"The Sect dispatched Senior Brother Lin Ya to Starfall City? I didn’t read it wrong, did I!"
"What is the Task Hall thinking? Do they want to see rivers of blood or are they trying to send Senior Brother Lin Ya to his death?"
All disciples of the Cyan Origin Sect were stunned after seeing this information.
What kind of place is Starfall City?
It’s the city of black industries! One of the few Lands of Chaos tacitly permitted by the Cyan Origin Sect, and also one of the biggest black market hubs in the Qingtian Realm!
The black industries there generate enormous wealth every year!
But the Sect has always turned a blind eye to its existence all these years because the massive wealth generated mostly ends up lining the pockets of those in the Cyan Origin Sect!
The real backing behind Starfall City is none other than the Cyan Origin Sect!
Historically, when the Cyan Origin Sect dispatched Guardian Envoys to these cities, they would typically use various ans to place their own people there or dispatch more tactful Guardian Envoys to avoid conflicts with the local black industry leaders.
After all, so disciples of the Cyan Origin Sect have a rather fiery temperant. When the emperor is far away, it’s all well and good, but if black industries were operated right under their noses, conflicts would be unavoidable!
Speaking of fiery temperants, who in the Cyan Origin Sect nowadays can match Qingtian, who shut the Three Major Sects out?
Besides, Qingtian not only has a fiery temperant but also fierce strength.
A few months ago, that battle of Qingtian in Lingxiao City, still fresh in people’s mories—he tore six Foundation Establishnt Perfection experts apart barehanded!
And now, Qingtian has been in seclusion in the Cultivation Technique Pavilion for over three months, rumored to have read countless books!
Given Qingtian’s already superb Magic skills, who knows if his power will advance further with the knowledge acquired from the Cyan Origin Sect’s Cultivation Technique Pavilion!
Putting such a fierce and aggressive person there, who knows what will happen!
Anyway, between Qingtian and Starfall City, one of them is bound to die!
From the current situation, it’s most likely soone wants to use the knife behind Starfall City to kill Qingtian!
While at it, slaughter his close associates Han Li and Zhang Daniu as a warning to others!
Those disciples of the Cyan Origin Sect who considered this shivered involuntarily, thinking even a strong figure like Lin Ya couldn’t escape the Three Major Sects’ reckoning?
...
"Brother Han, Brother Zhang, what do you think about this?"
At this mont, inside the Seventh Immortal Mansion of the inner sect, Qingtian looked at Han Li and Zhang Daniu, who sat across from him with sowhat grim expressions.
"I think soone from those Three Major Sects is targeting Senior Brother Ya, everyone knows places like Starfall City can’t be ssed with, ddling ans death!"
Zhang Daniu was also fuming inside, as both he and Senior Brother Ya were targeted this ti! He couldn’t believe the higher-ups had gone so utterly mad!
A prodigy like Senior Brother Lin Ya, who was evaluated as a mainstay by the Heart-Questioning Mirror, had displayed terrifying battle prowess and potential in the last battle, treating fellow sect brothers amiably and generously sharing cultivation experiences. For instance, his strength advanced a notch thanks to Qingtian’s guidance.
Yet, is it really necessary to kill a cornerstone like this to feel satisfied?
Moreover, what are those sect authorities outside of the Three Major Sects doing? It’s one thing for ordinary disciples to compromise, but isn’t soone like Senior Brother Ya worth stepping forward to protect a bit?
"I also think we are being targeted, most positions in the Task Hall are controlled by the Three Major Sects. On the surface, they can’t trouble Senior Brother Ya, but using the Sect’s mandatory tasks to kill him by proxy is their style, and behind Starfall City stand the personal disciples, even Elders, resulting in potential conflicts of interest between them..."
"Therefore, this is likely a ’drive the tiger to swallow the wolf’ strategy; given Senior Brother Ya’s way of doing things, conflict is bound to happen in Starfall City. By then, it will inevitably attract those behind the scenes, and no matter who wins the conflict, it’s beneficial for them..."
"But we have to execute mandatory sect tasks; if we don’t go, we can directly be accused of violating sect rules!"
"And bringing Junior Brother Zhang and along seems to be a way to increase the likelihood and intensity of conflicts given our good relationship, their intentions are sinister..."
Compared to Zhang Daniu’s anger, Han Li calmly narrated the entire situation’s ins and outs and the underlying interest conflicts and causes, quickly clarifying the whole story.
And hearing Han Li’s analysis, Qingtian also instantly sorted out the situation!
Regarding understanding of the Sect, Han Li indeed has deeper insights.
"I’m sorry you’re implicated because of !" Qingtian looked at Han Li and Zhang Daniu with so guilt.
Of the two, Zhang Daniu being targeted was understandable to Qingtian because of Zhang Daniu’s direct nature, which could offend so people.
But Han Li, with outstanding strength but always knowing how to protect himself well, wouldn’t be on the radar of those Three Major Sects if it weren’t for him, and now he was purely dragged in by him.
"Senior Brother Ya, don’t say that! I truly admire you, and I’m willing to take responsibility for my actions, so there’s no question of being implicated!"
"Yes, Senior Brother Ya, you absolutely shouldn’t think that way; we have no regrets in today’s matter and naturally have the courage to bear all consequences!"
As he said this, Han Li looked resolutely at Qingtian.
The death of the brother who had once saved him in danger was the regret of his life; seeing soone so similar to him appear, he certainly couldn’t sit back and watch Qingtian walk to his death.
All the ensuing consequences were anticipated by him, and he was prepared to handle all arising issues.
And seeing the resolute gazes of the two, Qingtian suddenly revealed a hint of a smile on his face.
At this mont, he made a decision in his heart: in that case, why not clash early with the hidden hands behind?
"I wonder if I unleash my full strength now, could I possibly slaughter a Golden Core? If the final conflict coincides with the successful setup of the Yin Yang Heaven Extinction Array, that would be perfect..."
The powerful Array, the overwhelming number of Wind Blade Bees, and the strength of his clone are all Qingtian’s current confidence.
Being successful would an attaining wealth of 300,000 Contribution Points, soaring to the top within the Cyan Origin Sect!
If failed, at most, he would lose a Tree-man Avatar.
But no matter what, the original loss he would absolutely reclaim!
Qingtian would also think of a thorough escape route for Han Li and Zhang Daniu, even if it ant temporarily leaving the Qingtian Realm...
...
anwhile, when news of Lin Ya from the Cyan Origin Sect being appointed as the Starfall City Guardian Envoy reached Starfall City, the entire Starfall City seed to fall silent for a mont!
"What did you say? Lin Ya from the Cyan Origin Sect will be the Starfall City Guardian Envoy!?"
"Are you talking about that Lin Ya, who wreaked havoc in Lingxiao City a few months ago!?"
Boisterous roars of disbelief suddenly erupted at that mont!
