Chapter 1339: 1339
“Reporting to Protector Zhuo, a secret letter has come from the Xuantian Dao Sect’s side . ” Within a private room, an elder bowed and presented Zhuo Tianxiang an envelope .
Zhuo Tianxiang opened it and gave it a read . After that, he dismissed the elder and returned to a deeper room . This room actually had a small transportation formation .
He activated it and arrived in a luxurious hall . In it, four elders were sitting with their eyes closed .
“Disciple Tianxiang greets Grand Elders . ” Zhuo Tianxiang immediately bowed to the four elders .
“Tianxiang, there’s no need to be so polite . What’s been happening in the Eastern Xuan Region?” asked one of the elders kindly .
“Reporting to Grand Elder, the Eastern Xuan Region has returned to calm . Disciple has already arranged for everything, and the disturbance has calmed down . Furthermore, due to this matter, disciple spent some resources as compensation to the sects who lost experts to the Xuantian Dao Sect . In exchange, their unity is even greater than before,” reported Zhuo Tianxiang .
That Grand Elder nodded . “Tianxiang, I trust the way you handle things . The matter of the Xuantian Dao Sect isn’t your fault . If we have to blame someone, we can only blame that useless Dan Sheng . He actually ruined such an easy thing, and you had to go wipe his bottom for him . ”
“Disciple also failed . I’m ashamed,” said Zhuo Tianxiang modestly .
In truth, the Xuantian Dao Sect’s matter truly wasn’t Zhuo Tianxiang’s fault . By the time he had taken over it, it was too late . Furthermore, there had been many details that his predecessor had known but he hadn’t, causing him to be at a complete loss to do anything to Long Chen .
“Yes, to not be arrogant or prideful is correct . Are there any movements from the Xuantian Dao Sect?” asked the Grand Elder .
“The Xuantian Dao Sect seems to have run into a problem . They are currently looking all over to buy a Heavenly Qilin Soul Returning Fruit . They’ve even sent some disguised disciples over to secretly purchase the Nine Revolution Soul Replenishing Pill . As reported by the eyes I have in the Xuantian Dao Sect, the Xuantian Tower violently fluctuated several times during this short period . According to my guess, there are two possibilities: one is that Long Chen’s Underworld Soul Ghost Curse has flared up and the Xuantian Tower is unable to completely suppress it . The other possibility is that the Xuantian Tower is attempting to forcibly remove the curse for Long Chen . Either case is very dangerous for Long Chen . And the fact that the Xuantian Dao Sect is trying to secretly purchase the Heavenly Qilin Soul Returning Fruit and the Nine Revolution Soul Replenishing Pill proves that he truly is in trouble . His soul has likely been damaged . Moreover, this Underworld Soul Ghost Curse was condensed by the life energy of many Corrupt experts . Let alone a Foundation Forging disciple, even a Life Star expert would definitely die . Although the Xuantian Tower is powerful, Long Chen’s cultivation base is still too low . The chances of it removing the curse from Long Chen are next to zero,” said Zhuo Tianxiang .
The Underworld Soul Ghost Curse was one of the Corrupt path’s most insidious curses . After considering that Gui Yan had sacrificed so many experts and even stripped Life Star experts of their vitality to power it, there was no need to doubt its power .
This curse was not a poison . It had no cure . Once struck by it, the curse would sink into a person’s blood, body, bones, and soul, closely entwining with every part of them .
Each time the curse flared, it would grow stronger . If you suppressed it once, the second time it would be twice as strong . That was why Zhuo Tianxiang guessed that the Xuantian Tower was no longer able to fully suppress it .
In truth, this was just a move by Li Tianxuan . It was to make everyone think that Long Chen was still in the Xuantian Dao Sect and that he was in grave danger .
“Those afflicted by the Underworld Soul Ghost Curse are essentially unable to remove it without the Corrupt path’s unique secret arts . That little fellow Long Chen probably won’t be able to last much longer . How regretful . He likely has some large secrets . Sigh . . . Well, it doesn’t matter .
“Right now, our situation in Pill Valley isn’t very secure . Elder Bishi’s sudden death is queer . He still had plenty of longevity left, and there were no oddities with his body . It’s just that the flame of his soul was extinguished,” sighed a Grand Elder .
“Could it be that someone was secretly scheming against Elder Bishi?” said Zhuo Tianxiang after a moment’s hesitation .
“Don’t randomly make guesses!” chided a Grand Elder .
“Yes, disciple knows his mistake!”
The previous Grand Elder said, “Those fellows are hidebound and refuse to advance, but they definitely wouldn’t do such a thing . Having disciples fight for authority is already their limit . Furthermore, Elder Bishi’s death came with no warning or any sign of a struggle . It couldn’t be caused by an external force . Right now, the only possibility is that his Yuan Spirit dissipated in his attempt to attack a higher realm . ”
Although that was their only guess, was that really possible? By the time a person reached Elder Bishi’s realm, they would always prepare everything and have guards before attacking higher realms . How could he have rashly attempted such a thing without telling anyone?
These questions could only rot in Zhuo Tianxiang’s stomach . He didn’t dare to say anything for fear of being scolded again .
“Originally, five of the Grand Elders were on our side . Now we’re left with four, and our authority has also dropped . So, Tianxiang, you have to work hard on the side of the Divine Pill Hall,” said the Grand Elder .
“Yes, disciple is dealing with it . I’ve already placed several chess pieces in the neutral power that are starting to show their use . Furthermore, that child Long San’s display is not bad . If he’s properly groomed, he’ll become a powerful piece, and we also have geniuses like Yanxue and Dongze . They are absolutely capable of competing against the Pill Fairy and the others . The current situation in the Divine Pill Hall is gradually shifting in our favor,” said Zhuo Tianxiang .
“Alright, then that’s good . Just focus on the Divine Pill Hall and don’t rush things . After all, we’re currently at a disadvantage, so above all else, we need stability . As for the matter of the Heaven Devouring Forest, we’ve given them a warning . You did well on your way through it . We can’t let them get used to being arrogant . For now, let the Eastern Xuan Region stay as is . After all, the Xuantian Dao Sect and Heaven Splitting Battle Sect are ancient sects . If we force things and put them in their place, it will cause panic . In the long run, it’s not worth it . Furthermore, those old fellows definitely won’t consent to using martial power . Just let them continue crawling for a while!” said the Grand Elder .
