Has the Vast Heaven Sect Gone Mad?

The Myriad Spirits Sect was once one of the most powerful sects below the top ten on the Blazing Sun Continent.

Although it may still be far from being among the top ten in the world, it can still be considered a major category.

The most powerful ability of the Myriad Spirits Sect is called Myriad Spirits Return to Origin. This is a unique technique of the Myriad Spirits Sect, which can be used to nurture damaged spiritual weapons and artifacts to accelerate their recovery.

It was precisely through this tactic that the Myriad Spirits Sect was able to establish a firm foothold on the Blazing Sun Continent.

However, recently, the Myriad Spirits Sect has encountered an enormous difficulty.

The Myriad Spirits Sect is an affiliated sect of the Cloud Firmament Sect. Previously, the Cloud Firmament Sect sent a batch of powerful spiritual treasures for the Myriad Spirits Sect Myriad Spirits Return to Origin Technique to nurture them.

Liu Quanshan, the Myriad Spirits Sect, accepted the task with great joy.

The Myriad Spirits Sect's methods were naturally flawless; all the spiritual artifacts were restored in a short time under the Myriad Spirits Sect's Myriad Spirits Return to Origin technique.

However, a major incident occurred on the way back to the Cloud Firmament Sect from the Myriad Spirits Sect.

A group of mysterious individuals claiming to the Demonic Sect suddenly appeared, killing the Myriad Spirits Sect elder who was transporting the spiritual artifacts on the spot, wiping out all the disciples, and looting all the Demonic Sect artifacts.

The Cloud Firmament Sect sent a large number of spiritual treasures this time, and each one was extremely precious.

The loss of so many spiritual treasures is like the sky falling down for the Myriad Spirits Sect.

The value of those spiritual treasures was something even the Myriad Spirits Sect couldn't afford to compensate for.

When Liu Quanshan heard this news, he was completely dumbfounded. He personally went to the Cloud Firmament Sect to explain the matter.

However, in response to Liu Quanshan's explanation, Elder Ling Su of the Cloud Firmament Sect only said one thing: the Myriad Spirits Sect should compensate at the original price. If the Myriad Spirits Sect really couldn't afford to compensate, then they should use the Myriad Spirits Return to Origin technique to compensate.

Logically speaking, Liu Quanshan shouldn't have any objections to being compensated at the original price, since the treasure of the Cloud Firmament Sect was indeed lost in the hands of their Myriad Spirits Sect.

The problem is that the Myriad Spirits Sect has not leaked any information about these treasures.

Even the Myriad Spirits Sect didn't let all the elders know about it in order to keep the news under wraps, just in case something went wrong during the transport back.

So how did the Demonic Sect obtain this information?

What's even more bizarre is that these treasures were stolen by the Demonic Sect right on the territory of the Cloud Firmament Sect.

That area is less than a hundred miles from the Cloud Firmament Sect. Demonic Sect have some nerve to ambush them so close to the Cloud Firmament Sect?

At that time, the elders and disciples of the Myriad Spirits Sect fought desperately, but the battle lasted for a quarter of an hour. During this time, the Myriad Spirits Sect also sent out distress signals to the Cloud Firmament Sect.

All the distress signals seemed to disappear without a trace. It wasn't until the Demonic Sect had killed all the Myriad Spirits Sect disciples and seized the spiritual treasure that the Cloud Firmament Sect finally arrived.

Liu Quanshan wasn't stupid. Looking at the countless worried sect elders, Liu Quanshan eyes turned red.

"The Demonic Sect... Heh... What a Demonic Sect... This Demonic Sect was probably personally arranged by Ling Su!"

"Sect Master, please be careful with your words!"

"Sect Master, you mustn't speak such words carelessly..."

"Nonsense? Ling Su is demanding compensation from our Myriad Spirits Sect with the Myriad Spirits Return to Origin cultivation technique. Do you think that's reasonable?"

Upon hearing Liu Quanshan's words, the elders of the Myriad Spirits Sect remained silent.

Actually, everyone isn't stupid. The Cloud Firmament Sect hasn't had any major battles recently, so why are there suddenly so many damaged spiritual treasures?

When the Cloud Firmament Sect sent those spiritual treasures, everyone in the Myriad Spirits Sect thought it was an immense windfall, but now, upon closer reflection, how could they not understand?

The Cloud Firmament Sect has coveted the Myriad Spirits Return to Origin to Origin Technique of the Myriad Spirits Sect for many years, and has even made several indirect attempts to persuade the Myriad Spirits Sect to hand over the technique.

However, the Myriad Spirits Return to Origin is the foundation of the Myriad Spirits Sect. Without this secret technique, how could the Myriad Spirits Sect survive?

Therefore, the Myriad Spirits Sect repeatedly rejected the Cloud Firmament Sect.

Liu Quanshan never expected that the Cloud Firmament Sect would resort to such despicable means.

The Demonic Sect? The Demonic Sect appeared within a hundred miles of the Cloud Firmament Sect, and the Cloud Firmament Sect didn't even give a hint? Are you all Cloud Firmament Sect?

Even if you know it's a trap, what can you do?

Even if the Myriad Spirits Sect did have evidence, what use would it be?

Does the Myriad Spirits Sect have the power to challenge the Cloud Firmament Sect?

If the Myriad Spirits Sect really finds some evidence, do you believe that more Demonic Sects will suddenly descend upon the Myriad Spirits Sect tonight, and the Demonic Sect Myriad Spirits Sect overnight?

"We'll try to borrow money to compensate for those magical treasures. The Myriad Spirits Return to Origin is the foundation of our Myriad Spirits Sect. If we hand them over, our Myriad Spirits Sect will be finished."

One of the elders suggested lending money.

But upon hearing the elder's words, Liu Quanshan could only manage a bitter smile; he showed no other expression.

Borrow?

Liu Quanshan had already considered this method immediately after the incident, and Liu Quanshan even contacted various forces that were on good terms with the Myriad Spirits Sect, but the result was the same.

No one was willing to help the Myriad Spirits Sect. Even several old friends openly or subtly indicated that it wasn't that they didn't want to help, but rather that they couldn't...

Upon hearing this, Liu Quanshan knew... this must be the work of the Cloud Firmament Sect. The Cloud Firmament Sect wanted to take away the Myriad Spirits Sect's Myriad Spirits Return to Origin, and the Cloud Firmament Sect had blocked all their escape routes.

Among the forces Liu Quanshan knew, no one dared to defy the Cloud Firmament Sect, so the fate of the Myriad Spirits Sect was already sealed.

If we do not hand over the Myriad Spirits Return to Origin, then the Cloud Firmament Sect will use this incident as an excuse to personally come and seize the Myriad Spirits Return to Origin.

However, by handing over the Myriad Spirits Return to Origin, the only secret method for the Myriad Spirits Sect's survival will be obtained by the Cloud Firmament Sect. Given the strength of the Cloud Firmament Sect, it is likely that they will be able to thoroughly research the Myriad Spirits Return to Origin in just a few years. At that time, the Myriad Spirits Sect will still be doomed.

Liu Quanshan finally understood what it meant to be innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. As a vassal of the Cloud Firmament Sect, the Myriad Spirits Sect never shortchanged itself on tributes over the years, and had done its best in everything the Cloud Firmament Sect asked of it.

However, in the eyes of the Cloud Firmament Sect, nothing that the Myriad Spirits Sect did was as important as the Myriad Spirits Sect Myriad Spirits Return to Origin of the Myriad Spirits Sect.

Liu Quanshan knew that the Myriad Spirits Sect no longer had any choice. Myriad Spirits Sect could do was hand over Myriad Spirits Return to Origin and then gradually decline until one day it was swallowed up by the Cloud Firmament Sect in some unknown way.

What a load of bullshit, the Cloud Firmament Sect!

Does Liu Quanshan really want the whole world to see what the Cloud Firmament Sect is like?

But Liu Quanshan knew he wasn't qualified; he didn't even have the right to let the world know the truth.

Because if he were to speak up, he would inevitably face the swift and decisive actions of the Cloud Firmament Sect Soaring Sect.

"Sect Master..." Just as Liu Quanshan was feeling disheartened, the elders of the sect who had gone out to seek help returned.

Liu Quanshan looked at the elder with his last hope, but Liu Quanshan already knew the answer from the elder's face.

As expected... everyone chose to remain silent. No one was willing to help the Myriad Spirits Sect, and no one dared to oppose the Cloud Firmament Sect.

Liu Quanshan didn't blame them; after all, that was the Cloud Firmament Sect. Who would dare to disobey them? Who would dare to openly stand up against the Cloud Firmament Sect?

"Have someone prepare the Myriad Spirits Return to Origin' cultivation technique... The Cloud Firmament Sect should send someone to retrieve it in the next few days..."

Disheartened, Liu Quanshan knew that he had no other way out but to compromise.

Many elders of the Myriad Spirits Sect also sighed, for they could already foresee the fate of the Myriad Spirits Sect.

After the Myriad Spirits Return to Origin is handed over to the Cloud Firmament Sect, the Cloud Firmament Sect will surely study it to its fullest potential in the shortest possible time. At that time, the Myriad Spirits Return to Origin to Origin technique will no longer be a secret technique exclusive to the Myriad Spirits Sect.

With the capabilities of the Cloud Firmament Sect, the Return of Myriad Spirits Return to Origin would undoubtedly allow them to reach even greater heights. But who knows that the Cloud Firmament Sect is climbing over the corpses of the Myriad Spirits Sect?

Perhaps a hundred years from now, no one will remember that the Myriad Spirits Return to Origin was a secret technique of their Myriad Spirits Sect, not the Cloud Firmament Sect.

But what can the Myriad Spirits Sect do, no matter how helpless they are, against a behemoth like the Cloud Firmament Sect?

No one dared to stand up for the Myriad Spirits Sect at this time, and no one would go against the Cloud Firmament Sect for the sake of the mere Myriad Spirits Sect.

Liu Quanshan waved his hand helplessly. He didn't want to say another word; he just wanted some peace and quiet.

The elders understood Liu Quanshan's helplessness, so they bowed and prepared to leave. But just as they were about to leave, a disciple of the Myriad Spirits Sect rushed in from outside in a panic.

"Reporting to the Sect Master... A disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect has come to our door, claiming to wish to repay a debt to our Myriad Spirits Sect!"

The disciple's words stunned both Liu Quanshan and the many elders of the Myriad Spirits Sect.

What the heck?

Disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect have come to our Myriad Spirits Sect?

They even said they'd pay back our debts?

When has our Myriad Spirits Sect ever owed the Vast Heaven Sect any debt?

No, no... it seems like the Vast Heaven Sect is going to return it to us?

But when has the Vast Heaven Sect ever owed us a debt?

Even Liu Quanshan was stunned.

Just as everyone was bewildered, Xu Qing, the Grand Elder of the Myriad Spirits Sect, spoke up, "Everyone, this is indeed true!"

Xu Qing then explained the details to everyone, leaving them completely bewildered.

Elder Xu Qing has been in charge of managing the various accounts of the Myriad Spirits Sect, and there are indeed some records in the oldest accounts of the Myriad Spirits Sect.

Back then, the Vast Heaven Sect did borrow a large amount of resources from the Myriad Spirits Sect, but later, by chance, the Myriad Spirits Sect accidentally lost the token that had been used to borrow the resources.

So this debt has been left unresolved ever since; Xu Qing remembers it as something that happened two hundred years ago.

To this day, apart from the Grand Elder who manages the accounts, almost everyone else in the sect has forgotten about it.

After all, that's the Vast Heaven Sect. Without the token, do you really expect to get the debt back from the Vast Heaven Sect?

Anyone with a normal brain would know that's highly unlikely.

Because of this debt, the Myriad Spirits Sect, which was originally on good terms with the Vast Heaven Sect, switched its allegiance to the Cloud Firmament Sect and became Cloud Firmament Sect vassal.

It was precisely because of this resource that the previous sect leader of the Myriad Spirits Sect often privately insulted the Vast Heaven Sect for being shameless.

But this can only be vented privately, since the Myriad Spirits Sect itself lost the token, and they can't blame anyone else.

For so many years, the Myriad Spirits Sect has consistently refused any cooperation with the Vast Heaven Sect, all because of the resources from back then.

But the Myriad Spirits Sect never dreamed that the Vast Heaven Sect, whom they considered despicable and shameless, would actually come to their door to repay this debt.

So, has the Vast Heaven Sect gone mad?
