Chapter 176: Final Decision
Make a decision directly? Ziyun Zhenren didn't dare to do this. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info is the enemy of the Three Holy Palaces, this matter is so huge, even Ziyun Zhenren finds it very tricky to write. Because he knows that the key to making a decision is not at the moment of making a decision, but that you have to bear the consequences of making a decision.
"If I agree to pursue this time, then if the struggle with the Three Holy Palaces fails, won't I have to bear the corresponding responsibility. If it's a general responsibility, it's okay to say, but with the strength of the Three Holy Palaces, they are very likely to destroy our sect. At that time, I am afraid that I will become a sinner of the Armored Beast Sect. "As the head of the Armored Beast Sect, Ziyun Zhenren naturally has a deep affection for the Armored Beast Sect, and he is absolutely unwilling to cause the sect to be destroyed because of one of his decisions.
"So...... Just give up like this?" This seems to be the best choice and the safest, but as the elder who proposed to fight to the end said, if you don't fight, there is no such rule in the Armored Beast Sect.
"If I just retreat, I'm afraid that I will become the least daring guy in the history of the Armored Beast Sect!" Ziyun Zhenren had a bitter face, but he understood that if he really decided to retreat, then he would be able to wear the most "timid" hat.
"It's hard to decide. Ziyun Zhenren shook his head lightly, raised his eyes and looked at the sky of the main hall, although there was nothing there, but Ziyun Zhenren could see it slowly. It's clear he's thinking about things, but sometimes it's not so easy to decide. After pondering like this for a long time, Ziyun Zhenren still didn't make up his mind. He felt he needed more time to figure it out.
"Well, it's a really hard thing to decide. I think that's it for the time being! Everyone go back and think about it, I need to think about it too!" He intends to dismiss the meeting - as a powerful head, he has that right.
At that moment, he was about to leave this hall with a wave of his sleeves, but just as he was about to walk out of the hall, the elder who had suggested that the matter be pursued stopped by the elder who had suggested that the matter should be investigated: "Master, I know that this decision is not easy to make." I can understand that you need time to think about it, but there is not much time left for us, sir. If we don't intercept them at sea, we're afraid we'll really have to confront the Three Holy Palaces. I hope the head of the company will think about this. ā
"I understand!" Ziyun Zhenren nodded heavily, and then left lightly.
When the head of the house was gone, everyone dispersed, and soon the hall was empty. Although after they left, they also discussed things about the "Pure Yang Dao Sutra" in twos and threes, but they would never stay in the Overlord Palace for too long. For them, the Overlord Hall is for discussion. Private things can be said in private, and they will never occupy public weapons - most of the cultivators of the Armored Beast Sect are so clear-eyed and a little dull.
How everyone discussed the matter of the "Pure Yang Dao Sutra", and how they would talk about themselves, who seemed a little hesitant in the discussion, Ziyun Zhenren didn't know at all. After coming out of the Overlord Palace, he did not return to the residence of the head of the sect and meditate on the things in front of him alone, but stepped to a cave on the back mountainside of the Beast King Peak and took out the token of the master.
It was a hexagonal token, the whole was blue-gold, the material was neither gold nor jade, and a hideous dragon head was carved on it. Ziyun Zhenren threw the token high in front of the cave, and then drew a talisman in the air and recited the cave mantra. The huge token suddenly spun in the void, casting cyan light. These rays of light intertwined in the void and then intertwined into a cyan gate of light.
Ziyun Zhenren straightened his clothes in front of the light gate, and then stepped into the light gate.
Inside the Gate of Light is another world - this already exists in the belly of the mountain, and the head is full of strangely shaped stalactites, surrounded by hard, cold stone walls.
Ziyun Zhenren shuttled between the stone paths in the mountainside, and soon came to a stone cave that seemed to have been repaired.
Here he did not step directly inside, but bowed solemnly and shouted to the stone cave: "Master, Ziyun asks to see!"
"Ziyun, didn't I say that I was meditating and cultivating here, don't you come and disturb me if you're fine?" Ziyun's voice echoed in this cave for a while, and an old and calm voice suddenly sounded in the dark stone cave. This voice belongs to the master of Ziyun Zhenren, the head of the previous generation of the Armored Beast Sect, Feixiong Zhenren.
"Master, there is a major event that has happened right now that is related to the safety of the sect. It is difficult for the disciples to make a decision, and I would like to hear your opinion, Master. Ziyun Zhenren bent down and said very respectfully.
"Oh, it's important for you to make a decision on a major matter related to the safety of the sect? I haven't heard such words for nearly a hundred years. Flying Bear said with a little nostalgia. He knew Ziyun Zhenren's personality, and knew that if he didn't really want his own guidance, he would never have come here. After all, he is now the head of the Armored Beast Sect, not himself, an old man who has retired and just wants to retreat and cultivate.
"What is it that makes you so embarrassed?" Feixiong Zhenren's tone was slightly raised, he first asked such a question, and then as if he had thought of something, he clapped his hands gently: "Well, you just said this matter outside and things are not good after all." Come in and talk to me about it. As soon as the words fell, the stone cave in front of Ziyun Zhenren lit up. A warm yellow light shines through the cave, illuminating a path that leads to the depths of the cave.
Ziyun Zhenren stepped on it, walked along the winding path for a while, and finally reached the depths of the stone cave, and saw the gray-robed Taoist sitting on a stone cloud platform.
The man's hair was as white as snow, and his eyebrows were raised like wings, and he hung down behind his sideburns. His complexion is ruddy, his facial features are distinct, and although he is a little old, he implies an incomparably lively vitality. The tall skeleton made his figure full of a sense of strength, and the originally wide Dao robe on his body looked so close and unobtrusive.
"Master!" Seeing this familiar figure, Ziyun Zhenren said softly, and then bowed down respectfully and bowed in front of the cloud platform.
"Ziyun, we haven't seen each other in more than thirty years. The flying bear on the leisurely gimbal opened his mouth.
"It's thirty-three years, nine months, and eight days, Master!" Ziyun Zhenren accurately reported the time of the two differences, and he had been thinking about this time.
"You remember it so clearly!" said Flying Bear with a faint laugh.
"I have kept Master's voice and appearance in mind, and if it weren't for the fact that I need to sit outside as the head of the sect, I would really like to practice and retreat here like Master. Ziyun Zhenren smiled and agreed.
"Do you want to come here to enjoy Qingfu?hehe, let's wait a little longer!" Feixiong Zhenren shook his head with a smile, and then asked Ziyun Zhenren about his business: "Talk to me well, what trouble are you in?"
"Actually, it's like this......" Ziyun Zhenren froze down, and then told the whole thing about the "Pure Yang Dao Sutra" to Feixiong Zhenren, and at the same time talked about the various difficult choices he was encountering at the moment: "The key is the Three Holy Palaces. Although the "Pure Yang Dao Sutra" is very important, if the "Pure Yang Dao Sutra" and the Three Holy Palaces are opposed, we Armored Beast Sect are afraid that we will not be able to see the situation next year. The Three Holy Palaces are much stronger than us. ā
"Hmm...... You're right. Hearing Ziyun Zhenren say this, the people of Flying Bear Town lightly recognized Ziyun Zhenren's idea, and after thinking for a while, he asked Ziyun Zhenren in a low voice: "You want to give up, but the other elders in the sect think that you can't give up, right?"
"That's true!" Ziyun Zhenren recognized Flying Bear's induction.
"The Pure Yang Tao Sutra...... That's a good thing. The exercises that can be cultivated directly to the immortal realm or above, even our Armored Beast Sect does not have a book. When I heard that this book was so close to us, even I was a little moved. Although I have already cultivated to the realm of transforming into spirits, it is impossible to change to other exercises, but if I have a copy of the Pure Yang Dao Sutra in my hand for reference, I am afraid that my next cultivation will become much easier. Flying Bear said leisurely.
"However, the Three Holy Palaces ......" Ziyun Zhenren mentioned the behemoth that stood between himself and the Pure Yang Dao Sutra. In his opinion, the "Pure Yang Dao Sutra" does have thousands of benefits, but as long as the Three Holy Palaces are not ruled out, then no matter how much he tries to do, he will bring monstrous disasters to himself.
"If you don't have strength, you shouldn't ask for good things!" Ziyun Zhenren thought.
"Three Holy Palaces ......" Speaking of the top sect in this continent, Feixiong Zhenren's brows furrowed slightly. Although he was already a Spiritual Transformation Realm cultivator, he was still a little nervous when he talked about the Three Holy Palaces. He groaned for a moment before he raised his head. At this moment, he stared at his apprentice closely. He asked him, "If, excluding the power of the Three Holy Palaces, do you have the courage to continue to snatch the Pure Yang Dao Sutra?"
"If you don't have the power of the Three Holy Palaces, I won't be afraid of anyone coming!" Ziyun Zhenren said loudly. It was indeed the desire of his heart, but it was ...... There are no ifs. At present, it is a fact that the Three Holy Palaces are involved in it, and it seems to be a bit too much to talk about what if it is "not" at this time. After all, that might just exist in fantasy.
"In that case...... Then let's do what we can. Flying Bear patted his chest boldly. In an instant, he threw aside the original hermit master's demeanor, and took out the ruffian pride unique to the Armored Beast Sect. That's who he really is. Originally, the Armored Beast Sect is a group of people who pursue fighting, and they pay attention to the bloodiness of their fists to the flesh, as for the immortal atmosphere, it really doesn't match their roots.
"Ah...... Master, how did you make such a decision...... The existence of the Three Holy Palaces is not something that can be ruled out. Their power is really there. Ziyun Zhenren couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.
"Don't worry!" Regarding the nervousness of his apprentice, Feixiong Zhenren didn't care about it. At that moment, he waved his hand lightly and chuckled in a low voice: "Don't be frightened by the signboard of the Three Holy Palace! I admit that the Three Holy Palace is very powerful and terrifying. However, what we have to do is not necessarily the same as the Three Holy Palaces. ā
"Master, do you also think that the plan that the Qi Induction Realm disciple said is very feasible?" Ziyun Zhenren heard his master say this, and suddenly understood whose opinion his master agreed with. It's just that this method is really feasible? Won't this be a bit risky? In this regard, Ziyun Zhenren is naturally still a little worried.
"Whether it is feasible or not, you have to confirm a few things...... Feixiong Zhenren calmly stretched out two fingers: "First, whether Mingxuan Zhenren's involvement in this matter was at the right time or premeditated, and second, whether Mingxuan Zhenren has already contacted his own sect." As long as you can determine the outcome of these two questions, then you will understand whether it is appropriate to deal with the fleet that Ming Xuan Zhenren is in. ā
"This ......" Ziyun Zhenren was a little confused for a while, he didn't figure out what these two questions had to do with whether he could snatch the fleet.
"It's very simple!" Looking at Ziyun Zhenren's diffuse appearance, Feixiong Zhenren smiled and began to explain: "If Mingxuan Zhenren had already planned to meddle in this matter and had already contacted the sect where he was located, then our interference in the Pure Yang Dao Sutra would inevitably lead to a dispute with the Three Holy Palaces, and even let the Three Holy Palaces destroy us." However, if Mingxuan Zhenren just happened to meet and did not contact his own sect. What that Mingxuan real person can represent right now is himself. He's a lonely pawn. As long as we try hard, we can eat it perfectly. ā
"So that's ......" Hearing Feixiong Zhenren say this, Ziyun Zhenren immediately understood the key, and at the same time, he also understood why Feixiong Zhenren thought that the Pure Yang Dao Sutra could still be contested: "Master, do you think that Mingxuan Zhenren's intervention in this matter was just an accident, and he has not been in contact with his own sect at all now, right?"
"Isn't that so?" Flying Bear Zhenren laughed: "Think about it carefully:" Mingxuan Zhenren's conversation with He Xuan. In particular, Ho Yan asked why he appeared in the fleet, and he answered. This question was asked by He Yan suddenly, and he answered it quickly. I guess he's not lying. If this is the case, then everything he does must be done occasionally, out of personal reaction. This is a great opportunity for us!"
"I see!" Ziyun Zhenren nodded when he heard this, and at this moment he finally figured out the reason for his master's persistence: it was very simple, Mingxuan Zhenren's fleet was attacked by a kraken at sea and deviated from the direction, and they themselves couldn't imagine where they would drift to. Therefore, it became an accident that they met the Four Seas Dart Bureau and then intervened in the "Pure Yang Dao Sutra". And after this accident, because they had to take a boat to Luogang in the south, and the place where the Four Seas Dart Bureau was located was the sphere of influence of our Armored Beast Sect, they had to go south by sea non-stop, so he would definitely not have the time to contact his own sect. From this, the sect must not have known the fact that he had returned from Leiyin Island.
In other words, Mingxuan Zhenren is alone...... He was out of the fleet, but there were no more people from the Three Holy Palaces. After thinking about it, Ziyun Zhenren confirmed this. So, his eyes lit up all of a sudden: "Hehe, this is indeed an opportunity for us. Master, I know it's time for me to do this. I will mobilize the most powerful forces of the sect to rob and kill them. ā
"Hehe! this is good!" Flying Bear Zhenren laughed happily, looking at Ziyun Zhenren's eyes full of relief. He gently patted Ziyun Zhenren's arm and whispered, "You can do this boldly." I'll go out of the mountains and be your back. He assured in a deep voice.
"That would be great. Hearing his master's decision to make a move, Ziyun Zhenren's confidence suddenly became much more sufficient. (To be continued.) )
