Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 140 - 139: Snow Mountain Palace
Chapter 140: Chapter 139: Snow Mountain Palace
"Isn’t your Snow Mountain Palace too overbearing!"
"In the great matter of fate, you’re actually thinking of hogging it all to yourselves!"
"I didn’t see you make a move earlier, now you’re all jumping out. This is truly infuriating!"
Originally, everything was agreed upon, but now this group from Snow Mountain Palace came and changed their tune, making all the loose cultivators extremely discontent.
However, Snow Mountain Palace brought three Nascent Soul Elders and a group of Core Formation Disciples, clearly outnumbering them. The leader, the square-faced elder, immediately shouted angrily to awe them.
"This secret realm is originally the responsibility of our Snow Mountain Palace to guard! There’s an Immortal Record bestowed by the Immortal Palace here! If you are not convinced, go complain to the Three Constellations! See if they’ll let you guard it!"
Seeing the other party bring up the Immortal Palace, the cultivators were momentarily speechless.
After all, the Immortal Palace is indeed the ruler of the land, and theoretically, this kind of demon clan ruins, ancient secret realms, must seal away the fate of demon gods. It is unlikely to be a land without an owner. There are specialized sects responsible for guarding them, which is normal.
Another elder with a sharp face from Snow Mountain Palace also shouted,
"Our sect had originally set up here, and the seal on the demon god was broken by evil people! The guarding disciples died trying to protect it, there must be demon collaborators trying to lift the demon seals, threatening the Jiangshan and Shiji!"
"You, with unclear identities, to prevent anyone from conspiring with demons both inside and outside, anyone not a disciple of Snow Mountain Palace is not allowed in this secret realm!"
Although the cultivators were indignant, upon hearing that a demon god was sealed in this secret realm, no one protested.
After all, if any demons really planned to sneak in and unseal the demon god, not only would Snow Mountain Palace be blamed for not guarding it well, but everyone here might also be implicated.
However, the Purple-clothed Immortal who spoke initially was obviously dissatisfied and furrowed his brows, voicing his thoughts.
"If that’s the case, then please settle the debts Snow Mountain Palace owes first."
The Snow Mountain Palace elders were taken aback, and then they laughed angrily,
"What did you say?"
The True Man said coldly,
"It’s just you bunch of good-for-nothings, failing to guard properly, letting demons break into the sealed secret realm, isn’t it?
If it weren’t for us intercepting the demons outside, the disaster would have been huge.
If you want to handle this matter by yourselves, fine, settle the debts for intercepting demons for your sect previously, and then we’ll talk. Hand over the Heavenly Materials Treasures, and we’re even, and I’ll leave.
If not, don’t blame me for being rude." novelbuddy-cσ๓
Not only were the people from Snow Mountain Palace dumbstruck, even the other cultivators didn’t expect this Immortal to be so unyielding and dominant, actually about to make a move.
Tie Dan, however, was not that surprised, speaking about debts, and clearing things up, that must be Mystic Sect’s style.
After all, in the Immortal World, might makes right. You can rely on strength in numbers to bully people, and the Mystic Sect can also rely on their powerful skills to bully you.
"You, you scoundrel, looking for death!"
The square-faced elder was so furious his face turned bright red.
"Fine! I’ll take this killing calamity!"
To his surprise, the Purple-clothed Immortal was even more stubborn, immediately widened his eyes, opened his mouth, and spat out a colorful beam of light, slicing straight at the square-faced elder’s face!
Well, the Demon Sect is like this, do you think they would treat you like you’re their own child? They strike when they say they’ll strike! If you’re unhappy, they’ll make a move!
However, perhaps the square-faced elder was not fated to die, or Snow Mountain Palace did have some depth.
Hidden behind the square-faced and sharp-faced elders, an unimpressive Nascent Soul cultivator pointed with his hand, and a white ribbon shot out from his sleeve, wrapping around and blocking in front of the square face!
The colorful beam of light went away instantly, cutting the white ribbon into two, then returned to the Immortal’s mouth.
The white ribbon fell to the ground, transforming into a white snake, twisting and writhing for a moment, spitting blood and dying.
The square-faced elder, still shaken, finally raised a White Iron Shield to protect his face. The sharp-faced elder also reacted, taking out a Golden Seal from his bosom and held it in guard.
But the two who made a move had already turned into beams of light, rising into the sky, one turning into a mass of purple mist, the other a whirlwind of ice. Two streams of True Qi twined and fought like dragons and snakes, battling to the point of reversing heaven and earth, with the sun and moon dimming, mountains shaking, and snowy peaks collapsing!
Instantly, a group of cultivators dispersed and fled, Daoist energy flying chaotically, colorful lights flashing erratically, and faintly someone seemed to have slipped into the cave.
The two elders saw the mess and quickly exchanged a glance.
The square-faced one waved his arm and soared into the sky,
"Ninth Generation Disciples, follow me to exterminate demons!"
The sharp-faced one then flew up, rushing into the secret realm,
"Tenth Generation Disciples, follow me into the cave!"
Tie Dan saw the situation and realized that with the way things were, going to ask for Snow Lotus while wearing this guise would be futile.
So he quickly decided, covering his face, and followed the group of Snow Mountain Palace disciples into the demon clan ruins.
The demon clan city-state was built grandly, hollowing out the entire snow mountain. However, due to ancient wars causing the ridges to collapse and get buried by snow, ice stones stood tall in the ruins, with numerous branching paths.
Tie Dan rushed into the cave along the icy tunnels inside the mountain, intending to sneak away through a side path when possible. But he found that the Snow Mountain Palace disciples seemed very familiar with the terrain, soon splitting into several teams, heading down different paths into the demon city. He simply followed one team of Snow Mountain Palace disciples, following smoothly all the way to the depths of the demon nest.
Since Tie Dan was also wearing a Snow Leopard Cloak and using Xuanming True Qi, the three Snow Mountain Palace disciples ahead apparently didn’t notice anything unusual. Or perhaps their attention was completely absorbed by the demon city before them.
Exiting the ice cave, inside the hollowed-out mountain walls was a magnificent exotic demon capital, with countless Divine Temples and Demon Palaces, innumerable headless demon statues, paving the marble and Han White Jade avenue that stretched to the end of the city. On closer inspection, the Divine Temples and statues around had once had gold and gems embedded in the corners and grooves, but clear marks of blades and axes showed that all their golden adornments and treasures had been stripped away by someone.
Yes, by someone.
"Hiss... I didn’t expect the bottom of this secret realm to be so vast. The demon clan was once so powerful!"
"Whether they were powerful, the Immortal Venerable wiped them out. The Immortal Venerable was incredible, unfortunately, it’s about to be regime change now..."
"Alright, stop gawking around, keep up. We need to unseal the Demon Lord before the cultivators outside react!"
Unseal the Demon Lord?
Tie Dan’s gaze sharpened, realizing this matter was not simple.
However, he truly didn’t hear wrong, as the Snow Mountain Palace senior brother leading the group guided them through the buildings, directly reaching a plaza-like area. In the center of the plaza was an altar, which seemed to have once hosted a shrine for some boar-bodied, eight-legged, snake-tailed demon god. Of course, the demon god’s head was also chopped off, and uniquely, the demon god’s body was still pierced by a four-zhang long horse lance, pinned firmly to the ground. It’s unknown how many years had passed, as it had already weathered into a fossil.
"Quickly, unite our efforts to release the Demon Suppression Seals!"
The leading senior brother pinched the formula and chanted, harnessing Xuanming True Qi to form an ice blade, which he struck at the horse lance.
The other disciples followed suit, wielding ice blades one after another, and cyclically hacked at the horse lance.
Seeing Tie Dan standing motionless, the leading senior brother shouted angrily,
"What are you standing there for! Quickly break the seals! Unseal the demon god!"
Tie Dan looked at him, then mimicked their actions, pinching the formula and chanting, gathering an ice blade, and swinging it with a casual fling.
Instantly, blood splattered everywhere! As the ice blade flickered, it chopped off the shoulders and severed the arms of three unsuspecting Snow Mountain Palace disciples, decapitating and killing them!
In one stroke, six pieces were severed!
Then Tie Dan took out a talisman from his bosom, using vermillion to draw a talisman symbol, and threw it onto the senior brother’s forehead.
"What are you doing?"
The senior brother, dying with eyes wide open, muttered incredulously,
"Unseal the demon god, command the Ten Thousand Demons, invade the Central Plains, and dominate the world."
Tie Dan asked again,
"How to unseal it."
The senior brother’s head,
"First break the Eight Domains Army Seal, then unlock the Eighteen Flying Star Lock, finally sacrifice with King Blood, then the Demon Suppression Platform collapses, the demon god is reborn."
Tie Dan asked further,
"Who’s behind this?"
"Marquis Zhongshan."
The senior brother’s head answered the three questions, then with eyes turned and tongue sticking out, died.
The calling soul spell, a low-level Primordial Spirit spell, can be used on the living, causing one’s soul to be detached, and forcefully questioning military secrets can prevent the other party from lying. Of course, this depends on the intense strength of the souls of both the spellcaster and the one being interrogated, powerful cultivators can resist it as well.
So just in case, chopping off the head and then asking, while the soul is dispersed, casting the spell naturally yields the best effect.
Thus asked and answered three times, there should be no falsification.
Of course, from the current observations in the north, Tie Dan pretty much already guessed it.
It seems such forces as Snow Mountain Palace in Kan Country indeed have all defected to Marquis Zhongshan.
And these rebel forces dared to head south, regardless of what lies behind, naturally having reached an agreement.
Marquis Zhongshan, and the demon clan have joined hands.
