What was more puzzling was that on this Heaven Mending Divine Mountain, the Star Picking Pavilion was just inches away.
However, Meng Tianzheng still disappeared after such a thing happened.
What was he doing?
This question spread in everyone's hearts. No one could figure it out. With Meng Tianzheng's strength, it was impossible for him not to notice that the Corpse Ancestor had barged into the Heaven Mending holy land.
And why did he let the other party enter the holy land?
No one could guess Meng Tianzheng's thoughts, nor did anyone know what he was experiencing at this moment. Even Daoist Tianfeng, who had followed him the longest, could not guess his thoughts.
Perhaps it wasn't that Meng Tianzheng didn't attack, but he couldn't. Or rather, the enemy he faced at this moment was far more terrifying than this Corpse Ancestor.
All guesses were possible.
The Corpse Ancestor they were facing now was the greatest obstacle in front of these puzzles. Thinking of this, everyone's hearts sank. Perhaps only by defeating the Corpse Ancestor could they solve this mystery.
"Gu Sanqiu, is the First Elder no longer on the divine mountain?" After being confused for a long time, Daoist Tianfeng suddenly questioned.
It was easier said than done to defeat the Corpse Ancestor in front of him. Only Meng Tianzheng could completely subdue him. As the Honorary Elder of the Star Picking Pavilion, Gu Sanqiu was undoubtedly the person who knew best. He had no choice but to ask.
As soon as this question was asked, Ye Wuhen's cold gaze looked over. Everyone was surprised by this question.
"What? The First Elder is no longer on the divine mountain?"
At this moment, not only Ye Wuhen, but the entire Heaven Mending holy land was in an uproar.
Meng Tianzheng was their greatest backbone. The moment they heard this news, it was as if the sky had collapsed. The pressure instantly came to Gu Sanqiu's head. His face was gloomy and his expression was complicated. For a moment, he did not know how to answer this question.
"Speak, what's going on?"
Daoist Tianfeng pressured him again. He had vaguely sensed something.
It was impossible for Meng Tianzheng not to make a move after such a thing happened. This was because there were thousands of disciples in the entire divine mountain. Once such a dangerous figure was allowed in, countless people would die.
Gu Sanqiu frowned as he endured the pressure from everyone. He knew that Daoist Tianfeng's pressure was already on the line and he had no choice but to attack. If he didn't comfort everyone, the situation would become even more critical once the situation went out of control.
"First Elder left the Star Picking Pavilion last night to visit an old friend."
"What!
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted and shocked everyone.
No one expected Meng Tianzheng to visit an old friend at this juncture. The moment they heard this news, everyone's hearts skipped a beat. Right on the heels of that, a strange thought appeared.
"No! This is definitely not right…"
"This is too strange. Is it really just a coincidence?"
Everyone was puzzled and guessed. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that something was wrong. It was mainly because this had happened too coincidentally. It was as if it had been calculated in advance.
As soon as Meng Tianzheng left, a Corpse Ancestor came.
"Could this be a test?"
At this moment, standing under the blood moon, Ye Qingxuan questioned with his soul. He had already arrived at the scene the moment the chaos erupted.
Accompanying him were Ling Tian, Hui Caiyi, Yin Tianxue, Xiao Mo, the Lu siblings.
However, Ming Yue didn't appear, nor did Xiao Jinse. Even the owner of Violet Cloud Training Hall, Ye Qiu, didn't appear.
These three people could be said to completely represent the top combat strength of the younger generation of the Heaven Mending Pavilion.
None of them appeared!
Ye Qingxuan and the others had never seen or even recognized the only new faces. However, they could feel that these people were so powerful that they were even comparable to Xiao Jinse.
They should be the young and handsome people who competed with Xiao Jinse a hundred years ago. However, they had not come out to walk around for the past hundred years, so no one knew them.
Other than that, almost everyone who should have appeared had appeared. Even the three hundred Elders of Star Picking Pavilion appeared.
"Test?"
As soon as Ye Qingxuan asked this question, everyone's hearts trembled.
What test? Was it a test specially arranged by the First Elder? The goal was to see if the Heaven Mending holy land could survive this calamity safely without him.
Speaking of which, this suited his personality.
After all, Meng Tianzheng's trap was famous. Everyone present had been tricked before. However, this explanation did not seem to make sense. Since it was a test, why did the three most representative people of the Heaven Mending holy land not appear?
Could it be that the First Elder had told them in advance that this test had nothing to do with them?
This didn't seem to make sense. Putting aside Ming Yue and Xiao Jinse, it was difficult to explain Ye Qiu alone.
After all, the one who was attacked this time was his disciple, and the one who was attacked head-on was also his Violet Cloud Training Hall.
There was no reason for him not to appear!
A series of questions lingered in everyone's hearts. No matter how they thought about it, they could not figure out what kind of profundity was involved.
They didn't know that Ye Qiu was experiencing the baptism of chaos.
Ming Yue also experienced a life and death nirvana.
As for Xiao Jinse, it was the same! He had already opened the Heavenly Sanctum again and broken the limits of the human body, living in pain.
These were things that no one knew.
"Who cares about the test! Just do it. There are so many of us. Do you think we're afraid of a Strange bastard?" In the crowd, a young burly man said disdainfully.
As soon as these words were spoken, it immediately attracted everyone's disdainful gazes.
"Hmph, boorish fellow! Simple-minded fellow, can't you tell that the other party's intention is not us, but this little girl?" Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but mock him. He was already trying his best to restrain himself, but the other party's rashness really made him want to curse.
"What did you say…"
The young man who was scolded was unhappy when he heard this. Seeing that the two of them were about to fight before they even started fighting, everyone hurriedly dissuaded them.
Lin Qingzhu's heart trembled when she heard this. So far, the news she had heard was undoubtedly disadvantageous to Linglong. She hugged Linglong tightly and protected her in her arms. She tried her best to keep her away from the dispute of the crowd and avoid everyone's attention.
She was a little helpless. She already had a vague premonition. If they continued to discuss like this, would someone suggest handing Linglong over to quell this chaos?
Although this thought was very natural and naive, it did not mean that no one did not want to give it a try. After all, compared to the safety of the entire Heaven Mending holy land, sacrificing a little girl who had nothing to do with them was nothing.
However, the current situation was still optimistic. The pro-war faction led by Ye Qingxuan and the others was relatively firm.
They were also clear-headed and did not know that sacrificing a little girl could exchange for peace. Similarly, their stand was very clear.
The dignity of the Heaven Mending holy land could not be violated!
It was a humiliation in their hearts to sacrifice their disciples in exchange for peace. If they really did that, they would rather die. These geniuses were all very proud and aloof, so they would not compromise with anyone. This was also the reason why they were so firm.
This was a question of human nature, and it was also the firm Dao in the hearts of everyone present.
Their Daos were different, so their thoughts and choices were different.
