Chapter 698: Covenant
The Battle of the Ethereal Pavilion more than a hundred years ago was one of the biggest laughing stocks of the righteous path and the Demon Sect.
The laughing stock of the righteous path is Xuantian Sect, as the leader of the righteous path, and the close neighbor of the Ethereal Pavilion, after receiving the ethereal pavilion's request for help, he actually stood still, watched from the wall, and did not arrive until the end of the war, until now the righteous path factions are still very dissatisfied with this matter.
The laughing stock of the Demon Sect was that when he retreated in the late stage of the battle, Tuoba Yu saw that a large number of reinforcements from the righteous path were coming one after another, so he ordered to retreat to the wilderness, but his orders were only passed on to the sects of the Demon Sect, and those ghost sects did not know, so when most of the disciples of the Demon Sect were about dozens of miles away from the Ethereal Pavilion, those disciples of the Ghost Sect felt bad, and they were besieged by the disciples of the Righteous Path, and suffered heavy casualties.
Now that Old Man Morin was talking about the battle in public, the chatter in the hall immediately stopped.
Tuoba Yu snorted: "Sect Master Mo, what do you mean by this? As the head of the Holy Sect, do I intend to harm my fellow sects? I explained this matter more than a hundred years ago, at that time, there was chaos around the Ethereal Peak, and I sent a number of disciples to inform everyone to retreat, but your Ghost Sect was too far away to hear the order to retreat, how could this matter be blamed on my head? Not to mention that more than a hundred years have passed since this matter, and now the crisis in front of us is the top priority, so there is no need to mention the past. โ
Old Man Mo Lin closed his eyes and said, "Our Blood Soul Sect opposes a sneak attack on the Xuantian Sect, so you can discuss the rest yourself." โ
It is useless for one sect to oppose it, as long as three of the five major factions agree to attack Xuantian Sect, then the matter will be settled.
The Yin Spirit Sect, which is also a ghost sect, naturally advances and retreats with the Blood Soul Sect, and the Ghost Sword Demon Monarch nodded and said, "I don't agree either." โ
Tuoba Yu looked at the Yimiao Fairy of the Hehuan Sect and Chen Xuanjia of the Shura Sect, as long as these two advanced and retreated with him, his goal could be achieved.
But these two old foxes just didn't say anything, and Fairy Yimiao directly ignored Tuoba Yu's eyes and turned her head to look at the two envoys on the left and right.
said: "Second envoy, this time the righteous path is aimed at the temple, I don't know how the temple defense is now?"
Changkong smiled and said: "The Five Elements Banner has all returned to the temple recently, and I have also passed on the news of some scattered cultivators, it will come in these two days, the defense of the temple is still relatively strong, and it is not easy for the righteous path to take down the temple." โ
Yimiao Fairy nodded and said: "The temple is the origin of the Holy Sect, and the immortal holy flame is in the Xuanhuo Altar, the Heavenly Demon Patriarch Yuhua Immortal once said before his death that as long as the holy flame is not extinguished, our Holy Sect will not perish, so no matter what variables and crises arise, protecting the holy flame is the top priority." โ
Tuoba Yu said: "Lady Yimiao, don't worry, I won't wait until the righteous path attacks the temple to make a move against the Xuantian Sect, and there will be no problems with the temple and the holy fire." โ
This is the truth, if the righteous army attacks the temple, it means that the outer Black Stone Mountain has been broken, and that is where the main altar of the Heavenly Demon Gate is located, the reason why Tuoba Yu wants to promote the Eastern Crusade is that he is worried that the war will be led to the Black Stone Mountain, so that the Heavenly Demon Gate will suffer heavy losses, which is very bad.
Which of the people present is not an old fox, how can they not know Tuoba Yu's wishful thinking, the power of the Ghost Sect does not matter, they are not in the core circle of the temple, even if the Holy Sect attacks the temple, it will be impossible to withdraw to the main gate when the situation is not good, but the Heavenly Demon Gate is different, the Heavenly Demon Gate is on the Black Stone Mountain more than ten miles away, and the main battlefield will definitely be placed in the Black Stone Mountain, so it is impossible for the Heavenly Demon Gate not to want to kill and injure more than half of them.
This is a great opportunity to greatly weaken the Heavenly Demon Sect, so the old man Mo Lin of the Ghost Sect and the Ghost Sword Demon Monarch are both strongly opposed to the Eastern Crusade. He advocates striking at the enemy who is coming on the right path.
Fairy Yimiao glanced at Chen Xuanjia, who had not spoken, and said, "Sect Master Xuanjia, do you think we should stick to the Guardian Sect in the Temple, or should we take the initiative to attack?"
Chen Xuanjia smiled and said: "Of course it is to take the initiative to attack, what the Tuoba Sect Master just said is very right, once the Xuantian Sect is attacked, Qiankun Zi will definitely retreat as soon as possible, the art of war is cloudy, encircling Wei to save Zhao, attacking it will be saved, this is the weakness of Xuantian Sect." Our Holy Sect has been wanting to develop in the splendid and prosperous Middle Earth for thousands of years, but what stands in our way is the Xuantian Sect and the Ethereal Pavilion, if most of the elites of these two sects leave this sect, we are very likely to hit them hard, so I am more in favor of the Tuoba Sect Master's words, even if we can't destroy the Xuantian Sect, it is good to hit it hard, as long as the Xuantian Sect's power is greatly damaged, I think the old fox of the Cangyun Gate Jade Machine was helped us clean up the Xuantian Sect. โ
Speaking of this, his tone suddenly became a little hoarse, and said: "Don't forget, Sect Master Tuoba is still the head of our Holy Sect, and the patriarchs of each faction made a covenant back then, if the righteous path comes, this person in charge can exercise the power of the sect leader." โ
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately looked at each other, and the old man Mo Lin, who was still closing his eyes just now and was about not to speak, also suddenly opened his eyes.
The old man said, "Why hasn't the old man heard of it?"
Not only was the old man Mo Lin puzzled, but even Tuoba Yu was stunned, it seemed that he didn't know that in wartime, the principal could exercise the power of the sect leader, if it was true, this would be a bull's fork, and he could order all the holy sects in wartime, including the ghost sect, unless the ghost sect felt that they did not belong to the holy sect and wanted to break away from the holy sect.
Chen Xuanjia saw that everyone cast suspicious eyes, so he said to the second envoy: "Second envoy, I don't know if there is this in the covenant signed by the patriarchs of each faction at the beginning?"
The two envoys glanced at each other, and after a while, Huangfu spoke: "This covenant does exist, and it is kept in the Xuanhuo Altar, but none of us have opened it for so many years, so I don't know if there is this covenant in it." โ
Tuoba Yu stood up directly and said loudly: "Since this is the case, let's go to the Xuanhuo Altar together to take out the original covenant, and we will know at a glance." โ
There is no other way, if there is really this covenant, it is now a wartime state, Tuoba Yu will exercise the power of the sect leader, the matter is serious, and it must be cautious.
The Huangfu mechanism was opened, and the staircase leading to the Xuanhuo Altar slowly appeared, and everyone walked in, whispering about whether this was true or not.
Tuoba Yu whispered to Chen Xuanjia: "Brother Chen, where did you hear this? Why don't you know that there is such a covenant?"
Chen Xuanjia said in a low voice: "I also recently saw in an ancient book in the door, after the death of the Yin Sect Master of the Yue Clan, the Holy Sect was divided, in order to prevent the righteous path from taking advantage of the opportunity, so the heads of the Holy Sect factions secretly signed a covenant, I just said it casually, I didn't expect that the original manuscript of the covenant of the year was really preserved in the temple, the covenant is true, and the principal can exercise all the powers of the sect leader in wartime, this should also be true, wait, we will see you soon." โ
