The Canglang Sword Sect is one of the top ten sects in Zhongzhou, but they have been dissatisfied with merely being in the top ten for a long time.
After all, there's a saying in the mortal world: "Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix." Even if you're only in the top ten, you still have to consider the attitudes of the other nine sects.
Senior Sister Zhao believed that she was no less capable than Feng Yinyue in any way, but because of her sect background, she had to bow down to Feng Yinyue in public.
Once the Ziwei Heavenly Palace is destroyed, what's the point of Feng Yinyue being so arrogant!
Senior Sister Zhao made up her mind and tried her best to persuade her master: "Master, think about it, if Immortal Lord Jingyang really gets into trouble, then Ziwei Heavenly Palace will lose face! When those sects start making trouble with it, wouldn't that be a good opportunity for our Canglang Sword Sect to fish in troubled waters?"
Although Senior Sister Zhao is not from the sect leader's lineage in the Canglang Sword Sect, her grandmaster, Yu Gangzi, is an ancestor who recently advanced to the Mahayana stage and is now a top figure in the Canglang Sword Sect.
As a result, their lineage rose in status within the sect, becoming extremely prestigious.
Senior Sister Zhao's master, Ancestor Chuanyun, was also tempted, but hesitated. He naturally wanted to see Ziwei Heavenly Palace suffer misfortune.
If he could, he would also like to compete to become the new leader of the Canglang Sword Sect. However, he is soft-hearted and only dares to do what Yu Gangzi tells him to do.
Without Yu Gangzi's orders, he dared not launch an attack on the Ziwei Heavenly Palace.
“Xinru, why don’t you let me think about it some more? Your grandmaster went out not long ago, saying he was going to find the young female artifact cultivator who created the communication book to discuss cooperation. I heard that the communication book was created by an artifact cultivator from the Loose Cultivator City, and your grandmaster attaches great importance to this matter. I don’t want to bring it up with him yet.”
“Master! You can’t let Grandmaster make all the decisions. If you become the sect leader, you can’t ask Grandmaster about all the sect affairs, can you?”
Senior Sister Zhao didn't take what Ancestor Chuanyun said to heart at all, and tried to persuade him in a coquettish manner.
"You can't even make a decision on such a small matter? Besides, we were just testing the waters, not doing anything more than spreading some slander about Immortal Lord Jingyang and his junior sister to provoke other sects into taking action. Even if someone wants to hold us accountable, it won't be us."
These words struck a chord with Ancestor Chuanyun. After pondering for a moment, he nodded decisively and instructed Senior Sister Zhao to carry them out.
Senior Sister Zhao was highly skilled; she fabricated a story that was three parts truth and seven parts falsehood, and quickly arranged for people to start spreading the word.
The Ziwei Heavenly Palace remained oblivious, but in the Wenxian City restaurants and teahouses, which were overflowing with people as the secret realm opened, whispers and murmurs filled the air overnight.
"Hey, have you heard? Bai Tong from Jingyang Peak of Ziwei Heavenly Palace, who is also the junior sister of Immortal Lord Jingyang, went to the City of Loose Cultivators and had a falling out with Ziwei Heavenly Palace!"
"I've heard about it! I don't quite understand. She's the direct junior sister of the Great Ascension Immortal Lord, so how could she have fallen out with the sect? In that case, the Jingyang Immortal Lord would be caught in the middle."
"Hey, you don't know this? It's because Immortal Lord Jingyang also had a falling out with Ziwei Heavenly Palace! He's been gone from Jingyang Peak for a long time. Otherwise, do you think he wouldn't have sent any news all these years?"
"Huh? Why did you fall out?"
"Because Bai Tong is a scoundrel! She framed the Wind Fairy of Ziwei Heavenly Palace, did you know that? The Wind Fairy was attacked by a demonic beast and seriously injured while trying to save her! Yet she hasn't gone back to see the Wind Fairy even once in fifteen years. It's possible that Immortal Lord Jingyang blindly protected Bai Tong and prevented the sect from punishing her, which led to the falling out."
"By the Three Pure Ones above, how could Bai Tong be so ruthless? And Jingyang Immortal Lord, he betrayed his sect for such a woman? He is unworthy of being an Immortal Lord; his character is so despicable!"
