Chapter 672 Change
At this moment, Hua Weiyang held half of the Heavenly Gate Token high in his hand and swept his gaze towards the crowd, “Do you recognize it? What is this?”
“Demoness! Quickly tell me where your Heavenly Gate Token came from!”
In the distance, a Heavenly Sect Elder asked sternly. At this moment, no one in the various sects noticed that Guan Qishi’s face was covered in cold sweat. Even his hands were trembling slightly.
The zither emissary had noticed something strange about him from the moment he arrived. Seeing how scared he was, could it be that the Heavenly Gate Token in the demonic woman’s hand belonged to him?
“Why do you have the Heavenly Gate Token in your hand!”
In the crowd, the noise grew louder and louder, but Hua Weiyang’s expression was calm. He held the Heavenly Gate Token in his hand and looked towards Feng Xuanzhi in the distance, “Feng Xuanzhi, can you recognize this half Heavenly Gate Token?”
Feng Xuanzhi’s eyes narrowed. She remained silent. Hua Weiyang looked again at the people of the various factions, ‘”That’s right. I found this half Heavenly Gate Token six years ago in a small village under Xuanqing Mountain. As everyone knows, the past Heavenly Gate Tokens were all made of strange objects and contained magical power. Unless it was someone with extremely deep cultivation, they could not destroy it. And this half Heavenly Gate Token was obviously broken by gravity …” he said loudly.
If what she said was true, then six years ago, the peaceful mountain village under Xuanqing Mountain was destroyed overnight, and this matter had something to do with the Heavenly Gate? Thinking carefully would only make one feel endless terror …
At this moment, everyone’s gazes turned towards Daoist Feng Yin. At this moment, Daoist Feng Yin’s expression had also changed slightly. He asked his junior apprentice-brother beside him in a deep voice, “Junior apprentice-brother You Lan, what’s going on?”
Everyone knew that not only did the people from the Immortal Origin Ancient Earth Correct Demon Dao want to obtain the ancient scroll, the Heavenly Gate had never secretly given up searching for it. It was just that it was not as obvious as the others. Now, half of the Heavenly Gate Token had fallen into the ruins of Ning Village, but the Heavenly Gate had never talked about Ning Village in the past few years. From this point of view, it was doubtful.
“Junior Brother, what’s going on?”
At this time, Adept Yushan also looked at Adept Youlan. For the past hundred years, he and Adept Fengyin had been meditating on the Sage realm. They had always ignored the outside world. Everything outside was handled by Junior Brother Youlan. But why was it that Junior Brother Youlan had never mentioned such an important matter to the two of them?
The Heavenly Gate Token was no small matter. Not to mention the fact that the Heavenly Gate Token had landed in the ruins of that small village, it should be taken seriously no matter where it landed. Moreover, it was still beaten to pieces.
At this moment, everyone held their breaths and remained silent. Each of them had their own thoughts. At this moment, a trembling voice finally sounded, “That … That Heavenly Gate Token is, is mine …”
Everyone’s expressions froze when they heard this voice. The person who spoke was Guan Qishi, one of the four Heavenly Sect envoys. Guan Qishi’s face was deathly pale, and his forehead was dripping with sweat. His entire body couldn’t help but tremble. Clearly, his heart was filled with extreme fear.
The other three messengers beside him, apart from listening to the zither messenger, had guessed something from the beginning. The other two, Yan Shushi and Hua Xinshi, were slightly surprised. Yan Shushi’s face did not change. Hua Xinshi immediately frowned and asked, “Senior Brother Guanqi, what’s going on?”
Everyone’s gazes fell on Guan Qishi, and they listened to how he wanted to explain this half Heavenly Gate Token. If they couldn’t explain it clearly, then the Heavenly Gate wouldn’t be able to get away with this matter.
After a while, he trembled and swallowed hard. “That night, I wanted to investigate Xiao Cangtian, but I was afraid of disturbing the people in Xuanqing Sect, so I hid my tracks and wanted to enter the small village under Xuanqing Mountain. However, I didn’t expect that when I entered, I would smell a thick stench of blood …”
When he said this, his entire body couldn’t help but tremble. Everyone didn’t know if what he said was true or false, or if he was trying to justify himself. They could only continue listening.
Guan Qishi continued, “I was also shocked. Why was Xuanqing Sect unaware of so many people dying in the village?” At this moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed towards me. That night, it was too dark. I couldn’t see who that black shadow was, but I could feel it. That person’s cultivation was far above mine. In just a few moves, I was already unable to defeat him. I was struck in the chest by his palm … ”
“And then?” Someone in the distance immediately asked impatiently.
“Then …”
Guan Qishi’s face was pale, as if he had returned to that night. He felt infinite fear and trembled, “I thought that I was going to die there, but that person’s palm struck my Heavenly Gate Token. Fortunately, the Heavenly Gate Token contained magic power. Fortunately, he blocked it for me, otherwise I would have died under that palm …”
At this point, he slowly took out another item from his sleeve. It was the other half of the Heavenly Gate Token. He said, “When I returned, I discovered that the Heavenly Gate Token had been broken, and the other half had landed somewhere …”
After hearing what he said, everyone in the distance began to whisper. As for the people from the Heavenly Gate, they were still inconceivable. Why had Guan Qishi never said such a big thing? Why had the Heavenly Gate never said anything about the destruction of that small village six years ago even though they knew it was different?
At this moment, many people turned to look at Feng Xuanzhi. If what Guan Qishi said was true, then who was the black figure that appeared in Ning Village that night? Xiao Cangtian said it was him …
When Feng Xuanzhi saw that everyone was looking at him, he said coldly, “I didn’t know about this matter. What? Do you believe what a devil said?”
The wind blew coldly. Everyone was silent. At this moment, a cold laugh suddenly sounded from the crowd. The voice was so cold that everyone was shocked. They all looked over. Xiao Chen’s face was gloomy, and his eyes had turned blood red. He kept sneering, as if he was possessed by a devil. His expression was terrifying.
In the distance, Daoist Feng Yin’s eyes narrowed. He immediately sent a divine will to Daoist Yu Shan beside him. “If this person becomes enchanted today, then you absolutely must not let him leave!”
“Senior Brother …”
Daoist Yushan couldn’t help but be slightly shocked. Senior Brother had attained the Dao in the past, and he had been meditating to comprehend the Dao in the past few years. But why did the murderous aura become so heavy in his heart now?
Xiao Chen’s expression was gloomy as he sneered, “The righteous path of a famous sect, the righteous path of the world … Hehe, hehe … Protect a common people, and take the righteous path of the world as the leader. Is this the righteous path of a famous sect …”
At this moment, everyone was silent. A heavenly book had attracted countless killings in the world, and now it was even related to mortals. No wonder he possessed such a strong hostile aura …
“Idiot …”
Hua Weiyang’s face turned slightly pale. Actually, she had already guessed that Xiao Chen would most likely be like this after knowing about Ning Village. However, there was nothing he could do now. Daoist Feng Yin had already activated his killing intent. If he did not let the Heavenly Gate itself fall into chaos now, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed today.
She had already made up her mind. Now that things had come to this point, there was no way for her to retreat. Suddenly, she pointed at Daoist Youlan and said loudly, “There is one more thing that you may not know. This person in front of you is no longer Daoist Youlan!”
