Chapter 415

"Inside Suxin Sect, Yan Qiansong listened to the report from below."

"His face immediately flushed with anger, and he smashed his beloved thousand-year-old inkstone."

"Over thirty immortals were dispatched outside their sect."

"They were supposed to be keeping the Tiandi Pavilion people at bay."

"But now, there was no trace of them—alive or dead."

"A tremendous humiliation! A tremendous humiliation!"

"Yan Qiansong roared, 'What have you all been doing?'"

"If word of this gets out, our Suxin Sect will be the laughingstock of the world!"

"The Grand Elder, Ren Jialu, showed a hesitant expression and quietly said, 'Sect Master, at that time, almost all of our immortals above the Heavenly Immortal realm were inside the secret formation, repairing the Sky Prison Mountains and Rivers Map.'"

"Therefore, the number of immortals we could deploy was limited."

"This is how Tiandi Pavilion took advantage of the situation."

"Upon hearing this, Yan Qiansong’s expression softened slightly."

"He also knew that the Sky Prison Mountains and Rivers Map was the sect’s most important task."

"Thus, the insufficient precautions were inevitable."

"But where did the immortals of the sect go?"

"Even if they were all killed, there should be bodies left behind."

"They couldn’t have taken the corpses with them, could they?"

"But what is the point of all this?"

"Seeing Yan Qiansong's shifting emotions, Grand Elder Ren Jialu spoke softly, 'Sect Master, there’s no need to be too angry.'"

"Currently, the Sky Prison Mountains and Rivers Map is about to be completed."

"When it is finished, it will be the day Tiandi Pavilion is destroyed."

"However, there’s something I would like to point out."

"People outside are spreading rumors that you are fighting with Tiandi Pavilion because you like Fairy Zhong Qin."

"If this kind of gossip spreads, it will cause discontent among the immortals."

"Therefore, I dare to ask you to clarify this matter!"

"After saying this, Ren Jialu immediately kneeled down."

"In the Heavenly Realm, there are no walls that don’t have leaks."

"Moreover, that book 'The Grudge Record of the Southern Heavenly Realm' is selling like crazy."

"The book’s popularity has even swept across the entire Heavenly Realm."

"After all, the premise is too enticing."

"Two sect masters fighting just to win the favor of a beauty."

"It’s practically the female version of a heroic tale."

"Most immortals, especially the female ones, love it."

"And they’ve begun to fantasize about whether one day, an immortal sect master would fight for them."

"Of course, this possibility is almost zero."

"But that doesn’t stop people from wishing."

"In such a case."

"Even if the book isn’t sold in the Southern Heavenly Realm, it will definitely be brought in from other places."

"Over time, everyone will naturally figure it out."

"But now, there are already voices of dissent within Suxin Sect."

"All the immortals of the Heavenly Realm should understand—if you say you are fighting for the honor of the sect, then we have no hesitation in joining you."

"We’ll risk our lives and shed blood, all for a single word."

"But if it’s to chase after a fairy?"

"Then if we die in battle, it would be too much of a loss."

"The reason is simple—our hearts won’t be in it!"

"Although Grand Elder Ren Jialu didn’t believe that Sect Master Yan Qiansong would go to such lengths for a fairy,"

"Some matters had to be clarified, so he felt it was his duty to speak up."

"Only then could they quickly regain the support of the immortals!"

"Yan Qiansong turned slightly and spoke in a deep voice: 'Clarify? Why should I clarify?'"

"'It’s not a rumor. I truly like Zhong Qin.'"

"‘As for Shen Biyan,’"

"‘What is he to me?’"

"‘He’s only using his so-called affection for Fairy Zhong Qin to achieve his own goals.’"

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.

"‘I will make the whole Heavenly Realm see that only I am worthy of Fairy Zhong Qin!’"

"As Yan Qiansong spoke, his gaze grew intoxicated."

"Grand Elder Ren Jialu’s face turned pale, and he slowly closed his eyes."

"Suxin Sect is finished!"

"Regardless of whether we win or lose this battle, the hearts of the people will scatter."

"Sect Master, how did it come to this?"

"Three days later, Tiandi Pavilion officially declared war on Suxin Sect."

"This move attracted the attention of countless immortals."

"They were all curious about who would ultimately come out victorious in this battle."

"Meanwhile, Ye Yu, inside Tiandi Pavilion, also began to get excited."

"Finally, the day had come."

"And most importantly, during this period of time,"

"Zhong Qin had not come looking for him."

"Sect Master Shen Biyan also hadn’t asked to meet him."

"Everything was as calm as water."

"This was great news."

"As long as no one noticed, Ye Yu could collect the corpses freely."

"With this opportunity, rising to power was no longer just a dream!"

"But what confused him was."

"Ji Lingqing’s state seemed a bit off recently."

"He often drank alone, looking gloomy."

"He no longer had his usual carefree, childish demeanor."

"It made Ye Yu feel quite uncomfortable."

"How could he change so suddenly?"

"Now, as the immortals of Tiandi Pavilion prepared to march,"

"All the immortals gathered in front of the great hall."

"Waiting for Sect Master Shen Biyan to speak."

"During this brief pause,"

"Ye Yu quietly asked Ji Lingqing, 'What’s wrong with you? Did Elder Zhong Qin say something to you that day?'"

"Ji Lingqing answered evasively, 'I’m under a lot of pressure. After being away for so many years, I really miss them.'"

"But their expectations of me are too high. I can’t meet them. I really can’t!'"

"This nonsensical rambling,"

"Made Ye Yu’s expression turn quite strange."

"Who are they?"

"What can’t you do?"

"This mental state is completely off."

"Ye Yu frowned slightly and once again transmitted his voice, 'Quit with the depressing talk.'"

"‘We can drink anytime, but don’t go around talking like you want to die.’"

"‘Otherwise, I’ll break your third leg right now and give you a good reason to stay within the sect. At least it’ll be safe.’"

"Even the most miserable of men will {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} subconsciously care about their brother’s safety."

"This right here is a perfect example."

"Ji Lingqing’s eyes instantly became clear, and he subconsciously took a half-step back."

"Shaking his head at Ye Yu."

"‘Don’t come near me!’"

"At that moment, Sect Master Shen Biyan walked out from the great hall."

"Behind him followed seven elders from Tiandi Pavilion."

"But surprisingly, Ye Yu didn’t see Zhong Qin."

"Logically speaking, she, as an elder, should have appeared at such an important occasion."

"Where did she go now?"

"Ye Yu was puzzled."

"But he didn’t dwell on it."

"After all, Zhong Qin was always elusive."

"Maybe she had gone to scout Suxin Sect ahead of time."

"Then, Sect Master Shen Biyan spoke at length."

"The general message was that Suxin Sect had gone too far, slaughtering Tiandi Pavilion immortals."

"They even destroyed their bodies."

"This revenge cannot be left unavenged!"

"Today, we will attack Suxin Sect and avenge our fallen friends!"

"To be fair, when Sect Master Shen Biyan spoke these words, there was a certain level of charisma to them."

"But after he finished speaking, as he was about to leave,"

"Sect Master Shen Biyan suddenly looked at Ye Yu."
