Chapter 485: Joint Attack
“I apologize, Elder Hou, but compared to destroying the Evil Moon Sect’s Longyan Branch here,
We’re more interested in seeing what’s inside that main hall.”
“What the little fellow from Dongxuan Academy said earlier also makes sense. We can put our grudges aside for now.
Let’s see what kind of fortune awaits us within the hall.
As the saying goes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. “
“……”
As Hou Zhenxi’s gaze fell upon Ancestor of Heavenly Fiend Sect and the others, the latter smiled back at him.
There was no remorse in their words.
After all, from beginning to end, they owed Hou Zhenxi nothing.
In making any decision, these individuals naturally sought to act in their own best interests.Right now, if they continued to help Hou Zhenxi, even if they destroyed the Evil Moon Sect’s Longyan Branch, what would they gain?
It would be nothing more than the friendship of the Free and Unfettered Sect and a bit of gratitude from Hou Zhenxi.
But what good was that?
The Free and Unfettered Sect had already been crippled by the Longyan Branch.
Their value was not great.
Instead, they would face the enmity of the Evil Moon Sect.
Before Cang Yun spoke up, they were willing to help Hou Zhenxi from the perspective of disrupting the Qingzhou balance.
But now, compared to the main hall of the Dantai clan, the grievances between the Free and Unfettered Sect and the Evil Moon Sect’s Longyan Branch were insignificant.
“You…”
However, after hearing what Ancestor of Heavenly Fiend Sect and the others said, although Hou Zhenxi was furious, he couldn’t refute them.
The Ancestors of Heavenly Fiend Sect and the others’ decision was logical from any angle.
Even if it were him, he might have made the same choice.
At this moment, the Soul Formation stage cultivators of top forces in the Qingzhou region, such as Spirit Sound Valley, Lingxiu Pavilion, and Flowing Wind Sword Sect, suddenly stood between the Free and Unfettered Sect and the Evil Moon Sect’s Longyan Branch.
All eyes turned to Cang Yun.
Their meaning was clear.
Their choice mirrored that of the Ancestor of Heavenly Fiend Sect and the others.
They wanted to know how to open the Dantai clan’s main hall.
Even the forces like Spirit Sound Valley and Lingxiu Pavilion had hopes.
If Cang Yun and his group truly controlled the method to open the hall’s gate,
Could they apply the same method to open the outer gates of the hidden treasure pavilions and scripture halls?
Therefore, this matter was crucial to them.
Seeing this scene, Zou Zeyu, Tuoba Junlin and the others were stunned at first.
Then, their hearts were filled with joy.
Looking at Cang Yun, their eyes were filled with admiration and gratitude.
They were grateful that they hadn’t actually killed Cang Yun casually before.
Most things worked this way: some seemingly insignificant individuals often possessed the ability to change the outcome.
If it weren’t for Cang Yun causing such a commotion right now,
Zou Zeyu would probably already have been taken away from here by the Second Elder.
But now the situation has reversed.
Almost everyone has started to stand on their side, although it’s for their own benefit, at least their safety was guaranteed.
With just Hou Zhenxi from the Free and Unfettered Sect, they really have nothing to fear at all.
On the other hand, Hou Zhenxi, while angry, was ultimately powerless.
His Free and Unfettered Sect couldn’t stand against all the top powers.
As everyone’s eyes were now on Cang Yun, Hou Zhenxi quietly moved towards the edge of the rear square of the crowd.
Since things have taken a turn, he might also become the target of everyone’s ire.
At this time, if Zou Zeyu casually made a request, these Soul Formation stage cultivators present might not mind turning against him.
At that time, even with his Soul Formation late-stage cultivation, he would be unable to escape.
At this moment, the other nine members of Dongxuan Academy also arrived in front of Cang Yun.
To be honest, they were still reluctant to get involved in this matter.
But since Cang Yun had already proactively dragged Dongxuan Academy into the water, they had no choice but to step forward.
At the very least, they couldn’t make the move of abandoning Cang Yun in public.
Han Ning and the others stood behind Cang Yun. Although their expressions were complicated, they didn’t say much in the end.
And Cang Yun finally regained his composure.
He knew that this matter was completely settled.
When his gaze fell on the hall again, the resentment in his eyes intensified.
“Su Jingzhen, wait for your death!”
After cursing silently, Cang Yun looked at Zou Zeyu and the Second Elder.
“Now that things have come to this, let’s all work together to open the door of this hall. I believe Friend Zou has no objections, right?”
Hearing this, Zou Zeyu smiled and said, “Of course.
All the blessings of this relic should belong to those who are destined.
The Evil Moon Sect’s Longyan Branch has never intended to monopolize everything here.
Moreover, even if the Longyan Branch had the heart, it wouldn’t have the strength.
From the beginning, I intended to search this place together with everyone.
It’s just that someone stirred up trouble beforehand.”
Zou Zeyu’s voice was not small when he said this.
Everyone present heard it.
However, everyone just sneered in their hearts.
Whether you want to keep it all for yourself or not, the hundreds of corpses on the ground are the best proof.
For his Longyan Branch, everything was simply a matter of using force.
But no matter what, for most people, as long as the Longyan Branch was willing to share the method, they would be able to enter this hall in the end, and everything else would be irrelevant.
At this moment, the Second Elder beside Zou Zeyu suddenly stepped forward.
He smiled at the crowd: “If you want to open this place, it’s actually very simple.
All Nascent Soul and Soul Formation stage cultivators, please step forward.
Opening the door of this hall requires everyone’s combined effort.”
……
On the other hand, inside the hall.
Shen Yifeng had already examined all the patterns and spirit runes on the four walls of the hall.
Although the Dao Rhyme on these patterns had been lost, the information they conveyed was still incredibly complete.
“This doesn’t seem to depict the prosperity of the Qingzhou’s Dantai clan.
During the years when the Dantai clan flourished, I was also in Qingzhou, and I knew something about them.
The carvings here, whether the figures or the events, should belong to a more distant region of the Dantai clan.
Even the peak figure of Dantai Clan, Dantai Mingjing doesn’t seem to be worthy of being depicted here.”
Shen Yifeng walked to Su Jingzhen’s side and said this.
Hearing this, Su Jingzhen’s heart trembled again.
He suddenly remembered what Xuening had said earlier about sensing Dantai Mingjing and Little Ling’s presence.
If Dantai Mingjing and Little Ling had truly called out to Xuening, where were they now?
“Master, do you think there might be other hidden spaces within this hall?”
Thinking of this, Su Jingzhen directly asked Shen Yifeng.
The latter’s expression froze for a moment and he reacted immediately.
He looked around and then shook his head.
“I’m afraid we’ll have to wait until Miss Xuening wakes up to find out about this.
The fact that we were able to follow in and obtain some blessings this time is already a stroke of luck. The ultimate secret of this place might still need Miss Xuening to unravel.”
Su Jingzhen silently nodded.
He might not know what the ultimate secret of this place was, but if he had to say who the biggest winner was this time, it would have to be him, Su Jingzhen.
“Boom!”
Just as the master and disciple were talking like this.
A sudden booming sound echoed through the hall.
The two turned their gazes towards the source.
They discovered that the closed doors of the hall were constantly shaking.
As if being attacked by something.
