Lichuan Province is one of the largest and most prosperous provinces in the western part of the Tianhun Empire. The reason is simply because Fenglei Sect, one of the top ten sects in the world, is located in this province.
The place where the Fenglei Sect's mountain gate is located is called the Thunder Mountain Range. It is said that the highest main peak of the Thunder Mountain Range is thousands of feet high. During thunderstorms, countless thunderbolts can be seen falling directly on it, as if the entire mountain has turned into a thunder giant. The mountains are spectacular.
The Fenglei Sect's mountain gate is built on the main peak of the Thunder Mountain Range. However, because the main peak is too high, it is not built on the top of the mountain, but on the relatively 'normal' mountainside. As for going up, it is towering. It's hard to see its top when you enter the clouds.
On the huge and majestic mountain peaks, there are palace buildings one after another. The scale of the Fenglei Sect's mountain gate is much larger than that of the Weapon Refining Sect, just like a huge city built on the mountain.
The main hall of Fenglei Sect was guarded by many buildings like pilgrims in the center. At this moment, a large group of people gathered in the main hall, which was slightly noisy. Many people were talking in low voices. There seemed to be a depressing atmosphere, and the expressions on everyone's faces were not very good.
"Ancestor is here!"
"The ancestor is out!!"
Suddenly, many people seemed to have sensed something and their expressions changed slightly. The noisy hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at an entrance on the right side of the hall with excitement and awe.
Several figures walked slowly into the hall. The one walking at the front was a white-haired old man wearing a green robe. He had a childlike face and was energetic. His eyes were indifferent but showed an invisible majesty. He just glanced at the hall when he came in. , the person who was struck by him felt his soul tremble, and did not dare to look at him at all.
Next to the old man, there was a majestic old man in purple robe. Bai Yunfei also 'knew' this man, and even destroyed his soul clone - this man was none other than the current sect leader of Fenglei Sect, Duan Leiting!
Behind Duan Leiting, there were two old men and an old woman. The auras of the three of them were much stronger than the dozens of people waiting in the hall, and they were all Emperor Realm experts.
These people walked in front of everyone without saying a word. The old man with green robe and white hair sat directly on the main seat, Duan Leiting sat next to him, and the other three emperor-level experts sat on both sides. In the frontmost seat.
It was obvious that this old man in green robes and white hair was the person with the highest status present, and he was also the strongest person.
Dong Wanfeng, the previous sect leader of Fenglei Sect, was known as the "Two Emperors of Fenglei" together with Dong Wanlei in his time. He and Dong Wanlei were not biological brothers. They were two genius disciples adopted by their master. With their Talents are given names respectively.
After Dong Wanfeng passed the position of sect leader to Duan Leiting eighty years ago, he and Dong Wanlei went into seclusion to seek a higher realm. This time the world was in chaos, only Dong Wanlei came out to take charge and personally led a team to attack the weapon refining sect. , but unexpectedly there was no return.
Dong Wanlei fell, and in addition, several emperor-level experts and more than 20 emperor-level experts dispatched this time all survived. With such huge losses, Fenglei Sect could be said to have fallen into an unprecedented crisis, and Dong Wanfeng could not help but No more exit.
Dong Wanfeng is a strong man of the same era as Shen Pojun and Chu Yintian. However, although he has been in seclusion for nearly a hundred years, he has never been able to touch the edge of the holy realm. His cultivation has stagnated at the peak of the late imperial realm, which is stronger than Dong Wanlei and Chu Yintian. Some, but not as good as Shen Pojun when he came out of seclusion.
Nowadays, there are only five Emperor Realm experts left in Fenglei Sect. Dong Wanfeng is the strongest. There is also an old monster who has just entered the late Emperor Realm. Then there is Duan Leiting, who is in the middle Emperor Realm. In addition, there is an Emperor. The two seniors are in the middle stage of the realm and the two are in the early stage of the imperial realm.
As for the powerful emperors, there were more than twenty people present, and five or six of them were juniors who had just advanced to the soul emperor...
All the disciples of Fenglei Sect have been recalled, and all the strongest combatants in the sect are here.
…
Looking at the many disciples in the sect who were watching him, Dong Wanfeng's eyes flashed with sadness and helplessness. He sighed softly in his heart and slowly said: "I have summoned everyone here because I have something to announce... From now on, I, Feng Lei, Zong withdraws from the battle in the soul master world, seals the mountain gate, and will not enter the world again for fifty years."
"What?!"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Dong Wanfeng's words immediately caused the entire hall to explode. Many Soul Emperor experts looked at Dong Wanfeng in disbelief, even thinking that they heard wrongly.
"Ancestor! Why do you do this?! Our sect has already sacrificed too much to participate in this world dispute. If we withdraw now, wouldn't we have to give up all the benefits we have obtained?! In Surabaya Province, we even grabbed a small primeval stone If the veins are mined, countless cultivation resources will be obtained!"
"Yes! And Prince Hao has made a promise that if we help him win the throne, our sect will get more resources and even give up a divine weapon to me, Fenglei Sect..."
"Is it because the attack on the Water Sect and the Weapon Refining Sect failed this time? Although we suffered heavy losses, we may not be afraid of them! The worst we can do is not provoke the Weapon Refining Sect for the time being. If they dare to come here to seek revenge, we will Before the sect, they will definitely be told that they will never come back!"
"Old Ancestor, please three or four! The sect has been closed for fifty years, and our sect's inheritance has not continued, which will definitely affect the future development of the sect!"
"Ancestor..."
For a time, many powerful people from the Fenglei Sect no longer cared about their respect for their ancestors and spoke out one after another. The hall fell into chaos. Most people did not agree with Dong Wanfeng's decision. Even if there were some who supported it, for a while They were all silent and did not speak.
"Ahem..."
Suddenly, a light cough resounded in the hall, and all discussions suddenly stopped, because the person who made this light cough was the skinny old man in the late imperial realm sitting first on the right.
Seeing that the scene had calmed down, the old man slowly spoke: "Brother, I also feel that the decision to withdraw from the fight and seal the sect is too serious. Although our Fenglei Sect suffered heavy losses this time, it is not the end of the road, and it may not be possible to start again. Opportunity to rise…”
From what he meant, it was obvious that he did not agree with Dong Wanfeng's decision.
As soon as he finished speaking, the long-bearded old man in the middle stage of the Imperial Realm next to him also spoke up: "I agree with Uncle Sun. The matter of sealing the clan is not a trivial matter. I would also like to ask Uncle Dong for three or four..."
The two old men at the early stage of the Imperial Realm on the left seemed to have the same intention. Except for Duan Leiting, who looked hesitant and silent, these powerful Imperial Realm experts all opposed Dong Wanfeng's decision.
“…”
Dong Wanfeng frowned slightly. He could see the reluctance in these people's eyes, and he sighed secretly in his heart. He turned to Duan Leiting and said, "Lei Lei, you are the current sect master. What do you think about this matter?"
"Alas..." Duan Leiting sighed hesitantly, raised his head and said, "Master, I know you made these decisions to ensure the safety of our sect, but... Elder Sun is right. Maybe it doesn't need to be so serious. With the title of Zongzong, there may be a turn for the better..."
"A turning point? Are you still expecting the Heavenly Soul Sect or the Soul Refining Sect led by Prince Nahao to lend a helping hand?" Dong Wanfeng snorted, "The operation against the Water Sect and the Refining Sect failed this time. The Imperial Heavenly Soul Sect has failed. Taking this opportunity to counterattack, Prince Hao has too much time to take care of himself, so how can he mobilize strong men to support our Fenglei Sect? As for the Soul Refining Sect, the losses are even greater than ours, but because they hide well, they are not afraid of the Artifact Refining Sect's revenge for the time being. Now You can’t even get in touch, and you still expect them to help?”
"..." After hearing Dong Wanfeng's words, Duan Leiting, Sun Lianqi and others were speechless for a moment, with a trace of bitterness showing on their lips.
Indeed, it is unrealistic to expect help from others in the current situation. The so-called alliance relationship is simply fragile. They can 'cooperate' when there are benefits and advantages, but when disaster strikes, they fly independently, and who cares about the life and death of others.
Is Fenglei Sect really going to decline from now on? Because of this failure, will we withdraw from the stage of history
Not willing to give in! !
Most people, including Duan Leiting and Sun Lianqi, were full of unwillingness. Unlike Dong Wanfeng, who had just come out of seclusion, they had sacrificed too much in this world dispute. How could they be willing to give up
"Hmph!! Although we did suffer heavy losses this time, it may not be easy for the Weapon Refining Sect to go there!! I simply don't believe the rumors that they had no casualties! It's probably because they were afraid of other people. We deliberately released such news by attacking them when they were weak! In my opinion, we might as well kill the Weapon Refining Sect now and completely eliminate them while their vitality is seriously injured!! Even if this is not the case, There is no need to be afraid of their revenge, so what if they come? I, the Fenglei Sect, are not a lamb to be slaughtered. Even if we fight to the death, we will let them have no chance of coming back!"
After a moment of silence, the long-bearded old man in the middle stage of the Imperial Realm finally couldn't help it, and snorted coldly with a ferocious expression - this person's name was Huo Zhenxiao, and he was Huo Zhenting's elder brother. Huo Zhenting fell into the Weapon Refining Sect, and of course he wanted to destroy him. He joined the Weapon Refining Sect to avenge his brother.
After listening to Huo Zhenxiao's words, Dong Wanfeng became silent for a while, and there was even a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to reach the Holy Realm in this life, and my lifespan won't be long. Maybe... I really should make a last-ditch effort for the sect before I die..."
Just when Dong Wanfeng was thinking secretly, he suddenly focused his eyes and looked up to the front as if aware. Many other people also looked outside the hall with surprised expressions.
A cyan figure rushed in hurriedly. It was a disciple of the soul master realm. He seemed to be extremely panicked.
"Sect... Sect Master!! It's bad! Lian, Weapon Refining Sect... Bai... Baiyun is coming!!"
