Chapter 996
The executives of 1st pagoda are now in the middle of discussion in secret using sound transmission. They are also extremely flustered because they are very clear about 1st pagoda’s circumstances. Due to the past many years of improper supervision from them, 1st pagoda’s overall strength has fallen. Although their 1st pagoda is considered the strongest among all the pagoda, their strength is indeed lacking compared to the Divine Sword Pagoda that has much less resources than them. Now they are facing powerful enemy yet 1st pagoda can not bravely step forward. They are demanding resources from others to ask help from outsiders. This situation is very vexing. If this goes on, people of the other pagodas will surely become restless and begin complaining.
Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain’s old men saw that the situation is going sour and one of them hastily said : “If you want our help, no need to give us 10 thousand high quality Regent Origin Stones! You only need to hand over the runes for Mysterious Penetration Dao Talisman!”
Everyone again simultaneously looked at Qin Yun. If Qin Yun just hands over the runes, none of them will have to do anything. This is a very good deal for them.
Qin Yun said with sneer : “It would be easier for you to get 10 thousand high quality Regent Origin Stones from them! My rune is worth hundreds of billions Regent Origin Stones, you think I will give it to you and suffer this kind of loss?”
Yang Chongtian loudly shouted : “Our Hundred Pagoda Sect is facing great crisis today! Qin Yun, as a pagoda master, you must bravely step forward, yet you are just thinking of your own benefit!”
Granny Star said : “Yang Chongtian, your 1st pagoda have already swindled our Star Traveling Pagoda and you still think we would trust you? If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves! It is because of you that pagoda master is very distrustful towards Hundred Pagoda Sect!”
“You mean to say that if we hand over the resources that we owe you, you will hand over the runes?” Yang Chongtian looked at Qin Yun and Granny Star and asked with evil grin on his face. That is a very large amount of resources, 1st pagoda would never hand them over because then the Divine Sword Pagoda will easily catch up to them.
Qin Yun said : “Sect master, if you return the resources that belong to our Star Traveling Pagoda, I will definitely hand over the full set of runes! Our Hundred Pagoda Sect is now facing grave crisis. As the sect master, you must bravely step forward, you should not only think about your own benefit and push the responsibility on me!”
These are the same words Yang Chongtian used to reprimand Qin Yun just now. Yang Chongtian’s expression slightly changed. There is no way he can hand over the resources but if he doesn’t do this, other pagodas will blame him for being self serving.
Shen Bajian impatiently roared : “Yang Chongtian, quickly make your decision!”
Zhang Rong said in cold voice : “Shen Bajian, don’t think your Divine Sword Pagoda is very strong… Ghost Beast Overlord is not something you people can handle! You will just get the disciples of Divine Sword Pagoda killed!”
“We would rather die fighting than beg for help from some good for nothing outsiders!” Shen Bajian said with sneer : “You think our Divine Sword Pagoda’s disciples are bunch of sniveling cowards like you?”
Yang Chongtian wishes that he could pinch Qin Yun and Shen Bajian to death. If he could do that, he would not have to face these difficult situations.
Qin Yun said : “Then forget it, you guys find another method!”
After speaking, he began walking towards the door with Granny Star but was stopped by someone from Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain.
“What are you doing? Get out of the way!” Granny Star furiously shouted.
“Today, we must obtain the full set of runes!” the one blocking the path is the youth who has icy arrogant look on his face. He is a Martial Emperor, apparently he is very strong.
“It’s very strange… as soon as the Ghost Beast Overlord appeared, you people from the Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain also arrived! Could it be that the reason Ghost Beast Overlord can run out of the Ghost Beast Remote Lake is your; Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain’s good deed? Then you came here in the pretense of helping our Hundred Pagoda Sect by forcing us to accept your deal?” Qin Yun said with a profound smile on his face.
Shen Bajian’s expression slightly changed. He cast an angry look at Yang Chongtian, his voice contains a deep cold fury as he said : “You 1st pagoda, did you collude with Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain to sell out our Hundred Pagoda Sect?”
Yang Chongtian furiously shouted at Qin Yun : “Brat, don’t spout nonsense! Believe it or not, I will tear you into pieces!”
“Yang Chongtian, I just gave you two choices, you clearly have not considered them!” Shen Bajian tightly gripped his Origin Sword. His dreadful sword intent rushed out again, causing everyone present to be frightened in their heart once more.
“I agree to abdicate the 1st pagoda’s position to your Divine Sword Pagoda! But the premise is that your Divine Sword Pagoda must thoroughly destroy the Ghost Beast Overlord! Furthermore, you are not allowed to demand resources from other pagoda!” Yang Chongtian gnashed his teeth as he spoke.
There is no way Yang Chongtian would return the resources to Star Traveling Pagoda. If he returns the resources, they will certainly lose their position to Divine Sword Pagoda later. At that time, they will also lose a big portion of their resources. So even if they lose their position of 1st pagoda, they will still have the resources of Star Traveling Pagoda. Now this is the only thing Yang Chongtian can do, to minimize the losses as much as possible.
“If Divine Sword Pagoda leads the Hundred Pagoda Sect, then our Star Traveling Pagoda wishes to lend our hands in your kind effort!” Qin Yun said : “I have a group of friends coming from Ordinary Realm. Many of them are 6th tribulation Half Immortals. Among them there are 7 sword cultivators who are more or less equal in strength to pagoda master Shen. I will see if I can ask them to come help us.”
Yang Chongtian said with sneer : “We can not let outsiders help us!”
Qin Yun said : “I will ask them to help, we won’t need to pay them anything. They are my friends, not outsiders!”
He looked at those people from Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain and said with sneer : “Only these kind of people who do things for benefits are outsiders! Oh that’s right, your 1st pagoda have led Hundred Pagoda Sect for so long, could it be that you have not made friends with any powerful people?”
“That’s right, what about our Hundred Pagoda Sect’s friends? Could it be that our Hundred Pagoda Sect have no friends?” Granny Star inquired.
Yang Chongtian looked at the people from Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain but each and everyone of those people’s expression is filled with cold indifference. They are here for benefit, not to lend a hand in vain.
Zhang Rong ridiculed : “Qin Yun, your Star Traveling Pagoda wishes to lend a hand in their kind efforts? What kind of forces can you ask to come? When the time comes, don’t hold back others!”
Qin Yun faintly smiled : “I can ask city master Murong and old Feitian to help, I am sure that they will help out!”
Zhang Rong also did not dare to retort. Who doesn’t know about Qin Yun’s contacts? Everyone is also very clear about city master Murong and old Feitian’s strength. Many pagoda masters can see that Qin Yun is capable of calling many friends to come help, so they are all filled with hope. In contrast, when Yang Chongtian talked about Ghost Beast Overlord before, it caused everyone present to be filled with fear and helplessness. Qin Yun promised these conditions so that Shen Bajian protects him from Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain.
Shen Bajian said : “Pagoda master Qin, you are considered a Venerable Master, you should be able to craft some powerful formations right? It will be able to save a lot of our efforts. Back in the days when we drove back the Ghost Beast Overlord, Star Traveling Pagoda’s great formation and seal was of greatest help!”
Qin Yun’s heart is moved as he said : “No problem! But our Star Traveling Pagoda has declined too severely, we can not set up a formation on our own. We will require the help of Ancient Star Pagoda, it would be best if those who is very knowledgeable about stars come and help us. We can set up a formidable Big Dipper Calamity Formation that can bring down stars and directly attack that Ghost Beast Remote Lake.”
Shen Bajian nodded and said : “Alright, Ancient Star Pagoda, call out your people, tell them to cooperate with pagoda master Qin to set up the formation!”
Yu Shutian and a group of people have been hidden away by Ancient Star Pagoda. Qin Yun is doing this so that the new pagoda master of Ancient Star Pagoda release all of those people. Hearing Shen Bajian’s words, Ancient Star Pagoda’s new pagoda master, Yang Chongtian and Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain’s people have traces of alarm and anger flashed through their expression.
“The quicker the better!” Qin Yun said again.
“We are already at Ancient Star Pagoda, you can take away as many people as you want right away!” now Shen Bajian is leading Hundred Pagoda Sect to drive back Ghost Beast Overlord. All pagoda must listen to his command.
If Divine Sword Pagoda really becomes the 1st pagoda in the future, then those who are disobedient now will not have good ending. Ancient Star Pagoda’s new pagoda master looked at Yang Chongtian. Apparently they are communicating through sound transmission. Qin Yun has been observing these people from the start and now he is very sure that Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain is indeed connected with this situation.
Granny Star also knows Qin Yun’s intention, she said : “Let me pick the helpers, I know Ancient Star Pagoda rather well!”
“Yang Lin, you are the new pagoda master of Ancient Star Pagoda, quickly convene all the people of Ancient Star Pagoda!” Shen Bajian impatiently commanded.
“This.. they are in secluded cultivation!” Yang Lin said.
“Ohh? Then how come I heard that they were all sent outside to learn through experience?” Shen Jiujian’s brows wrinkled : “One of the sons of my friend was sent out with a group of people to learn from experience, moreover, there are several hundreds who were sent out!”
Several hundred people have suddenly vanished from Ancient Star Pagoda, this matter has been thoroughly concealed.
Shen Bajian said : “Who let them go out?”
Yang Lin is sweating profusely as he looked at Yang Chongtian and Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain’s people.
Qin Yun is also very worried because Yu Shutian, Kang Feiqing and Gong Feiyan are among those people who are missing.
“They will return within 3 days.” Yang Lin said.
“If they don’t return, then you will also no longer be the pagoda master, someone from our Divine Sword Pagoda will take over the position!” Shen Bajian shouted : “Look what kind of situation it is, yet they were sent out to gain experience?”
“Pagoda master Shen, you don’t know, majority of the people who were sent out are very old seniors who have not went out of Ancient Star Pagoda for many years. Yet now Ghost Beast army is everywhere and they were all sent out to gain experience outside!” the person who spoke is an old man wearing white clothes. He is the pagoda master of Ice Origin Pagoda.
“Is this true? What the hell are you doing?” after hearing this, She Bajian’s expression sank. He arrived in front of Yang Lin with one step and grabbed his collar with one hand and then furiously said : “You have transferred away all the useful people in this critical moment, what kind of evil plan are you concocting?”
Yang Lin is completely scared witless as he loudly shouted : “It’s the people of 1st pagoda and Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain who took them away, I don’t know anything!”
Many pagoda masters began shouting and clamoring after hearing this. Yang Chongtian is cursing Qin Yun in his heart, if he did not raise the appeal to have Ancient Star Pagoda help him, then Yang Lin would not have been exposed. Shen Bajian and his brother took out their Origin Swords. They even sent sound transmission to the people of Divine Sword Pagoda.
“Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain, 1st pagoda, listen up, if those people are not returned, don’t even think you can leave this place alive!” Shen Bajian’s voice is deep and cold, his sword intent has risen to the peak. Everyone can sense how angry he is.
The old men of the Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain are unexpectedly calm. One of them said : “Hand over the complete set of runes for Mysterious Penetration Dao Talisman and we will return those people. Otherwise you will never see them!”
