Mortal: The Heavenly Spiritual Root that Begins from the Demonic Path

Looking at Yi Jue who was unharmed, the old monster Qiong's already somewhat waning momentum dropped a little bit.

"Boy, what a weird method."

"I admit defeat, old man."

As he said that, he actually withdrew. Yi Jue tried to intercept him several times, but was hit back by the invisible needle every time.

In the end, the old monster used various escape methods to gracefully leave the Jinguyuan battlefield. The first thing Yi Jue did when he returned to Jinguyuan was to roar.
"Who dares to stop me?"

Many Jindan cultivators on the battlefield saw Feng Tianyang and Old Monster Qiong going to fight with Yi Jue, but now the two cultivators are no longer there, while Yi Jue is still on the battlefield. The meaning is self-evident.

After hearing this, the Jindan cultivators from the seven sects were actually afraid to step forward.

Among the monks fighting below, looking at Yi Jue's young face and supreme demeanor, the reputation of the Lord of Tianshu City began to be spread crazily.

While the monks here were shocked by Yi Jue's battle record, a major event happened on another battlefield.

On a deserted mountain, a dozen elderly people were having a tea party.

However, if people knew the identities of these old men, the entire Tiannan would probably tremble, because every cultivator here is a Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, contrary to the Nascent Soul battle imagined by Yi Jue and others, this place seemed to be quite harmonious, at least on the surface.

"Master Yunlu, I wonder if the best-of-five system we discussed earlier is still valid?"

Said a middle-aged woman who had crow's feet at the corners of her eyes and a head full of white hair, but still looked charming.

Yun Lu's face was a little gloomy, because it was a best-of-five match as agreed before. After winning the first battle, in the second battle which should have been a sure win, a cultivator from Tianque Fort actually blew up a magic weapon by himself, catching the Nascent Soul cultivator from Tiansha Sect off guard. Not only was his magical power broken, but his mind was also disturbed.

As a result, the advantage that had been built up was lost in one day, and they were suppressed in the following battles until they lost the game in the end.

The situation instantly became a one-to-one tie.

But thinking about the next game, Yun Lu's frown relaxed, and then she gently waved the folding fan in her hand.

"Master Lingyue, what are you talking about? When two countries go to war, credibility comes first. The next battle will be handed over to the Yuling Sect. I'll take care of you, fellow Daoist."

The Nascent Soul cultivator who came from the Yuling Sect this time was an old man named Fu, the sect's supreme elder. He was quite old, and the aura he exuded was not very strong, but as soon as he stepped forward, a flash of light appeared in the ring of his spirit pet, and a huge scorpion appeared, and its aura had obviously reached the Nascent Soul stage.

"Level 8 demon beasts can already speak human language. This scorpion is emerald green, with two tails and four wings. Its tail is black and extremely poisonous. Is it a two-tailed human-faced scorpion?"

An old man spoke, although his tone was a little uncertain, he looked at the scorpion in front of him with a serious expression. The two-tailed human-faced scorpion ranked 29th on the list of strange insects. It is extremely rare to cultivate it to this level. Most Nascent Soul cultivators would probably die in regret.

The old man's expression became visibly solemn, and Master Lingyue had discussed this before. If they were to go up against the Yuling Sect, perhaps only Lingshou Mountain would have the confidence to defeat the enemy.

Otherwise, once the Yuling Sect's spiritual pets are deployed, ordinary Nascent Souls will easily be tricked without knowing the details of the spiritual pets.

The old man who spoke was one of the two ancestors of Lingshou Mountain, his name was Yao.

Seeing the old man surnamed Yao reveal the details of the two-tailed human-faced scorpion, the old man surnamed Fu laughed and said, "Young man Yao, I didn't expect that after all these years, you still remember this two-tailed human-faced scorpion."

Although the old man surnamed Yao was not young, he did not get angry when facing the boy. The man in front of him was more than a thousand years old. Before the Spirit Beast Mountain was completely independent, the old man surnamed Yao had discussed the method of cultivating spirit pets with this man.

Master Lingyue saw that the old man surnamed Yao did not come forward for a long time, which was obviously inconsistent with what they had discussed before. He then thought of the relationship between Yuling Sect and Lingshou Mountain, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Elder Yao, now that you have recognized the two-tailed human-faced scorpion, do you have any concerns?"

Unexpectedly, the old man surnamed Yao hesitated for a moment, then slowly stood up, walked behind Yun Lu, and said with a guilty look on his face,
"Master Lingyue, I admit defeat in this battle."

After saying that, he found a seat and sat down slowly, then poured himself a cup of tea and started drinking it, as if he was not the one who had just spoken.

Just this light sentence was like throwing a huge stone into this peaceful situation, causing huge waves.

"Yao Yuanli, do you know what you are talking about?"

Ling Yue, who had just looked pleased with herself, could no longer maintain her composure and cursed angrily,
"Your Spiritual Beast Mountain and my seven sects have been friends for thousands of years, and now you are actually going to do something like betrayal?"

However, the old man surnamed Yao said nothing, as if he had not heard it.

Yunlu was not surprised by all this and said with a smile,

"Master Lingyue, please don't be angry. It's just one round. There are still two rounds to go. Yue Kingdom still has a chance."

"It's just a Spirit Beast Mountain. In addition to the seven sects, there are still six sects in Yue Kingdom, which is exactly the same as the six sects of my Demonic Path."

Master Lingyue became even more furious when he heard this, but he was helpless at the moment. It was as if all his strength was drained away. You have to know that the power of Lingshou Mountain is not weak, and they also have two Nascent Soul cultivators.

Although it is inferior to the Yanyue Sect, it is still far stronger than the other sects.

Master Lingyue was not only angry about losing the bet, but also about the blatant rebellion of Lingshou Mountain, which obviously made the already precarious situation of Yue State even worse.

The seven sects were not united to begin with, and now that the second oldest sect has openly rebelled, it is a devastating blow to their determination to fight against the evil sect.

As expected, in the next round, Linghu Laogui from the Huangfeng Valley on the Yue State side began to reserve his strength. His cultivation was almost top-notch among the early Nascent Soul stage, but he was at a disadvantage after the battle.

He didn't even use many of his own spiritual treasures before he was defeated after a fight, and then he chose to admit defeat without hesitation.

At this point, before Yunlu and Lingyue's turn for the final round, the outcome had already been decided. The seven sects had lost three out of five games and had lost this Nascent Soul battle.

According to the agreement between the two parties, they will no longer be able to take action in the next war, even if the mountain gate is destroyed or the Taoist school is ruined.

Originally, if they had won this battle, they would have had a chance to defend the Kingdom of Yue until the situation changed, but it was obvious that they had lost this opportunity. However, the hateful eyes of the crowd were not focused on Linghu, but on the old man named Yao from Lingshou Mountain.

After all, what the Yuanyings were thinking at this moment was probably similar to Linghu's thoughts. The general trend was over. (End of this chapter)
