Chapter 985 - Taoist Faction Calamity

Chapter 985: Taoist Faction Calamity

The 10-foot wide room was quiet and totally empty. There was only a green lamp that was burning and jumping about.

Beside the lamp, there was a middle-aged Taoist who was like an old unmoving tree, silently meditating.

Who knows how long this room hadn’t been cleaned in? There was a full inch of dust here.

There were no marks or signs that showed that there were any changes at all here in hundreds of years.

The Taoist opened his eyes weirdly and exclaimed as he looked toward the void.

“Qingming? How vicious…”

His face instantly twitched and rage flashed across. In a flash, he headed out of the room.

This place was like a dreamlike location; ethereal clouds all around, beautiful scenery, and a seven-colored bright light flashed about.

There were many cultivators who were shocked as they looked at the middle-aged man who appeared.

“It is Great Senior Master Kunming…”

“Why did he come out so soon?”

Kunming wasn’t fazed, walking to the area behind the Celestial Manor to an extremely clean and pure lotus lake.

There was only one lotus here whose pink petals were still tightly shut.

This lotus was much more beautiful than all the other flowers and grasses around.

Kunming carefully protected beside it.

A gentle power spread out from the palm of his hand which protected this lotus that had not yet bloomed.

Not far away, energy clashed and a series of explosion sounds spread out.

Moments later, these sounds calmed down.

Only to see that Kunming’s face wasn’t filled with any joy as he looked at the wound on the lotus. His eyes turned dark and sunken.

“What a Slaying Sword Intent, what a vicious person!”

Pretty much as he said this, a person appeared beside him.

Dressed in green clothes and hemp shoes, he was around 40, had a face like jade, red lips, and white teeth.

“Rongbi also died together! I heard from Chengxing that they both died at Zong Shou’s hands…”

“Zong Shou?”

Kunming turned around, he lowered his head, “Kunming greets Master!”

He said in doubt, “This person is just Celestial Realm, so how can he be a match for them?”

“He had Aoyi and Aokun helping and also the previous Head of Xiaoyao Xuan who for some reason is under him now. He also has a Heaven Grade Dao Soldier Sword Formation that can compare to our Great Proper Xuan Core True Martial Formation.”

The middle-aged man waved his sleeves to tell Kunming not to be so polite and he asked.

“Will these changes affect your tribulation?”

Kunming was silent and a moment later he opened his mouth, “The shock and rage are hard to calm down, hatred and rage are mixed. I need to personally take care of Qingming for a period of time and also need a month to calm down my heart. However, the tribulation is okay! If I can’t become a Saint Venerable, how will I take care of Qingming?”

“That’s right!”

When the middle-aged Taoist heard this, he laughed out loud, “You can’t let that shameless kid’s plan succeed. Just a month’s delay is fine! As long as you do so ahead of Wei Xu it’s fine…”

However, Kunming noticed that his Master seemed to be fretting like he was worried about something.

“Master, did some changes occur in the battle against Common People’s Vast Habitat?”

“Why would anything happen? We prepared for thousands of years to destroy them. Without full confidence, I would rather delay than act recklessly.”

The middle-aged cultivator shook his head and then knew that his disciple saw through something.

He said seriously, “What I was thinking about was what Chengxing said. He said that before Aoyi died, he burned his lifespan to look at Zong Shou’s destiny. He seemed to have noticed something, but at that point his soul was on the verge of collapsing. He could only use his Spiritual Sense projection to send a few words over to him.”

Kunming’s eyes slowly turned serious. He knew that in terms of energy viewing skill, Rongbi was definitely not weaker than Great Shang Imperial Tutor Zhongxuan.

If he was willing to give up his life to look at information, it would be amazing.

“There were only five words, Taoist Faction Big Calamity, Qi…”

“Qi?”

His brow rose up as he didn’t fully understand.

Other person? Other matter? Or is he talking about artifacts, Qilin?

He was totally unable to guess the to the back.

“I’m totally confused! One can’t Guess anything at all. However, this matter is simple. Since we know that Zong Shou might be our calamity, then we just need to wipe him out…”

Even if he didn’t worry about Zong Shou killing his Nephew and pretty much killing Qingming, he had to kill him solely for the Taoist Faction.

“I obviously know that.”

The middle-aged man was slightly distracted, “This is what I’m worried about. Chengxing mentioned that at that time Huangyan Hall Head Tan Kongbian also appeared. Using the reason of insulting the Lu Family to kill Liu Muchen in front of Li Wuque… He also personally said that Zong Shou grasped Lu Family’s pure blood, World Burning Blood Eyes, and was the Crown Prince of the Lu Family, the next Sky Burning Emperor.”

“How did that happen?”

Kunming’s brow furrowed, this was truly problematic.

If they tried to attack and kill him, then they would be enemies with the entire Sky Burning Lu Family.

Although, the Taoist Faction also had three End Realms, maybe four when he passed his tribulation.

Along with the three Qing Venerable Gods, they had seven End Realms.

However, a few thousand years ago, the Taoist Faction started to split and one of them, the Taiqing Venerable God, was taken by the Sword Sect.

In such a problematic time, to clash head-on with the Sky Burning Lu Family wasn’t rational.

“In front of Li Wuque? Lu Family really is overbearing!”

Not only overbearing, it was filled with deep meaning. It was to warn the other worlds that whoever dared to hurt Zong Shou or to insult him would be enemies with the whole Sky Burning Lu Family.

He used Liu Muchen’s life to send a message.

He didn’t know the exact situation, but he guessed that it was because the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty was slightly weaker. Although Li Wuque was End Realm, his foundations weren’t firm.

If not, their Taoist Faction might have been the one used to send a message.

“Which is why I find it problematic! World Burning Eyes are something they had been looking forward to for thousands of years. No matter what, they won’t allow him to die. If I knew this would happen, no matter the price, I would have killed him.”

The middle-aged Taoist said, his face filled with regret. He then smiled as he shook his head.

“There is no need to worry too much. For this kid to grow it will take a long time. The God Emperor is about to rise and sweep millions of worlds. At that time, even the Lu Family will have to lower their heads. Moreover, we have several thousand years of foundations outside of this region, so we don’t need to worry about them causing problems for us.”

He paused and determination appeared in his eyes.

“The most important thing now is still Common People’s Path. It is best to clean out this abomination that Xi Zi left…”

Taoist Faction has so many strong enemies and they needed to get rid of one first!
