Chapter 174: Breaking the Siege (5/5)
The vast majority of the masters in the Cold Hall are the henchmen of Leng Cong, the former leader of the Cold Moon Sect, after Qiu Yiyan killed Leng Cong and seized the throne, most of the masters in the Cold Moon Sect were obedient to Qiu Yiyan, but these Leng Cong's real henchmen did not choose to surrender.
And these masters who are unwilling to throw themselves into the new leader Qiu Yiyan basically have only three endings left.
A small number of them with strong or impatient personalities died at the hands of Qiu Yiyan or Qiu Yiyan's men when Qiu Yiyan seized power, and the rest either chose to run away from the religion or were sent to the current cold hall.
Those who can willingly stay in the cold hall, speaking of which, are all loyal to the Cold Moon Sect, but they are not used to the current sect leader Qiu Yiyan, so they stay in this cold hall.
Although Cai Qiongyue came to this cold hall for the first time, she had also heard of these characters in the cold hall.
Those who can be beaten into the cold hall are naturally not ordinary roles at the beginning, for example, that Wu Qiyuan is the Elder of the Dharma appointed by the previous sect leader Leng Cong.
And the old woman Wang Linglan, who didn't seem to be anything special, was the Great Protector of the Cold Moon Sect at the beginning, and her status was not weaker than that of the Four Great Elders.
As for the last tall and thin old man Yunlong Mountain, his background is not small, but he was the master of Leng Cong's side at the beginning!
In the Cold Moon Sect, except for the monsters in the temple who are not born all year round, it is naturally the sect leader who holds the power. But under the master, it is the two messengers who are in charge of the teaching.
In the Cold Moon Sect, the Sect Leader and the Commander Envoy are the absolute high-level who assist the sect leader in managing the affairs of the sect, and they are definitely the figures above 10,000 people under one person.
When Leng Cong, the former sect leader of the Cold Moon Sect, was in power, his envoy was the Yunlong Mountain in front of him, and the envoy was the current sect leader Qiu Yiyan.
When Qiu Yiyan seized power, he was only in his twenties, not a few years older than the current Xiao Suifeng, but he was promoted from an unknown person to the position of the commander.
At that time, Qiu Yiyan had not yet broken through to the artistic conception, but he was just a cultivator with a perfect qi realm, but he was appointed as the commander in charge of power at a young age, and he naturally attracted countless people in the Cold Moon Sect.
But Leng Cong was strong against public opinion, and he held the power alone, regardless of everyone's opposition, and forcibly promoted Qiu Yiyan to the position of the commander.
Leng Cong's attention to Qiu Yiyan is naturally conceivable, and Leng Cong's unusual promotion has also caused all kinds of grass speculation in the Cold Moon Sect back then.
Some people guess that Qiu Yiyan is the woman of the sect leader Leng Cong, but the difference between the two is too big, and Qiu Yiyan's attitude towards Leng Cong has always been cold, so it is unlikely.
In addition, the biggest speculation is that Qiu Yiyan is Leng Cong's illegitimate daughter, this kind of car speculation was once very noisy, and it was also widely circulated among the high-level leaders of the Leng Yue Sect, but Leng Cong and Qiu Yiyan, who were the parties concerned, seemed to have heard nothing and completely ignored them.
Ruolai's Qiu Yiyan's ability is also extremely strong, although Qiu Yiyan is mysterious in the Cold Moon Sect and rarely appears in front of everyone, but unconsciously, her subordinates have also gathered a group of extremely strong forces.
And after Qiu Yiyan mastered these powers, he did not hesitate at all, and as soon as he broke through into the artistic conception, he was ruthlessly killed Leng Cong who promoted him all the way to the position of Dao Commander, which shocked the people who had speculated before.
Qiu Yiyan is really an amazing task like a star above the nine heavens.
It must be known that the position of the leader of the Cold Moon Sect has no requirements for origin and the like, and the only requirements are only two points.
Needless to say, the first point is that if you want to become a sect leader, you must first become a member of the Cold Moon Sect. As for the second point, it is even more straightforward, that is, the position of the leader of the Holy Sect must be filled by a master above the artistic conception.
These two requirements have always been strictly complied with by the Cold Moon Sect, and even if the position of the sect leader is temporarily vacant, it has never been broken.
Therefore, when Qiu Yiyan attacked Leng Cong, Leng Cong was naturally above the cultivation of artistic conception, and even Leng Cong was an old master of artistic conception, and it had been more than ten years since he broke through.
But Qiu Yiyan just broke through, but he did not hesitate and was not afraid to make a bold move against Leng Cong, and even killed Leng Cong in the last move, which shows how amazing Qiu Yiyan's talent and strength should be.
Qiu Yiyan killed Leng Cong, the leader of the Leng Yue Sect, in one fell swoop, which naturally caused those Leng Cong's henchmen to burst out, but Qiu Yiyan even killed Leng Cong without hesitation, and naturally ignored those henchmen with Leng Cong, and after killing several people in a row, the situation was shocked.
Of course, Qiu Yiyan is not alone, behind her, there are also some masters who support her, and she also made a big contribution to Qiu Yiyan's control of the situation.
It's just that after Leng Cong was killed, the position of the leader of the Cold Moon Sect was vacant.
At that time, the Cold Moon Sect was also the same as now, it was being attacked by the entire righteous path, the situation was unstable, and the position of the sect leader was vacant, which was naturally a fatal blow to the Cold Moon Sect.
At that time, only Qiu Yiyan was left who could meet the requirements of the sect leader.
It's just that Qiu Yiyan brazenly killed Leng Cong, which was naturally unacceptable in the eyes of the people of the Leng Yue Sect, and some neutral masters also disagreed, as for Leng Cong's henchmen, naturally not to mention.
And that Yunlong Mountain is undoubtedly the strongest and most powerful person among them.
As Leng Cong's head envoy, Yunlongshan and Qiu Yiyan, who was on an equal footing with him at a young age, have always been full of contradictions, and now, he is the first to stand up against Qiu Yiyan's accession to the throne.
In fact, Qiu Yiyan herself didn't have much interest in the position of sect leader, it seemed that her purpose was simply to kill Leng Cong.
In such a situation, Yunlong Mountain naturally has his own thoughts.
At that time, Yunlong Mountain was one step away from the artistic conception, and it could break into the artistic conception at any time. And if the position of the sect leader is vacant, Qiu Yiyan is controversial, if he can break into the artistic conception, then the position of the sect leader will undoubtedly fall into his hands.
It's just that from the breakthrough of the qi realm to the artistic conception, it does not mean that the strength is enough is a breakthrough that can be made naturally, if you want to break through, you have to have an opportunity, but it is obvious that the Yunlong Mountain fate has not been able to come for a long time.
And the situation of the Cold Moon Sect at that time was obviously not allowed to leave the position of the sect leader vacant, after all, the attack of the righteous path was still continuing, and if one was not careful, the entire Cold Moon Sect could fall into a situation of internal and external troubles at any time.
Therefore, just when the Cold Moon Sect was about to fall into a split for the position of the sect leader, the temple that had been ignoring the world finally made a decision and sent a temple messenger to push Qiu Yiyan to the position of the sect leader in the name of the temple.
Although the temple almost never interfered in the affairs of the Cold Moon Sect, the status of the temple in the hearts of the people of the Cold Moon Sect was unshakable, and seeing that the temple actually supported Qiu Yiyan to become the leader of the Cold Moon Sect, those opposing voices in the Cold Moon Sect immediately disappeared, and even the most opposed Yunlong Mountain did not say more.
That Qiu Yiyan is also a strange woman, she was originally not too interested in the position of the leader of the Cold Moon Sect, but after being pushed to the position of the sect leader by the temple and a group of henchmen, the methods were also fierce and tough.
According to Qiu Yiyan's idea, it was to kill or expel all those who opposed her before and those who were unwilling to give in, and it was also under the persuasion of Bailikong and Ning Hongshan, who had supported her from the beginning, that she gave up this idea.
However, Qiu Yiyan is indeed a person who dares to hate and dare to do, although he spared Yunlongshan and the others, but he did not wait for the end of the righteous path to attack the Cold Moon Sect, it was a decree, and he directly established a cold hall in this originally uninhabited Hatred Heaven Valley, and sent these people in Yunlongshan into it in one go.
But judging from this Qiu Yiyan's approach, this Qiu Yiyan seems to be an acute person who has no city government at all, and he doesn't care about the person in front of him at all.
This also caused a lot of opposition and doubts in the Cold Moon Sect at that time, and it was only because Qiu Yiyan's position as the sect leader was arranged by the temple that no one dared to stand up directly.
In their opinion, right now, the Cold Moon Sect is facing the attack of foreign enemies, and even if Qiu Yiyan is jealous of Yunlongshan and the others, he should wait for the attack of the righteous path factions to be repulsed before purging.
It's just that Qiu Yiyan is not only a master of achieving artistic conception at a young age, but also a role that replaced the former sect leader Leng Cong along the way, since she dares to do this, especially has no way to deal with it?
Just when everyone in the Cold Moon Sect was in shock, Qiu Yiyan didn't say a word, didn't leave any orders, and actually left the Cold Moon Sect directly.
At the moment of the great enemy, the masters of the sect were almost imprisoned, and the sect leader disappeared directly, which immediately set off a turmoil in the entire Cold Moon Sect.
However, in the midst of this turmoil, one after another shocking news kept coming from outside.
It turned out that Qiu Yiyan suddenly left the Cold Moon Sect, naturally not to escape from the battle, but to go to the mountain gates of all the major sects of the righteous path in the shortest possible time.
Yangxu Palace, Cloud Piercing Sword Sect, Heavenly Eagle Castle, etc., all of a sudden, the entire rivers and lakes, regardless of the righteous demons, can be said to be shaken.
Of course, it wasn't these that really changed everything, but Qiu Yiyan actually broke into the base camp of the righteous path directly after returning from the major factions.
At that time, the leader of the righteous path was about the same as now, and the most powerful in the righteous path was naturally the Yang Void Palace, and Qiu Yiyan directly found the big tent of the Yang Void Palace, and in front of the masters of the righteous path, he had a fierce battle with the master of the Yang Void Palace, Qingxu Zhenren, and finally defeated the artistic conception master Qingxu, who had been famous for a long time like Leng Cong, with the cultivation that had just broken through the artistic conception, and killed more than ten righteous path masters by the way, including some of the elders of the big factions, and then he left.
After this news came out, when the world was shaken, the righteous path factions also hurriedly retreated, and they no longer dared to compete with the Cold Moon Sect.
And after this news was transmitted back to the Cold Moon Sect, it naturally shook up and down, and when Yun Longshan and the others, who were not ready to back down, heard the news, they could only sigh lightly at the moment, and without waiting for Qiu Yiyan to return to the sect, they directly moved into the cold hall in the Valley of Hatred.
First killed Leng Cong, the leader of the Cold Moon Sect, and then defeated the palace master of the Yang Void Palace, Qingxu, and for a while, the leaders of the two realms of righteousness and demons, who were considered to be the strongest by the entire rivers and lakes, were all lost in the hands of Qiu Yiyan without exception.
As a result, Qiu Yiyan instantly reached the pinnacle of the entire rivers and lakes with a momentum that is unparalleled in the world, and in the Cold Moon Sect, naturally no one dared to question Qiu Yiyan's decision from now on.
As for Yunlong Mountain, who still had a trace of ambition in his heart at the beginning, seeing this, he could only dispel his ambitions, and silently lived in the Valley of Hatred according to Qiu Yiyan's decision, and from then on, he would not see the light of day.
......
Cai Qiongyue silently recalled the past of the Cold Moon Sect that was not too far away in her heart, and naturally she didn't need to say much about the awe of the sect leader Qiu Yiyan, but she didn't dare to have the slightest contempt for the Yunlong Mountain in front of her.
The former head of the sect, Yun Longshan, didn't pay attention to Cai Qiongyue's expression, but just silently muttered for a moment, as if he was thinking about whether to help Gu Yuancheng.
Cai Qiongyue saw that Yunlongshan's expression, and her heart became more and more worried, but although Yunlongshan was no longer the original master of the 10,000 people under that person, after all, Yu Wei was still there, coupled with his unfathomable strength, it naturally made Cai Qiongyue always cautious.
Just when Yunlong Mountain was silent, Wu Qiyuan, a short and thin old man with a hot temper on the side, snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, isn't that woman powerful, let her go and solve the siege by herself, there is only a group of immortal people in this ghost place, come here to ask for help!"
Hearing Wu Qiyuan scold like this, Cai Qiongyue was even more worried in her heart, and she was about to open her mouth to refute a few words, but she didn't dare.
It's just that Cai Qiongyue hasn't spoken yet, but Yunlong Mountain glanced at Wu Qiyuan lightly, and said indifferently, "The Holy City is the Holy City of the Holy Sect, not that woman's." Although we are a group of despicable people who do not die or live, we are still members of the Holy Sect after all, if we really ignore the safety of the Holy Sect, why should we stay here all these years?"
What Yunlongshan said is naturally also the truth.
Although the cold hall is a place where Qiu Yiyan is not satisfied with his own people, in fact, there is no restriction on the entry and exit of this cold hall, outsiders can come in, and people inside can naturally go out.
It's just that when the cold hall was established, it was a rule that was left behind, and the people who were assigned to the cold hall, if they stayed in this cold hall, they would still be considered members of the Cold Moon Sect, but if they didn't want to stay in this place where they didn't see the light of day, and they wanted to leave, they could do it. It's just that once you get out of this cold hall, you will be cut off from the Cold Moon Sect from now on, and you will have nothing to do with it.
And Yun Longshan and the others have been sticking to this place for several years, so naturally they still have a deep affection for the Cold Moon Sect, and they don't want to deviate from it, so they stay.
At this moment, hearing Yun Longshan say this, Wu Qiyuan couldn't help but look dark, and although his wrinkled face was full of resentment, he didn't continue to scold.
Instead, the old woman on the side spoke, "Although what Brother Long said is good, it's just that there are rules in this cold hall, and those of us who wear guilt, once we leave, we will cut off contact with the Holy Sect, and we will have the heart to go out to help, I'm afraid it's helpless." ”
Hearing Wang Linglan say this, Long Yunshan couldn't help but look at Cai Qiongyue.
Cai Qiongyue listened to their conversation, and had already heard a turning point from it, and when she saw that Yunlongshan was looking at her, she immediately took out a decree from her arms.
This decree was given to him by Ning Hongshan and Bailikong before leaving, and they obviously also thought of this restriction of Hantang, so they hereby wrote this decree as the elders who stayed behind.
The content of the fatwa is very simple, that is, if a person in the cold hall goes out to rescue, he is acting according to the order, and it is not considered to be a violation of the rules.
Speaking of which, Ning Hongshan and Bailikong dared to risk Qiu Yiyan's anger to write this decree, which could be regarded as a bit of courage, but when Yun Longshan glanced at the word "temporary" in the decree, the corners of his mouth still couldn't help but show a trace of contemptuous smile.
Ning Hongshan and Bailikong made up their minds to ask Han Tang for help, they had already committed a taboo, so naturally they didn't dare to do anything else that would easily make Qiu Yiyan misunderstand.
Therefore, in that fatwa, Ning Hongshan and Bailikong used the word temporary very carefully, naturally saying that the rescuers in the Cold Tang Dynasty could leave the Valley of Hatred, but it was only a temporary act, which did not mean a complete decision, nor did it completely release them.
Ning Hongshan and Bailikong are also the real power elders in the Cold Moon Sect, but when facing the Cold Tang Dynasty, they have to be cautious to such an extent, which shows what kind of status Qiu Yiyan should have in their hearts.
Nayun Longshan read the decree, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he finally made a decision, looked at Wu Qiyuan and Wang Linglan, chased after him or threw the decree to Wang Linglan, and said, "Since the Holy City is in trouble, there is a decree in the sect, Sister Linglan, you can take a few people out for a walk." ”
As he spoke, Yunlong Mountain couldn't help but look at the misty sky outside the valley, and sighed lightly, "How many days have I not seen the sun, and now I should see it!"
Say, with a soft sigh, it suddenly disappeared into the mist.
And after Wu Qiyuan looked at Wang Linglan and the fatwa in her hand, he didn't say a word, turned around and got into the thick fog, and after a while, only Wang Linglan and Cai Qiongyue were left in the courtyard of the cold hall.
Wang Linglan looked at the fatwa in her hand, and she was also a little emotional.
Cai Qiongyue saw that Hantang finally agreed to make a move, and she was relieved in her heart, seeing Wang Linglan's appearance, she was not in a hurry to urge for a while.
However, this old woman Wang Linglan is also a simple person, and after a little feeling, she glanced at Cai Qiongyue and said softly, "Let's go." ”
As Wang Linglan's words fell, Cai Qiongyue was surprised to find that behind her, at some point, there were two more people, a man and a woman, standing silently behind her like ghosts, which really surprised her.
However, seeing Wang Linglan's cold appearance, Cai Qiongyue was very cautious and didn't say anything, don't think about it, these two people are naturally going to hate Tiangu with Wang Linglan.
