Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 437 Ability
Tie Dan nodded in agreement.

"Oh, Qin Baichuan's Emei Sect? Of course. He can take down a peak master with one punch from the left and a demon god with one punch from the right. How many punches did your Dharma King withstand?"

But Venerable Dongfang clearly didn't want to talk to him about the shameful thing that the Dharma King had been killed with a single punch, so he took the initiative to change the subject.
"Hey kid, where did you come from?"

"Naturally, I've come to join the army."

Tie Dan pointed to the barbecue.

"Back then, I was chased all the way to Yinshan by the Six Doors and besieged. I finally found an opportunity to fight back and kill the pursuers."

After recovering from his injuries and weathering the storm, he came out and learned that the Heavenly King had crossed the Gen River and was sweeping across the Central Plains.

I heard that the three noble families had all been expelled from the capital region, so I thought I'd come back and try my luck.

"After all, it's freezing cold up north, and there's absolutely no chance of finding immortals... Do you really need to use it all up just to refine a pill? Could you give me a share?"

The Venerable One from the East snorted coldly, and a fiery hand emerged from the campfire, throwing out a leg.

"please."

Tie Dan didn't stand on ceremony. He cut strips of meat with his knife and ate them while staring intently at the dragon corpse burning fiercely in the fire.

"You know what he is, right?"

"Hmph, dragon seed, huh."

Venerable Dongfang glanced at Tie Dan's arms.
"These princes and nobles are truly blessed by destiny and favored by the heavens. Each of them possesses immortal bones and extraordinary talent, making them the best choice for alchemy and medicine."

Tie Dan gnawed on the meat.
"So, Venerable One, you plan to use this calamity to exterminate the entire Stone Dragon family, act on behalf of Heaven, rid the people of this scourge, and incidentally refine a couple of pills to enjoy?"

"Hehehe." "Giggle." "Hehehe."

The surrounding blood-red figures burst into laughter, like a forest rustling in a gentle breeze, seemingly finding Liu Xiaoliu's words quite witty and humorous.

Tie Dan didn't care about the ridicule from the passersby, and pretended not to know, asking...
"But I've heard that the Divine Cult has always been at odds with the Demon Palace. I wonder why they're helping the Three Enclosures out of this mess? Wouldn't it be better to just let them commit suicide and destroy themselves, and stand by and watch?"

The Venerable One from the East did not laugh, but simply said,
"That's right. We members of the Holy Church can ignore everything else, as long as we fight against the Demon Palace, we will be rewarded."

However, this time it had nothing to do with the main ideas of my sect; it was simply a matter of fulfilling someone's request and doing their duty.

Tie Dan raised his eyebrows.

"Entrusted by someone? Who? That governor of Suiyang? What makes him so special that the cult would risk their lives for him?"

The Venerable One from the East sneered.
"Capital? What, you join my sect and offer up the blood and human sacrifices of forty cities in the Central Plains, isn't that enough?"

Even someone as arrogant as Shi Jiao wouldn't be willing to sacrifice tens of millions of people to my sect; he wanted to keep them for his own enjoyment.

But Zhang Suiyang dared to risk everything and gamble everything, putting himself in the game to defy fate.

He orchestrated the scheme, he set up the formation, he gave the orders, and he killed the people.

He took on the calamities that others dared not touch, shouldered the responsibilities that others dared not do, and bore the karmic consequences that others dared not provoke.

This calamity has been created, absolving everyone else of responsibility; all the mistakes, the karmic consequences of killing, have fallen upon him alone.

"Tell me, isn't it worth my full investment, with my brothers supporting him and respectfully calling him the Dharma King?"

Oh, so that's the kind of person he is. Even though we've never met, Tie Dan understands him now.

So Tiedan thought for a moment and asked,
"So if I can offer more livestock to the religion, you can also be used by me and do things for me?"

Venerable One of the East, "Hahahaha!"

Blood Shadow, "Hehehehehe!"

Tie Dan said seriously, "A world the size of Taiji Heaven has a population of about ten billion. Would the Venerable One be interested?"

Venerable Dongfang and Blood Shadow stopped laughing. "That guy's got a screw loose..."

Tie Dan suggested, "Shall I give you a few more?"

The Venerable of the East rolled his eyes and said, "Don't be so extreme."

Tie Dan was speechless. "No, I really do..."

But the Venerable One of the East had already raised his hand, and with a hiss, branded a bloody handprint onto the broadsword.

"Enough with the nonsense, Liu Xiaoliu. You have indeed made great contributions to my sect, but since my true self is not here, it is inconvenient to settle accounts with you."

Now that you've been unwittingly caught in this trap, I'll show you mercy this time and spare your dog's life so you can escape. Now get out of here!

Iron Egg's Strange Path

"What, Venerable One, why don't you just take me to Suiyang to join your group?"

The Venerable One from the East snorted coldly.
"What kind of group are you joining? Are you looking for death? I've already said that this matter, even if the sky falls, it has nothing to do with the Divine Cult. Even if the world turns upside down and the sea dries up and the rocks crumble, it's all a tribulation that the Dharma King has to overcome alone!"

Suiyang has now become the pivot of the grand formation, a place of utter death. Success in the Dao means life, failure means annihilation! If you don't want to die in this godforsaken place with your woman, you'd better get out of here! Just looking at you annoys me!

Then, Venerable Dongfang refused to waste any more words with him. He grabbed with his blood-red hand, which transformed into five strands of crimson wind to protect him. He then wrapped Tie Dan and Shi Yu up and threw them out of Liangdu City.

Tie Dan was speechless. He hadn't expected that this Venerable Dongfang would be so kind-hearted despite his cold exterior. He even took care of his old friend and was willing to help him on his way.

"vomit--!"

After a night of turbulent travel, surrounded by mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and subjected to the mental pollution of a group of Blood Gods at close range, Shi Yu could no longer bear it. She struggled to get off Tie Dan and vomited violently, even bringing up bile.

Tie Dan ignored her, gazing at the city gradually being reduced to barren hills and giant tombs by the blood-red wind and sea of ​​fire, silently calculating in his mind.

As Venerable Dongfang just said, this calamity in Suiyang has nothing to do with anyone else; it all rests on the shoulders of that newly appointed Dharma King.

Therefore, this battle is not about a cult fighting against a heavenly king; it is his personal tribulation.

Judging by the odds, it was probably that the governor of Suiyang, seeing the Heavenly King's army pressing in, the Immortal Palace utterly defeated, and the land beyond saving, single-handedly defied fate, forcibly initiating a calamity by sacrificing forty cities and hundreds of millions of people in the Eastern Kingdom to the Divine Sect, transforming their blood into gods. Whether it succeeded or not, he had taken the opportunity to ambush the Heavenly King, dragging the unwitting rebel army to their deaths along with him.

Of course, the cult was happy to have both food and profit. If the mission succeeded, they would gain another supreme being out of thin air. If the mission failed, they could watch the Demon Palace fight to the death and suffer heavy casualties. So they provided only a tiny bit of help.

In other words, although the members of the Divine Cult were clearly setting up formations and slaughtering people in the battle of Suiyang, they had actually distanced themselves from the very beginning. They could come and go as they pleased. If they won, they would take all the spoils; if they lost, they could simply slip away unscathed, suffering no loss whatsoever.

For the Celestial Palace, waging war in the heart of the Central Plains meant certain defeat, no matter how they fought. Whether the Heavenly King's army won or Suiyang held, it would all be for the Celestial Palace's resources, the blood of the common people, and ultimately, a living hell where only the common folk would suffer.

That's why Tie Dan's situation is so difficult; it's simply unsolvable.

Can you ask Boss Shi and the governor of Suiyang to stop fighting? Can you let them hold hands, be happy together, and stay together forever?
Moreover, he also had to save the common people.

Don't joke around. The common people are the most hopeless. In a battle for supremacy, any bear can survive, but only the deer is destined to die.

Regardless of who wins or loses, whether we fight or not, the common people will die; the only difference is whether more or fewer people die.

So Tie Dan could certainly say that in order to keep the boss in check and prevent the Taiyin Demon Palace from destroying the world, he should first help Shi Jiao take down Suiyang. But the defender of Suiyang also had something to say.

Look at what this beast has been doing in the north of Genhe! Do you dare say that if the Shi family gains power, the common people will survive? They might as well fight to the death here!
The disease has penetrated to the spinal cord; the only option left is to cut flesh and gouge out bone. If the sacrifice of forty cities can wipe out these rebel leaders who are wreaking havoc on the world, isn't it really a worthwhile trade-off?

And the key point is that he wasn't wrong; he could indeed win the gamble on the battle of Suiyang.

Judging from the development of the situation seen in the dream, wasn't the boss beaten so badly that his Dao heart collapsed and he surrendered?

Although the eastern country was sacrificed, the Three Kingdoms were indeed given a much-needed respite, and the world was preserved.

If that stone dragon is truly the root cause of chaos in the world, then this problem has been basically solved in Suiyang.

It's a pity that this Suiyang Guardian is trapped in the game and can't roam freely like Tiedan, which makes his vision a bit limited. He also hasn't received any Xuanmen training and can't foresee that this Stone Dragon is at most just one of the players, and not even a big deal. There are a whole bunch of much bigger troubles waiting in line outside the game.

Moreover, things have come to this point. The calamity has begun, the battle array has been set up, two cities have already been destroyed, so many rebels have died, and so many Blood Gods are waiting to feast in the heavens.

Even if Tie Dan could actually fight his way into Suiyang, break through the enemy lines, and meet the Mighty Dharma King to have a proper talk, it would be too late to undo the damage.

It seems that the only option left is to fight one battle and capture Suiyang.

But when you calculate it this way, it still doesn't seem right, does it?

With the Divine Sect's arrangement, how could the Heavenly King's mere hundreds of thousands of troops be enough to kill them?
If you calculate it this way, you can slaughter two cities in a single day and night. It would be a miracle if forty cities could even last this month. So how exactly did they manage to reach ten...?

"Wow!"

Before Tie Dan could figure things out and make a clear calculation, another unexpected event occurred!
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in the sky, and the sky brightened instantly, shining brilliantly! It was as if the sun had suddenly jumped out, and the night sky was blazing! It was as if someone had turned on the lights, and the sky and the ground were completely illuminated!

Then Tie Dan stared intently and saw a platinum star suddenly rise in the northwest sky!
The platinum star shone brightly, dazzlingly brilliant! It was like a giant flare leaping out from the horizon!

The vast starlight shines like a silver wheel, slowly ascending into the sky, its brilliance piercing through the heavens! In an instant, it arrives, hanging high in the vast sky!
In an instant, it seemed as if half of the thick smoke and blood-red clouds that filled the sky were dispersed by the brilliance of this white star! Even the night sky was torn open!
In the blink of an eye, a second white star flashed, also soaring through the sky like a rainbow, leaping across the heavens!

Then came the third! The fourth! In the end, there were six in total!

Six platinum stars! From all directions, they leaped onto the city walls! Completely surrounding Liangdu, the capital of the Eastern Kingdom!

Six dazzling white stars, a giant cluster of plasma lights, hang high in the night sky! Like shooting stars, they circle around the Genhe River!

A dazzling radiance, boundless light! A bright and clear glow, righteous and awe-inspiring!
The boundless morning light seemed to tear the night that had been blocking out the sun into pieces!

For a moment, the endless radiance seemed to illuminate the demonic scene of the pagoda-like hell!

The billowing smoke and dust and the raging demonic flames were all suppressed and annihilated by the bright light!

Rolling mountains of corpses and endless seas of blood—all revealed by the radiant light of the stars!

The deafening roars and wailing echoed throughout the city, but they all weakened in the blink of an eye!
It was as if, under the cold, flowing flames of those six platinum stars,
Those demons and monsters, those ghosts and monsters, all involuntarily covered their mouths and curled up.

They huddled their filthy bodies in the shadows, swallowing their screams of terror back down their throats.

Then, amidst the dazzling starlight in the sky, a middle-aged man's voice was heard, calmly reciting something as if it were right next to one's ear, its sound carrying for miles.

"I am Cangbi, a hermit from Mount Emei. Greetings to all fellow Daoists."

Suddenly, a crimson star flashed in the city, rising into the air in the same way, blooming with the same blood-red light, and no less powerful than any human.

With his own strength, he carved out a blood-red glow from the encirclement of those six stars, blotting out the sky!

"Ha! Who came to their deaths? It's the Seven Monsters of Emei!"

So, from a great distance, they could hear the Venerable One of the East shouting and spouting nonsense, which shook the mountains and the earth, and caused a thunderous roar.

"Hmph! If it were Old Man Cangsong himself, I might show him some respect! But you bunch of ugly, ignorant brats! You dare to come here seeking your own death!"

Then, within the white light, the hermit Cangbi remained silent for only a moment before speaking.

"So it is the Three Immortals of the East Sea, with Lord Wuzhong here in person. I have long heard that you attained enlightenment at Wuzhong Ridge in the Great Wilderness Mountain and are a grandmaster of the East Sea."

His mastery of the Magnetic Trap Technique was unparalleled. In his lifetime, he captured Mount Tai and Mount Yuanqiao, established a sect overseas, and was as famous as the Blood Register God, treating him as an equal.

Unexpectedly, after being reincarnated, he has fallen into depravity and become a disciple of others. Now, he even colludes with these evil demons and heretics, committing unjust killings in my Central Plains.

This is truly pathetic and lamentable; such behavior is utterly despicable to us, the younger generation of the Xuanmen (Taoist school).

"...Hmph! It's none of your business!"

Having his background exposed right away, the Eastern Supreme was clearly taken aback, and for a moment he gritted his teeth and said...

"Your name is Cang Bi? I've never heard of you before! Who are you? How do you know my background?"

The blue jade wall remained calm.

There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. There are many things you don't know.

The Eastern Supreme had no idea this guy could put on an act even better than himself, and he roared in anger.
"Good lad! Come! I want to see for myself what abilities your Emei sect has that you can eliminate a Dharma King of my Holy Sect!"

Cangbi is indifferent,

"Getting rid of him isn't really a skill."

The Eastern Supreme Breaks Defense and Howls

"Ow—!"

Then, demonic flames soared into the sky, and a sea of ​​blood surged to the heavens! Suddenly, the creature that had been roasting on the stove came back to life! It abruptly rose into the air!

Meanwhile, within the ruins of Liangdu, crimson clouds surged, blood flowed, and demonic flames roared!

Countless corpses and flesh, as if attracted by a magnet, and the boundless sea of ​​blazing blood, as if swept by a scorching wind, all attached themselves to the barbecue and merged with it!

In the blink of an eye, all the blood sacrifices and human offerings in the city were absorbed onto the roasting meat! They transformed into the blood essence of a hundred-foot-long demonic dragon! Soaring high into the clouds! Roaring with terrifying force!

Gazing at the sea of ​​blood that blotted out the sky, and at the hundred-foot-tall demonic dragon before him, the hermit hidden in the starlight spoke in a completely emotionless voice.

"If you're biting the bait, can you escape?"

"You brat!! The sea of ​​blood roars—!"

In that instant, the Eastern Supreme was enraged, and a blood dragon danced wildly! Demonic energy erupted! Rising against the tide, it shot straight towards the celestial stars!
"Nine Heavens Extreme Cloud Flash!!"

In that instant, Tie Dan disregarded everything, activated his attack in a flash, grabbed Shi Yu, and fled at top speed with all his might!
At that moment, the mountain man's voice, devoid of sorrow or joy, resentment or anger, was as calm and even as a sharp needle piercing the ear.

"The Supreme Dao Prophecy: Yin and Yang, the dust of the universe, all transformations return to the mystery, the celestial light vanishes in the calamity."

Then, the overwhelming, endless, and boundless light engulfed heaven and earth, the universe, mountains of corpses, seas of blood, clouds and smoke, and even the escape routes.
