Chapter 894: Chapter 634: I Need a Chance_2

"Your Highness is well aware, the Emperor’s nature is unpredictable and never trusts anyone. A Tiger Division has arrived, which necessitates the deployment of all your hidden pieces in the Western Territory!"

Wang Zhen smiled helplessly and clasped his hands in salute to Wang Yang, truly an insightful remark to awaken a dreamer.

Wang Zhen, having been in the Western Territory for years, naturally needs to cultivate his own power. A single Tiger Division isn’t enough to control the entire Western Territory, therefore Wang Zhen’s confidants and forces cultivated over the years naturally need to be mobilized first.

Any power not under control is not permitted by the Emperor to exist!

Previously ignored due to the Demon Clan’s well-hidden identity without exposure, but now that matters have surfaced, King Xin’s personal power cannot exist.

This is the rule of the royal family, which is also the standard!

"Thank you, Young Master, for the reminder, otherwise the Emperor’s dubious nature would make it really hard to explain!"

"Mm! Things are arranged, so let’s meet at the summit of the celestial Mountain!"

What needed to be said and instructed, Wang Yang had all arranged, naturally not needing to linger further.

"Young Master, take care on your way!"

"Your Highness, stay behind, time is pressing, better make arrangements early!"

After speaking, Wang Yang’s figure flashed and disappeared, leaving Wang Zhen squinting thoughtfully, wondering what he was thinking!

...

The day before the summit of the celestial Mountain!

The summit of the celestial Mountain serves as the grand event for the Cultivation Sect, where anyone of status within the sects will attend.

Especially the Seven Sects and Eight Factions, as leaders of the Cultivation Sects, naturally take the lead, hence gathering at the summit of the celestial Mountain a day early.

Firstly, to avoid the crowd on the actual day, which would make it difficult to organize; secondly, having more time to arrange the battlefield based on attendees.

Wang Yang also arrived a day early, because the message document sent in advance by the celestial Mountain referred to Wang Yang as the Sect Master of the Qingcheng Mountain Sect!

Presumably, the celestial Mountain has already learned about the disbandment of the Qingcheng Mountain Sect, and logically, with its disbandment, Wang Yang would only attend as a Loose Cultivator, lacking the qualifications to receive the message.

But now not only received the message, but was addressed with utmost respect as Sect Master.

It can be inferred that in the eyes of the celestial Mountain, Wang Yang is already considered on par with the Sect Masters of the Seven Sects and Eight Factions.

It seems the celestial Mountain is well-informed about Wang Yang, being the pinnacle of the Cultivation Sect, all occurrences in the Western Territory, big or small, are under control.

Perhaps from the moment Wang Yang entered the Western Territory, he was already within the celestial Mountain’s sight, fully informed of all conflicts with the Nine Swords Sect and incidents in the Youdu Mountain Range.

Yet it never intervened nor took action, sufficient to indicate the celestial Mountain’s stance is to keep itself safe!

No matter the occurrence, as long as it doesn’t endanger the celestial Mountain’s survival, it can be ignored, which likely bred Heavenly Master Zhang Xiaofan’s rebellious intent.

The celestial Mountain, as the peak existence of the Cultivation Sect, commands unrivaled prestige and ought to unify the Western Territory, thereby standing against the Imperial Court to reclaim the power of fate belonging to the Cultivation Sect!

The Royal Family, though powerful, cannot afford the price of overtaking the entire Cultivation Sect.

After all, the Eastern Territory is within the Demon Race’s domain; if things become dire, the Demon Race will surely take advantage.

This is why the Royal Family hasn’t completely eradicated the Cultivation Sect!

Especially now with the Outer Realm Demon Race invading, leaving them stretched thin, Zhang Xiaofan seized this opportunity to take such a daring risk!

At least, this is Zhang Xiaofan’s thought, a thought of the contemporary Heavenly Master.

At this moment, Wang Yang, bringing Su Yue, was assigned to the reception area on the celestial Mountain, where Xiang Zhenhua Ying and others were also present. This area is specifically for welcoming esteemed guests, followed by a mountain range belonging to cultivation.

The celestial Mountain spans vast lands, its main peak piercing the clouds, shrouded in mist, with the top unseen. The celestial Mountain Divine Wood roots atop the main mountain.

Wang Yang instructed Su Yue to rest early, leaving alone without worrying about Su Yue’s safety since this is the celestial Mountain, no one would be foolish enough to cause trouble here.

The celestial Mountain’s heritage is not merely the inheritance from Ancient Times, its history can be traced back to the earliest periods.

Because the celestial Mountain Divine Wood was born from the heaven and earth spiritual power, forming simultaneously with the celestial Dao Origin, a product of primordial Chaos.

After leaving the room, in Wang Yang’s eyes, Yin Yang Fish manifested in his pupils, and his Divine Sense silently covered the whole area.

Various auras emerged in Wang Yang’s Sea of Consciousness, including familiar individuals like Xiang Zhen and Hua Ying, as well as some unfamiliar sect masters from other factions.

"I hadn’t expected the Demon Clan’s hidden pieces to have completely consumed and refined the Human Race’s bloodline spiritual power, with their aura entirely altered, indistinguishable from Humans, unrecognizable without close contact!"

Wang Yang chuckled bitterly, originally intending to use the chance of staying in the area to locate the Demon Clan’s hidden pieces, but now things didn’t go as hoped.

The Demon Clan invaded this Square World too early, with time’s passage, they fully assimilated the Human Race’s bloodline spiritual power, entirely concealing their aura.

Even Wang Yang cannot discern them from afar, needing close contact like Liao Fan to capture clues!

No wonder the Demon Clan’s hidden pieces dared to attend the summit of the celestial Mountain, the reason being precisely this.

Within the celestial Mountain, the celestial Mountain Divine Wood guards all, preventing any evil demons or spirits from approaching, with the power resulting from the celestial Dao Origin capable of suppressing and eradicating all existences.

"Looks like I’ll have to identify these hidden pieces at the banquet!"

Wang Yang sighed, since the Seven Sects and Eight Factions’ sect masters hold distinguished status, the celestial Mountain hosts a banquet the night before to extend hospitality!

Coincidentally, Wang Yang is also among the invitees!

"Still some time before the banquet, why has Young Master come out?"

From behind Wang Yang, a familiar voice echoed suddenly.

Wang Yang smiled, the Yin Yang Fish in his pupils vanished instantly, then he turned to respond.

"Isn’t Sect Master Wang also restless, out for a stroll?"

Wang Zhen laughed heartily, amused by Wang Yang addressing him as Sect Master Wang. Although Haoran Sect is under the Imperial Court’s regulation, Wang Zhen doesn’t enjoy the responsibilities of a sect master.

Sane enough to assign himself the nominal role of Deputy Sect Master, yet still titled as Sect Master within the Cultivation Sect, similar to Ye Qiu, who is also called Sect Master within the Nine Swords Sect.

"Is this Young Master’s first visit to the celestial Mountain? Why don’t I act as a guide and show you the splendor of this mountain?"

"Can’t ask for more!"

Wang Yang nodded with a smile, naturally not declining Wang Zhen’s proposal, suspecting it meant topics needing discussion while wary of eavesdroppers.

Especially since this area harbors mixed individuals, the Demon Clan’s hidden pieces being unknowable.

"Young Master, this way, please!"

Wang Zhen leads the way ahead, with Wang Yang following closely, until leaving the area, where Wang Zhen starts speaking.

"Did Young Master sense the presence of the Demon Clan’s hidden pieces?"

"No, I did not!"

Wang Yang shook his head, smiled helplessly, suspecting that Wang Zhen, seeing Wang Yang’s abilities when he slew Liao Fan, deduced Wang Yang could distinguish the Demon Clan’s aura.

Wang Zhen’s expression showed slight surprise, seemingly not expecting such an answer, Wang Yang perceiving his change in expression, explained with a smile.

"In recent years, the Demon Clan’s hidden pieces have consumed and refined the Human Race’s bloodline spiritual power, their aura undergoing complete metamorphosis, now indistinguishable from Humans. My Divine Sense spread wide cannot detect anomalies, only at tonight’s banquet can I closely observe!"

"That is a relief!"

Upon hearing, Wang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, knowing despite Wang Yang’s inability for extensive scanning, close proximity would still allow detection of the Demon Clan’s aura.

"So during the banquet, we need a chance for me to interact with each of them!"

As Wang Yang spoke to Wang Zhen, his eyes sparkled, this matter is exceedingly important.
