Chapter 459 - For the Yun Sect?

Chapter 459: For the Yun Sect?

The cloud-splitting chariot stopped moving.

If the elites of the Three Sects were to launch an attack on the Evil Sky Pavilion within the barrier at this moment, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The Noble and Fiend Paths had never seen eye to eye. Although the Three Sects were different from the ten great sects, they were one of the most powerful among the Noble Path’s factions in Great Yan. They had 20 peaks and 10 holy lands. Their disciples numbered in tens of thousands. In terms of barriers, the barriers of the Three Sects’ ten holy lands were one of the best in the cultivation world. They could be used to attack and defend.

Zuo Yushu looked at the Luo Sect cultivators on Heaven’s Virtue. For an instant, she had complicated feelings.

Many cultivators hovered above Heaven’s Virtue.

Whizz!

At this moment, a 90-foot avatar flew toward them from afar. It unleashed its grand technique and soon arrived above Heaven’s Virtue from its original position at one of the peaks.

Everyone turned to look at the newcomer.

“Nan Gongwei, the Sect Master of Tian Sect, welcomes the old senior!”

Several thousand Tian Sect disciples bowed in midair. “Welcome, old senior!”

This scene was really extravagant!

Anyone else would have been moved.

During the Evil Sky Pavilion’s previous visit, none of these sect masters had shown up. However, at this time, did they dare to not show up?

Mingshi Yin had the urge to beat himself to death. He was too excited about this.

Kindness was always returned tenfold.

Lu Zhou pushed away from the flying chariot and flew out.

The others leaped after him.

There was no ostentatious show of power as the Three Sects disciples expected. However, they held their breaths. They did not dare to breathe heavily as they looked at the old man in front of them.

“Rise.” Lu Zhou’s voice resounded across Heaven’s Virtue.

Everyone else sighed in relief.

They descended.

Although the Heaven’s Virtue was vast, the center of the holy land was currently occupied by a lot of people.

Nan Gongwei, the Sect Master of the Tian Sect, stood in the lead.

At this moment, Feng Yizhi, the Sect Master of the Luo Sect, descended as well.

Nan Gongwei and Feng Yizhi bowed in unison.

“What brings you here, senior?” Nan Gongwei asked respectfully.

Lu Zhou’s eyes shifted to Nan Gongwei. “Where is the Yun Sect’s Yun Wuji?”

As expected.

Nan Gongwei and Feng Yizhi were clearly in a dilemma.

The others exchanged glances and began discussing among themselves in a hushed tone.

Nan Gongwei’s expression was slightly sour as he said, “Old senior, the Tian Sect was completely unaware of the Yun Sect’s plan. I only found about the Yun Sect’s participation in the siege after it happened.”

“The Luo Sect had no knowledge of it as well! The Yun Sect is too unbecoming! We will certainly give the Evil Sky Pavilion a satisfactory explanation in regard to this!”

It was nothing new for the Three Sects to disagree among themselves. The current situation was also within expectations. From the moment the Yun Sect caused trouble, the signs of discord had already shown themselves.

“And how do you plan on doing that?” Lu Zhou asked Nan Gongwei and Feng Yizhi in a deep voice.

“Well…”

Nan Gongwei and Feng Yizhi were both sect masters. Both of them had remarkable statuses in the Three Sects. Their words certainly bore significance.

Finally, the Luo Sect’s Feng Yizhi bowed and said, “Just say the word, old senior… We’ll give you the explanation that you want.”

Zuo Yushu was shocked to hear this. To think the Three Sects were pandering to the Evil Sky Pavilion.

At this moment, a disciple flew toward them in great haste. He looked terrified and his face was drenched in sweat. When he descended, he tripped out of nervousness and fell face-forward on the ground. When he picked himself up, he stuttered, “S-sect… S-sect masters… t-this is b-bad!”

Nan Gongwei’s expression darkened. He said, “Being flustered is unbecoming of a disciple! What is it?”

The disciple pointed toward the holy land where the Yun Sect was located and said, “T-the… the Sect Master of Yun Sect Master wants to… He… He’s going to commit suicide!”

There was a collective gasp from the crowd.

The disciples of the Tian and Luo Sects looked toward Yun Sect.

The people from the Evil Sky Pavilion were the only ones who remained unruffled.

Lu Zhou’s expression was indifferent as usual as though none of this mattered to him.

Zuo Yushu, on the other hand, was even more shocked. The expression on her wizened face changed. After all, this meant the Yun Sect truly did attack the Evil Sky Pavilion. Did this mean the Sect Master of the Yun Sect was unable to withstand the pressure of the consequences of his actions?

At this moment, an avatar appeared between the two peaks flanking the Yun Sect’s holy land. The avatar had an impressive height of 90 feet! It glimmered with golden radiance and its palms were joined together. A figure could be seen hovering within the avatar. It was none other than Yun Wuji, the Sect Master of the Yun Sect.

A soundwave rolled toward Heaven’s Virtue. “Yun Wuji has done wrong against the patriarch. Yun Wuji knows that he has committed a grave sin that can only be atoned by death!”

There were no attacks. Only Yun Wuji’s voice. His words were filled with reluctance and helplessness.

Several thousand disciples of the Three Sects looked at the avatar. Their goal was to obtain an avatar like that. There were many cultivators who spent their whole lives cultivating without obtaining an avatar with the height of 90 feet.

Yun Wuji had reached where he was today due to his hard work.

Everyone knew Yun Wuji was a man who struck like lightning and moved like the wind. He was a rare cultivation genius in the cultivation world. He climbed all the way from the bottom of the rank to the highest peak in Yun Sect. He was the only one who knew how much effort he had poured in and how many trials he had to overcome before reaching the peak. Unfortunately, the final step had the difference between heaven and earth.

Nan Gongwei and Feng Yizhi, the Sect Masters of the Tian Sect and the Luo Sect respectively, looked at the avatar expressionlessly. Their hearts were as indifferent as their expressions.

Nobody responded to Yun Wuji.

After a brief moment of silence, Yun Wuji laughed forlornly. “Was I truly wrong? Was I wrong?” Soundwave rolled out again as he spoke. The 90-foot avatar moved swiftly and hovered 100 meters in front of everyone.

Yun Wuji was feeling the pressure from maintaining his avatar for such a long time since it consumed much of his power. However, this was no longer important. At this distance, he saw the Evil Sky Pavilion’s Master on Heaven’s Virtue, the one and only legendary cultivator to reach the Nine-leaf stage in Great Yan’s cultivation world! Although he no longer cared about his life or death and was prepared to atone for his crime with his life, his heart still raced when he saw the pavilion master.

Yun Wuji looked at Lu Zhou who was standing in the holy land. His hair was disheveled, and his voice broke as he said, clearly distressed, “Old Senior Ji… was… was I wrong?”

The others found it difficult to tell if Yun Wuji was going to laugh or cry.

Before Lu Zhou could respond, Nan Gongwei said in a deep voice, “Yun Wuji, you’re being irrational.”

“I am not! I need answers! What have I done that is not for the Yun Sect’s sake? Nan Gongwei! Feng Yizhi! It is beneath me to be at the same rank as both of you!” Yun Wuji spat.

At this moment, Mingshi Yin projected his voice said mockingly, “Not only are you wrong, but you’ve made a grave mistake.”

“Hm?” Yun Wuji’s gaze shifted from Lu Zhou onto Mingshi Yin.

“For someone like you, you’re not even worthy for my master to take action. How dare you go on and on and act so righteous? Hurry up and die!”

“…”

Mingshi Yin had seen his fair share of cultivators from the Noble Path like Yun Wuji. They always brag about how everything they had done was for the good of their sects. However, the truth was they would conduct shameful activities in the dark. Nevertheless, it did not stop them from singing their own praises and act righteous, trying to project a good image of themselves.

Yun Wuji felt his chest tighten. He had no choice!

When Mingshi Yin saw Yun Wuji’s blank expression, he said, “What are you waiting for? The disciples of the Three Sects are waiting for you to kill yourself. Hurry up and die.”

Mingshi Yin seemed to be acting out of character. He was clearly more emotional compared to how he usually was. “Aren’t you doing this for the Yun Sect? If you don’t die, the entire Yun Sect will have to die with you!”
