Shang Qing and Shi Yi decided to join the conservative faction for the sake of Qing Luan Xian Ji.
Qingluan Fairy detests the radicals' bloody evil and is unwilling to stay in the Misty Abyss, so the two of them have no choice but to make the greatest concessions.
Although they were once Ya Lan's subordinates, they were only considered small fry at the time, and they basically did not participate in that great chaos.
The reason they have achieved their current status among radicals is simply because they have lived long enough and accumulated their knowledge and skills over time.
Even after ten thousand years, they only reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, which shows that their talent was mediocre.
Qingluan Fairy was sometimes very curious about how they had lived to this day, since their lifespans should have ended by now.
But considering that they were already dishonest people, and who knows what shady methods they used to prolong their lives, it wasn't surprising.
The two held a position that was neither low nor high within the radical faction. Perhaps they sensed that their lifespans were coming to an end, or perhaps they felt threatened in other ways, and wanted to rely on Qingluan Fairy as their protector.
Only then did he decide to abandon the radicals and, despite the disapproving looks, join the conservatives.
“Since you brought people in, it concerns the entire Misty Abyss. How can I not interfere? You must give me an explanation today.” Wan Quan pressed on relentlessly.
He forced a smile, "She's still at the late Golden Core stage, and her aptitude is quite good. If you hand her over to me, I won't hold it against you for bringing someone from the cultivation world into the Misty Abyss without permission."
To avoid drawing attention, Shen Sangruo deliberately suppressed her cultivation level.
Otherwise, her mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation would be too conspicuous, and she would have no reason to join the Misty Dark Abyss; it would be obvious that she was there to cause trouble.
After Wan Quan finished speaking, Qingluan Fairy protected her behind her, remaining unmoved.
He knew perfectly well that Wan Quan was just using this as an excuse to deliberately cause trouble.
At this moment, another group of people appeared in everyone's sight.
They are demonic cultivators from the conservative faction, led by their leader, Linghu Min.
The conservatives originally had two leaders, but the other one died in a struggle with the radicals, at the hands of Wan Quan.
Therefore, when Linghu Min saw Wan Quan, his eyes were already brimming with raging anger.
Seeing this, Fairy Qingluan brought out her prepared explanation, "What? Does Chief Wan not want to see new people joining the conservative faction?"
"A newcomer?" Wan Quan asked as if he'd heard a joke. "You mean she's going to join the conservatives and become a demonic cultivator?"
"With her talent, she's highly sought after in the cultivation world. Why would she join the Misty Abyss? Could it be that she harbors malicious intentions and has other motives?"
Wan Quan's suspicions were quite reasonable, but Shen Sangruo ignored him and instead addressed Linghu Min first.
"Greetings, Chief Linghu. I am Sang Ruo. I have been hunted down by my enemies and have nowhere to go in the cultivation world. I have come to Misty Abyss to ask Chief Linghu to take me in."
This was also a reason she had thought of in advance, since these demonic cultivators couldn't leave the Misty Abyss to find out the truth about her identity anyway.
Linghu Min instinctively didn't give her a friendly look, but she had made it clear to the radicals that she had come to pledge allegiance to the conservatives.
Although he still had doubts, he could only temporarily categorize her as a conservative and protect her, so as not to lose face in front of the radicals.
At this time, relations between the two sides are tense and the balance could be broken at any time. If their people are taken away by the radicals at will, wouldn't they be at a disadvantage in terms of momentum?
“Wan Quan, she’s here to join our conservative faction. Whether or not we accept her should be decided by the conservatives. Do you want to decide for us?” Linghu Min’s eyes swept over Wan Quan.
If Shen Sangruo knew, she would have passed this hurdle for now.
But Wan Quan seemed determined to stir up trouble. "What are you conservatives? Soon, the radicals will be in charge of the entire Misty Abyss. I'm going to interfere in this matter today, so what can you do about it?"
To make matters worse, another group of people arrived from afar. The difference between the conservatives and the radicals was obvious; their menacing aura clearly indicated that they were radicals.
"Why is Shi Mu here too?" Shang Qing frowned.
Shi Mu is another leader of the radical faction, and he was also a former subordinate of Ya Lan.
However, unlike Shang Qing Shi Yi, he was considered a confidant of Ya Lan and made many contributions during the chaos.
Although he was seriously injured in the chaos, which prevented his cultivation from ever exceeding the Nascent Soul stage, he still managed to maintain his position as leader based on his "achievements".
"Is this ever going to end?" Ten Wings said irritably, but could only grumble a few words.
Seeing that they had discovered Shi Mu, Wan Quan grinned smugly, "I'm not only taking her away, but I'm also taking you two traitors back with me!"
Shen Sangruo never expected that the atmosphere would be so tense upon entering the Misty Abyss.
They immediately prepared for battle together with the others.
However, she was still suppressing her cultivation level, and the battle was giving her a headache.
If nothing unexpected happens, the battle will break out when Ishigure and his men arrive.
Shi Mu swaggered in, his demeanor arrogant as if he were some big shot.
His eyes were full of disdain, as if he wanted to look down on people.
His gaze swept over everyone present, finally settling on Shen Sangruo.
He was about to deliver a powerful speech and lead his men into action, but the moment he saw her, his eyes widened as if his pupils had been shocked by an earthquake.
His arrogant demeanor vanished instantly, and Shen Sangruo actually saw the word "well-behaved" in such a devil.
He couldn't help but frown slightly. Why did he react this way upon seeing her?
She was absolutely certain that she had never met Shi Mu in this life or the previous one, thus ruling out the possibility that she had known him before.
The others were also completely baffled, not knowing what had happened.
Wan Quan also noticed something was wrong. He looked at Shi Mu, who was scrutinizing Chen Sangruo as if no one else was around, and asked in a low voice, "Shi Mu, what are you doing?"
In this kind of situation, he pulled this stunt on him, and his soul was immediately captivated upon meeting him. Was he deliberately trying to embarrass the radical faction?
If Shi Mu hadn't been of a slightly higher status than him, he would have already started cursing.
"Ahem." Shi Mu then came to his senses, composed himself, and adopted a serious expression.
"So what if you conservatives add new people? You'll still be trampled underfoot by the radicals. I'd like to see what kind of waves you can stir up after you take in new people."
Shi Mu's expression was fierce, and he uttered harsh words, but the meaning behind his words was that he wanted to let the matter go.
As she spoke, she winked and made suggestive faces at Shen Sangruo, making her wonder if there was something wrong with his eyes.
Upon hearing this, everyone present looked puzzled.
Wan Quan could no longer contain himself. Shi Mu was someone he had invited to provide support, but now he was about to let him go, which enraged him.
"Shi Mu, what exactly are you trying to do? What's wrong with you?!"
