Chapter 224 Standing on the platform
The majestic mountain is like a sharp sword, piercing into the sky, and more than 300 people of Yi Yunzong standing in front of the mountain gate are like a few grains of dust compared to this huge mountain.
Yi Yunfei squinted his eyes and looked up, only to see birds walking through the mountains, and with his eyesight, he could only barely see the top of the mountain covered in mist. This mountain is at least thousands of meters high, and the surging Golden Scale River is like a jade belt, surrounding Qingyun Mountain, and it seems to be a huge embrace, protecting Qingyun Sect in it, so that there is only one way into the mountain.
Everyone in Yiyun Sect was shocked, they came from Yankong Mountain, although they had also seen the mountain gates of many sects, and they had seen countless peaks along the way, but at this moment, it seemed that those peaks were not comparable to Qingyun Mountain.
Yi Yunfei exhaled lightly and said lightly: "Go up the mountain!"
"Sect Master, aren't we here to worship the mountain? Don't you pay homage?" Fu Chunrong reminded in a low voice.
Yi Yunfei smiled and said, "I'm a closed disciple of Gongsun Xin, if I don't take a little bit, how can I have the momentum of the second ancestor!"
After speaking, he ignored Fu Chunrong, who was a little stunned, and walked up the stone steps towards the mountain, behind Yi Yunzong and Fu Chunrong were different, Yi Yunfei's approach was more in line with their appetite, and excitedly put the mount under the mountain and followed.
The twists and turns of the mountain road, all carved out of the hard rock, are up to two meters wide and square, and the height of each step is exactly the same, extremely precise, in order to keep the mountain road from being too steep, even digging several meters down the mountain wall to form a gentle slope.
Yi Yunfei was a little surprised, this mountain road was about a kilometer long, and everyone went all the way without anyone stopping them. The mountain road is deeply sunken in the rocks, and you can't see the surrounding scenery, so you bury your head all the way and suddenly your eyes light up, and the scenery of towering giant trees and flowers in front of you is refreshing.
The trail becomes gentler, four or five meters wide, and the trail here is no longer carved out of the rocks, but is made of well-groomed boulders. At the bottom of the mountain road, on the huge stone pillar dozens of meters high, the three big characters of Qingyun Sect are written in the same script as the foot of the mountain. It seems that from here, he really entered the Qingyun Sect.
Sure enough, there were eight young people wearing Qingyun Sect's Taoist uniforms under the mountain road looking at Yi Yunzong and his party with solemn expressions, these eight people were male and female, but they were all very young, and their cultivation was all on the first floor of Tongxuan.
"Stop coming, you have already entered the mountain gate of Qingyun Sect, please explain your intention and wait for the transmission!" One of the men drank a little nervously, and stretched out his hand to stop Yi Yunfei and his party.
A young woman behind the man gently tugged at the corner of his clothes, whispered in his ear, the man's face became a little ugly, the outstretched arm suddenly retracted, groaned slightly, and raised his hand again, his handsome face was flushed, he should have known Yi Yunfei's identity, and he didn't know whether to stop or let him go.
"Tell Yuwen Changkong and Yang Yuntao that I'm here!" Yi Yunfei didn't embarrass these people, he said to the man in a calm tone.
The man's face was solemn, and he could hear Yi Yunfei's suppressed anger, but with his identity, he really couldn't make the decision. He smiled apologetically at Yi Yunfei, waved his hand and arranged for the other two Qingyun Sect disciples behind him to go up the mountain to report, his smile was a little stiff, he was very nervous, and he didn't know if it would anger Yi Yunfei.
"Yi Yunfei has already arrived at the mountain gate of Qingyun Sect, I don't know if there will be a big war, but unfortunately, Qingyun Mountain is not something that can be climbed casually, and I can't see such a grand event!" Many people followed all the way, but they stopped when they came to the foot of the mountain, and they didn't dare to set foot on Qingyun Mountain easily.
"The old sect master of Gongsun has already announced that Yi Yunfei is his closed disciple, who dares to move lightly?" Some people always believed that with the deterrence of Gongsun Xin, the people of Qingyun Sect did not dare to move lightly.
The two disciples who reported the news knew that the matter was important, and flew away in the air, and after just half an hour, three people rushed from the top of the mountain, and after seeing Yi Yunfei and the others, they did not show hostility, saluted respectfully, and then guided the people of Yi Yunzong up the mountain.
Yi Yunfei saw a familiar face, this person had been captured by Yi Yunzong and then put back, his face was nervous, his eyes kept rolling on Yi Yunfei, and he stopped talking. Seeing Yi Yunfei looking at him, he shook his head slightly, as if reminding Yi Yunfei of something.
"What's the matter, let's solve it together today!" Yi Yunfei said in his heart, he naturally understood what the man meant, it is estimated that on this trip up the mountain, Yuwen Changkong and Yang Yuntao prepared a feast and were waiting for him, but he was not afraid, but had some expectations, hoping that the dust could settle as soon as possible.
The mountain road is very long, and it takes half an hour to see countless magnificent halls and rows of scattered houses. There are also several platforms scattered in the mountains, which should be used by disciples to practice. There are more and more forks in the mountain road, all the way forward, at a three-way position, the leader did not take Yi Yunfei in the direction of the top of the mountain, but walked towards a fork on the left.
The disciple who had just warned walked up to Yi Yunfei's side intentionally or unintentionally, and whispered inaudibly, "Be careful!"
"It's okay!" Yi Yunfei smiled, he felt the kindness of this young man, and he also understood that the person who led the way had no intention of letting him see Yuwen Changkong and Yang Yuntao at all.
Sure enough, after walking forward for a while, a huge square appeared in front of him, and thousands of disciples wearing Qingyun Sect Taoist uniforms gathered here, and when they saw the arrival of everyone from Yiyun Sect, their eyes were complicated.
In the middle of the field, there is a huge stone platform, more than two meters high the size of a football field, on the stone platform, an old man with white hair, looking at Yi Yunfei who walked at the front of the team with a complicated face.
Everyone in the Yi Yun Sect, including Yi Yunfei, was very surprised, they didn't know what the Qingyun Sect wanted to do with such a big battle. Yi Yunfei skipped over everyone and looked straight at the person on the high platform, he knew that this person was the protagonist.
"Are you Yuwen Changkong?" Yi Yunfei asked in a cold voice.
"He's not, he's Yang Xuance, the third elder of the Elder Peak!" The disciple who warned Yi Yunfei didn't have much to think about at the moment, and said softly.
Seeing Yi Yunfei's dazed face, the disciple continued: "He is Yang Yuntao's father!"
Yi Yunfei's eyes were cold, and he looked at Yang Xuance with murderous intent. He is not a saint, Yang Yuntao arranged for the people of the Hades Sect to take action, almost killing him, he went up the mountain this time, in fact, he didn't care if he could become the master of the Qingyun Sect, but Yang Yuntao and Yuwen Changkong had to be killed.
"Yang Yuntao is also the master of the Qingyun Sect's Tibetan Sword Peak, hasn't he been weaned yet?
Yang Xuance looked very old, his figure was a little rickety, he looked at Yi Yunfei with blazing eyes, he was not angered by Yi Yunfei's words, his face changed, and he seemed to hesitate about something. After a few moments, his waist slowly straightened, like a sharp sword unsheathed, exuding a piercing edge.
"Yang Xuance, the third elder of the Elder Peak, please advise!" Yang Xuance's tone was flat, and his voice was a little hoarse, but after his three words "please advise" came out, the faces of the thousands of Qingyun Sect disciples in the audience all changed, and they all showed expressions that were really like this.
"What do you mean?" Yi Yunfei asked the disciple beside him.
"This is the standing platform, and the three elders have issued a challenge to you, and this is a challenge that you can't refuse. The standing platform has existed since the beginning of the sect, and the disciples of the Qingyun Sect have shown their fearless courage and ability to settle down in this troubled era. If you refuse this kind of challenge, if you don't have a requirement for the high position of the sect, it will be a big deal to be ridiculed, but you are the one who wants to take over the position of the sect master of Gongsun, and if you refuse, it will damage your prestige too much. The disciple explained in a low voice.
Yi Yunfei sneered and said indifferently: "Get off the horse, you just want to slap me in the face here." I'm not interested in the position of the sect master, but I'm glad to be able to beat this old man down. ”
After saying that, Yi Yunfei's figure floated up, and he landed in front of Yang Xuance in the blink of an eye.
One old and one young are like two unsheathed swords, quietly opposed.
"I'm already over two thousand years old, only twenty years younger than Sect Master Gongsun. I'm sorry for making such a move to you, maybe the sect master will be extremely disappointed in me, the third elder, if he knows about this!" Yang Xuance didn't make a move immediately, he said to Yi Yunfei in an apologetic voice.
"Say whatever you want to say directly!" Yi Yunfei frowned and said with some impatience.
"I only have one son, and although I know what he has done is really wrong, I have to protect him. Please understand!" Yang Xuance's white hair fluttered, and his tone was gloomy, and it could be seen that this time he made a move, it was not his intention.
"Let's shoot!" Yi Yunfei drank coldly, the Xuan Gong in his body was running, and his body emitted a faint light.
"If you promise me to let Tao'er live, I will immediately admit defeat, and take Tao'er to leave Qingyun Sect forever, and never break my word!" Although Yang Xuance's aura was strong, he really didn't have much fighting intent, and he said a little anxiously.
"The elder of the Hades Sect who came to kill me last night has already been killed by me!" Yi Yunfei said with a sneer.
"I know!" Yang Xuance sighed.
"He personally admitted that he was instructed by Yang Yuntao!" Yi Yunfei continued to say coldly.
"What? Lord Yang Feng actually colluded with the people of the Hades Sect and wanted to kill Yi Yunfei? No wonder the three elders wanted to make a move, but was it just useful? Even if Yi Yunfei was killed, the Gongsun Sect Master would be held accountable, and Yang Yuntao would still be unable to escape death!"
Feeling the strange gaze of the disciples in the audience, Yang Xuance's body trembled slightly, but he still nodded with difficulty and said: "I know, but I said, I only have such a son, even if the flood is monstrous, I can't watch him die." ”
"Yang Yuntao promised the Hades Sect that after becoming the sect master, he would give the Hades Sect 100,000 souls every year. The three elders are well-informed, what does a hundred thousand living souls represent, I don't think I need to say more!" Yi Yunfei was unrelenting, his face was cold. He didn't answer Yang Xuance's words at all and continued.
Not only Yang Xuance knew, but most of the disciples of Qingyun Sect knew that 100,000 souls and 100,000 lives. For a while, there was a bang in the audience, and many disciples had already glared at Yang Xuance angrily, with deep hatred. Qingyun Sect and Hades Sect have been at odds for countless years, and there are countless disciples of Qingyun Sect who have died in the hands of Hades Sect people, and many of these people's relatives and friends are among the disciples of Qingyun Sect in the audience.
"I bear all my sins. For the sake of my son, who has not made a big mistake, is it feasible to exchange my life for my son's life?" Yang Xuance said with his straight back slightly bent, almost begging.
