Chapter 216: So What If We Revolt!
At Taihao Peak, within the Yunlong Grand Hall.
In the highest hall of the Yunyang Sect, Grandmaster Ji Guandao sat firmly in the main seat.
He watched the middle-aged cultivator before him, who was spitting out words of anger with an expression of arrogance!
The other man nearly poked a finger into Ji Guandao’s nostril: “Ji Guandao, your Yunyang Sect is acting so recklessly, do you even regard my Jiuyue Sect?”
“I advise you to turn back before it’s too late!”
Faced with this harsh reprimand from the envoy, Ji Guandao flicked his dust whisk and replied calmly, “Real Master Yin, just speak plainly. What does True Immortal Hongxi mean?”
A Golden Core true master behaving rudely like a common street vendor; indeed, the Yin family from Shanhai produced exceptional talents.
Ji Guandao looked down on him to the highest degree in his heart.
His nonchalant attitude stifled Real Master Yin’s rising momentum.
Real Master Yin put away his arrogance, glanced meaningfully at Ji Guandao, then respectfully bowed toward the north.
When he stood upright again, his expression turned extremely serious: “By the Grandmaster’s order, the Yunyang Sect is to…”
This envoy brought a decree from Zhao Hongxi, the Nascent Soul True Immortal and Grandmaster of Jiuyue Sect, demanding that the Yunyang Sect immediately cease its attacks on the Guiyuan Sect and compensate for all losses.
The compensation was tentatively set at ten thousand Upper Spirits and fifty flying ships, along with the requirement that the Yunyang Sect cede ten mines to the Guiyuan Sect, including at least three spirit stone mines.
Real Master Yin’s tone turned grim: “You Yunyang Sect actually built so many flying ships. Such intentions are unforgivable!”
The most shocking aspect of the Yunyang Sect’s sudden attack on their rival was that they deployed nearly a hundred flying ships, seizing countless mines from the Guiyuan Sect and nearly breaching the Guiyuan outer sect.
Who would have thought the Yunyang Sect had hidden such formidable strength, leaving the higher-ups of Jiuyue Sect shaken?
It was mild to say Ji Guandao’s intentions were unforgivable!
Besides these compensations, the Yunyang Sect would also have to deliver a hundred Purple Palace cultivators and one Golden Core to Jiuyue Sect.
And there was no room for negotiation!
Ji Guandao listened quietly and suddenly laughed.
Ten thousand Upper Spirits, fifty flying ships, ten mines, plus a hundred Purple Palace cultivators and one Golden Core.
This was meant to drain the very lifeblood of the Yunyang Sect, leaving them no chance to rise again!
“I choose Master Mu Qingqiu as the Golden Core.”
Real Master Yin’s arrogance resurfaced; he ignored Ji Guandao’s strange smile and boldly commanded, “Moreover, the Yin family in Yunshan is a branch of our Yin lineage. Even if they made mistakes, they shouldn’t be treated like this.”
“Take everyone back with me, and we can call it even with an additional three thousand Upper Spirits.”
Ji Guandao pondered for a moment and asked in astonishment, “Take them back where?”
Real Master Yin frowned: “To Jiuyue Sect, of course!”
Ji Guandao grew even more shocked: “How could you think you could return?”
Real Master Yin’s expression darkened: “Ji Guandao, what do you mean by that? Do you mean to revolt?”
Before he finished speaking, he gripped a Yuan Talisman in his hand.
A fourth-level Yuan Talisman was a talisman crafted by Nascent Soul true immortals; the one in Real Master Yin’s hand was given to him by True Immortal Hongxi. Once activated, it would instantly teleport him thousands of miles away, and no formation below the fourth level could stop it.
The protective formations of the Yunyang Sect only reached the peak of the third-grade level, which was absolutely insufficient to hold them back.
Real Master Yin dared to flaunt his power within the Yunyang Sect precisely because of this fourth-level Yuan Talisman!
He silently vowed that if Ji Guandao displayed even the slightest hint of treachery, he would immediately return to the Jiuyue Sect and summon the Yuan Ying Ancestor to suppress the Yunyang Sect.
Perhaps he could even seize Ji Guandao’s position for himself!
“What if we rebel!”
Ji Guandao laughed heartily: “The Yunyang Sect has been oppressed by the Jiuyue Sect for a thousand years, and now, with the spiritual tide rising and a great Calamity approaching, you still think you can use Yunyang as mere kindling? Do you truly believe we have no courage left?”
Real Master Yin did not respond. His right hand abruptly clenched into a fist, ready to activate the Yuan Talisman in his grasp!
Ji Guandao had already lost his mind, and Real Master Yin had no intention of staying to perish with him.
However, as soon as his magical energy began to gather, an immense and profound force instantly descended, pinning Real Master Yin in place, rendering him unable to move even a finger!
This power far exceeded Real Master Yin’s capacity to endure, materializing into dark golden chains that bound his neck, arms, legs, and even his energy field!
“Golden Gate Locking Immortal Array!”
Real Master Yin’s pale face flushed crimson; his eyes bulged with rage, and he strained to force out a few words from his throat.
Though he was derided as a "waste Golden Core" for relying on family resources to cultivate to the ninth grade within the Jiuyue Sect, his family heritage, experience, and discernment were still considerable.
The Golden Gate Locking Immortal Array was a formation capable of confronting Nascent Soul true immortals!
Who could have imagined that the Yunyang Sect had concealed such profound strength? Even if True Immortal Hongxi himself were present, caught off guard, he would likely suffer a significant blow.
The question was, what were the Yunyang Sect’s intentions, and what schemes did Ji Guandao have in mind?
Real Master Yin grew increasingly terrified.
He could no longer speak and could only use his eyes to plead for mercy from Ji Guandao.
If his body had not been immobilized, he would have likely dropped to his knees right then and there.
Ji Guandao reached out and took the fourth-level Yuan Talisman from Real Master Yin’s hand, glanced at it, and sighed, “Indeed, this is the work of Zhao Hongxi.”
Mentioning the name of this Nascent Soul true immortal, his tone carried no trace of respect.
Real Master Yin’s heart sank like a stone.
At that moment, a plain-clothed elder with white hair and beard appeared quietly beside Ji Guandao and said slowly, “The Jiuyue Sect’s response was quicker than expected, but our preparations are not yet complete.”
Ji Guandao asked respectfully, “Uncle Master, how much longer will it take?”
The plain-clothed elder raised three fingers: “At the earliest, three days.”
“Three days will suffice.”
Ji Guandao turned his gaze to Real Master Yin, offering a warm smile: “I trust Real Master Yin will be more than willing to assist us in this matter, won’t you, Real Master Yin?”
Real Master Yin suddenly felt the binding force loosen slightly, allowing him to speak once more.
He forced a smile that looked more pitiful than a grimace: “Yes, yes.”
Though his Golden Core had been forcibly solidified through the use of elixirs, Real Master Yin still had five hundred years of life ahead of him; he had not yet lived enough.
As long as there was even a sliver of hope, Real Master Yin was willing to pay any price!
Even though he knew full well that Ji Guandao, who hid daggers behind his smile, would never let him go.
But for now, as long as he could stay alive, there was still a chance.
“Three days from now…”
Ji Guandao exhaled deeply and tilted his head to gaze up at the lofty dome of the Yunlong Grand Hall.
Above the dome, a vividly lifelike dragon seemed poised to soar into the heavens.
“That will be the moment when my Yunyang breaks free from its chains!”
