Chapter 781: Chapter 771: Three Moves?
Louu Jiangyou chuckled at Jian Qianxiong, “Is it rely the triennial Divine Sacrifice? If I recall correctly, it should be the sexagenary Great Sacrifice that cos once every sixty years, right?”
“Since Elder Louu already knows, why bother asking?” Jian Qianxiong said expressionlessly.
“So things are better stated clearly! This ti, for the sexagenary Great Sacrifice, I shall preside over it!” The Supre Elder Louu Jiangyou declared defiantly.
Jian Qianxiong, who had been expressionless, suddenly reacted as if his tail had been stepped on, becoming intensely agitated.
“Impossible!”
“The main priest for the Divine Sect’s divine sacrifices, large or small, has always been undertaken by the Sect Leader, and can only be taken by the Sect Leader. Elder Louu should just focus on participating in the Divine Sacrifice, and not concern yourself with such matters!”
Hearing this, Louu Jiangyou revealed a smile full of deeper aning, “Every rule has its exception.”
“For years, the cultivation of the Sect Leader has been stuck at the Fifth Stage of the Establishnt Realm without breaking through. In my opinion, it’s due to being entangled in worldly affairs. Wouldn’t it be better if the Sect Leader secluded himself for cultivation like I did before?”
Upon hearing the word ‘seclusion’, Great Commander Jio Yuanxiu’s eyes widened, and Ye Zhen also looked surprised.
Originally, Ye Zhen was still pondering the matter of the sexagenary Great Sacrifice and ordinary sacrifices, but unexpectedly, the situation suddenly shifted into a power struggle.
Even if Ye Zhen were foolish, he could grasp the aning behind ‘seclusion’.
Moreover, from the tone, it seed that this Supre Elder Louu Jiangyou was also forced into seclusion back in the day.
Jian Qianxiong’s expression first turned bewildered, then he pointed at Louu Jiangyou and his group and laughed loudly, a laugh filled with surprise and a tinge of desperation.
“Elder Louu, what is this? Trying to seize power amidst chaos? Trying to force to abdicate?” he said, pointing to the Supre Second Elder Nian Sijing and the Supre Third Elder Cai Xingchang on the side, “What, do the three of you plan to join forces? To collectively force to abdicate?
These past years, have I ever mistreated your tributes even a little? What benefits has this Louu character promised you, worth betraying the Divine Sect at a ti of life and death? Do you not know that your actions could bring a fatal threat to the Divine Sect?”
Under Jian Qianxiong’s intense gaze, the Supre Second Elder Nian Sijing awkwardly retreated a few steps, stepping back to stand beside Nian Xinghe, while the Supre Third Elder Cai Xingchang flickered his form, blocking in front of Jio Yuanxiu, Fengh Qingyue, and others, instantly unleashing a wave of qi that pushed them back from protecting their leader.
Then, he calmly said to Jian Qianxiong, “Master Louu offered us so benefits. We, being older, were tempted, but certainly, we would never do anything to harm the foundation of the Divine Sect!
This matter is between you and Master Louu alone, the grudges from years ago, isn’t it ti to resolve them?”
However, this only concerns the grievances between the two of you!”
The final sentence from the Supre Third Elder Cai Xingchang carried a deeper aning, yet Ye Zhen understood it well. It implied that they would not assist either side, nor would they allow others to interfere in this matter.
“It seems that the Old Revered Teacher was truly wise to want to eliminate you to avoid future trouble before passing. Unfortunately, considering the bigger picture back then, you were spared!
But you are truly patient, having endured all these years. I once thought you would never act in this lifeti, yet here you are…” Jian Qianxiong shook his head and sighed.
“Humph, those lackeys of yours have been ever-present. Although their cultivation isn’t impressive, the Church Treasure in their hands is a nuisance. Hah, but finally, after years, I’ve waited until now when your loyalists are dispersed, and your defenses are weak, hah, not easy at all!” Louu Jiangyou was full of smugness.
Jian Qianxiong sneered, “As expected, you remain as selfish as ever. No wonder the Revered Teacher never chose you to inherit the Divine Sect’s leadership!”
“Bullshit, it was because you were conniving. Back then, my talent surpassed yours, my cultivation surpassed yours, my prestige surpassed yours, and that old fool was blind!” Louu Jiangyou’s deanor suddenly turned intensely agitated.
“Now it seems he was not blind at all. Truly, he had the wise eyes to see through people!” In the Sun and Moon Divine Sect’s main hall, suddenly rang out Ye Zhen’s mocking voice, “The Divine Sect is at a crucial mont of expansion, yet you seize this ti to vie for power and cause internal strife. Had the old Revered Teacher chosen you, then he truly would have been blind!”
As the voice resonated, everyone in the hall turned their gaze to Ye Zhen. Even Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong looked at Ye Zhen sowhat surprised, not expecting Ye Zhen to speak up in his defense under such circumstances.
The Vice Sect Hierarch Yao Sen and Tian Guizhang both wore shocked expressions because Ye Zhen’s words sowhat amounted to taking sides.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Zhen absolutely should not have expressed allegiance when the situation remained uncertain, but after a glance at Yua Hanjing, who was affectionately holding the arm of Supre Elder Louu Jiangyou, the two instantly understood.
And Ye Zhen, it was precisely because of this reason that he declared his stance early.
For no other reason, since Yua Hanjing appears here, it ans Ye Zhen is definitely standing on the opposite side of this Supre Elder Louu Jiangyou, even if Ye Zhen wanted to cozy up, he couldn’t.
Moreover, due to his connection with Fengh Qingyue, Ye Zhen would certainly resolutely stand behind Jian Qianxiong, aning Ye Zhen’s position was predetermined with no room for choice from the beginning.
Rather than waiting for the conflict to reach him, Ye Zhen would prefer to actively step out and test the waters. This way, if Jian Qianxiong were to win this inner conflict, then Ye Zhen would also erge as a winner in this internal strife!
Ye Zhen’s default stance was the sa as the chosen stance, but the impression it gave to Jian Qianxiong was vastly different, as Jian Qianxiong’s gaze at this mont proved everything.
Unexpectedly, Supre Elder Louu Jiangyou did not lash out at Ye Zhen, but instead stared at Ye Zhen with a sneering smile.
“Hanjing, dear heart, is this the little bastard Ye Zhen you said made it hard for you to return ho, difficult to enter the sect, and was audacious beyond compare?” Louu Jiangyou’s eyes suddenly narrowed.
Before Louu Jiangyou’s voice had died away, Yua Hanjing, looking as demure as a little bird, quickly nodded, casting a glance full of smugness at Ye Zhen.
“Damn it, old thing, you’re the little bastard, your whole family are little bastards!” Almost simultaneously, Ye Zhen pointed at Louu Jiangyou’s nose and started cursing. A string of curses left Louu Jiangyou dumbfounded, seemingly not expecting soone to dare curse him like that?
“Courting death!”
Two words squeezed out from Louu Jiangyou’s teeth, and the terrifying spirit pressure unique to an Establishnt King surged toward Ye Zhen, overwhelming like a tidal wave. At this mont, Jian Qianxiong slightly shifted his stance, blocking the oppressive power of the Establishnt King, and sneered at Louu Jiangyou, “You’re really growing more shaless with age!”
“Master, since this boy dares to insult you, let teach him a lesson on behalf of Mistress!” The young martial artist in a dark outfit who had entered with Supre Elder Louu Jiangyou stepped forward to request the task.
Seeing this young martial artist, Louu Jiangyou’s face was full of appreciation, “Lian Di, your filial piety, I will gladly accept it.”
As he spoke, Louu Jiangyou proudly said to Jian Qianxiong, “Qianxiong, how about this closed-door disciple I’ve painstakingly nurtured over the years? At only thirty-seven, he’s already broken through to the Seventh Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, inheriting all my best techniques!
If you’re sensible and step down, I wouldn’t deign to take the Sect Leader’s position; by then, Lian Di can lead the Divine Sect. How about it?”
Before Jian Qianxiong could speak, Ye Zhen sneered first, “Thirty-seven, and his cultivation has just reached the Seventh Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, yet you dare to boast about it, Louu, can’t you have so sha!
At not even twenty-two, I’ve reached the peak of the Third Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, and I dare not show off. Your face, truly thick-skinned!”
Facing Ye Zhen’s provocation, Louu Jiangyou said nothing, rely glanced at his disciple Lian Di, clearly realizing that with his status, stooping to exchange words with Ye Zhen would be beneath him.
“Hmph, afraid of saying big words? Who can’t talk big? Boy, co on, I’ll have you resting in peace within three moves!” Lian Di sneered at Ye Zhen while at the sa mont, his body emitted spiritual power, and a layer of dense fire-colored protective spirit armor covered his body.
This Lian Di, despite his arrogance, was still very cautious in battle.
Uh… speaking of which, this Lian Di was not arrogant; indeed, going against a martial artist at the peak of the Third Stage of the Vein Forging Realm with a Seventh Stage cultivation does give one the confidence to boast like that!
It’s just that he’s up against Ye Zhen!
Looking at Lian Di’s confident face, Ye Zhen suddenly chuckled lightly, “Three moves? Unfortunately, you won’t get that chance.”
“Why?” Lian Di was a bit curious.
“Because under my hand, you won’t survive past one move, let alone three,” Ye Zhen mockingly said.
Lian Di, enraged, laughed, “I’ve seen arrogance, but never one as ignorant of the heavens and earth as you. Today, I really should open my eyes. Watch out!”
With a furious shout, searing fire spirit power erupted explosively from Lian Di’s body, and with a thrust of his arms, a ferocious fire beast’s shadow condensed behind him!
“Careful, it’s Louu Jiangyou’s signature Divine Power Martial Skill, the Blazing Fla Spirit Beast Killer…” Jian Qianxiong’s voice echoed in Ye Zhen’s mind.
Coincidentally, in Lian Di’s mind, Yua Hanjing’s voice also resounded, “Lian Di, don’t underestimate him; I’ve battled him before, and he’s quite peculiar!”
“Mistress release…”
Whoosh!
Before Lian Di’s divine soul telecommunication had finished, Ye Zhen’s eyes, previously half-closed, suddenly burst open. At that mont, a three-colored beam with an obscure red edge shot straight at Lian Di.
The beam’s speed was extrely fast; as soon as it was fired, it crossed the re twenty ters between Ye Zhen and Lian Di in that instant.
More astonishingly, Lian Di’s Blazing Fla Spirit Beast Killer aid at Ye Zhen seed completely non-existent before this three-colored beam with obscure red, directly pierced through.
In a mont, it slamd into Lian Di without obstruction.
The mont Lian Di’s red protective spirit armor emitted a huge burst of red spiritual power light, Lian Di was already holding his head, wailing in pain.
“Careful, divine soul attack, its nature is a divine soul attack!” As Lian Di’s scream rang out, Louu Jiangyou’s exclamation resounded. (To be continued.
