Chapter 474: The Curtain Falls (1)
On the fourth day of the October 10th, the wind is light and the clouds are quiet.
Three days have passed since Gao Linzong's auction conference. During these three days, rumors about this auction conference have blown across the entire southern part of the outer hidden world like a whirlwind.
Among these rumors, there are certainty, such as the golden dew and jade spirit flesh made by the fire-patterned spirit chef, and a mysterious monk and the southern Zhuguang Pavilion manager Liangzhen raised the price and bid for a fire-attributed golden dew and jade spirit flesh to 4,000 hexagonal diamond-shaped top-grade spirit stones. There are also some evidence that, for example, the young monks who owned these golden dew and jade spirit flesh were the murderer of the young sect of Tianmin Sect, and then nearly 100 Yuanying monks stopped him outside the Gaolin Sect. Liangzhen, the southern Zhuguang Pavilion manager, wanted to buy the golden dew and jade spirit flesh.
Cheng, he took the lead in attacking the young monk, but was stopped by the order of the lord from the headquarters of Zhuguang Pavilion in Zhongzhou. Wu Lian, Yushu Sect, and Gao Jin, then showed his favor to him and chose to leave. Later, the war broke out. Although the young monk had not reached the Nascent Soul, he used his strange skills to kill 34 Nascent Soul early-stage cultivators in the Wuji Sea with a thunder-type sword in the late-stage Nascent Soul, and destroyed the body of twenty-six mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, which scared Shen Zhen, a madman in the late-stage Nascent Soul, and finally disappeared on the Wuji Sea in the battle with Ziyingjiao...
During this period, there were also many half-true and half-false news. Some said that these things were planned by Gao Lin, the old leader of Gao Lin, and some said that the young monk was a genius disciple who came to visit from a sect in the inner hidden world. Some said that the young monk was Shi Wu, a sect of the Moon Palace in the north of the outer hidden world...
Among these news spread throughout the sky, some southern monks noticed that the leader of Tianmin Sect Lian Yi brought three guardian elders to see that his direction was heading towards Gaolin Sect.
In the giant plant of Gaolin Sect, Gao Xu, who was half-human and half-spirited, asked Gao Chang to dismiss all the foreign monks after urging Shiwu to chase the Ziying Dragon. As for those sea beast attendants, Gao Xu called them to stay in a place with rich spiritual energy to practice. In fact, he was afraid that the Ziying Dragon would join forces to attack Gaolin Sect after returning, so he took the lead and put them under the surveillance of Gaolin Sect.
Seeing that there were no outsiders in Gaolin's sect, Gao Xu brought 762 disciples and disciples to the sect master's room in the 2,900-meter area. After he opened the dark room with the secret method of the spirit-shaking technique, Gaolin's sect saw the speculations of Gaolin's sect masters in the dark room about Gaolin's sect and the words of each sect master at the peak. They were afraid that they would be swallowed by Gao Lin before they could tell their last words.
Everyone saw Gao Xu at the end writing, "I hope the next sect leader of Gaolin Sect will no longer have to live in the fear of being swallowed."
Although Gao Chang had some doubts before, the old sect leader Gao Lin was in charge, and the fortune of Gao Lin Sect has been booming. Gao Chang only thought that something was wrong with the sect leader practiced by Gao Lin Sect. Until now, he saw the handwriting of the previous sect leader in the dark room, Gao Chang regretted that he had not understood it earlier.
Gao Chang took the lead and said, "I failed to work together with the sect leader, but it was because my subordinates dereliction of duty. Please punish the sect leader!"
"Please sue the sect leader!" The disciples of Gaolin Sect knelt down after they knew the whole story.
Gao Xu hurriedly went to support Gao Chang and others and said, "Please get up! Your willingness to fight with me at the last moment is the greatest trust in me, Gao Xu!"
Gao Chang looked at Gao Xu's lost spirit body, and he knew that Gao Xu's situation was not good. He said, "Sect Master, I have already spread the news to Haiyuan Sect as you ordered. Only the 1,500-meter-long area has been destroyed. The only teleportation array between the major sect forces is good. You must hold on!"
Gao Xu smiled and said, "My body should not last long. My greatest wish is over. I have let the messenger of Haiyuan Sect come over and just want to hand Gao Lin Sect to you with legitimate reputation."
"Sect Master!" Gao Chang and others saw that Gao Xu had a desperate ambition, and they couldn't bear to say it.
Previously, Gao Lin sect members might have thought that Gao Xu wanted to put them in the Nascent Soul Plant because Gao Xu trapped them in the Nascent Soul Plant. But now it seems that Gao Xu just wanted to take on all this alone. Whether it was his conspiracy with Ziying Jiao or his devouring of Gao Lin's spirit body, Gao Xu was dealing with it himself. His companions may only be the dozen sect leaders of Gao Lin who were devoured by Gao Lin.
As Gao Xu said, he had fulfilled his last wish of the former sect leader, and now he had only one idea, which was to hand over Gao Lin Sect safely to Gao Chang's hands, and then let Gao Chang choose the right disciple to pass on it.
Gao Xu said that, and handed the storage bag containing the golden dew and jade spirit flesh of the Golden Pill stage to Gao Chang and said, "Gao Chang, Gao Lin Sect will depend on you in the future. The lack of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators will make Gao Lin Sect feel depressed for a while, but you have to remember that these are just temporary. Although Gao Fei is not mature enough, he is the support pillar of my Gao Lin Sect in the future. You must hone him well!"
Gao Chang heard Gao Xu's last words and burst into tears: "Sect Master, I will definitely protect Gao Linzong!"
"Okay! In this way, I can go to welcome those people with confidence." Gao Xu then gave the last order to the Gaolin Sect's members, "Before the messengers of Haiyuan Sect come, you will wait in an area of more than 1,800 feet."
After saying that, Gao Xu flew straight to the Qianzhang area of Gaolin Sect. He opened a wooden door ten feet square on the wooden wall to the south, then casually picked up a wooden chair, sat on it safely, and waited for people to come to the south.
Gao Chang was really worried about Gao Xu. After letting Gao Fei and others practice for a long time, he went down to look for Gao Xu. Until he saw Gao Xu sitting alone in the Qianzhang area, he landed gently beside Gao Xu.
Gao Xu smiled and said, "Are you going to send me your last journey?"
"Hey, why is the sect leader so pessimistic? Haiyuan Sect has a deep foundation and has the senior of the Kongming period spirit beast, Green Scale, Qinglong, who is in charge. Maybe they will bring you the solution to the Lingling Art." Gao Chang said with anticipation.
Gao Xu shook his head and said, "Even if there is the solution to the Lingzhi, I can't use it."
"Why?" Gao Chang said inexplicably.
Gao Xu replied: "Because of fellow Shiwu Daoist. The killing plan I designed with the reward from Tianmin Sect is too vicious to him. With his heart and nature, he will never let me go, or even Gaolin Sect. So after all, only my death can bring peace to Gaolin Sect."
Seeing Gao Xu mention Shi Wu, the thousand-foot giant who was even more cruel than the Purple Shadow Dragon made Gao Changguang tremble when he thought about it.
Gao Xu patted Gao Chang's shoulder and said, "Gao Chang, if my life has not yet been relieved by fellow Shiwu, then you must go to Haiyuan Sect for help. Gao Lin Sect is all affiliated sects of Haiyuan Sect, and they will be our most solid backing. If you have to make choices, you should first protect the outstanding juniors such as Gao Fei, they are the hope of our Gao Lin Sect."
"Abide by the order of the sect leader!" Gao Chang bowed.
Gao Xu stood up with his broken body, moved Zhang wooden chair from the side and placed it next to him. He said to Gao Chang: "Gao Chang, Gao Xu, as the leader of Gaolin Sect, has already given the last order in the master's room. Now I am just a disciple named Gao Xu of Gaolin Sect. Please sit with me for a while and wait for the envoy of Haiyuan Sect to come."
"The envoy of Haiyuan Sect will be in one day. You will be the leader of my Gaolin Sect." After Gao Chang finished speaking, he saw Gao Xu's begging eyes. Gao Chang sighed and sat on par with Gao Xu, "I hope that the envoy of Haiyuan Sect can come slowly."
Gao Xu smiled and suddenly coughed violently without lifting it up.
Gao Chang hurriedly injected his spiritual power into Gao Xu's body and said with concern: "What's wrong with you?"
Gao Xu recovered and said, "Not hindrance, it's the physical body that began to repel the spirit body. Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. By the way, how many spirit stones have been taken behind the two spiritual spring stones of fellow Shiwu? When he wakes up or his junior sister comes, give them the spirit stones. Our Gaolin Sect never owes the owner's spirit stones."
Gao Chang said with a nod, "The spiritual spring stone with the top-grade fire spirit root is of excellent quality. I took 107,000 medium-grade spirit stones. The spiritual spring stone with the middle-grade water spirit root is much worse, but I also bought 22,000 medium-grade spirit stones."
Gao Xu nodded, and just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed and looked forward and said, "It seems that other guests are here first."
In the distance, Lian Yi, dressed in white clothes like snow, appeared thousands of miles away from Gaolin Sect, followed by three guardian elders of the Tianmin Sect in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
Lian Yi looked around suspiciously: "Zi Shui's command signal is sent from here, why isn't she here? Mo Cang, please use the chart to check where the boundaries are here."
"Yes!" The guardian elder named Mo Cang behind Lian Yi looked up the Haitu and said, "You have reported to the sect leader that this is the territory of Gaolin Sect, a sect affiliated to Haiyuan Sect. His sect leader is Gao Xu, and he is a cultivator of the late Nascent Soul Water Spirit Root."
After hearing this, Lian Yi investigated with spiritual energy and found that there were many cultivators thousands of miles away. Lian Yi said: "Send our location to Zishui with a jade pendant. If she has not died in battle, she should come soon. Come with me and find out what happened."
"Yes!" the three guardian elders replied.
Lian Yi did not use teleportation method, but flew to the Gaolin Sect with the three guardian elders behind him. He saw a Nascent Soul Plant standing on the sea like a palace. Based on its specifications, he guessed that it was a late-stage spiritual plant. Lian Yi had to sigh that there was indeed everything on the Wuji Sea, but when he got closer, he strangely discovered that this Nascent Soul Plant did not have the oppression of the late-stage Nascent Soul Plant.
Although Gao Xu had previously used magic to repair the damaged parts of the Nascent Soul Spirit Plant, this is just a manifestation. This late-stage Nascent Soul Spirit Plant still needs at least hundreds of years of self-repair to return to its late-stage Nascent Soul strength.
Lian Yi said loudly with his late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation before the Nascent Soul Spirit Plant: "The leader of Tianmin Sect Lian Yi asked to see fellow Taoist Gao Xu of Gaolin Sect!"
Gao Xu, who was in the Qianzhang area, was shocked by Lian Yi's spiritual energy and could not help but vomit a mouthful of blood. He looked solemn, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hands and forced the voice to transmit: "I would like to ask fellow Lian Yi to come to Qianzhang area for a lecture."
Lian Yi guessed from the weak echo that Gao Xu must have been seriously injured like this Nascent Soul Plant. He teleported to the thousand-foot area of Gaolin Sect without any worries, and the three guardian elders behind him also teleported to the next.
Gao Changlian and the other four people on the side were almost provocative, and stood up in anger and said, "Are the sects in the western part of the outer hidden world so unruly?"
Lian Yiping said: "The strength of our western part of the outer hidden world is the rule. What's more, the half-body and half-spirited state of fellow Taoist Gao Xu is extremely unstable. If I use a little force, fellow Taoist Gao Xu will not die, right?"
When Lian Yi was talking, he surrounded Gao Xu with a late-stage spiritual power in the Nascent Soul stage. Then he did as he said, and Gao Xu looked ugly and seemed to be patient.
Gao Chang found something wrong, and immediately used the crystal vine jade tablet as a guide to use magic to control the nearby spiritual plants to attack Lian.
After Lian Yi's thoughts were verified, he took back the late-stage spiritual energy of Gao Xu. Then he pushed with one hand and pressed all the extended Nascent Soul Spirit Plants back. Lian Yi laughed and said, "Fellow Taoist, don't misunderstand, I came here to look for someone. I wonder if Elder Zishui of Tianmin Sect has ever appeared here?"
Gao Xu protected his body and spirit after Gao Chang entered his body with spiritual energy. He gently patted Gao Chang's arm and signaled that he was fine. How could Gao Xu not know that Lian Yi's behavior was to test the background of their Gaolin Sect. Although his body was broken and his spiritual power was not allowed to continue, he was not a person who was easily controlled. He did not immediately return to Lian Yi's words, but smiled and said to Lian Yi: "Sect Master Lian is indeed extremely powerful, and I must be the top in the late stage of the Nascent Soul. How can I, a small sect leader of my sect affiliated to Haiyuan Sect, call him a fellow Taoist? Why would I call you senior? Then the envoy of the Haiyuan Sect come over and I would like to introduce the senior to them."
A trace of murderous intent flashed across Lian Yi's face, but the spiritual energy on his body was not moved at all: "Zengzhu Gao was joking. Although you were seriously injured, you were all late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. It is normal for me to call each other as fellow Taoists."
Gao Xu wanted to suppress Lian Yi's momentum with Haiyuan Sect, and he slowly said: "I did send someone to find your elder Zishui of Tianmin Sect, but he just led her to surround and kill fellow Shiwu. I did not meet her directly."
"Fellow the Stone Martial Arts fellow Taoist?" Lian Yi only felt that the name sounded familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
Seeing this, Gao Xu patted his forehead and said, "Damn it, I sold fellow Shiwu once again without knowing it. I hope he won't hold a grudge against these."
Lian Yi frowned and said, "Sect Master Gao, don't be fooled by the mysterious. Elder Zishui of Tianmin Sect is here to kill a Jindan stage monk who can disguise and practice both thunder and fire. That monk is the murderer who killed my son Lian Rong!"
"A Jindan stage monk?" Gao Xu suddenly laughed.
Lian Yi said inexplicably: "Why are you laughing at?"
Gao Xu couldn't help but smile and said, "It's nothing. I just want to tell Master Lian. The one who killed the son was indeed fellow Taoist Shi, but he just built the foundation. As for who is fellow Taoist Shi, Sect Master Lian should have seen him. He is Shi Wu, the eldest disciple of Yiyue Peak of the Moon Palace,!"
"What did you say!" Lian Yi's mind flew around. Except for not believing that Shi Wu was just building the foundation, all the other relevance points met.
Gao Xu slowly leaned back on the wooden chair, and he said to himself: "Fellow Daoist Shi, the Moon Palace has hidden in the world and they have no way to deal with it. Your junior sister went to Haiyuan Sect again. With the character of Senior Qingyangzi, her disciples will definitely take her in for the sake of Senior Gongsun Ye of the Moon Palace. Then you should win your reputation in the Outer Hidden Realm."
Lian Yi asked afterwards: "Where is Shi Wu now! Where is Zishui?"
Gao Xu replied: "Fellow Daoist Shi has already chased the Ziying Jiao and headed east. The Zishui Elder you mentioned should be the purple-clothed female cultivator who teleported behind them."
Lian Yi was a little surprised and said, "Shi Wu is chasing the Ziying Dragon?"
"Yes! You don't know yet? I spread the news that he had the golden dew and jade spirit flesh of the Golden Pill stage, and attracted nearly a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators to surround him!" Gao Xu said truthfully.
"Are you enemies?" Lian Yi stared at Gao Xu and said.
Gao Xu sighed: "I had the opportunity to become friends."
Lian Yi sneered, "That's a pity. I can only believe some things if I watch them myself."
Just as Lian Yi was about to capture Gao Xu in order to search his soul, he suddenly felt a wave of spiritual power flashing by. He thought it was Gao Xu who was using Gao Lin Sect's backup move.
I didn't expect that the spiritual power fluctuation was not targeted at Lian.
I saw the shining bald Chen Zhen appear beside Gao Xu. He grabbed Gao Xu's head and said, "Sect Master Gao almost became friends with Shi Wu, then the 500 pieces of water-attributed gold dew and jade spirit flesh that Shi Wu mentioned and the 300-point wood-attributed gold dew and jade spirit flesh of the Golden Pill stage should be really sold to you Gao Lin Sect!"
Gao Xu obviously didn't expect Chen Zhen to return. He admired him: "Fellow Daoist Chen's courage is really admirable!"
"Thank you for the praise of fellow Taoist Gao! Although Chen Zhen is called a madman, I have always been very smart. Your Gaolin Sect suffered a severe injury, and Shi Wu fought with Ziying Jiao so hard that he didn't know where he went. I observed outside Gaolin Sect for three days, and you dismissed all the foreign monks and gathered the sea beast attendants together, that is, you have to explain the funeral. I should have taken action long ago, but I didn't expect that such a sect leader of Tianmin Sect would come. But this is fine, your attention will be all on them. Otherwise, I wouldn't have captured you in my hands so easily. It seems that the Golden Dew and Jade Spiritual Flesh obtained by your Gaolin Sect is destined to be mine!" Chen Zhen laughed.
Although Gao Xu was restrained, he was not afraid of saying, "Zengzhu Lian, it seems that you have been used as a gun."
Lian Yi knew that Gao Xu's words were not good intentions, but what he said was true.
Chen Zhen faced Lian Yi's unkind gaze and said disdainfully: "Fellow Daoist Lian, the cultivation world depends on opportunities. You should go east to see if there is a murderer who killed the son. Don't think about the golden dew and jade spirit flesh here."
After saying that, Chen Zhen used force and threatened Gao Xu, "Where is the 800 pieces of the Golden Dew and Jade Spiritual Metal?"
Gao Xu replied to Shen Zhen without fear and said, "If Fellow Daoist Chen used more force, maybe you will know after you squeeze out my half-human and half-spirited body."
Chen Zhen saw that Gao Xu was actually joking, and he said in a deep voice: "Gao Xu, I don't know why you are in this state, but if you don't say anything, I really dare to crush you. Don't forget, I am a madman, a madman Chen Zhen!"
Lian Yi watched them stand up quietly, without making any sound or movement.
Gao Xu laughed and said, "Chen Zhen, the more you say this, the more you will make me feel that you are afraid of something. It's because of my brain
You have already guessed that I would pass on the position of the leader of Gaolin Sect and heard that the envoy of Haiyuan Sect is coming to witness. You are afraid that you will have nothing to do when they come, so you want to get the golden dew and jade spirit flesh as soon as possible. Whether it is to return to the Fairy Spirit Valley or stay away from the southern part of the outer hidden world, it is a good choice."
Seeing that Gao Xu saw his thoughts were seen through, Chen Zhen said without hiding, "Then why don't you take them out quickly? If I can't get them, you don't think about it. I am a casual cultivator. After killing your Gaolin Sect, I can take my grandson to a place to retreat for a thousand years. Don't talk about your Gaolin Sect anymore, even the Haiyuan Sect may be unlucky to meet some powerful cultivators and be destroyed.
"Oh, as you said, I don't need to hand over it. I'm just a broken half-person and half-spirited body. You might disperse in a short while. The leader of Gaolin Sect, you must do something for my disciples. Come, Chen Zhen, I heard that you and Ziying Jiao joined forces to kill Shi Wu, and were scared by Shi Wu and ran away. You can only show your ability to do it in front of me, a seriously injured person." Gao Xu deliberately provoked.
Lian Yi saw something wrong with Gao Xu, but he also wanted to see if Chen Zhen, who was known as the madman, dared to kill the sect leader of the Haiyuan Sect.
"Damn, I don't like others to force me the most! I don't believe that Haiyuan Sect will go to Xianling Valley to cause trouble for you, a half-human and half-ghost thing!" Chen Zhen exerted his palms with force, and he wanted to vent all the aggrievances in front of him on Gao Xu.
If Gao common situation is wrong, he will use the crystal vine jade plaque in his hand to rescue Gao Xu.
But Chen Zhen's strength was much higher than Gao Chang. He pushed and grabbed Gao Chang with his right hand, and the crystal vine jade tablet fell into Chen Zhen's hand.
"Huh? This is?" Chen Zhen grabbed the vine jade tablet and saw every part of the Nascent Soul Plant above 1,800 feet. Chen Zhen laughed wildly, "It turned out to be this order card of that old guy Gao Lin! Although it is only part of Gao Lin Sect, it is completely enough! Hahaha, I am not only the Master of the Immortal Valley, but also the Master of Gao Lin Sect."
Chen Zhen no longer cared about Gao Xu and said, "Okay, with this token in hand, all the treasures of your Gaolin Sect will be my Chen Zhen. As expected, wealth and honor are in danger. I have fought for you this time! Gao Xu, go to death!"
Chen Zhen pressed his left hand hard, and he would destroy Gao Xu's body and spirit in his hand.
"Water method - cross-cutting."
Chen Zhen heard the sound from far to near, and was warning in his heart that he was about to teleport away with the crystal vine jade tablet, but found that his arms had left his body when he teleported. Before he could even feel pain, he was in horror and said, "How could this happen! Who is it!"
"Water method - heavy body!"
Chapter completed!
