Above the outer edge of the forest on the eastern slope.
The old man in hemp clothing, who had been resting with his eyes closed on the Sanxingdao boat, suddenly opened his eyes.
A sharp light flashed in his cloudy, weathered eyes as he gazed westward, seemingly seeing through everything.
When Yun Yao, the peak master of Misty Peak, saw the old man in hemp robes suddenly open his eyes, she asked in surprise, "Elder Yun, what's wrong?"
"No problem, I've discovered something interesting."
The old man in hemp robes, known as Elder Yun, remained calm and composed. Instead of continuing his meditation, he stood up.
He walked step by step to the bow of the Dao Boat, put his hands behind his back and looked in the direction where the five major sects had set up camp, and said meaningfully, "No matter how well you hide, the fox's tail will eventually be revealed."
Yun Yao's eyes flickered slightly, and she said in a deep voice, "Elder Yun, why are these people always so dissatisfied?"
"Human greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant; once you get something, you want more."
That's all.
Old Yun sighed as some long-forgotten memories flashed through his mind.
"Alas, we humans are forever fighting among ourselves."
"The era of great contention is about to arrive, and it will be a long time before the Great Wilderness Domain can regain its former position as the number one of the Nine Domains."
Speaking of which...
A hint of helplessness and a sigh flashed in Old Man Yun's cloudy eyes.
Then, he changed his tone.
His voice was deep and serious, as if carrying the weight of years.
"Small fish have entered the game, all that's missing is the big fish to enter the net."
"Today, I will leave all these people in the Great Wilderness. Even if I die, I will have no regrets!"
As soon as he finished speaking...
Just moments ago, Elder Yun was without desires or wants, like an ordinary old man.
A domineering aura, like that of a fierce tiger, suddenly surged from his body, making him seem like an ancient god-king.
His cultivation level was none other than—the God King Realm!
Upon hearing this, Yun Yao's delicate body trembled, and she respectfully cupped her hands, saying, "Elder Yun, you are truly righteous!"
......
At the same time, at the headquarters of the five major sects.
Yuwen Hao of the Qingyun Sword Sect sat in the main seat, exchanging toasts and drinks with the three sect leaders of the Blood Moon Sect, the Pill Sect, and the Vajra Sect.
The only woman present was Duanmu Ying, the sect leader of the Illusionary Spirit Pavilion. She sat alone in the corner, her expression as cold as ice.
He had an unapproachable demeanor.
At that moment, the tent was suddenly ripped open from the outside!
Two elderly men, one in black and one in white, rushed in, looking flustered.
They are two inner sect elders from the Blood Moon Sect and the Pill Sect, respectively.
As soon as they entered, the two rushed to their respective sect leaders and exclaimed in unison, "Sect Leader, something terrible has happened!"
The two sect leaders, Shentu and Deng Qinian, exchanged a glance and asked each other, "What happened?"
"Sect Master, according to the message from the Soul Hall of the sect..."
"The soul tablet of Shen Xiuhai (Xiao Zhuoqi), the number one new direct disciple of our sect this year, has just shattered!"
"What did you say?!"
The shocking news caused not only the Blood Moon Sect Master, Shen Tu, to suddenly stand up, his killing intent palpable.
The same applies to Deng Qinian, the leader of the Dan Sect.
In an instant.
The two exuded a terrifying aura befitting a Marquis-level expert, as if the surrounding air had sunk into a quagmire, making it difficult to breathe.
Those who can stay in the tents are all leaders of their respective sects, possessing extraordinary cultivation.
It is not affected.
However, the two inner sect elders were only at the Great Power Realm, and could not withstand the rage unleashed by a Marquis Realm expert.
Thump!
The two of them immediately lay down on the ground like dogs, unable to move.
The two sect leaders of the Blood Moon Sect and the Pill Sect, Shen Tu and Deng Qinian, were furious!
The murderous aura emanating from the two of them was almost tangible.
It should be noted that Shen Xiuhai and Xiao Zhuoqi are the best new disciples of their respective sects this year.
Both in terms of talent and physique, they are exceptional individuals.
With such a prodigy, their sect is truly blessed.
Given enough resources and room to grow, they will become the pillars of their respective sects in the future.
However, the anger of Shen Tu, the leader of the Blood Moon Sect, was different from that of Deng Qinian, the leader of the Pill Sect.
Because Shen Xiuhai is Shen Tu's biological son.
The main reason is that they had a child late in life, so naturally they cherish him dearly!
He was nurtured with top-notch resources from a young age, but just as he was beginning to show his talent, he died prematurely.
This drove Shen Tu completely insane!
He now somewhat regrets agreeing to the Qingyun Sword Sect's conditions and involving his son.
In the corner, Duanmu Ying, the sect leader of the Illusionary Spirit Pavilion, watched coldly.
My disciple is dead, and you can't escape either!
Enraged, Shen Tu and Deng Qinian turned their gazes to Yuwen Hao in the main seat and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Yuwen, Fang Li killed the number one disciple of our two sects, cutting off our sect's fresh blood."
"Now only your sect disciple Ye Qingyun is still inside. The plan has changed. Should we start the plan ahead of schedule?"
"We have only one condition: hand over Fang Li to us!"
"Fellow Daoists Shen and Deng, please don't be in a hurry."
With a forced smile, Yuwen Hao quickly said, "My Qingyun Sword Sect is deeply saddened by the loss of your two sects' disciples, but if we act rashly now, all our previous efforts may be in vain."
"The benefits promised to the two sects will be greatly reduced at that time. I hope you two fellow Daoists will consider the bigger picture!"
“That Fang Li is extremely wicked, Fellow Daoist Yuwen. I think your sect’s Ye Qingyun is also in grave danger.” Duanmu Ying suddenly interjected.
"......."
Yuwen Hao glanced at Duanmu Ying, who had suddenly spoken, and said with a smile, "My sect's disciple Ye Qingyun is at the half-step Great Power Realm. Fang Li is nothing to worry about."
"That's not necessarily true. Anything is possible, isn't it?" Duanmu Ying said with her arms crossed and a cold laugh.
