Chapter 266.2
After the Qiankun Palace disappeared for nearly two months, everyone basically accepted that everyone who entered had died inside. No matter how unwilling the first and third elders were, they could only helplessly face reality and start making other plans.
However, they did not give up their plan to get promoted.
So not long after, a genius under the Third Elder was jointly nominated by the Great Elder and the Third Elder to serve as the new holy son.
However, at the ceremony of enthroning the new holy son, other factions took the opportunity to attack the First Elder and the Third Elder.
The first to attack was the Second Elder. Although his forces were not as strong as those of the Great Elder and the Third Elder, they were also quite powerful, so he was much more confident than the others. He questioned the Great Elder about the loss of the holy son and holy maiden at the Qiankun Palace, and he declared that he believed that the Great Elder was no longer qualified to be in power in the Ziqing Sacred Land.
In order to make the Great Elder and the Third Elder unable to refute, he even brought in the patriarch of the Murong family, Murong Pianpian’s father.
As the most talented young generation of the Murong family, Murong Pianpian is highly expected by the entire family. No matter how much they tried to use Murong Pianpian, they essentially hoped that Murong Pianpian could become an important figure in the Ziqing Sacred Land. Because only such a Murong Pianpian can lead the entire family to a higher level.
But now, Murong Pianpian’s life or death is uncertain, the Murong family’s hopes have all been dashed, and the Great Elder and the Third Elder even have the vague intention of kicking the Murong family out of their faction. How can this not make the Murong family dissatisfied?
Originally, the Murong family did not dare to go against the Great Elder and the Third Elder, but later, the Second Elder joined together with other factions to extend an olive branch to the Murong family, so that the Murong family suddenly had a backer. With a backer, the Murong family was not so afraid of the Great Elder and the Third Elder, so there was a scene where Murong Pianpian’s father questioned the Great Elder on the spot.
Seeing that the Murong family, who had always been used as pawns by him, dared to jump out and oppose him at this time, the Great Elder could not help but fly into a rage and wanted to attack Murong Pianpian’s father on the spot. Fortunately, the Second Elder reacted in time and saved the Murong family patriarch.As a result, the conflict between the two sides was completely intensified. The entire Ziqing Sacred Land was instantly divided into three major factions.
The first is the ruling faction of the Great Elder and the Third Elder. Although this faction is small in number, it has many experts and is powerful.
The second is the opposition led by the Second Elder. This faction does not have as many experts, but it is large in number and its overall strength is not weaker than that of the ruling faction.
The third group is the neutrals. They don’t care who is in power, as long as their interests are not violated. So in this conflict, they are the real spectators.
The ruling party and the opposition were at loggerheads at the canonization ceremony of the new holy son, with neither side giving in. The opposition demanded that the ruling party step down immediately, while the ruling party held on to the power in their hands and refused to let go. At first, the confrontation between the two sides was limited to words, but it didn’t take long for the confrontation to turn to fists.
The entire Ziqing Sacred Land had long been turned into a huge powder keg due to the many factions over the years, and this face-to-face conflict completely ignited it.
At the beginning of the fight, not everyone might be ready to kill. After all, they were all from the same sect, so there was always some friendship. But as long as one person really wanted to kill, the conflict would directly turn into a fight to the death.
Unfortunately, among those who took action, some actually killed people directly.
Outsiders have no way of knowing who was the first to kill. All they know is that this conflict caused the Ziqing Sacred Land to completely split.
A fierce battle broke out between the two sides. The Ziqing Temple was bombed into ruins, and the Shangqing Terrace was directly razed to the ground. The Third Elder was killed by the Second Elder with a palm strike, and the Second Elder was also seriously injured by the attack of the Great Elder. Many masters were fighting in the chaos, and there were many people who took the opportunity to take revenge. The scene was extremely chaotic. The Ziqing Sacred Land, which was originally as ethereal as a fairyland on earth, instantly turned into a bloody ghost den.
In this battle, the Great Elder’s lineage finally prevailed. The Second Elder’s lineage suffered heavy losses and was forced to flee. In order to wipe out the root of the problem, the Great Elder killed many of the Second Elder’s disciples. For a time, the Ziqing Sacred Land was flooded with blood, and it was a horrible sight.
The civil war in Ziqing Sacred Land could not be concealed from the outside world. In just three days, the news spread throughout the entire Beizhou. The Tiangang Sword Sect, which has always had a close relationship with the Ziqing Sacred Land, immediately sent many masters to the Ziqing Sacred Land to help stabilize the situation. However, Chongyang Sword Sect and Xuanlei Sect took the opportunity to send a large number of masters to wantonly plunder the industries under the name of Ziqing Sacred Land.
The Great Elder was naturally filled with hatred for the actions of Chongyang Sword Sect and Xuanlei Sect, but at the moment he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger. However, he had secretly made up his mind that when he recovered, he would definitely teach these two sects a lesson!
But before the Great Elder could recover, he suffered another head-on blow.
Three days later, a shocking secret suddenly spread in the cultivation world of Beizhou.
Three years ago, the Grand Elder of Ziqing Sacred Land secretly poisoned the Ziqing Holy Lord, causing him to die!
