Capítulo 2212: Chapter 2158–2159: Returning to the Mountain for Aid, Arrival of the Dayan True Monarch
And I traveled unimpeded, encountering no obstacles, which shows that the other party is willing to see me, thus proving their attitude.
Only the cranes and deer gathered, monkeys came and went, and vines hung in front of the cave entrance. Duke Wei’s face showed a look of nostalgia. He once cultivated here, spending many years, experiencing everything here, a glimmer of tears appeared, and he asked: “Is the Ancestor Master here?”
Immediately, a young Taoist boy in a robe, with a topknot on his head, came out, seeing Duke Wei, and said with a hint of reminiscence: “This guest looks like Brother Wei, right? The Ancestor Master has been waiting for some time.”
Although Duke Wei’s family name is Xu, when he joined the Dayan sect he did not use his real name; instead, he took the surname Wei, and thus the young Taoist boy called him Brother Wei.
Duke Wei nodded and said, “Please lead the way.”
The young Taoist boy led Duke Wei into the cave abode, where they saw the Great Inference Ancestor Master surrounded by Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, Seven Stars hanging high, Six Harmonies converging, Five Elements arranged, Four Images moving, and Three Talents in place, with Two Elements evolving.
The Dayan True Monarch sat high on the cloud bed, slowly opened his eyes, and spoke in a cold tone: “Several of your senior brothers went down the mountain to assist you, and now that a few have fallen, do you acknowledge your guilt?”
Being in the mountain, yet knowing the affairs of the world.
Even if one cannot, like a Taoist Monarch, sit quietly in a cave abode and see through All Heavens.
But as a powerful True Immortal Sixth Layer Heaven existence, the Great Inference Ancestor Master is well aware of everything happening outside Fire God City, not to mention that no one would hide something as important as the life lamps of disciples left in the sect being extinguished.
Although these disciples received his decree, after all, they fought for the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, serving Duke Wei.
Even if it was for his own plans, seeing the disciples he valued, the backbone of the Dayan sect, fall like this, the Dayan True Monarch was extremely distressed.
After all, even though Immortal Path Strong have gone through a transformation in life, achieving longevity, it does not mean they are without emotions, easily disregarding life and death.
Even Taoist Monarchs have emotions and desires, let alone True Immortals?
Disciples who have accompanied him for many years, nurtured with great effort, have fallen, how could he not feel heartache and sorrow.
It would have been better if the Great Inference Ancestor Master had not said this, but when he did, Duke Wei immediately felt a deep sadness, his eyes filled with tears, and he cried out sorrowfully: “Ancestor Master, disciple is incompetent, causing several brothers to fall, disciple is incompetent, ashamed before Ancestor Master, ashamed before the sect, ashamed before the brothers.”
Even trees and grass have feelings, how could humans not.
Although Duke Wei is high-ranking and commands large armies, accustomed to life and death, he is not an emotionless being.
Moreover, precisely because of his high rank, there are not many who can truly treat him as an equal, as a friend or confidant.
The time spent joining the Dayan sect as a youth to study and cultivate is one of the most important periods in Duke Wei’s life, even more memorable than his time in the Duke Mansion.
The gates of the noble family are deep like the sea; even at that time, he was the Heir of the Duke, but not many could be close to him, many approached him for his power and status, not out of genuine heart.
Instead, in the Dayan sect, although there were debates and conflicts with many brothers, all treated each other as equals, with deep affection.
Especially Daoist Yi Zhen, as the eldest senior brother, he personally taught him cultivation hand by hand, which could be said as a half-teacher presence. Daoist Yi Zhen’s fall, claiming that Duke Wei’s heart is not sorrowful would be a lie.
However, in the martial arts world, one cannot do as they please. In the army, he is a commander of one side, and successive failures have already diminished the army’s morale, so he naturally does not dare to show any grief or lack of confidence.
At this moment, facing the Great Inference Ancestor Master, he is no longer the commander of thousands of troops, nor the high-ranking duke. He is merely a cultivator who caused senior brothers to fall, with no more restraint, emotions difficult to suppress.
Seeing the sorrow and agony of Duke Wei, the Dayan True Monarch found all the prepared words stuck in his throat, unable to say anything more.
As such a strong person, he can naturally discern whether others are sincere or insincere, and precisely because of this, he cannot blame.
Even though he took him into the sect with the intention of connecting with the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, planning and positioning in advance.
But the other party cultivated in the sect for near a hundred years, from a child to a spirited young man, all under the watchful eye of the Dayan True Monarch.
Especially now that other disciples have fallen, seeing Duke Wei sobbing in front of him reminds him of the young child who cried and fussed after being teased by the brothers.
Instantly, the cave abode fell silent, leaving only Duke Wei’s muffled sobs.
The Great Inference Ancestor Master gently waved his hand, using mana to lift the kneeling Duke Wei, coldly saying: “The Taoist Academy bullies too much, I merely ordered them to break the array, to compete through martial means, but they killed my disciples, truly bullying too much. Go back, I shall arrive shortly, and debate with the Taoist Academy on who is superior.”
The Dayan True Monarch’s eyes shone with cold light, he had indeed sent disciples down the mountain to establish good relations with the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, but he did not truly intend to fall out with the Taoist Academy. However, the other party acted so ruthlessly, consecutively killing his disciples, it was somewhat excessive.
Moreover, that Qingyang Taoist intentionally sent someone to leave Immortal Artifacts and Magical Treasures in the array, is this not using great strength to oppress the small.
