"Whoosh~"
In the distant sky, a cyan light spot suddenly appeared. In just a few breaths, it approached Ten Thousand Immortals Mountain, making the patrolling monks feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Ancient City-senpai"
After seeing the person clearly, the patrolling monk breathed a sigh of relief and cast a look of awe.
In the past twenty-five years, Liu Yu has completed several missions very well, and he has also met many Cloth-Clad Alliance Golden Core, and his reputation has gradually spread among the Cloth-Clad Alliance.
Even Qi Refining Foundation Establishment Cultivator is already familiar with him and knows that he is one of the most powerful Golden Core seniors in the league.
"Fellow Daoist Ancient City"
"Ancient City-senpai"
Landing on the mountainside, everyone greeted him, whether they were low-level monks or Golden Core True Person.
"Everyone, Fellow Daoist, Qingshui elders have convened, Gu will go first."
"Let's talk about old times another day."
Liu Yu smiled and smiled at several Golden Core Cultivator. He also smiled and nodded to some low-level monks.
With that said, he walked towards Hall of All Immortals located on the top of the mountain.
Since we intend to rely on the Cloth-Clad Alliance for long-term development, our actions must be consistent with it, and certain changes must be made in our style of conduct.
Compared with practicing alone, there is certainly less freedom.
But you don't have to worry about Sects Aristocratic Clan's suppression, and you can still get all kinds of conveniences from the Cloth-Clad Alliance, such as channels and knowledge, so it's a blessing.
Everything is the result of weighing the pros and cons.
"Tread"
Walking quickly, only about half a quarter of an hour later, the solemn "Hall of All Immortals" came into view of Liu Yu.
In Spiritual Perception, the auras in the hall were surging.
These smells may be familiar or unfamiliar, most of them belong to the Golden Core level, and a few are unfathomable, obviously Nascent Soul True Lord.
Nascent Soul True Lord, there is more than one person!
"More than one Nascent Soul True Lord is waiting here early, which shows that we take this matter seriously."
After this thought flashed through his mind, Liu Yu paused, took a deep breath to calm down, and then stepped over the threshold.
Entering the palace, he quickly scanned the room with his eyes.
Soon I saw the figures of Guo Poyun and other familiar monks.
Without exception, they are all core members, and their cultivation strength is the best among their peers.
In addition, headed by True Lord Qingshui, there were several Nascent Soul True Lord standing in the hall.
"Mingjing?!"
Liu Yu's pupils narrowed slightly, and he saw a somewhat familiar figure in the hall.
Everyone looked serious, and the sound of needles dropping could be heard in the hall. He walked to a corner in silence, but his mood was a bit complicated.
Over the past twenty years, Liu Yu has also dealt with Mingjing several times.
The two are relatively familiar with each other. The last time they met was seven years ago, when they were still Golden Core Peak.
"There are rumors in the alliance that Mingjing has been staying in Golden Core Peak for decades."
"Medium qualifications and opportunities are not enough. Nascent Soul Formation has a low chance of success."
"Unexpectedly, after seven years, this person was promoted to the Nascent Soul Realm and entered the ranks of elders."
Thinking this way, he admitted that he was a little envious.
After all, for all Golden Core Cultivator, Nascent Soul Bottleneck is a natural chasm that few can cross.
I don't know how many Heavenly Prodigy have failed and fallen into the sand here!
In Central Region Cultivation World, Spirit Transformation Divine Lord are located in the clouds, the dragon has its head but not its tail, and Nascent Soul Cultivator is standing on the upper level of Cultivation World.
As for Golden Core Cultivator, it can only be regarded as middle-level at best, or to put it nicely, it is the "mainstay".
But in the eyes of many Nascent Soul Old Monster, it is not worth mentioning at all.
After all, the high realm has always completely crushed the low realm, and the gap between the two cannot be calculated.
Nowadays, there is a living example before our eyes. How can we not make people envious of Breaking Through a Bottleneck who has successfully transcended classes?
Even though Immortal Mansion is relied upon and one of the Three Treasures of Nascent Soul Formations, "Nascent Soul Condensation Pill", has been obtained, Liu Yu cannot be said to be able to break through.
Just like among countless ordinary things, there are always one or two miracles, and the ending is not necessarily unchangeable.
As for whether he can Nascent Soul Formation, he can only try his best to increase the chance of success and make everything develop in a good direction.
"But this person can Nascent Soul Formation, which is indeed a bit surprising."
"It is said that Mingjing, among the disciples of True Lord Qingshui, is not the most outstanding one in terms of qualifications and opportunities."
"But the first Nascent Soul Formation surprised many people who were not optimistic about it."
Feeling the familiar aura in the palace, Liu Yu thought to himself.
He politely said "good fortune", but he originally didn't think that Mingjing could succeed with Nascent Soul Formation. After all, the difficulty of Nascent Soul Formation was there.
The hall was silent, and no monks made a sound to communicate.
Not long after Liu Yu stood still, Guo Poyun and other monks who had some friendship came over silently.
Their eyes met, and then they all shook their heads.
As the introducer of joining the alliance, Guo Poyun has always communicated closely with him and has maintained a good relationship. He can be regarded as a good friend.
As for the other monks, they got to know each other during the mission.
After seeing Liu Yu's vigorous and resolute style and outstanding strength, they became enthusiastic and took the initiative to say hello and get to know him.
Over the years, I have often visited him and exchanged my cultivation and fighting experiences, and I have become familiar with him over time.
Seeing that several of the monks he knew had no news about this mission, Liu Yu gently nodded and looked away, waiting quietly without saying a word.
"Boom"
As time passed, one monk after another entered the temple. When the sixteenth Golden Core entered, the door of the temple slowly closed and closed.
"Cloth-Clad Alliance's core members are far more than sixteen, at least one hundred."
"The monks present have at least a cultivation level of Late Golden Core."
"It seems that this mission is risky and difficult."
Upon noticing this situation, Liu Yu's heart sank slightly.
At this moment, True Lord Qingshui's kind and powerful voice sounded unhurriedly in the hall, clearly reaching the ears of every monk.
"All of the comrades who are here to discuss matters today are the core members of this alliance."
"I believe that all of you comrades are absolutely worthy of trust and will not disappoint the expectations of our alliance!"
"Just because we all have lofty ideals - overthrow Qian Court and reorganize Heaven and Earth!"
Looking around the entire hall, True Lord Qingshui's tone was as gentle as ever, like a kind elder, which made people feel kind involuntarily.
He is not at all aloof like the average Nascent Soul True Lord, and he never treats lower-level monks like ants. He has quite a reputation among the Cloth-Clad Alliance and even Jiang Province Rogue Cultivator groups.
"Overthrow Qian Court and reorganize Heaven and Earth!"
"We would like to respect the order of the elder Qingshui and ask the elder to issue the mission!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a monk whose name was at least Late Golden Core responded one after another.
Even Guo Poyun, who has always been steady, is the same, with a bit of fanaticism in his eyes.
Liu Yu Around him, several familiar monks reacted in the same way.
The rising and falling sounds gradually converged together, as if they were as unshakable as steel.
There is no gorgeous decoration, no hypocritical politeness, but this situation is very easy to associate with one word - united as one!
"No trace of Spells found."
Liu Yu was shocked and slightly moved.
From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the face of a famous monk and found that these monks all had a bit of fanaticism and a different luster in their eyes.
"Ideal?!"
"Faith?!"
From the pair of bright eyes, Liu Yu saw these things and saw the recognition from the heart.
"This intrigue, chaos and darkness Cultivation World."
"Are there really monks who can come together because of pure ideals?!"
He thought silently in his mind.
More than two hundred years of practice experience have made Liu Yu accustomed to looking at the entire world from the perspective of interests.
But now there are monks taking risks for the so-called "ideal", which is incomprehensible to him.
But the facts are in front of us, and no trace of Spells Divine Ability has been found. Liu Yu can only choose to believe it for the time being.
After all, the core members present are not unknown people, and their cultivation level is at least Late Golden Core.
Among countless Rogue Cultivator, it is one of a kind.
After cultivating to this point, it is difficult for the mind to be affected.
"This situation cannot be analyzed simply by "interest"."
"Perhaps it really is the so-called "ideal"?"
With all kinds of thoughts flashing around, Liu Yu's heart returned to calmness and returned to the state of calmness.
But his movements were not slow at all, and he also joined the shouting team with a "fanatic" look on his face.
"Not bad."
Looking around the hall, scanning the faces of the core members, and listening to the voices of unity in his ears, True Lord Qingshui looked pleased.
From the voices of core members, he knew that hundreds of years of hard work had not been in vain.
The courage of many monks has been awakened, and they dare to challenge Qian Court Sacred Lands, who are trustworthy "comrades".
From a pair of eyes, he saw determination, enthusiasm, and fearlessness of death.
"Okay, okay, okay!!"
Let the core members shout, True Lord Qingshui stroke their beards and say three good words in succession, which shows their satisfaction.
His face was slightly red and he was a little excited.
Seeing this scene, the new True Lord Mingjing behind him had a somewhat complicated look in his eyes.
It wasn't until after a few breaths that the atmosphere in the hall was completely aroused that True Lord Qingshui raised his hand and pressed it.
There were some enthusiastic shouts, and then they gradually subsided.
"I have already felt the thoughts of all of you comrades."
When he said this, True Lord Qingshui's face turned slightly red, and then he paused for a moment.
Taking a deep breath to calm down his ups and downs, his face gradually became solemn and he began to talk about the purpose of convening the core members:
"I believe you all know that in order to avoid direct attacks from Qian Court Sacred Lands and gain a firm foothold in Jiang Province, our alliance has always been known as conservative Rogue Cultivator Organizations."
"But the so-called "conservatism" is nothing more than a temporary compromise and a temporary policy."
"If you want to reorganize Heaven and Earth and give fairness to all Rogue Cultivator and Dao One, compromise will never be achieved!"
"If we want to achieve our common goal, we must put aside unrealistic illusions, hold Dharma Treasure Magical Artifact in our hands, and stand on the opposite side of Qian Court Sacred Lands!"
"Only by overthrowing Qian Court, wiping out Sacred Lands, and breaking the monopoly of Sects Aristocratic Clan can we achieve fairness."
"Therefore, under the cloak of conservatism, this alliance has always been Radical Rogue Cultivator Organization, a secret branch of "Purple Turban Army"."
True Lord Qingshui's tone was slightly trembling, and he was obviously a little excited.
But in his few words, he revealed a shocking secret!
Sixteen core members heard this, but only a few showed surprise.
Most monks thoughtfully accept the information that Cloth-Clad Alliance is a branch of "Purple Turban Army" easily.
Maybe he already knew it, or maybe he had already guessed it.
After all, the tokens of the core members of the Cloth-Clad Alliance are indeed similar to the Purple Turban Army flag and slogan to a certain extent, and it is difficult not to make associations with them.
Moreover, as Radical Rogue Cultivator Organization, we have to face the suppression of Qian Court Sacred Lands all the time, so there is a lot of cooperation between them.
As for "Purple Turban Army", as the most powerful and famous radical organization, it has connections with many similar organizations.
The difference is just more or less, this is no longer a secret.
Then it is not surprising that Cloth-Clad Alliance has an unclear relationship with it.
"Sure enough, there is a connection with the Purple Turban Army."
"I just didn't expect that the connection would be so close."
Below, Liu Yu looked calm, and this thought flashed through his mind.
When he got the token for the first time, he had a suspicion in this regard, and it was confirmed now.
Facing the encirclement and suppression by Qian Court Sacred Lands, Purple Turban Army suffered heavy casualties in most cases.
So where did each Purple Turban Army member come from?
Send some backbones to establish branches similar to Tangkou and Branch Hall. In the name of conserving Rogue Cultivator Organizations, they will not be attacked by Qian Court Sacred Lands.
In this way, new blood can be continuously absorbed, and suitable candidates can be selected from countless Rogue Cultivator to add strength to the main body.
"Because of this, Purple Turban Army is able to fight repeatedly, burning like wildfire."
Thinking about this, some doubts about the Purple Turban Army in Liu Yu's mind were easily solved.
After pausing again for a few breaths, and waiting for the core members to digest the information, True Lord Qingshui continued to speak:
"A few months ago, the Huai Province movement failed, and Purple Turban Army suffered heavy casualties."
"Only five of Nascent Soul's comrades escaped, and the remaining three fell behind. In the end, Nascent Soul Self-Detonation unfortunately died."
"Except for those who were directly killed, some of Comrade Golden Core also escaped safely, but twenty-one others were unfortunately controlled."
"Dharma Treasure was deprived, Golden Core was sealed, and lost the power to resist."
"According to reliable information, these twenty-one Golden Core comrades are currently being held in "Black Mountain Immortal Prison" and will be publicly executed in one year!"
After a pause, he continued to speak. His originally kind and elder-like tone changed and suddenly became impassioned:
"If Qian Court succeeds in this public execution, it will definitely have an extremely negative impact."
"It will make potential comrades uneasy and even shake their faith, which is not conducive to future Uprising!"
"Besides, this alliance is a branch of the Purple Turban Army. They all have the same "ideal" and fight to achieve the same goal."
"Both emotions and reasons should not be ignored!"
"Therefore, after Elders Council discussed and decided, we must launch a rescue operation for those twenty-one comrades before the execution day arrives."
At the end, True Lord Qingshui's tone was decisive.
The decisive tone, combined with the sometimes relaxed gestures, and the clear purpose, all showed Elders Council's determination.
As soon as he finished speaking, His Highness the monks nodded one after another.
As a fellow radical, Purple Turban Army is the most famous and has always challenged Qian Court Sacred Lands head-on. Many core members secretly admire him.
Hearing about the misfortune at this time, it is inevitable that some rabbits are dead and foxes are sad, and I feel sorry for the "comrades" who were restrained.
This kind of emotion is difficult for outsiders to understand.
In addition, after True Lord Qingshui's confession, this layer of origin as a branch, and the fact that the execution place is next door Huai Province, it is really unjustifiable not to launch a rescue.
This is how you should do both emotionally and rationally.
Among the crowd, Liu Yu also looked deeply convinced, as if he had been convinced.
But in his heart, he didn't think so.
He sneered at risking his life to rescue someone without any real benefits, just for an illusory "ideal".
These things are too empty and too idealistic for Liu Yu.
Perhaps, because he has been a Sects monk since he was a child, it is difficult for him to identify with the Cloth-Clad Alliance.
The reason why I showed deep recognition was because I didn't want to be too conspicuous.
After all, when the monks in the temple are united, if they show disapproval, they will definitely be suppressed.
Outliers will be rejected wherever they go, even if they have done nothing, so they must pretend.
Especially when True Lord Qingshui has revealed his secret, he cannot show his disapproval.
Otherwise, Liu Yu has reason to believe that True Lord Qingshui, who seems kind at this moment, will take action the next moment.
"Formation of Black Mountain Immortal Prison has found a way to break it."
"At that time, Nascent Soul True Lord, who is guarding the Immortal Prison, will also be restrained by me and others."
"Right now, we still need an elite team to venture into Black Mountain Immortal Prison and rescue the twenty-one comrades who have been controlled."
Looking back and forth, True Lord Qingshui regained his composure and stated the purpose of convening everyone this time.
Behind him, Mingjing and two other Nascent Soul True Lord, also looked at the crowd and carefully observed their reactions.
However, the result naturally satisfied them.
After all, as mentioned before, the monks who can be here at this time are all the core members of the Cloth-Clad Alliance.
Having gone through many tests, and having developed feuds with Qian Court, Sacred Lands and other vested interest groups, there is basically no need to worry about the position.
It's just that Black Mountain Immortal Prison is no small matter. It is a prison carefully built by Qian Court, specially designed to imprison monks above Golden Core.
In more than two thousand years of history, no monk has ever been able to escape.
Once inside, death is almost pronounced.
Therefore, although the ideal is beautiful and many monks are willing to sacrifice some interests for it, when it comes to their wealth and life, most members remain silent for the first time.
Only a few people stood up immediately without any hesitation.
True Lord Qingshui had already anticipated this situation, and was not disappointed at all. He just watched quietly.
After all, living is the instinct of all living things, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Living is instinctive and understandable.
Standing up is a choice, and it is rare and valuable.
"I'm willing to go!"
"Guo is willing to go to Black Mountain Immortal Prison!"
"Yunxi is also willing to go!"
After a brief hesitation, most of the monks still stood up firmly and chose to take risks.
Sonorous and powerful voices echoed in the hall.
After a brief hesitation, Liu Yu quickly reacted and also took a step forward:
"Ancient City is willing to go!"
If you hesitate at this time, you will undoubtedly look out of place.
It was about life, and although the situation was excusable, to a certain extent, the "faith" was not firm enough.
Maybe Cloth-Clad Alliance's senior management won't handle it on the spot.
However, it is inevitable that I will be left out and alienated afterwards, and there is a high probability that I will not have the chance to attend the next core member meeting.
Liu Yu was one of the last people to speak. His voice was not very loud, and his tone was not so firm. He seemed hesitant.
In this way, you not only show your "belief", but also express your true inner thoughts.
There is no shame in being afraid of death.
Under normal circumstances, he should not be the first choice, after all, there are so many comrades "actively participating" in front of him.
After Liu Yu, another person hesitated to speak, and in the end only one person did not come forward.
Looking at His Highness's condition, True Lord Qingshui nodded lightly, generally quite satisfied.
After scanning, no one stood out. A trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he immediately looked away.
"In Black Mountain Immortal Prison, there are also "comrades" like mine who have already figured out the basic situation."
"So the risk is not as big as imagined."
"Because of trust, you are willing to participate in this operation, and our alliance will naturally live up to it!"
"We can't let all of you comrades take risks in vain."
"I make the decision. No matter whether the rescue succeeds or fails, there will be a reward that satisfies you."
"Never let down our comrades who fight for our alliance!"
True Lord Qingshui continued to speak, talking about the situation of this mission, and made it clear that there was a generous reward for the mission.
In an extremely disadvantageous situation, the core members are still willing to stand on the opposite side of Qian Court Sacred Lands. This persistence is extremely valuable.
But when the test comes, no one can tell how long this persistence can last.
He understands that passion and ideals alone cannot last long, and there must be matching rewards.
After saying that, True Lord Qingshui said no more, and the palace fell into silence again.
This person's eyes kept moving, scanning the face of a famous monk, and began to look for suitable candidates for the task.
PS: There is a bit of lag, so I can only owe you the update first, and I will make up for it later, so I won't be a swindler.
