Itinerant Immortal Hong Ling looked puzzled. What was the use of pushing the matter of plundering female cultivators to the True Treasure Pavilion? In the cultivation world, strength was the foundation. If not for the fact that she was afraid of Heavenly Immortals and a greater background, she would have long killed the master behind the True Treasure Pavilion. She would not have had such a headache.
The Sect Master of the Tai Hua Sect explained, “Elder Hong Ling, we can’t deal with the True Treasure Pavilion on the surface now. Even if we secretly send a Tribulation Transcendence elder, it won’t be of any use. However, the True Treasure Pavilion can’t do anything to us unless they’re really willing to fall out with our Tai Hua Sect. Therefore, the most important thing now is to let the other party have no time to continue entangled in this matter. If we push the blame to the other party, we can use the commotion to completely muddy this matter.
“This way, even if the True Treasure Pavilion really produces evidence in the end, the human cultivators in the Western District will think that the True Treasure Pavilion and my Tai Hua Sect are competing for reputation, and not the True Treasure Pavilion standing up for those female cultivators. It won’t be a big loss to my Tai Hua Sect.”
Itinerant Immortal Hong Ling immediately understood. To put it bluntly, the sect master’s meaning was to argue back and forth, making things deviate from their original nature. This way, many cultivators would not pay attention to female cultivators. Even if they did, they would feel that there was a deeper scheme behind this matter.
Originally, most cultivators were selfish. Once they had such thoughts, they would not care about those female cultivators.
“Let’s do this. It’s a pity for Elder Wu.” She agreed.
The Sect Master smiled and said, “Elder Wu didn’t die in vain. After all, a Mahayana Realm cultivator died in our Tai Hua Sect. This is real evidence.”
Hong Ling praised, “Not bad. I didn’t expect you to be quite talented in such matters.”
Half a month later, the news that the True Treasure Pavilion had wantonly plundered female cultivators and used this to exchange for resources with the Myriad Bone Demon Sect spread throughout the remaining cities of the Western District and the hundred-odd cities under the jurisdiction of the True Treasure Pavilion. Moreover, it quickly caused an uproar.
Many sects where female cultivators were plundered stood up and criticized the True Treasure Pavilion, wanting to seek justice. Many unreasonable cultivators also cursed in secret. Even the Void Refinement and Body Integration guest of the True Treasure Pavilion could not help but go to the City Lord Manor to ask for the truth.
Gray Stone City.
In the pavilion in the City Lord Residence.
“Father, are the rumors outside true? Are the resources of our Treasure Pavilion exchanged with the bodies of those female cultivators?”
His children could not help but ask.
Yu Yan frowned and berated them.
Shen Ping smiled and waved his hand. “There’s no need to blame them. Children are inexperienced and don’t understand logic. It’s normal for them to be easily affected.” As he spoke, he looked at the fifth son, Shen Yan, who asked, “Yan’er, do you think the True Treasure Pavilion did this?”
Shen Yan hesitated and said, “I stayed in the main pavilion for a while and also followed the merchant group to Black Fiend Valley. On the way, I saw and heard that many cultivators were extremely respectful to the True Treasure Pavilion. Moreover, Father had taught us many times not to rely on the True Treasure Pavilion to do evil and bully others. Therefore, I feel that this matter was not done by the True Treasure Pavilion. However, many cultivators said that the Tai Hua Sect is the number one sect in the Western District and has prestige. They won’t lie about such things. That’s why I asked.”
Shen Ping was very satisfied with his son’s answer. As the saying goes, three people make a tiger. Even a Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation cultivator who had experienced many hardships would be affected, let alone Shen Yan, who had not experienced much. He said patiently, “Yan’er, do you know what resources were exchanged by plundering female cultivators for?”
Shen Yan was stunned and shook his head. The other children also shook their heads.
“It’s the resources needed for Itinerant Immortals. These resources can only be obtained by the demons, and the Myriad Bones Demon Sect is a hidden sect of the demons in the Western District.”
Shen Yan widened his eyes and quickly understood. “In that case, Tai Hua Sect’s Itinerant Immortals need such resources the most?”
“Yes. Itinerant Immortals are also humans. They also have seven emotions and six desires. In the True Treasure Pavilion, including all the transaction records, there are no resources like the Yin Essence Flower.” After teaching his children, Shen Ping came to Luo Xia Peak to discuss this matter with Yue Lingluo. “I didn’t expect the Tai Hua Sect to use such a despicable move.”
Yue Lingluo frowned and said, “They just want to stir up this matter so that our True Treasure Pavilion can take care of ourselves and not pursue the matter of the female cultivator. Husband, what do you plan to do?”
Shen Ping smiled and said, “Simple. Just resolve the essence of the matter. Since the Myriad Bones Demon Sect needs female cultivators, destroy the Myriad Bones Demon Sect and another Demon Sect so that the Itinerant Immortals of the Tai Hua Sect and the Penglai Immortal City have no way to trade. They will naturally be anxious.”
In fact, it would be easier to destroy the Itinerant Immortals in Penglai Immortal City. However, he did not have the strength now. At the very least, he was not confident in facing a Tenth Tribulation Itinerant Immortal.
“Husband, the Myriad Bones Demon Sect has three Itinerant Immortals. Furthermore, their sect’s location is extremely secretive. I’m afraid it’s very difficult to find them.” Yue Lingluo reminded him.
Shen Ping said casually, “That depends on whether those people from the Yue Hua Sect want to live or not.”
Yue Lingluo couldn’t help but laugh. Then, she asked, “How should we deal with the rumors?”
“Just announce the truth. It doesn’t matter if the other cultivators believe it or not. I didn’t do this to obtain the recognition of the other cultivators of the True Treasure Pavilion. I purely want to resolve this matter.”
“I understand.”
In the depths of an underground cave tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Bone Mound, two figures slowly appeared. It was Elder Huang, who was in charge of the transaction in Yue Hua Sect and Shen Ping..
