Chapter 600 The Battle of Two Sects (1)(1/2)
On June 18th, the sun shines brightly.
In the north of the outer hidden world, 60,000 miles west of the former site of the Moon Palace, a forest shrouded in fog for many years was not affected by the scorching sun. This place called the Mist Forest by the monks in the outer hidden world is still filled with fog. This place is the place with the most spiritual beasts in the entire outer hidden world except Wuji. It is said that there is a royal beast at the center of this Mist Forest, so even a sect with thousands of years of beast heritage can only hunt on the outskirts of the Mist Forest.
There are eighteen sect forces of different sizes near the Mist Forest, among which the Beast Control Sect led by Wang Meng is the most important. The Beast Control Sect inherits a unique method of catching spirit beasts. Often, three or five elders can capture a Yuanying-level spirit beast. Moreover, the Beast Control Sect also set up a special spiritual beast barrier in the outer area of the Mist Forest, raising those spirit beasts that have entered the barriers in the trap. In this way, it will not lose the beast nature of the spirit beasts, but can also be used by itself when needed.
However, these all changed drastically in June this year. The seventeen hunting sects around the Mist Forest except the Beast Sect suddenly merged into one under the instructions of the Holy Soul Sect, and a new sect called the Beast King Sect was established. The Holy Soul Sect even sent two middle-level elders of the Nascent Soul Sect to take charge. Next, all barriers established by the Beast King Sect in the Mist Forest were occupied by the Beast King Sect. The Holy Soul Sect also announced that in the North of the Outer Hidden Realm, those who want to trade spirit beasts in the Beast King Sect can only go to the Beast King Sect.
The Beast-Driving Sect was not aware of this situation at first, until an elder went to check the barrier around the Mist Forest and found that there were all members of the Beast King Sect with uniform costumes.
The outer areas of the Mist Forest were clearly distinguished before. When the Beast King Sect crossed the boundary like this, Wang Meng immediately led the elders of the Beast King Sect to negotiate.
But the late-stage elder of the Holy Soul Sect went to the Beast King Sect to give Wang Meng no face at all, and he directly told two ways for Wang Meng to choose. The first is that the Beast Trunk Sect surrenders to the Holy Soul Sect and completes the unification of the northern part of the outer hidden world; the second is that the Beast Trunk Sect is disbanded on the spot, and the sects inside the sect will never step into the northern part of the outer hidden world.
If the elder of the Beast Control Sect was not persuaded, Wang Meng would have taken action long ago. After calming down, he understood that the Holy Soul Sect was deliberately making trouble, so he temporarily endured it for the sake of the sect. He said he wanted to discuss it with his disciples and took everyone back to the Beast Control Sect.
Wang Meng, who returned to the sect, gathered his disciples and told them that the Holy Soul Sect was about to attack the Beast-Driving Sect.
The disciples of the Beast Control Sect seemed a little panicked when they heard the news, but the elders were very calm. Because they knew that Wang Meng and Gongsun Ye's relationship, their Beast Control Sect would never join the Holy Soul Sect. As for disbanding on the spot, they would not even think about it.
Wang Meng actually knew that this day would come sooner or later. There was Wuliang Temple in the north of the outer hidden world. The forces of the Yuhuan Sect and the Holy Soul Sect had no time to care about the Beast-Driving Sect far away in the Forest of Misty. But on that rainy night fifteen years ago, Wuliang Temple was destroyed overnight. Although the Zhongzhou Buddhist General Hall sent someone to investigate, he hurried back after finding out the "evil appearance of the devil Buddha", and finally he had no intention of prosecution about the destruction of Wuliang Temple. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that there was something strange about it, but for the Holy Soul Sect, this was a great good thing. The Holy Soul Sect did not occupy the territory of Wuliang Temple, but sent nearby sect forces to guard it. It was called to protect the territory for the Zhongzhou Buddhist General Hall, but actually wanted to make people know that Wuliang Temple is gone and the Zhongzhou Buddhist General Hall no longer entered the north of the outer hidden world.
Qiu Wei then spent more than fifteen years to swallow the Yuhuan Sect. During this period, Mu Shan, the leader of the Yuhuan Sect, used her connections in other areas of the Outer Hidden World to mediate, but the forces of these characters were all shocked by Qiu Wei's strength. They all saw Qiu Wei's determination to unify the northern part of the Outer Hidden World. To put it bluntly, those people were just the ministers under Mu Shan's skirt. They felt that they had given Mu Shan enough face, and some of them even persuaded Mu Shan to rely on the Holy Soul Sect to know the times. Mu Shan broke up with them directly, but she also understood that this was the general trend. After struggling for fifteen years, her Yuhuan Sect still handed over all the secret techniques in the sect and became an affiliated sect of the Holy Soul Sect. She is now Qiu Wei's special furnace cauldron.
Since then, the Beast-Driving Sect outside the Mist Forest has become an exception in the north of the Hidden Realm. Of course, Qiu Wei has to wipe out the stain on the face of his holy soul gate. So after swallowing the Yuhuan Sect, he immediately summoned the elders in the sect and the sect leader of all subordinate forces. After discussion, they started a plan for the Beast-Driving Sect in May this year. Qiu Wei considered that the Beast-Driving Sect was in the north of the Outer Hidden Realm for many years, and relied on buying and selling spirit beasts to make friends with many forces in other regions. So he did not directly use thunder and sharp methods. He wanted to create a sect that could compete with the Beast-Driving Sect first.
Sect. After bringing the seventeen sects outside the Mist Forest together, he also sent his junior brother Qiu Ying to lead two confidant elders of the Holy Soul Sect. One is to prevent Wang Meng from raiding a secret agent, and the other is to prepare for the subsequent battle. He also released news that those who entered the northern part of the outer hidden world and did business with the Beast Control Sect, no matter what force they belong to, would not be allowed to enter the northern part of the outer hidden world in the future. Once discovered, they would be killed without mercy! From this, it can be seen that Qiu Wei had not prepared to incorporate the Beast Control Sect from the beginning. The two conditions he offered were just to make the Beast Control Sect mess up.
But what Qiu Wei did not expect was that Wang Meng dismissed some of his disciples after he returned. According to the news sent back in front, Wang Meng told his disciples that the Holy Soul Sect’s actions were to trap the Beast-Driving Sect and killed them. Wang Meng was unwilling to implicate his disciples. Even if he wanted to withdraw, those who stayed should be prepared to die in battle with the Beast-Driving Sect.
Seeing this, Qiu Wei summoned his disciples to discuss the next countermeasures. Rong Xu, the leader of Diyuan Sect, who had completely integrated into the Holy Soul Sect, made a suggestion. He said that an elder of Diyuan Sect, who was Xu Huijie was taken as a guest minister by Wang Meng of the Beast Sect. He could use this reason to force the Beast Sect to hand over the person. If Wang Meng handed over the person, they would kill Xu Huijie in front of the Beast Sect, and then threw Xu Huijie's body outside the Beast Sect. At that time, they would wait and see. If Wang Meng did not hand over the person, the Holy Soul Sect master would officially start a war. With the current strength of the Holy Soul Sect, it would be easy to destroy a Beast Sect sect.
Qiu Wei was very satisfied with Rong Xu's plan. After passing this plan to Song Rui, the leader of the Beast King Sect, he also sent Rong Xu to supervise the battle himself.
The flying boat carrying Rongxu over to the Beast King Sect arrived at Shen in the afternoon. As the person who supervised the battle personally appointed by Qiu Wei, even though Rongxu only had the late Jindan cultivation level, Song Rui still regarded him as a guest of honor.
Song Rui, who was a mid-stage cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, not only greeted him personally, but also enthusiastically led Rongxu to the living room of the sect leader's mansion.
Rongxu saw that although the Beast King Sect was newly built, there were no shortage of tables and chairs made of various spiritual plants in the sect plaques made of spiritual stones.
Song Rui on the main seat said: "I'll give you a taste of our specialty, the fog-gly tea from the Forest of Mist. What I chose for the early stage of the Nascent Soul, and after drinking it, it will be effective in unblocking the spiritual veins."
Rong Xu picked up the spiritual tea from the guest seat and took a sip. Sure enough, he felt that his spiritual veins were much more unblocked. He sighed: "Sect Master Song is so lucky. He commanded seventeen sects in one go."
When Song Rui heard this, a hint of displeasure flashed in his heart, but he still smiled and said, "What I am saying is that Song is respected by Master Qiu, and let me, a mere mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, become the sect leader of the Beast King Sect."
Song Rui's words clearly conveyed Rong Xu's luck, but secretly stated that he was promoted by the strength of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
Rong Xu naturally heard what Song Rui meant. He put down the teacup and said, "Zong Master Song, don't know the danger of hatred. Where are the three elders Liu Zhu and Zhao Ke now?"
Song Rui replied: "The three elders are leading the ten early-stage Nascent Soul elders of our Beast King Sect and their disciples to fight outside the Beast King Sect's protection formation. We received the order from Master Qiu to use Xu Huijie as bait to lure the Beast King Sect to take the bait. Who knew that Wang Meng was ungrateful. He said that he wanted Master Qiu to kneel outside the Beast King Sect's mountain gate to consider whether to hand over to someone."
Rong Xu said angrily: "It's outrageous! Isn't it just a small beast-controlling sect that dares to speak wildly like this!"
Song Rui also echoed: "Who said it was not? Since Wang Meng dismissed some of the Beast Control Sect's members, he opened the sect protection formation, hid inside and shouted that our Beast King Sect would be able to enter."
Rong Xu said coldly: "Then you guys do it!"
Song Rui replied: "We did take action! But the Beast Master Sect has a deep foundation, and their sect protection formation was exchanged from Shen Yue, the former sect leader of the Xingcheng Sect. Senior Qiu Xian said that the formation was called the Sun Yang Yue Yin Formation, and we would not be able to attack at all for a while. Come and send us, why don't we report to the sect leader and ask him to send some elders in the sect to break the formation and annihilate the enemy?"
"Useless things!" Rong Xu scolded, "You have to go to the sect leader to find help as soon as I came here. Aren't you embarrassed to find me?"
A trace of splendor flashed in Song Rui's eyes, and then he smiled and said with apologies: "I'm here to make a misunderstanding. I just want to capture the Beast Control Sect earlier, and the northern part of the outer hidden world will be unified for our Holy Soul Sect. At that time, there will be light on the faces of our Holy Soul Sect's affiliated sects."
Rong Xu took another tea sip: "What you said is not unreasonable. But now our advantage is obvious, and the sect leader sent me to supervise the battle. As long as we find a way to lure Wang Meng out, the beast master will definitely be able to defeat him without attacking the enemy after capturing the thief."
"You are relaxed. Although Wang Meng was a reckless person before, he has become cautious since he worshipped the Moon Palace and was not as a guarantee." Song Rui complained in his heart, but said, "What the envoy said is so true. If the sect leader sent him to supervise the battle, he must have a good idea."
Rong Xu put down the teacup and said in a mysterious way: "You are right. Let's go and accompany me to supervise the battle."
Upon hearing this, Song Rui took Rong Xu to a teleportation array in the Beast King Sect. The establishment of the Beast King Sect is not far from the Beast King Sect, but in order to facilitate the foundation-building and golden elixir cultivators to go there, they still spent a lot of money to build a teleportation array connecting the battlefield ahead.
After Song Rui and Rong Wei teleported over, Song Rui said to the two elders who were guarding the teleportation array in his formation: "This is Rong Wei envoy sent by the leader of Qiu to supervise the battle."
The two elders bowed to Song Rui and Rong Xu and bowed: "Sir, please see the sect leader, please see the envoy."
Rong Xu said before Song Rui: "Don't give me a gift."
The two elders were stunned after hearing this, and when they saw Song Rui nodded, they replied: "Thank you for your envoy, thank you for the sect leader."
Song Rui asked, "Is Elder Qiu Xian in front?"
One of the elders replied: "Well. Elder Qiu and the others are calling in front of them!"
Song Rui said to Rongwei Road: "Come on, let's go over and take a look."
Rong Xu nodded and said, "Okay."
Song Rui knew that Rong Xu was not a Nascent Soul cultivator, so he flew up with him in the air and headed towards the battlefield ahead. The louder the two of them went forward.
"Wang Meng, if you have the ability, come out to fight!"
"The Beast-Driving Sect is really a turtle with its head shrinking!"
"Wang Meng, you detained my Holy Soul Sect's sect without authorization, so why don't you hand it over to someone quickly!"
...
Rong Xu was also excited when he saw this scene that was even more passionate than the scorching sun in the sky from behind the Beast King Sect. He was about to fly to the front of the team and say a few words when he saw Qiu Xian, the Beast King Sect's side, sitting on the wide chair in the front of the team.
Rong Xu put away the arrogant and arrogant person in front of Song Rui, came to Qiu Xian and saluted: "My subordinate Rong Xu has met Elder Qiu."
The old man in green with a cold face nodded and turned around. He asked, "What are you doing here?"
Rong Xu replied: "Report to Elder Qiu, the sect leader saw that I had offered a clever plan, so he asked me to come as an envoy to supervise the battle."
The old man snorted coldly and said, "Your trick doesn't seem to be very effective. We have been attacking here for more than half a month. That guy Wang Meng is as if he is determined to waste it with us. Their Beast Control Sect uses the Sun Yang Moon Yin Formation, which is the main defense. As long as there is enough spiritual stone supply in this array, it can offset the magic attack we attacked. Your trick is to let us compete with the Beast Control Sect for the foundation. Otherwise, I will use the Mirror Flower Art to tell my senior brother and ask him to send two late-stage elders of the Nascent Soul to come over. With multiple actions, he should be able to break this array within one month."
Rong Xu flattered and said: "Elder Qiu, you were ordered to come here to integrate the sect forces outside the Mist Forest, and as the pioneer of the Holy Soul Sect, lead the Beast King Sect to attack the Beast Control Sect. This news has spread throughout the outer hidden world, and everyone in the outer hidden world is ready to see you show your power. If you let the Holy Soul Sect help two late-stage elders of the Nascent Soul Sect come over at this time, wouldn't you weaken your own power in this sure win game?"
Qiu Xuan was so comfortable that Rong Xu was flattered and stopped targeting him like that. Qiu Xuan said: "Then what do you mean is to let us die out the foundation of the Beast Control Sect before destroying them?"
Rong Xu did not hide in front of Qiu Xian, and he said, "Of course not. I have arranged a gift for you through the Master Qiu before. As long as this gift is delivered, I guarantee that Wang Meng will submit!"
"Oh? When will that generous gift come?" Qiu Ying said interested.
Rong Xu thought for a while and said, "I guess I should be here before the evening. When there is still time, Rong's subordinates went over and called! If the king could come out in a sudden momentum, we wouldn't have to spend so many tricks."
Qiu Ying agreed and said, "Okay, you go."
After Rong Xu gave the ceremony, he boldly flew up in the air. The Beast King Sect also stopped shouting and provoking at Qiu Xian's instructions.
Rong Xu used spiritual power to transmit voice to the mountain gate of the Beast Control Sect and shouted: "Wang Meng! You dare to let Xu Huijie come out and talk!"
In the Beast Control Sect, Wang Mengzheng and the elders and guests sat in the conference hall.
A crane-haired elder said, "Sect Master, the Qiu Jian has discovered the shortcomings of the Sun Yang Moon Yin Formation. He gathered the sects before Mao and You every day to provoke and scold. When it comes to Mao, he will join forces with the Nascent Soul cultivators to attack the magic array. If this continues, my Beast Control Sect will use up all the good things, and in the end, the spiritual power supply of our and spiritual beasts as the formation will not last for half a year. Sect Master, we have to think of other ways."
Wang Meng touched his bald head and said, "Xu Yin, is it really only half a year?"
The old man with crane nodded and said, "This is still the premise that the other party has no reinforcements."
Wang Meng took out the jade pendant that Gongsun Ye gave him, which contained the seeds of the Wooden Spirit World compressed by the Fengfa Realm Prison. Wang Meng said helplessly: "Although I only comprehend the seeds of the Wooden Spirit World that Xiaoye gave me, there is a faint force that leads me forward. This may really make my Nascent Soul open the Kongming. But Qiu Wei, a dog, really doesn't give me time!"
Xu Yin said: "Sect Master, you must be able to escape from the siege of those outside. Otherwise, we will help you rush out and wait until the future, your Nascent Soul will open Kongming and avenge us!"
As soon as Xu Yin finished speaking, the other elders and guests agreed.
Wang Meng refused decisively and said, "You are all my old friends! Even if I, Wang Meng, never enter the Kongming Realm forever, I, would not use your lives to build the path to Kongming for me!"
When Xu Yin and others heard Wang Meng's words, they all knew that he wanted to share life and death with them.
Xu Huijie, who was already a guest at the Beast Control Sect, took the initiative to stand up and said, "Sect Master, what they want is me, you should hand me over. You have given me a new life, and I can no longer let the Beast Control Sect be implicated."
There are elders in the Beast Control Sect and Xu Huijie who have the same idea. But Wang Meng smiled and said, "Do you really think you are so important? The Holy Soul Sect is just using you as an excuse. What they want is the unification of the northern part of the outer hidden world. Even without you, they will find other excuses to attack me Beast Control Sect. So you are here to wait for us to wait until the formation breaks through. At that time, it is true that you kill a few more bastards of the Beast King Sect!"
Xu Huijie burst into tears and said, "Sir, obey the order!"
At this moment, Rong Xu shouted at Wang Meng and Xu Huijie from outside.
Wang Meng slapped the table and said, "Let's go with me to see the man-like thing Rong Xu!"
After Wang Meng finished speaking, he walked out of the conference hall first, and all the elders and guests followed him.
Rong Xu thought Wang Meng was not going to come out. When he saw the other party taking the elders of the sect to the outside of the mountain gate, Rong Xu said in his heart: "It's time for me to show my face this time!"
Seeing Rongxu standing in the air with a refreshing spirit, Wang Meng was standing behind him, and the monks of the Beast King Sect standing were adding a lot of power to him. Wang Meng said directly: "Oh, isn't this Rongxu, the leader of Diyuan Sect? Are you bringing these lackeys to bite people today?"
After Wang Mengyi said that, everyone in the weak Beast Control Sect burst into laughter.
Rong Xu didn't expect that Wang Meng would hurt people as soon as he came. He shouted: "Wang Meng, you dare to be arrogant in front of me at the end of your strength! Hand over Xu Huijie quickly and take your sect's disciples to surrender. My Holy Soul Sect may let you go."
"Rong Xu, when you were following the Moon Palace, you didn't dance as well as you are now. You recognized your new master and followed his master's temperament? You like to bite people related to Moon Palace so much?" Wang Meng teased.
"Bah! All these are what Gongsun Ye owes me!" Rong Xu cursed angrily, "Gongsun Ye bullies the weak and protects Shi Wu, the eldest disciple of Yiyue Peak, which has caused my daughter Rong Dan to be awakened by nightmare! I joined the Holy Soul Sect to seek justice!"
Wang Meng was not sure about the incident that happened at the small gathering, but he knew how good Gongsun Ye was to Shi Wu. Just when he really thought Gongsun Ye was covering up Shi Wu and persecuting Rong Dan, Xu Huijie, as the person involved, stood up and said, "Rong Xu! The incident that day was obviously your daughter Rong Dan's fault that Shi Wu was not defeated by Xue Laoqi, but was mistaken for Xue Laoqi to think that she was playing tricks on him. Xue Laoqi then used the earth coffin technique to break half of Rong Dan's bones. If Gongsun Palace Master hadn't rushed to rescue him in time, Rong Dan would have died. How could you have the attitude to put these monsters on Gongsun Palace Master and Shi Wu!"
Seeing that Rong Xu was speechless by Xu Huijie for a moment, Wang Meng sneered: "Fortunately there is a personal certificate here, otherwise I would have cheated you."
Rong Xu took a deep breath, and pointed at Xu Huijie and said, "You are a traitor! How much benefit did the Moon Palace and the Beast Control Sect give you, letting you help them like this! Do you deserve the trust of our couple in you, and do you deserve Tan'er to call you Uncle Xu!"
Xu Huijie also said angrily: "What I said is not true! You and your wife thought I did not protect the young sect well back then, and they had a deep resentment towards me. I felt your murderous intent several times. Fortunately, my friends in Diyuan Sect helped me save me. After they proposed, you demoted me to monitor the Moon Palace. You just wanted me to wait for death there. But you didn't expect that after Master Wang knew about my experience, he not only did not kill me on an excuse, but also gave me a chance to live again! You said I'm sorry for Rong Dan's call me Uncle Xu. Even in front of Xue Laoqi, I spoke to her. But how could I, a mid-stage Jindan cultivator, compete with a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator like Xue Laoqi! But you, Xue Laoqi was seriously injured by Gongsun Palace, and was thrown thousands of miles away. Don't say you were going to kill someone to help your daughter revenge, you didn't dare to touch him!"
Everyone present heard Xu Huijie's words and looked at Rong Xu with contempt. Especially Song Rui, the leader of the Beast King Sect, was so comfortable in his heart at this moment.
