Chapter 843.
Stepping down the last step, Wang Chen looked back at the towering Qing Yun Peak.
The palace pavilion at the top of the peak was still lofty, yet in his eyes, it was nothing more than a pile of rotten wood and dirt.
After a short exchange of words, and without using any force, the Grand Elder of Qing Yun Palace finally succumbed and obediently handed over the three Great Cultivators who had participated in the siege of Wang Chen.
These three great cultivators were all healing in their respective cave mansions, never dreaming that they would be sold by the Great Elder.
Therefore the beheading process was uneventful and there were no surprises.
Thus, Wang Chen’s grudge with Qing Yun Palace was canceled.
After this battle, Qing Yun Palace had lost most of its top combatants, and with the secret treasures taken away by Wang Chen, the loss could only be described as shocking.
But what was lost the most was the hearts and minds of the people.
As the saying goes, paper can’t wrap fire, Wang Chen ascended to the Qing Yun Palace, the eldest elder groveled, in the future, where to take up the reputation of the world’s first palace!
Sooner or later, it will be replaced by Taiji Palace.
And back to the Taiji Palace of Wang dust, not long after the announcement of closed-door again.
It was another three years.
“Academy Master!”
Anxious cries awoke Wang Dust from his deepest state of immersion.
He opened his eyes, and a little divine aura flared up in his pitch-black eyes, which then sank into the bottomless abyss.
Counting with his fingers, Wang Chen suddenly realized that he had actually been closed for three whole years.
Although the Taoist robe he wore was still immaculate, the ground around him was covered with a shallow layer of dust, and the shape of the innate Taiji was revealed with the Heaven and Earth Two-Embodiment Plate he was sitting on as the center.
As for Wang Chen’s hair, it was hanging down to the ground!
He probed his hand to gather his long hair and hid it within his robes, before rising and waving his sleeve, opening the dense portal.
A stream of fresh air instantly rushed in.
Only to see that a tiger-backed, burly man was kneeling in front of the door.
It was none other than Gao Zhuang.
Seeing Wang Dust, Gao Zhuang was instantly overjoyed, “House Master!”
Wang Chen asked in a deep voice, “Get up and speak, what happened?”
He had purposely explained before his seclusion that unless Taiji Palace was in danger of being overthrown, no one should come to disturb it.
Something big must have happened now!
Gao Zhuang stood up in a panic and reported, “House Master, two flying dragons have come from outside and are attacking the city, the city guard formation is about to be unable to support it!”
“Flying dragons?”
Wang Chen froze – what the hell?
But right now was not the time to get to the bottom of this, he frowned: “Where’s Mo Han?”
Before his seclusion, Wang Chen had not only utilized the treasures scavenged from the Qing Yun Palace to perfect Chang’an City’s city guard formation.
And he also helped boost Mo Han’s strength.
During his seclusion, it was Mo Han who held the power of Chang’an City and Taiji Palace, including the city guard formation!
Wang Chen was confident that after he perfected this grand formation, as long as the entire Taiji Palace worked together, then even if the Qing Yun Palace came out with all their nests, there was no possibility of breaking it.
How could it be put in jeopardy by two flying dragons?
It was always impossible for this flying dragon to be a ninth-ranked ferocious beast!
“Elder Mo is presiding over the grand formation in the Taiji Palace.”
Gao Zhuang hesitated and smiled bitterly, “It’s just that the hearts of the cultivators in the palace aren’t in sync, and he can’t hold out any longer!”
“Huh?”
Wang Chen suddenly noticed that Gao Zhuang’s breath was off, “You’re injured?”
“I was sneak attacked just now.”
Gao Zhuang said in shame, “Luckily, I have a treasure given by the courtyard master to defend myself, otherwise ……”
Wang Chen instantly realized that the current critical situation Taiji Palace was facing was probably the result of internal and external troubles.
It was estimated that the fact that he had been in seclusion for three years without showing his face had made certain people think that they had found an opportunity!
“Go!”
Wang Chen did not speak nonsense and immediately left the cultivation quiet room.
This secret room was located on the ground floor of Ling Yan Pavilion, with special spell formation organs set up so that only two people, Gao Zhuang and Mo Han, could enter.
In order to avoid interference from the outside world, it was constructed in an especially deep location, which was why he was ignorant of the movements on the ground.
The exit of the secret passage was right behind the main hall of Taiji Palace.
When Wang Chen returned to the ground and stepped into the main hall, he caught a glimpse of the two sides facing each other in the main hall.
On one side, there were dozens of cultivators led by Mo Han, and the other side was also cultivators, all of them were wearing the Taiji Palace’s unique standardized Dao robes, but both sides had their swords drawn, and were actually on the verge of infighting.
“Gongyang Ji!”
Only saw Mo Han angrily shouted at a middle-aged cultivator with a thin figure, “The courtyard master treats you well, you don’t miss the favor even if it’s not enough, even at this time of survival, compelling others to turn their backs on Taiji Palace, your heart can be put to death!”
The middle-aged cultivator named Gong Yang Ji is the leader of the other party, and facing Mo Han’s rebuke, he snorted, “You also know that now is the time of survival ah, you can’t stand up to the flying dragons outside, can’t let us follow along with the funeral, right?”
“The courtyard master is treating me well, but he’s been in seclusion for three years and his life and death are uncertain, how can I be blamed for wanting to preserve myself?”
As soon as Gongyang Ji’s words fell, the cultivators next to him chimed in.
“Yes, yes, yes, we just want to live, what’s wrong with that?”
“Elder Mo, if you can’t even stand it, don’t blame us.”
“Right, quickly let go of the grand formation prohibition and let us out!”
They were raging, with the air of fighting for their lives at the drop of a hat.
Any city protection formation needed someone to preside and sit in order to function properly.
Under normal circumstances, the greater the number of cultivators sitting at the array eyes and nodes, the stronger the operation and protective effect of the array would be.
The main hall of Taiji Palace was precisely the center of Chang’an City’s protective array.
Originally, these cultivators were supposed to join Mo Han and work together to fight against the external threat.
As a result, they turned against him at a critical moment.
Mo Han was so angry that he almost spat out blood, “You guys ……”
“Elder Mo!”
Gong Yang Ji stepped forward and said smugly, “Actually, it’s very simple to save Chang’an City, you just need to let go of the big formation and let the Qing Yun Palace Daoists outside the city enter the city, as the saying goes, many hands make light work, and you can naturally lift the crisis at that time.”
“I think even if the courtyard master is here, he would agree!”
“I don’t agree.”
As soon as Gongyang Ji’s words fell, an indifferent voice rang out in the great hall, clearly reaching everyone’s ears.
Gongyang Ji’s face immediately changed drastically!
And Mo Han was ecstatic, “Academy Master!”
Wang Chen stepped into the great hall, his gaze sweeping over the faces of every cultivator.
Some of these cultivators were overwhelmed with excitement, some let out a long breath, some had faces like ashes, and some trembled in fear.
Gong Yang Ji squeezed out an extremely ugly smile, “Yard, Yard Master, the lower cultivator is just ……”
Wang Chen did not say anything and raised his right hand towards the other party to press down through the air.
Boom!
Gongyang Ji was instantly pressed to the ground by an invisible force, and his entire person was directly pressed into a meat cake!
He was also a great cultivator at the Dao-entry level, but under Wang Chen’s hands, he was as fragile as a newborn baby.
Completely unbeatable.
The other cultivators who were in the group with Gong Yang Ji all lost their souls and fell to their knees on the spot.
“Academy Master spare your life!”
