"Only the new ghost king in Daheishan." Jin Lianhuo said nothing more after he finished speaking.
They all knew that things would not be good this time.
Not only did Daheishan take the lead, but he also killed so many of them. Even if the senior officials could swallow it, the disciples of the sect could not. It would be difficult to lead the team if people's hearts were broken. The most important thing is that the middle-grade spiritual stone The mine was also lost.
There is a mid-grade spirit stone mine, which may allow the sect to have one or two more golden elixir ancestors. Not to mention high-end combat power, the presence of spirit stones will have a huge effect on the improvement of the mainstay and disciples' cultivation. This will be of great benefit to the sect. It is a rare opportunity for growth.
Even if it is danger, it is also an opportunity.
Just see if you can catch it.
Cultivation is inherently about fighting, just like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.
"He really went too far to bully others. He even killed Elder Lieyang and even more than a hundred disciples."
"These are the future of the sect."
"How dare he risk such disdain? Isn't he afraid of tearing up the agreement between the sects and causing a war among the monks?"
"They want to start a war."
"Killing evil people together, when the time comes, he will definitely die without a burial place."
"..."
With the sect leader's move, many elders became angry and scolded him one after another.
I can’t wait to start completely erasing Daheishan right now.
This kind of thing can indeed be called a deep hatred. Not only did the spirit stone mine be lost, but so many people died.
It takes decades to train more than a hundred late Qi practitioners. This suddenly caused a gap in the new generation of Chiwu Sect, and it will take at least a hundred years to recover.
Of course, there are also relatively rational elders among them. Their strength alone is not enough to compete with Daheishan, let alone destroy Daheishan and swallow up all the resources: "In this matter, we need to ask our ancestors to take action."
"The strength of the new king of Daheishan is unfathomable. Even the original ghost king died in his hands. Even if the ancestor takes action..."
Finally, someone woke them up.
In fact, they have always been awake, but they just don't want to admit it.
The True King of Daheishan is indeed very strong.
Being able to kill the Golden elixir Grandmaster at the same level, this kind of strength is also top-notch in the Xiaohuang Realm. Even if you really ask the Patriarch to take action, you may not be able to defeat the True King of Daheishan. When the time comes, it may make the situation even worse.
"How about we ask for help from Sunset Mountain?" As soon as the elder who spoke finished speaking, a pin drop could be heard in the hall. He thought he had said something wrong, so he quickly bowed his hands and wanted to say something to make up for it.
However, what he saw was not the glares from everyone, but the contemplation of most of them.
Of course, revenge must be avenged, and it depends on how to take revenge. Since there is power behind it, they will not object.
But the nature of seeking help from Sunset Mountain has changed.
As an affiliated sect, we need to provide convenience. In this matter, even if we win, the spirit stone mine may not be able to retain too much share.
Most of Nanming Ridge is within the Dahei Mountains, and the remaining half belongs to the Chiwu Sect. Even if the Lingshi mine is really discovered, mining should be discussed. They closed the mountain for mining and stopped the news. Then when something happened, they went to Shangzong and sought asylum.
Do you really think that Sunset Mountain is a sharp sword in their hands, cutting down whoever they say?
Maybe Sunset Mountain would be the first to hold them accountable because of this incident.
Even if Sunset Mountain blocks the True King of Daheishan for them because of the face and responsibility of the clan, it will definitely not make the matter a trivial matter.
Jin Lianhuo saw everyone's hesitation. Even if all the elders agreed to close the mountain for mining at that time, there was no way to share the blame at this time. All the blame would definitely fall on him, the sect leader.
When the sect was in trouble, it was time for him to step forward.
Then he said loudly: "I am responsible for this matter, and I will bear the punishment of the Sect."
bass!
The flying sword was unsheathed and placed across his neck. Jin Lianhuo stood up and looked at the many elders and said: "Take my head and go to the Sunset Mountain to ask for help. I believe that the Supreme Sect will not let the Chiwu Sect suffer."
"Sect Master, why is this happening!"
"Sect Master, not allowed."
"We haven't reached the point where we are at the end of our rope. Even if Daheishan really comes and fights with all the strength of the sect, how can we compromise and exchange the sect leader's head for the peace of the sect."
"There is nothing to fear from monsters, we can fight them to the death."
The elders of the Chiwu Sect stood up one after another and offered words of persuasion.
Jin Lianhuo clenched the flying sword in his hand and said resolutely: "I have made up my mind."
Just as he was about to cut off his own head with a horizontal sword, he heard a crashing sound, the golden light stopped, and the flying sword in his hand flew out, spinning and landing on the totem of the flapping golden crow behind him with a thud.
Everyone turned their gazes over.
Entering the hall was an old man with white beard and hair, wearing a red-gold robe with flying golden crows embroidered on his back.
Jin Lianhuo was surprised and couldn't help blurting out: "Ancestor."
The elders of the Chiwu Sect in the hall spoke in unison, bowed their hands and said, "Ancestor."
The person who came was none other than the Golden Pill Grandmaster of the Chiwu Sect.
The golden elixir monk with white beard and hair nodded slightly and said, "The treasures in the world are only for those who are virtuous."
"If you let the demons take it away and make it strong, it will be harmful to the world."
"The current situation is tense, and we need a name that is completely different from the past to open up the situation. Since the Ghost King of Dahei Mountain has sent us the name, let's kill the demons again."
"I have sent a letter to Sunset Mountain. Please rest assured."
