Chapter 1880: Hualong Hall Interior_3

“Several attempts, all failed with no results.”

“In the past, the reason for the Third Shock infiltrating Donghuang.”

“Apart from following clues that the Xuantian Treasure Seal likely slipped into Donghuang, he was sent to Donghuang to search for it.”

“It was also because he was smart and talented, an exceptional figure appearing only once in a millennium.”

“It was hoped that he might uncover the hidden power in Donghuang.”

“But after his return to Xizhou, I wonder if there have been any reports?”

“…yes.”

The First Shock said softly:

“He left behind eight words.”

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the First Shock.

They then heard him slowly say:

“Chi Mei Wang Liang, ninth day of the ninth lunar month!”

Upon hearing this, the three were stunned.

“Ninth day of the ninth lunar month? Chi Mei Wang Liang?”

The Fifth Shock mumbled:

“These eight words don’t seem connected.”

“Nine nine Pure Yang, what Chi Mei Wang Liang dares to walk on Earth?”

The Second Shock shook his head, then suddenly his expression changed:

“No, it’s not right!

“Chi Mei Wang Liang, ninth day of the ninth lunar month.

“What is referred to as Chi Mei Wang Liang are these sinister people.

“The ninth day of the ninth lunar month… could it be the place they are hidden?

“Doesn’t the phrase Chi Mei Wang Liang, ninth day of the ninth lunar month, indicate that these people are hiding in a Pure Yang place?”

“Is there a Pure Yang place in Donghuang?”

The Fifth Shock couldn’t help but glance up at the curtain.

Then they heard a voice from above the curtain where the shadow of the First Shock gently spoke:

“Ziyang Sect!”

The Second Shock and the Fifth Shock exchanged glances, both with a look of realization.

Donghuang is actually not a small place.

Especially everyone in the Jinglong Association knew that.

Donghuang is not much smaller than Xizhou.

As one of the four corners of the world, it used to be a significant land in Da Xuan.

And this Ziyang Sect is one of the Seven Great Sects of Donghuang.

Moreover.

Three generations of the Su family were all from the Ziyang Sect.

Su Chengyu was, Su Tianyang was, and Su Mo was also.

“I see…”

The Second Shock let out a light sigh:

“No wonder Donghuang produced someone like Su Mo.

“It seems he is the representative pushed out by that power in Donghuang.

“The first expert of Donghuang went into Nanhai and became the Nanhai Supreme.

“Afterward, he entered Xizhou.

“Using the banner of avenging his ancestors.

“In reality, he was also serving that power.

“The Imperial Dao entering Xizhou, waiting for the right opportunity, probably also understands this as a chance.”

“Moreover…”

The First Shock spoke again:

“The Taoist Master of the Imperial Dao coming personally to Xizhou.

“What he is plotting is probably far greater than imagined…

“This time, it is the largest crisis since the founding of Jinglong Association for hundreds of years.

“If it can be resolved, turning peril into safety, it is indeed an opportunity.

“If it can’t be resolved…

“We might fall into an abyss of eternal damnation.”

With these words, the Shock Emperors present each pondered, subconsciously took up tea cups, and drank a sip to moisten their throats.

Then they heard the First Shock say:

“Given the circumstances, do any of you have any insights?”

“In the current situation, it’s essential to regain our strength.”

The Second Shock stood up:

“Since the Sixth Shock downward, our Longmen Shock Emperors have suffered greatly.

“The unexpected death of the Third Shock caught us off guard.

“The vacancies left by them must be filled quickly.

“There is no shortage of talent in our Jinglong Association, this shouldn’t be difficult.

“I have already compiled a list; please have a look, First Shock.”

With that, he pulled a scroll from his sleeve and casually tossed it.

The scroll immediately flew out.

Merging into the curtain, the First Shock caught it with a wave of their hand.

Quickly opened it and glanced at it, nodding:

“Good, the Second Shock has thought this through well.

“The recommended candidates are also most appropriate.

“It’s just a pity there is no one as talented as Old Three.”

“Old Three knew astronomy above and geography below, mastered Five Elements and Eight Diagrams, stellar changes, nothing he wasn’t expert in.

“Where else under heaven can there be a second person like that?”

The Fifth Shock sighed again, then said:

“Regaining our strength is the first step, now the disturbance in Jinglong Hall is underway.

“We need to observe further.

“See what kind of skill this Su Mo has.

“Study this person’s martial arts, find his weaknesses, at critical times, leave no method unused.

“Xizhou is now chaotic because of this man.

“After defeating this man, how should we treat the Xizhou martial world?

“With leniency? Or… annihilate utterly?”

“Hardness cannot last, gentleness cannot be held.

“A balance of hard and soft is necessary.”

The First Shock spoke softly:

“Once the powerful opponent is gone, it’s time to completely take control of Xizhou.

“In the hands of Su Mo, there is likely the Xuantian Treasure Seal and several Mysterious Mechanisms.

“Our Jinglong Association has been dormant for years; winning this battle can lead us to seize Nanhai, take the Imperial Dao.

“That power in Donghuang will then be of no concern.

“Then, you and I can truly become the Jinglong!!”

Just as he said this, footsteps suddenly approached from outside the door.

Everyone had shut the doors for a meeting.

In front of the Hualong Hall, Jinglong Association disciples were guarding.

Hearing footsteps, they thought it was a disciple coming to report.

Immediately turned to see, then heard a loud rumbling sound.

The doors of Hualong Hall suddenly swung open wide.

Following that, they saw someone fly in.

Directly smashed onto the floor of the Hualong Hall.

“Zhou Cheng!?”

The Second Shock couldn’t help but be astonished.

This person was his subordinate and one of the names on the list he had just handed to the First Shock.

Originally meant to replace the position of the Eighth Shock.

Unexpectedly, now someone from outside Hualong Hall had beaten him in?

Zhou Cheng wasn’t weak in martial arts, otherwise, the Second Shock wouldn’t have chosen him to replace the Eighth Shock.

Now being beaten like this left the Second Shock puzzled.

He couldn’t help but turn around to see someone stepping into the hall.

This person was in a white robe stained with blood, had a wine gourd at their waist, holding a sword, the blade bloody.

After entering the hall, he surveyed the surroundings, then shouted angrily:

“Where is the Third Thief?

“Come out and die!?”

The Shock Emperors present were astonished.

This person was none other than Sword Lord Qu Zhongzhi.

Also, one of the Jinglong Association’s Eleven Shocks.

He had been captured and taken back to the depths among the clouds, intended for severe torture.

But for some reason, he suddenly disappeared from the dungeon.

He had been searched for in recent days without result.

Unexpectantly, today he came himself!
