Soaring of Galaxia
chapter-561

When Luo Tongtian spoke the three words of 'Qin Wushuang,' he had spoken it with complex feelings. Even as he tried to forcefully control his emotions, these series of events had turned the words "Qin Wushuang" into a terrifying spell. Even Luo Tongtian, the leader of a sect, could not remain calm and collected when such grudge had grown with each passing day.

"Head Dao Warrior, that Qin Wushuang…" Clearly, Tian Mingshan found it tough to accept this reality.

Luo Hengye was also not free of questions as he asked: "Head Dao Warrior, under the continuous pursuit of the sect, that Qin Wushuang could not have evaded us. How could he have the guts to infiltrate the Divine Brilliance Prefecture?"

Each person had the same questions from their mind. If a young man of the Human Countries could make the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect fall into such an embarrassing state, then it would appear inconceivable.

This fact had completely toppled their perception. In their eyes, the Human Countries was a desolate and barren place that they could just ignore.

Now, Luo Tongtian could not find an outlet for his bitterness. He started to organize his thoughts and it seemed the crucial part of the matter had originated from Lu Xianlou.

"Luo Yi!"

Luo Yi, the person who had just been called out, could not help but quiver inwardly. He stepped out from the crowd cautiously and mumbled: "Head Dao Warrior."

"In the capital city of the Danxia Prefecture, what exactly did Lu Xianlou give to that young man?"

Luo Yi spoke with a miserable expression: "Head Dao Warrior, at that time Lu Xianlou unleashed powerful aura and I did not dare to approach them. I could not enter to see what they were plotting. However, I did hear Lu Xianlou scold that guy with a loud voice. It seems that guy asked Lu Xianlou to make some spiritual talisman and was unable to pay the fee."

The expression of Luo Tongtian had become exceptionally unsightly: "Lu Xianlou, Lu Xianlou… I didn't expect you to give me trouble even after your death!" Luo Tongtian was not Luo Yi as he intimately knew Lu Xianlou's situation, being his sworn enemy. Lu Xianlou was undoubtedly making a show of scolding that young man to pull the wool over people's eyes.

Although he opened his mouth, Luo Yi did not dare to say anything further as he retreated quietly.

"That young man must be Qin Wushuang! Being my sworn enemy, only Lu Xianlou would have known the many secrets of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect. Only he could have guided that kid to charge into the Divine Brilliance Prefecture. Perhaps, Lu Xianlou had given him many treasures that would allow that kid enough capital to make his way through the sect!"

"Head Dao Warrior, then in this case, the person that killed Luo Zhan and the other Elders at the Morning Sun Town was Qin Wushuang?"

"The Morning Sun Town was their entry point!" Finally, Luo Tongtian had organized all his thoughts and continued to speak, "After breaking through the checkpoint at the Morning Sun Town, they definitely headed straight towards the Divine Brilliance Prefecture. My only regret is that we all thought they must have gone to the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan to seek help. Yet again, we have underestimated this kid's brashness. None of us would have thought he would dare to charge into the Divine Brilliance Prefecture."

"In this case, the act of finding Zuo Yuting, Landlord Zuo, and using his identity to enter the Heavenly Sun Mountain, and the Sea of Bamboo Courtyard was all organized by this kid?"

"It's horrifying, could this Qin Wushuang truly be a devil? Head Dao, most likely the entire Xuan Yuan Mound is mocking us, right? A kid of the Human Countries, just over twenty years old, had caused the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect to fall into such an embarrassing state…"

A surge of cold murderous intention shot from Luo Tongtian's eyes as he said: "At this point, we have no way to turn back. Do you still think that we should leave the matter at that?"

Killing Luo Ting, destroying the sect, any of these matters were cause for extraordinary shame and humiliation. Especially after the destruction of the sect, if the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect still showed no interest in taking action, then the sect would not exist in the Xuan Yuan Mound.

However, Luo Hengye said: "Everyone, I still have a question. I don't know about the way Zuo Yuting does things, but Elder Luo Yang is a person with strong personality and is extremely competitive. Even if he got defeated by Qin Wushuang, or fell into his trap, he should not have betrayed the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect. Why did it seem that both Landlord Zuo to Elder Luo Yang were working for that kid wholeheartedly?"

Luo Tongtian said with a cold sneer: "Lu Xianlou is deceitful man in many ways. Surely he had invented some poisonous objects to charm the mind. Or else, why would Luo Yang be taken by a foreign kid?"

"I am afraid that must be the case…" Luo Hengye gave a long sigh.

Everyone fixed their gaze onto Luo Tongtian. Now, all the details were organized and most of it were genuine.

The most crucial point was their action towards the next step.

After all, a peacemaker like Shakyamuni Jin Xu was only a minority. Additionally, with the matter progressing to today's degree, Shakyamuni Jin Xu also felt it would be impossible to make peace with Qin Wushuang.

In the end, Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect's ten thousand year legacy and foundation had been almost destroyed instantly. One would not know exactly when they could rebuild the sect.

"Everyone, you all heard Jin Xu's words. To prevent you guys from blaming me for not listening to any advice, I'm giving you the chance to speak your mind right now! Speak everything that's in your mind. Regarding how the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect will operate in the future, all of you are qualified and have the duty to offer your ideas!"

On this rare occasion, Luo Tongtian manage to control all his emotions and spoke these open-minded words through a gentle tone.

Everyone hesitated as clearly, they did not understand Luo Tongtian's intentions and did not know whether he was speaking rhetorically.

Luo Hengye said with a bitter smile: "Head Dao Warrior, I think you should still be the one to make the decision."

"The fact that I'm making the decision does not conflict with you guys making suggestions. Second, why don't you go first."

Luo Hengye held a superior position in the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect. He was one of the few that could speak on equal ground with Luo Tongtian in most situations.

Instantly, he nodded: "Then I will say a few words. Up to this point, I don't wish to speak any more discouraging words or words of courtesy. I only want to say that although this was a disastrous calamity, there is the saying of how disaster lurks within the fortune. We still have a chance to gain a fortune due to this disaster."

His words immediately attracted everyone's attention. They could still profit from a disaster?

Luo Tongtian also forced a smile: "Second, where is this chance, why don't you speak of it."

"Look, Head Dao Warrior. The lifeline of the Heavenly Sun Mountain has been completely destroyed. It's uncertain how long it would take for us to rebuild it. Those collapsed mountain peaks cannot stand again. Since the spiritual lifeline is destroyed, it's uncertain how much it would cost to rebuild it."

"Second, could it be you feel we should abandon this foundation?"

Luo Hengye said with a smile: "If we have a better choice, why not?"

A flash of light lit up in Luo Tongtian's eyes as he suddenly remembered something: "You are saying… Heavenly Emperor Mountain?"

"Yes, the Heavenly Emperor Mountain!" Luo Hengye said with an imposing manner, "If the Head Dao could enter the Supreme Dao stage, then for that Heavenly Emperor Mountain, we may be eligible to challenge it!"

"Currently, in the Xuan Yuan Mound, the strength between the second-rate powerhouses are almost equal. Although we have lost many core disciples and some of the Elders, our core elite forces were not reduced. Presently, second-rate powerhouses do not have any warrior at the Supreme Dao level. If Head Dao could enter the ranks of the Supreme Dao, we will attain first-rate status immediately! In the Xuan Yuan Mound, there are only twelve first-rate powerhouses. In addition to the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, there are only four others."

As if enumerating his family's valuables, Luo Hengye narrated systematically and in full detail the powerhouses in the Xuan Yuan Mound. He continued to speak: "If we assume the Head Dao could enter the ranks of the Supreme Dao stage, then we are the thirteenth powerhouse among those in the first-rate! If the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect made substantial contributions in the war effort against the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan, the Sound of Thunder, Heavenly Punishing Villa will surely support us in entering the Heavenly Emperor Mountain! And we can replace the Qin Clan's position!"

The core of the problem had been identified. Everyone nodded thoughtfully. In fact, even without the matter with Qin Wushuang, the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect had been conspiring on this matter as they intended to replace the position held by the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan.

If they could enter the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, why would a little foundation in the Heavenly Sun Mountain matter anymore?

Luo Tongtian's excitement also flared up at Luo Hengye's words. He said in a low voice: "It seems that the Heavenly Emperor Mountain is an opportunity, as Second said. It's an opportunity in the wake of a disaster! Everyone, when comparing the Heavenly Emperor to the Heavenly Sun Mountain, regarding the choice, you don't need me to explain right?"

If they could enter the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, what else would they say? The Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates were absolutely the core of the Xuan Yuan Mound. They were, without a single doubt, the most superior existences.

"Head Dao Warrior, if we can enter the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, I believe that our ancestors will feel the most gratified. They would never blame us for the loss of the foundation of the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect!"

"Yes, this is a chance to atone for our crimes by meritorious acts! Head Dao Warrior, for our current situation, it's meaningless to rebuild the Heavenly Sun Mountain and it's also impossible to do so. We should charge ahead. This is the so-called saying of 'fortune comes from danger!'"

The trace of a joyful smile emerged from the corner of Luo Tongtian's mouth. It seems the Heavenly Emperor Mountain posed as a great attraction to everyone.

For this great aspiration, even if he asked everyone to put their lives on the line, no one would back out.

If they could truly establish themselves in the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, what guilt would they have to feel after losing their ancestor's foundation? One could only say that they had marched forward!

However, Luo Hengye remained calm and said: "Head Dao Warrior, establishing ourselves at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain is only one of the goals. We cannot leave the foundation of the Heavenly Sun Mountain to waste. Regardless, even if this place was destroyed, it's still our territory. It can be a stronghold for us to retreat to. We must rebuild the Heavenly Sun Mountain. This way, we will have a place to move forward and a place to retreat."

Luo Tongtian vigorously agreed with him: "Second is right. The key to rebuilding the Heavenly Sun Mountain lies with the Subduing Devil Stone Tablet. Everyone make some preparations, let's go see what happened at the Nine Refined Mysterious Wind Valley. Jin Xu, Chong Guang, you two will still be in charge of the pursuit within the mountain. Regardless of anything, you must capture Luo Yang!"

A great weight had been lifted from Shakyamuni Jin Xu's heart. Hearing the tone of the Head Dao Warrior, it seemed he would not consider his crime for speaking out against him. He would not worry about his personal safety now. Yet, seeing Luo Tongtian feeling high-spirited, he still felt incredibly restless inwardly.

Even if everyone's heart was full of hope of establishing a sect in the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, he still felt that this matter would not be as simple as everyone imagined.

Especially when making themselves enemies of the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan, he still felt that this was not a smart choice. Regardless, a lean camel was still bigger than a horse. In spite their dire situation, how could they, people of a second-rate powerhouse, afford to offend a Heavenly Emperor Clan?

However, he could not bring himself to put a damper on everyone's spirits. He knew that his words would not be acknowledged by anyone. Thus, he could only go and carry out the tasks assigned to him in silence.
