Chapter 295: Illusory Moon Immortal Gate!
Star Fragment Hall?
Liu Zimo raised an eyebrow slightly.
The name of this Immortal Gate sounded somewhat familiar.
He had previously seen it in some regional books in the library.
It was a seventh-level Immortal Gate located on the west side of the Qingyun Immortal Gate, with a heritage of about ten thousand years.
Compared to the Qingyun Immortal Gate, which had a heritage of hundreds of thousands of years and was at the apex level, the Star Fragment Hall was not only immature but also far weaker in strength.
Who gave them such audacity and confidence to come and insult the mountain gate of the Qingyun Immortal Gate?
Among the leaders of the Qingyun Immortal Gate, including Zhong Wanwan, Dai Yingyu, Xing Yuzhu, Xiao Bofang, and Tang Shanhe, there were also doubts in their hearts.
"People from the Star Fragment Hall?"
"Damn, did I mishear or am I hallucinating?"
Tang Shanhe was the first to speak out, his eyes full of killing intent as he shouted loudly:
"A small sect that hasn't even established itself for ten thousand years dares to provoke us, the Qingyun Immortal Gate? Have they gone crazy or become fearless?"
"Senior Brother Head Teacher, watch me go out and take their heads to drink wine!"
As he spoke, Tang Shanhe directly revealed his own lifebound magic treasures and was about to rush out of the mountain gate to teach those scoundrels from the Star Fragment Hall a lesson.
Swish!
Before he could move, Zhong Wanwan waved his hand to stop him.
"Tang Junior Brother, calm down!"
"You should know that when things go against the norm, there must be something strange. The Star Fragment Hall dares to come here so boldly today, they must be prepared."
"Before we figure out their trump cards and intentions, we shouldn't act directly, lest we fall into their trap!"
"Let's wait and see!"
As Zhong Wanwan's words fell, Xiao Bofang, who had been holding back his anger, spoke up:
"Wait, wait, wait. Others have already bullied us at our mountain gate, what are we waiting for?"
"If we keep waiting, others will only think that our Qingyun Immortal Gate is weak and easy to bully. More Immortal Gates will come to provoke us!"
"If Senior Brother Head Teacher is afraid, why not let me go out and deal with those scoundrels from the Star Fragment Hall?"
"Xiao Bofang, what do you mean by this?!"
"Xiao Second, how dare you defy Senior Brother Head Teacher's words? Are you trying to rebel?!"
As soon as Xiao Bofang finished speaking, Tang Shanhe, Xu Nansheng, and others jumped out to accuse him, their expressions cold and stern.
Xiao Bofang glanced lightly at them and raised his head:
"What's the matter? It's fine for Xu Nansheng to be a coward, but I, Xiao Bofang, can't stand up for the sect?"
"A bunch of cowards who only know how to hide in their shells. If you have the ability, come with me now and kill those scoundrels from the Star Fragment Hall!"
"If we keep enduring and waiting, we will be stepped on and humiliated. Since the establishment of the Qingyun Immortal Gate hundreds of thousands of years ago, have we ever been so humiliated?!"
"Fine, let's go then. Does daddy scare you?"
...
A group of people stood in front of the Great Hall, arguing with each other like fighting roosters, causing Zhong Wanwan a headache.
He had long known that Xiao Bofang was a thorn in his side, always unwilling to accept him as the Head Teacher, and tried every means to replace him.
But in the past, with the support of three sect ancestors openly backing him, Xiao Bofang, despite his dissatisfaction, did not dare to openly show it.
But now...
The three sect ancestors suddenly disappeared and died, and Xiao Bofang no longer had any restrictions on him. He felt that he was back in control and would occasionally come out to oppose him, the Head Teacher.
And the key issue was...
Xiao Bofang, for some unknown reason, had successfully broken through to the eighth realm of Nascent Soul several years ago, on par with his cultivation base as the Head Teacher.
Ten Thousand Year Zhong didn't have complete confidence in taking action, even if he wanted to teach a lesson.
Moreover, it was currently the troublesome season for the Qingyun Immortal Gate, and Ten Thousand Year Zhong didn't want to escalate things too much with Xiao Bofang at this time.
If there were internal conflicts, it would only benefit those who had their eyes on the Qingyun Immortal Gate!
"Ancestor Yuzhu, what do you think about this matter..."
Ten Thousand Year Zhong couldn't help but look at Xing Yuzhu, who had just successfully possessed someone and hadn't fully recovered her cultivation base.
Three ancestral masters of the sect had fallen, and now the highest seniority in the Qingyun Immortal Gate was only this Yuzhu Ancestor.
Swish!
Hearing Ten Thousand Year Zhong seeking advice from Ancestor Yuzhu, whether it was Xiao Bofang or Tang Shanhe and the others, they all fell silent and looked at Xing Yuzhu.
Even though Xing Yuzhu was currently only at the Gold Core stage, no one present dared to underestimate her.
After all, there was still a peak Nascent Soul hidden within her body. If she were to fully unleash her power, none of the people present would necessarily be her match.
"Young Bofang's words make sense."
Xing Yuzhu's gaze slowly swept over Xiao Bofang, and seeing Xiao Bofang bowing to her, Xing Yuzhu continued,
"Our Qingyun Immortal Gate has been established for millions of years. How can we allow just anyone to bully us?"
"In my opinion, no matter what schemes and tricks the other side has, someone needs to go out and test the waters, give the people from the Broken Star Palace a lesson."
"Otherwise, they will truly think that our Qingyun Immortal Gate is weak and easily bullied, and they will become even more reckless in their actions!"
"Young Bofang, since you want to go out and teach the people from the Broken Star Palace a lesson, then go and take a look. Just remember not to tarnish the reputation of our Qingyun Immortal Gate!"
Xiao Bofang was taken aback.
Really go out?
He had just casually expressed his feelings, wanting to save some face for Head Teacher Ten Thousand Year Zhong, but he had never thought of actually going out himself!
He wasn't stupid. How could he not think of the problems that Ten Thousand Year Zhong could think of?
Since the people from the Broken Star Palace dared to openly come and insult them, they must have been fully prepared.
If he rashly went out, wouldn't he be falling right into their trap?
Great!
I knew that Yuzhu Ancestor, who usually has little to do with me, wouldn't suddenly side with me for no reason. It turns out she wants to encourage me to go out and be cannon fodder!
Xiao Bofang instantly understood Xing Yuzhu's intentions and felt disgusted.
But now, he was somewhat stuck and was being cornered by Ancestor Yuzhu.
It seemed like he had no choice but to go!
"Young Junior Brother Bofang, since even Ancestor Yuzhu supports you like this, as the Head Teacher, I naturally won't go against the Ancestor's wishes."
"In that case, I will trouble Young Junior Brother Bofang to personally go out!"
Seeing Xiao Bofang's hesitation, Ten Thousand Year Zhong timely spoke, adding insult to injury and not giving Xiao Bofang any way out.
Xiao Bofang looked up at Ten Thousand Year Zhong, who was full of satisfaction, and gritted his teeth, saying,
"No problem, defending the sect's dignity is the responsibility of every Qingyun disciple!"
"However, just in case, I still need Junior Brother Shanhe and Junior Brother Nansheng to assist from the side!"
"They both said earlier that they wanted to go with me, so this can also fulfill their wishes!"
Even if he had to die, he would drag two scapegoats with him.
Moreover, Xiao Bofang didn't think that anything unexpected would happen if he went out.
He was currently a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Eighth Realm. In the entire Qingyun Immortal Domain, besides old immortals like Ancestor Yuzhu, who could harm him?
If he really encountered a life-threatening danger, he could easily throw Tang Shanhe and Xu Nansheng, these two idiots, out to take the hit!
"This..."
Ten Thousand Year Zhong couldn't help but turn his gaze to Tang Shanhe and Xu Nansheng.
Seeing this, the two of them simultaneously stepped forward.
"Head Teacher, rest assured, we are willing to sacrifice ourselves for the Sect!"
"Good!"
Zhong Ten Thousand Year waved his hand and solemnly cupped his hands towards Xiao Bofang and the other two, saying,
"In that case, I will trouble the three junior brothers!"
"I and Ancestor Yuzhu will be guarding from behind to support the three junior brothers in case of any accidents!"
The three of them simultaneously bowed and accepted the order, following Xiao Bofang's lead as they swiftly appeared outside the mountain gate.
Boom!
Just as they showed their heads, they didn't even have time to see the situation outside before they felt a flash of white light in front of them.
Immediately after, an endless pressure of Great Dao and Immortal Dao power pressed down on their heads!
"Ah~!"
Tang Shanhe and Xu Nansheng couldn't bear it first, both letting out a shocking scream and spitting out blood before losing consciousness, leaving no sound after a moment.
Although Xiao Bofang managed to withstand the first wave of Great Dao pressure and Immortal Dao attacks,
the second, third, and even fourth waves came one after another.
Even with his cultivation base strength at the Nascent Soul Eighth Realm, he could only persist for three breaths before following in the footsteps of Tang Shanhe and Xu Nansheng.
From beginning to end, he had no strength to resist, and he couldn't even escape back to the nearby mountain gate!
Before losing consciousness, Xiao Bofang couldn't help but curse in his heart,
"Damn it, I've fallen into the trap set by Zhong Ten Thousand Year and Xing Yuzhu!"
"They must have known how dangerous it is outside, so they deliberately provoked me to come out!"
"If I had known, why would I have become the scapegoat?!"
Inside the Qingyun Great Hall,
Seeing that Xiao Bofang and the others had just gone out and couldn't even hold on for three breaths before being defeated,
Zhong Ten Thousand Year and Xing Yuzhu frowned at the same time, feeling a chill in their hearts.
"Even Xiao Bofang at the Nascent Soul Eighth Realm couldn't hold on for three breaths!"
Someone exclaimed in a low voice, full of disbelief.
They never expected that Xiao Bofang and Tang Shanhe would be defeated so quickly and thoroughly.
You should know that although Xiao Bofang is a troublemaker with a hot temper, his cultivation base realm is indeed at the Nascent Soul Eighth Realm!
In the entire Qingyun Immortal Gate, besides the keepers and Ancestor Yuzhu, only Xiao Bofang and the Head Teacher are at the Nascent Soul Eighth Realm!
Now, seeing Xiao Bofang fall so quickly, and even die, how could the Qingyun disciples present not be alarmed and panicked?
"The strongest at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm has made a move!"
Xing Yuzhu narrowed her eyes slightly and said to Zhong Ten Thousand Year with great certainty,
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be a trap set by the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate!"
Illusory Moon Immortal Gate?
Zhong Ten Thousand Year's brow furrowed into a character "川" (chuan).
The spies they had exposed in the Qingyun Great Hall before were mostly from the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate.
They didn't expect that the revenge from the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate would come so soon!
"So, the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate has already joined forces with the Broken Star Palace?"
Zhong Ten Thousand Year muttered to himself,
"Yes, they must have already received the news of the deaths of the three sect ancestors, so they couldn't wait to attack us!"
"The Illusory Moon Immortal Gate has long had the ambition to annex our Qingyun Immortal Gate. How could they miss this opportunity?"
"Those damn traitors, the Sect has been generous to them over the years, why would they betray Qingyun and join their gate..."
"No, maybe the plot to harm the three sect ancestors was orchestrated by these rebels colluding with the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate!"
After understanding the cause and effect of the matter, the anger in Zhong Ten Thousand Year's heart grew even stronger.
No wonder the Immortal Gate has been unstable for the past two years, with disciples and sect elders falling from time to time.
Now it seems that all of this is a scheme by the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate against the Azure Cloud Immortal Gate!
Boom!
The attacks from outside continued.
Under the continuous attacks, the protective formation shook incessantly, causing the entire Azure Cloud Immortal Gate's mountain to tremble.
"Enough, stop talking about these useless things now!"
Xing Yuzhu interrupted Zhong Ten Thousand Year's soliloquy and said calmly,
"Although the current situation is critical, our Azure Cloud Immortal Gate is not weak.
Even if the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate and the Broken Star Palace have joined forces, so what?
In the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, no one can destroy our Azure Cloud heritage!"
After speaking, Xing Yuzhu directly ordered Dai Yingyu, Yue Qiguang, Meng Zhichen, and Zhu Houbin, the four peak masters:
"You four peak masters should return to your respective peaks and activate the inner formations to protect the main peak!"
Dai Yingyu and the others immediately bowed and accepted the order, quickly returning to their respective guarded peaks.
After the four of them left, Xing Yuzhu turned her head to Zhong Ten Thousand Year and said,
"Zhong kid, go to the Library and invite Jing Zongyang out!"
"Now that the Azure Cloud Immortal Gate is in such a disaster, how can he stay in the Library without moving?"
Zhong Ten Thousand Year also nodded and accepted the order. He and Yuzhu Ancestor were thinking the same thing.
As the only Nascent Soul peak cultivator in the Azure Cloud Immortal Gate, no one would ignore his existence.
But in the past, Zhong Ten Thousand Year couldn't invite this venerable figure at all.
However, now that the situation is critical and even Yuzhu Ancestor has spoken, it is unlikely that the Librarian will refuse anymore.
"Alright, no need to trouble yourself, I'm already here!"
Before Zhong Ten Thousand Year could even move, he heard the indifferent voice of the Librarian in his ears.
Swish!
A figure flashed, and the Librarian's figure appeared leisurely in the Great Hall.
"Yuzhu Ancestor, greetings!"
The Librarian cupped his hands in greeting to Xing Yuzhu.
Regardless of age or seniority, Xing Yuzhu was considered the Librarian's senior.
Even though Xing Yuzhu had successfully taken over someone else's body and obtained a new identity, no one dared to disrespect her.
"Hmm."
Xing Yuzhu nodded slightly and said directly,
"You must have seen the situation outside the mountain gate just now. Can you tell who is behind the attack?"
The Librarian replied softly, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Xingyue Laozu from the Illusory Moon Immortal Gate."
"Gong Xingyue?"
Xing Yuzhu frowned slightly.
"It's actually this old witch. Haven't seen her in a few thousand years, didn't expect she's still alive!"
"If I ask you to deal with her, do you have confidence in taking her down?"
Without hesitation, the Librarian shook his head.
"If it's just Xingyue Laozu alone, I naturally have confidence in dealing with her."
"But this time, she is accompanied by Huo Primordial Yang from the Broken Star Palace!"
