"Finally, reinforcements from the Immortal Forest Sect arrived, and three Tribulation Transcending cultivators joined forces to rescue them. They intended to force back the Tribulation Transcending cultivators from the Longevity Pavilion, but unexpectedly, they failed and surrounded and killed them! The Longevity Pavilion has lost a Tribulation Transcending cultivator!"
"After the great battle, the young sect leader counted the source stones and found that only 13 remained! Ten source stones were missing! They are suspected to have fallen into the hands of the Undying Forest!"
This news shocked the world!
Upon hearing this, the first reaction of most cultivators was: the internal strife among the eight great immortal sects is about to erupt!
This is the first time that a sharp conflict has arisen within the Immortal Sect because of source stones, resulting in the death of a Tribulation Transcending cultivator!
This is huge news!
All the sects under heaven were secretly delighted, happy to see the immortal sects make a fool of themselves. The fiercer their fighting was, the more peaceful the cultivators under heaven would be.
At this moment, all eyes in the world are focused on the Eight Sects, and new information is constantly being revealed.
"The young sect leader hurriedly led his team back to their base and handed over the source stones! An insider revealed that the eight great immortal sects are having secret talks!"
"Three months have passed! No one knows the outcome of the negotiations, but it's said that in the latest allocation of Originium, the Undying Forest didn't receive a single Originium!"
"It's pretty much confirmed that the Undying Forest took the Source Stone! A rift has appeared in the Changshen Palace camp, and an extremely irreconcilable conflict has arisen between the Changsheng Pavilion and the Undying Forest! The Changsheng Pavilion may have to leave the Changshen Palace camp!"
As more and more news continued to emerge, many cultivators marveled at how quickly the world was changing, leaving them bewildered.
It was thought that the Immortal Sect would easily acquire this Origin Stone, which only appears once every three hundred years, but who could have imagined that it would also trigger the biggest internal conflict within the Immortal Sect.
The alliance of the eight immortal sects was already fragile, and now, the potential for the alliance to collapse could erupt at any moment.
If that really happens, the Myriad Laws and Universe Pavilion will be inside, cultivators all over the world will be secretly resentful, and the eight great immortal sects will still be fighting and killing each other... The entire chessboard of the nine great immortal sects will be completely overturned!
Some were waiting, some were hoping, and cultivators across the land were silently watching everything that was happening to the immortal sects.
These messages quickly reached Xiaoyun Temple, and when Wang Zhaoning relayed the message to Su Lin, he also wondered if the matter was true or false.
“Master, logically speaking... this move by the Undying Forest is too risky. They are already entitled to a share of the source stones, so why would they risk taking more?”
"Even if they are greedy, they should use a more secure method. How can they expect to be discovered when a mere elder is causing trouble right under the nose of a Tribulation Transcending cultivator?"
Wang Zhaoning couldn't understand how Elder Lin, who was supposed to be a high-ranking member of the Immortal Sect, could be so brainless.
"It's just that they're blinded by greed."
Upon hearing this, Su Lin simply smiled faintly and did not explain much to Wang Zhaoning.
Of course, he wouldn't say that Chu Mo used his escape talent to secretly influence the NPCs, causing this incident to brew and erupt. This allowed Su Lin to obtain ten more source stones while also shifting the blame onto the Undying Forest, creating conflict between the Undying Forest and the Longevity Pavilion, and further weakening the current strength of the Changshen Palace faction.
Of course, he also took the opportunity to eliminate the elder of the Undying Forest, causing the death of this taciturn fellow; at the same time, he also "sacrificed" the tribulation-crossing expert of the Longevity Pavilion, so that he would not tell the Immortal Sect all the details of what happened at the Xiaoyun Temple's residence that day, so that the Immortal Sect could not be sure whether Su Lin had really absorbed the source stone.
This is a crucial point. At least Xiao Linlin believes that Su Lin still needs to continue to hide and develop. Even if that Longevity Pavilion cultivator who has undergone tribulation may not be able to confirm that the powerful divine sense came from Su Lin, keeping him around is still an unstable factor.
They decided to take advantage of this setup to kill them all, thus eliminating any future trouble.
Is that really the case?
Wang Zhaoning looked puzzled and muttered to herself.
“Zhao Ning”.
"Master, I'm here."
"Go and take stock of the list of those who besieged our sect's territory that day."
"Master, what's wrong...?"
Wang Zhaoning's eyes lit up, and she looked up at Su Lin. Su Lin slowly nodded: "Kill someone."
Xiaoyun Temple is about to make another move, using a "reasonable" excuse to annex new forces!
"Yes, Master, I will take care of it right away and then inform Elder Lu."
Wang Zhaoning smiled slightly. She was already used to this routine. She understood it from the day she was surrounded. None of those people would escape!
After all, her master was not one to be wronged.
"No need to inform him, I will personally lead the team this time."
Su Lin's words startled Wang Zhaoning, who asked in a low voice, "Master, is... something going to happen?"
Master rarely intervenes in these combat-related matters personally. In Wang Zhaoning's eyes, this was the first time Su Lin had officially led a team into battle.
There must be a more important reason behind why the master acted so unusually.
This time, Su Lin did not hide it from Wang Zhaoning, but gave her a meaningful reminder: "We need to act quickly now, the world is about to change, and the Nine Sects will soon become the Eight Sects."
"...The Pavilion of Ten Thousand Laws and Universe!"
Wang Zhaoning was taken aback and blurted out.
One hundred years!
The Eight Sects are finally going to truly suppress the Myriad Laws Universe Pavilion!
If the Myriad Laws and Universe Pavilion were to perish, the remaining eight sects would inevitably fall into a new struggle. As time goes by, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the eight sects would soon become seven, six, five, or even fewer.
The fewer immortal sects that survive, the lower the threat to Xiaoyun Temple. In addition, Xiaoyun Temple has also obtained source stones. If it can use them to create powerful cultivators, then in the future... Wang Zhaoning suddenly understood!
She looked up at Su Lin, stunned, and a terrible, unbelievable guess surfaced in her mind.
It turns out that the rumors circulating about Xiaoyun Temple were not unfounded.
