Chapter 1456: Strength Too Weak

that Jiang Yun had set up, it was like paper paste, crumbling instantly and vanishing into nothingness.He was thrown back by the force, crashing heavily against a mountain wall, shattering it to piece..."I'm going!"

In a pool, approximately ten thousand zhang in radius, shrouded in swirling mists, a sharp sound suddenly rang out.

And as the sound arose, a gigantic firebird with its head emerging from the pool could be seen!

Before the phoenix stood an old man, with two long white eyebrows that almost reached his corners, now almost twisted together.

Hearing the Firebird's words, the old man shook his head and said, "You are at a crucial time of transformation now, and you must not leave the sacred pool under any circumstances!"

Huo Qiong, however, widened her eyes and exclaimed, "I don't care! At the Daozong Grand Competition, Jiang Yun will definitely participate. He is alone and facing many powerful opponents. What if someone wants to harm him I must go and help him!"

"Since it's the Wudao Sect Grand Competition, as a disciple of the Wudao Sect, who would be against him" The elder smiled wryly and said: "Besides, your current strength isn't up to par. Even if you went, you wouldn't be able to help him much!"

"Am I not good enough"

The feathers on Huǒniǎo's head instantly stood on end. "It's clearly your broken Sacred Pond that's the problem! You said I could be reborn, but it's been years now, and I haven't felt a single change!"

"Hoopoe shook his head and said, “Forget it, you Holy Clan are all high and mighty, I can't compare to you. I should go now!”

Seeing the firebird truly about to rush out of the sacred pool, the elder hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, I'm afraid of you. Just stay here obediently, and I'll send someone to protect Jiang Yun, won't I"

"Who are they sending Couldn't it be those five elemental demons again They're too weak, last time they went they almost got Jiang Yun killed!"

"Why don't you, old Saint, just go yourself!"

It's unbelievable that the mighty Five Elements Daoist, esteemed for his power, would be described as weak by a mere Firebird! If Wu Yang and his companions heard this, they would surely spit out blood in rage and fight the Firebird to the death!

The old man's facial muscles twitched slightly as he said, "I'm going. Who here will help you shed your skin and be reborn Let me tell you, if you dare to cause trouble again, not even those five of them will be allowed to leave!"

The falcon's eyes rolled, and she knew that if she persisted, the old man would follow through. So, with a strained nod, she said, "Then those five will do. Not one less, all five must go!"

The old man squeezed out three words from between his teeth: "Know, understand, done!"

Immediately afterward, Wu Yang and the five others received a voice transmission from the elder: “In the Grand Competition of the Daoist Sect, our Saint Clan shouldn't be present, but this time is special. So, you should blend in with the ancient demon clan. Don’t reveal yourselves unless necessary!”

……

The Five Elements Dao Sect, as the Sect Master of the Five Elements, Five Element Son is currently sitting cross-legged in his own cave abode. And before him, four human figures are suspended!

Four puppets, each crafted with astonishing realism, clearly depicted the appearances of the original Five Elemental Elders.

However, the fire festival lacked Hikaruno's doll.

Staring at the four puppets, Wu Xingzi's face gradually revealed a ferocious expression. But just then, he suddenly raised his head and looked outside his cave, coldly saying: "What guts! To dare trespass into my place!"

As he was speaking, Wu Xingzi had already raised his hand, but an aged voice rang out from outside the cave: "Wu Xing Daoist, please hold your hand."

As the voice faded, a plain-looking old man appeared in the air before Wuxingzi.

Seeing this man, Wuxingzi's eyes narrowed slightly. Though he lowered his raised hand, he still said coldly, "So it's the leader of the Yin Clan. You don't go to serve Dao Zun, but sneak here, what business do you have"

The elder smiled faintly and said, “Of course I have news to tell my friend.”

"What's the news"

Ginger Cloud's message!

At the sound of the name "Jiang Yun," a flash of cold light appeared in Wu Xingzi's narrowed eyes, but it disappeared without a trace as he said, "What is Jiang Yun What does he have to do with me"

The elder let out a hearty laugh and said, “Five Elements Daoist friend, do you think it's necessary to conceal anything before my Hidden Clan”

The elder's words caused a contemplative expression to appear on Wu Xingzi's face.

Perhaps others are unaware of the existence of the Hidden Clan, but he knows it well.

The Hidden Clan is a group of people cultivated by the Venerable Daoist. As their name suggests, they are skilled in spatial concealment techniques and specialize in assassination and surveillance for the Venerable Daoist.

The reason why no one dares to discuss the Daoist Master at will in this world is actually because of the Hidden Clan's existence.

No matter where you hide, the Hidden Ones will find you, and you won't even realize it.

Therefore, anyone who knows of the existence of the Yin clan has a poor attitude towards them.

Even if it weren't for the support of a Daoist master behind the Hidden Clan, they would have been wiped out countless times already.

After a moment of silence, the cold light in Wu Xingzi's eyes finally disappeared. “Could it be that your Hidden Clan also has a grudge against Jiang Yun”

"Not bad!" The elder nodded. "We were ordered by the lord to track Jiang Yun, but as a result, my clansmen were discovered and killed by him."

"As you know, our Yin clan excels at assassination. If we can't remain hidden, it's incredibly difficult to kill anyone. Jiang Yun's divine sense is exceptionally powerful; even I, personally trailing him, was detected. Therefore, I'd like to request the assistance of Daoist Wu Xing."

Wu Xingzi calmly said, “Although I have some past grievances with him, whether or not I kill him doesn’t really matter to me.”

The old man laughed heartily and said, “Elder Five Elements of your sect has four dead at his hands. Although Elder Water survived by a fluke, he lost his physical body and only his soul remains. Is this the so-called grudge your friend mentioned”

Although the old man pointed out the grudge between him and Jiang Yun, Wuxingzi remained unmoved and said: “That can only blame them for their poor skills. Besides, this is an affair of our Wuxing Daozong, and it seems to have nothing to do with you.”

A hint of disappointment crossed the elder's face as he shook his head. "No matter how you feel, since I came here today, I naturally have to tell you about Jiang Yun."

"That Jiangyun is the master of a branch sect of the Wudao Sect. He is now on his way to Wudao Tian to participate in the grand competition. Farewell!"

Wu Xingzi faintly said, "No thanks!"

The old man indeed turned and left, while Wu Xingzi remained sitting there until a long time later, when he coldly smiled and said: "Does the Yin Clan still have people they can't kill What a joke! I think it's you who are afraid to kill Jiang Yun!"

The only way the Hidden Clan would dare not kill someone is if the Daoist Sovereign stopped them.

"So you came to me, wanting to use my hand to kill Jiang Yun and avenge yourselves You're quite ambitious!"

However, your clan has always been vindictive, and the feud between our people cannot be easily abandoned. I disagree with this, and you will surely seek others out.

Since Gingercloud is going to the Daozong Grand Competition, I might as well take a trip there and see who your Hidden Clan can find to kill Gingercloud!

As soon as his words fell, Wuxingzi stood up, with a flick of his long sleeves, he had already walked out of the cave.

……

At this very moment, Jiang Yun and Teng Lin looked at each other. Though neither made a move, within a radius of a hundred miles around them, there was no one to be found.

After everyone learned about Tenglin's identity, they all hurriedly retreated over a hundred miles away.

These two are bound to have a fight, they don't want to end up like those cultivators in the teleportation array before them, suffering an undeserved calamity.

After a moment of standoff, Teng Lin coldly said, "Draw your sword!"

In fact, Gingercloud had known all along that she would eventually meet Tenglin.

And as the opponent was a Sword Sect elder, he himself also possessed the peak strength of the Dao Platform Realm, so he was not polite either. He drew his Cang Dao Sword from within his body and held it in his hand.

However, just as Teng Lin saw clearly the Zangdao Sword in Jiang Yun's hand, his always calm expression suddenly changed!
