An Unwarranted Calamity

Within the Sanyang Sect, the entire sect was shaken.

On the Boundless River, a series of disciples were killed.

Most of them escaped the Ancient Realm with serious injuries, and two Void Heaven Cultivator even had their Divine Soul destroyed.

"Who is it, and which Sect is targeting my Sanyang Sect?"

"The Boundless River is the Residence of the Illusionary Spirit Sect. I can't think of anyone else who would dare to do this."

"They could also be from the Wuchen Sect. They have a long-standing feud with my Sanyang Sect, and with the Hundred Realms Competition approaching, their hunting down of my Void Heaven disciples might be preparation for that."

"Using Celestial Person to hunt down Void Heaven is utterly shameless. Are they breaking the rules of the Exquisite World?"

"It shouldn't be that bad; they wouldn't dare to set that precedent."

Within the within the Exquisite World, it has always been a matter of soldiers fighting soldiers and generals fighting generals. If it were all about Celestial Person hunting down Void Heaven, the entire world would be thrown into chaos. Even in a life- Life and Death Sect, they wouldn't dare to do this openly, otherwise they would not be facing just one Sect, but the Exquisite World attacking them.

"Has anyone woken up?" Baili Jinghong, the Sect Master of the Sanyang Sect, asked with a grim expression.

Those disciples who can enter the Ancient Realm are at least at the Void Heaven level, the backbone of the Sanyang Sect, and some even have the potential to become Celestial Person. Losing even one of them would be painful, let alone so many.

"No, this person is extremely ruthless and shows no mercy. At most, the disciples who fall victim to his attacks only manage to escape with a Divine Soul, and even then, the Blade Intent remains within Divine Soul. Even Zhuang Tianlai, who was the least injured, will probably need three days to regain his senses."

"There should be Celestial Person from my sect by the Boundless River, right?"

"There are two people, but Junior Brother Chen Baotian was seriously injured the day before yesterday and is currently recuperating. I have already notified Senior Brother Zhu to go there."

"Junior Brother Chen is injured? Who injured him?" Baili Jinghong frowned. The Sanyang Sect has been going through a lot lately. First, True Disciple was killed, and Zhou Hanmo, who First Tribulation of Heavenly Change, was seriously injured and had not yet woken up. Now, this kind of thing has happened one after another.

"It's said he's Guest Elder of the Illusionary Spirit Sect, surnamed Gu, who only broke through to become Celestial Person a few years ago."

Baili Jinghong sneered, "What a waste! You can't even beat Cultivator who has just reached the initial stage of the Celestial Person."

The old man beside him hesitated for a moment before saying, "This person's cultivation is somewhat strange. Although he has only recently become Celestial Person, he managed to catch several Earth Tier Mid-Grade Dao Soul when he was in the Void Heaven. According to Junior Brother Chen, his Divine Soul had 60% of its usual strength when he entered the Ancient Realm this time, but in their fight, he was severely injured in just one move, and only a wisp of his Divine Soul Spirituality."

Baili Jinghong turned her head, a glint of divine light flashing in her eyes. "One move?"

The old man spoke slowly, saying, "To have achieved such a feat at the very beginning of one's Celestial Person, we suspect he comes from another realm."

"The Primordial Realm?" Baili Jinghong stood with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed.

The Primordial Realm and the Primordial Divine Sect were like a Great Mountain pressing down on all the Cultivator of the Exquisite World.

"Sect Master, how should we deal with this person? The Primordial Divine Sect has never interfered in the affairs of other Sect in the Exquisite World. If someone from the Primordial Divine Sect becomes Guest Elder the Illusionary Spirit Sect, then wouldn't that...?"

"Let's hold our positions for now. Have Chen Baotian bring me this man's portrait, and I'll send someone to investigate his background. Senior Brother Liu, I'll trouble you to personally go to the Boundless River and see who dares to treat my Sanyang Sect like this."

"Yes!" The old man bowed slightly.

Boundless River.

With such a Motion and Stillness, the Illusionary Spirit Sect naturally wouldn't fail to notice.

"Has Lu Chen gone mad? Isn't he afraid that the Sanyang Sect will suppress and imprison him?" An Elder of the Illusionary Spirit Sect stared wide-eyed.

Lu Zeyu chuckled, "These Ancient Realm Cultivators are like that. They have lived for hundreds of millions of years. Although they have memories, they are incomplete. In these endless years, no one knows what they have experienced, what they are thinking, or even whether they have lost their minds."

"Sect Master, is there anything we should do? After all, this happened in the Boundless River."

Lu Zeyu laughed heartily, "What does this have to do with my Illusionary Spirit Sect? They killed people from the Sanyang Sect. The Sanyang Sect acts arrogantly and domineeringly; perhaps someone was blind enough to provoke them." "I'm just worried that the Sanyang Sect might take this opportunity to send experts to the Boundless River, which could cause trouble again."

"In the end, the struggle between the Sect comes down to strength. My Illusionary Spirit Sect has been stationed in the Boundless River for hundreds of thousands of years. If we can't even hold onto this foundation, then it is our fate."

As Lu Zeyu was speaking, he suddenly frowned, his figure disappeared, and he reappeared at the edge of the Residence, raising his Palm Seal to strike.

As Lu Chen, who was about to escape into the Illusionary Spirit Sect Residence with his sword flashing, had his escape light shattered and was sent flying eight hundred feet backward.

"Halt ahead!" Lu Zeyu said calmly.

Lu Chen emerged disheveled from the rubble, his eyes glowing red, about to rush forward, but stopped abruptly after seeing Lu Zeyu's face clearly.

He suppressed his anger and cautiously looked at Lu Zeyu: "Fine, if they won't let me in, then I won't. But please pass on a message for me."

"What is it?" Lu Zeyu asked.

Lu Chen smiled strangely, his figure flying backward as he laughed and said, "This is the one I was looking for, the Guest Elder of your Sect surnamed Gu. Ask him for me, are you satisfied with this generous gift?"

Lu Chen's expression hardened.

Gu Yuanqing practiced his cultivation while fishing.

The upper reaches of the Boundless River yielded similar results to those from the Primordial Fishing Platform, but required far greater expenditure of Divine Soul and True Essence.

However, his True Essence was abundant, and his Heavenly Human World was powerful, so he could still withstand these expenditures.

Another Profound Tier Dao Soul took the bait. Just as he sealed it away, he saw a figure fly by in mid-air.

Qiu Ziqing?

Gu Yuanqing recognized it.

Qiu Ziqing also saw Gu Yuanqing, and as he descended in a flash of light, he cupped his hands and said, "Daoist Friend!"

"Brother Qiu, you came all this way just to see me?" Gu Yuanqing stood up.

"I did come to see you. Something happened that I wanted to tell you."

"What is it?" Gu Yuanqing, somewhat surprised.

"It was Lu Chen who wantonly Slaughter the disciples of the Sanyang Sect by the Boundless River."

"The Sanyang Sect? Let them kill us, what does it have to do with me?" Gu Yuanqing smiled.

Qiu Ziqing said solemnly, "If it were just that, my Illusionary Spirit Sect wouldn't bother with it. But today he tried to break into the Sect's Residence, and the Sect Master went to intercept him. He asked the Sect Master to pass on a message to Daoist Friend."

"You brought me a message? What did you say?" Gu Yuanqing asked, somewhat curious.

"He asked Daoist Friend, are you satisfied with this generous gift?" Qiu Ziqing said in a deep voice.

Gu Yuanqing chuckled wryly, "So, his killing of the Sanyang Sect was actually a gift to me?"

Qiu Ziqing said, "Daoist Friend, this is no small matter. Lu Chen killed so many Void Heaven Cultivator from the Sanyang Sect. Just recently, he also fought a great battle with Zhu Qingyu, Celestial Person from the Sanyang Sect. Zhu Qingyu was injured and retreated. The Sanyang Sect will not let this go easily and will definitely send experts. If this matter is related to Daoist Friend, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble."

Gu Yuanqing smiled calmly and said, "What does Lu Chen's killing have to do with me? If the Sanyang Sect comes looking for trouble because of this, they've picked the wrong target. Brother Qiu, you can rest assured that if that's the case, it's a personal matter and won't involve your Sect."
