Yinshan Record

Chapter 699 The Sincerity of Cooperation between the Two Elders of Yuyang
Su Che had a lot on his mind.

Destiny can be seen as an obstacle on one's own path.

Because her original destiny was stolen by the White Deer Cave, she was subsequently targeted by them as well, leading to several twists and turns in her life.

If I had to pinpoint the true life-or-death crisis I faced upon arriving in this world, it would have been the pageboy lying in ambush at White Deer Cave. Had it not been for the diabolo's assistance, I'm afraid I would already be dead.

Not to mention joining the Yellow Heaven Path and getting involved with the Zhongshan Society, and other such things.

All grudges and grievances originated from this.

Fate is ethereal and intangible, yet it is undeniably real.

Otherwise, what did Bailudong collect? And what did their disciples consume?
However, according to what Lian Chengbi said before his spirit dissipated, the so-called destiny should only exist after the Xuandu Palace re-established the earth, water, fire, and wind elements.

In other words, it was born after the fall of the ancient Heavenly Court. However, before it could finish speaking, it was devoured by the laws of heaven and earth and vanished without a trace.

Is what he said true or false?

Did people not have destiny in the ancient and prehistoric times?
All of this forced Su Che to be even more cautious.

If the actions of Bailudong were tacitly approved by Xuandu Palace, then things would be even more complicated.

Fortunately, Liu Yi's clone was still at White Deer Cave at the moment, so they took this opportunity to investigate.

"Junior Brother Su, is this the Yuyang Mountain's base?"

While they were pondering this, they turned through many streets and alleys and arrived at the location of Yuyang Mountain's camp.

The campsite on Yuyang Mountain had no other arrangements except for a long banner without a flagpole floating in the air, on which were written the four large characters "Yuyang Righteousness". Then, layers of curtains were spread out.

Although there weren't many, they enclosed a fairly large area of ​​land.

This also shows that Yuyang Mountain is a well-known name in the cultivation world.

There were also camps on the left and right sides of this camp. On the left, chanting filled the air, and white light shot into the sky, forming the four large characters "Chengzhao Lanruo" in the sky.

On the other side, the sky was filled with dark clouds, with eerie light rising into the sky, and above them floated a huge plaque that read "City of Six Desires".

Yuyang Mountain, Qingwang Valley, Liuyu City, and Chengzhao Temple are all long-established sects in the Central Plains.

However, Six Desires City is located near the Northern Wilderness, and people rarely travel south. Green King Valley, on the other hand, is a sect located in the Southern Wilderness, and strictly speaking, it is not in the Central Plains at all.

Chengzhao Temple, located in Pingcheng, the former capital of the Northern Dynasties, is one of the few remaining Buddhist lineages in China. However, it is said that it has its own unique system and its cultivation methods are quite special. It has been expelled from the Buddhist ranks by the Western Buddhist Kingdom.

The East Sea Sword Palace's setup is quite ingenious; putting these families together in one place almost feels like drawing a circle around a prison.

Before Su Che and his two companions arrived at the Jade Yang Mountain territory, disciples responsible for welcoming and seeing them off came forward.

"May I ask how the three of you are addressed? What can I do for you at my Yuyang Mountain?"

The disciple who came up was also at the Core Formation stage. His breath was long and deep, unlike that of ordinary Core Formation cultivators. Upon closer comparison, he was even stronger than Lian Chengbi, whom he had killed before.

As expected, Yuyang Mountain sent its elite troops this time.

"Please inform them that an old friend of Huang Tiandao has come to visit."

"So it is the immortals of Huang Tiandao."

The disciple's face lit up with joy.

"Senior Sister has already given instructions. Please come in, Master."

Na Huan Dan led the way, guiding Su Che and his two companions into the central tent.

Upon entering the tent, there was no one else in sight, only a venerable Elder Bu Xu. He was dressed as a Taoist priest, with a short sword at his waist. His hair and beard were all white, his long eyebrows were flowing, and his eyes were very bright.

"Elder Ming, these three are highly accomplished masters from Huang Tiandao..."

"Ugh."

Elder Buxu reached out his hand.

“I am an old acquaintance of Senior Brother Jiang.” He said, bowing to Jiang Shoucheng. “Back then, we stood shoulder to shoulder with Senior Brother and fought against thousands of demons. Mingrui will never forget it.”

"Brother Ming's sword shines in the void. Under the light of Shaoyang Lingguang sword qi, it arouses the true meaning of the Vermilion Bird. Sooner or later, he will attain immortality."

Jiang Shoucheng clasped his hands in agreement.

Just as the two were about to continue their conversation, the curtain was lifted again, and a black-faced, bearded man with a large beard walked in from outside.

He was dressed in a red robe, exuding a sharp and charismatic aura.

"But Senior Brother Li has arrived? Hahaha, I cast a divination this morning, and the divination said that a noble person was coming. I was saying that there could be any noble person in this wretched place. I didn't expect that your sect would actually send Senior Brother Li."

As the dark-faced Bu Xu spoke, he grabbed Li Shouchang's arm.

"Senior Brother Li, it's been many years. You're even more impressive than before."

“Song Tietou, I see that your cultivation level is also rising daily.”

Li Shouchang laughed heartily.

"Back then, when you and I destroyed the pleasure quarters of the Hehuan Sect, we were only at the Rejuvenation Core stage. Now, you are a Void Step expert."

"What you're saying, senior brother? We're all just amateurs, so who looks down on whom?"

After a few words, another lively scene ensued.

Looking at the scene before him, Su Che immediately understood that Yu Yang Mountain's arrangements were indeed appropriate.

In the Xuanmen (Taoist sect), fellow practitioners with similar cultivation levels, regardless of gender or species, generally address each other as "Senior Brother." If their cultivation levels differ, the one with higher cultivation is the elder, and the one with lower cultivation is the junior.

According to Xue Baizhi, a total of two Bu Xu and twelve Huan Dan came to Yu Yang Mountain this time.

Indeed, it is a gathering of the elite.

Both of these Bu Xu had a past connection with Huang Tiandao, and Su Che had heard of their reputations before.

The first one, the white-browed old Taoist, was called "Fuyun Sou". This Mingrui was a well-known Bu Xu on Yuyang Mountain and an old friend of Jiang Shoucheng. When they entered the void to cultivate the purest and most profound truth, they were often companions.

They are considered legitimate fellow practitioners.

The second is Song Shiyuan, the famous "Immortal in Fire" of Yuyang Mountain. He is one of the few Bu Xu on Yuyang Mountain who does not cultivate sword qi, but follows the Five Elements method, making him a semi-anomaly on Yuyang Mountain.

However, since Su Che knew about the problems with the inheritance of Yuyang Mountain and the events of that year, he could almost conclude that this Song Shiyuan was a backup plan prepared by Yuyang Mountain for the inheritance of the sect.

After all, it is almost certain that the fundamental lineage of Yuyang Mountain originated from outsiders. Even with several changes made within the sect, it is unlikely that all hidden dangers could be eliminated.

Song Shiyuan's move can be considered a brilliant strategy in Yuyang Mountain's pursuit of innovation and change.

This "Immortal in Fire" was not only proficient in the Five Elements method, but also an expert in weapon crafting, and was an old friend of Li Shouchang.

Yu Yangshan selected the two of them to travel with Xue Baizhi, with whom he had a past relationship, and even arranged for Xue Baizhi to be in the lead, with the two Bu Xu in charge.

It can be said that they specifically requested to cooperate with Huang Tiandao.

This configuration alone demonstrates Yuyang Mountain's sincerity in cooperation.

"This must be Senior Brother Su, right?"

Song Shiyuan turned to look at Su Che, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said, "Indeed, a young hero, extraordinary indeed."

"With such sharp edges, you and I should give each other a wide berth."

Mingrui also came to pay his respects.

"Bai Zhi is meditating and practicing her cultivation. Please wait a moment, senior brothers."

Mingrui looked at Su Che as he spoke.

"I wonder what brings you here, fellow disciples?"
