Shifting, Part Three

"Compared to my Human Immortal Temple, how did you deal with the Reverse Time Society?" Zhang Rongfang did not answer, but instead asked a question.

"Severely damaged, then hidden," Ran Xin Yue replied.

"What about the Confucian Sect?" Zhang Rongfang asked again.

"Severely damaged, disintegrated, now..." Dongfang Mu shook his head slightly.

"Why is that? Are the Spirit General and Divine General truly invincible?" Zhang Rongfang asked after a moment of silence.

"We can fight against Spirit General Divine General and divine generals. But we cannot fight against Gods and Buddhas," Dongfang Mu replied. "The will of man is far too weak compared to the will of Gods and Buddhas. Gods and Buddhas are immortal, while we only have one chance to live or die. Therefore, this is the key reason why we hide behind the scenes."

He sighed.

"In a direct confrontation, one will surely die. Once Gods and Buddhas Great God Descent, you have seen that kind of power. An ordinary Spirit General can instantly transform into a top-tier expert, not to mention there are even stronger Spirit General."

Therefore, only Gods and Buddhas can suppress Gods and Buddhas. As for us, as long as we can passively maintain ourselves from being affected, that is already the Human Extreme.

The only way to fight them is to undermine their ranks and reduce their number of followers!

Dongfang Mu stared intently at Zhang Rongfang.

"Therefore, your ambush and killing of that Spirit General will surely cause a stir among the Gods and Buddhas. They have sent so many experts here, which means they no longer care about the protection of the Great Dao Sect."

From this moment on, you must stop relying on Yue Dewen and start thinking about how to survive these attacks on your own!

Zhang Rongfang fell silent.

He was still feeling tired, and if another Spirit General Great God Descent to occur in a short period of time, he might not be able to withstand it.

Dongfang Mu's meaning is quite clear.

They should either leverage Confucian Sect or the Reverse Time Society to conceal themselves.

But a strong sense of resentment welled up in his heart.

Suddenly, a black bird flew in from outside the small hall and landed on Dongfang Mu's shoulder.

He narrowed his eyes, took the black bird, and removed the bamboo tube from its leg.

Open the bamboo tube and pour out the Paper Scroll inside.

Let's take a look.

Suddenly, he stood up from his seat, his expression changing drastically.

"How... how is this possible?!"

Zhang Rongfang, Heavenly Maiden, and Ran Xin Yue Xinyue were all drawn to the paper he was holding.

"Master Dongfang, what's wrong with you?!" Zhang Rongfang frowned and stood up.

For a Great Grandmaster to lose his composure like this, something extremely terrible must have happened to shock him so much.

This gave him a slight sense of foreboding.

Dongfang Mu raised his head, his expression somewhat blank.

"King Mu Li is dead, Kexiwo rebels, and Yue Dewen merges the two armies and heads straight for Great Capital!"

"!!"

Inside the small hall, the three remained silent.

"Weren't they facing off against each other with large armies before? Kexiwo even injured Yue Dewen. How could this be?!" Ran Xin Yue murmured in disbelief.

They Reverse Time Society great lengths to instigate such a war, and now... "That was before," Dongfang Mu said with a complicated expression. "Yue Dewen deceived the entire world!"

As he said this, he looked at Zhang Rongfang with a complicated expression.

The latter had no response and could only remain silent.

*** at the Du Zhou Mountain.

King Mu Li Barracks.

There was no fighting, no deathmatch.

Inside the commander's tent.

Kexiwo looked at King Mu Li chest was stained with blood and who lay motionless on the ground. He shook his head slightly.

"I've advised you many times, but it's a pity we've come to this point. I didn't want it to be like this either." He and King Mu Li were also good friends, and now he had no choice but to take action, which made him feel bad.

"Brother Ke is truly trustworthy; he always keeps his word. He acts on his promises without hesitation. Even with longtime friends, he can be ruthless."

Inside the tent, Yue Dewen picked up a cup of ginseng tea, slowly took a sip, and remained calm.

"It was just a temporary alliance," Kexiwo said calmly. "Now that we have the upper hand, the brain marrow collection is almost complete, and the disobedient factions have all been eliminated. The real battles are about to begin, aren't they?"

"Yes. We've known each other for many years, it seems you understand me best." Yue Dewen nodded. "Last time too, thanks to you, we managed to get everyone together and resolve everything easily. Our teamwork is just as good as ever."

"Are you alright?" Kexiwo frowned.

"Your attack wasn't the problem; it seems the Earth Mother Goddess Snow Rainbow Pavilion has sensed something," Yue Dewen sighed. "Another old friend is lost. Is it my fault, or his?"

"Neither." Kexiwo also fell silent for a moment. "It's just a difference in perspective, nothing more."

"Is everyone else ready?" Yue Dewen asked finally.

"Everything's ready. I'm afraid the people outside are still completely confused, thinking we're engaged in a full-scale battle." Kexiwo laughed.

"However, if it weren't for the Divine Decree, I really wouldn't dare to believe you."

"We are old friends," Yue Dewen emphasized.

"How many of your old friends are still alive?" Kexiwo retorted.

"Let's go." Yue Dewen didn't say anything more. He stood up, walked to the exit, and lifted the curtain.

A handsome young man in fine clothes bowed respectfully to him from outside.

"Qinghe greets Yue Sect Leader."

"Good boy." Yue Dewen patted his head. "Following your master is better than following your heartless old man."

"I think so too," Qinghe said with a smile.

He was the illegitimate son of King Mu Li and the heir to the throne, as well as one of Kexiwo's personal disciples.

"Where is your Heavenly Artisan Craftsman?"

"Seeing the situation was not good, they left earlier," Qinghe replied. "A few disobedient Palace Generals also left with them."

"That guy's fast," Yue Dewen said, stroking his chin.

"By the way, Yue Sect Leader, I have a question. I wonder if you could answer it?" Qinghe said.

"Go ahead. I'll answer whatever I can." Yue Dewen was in a good mood at the moment.

"Are you really injured?" Qinghe asked curiously, her eyes wide open.

"Really." Yue Dewen nodded. "How else could we deceive the whole world?"

"Then, Jade Words Palace Master, did you really have a falling out? Did she leave?" Qinghe asked again.

"It's true. She's not planning to come back." Yue Dewen nodded.

Qinghe was speechless.

"You want to ask why, despite having life-and-death feuds with so many sects, they are all willing to listen to me and cooperate with me this time? Right?" Yue Dewen said with a smile.

"Yes," Qinghe was indeed puzzled by this.

Yue Dewen had previously killed so many experts and so many sect followers. Why are they still willing to cooperate in this operation now? Why are they willing to obey his orders?

Yue Dewen looked up at the countless Barracks tents stretching to the horizon. And in the distance, sporadic acts of resistance continued to erupt.

"Actually, I was quite surprised too."

"Perhaps it's because we all have a common enemy?"

His last sentence was spoken in a softer and softer voice, as if he were not answering Qinghe, but only himself.

Nowadays, Great Capital within a hundred li are within easy reach.

Although I have entered and exited this place countless times.

But this time, it's different. *** "Quick! Run!!"

A rebel force that managed to break out from behind King Mu Li, led by several Silver Armor Generals, broke through the blockade and escaped from the soldiers' encirclement at full speed.

Fortunately, no one fought to the death, and the general who was ordered to suppress them only gave them a token chase before letting them go.

King Mu Li suddenly died, and his son succeeded him, immediately declaring that Kexiwo would be in charge of all military affairs.

Then came a series of actions to eliminate dissidents and reclaim military power.

Some generals refused and were killed on the spot.

The few remaining die-hards led their men and fled back on horseback.

Taking advantage of the army's confusion and the generals' lack of fighting spirit, who were unsure of what to do.

Everyone is waiting for things to stabilize at the top.

These escaped men took the opportunity to flee the Barracks's coverage area and galloped along the road they had come from.

One of the men was wearing armor similar to the other soldiers and looked like an ordinary deputy general.

However, if any high-ranking official saw his face, they would be greatly surprised.

This person bears an uncanny resemblance to the current King Mu Li! 'The second double is dead too. Kexiwo. I treated you like a brother! And this is how you repay me?!?'

This person is none other than the true, extremely well-hidden True King Mu Li!

He had used up both of his life's work of training doubles. In return, he escaped two life-or-death situations.

Now that he has escaped the cage of his predicament, King Mu Li has finally figured things out.

What exactly does Kexiwo want to do?

Or rather, what do the Thousand Sect Alliance, Kexiwo, and all the other sects, including the Great Dao Sect, truly want to do? "As expected of the Number One Under Heaven, he can scheme against everyone in the world with a single move!" The more King Mu Li thought about it, the more shocked and angry he became.

At this point, the group he led had already fled to a distance of more than ten miles from the main army.

"Your Prince, everything's gone now!? We have nothing left!? What are we going to do now!?" The young guard slowed his horse and looked over in despair.

"Return to our territory! With the Earth Mother Offering, we still have a chance! We can rise again!" King Mu Li said fiercely.

"Earth Mother Offering?!"

"Not bad! There's still hope! We haven't lost yet!! Let's go!" King Mu Li shouted in a low voice.

A group of over a hundred riders quickly galloped away in the direction they had come from.

***At this time, the area around Wushan Prefecture.

Two blurry figures landed lightly on a tree branch, looking down at the distant Wish Woman Canyon.

"That is the headquarters of the Human Immortal Temple, a place where Remnant God reside. Truly, it is an evil god and demon, and everyone should kill it!" a person said coldly.

"Sang Lan was killed in a place like this? How ridiculous!" another person said.

"That kid was unwilling to practice martial arts diligently and was greedy for enjoyment, so he deserved this calamity."

"Why say so much? Let's go in and see first. Does a mere Remnant God dare to stop us?"

As Earth Mother Offering, the two of them had long been accustomed to the feeling that all the Gods and Buddhas outside were subordinate to them.

Although they were merely Earth Mother Offering, their strength was roughly equal to Sang Lan's. However, they had powerful backers behind them.

Just as the two were preparing to enter the Wish Woman Canyon.

An invisible wave shot down from the distant sky like lightning, striking the two men on the head.

"Yue Dewen is alright!?"

The two paused, stopping in their tracks.

"Are you still going?" someone asked in a low voice.

"You go, I'm not going," the other person replied.

"Then I won't go either."

"This area is designated by the Great Dao Sect as a no-go zone. Just take a look around, and don't make a move. Let's keep things peaceful."

"Indeed, peace is the most important thing, so let's go out for a walk to clear our heads."

***On the other side.

On the Official Road from Great Capital to Wushan Prefecture.

Two sedan chairs were being carried by four stoic-faced porters, speeding along the road.

"On this trip to Wu Mountain, the Human Immortal Temple is truly peculiar, actually creating a special Human Seed of people who can heal their injuries by drinking blood. This time, we should capture more to take back and study carefully." A woman's cold voice came from inside a sedan chair.

"I am quite interested in that abbot. He was able to kill Sang Lan head-on, which shows he is indeed very powerful. Although the Cold Sky God behind Sang Lan is only a mere Remnant God, when he descends to full Divine Descent, he is only slightly weaker than me."

Inside the other sedan chair, a gentle-spoken young man's voice could be heard.

"I bet you're planning to capture a few beautiful women who can heal themselves indefinitely, aren't you? To enjoy their virginity every night, isn't that what you're after?" the woman said disdainfully.

"An Ning, you still have too many misunderstandings about me," the man said with a wry smile.

"Misunderstanding? I saw it with my own eyes back then." Before the woman could finish speaking, an invisible wave descended from the sky and entered the minds of the two of them.

The sound stopped abruptly, and both of their expressions changed instantly.

"Yue Dewen is alright!?"

"Not only is everything alright, but Kexiwo and the Great Bright Teaching Alliance were just pawns! What a grand scheme!" the woman said through gritted teeth.

"Our family is in crisis, we must return immediately!" the man said in a deep voice.

The two sedan chairs suddenly stopped, turned around, and sped off towards Great Capital.

At the same time, teams of experts First Squad were originally heading to the vicinity of Wushan Prefecture to investigate the matter of the Human Immortal Temple were also affected.

At that moment, they all turned around simultaneously and frantically headed back towards Great Capital.
