Chapter 639: 548 Yinluo Sect (Request for Monthly Pass)_1

The Yinluo Mountain Range, composed of millions of large and small peaks, stretches over a hundred trillion miles.

More than a hundred thousand years ago, the Yinluo True Monarch founded the Yinluo Sect here. After over a hundred thousand years of development, the Yinluo Sect controlled territories spanning several hundred trillion miles, boasting several Unity Cultivators as if a hegemon in its own right.

Deep within the mountain range stood a black palace emanating a chilling Yin Qi. The plaque above read three large characters: "Yinluo Hall".

A corpulent elder in a black robe sat on the main seat, his gaze dark and brooding, while a tall, thin young man in a green robe was reporting to the elder.

"Sect Leader Brother, if what the Jiang Family says is true, we must take that place for ourselves. We can’t let the Qianling Sect monopolize it. Feathered Wing True Monarch was renowned back in the day, and his possessions are surely not few,"

said the green-robed young man.

Lin Ye, head of the Yinluo Sect’s Information Hall, at the middle stage of Void Refinement.

"The Jiang Family told us the news early on. How could there be so much trouble? It’s only because they couldn’t withstand the pressure that they thought to report to us, huh."

The black-robed elder spoke with a grim face.

Zhang Mi, Sect Leader of the Yinluo Sect, at the late stage of Void Refinement.

"They wanted to hog it all for themselves, which is understandable. Our sect also monopolized a great Secret Realm and obtained a huge amount of resources, allowing us to develop. Now is not the time for recriminations."

Lin Ye spoke in defense of the Jiang Family.

"Your two concubines are members of the Jiang Family, so I can understand why you’re speaking for them. However, I hope you realize that the interests of our sect come before the Jiang Family. You didn’t know about this, did you?"

Zhang Mi asked with a frown.

Lin Ye shivered slightly and quickly explained, "Sect Leader Brother, I have taken many benefits from the Jiang Family, but I still understand what’s more important. If I had known about this matter, I would have acted to break the prohibition long ago."

"If you had knowledge and didn’t report, it’s not just about losing your position as head of the Information Hall; your life would be at stake. You know Master Uncle Luo despises those who betray the sect’s interests the most."

Zhang Mi said with underlying meaning.

"I dare to swear on my inner demons that I absolutely had no knowledge of it."

Lin Ye stated solemnly.

"I’ve already sent people to contact the Blood Flame Sect and the Qi Family. Relying solely on our own strength, it will be hard to take that place. A drawn-out war with the Qianling Sect would be troublesome. Bringing in the Blood Flame Sect and the Qi Family would exert greater pressure on the Qianling Sect."

Zhang Mi stated gravely.

The Blood Flame Sect and the Qi Family are allies of the Yinluo Sect, and they also have disputes with the Qianling Sect.

"Sect Leader Brother is insightful. Who shall lead the team on this matter?"

Lin Ye asked curiously.

"You are in charge of intelligence; this matter doesn’t concern you. I already have a candidate in mind, and she has arrived."

No sooner had Zhang Mi finished speaking than a gust of Yin wind blew through, and a voluptuous woman in a black dress appeared in the hall, her presence exuding an intense Yin Qi.

"Junior Sister Xu, you are aware of the situation. This mission is yours to lead. There’s only one requirement, do not allow the Qianling Sect to monopolize that Secret Realm,"

Zhang Mi said.

"Sect Leader Brother, isn’t it supposed to be Feathered Wing True Monarch’s cave dwelling that we should be monopolizing?"

Lin Ye asked, puzzled.

"Who has entered the Secret Realm? Who can prove it’s Feathered Wing True Monarch’s cave dwelling? Don’t cause a commotion over nothing, haven’t there been enough examples in the past? To clash with the Qianling Sect over a Secret Realm whose value is uncertain would be a losing proposition. It’s enough if we can get a share. That’s the bottom line. Of course, it would be best if we could monopolize it,"

Zhang Mi explained slowly.

The Yinluo Sect’s bottom line was to monopolize the Secret Realm if possible but, at the least, ensure that the Qianling Sect did not monopolize it.

"Leave this matter to me! Sect Leader Brother, I’ll take care of it perfectly."

The woman in the black dress spoke up, her voice sweet.

Xu Jiaojiao, at the middle stage of Void Refinement.

"I trust Junior Sister Xu. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have assigned you this task. You may head to the Qingli Mountain Range immediately,"

Zhang Mi directed.

"Yes, Sect Leader Brother,"

Xu Jiaojiao agreed, her body glowing with black light as she transformed into a gust of Yin wind and disappeared.

······

In the Qianling Sect, a garden where birds sang and flowers fragranced, Mo Bingbing and a burly man in a yellow robe sat in the pavilion, as Shen Long was reporting to them.

Mo Bingbing held a Nascent Soul in her hand, her willow-shaped eyebrows tightly knit.

"Junior Brother Li, I’ll leave this matter to you to handle! You go ahead and lead the team there first, and I’ll send someone to use the large Messaging Array to contact the Nine Flames Sect and the Li Family for support," Mo Bingbing said.

Mo Bingbing spoke.

"Senior Sister Mo, do we really need the Nine Flames Sect and the Li Family to step in? Wouldn’t it be better if we kept the secret realm to ourselves?" the yellow-robed man questioned doubtfully.

Li Dong, in the middle stage of Void Refinement.

"If the message hadn’t leaked, we could keep it to ourselves, but now that it has, the Yinluo Sect will definitely get involved. It’s a bit difficult for our sect alone to confront the Yinluo Sect. With help from the Nine Flames Sect and the Qi Family, our burden will be lighter. Splitting the secret realm among our three families isn’t bad, especially since the secret realm is on our territory. We should rightfully take the lion’s share," Mo Bingbing explained.

In terms of overall strength, the Yinluo Sect was much stronger than the Qianling Sect; for the Qianling Sect to confront them alone would be too great a pressure.

"That makes sense. I’ll lead the team on a run then!" Li Dong agreed.

"I would like to follow Master Uncle Li to contribute and make a name for myself in the sect," Shen Long volunteered. This was a golden opportunity to establish his merit, which he couldn’t miss.

Reporting news and participating in the affair were rewarded differently.

"Since Shen Shizhu is the one who discovered this secret realm, it would be good to bring him along for some experience," Mo Bingbing said, approval showing on her face.

Shen Long was brave and willing to fight for the Qianling Sect— exactly the kind of disciple the Qianling Sect wanted to focus on cultivating.

"No problem, then Shen Shizhu should come with me!" Li Dong had no objections.

"Junior Sister Lin and Junior Brother Zhao are already on their way. I’ve dispatched a group of Soul Transformation Cultivators who are waiting at the Qianling Platform. Head over now to meet them and head to the Qingli Mountain Range together," Mo Bingbing directed. She had used the large Messaging Array to inform the nearest branch as soon as she received news of the secret realm, sending Void Refining Cultivators to lead the team there.

Li Dong nodded, flicked his wrist, and a deafening roar of a dragon resounded as a massive Green Flood Dragon emerged from the Spirit Beast Bracelet.

The Green Flood Dragon had a thick, green horn on its head, its body covered in green scales, and its wide mouth full of sharp teeth.

"A sixth-order Wind Flood Dragon!" Shen Long exclaimed with envy.

Li Dong leaped onto the head of the Wind Flood Dragon, while Shen Long jumped onto its back.

"To the Qianling Platform," Li Dong instructed.

"Yes, master," the Wind Flood Dragon complied, shaking its head and tail as it flew high into the sky with great speed.

Before long, the Wind Flood Dragon hovered over an enormous azure stone plaza spanning ten thousand mu, where over three hundred Soul Transformation Cultivators were gathered—Zhao Tianhu, Lin Yan, and Liu Xuan were among them.

"We pay respect to Master Uncle Li," Zhao Tianhu and the others bowed and saluted, speaking in unison.

"All of you, get on! If you handle this task well, there will be rewards for you. Anyone who retreats in the face of battle will be executed," Li Dong commanded.

Zhao Tianhu and the others complied, flying up onto the back of the Wind Flood Dragon, one after another.

The Wind Flood Dragon let out a sky-piercing howl, a violent wind arose, and it shot into the sky, swiftly disappearing from sight.
