Chapter 308: Chapter 224 The World is Full of Fools!_2

"It’s truly pitiful!" Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, exclaimed. "Although our sect mainly consists of warriors from the Lower Nine Streams, compared to them, each of us is a true hero!"

Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, and Senior Brother of Qingyun Sect, Taishi Bao, upon hearing this, whispered praises to Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect:

"Sect Master Zhuge, your strategy is indeed brilliant!"

"Hahaha! Who would have thought that the coarse man Taishu Yiqing would end up shooting himself in the foot, hahaha!"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect responded with a faint smile:

"What’s this? A warrior is just a warrior, brainless and short-sighted. The Lower Nine Streams are just that, nowhere near the stage. Competing with me? He’s still far too green!"

Having addressed all those who doubted him and feeling no rush to deal with Li Ping’an, since Li Ping’an today couldn’t escape his grasp, Sect Master Zhuge Junchen then turned to openly confront Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing:

"Junior Brother Taishu, we have already clarified to everyone about our secret agreement, and we have all made our positions clear. We are willing to share the Imperial Court offering with everyone, but what about your Immeasurable Sect? Huh? Are you going to monopolize it or consider the interests of all Taoist sects under heaven?"

"Sect Master Zhuge, your move is high indeed!"

"Handling Li Ping’an and targeting the entire world while also irritating that Lower Nine Streams brute, Taishu Yiqing. Impressive!"

Mo Liqi, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, and Taishi Bao, Senior Brother of Qingyun Sect, incessantly flattered, admiring Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect for his deep, cunning calculations, manipulating the people of the world at his fingertips.

"Exactly! The Flame Cloud Sect, Heavenly Mist Sect, and Qingyun Sect of the Four Great Noble Paths have agreed to share the Imperial Court offering with us. What does that mean for your Immeasurable Sect?"

"Sect Master Taishu, if you don’t share it with everyone, wouldn’t that be unreasonable?"

"Although this is your Immeasurable Sect’s matter, considering the interests of all Taoist sects under heaven, we think Sect Master Taishu should set an example!"

"Exactly, the other three major sects have set an example, but your Immeasurable Sect can’t be so selfish!"

Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, looked at the foolish and shameless faces of the other Taoist cultivators and couldn’t help but laugh out of exasperation!

"Master, what do we do now? This Zhuge Junchen is too cunning, yet the other sect leaders are short-sighted and shameful. Should we do the same?"

The eldest senior brother of Immeasurable Sect, Xianyu Shu Qinghai, along with the second and third senior brothers and Jia Zhengfeng, asked in unison:

"Master, what should we do now? If we don’t agree, we might become the target of everyone!"

"Hahaha!"

Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, shook his head and laughed while looking at his four naive disciples:

"You guys surely don’t think that people like Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of Flame Cloud Sect, Mo Liqi of Heavenly Mist Sect, Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, and others would actually share the Imperial Court offering with all the Taoist sects under heaven after making internal agreements?"

"I know Old Thief Zhuge Junchen all too well; he became the head of Flame Cloud Sect by relying on deceit and schemes!"

"I can assure you responsibly that Old Fart Junchen of Flame Cloud Sect will absolutely not share the Imperial Court offering with the Taoist cultivators of the world!"

Xianyu Shu Qinghai, the eldest senior brother of Immeasurable Sect, along with the second and third senior brothers and Jia Zhengfeng, asked, puzzled:

"Then why would people like that old rogue Zhuge Junchen of Flame Cloud Sect and others from Heavenly Mist Sect and Qingyun Sect, even the Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao and the Sect Leader of Hehuan Sect, Shangguan Hongzhang, actually agree to this? After all, they have assured all Taoist sects of the world!"

"That’s the brilliance of Old Thief Zhuge!"

Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, patiently explained:

"All Taoist sects are somewhat connected to secular power. Our Immeasurable Sect has close ties with the world’s military generals, while Flame Cloud Sect has dealings with Imperial Court officials and even secretly facilitates their dirty work. Over the years, who knows how many benefits he has reaped from the Imperial Court officials."

"So, he will inevitably hand out peanuts to pacify these ’beggars.’ I can guarantee it! Zhuge Junchen will absolutely not part with his money!"

"The genius cultivator Pei Yuanjing from the Flame Cloud Sect was killed, and Old Zhuge will definitely use the Imperial Court Offering to find someone similar to Pei Yuanjing, which would require a lot of money!"

"No wonder the likes of Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect Mo Liqi, Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, and Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang are so bold. It all makes sense now."

Eldest Senior Brother Xianyu Shu Qinghai of Immeasurable Sect, along with his second and third senior brothers, Jia Zhengfeng, learned of their conspiracy and tricks from their master, but what could they do after learning it? The present situation was what mattered most!

"Master, what should we do now? Surely we don’t have to give up the Imperial Court Offering, do we?"

"No! Absolutely not!"

Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, asserted:

"As a master, I am not stingy. If the likes of Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect Mo Liqi, Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, and Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang were truly willing to bring out the Imperial Court Offering to the Taoist Cultivators of the World, I would naturally be willing as well. But they manipulate and deceive; I will not be fooled by their tricks!"

"Given the circumstances, I can only collude with them!"

After speaking with his disciples, Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, immediately stood up and addressed all the cultivators:

"Since Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect Mo Liqi, Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, and Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang are willing, then I, too, am willing to bring out the Imperial Court Offering to share with the Taoist Cultivators of the World!"

"Good!"

The cultivators once again lauded Taishu Yiqing for his assurance:

"Unexpectedly, the Head of Immeasurable Sect also deeply understands righteousness, truly a role model for us!"

"We thank the Head of Immeasurable Sect!"

"Now, the Taoist Sects of the World can develop!"

"Now, we in the Taoist Sects of the World truly exemplify unity in both damage and glory!"

"This year’s Heavenly Master’s Conference wasn’t a waste at all!"

"Even if we didn’t make it to the finals, we all gained something!"

"Hahaha! This is just right, our Taoist path will inevitably blossom and prosper!"

Listening to the foolish words of the cultivators, the likes of Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect Mo Liqi, Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, and Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hong only scoffed in their hearts:

Didn’t expect these fools were so easy to deceive!

Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, also looked down deep inside on these spineless hypocrites, but he knew, since everyone agreed on the Heavenly Master’s Conference and the predetermined allocation of the Imperial Court Offering, his own Immeasurable Sect was bound to be sidelined!

So, considering his own sect, Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, placed all his hopes on Li Ping’an:

Li Ping’an! It seems you are the only one who can break the deadlock! I hoped before that you would lose, but now you must win!

If the Four Great Noble Paths are to be reassigned, then it’s best to start afresh!

Let everyone compete based on their strength!

Having resolved the matter, Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect did not want to fall out completely with Taishu Yiqing, the Head of the Immeasurable Sect, so he still wanted to give him a chance, then asked again:

"Junior Brother Taishu, it has come to this, are you willing to help me deal with Li Ping’an?"

Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, also noticed that Flame Cloud Sect’s Sect Master Zhuge Junchen wanted to extend an olive branch, but this time he decided to go all out, to thwart the conspiracy of Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, Head of Heavenly Mist Sect Mo Liqi, Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, and he replied firmly:

"Senior Brother Zhuge, don’t look anymore, my words remain the same, Immeasurable Sect will help neither party."
