Chapter 980 - 980 36 Sen State

Chapter 980: Chapter 36 Sen State Chapter 980: Chapter 36 Sen State “Staying in Chen State doesn’t mean much to you anymore, it’s now a good opportunity to travel abroad to temper your Dao-heart and increase your foundations,”

Diwu Hall temporary imperial palace.

A disgruntled Yao Wudi, despite the fury pressing against his heart, said to Wang Ba in a solemn tone.

Wang Ba, however, wasn’t swayed by the other’s words, and instead pleaded earnestly,

“Master, don’t be angry.

This might not necessarily be the acting sect master’s own idea, after all, the elders of Taihe Palace act as a counterbalance…”

“Enough, don’t try to persuade me.

I know what’s important,”

Yao Wudi said this, but still looked as if he was grinding his teeth in anger.

Seeing Yao Wudi like this, Wang Ba couldn’t help feeling a bit helpless.

He simply plopped down next to Yao Wudi, his face also showing signs of annoyance.

...

Yao Wudi, observing Wang Ba’s expression, showed a hint of confusion,

“What are you doing?”

Wang Ba helplessly spread his hands, “Master is angry, but his disciple can’t relieve your worries, so I might as well sit here and sulk too.”

“What kind of talk is that, you…” He sighed, then said, “Well, I might as well tell you.”

Yao Wudi hesitated, but eventually let out a long sigh and continued,

“I’m not angry because Xun FuJun made things difficult for me before…”

Wang Ba was startled and perked up his ears.

He had thought that his master held a grudge over past grievances, which was why he harbored such a big issue with today’s acting sect master.

Now it seemed there might be other reasons.

And Yao Wudi did not keep him in the dark, continuing,

“During the great war with the West Sea Country, that scoundrel was obviously nearby but watched as Junior Brother Guan was killed by Monk King Xin of Xi Tuo Continent…

just to provoke me into Immortal Ascension!”

In his eyes, a mix of pain, hatred, anger, and a hint of sorrow surfaced.

“Junior Brother Guan, perhaps you don’t quite understand.

Before his death, he was the Deputy Hall Master of Tianyuan Hall, the Mountain Lord of Taiyang Mountain…

His status within the Sect was second only to those who ascended to immortality, yet that was discarded just like that!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba was utterly shocked!

So the death of Master Guan was due to this reason?

He had never met the man before, and even spent some time in reflection during his cultivation at Shenti Peak.

Yao Wudi became increasingly agitated and angry as he spoke,

“If even Junior Brother Guan ended up like this, what more for others with lower strength and realm?”

“Such a person acts without any bottom line!”

“He isn’t considering the benefit of the Sect at all.

He’s only focused on ‘the Sect’ in his own Dao-heart!”

“Worse yet, in his eyes, only ascending to immortality truly qualifies one as being part of the Sect; others are absolutely worthless!”

In his agitation, he couldn’t help but curse out loud,

“Xun FuJun is a madman!

A fucking madman!

Everyone from the Emotion Lineage is mad!”

Yao Wudi’s words heavily weighed on Wang Ba’s heart as well.

In order for his master, Yao Wudi, to ascend to immortality, Elder Xun seemed to care little about their past conflicts, even willing to sacrifice the life of a vice-hall master…

If one day, in order to further enhance his master’s cultivation, would he end up sacrificed as well?

Although such a scenario seemed unlikely, the underlying mentality behind such actions chilled Wang Ba to the bone.

After cursing for a while, Yao Wudi began to rail against the alliance with the primitive Demonic Sect,

“The Kingdom of Immortals…

heh, is the Kingdom of Immortals really that formidable that they require the primitive Demonic Sect to join hands with our Sect?”

Yao Wudi laughed bitterly out of sheer anger,

“If the primitive Demonic Sect wanted to take down the Kingdom of Immortals, they could have done so with ease.

Instead, they watched the Kingdom grow stronger.

If you say they have no countermeasures, even a dog wouldn’t believe it!

Can’t we just watch the dogs fight among themselves?

But Xun the bastard just had to intervene.

If you say it wasn’t his idea, I’ll never believe it—not in a thousand years!”

Wang Ba furrowed his brows slightly upon hearing this,

“Master, if what you say is true, then the acting sect master should still care about the Sect.

He shouldn’t do anything that would harm the Sect, right?”

“His alliance with the primitive Demonic Sect, could it be because there’s profit to be had?”

“Profit to be had?”

Yao Wudi scoffed,

“I’m afraid it’s the same old trick—trading the lives of fellow disciples for benefits!”

Wang Ba immediately fell silent.

If the acting sect master was truly as his master described, then it was not entirely impossible.

Thinking this, he couldn’t help but shake his head resignedly,

“I don’t understand…

why the Sect Master appointed Elder Xun as the acting sect master in the first place…”

“He’s gone senile!”

Yao Wudi bluntly cursed.

Wang Ba could only respond with a wry smile.

However, now that he knew the source of his master’s discontent, he seemed to grasp a direction for comfort,

“If the acting sect master truly only cares about Immortal Ascension, he is unlikely to harm Master.

You are hovering over Chen State currently, which is exactly what is needed to restrain the primitive Demonic Sect from making any moves against our Sect.”

“Maybe the elders of Taihe Palace agreed because they know of your hatred for evil, thus they consented.”

“Hmm…”

Yao Wudi, hearing Wang Ba’s words, pondered for a moment before showing a sign of agreement,

“What you’re saying does make some sense.”

Seeing his master take his advice, Wang Ba quickly seized the moment,

“Then, let this disciple stay and guard Chen State with you, and together as master and disciple, we can face any challenges…”

“No way!”

But Yao Wudi, as if struck by a sudden thought, firmly shook his head,

“You can’t stay here any longer!”

Wang Ba was taken aback and hastened to say, “It’s okay, Master.

I have the protection of the Mysterious Dragon Soldiers, and I have the White Tiger…”

Yet Yao Wudi firmly shook his head,

“No.

Absolutely not, there’s no room for discussion!

I initially thought it would be safe to have you by my side, but now it seems like Chen State might soon be no place of peace…

While things haven’t escalated, you’d better head back to the Sect…

no, it would be best to take this chance to travel around!”
