Daoist Competition

Chapter 1413: Chapter 93: Forbidden Array Dissolves, Secret Mansion Revealed

Xisheng Mountain, Golden Bell Hall.

Du Shixun stood at the bottom of the steps, standing straight, and shouted loudly, "Father, during the battle at Gonggu City a few days ago, I and several elders killed five Xuanyue Guardians, only Chunyu Ji and two others escaped."

Most of the elders in the sect were present at this moment, and Elder Lin coughed and said, "Junior Sect Leader, Xuanyue has long been overthrown, so there is no longer a talk of guardians."

Du Shixun snorted, seemingly disdainful of answering him.

Elder Bai bowed to Sect Leader Qiao and said, "Brother, later I verified that these three people fled to the Eastern Hanhai Realm and are now hiding in a remote immortal city named ’Juluo’. Should I arrange for someone to pursue them?"

While Zhang Yan was in seclusion, the Zhongtai Sect dispatched disciples to take over immortal cities and calm people’s hearts.

Rong Junzhong had previously devised a plan to dismiss eight elder envoys and protectors, and to seek assistance from the Southern Three Sects to stabilize themselves and then plot to restore the sect.

Chunyu Ji had sent disciples south several times, but the three sects, wary of Zhang Yan’s support for Zhongtai, did not dare to take the risk, and over twenty years, they were gradually forced into a corner by Zhongtai. In a recent fight, five Nascent Soul cultivators were killed, and the remaining had to flee to the sea with their disciples.

Sect Leader Qiao weighed the pros and cons and finally shook his head, saying, "The Eastern Hanhai has high winds and waves, and there are often fish and dragons in the sea. If these three hide in the immortal city and rely on prohibitions to guard themselves, unless our whole sect exerts its power, it is difficult to break in. Since they’ve already been driven from East Victory Continent, and the Northern land is all in our hands, we need not bother them for now."

At this moment in East Victory North, except for True Master He cultivating at the former Xuanyue Mountain Gate which hasn’t been captured, the rest of the territories have been taken by Zhongtai.

Master Zheng of Zhongtai had predicted that with the fall of Xuanyue, True Master He has no reason to persist, and within decades he will inevitably reincarnate; with patience, this crucial land will eventually be in Zhongtai’s possession.

Du Shixun raised his eyebrows and cupped his hands, saying, "Father, to cut the grass you must remove the roots!"

Elder Lin glanced at Du Shixun sideways and said, "Junior Sect Leader, they’re just a few stray dogs, surviving miserably at sea; what waves could they stir up?"

Sect Leader Qiao nodded, saying, "Though the two sects are united now, our sect is not without worries. If all the elders go out, who will look after all these immortal cities?"

Elder Yan also said, "Brother, the urgent matter now is to organize and record Xuan Yue’s Daoist books and scriptures. If we can further evolve the Divine Passage Skills of Da Mi Ancestor, one day Zhongtai may dominate East Victory alone."

These words lifted the people’s spirits, and those in the hall nodded one after another.

However, the two sects had already separated for thousands of years, and many of Xuan Yue’s cultivation techniques have changed; to sort them out and refine them for the disciples is not a matter of one or two decades, it will require at least a century or two.

Du Shixun saw them debating one after another, all opposing his pursuit at sea, anger appeared on his face, and he abruptly turned and strode out of the hall.

Sect Leader Qiao did not stop him but instructed a disciple beside him, "Call Xun’er to the back hall later."

The disciple immediately went out from the side hall.

Du Shixun had not yet stepped off the golden platform when he was called back, guessing that they wanted to talk to him alone, he went to the back hall, waited for half an hour, before being invited inside, and upon entering the hall, saw Sect Leader Qiao and Mrs. Zhao sitting there, so he went up to pay his respects.

Sect Leader Qiao saw his indignant expression, seemingly still resentful about the previous matter, glanced at Mrs. Zhao, and she understood, softly parted her lips, "Child, don’t blame your father, he has his reasons for doing this."

Du Shixun stepped forward, cupping his fists, "Father, Chunyu Ji and others are a serious threat to Zhongtai. If not eliminated today, they’ll cause trouble in the future. What could be more urgent?"

Sect Leader Qiao sighed, "I understand what you’re saying, but there is a tricky matter in the sect recently which can’t be left unattended. Once it’s resolved, then we can find a suitable time to go to sea."

Du Shixun thought for a moment, questioning, "Is Father referring to the Dragon Pillar affair?"

Sect Leader Qiao nodded, saying, "Exactly that matter." At this point, his face turned somber, "The three sects are pressing hard, it’s better to remain stable than to make sudden moves."

Over twenty years, the Prohibition Array within the Dragon Pillar has gradually dissipated, revealing a Secret Mansion inside. On it, a few broken prohibitions remain, which will naturally dissolve in a few months if not removed now.
