In the book, the status of the Main Divine Temple was constantly elevated.
Throughout the whole book, it only wrote about the great feats of the Main Divine Temple and how the eight existing immortals in the temple turned the tide in the great war.
But Shen Qing knew that if it weren't for the thirty - six temple guards sacrificing themselves to activate the formation, the Demon Abyss could never have been sealed. However, in this book, this matter was only briefly mentioned.
The credit for sealing the Demon Abyss was attributed to the eight immortals. It was said that if they hadn't found the ancient spell to seal the Demon Abyss and sacrificed their own paths to immortality, the world wouldn't have enjoyed ten thousand years of peace.
Over these ten thousand years, none of the eight immortals in the Main Divine Temple had successfully ascended. It was because they had sacrificed too much in that great war and ruined their paths to immortality.
Every word and sentence portrayed the eight immortals of the Main Divine Temple as the saviors of the world.
"How dare the people in the Main Divine Temple distort the facts like this?!"
The Dark Wolf let out an angry growl, and the tears in its eyes were about to fall.
"How can they be so shameless? If it weren't for Luo Ling and the others, how could the Demon Abyss have been sealed? And where would the ten - thousand - year peace come from? What do the eight immortals of the Main Divine Temple have to do with all this?"
"Back then when Luo Ling and the others sacrificed themselves to activate the formation, these eight immortals, relying on their status as leaders, cowered in the base camp and refused to go to the front line."
"Most of the cultivators in the united sect team died. If it weren't for their wrong leadership, we wouldn't have suffered such heavy casualties!"
As the Dark Wolf spoke, it closed its eyes, as if recalling some painful memories.
Shen Qing clenched her fists tightly. She wasn't very clear about what had happened ten thousand years ago. Luo Ling had only told her about the sealing of the Demon Abyss.
As for what the eight immortals of the Main Divine Temple had actually done, Shen Qing had no idea.
"What on earth are they trying to do..."
"The people in the Main Divine Temple are going too far! I'm going to destroy all the copies of this book in the bookstores right now!!"
Saying that, the Dark Wolf transformed back into its wolf form and was about to rush down the mountain to destroy these books.
Shen Qing flashed in front of the Dark Wolf and blocked its way.
"Don't go!!"
The Dark Wolf let out a growl and asked painfully, "Why don't you let me go? Are we just going to let them distort the facts like this?!"
Shen Qing said sharply, "Do you think it will be useful just to destroy these few books?!"
"The Qingyun Sword Sect is located in a remote place. You got this book from the bookstore just a few days after going down the mountain. But you know, the towns near the Qingyun Sword Sect are just small towns.
"Even the bookstores in small towns have this book. Not to mention the big cities. This book must have spread all over the Nine Desolate Continent by now.
"What you're going to destroy now is just a small part of it. It won't work at all. It will only attract the attention of the Main Divine Temple. Do you really want to be captured by the people in the Main Divine Temple and let the truth be buried in the dust?!!!"
The huge wolf body of the Dark Wolf trembled, and it took half a step back, emitting a painful whine from its throat.
"I... I don't want Luo Ling to be forgotten by the world. It was their sacrifice... that brought about the current situation..."
"The people in the Main Divine Temple... What right do they have?!"
The Dark Wolf transformed back into its human form and slumped to the ground. Its pure - white body seemed to be covered with a layer of shadow.
"Because they are powerful, and because they can dominate the current cultivation world," Li Xian pushed open the door, looked at the Dark Wolf calmly, and said.
The Dark Wolf covered its eyes with its hands, in pain and despair.
"What should I do... to let the world know the truth? Luo Ling... Luo Ling... Your sacrifice was so worthless!"
Shen Qing looked at Li Xian helplessly, her eyes full of uneasiness.
"The Main Divine Temple has been acting more and more perversely recently. They know that no one can resist them.
"Taking advantage of the matter of the monster rampage in the Coral City of the Sea, they will surely take further actions. If you collapse now, you might as well find a cave in the Beast Forest and spend the rest of your life in solitude."
"No! I won't!!"
"If I die, no one will remember Luo Ling anymore, and no one will know about her past. I can't let the only evidence of Luo Ling's existence in this world disappear!"
The Dark Wolf retorted excitedly and stood up.
"They're just those eight hypocritical and disgusting guys in the Main Divine Temple. I don't believe that no one can compete with them!"
Saying that, the Dark Wolf cast a sharp look at Shen Qing. The look in its eyes was like that of a hungry wolf eyeing a piece of fat meat, which made Shen Qing shiver.
Why was the Dark Wolf looking at her all of a sudden?
"Shen Qing, since you've received Luo Ling's inheritance, you must practice hard for me. This time when you go down the mountain, I'll surely follow you closely and watch you form a Nascent Soul quickly!!"
Shen Qing's eyes widened, and then she heard Li Xian's voice.
"Fiancée, don't worry. Although I haven't formed a Nascent Soul yet, I'll also watch you."
Shen Qing involuntarily took half a step back, feeling that her future life would be extremely difficult.
However, this was also what she had been longing for.
The book written by Immortal Huiyan was listed as a forbidden book in the Qingyun Sword Sect. But even so, there were still disciples secretly reading it.
True Person Honghua summoned the Dark Wolf and some elders overnight and compiled a documentary record about the Demon Realm War ten thousand years ago.
This documentary record was printed by the sect itself, and each disciple got a copy.
Through this book, the disciples finally knew some things about the Demon Race War ten thousand years ago.
Including the event of Luo Ling and thirty - five others sacrificing themselves to activate the formation. Only then did the disciples know that what was said in the book published by the Main Divine Temple was not the truth.
This book was also used as a gift for Shen Qing's betrothal ceremony. Each guest who came to the sect for the ceremony got a copy.
The date of the betrothal ceremony was approaching, and the whole Qingyun Sword Sect was decorated festively. After all, it was a marriage alliance between two major sects, so it had to be done grandly.
Shen Qing herself didn't feel much, but the other disciples were beaming with joy.
Even Hong Chaoyang and Qi Nian were infected by this atmosphere. Every time they came to see Shen Qing, there was a smile on their faces.
It was just that when Hong Chaoyang faced Li Xian, she still cowered like a mouse seeing a cat.
The wedding dress for the betrothal ceremony was also sent by the sect. Elders Yaoyue and True Person Hongdie personally helped Shen Qing try it on.
The wedding dress was a bit like the phoenix coronet and embroidered robe in the mortal world, but it was made more simply. The wide sleeves were made of mermaid yarn, shimmering like waves. The red fabric sparkled with golden light, extremely noble.
This was taken out by Yu Xuzi from the treasure trove of the Five - Element Dao Sect.
The headdress included two golden phoenix hairpins with tassels made of mermaid pearls, shining brightly.
After putting it on, without any makeup, Shen Qing looked like a celestial maiden descending from the nine heavens.
Yaoyue and Hongdie sighed at the same time, "We didn't realize before that Shen Qing is also very suitable for such gorgeous dressing."
Especially True Person Hongdie. When she saw Shen Qing putting on the wedding dress, she thought of her useless daughter.
If Hong Chaoyang were to get married, she was afraid she would faint from crying in the room.
