Chapter 424: Chapter 269: The Transmission of the Law_2
“Cloud Fairy?”
“Brother Xinghe?”
“You’ve also come!”
Upon seeing their arrival, the Righteous Path side immediately greeted them.
The two also went with the flow and took their seats in the center, further solidifying the grave atmosphere.
Li Zeshan arrived at the main seat, sat down heavily, and looked at the three opposing groups with cold eyes, feeling a great headache.
Three months before, at South Mountain City within the Qing Region, during the Hundred Flower Heavenly Fragrance Conference, an unknown assailant had attacked, causing the Hundred Flower Heavenly Fragrance and all guests within the building to vanish without a trace, sparking turmoil in the martial world.
Could a mere South Mountain City cause chaos in the world?
Naturally not.
But what if it wasn’t just one South Mountain City, but also more than one Hundred Flower Heavenly Fragrance Conference?
After South Mountain in the Qing Region, the person didn’t cease their activities; rather, they acted repeatedly, igniting conflicts across the Forty-eight Domains.
To this day, merely three months had passed, and already twenty-eight domains, and 56 cities had been attacked, nearly ten thousand Martial Artists met with misfortune, alive without a trace, dead without a body.
In such a case, how could the world not be in chaos, and how could the forces from all directions not be alarmed?
Chaos might have been tolerable, but what was more infuriating was that some took advantage of the chaos to rob amidst the flames, fishing in troubled waters.
With the great calamity that had befallen, and massive changes to heaven and earth birthing the Forty-eight Domains, whose vast territories stretched beyond measure,
How could one traverse millions of miles in just three months, moving between twenty-eight domains and attacking 56 cities?
Impossible!
Not to mention that these twenty-eight domains and 56 cities were located from the southernmost to the northernmost corners and were far apart—even if they were close, it made no sense for them to be attacked simultaneously. Could that person possibly know the Method of Avatar, attacking two or even three locations at once?
Clearly not possible!
Therefore, the current chaos wasn’t just the result of that person’s actions alone; various powers had added fuel to the flames.
Why add fuel to the flames?
Were they colluding with each other?
Of course not, they were merely taking the opportunity to loot amidst the chaos.
The twenty-eight domains, 56 cities, and the disappearance of nearly ten thousand Martial Artists—such achievements were at most half the work of that person; the rest were the black and white paths, Sacred Places, Demon Sects, and some unfathomable individuals taking the chance to eliminate rivals and exert pressure during the opportunity.
This rendered Li Zeshan quite helpless.
At a time like this, these people were still engaging in internal strife?
Had they not taken his master’s warnings to heart?
Didn’t they understand the consequences of nurturing a danger?
Li Zeshan felt helpless in his heart, but he still had to manage the situation, and he spoke in a deep voice, “If all of you still wish to engage in this meaningless struggle, then please take it outside to Dao Concealing Peak. Once there, settle it amongst yourselves through a fight to the death or survival, as is predestined by fate, why bother with dispute here?”

…
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, with no one speaking.
Li Zeshan sighed deeply and continued, “You are all well aware of that person’s methods and style of conduct, I needn’t say more. If we let them grow unchecked, it’ll be like nurturing a tiger by one’s side, and once the tiger grows powerful, the outcome is predictable. I hope you all understand the severity of the situation and temporarily set aside your disputes to join hands and eradicate this calamity first!”
“Pavilion Master Li’s words are indeed true!”
“How could we not know the formidableness of that person?”
“Neglecting this will certainly fester into a calamity and could even lead to our ultimate doom!”
“Despite all this, that person’s means are extraordinary, and their movements are unpredictable; even the Divine Martial Venerable’s attempts are insufficient to trace them.”
“Two Venerables from the Evergreen Palace have been pursuing that individual for over three months without any leads!”
“For this matter, we must rely on the Pavilion of Heavenly Mechanism!”
Faced with Li Zeshan’s words, everyone had toned down a bit, but ultimately, they were still tossing the ball back to him.
Helpless, Li Zeshan said, “The person is also well-versed in the Skill of Heavenly Mechanism, a profoundness not beneath our Pavilion of Heavenly Mechanism. With their ability to seek good fortune and avoid disaster, this is why I urge everyone to unite and scour the entire world, leaving him no place to hide.”
“Oh?”
Although they had long known of this, one person still feigned surprise and probed, “This person actually has such capability. Can even the Qiankun Bagua of the Pavilion of Heavenly Mechanism not calculate their whereabouts, lock onto their movements?”
“If we use the Qiankun Bagua, we can naturally lock onto their whereabouts, but…”
Li Zeshan glanced coldly at the crowd and observed them, “The Qiankun Bagua requires a great deal of energy, and even Grandmaster Wuya can’t use it frequently to pry into the heavenly secrets. Therefore, can all of you guarantee that once our Pavilion of Heavenly Mechanism locates this person, you will surely capture them without further complications?”
…
…
…
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
“Hmph!”
Li Zeshan snorted coldly and stood up, “To show sincerity, let the Divine Martial come here first. Once all the Venerables have gathered, my master will personally use the Qiankun Bagua to eradicate this great menace of the world. What say all of you?”
Facing this, everyone remained silent, not expressing their stance lightly.
Li Zeshan didn’t care, and said coldly, “I have said all that needs to be said, everyone, take care!”
Having said that, he started to leave, leaving the crowd to look at each other coldly.
In the end…
Yun Mengyao rose and left, like a mere bystander, without leaving a word.
No longer locked in stalemate, the crowd began to rise and disperse.
…
Elsewhere, at Dao Concealing Peak, within the Qiankun Hall.
“How did it go?”
In front of an ethereal mural resembling mountain ranges, Grandmaster Wuya stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes contemplating Qiankun.
Li Zeshan replied with a bitter smile, “The human heart is unpredictable, waves and currents deceptive!”
“Is that so?”
Grandmaster Wuya spoke indifferently, seemingly unconcerned.
Li Zeshan frowned deeply and said, “Master, do these people truly not take the threat of Heaven Martial seriously? Even now, they are still scheming and letting things run their course, allowing it to grow unchecked?”
“A future threat always remains a future threat and cannot compare to the immediate peril of life and death,”
Grandmaster Wuya shook his head and spoke calmly, “After Leng Aotian’s disappearance, the Righteous Path’s power has been on the rise, pressing the Demon Sect to retreat step by step, leaving them gasping for breath. Now, an opportunity arises with the emergence of the Great Zhou Heavenly Martial Emperor to share their burden and distract the pressure. They can also fish in troubled waters and loot amidst the chaos, so naturally, they are happy to see him succeed.”
