Betrayal, Two Changes in the State of Heaven and Earth

"Master, True Person Taiyi has betrayed the Heavenly Court along with other sects. The Taiyi Sect has been completely abandoned by the Heavenly Court." As soon as True Person Taiyi stepped into the Taiyi Temple, True Person Taiyi two disciples rushed up to him, saying anxiously.

"Oh, I understand. You all go and heal your wounds first. Let me know if there's any news," the True Person Taishang voice.

"Yes, Master."

"Yes."

True Person Taiyi's two disciples respectfully responded and then withdrew.

Looking at the Taiyi Temple in the distance, a cold smile appeared on his face. Then he quickly flew towards the depths of the Taiyi Temple.

Inside the Taiyi Temple, a woman in white was sitting upright on a futon, cultivating. Suddenly, she opened her eyes, a look of solemnity flashing in them.

Between her brows, a small, exquisite jade butterfly trembled incessantly, emitting a buzzing sound, as if it were carrying some important news.

"What is it?" the woman in white asked, looking at Yu Die.

"Reporting to the fairy, the True Person Taishang has led his men to attack us," Little Jade Butterfly said.

"The True Person Taishang actually came in person? Wasn't he in seclusion healing his injuries?" the woman in white asked in surprise. The True Person Taishang had been in seclusion for a long time and only emerged once every few years.

"Yes, I heard that a Taiyi avatar came to ambush us, not only defeating all our disciples but also killing Golden Core Stage expert and razing our Taiyi Temple to the ground," Xiaoyudie said.

"Such a thing actually happened? Wasn't the True Person Taishang in seclusion all along? How did he emerge from the Taiyi Secret Realm?" the woman in white asked, frowning.

"I don't know, but the True Person Taishang has already emerged from seclusion and has dispatched experts to besiege our Taiyi Sect. I think the True Person Taishang must have sensed something was wrong with our Taiyi Temple, so he came out of seclusion," Xiaoyudie explained.

"The True Person Taishang has emerged from seclusion. This is a huge problem. Our Taiyi Temple is no match for the Heavenly Court. It seems we have no choice but to summon all our ancestors to discuss a major plan," the woman in white said, frowning.

"Yes, Master is right. We must gather our ancestors as soon as possible and work together to resist the Heavenly Court, otherwise our Taiyi Temple will be in danger."

"Alright, I understand. I'll go and gather all the ancestors here immediately so they can discuss a plan." With that, the woman in white quickly flew outside.

Soon, the woman in white arrived at the top of a mountain in the center of Taiyi Temple.

This is the most sacred and solemn place in the entire Taiyi Temple, and it is also the residence of True Person Taiyi. Normally, no one can climb this mountain because there is a formation here.

The woman in white entered the formation with practiced ease and then arrived at a secret chamber. Upon entering, she saw the True Person Taishang meditating with his eyes closed. She immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Senior Brother."

The True Person Taishang opened his eyes and looked at the stunningly beautiful woman before him, his eyes filled with delight.

"Junior sister, you've finally come back to see your senior brother again," said the True Person Taishang with satisfaction.

Fairy Zixia frowned. "Is the current turmoil at the Taiyi Sect because of that Tieguai Li that Immortal Lord brought back?"

"Yes, junior sister, how did you know?" the True Person Taishang asked in surprise.

Zixia sighed, "Such a big matter, and Senior Brother didn't leak a single word about it. He's really neglecting his duty."

"Alas!" The True Person Taishang gave a bitter smile. "Junior Sister, this matter is indeed not my fault. When I arranged for Tieguai Li to join the sect, I did not expect his cultivation speed to be so fast, and he is so arrogant and conceited, completely disregarding other sects. Now that he is Golden Immortal Stage cultivator, we are completely helpless against him. We can only endure it for now and punish him properly once I find evidence of his wrongdoing."

After hearing the explanation from the True Person Taishang, Fairy Zixia felt a little better. She also believed that the True Person Taishang was definitely not such a person without any sense of propriety.

The True Person Taishang continued, "By the way, Junior Sister, why did you suddenly come to see me? Has something happened?"

Zixia sighed, "Senior brother, have you seen the Immortal Lord and his disciple during this time?"

The True Person Taishang shook his head. "No, I've been in seclusion all this time and have no idea what's going on outside. How could I know?"

"Senior brother, if you really don't know, then what about Master? Has Master ever come to the Heavenly Pole Palace?" Zixia asked tentatively.

The True Person Taishang was taken aback. "Junior Sister, why did you suddenly bring up Master? Master has been in seclusion recently, how could I possibly have seen him?"

"Senior brother, you mustn't be lying to me," Fairy Zixia said. "Master's cultivation has already reached the Golden Immortal Stage Great Perfection. It's impossible for him to stay in seclusion forever. Moreover, before he went into seclusion, Master instructed me that if I encountered any difficulties, I could seek your help. He also told me not to worry about retaliation from the Immortal and Demon races, so my safety is not in question. That's why I dared to risk coming to the Heavenly Pole Palace to ask you for help. I hope you can help me."

"Junior sister, Master has already entrusted me with this matter, but I don't know exactly what it is, so I can't make any promises to you. But don't worry, I will do my best to help you as long as it's within my power. Just tell me what's on your mind."

Fairy Zixia nodded, then explained the main reason for her visit to the Heavenly Pole Palace. After listening, True Person Taishang frowned. "Junior Sister, did Master really give such an instruction?"

Fairy Zixia nodded. "That's really what Master instructed. I've also heard that Immortal Lord's disciple, Tieguai Li, has already broken through to the Golden Immortal Stage Great Perfection realm. This person is no simpleton."

"Hmph, a mere Golden Immortal Stage ant dares to challenge me." The True Person Taishang said with a sneer, "Junior Sister, leave this to me."

"Okay, senior brother."

"Junior sister, Master asked me to take care of you, but I also need to go into seclusion for a while, so you can stay here with me during this time. Anyway, I have plenty of rooms."

After thinking about it, Fairy Zixia finally agreed.

The True Person Taishang then ordered people to arrange accommodations for Fairy Zixia, while he himself sat cross-legged in a secret room to cultivate.

"Hoo." After about half an incense stick's time, the True Person Taishang exhaled a breath of turbid air.

He opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them.

"Since you're so arrogant, then I'll see who wins in the end," the True Person Taishang muttered to himself.

Then the True Person Taishang regained his composure, as if nothing had happened.
