Chapter 64: The Reaction of the Yao Guang Holy Land and Subsequent Plans
Inside the Yaoguang Hall, you could hear a pin drop.
The sage was enraged, and although he did not intentionally target the crowd, the powerful beings present still felt their hearts pound and a chill run down their spines.
At this moment, all the remaining powerful members of the Ruthless Man's lineage had gathered in the main hall, including the two Saints and many other great powers.
"Now it seems that Purple Mountain was a carefully orchestrated scheme against us, which is why the Holy Lord and the others never returned."
"The key question is: who is the enemy? Who knows so much about us?"
The Sixth Elder of Yaoguang spoke with a complicated expression: "I have a guess that this matter may be related to a chess piece."
"Chess pieces?" a sage asked, frowning.
"Hua Yunfei! This demonic fetus prepared for the Holy Son has escaped control and orchestrated all of this!"
Liu Taishang didn't try to be mysterious; he directly stated his conjecture.
"Isn't this person dead? He died along with Fang Yuan and the others in the demon race's magic array."
"A powerful being asked in confusion."
"He is not dead." The Sixth Elder shook his head. He had been in charge of guarding the Northern Region for many years. When the Holy Lord of Yaoguang, Li Daoqing, and others entered Zishan, he was also responsible for staying behind, so he was spared from disaster.
His men recently received news that Hua Yunfei, who was supposed to be dead, had appeared among the demons and even defeated the Golden-Winged Roc King in public!
Even though the demon race had blocked news of the battle, and only some demons in the Azure Dragon King's small world knew about it, Sixth Elder had been operating in the Northern Region for many years and had his own intelligence network, so he still learned about the matter through secret channels.
This matter immediately caught his attention, and he promptly investigated the various aspects of his trip to the Northern Region, discovering a crucial piece of information.
That is, the news about Zishan came out right after Hua Yunfei and the others died.
Combined with the information that Hua Yunfei has now appeared among the demons, the truth of the matter is gradually coming to light.
After all, there aren't many people in the world who know them so well, and Hua Yunfei is definitely one of them!
After sharing his conjectures, Liu Taishang sighed deeply: "Who could have imagined that a fourth-level chess piece would escape control and commit such a grave act?"
"This child must possess a shocking secret unknown to us!"
In fact, Liu Taishang really wanted to say that he suspected Hua Yunfei had obtained the Devouring Demon Jar, otherwise how could he have escaped their control?
However, since this conjecture had no basis, he did not bring it up.
A powerful figure spoke, his voice icy cold: "If it really is this wretched creature, then everything makes sense."
Another powerful figure said impatiently, "Let's put this little beast aside for now; the key is to retrieve the Emperor's Cauldron!"
"I believe the Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Cauldron is very likely still in Purple Mountain; we need to make another trip there!"
Liu Taishang said coldly, "Are we going to our deaths? Even Ancestor Jiang Mian, wielding the Emperor Cauldron, was trapped there. We have no Emperor Weapons now; going there will only lead to our demise!"
"Besides, whether the Imperial Cauldron is still in Zishan is another matter entirely."
"Then what do you suggest we do? Are we just going to stand by and do nothing?!" a powerful being roared angrily.
"No matter what, the Imperial Cauldron must not be lost!"
"That's right, no matter the cost, we must retrieve the Imperial Cauldron!"
The main hall was noisy and chaotic. Many powerful figures agreed that action had to be taken, as the importance of the imperial weapon was self-evident.
The reason why the immortal legacy is immortal is precisely because it possesses an imperial weapon.
The saint who spoke first was named Ji Yang. He said, "Even if Hua Yunfei set up the scheme to lure Jiang Mian and his group into Purple Mountain, that's the most that could happen."
He expressed his opinion that Hua Yunfei's cultivation level was low, and he must have accidentally learned that Zishan was a dangerous place, so he set a trap to lure Jiang Mian, Li Daoqing and others in, taking the opportunity to take revenge.
He believed that even if Jiang Mian and the others died, the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron could not be controlled by anyone else, let alone fall into Hua Yunfei's hands.
"After all, the Imperial Cauldron was born in Yao Guang and has been refined by us for tens of thousands of years. It has long recognized us, so I believe it will not fall into the hands of others."
"No one in the world can suppress an imperial weapon, not even if the other side has one. So I think there is a high probability that the imperial cauldron is still in Purple Mountain, but it is blocked by the magic array there, and we cannot recall it."
Ji Yang's meaning was not hard to understand; he preferred to go to Zishan again, perhaps he could retrieve the Imperial Cauldron.
A group of people couldn't help but nod in agreement; they also tended to agree with this view.
If someone really killed Jiang Mian and the others and took possession of the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, then they must have had a death wish.
Do they really think the Emperor's Weapons and Gods are fools? That just anyone can gain their approval?
Just then, another sage who had remained silent spoke up: "Spread the news about Purple Mountain!"
"What?"
"Ancestor, what does this mean?"
A group of people were puzzled, not understanding what their ancestor meant by this.
Another sage, Cangpan, spoke quietly: "Spread the news that Purple Mountain is the Daoist temple of the Great Emperor Wushi to other holy lands, especially ancient families like the Ji family and the Jiang family, and use them to investigate the truth of Purple Mountain."
The group suddenly realized that they were going to use the holy sites to share the risks.
However, this method still made some people frown.
Regardless of whether the various claims about Zishan are true or false, their Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron did indeed encounter trouble in Zishan. As Ancestor Jiyang said, what if it is still inside now?
Moreover, with all the holy lands attacking Zishan together, yet the Yaoguang Holy Land did not arrive with its supreme imperial weapon, how could the various forces not be suspicious?
If all the holy lands unite and truly breach Purple Mountain, will the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron still be able to return to their hands smoothly?
"I know what you're worried about. It's nothing more than the consequences of our loss of the Imperial Weapon being exposed, and how we can successfully retrieve the Imperial Cauldron after the Holy Lands break through Purple Mountain."
"Rest assured, as long as we can breach Purple Mountain, we will naturally be able to recall the Imperial Weapon. After all, we are the ones recognized by the Imperial Cauldron!"
Cangpan spoke with great confidence, reassuring all the powerful figures present.
After finalizing the matter, the Yao Guang Holy Land began to operate around the news of Zishan.
The Azure Dragon King's Little World.
Hua Yunfei has emerged from seclusion. In the past month, besides cultivating the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, he has been studying the Origin Heaven Book.
After all, in Hua Yunfei's subsequent thoughts, the Origin Book played a very important role for him.
The first thing to do is naturally to use Origin Technique to investigate the state of the celestial placenta.
Secondly, Yaochi has recently been recruiting a large number of people with profound Origin Techniques in order to nurture the Stone King in their hands.
Among these stone kings, there is one stone that Hua Yunfei dreams of having: inside is a fragrant egg.
That egg was something Hua Yunfei was determined to get.
This was part of his purpose when he entered Zishan to study the Heavenly Book of Origin.
Therefore, Hua Yunfei will inevitably have to make a trip to Yaochi next.
In his spare time these days, he has never given up studying the Origin Book. As for whether studying the Origin Book will bring him the curse of the underworld?
What a joke! Hua Yunfei is the inheritor of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art. Even if the Underworld doesn't come looking for him, he plans to take the initiative to visit the vast Netherworld.
