Chapter 600: Three-Year Deadline (2)
Yuanlingtian, Luosigou, Jiuqu Xiangxuehai, and the White Eyebrow Clan.
This is a clan of great cultivators who live in seclusion. There is a Grand Master who is half a step away from the Heavenly Man Realm in charge, but they do not show themselves in the human world . They always act in a low profile, keep their heads down, and are content to be vassals of a secular immortal dynasty. They pay tribute throughout the four seasons and eight festivals all year round, and they embody the purpose of 'living in seclusion and freedom' to the fullest.
The biggest feature of the White Eyebrow Clan is that no matter male or female, old or young, they are born with a pair of white eyebrows. In addition, they drink the spiritual wine brewed from the plums grown on the thousand-year-old plum trees in the Xiangxue Sea all year round, which makes their skin whiter than snow, and they all look good in market.
But today, everyone in the White Eyebrow Clan, from the two great ancestors who were at the half-step heavenly realm to the teenagers, about fourteen or fifteen years old, who had just started forging the furnace, were so angry that their faces turned red, and their natural white eyebrows were almost turning red with blood!
Having kept a low profile all their lives and secluded themselves from the world for tens of thousands of years, the Baimei clan never got involved in the ups and downs of the Yuanlingtian cultivation world. But this time, they were betrayed by their own relatives!
Looking at the blood-soaked young man and woman in front of him, the White Eyebrow Patriarch's three-foot-long white eyebrows trembled violently in front of him, and he roared in frustration: "You damned unlucky couple... You should just run away, why did you bring this evil thing back with you?"
This young couple, the man is Ye Bai, a young talent of the White Eyebrow Clan, and the woman is his wife, Yun Xin'er, the royal princess of the Nine Clouds Fairy Dynasty where Luosigou is located. Ten years ago, Ye Bai went to the imperial city of the Nine Clouds Fairy Dynasty for a tour, and he and Yun Xin'er fell in love with each other, and naturally became husband and wife!
In this fight for the status of the six sects and eighteen factions, the Jiuyun Immortal Dynasty was originally a vassal of the Jiuyi Sect, one of the top 100 sects. After nearly three years of fierce fighting, the Jiuyi Sect was almost destroyed. However, the Jiuyun Immortal Dynasty formed alliances and gathered a large number of small and medium-sized forces to snatch a silver medal representing the status of the eighteen factions!
However, with the rumor spread by Dajue Temple, the three-year period is approaching, and Changsheng Sect and Dajue Temple will begin to purge all forces that are not on the list of six sects and eighteen schools. As a result, the competition for these gold and silver medals immediately fell into a white-hot state!
The Jiuyun Immortal Dynasty was wiped out by an unknown force just three days ago. From the royal family to the subordinate small and medium-sized families, all those who had cultivated themselves were killed without leaving a single blade of grass or a single chicken or dog alive.
But Ye Bai and Yun Xin'er had such a fate. The couple took the silver medal that countless people had fought for and fled back to Luosigou and the Jiuqu Xiangxue Sea. They presented the blood-stained silver medal respectfully to the Great and Second Ancestor Baimei and a group of elders and relatives!
The White-Eyebrowed Ancestor jumped up and down, yelling and cursing.
Ye Bai looked at the hysterical ancestor with a bewildered face: "Ancestor, this is the silver medal of the eighteen sects of the three religions, six sects and eighteen schools. With it, our White Eyebrow Clan will be able to rise strongly!"
The White-Eyebrowed Great Ancestor slapped Ye Bai so hard that he flew nearly a mile away, and directly slapped him out of the ancestral temple. He flew out of the gate and hit his head on an old plum tree that was so thick that three people could hug it, breaking the sturdy plum tree into pieces. Ye Bai also had multiple fractures all over his body and kept vomiting blood!
"Idiot! Idiot! I should have thrown you... no, your father... no, your grandfather into a water tank and suffocated him to death when he was born. I knew he would raise a troublemaker like you!"
The White Eyebrow Patriarch roared, “They can purge the Changsheng Sect, Dajue Temple, and Senluo Sect if they want. My White Eyebrow clan has kept a low profile for so many years. Luosigou and Jiuqu Xiangxuehai are remote places where no ghosts have visited for tens of thousands of years. We successfully avoided the apocalypse 30,000 years ago… It’s still unclear whether they can find us during their purge!”
"Even if they want to purge us, we can just find a force from one of the six sects or eighteen schools to join. We, the White Eyebrows, never care about face. We only want the safety of our clansmen and the peace of our family. What face do we need? Isn't it just bowing your head and being a servant to them, calling them a few nice words, and giving them gifts during festivals? What's the big deal?"
"You brought back such a broken sign so quickly, do you want the White Eyebrow Clan to..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a loud thunder in the sky, and the lightning in the sky suddenly crisscrossed and turned into a huge thunder net that covered the 800-li fragrant snow sea tightly. Countless monks wearing black clothes and blood-red armor stood outside the thunder net, with murderous eyes, overlooking the houses and pavilions of the White Eyebrow Clan in the large plum blossom forest!
"Two stray puppies, running pretty fast!"
A hoarse, cold, and cruel voice sounded faintly: "Haha, you guys really gave me a lot of chase along the way... Tsk tsk!"
Great Ancestor Baimei grabbed the silver plate and rushed out of the ancestral temple. He restrained his breath and suppressed the fluctuation of his own magic power to the level of the golden lotus. He knelt on the ground respectfully, held up the silver plate with both hands, and said with a flattering smile: "Senior, please have mercy. These two children are ignorant and brought back this treasure that should have belonged to you!"
"I know that I have no talent or virtue, and I am not worthy of such a treasure. I beg you to be merciful, accept this treasure, and spare my family... I am willing to join you as your disciple, do my best, and let you drive me!"
Ye Bai spat out blood, his face pale as he remembered his ancestral teachings, trembling all over, unable to speak. He finally realized that it was okay for him to take Yun Xin'er back to Xiangxuehai... but he brought the silver medal back, this was... this was... the root cause of the extermination of the family!
In the ancestral hall, Yun Xin'er, with wounds all over her body and clothes soaked in blood, trembled as she walked out of the ancestral hall. She looked up at the sky, which was densely packed with at least millions of black-robed monks. A murderous look flashed in her eyes, and she hoarsely said, "Ancestor, you are a cultivator of the Half-Step Heaven Realm... Why are you so servile?"
"As long as you, Old Ancestor, eliminate these bloody butchers, I, as the royal family of the Nine Clouds Immortal Dynasty, will call on all states and counties of the Immortal Dynasty to raise troops to help. The garrisons in various places of the Nine Clouds Immortal Dynasty will all be under the command of the White Eyebrow Clan!"
The White-Eyebrowed Patriarch had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat and almost spit it out.
The Second Patriarch Baimei was already furious and rushed forward, regardless of his status, and covered Yun Xiner's mouth. He was too excited and accidentally used a little more force with his right hand, and a series of "crackling" sounds directly crushed Yun Xiner's jawbone, and a row of big teeth were crushed by the huge force.
In the sky, countless black-robed monks shuddered in fear, and many of them suddenly rose into the sky, looking at the White-browed Great Ancestor kneeling on the ground below with an extremely embarrassed look.
There were only seventeen monks wearing black robes with a beautiful woman and nine skeletal babies embroidered on them with dark green silk threads. They descended dozens of feet at the same time, and suddenly a suffocating Dao rhythm fluctuation, which was unique to the Half-Step Heavenly Man Realm, surged from their bodies.
“Half-step to heaven? Fellow Daoist White Eyebrows, you are hiding it very well!” A skinny old man looked at the White Eyebrows Great Ancestor with a strange laugh.
Great Ancestor Baimei swallowed hard, looked back at Yun Xiner who almost fainted from the pain, and murmured, "I knew that this woman was a jinx..."
He continued to kneel on the ground, holding the silver plate in both hands, and laughed dryly: "Senior, what are you talking about... In front of you, my little cultivation is not worth mentioning... Please, senior, for the sake of my obedience, spare my family!"
The long eyebrows trembled slightly, and the White Eyebrow Patriarch said softly: "I am willing to bring all the elders and children of the family to serve under you, senior, and let you command me!"
The Second Ancestor of the White Eyebrows also smiled particularly brightly: "The White Eyebrows clan also has some advantages. The spiritual wine brewed by our clan, the secret preserved fruits, and the scented tea brewed with old plum petals are all top-quality products, enough to satisfy your appetite!"
The skinny old man laughed strangely: "Speaking of which..."
"So, the time is up, and you haven't got the silver medal yet, which shows that you are not in the destiny." Lu Yi suddenly appeared above these black-robed monks. He looked down and smiled, "Since you are not in the destiny, you are the evil heretic. I am a disciple of Buddhism, and I should eliminate demons and set the world right!"
Seventeen black-robed monks at the Half-Step Heavenly Man Realm all raised their heads and looked at Lu Yi with pale faces.
Millions of black-robed monks looked at Lu Yi. Many of them who did not know Lu Yi's origins and did not recognize him relied on their own strong strength and the presence of seventeen elders from their own families, and pointed at Lu Yi and cursed him.
The skinny old man looked grim and screamed, "You guys, shut up!"
Lu Yu had already raised his right hand, and the Qingning Heart Lamp flashed with three-colored Buddha flames slowly emerging from his palm. A golden Buddha force was injected into the Qingning Heart Lamp, and the three-colored flames suddenly soared. With a "whoosh", above the thunder net, countless black-robed monks' bodies ignited three-colored Buddha flames at the same time.
Those cultivators below the Illuminating Void Realm were lightly swept away by the Pure World Buddha Flame and immediately turned into a wisp of green smoke. Their bodies and souls were destroyed and their spirits were scattered. They didn't even have the chance to reincarnate.
The cultivators in the Zhaoxu realm frantically urged their own Dao fruits, and powerful Dao rhymes turned into visible ripples that surged rapidly in all directions. They mobilized the power of the Dao to resist the invasion of the Buddha flame, but they only lasted three breaths before their Dao fruits were completely refined by the Pure World Buddha Flame, following the footsteps of other cultivators.
There were only seventeen black-robed monks at the half-step heavenly realm. They frantically drew the power of the void world and transformed it into thick barriers to protect themselves. The Buddha's flames burned their bodies, but they were much more "burn-resistant" than the other monks.
The skinny old man screamed, "Master Fahai... Senior Fahai... Ancestor Fahai... The time has not come yet, it has not come yet... There is still more than a month, more than a month!"
Lu Yi looked down at the group of black-robed monks and said calmly, "Ah, is that so? I got the time wrong!"
With a light of peaceful mind and a sound of Buddhist chanting, seventeen great masters who were at the half-step heavenly realm howled miserably and were reduced to ashes in an instant.
The White Eyebrow Clan was dead silent.
Lu Yi looked down at them and smiled, "Okay, you guys tell me yourselves. From now on, you will be one of the 18 sects among the six sects and 18 schools... Uh, you have too few disciples. You must open the gates and recruit talents from all over the world. This is the right way to achieve sustainable development!"
