There is a silence in the Taoist temple.
Those heavenly envoys also furrowed their brows, and the Overlord had also heard rumors that in the Heavenly Court, someone mentioned a place called Yan Kang in the lower realm, where there was an Overlord named Yan Kang, known as the only one in ten thousand years.
The gods in heaven talked about this matter, they all burst out laughing, saying that the people from a small place were bragging and letting their boasts fly to heaven, just making it a topic of conversation, rarely taking it seriously.
They had just heard Qin Mu claim to be the Overlord Body, and couldn't help but burst out laughing. However, the reaction of the Daozu statue was truly beyond their expectations.
The Taoist ancestor would rather destroy the statue of himself and the three treasures than dare to receive a single bow from Qin Mu, it seems that this tyrant is not as simple as the gods in heaven imagined.
Suddenly, the youngest of the heavenly envoys, a young Taoist, clapped his hands and burst out laughing, startling everyone with the loud applause.
"That young Daoist priest laughed and said, 'Awesome, truly awesome! Yan Kang Qin Ba's body actually dared to destroy the ancestral deity's statue in Qingyun Heaven, and even destroyed the three treasures of the sect in front of the sect leader. He is indeed worthy of the name Ba Ti!"
The crowd of Taoists came to their senses, and an old Taoist pointed at Qin Mu, shouting: "You scoundrel! You've ruined the ancestral statue of my Qingyun Heaven, and with what sinister means did you shatter the three treasures of my sect?! My sect and you cannot coexist!"
Just as other Taoists were about to speak out in rebuke, Qingyun Zhangjiao suddenly shouted loudly: "Shut up!"
The Taoist temple immediately fell silent again.
Qingyun Zhangjiao was utterly disheveled, and in his heart, apart from shock, there was only more shock, but not a single spark of anger.
Because I didn't dare.
He thought one more layer than other Taoists.
Qin Mu's cultivation strength was not weak and could be considered one of the top strongmen below the Divine Realm, but he couldn't damage the ancestral deity statue or the Three Treasures.
The three treasures of the Qingyun Sect are the treasured objects of the Daozu, who is an existence at the Emperor's Throne realm. Although these three treasures are everyday items, they are not ordinary for a strong practitioner at the Emperor's Throne realm. Qin Mu would never be able to damage them with any mysterious or divine abilities.
Moreover, even if Qin Mu were to use his hands and feet, he wouldn't be able to deceive the discerning eyes of the experts present.
The three treasures were ruined by themselves.
These three treasures actually destroyed themselves!
Including the statue of the founder of Taoism is also like this.
That is to say, Daozu acknowledged that he was not worthy of Qin Mu's one bow, so he destroyed his own statue and the Three Treasures!
"Bow down!" Qingyun Zhangjiao suddenly said.
Many Taoists in the Taoist palace were stunned, but the leader spoke and did not allow them to refute. They had to get up one by one, line up in two rows, and pay their respects to Qin Mu with a bow.
Qin Mu glanced at the several heavenly envoys, and the youngest boy who had just spoken up furrowed his brow, whispering a couple of sentences to the other boys and girls beside him, it was unclear what he was saying.
"This one who looks the youngest is actually their leader."
Qin Mu looked at him with a smile and said, "Get up. Where is my seat?"
Qingyun Zhangjiao hesitated for a moment, then ordered someone to bring another seat and place it in front of the already-burned statue of the gods, higher than the seat of the Heavenly Envoy.
Qin Mu sat down and looked around, smiling: "Lin Xuan is a fellow Daoist of mine, he should also be seated in the upper seat."
Qingyun Zhangjiao frowned and ordered someone to bring another seat again.
Lin Xuan Dao sat down beside Qin Mu, and Qin Mu smiled: "Everyone, please take a seat."
Qingyun Zhangjiao personally thanked him and sat down with a group of Taoists.
Qin Mu let out a sigh of relief, thinking to himself: "It seems that Daozu is still in the mortal world and has not died yet. But I don't know whether he fell into the hands of the Tian Ting outside the domain or the already deceased ancient god Tian Di. This old Daoist is really hard to understand..."
He didn't know if the current leader of Taoism still remembered the old affection from before.
During the Longhan era, he himself had pointed out Daozu and Mahabrahma Deva Buddha, leaving a little friendship. When Yu Tianzun was killed by a surprise attack, it was Qin Mu who took over the transmission of the teachings and transmitted the way of longevity. Daozu was also one of the listeners.
However, whether this sentiment can withstand the erosion of interests and time, Qin Mu was not confident at all. Fortunately, Daozu did not dare to accept his bow, so he would not be surrounded by the Qingyun faction.
Qin Mu looked at those few Heavenly Court messengers and smiled: "Fellow daoists from the external Heavenly Court, please take a seat."
Those young men and women frowned, the youngest Daoist boy smiled: "Don't worry, let's sit down first. In front of me, he can't stir up much trouble."
They had just sat down when several Taoist priests rushed over in a flurry, their faces panicked. Before they even arrived, they were shouting loudly: "Something terrible has happened! The disciples of the Star Master are all dead at the Taoist temple!"
"What?"
Inside the Taoist temple, there was a sudden commotion. The elderly Taoists who had just sat down stood up one after another, revealing shocked expressions. Several heavenly envoys were stunned, slamming their fists and shouting in anger.
Qingyun Zhangjiao suddenly stood up, clenched his fists, and the veins on his forehead bulged out. Soon, cold sweat covered his entire body.
That day the young Taoist from the Heavenly Court still sat on the throne, coldly saying: "Fu Yun Tian, what is going on here? The disciple of the Heavenly Star Master died in Qingyun Heaven, what crime should you be guilty of?"
Qingyun Zhangjiao's forehead was beaded with cold sweat, and he bowed his head, saying: "Your Excellency, please calm down and don't worry, this disciple's words are unclear, I'll ask a clear question first!"
His voice was hoarse, and he reached out to grab those Taoist priests, asking: "The disciples of the Star Master, died in the Taoist temple, is it true or false? Are all people dead? Is there anyone who escaped? What did the people in the Taoist temple eat, how could the murderer get there? Where are they?"
He was flustered and confused, firing off questions one after another like a string of firecrackers, leaving the young Daoist priests no time to respond.
Qingyun Zhangjiao suddenly came to his senses and hastily put down the several Taoist priests, slowing down his tone: "Since things have already happened, let's take our time and talk it through clearly."
One of the Taoists hastily said, "Reporting to Master Palm, earlier several Shifu uncles arrived at the Taoist temple. One of them was Tian Hong Shifu uncle. He walked around the temple and told us that Qingyang Palace had been robbed and looted by thieves. They came here to check if any thieves had infiltrated the temple."
Qingyun Zhangjiao nodded and said, "They are the ones I sent to inform you, all of them are elders of the Dao Palace."
The Taoist palace is where the elder of Qingyun Heaven resides, while the Taoist temple is a place for studying Taoist magic and divine arts. The Taoist temple has many young disciples who are quick-witted and react swiftly.
That Taoist glanced at him and said cautiously: "Then our Taoist temple was stolen, it was the Tianyong Shifu of the Zhuchi faction who came to inform us that several masters had stolen our Taoist temple. At first, one of the masters found that he had lost his treasure, then everyone discovered that they had also been robbed, and their most precious treasures were stolen without knowing it. So everyone rushed out to find those few masters.
Qingyun Zhangjiao furrowed his brow and said: "Has everyone left?"
The Taoist hastily said: "The disciples of the Star Master left behind, drawing a star map. They were not stolen. We came outside and found that all the palaces and temples had been stolen, twenty-four halls, twelve courts, all stolen once. We searched everywhere and then found Tian Hong Shifu, who was stripped naked and thrown into the treasure house of the Hong Fa Temple, with stinky socks and underwear still stuffed in his mouth, and his primordial spirit was also sealed. The thief disguised as Tian Hong Shifu stole everything from our Qing Yun Heaven, so we locked down Qing Yun Heaven, planning to search for this thief, when passing by the Taoist temple, we found blood flowing out from under the door, opened it and saw that all those brothers who came from heaven were dead inside...
Qingyun Zhangjiao gritted his teeth and said coldly, "What a clever move to lure the tiger away from its mountain! This thief has led you all astray in order to make a move on the Heavenly Envoy! Has the thief been found?"
"Just now. When we rushed over just now, we heard that someone discovered that Yu Xian Shang Tao's primordial spirit had been sealed, with underwear stuffed in her mouth and a straw mat covering her head, buried..."
The Qingyun Palm Master finally couldn't hold back his anger and was about to erupt when Qin Mu suddenly coughed and said calmly, "Palm Master, your Qingyun Heaven has indeed been robbed, and we were also stolen from. However, the one who killed the Star宿主神's disciple is not the thief, but rather me and Lin Daozu."
As soon as this statement came out, the Taoist temple was in an uproar.
Qingyun's mind was buzzing, his vision went black, and his body stumbled slightly.
Qin Mu sat on the throne, his index finger lightly tapping the dragon head armrest of the throne, and said calmly: "I am here as a guest, Lin Daozhu is here to visit relatives, originally should not be in the host's house to kill people. However, the guests in the host's house are secretly plotting against Yan Kang, refining some kind of heavenly map to destroy Yan Kang. Since they are not being hospitable to us, we can only take action. We don't do things in secret, after killing these heaven court's running dogs, we will naturally inform the head of the sect."
Qingyun's mind was in great turmoil, and the other old Daoists were also completely at a loss, staring blankly at him, waiting for him to speak.
That day, the young Taoist of the Heavenly Court suddenly stood up and coldly laughed: "Fu Yun Tian, the disciple of the Heavenly Court's Star宿主神 was killed in Qingyun Heaven. You can't bear the sin, since you know the real culprit is right in front of you, what are you waiting for? Are you waiting for Qingyun Heaven to be destroyed and its people to be exterminated?"
Qingyun's palms were clenched into fists as he turned around to look at Qin Mu.
Qin Mu calmly said: "The Dao Ancestor has not yet spoken, and the leader is already taking charge? Why don't you go ask the Dao Ancestor?"
That young Daoist turned around to face Qin Mu, and laughed loudly: "The ancestral deity's statue was destroyed by you, how can we connect with the ancestral deity? Qin Mu, your body is tyrannical, first destroying the ancestral deity's statue, then destroying the three treasures of the ancestral deity, and killing 360 star gods' disciples, trying to frame Qingyun Heaven, attempting to destroy the ancestral deity's orthodoxy in one fell swoop. Your intentions are sinister, your crimes deserve ten thousand deaths!"
Qin Mu burst out laughing and said leisurely, "Does the Sect Master have other means of contacting the Ancestor? Why don't you go quickly?"
Qingyun Zhangjiao's six spirits were left unattended, he gritted his teeth and turned to leave, saying in a low voice: "I will go ask for the opinion of the Daoist ancestor whose portrait is where I meditate. As for the others..."
He stopped in his tracks, furrowed his brow and said in a low voice: "Keep an eye on them, they can't leave Qingyun Heaven for half a step!"
An old Taoist said in a low voice: "That messenger from Heaven..."
"Include the Heavenly Envoy!" Qingyun Palm Teach hastily departed.
Qin Mu stood up, let out a hearty laugh, and walked down the steps, heading towards the outside of the Taoist temple. He smiled and said, "The east wind is borrowing my strength to send me soaring into the blue clouds. The blue clouds are truly a wonderful place, can I take one step and reach the heavens?"
The young Taoist from the Heavenly Court also stood up and followed behind him, smiling: "It's possible to ascend to heaven in one step, but it's also possible to fall into hell and never recover for ten thousand kalpas."
Lin Xuan nodded at Daoist You, and the two of them also walked out of the Daoist temple.
"You have an extraordinary aura, how should I address you?" Qin Mu asked as he arrived outside the Dao Palace and inquired of the young Daoist.
"Tian Ting Dao Men, the direct disciple of the ancestor of Taoism, Xiao Chun Feng."
That young Daoist said calmly, "Although I am a disciple of the Dao Ancestor, I have never seen the Dao Ancestor. The reason I entered the Tian Ting Dao Gate was just to hang up a name and learn the magical powers of the Dao Gate. With my family background and status, being a disciple of the Dao Ancestor is actually an honor for the Dao Ancestor."
Qin Mu's heart slightly stirred as he inquired: "Could it be that Brother Mo is a descendant of which ancient god?"
The young Taoist was surprised and praised: "Qin Badao's body is indeed not a vain name. I am the son of Taiyin Niangniang."
"No wonder her surname is Xiao, it turns out she took her mother's surname."
Qin Mu smiled and said, "The Taiyin Star Lord is an ancient god in the moon, with a reputation equal to that of the Taiyang Star Lord. However, looking at how young you are, I suppose you must be the illegitimate child of the Taiyin Star Lord, born from some unknown affair."
Xiao Chunfeng's eyes twitched slightly.
Qin Mu smiled all over his face and said, "I and Lin Daozhu just killed the disciples of the Zhēnshén of Xīngxiù, but we didn't see any disciples of the Four Emperors. May I ask where they are?"
"We're right here." The heavenly men and women behind him said coldly.
Qin Mu turned around and said, "Which one of you is a disciple of Nan Di?"
One of the red-clad girls said, "It was I."
Qin Mu carefully sized up the girl, nodded lightly and smiled: "I have an old relationship with the Southern Emperor, I won't kill you. All of you heavenly court's seniors, the tyrant is here, who will come to send themselves to death?"
