Chapter 470 - 297: Wei Wuya Invades the Demon Dao, Gu Zhan Invites the Elder Celestial Master to Death (Part 1.2w Grand Chapter)
Jingnan Dao, Qianyu Mountain.
Originally, Qianyu Mountain was the mountain gate of the Qianyu Sect. However, after the battle at Yu City, where the Martial Arts Alliance was cut through by Gu Zhan alone, the Qianyu Sect suffered a tremendous blow. Subsequently, it chose to relocate its entire sect to Changping Dao to seek the protection of Sword King City, like other sects.
Afterwards, the Moon Worship Holy Sect emerged from the Ten Thousand Mountains and expanded rapidly. The first place it targeted was Jingnan Dao, where the Sect Leader Ye Zhaonan occupied Qianyu Mountain as the new mountain gate of the Moon Worship Holy Sect.
As Yunxi gradually calmed down over this period,
Ye Zhaonan gathered the top leaders of the Moon Worship Holy Sect to discuss regional divisions. Gradually, the scattered leaders from various places arrived at Qianyu Mountain.
In a grand hall,
The top leaders of the Moon Worship Holy Sect gathered together, each holding a piece of intelligence, browsing.
The Sect Leader Ye Zhaonan slowly put down the intelligence, chuckling softly: "The world often says Gu Zhan is a reckless brute acting without consideration. Previously, I worried about becoming enemies with him, but now it seems I overthought it. He acts with a degree of strategy."
A high-ranking leader laughed lightly: "Gu Zhan may be a brute, but he’s not a fool. He understands well that dividing Yunxi into three parts is the most advantageous scenario for him. Ultimately, he is not a Land Immortal and can’t face Sword King City alone, needing our Holy Sect to restrain Sword King City.
In such a situation, he stands as the world’s number one Grandmaster, which in fact shows his Beidou Bang’s momentum to be stronger than our Holy Sect and Sword King City. So why wouldn’t he be happy?"
Ye Zhaonan nodded slightly and said: "However, although Sword King City has retreated, our Holy Sect has reemerged in the Martial World, reviving numerous matters, and we also need Gu Zhan to form an angle of balance between us and Sword King City. What’s more, Gu Zhan’s Court identity and his title as the world’s number one Grandmaster can effectively block outside sects.
For now, we should also avoid conflicts with Gu Zhan. As Marquis Yang Ling Hao rebels and warfare spreads throughout the Yun, Liang, and Qing Three States, the situation in the world is very uncertain, and Yunxi will inevitably be affected sooner or later. We should take this time to establish solid roots."
Just then,
The Saintess Kou Baimen suddenly spoke up: "Sect Leader, there is one more matter that may need to be addressed urgently."
Ye Zhaonan said: "Saintess, please speak."
Kou Baimen cupped her hands and said: "Although our Holy Sect now controls quite a bit of territory, the time is short, and the foundation is still unstable. Additionally, to be frank, our Holy Sect disciples are accustomed to the kill-or-be-killed style from the Ten Thousand Mountains and cannot change quickly; it will take a long time to stabilize internally.
Meanwhile, although Sword King City has retreated, its influence remains deeply rooted. And over at Beidou Bang, Gu Zhan has a Court identity, which makes it possible, though unlikely, for him to act unexpectedly. We can’t rely on others to have misgivings.
There’s no eternal enemy in this world. Who’s to say Beidou Bang won’t ally with Sword King City someday? Take our Holy Sect, for argument’s sake; our enmity with Sword King City and Beidou Bang is no less. So, we need to invite the ancestor to take command as soon as possible; otherwise, if Sword King City and Beidou Bang really join hands, we’ll be at a loss!"
Ye Zhaonan nodded slightly and said: "The Saintess makes a valid point. This matter, I have long been preparing for. Everyone knows that a Land Immortal can’t easily change residence. Therefore, Qianyu Mountain still needs some arrangements before inviting the ancestor..."
Suddenly, at this moment,
A cold voice interrupted Ye Zhaonan’s words.
"All of you are dying people, no need for arrangements!"
This voice was eerily strange, as if it resounded by everyone’s ears, and seemed to echo throughout the hall.
"Who dares to be reckless in my Holy Sect!"
Ye Zhaonan slammed the table suddenly and shouted with anger.
At this time, a disciple of the Moon Worship Holy Sect rushed in hurriedly, stammering: "Sect... Sect Leader... there’s trouble, Wei Wuya... Wei Wuya has come up the mountain!"
"What?"
In the hall, the high-ranking leaders’ faces all changed.
The disciple hurriedly said: "I don’t know what’s happening either; he just appeared suddenly. He claims to be the Sect Leader of Sword King City, Wei Wuya, and is now in the square?"
"Let’s go, and take a look!"
Ye Zhaonan immediately got up and turned into a stream of light, flying out.
Immediately, all the high-ranking leaders followed and rushed out.
Only the Saintess, Kou Baimen, stayed behind, stopping a middle-aged woman who was about to go out. This woman is a Supreme Grandmaster, who originally served as the Grand Elder of the Yin Kui Sect, and now occupies a high-ranking position in the Moon Worship Sect.
"Saintess?" The woman was puzzled.
Kou Baimen squinted her eyes and said: "I have a bad premonition. Wei Wuya hasn’t shown himself since before the battle at Yu City when he went into seclusion, and now suddenly appearing here, there might be a significant issue."
The woman exclaimed: "What does the Saintess mean?"
Kou Baimen said slowly: "Remember the letter from Rong Yichu, the military advisor under Gu Zhan, sent some days ago?"
The woman thought for a moment and said: "I remember he seemed to say, the Moon Worship Holy Sect is only..."
Kou Baimen said in a low voice: "Moon Worship Holy Sect, like a fleeting flower, its death is imminent. He advised me to make preparations... I suspect Rong Yichu knows something. This Wei Wuya... might have entered the Grotto Heaven Realm!"
The woman was shocked, her eyes wide open.
Kou Baimen spoke softly: "Regardless, caution is paramount. The world is too chaotic now. You must immediately and secretly gather people. If anything goes wrong, we hide. No matter what power there is, it’s meaningless once we’re gone!"
