The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings Chapter 1505 - 1505 1452 - Chapter 14532

Chapter 1505: Chapter 1452 – Chapter 1453_2 Chapter 1505: Chapter 1452 – Chapter 1453_2 Then, the reason why these people caught the attention of Lu Bing was that he noticed these people had recently all headed in a similar direction. Even if the Shenxiao Sect had discovered so Great World, it was unlikely to sustain so many powerful individuals entering.

So, it piqued Lu Bing’s interest.

However, although they had lost the support of the Southern Pole Imperial Palace, the other party could not be considered their ally, but it was still a case of “the well water not violating the river water,” at least the other party wouldn’t likely beco an enemy of the Jade Emperor lineage.

This ti, people from the Southern Pole Imperial Palace were clearly plotting sothing. If they intervened, it might bring about the dissatisfaction of the Southern Pole Imperial Palace and perhaps draw an enemy upon themselves.

It was known that the situation of the Jade Emperor lineage was already tough to begin with. Under such circumstances, it was really inappropriate to provoke the Southern Pole Imperial Palace further.

“Southern Pole Imperial Palace!” The Jade Emperor also showed a complex expression in his eyes upon hearing this.

His attitude towards the Southern Pole Imperial Palace was very complex. He didn’t deny the help his teacher had given him, but at the sa ti, sitting in his current position, the person he feared most was Master Pei.

Among the many powerful beings in heaven and earth, countless True Immortal Taoist Monarchs, yet, even including those veteran True Immortal Taoist Monarchs, there were only a few people whom the Jade Emperor feared, and undoubtedly, Master Pei was the most powerful.

In these ten thousand years, with the resources he had gathered, he had pushed his power to an unimaginable extent, matching so veteran True Immortals, and even rivaling those Taoist Monarchs.

But the Jade Emperor, having reached such a state in his cultivation, felt no inclination to challenge Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing.

Perhaps it wasn’t just him; as ti passed, all the powerful beings found it increasingly difficult to foster a spirit of challenge toward the Longevity Taoist Monarch.

At least as far as the Jade Emperor knew, in the past ten thousand years, aside from the Sword Emperor of the Sword Sect and Taoist Monarch Xuantian of the Xuantian Sect, who could still occasionally challenge Master Pei, the rest of the powerful beings lacked even the qualifications to challenge him.

Thus, now in dealing with matters related to Master Pei, the Jade Emperor was extrely cautious not to overstep boundaries, to avoid unnecessary troubles.

It was known that the Jade Emperor was no fool; he understood that although he had so emotional ties with Master Pei, ultimately, he was only a nominal disciple.

“Distance does not separate relatives,” but as a nominal disciple, compared to Pang Hong, who was a direct disciple, he still fell short.

Moreover, no matter how he had been taken care of initially, his subordinates under the Jade Emperor’s command were ultimately different from Master Pei’s Shenxiao Sect and the disciples from the Taoist Academy.

If there were so tacit understanding and emotional ties between the two sides before, then waiting until he had initially tried to erode the authority of the Southern Pole Imperial Palace and encountered the strong counterattack from the Shenxiao Sect, withMaster Pei not making an appearance, one could discern Master Pei’s attitude.

Regarding this, the Jade Emperor had no complaints. Instead, he felt that it was only proper, given that their positions were different. Helping him was a kindness, but not helping was just duty.

Being in his position, unless he completely relinquished his authority and willingly followed behind Master Pei like Pang Hong, he could never reach the summit.

For the Jade Emperor, his life experience had already determined that it was impossible for him to place all his hopes on soone else, despite the significant help that this person had on his growth, leading him step by step to this day.

Yet, not relying on the other did not an that they had to sever ties completely, becoming enemies or adversaries.

If possible, the Jade Emperor believed that there was no powerful being in the world who would willingly be an enemy or rival of the Longevity Taoist Monarch, without a doubt.

Upon hearing about the recent special actions of the Southern Pole Imperial Palace from Lu Bing, he also felt sowhat unsure of what to do.

His view was the sa as Lu Bing’s; since everyone in the Southern Pole Imperial Palace had mobilized, it inevitably ant that the Southern Pole Imperial Palace was plotting sothing significant, and it was very likely related to Master Pei.

After all, for the entire Southern Pole Imperial Palace, there weren’t many powerful enough to mobilize such forces; if not Master Pei, then it must have been his own senior brother who had intervened, otherwise no one else would have had the authority.

“Continue to closely monitor everything, and report back to imdiately if there are any anomalies,” Jade Emperor instructed Lu Bing.

Rationally speaking, he shouldn’t have interfered in the affairs of the Southern Pole Imperial Palace anymore; after all, too much involvent would also provoke resentnt from the Southern Pole Imperial Palace.

But when it ca to the tip of his tongue, he couldn’t help but let Lu Bing pay attention to this matter, as whatever the Southern Pole Imperial Palace was planning was definitely not trivial. If he could gain even a small opportunity from it, it would be a significant benefit.

Moreover, not to ntion other matters, just the fact that it could involve the Longevity Taoist Monarch, Pei Xuanjing, he wouldn’t overlook this matter, and neither would any other powerhouse. They couldn’t afford to miss this opportunity.

Upon hearing this, Lu Bing affird it; his Emperor’s response was actually within his expectations—he had secretly been paying close attention to the matter already.

While they were closely monitoring the affairs of the Southern Pole Imperial Palace, they were unaware that their actions had unwittingly fallen into soone else’s sches.

“Has the bait been taken?” Yu Zhenzi smiled, looking towards Pang Hong.

“Pang Hong has already reported this matter to the Jade Emperor, and according to the feedback, their attention has indeed been drawn,” Pang Hong nodded, putting down the jade slip in his hand.

The importance of intelligence to any force is self-evident, and the Jade Emperor had his trusted people prepare an intelligence agency to keep an eye on the dynamics of all sides, so the sa was obviously true for the Shenxiao Sect.

Lu Bing could monitor the gods affiliated with the Southern Pole Imperial Palace to observe so of their actions and abnormalities, and he would even place spies among various forces.

If initially, his actions could remain secret and unknown, how could other forces not be aware of their actions after such a long ti?

Spies could remain deeply hidden when unknown, but once suspicion arises, a careful investigation could definitely reveal who the traitor is.

Don’t think that such spies are so formidable. Rember, this is the Cultivation World, filled with various Divine Arts and Secret Skills for investigation and surveillance, and even the most formidable spy couldn’t withstand such scrutiny.

And not only could they plant spies among others, but others could similarly infiltrate their ranks, or even use their spies to fish, executing so enticing sches.

This ti, Pang Hong’s approach was just that, and Lu Bing believed all he knew about the Southern Pole Imperial Palace was derived from his own investigations.

Indeed, that was part of it, but the other part of the real reason was that Pang Hong and his associates deliberately leaked so traces to let Lu Bing discover them.

Knowing that they were engaged in significant scheming, how could Pang Hong, with his cautious character, seriously seek to leave no stone unturned and not leave such a glaring loophole?

Given that Pang Hong had led the Shenxiao Sect and even the Southern Pole Imperial Palace for thousands of years without any major oversights, it showed how ticulous he was.

And not to forget, Pang Hong was also a powerhouse from the Great Ming Empire; how could he be unaware of what the Dong Factory and Brocade Guards relied on to exist?

So even though under the Jade Emperor’s command this organization had changed its appearance, one could tell by just looking at the leaders being Lu Bing and Huang Jin, Pang Hong didn’t even need to think twice about what it was for.

Thus, naturally, he was cautious about the Brocade Guards and Dong Factory, and it was impossible that their significant scheming could be easily detected by the other side.
