Chapter 461 - 294: Wei Wuya Becomes a Land Immortal (Part 4)
Kou Baimen smiled and said, "The Sect Leader is literate and brave, wise and virtuous, and will surely unite the Martial World!"
The senior members quickly echoed:
"The Sect Leader is literate and brave, unite the Martial World!"
Ye Zhaonan, seated high at the head, gently waved his hand and said, "Be seated, let us now discuss the upcoming matters. Beidou Bang will undoubtedly start expanding from Lu Yuan Dao towards Yunxi. At present, it is not suitable for us to conflict with Beidou Bang. We should start occupying territories from Jingnan Dao and join forces with Gu Zhan to attack Sword King City. Once Sword King City is destroyed, the remaining Beidou Bang will not be worth worrying about!"
Ghost Hand said, "Sect Leader, I’m afraid Gu Zhan might not be willing to cooperate with us."
Ye Zhaonan sneered, "Does he have a choice? If he doesn’t cooperate with us, Sword King City won’t spare him. He really has no other option!"
After a round of discussion,
A plan was finally formulated,
The high-ranking members of the Moon Worship Holy Sect all left to start preparations.
Not long after,
Ye Zhaonan was alone in the great hall.
In the empty great hall, a hoarse voice suddenly rang out, "That girl Kou Baimen, her motives aren’t simple!"
With the voice,
An elderly woman, slightly hunched, appeared in the hall, leaning on a staff.
Ye Zhaonan slowly rose, bowed to the old woman, and said, "Disciple greets Ancestor."
This old woman was Red Flower Granny, renowned as the Demon Dao Ancestor, a Land Immortal in the Grotto Heaven Realm, even older than the Elder Celestial Master.
After Ye Zhaonan paid his respects, he immediately helped Red Flower Granny to a seat, saying, "Ancestor, this Kou Baimen, although a woman, is ambitious and proud, always aspiring to reach the Grotto Heaven Realm. But she lacks the Grotto Heaven Technique, so she decisively joined our Holy Sect. Firstly, she knows the situation well, and secondly, she covets the Grotto Heaven Technique.
However, she now realizes that achieving the Grotto Heaven not only requires the Grotto Heaven Technique but also the Immortal Fate, and she lacks it, so she cannot achieve the Grotto Heaven. But now with the appearance of Gu Zhan, she sees another hope.
She deliberately guided me not to deal with Gu Zhan because she values his strength, thinking this young man might open up another path to the Grotto Heaven Technique."
Red Flower Granny nodded, saying, "Even I was shocked when I saw this information. This young man indeed has the aura of a Martial Ancestor and Martial Saint, mainly because he’s still young, only in his twenties. His peak years will last at least another fifty years; he might really find another path."
After speaking, Red Flower Granny sighed, "Zhaonan, you know, the heavens and earth have changed; it has been sixty years since a new Grotto Heaven Cultivator emerged. All major forces are seeking new Magic Techniques. Our Holy Sect must find a way too!"
Ye Zhaonan nodded, saying, "I understand, that’s why I have been dedicated to the plan of unifying the Ten Thousand Mountains for decades. Now, the opportunity to unify Yunxi is approaching. Once we integrate the power of the entire Yunxi, there’s more hope to forge a new path."
Red Flower Granny patted Ye Zhaonan’s hand, saying, "It’s a pity for you. Had you been born decades earlier, with your talent, you would surely have achieved the Grotto Heaven. Now, you’ve continually worked for the Holy Sect, wasting time, and your peak is about to pass. Even if a new Magic Technique is found, you might..."
"Ancestor," Ye Zhaonan chuckled, "I can, in my generation, create a good environment for the Holy Sect’s descendants, enabling them to seek new Magic Techniques with more resources and energy. That is also a worthy path."
Red Flower Granny nodded, saying, "If there’s an opportunity, we could bring that young man Gu Zhan into our Holy Sect. Although this young man lacks the Immortal Fate, reaching such heights in Martial Arts is rare!"
Ye Zhaonan shook his head and said, "I’m afraid it’s unlikely. I know this young man well; his Martial Arts Will is too strong, his character domineering and arrogant, difficult to subdue."
Red Flower Granny said in a solemn voice, "If he cannot be subdued, then leave no future trouble. Once Sword King City is settled, I will personally kill him."
...
Sword King City.
The Elder Celestial Master sat on the threshold of a cottage, holding a report in his hands, reading it over multiple times before slowly raising his head to gaze at the half-setting sun behind the mountain, remaining silent for a long time, which turned into a long sigh.
A group of Sword King City disciples came to the small courtyard outside the cottage, kneeling on the ground. The leader choked up and said, "Grand Ancestor, Qi Ga Ancestor... Qi Ga Ancestor has returned, severely injured and dying. Please, see him!"
The Elder Celestial Master slightly waved his hand, got up, went into the cottage, and closed the door. After a while, a voice came from the cottage: "No visit, if he can be healed, heal him; if not, when he dies, bury him!"
"Grand Ancestor!"
The disciples of Sword King City cried out in sorrow.
The voice of the Elder Celestial Master came out slowly, "Sword King City, from now on, seal the mountain, do not inquire any further... hmm?"
Before the words were finished, the Elder Celestial Master uttered a light exclamation, suddenly opened the door, and came out, his eyes filled with surprise and shock as he looked towards the gate of Sword King City.
At this moment,
Those Sword King City disciples kneeling on the ground were astonished to feel that the swords in their hands were trembling, as if coming to life, struggling to fly away,
"Buzz buzz buzz" "Buzz buzz buzz"
The dense sound of swords ringing echoed.
The Elder Celestial Master raised his head, a sharp light flashed in his cloudy eyes, and he exclaimed in surprise,
"Succeeded?"
