Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 842 - 436: Skill, Part 2
Of course, the Divine Sect has both gains to eat and earn; if the plan succeeds, they’ll have an additional Supreme out of nowhere. If it fails, they can also watch the Demon Palace’s infighting until bloodshed spreads across the ground, which is naturally within their interests. That’s why they only provided a bit of tiny help.
In other words, in this battle of Suiyang, the people of the Divine Sect clearly set up arrays and slaughtered people, but in fact, from the beginning, they all held themselves back. They could come and go as they pleased. If they won, the banker devoured all; if they lost, they’d simply perform Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell, not losing a bit.
As for the Immortal Palace, starting a war in the heartland of the Central Plains meant that they were going to lose no matter what. Whether the Heavenly King Army won or Suiyang was defended, all that was consumed were the cattle and horses of the Immortal Palace, and all the blood shed was from the common people. Ultimately, it was only the ordinary people who were injured and the earthly purgatory was achieved.
So the difficulty of Tie Dan’s plan lies precisely here; the situation is simply unsolvable.
Can you tell Boss Shi and the Suiyang Governor to stop fighting, hold hands, and live happily ever after forever?
Besides, saving the common people?
Don’t joke around, the common people are the most incurable; no matter which ’bear’ wins in this battle for supremacy, only the deer is destined to die.
No matter who wins or loses, who emerges victorious or defeated, whether they fight or not, the common people will die, just in varying amounts.
So of course, Tie Dan can say, to stabilize the boss and prevent the Taiyin Demon Palace from bringing about the world’s end, let’s first help Stone Dragon conquer Suiyang.
But the Suiyang Governor also has something to say.
Look at what that beast has done in Genhe North! Can you say that if the Shi Family gains the world, the common people will survive? It’s better to fight here!
The disease has penetrated to the bone; flesh must be cut, and bone scraped. Now, sacrificing forty cities to catch this group of rebellious bandit leaders in one fell swoop, is it really not worth it?
Moreover, the key is that they actually haven’t calculated wrong; in this battle of Suiyang, he indeed can gamble and win.
From the development seen in dreams, the boss was indeed beaten to the point where his Daoist Heart collapsed.
Although sacrificing the Eastern Country, the Three Constellations did catch a breath, and the world was preserved.
If that Stone Dragon were indeed the root of all chaos in the world, this problem would be resolved in Suiyang.
It’s just a pity that this Suiyang Governor, being in the center, cannot roam freely among the heavens like Tie Dan, so his vision is somewhat limited. He hasn’t received Mystic Sect training and couldn’t calculate that this Stone Dragon is merely a player, not even a major issue; larger troubles await outside the game board.
Moreover, things have progressed to this point, the tribulation has started, arrays have been set, two cities have already been slaughtered, and so many Blood God’s Sons are waiting in the heavens for their feast.
Even if Tie Dan could indeed fight his way into Suiyang, breaking arrays and breaching the city, meeting that Great Strength Dharma King, and everyone discussed everything clearly, it might still be a case of spilled water—irrecoverable—too late.
It seems that this time, one can only play it out and overcome Suiyang.
Still, upon calculation, it seems incorrect, doesn’t it?
With the Divine Sect arranging like this, the mere tens of thousands of soldiers under the Heavenly King, how can they have enough to kill them?
Calculating, slaughtering two cities a day and night, for forty cities to last past this month would already be impressive, so how did they fight to ten...
"Crash!"
Before Tie Dan could figure it out, a sudden change occurred!
Suddenly the sky brightened, and an intense glow shone, as if the Sun had leaped out, turning the night sky bright! As though someone had turned on a lamp, illuminating the heavens and the earth brightly!
Then Tie Dan focused his gaze, only to see in the northwest sky, suddenly rising a platinum star!
That platinum star blazed radiantly, resplendent! It was as if a massive flare had sprung from the horizon’s edge!
Vast starlight shone like a silver disk, rising slowly, with glittering light, piercing through the sky! In an instant, it was high above, hanging from the firmament!
In an instant, the thick smoke, red clouds covering the sky, were all dispelled halfway by the light of this platinum star! The night curtain was torn open with a hole!
And in this blink of an eye, a second white star glittered, similarly breaking through the firmament, crossing the sky! Leaping forward!
Then a third! Fourth! A total count revealed six!
Six platinum light stars! Leaping to the city head from all directions, north and south, encompassing the Eastern Country Liangdu!
Six dazzling white stars, massive plasma light clusters, hanging high among the interstellar night sky! Comet-like, encircling the Gen River and Liangshui, spiraling around!
Rustling brilliant light, infinite brightness! Bright and mighty splendor, imbued with righteousness!
For a moment, the boundless morning light seemed to shatter into fragments the night curtain that had overshadowed the heavens!
Endless resplendent light abruptly illuminated the demonic landscape of purgatory!
The smoke and dust covering the sky, the roaring demonic flames, were all suppressed and extinguished by the brilliant light!
The rolling mountains of corpses, the vast sea of blood, all were illuminated by the starlight!
The shouts across the city, the wails of ghosts, actually weakened within a breath!
It’s as if under the gaze of these six platinum stars, and the cold flowing flame pupil,
those evil spirits, those demonic ghosts and figures, each and every one, couldn’t help but cover their mouths and curl up their bodies.
Hiding their filthy forms in the shadows, swallowing their fearful screams back into their throats.
Then amongst the brilliant starlight from the heavens, a middle-aged man’s voice was heard calmly reciting, as if he were speaking right next to one’s ear, resonating across a thousand miles.
"Emei Mountain Man Cang Bi, greets Fellow Daoists."
And then, a red star suddenly flashed forth from the city, rising into the sky, blood glowing brightly, no weaker than the others.
With his own strength, he carved out a blood mist from amongst those six stars, covering the heavens!
"Ha! I wondered who came to die, turns out it’s the Emei Seven Monsters!"
From afar could be heard the Eastern Venerable shouting at the top of his lungs, uttering wild words that shook mountains and ground, booming with thunderous echoes.
"Hmph! If it were Old Man Cang Song himself, I’d show some respect! But you bunch of useless brats, what ignorance brings you here seeking your own demise!"
Then within the white light, that Mountain Man Cang Bi paused in silence for a moment before speaking,
"So, it’s the Three Immortals of the East Sea, facing Wuzhong Laojun. I’ve long heard of your enlightenment at Great Wilderness Mountain Wuzhong Ridge, a Grandmaster of the East Sea.
Your Magnetic Void Grip has reached its peak, capturing Mount Daiyu and Mount Yuanqiao in your day, establishing sects overseas, famed alongside Blood Talisman God, in peer discussion.
Unexpected to see in this reincarnation, you’ve fallen disgracefully, becoming a mere disciple. Now collaborating with these Evil Demons and Heretics, committing atrocities in our Central Plains.
How pitiful and lamentable, such deeds are truly despised by us Mystic Sect juniors."
"...Hmph! Mind your own business!"
Exposed so bluntly, Eastern Venerable clearly flustered, gritting his teeth for a moment,
"You are called Cang Bi? I’ve never heard of you. Which deity are you, to know my background!"
Cang Bi calmly,
"There are people above others, heavens beyond skies, things you don’t know still abound."
Eastern Venerable never expected this fellow to outshine him in posturing, enraged to howl,
"Okay kid! Come! This Lord will learn from you, to see with my own eyes, what skills Emei possesses to vanquish a Dharma King of our Holy Sect!"
Cang Bi indifferent,
"Vanquishing him hardly counts as a skill."
Eastern Venerable breaks defense, screaming like a ghost,
"Argh——!"
Then demonic flames rage, blood sea surges! A moment ago on the grill, suddenly resurrecting! Soaring into the sky!
Meanwhile, within the ruins of Liangdu, crimson clouds churn, blood floods! Demonic flames raging!
Countless carcasses and flesh, attracted as if by magnetic stones, endless blazing blood sea as if wrapped by a fierce wind, all attaching to the grill, merging!
Within the blink of an eye, all the blood food around the city absorbed to the grill! Transformed into a hundred-foot Demon Dragon blood soul! Soaring into the clouds! Roaring aloud! Startling the world!
Facing the blood sea that covers the sky, looking at the hundred-foot Demon Dragon ahead, the Mountain Man hidden in starlight spoke with an unwavering voice,
"Biting the bait, can you escape?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
"Brat!! Blood Sea Roar——!"
In this instant, Eastern Venerable was furiously enraged, blood dragon dancing wildly! Demonic nature surging! Rising against Heaven Star!
"Nine Heavens Extreme Cloud Flash!!"
In this instant, Tie Dan disregarding all, instantly activated, holding Shi Gui, exerting all effort, swiftly tunneling away!
In this instant, the Mountain Man, with neither sadness nor joy, no resentment or anger, an unruffled voice like a needle entering the ear.
"Supreme Dao prophecy, two elements become dust, myriad transformations return mystic, Tribulation Extinguishing Immortal Light"
And then, that all-covering, endless and boundless light, submerged the world, Qiankun, the mountain of corpses, the blood sea, clouds and mist, tunneling, all together.
