Dao Lineage Disciples

The night was dark.

A single lamp flickered dimly.

Above the ninth floor of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

Guizhenzi glanced at the pitch-black night outside the window and said in a deep voice:

"Lord Qingcheng, Lord Hanhai, and Lord Baihui are all at the peak of Taiyi, with one foot already in the Grand Dao Realm."

"And secretly instigated and colluded with many Marketplace owners in the True One Realm."

"At tomorrow's conference, I fear their attack could happen any minute now."

A hint of helplessness flashed in the old man's weathered eyes.

No matter how many schemes and plots he devises, how can he withstand supernatural powers that can break through all laws?

"Fellow Daoist Qingrong, have you been able to find any trace of the Dao Master?"

The Old Man Qingrong, dressed in green, leaned on a wooden cane with a green gourd hanging from it, emitting medicinal fumes and a lingering fragrance.

After establishing a firm foundation in the Wuyi Mountains, his cultivation progressed extremely rapidly.

He had already deciphered the Life and Death Gate ten thousand years ago and attained the status of the Grand Unity Great Sage.

Upon hearing Guizhenzi's question, a hint of worry appeared on the peaceful face of the Old Man Qingrong:

"I have searched the Four Seas and Eight Wastelands with my eyes and ears in the Marketplace, but I still cannot find any trace of the Dao Master."

"Although he possesses extraordinary abilities, that figure from the Western Demonic Cult is not someone to be trifled with."

"It's already a miracle that the Dao Lord was able to escape from his grasp..."

He is probably still recovering somewhere, waiting for the right time.

Unfortunately, the Daoist body that the Daoist Master preached on the Wei River naturally perished after the Daoist Master withdrew from the Myriad Heavens and Universes in order to sever the cause and effect.

Otherwise, at least there would be someone to ask for help.

The Old Man Qingrong didn't say the rest explicitly, but everyone present was a clear-headed person, and they all understood the principle.

Guizhenzi took a deep breath and turned to ask Madam Jiuzhen.

"Fellow Daoist, have you been searching far and wide and found a former friend of the Dao Master for help?"

Madam Jiuzhen's face was ashen, and she shook her head bitterly.

Before Guizhenzi could speak, Jin Chentao's anger flared up instantly.

"I don't know about the other adults, but my lord established the Xuanmen Earth Immortal Lineage, and is revered alongside that sect leader in the realm of Earth Immortals."

"Is the one on Longevity Mountain really so aloof and cold-hearted, showing absolutely no mercy?"

People leave, and the tea grows cold.

Although the lord is now in hiding Zhou Tian Universe, there is no sign of his demise. Is this not a case of "the tea has gone cold after he's gone"?

Madam Jiuzhen hurriedly denied it:

"That's not the case."

"But whenever I went out to seek help, there were always many obstacles."

"To this day, the location of the Immortal Mountain has not yet been found."

"Moreover, those lords once fought against the Western Demonic Cult Sect for the sake of the Wuyi Mountain Dao Lineage."

"We forced several old demons to swear an oath that they would not harm any members of our sect before the Dao Lord returns."

"How could I be the kind of person who kicks someone when they're down?"

The room fell eerily silent after those words were spoken.

Indeed, as Madam Jiuzhen said.

After Zhou Yuan escaped from the clutches of the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord, he went into hiding throughout the Zhou Tian Universe.

Thus began the feud between the Daoist Wuyi Mountain Dao Lineage and the Western Demonic Cult.

The Great Freedom Heavenly Son, a quasi -Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerate, would naturally not bother with ants below the level of Dao Lord.

However, some of the old demons under his command, who were at the level of Innate Dao Lords, coveted the vast territory of Wuyi Mountain and began to vie for it.

In the end, it was only through the intervention of the two masters from Phoenix Perch Mountain and Zhenyuan Dao Lord that the disciples and followers of the Wuyi Mountain Dao Lineage scattered elsewhere were saved.

Therefore, Jin Chentao's complaints were completely unreasonable.

But this makes it even more terrifying to think about.

It should be noted that Madam Jiuzhen was already at the Taiyi level of cultivation. Although she was only just entering the Taiyi Realm, the one who could plot against her so secretly must be a being who had attained the Dao Fruit.

This being seems to have also clouded the perception of several adults...

As for why this being didn't take action personally...

Clearly, even though the Dao Lord has not yet returned, they dare not leave any trace and give the Dao Lord a clue.

'With jackals at one's side and a fierce tiger lurking in the shadows.'

"I have the will to kill the traitors, but I lack the power to save the situation."

'What can be done? What can be done!'

Guizhenzi's already hunched body became even more bent, and in an instant he seemed to have aged considerably.

Although their Wuyi Mountain Dao Lineage has a powerful Dao Master in charge, their foundation and strength are still far inferior to those Dao lineages with long-standing traditions and numerous disciples.

After the Dao Lord went into hiding in the Myriad Heavens and Universes, the Wuyi Mountain Dao Lineage was reduced to a few scattered individuals. Now, with a powerful figure plotting against them, even a few Great Saints at the peak of the Taiyi realm couldn't handle it.

But...

"The Acquired Merchant Dao are crucial to the rise and fall of my lineage."

"I owe my current achievements to the grace of the Dao Master."

This is something we absolutely must repay.

Guizhenzi bowed to Wu Zhiqi, who sat at the head of the table, and said:

"However, young master bears the heavy responsibility of inheriting the Dao lineage. Please take refuge in the caves of Wuyi Mountain for the time being and await the opportune moment!"

The four Taiyi— Old Man Qingrong, Jin Chentao, Madam Jiuzhen Granny Huai— followed closely behind, bowing in unison:

"Young Master, you possess extraordinary talent and are destined to be a pillar of our lineage. Please retreat to your grotto and await the future."

They had already resolved to die.

Knowing full well the perilousness of tomorrow's meeting, they still refused to back down even an inch.

They are disciples of the Wuyi Mountain Dao Lineage.

He was a disciple under the command of Dao Lord Taiyuan.

To retreat without a fight would be to disgrace the master and make him lose face.

This is absolutely unacceptable to them.

He was deeply grateful for the Dharma lineage.

The Wuyi Mountain Dao Lineage can be defeated, can die, but cannot surrender or back down!

With golden claws and snow-white teeth, Wu Zhiqi, clad in golden and white armor, suddenly opened his eyes, his golden pupils resembling the rising sun.

Although he was small in stature, no one present dared to underestimate him.

This spirit, nurtured by the four rivers, already possessed a profound foundation and was a darling of the water element.

He followed the Daoist master in his cultivation and also practiced the Phoenix Perch Mountain Dao Lineage.

His Dao Cultivation and supernatural abilities were truly terrifying and extraordinary.

Not to mention, after Zhou Yuan hid in the Grand Void universe, he personally went to the region where the Western Demonic Cult was located and killed tens of thousands of demons. In the end, he even attracted an old demon at the Great Luo realm to personally intervene.

Although he received help from Zhenyuan Dao Lord, he was spared from death and the dissipation of his Dao.

However, their ruthless methods are evident.

"Fellow Daoists, why bother with this?"

"Though I am not talented, as a disciple of my master and a direct descendant of the Wuyi Mountain Dao Lineage, how can I retreat to the grotto heaven?"

Those platinum -Golden Ring- shaped eyes gleamed faintly, Wu Zhiqi smiled slightly, revealing sharp, fine teeth:

"My cultivation has barely reached the Taiyi, but having inherited my master's lineage and supernatural powers, and after my journey to the Western Demon Refining Realm, the blood energy and Demonic Intent I have accumulated are almost complete."

"My supernatural powers have already reached a minor level. It is absolutely impossible for those few demons to escape unscathed."

"Even if it means I die from exhaustion, Laozi 'll kill him to my heart's content before I die!"

Amidst the billowing malevolent aura, a bloody storm raged.

A dark, Demonic Intent was faintly revealed in Wu Zhiqi's golden eyes.

Behind it, a hazy, chaotic phantom, roaring to the sky with a bloodthirsty madness, seemed to want to tear the universe apart and shatter the Sun, Moon, and Stars.
