Chapter 2032 - 2032 2022 The Shadow of the Heavenly Gate Sect

2032: Chapter 2022: The Shadow of the Heavenly Gate Sect 2032: Chapter 2022: The Shadow of the Heavenly Gate Sect “The situation of the Blood Shadow Sect is very complex, and if you do not have my help, completing the task is almost impossible,” the Ghostly Demon Princess said.

In her view, the cooperation proposal she offered was of great value to Long Yan.

Long Yan pondered.

The words of the Ghostly Demon Princess were not entirely unreasonable.

With her help, things would indeed be much more convenient for him, at least he would face a lot less trouble.

Furthermore, after all, the Ghostly Demon Princess was disguising herself as Elder Yu Luoqi, she could definitely access more information than a Core Disciple could.

It had to be said, this was a highly tempting condition.

But what the Ghostly Demon Princess demanded in return were the secrets of the Nine-Star Tower—this cost was indeed a bit too steep for Long Yan.

“First tell me, why does the Holy King need to hide things in the Nine-Star Tower?” Long Yan asked the Ghostly Demon Princess.

“That I cannot tell you.

Even if you knew now, it would be of no use,” the Ghostly Demon Princess said.

“Long Yan, you are indeed a genius.

Purely in terms of talent, perhaps you could become the second Holy King, but you should be clear about the gap between you and the Holy King, you cannot be a match for the Holy King, and opposing him is an unwise choice.”

In the Seven-Star Hall, the Holy King’s power and prestige were immense, and even when considering the entire Star Fighting Plane, there were only a few who could shake the Holy King.

The status of the Holy King was not something attainable by talent alone.

“I have never thought of being an enemy to the Holy King, it’s just that the Holy King would not let me off,” Long Yan said.

He would not be foolish enough to provoke the Holy King, but if the Holy King meant to provoke him, he would not fear the Holy King.

“If you hand over what you obtained in the Nine-Star Tower to me, I will plead on your behalf in front of the Holy King,” the Ghostly Demon Princess said.

She could not influence the Holy King’s intent; what she could do was to plead for Long Yan in front of the Holy King.

“You need not trouble yourself with that, I, Long Yan, am not easily bullied, and it won’t be easy for the Holy King to deal with me,” Long Yan said.

He would not bow his head, especially since he and the Holy King had not yet reached a point of irreconcilable enmity.

“That will depend on your own decision,” the Ghostly Demon Princess said, and then added, “What do you think of my proposal?”

Long Yan’s eyebrows raised playfully, and the corners of his mouth curved into a natural arc as he asked, “What if I refuse, how would you deal with me?”

From the information received from the Shengdao Alliance, the Ghostly Demon Princess was no ordinary person.

Cooperating with her was tantamount to negotiating with a tiger, a fact Long Yan could not afford to ignore.

“You killed the Law Enforcement Hall Master’s son.

Just by putting the word out, regardless of your fate, how confident do you think you are about leaving the Blood Shadow Sect alive?” the Ghostly Demon Princess began to smile.

For her, there were many ways to deal with Long Yan, and she could easily play him to death with some trickery.

“You could also leak my true identity and my purpose for coming to the Blood Shadow Sect, couldn’t you?” Long Yan said calmly, still with a smile on his face.

“You’re a smart man, of course, you know I have many ways to put you in a deadly situation,” the Ghostly Demon Princess conceded in not so many words.

“It seems I do not have much choice,” Long Yan replied nonchalantly, shrugging his shoulders.

Similarly, he could expose the true identity of the Ghostly Demon Princess, but doing so would be meaningless as no one would believe him.

The Ghostly Demon Princess could enter the Blood Shadow Sect so easily because she was confident she could leave unscathed.

Otherwise, she would not have admitted her true identity in his presence.

“As a gesture of your sincerity, you might want to give me some useful information,” Long Yan said, looking up slightly, indicating his agreement to cooperate with the Ghostly Demon Princess.

“No problem.”

The Ghostly Demon Princess smiled.

As long as Long Yan agreed to cooperate, everything else would be easy to handle.

“Let me first tell you about the situation within the Blood Shadow Sect.”

The Ghostly Demon Princess said, “The Blood Shadow Sect is rife with undercurrents, mainly divided into two factions: the Supreme Elder pulse and the Sect Master pulse.

Of course, there are also some who remain neutral.

The Law Enforcement Hall Master is from the Supreme Elder faction.”

“The Supreme Elder and the Sect Master don’t get along.

Therefore, there is also open and secret fighting between the two factions.

For now, the Supreme Elder faction has some advantages, but they are not significant.”

The struggle between the two factions had long been an open secret.

“Which faction are you…

wait, no, which faction is Yu Luoqi from?”

Long Yan asked.

“Neither, neutral,”

said the Ghostly Demon Princess.

If Yu Luoqi belonged to the Supreme Elder faction, she wouldn’t be opposing the Law Enforcement Hall Master, and if Yu Luoqi was from the Sect Master faction, the Law Enforcement Hall Master definitely wouldn’t let things go.

Long Yan nodded slightly, pondering in his heart.

Since the Supreme Elder faction and the Sect Master faction were in conflict, he could exploit this to find an opportunity to penetrate the core of the Blood Shadow Sect and complete his mission.

If the Blood Shadow Sect were united, it wouldn’t be so simple.

“Do you know why the Supreme Elder faction and the Sect Master faction are at odds?”

The Ghostly Demon Princess asked Long Yan.

“I don’t know.”

Long Yan shook his head.

He didn’t know much about the Blood Shadow Sect.

“In the past, the Blood Shadow Sect was united, which is why they were able to establish a foothold in the Arc Star Region and gradually grow stronger.

The former Sect Master was the son of the Supreme Elder, who was also Lan Feng’s father.”

The Ghostly Demon Princess narrated, “A few years ago, the former Sect Master suddenly died.

The exact reason is unclear.

After that, the current Sect Master, Meng Shentong, rose to power and took control of the Blood Shadow Sect.

Meng Shentong was just one of the Elders of the Sect before.”

This information was obtained by the Ghostly Demon Princess from Yu Luoqi.

“Could it be that Meng Shentong killed the former Sect Master?”

Long Yan guessed a possibility.

It was very likely that Meng Shentong had killed the former Sect Master, causing the discord with the Supreme Elder and leading to the current situation.

“Whether the former Sect Master was schemed against by Meng Shentong, there’s no evidence, but one thing is clear, the Heavenly Gate Sect is lurking in the shadows behind Meng Shentong.”

The Ghostly Demon Princess said.

“The Heavenly Gate Sect!”

Upon hearing this, Long Yan’s gaze suddenly intensified; this piece of information was the most valuable to him.

The Seven-Star Hall wanted to deal with the Blood Shadow Sect because the Heavenly Gate Sect had extended its reach into the Star Fighting Plane.

Meng Shentong’s ascension to Sect Master of the Blood Shadow Sect likely relied on the power of the Heavenly Gate Sect.

“I’ve told you all that I know.

I’ll gather more information for you in secret.

Exactly how to proceed is up to you.”

The Ghostly Demon Princess said to Long Yan.

“Thank you.”

Long Yan nodded and expressed his gratitude.

Had the Ghostly Demon Princess not informed him of these details, it would have been nearly impossible for him to obtain such intel, at least not in a short time.

“This Daoist Domain shall be yours from now on.

Here is the Identity Token of a Core Disciple.”

The Ghostly Demon Princess took out an Identity Token and tossed it to Long Yan.

“I’ve made some changes to this Identity Token.

You can contact me directly through it if you wish.

Likewise, if I have any news, I will use the Identity Token to inform you directly.”

This way, it became more convenient for her to exchange messages with Long Yan.
