Chapter 174: Chapter 173: The Response of the Three Great Cultivation Sacred LandsPolitical marriage is the best solution. And since Lie Tian Heavenly Country wishes to engage in marital alliance with Emperor Immortal Sect, naturally, they must do their utmost. His third son, whether in appearance, talent, or character, is second to none and has even entered Xuanyuan Sacred Land for cultivation, where he was listed as an outstanding disciple. Once Ye Xuan dies, he will send someone to propose marriage again. If the plan to kill Ye Xuan fails, then someone will propose to Zhou Zihuang’s second daughter, Zhou Bingyi. Prepare for both outcomes. This was the Emperor’s plan. One could say much about the Emperor’s schemes, but let us not. During this night, the most furious of all must be the three great cultivation Sacred Lands: Xuanmo Cave, Smoke Mist Mountain, and Lingxu Sacred Land. Within this radius of a hundred thousand li, Xuanmo Cave, Smoke Mist Mountain, and Lingxu Sacred Land could be said to be the three Overlords. Whether it be Emperor Immortal Sect, Lie Tian Heavenly Country, or the Huainan Mountain Jiang Family, they all fell within this territory, and their overall strength was not comparable to the three great cultivation Sacred Lands. The overall strength of these three cultivation Sacred Lands was not much weaker than that of Luotian Sacred Land, and they were well-known throughout the Southern Domain. For instance, when the Southern Ghost Tomb opened, the three great cultivation Sacred Lands definitely had their spots guaranteed. Yet today, the three great cultivation Sacred Lands joined forces, intending to divide up the cultivation resources obtained by Emperor Immortal Sect from Luotian Sacred Land, and even aimed to get their hands on Emperor Immortal Sect’s Great Emperor Immortal Skill. To think that their meticulous plan would fail! The ancestor of Emperor Immortal Sect, Zhou Chaolong, was unexpectedly not dead and appeared in person, slaughtering everyone from the three great cultivation Sacred Lands. The Supreme Elders of their Sects, who were highly respected, were also decapitated. Let’s not dwell on that. What was infuriating was that the bodies of the three Supreme Elders were hung at the Mountain Gate of Emperor Immortal Sect, and they even proclaimed, "Those who offend our Emperor Immortal Sect, even if they are far away, will be punished." This had enraged the people of the three great cultivation Sacred Lands immensely. When facing the more powerful Sect forces, they had never suffered such an insult! Xuanmo Cave. Although it is called a Cave, it is in fact a large Sect with a million disciples and an abundance of powerful figures. At this moment, there’s an uproar within the great hall of Xuanmo Cave. "I’m infuriated! A mere Emperor Immortal Sect dares to be so arrogant, relying on an old Undying in their Sect, and even has the audacity to hang Elder Qianxue’s corpse at the Mountain Gate?!" An Elder of Xuanmo Cave shouted angrily. "Emperor Immortal Sect must be annihilated; such arrogance is intolerable!" "They must not be left alive!" The eighteen Elders of Xuanmo Cave spoke out one after another, expressing their stance, with most Elders advocating for war to join forces and suppress Emperor Immortal Sect. "Cave Master, give the order!" Some of the more extreme Elders directly instructed the Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave to give the command. "Cave Master, as one of the three Overlords of Tianqing Mountain Range, how can we allow an insignificant Sect to defecate and urinate on our heads?!" "Cave Master, ..." All Elders of Xuanmo Cave spoke up. Xuanmo Cave, although among the three great cultivation Sacred Lands, belongs to a Demon Sect and is known for being decisive and ruthless in its actions. They have always been the ones killing others, and now that their prestige has been killed by others, they naturally cannot tolerate it. Amidst the clamor within the great hall of Xuanmo Cave, One would think it was a marketplace. This caused the face of the Cave Master sitting in the main seat to darken with rage brewing. "Silence!" The Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave was a middle-aged man, tall in stature, draped in a voluminous black robe, with his untamed hair tossed behind his head, his expression stern and cold. "What are you all shouting about?" "Have you forgotten what we discussed before?" "There was always a certain risk in acting under the very eyes of Emperor Immortal Sect; who is there to blame for capsizing in a gutter?" The Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave spoke coldly. These words immediately quieted the noisy great hall of Xuanmo Cave. "But, Cave Master, we lost over thirty experts this time and even Elder Qianxue has been beheaded. If we don’t respond, how can Xuanmo Cave stand in the Tianqing Mountain Range or in the entire Southern Domain?" An Elder spoke. Upon hearing this, the Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave frowned deeply, speaking more gently, "That old ancestor of Emperor Immortal Sect is still alive and his strength is even more fearsome than that of Lie Tian Heavenly Country’s ancestor. If we press too hard, who’s to say he won’t fight to the bitter end? By then, we would suffer the most. But the arrogance of Emperor Immortal Sect cannot go unanswered by Xuanmo Cave." "However, now is not the time. Let’s first see how Smoke Mist Mountain and Lingxu Sacred Land will act." With these words, everyone ran out of objections. At that moment, someone suddenly reported from outside the hall. "Let him in," the Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave said. Soon, a disciple of Xuanmo Cave stepped into the hall, bowed to everyone, and then said, "Reporting to the Cave Master, Elder Xuanfeng from Smoke Mist Mountain and Elder Qingyun from Luotian Sacred Land have come to visit." Inside the great hall, the elders of Xuanmo Cave looked at each other in surprise. "It seems that Luotian Sacred Land and Smoke Mist Mountain also want to see our actions first," one elder said, narrowing his eyes. "Let them in," said the Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave. "Yes!" seaʀᴄh thё Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The disciple respectfully withdrew from the great hall. Before long, two distinguished-looking old men entered the grand hall of Xuanmo Cave, their steps seemingly accompanied by a gentle breeze, which was quite marvelous. "We pay our respects to the daoist friends of Xuanmo Cave." The two elders entered and saluted the people in the grand hall of Xuanmo Cave. "We pay our respects to the two daoist friends," the elders of Xuanmo Cave returned the greeting with a bow. Only the Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave, seated at a higher position, looked down at the two elders and said slowly, "I wonder what has brought Daoist Xuanfeng and Daoist Qingyun here today?" These two elders were naturally Elder Xuanfeng from Smoke Mist Mountain and Elder Qingyun from Luotian Sacred Land. Upon hearing the Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave’s words, Elder Qingyun from Luotian Sacred Land saluted and said, "Regarding the matter of Wansheng Mountain Arena, I presume Xuanmo Cave has already received the news. I come with the intentions of the Saint Master to ask how Xuanmo Cave intends to handle this affair." "My Smoke Mist Mountain shares the same sentiment as Luotian Sacred Land," Elder Xuanfeng from Smoke Mist Mountain also saluted and said. "Indeed!" Upon hearing the words of Elder Xuanfeng and Elder Qingyun, the elders of Xuanmo Cave thought to themselves. "Then how does Smoke Mist Mountain and Luotian Sacred Land plan to deal with this? After all, this was a matter initially brought up by Luotian Sacred Land," said the Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave, looking at Elder Qingyun and speaking slowly. The matter concerning Emperor Immortal Sect was led by Luotian Sacred Land with both Xuanmo Cave and Smoke Mist Mountain being involved. As for Hong Yunlie, he came into the picture later. Elder Xuanfeng and Elder Qingyun exchanged glances, then said, "Our two factions have decided to seek an explanation from Emperor Immortal Sect and retrieve the Supreme Elder’s remains in passing." "Oh?" The Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Just the two of you?" Elder Xuanfeng and Elder Qingyun nodded slightly and said, "Merely to ask for an explanation, naturally we do not need many people." "Does Xuanmo Cave wish to join us?" they asked. "Who will go?" the Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave asked softly. "Let this old one go," an elder of Xuanmo Cave stood up and saluted the Cave Master, "Cave Master, let this elder handle this matter." "Elder Ma, the matter is yours to attend to," the Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave nodded slightly. "When shall we depart?" Elder Ma looked at Elder Xuanfeng and Elder Qingyun. "We can leave immediately," said Elder Qingyun. "Then let’s go," Elder Ma nodded. "We will take our leave first," said Elder Xuanfeng and Elder Qingyun, bowing to the people of Xuanmo Cave. "Take care," the people of Xuanmo Cave returned the gesture. Before long, the three set off together, heading for Emperor Immortal Sect. After their departure, the grand hall of Xuanmo Cave fell into a gloomy silence. "Can it really be successful?" an elder furrowed his brow. "Whether it’s successful or not, we don’t know, but it’s a good opportunity to see what stance Emperor Immortal Sect will take," another elder pondered. "Then, will those three be in danger?" "That shouldn’t happen, given they’re not heading there to cause trouble for Emperor Immortal Sect, and besides, I doubt Emperor Immortal Sect is arrogant enough to declare war against our three great cultivation Sacred Lands." "..." The crowd began discussing among themselves. Above them, the Cave Master of Xuanmo Cave subtly raised his eyebrows. For some reason, he felt that the people of Emperor Immortal Sect might commit some excessive actions. "I hope it’s just a misperception. If Emperor Immortal Sect really dares to act rashly, then they can’t blame this Cave Master for personally taking action against Emperor Immortal Sect," he thought to himself. Meanwhile, as Elder Ma and the others departed for Emperor Immortal Sect, the sect was also making preparations. After killing the Thousand Blood Demon and others, Ye Xuan predicted that the three major cultivation Sacred Lands would definitely send people, so he had Lu Chengde personally guard the mountain gate. A night passed. As the darkness faded and dawn broke, three figures arrived at the mountain gate of Emperor Immortal Sect.
