The news that Chang Yiming brought was simple. All forces of various scales in Qing Province had come together to the Jiuyang Sect. Even the weakest were of Purple Mansion Realm.
They came under the guise of enforcing justice, demanding the Jiuyang Sect to give people an explanation on why they were protecting the Yinmo Sects remnants.
They were very loud, and the movement had spread through half of Eastern Region. Some forces and experts not from within Qing Province had joined in the crusade too.
Chang Yiming said worryingly, “This is an ordeal to our Jiuyang Sect. In fact, we can’t deny it because we do have a First Seat who’s a member of the Yinmo Sect. Who in the entire Eastern Region doesn’t hate the Yinmo Sect? Hence, we can’t even make any explanation. Moreover, someone is aggravating
the entire situation, trying to put us on the stage, antagonizing the whole world, and even trying to annihilate us. I even doubt that the Qingyun Sect is part of them. First Seat Jiang, Do you have any solution to pull off this ordeal?
“Do you let my Senior Brother handle everything? This is the Sect Master and every other First Seat’s responsibility.” Zi Linglong said indifferently.
“Let’s just see how it goes.” Jiang Ming laughed.
Chang Yiming smiled bitterly, for he could not do much. He could just do what Jiang Ming had said. He hesitated a while and bade farewell before returning to Laoyang Peak.
“Senior Brother, from what Chang Yiming has said, something’s obviously wrong. Someone seems to be manipulating the entire thing. This is forcing our Jiuyang Sect toward its verge. Shall I go check it out?” Linglong said as she pondered.
“No!” Jiang Ming shook his head. “Regardless of whose plot it is, they’ll reveal on their own soon. Moreover, I’ve killed almost all experts with levels higher than the Primal Spirit in Qing Province. Those united forces are no longer a threat. Don’t forget that I’ve given the Life and Death Disillusionment
Formation Disk to the Sect Master, and First Seat Hao Chen has stepped into the Primal Spirit Realm. Hence, we are supposedly able to overcome it. If he can’t even handle it well, he shouldn’t be the Sect Master.”
“You’re so cool, Senior Brother! What if a Paradis expert comes?”
“Of course, we’ll just kill them!”
Abook appeared out of nowhere in Jiang Ming’s hand. He laid on the rattan chair and started reading quietly.
He was indifferent toward the restlessness outside.
Xi Yao came pacing through the air. As soon as she reached, she asked , looking odd, “This manor was sealed three days ago. Were both of you cultivating the Unity of Heaven and Man Dao?”
“Do you know what the Unity of Heaven and Man is? Xi Yao, you still seem to be a virgin.” Linglong playfully scanned through her.
Xi Yao’s face turned slightly red, and she hugged Linglong, “You little kid, you sneer at me.”
“You are big indeed!”
Xi Yao’s body stiffened, and she could not help but grind her teeth. “Linglong, you’ve changed. Could it be that you’re seized by that pervert?”
“Hehe, there’s a great pervert over there!” Linglong said as she pointed at Jiang Ming.
Xi Yao blushed even more.
Jiang Ming slightly frowned upon sensing that something had gone wrong. He felt that the Five Elemental Linglong’s character had deviated from the main body. He was wondering if their thoughts were not synchronized, and the Five Elemental Linglong started to have hints of distinctive character.
After Xi Yao and the Five Elemental Linglong frolicked for a while, Xi Yao sat down and said while seriously looking at Jiang Ming, “I’ve received some news that might be useful for you all.”
“Go on.” Jiang Ming scanned through Xi Yao, particularly at her chest. That glimpse made his heart skip a beat, and he immediately shifted his focus back to staring at his book.
“I’s regarding the matter whereby the Jiuyang Sect is being targeted. Someone is instigating the whole thing, but they’re difficult to pinpoint. The news about the Jiuyang Sect harboring a member of the Yinmo Sect hiding is spreading out very fast too. Almost all experts whose families were almost
destroyed and whose sects were wiped out know about it. And the other few teams of the Fo Sect learned about it almost simultaneously.” Xi Yao said. She was more informed than Chang Yiming.
“The Riyue Sect’s ability to collect information is indeed very good,” Jiang Ming said.
“I’s a Sacred Land, after all.” Xi Yao poured herself a cup of tea before she continued. “Now, with Eastern Region greatly affected, many forces in Zhong Province want to take this opportunity to reap some benefits. In fact, many forces from the Zhong Province are somewhat involved, and of course, the
Qingyun Sect has also secretly stepped in. Therefore, it naturally further worsened the situation.”
Jiang Ming nodded as he had expected.
Xi Yao was bizarre seeing Jiang Ming could remain calm. She added, “The 18th Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty is back, openly, leading a team. I speculate that he’s got two objectives. First, it’s to develop his influence, and second, it’s to aim at the Jiuyang Sect. After all, he lost his face the last time he
came.”
“The 18th Prince?” Jiang Ming closed his book and continued. “Isn’t it better to live? Why is he fretting over trifles?”
Xi Yao felt a chill run down her spine, and she reminded Jiang Ming, “That’s the 18th Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Once he is killed, you’ll be bound to be crushed by the imperial dynasty.”
Jiang Ming smiled and paid no more attention.
In Taiyang’s great hall.
“Gentlemen, we’re now facing enemies’ attack. They said we’re hiding the Yinmo Sect’s remnants and that we’re the seed that the Yinmo Sect has left. All forces of various scales in Qing Province are here. More experts from other provinces are joining them to crusade against us too. What do you think we
can do to solve it?” Sect Master Yan Yan threw everyone present the critical question.
“Something is very wrong. We’ve already been leading Qing Province and have many clans and forces depending on us. The last time when we were being targeted, many of them were still with us, but why are they now against us? The weirdest thing is that none of them ever notified us secretly. Even if
they are threatened to go against us, they should at least notify us to leave a way out for themselves, right? Therefore, something’s obviously wrong. It’s as though they are facing some irresistible force or they are being manipulated,” Chuyang Peak’s First Seat Zhang Ren said.
“Whether this is a plot, they are facing some irresistible force, or they are being manipulated, whatever it is, it’s not important. The most important thing is that we can utilize such a chance to clean up alll the trash in Qing Province. So from now onward, we’ll be the only dominant force in Qing Province,”
Lieyang Peak’s First Seat Dongfang Lie said aggressively.
“But have you ever thought that our enemies are not made out of forces within Qing Province only? There are also experts from the six teams of the Fo Sect, other provinces, and even the Qingyun Sect. How can we defend ourselves? If we aren’t careful enough, welll face the danger of our sect being
destroyed,” Zhang Ren rebutted.
Laoyang Peak’s First Seat Chang Ming also voiced his thoughts as he was clutching his gourd. “What if a few Primal Spirit experts are launching their attacks simultaneously? What if experts stronger than Primal Spirit Realms secretly attack us?”
This was truly a serious matter.
They were not afraid if the attackers were from within Qing Province. But who could stay carefree when they now had to confront the entire Eastern Region?
Both First Seat Yin Yue and First Seat Gu Hai remained sitting quietly.
They had returned a long time ago and lived in a city built within the sect’s estate. They had come over because of the Sect Master’s summon.
The Sect Master took a glimpse at Gu Hai before he spoke. “I will kill any Primal Spirit expert who steps into our sect, and I can also trap and kill the Paradis experts. Thus, don’t worry!”
The few First Seats startled listening to the Sect Master’s words.
“Sect Master, why do you say so?” Zhang Ren asked.
“Senior Brother Zhang, this is a secret,” Sect Master replied with a smile.
“In this case, I’m relieved. Since we’re able to resist Paradis experts, what else are we afraid of? Let’s spread the word about Yue Cheng as a spy, and it’s up to them to believe it or not. Then, we shall also declare that whoever steps 100 miles into our estate is declaring war against us, and we will take action
to defend ourselves. We can take this opportunity to clean up Qing Province and expand while the entire Eastern Region is still weak.” Zhang Ren said with his eyes gleaming.
“Lagree!” Dongfang Lie nodded. He then frowned as he asked, “Sect Master, are you sure you can kill Paradis experts? This is because both the Fo Sect and Qingyun Sect do have Paradis experts.”
The Sect Master only nodded in reply.
“Then we shall first treat them politely by telling them that we’ve just learned about Yue Cheng’s background. If they don’t believe it and trespass our estate, hehe, they’ll have given us a good reason for bloodshed. No, it’s not bloodshed but cleaning the unclean in Qing Province.” Dongfang Lie smirked.
Everyone present nodded in agreement.
Then they paced away because the meeting was dissolved. Only Gu Hai alone was asked to stay back.
“”Tve refined the Life and Death Disillusionment Formation Disk and merged it into the sect’s great formation. I think with its terrifying might, it could trap a Paradis expert.” The Sect Master no longer was as confident as he was earlier. Instead, he asked worryingly, “But what if there are a few Paradis
experts or Extreme Path experts? Please let me know if they could block them?” He pointed at Chuyang Peak as he said his last sentence.
When he had gotten the Life and Death Disillusionment Formation Disk and learned that all men, including Hui Xin, who were besieging the sect, were all killed, he only understood that Zi Linglong had a mighty expert of at least Extreme Path Realm protecting her.
Otherwise, how could that mighty expert kill a Fo Paradis expert?
“provided Qingyun’s men don’t come over, you don’t have to worry,” Gu Hai replied after a slight hesitation.
“Old Gu, why don’t you go to confirm again? This is related to our sect’s survival, after all.”
“alright.”
The Sect Master sighed as he saw Gu Hai off.
“Damn it! I really don’t understand this world anymore. First, it was Eastern Region’s disaster, then the Yinmo Sect, etc., were all wiped out in one night. Following that, it was the Jiuyang Sect’s turn, but it was solved over a night. I thought that’s it, but here comes another big group of crusaders. F*cking
bastards!” The Sect Master scratched his head in annoyance..
