Chapter 154 The Unknown Pas

t

As soon as Xiao Chen had stood on the ground, Yu Yifeng approached him and asked, "Lil Chen, is that you?" Xiao Chen nodded and took off the mask on his face. He looked at Murong Xian'er who was still fainted in his arms and said, "Brother Yifeng, today we must not allow that man to succeed in resurrecting."

Although he wanted to know the truth about what happened a thousand years ago, he knew that if this old monster really came back to life, all the people of Orthodox Path that gathered in the Skygale Sect today would not survive.

Tianyun Zi looked at Xiao Chen, he didn't expect that this "Han Yu" was a fake one. Yunya Zi and Master Xuanji just had a quick fight with each other, both of them didn't expect the other person's cultivation to be as good as himself.

Since the Blood Soul Formation had lost its spirit energy resource, it was continuously becoming dimming. The Elder of the East Chamber said hurriedly, "It's time to open the sarcophagus. Honored Immortal, please come back now!"

Yunya Zi glanced at the sarcophagus in the middle of the formation, he couldn't care about Xiao Chen more. As soon as he told the disciples of the Skygale Sect to stop all the interrupters, he went back to the formation point.

Five white radiance from the five people, who were standing on formation points, intersected in the middle where sarcophagus lied. Suddenly the wind and clouds changed their colors, the red ray became dazzling, and the whole sarcophagus trembled.

Everyone's face changed greatly. They all knew that if the Patriarch Guanshan were to be revived, the Violet Manor would no longer be peaceful in the future, and all the people who came to the Skygale Sect today would also die here.

"Stop them, quickly!" Yuheng Zi, one of the seven in the Jade Qing Sect, shouted loudly. He took the lead in turning into a sword radiance and fly to the Blood Soul Formation. To his surprise, Yunya Zi suddenly bit the tip of his tongue, and the blood spurting from his mouth which formed a blood curtain in mid-air stopped Yuheng Zi.

Yunya Zi sacrificed his cultivation and made the blood curtain with his half-life skill. It was too difficult to be broken through, and everyone could only watch the Blood Soul Formation start helplessly.

"Time has come, may the spirit of the deceased come back to us!" Yunya Zi shouted loudly. The five people uttered imprecations under their breath. The sarcophagus shook more fierce and burst into a loud noise all of a sudden. The sarcophagus lid rose to the sky, and a sudden burst of evil Qi filled the air.

The Orthodox Path people turned into pale complexion while the disciples of the Skygale Sect was cheering up. Only Tianyun Zi showed a changeable look on the face.

Under the joint efforts of several Core Forming Realm masters, the blood barrier was finally broken. Yuheng Zi immediately turned into a white radiance and hit the sarcophagus. The power was so strong that the sarcophagus was torn apart. But something unexpected happened. The sarcophagus was empty and nothing was there.

"What's going on? Where is the real body of the Founding Master?" Suddenly, all the disciples of the Skygale Sect were in a panic, like headless flies, scurrying around.

The four Elders and other people changed their faces either. Yunya Zi looked at Tianyun Zi coldly and asked, "What happened?"

Tianyun Zi seemed to have already known that there was no real body of the Founding Master in the sarcophagus. His face fluctuated. Just then, someone burst into a few loud laughter in the middle of Orthodox Path crowd. Everyone followed the voice only to see a middle-aged man came out slowly.

"Master, You've been hiding it for nearly twenty years. You still want to hide it now?"

Everyone was surprised to hear him call Tianyun Zi 'master'. Who the hell was he? Tianyun Zi shivered slightly and said, "You are..."

"Aha!" The man leaned back and laughed. "Master, can't you really recognize me?" He sneered and tore off the mask on his face.

"Father!" Ouyang Yu could hardly believe his eyes and cried out. He never expected that his father would be here, and called his Master "Master".

That man was Ouyang Yu's father, Ouyang Tian. He laughed and shook his head, saying, "Yu, there are many things that I have never told you."

Many years ago, the head disciple of Tianyun Zi disappeared. Ouyang Tian was the head disciple who disappeared that year.

Once there was a madman broke into the Skygale Sect at night, no one could stop him. The man took away the spirit gathering coffin that sealed the true body of the Founding Master. The Sect Leader tracked the man with sixteen elite disciples and eventually let the man escaped to the Human World. The leader told them that the true body of the Founding Master had been transferred to another sarcophagus. However, it seemed to be not true. Where was the true body exactly? It might have something to do with this Ouyang Tian.

Tianyun Zi had already changed his face. Ouyang Tian sneered. "Didn't expect that I was still alive? If Master had fought harder at that time, perhaps today I would not have the chance to see you again. Unfortunately, things are always unexpected. I did not die, but became a general of the Dynasty of the Nine Provinces in Human World."

Ouyang Yu's body trembled and he looked at Tianyun Zi. "Master, what's going on? Father said..." Ouyang Tian said coldly, "Yu, you still call him 'master'? It was he who was trying to kill me—your father!"

Ouyang Yu shivered as if he had been shocked by electric. No wonder, when Master came to take him as an apprentice, his father refused to go back to have a meet on the grounds of having something to do in the imperial court.

Tianyun Zi shook his head and sighed. "Well, everything is the evil consequence of a slight error in my thought."

Yunya Zi had vaguely guessed some clues. He looked at Ouyang Tian and said coldly, "What happened? Say it!"

Ouyang Tian sneered, and then his face dimmed as if recalling an extremely painful event. He said slowly, "The madman took away the spirit gathering sarcophagus at that night. My master should have found another sarcophagus to preserve the real body of the Founding Master. But he didn't. He asked me to throw the body into the cold pool behind the mountain!"

Before he finished, all the disciples of the Skygale Sect were shocked and took a deep breath. The Sect Leader was deceiving his teacher and destroying the ancestor! At the same time, they also felt great sadness. It had been nearly a thousand years since the plan of reviving the Founding Master start, but it was finally destroyed by internal troubles.

It turned out that Tianyun Zi's heart for Dao had not vanished. He never wanted to revive the Patriarch Guanshan. However, Yunya Zi and the four Elders were still in the Skygale Sect. Although he was the Sect Leader, he was just a puppet. Yunya Zi was extremely angry. "Tianyun, how dare you!"

Ouyang Tian continued, "This was a mystery between us. We followed the madman to the Deep Hatred Sky and the man jumped into it with the spirit gathering sarcophagus. However, my master attacked me and pushed me into the Deep Hatred Sky either. I never expected that my honored Master would have murdered me to prevent divulgence of his secret..." He laughed here, but the laughter was extremely miserable.

The Deep Hatred Sky was a Barrier between the Violet Manor and the Human World. Once a person with low strength entered, his or her soul would be scattered and be dead immediately. Everyone was silent when they heard this, only Ouyang Yu shook his head and said slowly, "No, this is not true..."

"Amitabha..." Master Xuanji read Buddha's slogan and folded his hands together. He said, "Preparing for a thousand years, but in the end, how can we expect that it was just an illusion like the reflection of a flower in the mirror or of the moon in the water. Moreover, lots of people had sacrificed their lives in vain, it shouldn't be like this."

Xiao Chen suddenly recalled what Qingfeng once told him, that many years ago, a mysterious man went to him with a sarcophagus and Xiao Chen was the young baby in that sarcophagus. "Was that sarcophagus the spirit gathering sarcophagus? Was it the man who came to the Skygale Sect and took away the spirit gathering sarcophagus?

"Of course, it must be. The spirit gathering sarcophagus can prevent the dead's spirit from being vanished. That man took away the spirit gathering sarcophagus intended to prevent my spirit when passing through the Deep Hatred Sky!

"But what is this all about? Whoever wants to revive me? "Or it was just someone who wanted to borrow a body to reborn?" He had a vague feeling that the mysterious fog was getting heavier.

Just then, there was a loud sound like thunder in the distance, and a huge rock at the entrance of a cave was shaken into pieces. Right after the sound, countless cultivators with broken clothes and messy hair came out from the cave in the leading of Yu Yifeng. While Ouyang Tian appeared and attracted everyone's attention, Yu Yifeng sneaked into the cave and relieved cultivators that had been caught before.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on these cultivators, and then they found out there were indeed some disciples of their own sect who disappeared a few months ago. These cultivators were all used as spirit mediums. Suddenly, the crowd became angry and criticized the Skygale Sect for their evils.

These cultivators went to their own Elders and couldn't help breaking down into tears. They were telling how the Skygale Sect treated them recently and how their Senior Brothers being refined alive.

These cultivators were filled with great sorrow and fury, especially for those who had lost their own disciples and were desperate to slaughter the entire Skygale Sect. And all the disciples of Skygale Sect bowed their heads. Their biggest pillar, Patriarch Guanshan, could not be revived. At this moment, the only thing they could do was to accept sanctions.

The faces of Yunya Zi, Tianyun Zi, and Four Elders become pale. They knew that what they had done in recent years was intolerable. At this moment, facing hundreds of masters, there left no room for resistance. And the mountain was probably blocked by people from all the other sects.

Master Xuanji shook his head and sighed. He looked at Yuheng Zi and asked, "What will you going to do about it?" As a disciple in the Buddhist Sects, he was kind and gracious all the time. Even if the Skygale Sect did such a thing, he could not kill their disciples all.

However, the Elders from other sects standing behind him did not think so. Since some of them had lost their beloved disciples, the only thing that could release their hatred was to slaughter them all.

Yuheng Zi said, "This was led by Yunya Zi and some other people. The rests, who were bewitched, could not be sanctioned."

When these ordinary disciples were relieved to see a turning point, Xiaoyue stepped forward and said, "I don't think so. What they have done was the same as the Devil's Practice, it's reasonable to kill them all and thus prevent our people from persecution!"

She was without even a little sympathy when she was talking. Xiao Chen was a little bit worried. Since there were thousands of disciples in the Skygale Sect, someone must be unwitting victims. Even for Xiao Chen would show some sympathy to them, how fierce hatred did Xiaoyue had towards the Skygale Sect that she wanted to kill them all?

Hearing this, some other cultivators of the Orthodox Path echoed her in succession, "I agree with Master Xiaoyue. These people have done all kinds of evil. So, all of them must be killed and we should spare none!"

The call was more powerful and someone had been ready to start the fight. Things were getting out of control. At this moment, the abyss of the back mountain came a voice that seemed to had come from the ancient times, "Who wants to extinguish my Skygale Sect..."

That voice was like the thunder of the sky, and everyone's eardrums were almost cracked. Everyone felt a tremor in the heart. Xiao Chen was surprised and thought, "Is it the Patriarch Guanshan?"

A horrible Strong Qi came up from the bottom of the abyss, and everyone felt suffocated including Master Xuanji and Yuheng Zi who were masters among these people. This was the Qi of a true master, which alone had already made a lot of weak cultivators tremble on the ground.
