Mount Yu Sect Leader?!
The two scenes keep repeating.
Lu Qingfeng's voice was low and deep. "The Prince Consort is kind-hearted. Even though Ao Yin and Ao Pi often bullied the young prince when they were young, the Prince Consort was willing to repay them with kindness. However, these two sons took advantage of the situation to try to kill the Prince Consort, and even spoke disrespectfully to the teacher and the young prince. I happened to be passing by and was worried about the Prince Consort's safety, so I had no choice but to kill the two of them. As for the matter of my teacher's wife back then, I have also found some clues."
There was no need for Lu Qingfeng to explain further.
The two scenes in the air have clearly revealed the cause and effect of everything.
Ao Geng's eyes were gloomy.
Ao Zhan and Ao Lie, however, had a strong Sha Qi in their eyes.
A murderous intent surged forth.
"Ah!"
Four thousand naval troops from all sides suffered a brutal attack; regardless of whether they were friend or foe, all of them coughed up blood from their seven orifices and collapsed to the ground in despair.
Ao Geng's face was cold and stern, with a hint of ugliness mixed in, and he remained silent.
Ao Zhan's face flushed and his beard trembled slightly as he slowly said, "Back then, when I was desperate, you took the initiative to appear and offered to settle Yun'er in the Wu River for me, for which I am extremely grateful. This matter was kept secret, known only to you and me. There was no third person. Yet Ao Feng of the West Sea and Ao Xun of the East Sea found Yun'er so quickly. At the time, I was in a state of panic and thought it was the West Sea's doing. Afterwards, considering our friendship, I didn't think much of it."
"Now it seems that everything was planned by you all along."
"They would do such a despicable thing for a mere True Saint Thunder Seal."
Ao Zhan's voice was initially low and melancholic, but then grew increasingly stern and filled with hostility.
With a single thought, all kinds of knots in the heart are untied.
Upon closer reflection...
Ao Le was clearly in the Wu River Dragon Palace. If Ao Geng really cared, how could he not know his situation?
Thinking of Ao Le.
Ao Zhan's anger intensified, and his killing intent grew stronger.
Upon hearing this, Ao Geng frowned and said, "Ao Zhan, you have truly taken on a good disciple. You are quite adept at playing the trick of the villain accusing the innocent first. However, the informer from back then had nothing to do with me. The True Saint Thunder Seal was something I obtained by chance back then. Let's leave that matter aside for now. Ao Yin and Ao Pi spoke rudely, but their crimes do not warrant death. Let's leave that matter aside for now as well."
As he spoke.
Ao Geng pointed at Lu Qingfeng, his eyes blazing with murderous intent. "But today, you, Min River Luofu, publicly killed Ao Liang and Ao Zhi, and your eldest disciple Red Cypress, attacked and killed Ao Jun. In full view of everyone, no matter how much you rant and rave, you can't turn black into Black and White. I won't act on my own; you all must go with me to the Grand Marshal immediately, and he will decide the matter!"
Ao Geng's eyes were icy cold.
Knowing that with Ao Zhan protecting him, it would be difficult to kill Luofuzi and Ao Lie to avenge their descendants, such as Ao Liang and Ao Zhi.
But as long as the Heaven-Suppressing Grand Marshal presides over the punishment, not only will Luofuzi not escape calamity, but Min River Dragon Lord Ao Zhan, will also be forced to spread rumors.
He might even lose his position as a second-rank Dragon Lord.
"Among the five marshals of the Heaven-Suppressing Army, the Heaven-Shaking Eastern Marshal Ao Shang is Ao Geng's great-uncle, and Wu River belongs to Ao Shang's faction. With Ao Shang's help, if we go to the Grand Marshal, it will be difficult to distinguish Black and White. Senior Brother, you must be careful." Ao Lie was injured and his face was pale. Hearing Ao Geng's words, he transmitted his voice to Lu Qingfeng and said in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, rest assured."
Lu Qingfeng smiled, having already made his own calculations.
Ao Geng glared at Ao Zhan, Lu Qingfeng, and Ao Lie, then flicked his sleeves and shouted, "What, you don't dare to go?!"
Anyway.
The events of over 1,500 years ago are difficult to clarify once they become entangled. Even if it is found that he was the one who informed on Ao Geng, it would still be a personal feud between Ao Geng and Ao Zhan.
However, the fact that Min River Luofu killed four of his sons in succession, and that Red Cypress also killed one of his sons, is undeniable.
When they arrived before the Grand Marshal, their uncle Ao Shang further encouraged them.
Those who teach the Min River cannot escape their guilt!
I am resolute.
Seeing that Ao Geng and the other two did not move, Ao Zhan Geng sneered and did not delay any longer. Immediately, a mysterious light appeared under his feet, and he was about to ascend to the sky.
But at this moment—
Boom!
A beam of light descended from the sky and suddenly appeared in the arena.
Upon seeing him, Ao Geng immediately showed a respectful expression, bowed deeply, and said, "Ao Geng of the Wu River pays his respects to the Heaven-Shaking Eastern Marshal!"
The newcomer wore a dark blue armor and a helmet adorned with flying clouds; he was none other than the Heaven-Shaking Eastern Marshal, one of the five Heavenly Marshals of the Heaven-Suppressing Army the Sorrow River Dragon Palace.
Ao Shang!
"Min River Ao Zhan pays his respects to the Heaven-Shaking Eastern Marshal."
Upon seeing this, Ao Zhan quickly stepped forward to pay his respects.
He frowned, his mind racing, feeling somewhat uneasy.
"Greetings to the Heaven-Shaking Eastern Marshal!"
Every single soldier from all directions bowed down, their voices thundering. This was the mighty Marshal of the Five Heavens, a god-like figure in the eyes of his men. Seeing him today, even those bleeding from their seven orifices and collapsing to the ground struggled to kneel, shouting their devotion.
Ao Shang remained expressionless.
His face was square, giving him a rigid appearance.
His gaze swept over Ao Geng and Ao Zhan, finally landing on Lu Qingfeng. "The Grand Mount Yu Sect Leader invites you."
"The Mount Yu Sect Leader?"
"The Mount Yu Sect Leader?!"
"The Mount Yu Sect Leader?!?!"
Ao Geng, Ao Zhan, and Ao Lie, who had been bowing their heads respectfully, immediately looked up upon hearing these words, their gazes meeting as they all looked at Lu Qingfeng.
Then I took another look at Ao Shang.
As far as the eye could see, there was indeed Luofuzi in front of him.
Their eyes widened, their mouths slightly agape, and they all wore expressions of utter disbelief.
Luofuzi.
He actually became the leader of the Mount Yu Sect, one of the six great immortal sects of Chunshen?!
"It seems so."
"Ao Zhuo and the others were so anxious about the Bloodspring Abyss-Suppressing Grand Formation that they didn't even tell Min River about my becoming the Mount Yu Sect Leader."
Lu Qingfeng understood the situation upon seeing it.
Perhaps besides being busy with affairs and focusing on the Bloodspring Demon Sect, Ao Zhuo and other high-ranking True Immortal of the Sorrow River Dragon Palace were also having headaches about how to deal with the Mount Yu Sect and Lu Qingfeng, the Mount Yu Sect Leader.
It's understandable that Min River didn't know.
"Thank you for your trouble, Marshal. May I wait a moment?"
Lu Qingfeng composed himself and looked at the Heaven-Shaking Eastern Marshal, speaking as if they had known each other for a long time.
In fact.
The two had indeed met before.
Three years ago, atop Mount Yu, the Heaven-Suppressing Grand Marshal Ao Zhuo, the leader of the Five Heavenly Marshals, led four generals behind him, who were the four marshals of the East, West, South and North.
Heaven-Shaking Eastern Marshal Ao Shang, who was renowned throughout the Eastern Heavens, was also among them.
"Marshal--"
Seeing this, Ao Geng hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Ao Shang.
Ao Shang ignored him.
He said to Lu Qingfeng, "Don't keep the Grand Marshal waiting."
That's an agreement.
Even when summoned by the Grand Marshal, he could still delay, so Ao Geng had no more doubts.
"Can--"
"How could this boy possibly become the Mount Yu Sect Leader?!"
Ao Geng's mind was in turmoil, and he lost his previous confident and composed demeanor.
"Luofu".
"The Mount Yu Sect Leader."
Ao Zhan and Ao Lie looked at Lu Qingfeng and saw that he was neither humble nor arrogant in front of the Heaven-Shaking Eastern Marshal. Their eyes immediately lit up with admiration.
Waiting in silence.
The field was silent.
Ao Shang's eyes were half-closed, seemingly oblivious to the passage of time.
About half an hour later.
Beyond the northern sky, seven streaks of light, carrying wind and fire, suddenly arrived.
Seven Daoists of similar build landed in front of Lu Qingfeng, bowed respectfully, and said, "Reporting to the Sect Leader, we have fulfilled our mission and killed the Red Serpent, the general of Dark Eagle Mountain in the Northern Dark Continent. Here is his head; please examine it, Sect Leader!"
The leading Daoist priest raised his hand, and a huge snake head rolled to the ground.
His eyes were fixed upwards, devoid of any life force; he was utterly dead.
"Thank you for your hard work, fellow disciples."
Lu Qingfeng quickly thanked him.
These seven individuals were also cultivators of the Mount Yu Sect. They cultivated in the Sea of No Delusion, specifically the Star-Swallowing Mountain, and established a considerable foundation by opening up their own residence. They were known as the "Star-Devouring Seven Ancestors" and were of the same generation as the previous sect leader Gu Xuan, and Gu Yang of the Sea of No Delusion.
Even though Lu Qingfeng was the sect leader, he still had to address the seven of them as "Uncle-Master".
These Star-Devouring Seven Ancestors Devouring Sect were all at the Primordial Spirit stage. When the seven of them joined forces, they set up the 'Star-Devouring Sword Formation,' which even Gu Xuan found troublesome and was unwilling to fight against.
The two worlds merge.
The secrets of heaven have faded away.
Lu Qingfeng calculated that Red Cypress had betrayed Dark Eagle Mountain and committed endless sins. Three years ago, he personally went to Star-Swallowing Mountain to invite the Star-Devouring Seven Ancestors. These seven knew that the new sect leader had a very deep background and a limitless future. Moreover, he was the sect leader personally appointed by three True Immortal Ancestor.
It's naturally good to sell.
That's why we're in this situation now.
"You're too kind, Master."
"If there are no further instructions, we will return to Star-Swallowing Mountain first."
Yao Xingzi, the leader of the Star-Devouring Seven Ancestors, waved to Lu Qingfeng and smiled.
"Good."
"Qingyuan will definitely visit you in person to express his gratitude another day."
Lu Qingfeng cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.
The Star-Devouring Seven Ancestors smiled one by one, their gazes sweeping over Ao Geng, Ao Zhan, and Ao Shang. Especially Ao Shang, whose aura was similar to that of the three ancestors of the Mount Yu Sect.
"Mahayana True Immortal!"
The seven were alarmed, increasingly realizing that this new sect leader was no ordinary person.
By doing this favor, we will surely reap considerable benefits in the future.
One by one, they were filled with both fear and joy, and they used their escape lights to return to Star-Swallowing Mountain.
After the seven people left.
No wonder.
Ao Zhan looked at Lu Qingfeng, and his previous doubts were immediately resolved. As the Mount Yu Sect Leader, he possessed immense fortune, Fortune-Illuminating Mirror could not detect his location.
But then I thought about it again—
Even the Fortune-Illuminating Mirror couldn't find any trace of his disciple, so how did Ao Geng discover that the person who killed Ao Yin and Ao Pi was Luofuzi?
"It was Ao Geng who left a contingency plan on the two of them, which allowed him to detect the signs of death."
"Or is Luofu deliberately creating a flaw?"
Ao Zhan looked at 'Luofuzi', but felt only a fog of confusion, unable to see through it any further.
Lu Qingfeng ignored what Ao Zhan was thinking.
He pointed to the huge head of the Red Cypress on the ground and said to Ao Zhan, "Master, the Red Cypress could not resist the temptation and betrayed the Northern Sea demons. Your disciple has overstepped his bounds and has cleansed the sect on your behalf. Please punish me, Master."
"The Red Cypress has gone astray, its sins are unforgivable. You have cleansed the sect for your master, this is a meritorious act, what crime have you committed?"
Ao Zhan's thoughts shifted, a smile appearing on his pale face as he reached out to help Lu Qingfeng up. The grudge from the Wu River was resolved; from now on, there was no more gratitude between them. Now, his disciple had been transformed again, becoming the head of the Mount Yu Sect once more.
This is truly a double celebration.
Even Ao Zhan couldn't help but smile.
Lu Qingfeng stood respectfully.
In a short time.
The harmonious relationship between master and apprentice is the envy of many.
"The Mount Yu Sect Leader."
"The Grand Marshal has been waiting for a long time."
Suddenly Ao Shang spoke up from the side.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingfeng repeatedly said, "This junior is ashamed to have kept the Marshal waiting. I will depart now."
As he spoke.
Ao Shang didn't respond, but simply nodded slightly towards the northern horizon. Immediately, auspicious clouds gathered beneath his feet, enveloping Lu Qingfeng, Ao Zhan, Ao Lie, and Ao Geng. The auspicious clouds ascended and headed towards the Heaven-Suppressing Army's main camp.
