If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 400 Are We Lagging Behind?!
Xiao Yun pursed his lips and said nothing, as if he was shocked by Emperor Yu's words.

A stream of purple-gold energy descended, lifting Xiao Yun up. While healing all of Xiao Yun's injuries, it also greatly improved Xiao Yun's cultivation. The bottleneck of the early stage of the Spirit Transformation was broken, and he broke through to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation on the spot.

"I am short of time. The Tianxu Tower has been coveting my Dayu Daoist lineage for a long time. Even in this court, there are people who are manipulated by the Tianxu Tower. Shanhe, what do you think I should do?"

Emperor Yu turned his spearhead and pointed it directly at Leng Shanhe.

As soon as these words came out, Yan Xian's body shook again.

This wasn't an inquiry or complaint; it was clearly a warning! Leng Shanhe's backer was indeed Tianxu Tower!
Leng Shanhe bowed and said with a smile, "I am also very distressed. The roots of Tianxu Tower are too deep. I even suspect that the reason why Dayu was able to rise to prominence was because of the Tianxu Tower's secret manipulation."

"Humph--"

Emperor Yu's gentle tone suddenly turned cold and stern, "Although I don't have much time left, as long as I live, this Great Yu's surname will be Ji!"

Leng Shanhe's smile also cooled, and he said calmly, "Your Majesty, please think more about the common people and don't act rashly."

The ministers in the court looked at everything in front of them indifferently, and were vaguely divided into two factions.

Xiao Yun's expression was calm, as if it was not the first day he saw such a scene, but Yan Xian's was the first day he saw such a scene, and his jaw almost dropped.

Although Dayu seems strong, in fact, he has been infiltrated by Tianxu Tower and has become like a sieve. The court is divided into two factions. Even a powerful emperor like Emperor Yu can only rely on his own strength to barely maintain his rule.

Judging from Leng Shanhe's expression, Yan Xian was sure that as soon as Emperor Yu stepped down, the prime minister would make a move to seize power.

Yan Xian pinched his chin and quickly sorted out the information and analyzed the situation.

In the game between Tianxu Tower and Dayu, Dayu was already at a complete disadvantage. The one playing against Tianxu Tower was no longer Dayu himself, but Emperor Yu.

Emperor Yu himself did not have much time left. Once he fell, the Great Yu Daoist tradition would fall into the hands of Tianxu Tower. That was why Leng Shanhe was so arrogant and dared to openly challenge Emperor Yu in the court.

But Emperor Yu also revealed one of his trump cards, which was his incredible strength.

Emperor Yu could choose to start a massacre, but Tianxu Tower did not want a broken world.

So even though Dayu was at a complete disadvantage, Tianxu Tower did not rush to take action, but continued to play chess with this ancient and modern Emperor Yu, waiting for the Emperor Yu's luck to run out.

At this moment, the Minister of Rites suddenly took a step forward, bowed his head, and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the Sword-Asking Ceremony was organized by Tianxu Tower. Their target... is probably Jianmen!"

"They are most likely planning to use this Sword Ceremony to call on all the sword cultivators in the universe to re-establish the Sword Sect!"

Leng Shanhe narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile, "Sir, the Minister of Rites, I think you are worrying too much."

"The sword pillar has been broken. Even if Tianxulou wants to establish the Sword Gate, what will happen?"

"Furthermore... this Zhongzhou expedition has already shaken the unity of the millions of Daoist sects. Why don't we borrow arrows from the straw boats and use the power of Tianxu Tower to further tear apart the Daoist alliance of millions of sects?"

"Leng Shanhe! Do you know what you're talking about?!" the Minister of Rites shouted, "Do you really think others don't know about the little tricks you have in mind?"

Leng Shanhe shrugged and continued to bow, "Your Majesty, please understand the situation and don't miss this rare opportunity."

Is this...forcing the emperor to abdicate?!
Yan Xian covered his mouth nervously.

So, the mighty Emperor Yu, who reigned supreme above all heaven and earth, was actually being forced to abdicate in the imperial court?!

The most important thing is that Emperor Yu actually didn't say anything?!

"Xiao Yun, I'll leave the matter of the Sword Gate to you. Four pillars and four gates, that's the rule!"

In the end, Emperor Yu still spoke. Although his tone was negative, he did not speak towards Leng Shanhe, which explained a lot of problems.

It wasn't until Xiao Yun left the Golden Throne Hall that Yan Xian dared to contact the Immortal Hall. He excitedly shared what had happened in the Golden Throne Hall with them. For a moment, everyone in the Immortal Hall, even the shadows, were in shock.

They vaguely guessed that Emperor Yu was at a disadvantage in the game with Tianxu Tower, but they never thought that Emperor Yu's situation was so bad that Leng Shanhe dared to provoke Emperor Yu in court, and Emperor Yu did not respond directly.

"I didn't expect... Dayu actually suspected that Jianmen was the work of Tianxu Tower," the black shadow pinched his chin, looking a little embarrassed.

It was naturally them who operated in secret and induced the Kendo Sect to establish the Jianmen with the Jianzhu as its center. They were also complacent that Dayu did not find out that it was them who did it.

Well, it turns out that Dayu had been on guard against the even more terrifying Tianxu Tower, so when he discovered the Jianmen incident, he first thought it was the work of Tianxu Tower.

In this way, Dayu's impatient behavior at that time became reasonable.

Dayu was really afraid, and he really suspected that Tianxu Tower was going to use the sword gate to give Dayu the final blow, so he attacked desperately and destroyed the sword pillar.

The other people in the Immortal Palace were no longer as excited as before, saying that there was nothing for us immortals to be afraid of, and that Tianxu Tower was only fit to serve us tea and water.

They said they were not afraid of Emperor Yu, but in fact they were extremely afraid of him.

But they were terrified that Emperor Yu was going to Tianxu Tower. His powerful strength was not an advantage, but a guarantee.

"I'm saying... that's what, could it be that Tianxu Tower's previous plan to bring down all the super sects was to pave the way for our Immortal Palace, or to make things easier for us?" One person shrank his neck and said cautiously, "Our plan just benefited from it, or... because of our actions, Tianxu Tower's original plan failed... or something like that?"

The black shadow's heart skipped a beat; this was what he was most worried about.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Tianxu Tower wanted to take advantage of the dispute between Xiao Yun and Li Lin to get rid of Xiao Yun.

But Xiao Yun did not die, so to put it bluntly, this time Tianxulou spent a lot of money to destroy the super sect and suffered a huge loss.

"No matter how you look at it, this has nothing to do with us," someone muttered quietly, "Li Lin is at the Nascent Soul stage, and Xiao Yun not only has the bones of a saint, but is also at the Spiritualization stage. He even strengthened himself once more, and is only one step away from achieving great perfection."

"Li Lin didn't get killed instantly by Xiao Yun, and even snatched a bone from Xiao Yun. This is already an outstanding performance."

The man paused and muttered softly, "With the same configuration, I don't think I have the ability."

"Rather, from the very beginning, I didn't think Li Lin could kill Xiao Yun."

Tian Mo rolled his eyes and asked, "What if Tian Xu Lou thinks Xiao Yun didn't die because we were lazy when training Li Lin?"

The man's heart skipped a beat and he started shouting anxiously.

"Then, then, then—didn't Tianxu Tower want to kill Xiao Yun themselves? Why didn't anyone from their team take action?"

"Weren't we the ones doing the hard work the whole time? What did Xu Lou do that day?!"

"You can't count things like that!"

The corner of the black shadow's eye twitched violently.

Yes, if Tianxu Tower really wanted to kill Xiao Yun, why didn’t anyone from Tianxu Tower take action?

unless--

A terrifying guess gradually came to my mind.

"Then where did Dayu find Xiao Yun?"
