Chapter 1251 Cold Blood

I don't know when it started, but Taixu Palace slowly changed. Maybe it was when Yu Hao rebelled, or maybe it was earlier.

When Lu Heng was alone, he often asked himself why and how it could happen.

He didn't get the answer. The answer was given by Baijie Taoist. On the day when he learned that Yu Yao was dead, Baijie Taoist gave him the reason in person before he asked.

For Taixu Palace, and for all living beings in the human world.

Lu Heng was convinced by this reason. How many talented people were trapped and killed in the immortal gate, and some people were sacrificed in exchange for the opportunity to become immortals in the world. Although this account was distressing, it was still extremely worthwhile.

Even if the sacrificed people included Tianyi Daozun, Li Chuyi, his apprentice, and even the old ancestor of Wanshan, it was worth it. They were heroes who could sacrifice small righteousness for great righteousness, whether they were willing or not.

Of course, the most important point was that his daughter was not among them.

He had always protected Xiaoyu very well.

Therefore, he turned a blind eye to many things. Even if his daughter saw something wrong, he always pretended to be confused.

In Taixu Palace, the ancestor is the sky. As long as he and his daughter are safe, the ancestor can do whatever he wants. He doesn't want to and can't resist.

Ambitions? The dignity of the head of the sect?

He had already lost these things when Yu Hao rebelled against the sect, and they were even smoothed when Baijie Taoist indulged Yuan Qu's recklessness. Now he has long been indifferent to them and only wants peace.

However, now there is no peace. At that moment, the indifference of Baijie Taoist was a nightmare that he had always been suppressing in his heart. Now that the nightmare has come true, how can he be the same as before?

The most important thing is that he can't see through Baijie Taoist.

On the surface, he said that he was righteous, but Lu Heng always felt that this old man had something else in his heart. He didn't seem to be so fanatical about becoming an immortal. The purpose of using Tianyi Daozun to unify the three realms didn't seem to be as simple as he said.

This was especially true today. Although his attitude was flawless, Lu Heng, who was familiar with him, still saw the strangeness in his eyes at some moments.

Under the respectful surface, there was a look of contempt, and even a hint of ridicule and contempt. In his eyes, the two immortal ancestors seemed to be just two powerful monkeys. Although they had amazing brute force, they could only tumble and dance with his guidance, unaware that they were being used.

Lu Heng even suspected that Li Chuyi's visit was within the expectations of Baijie Taoist, and that releasing the spiritual immortals was also his intentional connivance, otherwise how could he end up in such a situation, one crazy and the other confused.

His question today was not only a vent of grief and anger, but also an attitude, an answer to whether to go or stay.

Tan Xiu was a fool who only knew how to practice, and his brain was not worth caring about. Zhao Yi was different. He had served Baijie Taoist for so many years, and he knew Baijie Taoist's thoughts much better than he, the head of the sect.

Zhao Yi was silent, stared for a long time and thought for several times, and finally sighed softly.

"Master, why bother?"

Lu Heng's heart turned cold, and he held the long sword tightly and said in a deep voice: "My daughter is more important than anything else!"

"No one wants to harm her. The ancestor has his own reasons. You think too much."

"You said the same thing when Yao'er left, but what happened?"

Zhao Yi was silent.

"I want to leave here."

Lu Heng raised his long sword slightly.

"I don't want to betray the sect, I just want to send my daughter out in person. After this matter is over, I will resign from the position of master. Whether it is Taixu Peak or Lingxiao Peak, I can find a three-acre house in Tianmen Mountain to live in, and concentrate on teaching my daughter to practice. Is that okay?"

This is to retreat bravely and put myself under house arrest. Zhao Yi naturally understood and frowned deeply.

"Master, what are you doing? You..."

"Yes, or no?"

Lu Heng interrupted him and asked again. Zhao Yi said helplessly: "I can't decide on this matter. I need the nod from the ancestor. How about this, let's put it on hold for now, solve the things here first, and then talk about it later, what do you think?"

"Okay! Let's go!"

With a nod, Lu Heng was about to leave with Xiaoyu, but Zhao Yi hurriedly stopped him.

"Master, I'll take Xiaoyu out."

"Haha, hahahahaha!"

After laughing wildly for a few times, Lu Heng raised his long sword horizontally, his face darkened.

Zhao Yi didn't want to do it, so he turned his head to look at Baijie Taoist to find an idea, but before Baijie Taoist responded, Tan Xiu took action first.

He stretched out his hand to grab the sword, but Lu Heng didn't even look at it and slashed back. Tan Xiu relied on his cultivation and didn't dodge at all, and pinched the blade with his hand.

"Let go!"

The dark force attacked along the blade, and Lu Heng's sleeves exploded on the spot. He was afraid of hurting Xiaoyu, so he didn't dare to release the force. He desperately urged his magic power to counteract the dark force.

"Don't even think about it!"

With a cold shout, he dragged the long sword horizontally, and the blade infused with magic power burst out with a buzzing sound. Tan Xiu didn't want to hide, but his heart suddenly trembled, and he instinctively felt a trace of dangerous breath. When he withdrew his hand, he was a beat slower, and a deep bloody wound that could be seen from the tiger's mouth ran across the palm.

The severe pain in his palm did not make Tan Xiu angry, but he took it seriously as if he had met an opponent. He drew his sword and was about to fight back, but he felt someone attacking from behind.

"You are all my believers, I can't let you die."

The voice of Lingxian made the faces of the three people change, and they no longer cared about fighting each other, and they dispersed at the first time.

"Go, capture him!" How could Lingxian let them run away? He raised his hand and pointed at Tan Xiu, and then he rushed towards Lu Heng and Xiaoyu.

As he pointed, a figure suddenly rushed out. Tan Xiu's face changed with horror. This person was none other than the Immortal Ancestor Yun Jing.

Before Tan Xiu could think of how to respond, he saw Yunjing turn around and hit Lingxian with a palm. There was a trace of clarity in his fanatical eyes, and the clarity contained full of hatred.

"Monster, don't mess with my mind!"

"Damn it, you can't even educate a fake immortal!"

The spirit fairy secretly hated that if it hadn't been injured by the Immortal Falling Talisman earlier, Yun Jing would never have been able to struggle at this moment.

"Forget it, I'll let you go for now. I'll teach you later after I recover a little!"

Ignoring Yun Jing, Lingxian rushed straight towards Lu Heng. He is a Vow Power Immortal, and his practice is completely different from that of ordinary monks. In addition to enlightenment, the improvement of his realm can only rely on the wish power of believers. He can control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but he can only use it as an external force, and cannot use it for himself like ordinary monks. The power can be manipulated at will.

His method of recovery is very simple, just develop believers. Among the people present, Xiao Yu has the lowest cultivation level and the simplest mind. However, the power of wish does not depend on the cultivation level but only the piety of the person. As long as he can control Xiao Yu and bewitch him to become his believer, he will definitely be able to obtain many pure wishes. He then used his power to teach everyone present one by one, and the last two pseudo-immortals could no longer escape from his grasp.

Lu Heng didn't know his purpose, but he knew that he wanted to harm Xiao Yu. He was so angry that he had no way to resist him, so he could only dance the knife so tightly that it was as airtight as a wall, hoping to use the energy of the knife to fend off the spirit fairy.

Behind Lingxian, several of Yunquan's immortal spells fell into the air. He ducked and approached but did not dare, for fear of being controlled by him again like before. Seeing his persistence, Xiao Yu felt something in her heart. She didn't understand why he was like this, but she also came up with a clever trick.

"Kill her!"

Pointing at Xiaoyu, Yunquan said urgently: "That girl is sure to be of great use to this monster. Kill her and it will be difficult for this monster to do evil again!"

The move was clever, but it was too poisonous. Lu Heng's eyes turned red on the spot, and he wished he could kill this inhumane old ghost with his own hands.

Is this a fairy?

Is this his immortal ancestor?

I bother!

Lu Heng ignored him and tried his best to get out of the way. Yun Quan became anxious and angry when he saw his disobedience. He raised his formation flag and pressed towards Lu Heng.

"Thunder and fire, rise!"

The sound of thunder was rolling, the waves were scorching, and the thunder from the sky came together with the flames on the ground. Lu Heng was suddenly caught in the middle like stuffing.

He sacrificed several magic weapons to protect him, and used his long knife to cut a narrow path to escape. Lu Heng protected Xiao Yu tightly and rushed out. When he rushed out, Xiao Yu was unharmed, but his skin and flesh were scorched black.

"Asshole, he is my daughter!!!"

"So what!"

Mobilizing the formation flag and chasing after him, Yunjing said angrily: "Sacrifice your life for justice and die to get what you deserve. If you can kill this monster, it's worth it even if you die! If he doesn't die, the entire Taixu Palace will not be at peace, and she will die as well. Can't you understand this!" You are a disciple of Taixu Palace, and you are also the leader of Taixu Palace. You must take into account the overall situation in everything, and don’t miss important matters because of petty feelings!”

"Fart! You asked me to kill my daughter, are you dreaming!"

Lu Heng was so angry that he started swearing. He didn't understand whether this old guy was born cruel, or whether he had become an immortal for too long and lost his humanity.

Yunjing is not inhumane, he is just frightened by the immortals, and his words are not alarmist. With such a demon outside who can bewitch even him, how can Taixu Palace be at peace, and how can the entire human world be at peace?

The formation flag returned to its position, and the killing move was about to be unleashed again, but the spirit fairy came out halfway, shaking the spiritual energy of the world and making it impossible to store the formation flag.

"You want my followers in front of me, kid, are you too disrespectful of me?"

Several times of urging failed, and the immortal power of the array flag itself was not enough to block Lu Heng's actions. Yun Jing became anxious and waved at Zhao Yi and Tan Xiu.

"He can't do it, you two help him do it, quickly!"

Zhao Yi was a little hesitant, but Tan Xiu immediately took action. He originally didn't like Lu Heng who wanted to rebel against the sect, but now how could he hesitate when the Immortal Ancestor spoke?

"Tan Xiu, how dare you!"

Lu Heng dodged and retreated quickly, looking at Tan Xiu furious.

It is a serious crime to harm fellow sects and even Taixu Palace, which is prohibited by the law, especially for younger disciples. Even if the ancestor commits this crime, he will be hunted down by Mo Tang, let alone Tan Xiu, the quasi-ancestor who is not the ancestor?

It should be noted that although Yu Yao's death is inseparable from Taoist Baijie, because it was not Baijie himself who did the trick, and there is no concrete evidence to prove that his death was planned by Taoist Baijie, he was exempted from this crime. But Yuan Qiu was different. Taoist Baijie killed so happily just because of the sect rules. Therefore, if someone knew the truth about the sudden death of the master of the silent hall, they couldn't say anything because Yuan Qiu violated the sect rules first. Even if someone wants to complain about it, there is no reason.

And this was also the reason why Zhao Yi did not take action. Although there were not many people present, there were not many, and he was also afraid of being criticized.

Tan Xiu was the same, otherwise he wouldn't have just taken his weapon to restrain him. But now because of this damn Immortal Ancestor's words, he actually ignored the ten thousand years of Taixu Palace's iron rules. Does he still have sense?

"Zhao Yi, as the leader of Mo Hall, you know best how guilty you are of killing your fellow disciples! I have not betrayed the sect, especially Xiao Yu. Don't you care if he does this?!"

Zhao Yi pursed his lips and said nothing.

The time when Immortal Ancestor Yunquan became an immortal can be traced back to a long time ago. At that time, Taixu Palace was not called Taixu Palace, but Taixu Dao, which had the same name as the method of suppressing the sect. He didn't know if the sect rules at that time were different from now, but he knew that it was absolutely not allowed under today's sect rules.

But Yunquan was the Immortal Ancestor of Taixu Palace after all, and he dared not disobey his orders. As the head of Motang, he was the most powerful executor of the sect rules. Zhao Yi was in a dilemma and decided not to help either side.

The most important thing was that Baijie Taoist did not speak.

No matter how powerful the Immortal Ancestor was, he did not have as much prestige as Baijie Taoist in his heart. He did not want to cause trouble for the ancestor because of this matter. In his heart, he did not want to see Xiaoyu, who he had watched grow up, die tragically in his hands.

He was not Yuan Qu, he could not be so ungrateful and heartless.
