Chapter 2291 Reunion After 5 Years
Chapter 2291 Reunion After Fifteen Years
The Gold Plains possess such a vast area, such astonishing wealth, and such abundant spiritual energy, yet Mount Ling gets only a small share, inevitably causing it to feel resentful and frustrated.
In recent years, immortals and demons have entered the mortal world one after another, and the overall power of Mount Ling has increased. Sometimes, they also try to sabotage Cang Yan.
The Qixia Sect was most likely used as a pawn by Mount Ling.
"Let's get back to business," Liu Qingdao said solemnly. "You must return all the Xuanjing you stole from Cangyan. In addition, you will be fined double as compensation for threatening the livelihood of Wei'an City, killing the great demon Wu Chuanjia, and the injuries caused by Tianwu earlier. After leaving the pass, Qixia Sect shall not rule over any territory, nor shall it imprison or enslave the people. Whether you open a sect in a town or in the wilderness, you must report to Bingyuan Division and register it."
The Qixia Sect stole over a thousand catties of Xuanjing using the Heavenly Centipede. If the compensation is doubled, then nearly three thousand catties will have to be returned.
Upon hearing this number, the members of the Qixia Sect all gasped in shock.
They targeted Cang Yan because of the shortage of Xuanjing. Furthermore, activating the Golden Core to block the Luohe River was very energy-intensive, and most of the Xuanjing was used there. Otherwise, how could they have stopped the Cang Yan army and civilians from digging and digging?
This will force the Qixia Sect to take out more than two thousand catties of Xuanjing, which is going to be a disaster!
As for Liu Qingdao's other demands, we'll discuss them later. Elder Chu exclaimed, "Qixia Sect has only recently emerged from seclusion; where would they get so many Xuan Crystals!"
Aunt Zhu and the others all cast disdainful glances at them.
They've all used the Xuanjing to deal with Wei'an City, haven't they?
Yuan Xilin raised his hand to interrupt Elder Chu: "Although Old Chu was a bit impulsive, what he said is true. Elder Liu, could we use the Giant Spirit God as collateral first, and then slowly gather the Xuan Crystals?"
Since the Giant Spirit God has already been taken by Liu Qingdao, it seems unlikely that he will be returned to him anytime soon, so it's better to remain single.
"Using such a precious treasure as collateral is more than enough." As expected of the sect leader, he knows what he's doing. Liu Qingdao laughed, "Completing various tasks assigned by Cang Yan, such as controlling clouds and rain, creating magical artifacts and spirits, subduing demons and monsters, providing disaster relief and fighting enemies, etc., can also be counted as merit to offset the debt. Many immortal sects and demon races in Cang Yan also shoulder these tasks."
Qixia Sect had just emerged from seclusion when it was burdened with heavy debts, and it was unknown how long it would take to work for Cang Yan to pay them off.
However, this was also the Nine Nether Emperor's punishment for it. Only by teaching these ambitious immortal sects and demon races to recognize reality could Cang Yan maintain the dynamic balance within the country.
However, Liu Qingdao secretly breathed a sigh of relief after successfully subduing the Qixia Sect today.
Although this immortal sect only has three immortals, it is indeed difficult to deal with, not to mention that there are people behind it causing trouble. If it weren't for Aunt Zhu capturing the Heavenly Centipede and obtaining information about the Qixia Sect beforehand, and if it weren't for the Nine Nether Emperor personally coming to oversee the situation and tailoring a plan specifically for the Qixia Sect, Wei'an City would definitely have suffered losses tonight.
Yuan Xilin remembered something and said proactively, "Ah, the gold core hasn't been put away yet! I'll move it from Feilai Peak right away to restore the water supply to Weian City!"
He did some quick calculations, then suddenly stopped and his expression changed.
"how?"
Yuan Xilin's fingertips moved rapidly a few times, his expression becoming increasingly strange.
“The Golden Core…” he murmured, “My connection with the Golden Core has been severed; I can’t sense its presence!”
"What?" Elder Chu was startled. "How is this possible?"
Aunt Zhu said lazily from behind, "Could it have been stolen?"
Elder Chu shook his head like a rattle-drum: "The Golden Core is one of the treasures left behind by Yuanshan. It took Sect Leader Yuan fifty years to establish a connection with it and to be able to control it to do things."
“But they’ve already lost contact.” Aunt Zhu analyzed rationally, “Either the baby grew legs and ran away, or it ran away with someone.”
Yuan Xilin was in a state of turmoil and spoke carelessly: "It has taken root at the foot of Feilai Peak! If it could be stolen so easily, how come Cang Yan has been unable to do anything about it these past few days?"
What he feared was that if the Golden Core got out of control and he couldn't restore the water supply to Luohe, how would Cang Yan deal with the Qixia Sect?
Just then, Weng Xing suddenly pointed downwards and said urgently:
"Hey, look at Luohe!"
￥￥￥￥￥
While the Qixia Sect and the Bingyuan Division were locked in a fierce battle in the Mirror World, the Mountain Moving Project in Luohe was still underway.
Several golden-armored generals dug down three feet, and the mountain peak grew up two feet.
Although it was slow, the height of Feilai Peak was gradually decreasing.
The construction site was still bustling with activity. The rain had stopped, and the crescent moon weaved through the clouds, occasionally casting a soft glow.
"Who?" Elder Rongshan Zongdao, who was in charge of supervising the site, suddenly sensed something and turned around sharply, only to see a familiar figure appear out of nowhere and slowly walk towards them.
The hilltop was rough and uneven, making it difficult to walk, but the man crossed it in just a few steps.
Elder Dao immediately led everyone in bowing: "Your Majesty!"
"Stop work for now." He Lingchuan waved his hand and said casually, "Everyone, leave Feilai Peak and do not linger."
"Yes."
Following the Emperor's decree, within fifty breaths, all personnel on Flying Peak were evacuated, and even the golden-armored general stopped what he was doing and sat down on the ground.
He Lingchuan looked around at the tranquil surroundings.
Then he flipped his palm over, and something appeared suspended two feet above his palm:
A small, portable sand table.
The model now displays the entire Feilai Peak, almost a scaled-down version of the real mountain, with even glacial water flowing at its foot. However, the Feilai Peak on the model is shrouded in a faint, net-like golden light, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
He Lingchuan looked up at the sky. In reality, golden netting occasionally flashed across the top of the mountains, synchronized with the sand table, and then disappeared.
“This is one of the most treasured possessions of the Mian Sect, the Heavenly Net.” He seemed to be talking to thin air, without deliberately raising his voice, but his voice easily spread to every corner of Feilai Peak. “It covers the entire Feilai Peak. As long as I don’t remove it, not even a mosquito can fly out. Furthermore, it has locked onto the golden core underground. No matter whether the golden core gets bigger or smaller, it will change accordingly.”
The unspoken message is that the entire Flying Peak is shrouded in a net of heaven and earth, making it impossible for anyone on the peak to escape.
He paused for a moment before continuing:
"Come out, Cang Yan never neglects his honored guests."
With no one around, the voice of the Nine Nether Emperor echoed across the quiet mountaintop.
His response was only silence.
"Since you're already here, why hide your face?" He Lingchuan spoke again, but this time he included a name:
"National Preceptor Shuangye!"
He used a bit of his true power, and so his name echoed through the mountains several times.
Imperial Preceptor Shuangye...
Frosty leaves...
From the shadowy valley, a figure slowly approached, wearing a pearl crown and a blue-gold robe, his sleeves billowing as if a banished immortal had descended to earth.
In the desolate wilderness, he somehow managed to walk a golden road.
Who else could it be but the Imperial Preceptor Shuangye?
He walked until he was about 15 feet in front of He Lingchuan before stopping.
"He Xiao, long time no see." His smile and voice were as warm as a March breeze. "Oh right, you should be called the Nine Nether Emperor now."
