Chapter 1106: 1014 The Misjudgment of the Heavenly Ghost Sect

As long as they remain alive, the Myriad Beasts Sect will continue to exist.

Of course, Shen Long can still seek help from the Ziyang Sect. The Wei Family is unlikely to personally intervene. It’s soldier versus soldier, general versus general; a major power directly dealing with a small sect would be a disgraceful act.

"Yes, Master."

Shen Lang agreed wholeheartedly.

In this war, the Myriad Beasts Sect gained significant profits. Shen Lang and Wang Changyao oversaw Golden Leaf Island, while Shen Long and Chu Buyu presided over Myriad Beasts Island.

"We’ve acquired many materials from the Mysterious Spirit Sect’s treasure vault for refining Immortal Artifacts and Immortal Puppets, enough to outfit fifty True Immortals. Allocate them to enhance their strength."

Chu Buyu instructed.

The Mysterious Spirit Sect controlled several First Rank Immortal Mines, and their treasure vault contained numerous First Rank refining materials, including twelve pieces of Yuyang Profound Crystals.

The Mysterious Spirit Sect was far wealthier than the Qian Family; otherwise, Qin Xue wouldn’t be carrying three sets of Low Grade Immortal Artifacts with her.

"Yes, Mistress."

Su Changfeng responded promptly.

He drew out a shimmering Law Disk, activated a spell, and said with a frown, "Master, a True Immortal Cultivator by the name of Dongfang Yi has come to visit, specifically asking for you."

"Dongfang Yi?"

Shen Long furrowed his brows.

They had interacted with Dongfang Yi at the Azure Dragon Law Assembly, purchasing First Rank Immortal Wine from him.

"I’ll go meet him. Stay alert."

Shen Long instructed, transforming into a streak of escape light that tore through the sky, flying toward the outskirts of the island.

Dongfang Yi stood in mid-air with a handsome young man in a green robe. The young man possessed the cultivation level of True Immortal Early Stage.

"Taoist Friend Dongfang, who might this gentleman be?"

Shen Long’s face was marked by vigilance as his gaze landed on the green-robed young man.

"This is my descendant, Dongfang Yu."

Dongfang Yi explained.

"Taoist Friend Dongfang, what brings you here?"

Shen Long inquired.

Dongfang Yi and Dongfang Yu’s timing raised alarms; with two armies at war, their sudden visit made Shen Long wary.

"I would like to request Taoist Friend Shen to refine a batch of Qianyang Jade Divine Pills. Here is the payment. May I ask if it is convenient for you?"

Dongfang Yi spoke cautiously, shaking his sleeve as a green Storage Bracelet and a green Jade Slip shot out, flying toward Shen Long.

Shen Long expanded his Divine Sense, scanning the items multiple times without detecting any abnormalities, and exhaled a sigh of relief.

With a flick of his wrist, Shen Ben emerged from the Spirit Beast Bracelet and caught the Storage Bracelet and Jade Slip.

"Master, the bracelet contains numerous Immortal Elixirs, including a Green Marrow Jade Lotus over 300,000 years old and a Profound Jade Primordial Soul Ganoderma over 200,000 years old. The Jade Slip records the Qianyang Jade Divine Pill, which can enhance Divine Sense strength."

Shen Ben communicated via sound transmission.

"Taoist Friend Dongfang, if your goal is simply to strengthen your Divine Sense, isn’t there Immortal Pills available on the market for this purpose?"

Shen Long asked, puzzled.

"We are cultivating a Divine Sense technique that specifically requires the assistance of Qianyang Jade Divine Pills."

Dongfang Yi explained.

Shen Long nodded in understanding and said, "Fine. Once the pills are refined, I’ll have someone deliver them to the marketplace in Tianyue. Wait for the news there."

"Wonderful. Thank you very much, Taoist Friend Shen."

Dongfang Yi could barely contain his joy, his face glowing with gratitude.

"It’s no trouble. By the way, if you come across news regarding the True Spirit Five-Colored Peacock, I would appreciate it if you let me know."

Shen Long added.

He didn’t particularly value Dongfang Yi’s payment but saw an opportunity to establish a useful channel of information.

"No problem at all. We’ll take our leave now."

Dongfang Yi patted his chest in assurance and left with Dongfang Yu.

Shen Long watched their departing figures, exhaled a breath of relief, and returned to Myriad Beasts Island with Shen Ben.

After hearing the situation, Chu Buyu said, "Send someone to inform Chu Yun to investigate their backgrounds."

"Naturally. Let’s wait until the war settles. Hopefully, no True Immortal attacks occur during this time. Madam, quickly refine the Tianji Stone into a Low Grade Immortal Artifact. With it, Wang Rui can assist with deductions and divinations."

Shen Long spoke solemnly.

Chu Buyu nodded, saying, "Having a Diviner on our side is certainly advantageous. Let’s focus on this after the war. For now, it’s not the right time."

After a brief chat, Shen Long stepped into a Practice Room, consumed a Peacock Pill, and began cultivating.

The Qinglian True Flame he wielded had devoured a cluster of First Rank Immortal Flame but had not yet fully assimilated it, rendering Shen Long temporarily unable to carry out alchemy.

Soon, multicolored rays of light emanated from his body, enveloping him entirely.

Profound Yin Island, Heavenly Ghost Sect Headquarters.

Ning Chu, Chen Yin, and Liu Ling sat in a Green Stone Pavilion, engaged in discussion.

"The Tianyue Sect has mobilized substantial cultivation resources, indicating an escalation in the war. Junior Brother Chen, has the insider sent back any messages?"

Ning Chu asked with a frown.

They had no insight into the Tianyue Sect’s strategic plans, leaving them to react passively.

Chen Yin nodded, saying, "He’s sent back intelligence indicating that the Tianyue Sect initiated the war for a specific item related to comprehending the Laws, though the details are unclear."

"Given his position, gleaning this much information is already commendable. This suggests the item might be in the Wei Family’s possession or with the Yin Corpse Sect."

Liu Ling analyzed.

"Not necessarily. It’s likely in the hands of one of our subsidiary forces. Investigate which affiliated power has shown a sudden surge in strength, particularly those with higher occurrences of breakthroughs in Special Laws." Ning Chu spoke gravely, pulling out a golden Law Disk, activating a spell, and making a series of gestures.

"Senior Brother Chen, the insider doesn’t know what the item is? A Dao Pill? An Immortal Artifact? Or perhaps an Immortal Talisman?"

Liu Ling pressed for clarity.

"He doesn’t know. Asking more would expose him. However, a disciple from the Executive Hall of the Tianyue Sect inadvertently revealed that obtaining this item significantly simplifies the process of comprehending the Laws. I suspect it’s an Immortal Artifact or some similar object. If it were a Dao Pill, it would simply be consumed, and the Tianyue Sect is perfectly capable of refining First or Second Grade Dao Pills."

Chen Yin analyzed.

"Over the past million years, the Wei Family has produced several True Immortals adept at multiple Special Laws. The item is highly likely in their possession."

Ning Chu stated.

"Time is of the essence. I’ll head to the Wei Family immediately and demand they hand over the item."

Liu Ling said decisively.

"No, doing so would expose the insider’s identity. We..." Ning Chu’s words were cut short as he drew out a black Law Disk, activated a spell, and his face darkened.

"The Wei Family’s ancestral grounds, Xuanyan Island, have been breached. Not a single soul survived. Wei Chengyang and two Golden Immortals rushed to the front lines and perished completely. The Tianyue Sect acted swiftly."

Ning Chu said grimly.

The Tianyue Sect had expanded the war to divert attention, while their true aim was to seize the item in the Wei Family’s possession.

"Did they personally attack Xuanyan Island?"

Liu Ling asked.

"Unclear. There wasn’t a single survivor—no time even for a distress signal. Wei Chengyang and the two Golden Immortals were also killed at the front, with Wei Chengyang’s Nascent Soul captured and the two Golden Immortals completely annihilated. The attackers were Golden Immortal Cultivators reportedly from the Ziyang Sect, but they didn’t reveal themselves publicly."

Ning Chu explained.

In his view, the Tianyue Sect aimed to eliminate witnesses to prevent information from leaking.

"So, the Golden Immortals responsible were sent by the Tianyue Sect under the guise of the Ziyang Sect. How should we proceed now?"

Liu Ling frowned.

"What’s done is done. The item is already in Tianyue Sect’s possession, and we can’t retrieve it. However, we must retaliate to ensure they don’t view us as weaklings. Direct the Golden Pig Tribe to lead an assault on the Ziyang Sect."

Ning Chu ordered.

"Understood, Sect Leader Senior Brother. I’ll immediately contact Taoist Friend Jin of the Golden Pig Tribe."

Liu Ling accepted the command and left to carry it out.
