Chapter 398 Afternoon
Chapter 398: Challenge Xuandu walked slowly and came in front of the Golden Spirit Mother.
He sighed softly, and although the sound was light, it seemed to contain endless vicissitudes and wisdom.
"My fellow apprentice sisters, I have something to advise you. I hope you can listen carefully. Do not go against the will of heaven and help the Great Shang."
"According to the will of heaven, the rise of Zhou and the destruction of Shang is the general trend. Why not follow the will of heaven like Second Master? This is the right thing to do."
Upon hearing this, Holy Mother Jin Ling frowned slightly, and a barely perceptible cold light flashed in her eyes.
The three sisters beside her - Yunxiao, Qiongxiao and Bixiao - also looked gloomy, and were obviously dissatisfied with Xuandu's words.
The Golden Spirit Mother spoke coldly, with an unquestionable firmness in her voice:
"Brother Xuandu, you are wrong. Destiny? What is destiny? Have you forgotten that what I, the Jie Sect, do is to change fate and seize a ray of hope for survival?"
"The rise of Zhou and the destruction of Shang were nothing more than a plot and arrangement by the superiors for their own interests. I'm sure Senior Brother Xuandu knows the reason, right?"
Upon hearing this, Master Xuandu shook his head slightly, his eyes deep, as if he could see through the essence and mysteries of all things in the world.
"Junior Sister Jin Ling, you should know that destiny cannot be violated. The rise of Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty. This is the destiny between heaven and earth. It is the general trend and cannot be changed by human power."
"Those of us who practice cultivation can see into the secrets of heaven, but we should also obey the will of heaven and not go against it. Otherwise, we will suffer the backlash of heaven."
However, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother was not shaken by Xuan Du's words. She smiled coldly, her voice full of ridicule and disdain:
"Brother Xuandu, your words are too one-sided."
"There are fifty great ways, forty-nine heavenly evolutions, and all things have a glimmer of hope."
"My master, Master Tongtian, saw this and found a new way to save all living things. He founded Jiejiao and became a saint of the Heavenly Dao."
Bi Xiao couldn't help but interjected, "Brother, what you said is too biased."
"Although destiny cannot be violated, people's hearts can change. How innocent are the people of the world? What kind of wars are there when dynasties change? How can we sit back and watch?"
Qiong Xiao couldn't help but ask, "Besides, how do we know there are no atrocities among the Zhou army?"
"They are unscrupulous in their pursuit of their own interests, even killing innocent people. Is this also destiny? Should we also follow this destiny?"
Upon hearing this, Master Xuandu was slightly stunned. Obviously, he did not expect that the Golden Spirit Mother and others would react so excitedly.
He sighed softly, and that sigh contained a bit of helplessness and emotion, as if it was a silent expression of the troubles in this world.
After a while, Xuan Du shook his head, sorted out his thoughts, and said slowly:
"Forget it, I have come to this. I wanted to persuade all the sisters to turn back from their mistakes, but I never thought..."
Having said this, he paused slightly and glanced at the Golden Spirit Mother and the Three Sky.
"What do you think? What do you do? It has nothing to do with me."
"However, since I have come here on the orders of my master, I must follow my master's words and help the disciples of the Chan Sect to help Zhou defeat Shang."
"If you, fellow apprentice sisters, still want to stick to your original intention and support Da Shang, then don't blame me for disregarding the friendship between fellow disciples."
After Xuan Du finished speaking slowly, the entire space seemed to freeze in a suffocating silence.
"Since Senior Brother Xuandu has said so, Junior Sister can only agree."
"If we don't share the same ideals, we can't work together." The voice of the Golden Spirit Mother was cold, and every word was like ice striking Xuandu's heart. "Although I respect you as a man, I can't compromise in the face of major issues."
Seeing this, Yun Xiao at the side couldn't help but echoed:
"Yes, what Senior Sister said is absolutely right. Since Senior Brother has stated his position, we should all follow our own path and accept our fate."
When Master Xuandu heard this, a complicated look flashed in his eyes. He knew the character and determination of the Golden Spirit Holy Mother and Yunxiao and others, and he also knew that he could not easily change their minds.
So, he sighed softly, with a bit of helplessness and relief in his tone:
"Forget it, forget it. Since you junior sisters have made up your minds, I will not force you any more."
"That's all for today. After we meet again, we'll be in an adversarial relationship."
Master Xuandu's words fell like fallen leaves in the cold wind, carrying with them a hint of irreversible determination.
After saying this, he slowly turned around, his robe fluttering, and prepared to leave.
However, Holy Mother Jin Ling, Yun Xiao and others stood there quietly, watching him leave, with mixed feelings in their hearts.
At this moment, Yunxiao's voice sounded behind Xuandu, and the voice echoed in the empty sky and earth:
"Disciples of the Chan Sect, in three days, I will set up a formation outside the Boundary Pass. If you have the guts, come and give it a try!"
Yunxiao's words were like thunder, exploding in the two camps.
Upon hearing this, Guangchengzi, Chijingzi and others frowned, with a hint of surprise and displeasure in their eyes.
They didn't expect that Yunxiao would make such a direct challenge, which was undoubtedly a contempt and provocation to them.
Chi Jingzi snorted coldly, with a hint of anger in his voice that was hard to conceal, like a biting cold wind in winter, blowing straight into the sky:
"Junior Sister Yunxiao, what do you mean by that? Do you think that there is no one in the Chan Sect and that you dare to look down on us like that?"
However, before Yunxiao could speak, Bixiao beside him could no longer hold back his emotions and snorted coldly, his voice as deep as a dusk drum, with a bit of disdain and rebuttal:
"Look down on you? Where did you hear that? My elder sister invited you to challenge the enemy, which means she thinks highly of you."
"If not, do you think that we, the disciples of Jiejiao, would be so bored that we would talk nonsense with you here?"
Bixiao's words were like a sharp dagger, stabbing directly into Chi Jingzi's heart.
There was a flash of provocation and disdain in her eyes, as if she was telling Chi Jingzi that they, the disciples of Jiejiao, were not being unreasonable, but had their own principles and positions.
Chi Jingzi's face darkened when he heard this, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that Bi Xiao would be so tit-for-tat and refusing to give in.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and looked at Bixiao coldly:
"Junior Sister Bixiao, you are wrong. It's not that we don't dare to break into the formation, but we think that Junior Sister Yunxiao's move is too hasty and a bit frivolous."
"How can we make such a rash decision about the battle?"
Upon hearing this, Bi Xiao sneered, as if mocking Chi Jingzi's ignorance and hypocrisy:
"Child's play? Humph!"
"You disciples of the Chan Sect always like to use these high-sounding reasons to cover up your timidity and hesitation."
"What's so careless and frivolous? Those are just excuses! Just tell me whether you will accept the contract or not. Don't beat around the bush and waste time!"
Bixiao's words were sharp and direct, and she made no effort to conceal her dissatisfaction and contempt for the disciples of the Chan sect.
Chi Jingzi's face turned ashen at Bi Xiao's merciless words, as if covered by frost in an instant. He clenched his teeth and fists, and the aura around him trembled slightly because of the suppressed anger.
There were complex emotions flashing in his eyes, including anger, unwillingness, and dissatisfaction with Bixiao's aggressive attitude.
"You..." Chi Jingzi was about to open his mouth to refute, but was interrupted by Guang Chengzi who had remained silent.
Guangchengzi's voice was calm and deep, like a clear spring, flowing in this tense atmosphere of confrontation, with a majesty and composure that could not be ignored.
"Brother, don't argue with her." Guang Chengzi glanced back and forth between Bi Xiao and Chi Jingzi, with a barely perceptible sharpness in his eyes. "It's just a battle formation. I don't believe it yet. How powerful can it be? Just agree to it."
There was a hint of indifference and confidence in Guangchengzi's words, as if he was telling Chijingzi that there was no need to get angry over such a trivial matter, and there was no need to compete with Bixiao for a moment.
His attitude eased the originally tense atmosphere a little. Chi Jingzi also seemed to be affected. His clenched fists slowly loosened and the anger on his face also subsided a little.
"In three days, my disciples of the Chan sect will come to seek advice." Guang Chengzi's voice sounded again, "I, the disciples of the Chan sect, are never afraid of any challenge, let alone your formation. In three days, we will be outside the Jiepai Pass, and we will wait and see."
"Humph, since you disciples of the Chan Sect are so confident, let's see the truth in three days."
Bi Xiao snorted coldly. Although there was still some disdain in his tone, it was obviously not as aggressive as before. "However, I must remind you that the formation we are waiting for is not so easy to break through."
"When the time comes, don't blame me for not showing mercy."
After saying that, Bixiao turned around and was about to leave, but her steps suddenly paused. She seemed to have thought of something, and looked back at Guangchengzi, Chijingzi and the others:
"By the way, you disciples of the Chan Sect had better be prepared. Don't let yourself be embarrassed if you can't even enter the formation."
There was a hint of provocation and sarcasm in Bixiao's words, but Guangchengzi and others did not get angry.
Afterwards, both sides withdrew and waited for three days.
