Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 236 Good News Bad News

Ziyan Mountain, inside the main hall.

The atmosphere was lively, the elders expressed their opinions and the discussion was very intense.

"I think the Tianwu Dynasty is probably waiting for the Yunyin Sect to return."

An elder pondered for a moment and then said slowly,

"Although the Yunyin Sect suffered a defeat before, their strength should not be underestimated."

"The Tianwu Dynasty may want to wait for the Yunyin Sect to join them, and then launch a general attack on us in one fell swoop."

Once this speculation was put forward, it was immediately recognized by many elders.

Everyone nodded, their expressions becoming more solemn.

"If that's the case, then we have to take action quickly."

Zheng Hui, the King Realm elder, said sternly, "I will report this news back to the sect immediately."

"By the way, have the sect send some more disciples to support us and strengthen our strength."

"By the way, I need to ask Haoyue Pavilion when we can arrive."

The message was sent back a day ago, but no reply has been received yet.

Every minute and every second of waiting made the elders feel more uneasy.

......

On the top of Zi Yan Mountain, the courtyard is quiet.

It was early spring, and although it was almost noon, there was still a hint of coolness in the air, and the breeze was blowing gently, bringing a bit of coolness.

Li Qingyuan sat on the stone bench and slowly opened his eyes.

For the past two days, he has been staying here without leaving.

Just now, he successfully refined the first pill.

One gun every two days, in his opinion, this speed is not fast, but it is not slow either.

With the nourishment of the elixir, his injuries recovered a little and now have recovered to 25%.

This should have been a welcome development, but his brows remained furrowed.

It was because Yue Qinghuan's room was still silent.

This made him feel a little anxious.

After all, for every two days that pass in the outside world, a month will pass inside the time gate.

Based on this calculation, he has delayed his recovery for nearly a month.

But since he promised to protect Yue Qinghuan, he would definitely do what he said;

What's more, Yue Qinghuan generously gave him precious healing pills.

Li Qingyuan looked at the tightly closed door, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the edge of the stone bench.

"Yue Qinghuan..." he murmured softly, "I hope you can hurry up."

“Kill…kill…”

At this moment, bursts of shouts and cries of killing came from afar, and the fighting spirit rose into the sky, stirring up the yellow sand.

Li Qingyuan looked up and saw smoke and dust billowing outside Zi Yan Mountain, with faint glints of swords and shadows.

He thought to himself: Are they fighting again?

This has become the norm in recent days.

He had already learned a general idea of ​​what had happened in the past two days from the disciples who came and went.

Both sides are now testing and waiting.

He felt that, as Ren Yuxuan had said, this was a war of attrition, a battle of who could last longer.

Therefore, he really had no interest in such petty quarrels.

For him, recovering from his injuries is the top priority!

At that moment, he no longer paid attention to the noise from the outside world and withdrew his gaze.

Then, he took out the second pill from the jade box.

The pill is emerald green all over and emits a refreshing fragrance.

He swallowed it without hesitation and closed his eyes again to concentrate.

The mysterious power flowed through the meridians, slowly dissolving with the medicinal power.

Li Qingyuan's breathing gradually became steady, and he seemed to merge into the old plum tree in the yard, standing still despite the mountain breeze.

......

Time passed quietly and an afternoon was gone in a flash.

The night falls quietly as dark as ink.

Outside Zi Yan Mountain, the shouting and screaming gradually subsided and peace returned.

However, it is difficult to calm down in Zi Yan Mountain!

In the brightly lit hall, the flickering candlelight illuminated the solemn faces of the nine elders.

They gathered together again, but this time Li Qingyuan was missing.

All the elders knew that Li Qingyuan was recuperating from his injuries, so they did not want to disturb him.

Zheng Hui sat at the top seat, his gaze sweeping across the crowd below. He said in a deep voice, "Everyone, the sect has sent back a message!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the elders' eyes instantly focused on Zheng Hui, their eyes filled with excitement.

"There are two pieces of news, one good and one bad." Zheng Hui paused, "Which one would you elders like to hear first?"

Hearing this, the elders looked at each other, their hearts full of confusion: How could there be bad news?

In this tense situation, any bad news would make their already heavy mood even worse!

......

At that moment, Wang Wei, who was impatient, took the lead and bowed, saying, "Elder Zheng, let's tell you the bad news first."

Upon hearing this, Ren Yuxuan and other elders also sat up straight and stared at Zheng Hui, obviously paying close attention.

"The bad news is...Haoyue Pavilion can't come for the time being!"

Zheng Hui's voice was not loud, but it was like thunder out of the blue, exploding in the hall in an instant.

Hearing this, the teacup in Ren Yuxuan's hand fell to the ground with a "bang" and broke into several pieces.

Several elders stood up directly, their faces pale.

In an instant, there was an uproar in the hall, and discussions broke out one after another.

"What? Did I hear it right?"

"Holy shit, what's going on?!"

"..."

After a moment, Zheng Hui raised his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet, and then explained:

"It was the Vajra Sect that intercepted the Haoyue Pavilion team!"

"However, according to the news, Haoyue Pavilion has successfully repelled the Vajra Sect."

"It may take about three days for it to reach us."

Upon hearing this, the elders all looked a little ugly. The Vajra Sect had also met its end!

In this way, the situation changes again, and they will have to fight two against three!

......

"Where's the Lingyin Pavilion?" an elder suddenly asked, "They should..."

The elder beside him immediately said:

"Yes, Lingyin Pavilion should always stand on our side, right?"

Another elder snorted coldly and said worriedly:

"Don't jump to conclusions. Don't forget the grudge between Uncle Hua and the person from Lingyin Pavilion. Lingyin Pavilion may not help us."

"Uh...that's true."

The elder who spoke earlier seemed to remember something and nodded helplessly.

At this time, an elder said, "Will Lingyin Pavilion stand on the side of Tianwu Dynasty?"

Hearing this, Wang Wei slammed the table and said angrily:

"Don't talk nonsense! Lingyin Pavilion and the Vajra Sect have been at odds for a long time."

"Since the Vajra Sect has sided with the Tianwu Dynasty, the Lingyin Pavilion can only stand on our side."

"Therefore, if our Tianjian Sect is destroyed, Lingyin Pavilion will not have a good life either."

"If they don't understand this, they deserve to die!"

"Enough!" Zheng Hui shouted, "This isn't something we should worry about. The Sect Master has his own arrangements!"
