Chapter 431: People Enslaved by Lies, Thoughts Stamped September 9, the Qingxin Hall of the Trinity Sect, there stood a group of leaders and elders from the five major sects. According to the agreed deadline, within three days, they had offered all the cultivation resources for atonement. Compared to the mundane swallowing sacs and the Qiankun bags, the magical instruments of each sect were more exquisite and mysterious. They could be rings, silk, or a flawless jade bowl reflecting the moonlight. At this moment, Jiang Mo opened them one by one and checked the scriptures, magic tools, pills, talismans, and rare treasures inside. The whole process was not hurried at all, and was even a little slow. From beginning to end, his expression was very calm. The leaders and elders of the five major sects looked gloomy and were in an extremely heavy mood. The price they paid this time caused great damage to the vitality of their sect. Even if they take root in the mortal world and seek to obtain spiritual creatures that are naturally born and raised by nature, it will take at least a dozen years for them to recover. Time passed slowly. Two hours later, Jiang Mo had looked through all the resources. Among them, the one that excited him the most was the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle. There were only two of them, one from the Abbot Academy of Arts and the other from the Yaochi Yinque. However, the weapon was severely damaged. It was yellowish-brown in color, a prismatic crystal weapon with cracks inside and on the verge of collapse. Jiang Mo had refined the memories of his predecessors and knew that the two Boundary Breaking Shuttles had been used many times during the thousands of years of inheritance, which was why they looked like this. A complete Boundary Breaking Shuttle should be light blue, followed by dark red, and the worst is yellowish brown. As the boundary wall is pierced again and again, the durability of the boundary-breaking shuttle will decrease rapidly. Like the two in front of him, Jiang Mo felt a little mysterious when holding them. The Boundary-Breaking Shuttle that the Supreme Lord used during his last attack on the Nine-Layered Mountain was still dark red, but even so, it showed signs of breaking into pieces.

With this in mind, Jiang Mo's expectations for the two world-breaking shuttles were somewhat dashed. He still didn't know if they could be put together to break through a secret realm. "Okay, the people from Yao Chi will stay." "I won't see the rest off, bye." Jiang Mo waved his hand casually, and the heads and elders of several major sects secretly breathed a sigh of relief, quickened their pace, and left quickly, not wanting to stay in this depressing hall for a moment. Only the people in Kunlun Mountain seemed to have something else to do and stayed where they were for the time being. "Well, what's the matter, old man?" "Reporting to Master Xuan, I have something to tell you on behalf of my disciples." Ke Yue said calmly. "Oh? I'd like to hear the details." Jiang Mo responded calmly. He seemed to have noticed something at this moment. He raised his head slightly and stared at the night outside the hall. An arc appeared on the corner of his mouth inadvertently. He did not directly point out the person who was hiding his tracks. However, his expression was misunderstood by Ke Yue as being very interested, so the old man went straight to the point: "The people of Ji Le Mansion want to seek peace with you. The Taoist partner of my disciple is the saint of the previous generation of Ji Le Mansion. The two of them have cultivated some forbidden magic that can communicate their thoughts across the boundary of the secret realm." "They already know everything that happened in the outside world. They know they are no match for Xuan Zun. They intend to avoid meaningless sacrifices and surrender to you and your sect. They are willing to atone their sins and pay for their sins at any cost, just to ensure the continuation of the Taoist tradition." Hearing this, Jiang Mo frowned slightly and asked, "Why did your people from Kunlun go with the Saint Girl of Ji Le Mansion?" "After his master passed away, that junior went to the mortal world to gain experience. He has not returned to Kunlun for many years. By chance, he met the Saintess of Paradise Palace, which led to all these things." Ke Yue explained, but fearing that it would bring disaster to the sect, he hastily stated his position: "Please understand, Master Xuan, Kunlun does not want to interfere in the feud between you and the four sects. That person's actions can only represent him personally." "It's just that he didn't dare to come in person to talk to you in detail, and he left first. Alas, I am just conveying your message and have no intention of interfering." "The fighting has reached the point of destroying the clan, old sir, do you think there is still room for easing the situation?" Jiang Mo was really amused by that person's humor and said: "He and his Taoist partner, the previous Saintess of the Paradise Palace, why didn't these two people stand up when their Palace Master led his men to attack us a few months ago?" "They turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear. If the war was won, they would sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor, resting on their laurels and waiting to die, like borers;"

"After losing the fight, I became enlightened and decided to seek peace as a weak and innocent person. Don't you think this is ridiculous, old man?" As the head of a sect, Ke Yue could naturally understand Jiang Mo's feelings. He clasped his fists silently and agreed: "I personally think this is a despicable and shameful act." "Back then, the Paradise Palace looted all kinds of treasures from the Trinity Sect. The so-called Saint Girl was cultivated with the resources of the Paradise Palace. Isn't this drinking the blood of our ancestors?" Jiang Mo's expression gradually turned cold, and murderous intent filled the entire hall. Several elders of the Kunlun Ancient Sect suddenly felt the pressure like a mountain falling on their shoulders, and they were terrified both physically and mentally. "There is no way I can agree to his request." "You are not allowed to reveal any information to him. If you do, you will be punished like the other four." "Also, I don't care where he is now. If he dares to contact you again afterwards, immediately detain him and send him to me." "Yes, we understand." The elders did not dare to disobey Jiang Mo's order, and without even a moment's hesitation, they decided to sacrifice the disciple in order to protect the sect. After they left, only Yao Chi Yin Que's headmaster Ying Shoulu and three other elders were left in the hall. Before Jiang Mo could inquire, someone took the initiative to report: "Xuan Zun, the several old gentlemen in the sect only have incomplete blueprints for the longevity instrument you want, and the defective product they made cannot be used." Jiang Mo's heart sank slightly. This kind of forbidden magic weapon was something that could be sought but not obtained. He was not surprised at all and continued to ask: "Are there any clues about the complete blueprint?" "It is reported that there may be clues in the Soul Refining Mountain and the Heaven-Severing Sect. When the Spirit Forging Sect was destroyed, they had a share. If you destroy the two sects and obtain other blueprints, the old men promise that they will definitely make them for you." Jiang Mo wondered how much truth these people were telling. The Soul Refining Mountain and the Jie Tian Sect were the sects he must attack. Ying Shoulu also knew this information, but the number of the Boundary Breaking Shuttles would not be enough in the short term, and it was unrealistic to want to conquer all eight secret realms at once. The problem now is that a few old ghosts in Yao Chi may have guessed this, so they came up with this reason and wanted to move forward the priority of Jie Tian Men and Lianhun Mountain, which have grievances with them. Realizing that Jiang Mo was suspicious, Ying Shoulu spoke quickly: "Xuan Zun, what we said is absolutely true, and we have no intention of calculating. Several old gentlemen have important information that we are willing to share with you, on the premise that you cannot blame them." "Speak." Jiang Mo's eyes were deep. "As early as 1,100 years ago, the head of my Yao Chi and their grandmaster were also found by the people of the Taxu Palace, and asked to refine a killing weapon for them. They needed a person with strong cultivation as a living sacrifice, and bleed to cast the magic weapon, and then burn the flesh and blood to completely fuse them into one." "In the end, the soul of the manabu erased all memories of his life and turned into a weapon spirit." The more Ying Shoulu spoke, the lower his voice became. He even avoided Jiang Mo's gaze and did not dare to look him in the eye. He knew what this revealed truth meant, but truth will come to light sooner or later. With Xuan Zun's magical powers, he would be able to break through the Taxu Secret Realm sooner or later. It would be too late for them to explain. "That person is our ancestor?" Hearing Jiang Mo's question, Ying Shoulu gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, he is a young man in his sixties, triple-level mysterious life, 4th level." After saying this, his legs and feet became weak, and he could not help but kneel down and plead in a trembling voice: "Xuan Zun, we would never dare to capture the seniors of your sect alive and do such a thing that goes against the will of heaven. It was really because the Taxu Palace brought people here and offered many precious treasures. And because the leaders of the two sects had a very good personal relationship at that time, this transaction was made. It has nothing to do with us, the descendants!!!" "At that time, there were other elders who tried to persuade him, but they failed to convince the then headmaster. Even the robot that was brought here said that it was his own will!!" "Xuan Zun, please don't blame us!!!" The other elders also knelt down one after another, terrified to the extreme. Capturing living people to forge magical instruments would lead to a blood feud that would never end, no matter which sect it happened to. Even if Yao Chi was not the mastermind, they were afraid of being implicated. Jiang Mo did not vent his anger on the four people. The fight between cultivators was so cruel.

He was not born in that era and could not stop it. He could only accept such an outcome and turned regret into determination. Taxu Palace became his primary target. Thanks to the information provided by several people, Jiang Mo was able to confirm that some disciples had been imprisoned in the Taxu Palace for generations, and even the traitors trained by the Supreme Lord back then might be hiding there. "Voluntary. Tell me, how does it mean to volunteer?" he asked. "In later contacts, the seniors in charge of refining weapons discovered that the man was suspected to have been brainwashed and knew nothing about the past blood feud. He was even a disciple of the master of the Taxu Palace and was secretly supported to become a force to protect the sect." Ying Shoulu trembled like a sieve, and said tremblingly: "The method of refining the weapon is very cruel. Even the seniors back then were moved by sympathy and could not bring themselves to do it. It was that person who was willing to endure it and repeatedly requested it. With the pressure from the Master of the Taxu Palace and our sect leader, it was finally refined!" "Xuan Zun, it really can't be blamed on us, please understand!" "Six hundred years is enough time to change a lot of things. It's normal for them to fabricate the truth to maximize their own interests." Jiang Mo couldn't help but feel a little dazed. Six hundred years of time, generation after generation, had left this imprint of thought. It was simply a fantasy to want to erase it. It is still unknown what lies the Takong Palace has fabricated, and that immortal old ghost is still alive as the leader. I'm afraid that this group of mine has long been regarded as traitors. If he breaks in, the worst case scenario is that the descendants of the sect he rescued might become cannon fodder defending the culprit and engage in a bloody battle with him. What should I do?
