my fate is a monster

Chapter 156 Great Protector

Golden Dome Square of Yunzhen Taoist Palace.

The sun was shining brightly and the wind was gentle, making it a wonderful scene.

But at this moment, it was full of solemnity.

The strong men from the Xijing Dao Sect and the aides of the Zhenxie Division who came to assist the fists all gathered on the west side of the square and took their seats according to the guests' positions.

On the east side of the square are the disciples of Yunzhen Taoist Palace, led by Xu Yuan. They are all wearing green Taoist robes, carrying magic swords on their backs, and standing solemnly.

The center of the square was originally an open platform, generally used to gather disciples to hold important events in the sect.

At this moment, instead of it, there stood an iron pillar exuding azure luster.

Within a foot of the pillar, there was a faint surge of lightning, and the aura fluctuations were even more intense.

This is Yunzhen's execution array. It is not an ordinary iron pillar. It is condensed and refined with Yunzhen's magic array. It has been buried deep at the bottom of Yunzhen's Golden Dome Square.

The Yunzhen Execution Formation is the highest level of punishment that Yunzhen Dao Palace specially uses to deal with rebels and intruders in the sect.

Generally only the head can open it himself.

The purpose is naturally not strict, but it is to establish prestige.

Sumikaze and Shinichi sat in front of the guest seats on the west side.

After being baptized by the Taoist competition, the two became good friends.

"If Pindao remembers correctly, Yunzhen hasn't activated the execution array in 30 years, right?"

Staring at the execution array with fierce aura, Zhen Zhen murmured.

"Indeed, the last Yunzhen trial was 31 years ago." Chunfeng beside him said while looking at the towering execution formation.

Zhenyi raised the corners of his mouth and said, "It is said that this Yunzhen Great Judgment usually targets more than ten people who have committed heinous crimes against our sect."

"Once the Yunzhen trial begins, both the primary culprit and the minor accomplices who were exploited will be sentenced to death."

"This execution array actually contains the divine will of an ancient ferocious beast sealed within it. It is said to be extremely murderous. The final death of any murderer who has been identified by its divine will will be extremely tragic..."

"And it is said that there are no less than 500 rebellious people in Yunzhen's trial this time... To execute so many people in public, it is almost as if they are catching up with the demon sect of the Heavenly Demon Sect!"

The four elders and Zhiying who betrayed Yun Zhen and stabbed Zhen Heng in the back this time.

They are all high-level officials of Yunzhen Taoist Palace.

Among them, the Seal Hall and the Fighting Strength Hall were personally controlled by two elders, and their total number of people exceeded [-].

That day at Yunzhen Medical Center, the two halls and the four elders besieged the head Zhiheng.

Later, the four elders were removed by Qin Yu.

The Seal Hall and the Battle Power Hall were once again under the control of their masters.

But if we talk about it, these three hundred strong men have all committed the crime of treason and injustice. According to the judgment of Yunzhen's great trial, they will not survive.

So Shinichi has this to say.

Chunfeng listened and sighed: "The Yunzhen Grand Trial is unique in the entire Xijing Daomen. The reason why the Yunzhen Dao Palace can continue to this day is that it has always been the most powerful opponent of Taiyi and the whole town. The greatest deterrence lies in this execution array."

When Zhenyi heard this, he couldn't help but frown and said: "How can the power of the majestic Taoist sect's continuous reproduction be based on punishment? This is really unbelievable."

"Executing so many people at once, will Yun Zhen be able to survive in the future?"

Chunfeng looked around, then leaned over and said in Zhenyi's ear: "Although the Taoist sect pays attention to complying with the weather, in the final analysis, it is actually no different from other sects."

"If you want your sect to continue to grow and have disciples continue to come to join us, clear rewards and punishments are fundamental."

"Otherwise, those who have made merit will not be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes will not be punished. Who will come to worship the mountain gate? The purpose of the Yunzhen Great Trial is to make those rebellious people get the punishment they deserve. Speaking of which, on this point, whether it is me, Taiyi, or all of you Town, they are all inferior to Yunzhen."

There was a hint of disdain on the corner of Shinichi's mouth, and he responded softly: "It's okay to have clear rewards and punishments, but we are a Taoist sect after all. To torture and kill rebels in public like this, there are still so many people... Haha..."

Among the whole town Taoist palace and Yunzhen Taoist palace, one is the second and the third in the Xijing Taoist sect.

The two factions are equally matched in terms of strength, although neither is able to attack the Taiyi Palace, which is firmly in first place.

But the second and third positions change hands frequently.

Therefore, among the entire Xijing Taoist sect, the relationship between Yunzhen and the whole town is the most delicate.

Secretly, both of them disobeyed the other, especially the whole town, which was famous for caring for its disciples, and was most disdainful of Yun Zhen's arbitrary execution method.

Junfeng also looked back at Shinichi, shook his head and said nothing.

Compared to Zhenyi, Chunfeng's thoughts are almost the same as Zhiheng's.

Such a big thing happened, and Zhenzhen Zhen almost fell. If we don't use iron fist to turn the tide, Yunzhen may fall in the future.

"Shinichi has really been in seclusion for a long time, he is too naive!" Chunfeng thought secretly in his heart and stopped talking nonsense to him.

While the two were talking.

The staff of the Suppression of Evil Department sitting on the left side of Chunfeng were all looking around, especially Mr. Hu, the Suppression and Evil Envoy with the highest official position among the staff present, who was also slightly panicked.

There is no other reason.

They could not find Gu Nanchao, the commander of the Suppressing Evil Division who was supporting Yunzhen Taoist Palace this time.

"You two real people are well. Have you ever met Commander Gu Du?"

Mr. Hu sent people to search several times, but Gu Nanchao was nowhere to be seen, so he had to ask Chunfeng beside him.

Chunfeng looked back, shook his head and said, "Didn't Commander Gu Du go to the east to help the ancestral line? Why, he didn't come back?"

Master Hu shook his head and said: "Everyone ordered the front leg to go to the east side of the ancestral line to suppress the ferocious beast. When the back leg arrived, he disappeared..."

Junfeng asked Shinichi beside him.

Zhenyi also shook his head and said: "Pindao has never seen Commander Gu Du, maybe he returned to the Suppression of Evil Division on his own? Mr. Hu might as well send a message to the Suppression of Evil Division to ask."

Speaking of which, Gu Nanchao had some connections with the Taoist Palace in the whole town.

Shinichi has a pretty good impression of this good-looking capital commander.

Mr. Hu frowned and said to himself: "Even if he wants to leave, at least he has to say hello to his subordinates, right? This is too casual."

Just as he was talking, he suddenly felt a slight fluctuation in his breath and quickly took out a white message jade token from his storage bag.

Sneaking a trace of true energy, a symbol that only the Zhenxie Division's Zhenxie can understand appeared on the message jade plate.

Mr. Hu only glanced at it, then immediately shook his hands, and the jade plaque fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

The next moment, the expression on Mr. Hu's face was as condensed as frost. His figure was like a clay or wood sculpture, his eyes were bulging out, and his face was the color of pig liver with fear.

Even so, it was difficult to conceal the panic in his heart.

"Master Gu's life stone...is extinguished..." A voice as thin as a mosquito's fly came from Master Hu's mouth. Even he himself could not believe the result.

"what?"

"What did you say?"

The next moment, in the west stand, Shinichi and Chunfeng's expressions changed at the same time, and they both looked at the dumbfounded Master Hu.

There is no need to say more about what it means when the life stone is extinguished.The dignified commander of the Suppressing Evil Division said he came to Yunzhen to help him, but it was better to say that he came to go through the motions. He was just giving Yun Zhen face by the Suppressing Division. Everyone knew that Gu Nanchao would never really contribute.

Why was the life stone extinguished?

What kind of existence actually killed Gu Nanchao?

"The master is here!"

"Master Qin is here!"

Just at this moment, a deep-breathing voice came over.

Following the words, Zhiheng Zhenren, who was wearing an apricot-yellow Taoist robe and wearing a Five Mountains Temple on his head, held the head whisk in his hand, the brilliance in his eyes faded, and he walked out calmly.

Next to him was Qin Yu, who had put on a brand new Taoist robe. Apart from looking sickly, there was nothing surprising about him.

However, Master Zhiheng was very polite to Qin Yu, smiling and talking in low voices from time to time, just like a friend who had forgotten the year.

The two people walked up the central steps and arrived at the main seat in an instant.

"Everyone, be silent." At this time, Xu Shuang, a close disciple of Master Zhiheng, walked up to the center and released his true energy, suppressing the noisy sounds in the field.

Everyone immediately stopped whispering and looked at the field together.

Junfeng, Shinichi, and Mr. Hu still couldn't hide the shock on their faces, but they all turned around and looked over.

The three of them saw together that Qin Yu was sitting with Zhiheng Zhenren.

Another wave of suspicion rushed into my heart.

"Although this Qin Yu is powerful, he is a disciple of Lao Ya Guan. How come he sits on Yunzhen's head position?"

"What is Master Zhiheng doing?"

Shinichi and Junfeng looked at each other, feeling suspicious and a little dissatisfied.

It stands to reason that the two young men ranked first and second in Xijing Daomen are the ones you, Yun Zhen, should win over the most, right?

Why can we only sit in the guest seat, but Qin Yu can sit in the guest seat?
Except for the two of them.

The other strong men also looked suspicious.

Especially the Yunzhen disciples sitting in rows on the east side were all puzzled and whispered in secret.

The four elders are dead and Zhiying is captured.

The upper echelon of Yunzhen Dao Palace should undergo a major change.

This makes some other disciples of the Zhizi generation and the Xuzi generation eager to try, each secretly hoping that they can enter a high-level position.

At this time, they saw an outsider, and everyone felt a little unhappy.

"Yunzhen Taoist Palace encountered such a catastrophe, and it was all thanks to the help of all the powerful people that we were able to turn the danger into safety. Here, I, Yunzhen Taoist Palace, have prepared some small gifts for you, and they will be sent to you after the Yunzhen Great Trial is over. In hand, I hope you won’t refuse.”

In accordance with Zhiheng Zhenren's intention, Xushuang first announced the final result of Yunzhen's ancestral lineage.

According to the size of Yunzhen Taoist Palace, any strong person who comes to help with boxing can at least get a middle-grade magic weapon.

After the words fell, a look of joy appeared on everyone's faces.

Most people don’t contribute much anyway.

Later, those who re-sealed the ancestral veins and suppressed the ferocious beasts were all Zhiheng Zhenren who had regained their cultivation in the Eighth Realm.

Even Junfeng and Shinichi didn't even break a sweat, and the matter of Yun Zhen's ancestral line was declared over.

Not to mention some other people with low cultivation levels who came to fish in troubled waters.

Based on this calculation, being able to obtain a medium-grade magic weapon is indeed a blessing from heaven.

After rewarding the guests.

Xu Shuang turned around and came to Zhiheng Zhenren, and respectfully took a piece of silk scroll from Zhiheng's hand.

Qin Yu sat next to Master Zhiheng and saw that the silk scroll looked like an imperial edict from the emperor, except that it was not embroidered with dragons and phoenixes.

There are only two gold characters in seal script on the back of the silk scroll: Yunzhen.

"Is this going to be canonized?" Qin Yu's heart moved. Even he didn't know what medicine Zhiheng was selling in his gourd.

Xu Huang took the silk scroll and returned to the center of the square. Under the release of his true energy, the silk scroll opened on its own and emerged in the void.

After secretly taking a breath, Xu Shuang read the contents on the silk scroll aloud:

"There is a great calamity in the clouds, the ancestral veins are broken, and ferocious beasts attack... Fortunately, Lao Yaguan Qin Yu and Qin Tianshi are able to turn the tide, support the building from collapse, and preserve my Yunzhen ten thousand-year foundation!"

"A certain person is Zhiheng, the head of Yunzhen. After communicating with all the ancestors of Yunzhen, he granted Qin Yu the post of Heavenly Master Yunzhen's great protector after receiving the approval!"

"Gift: Yun Zhen protects Dao in the rough! Thank you Qin Tianshi for your kindness!"

After reading it, even Xushuang himself stared wide-eyed, clearly unable to believe the text written on the silk scroll.

The voice fell.

Thousands of people in the field all fell into a brief dead silence in an instant.

Everyone looked at Qin Yu sitting on the main seat, like countless burning torches.

When Qin Yu heard this, his heart suddenly thumped, and he turned back to look at Zhiheng Zhenren.

Master Zhiheng also happened to turn his head, and their eyes met in the air. Zhiheng smiled slightly and nodded to him.

"Old Silver Coin has dragged me onto the thief's boat..."

"I couldn't join Yunzhen Dao Palace last time, but I didn't expect that I couldn't escape this old silver coin's trick this time."

"Where is the so-called ancient jade that needs to be researched? It's obviously the jade that Xushuang just said was the Yunzhen Dao Protector!"

"Zhiheng, the old silver coin, was afraid that I would refuse, so he first tricked me into accepting the jade that protects the Tao, and then killed him first and then announced it, and directly recruited me to join the gang in front of the public..."

"It's really a good idea and a good way..."

Qin Yu suddenly understood and opened his mouth to say something, but heard Zhiheng whisper softly: "To open the burial ground, we should need the luck of my Yunzhen Dao Palace. Junior brother, please don't refuse."

I'm... okay...

Qin Yu sighed secretly, but the expression on his face was unwavering, making everyone in the audience unpredictable.

wow——

The next moment, a burst of noise broke out in the dead silence.

"The position of Great Protector of Yunzhen! Isn't this on an equal footing with the leader? Yunzhen Taoist Palace has not had a Great Protector for 500 years! Why was it that once it was reset, such an important position was given to an outsider?!"

"Yes, it is said that the previous Great Protector of Yunzhen was one generation higher than the current head of Yunzhen, and he was the one with the strongest cultivation and strength in Yunzhen Taoist Palace. In the position of Great Protector, there is only one His duty is to protect Yunzhen, and he is not usually controlled by the leader of Yunzhen; if the leader makes a mistake, the Great Protector has the power to punish him!"

"500 years ago, a head of Yunzhen thought that the position of the Great Protector divided his power, so after the death of this Protector, he announced that there would no longer be a Great Protector in the future. Why is it that this Protector is being replaced today? Master Qin made an exception!?"

...For a while, everyone was talking about anything, and some people directly called out the importance of Yunzhen's position as the Great Dharma Protector.

The disciples in the field, whether they were disciples of Yunzhen Taoist Palace, or strong men from the Zhenxie Division, Quanzhen, and Taiyi, were all shocked and unbelievable.
