Chapter 1227 - 1227 105 Gathering in Qi_2

Chapter 1227: Chapter 105 Gathering in Qi_2 Chapter 1227: Chapter 105 Gathering in Qi_2 His heart moved slightly, and then he said,

“The Sect Master is currently negotiating with the primitive Demonic Sect…

With Gong Qianqiu seriously injured, the power of the Three Divine Emperors of the Kingdom of Immortals may already be on par with us.

Martial Nephew Sun, how do you think the primitive Demonic Sect will respond?”

The nearby Ren Xiao and the other three were somewhat puzzled as they looked toward Yan Wenzheng, not fully understanding why the great elder would consult a younger junior.

Yao Wudi, however, seemed to glimpse the beginning of an idea, recalling his clever disciple’s past experiences, and his eyes lit up.

The man in the blue Taoist robe also didn’t show any timidity.

After contemplating for a moment, he spoke up,

“Demon Sect cultivators prioritize profit above all, and cultivation and breakthroughs are the greatest profits.”

“Therefore, even if they allow the Kingdom of Immortals to grow, it still falls under these two pursuits.”

Yan Wenzheng, Ren Xiao, and the others nodded in agreement upon hearing the Taoist in blue.

Yao Wudi, puzzled, added,

“But if the Kingdom of Immortals grows strong, what benefit is that to them?”

Yan Wenzheng gave Yao Wudi a glance.

He could read his thoughts like an open book, but he also enjoyed seeing him succeed.

The Taoist in blue continued,

“We don’t need to know why, we only need to know that if the Kingdom of Immortals grows strong, the primitive Demonic Sect will benefit.

The only question is whether the growth of the Kingdom of Immortals exceeds the expectations of the primitive Demonic Sect.”

“And what if it exceeds their expectations?”

Ren Xiao asked curiously.

“If it exceeds expectations, then the primitive Demonic Sect will join forces with the Three Sects and One Clan to eliminate the Kingdom of Immortals.”

“Join forces with the Three Sects and One Clan to eliminate the Kingdom of Immortals?”

Ren Xiao and the other three were slightly stunned, then couldn’t help but shake their heads,

“That’s unlikely.

The primitive Demonic Sect is already struggling to deal with cultivators from the Three Continents, and with Gong Qianqiu injured…”

After thinking it over, he added,

“And what if it has not exceeded their expectations?”

The Taoist in blue replied calmly,

“If it hasn’t exceeded expectations, they will also join hands with Jin to eliminate the Kingdom of Immortals.”

Now not only Ren Xiao and the others, but even Yan Wenzheng and Yao Wudi were beginning to doubt,

“Why is that?”

Though his expression was indifferent, the Taoist in blue patiently explained,

“The strength of the Kingdom of Immortals has reached the limit of what Jin can tolerate.

The Three Sects and One Clan will not allow another power on the Fenglin Continent that has the potential to possess Void Refining cultivators.

That is the bottom line, and naturally, the primitive Demonic Sect is aware of this, so the elimination of the Kingdom of Immortals is inevitable.”

“Unable to prevent it and constrained by the cultivators of the Three Continents, the primitive Demonic Sect has no choice but to exploit Jin to pluck the fruits of the Kingdom of Immortals.”

However, Ren Xiao slightly frowned in disagreement,

“There are other ways.

Han Yanzi has yet to make a move since coming out of seclusion, and with his Void Refinement Realm strength, once he makes a move, the Kingdom of Immortals probably won’t last long.”

The Taoist in blue asserted firmly,

“Han Yanzi won’t act.”

Ren Xiao was taken aback and couldn’t help but ask,

“Why?”

It was then that Yan Wenzheng suddenly spoke up,

“Because he still wants to ascend through Cultivation Ascension!”

“Once he acts, unless he immediately undergoes Crossing Tribulation, he will either die, or he will have to fake death to escape!”

Ren Xiao and the other three suddenly realized.

Still, they had some doubts about the Taoist in blue’s judgment.

The Taoist in blue then suddenly said,

“Of course, there is a third possibility…

If the primitive Demonic Sect deliberately lets the Kingdom of Immortals grow, it’s because they have designs on Jin.”

“For Jin?”

Yan Wenzheng, Ren Xiao, and the others’ expressions shifted slightly.

With his eyebrows tightly knit, Yan Wenzheng seemed reluctant to believe as Ren Xiao said,

“This…

surely not?

As the cultivators from the Three Continents attack Fenglin Continent, while the clam and the crane quarrel, the fisherman gains, would the people from the primitive Demonic Sect be so unwise?”

Facing skepticism, the Taoist in blue remained composed,

“After ascending, who cares if there’s a flood?”

Everyone was taken aback.

They pondered over this statement; the more they mulled it over, the more they could sense the extreme indifference behind it.

It also precisely revealed the true nature of the Demon Sect cultivators.

“Blood Sacrifice or otherwise…

such methods are not lacking in the Demon Sect.

All are possible,”

said the Taoist in blue blandly.

Ren Xiao, coming back to his senses, shook his head slightly,

“I still find it hard to believe the primitive Demonic Sect would have such boldness.

Overall, Jin is still somewhat stronger than the primitive Demonic Sect.

To use others to kill, but it’s also possible to get hurt by the blade.”

The three Immortal Ascension Elders nodded in agreement.

A contemplative look also appeared on Yan Wenzheng’s face.

Seeing this, Yao Wudi chuckled and interjected,

“It’s just a junior’s speculation, which mustn’t be taken for truth…

Elders, please rest inside the temporary imperial palace for a while.

We can discuss further when people from the other two Sects arrive.”

This was just an interlude, but Yan Wenzheng and the others did not follow Yao Wudi’s arrangement.

Instead, they descended nearby on Yuhuang Peak, taking the opportunity to survey the surroundings.

To the east of Chen State was the old territory of Song State, but as the population had been completely moved by the Kingdom of Immortals, Jin also sealed the borders.

Nowadays, Song State had become desolate.

Despite the survey by the Spiritual Sense of the numerous Immortal Ascension cultivators, they saw nothing amiss.

Before long,

Yan Wenzheng and Ren Xiao’s expressions changed, and they looked toward the west.

Then Yao Wudi and the other three Immortal Ascension Elders also showed signs of surprise.

“The people from Youxian Temple actually arrived first.”

Someone muttered in a low voice.

A few moments after the voice fell, two figures flew over.

Yan Wenzheng, taking the lead, greeted them, with a joyful smile of reunion on his face as he laughed loudly,

“Taoist Brother Xi, after more than seven hundred years, I did not expect you to be the one to come.”

Among the two swiftly approaching figures, one of them also laughed heartily:
