The Holy Maiden Uncovers My Coffin When I Just Become An Emperor's Corpse-Chapter 257: Visitor from Central Continent, Slaying the Dragon Ceremony!
Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Visitor from Central Continent, Slaying the Dragon Ceremony!
More than just a day or two had passed, and the elders of the sects present had contacted their respective sects early on.
They reported everything that had happened here in detail to the sects.
But up to this day, except for Shijian and Ting Jian from the Heavenly Sword Sect, and a few elders, no other sect elders or sect masters had arrived.
Not even a single letter had been sent over!
If the messages had been intercepted, then why hadn’t the Heavenly Sword Sect’s messages been intercepted as well?
Moreover, during this period, they had used treasures to transmit urgent messages.
They had tried many ways, especially since some messages had been sensed returning to the sect, making it impossible that not a single message was received.
"Logically speaking, they should have arrived by now," the elder of the Tianji Sect said hesitantly.
If this delay continued and Yang Yan returned.
At the same time, he would be holding hostage the successor disciples of various sects, attempting to leave the Ninth Restricted Area.
How would they resolve this?
Given the strength Yang Yan had demonstrated and the lives of the successor disciples in his hands.
Their only option would be to let Yang Yan go.
But if they let Yang Yan go so easily, it would be like letting a tiger return to the mountain.
Because Yang Yan had a vendetta against their sects, which was irreconcilable.
Furthermore, Yang Yan had said before that if they wanted the successor disciples in his hands, they needed to exchange treasures.
The treasures they had were simply not enough to exchange for the lives of their sects’ successors.
The final result would likely be that many successors would perish, many!
They did not want this outcome!
"Indeed, even if they hadn’t arrived yet, they should have at least used magic treasures to send us information.
Nothing unexpected could have happened, right?" The elder of the Tianling Sect was also a bit anxious.
*Zhan Lingtian was the most valued genius of their sect!*
*If he were to remain forever by Yang Yan’s side or be killed by Yang Yan, it would be a great loss for the Tianling Sect!*
*"Nothing unexpected happened, they might have been delayed by something.
Hopefully they would hurry because Yun Lian could not be in danger!"*
Among the many sect elders present, none were more anxious than those of the Emei Golden Peak Hengyun Mountain Buddhist Sect.
Their disciple, known as Qiao Rulai, Shangguan Yunlian, was among the Emei Golden Peak Hengyun Mountain Buddhist Sect.
The most outstanding genius!
Even among the successor disciples of various sects, she ranked at the forefront.
Her talent was peerless, both her root bone and physique were of the highest quality.
"The future of the Emei Golden Peak Hengyun Mountain Buddhist Sect would rely on her continuation!"
Shangguan Yunlian had excellent Buddhist qualities, and it was even possible for her to become a Buddha.
How could the elders of the Emei Golden Peak Hengyun Mountain Buddhist Sect not care about the life of such a successor disciple!
"Sect Master, what is going on, can’t they communicate if something happened?
Dragging this on and dragging it on will cost the lives of the successor disciples!" an elder of the Baihe Sect said anxiously.
At this moment, the Sect Master of Cangjian suddenly turned his head.
"They are coming!"
Among these people, he had the highest cultivation.
He could sense the furthest distance.
"They are coming?" The elders of the major sects all looked up at the sky.
A cry of a crane echoed around the world.
"It’s the immortal crane from our Baihe Sect!" the elder of the Baihe Sect said with immediate happiness.
Within two breaths, a white crane with fully spread wings spanning over ten meters pierced through the clouds and appeared before everyone.
On the back of the white crane sat several figures.
The white crane flew down from the sky, skimming over the trees.
The figures on its back leaped down and entered the array barrier.
"Sect Master!" the elder of the Baihe Sect immediately called out.
He stepped forward!
The sect master of the Baihe Sect had brown hair and wore clothes embroidered with white cranes.
"So, has that person come out yet?" the sect master of the Baihe Sect asked.
"Not yet, it seems it should be soon."
The sect master of the Baihe Sect nodded slightly.
"As long as nothing was delayed!" he replied.
He had not finished speaking when shadows continued to arrive from the sky.
They descended and entered the array barrier.
"Sect Master!"
"Sect Master!"
The elders of the Tianji Sect, the Tianling Sect, and the Emei Golden Peak Hengyun Mountain Buddhist Sect all stepped forward.
The sect masters of their respective sects had brought people with them.
"Hmm!"
These sect masters responded simply, then their sharp gazes passed through the figures of the elders of each sect, fixing on the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Cangjian.
"Cangjian, the events of today are all because of your Heavenly Sword Sect.
Do you not intend, to give us an explanation?" the sect master of the Baihe Sect was the first to speak.
The sect masters of other sects followed suit.
"Cangjian, your sect was too lax. How could you allow a person like an evil demon to enter the sect and allow him to come to the Ninth Restricted Area to participate in the mission of obtaining the Holy Water!"
"You don’t take the lives of the successor disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect seriously, but we don’t want anything to happen to our sects’ successor disciples!"
They all came together to question him.
"Baihe Sect Master, Jueqing, sect masters of various major sects.
Your words are mistaken!
Yang Yan has enmity with all the major sects, not just with my Heavenly Sword Sect alone!
If it were only my Heavenly Sword Sect, I would bear the consequences alone!
But he is not!" Cangjian paused.
"My Heavenly Sword Sect is also a victim!
Moreover, he took Sword Mountain, the Thousand Transformation Pill, and the Dragon Veins from my Heavenly Sword Sect!
He obtained far too much!
Our Heavenly Sword Sect suffered greatly!
Yes, I made a mistake!
I failed to recognize his true nature and even bestowed him the Thousand Transformation Pill, allowing him to sneak into the Ninth Restricted Area, threatening the successor disciples of the major sects!
Can the sect masters present here guarantee that if the first sect he entered were not my Heavenly Sword Sect?
Except for the Emei Golden Peak Hengyun Mountain Buddhist Sect, which sect could have immediately recognized his true identity?" Cangjian explained.
The sect masters present fell silent and glanced at each other.
With Yang Yan’s methods, his entry into any of their sects would have been difficult to guard against.
"As for my disregard for the lives of the successor disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, you are wrong.
I care deeply!
I came here at the first opportunity!
Here, I must ask you!
Do you care?
If you care, why did you arrive only now?
Do you not know that with his power, he could have brought the successor disciples of various sects out any time?"
Cangjian questioned them as he saw the sect masters had no answer.
"Indeed, Sect Master, why did you come only now?" The elders remaining in the array barrier also asked curiously.
The Baihe Sect Master snorted coldly.
"You think we didn’t want to come earlier?
It all started when, before we received your message.
We also received a secret message!
People from the Central Continent intended to hold a dragon-slaying ceremony in the Billions of Mountains!
By coincidence, the time and place of your incident corresponded precisely with it."
The Baihe Sect Master’s voice turned slightly somber.
"Every time people from the Central Continent come, they are either geniuses from the Upper Sect or direct sons of the Heavenly Sovereigns.
And the person who entered the Heavenly Sword Sect, his talent was exceptional.
His skills were so varied that they made us realize something was wrong.
So, the various sects united, deliberating first, deciding to send someone to identify who the people from the Central Continent were.
To prevent any connection between Yang Yan, who entered the Ninth Restricted Area, and them.
After all, the people from the Central Continent should not be underestimated; offending them would be extremely dangerous.
Then we each sent people to contact and inquire where and who the people from the Central Continent were.
To ensure that the person you referred to was not one of them.
Our sects went to great lengths and effort, finally discovering that.
The people from the Central Continent had not yet entered the Billions of Mountains and were currently resting in Yang City.
They were preparing to enter the Billions of Mountains after the Dragon King’s birthday.
To complete the dragon-slaying ceremony!"
