Chapter 457

Just when Fang Yuan's dharma boat sailed into the gate of Qingyang Sect, the atmosphere in the ancestral hall of the main peak of Qingyang was extremely oppressive.

Qingyang Sect Master Chen Xuanang sat cross-legged on the futon. Beside him, sat Elder Yun who was in charge of Xiaozhufeng, and opposite them, sat cross-legged Elder Xiao who was in charge of Ziyun Peak. In the whole hall, there were only the three of them, but outside the hall, a group of elders and deacons could be seen gathered around the door, looking anxious, waiting for a result.

And from their expressions, it can also be seen that they are faintly divided into two, confronting each other.

"Sovereign, what I mean has been expressed very clearly!"

After being silent for a while, Elder Xiao slowly opened his eyes. There was a glint of light in his pupils. He looked at the face of Qingyang Sect Master Chen Xuan'ang, and said in a low voice: "I just need to get back the life lamps of myself, my seventeen deacons, and one hundred and thirty-two disciples, hold the incense, and leave Qingyang Sect. From then on, I will guard my own destiny and cultivate my own way. Why is the Sect Master still unwilling to agree?"

If such words are spread out, I'm afraid it will shock a group of people's jaws.

But at this time, Qingyang Sect Patriarch Chen Xuanang listened, but he remained calm and said calmly: "Junior brother Xiao, half a year ago, you wanted to leave the mountain gate and go out to practice alone, disregarding the safety of the mountain gate. I have already agreed, but now you have intensified. You want to come back to ask for your own life lamp, and take away all the deacons and disciples. This is too embarrassing for me..."

He sighed, and then continued: "Junior brother Qin is injured and is still in closed-door training. Elder Taishi is guarding the mountain hub with all his strength. He cannot separate himself. There are only the three of us here. I can't help but say something frankly. Today, the five great immortal sects of the Yue Kingdom rely on alliances to support them. Are the four great immortal gates advancing and retreating with us?"

"The name of the five major alliances of the Yue Kingdom has already existed in name only, so what does the suzerain still care about?"

Elder Xiao spoke lightly, and said: "The general trend is so far, it is useless to stick to it, and it is best to go our separate ways. Why does the suzerain insist?"

Hearing this, Qingyang Sect Master Chen Xuanang sighed, but Elder Yun, who was beside him, had a dark expression on his face, and slowly said: "Junior Brother Xiao, the alliance of the five great immortal sects of the Yue Kingdom may really exist in name only, but the incense of the Qingyang Sect is still alive, the Dao is still alive, and the spirits of the ancestors of the past generations are still alive. How can you speak openly and say such things?"

With Elder Yun's temperament, it can be said that he was extremely angry when he scolded him face to face.

After listening to his words, Elder Xiao lowered his eyebrows slightly, unmoved by it, and said indifferently: "The reason is very simple. It was the three of you who decided to let that kid leave the mountain privately, so what's the matter with us? I also understand your thoughts at the time, but I think this kid is very talented and will achieve a lot in the future. He can bring greater hope to Qingyangzong, and even fulfill your long-cherished wish and lead Qingyangzong to return to the position of the number one immortal sect in Yunzhou..."

When he said this, he paused for a while, then raised his head to look at the master of Qingyang Sect.

There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth, his voice was low, and there was even a touch of unwillingness and anger: "But why, because of the unwillingness and ambition in your heart, you drag so many disciples of Qingyang Sect to bear this risk together?"

"you……"

Elder Yun's expression changed, and he was secretly furious.

But the suzerain Chen Xuanang stopped him, looked at Elder Xiao, and said: "Junior brother Xiao, you don't understand that the rise of the sect to check and balance Yunzhou is not a matter of one or two people, it is a matter of great benefit to everyone in the Qingyang Sect!"

"It's good for the living..."

Elder Xiao said calmly: "And who can see your picture cake, who is dead?"

When he said this, his complexion became even more ugly, and he said coldly: "Because you all tried your best to fight against Yinshan Sect, but you were besieged by demons on Youyun Mountain. Elder Kuang, who is a dignified body with golden core cultivation, was killed by the life-life curse, can you see that?"

"Those disciples who had good prospects but were beheaded by the assassins of Jiuyou Palace outside the mountain can see it?"

"Can those cultivating families who were slaughtered overnight without even a single blade of grass be seen?"

Every time he said a word, Elder Xiao's aura became stronger, and at the end, he seemed to be questioning the Qingyang Sect Master: "Today, when I return to the mountain, I want to ask on behalf of those innocent disciples who didn't want to be involved in this dispute, but were forcibly left in the mountain by you, why do you want us to pay the price for your ambition?"

...

...

His voice and expression were both fierce, and if he had to use one word to describe Elder Xiao, these four words would be the only words.

But at this time, Qingyang Sect Master Chen Xuanang and Elder Yun fell silent.

It was as if the two of them had been questioned by Elder Xiao.

After a while, Chen Xuanang, the suzerain of Qingyang Sect, sighed helplessly, and said quietly: "Probably, it is because there are too many people who have such thoughts, so the alliance of the five great immortal sects was destroyed so easily!"

Elder Yun also said slowly: "Two years ago, Junior Brother Xiao, you left Qingyang Sect. Junior Brother Qin went to persuade you to come back, but was severely injured and your life was on the line. You fled back to the mountain, but you were unscathed. It seems that there should have been a demon from the Yinshan Sect who found you at that time, but you did not act like Elder Qin in anger, but changed your mind..."

Facing Elder Yun's speculation, Elder Xiao surprisingly did not refute it.

After a long while, he nodded directly instead, and said, "The old man really understood what he was thinking at that time!"

As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced over the faces of the Qingyang Sect Master and Elder Yun, and said calmly: "I don't want to get involved in any disputes between the immortal sect, I just want to practice with peace of mind... That's why I came back, I took my life lamp and left, and those deacons and disciples who followed me, since their hearts are no longer in the immortal sect, why do you have to hold them forcibly, let them go with us!"

After a slight pause, he added another sentence, saying: "In this way, even if the Qingyang Sect is destroyed, there will always be some incense to continue!"

"If you leave, you will no longer be Qingyang's incense!"

The suzerain Chen Xuanang glanced at Elder Xiao indifferently, and said: "At the beginning, you and I were seeking the position of suzerain of Qingyang together. At that time, your cultivation base was higher than mine, but the master passed on the suzerain to me. Now I finally understand the intention of the master. Junior brother Xiao, you really are not suitable to be the master of a sect. There are thousands of people in your family and one person in charge. Every sect and orthodoxy will encounter various disasters..."

"And at such a time, as the suzerain, it is natural to make the decision that a suzerain should have. For example, when the demons invaded back then, Master decided that our Qingyang sect would resist with all our strength. For example, five years ago when the demons forced the palace, I decided to protect Xiao Fangyuan..."

"These things should be done..."

Chen Xuanang paused, and said coldly: "I don't need everyone to agree, I just need to be responsible to most people!"

With these words, Elder Xiao, who spoke bluntly, looked a little angry.

He couldn't help leaning forward, and said in a low voice: "Who listens to your reasoning, I only know that your decision killed many people, and it seems that you will kill more people. We just don't want to stay and be buried, so we are going to leave..."

"When a person is in danger, he needs to live with a broken arm; when his body is weak, he must be tempered no matter how hard it is..."

Qingyang Sect Master Chen Xuanang lowered his voice, looked to his left, a wilting orchid, and after a moment of silence, he continued softly: "Similarly, to see the flowers bloom, naturally you have to pay the pain of cultivation. Now it is the time when Qingyang Sect has gone through the fire and is reborn from Nirvana. If you can't bear these pressures, how can you expect the glory of the sect?"

Elder Xiao gave suzerain Chen Xuanang a cold look. After a while, he suddenly sneered and said, "We don't have a good life to enjoy the future glory of Qingyang Sect. We just ask suzerain to return the lamp of life to us at this time, and let us live!"

The master of Qingyang Sect was silent for a while, then nodded slowly.

Elder Yun frowned suddenly, and glanced at Qingyang Sect Master.

But the master of Qingyang Sect waved his hand lightly, and said: "It's useless to talk too much, if he wants to leave, just let him go!"

Elder Xiao didn't seem to have expected the suzerain to agree so easily. After being slightly stunned, he tentatively pinched a seal, but saw that behind the suzerain, on the shelf covering half of the hall, more than a hundred life lamps flew towards him quickly, but the suzerain did not stop him. Only then did the suzerain really allow him to leave Qingyang sect at this time and start a new sect.

"The suzerain's millennium plan, we are not blessed to accept it, but we have to thank senior brother for letting me go..."

Elder Xiao put away his life lamp, gave a salute to the suzerain with a smile, and then slowly straightened up. Before leaving the door, he turned his head to look at suzerain Chen Xuan'ang, and said with a smile, "It seems that the suzerain is full of confidence in that young disciple surnamed Fang. Ups and downs, who can really tell?"

That's all, but he smiled lightly, and said: "The news that the child died outside before, I also know that it was a rumor released by Yue Wangting to shake the confidence of the five great immortal sects. However, the road is long and the hardships are endless. Even if he didn't die outside, he was still alone. He had no ancestors to teach him, and he had no sect to follow. Is it worth paying so much?"

Suzerain Chen Xuan'ang listened to his words quietly, without expression or expression, just lowered his eyes and watched his heart.

When Elder Xiao saw the appearance of suzerain Chen Xuanang, a sneer appeared on his face, and he sighed: "Forget it, when we are parting, I hope that your painstaking efforts will not be in vain, suzerain. I hope that one day, you can really see Qingyangzong return to its former glory..."

After saying that, he turned around and left without stopping.

Hearing the sarcasm in his words, Elder Yun was already a little angry.

But Chen Xuanang, the lord of Qingyang Sect, suddenly opened his eyes and said with a smile, "Why wait for the day?"

Elder Xiao was slightly taken aback, and turned to look at him.

However, a smile appeared on Chen Xuan'ang, the patriarch of Qingyang Sect, and he suddenly raised his hand slightly, and pointed at the orchid.

A mellow woody air, attached to the orchid, immediately made the orchid full of vitality and bloomed instantly.

At this moment, Fang Yuan flew up from the bottom of the mountain, flew straight up the peak, and laid down a large array around the main hall early to isolate the mana fluctuations and sounds.

When he was down the mountain, he had already smelled some abnormal aura, and this time when he came up, he was ready to make a move.

But I didn't expect that in the hall, although the atmosphere was somewhat depressing, it seemed peaceful.

Chen Xuanang, the patriarch of the Qingyang Sect, was also slowly getting up from the futon at this time, and walked towards Fang Yuan, with a faint smile on his face, a long sigh, and said with a smile: "Five years of hard work will pay off, and the leader of the Six Paths of our Qingyang Sect is back!"
