"Palace Master, Sect Master Zheng... it can’t be that he’s gone mad, right?"
In the elegant and simple palace, Gu Chenxi looked at the recent intelligence about Sect Master Zheng, his expression grave.
The reason being, Sect Master Zheng had taken over a dozen Immortals from the Wandao Sect to visit half of the Human Clan’s sects and families. Wherever they went, they would certainly take action. In a short ti, more Immortals had died at the hands of the Wandao Sect than had fallen at the Two Realms Pass in nearly a hundred years.
Although so speculated that these Immortals might be Possessors from the Upper Realm or hidden Demon Cultivators, clues were hard to track, and the Wandao Sect hadn’t explained the matter.
As a result, the entire Human Clan was sowhat anxious.
Especially the second-grade forces, fearing that the Wandao Sect would co knocking at their door any mont.
"Palace Master," Gu Chenxi said hesitantly, "many have already approached our Qingmiao Palace. I think besides us, the other three sects and Seven Schools have also been approached, hoping to curb the Wandao Sect..."
"If the old master truly had gone mad, none of these forces from top to bottom would survive." ’Xiao Yinruo’ raised a hand: "Sect Master Zheng knows what he’s doing, no need to pay attention."
"But at this stage..." Gu Chenxi hesitated before continuing: "It’s equivalent to weakening the entire strength of the Human Clan, the Two Realms Pass and the Upper Realm..."
"Before he left the Chang’an Domain, didn’t he first take a trip to the Path of Descent?" ’Xiao Yinruo’ said faintly: "He invited the Family Head of the Wei Family from Hidden Life Mountain for negotiations and directly killed him in front of everyone... Hidden Life Mountain is now busy vying for the benefits left vacant by the death of the Family Head of the Wei Family and won’t engage in major conflicts for the ti being.
As for the Two Realms Pass, haha... Sect Master Zheng made such a big splash; even if the Demon Clan wanted to provoke him at this ti, they would have to weigh their decisions."
She glanced at Gu Chenxi: "As for the second-grade forces... only those with a guilty conscience would be anxious."
Saying this, ’Xiao Yinruo’ casually tossed a piece of intelligence onto the table: "Because of Sect Master Zheng’s actions, many forces originally rushing in have hurriedly left, making things a lot easier for us...
Didn’t you send spies to investigate? What’s the current situation of the Eastern Dynasty?"
Now the border of the Eastern Dynasty was in shambles, with Qingmiao Palace blocking other forces from entering while sending their own disciples to break through and gather first-hand intelligence.
"Emperor Jia Ning of the Eastern Dynasty passed away in early April. The inheritor of the Imperial Throne, Emperor Chengtian Dongfang Xinghe, was killed in a decisive battle with King Qin Dongfang Xinglan. Now the north of the dynasty is in turmoil...
It’s strange though; even though Emperor Chengtian has ten sons, none took the opportunity to beco emperor."
Gu Chenxi spoke slowly: "After all, becoming emperor and then surrendering still offers a bit more hope of survival. In the end, it’s a family matter of the Dongfang Family, not a rebellion to overthrow the Eastern Dynasty by other families."
"Minor details, no need to pay attention to them."
"Mm..." Gu Chenxi nodded: "Currently, the Imperial City of the Eastern Dynasty is controlled by Empress of Emperor Chengtian who reportedly swore never to surrender. She continues to organize troops to resist the advancing Qin Army, and quite a few people are listening to her.
It’s ironic; despite occupying such a good territory, this dynasty is terrifyingly backward. When disciples asked, people in the dynasty didn’t know the heavenly palaces above nor what year it was... it’s strange, almost as if they’re frogs at the bottom of a well, deliberately thrown in."
’Xiao Yinruo’ nodded gently, having roughly guessed what her good disciple’s plan was.
The Thirty-Six Domains of the Three Great Dynasties, vast and abundant, yet so backward. Once exposed, they’re nothing but prey.
An innocent man harbors a treasure, which becos his cri.
Sect Master Zheng’s sudden sweep with the sect’s powers likely has a stable reason behind it. However, the untapped land of the Thirty-Six Domains won’t so easily avoid covetous eyes.
Once the affairs of the Three Great Dynasties are exposed, even if Sect Master Zheng is powerful, he can’t ignore the interests of the vast majority.
Unless the dynasties have so confidence, once opened, what’s waiting for the people of the dynasties is plunder.
’Does Jin’an have a way...’
’Xiao Yinruo’ lowered her eyes slightly and pondered, when an elder hurriedly entered, speaking quickly: "Reporting to the Palace Master and Vice Palace Master, soone has broken out from Yanbei Pass, and we can’t stop them..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Chenxi spoke in surprise: "Does the dynasty have such talents?"
’Xiao Yinruo’ had a glint of amusent in her eyes: "No worries, don’t stop them."
It must either be her beloved disciple or Dongfang Xinglan who broke out, but the latter is less likely.
So it’s most likely Jin’an.
As for why Jin’an is hiding his identity, it’s likely to silence the other forces.
After all, if the other forces knew that Jin’an had long been plotting in the Eastern Dynasty, it would beco an excuse for them.
The Wandao Sect might not be afraid, but Sect Master Zheng’s life isn’t long, and if there’s no successor, it won’t be easy to suppress the other forces.
"Keep watching, recall all the disciples from the palace, and do not allow anyone to step into Yanbei Pass."
’Xiao Yinruo’ stood up and ordered: "Also, secretly monitor the disciples returning from Yanbei Pass to prevent anyone from betraying us."
After giving the instructions, she left the palace directly to find Lu Jin’an.
For her, finding her good disciple still in the Tribulation Crossing Realm wasn’t difficult, but she didn’t appear openly.
After all, the disciple she taught has now beco a secret lover with that woman Xiao Yinruo behind her back, a score she hasn’t settled yet!
