Chapter 424: Soul Lamp Extinguished
"when!"
The mighty bell rang, instantly spreading throughout the Qingyun Mountains.
Nine times in a row.
The entire Qingyun Tower shook, and countless monks broke out, stepping into the void with solemn expressions, guarding against possible foreign enemies, and Chu Chen was among them.
The monks from Qingyun Tower looked around, but there was no sign of invasion by foreign enemies.
Generally speaking, when the bell rings nine times, it is the time of life and death for Qingyun Tower.
"There has never been a major chaos in the Qingyun Tower, and there is no invasion of enemies. It has not yet reached the point of life and death. In addition, only when the Yuanying Heavenly Lord falls, the evening drum and morning bell will be rung nine times in succession."
Chu Chen counted with his fingers and found that one year had passed since Xuanjing Tianjun disappeared.
Except for a few people such as Zhong Chengfeng and Sun Siyan, most of the Qingyun Pagoda monks believed that it was impossible for Xuanjing Tianjun to return to Qingyun Pagoda and that his death was a certainty.
"Xuanjing Tianjun's soul lamp is extinguished, and the Tianjun Festival will be held soon."
At this time, the elder's token vibrated, and Qingxiao Tianjun's heavy voice came out, confirming Chu Chen's guess.
"Did Ancestor Xuanjing really fall?"
"Although I had expected it, when the news was confirmed, I still found it incredible."
"This is the Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord!"
The moment the news came out, all the Qingyun Tower monks were in an uproar.
The importance of Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord needs no introduction.
As long as an ordinary force gives birth to a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord, they can rise up immediately, stand on equal footing with many major Nascent Soul sects, and occupy one or even several areas of Qianzhou.
Forces such as Qingyun Pagoda and Yuelu Dongtian, which have several Nascent Soul cultivators, can even be ranked at the forefront of the Qianzhou Nascent Soul sect.
The fall of Xuanjing Tianjun seems to have damaged the foundation of Qingyun Tower.
"If Qingyun Tower wants to secure its position as the overlord of the Yuanwu Domain, it must maintain more than two Yuanying monks."
Chu Chen glanced at the nine-story Green Prison Tower and the jade sycamore tree: "It would be best to have three Nascent Soul cultivators."
If one person is missing, it may attract the covetousness of other forces.
The biggest reason why Qingyun Tower, Yuelu Dongtian and other forces can have several Nascent Soul cultivators is the unique geographical environment of Yuanwu Domain, Xuanyue Domain and other regions.
Regions such as the Yuanwu Region are backed by the Yanyang Mountains, and the various cultivation resources therein are easier to obtain than those in other regions in Qianzhou.
True dragons cannot be raised in shallow water.
It is precisely because of the rich cultivation resources of the Yanyang Mountains that Qingyun Tower and other forces are able to raise several Nascent Soul monks.
Correspondingly, the forces in other regions of Qianzhou covet several regions such as Yuanwu Region and Xuanyue Region, and want to replace Qingyun Tower and other forces and occupy Yuanwu Region and other regions.
For example, the Yuanying sect in Xuanyue Territory will be replaced every one or two thousand years.
Yuelu Cave Heaven occupied the Xuanyue Territory nine hundred years ago.
There are three reasons why Qingyun Tower has been able to firmly occupy Yuanwu Domain for tens of thousands of years.
First, Qingyun Tower itself is an alchemy organization, and most forces will rarely quarrel with it.
Secondly, the founder of Qingyun Tower, Qingyun Tianjun, left behind a sufficiently strong family fortune.
Needless to say, the nine-story Qingyun Tower is a top-grade Tianbao, the greatest secret of Qingyun Tower. Even the monks in the middle stage of Nascent Soul dare not touch its edge.
In addition, there are jasper sycamore trees and many alchemy inheritances.
Thirdly, the Qingyun Tower basically maintains the existence of three Nascent Soul monks.
There was a time in the history of Qingyun Pagoda when only one or two Nascent Soul cultivators were in charge. At that time, all forces poured sand into the Yuanwu Domain and almost drove Qingyun Pagoda out of the Yuanwu Domain.
"Only when the three Nascent Soul cultivators are in charge can we dispel the unwanted thoughts of all forces."
Chu Chen's eyes flickered.
The hidden Heavenly Lord of Qingyun Tower was forced to reveal his existence before.
On the surface, it seems that it is because of the persecution of the Demonic Heavenly Lord, but in fact it may not be Qingyun Pagoda's initiative.
Its purpose is self-evident, to deter all parties and prevent all forces from coveting Qingyun Tower.
The rich cultivation resources in Yuanwu Domain, Xuanyue Domain and other domains are really coveted.
After the fall of Lord Suihan, Yuelu Dongtian broke the agreement and paid a huge price. He also wanted to take action against the Hanhai Sect and force the Hanhai Sect to leave the Vast Sea Territory. Looking deeper, it was not just to show his tough posture to deter other forces.
Under such circumstances, if Yuelu Dongtian gives in, it will only make other forces think that Yuelu Dongtian is weak and can be bullied.
In any case, Xuanjing Tianjun confirmed that his death had a certain impact on Qingyun Tower, but because of the existence of the mysterious Tianjun, Qingyun Tower would not fall into a situation surrounded by wolves.
The ones who had the biggest impact were Zhong Chengfeng, Sun Siyan and others, who completely lost their backers.
"Impossible, how could my father die?"
Zhong Chengfeng looked lost and muttered to himself, unwilling to believe the news.
In his heart, Xuanjing Tianjun has always been a god-like existence, omnipotent.
The fall of Xuanjing Tianjun was like the sky falling to him.
Not to mention, the subsequent impact of Xuanjing Tianjun’s confirmed death. After Xuanjing Tianjun disappeared, his situation in Qingyun Tower became very embarrassing.
"Zhong Chengfeng is miserable."
Many monks looked at Zhong Chengfeng gloatingly, as if they were watching a good show.
"The time has come to pay back the consequences of past calculations."
Chu Chen also looked at Zhong Chengfeng, but he had no intention of being the first to take action.
Xuanjing Tianjun had just fallen, so it seemed too impatient to take action at this time.
"Wait for someone to stand out."
Chu Chen withdrew his gaze.
Zhong Chengfeng offended many Qingyun Pagoda monks. In the past, with Xuan Jing Tianjun as his backer, few dared to retaliate against Zhong Chengfeng.
Now that Xuan Jing Tian Jun has been confirmed dead, these cultivators have no scruples and may not wait to attack Zhong Chengfeng.
By then, Chu Chen's attack on Zhong Chengfeng will not attract too much attention.
…
The news that Xuan Jing Tian Jun's soul lamp has gone out soon spread throughout the Yuanwu Domain.
All parties were shocked, but it did not cause too much ripples.
Xuan Jing Tian Jun has been missing for a year, and most forces have tacitly accepted that Xuan Jing Tian Jun has fallen. Now it is just confirmed.
Compared with this news, all forces are more concerned about whether Qingyun Tower will avenge Xuan Jing Tian Jun.
According to the news sent back at the beginning, the culprit who caused Xuan Jing Tian Jun to be seriously injured and had to flee Qingzhou was the Red Gold Demon King of the Red Gold Tiger Clan, the Blood Snake Demon King of the Swallowing Sky Python Clan, and five other Nascent Soul-level beings.
Three days later.
The ceremony was officially held.
All forces sent envoys to participate in the ceremony, including envoys from the Red Gold Tiger Clan and other forces.
"What are they doing here? Do they really think that our Qingyun Tower dare not start a war?"
The monks of Qingyun Tower were all filled with righteous indignation, glaring at the messengers of the Red Gold Tiger Clan and other forces.
The Yuanying Demon Kings of these forces caused the death of Xuanjing Tianjun.
They dared to send people to participate in the ceremony of Xuanjing Tianjun. Isn't this treating Qingyun Tower as nothing?
"What do these forces want to do?"
Mo Youshu's eyes were cold, and murderous intent surged in his eyes.
"Junior brother, please be patient and see what tricks these forces want to play."
Zuiyue Taoist said lightly.
The Red Gold Tiger Clan and other forces must have their purpose in doing this. It will not be too late to take action after figuring out their purpose.
A few demon kings in the Jindan period can be dealt with by him without the help of Master and others.
Even if the Yuanying Demon Kings of these forces are here, Qingyun Tower is not afraid!
