Chapter 759: Chapter 325: One Sword Overturning City (Request for Subscription)

Chu Xisheng was pushed by Chu Yunyun into the boundless sea of clouds, and inside the Dao Yi Hall, the lights were still brightly lit.

Li Changsheng was entertaining visitors from the Extreme Sword Sect of Yun State at this location.

After setting up a suitable place for the avatar of Wood Sword Immortal and building his Holy Temple, Li Changsheng’s busyness had just begun.

The so-called early awareness of the cicada despite windless conditions.

When Wood Sword Immortal sever Time Order to "See Eternity," any Martial Cultivator above Third Grade could sense it.

The mishap in the Time Secret Realm could also be known by all parties with just a little inquiry.

Therefore, less than three hours after the incident, Formless Divine Mountain saw guests arrive like clouds, making the entrance as busy as a marketplace.

Not only Ku Cangsheng was wise in the world.

The powers that had foreseen major changes in the immediate vicinity of You State and the Northern situation extended far beyond just ’Divine Desolation Eternal Youth City’.

Now in the Guest House, the visitors waiting for Li Changsheng were already more than two hundred fifty in number.

They were either the heads of a sect or clan, or leaders of some major forces and large trading firms on Jianghu, or at the very least, Supreme Elders and their deputies.

Even the governors from nearby You State and the Three Great Royal Mansions had also sent envoys to congratulate him, not to mention those Second and Third Grade noble families from the local area.

Ku Cangsheng of Divine Desolation Eternal Youth City had indeed arrived earliest, but proximity does not necessarily imply closeness.

Although the Extreme Sword Sect was a Third Grade Sect, it had always been submissive to the Formless Divine Sect, being one of its staunchest allies in Yun State.

So when the Sect Master of the Extreme Sword Sect personally came to congratulate him, Li Changsheng, despite his myriad engagements, had to find time to meet him as a sign of respect.

Forces like the Extreme Sword Sect were the cornerstone of the Formless Divine Sect’s efforts in Suppressing the North.

As for ’Divine Desolation Eternal Youth City,’ why would Li Changsheng care what they thought?

No matter how warm or courteous he was to Ku Cangsheng, Divine Desolation Eternal Youth City would not respect the Formless Divine Sect any more, nor be more obedient, nor restrain their ambitions.

Correspondingly, even if Li Changsheng neglected or even humiliated Divine Desolation Eternal Youth City, this Second Grade Mystic Sect would not risk annihilation by betraying their alliance.

In the Dao Yi Hall, Li Changsheng had a confidential discussion with the Sect Master of the Extreme Sword Sect for half a moment, and then personally saw him out.

"Senior, rest assured, during the days when my Formless Divine Sect was surrounded by enemies on all sides, we never let the Extreme Sword Sect suffer, and we will not now. The matter Senior has requested, I will have someone arrange it later. The position of Inspector of Yun State indeed needs a change of personnel, and we have no reason to tolerate this person any longer," Li Changsheng said.

The Sect Master of the Extreme Sword Sect, named Ma Tayan, was a cold-faced old man in his seventies.

Joy flashed in his eyes, yet his features remained as cold as stone: "The credibility of the Formless Divine Sect is something I absolutely trust. Today, you have many guests, and I will not cause further disturbance. However, before I leave, I still want to say that presently, Divine Desolation Eternal Youth City, Tieshan Qin Family, and Heavenly Medicine Pavilion leading seven forces, indeed pose a significant threat to us.

In the past, when the Formless Divine Sect was restricted by the court, it was excusable for it had no strength left; but now that you have the protection of Wood Sword Immortal, you must not be merciful or lenient. With the northern demon calamity impending, if we cannot wipe out these threats before it arrives, I will be truly uneasy. These are my heartfelt words, please forgive my boldness, Brother Li!"

Li Changsheng solemnly bowed to Ma Tayan: "Senior, how can these be called bold words? They are indeed precious advices. Li Changsheng will definitely bear them in mind and will not disappoint Senior."

Ma Tayan couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction: "Should your Formless Divine Sect decide to take action, my Extreme Sword Sect is willing to be the first to strike. Just a single token from you, and Extreme Sword Sect can mobilize three thousand Swordsmen to join the Formless Divine Sect in battle within a day."

Li Changsheng was also very pleased.

He let the Teaching Institute Grand Elder, Qingxuzi, personally escort Ma Tayan down the mountain, then stood at the temple gate, watching the Sect Master of the Extreme Sword Sect leave.

When the figure of Ma Tayan disappeared from sight, the Disciplinary Court Master, Lu Shouyang, spoke with a stern face: "According to the information gathered by the ’Sky Listening Institute,’ in recent years, the Extreme Sword Sect has had frequent contact with the court."

Li Changsheng chuckled wryly: "In the Northern lands, there are many sects in contact with the court. Unable to support ourselves, it is inevitable to let friends become estranged. Them seeking a way out is only human nature. We judge by deeds, not intentions; as long as the Extreme Sword Sect has not wronged us to date, they are our friends."

He then grew thoughtful: "Has Brother Mu from Sky Listening Institute returned yet?"

Lu Shouyang shook his head: "Brother Mu is still at sea. Recently, there have been frequent disturbances in the Extreme East Ice City. ’One Sword Overturning City’ Wen Zhiyi may have already awakened. He is gathering information there and can’t leave for the time being. In fact, Sect Master, if you want to inquire about Qin Muge’s life and death, sending a token would suffice; there’s no need to specifically call him back."

"One Sword Overturning City Wen Zhiyi—"

Li Changsheng frowned deeply, then sighed: "Truly, when the tree desires stillness but the wind will not cease, one trouble follows another. Once that woman wakes up, where will her sword’s edge point?"

This was an enmity from nine hundred years ago, not only a major concern of the Daning Dynasty but also a trouble for the Six Great Divine Sects.

"The matter of Qin Muge’s life and death is of great importance. There are some matters I still want to clarify in person."

Li Changsheng said this and then turned to re-enter the hall, ready to meet the next visitor.

With more than three hundred fifty people waiting in the Guest House, and even more expected to arrive tomorrow, Li Changsheng, although not needed to meet them all personally, planned to have some of the meetings delegated to the Grand Elders. However, at least thirty percent of them he must meet himself.
