Jade Dynasty: I am the master of the Burning Sword, my swordsmanship is unparalleled.

Chapter 158 The Demonic Cult's Internal Strife Before the Battle Even Begins

"To see you again today, my old friend Dao Xuan, in such a state, it pains me deeply!"

Despite his outward expressions of deep sorrow, the Poison God's face betrayed a hint of smugness, which only fueled Dao Xuan Zhenren's anger.

At that moment, Venerable Puhong also stepped forward, raised his hand, chanted a Buddhist prayer, and said in a deep voice.

"Amitabha Buddha, old benefactor, why go through all this trouble?"

"Hmm? I wonder which of the eminent monks of Tianyin Temple this master is?"

When the Poison God saw Pu Hong step forward, his expression changed slightly. At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder why, among so many people present, Daoist Cangsong was nowhere to be seen.

The Poison God had some understanding of Cangsong's strength; even for the Qingyun Sect, taking him down would not be an easy task.

"Old benefactor, you seem to have a bad memory. A hundred years ago, during the great war between the righteous and the demonic, I had the honor of meeting you once. How could you have forgotten me?"

Upon hearing this, Master Puhong smiled and looked at the Poison God, then chuckled and spoke.

After saying this, Venerable Puhong paused for a moment, then pointed to the Venerable Pukong beside him and introduced him as well.

"This old monk is Puhong from Tianyin Temple, and this is my junior brother, Pukong."

Upon hearing this, the Poison God's expression changed, and the expressions of Wan Renwang, the Three Wonders Fairy, and Yu Yangzi also turned somewhat unpleasant.

Wanrenwang and the others originally thought that only Master Puhong had come to Tianyin Temple, but they were surprised to find that two of the four great monks had been dispatched. This shows how much importance Tianyin Temple attached to the leak of the Great Brahma Prajna.

But Wanrenwang couldn't understand it even more. Since Tianyin Temple attached so much importance to the leak of the Great Brahma Prajna, why did they not hold Zhang Xiaofan accountable at all?

"So it was the Venerable Monk Puhong. My apologies for my disrespect."

The Poison God said with a forced smile, then turned his gaze to Dao Xuan Zhenren and asked in a cold voice.

"Old friend Dao Xuan, where is Daoist Cangsong from your sect? Could it be that he has been imprisoned by you?"

Dao Xuan Zhenren's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face showed a hint of coldness as he spoke in a deep voice.

“Junior Brother Cangsong is in the Yuqing Hall. If you wish to meet him, you may visit the Yuqing Hall in person.”

Dao Xuan Zhenren was heartbroken by Cangsong Daoren's betrayal, but fortunately he had known about it beforehand. Moreover, Cangsong Daoren eventually realized his mistake and admitted his wrongdoing, which made Dao Xuan Zhenren feel much better.

Therefore, when faced with the betrayal of Cangsong Daoren, Dao Xuan Zhenren felt more disappointment and anger at his son's lack of ambition. He was angry that Cangsong Daoren had acted impulsively and had gone astray.

As the senior disciple, Dao Xuan Zhenren undoubtedly channeled this anger into the Poison God.

Poison God's eyes narrowed sharply, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He hadn't expected that Daoist Cangsong would actually be captured.

In fact, judging from the appearance, Dao Xuan Zhenren did not seem to have spent much effort to capture Cangsong Daoren.

At this moment, Yu Yangzi's expression suddenly darkened, and he quickly asked.

"I heard that Fellow Daoist Shangguan Ce from Burning Incense Valley has also come. Why don't I see them?"

Yu Yangzi had practically confessed without being asked. Wan Renwang had almost made it clear that Zhang Xiaofan had recognized the group of people. But what could Yu Yangzi do? Those people were all elites of their Changsheng Hall; whether they were alive or dead, he had to find out the answer.

"This must be Master Yu Yangzi of the Longevity Hall, right? And those people are also disciples of the Longevity Hall?"

Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but turn his gaze to Yu Yangzi and spoke softly.

Yu Yangzi frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slightly, which was considered as admitting it.

"If Sect Master Yuyangzi wishes to see your disciples, the path is here. Just walk forward and enter the Yuqing Hall, and you will see them."

Zhang Xiaofan spoke calmly, even stepping aside to make way for Yu Yangzi, as if inviting him to visit the Yuqing Palace.

Yu Yangzi's face instantly turned ugly. He hadn't expected that they would all be defeated. Moreover, judging from the fact that the righteous people were unharmed, it was obvious that they hadn't even had a chance to make a move before being recognized.

Immediately, Yu Yangzi looked at the Poison God and said angrily.

"Elder Poison God, what guarantee did you make under the throne of the Holy Mother King back then?"

It's no wonder Yu Yangzi was furious; those inside were all elites from their Changsheng Hall.

Among the four major sects of the Holy Sect, the Longevity Hall, despite its long history, has always been in the middle ranks and has never stood out.

The four great treasures of the Holy Sect are the Dragon-Subduing Cauldron of the Ghost King Sect, the Blood-Devouring Pearl of the Blood Refining Hall, the Joyful Union Bell of the Joyful Union Sect, and the Myriad Poisons Returning to Origin Bag of the Myriad Poisons Sect.

Yes, of the four great treasures of the Holy Church, the Hall of Longevity is the only one that is missing.

Not to mention, in this generation, among the four major sects, the Changsheng Hall is also facing a shortage of young talents. At present, the Changsheng Hall has lost many of its elites. How could Yu Yangzi not be angry?
After speaking, Yu Yangzi stared intently at Wanrenwang. Although he didn't say anything, his attitude clearly demanded an explanation from Wanrenwang, since Wanrenwang was the leader of the alliance.

Seeing this, Wanrenwang couldn't help but feel a headache. They had only just arrived at the mountain and hadn't even started fighting yet, but there were already signs of infighting within their ranks.

The key point is that Wanrenwang cannot even blame Yuyangzi for this. In fact, the problem lies with the Wandu Sect.

Poison God was at a loss for words. Who would have thought that, despite having planned everything so meticulously, the mission would still fail so badly?
Standing to the side, the Three Wonders Fairy, who was clearly the one who secretly 'cooperated' with Zhang Xiaofan to achieve this, seemed like an outsider. She always had a slight smile on her face, and her elegant, beautiful eyes were staring at Zhang Xiaofan, who was dressed in plain clothes.

The Three Wonderful Fairies had not forgotten that the Hehuan Bell, a priceless treasure left behind by their lineage's founder, Lady Jinling, was in Zhang Xiaofan's hands.

After noticing the gaze of the Three Wonders Fairy, Zhang Xiaofan looked at her. Upon seeing this, the Three Wonders Fairy couldn't help but chuckle softly and said gently.

"Master Zhang has some impressive skills. He has already created a rift among my fellow members of the Holy Sect before he has even made a move."

The words of the Three Wonders Fairy seem to be praising Zhang Xiaofan, but in reality, they are a single sentence that also includes Wanrenwang, the Poison God, and Yuyangzi.

While speaking, Fairy Sanmiao even gave Zhang Xiaofan a flirtatious wink, looking as if she was trying to seduce him.

However, only Fairy Sanmiao truly knows what she is thinking, and only Zhang Xiaofan can fathom her intentions.

Wan Renwang's eyes narrowed, and he gave a deep snort before speaking.

"Alright, I will have Senior Poison God give you an explanation later."
