Chapter 1,735  Reversal of the Clouds

"Xiao Mian! You... you dare..."

"How dare I?" Facing the northern sky, Xiao Mian said calmly without any joy or sadness: "Why? Just because you all go to the southern expedition, we are not allowed to resist in Nanyuezhou? Since you are here, you must pay a price, otherwise what are you here for?"

While speaking, Xiao Mian's eyes swept across the northern sky.

Life and Death Lord, Mountain and River Lord, Shouyi Zhenren, Zhu Rong, Shang Jun...

Sure enough - they are all abandoned!

That's all!

You want the autumn wind to sweep away the fallen leaves, and I will return with the wind and clouds!

"Life and Death Lord Senior! Mountain and River Lord Senior! This southern expedition is led by you two, right? You two are the only two left among the ten Tianzuns of Zhongzhou back then! Since you are here, Xiao, as a junior, can't just turn a blind eye! How about this! I will ask the two seniors for advice at the same time with my own strength - I hope the two seniors will help me!"

As soon as Xiao Mian said this, the entire Endless Ocean fell into silence.

Xiao Mian, he wants to fight two at once, and challenge the Lord of Life and Death and the Lord of Mountains and Rivers at the same time!

Although the South Vietnam side thinks Xiao Mian is too arrogant, they also know that Xiao Mian has never fought a battle without confidence. Since he said so, there must be a reason for him.

The Dutian Peak side looked at Xiao Mian as if he were a monster.

Two powerful Tianzun, and two powerful Tianzun who came with the heart of fighting to the death, once they join forces, they are enough to trap and kill everyone in this world.

Unless - Xiao Mian is not a human!

Regardless of what others think, the Lord of Life and Death and the Lord of Mountains and Rivers looked at each other.

"Old friend! What do you say?"

"If he wants to fight, then fight! Even if he dies, he must let these younger generations know the character and integrity of the Ten Lords of Zhongzhou!"

When the Lord of Mountains and Rivers said this, his face was frank and indifferent.

Hearing this, the Lord of Life and Death smiled dumbly and looked at Xiao Mian.

"Boy! To be honest, I have been practicing Taoism for nearly a thousand years, and I have never seen such an arrogant boy like you, but you do have the strength and confidence!"

"Then - let's fight!"

After saying that, Xiao Mian took a stance and waited for the Lord of Life and Death and the Lord of Mountains and Rivers to make a move.

The two great Lords made a move at the same time.

The Lord of Mountains and Rivers, with his mountain and river skills, could move mountains and shake the sea, split mountains and cut off rivers.

The Lord of Life and Death abandoned his flying sword and rushed forward quickly, closing the distance between him and Xiao Mian, trying to entangle Xiao Mian with his body refining technique.

It is no secret that Xiao Mian practiced three meridians together.

The Lord of Life and Death did not expect to defeat Xiao Mian by relying on his body refining technique. He just wanted to contain Xiao Mian and create an opportunity for the Lord of Mountains and Rivers.

At the same time, the two great Lords released their respective divine objects at the same time.

The divine object of the Lord of Mountains and Rivers looked like a piece of soil, ordinary and natural; the divine object of the Lord of Life and Death looked like a disc, half yin and half yang, half black and half white.

The soil block of the Mountain and River Venerable, shaped like a magic weapon, smashed towards Xiao Mian. When the divine object moved, there was a hint of wind and thunder. At the same time, the disc of the Life and Death Venerable split into two, shaped like two cicada wings, flanking from left and right, surrounding Xiao Mian, trying to imprison him.

Xiao Mian flashed, waved past, and disappeared on the spot.

Abandoning the Life and Death Venerable, Xiao Mian killed the Mountain and River Venerable.

The faces of the two Heavenly Venerables suddenly changed, and they were surprised by Xiao Mian's actions - he could ignore the lock of the divine objects of the two Heavenly Venerables and come and go freely.

Could it be that this kid could control other people's divine objects?

If so, the death of the three elders of Dutian Peak would not be difficult to explain.

Tai Meng Zhenren, Tai Yang Zhenren and Tai Feng Zhenren tried to severely injure or even kill the Nanyue monks by detonating their own divine objects, but at the last moment, they lost control of the divine objects, so that Xiao Mian took advantage of the opportunity and blew up the divine objects for them.

In the end, the three were killed on the spot by their respective opponents!

After understanding this, the Lord of Life and Death and the Lord of Mountains and Rivers dared not take it lightly anymore.

The Lord of Mountains and Rivers tried to distance himself from Xiao Mian, while the Lord of Life and Death chased after him, trying to intercept Xiao Mian. Xiao Mian did not give up and chased after the Lord of Mountains and Rivers.

Xiao Mian and the two great Heavenly Lords were like three swimming fishes, dancing in the sky.

During the repeated chases, the Lord of Life and Death and the Lord of Mountains and Rivers were also in doubt.

If Xiao Mian could really control their divine objects, why would he go to such great lengths?

If he directly detonated their divine objects, while they were severely injured by the backlash caused by the self-explosion of the divine objects, wouldn't he be able to kill the two great Heavenly Lords one by one?

Could it be that Xiao Mian could not control the divine objects?

Or, was this kid trying to catch the mouse like a cat, for some other purpose?

Just as the two Heavenly Lords thought so, Xiao Mian finally reached the Lord of Mountains and Rivers. At the same time, the Lord of Life and Death behind him finally reached Xiao Mian.

The three of them were like a chain, one ring after another.

To those who don't know, it seems that the Lord of Life and Death and the Lord of Mountains and Rivers are attacking Xiao Mian.

The next moment, Xiao Mian moved his mind and took the two Lords with him into the immortal stone space.

As soon as he entered the immortal stone space, Xiao Mian let go of the two Lords - before that, the reason why he had been flying all over the sky was to contact the two Lords at the same time!

The difficulty is not how to put the two Lords into the immortal stone space, but how to put the two Lords into the immortal stone space at the same time - it must be done at the same time!

Speaking of the Lord of Life and Death and the Lord of Mountains and Rivers, they were suddenly stunned when they saw the changes in the world.

Seeing Xiao Mian at ease, the two looked at each other and had doubts in their hearts: Could this space be the internal space of the rare treasure of the immortal mansion?

In this case, this must be the kid's home court, and it is more dangerous than good!

The two Lords thought so, and Xiao Mian smiled faintly.

"Two seniors, there is no need to do this! The reason why I brought the two seniors here is not malicious, but there are no outsiders here, so it is easier to talk!"

"......, what do you want to say?"

"What do you want to say to the two of us who are dying?"

"Two seniors! You are dying, so you have no taboos, but it's not good for Shanhe Palace and Life and Death Valley to come and take you as burial companions, right?"

"You!"

"Do you want to threaten us?"

"No! Not a threat! I want to show you something first!"

As he spoke, Xiao Mian threw out a mirror and activated it.

On the mirror, Xiao Mian and another person appeared - Jian Ling Zun!

More than a hundred years ago, Xiao Mian designed Dutian Peak, went deep into Dutian Peak alone, and almost turned the nine holy places upside down.

In the Eternal Sword Forest, the residence of Jian Ling Valley, Xiao Mian met Jian Ling Zun, who was at the last moment of his life at that time.

Because of this, Jian Ling Valley suddenly had a great enlightenment and changed its previous style.

Jian Ling Zun took the initiative to propose that he wanted to leave a way out for Jian Ling Valley and Nanyuezhou.

At that time, Nanyue Province was not as prosperous as it is today, and even Xiao Mian was not as powerful as he is today. What Sword Spirit Master bet on was a possibility.

A possibility! A variable! An outcome that he did not want to see!

In this sense, Sword Spirit Master made the right bet!

Unfortunately, Sword Spirit Master died so suddenly that he did not leave any information!

This agreement can only be proved by the photo-taking wall in Xiao Mian's hand...

After the image on the photo-taking wall was projected, Life and Death Master and Mountain and River Master were still a little slow to react. They and Sword Spirit Master were fellow cultivators, both the patriarchs of the holy land and one of the ten heavenly masters of Zhongzhou. They had worked with Sword Spirit Master for nearly a thousand years. In their eyes, Sword Spirit Master was an unparalleled sword cultivator who said what he meant.

Unexpectedly, before his death, Sword Spirit Master actually left such a shocking foreshadowing!

"No! So, it's not you who killed my old friend Sword Spirit?"

"Is it strange? Master Taixu also said that I killed Master Taijing, the head of Sanqing Temple! These days, what you hear is not necessarily true, and what you see is not necessarily true!" Looking at the Lord of Life and Death and the Lord of Mountains and Rivers, Xiao Mian smiled and said, "Just like everyone in the outside world, they always think we are fighting for life and death, who knows that we are giving each other a chance?"

"You... want to make the same covenant with us?"

"Senior, you are wrong again! It's not that I want you to give me this opportunity, but I gave you this opportunity! The situation has changed!"

"..."

Hearing this, the Lord of Life and Death and the Lord of Mountains and Rivers looked at each other with ugly faces.

It was Xiao Mian who was talking to himself...

"The alliance with Senior Sword Spirit Venerable back then is no longer a thing to talk about. It is not recorded in Sword Spirit Valley. That bitch Lin Zongxue even framed me for Senior Sword Spirit Venerable's death and wanted to uproot Nanyue Province. However, it seems that for Senior Sword Spirit Venerable's face, I decided to leave a way out for Sword Spirit Valley - Lu Guiling!"

Lu Guiling, the Sword Emperor Guiling, has successfully taken root in Huaxia.

If it is said that he has branched out for Sword Spirit Valley, it is reasonable.

Hearing this, the faces of Life and Death Venerable and Mountain and River Venerable improved slightly.

Xiao Mian continued at the right time.

"Fellow Daoist Xu Lijin and Ling Xiao should have successfully condensed the divine objects and achieved the status of a Heavenly Venerable with the help of Sanqing Temple, right?"

"This..."

"..."

The faces of Life and Death Venerable and Mountain and River Venerable changed again - this matter is a secret within the Nine Holy Lands, how did Xiao Mian know about it?

Could it be that he can really predict the future?

"It's not that hard to guess! Since the two seniors have taken up the banner of the Southern Expedition, Sanqing Temple must have some compensation. To put it another way, if Shanhe Palace and Shengsi Valley had not already had successors, the two seniors would not be so eager to die, right?"

For a moment, Shengsi Zun and Shanhe Zun fell into silence.

"Two seniors! The world is like chess, with wins and losses. The future of Shengsi Valley and Shanhe Palace is like a gamble - you bet on Sanqing Temple, which is understandable. But why not have an extra choice like Senior Jianling Zun? It's like guessing the size, either big or small, betting on both ends, and you will win!"

"What do you want us to do?"

Shengsi Zun looked at Xiao Mian and Shanhe Zun without saying a word.

"Have you ever thought about how long Dutian Peak can stand?" Xiao Mian changed the subject after shaking the hearts of the two great Heavenly Lords: "As far as I know, the concentration of spiritual energy in Dutian Peak should be different from that a hundred years ago?"

"You! How do you know this!"

At this moment, the faces of the Lord of Life and Death and the Lord of Mountains and Rivers really changed.

In the past hundred years, although Dutian Peak still stands tall, its spiritual energy has greatly decreased.

Originally, the nine holy places and even the Three Pure Ones thought that it was the angry blow of the Emperor of the Spirit Realm that damaged the foundation of Dutian Peak and the foundation of Dutian Peak.

Now it seems that this matter is probably not that simple!

Xiao Mian's certainty made the Lord of Life and Death and the Lord of Mountains and Rivers sweat coldly.

Could it be that the change of Dutian Peak was caused by this kid?

If so, Dutian Peak will definitely lose!

As the old saying goes: Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will win every battle!

Dutian Peak has always been very clear about its own strength, but they have never figured out how strong their enemy, Xiao Mian, is!

Knowing oneself but not the enemy, from the beginning, Dutian Peak's chance of winning was less than 50%!

On the other hand, Xiao Mian not only knows himself and the enemy, but also has a glimpse of the secrets of heaven...

Xiao Mian's plan is not only to win every battle, but also to defeat the enemy without fighting!

Just like now, the Lord of Life and Death and the Lord of Mountains and Rivers are almost unable to hold on.

It is no wonder that the two great celestial masters are so incompetent. In fact, Dutian Peak is of vital importance.

Dutian Peak is not only the number one peak in the world, but also the symbol of the nine holy places.

The reason why the nine holy places can be above the world is that Dutian Peak gathers the spiritual energy of the five states and four seas in the world for its own use, and creates a holy place for cultivation.

If Dutian Peak is no longer Dutian Peak, will the nine holy places still be the nine holy places?

Obviously, Xiao Mian began to cut off the foundation of Dutian Peak more than a hundred years ago or even earlier. It is ridiculous that no one knows about the entire Dutian Peak.

According to the current concentration of spiritual energy in Dutian Peak, Dutian Peak is no longer useful!

If the nine holy places want to continue, they must leave Dutian Peak and find another way out...

Thinking of this, the Lord of Life and Death and the Lord of Mountains and Rivers have some grasp of Xiao Mian's intentions-Xiao Mian wants to divide the nine holy places without bloodshed!

In other words, Xiao Mian's goal is probably only one Sanqing Temple!

If this is true, it may not be good news for Sanqing Temple, but it is definitely not bad news for the other eight holy land sects.

"Two seniors! You must have understood what I want you to do, right? It's very simple! Preserve the Valley of Life and Death and the Mountain and River Palace, and pass them on!"

Xiao Mian's words touched the hearts of the Lord of Life and Death and the Lord of Mountain and River.

As the masters of the two sects, the most basic wish of the two is to preserve the two sects and pass them on. Only on this basis can they be qualified to talk about other things.

Now it seems that Xiao Mian and Sanqing Temple are already fighting to the death.

Will the Valley of Life and Death and the Mountain and River Palace continue to tie themselves to the bumpy carriage of the Sanqing Temple, which they don't know where it will eventually go?

With what Sanqing Temple has done, once things go wrong, it will inevitably abandon the others on the carriage-of course, it will not be the Valley of Life and Death and the Mountain and River Palace at the beginning.

Yan Ji Sect, Thunder Sect and Ice and Fire Demon Palace are the most dangerous.

But this does not mean that everything will be fine for the Valley of Life and Death and the Mountain and River Palace.

It seems that we really need to make some plans for our own sect...

"Don't worry, seniors!" Facing the Lord of Life and Death and the Lord of Mountains and Rivers, Xiao Mian took out two portions of the Longevity Water, one for each of them, and said kindly: "This thing is still quite useful, and it should help the seniors prolong their lives by about ten years. The two seniors returned to Dutian Peak after the failure of the southern expedition, and Sanqing Temple dared not do anything to the two seniors. Besides, someone will jump out and be the first bird to stand out for the seniors!"

"..., Yanji Sect?"

"Or is it Lei Ting Sect?"

"Lei Ting Sect, there is no way back, so Shang Jun will definitely bet his life and property on Sanqing Temple. Yanji Sect, there is still room for turning back!"

As soon as Xiao Mian said this, the Lord of Life and Death and the Lord of Mountains and Rivers looked at each other, and their fear in their hearts became even greater - this kid! Sure enough, he has been calculating the nine holy places for a long time!

It is rumored that Lu Guiling and Yun Lingtian wanted to gain a foothold in Jizhou Territory, but were driven to Huaxia Territory by this kid. Now it seems that Jizhou Territory is clearly a bait.

A bait to induce Yanji Sect to leave the nine holy places and return to Jizhou Territory!

Once Yanji Sect takes the lead in leaving the nine holy places, there will be a precedent for the Valley of Life and Death and the Mountain and River Palace to leave again, and there will be nothing to say about Sanqing Temple.

Of course, the two sects can also decide when to leave or how to leave by looking at the attitude of Sanqing Temple towards Yanji Sect.

The question is: How can Xiao Mian determine the direction of Yanji Sect?

"Two seniors! Don't worry! If Yanji Sect really takes that step, you can just sit back and watch; if Yanji Sect can't take that step, you can also look at the end of Yanji Sect and decide where to go with Mountain and River Palace and Valley of Life and Death!"

Xiao Mian's words were calm and indifferent.

But they sounded like thunder in the ears of the two great celestial masters.

In other words, if Yanji Sect does not leave the nine holy places, the whole sect will be destroyed!

If this was said by anyone else, the Lord of Life and Death and the Lord of Mountains and Rivers would have heard it but would not have taken it to heart.

But the person who said this was Xiao Mian!

Xiao Mian had a criminal record - the Five Poisons Villa was wiped out by him alone!

There was no need to continue the discussion...

The Lord of Life and Death and the Lord of Mountains and Rivers not only got a longevity water that could prolong their lives, but also got an opportunity given by Xiao Mian.

This southern expedition was an unexpected surprise.

But before leaving, Xiao Mian suddenly remembered something and asked the Lord of Life and Death.

"Senior Lord of Life and Death! I have something to ask you!" Facing the Lord of Life and Death, Xiao Mian did not hide anything and went straight to the point: "How can I practice the "Nine Turns of Immortality" and the "One Breath of Longevity" to perfectly integrate them into one?"

"You! Did you get the secret of my Life and Death Valley?"

"The Palace of the Supreme Lord is in my hands!"

Xiao Mian was calm and composed despite answering the question irrelevantly.

The Lord of Life and Death was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Xiao Mian with more cautious eyes.

"Please, senior, please teach me!"

"... I have been practicing the "Nine Transformations of Immortality" and "One Breath of Longevity" for nearly a thousand years, and I can recite them by heart!" The Lord of Life and Death said to Xiao Mian: "Forget it! I will teach you a method: practice the two exercises in series every other sentence, and there may be unexpected effects. Boy! Take care of yourself!"

"Thank you, senior!" Xiao Mian bowed and took out something, handed it to the Lord of Life and Death, and said kindly: "Please accept this, senior!"

"This is..."

Seeing the leaves handed over by Xiao Mian, the Lord of Life and Death was puzzled.

Life and Death Valley can be said to be the first sect in the cultivation world that deals with various spiritual plants. There are thousands of spiritual plants, including flowers, leaves, roots, stems, and fruits.

But although the Lord of Life and Death did not recognize the green leaves that Xiao Mian took out, he could sense the powerful vitality contained in these leaves.

"I wonder if the senior knows: the immortal wood gourd?"

"The immortal wood gourd!? This... is the leaf of the immortal wood gourd?"

"Exactly!"

"You kid... huh!" He exhaled a turbid breath and grabbed the gourd leaves handed over by Xiao Mian. The Lord of Life and Death was no longer able to complain.

I knew that this kid had great luck, but I didn't expect him to have such great luck!

If we can really coexist peacefully with him, it would be a way out!

Just as the Lord of Life and Death thought about this, Xiao Mian moved his mind and teleported the three of them out of the fairy stone space together-the three people talked in the fairy stone space, which took a long time, but because of the different speed of time, after returning to the main time and space, it was only a moment.

In the eyes of everyone, Xiao Mian and the other two had never left at all...
