Chapter 403: 402. Only Those Who Can Live
Translator: 549690339
In the center of Xian Tian Palace, there was a majestic palace. It was the most majestic palace in the entire palace, and its aura dominated the entire place. It was called Fu Xi Palace.
All the important matters in the palace were discussed in Fu Xi Palace, which was the core of Xian Tian Palace.
There were eight golden bells hanging outside the hall. At this moment, one of the golden bells was ringing.
There was a huge Innate Eight Trigrams Diagram in the hall. It was divided into eight areas and there were eight seats.
The main seat did not face south, but was located in the center of the hall. It was nine feet higher than the rest of the hall. The furnishings on it were simple, with only one futon and four incense burner.
Among the eight seats, the north, northwest, and southeast seats were empty.
In the other five seats, there was a Xian Tian Palace elder with a solemn aura sitting on each of them. Behind each of them, there were disciples standing in twos and threes.
Everyone held their breaths and listened to the bell.
The bell chimed six times and stopped.
Light shone on the dome of the hall.
The light condensed into a tangible staircase that extended from the air to the main seat in the center of the hall.
A woman who looked to be in her thirties or forties with a graceful aura walked down the stairs at a moderate pace. She then came to the middle of the four incense burner and sat down on a futon.
The five elders who had been sitting quietly in the five seats around them stood up and bowed to the center.
“Greetings, Palace Lord.”
Xian Tian Palace’s current palace lord, ‘Heaven and Earth Overturning Hands’ Shan Jing nodded slightly, “”No need for formalities.”
The five elders sat down together.
“Today’s topic is about Elder Cheng Hecheng and Chen Luoyang of the Ancient Gods Clan, ” said Xian Tian Palace Master.
Cheng He, the Unfixed Calamity Wave, was not as important as the eight elders in Xian Tian Palace and he was usually low-key. However, as a member of the Elder Council and a Martial Saint, Xian Tian Palace could not take his death lightly.
” Chen Luoyang of the Divine Lands is extremely mysterious. He’s at the Martial Emperor Realm, but he was appointed as the unprecedented Deputy Sect Leader by the Ancient Gods Clan. The reason behind this is intriguing. Elder Modest Wind Yue Zhengbo said from the southwest seat.
He continued tirelessly, ” According to the information we currently have, the people who came to the Divine Lands with Junior Brother Cheng were the abbot of the western paradise, Swordmaster Darknorth, Fusang Island Lord, and
Azure Dragon Island Lord. Later on, Sky River Sword Immortal, Blood River Ancestor, Emperor Chu, and the Ancient Gods Clan’s Sect Master also made a move. However, Chen Luoyang was safe and sound in the end. He even appeared in the Western Qin Imperial Capital, Zheng Yang City, a few days ago.
Everyone in Xian Tian Palace knew about the incident where all the Martial Emperors were wiped out in the Divine Lands.
Many of the direct descendants of the 15th level Saint Lands were able to descend upon the Divine Lands because of the treasures of Xian Tian Palace.
Among them were the direct descendants of the Blood River, the Heavenly River, the South Chu Imperial Family, the western paradise, and the Fusang Island.
In the end, they all died because of Chen Luoyang. The western paradise even lost a precious treasure, the Earth Matrix Wheel.
Because of the one page of the Heavenly Book, the various powerhouses had finally made their move, yet they were still able to let Chen Luoyang escape unscathed. Now, he was still free and unfettered, which was truly inconceivable to everyone.
Even though Swordmaster Darknorth and Azure Dragon Island Lord were helping the Ancient Gods Clan’s Sect Master and the three titans were working together to protect Chen Luoyang, the opposing lineup was even stronger.
The fact that Chen Luoyang was safe and sound had almost become an unsolvable mystery in the mortal world.
On the south seat, the white-haired old man in black said indifferently, “Regarding this child, it’s best not to be too hasty.”
“Senior Brother You is right.” Elder Li Huo, who was seated in the east, said, “However, it’s a little strange that Junior Brother Cheng left the mortal world without saying a word.”
Elder Modest Wind Yue Zhengbo said, ” Junior Brother Shan’s words are strange. Junior Brother Cheng has always been concerned about the palace. He heard that there was a remnant of the Tomes of Arcane, so he went to the mortal world to search for it. Although it was a reckless mistake, what’s so strange about it? ”
“Is it for me or for South Chu?” Elder Li Huo asked.
On the central seat, Xian Tian Palace Master interrupted, “”Don’t use groundless guesses.”
“Yes, Palace Master.” Elder Li Huo immediately shut his mouth.
To the west, Kanshui Elder Shentu Hou said calmly.
“BenGong is located in the South Chu territory, so I have to deal with the people of South Chu. Junior Brother Cheng is good at socializing, so he does have more contact with the people of South Chu.
However, his heart has always been with this prince, and his heart is selfless. He plans for this prince and doesn’t care about his personal reputation. Now that he’s gone, he’s still being slandered. It’s really heartbreaking.”
Elder Li Huo sneered when he heard this. Then, he heard the other party continue,” This old man is reckless, please forgive me. If it was someone else, it would be fine, but for a scum who placed his personal interests above Xian Tian Palace to slander my junior brother’s name, this old man cannot bear to see it. ‘
His words suddenly became sharp, like a storm.
When Elder Li Huo heard this, his expression changed. “Shentu, watch your mouth. Do you think I’m easy to bully?”
“You, Shan Song, should be the one who thinks that I’m easy to bully.” In the southwest, Elder Modest Wind Yue Zhengbo spoke slowly.
He stood up. ” I’ve been searching for decades and finally found a suitable successor. But because I’ve blocked your grandson’s path, I actually need you to do it yourself. ‘
“Yue Zhengbo, what’s wrong with you?” Elder Shan Song shouted angrily.
Elder Zhenlei, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke up. His voice was like thunder, shaking the entire audience.”Senior Brother Le, please be careful with your words. You can’t just say those empty words.”
Elder Modest Wind Yue Zhengbo’s expression was solemn, and a hint of sorrow appeared in his eyes.” Brother Priest, you should still remember my successor, Zhang Mao.
Elder Zhenlei said, ” That’s right. He is indeed a genius. It’s a pity that the heavens are jealous of talents. If he didn’t die early, he might not be worse than Cheng Yingtian of South Chu.
” Brother Priest, you flatter me. If my last disciple could really live to this day, it’s hard to say what achievements he would have. ” “But at least it’s something that can be accomplished. Is that true?” Elder Modest Wind Yue Zhengbo said.
He looked up at the sky and sighed. ” But it’s a pity. It’s a pity that he’s about the same age as Shan Song’s grandson, but his seniority is a little higher.
If this old man hadn’t personally accepted him as a disciple, he might not have been killed.”
However, Elder Kanshui Shentu Hou said, ” Senior Brother Le, you’re mistaken.
With Zhang Mao’s talent, he’s above Shan Song’s grandson, Shan Zhongjie. Even if he’s one generation younger than Shan Zhongjie, he’ll definitely be killed by Shan Song. Otherwise, how can Shan Song pave the way for his grandson? ‘
“Shentu, are you complaining about the injustice for your grandson?
Unfortunately, he’s no match for Zhongjie.”
“If not for this, I’m afraid that Jing Ran would have long been killed by your Shan family, causing me to die.” Kanshui Elder Shentu Hou said.
“Senior Brother Shentu, you have crossed the line.” ” Senior Brother Le lost his last disciple, ” Elder Zhenlei said. ” It’s understandable for him to say a few more words because he’s hurt. If you continue to spout nonsense, don’t blame me for offending you.
Elder Shan Song shouted, ” Zhang Mao is an outstanding disciple of this palace. He is extremely talented and has endless potential. He unfortunately died young. This old man is also very regretful, but this doesn’t mean that this old man should be slandered by you! ‘
The smell of gunpowder in the hall gradually thickened.
Only the Xian Tian Palace Master and the white-haired old man who sat in the middle and south seats were calm as usual, as if they had turned a deaf ear to the argument.
“Out of thin air? Slander?” Elder Modest Wind Yue Zhengbo raised his head and laughed loudly.” If I didn’t have any concrete evidence, how would I know that it was you, Shan Song, who did this? ‘
His laughter was mournful as he raised his hand and a black shadow appeared.
Everyone looked over and saw an incomplete eight trigrams disk.
“This is the treasure I gave to Zhang Mao.” Yue Zhengbo flicked his finger on it, and the Eight Trigrams Disk suddenly reflected a scene.
On the screen, Elder Li Huo, Shan Song, struck out with his palm with an expressionless face.
“It’s forged as if it’s real.”
Elder Li Huo, Shan Song, sneered disdainfully.
Elder Modest Wind Yue Zhengbo didn’t say anything more and threw it at Elder Zhenlei.
Shan Song’s cold smile did not change, but his gaze darkened slightly. After a moment of silence, Elder Zhenlei slowly said,”Senior Brother Shan…
“Brother Priest, I’ve always admired your cultivation.” “But there are also a few experts in this world who don’t use their skills properly. They only know how to do things that are crooked and evil,” said Elder Shan Song.
Elder Zhenlei fell silent.
He naturally knew that a small number of people were faking it and might be able to fool his eyes.
Elder Zhenlei’s gaze shifted between the white-haired old man in the south seat and the Xian Tian Palace Master in the center seat.
“Shan Song is Palace Master’s blood brother, and Shan Zhongjie is Palace Master’s grandnephew. I hope Palace Master can avoid arousing suspicion regarding today’s matter.” Kanshui Elder Shentu Hou said slowly. “Good, the fox’s tail has finally been revealed!” Elder Shan Song sneered.
“Junior Brother Mu, is there anything you don’t understand?” he shouted at Elder Zhenlei. Other than You Hao, who else here would forge something to deceive you and have the ability to hide it from your eyes and ears!”
On the south seat, the head of the Xian Tian Palace Elder Council, Gantian Mountain Elder You Hao, had no expression of joy or anger. He was calm and didn’t say a word.
“Li Huo, don’t make a ruckus.” The palace lord said.
Elder Li Huo Shan Song immediately stopped speaking.
Palace Master looked at Gantian Mountain Elder You Hao, ” Speak your mind. ‘
Elder Modest Wind Yue Zhengbo said, ” This palace is not like the Southern Chu, Western Qin, and Eastern Zhou. We should not use our bloodlines to determine our orthodoxy. We should only let the capable occupy it.
We don’t have any other intentions. We only hope that the weight of a family won’t be above a palace…’
“I didn’t ask you.” The palace lord calmly spoke.
His voice wasn’t loud, but Yue Zhengbo was instantly silenced.
“I agree with Junior Brother Le.”
The leader of the elders of Xian Tian Palace, Gantian Elder You Hao spoke.
As his voice rang out, Modest Wind Elder Yue Zhengbo instantly felt the pressure disappear and heaved a sigh of relief.
You Hao, who was dressed in black, stood up slowly with his hands behind his back. He calmly looked at Palace Master Shan Jing, who was sitting in the middle of the main seat.
” Only those who are capable can live. Does that include you, Senior Brother You? ” The palace lord calmly spoke..
