Chapter 2285 - 2286: Open Provocation

In the Yinxue Tower, Xue Mingtai convened a meeting.

Except for Yang Fei who was absent, the Sword Emperor, An Zichen, Wen Taikang, as well as Li Mingjun, Mad Blade, Long Xia, and the Three Swords were all present.

Even though the Evil Dragon Squad belonged to the Dragon Group members, they also fell under the Yinxue Tower's lineage.

Now that the Kunlun Sect was coming aggressively, Mad Blade and the others rushed back from the Capital City to face the Kunlun Sect with everyone.

The other allies of the Yinxue Tower all expressed their support.

The Shu Tang Clan, Ten Thousand Sword Sect, Xuantian Sect, Tianshi Sect, as well as the Kongtong Sect and the Four Spirits Alliance sent messages to Xue Mingtai, expressing their support.

However, these so-called supports are like drinking water, only cold or warm as the drinker knows.

The Ten Thousand Swords Sect Leader Liu Chan, accompanied by ten elders, arrived at the Yinxue Tower, and the male and female twin swords Liu Zhaozhi and his wife from the Kongtong Sect also arrived simultaneously.

These two groups, along with the Xuantian Sect already stationed at the Yinxue Tower, were the three factions that took actual action.

The rest either delayed slowly, sightseeing on their way,

or simply shut their mountain gates tight, taking a stance of sitting on the mountain to watch the tigers fight, waiting to see the show.

The situation was very severe, yet Yang Fei remained in closed-door cultivation.

Xue Mingtai had to hold the meeting in the capacity of acting Alliance Hierarch, to discuss how to deal with the aggressive Kunlun Sect.

During the meeting, everyone discussed repeatedly, ultimately feeling helpless.

The power of the Kunlun Sect was indeed too strong, this time their full force was mobilized, with a momentum that they would not return to the mountain unless Yinxue Tower was destroyed.

On the Yinxue Tower's side, without Yang Fei coming out from his retreat, there was simply no one able to withstand the high-level experts like Daoxuanzi from the Kunlun Sect.

Even with Liu Chan and Xuantianzi making a move, they absolutely couldn't withstand the four great true persons of Kunlun.

If Liu Zhaozhi and Chen Siyu wielded the male and female twin swords with full force, they could only contend with one elder, and the outcome was uncertain.

As everyone was discussing, suddenly a loud and clear voice was heard within the inner courtyard of Yinxue Tower.

"Boundless Heavenly Venerable, Daoxuanzi has come to greet Master Yang of Yinxue Tower."

The voice wasn't loud at first, but with each word, the volume abruptly doubled.

The last three words were like thundering roars, with the might of heaven collapsing and earth shattering.

This enormous voice caused the protective array of Yinxue Tower to scatter spiritual energy, and the outline of Yinxue Tower faintly appeared.

Just as one voice fell, another loud voice rose again.

"Boundless Heavenly Venerable, Dao Hezi from Kunlun Mountains greets Master Yang of Yinxue Tower."

"Boundless Heavenly Venerable, Dao Yezi from Kunlun Mountains greets Master Yang of Yinxue Tower."

"Boundless Heavenly Venerable, Dao Kongzi from Kunlun Mountains greets Master Yang of Yinxue Tower."

...

Huge voices, one after another, similar to a series of thunderstorms, exploding at the ears of everyone present.

In an instant, the winds and clouds changed color, and rocks shattered the heavens.

The Mountain Protection Array of Yinxue Tower unleashed a mighty force, a protector's light barrier covering the inner courtyard of Yinxue Tower.

Xue Mingtai, typically calm and gentle, unperturbed by worldly matters, could not help but be angered; his swordlike eyebrows stood up slantwise.

It was as if the Kunlun Sect was coming right to their doorsteps, openly bullying Yinxue Tower, claiming it had no one.

Although Xue Mingtai's temperament wasn't as roguish and humorous as his father Wang Xiaoshi, deep down, he shared the same stubbornness and obstinacy.

In the blink of an eye, Xue Mingtai made up his mind, but his face remained as calm as ever, not showing a trace of his thoughts.

He stood up quietly and glanced around.

Inside Yinxue Tower, everyone's face changed at the majestic presence of Kunlun Mountains' true persons.

Only Mad Blade Fan Yi and others, seasoned by life and death, were not overly flustered.

An Zichen walked up to Xue Mingtai and stood beside him.

Though she remained silent, she brought a warmth to Xue Mingtai's heart.

Xue Mingtai said lightly, "This Yinxue Tower was founded by my father Wang Xiaoshi, no matter how inadequate we are, we can't let it collapse in my hands."

Having said this, Xue Mingtai clasped his hands towards everyone.

"Yang Fei is in closed-door cultivation practicing divine skills, most likely at a critical moment, unable to break away. I ask you all to join me in repelling the enemy."

Liu Chan stood up, silently walked to stand behind Xue Mingtai.

From behind, her Qing Xu Sword emanated a vast, sharp sword intent.

Immediately after, Mad Blade, Fan Yi, Long Xia, the Three Swords, and others also calmly stood behind Xue Mingtai, all remaining silent.

Wen Taikang, the Sword Emperor, Liu Zhaozhi, and Chen Siyu also stood behind Xue Mingtai.

Xuantianzi hesitated for a moment, but finally followed the others slowly.

Xue Mingtai turned his head to look, nodding to everyone.

"Thank you all for your strong support, let us now go meet the true persons of the Kunlun Sect."

In front of the gate tower of Yinxue Tower, the four great true persons led by Daoxuanzi stood solemnly.

Behind the four, more than 20 cultivators, almost all at or above the level ten Qi Cultivation Stage, some of whom had broken through to half-step Foundation Establishment.

These cultivators, placed anywhere in the world, would be revered as great spiritual masters, yet now they were all coming to challenge them.

Behind the Kunlun Sect's cultivators gathered a large crowd of people, most of whom were loose cultivators, coming to watch and join the excitement.

Although some ordinary people didn't understand the chaos within the Cultivation World, seeing these powerful Taoists coming aggressively, they knew Yinxue Tower was in big trouble.

In the crowd, there was a bustle of discussion, mostly idle talk from uninformed onlookers.

"In recent years, many experts have come to challenge our Yinxue Tower in Martial God City, and who didn't end up with broken limbs thrown out? Are these Taoists crazy?"

"Tsk tsk, you mean ten years ago right? Now Yinxue Tower is like a plucked phoenix, not even as good as a chicken."

"Kid, are you an outsider? You dare say another word, do you believe I'll break your legs?"

...

In the hearts of locals from Martial God City, Yinxue Tower is the pride of all people in Martial God City.

Ten years ago, this was the holy land for Martial Artists from around the world.

Countless martial arts pursuers would come step by step to worship at the Yinxue Tower.

Though it has diminished in glory, how could they allow others to point fingers and criticize Yinxue Tower at will?

Many onlooking cultivators were also discussing, possessing much more insight than ordinary people.

"I think this time, Yinxue Tower has kicked an iron plate."

"Kunlun Mountains are not like the Tianshi Sect, even the Sect Leader Daoxuanzi has personally descended from the mountain, how terrifying."

"No matter how powerful Master Yang is, he probably can't withstand the siege of the four true persons from Kunlun Mountains, Kunlun Sect is showing signs of wanting to destroy Yinxue Tower."

"I heard Master Yang has been in closed-door cultivation, could it be that he's cowardly and already fled?"

"Hush, keep it down, seeing through but not speaking out, that's clever."

...

From afar, Xue Mingtai led many cultivators from Yinxue Tower out to meet them.

Daoxuanzi also led the cultivators from Kunlun Mountains to greet them.

Daoxuanzi took a glance at Xue Mingtai, noticing Yang Fei was not among the crowd, and immediately sneered.

"What, did your Master Yang run away after killing someone?"

Xue Mingtai calmly looked at Daoxuanzi, neither humble nor overbearing, clasped his hands together.

"Master Yang is in closed-door cultivation. All affairs of Yinxue Tower are managed by me, Xue Mingtai, on his behalf."

Daoxuanzi couldn't help but laugh sarcastically, full of mockery.

"With just you, are you worthy of debating Taoism and battling with me?"
