Chapter 683: Meeting At Pinnacle Dao

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

When Wuji woke up in a daze, he was at a total loss.

Looking around, there were Taoist scriptures on the walls all around.

Thinking about it for a moment, Wuji noticed that this place was his cave in Daoling Vast Habitat.

Why was he here?

At this moment shouldn’t he be in Huizhou, prepared to lead the 7,000 Purple Qilin Flame Spear Cavalry to attack Zong Shou’s Blood Cloud Cavalry?

Frowning, Wuji noticed that the soul within his body was extremely weak.

His limbs and body were also weak like he hadn’t exercised in a long time.

With just a slight use of Spiritual Sense he knew the reason. This was his second soul that he placed within his cave to nourish and grow as his reserve body. action

He couldn’t help but frown. What happened?

For his second soul to awaken at this moment, that meant that his main body had already died...

Right away he was filled with rage! Who dared to do that?

Although he was still alive, he had suffered heavy losses from the death of his main body.

Half of his soul was wiped out, slashing his close to 1,000-year lifespan in half.

Although this reserve body was nurtured from his own flesh and blood, for it to reach the previous level where soul and body were compatible, it needed hundreds, maybe thousands of years!

He was one of the top Deacons within Daoling Vast Habitat. Even if the Demon Sect wanted to attack him, they needed to consider it.

Who was so bold to not be afraid of Daoling Sect’s revenge?

Moreover, he had a Cavalry Army that was strong enough to wipe out a country!

Thinking about it, a name flashed across his mind, Zong Shou.

Only one person wouldn’t fear Daoling Vast Habitat. Only this person had a reason to attack.

Then were those 7,000 Purple Qilin Flame Spear Cavalry still there?

His heart tightened and he was unable to sit still anymore. He got up and walked outside.

The moment he came out from the cave he felt that the atmosphere within the Vast Habitat was extremely weird.

In the past it was peaceful and auspicious, however, most disciples today were running anxiously, looking really hurried, or they were furiously talking about something.

Many gazes landed on his body. There was pity and sympathy, but also rage.

Wuji’s heart sunk as he traveled while stepping in the air. In just a moment, he came to the front of a stone hall.

The hall was called the Pinnacle Dao Hall and when Wuji stepped in, he felt that the atmosphere was cold and heavy, close to freezing up.

The head of the Dao Palace Wu Xu frowned as he sat above.

Beside him there were tens of people who were all Daoling Vast Habitat Elders and Deacons.

Xiao Xiangzi was amongst them, only at this moment he wasn’t as arrogant as before. He carefully sat at the lowest position.

“What happened in Huizhou Island? Why did my main body fall?”

Wuji asked directly when he walked in. He himself didn’t understand, so naturally he had to ask about it.

The people in the hall exchanged glances with one another and all kept silent. However, there were a few who had a good relationship with him who explained, “Zong Shou defeated the Night Demons at the peak of Seven Cloud Mountain and he killed Minghui and the seven True Martial Swordsmen! Afterward, he dashed thousands of miles in the night and wiped out your body as well as the 7,000 Purple Qilin Flame Spear Cavalry.”

Wuji’s eyelids jumped. He had expected such an outcome. However, just hearing it now made him shocked.

7,000 Purple Qilin Flame Spear Cavalry all died? Along with Minglui and a set of True Martial Seven Part Sword formation? Then, the following two sect leaders probably died too.

Although the sky didn’t fall for Daoling Vast Habitat, it was their greatest nightmare for over thousands of years.

Daoling Vast Habitat accumulated their Grade-6 Dao Soldiers over many years and the overall number didn’t exceed 15,000. This time they lost close to half at once!

He was shocked. Although they were 10,000 miles away, he was mentally connected to his main body.

At this moment, many pictures appeared. Thousands of cavalry all couldn’t touch that pillar-like thin person.

“Speaking of which, I lost my body because of the sect?”

One sentence caused the Elders and Deacons in the hall to be startled. Wuji asked, “Zong Shou blocked my 7,000 Purple Qilin Flame Spear Cavalry by himself? How is that possible? How would the 7,000 of them all fall?”

He spoke these words not to push the blame but because he was really curious.

Even if they couldn’t fight they could split up and leave. Grade-6 Cultivators could travel in the air, and even if they couldn’t, those Xuan Flame Golden Qilin Beasts could travel 10,00 miles a day!

His friends close to him instantly understood, “Zong Shou blocked you for fifteen minutes, allowing the Blood Cloud Cavalry to rush over. This person killed millions of Night Demons and his own strength wasn’t consumed at all. He also had the strength of Huizhou. Gathering it, his strength was comparable to when Shenxiao descended. Thus, he did have the ability to block the 7,000 Purple Qilin Flame Spear Cavalry for a short time. As for why they all fell...”

The person who spoke frowned, “I also don’t understand! He should have used other methods.”

Wuji was startled and thought about something. It should have been something really important to Daoling Vast Habitat but he couldn’t remember it.

Seeing the gazes of the people around get suspicious, he stopped his thoughts, “I wanted to say something Long ago! This Zong Shou’s strength is far from that, he might not lose against the Night Demons. If we fail to assassinate him and he fights back, our Vast Habitat won’t be able to take it. What happens now?”

The people within the hall kept silent. Wuji said this to push away all the blame.

However, everyone expected this. If they were confident in pulling Wuji off his position as Deacon, they wouldn’t have let him enter the hall.

They had another reason by forcing him to say those words. Pretty much everyone looked at Wu Xu who was sitting at the center elevated area.

“I heard Zong Shou had sent a decree back to the country to ban Taoism. He wants to break our foundations and fight to the death?”

“This person is going against the path and will be punished by the Heavens. If we look at it, whose fault is it? If it was me and I was forced to such a level I would be vicious.”

“If we followed Wuji’s plan and treated them well we wouldn’t be facing this calamity.”

“The Spiritual Wave hasn’t begun and we have lost close to half our troops!”

“Not knowing their skill and acting carelessly because of interests. That was too risky. Even if it was for a Xuan Grade Vein, we couldn’t do that...”

“Anyway, we have to answer to all our disciples for the defeat today!”

“Lingyun Sect has already sent a letter to question the decree. Gantian Mountain banning Taoism has the greatest effect on them. Although they have suffered huge losses, they are still a shrine! If they no longer trust us anymore, how can we still be the leader of Taoism?”

“From today on we will have one more enemy. That is what is truly worrying.”

The sound of discussion broke out in the hall once more. Although they didn’t make it clear, their tone was pointing the spear at Wu Xu.

Wuji was silent. In terms of responsibility, Minghui was to blame. If not for him persuading the Seniors and Senior Brothers, Wu Xu wouldn’t have been so rash.

However, now that Minghui had died, he had been slain two hundred years ago and didn’t have the luck to use a second soul to revive like him.

He couldn’t help but look at Xiao Xiangzi in pity.

This person was someone who was adored by the Heavens but Zong Shou personally smashed him into the dirt. His current situation would be more awkward.

Wu Xu was his master and adored him a lot. If one said that he didn’t want to take revenge which caused the Huizhou matter, he wouldn’t believe it.

At least when Minghui rose this point, Senior Brother Wu Xu definitely just went with it.

In the Vast Habitat there were definitely many who blamed him for it.

However, at this moment, he felt more annoyed and hateful. Everything started because of that kid.

Wu Xu was silent, sitting like a dead tree, allowing the people to discuss without speaking a word.

It was only 30 minutes later when he moved his white eyebrows. He opened his eyes, his gaze like a sharp arrow.

“Enough!”

A simple word but it was like thunder, causing the entire hall to turn silent.

However, some people’s gazes were filled with mocking intent while many were holding in laughter.

“I have already asked for forgiveness from the Senior Masters and have gotten a reply. I will read it out...”

He swept the hall and stopped at Wuji for a moment before he retracted his gaze.

“This is my fault! The rise of Gantian will be one of the biggest problems in the next 100 years. If we have a chance, we need to wipe them out. There are suspicions of Wu Xu acting rashly and abusing power for personal gain. He will remain in his Daoling Palace Head position and his power will not be taken away...”

Whilst he spoke he was really serious, like he was using the tone of the Vast Habitat Ancestor.

Everyone was startled when they heard this, their faces showing some disappointment.

In the end, he was still not pulled down from his position.

Looking at the situation, Wuji frowned and then sighed.

Even if Wu Xu was punished he wouldn’t have felt happy.

He only felt emotional about the battle for power in the Vast Habitat.

The Taoist Sect had been in a huge fight for over 10,000 years and everyone wanted to hold the heart of the Vast Habitat.

The closer it was to the Spiritual Wave, the more restless they got.

“The death of 7,000 Purple Qilin Flame Spear Cavalry is hurtful but it doesn’t hurt our foundations!”

A cold word, really simply put. Wu Xu’s eyes half-closed once more.

“We can compensate them! Also call back outer sect disciples to build 10,000 cavalry. Since Zong Shou is fighting to the death with us, then we will too. This person’s Heaven Barrier is within a few years. The two Great Senior Masters of the Vast Habitat will also return today. The kid will die two years from now...”

Wuji’s eyes lit up, he was much more relaxed.

The Taoist Sect had many Temples in the Cloud World and numerous disciples, but most weren’t raised by the Vast Habitat. Losing 7,000 Grade-6 did indeed not harm their foundations. With four Great Senior Masters here, they could peacefully pass this weakest stage.

However, following this he found it inappropriate but he couldn’t recall what was wrong with it.
