The Turmoil in the Luochuan Sect
They killed True Person Beigong and obtained a considerable amount of spoils.
Putting everything else aside, the Luochuan Bottle and the Purple Sun Spirit-Replenishing Pill alone are quite valuable.
Especially the latter, Pills, whose value fluctuates the most.
A good Pills can sell for a price comparable to Law Treasure of the same rank.
The lowest Pills can be exchanged for several bottles of Law Treasure of the same rank.
The difference between the two is far more than tenfold.
The Purple Sun Spirit-Replenishing Pill is considered a top-grade Pills among those of the same level. It can heal most injuries caused by the Spirit Transformation Realm, which is why it can sell for such a high price of 900,000 Middle-Grade Spirit Stones.
Such precious Pills should certainly not be sold; preserving them as part of the Lineage's resources is the best choice.
Of course, this is a different story if the Pills is nearing its expiration date.
Riding the dragon, Yang Tianyou flew towards Divine Sword Island. With True Person Beigong's business finished, only the Demon Puppet Venerable remained.
According to Yang Tianyou's plan, it would take quite a while to resolve the latter, so he should stay in the Chaotic Sea for some time.
If you stay too long, you'll naturally have to go home. After all, the Eight Desolations Arena is someone else's territory, and it's inconvenient to do anything there.
In addition, returning to Divine Sword Island would also allow him to visit his familiar clansmen and leave them some cultivation resources.
As for Luochuan Commandery, we'll just wait for things to develop; the Yang Household can remain behind the scenes.
Tasks like charging into battle are best left to other forces, such as the Zhou Household or the Azure Sun Sect...
Purple Moon Mountain, Great White Residence.
Yunhua looked at the intelligence her husband had sent back, her expression complex.
True Person Beigong was right about one thing: Yunhua grew up in the Luochuan Sect, so it's impossible for her to have no feelings for the sect.
However, one thing is one thing, but the scene of True Person Beigong and the Grand Elder forcing the couple to sign the Heavenly Dao Contract is still vivid in their minds.
There was also the conflict arising from the Guanghan Immortal-Demon Illusion Realm. If it weren't for the intimidating reputation of the Eight Desolations Saber Saint behind her husband, the Luochuan Sect would have already taken action to eliminate the Yang Household, Yunhua herself would not have fared much better.
She resented True Person Beigong's ruthlessness and the Grand Elder's arrogance. If only the two had used gentler methods back then, the Yang Household and Luochuan Sect wouldn't have ended up like this.
"Now that we've started, there's no turning back. At worst, I'll support Uncle Yun Ting's lineage and rebuild the Luochuan Sect from the ruins. That would be my final act of gratitude to the sect!" Yunhua murmured to herself, then raised her hand and sent out a Communication Talisman.
With Yang Tianyou absent, she became the supreme leader of the Yang Household. The Old Ancestor, Yang Haoyu, had already retired to the second line and rarely participated in important Lineage affairs, focusing instead on his own cultivation.
The Purple Moon Shadow Hall, the most secretive department of the Yang Household, is a place where only Yang Tianyou and his wife know exactly how many people are inside and in which corners of the Lu Wu Realm they are lurking.
What the Yang Household's higher-ups knew was that the Shadow Hall was absorbing more and more funds each year, ranking among the top three of all the Lineage's departments, second only to the Purple Moon Army.
Resources are often matched by capabilities.
The Shadow Hall did not disappoint the Lineage's investment. In just a hundred years, it has basically built an intelligence network covering Qin Province. The most densely populated area of the network is naturally Purple Moon Commandery, followed by Luochuan Commandery.
With Yunhua's order, a message began to spread wildly throughout Luochuan Commandery.
True Person Beigong has perished, Grand Elder is severely injured.
The Grand Elder of the Luochuan Sect looked at the extinguished Soul Lamp before him with a pained expression.
He truly hadn't expected that True Person Beigong would perish before him, all for the sake of purchasing a bottle of Pills. No matter how dangerous the Chaotic Sea was, the death of Spirit Transformation cultivator was still a low-probability event.
Someone is targeting the Luochuan Sect!
The thought suddenly wouldn't go away.
The Grand Elder immediately thought of the Yang Household, but quickly shook his head, knowing that with the Heavenly Dao Contract in place, the Yang Household would not be able to make a move.
Even if it's instructed to instruct other cultivators, it won't work; the Will of Heaven and Earth isn't stupid and can't be easily fooled.
If it's not the Yang Household, the most likely remaining family is the Zhou Household.
Since the last Cold Tide, when the sect was defeated and he himself was severely injured, the Zhou Household has been frequently provoking the Luochuan Sect.
The two sides repeatedly created friction in the border area, and the tension between their disciples grew increasingly high, with bloody conflicts frequently escalating.
Under such circumstances, it's understandable that the Zhou Household would send someone to intercept and kill True Person Beigong.
"Notify all elders to convene a sect meeting!" the Grand Elder ordered.
"Yes!" The disciple standing behind him bowed respectfully, then stepped back to inform the higher-ups of the Luochuan Sect.
In the Discussion Hall, the pale-faced and somewhat emaciated Grand Elder sat in the main seat, below him were the high-ranking members of the Luochuan Sect.
True Person Tianyun, True Person Yan Yuan, Chenyangzi, Old Ancestor the Song Household, True Person Yunting, True Person Yun Hai...
There were a total of thirteen Nascent Soul Cultivators, which was different from the number of Nascent Soul announced by the Luochuan Sect. However, it is not surprising that every major power would hide a certain amount of its strength.
"Just now, the Soul Lamp left behind by the sect leader went out," the Grand Elder said with a sorrowful expression.
"What?"
The Nascent Soul elders below immediately erupted in chaos, their faces showing either solemnity or fear. They naturally understood how terrible the consequences of True Person Beigong's fall would be.
"What should we do? The sect leader has fallen, and the Grand Elder is seriously injured. Without Spirit Transformation cultivator to guard our Luochuan Sect, Luochuan Sect is in danger of collapse at any moment!" True Person Yun Hai looked panicked and completely lost.
"What's the panic! When things come to this, only by working together and staying calm can we get through this calamity. Panic is of no use!" True Person Yunting rebuked him sternly. Although he was also very worried, his good temperament allowed him to withstand the pressure and choose to face it positively.
"There are rumors circulating outside that the sect leader has fallen. I thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true!" True Person Tianyun said with a bitter smile, his figure seemingly hunched over a bit without him realizing it.
As the leader of the Neutral Faction, True Person Beigong was naturally very close to True Person Tianyun, and his death was a great blow to the latter.
Chenyangzi frowned and asked, "What do we do now? Should we recall the disciples and defend the sect, or should we maintain the status quo, refute the rumors, deny the sect leader's death, and buy time for the sect?"
"We absolutely cannot admit that our sect leader has fallen, otherwise the Zhou Household will definitely take action against my Luochuan Sect!"
"If the Zhou Household makes a move, we will report to the Mountain and River Hall and request assistance."
"The Mountain and River Hall won't interfere with us. It's not like the Qin Household attacked. When forces of the same level clash, higher-level forces are not allowed to intervene. That's the rule of our Immortal Dao Path lineage!"
