601: Chapter 212 Yun Mo’s Choice 601: Chapter 212 Yun Mo’s Choice “How is it, Sect Leader Yun Mo, do you not recognize me?”

The black jade talisman burned with a small flame, within which a ghostly face could be seen, laughing wickedly.

“Sect Leader Yun Mo, have you forgotten, if it weren’t for the fact that you pleased me back then, I would have helped you reverse the fortunes of Wanyun Sect.

Could your Wanyun Sect have achieved today’s glory without me?”

Yun Mo’s tense body relaxed slightly.

He closed his eyes and replied with his mind:

“You didn’t actually help my Wanyun Sect with anything, I merely sought your aid.

But our founder returned in time and quelled the internal strife.”

“Even so, you have indeed sought help from me.”

The ghost-faced daoist spoke softly:

“Besides, have you forgotten, Sect Leader Yun Mo, from where you conjured up one thousand two hundred spirit stones to stabilize the sect top to bottom, and on what grounds did you secure the position of Sect Leader and enjoy a millennium of fortune?”

Yun Mo’s lips quivered slightly, his mental voice grew more urgent, “I will pay you back!”

The ghost-faced daoist said coldly, “Pay back?

With the lives of your Wanyun Sect disciples and members?”

Yun Mo fell silent.

“Sect Leader Yun Mo, take two hours to think it over well.”

The ghost-faced daoist spoke softly again:

“We’re not interested in Wanyun Sect, those assembly line magic artifacts are nice but they’re nothing compared to the Great Fate Holder of the Human Race.”

“If you cooperate a bit, Wanyun Sect won’t have any problems.

At most, a few dozen or a hundred disciples and members will die.”

“If you don’t cooperate…

you know our methods.”

Whoosh!

The black talisman disappeared.

Yun Mo sat with his eyes closed, two drops of cold sweat on his forehead.

The bell sounds were still echoing outside.

He had, for the moment, forgotten to rise, immersed in the nightmare that lasted for ten thousand years, his breathing rushed, unable to calm his mind.

…

Meanwhile.

In a dense forest near the Imperial Capital of the Immortal Dynasty.

The ghost-faced daoist put down the jade talisman before him and a cold snort came from the tip of his nose.

Mo Mo stepped forward with a bow, “Teacher, could it be that this person will truly refuse?”

“This Yun Mo knows the consequences of refusing us,” the ghost-faced daoist said indifferently, “To refuse is to provoke, and those who provoke my Wanmo Heaven will have everything taken from them.”

Mo Mo nodded slowly, a trace of contemplation in his eyes.

“But Teacher,” he said, “the message has already been sent out.

Why has there been no response from Li Dazhi?

Our spies we planted in Dong’an City just reported that Dong’an City has dispatched three thousand immortals, speeding this way, and Li Dazhi is not among them.”

“If the information is correct, that Li Dazhi should be in Dong’an City.”

The ghost-faced daoist narrowed his eyes slightly:

“Too bad there’s a Dong Alliance Teleportation Formation there.

With the power at my disposal, I am not enough to challenge the threat from Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor.

I can only lure him out.”

Mo Mo was about to speak again, “Teacher…”

“Hmm?” the ghost-faced daoist raised his hand to silence Mo Mo.

Thud!

A sound like a stick tapping gently on a drumskin suddenly arose nearby.

The ghost-faced daoist turned his head slightly, then suddenly pointed at Mo Mo.

Before Mo Mo could react, his body trembled slightly, and this Eighth-rank Golden Immortal was like a wooden statue, easily immobilized by the ghost-faced daoist.

Thud, thud.

The sound grew closer, and three dark figures appeared mysteriously in front of the ghost-faced daoist.

The ghost-faced daoist removed his mask, revealing a middle-aged face.

His robe transformed into a somewhat tattered grey kasaya, a faint smile on his lips, his aura rapidly changing from cunning and wily to dignified and harmonious.

He brought his hands together in a gesture of respect and said warmly:

“Greetings to Fifth Senior Brother, Ninth Senior Brother, and Tenth Senior Brother.”

The three dark figures revealed their true forms, all dressed in tattered grey kesayas, emanating an aura of righteousness and warmth.

Had any expert familiar with the Western Sect been there, they surely would recognize these four figures as the masters and disciples of the Western Sect.

The Western Sect had the Tongtian Sect Leader and Zhunti, the second leader;

Both were ancient immortals, formidable figures established in the ancient times, whose origins were mysterious; some say they traversed the Chaos Sea and were innate divine beings.

The Tongtian Sect Leader had the Innate Treasure, twelfth-grade Golden Lotus, and sitting upon it, he was invulnerable to all attacks, unbeatable in person, his methods quite formidable.

He would address Yuanshi Tianzun, himself, and the Holy Mother as peers.

—According to ancient customs, polite treatment was only offered when one was aware of each other’s true strength.

Zhunti, the second leader, although last among the Six Great Masters, his Dao realm was slightly inferior compared to the others, but his Dao body was incredibly robust, he cultivated the six-foot Golden Body, and wielded the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, claiming it could cleanse any treasure, often guiding beings to convert and had a notorious reputation among the heavens and earth.

In ancient times, after Hongjun beheaded Luohou, Tongtian and Zhunti, the two brothers, roamed the ancient earth, claiming themselves as masters of the Western Continent with a single line “This treasure has predestined affinity with my West”, which annoyed many great powers.

Where did the Western Sect come from?

As the Human Race was born in the ancient times, Taiqing, the Elder, noticed the close connection between the Human Race and the Heavenly Dao, hence established the Human Teachings, expressing his appreciation for the Human Race, forming a good karma with them, leaving behind the natural way of cultivation.

Then Yuanshi Tianzun established the Chan Teaching, recruiting some humans to pass down the Dao, aiding the prosperity of the Human Race.

Tongtian Sect Leader said, since Elder Brother and Second Brother have established teachings, he would also establish a great sect, hence he gathered his disciples to create the Jie (Cut-off) Teaching, declaring to cut off a thread of hope for all beings, created the Jie Teaching, and did not establish any connection with the Human Race.

Since then, the Three Pure Ones established teachings, and the Taoist Sect flourished.

Tongtian and Zhunti of the West saw the prosperous state of the Taoist Sect and followed their example to establish the Western Sect, setting their dharma field in the only Spirit Vein convergence area in the heartland of the Western Continent, called Mount Spirit, declaring to create an ideal nation for all beings under heaven.
