Chapter 161 The Sixteen Strongest Sects, the Leader of the Shu Sect, Luo Tian Crosses the West, the Six Sects Gather, Zuo Shanhe Comes Out of Seclusion!!

The sect of life and death and mountains and rivers.

Before Zuo Shanhe disbanded his disciples.

It is divided into the "Mountain and River Hall" on the top of the mountain, the "Dharma Transmission Room" on the mountainside, and the "Learning Hall" at the foot of the mountain.

Disciples who have not entered the sect or have not passed the trial usually stay in the training hall at the foot of the mountain, making fire, chopping wood, and fetching water. They temper their character and undergo the scrutiny from the sect leader Zuo Shanhe.

But because there are few disciples in the Life and Death Mountain and River Sect.

Most of the pavilions and towers are empty, but in the past they were clean and tidy. They were located at the foot of the mountain and were used to receive foreign guests or believers who came to burn incense and offer them accommodation.

But at the foot of the mountain, the Taoist temple with red bricks and tiles and a solemn and simple interior is rarely visited by outsiders.

Because this is the rule set personally by the sect leader Zuo Shanhe.

Even though it was rumored in the outside world that Feng Zizai of the Wuwei Sect, after assassinating King Yin, went up the mountain one after another and took away the "Mysterious Art of Life and Death and Mountains and Rivers" from him, and broke his Taoism, causing his reputation to be damaged and he disbanded his disciples.

But rumors may not be true.

After all, where the tiger lies, its power is still there.

Even if you are famous in the outside world and are in charge of a region, you have to be careful with your words and actions when you arrive at the foot of the mountain.

Luo Fuyao disguised himself as a handsome young man, wearing a "Shanhe White Phoenix Robe", and came out as "Zuo Shanhe's last disciple", announcing himself to everyone.

With the words 'the head of the sect is in seclusion, no disturbances are allowed', he was able to detain these visitors for three days!
but.
Three days is already the limit.

foot of the mountain.

The incense hall for receiving guests is spacious and solemn.

Beside the carved window lattice, there is a landscape painting, on which are depicted disciples of the Xuanmen sect dressed in white and riding cranes, wearing robes embroidered with white phoenix patterns, looking ethereal and ethereal.

The quaint mahogany tables and chairs show faint traces of time; the handles, chair backs, and tables are all polished and carved to be round, smooth, and dust-free.

And at this time.

There were several figures sitting in this hall, some sitting and some standing.

on the right.

Li Xuanzong, wearing armor, sat upright, and was looking at those martial arts masters with a long aura out of the corner of his eye.

Three days in a row.

These masters from the 'Top 16 Sects' in Tongye Province finally couldn't sit still anymore.

So, they all gathered here, wanting to go up the mountain to meet the legendary "Mountain and River Immortal", and they met here.

In the northwest of the world, in the five states of Great Yin, demons ruled over Aquarius, and Changbai State was a barren land with mountains running through it.

Apart from the Minghuang Prefecture in Zhongzhou, the two prefectures of Tongye and Fuyao are the most outstanding in terms of people and land, as well as the most vast in territory.

Therefore, masters of various schools mostly regard this place as the "Central Plains" and establish their own schools here, and there is also the saying of "Eastern and Western Schools".

The Western School of Dharma is located in Tongye Prefecture, with the "Life and Death Mountain and River Sect" being the most important, and there are seven schools.

The Eastern School's lineage is located in Fuyao Prefecture. Before its practice of resurrection, it was known as 'the best in thunder magic, unrivaled'. Legend has it that when he was in the Great Xiantian period, he had mastered the incomplete and unique skills of summoning thunder, thus ranking among the 'number one mysterious sect in the world'. The Luotian Sect is the largest, with a total of nine sects!
Collectively known as: the top sixteen!

The rift between the Life and Death Mountain and River Sect and the Luo Tian Sect existed more than a hundred years ago. At that time, the young immortal Zuo Shanhe stepped on the host Luo Tian Sect and became the "number one in Xuanmen" of the younger generation.

At that time, the second place among all the innate Taoist sects was the current head of Luotian Sect, Luotian Taoist, who was also a Yuandan who had reached the pinnacle of Tianren Realm in his cultivation.

Not only that, after reviving from practice.

There is another rumor about the Eastern School lineage.

That is, Luotian Sect has obtained the complete real person skills that were passed down in the "Dongtian". Therefore, the sect leader Luo Tiandao can reach the real person level by just following the steps.

As for the Eastern and Western schools, ever since the young immortal from Zuo Shanhe stepped into Luotian and established the Mysterious Art of Life and Death and Mountains and Rivers, spiritual practice has gradually revived, and there came into being the saying of "Xuanmen Discussion on Martial Arts".

Xuanmen discusses martial arts.

Every ten years, it would be held at one of the top sixteen sects of the East or West factions.

Selecting the 'No.1 genius' and 'leader of the magic sect' is equivalent to the king among demons and the ruler of Great Yin.

As long as no one reaches the fourth level of true person, the value of this status and title will be unshakable.

A hundred years ago.

There are numerous talented people from powerful sects. In the martial arts competition of Xuanmen, one after another comes on stage. Among the sixteen powerful sects, there are always a few outstanding and top-notch newcomers.

Can.
Standing on the highest peak, for a hundred years, going back and forth over and over again, he is still that person.

As for Luo Tiandao of Luo Tianmen, he became the second in the eternal Dharma lineage and the leader of the East School among the strong sixteen sects.

This time, the Xuanmen martial arts debate will be held soon.

The Luotian Sect and other Eastern Schools will come to the West to fight for the restoration of their Taoism.

Can be biased.
The Xuan Sect of Life and Death, Mountains and Rivers, was disbanded.

therefore!

Danxia Mountain, Yesao Mountain, Natural Magic Sect, Sword Immortal Temple, Feizhu Sect, and Puppet Hall!

Each of the six major inheritances had a master who went up to Nirvana Mountain to take a look at the situation.

Happens to be,

He ran into Li Xuanzong, who was instructed by Li Shenyao, Duke of Tongye, to look for his half-brother Li Shunfan.

At this time, the masters of various sects in the corner of Li Xuanzong's eyes, their presence, even his father, Tongye Gong, had to treat him with respect at this critical moment of confrontation with Dayin.

"The contemporary pharmacist of Danxia Mountain, the leader of the Dharma lineage of Yesmao Mountain, the head of the Natural Arts Sect, the master of the Sword Immortal Temple, the master of the Feizhu Sect, and the head of the Puppet Hall."

One name after another came to mind.

This made Li Xuanzong's face tense and he dared not relax at all.

"So many experts have been attracted by the incident of the Mountain and River Immortal."

He whispered in his heart.

At this moment.

On one side, the skinny Taoist priest with one blind eye, who was sitting with his eyes closed in Yesao Mountain, was the leader who integrated the nine traditions of the mountain and was inclusive. He was respected as the head of various sects.

Behind him, standing on his left and right were disciples from different branches and schools within Yesao Mountain, who had been practicing for three days.

Looking at the painting that depicted the disciples of the 'Life and Death Mountain and River Sect' like immortals, dissatisfaction was revealed in his eyes:
"The immortal gave the Dharma of the Mountain and River Sect of Life and Death to the Sect Master Wuwei without any hesitation. Doesn't he know that the inheritance of the Dharma lineage is of utmost importance?"

"Because I gave him the Dharma, many of his disciples left the mountain. Because they coveted the 'Mountain and River of Life and Death', they were hunted down by several groups."

“If it weren’t for the support of the two Yuan Dan masters Xiu Fa and Can Xuan, the inheritance would have been cut off long ago.”

"That was the best profound skill in the world in the past. If the Wuwei Sect could obtain it, there's no reason why others couldn't obtain it. I, Ye Maoshan, combine magic and techniques, and I can practice anything. Why don't you let Ye Maoshan take a look at this skill?"

There are experts everywhere in the hall.

When others heard the disciple's muttering, they just glanced at him sideways, causing the blind leader of Yemao Mountain to frown and scold him, and then there was no further news.

Li Xuanzong felt that the great building was about to collapse, so sad that he could not help but sigh with mixed feelings:

"A century of heritage has been lost in one day. Alas."

My father, Li Shenyao, was too biased towards the Mountain and River Sect of Life and Death, and mistook the former power of the Mountain and River Immortal for the power of this sect.

In fact, apart from Zuo Shanhe who has practiced this method to perfection.

He recruited disciples from all over the place and opened his gates to recruit disciples, but very few of them could master the profound skills of this lineage to the same level as he did.

In the past hundred years, there have been only three people who have the potential to do so.

But those three disciples, without exception, all went astray and died suddenly or disappeared without a trace.

In the end, when Shanhe Xianren fell, the remaining disciples were hunted down by those who coveted him, and it was obvious that they could no longer provide any help.

My father only cultivated the first and second levels back then, and did not receive the most important third volume, which is said to be able to reach the sky. He regretted this for the rest of his life, so he was obsessed with this mysterious skill.

According to his father's words, it would not be a bad thing to bring back his half-brother who might inherit the mantle of the Mountain and River Immortal and pass down the 'Mysterious Art of Life and Death and Mountains and Rivers' to his own family.

As Li Xuanzong was thinking this, a mild reprimand echoed in his ears throughout the hall.

"You two, without any expertise in magic, dare to speculate on the realm of the 'Mountain and River Immortal'?"

"He dominated the martial arts world for a hundred years. His youth, youth, and the founding of a sect. The old fellows present have all witnessed it." "The laws of nature are unpredictable, and feng shui changes. Even if Feng Zizai, the leader of Wuwei Sect, is in power, it is the end of an era."

"You youngsters are not qualified."

"When you are worthy of the title of 'Number One Heavenly Prodigy, Leader of the School of Magic', then I can evaluate you and you will be considered worthy."

"Don't back down yet."

The leader of Yesmao Mountain, 'Seven Evil Taoist', opened his only remaining eye and spoke calmly.

His other eye was closed, as if it was glued tightly shut, dry and sunken, and no one knew what was hidden in it. But as soon as Fu spoke, he called his two disciples and dared not say anything more.

only.
Their opening words caused several of their anxious peers who had arrived with them to grumble:
"Indeed, even though Shanhe Xianren was the former 'Leader of the Sect', he has disbanded the sect."

"Everyone present here is a veteran in the martial arts world and a master of the mysterious sect."

"After asking all the teachers to wait for such a long time, a cold-faced man came and said something, and then no one showed up. Everyone was left standing there like this. Is this the way the world's number one mysterious sect treats guests?"

"I heard that Luo Tian, ​​the head of the Eastern School, has already reached the level of 'half-step immortal'. He may have mastered the thunder method and become the first pure-blooded human to reach the fourth step. Is Shanhe Immortal worried about his own future by disbanding the sect at this time?"

Several disciples from Feizhu Sect and Puppet Hall were chatting and laughing.

A tall and slender young man named Jianxianguan, holding a sword, with drooping temples, frowned slightly and refuted:

"The Immortal of Mountains and Rivers crushed an era. His magic was so powerful that even though your sect's spells and puppets tried their best, they still couldn't break it even a little bit."

"Strange and lewd skills are nothing but illusions in front of the truth of the great way of man. Do you two deserve to be evaluated?"

As soon as these words came out, the two disciples immediately became angry:

"Meng Ke, how dare you insult my family in front of the teacher?"

One of them took out a talisman, and the other took a step forward with a metallic arm, ready to attack. However, the young man named Meng Ke raised his eyebrows slightly, sneered, and drew his sword:
"Why not give it a try and see if my sword is sharp?"

one side,
A handsome young Taoist priest from Danxia Mountain saw that the situation was tense and several commanders were silent and watching quietly. He was so anxious that his face turned red and he waved his hands repeatedly:
"Everyone, everyone!"

"Listen to what I have to say. You are all masters of the Western School. Shanhe Immortal is a living fossil and a living legend of the Western School for a hundred years. We should maintain the minimum respect for our predecessors."

"How can you be so rash in front of someone's mountain gate?"

He was wearing a green robe that was washed white, and he was thin. When he said this, he touched his head and smiled embarrassedly:

"I am Li Chengzhen, a little pharmacist from Danxia Mountain. If you don't mind, please accept my gift. Don't make a fool of yourself in front of the master."

After saying that, he carefully took out the bag and patted it. Several fragrant innate precious pills were exposed to everyone, causing the few people who had just spoken to pause.

At this time, the Feizhu Sect and the Puppet Hall's Feizhu Sect Master and the Mechanical Technique Master all opened their eyes and praised:
"Pharmacist, your disciple's alchemy skills are not inferior to yours, and he is even better than you."

"perhaps."

"Within three to five years, there will be another great alchemist who can refine the 'Dharma Pill' and help Yuan Dan warriors take it!"

"Besides, he is still young, maybe..."

“It would not be impossible to refine a Heavenly Dao Pill that can help people become immortals in the future!”

The praise from the two masters made Danxiashan Medicine Master smile and stroke his beard without saying much. Instead, Li Chengzhen was so anxious that he waved his hands:

"I am not very knowledgeable, how can I..."

The words are not finished yet.

Da da da.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside.

Everyone who was chatting in the hall frowned.

"This senior disciple of the Sword Immortal Temple is quite right."

"It's just a strange trick."

"How dare you slander me like this in front of the Xuanmen Sect."

"Do you really think you are a master?"

Ji Xia strode into the hall.

Looking around, there were six masters at the peak of Yuandan realm, who were more than one level better than the Tianren realm in later generations. They sat upright on the mahogany chairs, their auras released, and the pressure was like a mountain.

However, in the face of such heavy oppression, he still walked with his head held high, looking normal, as if he had not noticed it at all, and regarded these six elders of different appearances as just six ordinary people.

"It's fine if it's Meng Ke from the Sword Immortal Temple, but who are you?"

The young master of Feizhu Sect and the genius of Puppet Hall were immediately furious when they heard the words. Both of them were rebellious people. There were only a few people in the Western School who could catch their eyes.

Meng Ke is an expert swordsman and has a sect to back him up, so it's no big deal if he just talks about it.

An unknown boy who looked fair-skinned and no different from Li Chengzhen.
How dare you come forward and speak nonsense here?
presumptuous!

Immediately, flying incantations and mechanical fists came crashing down on his face!

At this moment, the two elders looked up and saw a corner of Ji Xia's 'Mountain and River White Phoenix Robe'. They had strange looks in their eyes but did not move. They wanted to stop him but were a beat too late.

Let the two of them kill Ji Xia.

As for Li Xuanzong who remained silent.
I also saw this young man who appeared suddenly.

When he looked carefully and saw clearly, his eyes widened:

"Fourth brother, Li Shunfan?"

Lee Soon-Bum?
The expert from the Six Meridians frowned.

The disciple of Feizhu Sect and Puppet Hall pondered for a moment:
"Stop it. Since you are the descendant of Lord Tongye, your arrogant words are not punishable by death."

"After all, this is Nirvana Mountain, the Mountain of Life and Death, don't take it."

After hearing this, the two disciples laughed wildly:
"Master, Master, I know that I will not use heavy hands. I will just help this brother a little to loosen up his bones!"

The words are not finished yet.

Two huge fists are coming towards us!

The characteristics of the three realms, Vajra, Huangting and Xiaoyao, together with the ultimate realm of boxing, summon the means of "martial arts heaven" and display them in Ji Xia's hands.

The foundation of 'The Mysterious Art of Life and Death, Mountains and Rivers' was laid.

Even the foundation of summer is weak.

But, the foundation is extremely solid!

And he once had the vision of Yuan Dan.

How could ordinary people who haven't reached the third step run wild under his nose?

All I heard was two punches!
Two figures flew backwards, smashing two holes in the wall.

A cloud of smoke and dust spread out.

Wait until the noise fades away.

"Fourth brother?"

Li Xuanzong, who had just stood up, was stunned.

"you!"

The leader of Feizhu Sect and the head of Puppet Hall looked back first, and when they found that the two men were seriously injured and their lives were unknown, they could not help but be shocked and angry:
"Why do you have to use such heavy hands!"

Ji Xia had no expression on her face:

"Why didn't you two think about this problem when they took action?"

The leader of Feizhu Sect laughed:

"Boy, I have never heard of someone like you in the Mountain and River Sect of Life and Death. Even if the Mountain and River Immortal and Mr. Tongye came today, I would have to teach you a lesson in front of them for your arrogance!"

After saying that, the leader of the Feizhu Sect, who was disrespectful to his age and wearing a gray Bagua robe, drew a talisman in the air and was about to subdue Ji Xia!

However.
With a wave of 'Qi' coming————

"Fei Zhu, have you forgotten the three rules I ordered you to follow?"

"You are really brave."
