Chapter 98 Ye Qing: In the Daluo Holy Land, kill the Daluo Sect Master! Overthrow a Holy Land!
Ye Qing frowned slightly, retracted the sword that had already flew out of his hand, and slowly turned around.
An old man in a white robe, with white hair and beard, and an immortal look, appeared behind them at some point, walking slowly towards them with his hands behind his back.
The old man was carrying a scroll on his back, with a purple crack between his eyebrows. His cultivation had reached the fourth level of the Ascension Realm, but he did not show any hostility or malice towards them.
Without waiting for Ye Qing to ask, Hong Chang showed a cold expression and shouted sternly, "Third Elder, don't stop me!"
"I usually respect you as a person."
"But today, no matter who dares to stop Ye Jianxian from saving my sister, I will make him fight with his life!"
"Third Elder?"
Ye Qing raised his eyebrows, with a hint of interest in his eyes.
"You are the third elder of Daluo Holy Land, Gu Daoyuan?"
Ye Qing had heard of Gu Daoyuan's name at first.
He is a veteran figure in the Daluo Holy Land. Although his cultivation is not up to the threshold of the Jiuzhou List, he has a deep understanding of formations and has mastered many ancient immortal formations that have been lost.
It is considered to be the top-notch formation. Looking across Kyushu, few can match it.
In addition, Gu Daoyuan learned from Confucius Temple and was also friends with the contemporary Confucian saint Mozi.
In terms of character and morality, he is unique in the Daluo Holy Land where all the people are villains.
"Elder Gu, nice to meet you. I am Ye Qing, and I have long heard of your name."
Ye Qing bowed slightly and said, "It is indeed not very upright to sneak into your Daluo Holy Land to save people."
"But I promised Miss Hongshang about this a long time ago."
"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. If Elder Gu wants to stop me, then I will have no choice but to ask for advice from Sanhe."
As he spoke, Ye Qing quickly changed the sword's momentum, transforming the sword light that could break the formation into the sword light that could attack, ready to launch an attack at any time.
Gu Daoyuan smiled slightly and said calmly, "Ye Jianxian, although your attainments in swordsmanship are high, it is clear that you do not know enough about battle formations."
"If you forcefully break the formation, the little girl inside will surely die."
Ye Qing frowned slightly: "Why?"
"This Black Wind Soul Locking Formation was set up by a sect master of Daluo himself. Compared to the ordinary Black Wind Soul Locking Formation, it also adds two more formation points and five formation paths to prevent someone from trying to break the formation to save people."
Gu Daoyuan smiled faintly and said, "With your swordsmanship, if you exert your full strength, the Black Wind Soul Locking Formation will definitely be broken."
"But before it breaks, the two array centers and five array paths will instantly break away from the original array diagram and transform into the purest spiritual power explosion, annihilating all the living beings imprisoned in the array into dust."
"No matter how powerful you are, Ye Jianxian, you will never be able to rescue people from the formation before the spiritual power explodes."
After hearing what Gu Daoyuan said, Ye Qing's expression instantly became a little solemn.
Compared to the ordinary Black Wind Soul-Locking Formation, the formation that imprisoned Hong Yun did have a richer and more intense spiritual energy, and contained a secret undercurrent.
Ye Qing was secretly a little frightened in his heart, and said, "Elder Gu's attainments in battle formations are indeed among the best in the world. Ye admires him."
"However, I don't quite understand why you came out to stop me instead of letting me rashly break the formation and trigger a spiritual power explosion, turning everything around into ashes?"
Gu Daoyuan did not hide anything and said directly: "Because, I want to discuss cooperation with you."
"Or rather, you are the only one who can help me do this right now."
Ye Qing did not rush to ask Gu Daoyuan about his needs, but asked calmly, "What can I get from this cooperation?"
Gu Daoyuan smiled faintly and said, "With your strength, I don't have any treasures that can catch your eye."
"The only reward I can offer you is to temporarily close the Black Wind Soul Locking Formation so that you can rescue the little girl inside."
Hearing this, Hong Chang's body trembled with excitement. To her, this condition was a priceless treasure that she could not refuse at all.
But Hong Chang still suppressed her excitement and did not speak abruptly.
Because she knew that the person who was currently negotiating with Gu Daoyuan was Ye Qing.
Ye Qing nodded slightly and continued, "So, what do you need me to do for you?"
Gu Daoyuan took a deep breath, and a hint of murderous coldness flashed in his kind and calm eyes.
"Help me...kill Mo Tiansha."
"Oh?"
The conditions stated by Gu Daoyuan were completely beyond Ye Qing's expectations.
Ye Qing was stunned for a moment before he couldn't help laughing and asked, "Elder Gu, why is this?"
"As the third elder of the Daluo Holy Land, why do you ask me, an outsider, to kill your sect leader?"
“Could it be that you hope that I will kill Mo Tiansha, and then you can take over and control the Daluo Holy Land?”
"This doesn't live up to your reputation, Gu Daoyuan."
Gu Daoyuan laughed dryly and shook his head.
"If I, Gu Daoyuan, have any intention of treason or usurpation, I will destroy my soul and never be able to reincarnate."
"The reason why I asked you to do me this favor is because I just discovered not long ago that Mo Tiansha has been nurturing a conspiracy for hundreds of years."
"He continuously plundered refugees from various dynasties in the four states in the name of recruiting laborers."
“But in reality, all these looted refugees were tricked by him into entering the God and Demon Well, where they became blood food for the monster Taotie. They were devoured and refined by Taotie, who used them to recuperate in order to break through the seal of the God and Demon Well.”
"Back then, the Confucian saint left the Immortal Sword Taibai in our Daluo Holy Land to seal the God and Demon Well and suppress the Taotie."
"With the huge power of the Immortal Sword Taibai, Taotie will not be able to make any unusual movements in the short term."
“However, if we continue to allow Mo Tiansha to feed it like this, one day, Taotie will definitely recover its strength, break through the seal, massacre the Daluo Holy Land, and cause great suffering to all the people in the nine provinces of the world.”
"In order to prevent this catastrophe from happening, the only way to stop this conspiracy is to kill Mo Tiansha!"
“After killing Mo Tiansha, I will use all the power of the Daluo Holy Land to rearrange the formation and completely seal the God and Demon Well. I will never let Taotie come out and bring disaster to the people!”
After listening to Gu Daoyuan's explanation, Ye Qing thought for a moment, frowned and said, "Elder Gu, I actually anticipated this on my way here."
"But I don't quite understand, what good will it bring to Mo Tiansha if he releases the Taotie in the God and Demon Well?"
"I don't know about this either."
Gu Daoyuan shook his head. "But, no matter what the purpose is, I will never allow this to happen."
"I will never allow the twelve seals that the Confucian saints used all their energy to set up to protect the human race to become in vain because of the greed and ambition of future generations."
"For the sake of the Daluo Holy Land and the people of the world, I beg Ye Jianxian to agree to my request!"
Ye Qing turned his head and looked at Hong Yun in the formation. Her face was pale and it was obvious that her blood had been drawn frequently.
Hong Chang, standing beside her, could not hide her lovesickness either.
That Mo Tiansha was also the one who planned to assassinate him. Ye Qing slowly exhaled.
In this case, let’s kill the Daluo Sect Master right here in the Daluo Holy Land!
