When they came out of the hall, the Foundation Establishment who were associated with the East Mountain Cheng Lineage tactfully avoided suspicion.
They might temporarily retreat into seclusion, avoiding all contact with others; or they might delve into profound mysteries and seek the Dao, detached from all other matters.
Ding Chengyu slowly walked out of the hall, walked up to Chen Shuangbai, and suddenly sighed, saying, "Junior brother, why are you still here?"
Chen Shuangbai hadn't seen this Senior Brother Ding for a long time.
He and Ding Chengyu are both at the Higher Vehicle Foundation Establishment, and they will definitely achieve the Golden Core stage in the future.
In recent years, Chen Shuangbai has either been in seclusion cultivating or traveling at sea, never neglecting his cultivation at all.
This Senior Brother Ding ... Chen Shuangbai looked him over carefully and sighed, "It's been a long time. Senior Brother's cultivation hasn't lagged behind either. Has he been entrusted with an important task by the sect?"
Ding Chengyu replied with a smile:
"Same to you."
"I'm not very good at fighting with people, so I took a sinecure and now I work at the Jade Guarding Hall."
Jade Guarding Hall?
Chen Shuangbai pondered that Ding Chengyu was Higher Vehicle Foundation Establishment and would surely become Golden Core True Person in the future. How could the sect assign him a sinecure? At the very least, he should be given the position of Deputy Hall Master.
Otherwise... how could he possibly attend today's meeting at the Abyss Suppression Hall?
The rebellion of the East Mountain Cheng Lineage has had a tremendous impact. True Person Bo has dispatched Exalted Cultivator Li to take full charge of the matter, while appointing Ding Chengyu, Yan Heng, and Chen Shuangbai as his deputies to quell the rebellion and thoroughly investigate the truth to serve as a warning to others.
Ding Chengyu stood there, squinting, watching Chen Shuangbai gradually disappear into the distance, while muttering to himself:
'It's only been a few years, and the hurdle of the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage has become as thin as a windowpane. This Sword Immortal junior brother... is truly remarkable.'
After being reborn.
Ding Chengyu adheres to a low-key cultivation approach; if he weren't at the Higher Vehicle Foundation Establishment... he would probably still be unknown within the sect.
Thanks to this foresight, even though he has not yet become a disciple of the three True Person, his cultivation is still very advanced. However, compared to Chen Shuangbai... Ding Chengyu rarely felt a sense of looking up at a high mountain.
"Aside from swordsmanship and Thunder Method... this junior brother sword immortal must have mastered some extremely powerful Secret Method."
Although Chen Shuangbai had no intention of killing, Ding Chengyu still sensed something unusual.
"Furthermore... even the most advanced Higher Vehicle Foundation Establishment will awaken a Divine Ability ability for self-protection."
Ding Chengyu felt he had already overestimated Chen Shuangbai's cultivation level, but only by coming into contact with her true form could he understand just how vast the difference truly was.
He sighed softly, then suddenly remembered something else.
" Junior Brother Chen is one thing, but what's with that Junior Sister Fu...?"
The Jade Spring Sect was furious at the Cheng Lineage's open rebellion.
Therefore, the sect's violent institutions were mobilized in a very short time.
One of the Flowing Light Cloud Boat was deployed, carrying hundreds of disciples from the Evil Hunting Hall and the Jade Guarding Hall, along with six Foundation Establishment cultivators and several other flying boats, forming a large flying boat army that set off towards East Mountain Commandery.
Cheng Lineage East Mountain Commandery.
At this moment, the hall was brightly lit, and all the key figures of the Cheng Lineage had arrived.
Cheng Yin, the head of the Cheng Lineage family, Cheng Yin the main seat. His hair was white and his face was thin, but his eyes were sharp and piercing. His fingers tapped the armrest of the rosewood chair with a dull sound that resonated in the hearts of every attendee.
Below, sat more than a dozen core elders of the Cheng Lineage clan, as well as an outsider dressed in a black robe.
The Cheng Lineage family members had a variety of expressions: some were flushed with excitement, some had furrowed brows and looked worried, and some looked anxious and restless... It was truly a remarkable display of human nature.
"Patriarch... the Jade Spring Sect has already dispatched troops, including six Foundation Establishment cultivators, hundreds of disciples from the Hunting Demon and Jade Guarding Hall, and three True Person, most likely True Person Bo. How can we possibly stop them?"
Cheng Yu, an older clan elder with a composed face, frowned and asked.
"How can you stop us? The East Mountain Cheng Lineage is no longer what it used to be. Even if Golden Core cultivator came, they couldn't do anything to us!"
A burly elder named Cheng Biao, a leading figure in the pro-war faction, suddenly stood up. His voice boomed with undisguised excitement. "With the Holy Church's special envoy here, how could we possibly be defeated?"
"But that's the Jade Spring Sect! It's Golden Core True Person!"
Cheng Yu's voice trembled, "If True Person Bo were to personally intervene..."
" True Person Bo?"
Cheng Yin, who had been silent Cheng Yin, finally spoke, his voice hoarse and gloomy. "Under normal circumstances, my Cheng Lineage would naturally fear him to some extent, but now my family has the Holy Sect backing us up!"
Cheng Yin looked at the man in black robes who had remained silent throughout, his gaze filled with reverence, and said, "The Holy Sect Master is Nascent Soul Great Cultivator; he could destroy the Jade Spring Sect with a single hand!"
"If he dares to come, the envoy will naturally deal with him!"
The man in black robes finally moved. His eerie green eyes swept over Cheng Yin, then slowly swept over everyone in the hall. His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like the scraping of metal. "Patriarch Cheng, rest assured. Now that my sect has cooperated with the Cheng Lineage, we will naturally not stand idly by."
"That Golden Core cultivator surnamed Bo from the Jade Spring Sect will be dealt with by our sect's experts. If he doesn't come, fine, but if he dares to come here in person... hehe!"
He let out a series of chilling low laughs and didn't continue speaking.
The Cheng Lineage family members had already witnessed the methods of this envoy, which were extremely cruel and treacherous.
yes!
If the Transformation Sect were to actually send one or more Golden Core Golden Core cultivators... no matter how powerful the Jade Spring Sect is, it's still just Golden Core sect. How could it compare to the Transformation Sect, which has Nascent Soul True Lord in charge?
"Did you hear that, Elder Yu? With an Transformation Sect overseeing things, what do we have to fear?"
Cheng Biao waved his arms excitedly, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Cheng Lineage! To break free from the control of the Jade Spring Sect, establish our own sect, and occupy East Mountain Commandery, and even the entire Qing Province! With the support of the Transformation Sect, and that treasure... in the future, our Cheng Lineage may very well become a major sect like the Jade Spring Sect!"
"But this is... like asking a tiger for its skin!"
Cheng Yu was heartbroken and wanted to say something more, but Cheng Yin glared at him fiercely and said angrily, "How dare you disrespect the envoy?"
Cheng Yu was struck as if by lightning, flying backward and crashing into a pillar. He coughed up mouthfuls of blood, staring incredulously at the patriarch who had descended into madness, and wailed:
"Patriarch, patriarch, I know you harbor resentment over what happened to Yulang... but you shouldn't have staked the entire Lineage on this!"
"Have you ever considered how the disciples of the East Mountain Cheng Lineage Clan will conduct themselves in the future?"
"Shut up!"
When Cheng Yulang mentioned his son, Cheng Yin, a deep-seated hatred and madness flashed in his eyes.
The black-robed man's eerie green eyes flickered, and he said in a hoarse voice, "As for Young Master Cheng's matter, my sect has its own ingenious methods."
"As long as the Cheng Lineage helps my sect achieve its goals, not only will your son's injuries be healed, but it's not impossible for him to even advance further and condense his Golden Core."
Upon hearing this, many of the elders of the Cheng Lineage in the hall began to breathe rapidly.
