Chapter 1628 The One Who Came into Annihilation
After saying that, Elder Yunhe led Song Yu and the other two into the Qingyun Sect.
Within the Qingyun Sect, pavilions and towers were arranged in a well-organized manner, and disciples came and went, all exuding a calm and composed aura, clearly possessing remarkable cultivation.
Song Yu and the other two followed Elder Yunhe, passing through layers of halls and arriving at a grand hall called "Qingyun Pavilion".
Inside the main hall, a banquet table had already been set out, filled with all sorts of delicacies, all cooked with spiritual ingredients from the upper realm, exuding an enticing aroma.
Elder Yunhe invited Song Yu and the other two to sit down and personally poured wine for them: "This is Qingyun Brew, a specialty of my Qingyun Sect. It is made from thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus, and is brewed with a hundred kinds of spiritual fruits. It not only tastes delicious, but also nourishes the soul. Please enjoy it."
Song Yu picked up the wine glass, took a small sip, and felt a clear, refreshing liquid slide down his throat, turning into a warm current that flowed into his limbs and bones, making the Daoist energy around him flow more smoothly.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "Excellent wine!"
After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Elder Yunhe put down his wine cup and said with a solemn expression, "Your Majesty, there is something I must remind you of."
Song Yu put down his wine cup and said, "Elder, please speak."
"The Evil Destroyer Heavenly Venerable is secretly searching for the whereabouts of Senior Evil Emperor," Elder Yunhe said in a deep voice. "They seem to know that Senior Evil Emperor has not perished, but was only seriously injured and lying dormant. Therefore, in recent years, they have been conducting a large-scale search in the Upper Realm. Anyone or anything related to Senior Evil Emperor has not escaped their clutches. The Human Emperor has a close relationship with Senior Evil Emperor. This time, when he comes to the Upper Realm, he must be careful and not expose his identity."
A cold glint flashed in Song Yu's eyes: "They sought out the Evil Emperor simply to eliminate him completely. Unfortunately, they will never know that the Evil Emperor has already returned to the Upper Realm, secretly accumulating power and waiting for the day of his revenge."
A hint of surprise flashed in Elder Yunhe's eyes: "Senior Evil Emperor... is he really still alive?"
Song Yu nodded, but didn't say anything more.
Upon hearing this, Elder Yunhe immediately asked, "Do you know where he is now?"
"I don't know that."
Song Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and he answered with a bitter smile.
Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside the hall. A disciple of the Qingyun Sect rushed in, looking flustered, and bowed to Elder Yunhe, saying, "Elder, something terrible has happened! The people from the Silent Temple have come to our door."
"What?" Elder Yunhe's expression changed, and he stood up abruptly. "People from the Temple of Annihilation? Why would they suddenly come to my Qingyun Sect?"
The disciple said urgently, "The leader is one of the six elders of the Temple of Annihilation. He said... he said that our Qingyun Sect must hand over the Human Emperor, otherwise, he will massacre the Qingyun Sect!"
A murderous glint suddenly flashed in Song Yu's eyes.
At the same time, a strong sense of curiosity flashed through my mind.
How did the other party know that I was here?
Could it be...
Song Yu glanced up at Yun He, a half-smile playing on his lips.
Song Yu's gaze slowly swept across Elder Yunhe's face, and within that half-smile lay a hint of cold probing.
Elder Yunhe's expression changed slightly, as if he had been pierced by that gaze. He quickly slammed his hand on the table in feigned anger: "Outrageous! How dare the minions of the Temple of Annihilation be so arrogant! Human Emperor, do not panic. The entire Qingyun Sect will stand with you through thick and thin!"
As he spoke, he was about to get up and rush outside, but before he could take a step, Song Yu's calm words stopped him in his tracks.
"What's the rush, Elder?" Song Yu picked up his wine cup, took a slow sip, his gaze fixed on the wine in the cup, but his voice was as cold as ice. "Since the people from the Temple of Annihilation dared to come, they must have come prepared. Going out now would probably be exactly what they want."
Elder Yunhe's heart skipped a beat, but he maintained his indignant expression: "What does the Human Emperor mean by this? Does he mean that my Qingyun Sect is afraid of them?"
"afraid?"
Song Yu finally raised his eyes, his gaze filled with chaotic divine light, and an invisible pressure instantly enveloped the entire Qingyun Pavilion. "What I fear is being attacked from both sides!"
Upon hearing this, both the Demon Emperor and Naihe's expressions hardened, and their auras surged dramatically.
The Demon Emperor sneered, his gaze sweeping over Elder Yunhe like a knife: "Old man, you're practically trying to push us into a fire pit with your words."
Elder Yunhe's face turned ashen, but he forced himself to remain calm and shouted, "What makes you say such a thing, Senior Demon Emperor? My Qingyun Sect is utterly loyal to the Human Emperor, how can we tolerate such slander from you!"
"absolute sincerity?"
Song Yu put down his wine glass, the bottom of which clinked against the table with a crisp sound. "Then tell me, how did the people from the Temple of Annihilation know so accurately that I was in the Azure Cloud Sect? The Star Gate teleportation changes in an instant. We arrived only a moment ago, how could the news have spread so quickly?"
A barrage of questions struck Elder Yunhe's heart like a heavy hammer. He opened his mouth, but was momentarily speechless, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Just then, a loud, arrogant laugh came from outside the hall, the sound making the windowpanes vibrate: "Yunhe, no need to pretend anymore! Since that brat Song Yu has already become suspicious, let's just lay our cards on the table!"
Before he could finish speaking, the gate of Qingyun Pavilion was smashed open by a tremendous force. Amidst the flying wood chips, an old man dressed in purple robes slowly walked in.
The old man had a withered face, but his eyes were as sinister as a venomous snake. He exuded an aura comparable to that of a peak Dao Realm expert. He was none other than Elder Zi Sha, one of the six elders of the Silent God Temple.
Behind Elder Zi Sha were dozens of elite disciples from the Silent God Temple, each with a fierce aura, who instantly surrounded the Azure Cloud Pavilion.
Upon seeing this, Elder Yunhe's indignation and anxiety vanished instantly, replaced by a fawning smile.
He turned around, bowed to Elder Zi Sha, and said in a respectful tone that was almost humble: "Elder Zi Sha, I have successfully led Song Yu and the other two into the Qingyun Sect."
"very good."
Elder Zi Sha chuckled sinisterly, his gaze fixed on Song Yu as if he were a dead man. "Song Yu, you ant from the lower realm, do you even dare to stir up trouble in the upper realm? Today, this Qingyun Pavilion will be your burial ground!"
The Demon Emperor laughed in fury, his demonic energy surging like a tide, black demonic patterns twisting and dancing in the air: "You bunch of chickens and dogs, how dare you spout such nonsense?"
"A chicken or a dog?" Elder Yunhe sneered, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes. "Demon Emperor, do you think we're really unprepared? Just look up!"
Upon hearing this, Song Yu and the other two subconsciously looked up.
The dome of Qingyun Pavilion was now covered with countless runes, which shimmered with an eerie crimson light and intertwined to form a massive array diagram.
"This is the Immortal-Locking Formation!"
The Demon Emperor's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Once this formation is activated, even a Dao Immortal Lord can be trapped for a short while!"
"Not bad!" Elder Zi Sha chuckled maliciously, then waved his hand. "Yun He, activate the grand formation!"
"Yes!"
Elder Yunhe responded and quickly formed hand seals.
In an instant, the runes on the dome shone brightly, and a terrifying suction force erupted from the formation, causing the surrounding spiritual energy to surge wildly, attempting to forcibly draw away the power of Song Yu and the other two!
Song Yu felt a sudden stagnation in his Daoist aura, as if the power within his body was being gripped by an invisible hand, making it quite difficult to circulate.
He frowned slightly, but his mind was clear. Sure enough, from the moment he stepped into the Qingyun Sect, it was a carefully laid trap.
"Song Yu, surrender!"
Elder Zi Sha pressed closer, his eyes filled with greed, "It's already quite an achievement that you've reached the pinnacle of the Dao within ten thousand years!"
Song Yu let out a cold snort, his eyes flashing with divine light.
He suddenly raised his hand, and a chaotic-colored longsword suddenly appeared in the void. Countless Daoist runes flowed on the sword's blade, radiating a sharpness that looked down upon the world.
"Demon Emperor, what can I do? Protect yourself!"
With a deep shout, Song Yu swung his sword across the sky, slashing fiercely at the formation above the dome. "Today, I will break this so-called Immortal-Locking Formation!"
"boom!"
With a single strike, chaotic sword energy tore through the sky and collided violently with the runes on the dome.
The formation trembled violently, and the crimson light dimmed slightly, but it still did not break.
Seeing this, Elder Yunhe immediately increased his spiritual power output and sneered, "Song Yu, don't waste your energy! This Immortal Locking Formation is the core of the formation set up by the Palace Master of the Silent Extinction Temple. With your little strength, you simply can't break it!"
Elder Zi Sha also seized the opportunity to strike, condensing a purple aura in his hand, which, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, stabbed towards Song Yu's back.
"Your opponent is me!"
The Demon Emperor roared, and his demonic energy transformed into a gigantic demonic hand, forcefully shattering the malevolent light.
He was locked in combat with Elder Zi Sha, their demonic energy clashing with their malevolent energy, unleashing a deafening roar.
However, he flashed away, turning into a blur, and rushed towards the disciples of the Temple of Annihilation who had surrounded him.
Although his cultivation level was only at the early stage of the Dao Realm, his combat power far surpassed that of his peers. Wherever he went, screams rose and fell, and disciples of the Silent Temple fell to the ground one after another.
In an instant, the Qingyun Pavilion was filled with the sounds of battle, the crisscrossing sword energy, and the surging demonic energy.
Holding the Dao Sword, Song Yu slashed at the Immortal Locking Array time and time again. With each impact, the array's light dimmed a little.
He could feel that the binding force of the formation was gradually weakening, while Elder Yunhe's face was growing paler and paler.
"Impossible! This is impossible!"
Elder Yunhe roared wildly, unable to understand how a cultivator from the lower realm could shake the great formation set up by the palace master.
A cold smile curled at the corner of Song Yu's lips. He took a deep breath, and the chaotic energy around him surged wildly, unleashing the power of the peak of the Dao without reservation.
He concentrated all his power into the Dao Sword, and the runes on the sword shone brightly, faintly showing the power to tear apart heaven and earth.
"break!"
With a roar, Song Yu unleashed his sword, which, carrying the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, once again slashed towards the dome.
This time, there was no earth-shattering roar, only a crisp cracking sound.
