The Nine Cauldrons
/ The Nine Cauldrons 558 Fight!
As soon as Yang Dong said this, he looked at Teng Qingshan awkwardly and said, "But Teacher, are you sure we should target Emperor Yu's Hall?"
Emperor Yu's Hall was the most ancient sect in the Land of the Nine Prefectures.
It was a sect that couldn't be trifled with.
"Sovereign, if we really do want to attack Emperor Yu's Hall, we should spend more time thinking about it," Zong Lu said with a frown.
In the Land of the Nine Prefectures, one would immediately feel pressured upon hearing the name of Emperor Yu's Hall. Emperor Yu's Hall was the oldest sect. It was the sect established by Emperor Yu. The fact that this sect was able to exist today was a proof of the hidden strength and power possessed by Emperor Yu's Hall.
"Father." Hongwu pondered and said, "If you really wish to target Emperor Yu's Hall, we must first consider the possibility of success. We mustn't try if the result will put our sect in greater danger. Moreover, if we fail, will we be able to handle the consequences? If we succeeded, how will we benefit?"
Hearing this, Teng Qingshan smiled and glanced at his son.
Compared to his daughter, his son, who was very good with business, was much more thorough-minded. As a matter of fact, Teng Qingshan sometimes felt that he himself wasn't able to be as thorough as his son.
"Teacher, we must think about this carefully." Even though Yang Dong used to be a bandit, he wouldn't dare to simply attack the most ancient sect in the Land of the Nine Prefectures.
Teng Qingshan closed his eyes and tried to calm himself.
Yang Dong, Elder Zong Lu, and Hongwu looked at each other. They didn't dare to speak, as they were worried that they might disrupt Teng Qingshan's thought process. They could only wait silently by Teng Qingshan's side. After all, Teng Qingshan was the Sovereign. He was the founder of the sect. In the Xing Yi Sect, Teng Qingshan had absolute power.
The Xing Yi Sect belonged to Teng Qingshan.
If he told them to do something, they naturally had to do it.
Now, these three were all waiting for Teng Qingshan to make his decision…
"In terms of ability, none of the experts below the Insightful Emptiness Realm can fight against me."
"In terms of speed, the Undying Phoenix Little Blue is considered the best if it uses the technique its mother imparted. Emperor Yu's Hall is at a disadvantage. If Little Blue and I were to work to together, we definitely could kill Liu Xia and Huang Tianqin." Teng Qingshan immediately thought about many plans.
Still, he wasn't confident about one thing—
What had Emperor Yu's Hall relied on to exist for over 6,000 years?
"Hmph, no matter what, according to my investigation, Emperor Yu's Hall has always been hiding in Yuzhou. Even when the Northeastern King Hong Tian started his conquest, Emperor Yu's Hall still hid in their territory and didn't dare to do anything that would provoke Hong Tian." Through this, Teng Qingshan deduced, "Even if the hidden strength possessed by Emperor Yu's Hall is very powerful, it shouldn't be that scary and intimidating. Otherwise, when Yu Tonghai was burnt to death by the Undying Phoenix, Emperor Yu's Hall would have taken action."
"Let's do this!"
"If we want to do this, we must make it big!"
"If we want to intimidate the entire Land of the Nine Prefectures and prevent the other sects from stealing our cultivation techniques, we must let them know the consequences! If we really want to let the world know, we should target the oldest sect. This way, we will intimidate the other sects." Immediately, Teng Qingshan made his decision.
In the courtyard, Yang Dong, Zong Lu, and Hongwu were all waiting silently for Teng Qingshan, who was pondering with his eyes closed. None of them dared to disturb Teng Qingshan.
Suddenly, Teng Qingshan opened his eyes.
"Father?"
"Teacher?"
"Sovereign?"
The three said at the same time.
Teng Qingshan smiled at them. His eyes gleamed as he said in a powerful tone, "Emperor Yu's Hall was involved in the attempted slaughter of the caravan of Qingshan Enterprise. And now they stole a cultivation technique of the Xing Yi Sect. We will not yield to this… Hmph... I am going to visit Emperor Yu's Hall."
Hearing this, Yang Dong, Zong Lu, and Hongwu looked at each other quizzically.
Is the Xing Yi Sect really going to attack Emperor Yu's Hall?
"Uncle Zong," Teng Qingshan said as he looked at Zong Lu.
"Your subordinate is here," Zong Lu hastily answered.
"Prepare the evidence that showed that Emperor Yu's Hall had sent people to slaughter the caravan of Qingshan Enterprise in Youzhou. I will bring the evidence to Emperor Yu's Hall and ask them directly." Teng Qingshan was able to accuse so boldly because he knew that he was right and he was very familiar with all the evidence the sect had gathered.
"Yes." Zong Lu immediately walked out to prepare everything.
As for Teng Qingshan, he summoned his wife, Li Jun, with the use of the Sound Transmission Technique.
"Qingshan." Li Jun rushed over from the other yard. She asked with a smile, "Why did you call me?"
"Little Jun, ask the Bladelike Chi to head to the Desolate Land. Call Little Blue here," said Teng Qingshan.
"What is it? Why are you in such a hurry?" Li Jun said with a smile. She shot a glance at Teng Qingshan before she raised her head and emitted a loud roar. Soon, a roar emitted by the Six Legged Bladelike Chi sounded in the deeper areas of the Great Yan Mountain. Then the Six Legged Bladelike Chi came flying, piercing through the air.
Teng Qingshan stared at Yang Dong.
"Dong," Teng Qingshan said solemnly.
"I am here," Yang Dong replied respectfully.
"The disciple whose name is Gongyu is the first traitor of the Xing Yi Sect! We must not forgive him easily. Do everything you can to take him back alive. I want all the disciples of the Xing Yi Sect to know the consequence of betraying the sect!" A murderous glint flashed in Teng Qingshan's eyes as he spoke. If the disciple had betrayed the sect for a special reason, then it wouldn't matter.
In every man's heart, there existed one's own version of fairness and justice!
Back then, everyone knew why Teng Qingshan had betrayed and left the Gui Yuan Sect. Teng Qingshan didn't want to implicate the Gui Yuan Sect. He didn't want Qing Hu Island to use this as a reason to take action against the Gui Yuan Sect.
However, people like Gongyu, who betrayed the sect and leaked the cultivation technique of the sect, should never be forgiven.
"Put up announcements everywhere in the Land of the Nine Prefectures. There will a reward for the capture of Gongyu. If he is alive, then we want to see him personally. If he is dead, then we want to see his body," Teng Qingshan said coldly.
"Yes." Yang Dong immediately proceeded to do the things he was told to do.
They were all well aware of the significance of this incident. This was the first time a cultivation technique of the sect was leaked. This was also the first time someone in the sect had betrayed the sect. This was just the beginning. If the Xing Yi Sect didn't handle this seriously and if their actions couldn't intimidate the other sects, the same thing might happen again and again. In the end, there would be many sects that cultivated Internal Martial Arts. It would be just like the Daoist Sects.
By that time, the Xing Yi Sect wouldn't be able to gain more power. In fact, by that time, it would be hard to maintain one's strength.
The Xing Yi Sect had to be the only sect that cultivated Internal Martial Arts. Only then would it remain the sacred land for the Internal Martial Arts cultivators, and only then would the Xing Yi Sect become the place desired by the Internal Martial Arts cultivators. The sect would still be the location of gathering for the numerous Internal Martial Arts cultivators. Throughout the past 17 years, the Xing Yi Sect created the terrifying Blood Wolf Army. The Xing Yi Sect has become as powerful as the Emperor Yu's Hall. In fact, it might have become even stronger than Emperor Yu's Hall!
This was because…
The Xing Yi Sect was the only sect that cultivated Internal Martial Arts! Therefore, all the Internal Martial Arts disciples in the Land of the Nine Prefectures have been trying to join the sect. With so many people trying to join the sect, the Xing Yi Sect naturally became stronger.
During the evening, the Six Legged Bladelike Chi had invited the Undying Phoenix. The higher-ups of the Xing Yi Sect all knew about this. When they found out, they were all very shocked and scared. At the same time, they were really looking forward to it. They would definitely feel very proud if Teng Qingshan was able to win this fight against Emperor Yu's Hall.
The next morning.
Half of the sun had emerged from the east. Currently, a dozen people were gathered in the East Flower Garden. These were all the higher-ups of the Xing Yi Sect. Teng Qingshan wore a long and loose cloak and stood there with the Reincarnation Spear on his back. The fiery, godly bird, the Undying Phoenix, stood beside him.
"Father, please be careful," Hongwu said sincerely.
Teng Qingshan looked at his son and laughed. He then patted his son on the head. His daughter had reached the age of 17, while his son was only 15. Yet, whenever he interacted with his son, he felt as though his son was the 17-year-old one, while his daughter was the younger one.
"Father." Honglin said with a frown, "Hm. Unfortunately, Uncle Mu is in Yongan County. If only he could go with you…"
Teng Qingshan grinned and said, "Uncle Mu is protecting the Gui Yuan Sect. How can he leave the sect easily?"
Li Jun couldn't help but say, "Qingshan, be careful." This time, the opponent was the most ancient sect—Emperor Yu's Hall!
Teng Qingshan smiled and shot a glance at his wife and children. He then looked at the elders of the Xing Yi Sect before he laughed and said, "Everyone, Emperor Yu's Hall has tried to slaughter the caravan of Qingshan Enterprise. And now they stole our cultivation technique! This is the first time this has happened, but it will also be the last time. The Xing Yi Sect will display our power and attack fiercely!"
"We must let the other sects know to never scheme against the Xing Yi Sect," Teng Qingshan shouted fiercely. The tone of his words sounded as incisive as a sharp longspear.
"Yes, we will ensure that none of them will even think about doing anything against us."
"Sovereign, you must be careful."
All the elders were saying different things. After all, some of the elders were more senior than Teng Qingshan.
All the elders, as well as Teng Qingshan's wife and children, watched Teng Qingshan leap onto the Undying Phoenix's back. The Undying Phoenix flapped its wings and immediately rocketed up the sky, leaving a streak of fiery light. It soared high up and instantly disappeared.
...
Teng Qingshan rode on the Undying Phoenix's back and entered the region of Yuzhou.
The wind howled fiercely by his ears as Teng Qingshan looked at the vast earth down below.
"Emperor Yu's Hall must be depending on something powerful."
"When I attack Emperor Yu's Hall, they will have no choice but to reveal their trump card," Teng Qingshan said with a smile. "It's great. If they don't have a trump card, then the fight against Liu Xia and Huang Tianqin will be very boring. After all, I have been cultivating arduously for 17 years. And I have not fought for 17 years!
"It will all depend on my past 17 years of cultivation now.
"I don't know if the hidden strength of Emperor Yu's Hall will force me to surrender…"
Soon—
Teng Qingshan immediately saw a huge ancient city down below. It was Yu City. In the center of the city, palaces that glimmered under the sun could be seen. The palaces made up the inner city of Yu City, and this inner city was the location of the oldest sect, which founded by an Omnipotent Expert, Emperor Yu—
Emperor Yu's Hall!
"Yu~~"
The Undying Phoenix emitted a loud chirp before it took Teng Qingshan up into the sky, flying away rapidly!
