"Great Vehicle Buddha Ancestor, how could it be like this..."
Guangzhi Bodhisattva couldn't help shouting softly, Glazed Buddha Ancestor glanced at him, Guangzhi Bodhisattva quickly pursed his lips, Glazed Buddha Ancestor squeezed out a smile and said, "Since it is Great Vehicle Buddha Ancestor's invitation... then I will be at Thunderclap Temple, waiting for Sect Leader to arrive..."
After that, he turned around and walked away. It could be seen that he was very puzzled and even a little dissatisfied with the letter Lu Mo.
In fact, Zheng Fa was also a little puzzled, not very happy, and even very wary.
After Glazed Buddha Ancestor left, Nine Mountains Sect's senior executives sat in the Heavenly Palace Hall, looking at the golden greeting card and looking at each other.
"What does this Lu Mo... mean?" Uncle-Master Pang frowned and said, "Is it okay if the apprentice dies?"
"I don't think Great Luo Dharma Assembly can go."
Old Yuan looked at Zheng Fa with very worried eyes.
The others also nodded.
Even Zheng Fa felt a little hesitant.
To be honest, Glazed Buddha Ancestor's reaction made him feel more at ease. Whether he wanted to take revenge and regain ground for Thunderclap Temple, whether he wanted to use Great Luo Dharma Assembly's power to suppress Nine Mountains Sect, or even wanted to stop him from going to Great Luo Dharma Assembly, Zheng Fa could find reasons.
To put it bluntly, these people Thunderclap Temple are enemies rather than friends, and they have always been domineering. He is really used to it.
But Lu Mo was so polite, he was really a little... scared.
I think the same is true for Senior Sister Zhang and others.
From the perspective of Lu Mo, if he can unite all Golden Immortal, then there is really no need to be so polite to Zheng Fa.
The situation is now very clear. As far as Zheng Fa knows, there are only three Xuanwei Grand Unity Golden Immortal's combat power, Nine Nether Emperor cannot produce Underworld, Thunderclap Buddha Ancestor and Dao Venerable have not appeared for a long time. The ones who can decide the fate of Xuanwei are actually these twenty or thirty Golden Immortal.
If Lu Mo really becomes popular, Nine Nether Emperor is not sure whether Nine Nether Emperor can keep itself, and Zheng Fa is not sure.
Nowadays, Lu Mo can even let go of his hatred as a disciple, which is really... puzzling.
"If you can go, you should go." Zheng Fa was silent for a moment and then said, "Unless Non-Self and our family move to Underworld, otherwise..."
The expressions of Senior Sister Zhang and others are also a bit ugly. Everyone knows that Underworld is the last resort.
They tried it, and Underworld was used as a retreat for the Nine Mountains Sect. It was safe, but there were two big problems:
First, Underworld Spiritual Qi is special and not suitable for ordinary people to live in. It is also difficult for monks under Dao Fruit to practice in it.
Unless everyone practices Nine Nether Emperor, it will be difficult to make progress.
Second, Nine Mountains Realm can't get in - Underworld seems to be repelling Grotto-Heaven World.
It is easy to move into Underworld, but it is difficult to get out again.
This can almost only be used as a last resort, or in other words, to admit defeat directly.
"The income from the family is not optimistic either." Senior Sister Zhang continued, "Although we conquered Vast Sun Mountain and got many new Spirit Vein, the trade of Jade Pool and Supreme Dao has almost stopped."
This is also expected.
Needless to say, Jade Pool is already in the shape of Thunderclap Temple.
Supreme Dao is probably because of Nine Nether Emperor--the establishment of Reincarnation can be said to be on the opposite side of the world's Dao Fruit.
Supreme Dao Golden Immortal, who is now in charge of the overall situation, has no connection with the Nine Mountains Sect, and maybe he even hates Nine Nether Emperor and Nine Mountains Sect deeply.
Therefore, most of the Sea Region trade route established previously has been destroyed.
"How about the resource reserves in the door?"
"We have already made plans in this regard." Senior Sister Zhang replied, "There is a transformation method for spiritual materials, so don't worry too much, but the gap in elixirs cannot be made up."
Zheng Fa nodded silently.
Among the three trades, Nine Mountains Sect provides Law Artifact and logistics capabilities, Jade Pool provides herbal medicines, and Supreme Dao provides finished elixirs, which are relatively complementary.
Now that trade is cut off, the Cultivation Resources of the Nine Mountains Sect is naturally not as abundant as before.
Senior Sister Zhang also sounded a little helpless, "Now that we have some experience in cultivating spiritual grass, we can make elixirs..."
Mu Qingyan stood up and whispered, "It's the disciple who is incompetent."
Zheng Fa walked a few steps, pressed Mu Qingyan's head, and pushed her back into the chair. "What is incompetent? You have only been practicing elixir for a few years and you want to surpass Supreme Dao? How about you sit in my position now?"
Mu Qingyan's face turned red.
Heavenly Palace Hall burst into laughter, the atmosphere became more relaxed, and discussion began.
"Alchemist Guild needs to pay more attention to the matter of making alchemy."
Azure Wood Sect before Sect Leader Sect Master Song should be handed over.
After Zhao Jingfan Nascent Soul, he immediately handed over the position of Sect Leader to Zhao Jingfan, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the Alchemist Guild.
He is a smart person, and he knows that with the relationship between Zhao Jingfan and Zheng Fa, Azure Wood Sect's development will not be too bad, and he will even be more honorable than before in front of Zheng Fa.
"I still have to go." Zheng Fa thought for a long time and finally said, "Even if we can't get any benefits, we still have to create some trouble for Lu Mo."
There was silence among the people in the Heavenly Palace Hall.
They all know what Zheng Fa means - now Nine Mountains Sect is almost alone and its development is very limited. If Golden Immortal really waits for those Golden Immortal to become a rope, Nine Mountains Sect really has no power to resist.
Zheng Fa There is another unspoken worry.
Lu Mo, knows Primordial Purple Qi so well, even better than the owner Zheng Fa.
Even though he doesn't seem to know where Primordial Purple Qi is now, it doesn't mean that Modern World is foolproof.
Zheng Fa thought about it and said to everyone:
"Before I go, I have to go to Underworld."
Zheng Fa Actually, Underworld hasn't been here for a long time.
The current Underworld is different from the one in his memory.
At the end of the gray field, the black shadows of several new mountains appeared.
Wrongful Death City also seems to have vocals.
The long queue started in front of Three Lives Stone, passed by River of Forgetfulness, Weak Water, and ended at Reincarnation Disc.
The whole Underworld looks much more lively than before.
Zheng Fa walked past Wrongful Death City and saw a few souls that were familiar but not quite recognizable.
Upon closer inspection, it seemed that they were the disciples of the Tianhe Sect who died back then. However, the last time I saw them, these people had such resentful and ferocious looks on their faces that I couldn't recognize them for a while.
At this time, this group of people were shouting and shouting, driving away the ignorant souls who had just joined Underworld, and their faces were still full of resentment - just like the kind of people who work hard to deal with stupid customers.
After leaving Wrongful Death City, we walked up to Yin Mountain. The main hall on the top of the mountain was originally the Sect Leader main hall of the Tianhe Sect. Nine Nether Emperor didn't seem to want to change it, so it only changed a plaque to read Hall of Yama.
The palace is deep, and Nine Nether Emperor is sitting in the palace, without raising his head, sketching on Book of Life and Death, looking very busy.
"Emperor, Zheng Sect Leader is here."
Yan Changge, the former Sect Leader and Yan Wushuang father of the Tianhe Sect, reminded.
"I got it." Nine Nether Emperor put down Book of Life and Death, raised his head, and looked at Zheng Fa with a smile, "Are you finally willing to come see me?"
Zheng Fa had a wry smile on his face, and Nine Nether Emperor seemed to know what he was doing - Zheng Fa never came after the Vast Sun Mountain battle, Underworld was actually a little hesitant.
The most difficult thing for him to grasp is the relationship between the Nine Mountains Sect and Underworld.
I am afraid that the outside world has long regarded Nine Mountains Sect as the hidden legacy left by Nine Nether Emperor or even Venerable Tianhe. On the one hand, they are of course very afraid of the Nine Mountains Sect. On the other hand, they will inevitably feel that Nine Mountains Sect is actually a subordinate of Nine Nether Emperor.
But Zheng Fa and Nine Nether Emperor both understand in their hearts that there is no affiliation between them. They help each other just because they are fighting against Lu Mo. There is friendship, but who listens to whom, there is absolutely no such thing.
The problem now is that when Lu Mo integrates Thunderclap Temple, Jade Pool, and even prepares to unite Xuanwei and most of Golden Immortal, the relationship between the Nine Mountains Sect and Underworld needs to be deeper, or at least coordinate with each other.
To put it simply, Thunderclap Temple, Nine Mountains Sect, Supreme Dao, and now because of the existence of three Grand Unity Golden Immortal, it even has the meaning of the Three Kingdoms.
Thunderclap Temple is the strongest and most powerful.
Supreme Dao, relying on Dao Venerable, has a profound foundation, but his position is unpredictable.
Nine Mountains Sect is the weakest - especially, their relationship with Nine Nether Emperor is not that close.
In order to cope with the future situation, this inseparable situation must change. It is best for the two families to advance and retreat together, or even merge into one.
But...
Brothers must settle accounts clearly, Nine Mountains Sect and Underworld must have priorities.
It stands to reason that Nine Nether Emperor is strong and Nine Mountains Sect takes care of the other party. It is best for Nine Nether Emperor to take the lead.
But neither Zheng Fa nor Nine Mountains Sect are willing to make this choice and hope to maintain their autonomy.
To be honest, he also thought it was a bit whimsical - this was equivalent to asking Nine Nether Emperor to be a red flower double stick. How could the other party agree?
Therefore, he delayed coming to Underworld.
Nine Nether Emperor stared at him for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said, "I see that Dragon Lord Shuyu is living quite comfortably in the Nine Mountains Sect."
Zheng Fa was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood Nine Nether Emperor's idea - the relationship between Underworld and Nine Mountains Sect can be based on the pattern of the Nine Mountains Sect and Dragon Lord Shuyu.
He felt relieved and even felt grateful, because the relationship between the Nine Mountains Sect and Dragon Lord Shuyu was actually very equal.
Nine Nether Emperor is willing to do this, it can be said that he respects Zheng Fa very much.
But... that's not enough.
"Dare I ask the emperor..." Zheng Fa held it in for a long time, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, "Nine Mountains Sect or Underworld, which one is Dragon Lord Shuyu?"
Nine Nether Emperor was stunned.
Even Yan Changge on the side was stunned.
There was a deathly silence in Hall of Yama, and even the noise in Wrongful Death City echoed in the hall, very clearly.
The smile on Nine Nether Emperor's face slowly faded, and the black shadow on the wall behind him shook, as if some High Antiquity evil spirit had awakened and roared at Zheng Fa.
"I protect you Nine Mountains Sect." Nine Nether Emperor said quietly, "Now, do you want me to serve as the master of the Nine Mountains Sect? How about I give Underworld to you and let you be the master of Underworld?"
"..."
"You are quite courageous."
Yan Changge was agitated, seemingly frightened by the murderous aura in the palace. He quickly winked at Zheng Fa and said:
"Emperor, calm down!"
The relationship between the Nine Mountains Sect and Dragon Lord Shuyu was very equal in the early days. Later, when Nine Mountains Sect developed, both parties had their own needs, so they renewed their covenant.
Now Dragon Lord Shuyu has to obey Nine Mountains Sect's orders in name, but more importantly, Sea Region's decision to become a god must be approved by the Nine Mountains Sect.
Yan Changge really thinks Zheng Fa is crazy.
Nine Nether Emperor but Grand Unity Golden Immortal!
Do you want him to be like Dragon Lord Shuyu?
Even as the emperor said, does Nine Mountains Sect still want to control Underworld?
But his son is still Nine Mountains... There is no way, Yan Changge has no choice but to rack his brains and admonish Nine Nether Emperor: "Emperor, didn't you say that no matter what, you can't let Lu Mo win Nine Mountains Sect over?"
Zheng Fa was startled, and then he realized why Nine Nether Emperor had given him very loose conditions.
Nine Nether Emperor pursed his lips, as if he was about to sneer.
"Emperor, think about it, Lu Mo's apprentice can bear the shame even if he dies, but you can't be compared to him!"
Yan Changge shouted, which seemed to have a miraculous effect on Nine Nether Emperor. The black shadow behind Nine Nether Emperor slowly shrank and turned into a sitting figure again.
Zheng Fa couldn't help but glance at Yan Changge with gratitude - at the critical moment, you have to rely on your own people!
Of course he has his own reasons, but if Nine Nether Emperor is so angry, he may not be able to listen to anything he says.
However, this Nine Nether Emperor really hates Lu Mo deeply.
Nine Nether Emperor looked at Zheng Fa solemnly, and there was still no intimacy in his voice. "I would like to hear what makes you so bold."
"It's you, the emperor."
"... me?"
"Emperor, when you gave me the array map and the inheritance of Venerable Tianhe to me, did you want a Nine Mountains Sect that could survive under the protection of the emperor?"
Nine Nether Emperor was silent, and after a long time he said, "No, but it can only be like this."
He looked at Zheng Fa and said frankly, "There is no need for Dao Venerable and Buddha Ancestor to take action. Those Golden Immortal will unite to attack Underworld. Although I am fine, Underworld others cannot bear it... They have been harassing me before, and Underworld cannot develop normally at all."
Only then did Zheng Fa understand why Nine Nether Emperor wanted to let go of the Reincarnation channel.
"Great Luo Dharma Assembly, no matter what Lu Mo wants to do, it will be difficult for me to stop it." Nine Nether Emperor couldn't help but smile a little bitterly when he said this, "I became enlightened, which can be said to have offended all Dao Fruit. You and Nine Mountains Sect were also implicated by me."
At this point, Nine Nether Emperor showed a hint of fatigue, and there was even a hint of despair in his tone - it can be seen that in his opinion, Lu Mo's convening of Great Luo Dharma Assembly has forced Underworld and Nine Mountains Sect into a desperate situation.
Zheng Fa was silent for a moment, and then said sincerely, "Without the emperor's protection, I, Nine Mountains Sect, would have died long ago, so why would I be involved? Nine Mountains Sect and I have always been grateful to the emperor."
Seeing that Nine Nether Emperor's expression became more and more gentle, Zheng Fa said again, "Emperor, Lu Mo wants to establish Immortal Way laws, are you really... willing to let them succeed?"
"Huh?" Nine Nether Emperor's eyes moved and he seemed to understand.
"Emperor, I am going to Leiyin. If Lu Mo Great Luo Dharma Assembly succeeds in integrating Golden Immortal, I, the monk Nine Mountains, will naturally have no power to resist and can only hide in Underworld... At that time, I, Nine Mountains Sect, will naturally follow the emperor's lead."
Nine Nether Emperor was not disappointed, but looked at Zheng Fa with something special in his eyes.
"If I... can destroy his plan, there will naturally be room for change. At that time, Nine Nether Emperor, please give me and Nine Mountains Sect more confidence."
Nine Nether Emperor's expression changed again and again, and he said after a while, "Do you want to bet with me?"
"It's just helpless, Great Luo Dharma Assembly has to go." Zheng Fa said frankly, "The emperor said it was a gamble, so let's forget it."
Nine Nether Emperor raised his head and looked to the west, seeming to be looking at Thunderclap Temple.
He didn't know how long it took before he sighed, "I don't know whether I want to lose or win."
