403: Chapter 23 Yuqing Heavenly Venerate Issues an Order_2 403: Chapter 23 Yuqing Heavenly Venerate Issues an Order_2 He brought the Immortal Envoy a Spirit Pill, flattering, “The justice of the Daoist Sect has allowed Huajian State to disperse the clouds and see the sun, a clear and bright universe.
May I ask, Immortal Envoy, how will Xuanjin Venerable be dealt with?”
The envoy did not accept the Pill, stating bluntly, “I will relay the ssage back to the Daoist Sect later and await confirmation from Yuqing Heavenly Venerate before the removal from office can proceed.”
“Yuqing Heavenly Venerate?”
Yin Xi felt sothing amiss and asked, “Among the Three Pure Venerable, only Yuqing has yet to appear; if Yuqing Heavenly Venerate does not show up, won’t we have to wait a hundred years?”
Such worries were not unfounded because the Cultivation World had always faced similar issues.
Great powers in cultivation held authority, and a single session of ditation could last for dozens or even hundreds of years, with so reaching a thousand years.
Problems that needed sorting often waited for decades or centuries to be resolved, and it was not usually because the issues were difficult but because the decision-makers were in ditation.
Yin Xi had avoided a calamity because he was in seclusion; when he ca out, the Daoist Sect’s situation had already taken shape, and it was obvious which side to choose.
At that mont, the other great powers present showed a slight change in expression, with She Jingqiu looking the most nervous.
With the next Heavenly Venerate’s accession, she might already be cleared out by Xuanjin Venerable.
The Immortal Envoy consoled, “No need to worry.
Since it has been entrusted to Yuqing Heavenly Venerate to decide, it ans that Yuqing Heavenly Venerate holds the position.”
“It seems I was overthinking it.”
Yin Xi imdiately breathed a sigh of relief, then asked further, “May I know which noble person is Yuqing Heavenly Venerate?”
“Yuqing Heavenly Venerate, known as Brother Red Dust.”
The white-haired Immortal Envoy replied with a beaming smile, then observed the expressions of everyone present and saw their confusion and contemplation.
She instantly felt boredom; people wouldn’t rember a genius who had died.
Especially one never active in the Cultivation World, how many of them had access to Immortal Land eight hundred years ago?
The white-haired envoy recalled, ‘That Xuanjin Venerable was a talented individual who erged from Immortal Land.’
At that mont, a red light flew in from the outside, streaking straight toward Chenhua True Monarch; following this, his expression changed and with three steps combined into two, he approached the white-haired Immortal Envoy.
They whispered in secret transmission.
All eyes turned curiously; Yin Xi felt an inexplicable tightness in his chest.
The Immortal Envoy showed a look of surprise, then nodded slightly, “If that is the case, then detain him first.”
No sooner had these words fallen, than she raised her hand and grabbed at Yin Xi, catching him off-guard and instantly pulling him into an illusion.
Yin Xi was bewildered and upon opening his eyes again, he saw a nine-tailed white fox towering ten thousand feet tall, with nine tails spreading out like mountain ranges, a strange light shining upon him, instantly immobilizing his three souls and seven spirits.
Chenhua True Monarch stepped forward and said, “Yuqing Heavenly Venerate has ordered that the Yin Yang Union Sect plotted against the last Sect Leader of Ninghua Sect and is also suspected of colluding with the Devil Clan.
The Immortal Envoy has now captured him for interrogation; please, everyone, do not leak this news.”
“Additionally, please follow to the Yin Yang Union Sect to seal the sect and detain all disciples and elders.”
Such a turn of events caught everyone by surprise.
They looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
Just before, Yin Xi appeared poised to reclaim a position of Heavenly Venerate, and now the Yin Yang Union Sect was also likely to be condemned as Devil.
Moreover, the order ca from Yuqing Heavenly Venerate, who had never appeared before – the current leader above all Heavenly Venerates.
Wait, did this an that Yuqing Heavenly Venerate had already co to Huajian State and was investigating this matter?
Soon enough, soone ca to their senses and imdiately took sides.
“I am willing to go along.”
Following that, most people bowed and followed the order; above all Venerates were the Three Pure Venerable, especially when it was the current leading Heavenly Venerate.
If they wanted to remain in the Human Race, they couldn’t possibly refuse the Three Pure Venerable’s command.
The great powers from all sides rose into the air and sped toward the Yin Yang Union Sect, arriving at the celebrating sect within a quarter of an hour.
A dozen True Monarchs took action together, sealing the Yin Yang Union Sect under a massive cover.
The Yin Yang Union Sect’s protective formation struck back, which inevitably led to accidental discharge.
The powers of the factions no longer held back, escalating into intense combat.
And with fierce battles, restraint was soon lost; the grand sect gate was quickly reduced to ruins, with countless disciples and elders injured or killed.
Then so took the opportunity to plunder the sect’s treasury, uprooting the Spirit Fields and filling their coffers.
The Chenhua City Lord turned a blind eye; he too discreetly took a few patches of dicinal fields.
This was considered silver for suppressing bandits, and there was no fear of retaliation from the Yin Yang Union Sect.
With the order from Yuqing Heavenly Venerate, it could almost be confird that there was no possibility of turning things around.
—————–
Qianfeng Sect.
The entire sect was steeped in a deathly stillness, the elders sighed incessantly, and the disciples discussed the recent events non-stop.
Previously, the position of Heavenly Venerate was held by first-class sects, with the sect housing a Heavenly Venerate possessing the finest resources.
Although the standards for becoming a Heavenly Venerate had changed, the benefits had not.
If Xuanjin Venerable was no longer a Heavenly Venerate, then the whole sect would be demoted to second-class status.
In response, the Qianfeng Sect was naturally filled with complaints and grievances, with over half the elders requesting that the Vice Sect Leader be expelled from the sect within a day, to seek leniency from the Daoist Sect.
anwhile, Hua Qing True Monarch had already been stripped of the vice leadership and confined to a cell-like small Grotto Heaven, forbidden to step out for a thousand years.
Secluded Valley, Cool Pavilion.
Lu Chan coughed occasionally as she awaited a ssage from the Daoist Sect.
As the central figure in this incident, she was the calst, even indifferent to whether she could retain the title of Heavenly Venerate.
To a true powerhouse, the title of Heavenly Venerate was just a nominal position.
Indeed, it represented trendous power and interests, but such authority was dispensable for Lu Chan, who had reached Dao Foundation Perfection in the Eighth Level.
She already had the capital to make a push for Demi Immortal status, and with a few thousand years of refinent, there might be a glimr of opportunity to beco an Immortal.
The position of Heavenly Venerate was more for the Human Race, to win against the Devil Clan.
A stream of red light approached—it was a ssage from Chi Yu Zi.
[I’ve experienced so complications here.
The Yin Yang Union Sect has killed the last Sect Leader of the Ninghua Sect.
However, according to the rules, this won’t exonerate you; it can only settle the score with the Yin Yang Union Sect.]
Hearing this, Lu Chan asked, “Do you need to handle it?”
[No need.
I’ve already had other forces deal with it in the na of Yuqing Heavenly Venerate.
You’re still wearing your cris, and according to the rules, you can’t just act as you please.]
Lu Chan smiled and said, “You’re quite the stickler, you know.
You used to be the most unruly of us all.”
[This grandmother has always been reasonable in her actions.
It’s just that the world is fickle, inverting right and wrong, making it seem as though my reasonableness is unruliness.]
“Are your injuries getting better?”
Lu Chan noticed the emotional fluctuations in Chi Yu Zi’s response.
[It’s getting there, but I have to stay glued to a certain soone.]
“Who’s capable of healing your injuries?”
[That’s none of your business.
Instead of worrying about that, you might want to consider how to hold onto your position.]
Lu Chan said, “I have no interest in the title of Heavenly Venerate; in the end, it’s rely a nominal position.
All power and interests are just icing on the cake, of no use for one to beco an Immortal.”
Chi Yu Zi couldn’t help but praise her.
[It seems you indeed had an epiphany about your true heart back then.]
Back in the day, Lu Chan was ranked fifth on the land list; she should have been inferior to Chi Yu Zi.
But once she erged, her cultivation skyrocketed, surpassing even Chi Yu Zi’s and Xiao Yunyi’s.
If Xiao Yunyi didn’t have the Immortal Sword, she probably wouldn’t match up to Lu Chan.
Lu Chan laughed and said, “Why isn’t it that I’m simply aware I don’t deserve Brother Red Dust?”
There was silence on the other end for a while, and then Chi Yu Zi responded angrily: [You little demoness, how dare you covet Gu Wen!
I advise you to let go of this notion, or else this grandmother will surely beat you until you’re bruised and swollen.]
The sudden scolding left Lu Chan a bit confounded.
She frowned and said, “Feelings of affection are natural; as long as they do not affect others, they can’t be wrong.
Why must you be so overbearing, even trying to control my sentints?”
[Then keep your sentints to yourself.
If you dare to flirt with him in front of , this grandmother will definitely kill you.]
“Are you alright?”
Lu Chan’s brows furrowed, then she ended the communication.
After pondering for a while, Lu Chan grew more suspicious that sothing was amiss.
She stood up, took the Heavenly Venerate Order, and contacted the Daoist Sect.
Chi Venerable was likely on the verge of madness.
Elsewhere, Chi Yu Zi, who was en route to Qianfeng Sect, began dragging Gu Wen back in the opposite direction.
Gu Wen said helplessly, “What’s wrong with you now?”
Chi Yu Zi said with a stern and serious face, “I’m protecting Yu Hua’s chance at love.”
