So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

The slap was just a normal slap on the chessboard, but the next moment, a deafening roar suddenly came from the entire Western Region.

Then, the ground began to shake violently!

"Amitabha."

At this time, a Buddhist sound slowly resounded in the Western Region. The Buddhist sound was like thousands of people shouting together, and the sound echoed in the Nine Provinces.

Then, a golden light shot up into the sky, breaking through the long night. In a certain area of ​​the Western Region, under the gloomy black clouds, a huge Buddha statue quietly appeared in the field of vision.

Followed by the golden light surging like a tide, and the shaking ground also quietly calmed down.

In the Western Region, many Buddhist disciples all raised their heads, looking a little nervous. Although they didn't know what happened, they roughly knew that it seemed that the great power in the Western Region was fighting with the leader of the Liangyi Sect in Dongzhou.

As for the reason, it is unknown.

"Shang Yanfei, Liangyi Sect has never had any friction with the outside world in the past. Your actions this time will push Liangyi Sect into a place of no return." An evil god slowly spoke in the depths of the Southern Wilderness.

"Although Linglong's words are true, it does not mean that there will be no backlash. Do you really intend to use Liangyi Sect to attack the Southern Wilderness and the Western Region at the same time?" Another cold and gloomy voice sounded. Although the tone was extremely strong, it was actually giving Shang Yanfei a way out and did not want a real conflict.

Linglong's ability is too terrifying. Although she cannot speak frequently due to some kind of "constraint", every time she speaks, it will attract the resonance of the Great Dao. If she really fights hard, the Southern Wilderness will suffer great losses.

By then, other beings hiding in the darkness may be able to get benefits.

"Amitabha, Mr. Shang, you should think carefully before taking action."

"It is irrational to use Liangyi Sect to attack the Southern Wilderness and the Western Region." A Buddha slowly spoke.

"A purple phoenix lotus." Shang Yanfei spoke.

"As for why we need to find the Purple Phoenix Lotus in the Western Region, you know better than me."

Why did the Western Region speak up to help the Southern Wilderness when Dongzhou and the Southern Wilderness were arguing, and even stand on the side of the Southern Wilderness?

Under normal circumstances, wouldn't it be better for the Western Region to watch the snipe and clam fight in secret?

Just like the other forces that are silent at this moment.

But the Western Region opened this mouth.

The only explanation is that the Western Region was also involved in the obstruction of the Green Emperor this time, and even the Western Region and the Southern Wilderness reached some agreements, so they had to come forward.

After all, those who want to prevent the Green Emperor from rebirth...are far more than the evil gods in the Southern Wilderness.

In the past, the Green Emperor went to the Western Region, and it seems that some unpleasant things happened. This time, knowing that the Green Emperor reunited with the cauldron, the powerful people in the Western Region naturally did not want the Green Emperor to return to the unity of the Tao.

"In addition, I also want a portion of the emperor-level medicinal materials in the Southern Wilderness." Shang Yanfei spoke again calmly.

"It is far from enough to ask for medicinal materials from the Western Region and the Southern Wasteland at the same time. Relying on the Liangyi Sect alone is far from enough." Finally, an evil god in the Southern Wasteland could not help but take action. It stretched out a big hand from the depths of the Southern Wasteland, covering the sky and the sun, and reached out in the direction of Dongzhou.

In Dongzhou, many cultivators were terrified, realizing that this was an evil god in the Southern Wasteland who refused to give in and was going to take action!

However, before the big hand touched, there was a sudden thunder, and then a voice slowly sounded: "The Liangyi Sect is not enough, what about the restricted area?"

In the rolling thunder, a majestic voice resounded throughout the Nine Provinces, and before the evil god's big hand touched the edge of Dongzhou, the dark fire burned fiercely at the border of Dongzhou at that moment.

Boom!

There was a deafening vibration at the border of Dongzhou. The evil god quietly withdrew his hand, seeming a little angry: "Lord of the Forbidden Zone, what does this have to do with your Forbidden Zone?!"

In a sense, the Forbidden Zone can be said to be a special 'cave heaven'. Even if Dongzhou disappears, the Forbidden Zone still exists. This is one of the reasons why the Forbidden Zone has never intervened in any disputes in Dongzhou in the past.

However, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone took action at this time, which is a bit unreasonable.

"That cultivator is my daughter's Taoist partner." The Lord of the Forbidden Zone said lightly.

That cultivator...?

The Taoist partner of the Qing Emperor is also the son-in-law of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone...?

Even these old monsters couldn't help but feel a little incredible when they heard this, and even felt it was absurd.

With the character of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, how could he allow his son-in-law to have more than two Taoist partners at the same time?

But the Lord of the Forbidden Zone also couldn't lie about this.

This means...the boy who died unexpectedly may have really boarded the warship of the Forbidden Zone!

As the Lord of the Forbidden Zone spoke, the tense atmosphere just now seemed to have calmed down quietly.

If it was just the Liangyi Sect, the Western Region and the Southern Wasteland could unite and perhaps persuade Concubine Shang Yan to retreat, but if the Forbidden Zone, or even the Green Emperor, was added...

In the Southern Wasteland, an evil god slowly spoke: "I can give the Southern Wasteland's imperial-level medicinal materials to the Liangyi Sect."

The evil god paused and continued: "The Liangyi Sect's Ascension Conference is well-known in the Nine Provinces, and many cultivators from the Nine Provinces participate every year. How about a bet on this Ascension Conference?"

"If Dongzhou wins the Ascension Conference, my Southern Wasteland medicinal materials will be used as a gift, and I can also send an eighth-grade elixir as a reward for the Ascension Conference. If my Southern Wasteland disciples win the Ascension Conference, you only need to return a portion of the imperial-level medicinal materials to us afterwards, how about that?"

"If we bet on this, the Purple Phoenix Lotus can be handed over to the sect today. What do you think, Mr. Shang?" The great power in the Western Region also spoke up.

"The winner of this Ascension Conference will be given an emperor-level medicinal material and two eighth-grade elixirs. The three parties will each give one."

Once such a being in the Hedao Realm takes action, Jiuzhou will be in chaos.

Two emperor-level medicinal materials are extremely precious to such a great power, but the Southern Wilderness and the Western Region are already in the wrong, plus the intervention of the forbidden area, and even the existence of the reincarnated queen... still need to be carefully considered.

The great powers from all walks of life have all sensed the breath of the reincarnated queen. The puppet beside her is also the 'Reincarnated Queen', and is also in the Hedao Realm, which is definitely not to be underestimated.

At present, the rebirth of the Green Emperor is a foregone conclusion. In addition, the combination of factors such as the Liangyi Sect and the forbidden area also makes both parties not want to continue to entangle in this matter.

What's more, both the Western Region and the Southern Wilderness have considerable confidence in the disciples of their own clan.

Concubine Shang Yan tapped the table lightly with her knuckles and said calmly: "One thing is another, the bet is fine, but it has nothing to do with this matter."

Many people were shocked. They didn't expect the sect leader to be so strong. She meant that she could accept the bet at the Ascension Conference, but this matter would be dealt with separately.

"What I want is your apology, not to entangle the two things together."

When the voice rang out again, the evil god in the Southern Wasteland was silent for a long time, and the Buddha of the Western Regions did not speak either.

"There will be a natural disaster in the Southern Wasteland." Lin Ling opened her lips lightly.

As soon as the voice fell, a torrential rain began to fall in the Southern Wasteland for no reason.

At the same time, in the depths of the Southern Wilds, a god slowly spoke: "This incident was indeed caused by some people who had just joined the Southern Wilds and were ignorant. The imperial-level medicinal materials will be used as an apology. In addition, we will also send people to apologize to the Yaochi Holy Land in person later."

If Mu Zhian was present, he would probably complain at this moment: Come on, whatever happened to the classics was done by temporary employees recruited from outside, and it has nothing to do with us.

"Amitabha, Zihuang Buddha Lotus, I will hand it over to Mr. Shang today." The great man in the Western Region also spoke.

In fact, the biggest guide of this matter was the first generation of demon emperors, and both the Southern Wilds and the Western Regions were just going with the flow.

But the Southern Wilds and the Western Regions still apologized by default, because they were indeed not right in this matter.

But the real reason was the existence of the spirit dragon. If she really spoke, it would cause huge casualties. Neither the Western Region nor the Southern Wilds were willing to really take action, which would cause turmoil in Jiuzhou and affect their future practice.

Under normal circumstances, Linglong would not interfere with the affairs of the outside world. No one knew why she would help a young cultivator, and even said what she meant several times.

No one was willing to continue gambling.

Shang Yanfei quietly withdrew her gaze and said calmly: "Since you are all interested in the Ascension Conference just now, I will accompany you to gamble."

When this voice sounded, thunder suddenly rumbled, which was the response of the heaven to the three-party bet.

The bet between Liangyi Sect, Western Region and Southern Wilderness!

A stone stirred up a thousand waves. This news made many young cultivators in Dongzhou excited.

The geniuses of Jiuzhou gathered in Liangyi Sect, and will select the strongest among the younger generation in the Ascension Conference!

There are many geniuses in Jiuzhou, and no one is willing to give in to anyone, because this is an era of geniuses, and all kinds of powerful physiques basically exist in this era.

But what kind of physique can make it to the end of the Ascension Conference is very exciting.

Until the three parties took back their magical powers, people in all parts of Jiuzhou were still discussing this topic enthusiastically.

And the Liangyi Sect was more lively than ever before.

And in this lively atmosphere, Mu Zhian's "corpse" was also sent back to the Liangyi Sect that night.

Tonight, the Liangyi Sect was drizzling, and the rain was beating on the ground, as if countless lotus flowers were blooming.

I don't know who discovered this first, and almost that night, the news of Mu Zhian's death spread throughout the Liangyi Sect.

The fairy in the green skirt slowly pushed open the door of Tianhe Garden and walked into the other garden.

Beside her, Ye Lingxuan and Wei Mengrou had no expression on their faces.

Although the medicinal herbs in the Southern Wilderness may be able to piece together the scattered spiritual consciousness and find it again, no one knows whether he can be rescued in the end.

Even though they were hopeful, seeing Mu Zhian's pale face when he was sealed in the ice sculpture still made Ye Lingxuan and others feel a prick of pain in their hearts.

"I'll go find Qian'er first." Ye Lingxuan whispered.

Ye Qian didn't know about this yet. Not only Ye Qian, but probably most people would not have thought that the three parties had made such a big fuss this time, and even almost started a war, just because of the death of a cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm.

...

Ye Lingxuan walked into the villa where she had lived for the past six months, and soon saw her sister Ye Qian in front of the courtyard.

This innocent-looking girl was sitting alone in the courtyard, looking at the misty rain, dangling her feet in boredom, her back looking a little lonely.

This scene also stung Ye Lingxuan's heart. This girl with an almost perfect personality and even appearance felt a little guilty and uneasy when facing her sister.

Today's Ye Qian is no longer the little monk in the Qi training realm in the past. The more Qing Emperor's inheritance she accepts, the stronger her strength will be, and now she has reached the level of the second level of God Refining.

Ye Qian turned his head and looked over as if he felt something.

Then, those big bright eyes flashed with surprise and said: "Sister, are you back?!"

After saying that, regardless of the drizzle outside, he ran forward and threw himself into Ye Lingxuan's arms.

Ye Lingxuan had a smile on her face, as if she wanted to maintain her usual indifference, but when she looked at the sunny smile on the face of the girl in her arms, the smile on the face of the forbidden saint slowly faded away.

She lowered her eyes slightly, but her formerly magnificent pupils seemed a little dim at the moment.

"What's wrong with sister? Is the inheritance not going well?" Ye Qian also noticed the abnormality and couldn't help but look up at Ye Lingxuan, and at the same time glanced at the 'doll' standing quietly beside her.

Ye Lingxuan opened her mouth slightly, and after a long time, she spoke softly: "The inheritance went smoothly."

Ye Qian tilted her head in confusion and couldn't help but look at the girl in the purple skirt. She asked strangely: "Then why does my sister look unhappy? Even a monk has to keep a good mood. There is too much psychological pressure. Will it affect your practice?"

"This is what the master said." When Ye Qian said this, he pulled Ye Lingxuan to sit in the courtyard and said, "By the way, sister, do you know what happened to the sect master and the other two major forces today?"

Ye Lingxuan nodded slightly.

"Senior Qing Emperor doesn't know what's going on... This incident seems to have been caused by various forces trying to stop Senior Qing Emperor, right?" Ye Qian said.

"The real reason is the work of the first-generation Demon Emperor's men. The Southern Wilderness and the Western Regions are secretly adding fuel to the flames."

Ye Lingxuan paused and continued: "Qing Emperor has returned to the sect."

Ye Qian's eyes moved slightly, and he turned to look at his sister, his eyes flashing with joy, and said: "Senior Qingdi is back?"

"Then... Brother Mu should be back too, right?"

Ye Lingxuan's expression froze for a moment, but she didn't speak for a long time.

Raindrops hit the bluestone road outside the courtyard, and the crackling sound rang in the ears of the sisters.

"...Sister?" Ye Qian whispered tentatively, peeking at Ye Lingxuan's gloomy expression.

"Did you quarrel with Brother Mu?"

Under the gaze of Ye Qian's bright peach blossom eyes, Ye Lingxuan bit her lip and subconsciously grasped her sister's little hand: "Brother Mu is dead."

Ye Qian originally wanted to persuade the two to reconcile, and was even thinking about what to say better, but when she heard Ye Lingxuan's answer, she couldn't help but be stunned.

It wasn't until a long time later that she stammered: "Sister, sister... what did you just say?"

There was a hint of trembling in that voice.

Ye Lingxuan bit her lower lip and whispered: "Brother Mu was attacked and killed when he returned to Yaochi. When I found out, his spiritual consciousness had disappeared."

Ye Qian's original innocent smile slowly solidified on his face, his eyes slowly opened wide, and he subconsciously held on to his clothes.

"I don't believe it."

There was a cry in her voice, and her eyes flashed with crystal light. She supported herself and stood up: "Sister must be lying to me. I, I want to go to Tianhe Garden to find him!"

After she finished speaking, she staggered towards the door of Bieyuan, but as she walked, she slowly stopped. In the past, it only took one stick to go from here to Tianhe Garden to see Mu Zhian. The time of fragrance seems to be extremely far away for today's girls.

Ye Qian slowly hugged her knees and languished on the ground, her smooth forehead pressed against her knees. Her beautiful dress was soon wetted by the rain, and water droplets streaked along her cheeks. There seemed to be tears shining in the dimness. .

Ye Lingxuan opened the oil-paper umbrella, quietly came to her sister's side, squatted down, put her arms around Ye Qian's shoulders, and leaned her face on her shoulders, seeming to comfort her sister, and also seemed to want to find someone herself. rely on.

"Master seems very sad, do you need me to do anything?" the puppet next to him asked.

This is a woman with a beautiful face. Her appearance looks no different from that of a normal woman. Although she keeps her aura to herself, part of the reason why the Western Region and Southern Wilderness Association agreed to Concubine Shang Yan's conditions was because of this 'doll'.

"No need now." Ye Lingxuan said softly.

"You mean, there will be needs later?" the puppet asked.

Ye Lingxuan raised her head and looked at the rain falling in the dark night, feeling Ye Qian's slightly trembling body, and gently stroked her sister's hair that was wet by the rain.

"If Brother Mu's spiritual consciousness really cannot be found in the end," she turned her head and looked at the doll.

"The stability of Kyushu has nothing to do with me."
