Chapter 114 Soul Search
Old Monster Linghu closed his eyes and carefully sensed everything his spiritual sense detected.

Since he was a cultivator from another sect and also a member of the evil sect, the soul-searching technique that Linghu Old Monster used was naturally a relatively violent and direct one.

The spirit of the middle-aged man in the hands of the old monster Linghu had a hideous and distorted face, and a terrifying howl came out of his mouth.

"Ahhh"

……

The middle-aged man's spirit became increasingly weak.

After the investigation, Old Monster Linghu looked so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out of his face. Then he flipped his palm and pasted the restriction talisman on again, imprisoning the middle-aged man again.

Seeing this, Lei Wanhe spoke tentatively.

"Uncle Master, why don't you kill this person?"

Old Monster Linghu pondered for a moment, then stroked his beard and spoke.

"This matter is not just the business of our Huangfeng Valley, so keeping him will certainly be useful."

Lei Wanhe understood the meaning behind what Linghu said.

"Uncle Master! What are our plans for the Yellow Maple Valley?"

Old Monster Linghu thought for a moment and gave instructions to Lei Wanhe.

“Wan He, go inform the other nephews and ask them to go to the other five sects to meet their great elders and tell them that something big has happened. I invite them to come to my Yellow Maple Valley in ten days!”

Lei Wanhe also knew the importance of this matter, so he did not dare to delay. He clasped his hands together and spoke respectfully.

"Yes, uncle!"

After saying that, he hurried outside.

Lei Wanhe walked out of the valley and took out six sound transmission talismans. He whispered a few words to the talismans in his hand and then scattered them into the air.

In an instant, the six talismans turned into six firebirds and flew away.

After Lei Wanhe sent out the sound transmission talisman, he turned into a silver arc and flew towards the direction of the master's hall.

In just ten minutes, Lei Wanhe arrived at the master's hall.

Seeing this, the two disciples on duty were about to open their mouths to greet him, but were interrupted by Lei Wanhe's wave of his hand. He ignored the two disciples on duty at the door and walked straight inside.

In the main hall, the head sect leader Zhong Lingdao was practicing. He was awakened by the sound of Lei Wanhe's footsteps and was about to open his mouth to scold him.

"who……"

But when he found out that the person coming was his uncle Lei Wanhe, he swallowed the words that were in his mouth and spoke respectfully instead.

"Disciple Zhong Lingdao greets Master Uncle Lei! I wonder what important matter Master Uncle is here for?"

Lei Wanhe didn't say anything after hearing this, but walked straight to a chair and sat down.

Zhong Lingdao didn't know why and felt a little puzzled, but since his cultivation was not as good as others, he could only smile awkwardly.

"Uncle Master!"

Lei Wanhe pondered for a moment and responded.

"Don't worry, I have something important to discuss with you. Please go out and wait! I have temporarily requisitioned this place..."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lingdao touched his nose and wanted to ask what was going on!
But before he could open his mouth, Lei Wanhe waved at him.

"Ling Dao! Some things are better known less than others!"

After hearing this, Zhong Lingdao had no choice but to bow.

"Disciple retire!"

After saying that, he backed out of the master's hall. As he walked, he was still thinking about what had happened that even he, the master, didn't know.

After Zhong Lingdao left, he waited outside.

After a while, several beams of light were seen heading towards the master's hall.

Among them were the three ancestors of the three major families, Huang Zheng, Li Huayuan, and a middle-aged man in a yellow robe, whose cultivation was also in the middle stage of the Golden Core.

Upon seeing this, Zhong Lingdao hurried forward and saluted.

"Disciple Zhong Lingdao greets several senior uncles!"

But no one paid any attention to it, and instead walked towards the master's hall while talking to each other.

The ancestor of the Chen family spoke to the ancestor of the Nie family.

"Do you think what Junior Brother Lei said is true or false?"

The Nie family ancestor's face turned heavy when he heard this.

"I think it's probably true. Since the sound transmission note says so, it shouldn't be wrong."

Zhong Lingdao, who was standing by, didn't understand what was going on and was bewildered.

Several people walked into the master's hall. After entering, they saw Lei Wanhe setting up a soundproof ban, and then several people started to discuss inside.

When Zhong Lingdao saw this scene, he knew that something big must have happened, and he paced back and forth outside the hall anxiously.

Two or three hours later, the ban was lifted and several people came out one after another, all with extremely gloomy and ugly faces.

After the few people walked out, except Lei Wanhe and Li Huayuan, the other six people each controlled a beam of light and soared into the sky in six directions.

"Brother Lei, I need to go back and refine a magic weapon, so I won't delay any longer here!"

Li Huayuan clasped his fists towards Lei Wanhe and began to speak.

Lei Wanhe nodded upon hearing this and clasped his fists as well.

"It would be better if you prepare early, Junior Brother!"

Then Li Huayuan turned into a beam of fire and flew towards the Bibo Cave.

Lei Wanhe also turned into a silver arc, and with a "crackling" sound, he turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared here.

Seeing this, Zhong Lingdao touched his forehead and said something hatefully.

"It's inexplicable!"

……

Of course, Yun Hao had no idea what was happening here. At this moment, he was in the training room in the cave, doing what he loved with Xin Ruyin.

Two days later.

On this day, in the Yanzhou area of ​​Yue State, Hongfu came to the Yanyue Sect.

A female disciple of the Yanyue Sect who was in the foundation-building stage led Hongfu towards the cave of the Fairy Nishang.

The two came to a mountain.

"Senior Hongfu, please wait for a moment. I will go in and report to Master Ni."

Hongfu nodded upon seeing this.

Afterwards, the female cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage walked towards a cave on the top of the mountain.

"Master, disciple Yue Ling wants to see you for something!"

There was no one in sight, only a voice coming from inside.

"Girl Yueling, why are you coming to your master today instead of practicing well in your cave?"

Upon hearing this, the female foundation-building cultivator named Yue Ling blinked her eyes and spoke respectfully inside.

"Master, Senior Uncle Hongfu from the Huangfeng Valley is here to visit. I am just bringing him here."

"Senior Sister Hongfu!"

As she spoke, a woman in white walked out.

After the woman in white came out, she did not look at Yue Ling, but spoke to Hong Fu who was not far away.

"Fellow Daoist Hongfu, how come you have time to come to visit my Yanyue Sect today!"

Hongfu did not speak directly after hearing this, but started to transmit the message.

"Fellow Daoist Nishang, I came here today for an important matter. Could you take me to meet the two uncles?"

Nichang was stunned for a moment, frowned, and replied in the same voice transmission.

"Two uncles! I wonder what Daoist Fellow Hongfu wants? Why do you want to see two uncles?"

Upon hearing this, Hongfu was conflicted for a moment, not knowing whether she should tell Fairy Nishang about this. But if she didn't, she might not even be able to meet the two Nascent Soul masters of the Yanyue Sect.

When she thought of this, her frown relaxed.

"Daoyou Nishang, let's be frank. The righteous and evil sects are expanding their invasions to the surrounding small and medium-sized countries. We in Huangfeng Valley also learned about this by chance, so Uncle Linghu asked Dong to invite all the uncles to our Huangfeng Valley to discuss this matter."

"just……"

Fairy Nishang almost blurted out what was said, and quickly covered her mouth with her delicate hands before she replied through voice transmission.

"Are you telling the truth, fellow Daoist?"

Hongfu smiled bitterly after hearing this.

"Do you think I would deceive you on this matter? And according to Uncle Linghu, the Spirit Beast Mountain among our seven sects has already surrendered to the Demonic Path."

Fairy Nishang was moved when she heard this. The fact that Lingshou Mountain had dealings with the Demonic Path was well known to their Yanyue Sect. Not only that, she also knew that not long ago, the Hehuan Sect of the Demonic Path also sent people to their Yanyue Sect, but they parted on bad terms afterwards.

"Spirit Beast Mountain actually wants to return to the Yuling Sect! I will take you to meet the two uncles right now!"

"Fellow Daoist, follow me..."

As she spoke, Fairy Nishang turned into a ray of golden light and flew towards the heart of the Yanyue Sect.

Upon hearing this, Hongfu flashed and followed behind her.

The two girls came to a loft on a mountain peak.

The Fairy in Colorful Clothes spoke towards the attic.

"My two uncles, Nishang and Senior Sister Hongfu from Huangfeng Valley are here to pay their respects to you two uncles!"

Two voices were heard one after another from the attic, which had been quiet.

At first a voice sounded a little surprised.

"Hong Fu..."

An old and magnetic voice came from behind. "Nichang girl, bring your senior sister Hongfu in!"

Upon hearing this, Nishang and Hongfu bowed first and then walked towards the attic.

The two girls walked into a hall and saw a beautiful middle-aged woman and an elderly woman sitting inside.

Upon seeing this, Nichang bowed and paid homage.

"Nichang greets the two uncles!"

Hongfu also bowed politely.

"Hong Fu meets "the two uncles..."

The two people sitting there ignored Fairy Nishang and instead looked at Hongfu.

Among them, the old woman spoke to Hongfu.

"Junior Brother Hongfu, I wonder why you came to my Yanyue Sect, and why you want to meet us two old guys."

Upon hearing this, Hong Fu did not hide anything and told the whole story that the Demon Sect was invading Jiang State and Cheqi State, and was planning to invade Yue State, and that Lingshou Mountain had rebelled. Finally, she told the story that Old Monster Linghu had invited the five sects to gather in eight days to discuss how to resist the invasion of the Demon Sect.

The beautiful middle-aged woman sitting on it listened to Hongfu's words, thought for a while and then spoke.

"I didn't expect those two guys to choose to return to the Yuling Sect!"

It was as if she knew that Lingshou Mountain would make this choice.

The old woman also sighed when she heard this.

"Different road non-phase plan!"

Then he asked Hongfu.

"Junior Brother Hongfu, we two know about this matter, but I wonder what your Huangfeng Valley plans to do?"

After hearing this, Hongfu told him the purpose of her trip.

"My two uncles, please allow me to report. I came here to follow the instructions of Uncle Linghu to invite the other five sects except Lingshou Mountain to come to Huangfeng Valley to discuss this matter! As for Uncle Linghu's decision, it is not for me to know."

The old woman's eyes lit up when she heard this. From the words "except Lingshou Mountain" and "Five Sects", she could tell that old monster Linghu was unwilling to accept this.

Just give up the Huangfeng Valley that was developed with great difficulty.

The old woman and the beautiful middle-aged woman looked at each other, and then the old woman spoke.

"We both agreed! We will definitely rush to Yellow Maple Valley in eight days."

Hongfu bowed again upon hearing this.

"Since the message has been delivered, I will not disturb you two uncles any longer. I also need to go back and make some preparations."

The old woman and the beautiful middle-aged woman nodded when they heard this, and then gave instructions to the Fairy Nishang beside them.

"Nichang girl, please send your Senior Sister Hongfu off on behalf of the two of us!"

Fairy Nishang nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

"Okay, two uncles!"

Then he left the attic with Hongfu.

After the two girls walked out.

The beautiful woman sitting in the attic spoke to the old woman.

"Senior Sister, since Lingshou Mountain has chosen to return to Yuling Sect, should our Yanyue Sect also consider returning to Hehuan Sect?"

The old woman curled her lips in disdain when she heard this.

"Junior sister, our Yanyue Sect is at least the leader among the seven sects in Yue Country. Why should we return to Hehuan Sect? As the saying goes, it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix..."

After hearing this, the beautiful middle-aged woman showed a look of worry on her face.

"Sister, aren't you afraid that the demons will come to Yue Kingdom?"

The old woman sneered.

"Since both the righteous and evil sects are expanding outward, there must be other ways to deal with them. Many small and medium-sized countries cannot rely on the righteous sect, so there must be someone who will take the lead in uniting to fight against the righteous and evil sects. Let's not talk about others, just Fellow Daoist Wei, one of the three great cultivators, and Long Hanfeng Bing and his wife from Luanming Sect, who can fight against the great cultivators of the righteous and evil sects."

The beautiful middle-aged woman's eyes rolled when she heard this, as if she had thought of something.

"Senior Sister, if that's the case, why not let our Yanyue Sect take the lead, then we can take the lead in the alliance!"

The old woman also had an idea when she heard this.

"Junior sister, what you said is very true. Putting aside other things, as long as the old demon Hehuan does not take action, we only need to unite the Yuanwu, Jiang, Cheqi and Jin countries around our Yue country to temporarily resist the invasion of this demon. The rest is just waiting for other small and medium-sized countries to join in!"

The beautiful middle-aged woman's eyes lit up when she heard this, but her face darkened again.

"But what should we do with this Spirit Beast Mountain?"

The old woman smiled sinisterly after hearing this, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

"This is easy to handle. Since they have made different choices, we can only send them to death first. By combining the strength of our six sects, it will be easy to deal with Spirit Beast Mountain."

……

After Hongfu and Fairy Nishang came out of the attic, they talked to each other for a few words, and then Hongfu left the Yanyue Sect's headquarters.

at the same time.

The other four Jindan ancestors of Huangfeng Valley also arrived at Qingxu Gate, Tianque Fort, Huadaowu and Jujian Gate one after another. They met with the Yuanying ancestors of each sect and told them that the Demonic Path had begun to invade Jiang Kingdom and Cheqi Kingdom, and that Lingshou Mountain had rebelled and joined the Demonic Path. Then they explained the purpose of their trip and invited the Yuanying ancestors of each sect to gather in Huangfeng Valley in eight days to discuss how to jointly resist the Demonic Path and deal with Lingshou Mountain, the traitor.

The Yuanying ancestors of various sects all agreed and said they would be present at the event.

Afterwards, several Jindan masters from Huangfeng Valley returned to Huangfeng Valley and waited.

A few days later.

Six beams of light flew towards the Huangfeng Valley base in five directions.

At this time, Patriarch Linghu, who was in the Sect Master's Hall, sensed it, and quickly flashed out of the Hall and spoke loudly outside.

"I welcome all my fellow travelers to my Yellow Maple Valley..."

In a moment, the sound spread all over the place.

Several beams of light suddenly appeared in the air, and everyone clasped their fists and spoke.

"Hello, Brother Linghu..."

……

Upon seeing this, Patriarch Linghu returned the greetings one by one.

"Fellow Taoists, please come in..."

As he said this, he stepped aside and raised his hand as an invitation.

Everyone was not polite when they heard this, after all, they were all cultivators of the same realm.

After the seven people arrived at the master's hall, they sat down one after another, with a cup of spiritual tea placed in front of each of them.

Ancestor Linghu spoke.

"Everyone! The reason I invited you all to come here this time is, firstly, that my Huangfeng Valley accidentally received news that both the righteous and evil sects are trying to expand their power outwards, and our neighboring countries Jiang and Cheqi have already been ravaged by war. If each of our sects remains indifferent, the evil sect will only defeat them one by one; secondly, we learned that the Spirit Beast Mountain among our seven sects has already leaned towards the Yuling Sect among the six sects of the evil sect!"

The Yuanying ancestor of Huadaowu spoke upon hearing this.

"Brother Linghu, this is not a joke. Do you have any real evidence?"

The old woman from the Yanyue Sect suddenly interrupted.

"No need for any evidence. As far as I know, Spirit Beast Mountain originated from the Demonic Yuling Sect! Not only that, I believe you all know that our Yanyue Sect originated from the Demonic Hehuan Sect, but we are unwilling to return to the Hehuan Sect and be suppressed by it!"

Upon hearing this, Old Monster Linghu waved his hands.

"Alas! Madam Yu, fellow Taoists, I do have real evidence here. I sent Junior Brother Lei to capture an elder of the Yuling Sect a few days ago, and I accidentally learned this news through soul searching! If you don't believe me, you can search his soul yourself to find out."

As she spoke, she took out the golden elixir of a middle-aged man from the Yuling Sect, and a green light appeared on the golden elixir.

Everyone nodded when they saw this, but no one really went to search the soul to investigate.

"Since Brother Linghu has said so, I think it should be true. However, this will make us lose some combat power when facing the attack of the demons. Sigh!"

The middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest from the Qingxu Sect spoke.

The great elder of the Giant Sword Sect, a round-faced man, smiled disdainfully.

"Qingyun, I hate your hypocritical attitude. Since we are already enemies, why do you still want to keep him around so that he can strike back at you later?"

The old woman from the Yanyue Sect spoke again to the other six people.

"No matter what, Spirit Beast Mountain will be destroyed. Not only that, we have to unite with several other small and medium-sized countries to face the invasion of the demons!"

Taoist Qingyun of Qingxu Sect thought for a moment and then spoke to the six people.

“United with other countries, can they believe it?”

The old woman explained patiently.

"We just need to unite with Yuanwu Kingdom. Jiang Kingdom and Cheqi Kingdom are already caught in the flames of war. If other countries don't want to be defeated one by one, they can only choose to join in! And we are uniting with Yuanwu Kingdom, and the cultivators in the hands of Brother Linghu are the best proof!"

Old Monster Linghu also spoke at the right time.

"It just so happens that I need to go look for Old Monster Tianhuo, so I'll leave the Divine Weapon Sect to me to win over."

"I also have some friendship with Li Yuan Zhenren of Tianxing Sect!"

The Taoist priest from Qingxu Sect said this.

Not to be outdone, the old woman from the Yanyue Sect spoke to the six people.

"I am familiar with Brother Wang Ku from the Skeleton Sect!"

……

In the end, it was the old woman from the Yanyue Sect who made the final decision.

"Then let's go back and gather our strength. One month later, the six of us will join forces to attack Spirit Beast Mountain and wipe out this traitor!"
