Chapter 1734: Chapter 1424: Rumors Between Camps

Currently, it’s a critical period. If we deal hastily with a sect without any evidence, it will surely cause concern among the other affiliated sects.

By then, these sects will definitely think that they risked their lives for the Mysterious Moon Palace, only for the palace to destroy them on a whim without any evidence.

Such actions will surely be hard to convince the masses.

Hearing Weixue Immortal Monarch’s words, Lu Chen pondered for a moment. He naturally understood what Weixue Immortal Monarch was worried about.

Lu Chen then suggested, “How about I go to his encampment and test him? As I am the direct disciple of the Xuan Yue, capturing me would be a great achievement for him.”

Weixue Immortal Monarch immediately replied, “No!”

“Since you know you’re the direct disciple of the Hall Master, your safety is even more important. Don’t get involved in this matter; I will find a way.”

Weixue Immortal Monarch didn’t doubt Lu Chen’s words too much. She had already sensed something was off with the Baiman Sect, but Lu Chen merely pointed out that Baiman Sect was the traitor.

What is most crucial now is finding evidence of Baiman Sect betraying the Mysterious Moon Palace. The palace plans to launch a full-scale attack on the Jade Dragon Sect in a few days. If the traitor is not dealt with, they might stab us in the back, and the palace could find itself besieged on all sides.

Seeing Weixue Immortal Monarch say this, Lu Chen didn’t say more. After all, he had already reminded Weixue Immortal Monarch, and he believed she would know what to do.

Ling Yin Immortal King would not have tasked Weixue Immortal Monarch with overseeing this campaign if she wasn’t capable; Lu Chen trusted Ling Yin Immortal King’s choice.

A day later.

A burly man with fiery red hair arrived at the encampment of the Artifact Refining Pavilion to collect Immortal Artifacts. While the disciples of the Artifact Refining Pavilion were checking the artifacts, he waited by the side, overhearing the disciples’ discussions.

“Didn’t expect the Baiman Sect to be this formidable!”

“Indeed, it’s said that only three people from Baiman Sect died in this war, and I heard those three died because they accidentally triggered formations.”

“Compared to Baiman Sect, other sects have suffered far more casualties.”

“Baiman Sect is truly strong.”

“Next time I find a couple, I must choose someone from Baiman Sect!”

“Baiman Sect people are always the most eager to collect Immortal Artifacts, so of course we’re giving priority to them. How can they not be strong?”

…

Upon hearing these discussions, the red-haired man’s brows furrowed deeply.

The people behind might not know, but as someone on the front lines, how could he not be aware of Baiman Sect’s situation? Since the start of this war, Baiman Sect has been making half-hearted efforts; he hasn’t seen them disrupt even a few of the formations of the Jade Dragon Sect.

Now people from the Mysterious Moon Palace actually say Baiman Sect is the strongest among their affiliated sects. Of course, the most unbearable part is that the Mysterious Moon Palace prioritized providing Immortal Artifacts to Baiman Sect, and they only lost three people?

The Xuan Fox Sect has lost nearly ten thousand disciples, and Baiman Sect only lost three people?

This stark contrast left the Xuan Fox Sect Master deeply displeased. He didn’t even bother to collect the Immortal Artifacts and directly flew towards the Wind Control Hall in the sky.

Upon arriving at the grand hall, the Xuan Fox Immortal Monarch sent a voice transmission, “Weixue Immortal Monarch, I have something to ask you.”

The next moment, Weixue Immortal Monarch’s voice came, “Come in.”

Immediately after, the Xuan Fox Immortal Monarch entered the grand hall, where Weixue Immortal Monarch, with a puzzled expression, asked, “What happened?”

The Xuan Fox Immortal Monarch gave a cold snort and then said, “I heard that the Mysterious Moon Palace’s Immortal Artifacts are prioritized for the Baiman Sect people?”

Weixue Immortal Monarch was momentarily stunned and then replied, “Prioritized for them? Who said that? Aren’t those Immortal Artifacts distributed to whoever comes to claim them first? Moreover, each sect receives a fixed quota of Immortal Artifacts.”

The Xuan Fox Immortal Monarch displeasedly said, “This is even more unfair. Why does a sect like Baiman Sect, which does not put in effort, get so many Immortal Artifacts?”

“I just heard from a disciple of the Artifact Refining Pavilion that Baiman Sect has only lost three people so far. You must know our Xuan Fox Sect lost over a thousand people just triggering a formation. If Baiman Sect really put in effort, how could they only lose this few?”

Seeing the aggrieved look on the Xuan Fox Immortal Monarch’s face, Weixue Immortal Monarch furrowed her brows slightly and said seriously, “Xuan Fox, though you are my couple, you mustn’t speak carelessly without evidence, especially during such a critical time. How do you know they haven’t put in effort?”

Upon hearing this, the Xuan Fox Immortal Monarch calmed down a bit and said, “I am right at the front line. Of course, I know whether Baiman Sect put in effort or not. Even if they exerted a little more effort, they couldn’t have lost so few. You must know, our Xuan Fox Sect lost over ten thousand disciples and several Outer Sect Elders.”

Weixue Immortal Monarch fell into contemplation, and the Xuan Fox Immortal Monarch continued, “Weixue, this campaign against the Jade Dragon Sect is under your command. As your couple, I should indeed fully support you, but you cannot let such slackers mingle among us, take the benefits, and do no work.”

Weixue Immortal Monarch said, “I understand, I will investigate this. If other sect masters also report this matter to me, during the full-scale attack, I will assign Baiman Sect as the vanguard.”

Hearing Weixue Immortal Monarch’s words, the Xuan Fox Immortal Monarch was secretly pleased and said, “I understand!”

“I’ll go collect the Immortal Artifacts now, so I won’t disturb you further.”

After saying this, the Xuan Fox Immortal Monarch turned around and left. Watching his departing figure, Weixue Immortal Monarch’s mouth curled up slightly. Just as she thought, her couple could not stand to be left out.

When the Mysterious Moon Palace initiated this war, the Xuan Fox Sect was the first to respond, especially because the Xuan Fox Immortal Monarch is the couple of Weixue Immortal Monarch, and she wanted to perform well in front of him.

But now, seeing Baiman Sect’s small casualties, the palace disciples mistakenly thought Baiman Sect was so powerful, which made it unbearable for the Xuan Fox Immortal Monarch.

Returning with the Immortal Artifacts, the Xuan Fox Immortal Monarch vented his frustrations to other sects’ Immortal Monarchs, and they also heard the rumors about Baiman Sect’s minimal casualties.

Soon, the affiliated sects of the Mysterious Moon Palace all became very dissatisfied with Baiman Sect. In the same war, their sects had lost thousands, even tens of thousands of disciples, yet Baiman Sect only lost a few?

Soon after, the Xuan Fox Immortal Monarch led a group of Immortal Monarchs to the Wind Control Hall, seeking justice from Weixue Immortal Monarch.

Inside the Wind Control Hall, the sect masters of the affiliated sects were all furious.

Seeing this scene, Weixue Immortal Monarch knew it was about time and said, “I’ve heard about the situation. I’ll summon the Baiman Sect Master to the Wind Control Hall.”

After saying this, Weixue Immortal Monarch sent a message to Baiman Immortal Monarch.

Upon receiving Weixue Immortal Monarch’s message, Baiman Immortal Monarch sensed something was amiss. He didn’t think he was exposed, but he had heard some of the rumors spreading between the camps recently.

While other sects lost so many, Baiman Sect only lost a few. Such rumors spreading would surely upset those sects.
