Xiuxian: I studied abroad in modern times

Chapter 610 The Sun Changes Flags, Air Defense System

Bai Lian turned around, opened her mouth, wanted to say something but couldn't, but everyone could understand the meaning in her eyes—why?
Not to mention him, Yunfan and the others, who originally wanted to persuade the Holy Ancestor, all stood there dumbfounded, wondering why the Holy Ancestor would do such a thing.

Even the Heavenly Emperor and others, who had transformed into Lu Clan members, were somewhat bewildered at this moment—to be honest, they had not anticipated Yun Zhenxian's arrow at all.

Yun Zhenxian lowered the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow in his hand, raised his head, and looked up at the clouds. The Heavenly River Legion was already close at hand.

"For Haori Mountain."

His voice was very soft, as if he were answering a question, or perhaps sighing.

Bai Lian's eyes bulged wide, her gaze filled with hatred, as if she felt he was making excuses—I came to help Haori Mountain, and you killed me, yet you claim it was for Haori Mountain?
Yun Zhenxian shook his head slightly, as if sighing: "What the Holy Monk said is very good. If we had two Golden Immortals, we could withstand this sword formation and wait for Leiyin Temple's help."

Yunfan couldn't help but nod.

He didn't dare to speak earlier because he felt that Bai Lian's words made some sense—to be fair, if he could protect Haori Mountain, he didn't want to surrender.

"But Holy Monk, without two Golden Immortals in your sect, you simply cannot stop them."

Bai Lian was stunned.

Yun Zhenxian lowered his head, looking at the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow in his hand, then looked up at the Heavenly Emperor and the others, his tone helpless: "Everyone, am I right?"

……

Yunfan felt increasingly lost.

Bai Lian's eyes suddenly changed, as if she understood something.

The Heavenly Emperor and Uncle Pang and the others exchanged glances, shook their heads, and released the Seventy-Two Transformations of Earthly Fiends, revealing their original appearances.

"Zheng Fa! And...all of them?"

Yun Fan was shocked. Yes, he knew there were spies in the Yun Clan, and the Holy Ancestor dared not act rashly, but he never expected there to be so many!

In the Hao Ri Secret Realm, Yuan Zun Peak, which is not open to ordinary people, apart from the Holy Ancestor and a few others, everyone else is from the Nine Mountains Sect.

The entire Lu Clan has been impersonated by people from the Nine Mountains Sect!
Whose Yuanzun Peak is this?

To be honest, in this situation, Yunfan actually felt like he was the outsider.

He looked around and a ridiculous thought suddenly came to his mind—so the entire Haori Mountain was actually the most loyal of the Yunluo and Liang tribes, who were clamoring to surrender?

……

The Heavenly Emperor looked at Immortal Yun and couldn't help but praise him, saying, "Such trivial skills are indeed hard to hide from Your Majesty's discerning eyes."

Looking at the Nine Mountains Sect disciples covering the entire mountainside, Yun Zhenxian took a deep breath and said from the bottom of his heart, "I didn't see that many..."

"then you……"

"All I know is that you can destroy the Golden Sun Burning Heaven Formation with ease."

Yun Fan, who was standing to the side, also understood. The people from the Nine Mountains Sect had entered Haori Mountain. On the one hand, they had already discovered a lot of information about the great formations, and they might have even found out the flaws in the Golden Sun Burning Heaven Formation.

On the other hand, an even more fatal problem is that if these people from the Nine Mountains Sect cooperate from within, it's hard to say whether the great formation will be effective.

The Heavenly Emperor chuckled lightly. Yun Zhenxian was right; this person was quite cautious. Even now, they hadn't figured out the core runes of the Golden Sun Burning Heaven Formation. But that didn't mean they were helpless—bad things were always easier than good things, not to mention that everyone here was from the Nine Mountains Sect.

Yun Zhenxian looked at Bai Lian and sighed, "Even if you, Holy Monk, awaken the Primordial Dharma Body, I'm afraid you still can't defeat that sword formation; it will only increase casualties."

Upon hearing this, Yunfan felt fortunate. According to the Holy Ancestor, Haori Mountain had no chance of winning. The Holy Ancestor's defection at the last minute meant that this arrow might have truly saved the lives of both clans.

After Yun Zhenxian finished speaking, he turned to look at the Heavenly Emperor, holding the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow and clasping his hands in greeting, "Yun Wuji greets Alliance Leader Zheng."

His eyes looked somewhat uneasy.

The Heavenly Emperor and Uncle-Master Pang exchanged a glance before turning to Yun Wuji and asking, "Are you willing to submit?"

Yun Wuji smiled wryly, "Alliance Leader Zheng still doesn't believe me? Did I have a choice?"

The Heavenly Emperor chuckled, preparing to say something, when suddenly he felt a boom behind him, and Buddhist light flooded the entire cave like a tide.

He turned around abruptly, only to see that the white lotus flower that protected him had shattered into pieces, transforming into a pillar of light that actually broke through the barrier of the Golden Sun Peak and shot into the distance.

This seemed to have exhausted the last bit of Bai Lian's immortal energy. He gave Yun Zhenxian a hateful smile and turned to ashes in the flames.

This is... destroying a magical artifact to send a message to Leiyin Temple?

The Heavenly Emperor turned back to look at Yun Wuji, whose face was full of bitterness and even despair.

Now, the Heavenly Emperor truly believed it... the other party really had no other choice.

……

A beam of light shot out from the golden roof and fell into the eyes of the Crystal Buddha and the Blissful Goddess.

They are flying towards Haori Mountain.

"Bai Lian sent a message saying that Hao Ri Mountain is a strategic location and cannot be abandoned. If Hao Ri Mountain can be defended, the Nine Mountains Sect will be restless and unable to eat or sleep."

The goddess of bliss kept speaking, yet her figure moved gracefully, her robes fluttering, and her whole body radiating light, shining down on the land below.

Tender buds sprouted on the ground, blooming into a dense array of vibrant flowers. Wherever she flew, flowers bloomed, forming a long, emerald-green river draped in red and purple.

The crystal Buddha beside her was utterly devoid of any human warmth; with a single step, it could traverse thousands of miles.

The two activated their escape techniques and headed towards Haori Mountain.

"The World Honored One was worried about you, so he sent me to help you. If we combine the arrangements of Haori Mountain, we might be able to reclaim the Primordial Purple Qi."

"I was being overly cautious."

The Lapis Lazuli Buddha sighed, saying that when he saw the Creation Daoist die, his mind was momentarily distracted. Only after the Blissful Heavenly Maiden arrived did he continue forward.

Of course, the Nine Mountains Sect's grand formation couldn't stop them.

"I'm afraid it will be too late."

"It's alright. There's still the Golden Sun Burning Heaven Formation on Haori Mountain. If they awaken their primordial Dharma Body, their strength will surpass ours. No matter how strong that sword formation is, it can only hold us off..."

Before the Heavenly Maiden of Bliss finished speaking, a beam of Buddhist light shot out from the Golden Summit of Haori, illuminating half of the sky in a ghastly white light.

The two of them paused involuntarily.

The Crystal Buddha exclaimed in disbelief, "Nephew Bai Lian? This is Nephew Bai Lian's most precious protective treasure!"

The Heavenly Maiden of Bliss's expression also darkened, knowing something was amiss, but she still said, "It seems there have been some unexpected events, but as long as the Golden Sun Burning Heaven Formation remains, it will be enough to give the Nine Mountains Sect a headache for a while. Let's hurry, there's still..."

As she spoke, the formation on Haori Mountain suddenly opened, and the mighty Heavenly River Legion landed on the golden summit of Haori Mountain without any hindrance, as if returning to its own home.

"This……"

The Crystal Buddha closed his eyes, as if sensing the message left by the white lotus.

"The Nine Mountains Sect planted spies on Haori Mountain long ago. Yun Wuji betrayed us to save his own life." The Glazed Buddha opened his eyes, his voice cold. "He killed Bai Lian with an arrow."

The Blissful Celestial Maiden's eyes widened: "Haori Mountain has betrayed us?"

The Buddha of Lapis Lazuli laughed with a hint of resentment: "Now, that Golden Sun Burning Heaven Formation is going to give us a headache."

"..."

The Blissful Celestial Maiden stood in the air, watching the Nine Mountains Realm fly to Haori Mountain. She knew that with the protection of the Golden Sun Burning Heaven Formation and the sword formation, the two of them alone were no match for the Nine Mountains Realm. Naturally, they could forget about the Primordial Purple Qi.

“Now I understand why the World Honored One values ​​Zheng Fa so much.” The Blissful Celestial Maiden remained silent for a long time before saying, “The World Honored One spent an entire era to cultivate me into a Golden Immortal in order to control Yaochi, but now… Haori Mountain has been seized by the Nine Mountains Sect.”

"A win and a loss, yet they're evenly matched?"

The Lapis Lazuli Buddha remained silent, only murmuring, "Zheng Fa..." They all knew that, in terms of time alone, the Mahayana Buddha was still one step behind.

“Although Yaochi has a strong foundation, I cannot control the jellyfish and the others…” The Blissful Celestial Maiden shook her head slightly, seemingly unwilling to say more, and then said, “Although Haori Mountain is weak now, it seems to be completely under the control of the Nine Mountains Sect.”

The Lapis Lazuli Buddha's expression turned even uglier.

In terms of strength and foundation, how can the Nine Mountains Sect compare to the Thunder Sound Temple? But now, with Bai Lian dead, Hao Ri Mountain betraying them, and the Primordial Purple Qi in Zheng Fa's hands, it's hard to say that the Thunder Sound Temple has gained an advantage.

"Are we still going to the Nine Mountains Sect?"

The Heavenly Maiden's words made the Lapis Lazuli Buddha shake his head, his gaze becoming much calmer: "The situation at Yaochi is still unsettled. Heavenly Maiden, please return. I am carrying out the orders of the Mahayana Buddha and have come to invite Zheng Fa to Leiyin Temple."

He paused, then said, "This Zheng Fa is cunning and treacherous. Now that the Nine Mountains Sect has gained power, it is a major threat to my Leiyin Temple. I cannot rest easy until I see him with my own eyes."

Seeing the worried expression on the face of the Blissful Goddess, the Lapis Lazuli Buddha said again, "The Great Luo Dharma Assembly is inevitable, Zheng Fa will not kill me."

The Blissful Celestial Maiden nodded slowly, and then the Vaidurya Buddha's voice was even lower and colder: "Moreover, that Yun Wuji dared to kill a disciple of the Mahayana Buddha. This debt will never be forgiven by my Leiyin Temple."

He looked at Haori Mountain and murmured, "If this man isn't killed, what will become of the prestige of my Leiyin Temple?"

……

"See that monk? That's him, the Crystal Buddha."

"Look, I saw it."

"Shoot him!"

Zheng Fa stood beside Yun Wuji and urged him on.

Yun Wuji held the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow in his hand, looked at Zheng Fa, his face collapsed, and he felt a kind of despair, as if he had entrusted his trust to the wrong person.

But he had no way back.

After Bai Lian self-destructed her magic weapon, Yun Wuji immediately realized the danger—although Leiyin Temple practiced Buddhism, anyone who truly believed that the other party was compassionate was being incredibly naive.

As a traitor, he also killed Bai Lian, who was on whom high hopes were placed, which was even more fatal.

He never expected that the power of Bai Lian's self-destruction of her treasure before her death would be so great, actually breaking through the cover of Hao Ri Golden Peak!
This matter has already been leaked, and I'm afraid I've long since become a thorn in the side of Leiyin Temple.

Now all I can hope for is that the Nine Mountains Sect can protect me.

He immediately activated the great formation of Haori Mountain, allowing the Tianhe Legion to enter the mountain, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

The problem is... whether he can survive depends on whether Zheng Fa is willing to protect him.

But this Alliance Leader Zheng seems rather unreliable.

Seeing Zheng Fa's gaze as he examined the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, Yun Wuji sighed inwardly, held the bow in his hands, raised it above his head, and whispered, "This bow is a treasure left behind by Lu Yao, and should be handed over to the sect."

He felt a lightness in his hand; Zheng Fa had already taken the Hao Ri Divine Bow and was examining it closely.

Yun Wuji felt a sense of loss, but also secretly mocked himself, realizing that he had only joined the Nine Mountains Sect to survive, and now he was in imminent danger.

Do you intend to keep this precious bow?

After making a few self-deprecating remarks, he felt much more at ease. He only hoped that Zheng Fa would protect him a little more out of consideration for his submissiveness.

"How far does this Golden Sun Burning Heaven Formation have? How fast does it go? What is its power?"

Having figured it out, Yun Wuji naturally spoke frankly: "This bow and arrow are extremely fast. When the First Ancestor, oh no, Lu Yao, held this bow, he shot an arrow and never missed. He never missed a shot."

Zheng Fa nodded slightly.

"It is said that this bow shot down the golden crow..."

Zheng Fa was stunned for a moment. If this rumor was true, then Lu Yao was truly a ruthless person...

The Sun-Shooting Divine Bow was Lu Yao's second incarnation's magic weapon, but he turned around and killed his clansmen from the first incarnation.

But if this is true, then the speed of the arrows fired by the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow is quite terrifying—the Golden Crow has a natal rainbow transformation technique!
"In terms of power, Lu Yao relied on this bow back then and was one of the best among the Golden Immortals. Although my cultivation is low, I can use the Golden Sun Burning Heaven Formation to withstand an ordinary Golden Immortal."

"Of course, if you, the Alliance Leader, were to wield this bow, you would certainly be even stronger than Lu Yao was back then!"

Hearing Yun Wuji's flattery, Zheng Fa smiled and asked, "What about the range?"

"The range actually varies from person to person."

"How to say?"

“If we know where the target is, we can shoot as far as it is,” Yun Zhenxian explained. “But outside the range of our divine sense, there is no range to speak of.”

Zheng Fa understood.

After becoming an immortal, his divine sense underwent a tremendous change, but its range remained limited.

Moreover, even if it is a target within one's divine sense, if the other party has a way of hiding, there is nothing one can do about it.

Range is also a part of accuracy.

Zheng Fa held the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow and fell into deep thought.

"Alliance Leader, I am willing to offer up the method of controlling the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, hoping only that you will spare my life..."

“You must indeed offer up the method of control.” Zheng Fa interrupted him, then suddenly loosened his grip and threw the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow back into Yun Wuji’s hands.

Yun Wuji held the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, stunned, not knowing what Zheng Fa meant.

"This Golden Sun Burning Heaven Formation is very important to our sect."

"Very important?"

Zheng Fa nodded solemnly to Yun Wuji. Now that the Nine Mountains Sect has the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, if they can join forces with the Underworld, they will have more than enough to protect themselves.

However, its shortcomings are also obvious.

Unable to leave the Underworld, the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor's speed was severely hampered by the escape techniques of the Sword Formation disciples, leaving him only able to wait for the Creation Daoist to foolishly enter the formation.

Simply put, it means short legs.

However, the territory controlled by the Nine Mountains Sect is growing larger and larger—the area of ​​Haori Mountain plus the Nine Mountains Sect is even larger than Yaochi, not to mention the sea area.

In terms of area alone, the Nine Mountains Sect can now be considered the number one in the Xuanwei Sect.

Therefore, the Nine Mountains Sect can only guarantee the absolute safety of the Nine Mountains Realm, but cannot cover most of its territory.

People like the Crystal Buddha and the Blissful Celestial Maiden cannot be stopped by the Thick Earth Magnetic Array; they can come and go as they please.

"I plan to set up a project team that combines the Thick Earth Magnetic Array and the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow."

"Combination..."

Yun Wuji didn't quite understand.

"The Thick Earth Magnetic Array is responsible for reconnaissance, while the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow is responsible for long-range attacks," Zheng Fa explained. "With the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, even Golden Immortals wouldn't dare to invade our territory at will."

Simply put, it involves using the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow to build an air defense system with the power of a Golden Immortal.

"The project leader is Zhang Taishang, and you are the second person in charge of the project, responsible for operating the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow."

Yun Wuji stared blankly at Zheng Fa, his gaze slowly falling to the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow in his hand, the worry on his face vanishing completely.

"You obey the Alliance Leader's command!"
