The Myriad Flowers Elder's Slander
Leading the charge, Liao Wufa wore a black robe, with no trace of any treasures on his body, but the aura he exuded was already terrifying.
Following behind Liao Wufa were several high-ranking members of the Yin Yang Demonic Sect, not only at the Void Returning Stage, but also among the most influential figures in the Yin Yang Demonic Sect.
Upon seeing Liao Wufa leading the way, Luo Ba's expression slightly hardened. No matter who he saw, Luo Ba's expression never changed. That was because of Luo Ba's strength. As the Sect Master of the Asura Sect, Luo Ba was known as one of the strongest Cultivator in the Great Qin Empire. He had the right to treat anyone with indifference. However, when he looked at Liao Wufa, Luo Ba's expression changed.
"Liao Wufa!?" Luo Ba only showed a slight change in expression, but the Chief Seat the Disciplinary Hall of Heavenly Dragon Temple and several leaders of other forces changed their expressions when they looked at Liao Wufa, the Sect Master of the Yin Yang Demonic Sect. Obviously, they all knew Liao Wufa.
"Big Brother!" Zhuge Xiang's heart stirred as he looked at Liao Wufa.
Zhuge Xiang had also heard about the internal strife within the Yin Yang Demonic Sect. He suspected that the conflict was related to his sworn Big Brother, Liao Wufa. However, Zhuge Xiang was surprised that Liao Wufa had actually taken the position of Sect Master of the Yin Yang Demonic Sect.
"Greetings, Senior Liao!" Luo Ba stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Liao Wufa. Although Luo Ba and Liao Wufa were evenly matched in cultivation, Liao Wufa was clearly of higher seniority than Luo Ba.
"Luo Ba, I was right back then. One day, you will surely become a dragon among men. Looking at you, you have already survived the Immortal-Demon Tribulation? You have truly surpassed others. It's impossible not to admit that you have grown old," Liao Wufa praised, looking at Luo Ba in front of him. Although it was a word of admiration, his expression was that of an elder speaking to a junior.
"Not at all, Senior Liao, you flatter me. Who doesn't know of your legendary bravery and valor back then? Compared to you, I was but a firefly compared to the sun and moon," Luo Ba said, shaking his head. Though his expression was humble, his words were true. Liao Wufa looked very young, but who could know his age? He was already over a thousand years old.
Over here, as Luo Ba and Liao Wufa conversed, those around them exchanged bewildered glances. Those who recognized Liao Wufa unperturbed, but those who didn't were secretly astonished by his identity. Just who was he? How could he command such respect from Sect Master Luo Ba?
Luo Ba, whose identity is unknown to everyone in the Great Qin Empire? Sect Master of the Asura Sect, one of the Nine Great Sects. Although the Asura Sect's power is almost at the bottom among the Nine Great Sects in the Great Qin Empire, Luo Ba's personal strength is hailed as one of the strongest Cultivator in the Great Qin Empire, easily ranking among the top three, and is comparable in strength to the current emperor Ying Dongri and True Man Qing Feng of Kunlun Mountain.
But this person, who appeared out of nowhere, not only managed to seize the position of Sect Master of the Yin Yang Demonic Sect in one fell swoop, but also received such respect from Luo Ba? He even spoke to Luo Ba as if lecturing a junior? Could he be some Old Monster who hasn't died yet?
"Greetings, Senior Liao. I never expected to witness your brilliance today..." The Chief Seat the Disciplinary Hall of Heavenly Dragon Temple stepped forward, bowed to Liao Wufa, and said.
"Hmph, bald monks from Heavenly Dragon Temple? If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, I would have wiped you all out today. Now get out of my way, lest I lose control and take action." Liao Wufa still calmly chat with Luo Ba, but when he looked at the high monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple, his face instantly turned cold, and he spoke without any politeness.
"Uh..." As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face. They had politely stepped forward to pay their respects, and not only were they ignored, but they were also shown no respect whatsoever. The senior monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple were slightly taken aback, and then felt a little angry.
However, compared to the anger of his fellow disciples, the Chief Seat of the Disciplinary Hall was secretly puzzled, wondering how his Heavenly Dragon Temple had inexplicably offended Liao Wufa.
However, knowing Liao Wufa's personality, and seeing his fierce expression, he apologized and stepped back without even asking why.
Seeing the angry and bewildered expressions of the several high monks from Heavenly Dragon Temple, Zhuge Xiang chuckled inwardly. Others might not know, but he knew very well that Liao Wufa had been sealed away by the Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda Great Wisdom Zen Temple back then. Even if the people of Heavenly Dragon Temple didn't know about this, Liao Wufa couldn't possibly have any good feelings towards Heavenly Dragon Temple.
The grand event at the Asura Sect, where Zhuge Xiang ascended from the Floating Mountain, was in full swing. However, at this moment, in the Palace of Myriad Flowers Elder, who had long since transformed into Ghost Cultivator, was sitting upright in his seat. Below the steps, a man was kneeling trembling with fear. He possessed the cultivation of the True Essence Realm, but the man's face was filled with terror.
Myriad Flowers Elder was already a disciple who lived in constant fear. Ever since his Myriad Flowers Elder's Physical Body was destroyed by Zhuge Xiang and he was transformed into Ghost Cultivator, his personality has become even more eccentric. His disciples are now walking on thin ice, as can be seen from this Floating Mountain.
The magnificent sight of Wanhua blooming in vibrant colors on this mountain is no longer visible. The flowers and plants have long since withered, and Myriad Flowers Elder, whether due to his personality or because he has transformed into Ghost Cultivator, forever exudes a chilling aura that instills fear in people.
"Master, this is Zhuge Xiang's Identity Jade Token. I have already stolen it." Trembling with fear, the male disciple held up a jade token with both hands. It was the jade token that represented Zhuge Xiang's identity. Asura Sect Disciples had their own Identity Jade Token. It was unknown how this male disciple had obtained it.
"Alright, hehehe, with this Identity Jade Token, let's see what you have to say now." With a wave of his hand, Zhuge Xiang's Identity Jade Token fell into the hands of Myriad Flowers Elder. Looking at the jade token in his hand, Myriad Flowers Elder let out a sinister laugh.
"Master, may I leave now?" Having completed his task—finding Zhuge Xiang's personal belongings as instructed by his Master —the male disciple asked somewhat timidly, eager to leave as soon as possible.
"What? Are you afraid of me?" Myriad Flowers Elder put away his Identity Jade Token, staring at the disciples below with a sinister gaze, and asked in a cold voice.
"No... no... why would this disciple be afraid..." The disciple trembled and cried out in terror, sweating profusely. It's no wonder that this disciple, who possessed the cultivation of the True Essence Realm, was so timid. It was simply because in recent years, Myriad Flowers Elder's personality had become eccentric and unpredictable, and many disciples had died at his hands.
"Leave? Master, I'll see you off." With a cold laugh, a dazzling Sword Light flashed by, and a jet-black sword appeared, piercing straight through the disciple's heart.
"Master... Master..." The disciple stared wide-eyed in astonishment at Myriad Flowers Elder, utterly bewildered as he couldn't believe his Master would turn against him.
"Don't blame me. If you don't die, how can I proceed with my plans?" Myriad Flowers Elder said with a sinister smile, looking at his disciple's terrified and incredulous expression. As he spoke, he opened his mouth, and a Phantom Image appeared on the disciple's body, which was then swallowed directly into his mouth.
The auspicious time has arrived.
A loud shout rang out in the Asura Sect. Then, Luo Ba nodded to Zhuge Xiang, and the Heaven and Earth fell silent. Even the people who were speaking stopped and their eyes were focused on Zhuge Xiang.
Even the Qi Refining Stage disciples at the Asura Headquarters, standing at the foot of the Floating Mountain, all raised their heads and looked up at the figure standing in the sky.
Zhuge Xiang opened his palm, Futuo Mountain appeared in his hand. Then, it slowly rose, and as it rose, Futuo Mountain size also increased, growing larger as it faced the wind...
The mountains are rugged and craggy, waterfalls cascade down, birds and beasts roam freely, and the rich spiritual energy almost transforms into mist. Occasionally, one can see dragon-shaped mists rolling around, revealing a scale or claw. The spiritual energy transforming into a dragon is truly captivating...
"Activate the grand formation!" Luo Ba announced softly as the Floating Mountain rose to the appropriate position.
The Floating Mountain taking off is not simply a matter of raising the mountains. The One Hundred and Eight Floating Mountains are also 108 treasures and 108 array eyes. These Floating Mountain form a Formation, with each link connected to the next. It is the Asura Sect's Mountain-Guarding Grand Formation. As Zhuge Xiang's Futuo Mountain floats up and is incorporated into the Formation, it naturally requires some operation.
"Wait..." However, at that moment, a shout rang out from the horizon, and then a black shadow shot out from the Floating Mountain and arrived in front of Zhuge Xiang. Its aura was thick and full of coldness.
"Myriad Flowers Elder, Ghost Cultivator at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage."
Seeing the figure fly out, the information displayed by the Data Eye made Zhuge Xiang's eyes narrow slightly. Myriad Flowers Elder? It was him? It seems that even with his physical body destroyed, he still wouldn't give up and wanted to seek revenge?
"Greetings, Sect Master, greetings, elders..." Myriad Flowers Elder, who had arrived halfway, clasped his hands in greeting to Luo Ba and the other elders. With his Nascent Soul Stage Realm cultivation, he was merely at the bottom of the elders in the Asura Sect.
"Myriad Flowers Elder, what is it that requires us to interrupt?" Luo Ba asked, having temporarily halted the operation of the Formation.
"I shouldn't be causing trouble at such a grand event, but lives are at stake. My disciple and I are like father and son, so I have no choice but to come out," Myriad Flowers Elder, who had transformed into Ghost Cultivator, covered himself with a black robe in broad daylight. Although his face was obscured, his voice was filled with grief.
As he spoke, Myriad Flowers Elder waved his hand, and a corpse appeared. It was his True Essence Realm disciple. Holding the corpse, Myriad Flowers Elder spoke with a resounding voice.
"A few days ago, my disciple said that Zhuge Xiang had an old grudge against him, and now that Zhuge Xiang has returned, he will definitely kill him. Originally, I didn't take it to heart, thinking that we were all Asura Sect Disciples and would not kill each other. However, today my disciple is really dead. Therefore, I beg the Sect Master to give my disciple justice!" (To be continued...)
