Entry: I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World

91: Chapter 91: Gathering of Sages Palace, Discussing an Attack on the Azure Wave Sect!Spirit Realm, Eastern Continent.

The outside world knew nothing of what had transpired within the Secret Realm of the Tianyan Dao Sect.

A Sect with a history of three hundred thousand years had its founding treasure snatched away by someone who came knocking on their door.

Even a Peak Mahayana Stage powerhouse had died; the Tianyan Dao Sect kept such matters tightly under wraps.

Family scandals should not be aired in public.

As for Lord Dragon?

He had even less time to go around spreading rumors.

...

Somewhere in the Eastern Continent.

A magnificent palace stood atop the peaks of a mountain range, its halls towering with upturned eaves and bracket sets, surrounded by swirling Spiritual Qi.

Above the main entrance of the palace hung a plaque with three large characters: Juxian Palace.

This was a meeting place jointly funded and built by several mid-sized Sects of both the Righteous and Demonic Paths in the Eastern Continent.

It was specifically used to discuss matters that were inconvenient to talk about on one’s own territory.

At this moment, within the Juxian Palace, dozens of Cultivators were seated in rows.

Some wore the attire of the Righteous Path, their Daoist robes fluttering, possessing an immortal-like aura.

Others were dressed in Demonic Path garb, covered in black robes with sinister expressions.

The Righteous and Demonic Paths, who would normally want to draw blades the moment they met, were now sitting together in one hall, coexisting peacefully.

The reason was simple: they had a common goal.

At the head of the hall sat a Cultivator who appeared to be a middle-aged man.

He had a square face, and his brow carried a hint of awe-inspiring righteousness, but his eyes flickered with calculation and ruthlessness.

He was the Blazing Sun Master, the Sect Master of the Chi Xiao Sect, with a cultivation at the Late Nascent Soul Stage.

Within the Righteous Path of the Eastern Continent, the Chi Xiao Sect had a history of over two thousand years and a deep foundation, with three thousand Disciples and four Nascent Soul Cultivators.

And the Blazing Sun Master himself was well-known in the Righteous Path for being public-spirited and righteous.

Of course, ”public-spirited and righteous” should be put in quotation marks.

Everyone present was well aware of the real reason.

The Blazing Sun Master looked around and spoke slowly:

”Everyone, I presume you all know why I have called you here today.”

”That Feng Jiuge hails from the Azure Wave Sect. Over the years, he has slaughtered fellow Cultivators and wiped out countless Sects. My Chi Xiao Sect alone has had three Personal Disciples die at his hands.”

As soon as these words were spoken, someone below immediately chimed in.

”Sect Master Blazing Sun is right! My Profound Yin Sect also had two Core Disciples fall victim to his cruelty!”

The speaker was an old man in black robes, with a withered face and sunken eyes, emitting a cold and gloomy aura.

This person was Xuan Gu, the Vice Sect Master of the Profound Yin Sect, with a cultivation at the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul.

The Profound Yin Sect is a Demonic Path Sect in the Eastern Continent; they act ruthlessly, and their Disciples have committed no shortage of murders and robberies.

But this time, they were indeed wronged.

Those two Core Disciples were bullying a mortal woman when they were spotted by the passing Feng Jiuge; he killed them on the spot with one sword strike each.

Venerable Xuan Gu was furious upon learning of this and personally led men to hunt him down for three months.

In the end, they didn’t even catch a glimpse of Feng Jiuge’ shadow.

”And my Heavenly Doom Tower!”

Another bald, burly man slammed the table and stood up, speaking in a booming voice:

”My Personal Disciple was exceptionally talented and would have surely become a Nascent Soul in the future, but what happened? He was decapitated by Feng Jiuge with a single sword strike! I wish I could skin him alive!”

The Heavenly Doom Tower is a Demonic Path assassin organization in the Eastern Continent, specializing in assassination contracts.

That exceptionally talented Personal Disciple had taken a job to assassinate a mortal official; just as he succeeded, he was cornered in an alley and killed by Feng Jiuge.

When the bald man received the news, he nearly crushed his teeth in rage.

Following that, another seven or eight people spoke up to voice their grievances.

There were those from the Righteous Path and those from the Demonic Path.

Some had lost Personal Disciples, some had lost direct descendants, and some had lost Sect Elders.

The causes of death were varied, but they all boiled down to one thing.

Either they were caught doing evil deeds and were killed by Feng Jiuge.

Or they were hunting Feng Jiuge and were killed instead.

In any case, none of it was honorable.

As the Blazing Sun Master listened to the clamorous accusations, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Very good.

The timing was right.

He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

”I understand your feelings. That Feng Jiuge is indeed someone everyone has the right to execute.”

”However, have you all considered the Azure Wave Sect’s side?”

Everyone was taken aback.

The Azure Wave Sect?

Seeing their expressions, the Blazing Sun Master laughed inwardly, though his face remained serious.

”I have heard that the Azure Wave Sect once had two Nascent Soul Old Ancestors who had some connections with the Tianyan Dao Sect in the past.”

”But later, those two Old Ancestors failed their Soul Transformation Breakthrough and passed away, so that relationship faded.”

”I have already investigated thoroughly; the Tianyan Dao Sect doesn’t care about the Azure Wave Sect at all.”

”After those two Old Ancestors passed away, the Azure Wave Sect was never able to establish a connection with the Tianyan Dao Sect again.”

”In other words, if we move against the Azure Wave Sect, the Tianyan Dao Sect will not interfere.”

Hearing this, the eyes of the crowd below immediately lit up.

What kind of existence was the Tianyan Dao Sect?

It was a true titan of the Eastern Continent!

With a history of three hundred thousand years, it was overseen by a Tribulation Crossing Ancestor!

If the Azure Wave Sect really had the Tianyan Dao Sect behind it, they wouldn’t dare move against it even if they were given a hundred times more courage.

But now...

No backing?

Then what the hell is there to fear!

Venerable Xuan Gu smiled sinisterly. ”Is Sect Master Blazing Sun’s word true?”

The Blazing Sun Master glanced at him and said indifferently, ”Since I dare to say it, I naturally have reliable information. If you don’t believe me, you can investigate it yourselves.”

Venerable Xuan Gu waved his hand. ”Sect Master Blazing Sun must be joking; how could I not believe you? It’s just...”

He paused and said with some concern, ”Even if the Tianyan Dao Sect doesn’t interfere, the Azure Wave Sect is still a Sect after all. If we launch a large-scale attack, will it attract the intervention of other powers?”

The Blazing Sun Master laughed.

”Brother Yin, you worry too much.”

He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said unhurriedly:

”I forgot to tell you all one thing.”

Everyone looked at him in unison.

The Blazing Sun Master set down his teacup and spoke slowly:

”My Sect has an Old Ancestor who successfully broke through to the Soul Transformation Realm thirty years ago.”

Soul Transformation!

As soon as those words came out, the entire Juxian Palace fell silent for a moment.

The Spirit Transformation Realm!

That is an existence capable of crushing a Nascent Soul!

Seeing their expressions, the Blazing Sun Master felt smug, though his face remained calm.

”That Old Ancestor is currently in secluded cultivation to stabilize his Realm and will not easily take action.”

”But if some blind power really dares to interfere, it wouldn’t be out of the question for the Old Ancestor to strike once.”

Everyone looked at each other.

A Soul Transformation Old Ancestor...

With such a great figure overseeing things, what was there to fear?

Venerable Xuan Gu was the first to stand up and cup his hands. ”Sect Master Blazing Sun’s foresight is profound; I am full of admiration! In that case, the Azure Wave Sect is a piece of meat on the chopping block!”

The bald man from the Heavenly Doom Tower also grinned. ”I’ve wanted to make a move for a long time! If we can force that Feng Jiuge to show himself, I’ll twist his head off with my own hands!”

Others chimed in as well, their emotions running high.

The Blazing Sun Master nodded with satisfaction at this scene.

”Everyone, please calm down.”

”Didn’t I call you all here today to discuss this very matter?”

”There is no time to lose.”

”I suggest that in three days, we each lead our Sect’s elites and gather outside the mountain gate of the Azure Wave Sect.”

”At that time, I will oversee the coordination.”

”If the Azure Wave Sect is sensible and hands over Feng Jiuge, we shall spare their lives.”

”If they are not sensible.”

The Blazing Sun Master sneered.

”Then we shall raze their mountain gate and leave not even a chicken or dog alive!”

As his voice fell, everyone responded in unison.

”Good!”

”That’s how it should be!”

”Sect Master Blazing Sun is wise!”

”Then I wish you all immediate success.”

Everyone raised their cups.

For a time, the atmosphere in the Juxian Palace was boisterous, as if the Azure Wave Sect were already within their grasp.
