Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 596 - 241: Geng and Xin Origin Gold

Li Heshan hurriedly returned the salute: "Master Pei."

"Please sit, Sect Leader."

Pei Zhao gestured for Li Heshan to sit, then pointed to a pile of array plates in front of him and said, "These are array plates I have inscribed recently. When those thieves break in, they will be useful."

"Besides..."

"Master Pei."

Li Heshan interrupted him with a complex expression, his voice sad: "Qiyun Valley might perish at Heshan’s hands!"

Upon hearing this, Pei Zhao’s expression was slightly stunned.

After a long period of contemplation, he comforted, "Heshan, you are the leader of a sect, you must not lose heart first."

"Our Qiyun Valley has a deep foundation and many disciples and elders, and should be able to overcome this crisis."

Li Heshan shook his head bitterly upon hearing this: "Disciples... Elders..."

"Each and every one is selfish and cowardly, now all have a fawning and imploring demeanor."

He immediately told what had happened in the Sect Leader’s Hall.

"Master Pei, do you think Qiyun Valley can be saved with them around?"

Pei Zhao’s face darkened, his fist slowly clenched as he murmured, "Ge Shun, that old fool, how could he be so stupid..."

"Heshan, you must stop him, under no circumstances should he open the grand array!"

"Otherwise, our Qiyun Valley will certainly run with rivers of blood!"

Li Heshan sighed lightly and shook his head: "Master Pei, I am tired..."

"Qiyun Valley is severely ill, rotten from inside out, Heshan... is powerless."

As he spoke, a glint of determination flashed in his eyes, he slowly got up and looked towards the distant rolling green mountains.

"Heshan has lived here since childhood, Qiyun Valley is my home."

"I am prepared for death and the disappearance of my Dao."

He slowly turned to Pei Zhao, respectfully bowed, and said, "Master Pei, I have a request."

Upon hearing this, Pei Zhao stood up, supporting his arm: "Please instruct, Sect Leader."

Li Heshan straightened up, took out a storage bag from his bosom, and solemnly handed it to Pei Zhao.

"Master Pei, inside here is the most core legacy of our Qiyun Valley."

"Elder Ji Yan also has a share."

"If the sect is broken, I beg you and Elder Ji Yan to do everything possible to break out, preserving the legacy of Qiyun Valley."

Pei Zhao furrowed his brows slightly, then shook his head, just about to speak when Li Heshan interrupted him.

"Master Pei, listen to what I have to say."

"News from Yangnao Land, Junior Brother Wen’an has already achieved the Golden Core Dao."

"You are Junior Brother Wen’an’s master, Junior Brother Wen’an has little fondness for Qiyun Valley, but the friendship between master and disciple remains."

"My request for you to take Qiyun Valley’s legacy and leave is partly selfish."

"If you find the opportunity to go to Yangnao Land, with the Shen Family’s status there, I hope you can use Shen’s influence to rebuild Qiyun Valley."

"Thus, Heshan would be able to live up to the ancestors of Qiyun Valley."

Pei Zhao listened but said nothing.

Seeing him still hesitating, Li Heshan suddenly kneeled on one knee, clasped his fists.

"Master!"

Pei Zhao quickly helped him up, a glimpse of unwillingness flashed across his face as he nodded: "Master... agrees to your request!"

Li Heshan smiled, deeply bowed to Pei Zhao, and then resolutely walked down the mountain.

...

Yunzhong County City.

Luo Yao hurried to the Seven Layer Tower.

On the top floor of the tower, an old and a young were engrossed in research of the so-called Inner Five Elements Array, Luo Yao bowed and called gently: "Master."

Holding an array plate, Jiang Xiuqi responded, but his gaze never left the array plate.

"News from Danzhou... Qiyun Valley has been destroyed."

Qiyun Valley?

Jiang Xiuqi’s expression froze, then he slowly put down the array plate in his hand, turned to Luo Yao, and said, "I remember Qiyun Valley’s Mountain Protection Array was the Golden Armor Star Array, which could withstand Golden Core Cultivators."

"How did it fall so quickly?"

Luo Yao sighed slightly: "According to the news from the Sect Leader, it seems the people of Qiyun Valley opened the array themselves, letting those people in."

"As a result, after those people entered Qiyun Valley, they started killing indiscriminately."

"Many Qiyun Valley high-level members did not resist much and were slaughtered on the spot."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiubai, who was intently researching the Spirit Gathering Array, was stunned.

"Why did they take the initiative to open the array and let the enemy in?"

Evidently, with his knowledge, he couldn’t comprehend Qiyun Valley’s peculiar actions.

"Alas!"

Jiang Xiuqi, shocked, sighed and said, "So... all the cultivators of Qiyun Valley are dead?"

"What about Pei Zhao?"

Luo Yao lightly shook his head: "The Sect Leader didn’t say."

"Master, should we tell Wen’an about this?"

No matter what, Shen Wen’an was once a disciple of Qiyun Valley, and Pei Zhao always treated him well.

Luoxia Mountain received this news. If we don’t tell him, Shen Wen’an might blame us later if he finds out.

"No need."

Jiang Xiuqi shook his head: "Qiyun Valley has been destroyed, telling him serves no purpose."

"If he finds out, rashly heads to Danzhou and provokes the True Monarch powerhouse at the boundary, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Though the Shen Family appears to have some relationship with the Old Man with a Conical Hat at the boundary, this relationship is quite delicate.

At this juncture, it is best to avoid stirring trouble.

Luo Yao nodded, then looked at Shen Xiubai: "Little guy, don’t talk about this, okay?"

Shen Xiubai nodded in agreement, then continued studying the incomplete Spirit Gathering Array diagram.

Evidently, he wasn’t actually interested in these matters.

...

Southern Border, Yangquan Mountain.

Shen Chongxu, dressed in a dark red robe, sat cross-legged on the bed, his expression pained.
