Chapter 1029: Chapter 641: The Humorous Taiyuan Zhenren_2

The elders of Tianqing Sect were abuzz with discussions, completely unwilling to believe that Taiyuan Zhenren's disciple could surpass the geniuses of the Holy Lands or the Ancient Families.

After all, the geniuses of the Holy Lands and Ancient Families were incomparable to ordinary people.

"Sigh."

Taiyuan Zhenren shook his head, understanding that no matter how much he explained, the fellow elders in the sect would refuse to believe him.

In all these years, Taiyuan Zhenren had never spoken of the disciple he had once taken in, a disciple named Lu Changsheng.

Back then, in the Mount Shu of the Three Thousand Small Worlds, an Immortal Realm powerhouse had sent an Earth Immortal to descend and attempt to kill Lu Changsheng.

Because of this, Taiyuan Zhenren had always believed that someone in the Immortal Realm wanted to eliminate Lu Changsheng. Thus, he avoided mentioning Lu Changsheng's name or seeking information about him, fearing it might bring unnecessary troubles to his disciple.

Even after Taiyuan Zhenren underwent Tribulation and ascended to the Immortal Realm, he had encountered only a handful of geniuses from the Holy Lands and Ancient Cultivator Clans. However, he resolutely believed that Lu Changsheng's talent surpassed theirs.

At Mount Shu, countless geniuses had been defeated by Lu Changsheng, which reinforced Taiyuan Zhenren's unwavering trust in his disciple's aptitude.

The Sect Master of Tianqing Sect merely chuckled, clearly dismissive of Taiyuan Zhenren's tenacity.

It was only natural for a master to view their disciple's talent as unparalleled under the heavens.

However, in the entire Tianqing Sect, there were hardly any disciples whose talent could rival those of the Holy Lands and Ancient Cultivator Clans.

The prowess of those geniuses perhaps even exceeded that of the Sect Master of Tianqing Sect himself.

Tianqing Sect was a sect at the southern foot of Fulong Ridge in the southern region of the Immortal Realm. While it was a first-class sect in that area, within the entirety of the Immortal Realm, it was merely a third-rate sect.

The Sect Master of Tianqing Sect was fully aware of their limitations.

That being said, within their own territory, Tianqing Sect was immensely influential, with only a few sects capable of barely contending against them.

Briefly distracted by Taiyuan Zhenren's words, the Sect Master and elders of Tianqing Sect soon redirected their focus back to the apprentice induction ceremony.

Tianqing Sect's ceremony for recruiting disciples had drawn cultivation geniuses from a radius of tens of millions of miles. Among them were many promising individuals, who, with proper guidance, could at least achieve the level of Loose Immortals.

"Sect Master, something terrible has happened!"

At this moment, an elder of Tianqing Sect rode a Flying Sword into the sect from outside, arriving at the Sect Master's side and delivering a whispered report.

This sudden development not only caught Taiyuan Zhenren and the other elders' attention but also drew the gazes of the candidates being tested for their aptitude below.

If it could cause such panic in a Tianqing Sect elder and alarm the Sect Master, the matter was undoubtedly of grave concern.

Taiyuan Zhenren's heart suddenly raced with an ominous premonition.

"The Guiyi Sect has attacked one of our branch halls! Not a single member survived! Outrageous!"

The Sect Master of Tianqing Sect erupted in fury, slamming the armrest of his chair, which immediately crumbled to dust.

"The Guiyi Sect dared to launch a surprise attack on our branch hall?"

"It seems Guiyi Sect has grown tired of living. Last time, when they contested with us over a Spirit Vein, their Sect Leader was gravely injured by our Sect Master. We spared their lives, yet now they dare to entangle with us again."

"The branch hall was massacred—Tianqing Sect cannot turn a blind eye to this. How else will we maintain our authority?"

"We will strike immediately and annihilate the Guiyi Sect!"

The elders of Tianqing Sect were indignant, their voices brimming with rage.

Tianqing Sect was the strongest sect in the region, while Guiyi Sect was second-tier. No one could have anticipated Guiyi Sect's suicidal move to assault Tianqing Sect's branch hall and slaughter all its members, blatantly challenging Tianqing Sect's honor.

"Is Tianqing Sect going to war with Guiyi Sect?"

"Does this mean the apprenticeship ceremony will be halted?"

"If we join Tianqing Sect, won't we end up as cannon fodder?"

The candidates undergoing aptitude testing began to feel apprehensive and uncertain.

Never did they expect that in the midst of the induction ceremony, a major conflict between Tianqing Sect and Guiyi Sect would be imminent.

While the strength of Tianqing Sect was undoubtedly superior to Guiyi Sect, the latter still had powerhouses at the Immortal Emperor Realm and Daluo Golden Immortal Realm.

A clash between the two sects would inevitably result in heavy casualties on both sides.

If they failed to exterminate the Guiyi Sect completely, any surviving Daluo Golden Immortals from Guiyi Sect would pose an ongoing threat to Tianqing Sect disciples venturing out for training in the future.

The Sect Master of Tianqing Sect, seeing the growing unease among the crowd, raised his voice to restore order: "The Guiyi Sect is but a minor nuisance. The induction ceremony will proceed as planned. Those who join the sect need not participate in the conflict with Guiyi Sect. I will personally resolve this."

Hearing this, the candidates finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Sect Master's resolute tone suggested he had full confidence in defeating Guiyi Sect.

"When the ceremony concludes, everyone is to convene in the main hall."

After pacifying the crowd, the Sect Master discreetly transmitted orders to all elders at the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm and above.

Amid the tense atmosphere, the induction ceremony of Tianqing Sect came to an end. The Sect Master and many senior elders vanished from their seats.

Taiyuan Zhenren made his way to the Tianqing Sect's grand hall. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

The sect had over forty elders at the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm or above—a dominating presence in the region, making Tianqing Sect a veritable superpower.

As long as they didn't provoke the Holy Lands or the Ancient Cultivator Clans, Tianqing Sect could remain prosperous for generations.

"The Guiyi Sect has slaughtered our branch hall. If we fail to respond, years of accumulated prestige will crumble to dust. Therefore, we must annihilate Guiyi Sect."

"Some elders will stay behind to guard the sect against a potential counterattack."

"The rest of you will accompany me to storm Guiyi Sect and capture their Sect Leader."

"Does anyone object?"

The Sect Master of Tianqing Sect, his expression dark and grim, clearly regarded Guiyi Sect as having crossed his bottom line.

As the dominant sect in the region, Tianqing Sect had long been unparalleled, with other sects showing deference. It had been a long time since they had suffered such a blow.

"..."

Taiyuan Zhenren hesitated.

"Taiyuan, if you have something to say, speak."

"Yes. My disciple was a very cautious person..."

Taiyuan Zhenren began to reminisce.

"Huh?"

The elders of Tianqing Sect looked at him in astonishment.

Why was Taiyuan Zhenren suddenly reminiscing about his disciple? How did his former disciple have anything to do with the current crisis?

Taiyuan Zhenren continued, "Before taking action, he was always prudent, often saying that if something seemed abnormal, there must be scheming involved. If he were here, he certainly wouldn't rush into retaliating against Guiyi Sect. Guiyi Sect is undoubtedly weaker than us, and during the last contest for the Spirit Vein, even their Sect Leader was no match for ours. Guiyi Sect's Sect Leader surely understands the Sect Master's superior strength. Yet, despite this, they boldly attacked our branch hall. Such reckless behavior is extraordinarily unusual. It is possible that Guiyi Sect has some hidden strategy behind this act. I urge the Sect Master to remain calm, to first consider their motives before devising a plan to deal with Guiyi Sect."

"What you've said is not without reason."

The Sect Master of Tianqing Sect, reminded by Taiyuan Zhenren, also sensed something strange about the matter.

There was no doubt that Tianqing Sect's might exceeded that of Guiyi Sect.

Even Guiyi Sect's Sect Leader was inferior in cultivation.

But for Guiyi Sect to dare behave so brazenly, it was hard to believe they had no ulterior motives.

"Taiyuan Zhenren makes a valid point. We almost fell into Guiyi Sect's trap!"

"But what could Guiyi Sect possibly have up their sleeves to act so insolently?"

"What should our next steps be?"

The other elders of Tianqing Sect, calming down, began to realize the complexities of the situation.

If Guiyi Sect had some secret ace in their hand, their audacity in attacking Tianqing Sect would make sense. In such a case, Tianqing Sect couldn't afford to strike rashly.

But if Tianqing Sect chose not to retaliate, how would other sects perceive their authority as the regional hegemon?

Perhaps, other sects might even align themselves with the seemingly stronger Guiyi Sect.

"In my opinion, we should spread rumors and unite with other sects to besiege Guiyi Sect. By doing so, we can uncover their hidden trump card while increasing our chances of success."

From Lu Changsheng, Taiyuan Zhenren had learned the value of prudence—even as the strongest regional sect, it was better to lead a coalition to confront Guiyi Sect collectively.
