A lone celestial vessel sails through the starry sky.
At the bow of the immortal boat, the clan elder who was the first to leave the Ye family's ancestral land had a bitter smile on his lips.
At this moment, he was holding an unidentified animal hide in his hand.
There were originally dozens of light spots on the animal hide.
These points of light represent the Golden Immortal elders of the Ye family.
Before leaving, he made a special trip to the Soul Palace, firstly to erase his own soul fire and that of his departed relatives, and secondly to imprint the soul fire of other Golden Immortals.
Although I was mentally prepared, it was still hard not to feel a little sad when it all happened.
However, it's clear that sighing is pointless now.
The Ye family, too, became the wave that was swept away and left to languish on the beach.
It might take thousands or thousands of years to rise again, or it might... never happen!
This is the Chaotic Ancient Domain.
Composing themselves, the immortal ship began to accelerate, heading towards the heart of the merchant alliance.
For him, who had lost his family's influence, the heartland of the business alliance was far safer than the border.
......
The Crane Sect was on high alert.
A magnificent formation, with each element interconnected.
The powerful members of the Crane Sect were on high alert, stationed in every corner of the formation.
In the main hall, Master Baihe's expression was solemn.
As one of only two Golden Immortals at the ninth level of the Immortal Crane Sect, he was not as powerful as the Immortal Crane Ancestor, but he was still able to dominate a region.
He has already suppressed the news of the Crane Ancestor's death.
He silenced all the disciples who knew about this news.
He was unwilling to accept it!
It's not because the Crane Ancestor died.
For him, the death of the Crane Ancestor was actually good news.
As long as the Crane Ancestor is around, to put it nicely, he is the number two figure in the Crane Sect; to put it bluntly, he is a puppet.
Not to mention the Crane Ancestor, even his descendants could ride on his neck and poop.
Of course, those people have already been sent on their way.
Today, the Crane Sect has only one voice.
He was unwilling to give up the Immortal Crane Sect!
He wanted to take a gamble.
If he succeeds, he will take his place.
Defeat is nothing more than surrendering and admitting defeat.
After all, he didn't believe that the Liu family could still spare the strength to attack the Immortal Crane Sect after defeating Wan Gu Nian and killing the White Crane Ancestor.
Moreover, behind Wan Gu Nian stands a Grand Luo expert from the Wan Cang Chamber of Commerce; perhaps the Grand Luo expert has already arrived.
If something really happened, Darrow would definitely have already set off.
The Liu family might have already fled.
"The Venerable Green Mountain has arrived!"
"The recluse from the Five Lakes has arrived!"
Two greetings came from outside the hall.
Upon hearing this, the solemn expression on Master Baihe's face lessened by a third.
Both of them were independent cultivators.
They enjoy freedom and are not bound by any power.
Without exception, both of them were powerful individuals on par with the Lily Merchant.
Venerable Green Mountain is a spiritual being born from a mountain that has stood for twenty thousand years.
With the support of his physical body and his martial arts path, although his killing power is only considered above average at the ninth level of the Heavenly Palace, his defensive power is definitely in the top tier.
Even the Crane Ancestor has admitted more than once that it is very difficult to break through the defenses of Venerable Green Mountain.
If the conflict were not irreconcilable, the Crane Ancestor would not have initiated a war with the Green Mountain Venerable.
The Recluse of the Five Lakes is relatively unremarkable, a mediocre Golden Immortal of the Ninth Heaven.
The only thing worth mentioning is that I have many friends.
"You two fellow Daoists have come from afar; I am deeply grateful and respectful!"
Master Baihe immediately went to greet him.
"Fellow Daoist Baihe, you're too kind!"
The hermit of the Five Lakes returned the greeting with a bow, while the Venerable of Green Mountain waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's nothing!"
......
"The reason I invited you two fellow Daoists here today is, to be honest, because I have a request to make."
"Fellow Daoist Baihe, please speak freely."
"Just say it!"
"As you both know, the Crane Ancestor and Chairman Wan went out three days ago, and he died!"
Master Baihe didn't not want to hide it; he simply dared not.
After all, if he concealed this matter, even if he managed to protect the Immortal Crane Sect, he would still face considerable trouble.
"What? The Crane Ancestor is dead?"
Wu Hu Sanren stared wide-eyed at Bai He Shangren with disbelief.
Master Baihe nodded and continued, "He's dead. I suspect that it was Willow God who killed my ancestor."
The worst-case scenario is that Chairman Wan and his entire team are wiped out.
"Fellow Daoist Baihe, what are you thinking about? Run! Calling us here is just suicide!"
Despite his words, Wu Hu Sanren did not take any concrete action.
He was also pondering a question: why didn't Master Baihe run away?
Chance!
With the death of the Immortal Crane Ancestor, the White Crane Master had the opportunity to ascend to the throne.
Although the Crane Sect's accumulation over the years is not as great as that of the Liu family, which controls the Willow Leaf Chamber of Commerce, it is completely comparable to the Ye family.
The accumulated cultivation resources must be an astronomical figure.
To be honest, Wuhu Sanren was tempted.
If he could get a share of the profits, then he wouldn't have to struggle for cultivation resources until he died.
Taking it any further was simply not within his consideration.
His thought was simple: to live comfortably every day in the future.
After this job, it seems like I can retire.
Moreover, even if the Liu family wins against Wan Gu Nian, the first thing they should do now is to run away.
It's absolutely impossible for them to destroy the Immortal Crane Sect!
"What's the point of running away?"
Compared to the reserved nature of the Five Lakes Hermit, the Green Mountain Venerable was clearly more confident. He patted his chest and said, "With me here, who can break through the Three Immortals Sect's protective formation?"
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Qingshan is right!"
The recluse from the Five Lakes, his eyes shining, chimed in.
If one could truly take over an existing power, who would want to be a rogue cultivator?
He had no choice before, but now he wants to be a local tycoon.
Master Baihe's expression changed; clearly, this was something he hadn't anticipated.
Both of these individuals were handpicked by him.
The passage of time has proven their integrity and lofty ideals.
The outcome was completely unexpected.
Agreeing to it would be like letting a wolf into the house.
If they don't agree, the Crane Sect might not survive until today.
After all, the mountain-protecting formation only works against external forces; it has no effect on internal forces.
"I can only be the sect leader of the Three Immortals Sect, and my two fellow Daoists must follow my orders."
Of course, I will not harm the fundamental interests of either of you.
In the end, Master Baihe chose to compromise.
Having authority is always better than breaking up completely.
"Qingshan greets the Sect Master!"
Venerable Qingshan wore a kind smile.
This trick was taught to him by a cowherd back then.
Although that cowherd has been dead for many years, I have to say he was really useful.
It's used only once every few thousand years, so nobody will be on guard against it.
Using this trick, he gradually ascended to the ninth heaven of the celestial palace.
The next step is the path to godhood and demonhood.
That day is not far off.
In the future, the Three Immortals Sect might become the Backing Sect.
Wuhu Sanren also had a big smile on his face.
......
At the same time, a crack silently appeared in the sky above the Ye family's ancestral land.
