Chapter 307: Chapter 224 The World’s Fools!

"Do not assume that because we are weak, you can act like this!"

"Flame Cloud Sect, Heavenly Mist Sect, Qingyun Sect, The Four Great Noble Paths, as well as the Imperial Court Offering slots, we want them too, but we know we are not strong enough, we have never blamed you for that, but you should at least ensure fairness and transparency!"

"You actually secretly predetermined the spots for The Four Great Noble Paths as well as the Imperial Court Offering! Absolutely shameless!"

"Sect Master Zhuge, we need a reasonable explanation!"

Under the murky scheming and misdirection of Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, other cultivators directed their anger towards Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, Senior Brother of Kunlun Sect, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Senior Brother of Qingyun Sect, Taishi Bao.

This move not only helped Li Ping’an share some of the pressure but also made the already chaotic situation even more muddled.

"This Taishu Yiqing is quite the good person!"

Li Ping’an had not anticipated that the Head of Immeasurable Sect would tear off his mask with Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, Senior Brother of Kunlun Sect, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, and Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect for this reason.

Taishu Yiqing, the Head of Immeasurable Sect, could have gone through official channels to make Li Ping’an owe them a huge favor, but he still chose to speak out.

Although Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, tore off his mask with the leaders of other sects for the benefit of his own sect,

he indeed helped Li Ping’an indirectly!

This was something Li Ping’an could not deny.

Just for this reason alone, Taishu Yiqing, Head of Immeasurable Sect, is definitely a respectable person!

Definitely a true man!

Definitely a warrior with integrity!

"Warrior of the Lower Nine Streams?"

Li Ping’an scornfully spat on the ground:

"I find you people to be the most disgusting! At least warriors hold true to righteousness!"

...

"Uncle-master Zhuge, what do we do now?"

Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi frowned and inquired in a low voice:

"If we do not give these worthless ones an explanation now, they will certainly not help you capture Li Ping’an!"

"Simple!"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect squinted his eyes and disdainfully whispered to the Sect Leaders and cultivators of various sects:

"These people are all fools who won’t wake up early if there’s no profit, since Taishu Yiqing, this warrior from the Lower Nine Streams, has already made the matter clear, we might as well take out some scraps and leftovers from our own sects to dispose of these ’beggar’ cultivators, how about that?"

"Alright!"

Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi nodded in agreement; after all, the Imperial Court Offering was a big sum of money, and it didn’t matter if they gave away a little bit to these people.

"My master instructed me before he left to put Uncle-master Zhuge’s commands above all else, so whatever you say, Qingyun Sect will most definitely fully support!"

Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect also approved of this plan to win people’s hearts!

"Great!"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect immediately explained to everyone:

"To be frank, among The Four Great Noble Paths, only Flame Cloud Sect, Qingyun Sect, and Heavenly Mist Sect have considered that we cannot continue to monopolize the Imperial Court offerings, as this would lead to our sects becoming increasingly dominant, while other sects grow weaker and potentially lose their lineages!"

"What Taishu Yiqing from Immeasurable Sect said is correct! Our families indeed have been privately trying to prearrange the spots for The Four Great Noble Paths and the Imperial Court Offering!"

"But the reason we did this is that after predetermining, we plan to distribute the gains from the Imperial Court Offering evenly among all Taoist Sects Under Heaven!"

"Our actions may seem unfair and selfish, but the ultimate goal is for the benefit of everyone!"

"You see, with only four families receiving the Imperial Court Offering, if we wanted to distribute it to everyone, the Imperial Court would not agree!"

"So, we conspired in secret, hoping to achieve this great deed!"

"If you don’t agree with this, fine, we won’t prearrange anymore, but then none of you will get part of the Imperial Court Offering!"

"The Four Great Noble Paths are just a name, all vanity, I believe that what is truly beneficial is what you can hold in your hand, such tangible benefits have value!"

"So, do you still oppose our prearrangement now? Huh?"

The other Sect Masters and cultivators had not expected that they could unexpectedly benefit from this secretive plotting, and they knew that Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect was deceitful and there must be other sinister schemes behind it; but now that they were assured that they could gain future benefits, they immediately rushed to heap praise on Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, and Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect:

"Who would have thought Sect Master Zhuge could be so selfless, considering for the welfare of All Taoist Sects Under Heaven, truly the foremost among the All Taoist Sects Under Heaven!"

"Sect Master Zhuge’s consideration for All Taoist Sects Under Heaven is truly exemplary for us all!"

"We misunderstood Sect Master Zhuge, we beg your forgiveness!"

"Although Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi is a female cultivator, her grasp of the greater good is truly an example for all female cultivators in the world!"

"Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, though young, can be so selfless; truly admiring!"

"Since things are clarified, then it’s settled!"

"We will still follow Sect Master Zhuge’s lead!"

"Hmph!"

Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, also had not expected Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect to be so shameless, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, and Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect to be so hypocritical, and that the people of All Taoist Sects Under Heaven were so opportunistic!
