Could Elder Fang Be Deliberately Setting Himself Against the Holy Land?
"This isn't exactly a tradition."
Cang Wenyu was taken aback by Lu Changzhi's question.
I didn't expect Lu Changzhi to be focusing on this aspect.
After thinking for a moment, he explained:
Not all relics or heritages need to be publicized; some Jingjing remain in one place, waiting for future generations to be lucky enough to discover or encounter them.
"Making a commotion is more beneficial to those who leave behind relics or legacies. Only with a large enough commotion can enough forces be attracted to participate, allowing them to select the best among the best and leave the legacy to descendants with sufficient talent."
"Having decided to leave behind one's mantle, one must not want it to decline or be lost."
"As more people did this, and others followed suit, it eventually became a trend."
Lu Changzhi nodded, then turned to Cang Wenyu and asked:
"So, what are the sect's plans regarding this matter?"
Cang Wenyu shook his head:
"A legacy that has reached this level is no small matter; it would be a hot potato for either side to handle."
"Our Five Symbols Sect is just a small force in the Eastern Region. We should focus on cultivating and not get involved."
After a pause, Cang Wenyu added:
"However, whether the ancestors participated or not is beyond my knowledge."
Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but smile.
Since the ancestors were given the Life Spirit Spring, their presence has become significantly stronger.
Return the jade talisman to Cang Wenyu.
Lu Changzhi did not continue to pay attention to this matter.
After all, the ancestor was involved, so the chances of getting it are quite high.
At that moment, he asked Cang Wenyu:
"Any movement from the Cloud Heaven Holy Land?"
Upon hearing this, Cang Wenyu looked over:
"The matter of the Flower Spirit Sect?"
Lu Changzhi nodded.
Compared to the Saint King, he was more curious about whether the Cloud Heaven Holy Land could clarify the matter of the Flower Spirit Sect.
To ensure that the Cloud Heaven Holy Land wouldn't go hungry, he put in a lot of thought and effort to provide them with a pot.
You have to achieve something for yourself.
"Not yet."
Cang Wenyu shook his head:
"The news from the Cloud Heaven Holy Land is rather unbearable to look at right now; it will probably take some time before they respond."
"I have some relevant information, I'll have someone send it to you."
"Okay." Lu Changzhi nodded.
To be honest, ever since Cang Wenyu started sending him news of major events and new developments outside, things have been quite different.
Now, he sometimes has a feeling that he has entered his twilight years prematurely.
Every day I eat, sleep, bask in the sun, and read the newspaper.
"Yeah, all that's missing is taking the bird for a walk."
Thinking to himself, Lu Changzhi secretly shook his head.
Xiao Ming is still a bit overweight.
It's actually more suitable for... than for bird walking.
Stew?!
"Once the Black Tortoise egg hatches, maybe we can take it for a spin."
As far as I remember, this thing shouldn't run very fast, unlike Xiao Ming who can disappear in an instant.
Cloud Heaven Holy Land.
"My Lord, something terrible has happened!"
A sound came from inside, causing Huang Yunya to suddenly stop moving.
"What is it?!"
Huang Yunya's face darkened.
Can't there be something good?
Upon hearing this, the man spoke up:
"As you instructed, we've investigated the Flower Spirit Sect and have some results, but it seems..."
As the voice spoke, it handed over the jade talisman.
Huang Yunya took it from him.
A moment later, his expression changed drastically, and he flew into a rage:
"What does this have to do with my Cloud Heaven Holy Land? Who is spreading rumors in secret!"
The man opposite him shrank his neck slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"Holy Lord, it seems that's what everyone outside is saying."
Huang Yunya suddenly stood up.
Not long after, the elders were summoned.
After understanding what had happened.
It immediately caused an uproar.
"We didn't even get a tip, how could it possibly be the work of our people!"
"This is an undeserved calamity. Which force is secretly plotting to burn down our Cloud Heaven Holy Land and harm us?"
"Such a despicable and shameless act, and targeting my Cloud Heaven Holy Land, must be the work of their Star Moon Holy Land. The people they killed must have been imposters, trying to stir up trouble."
Anger, speculation, and worry—all these emotions have their place.
"Wrong."
An elder, with a solemn expression, spoke:
"Water elemental power, Source Water Spirit Crystal..."
The vast hall suddenly fell silent.
All eyes turned to one person present.
It was the same elder who had previously questioned the Sword Immortal's visit.
The atmosphere was eerie at that moment.
However, everyone felt a sense of sudden realization.
Why did that Sword Immortal visit so suddenly?
Why was that Sword Immortal so generous, even giving away Source Water Spirit Crystals, and so many at that?
Even more so, why did they leave in a different direction?
I understand, I understand everything.
This Sword Immortal is trying to frame their Cloud Heaven Holy Land!
Huang Yunya's lips twitched violently.
Damn it, isn't the Cloud Heaven Holy Land in enough trouble already?!
At this moment, an elder spoke up, saying:
"If I remember correctly, Elder Fang Ling was closest to that Sword Immortal. Does Elder Fang know anything else about this?"
The conversation went straight to Fang Ling.
Immediately, many eyes turned towards them, all with a questioning tone.
Fang Ling's expression changed, and before he could speak, another voice said:
"Could it be that Elder Fang did this intentionally, wanting to use the power of the Holy Land to benefit himself?"
"First, he lost Sacred Artifact, and then he was framed. Is Elder Fang deliberately trying to oppose the Holy Land?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Ling's expression changed drastically, his aura surged, and he roared:
"My loyalty to the Holy Land is as clear as day; how could I possibly do anything to harm it? I..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a soft laugh:
"Is Elder Fang about to swear an oath to the heavens again? Last time he swore an oath, the lost Soul-Severing Needle still wasn't found. Swearing an oath is useless."
In critical moments, a single sentence can have astonishing destructive power.
Fang Ling was immediately enraged, and his Sword Intent pierced through his body.
"Enough!"
Huang Yunya shouted in a low voice:
"I brought you here not to have you fight!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Ling took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and withdrew his aura, saying nothing more.
"How do we resolve the current situation?"
Huang Yunya's gaze swept over the elders present.
They were unwilling to continue discussing whose fault it was.
After all, his initial consideration was that the Holy Land was short of people and needed to improve the situation.
After some discussion.
Ultimately, most of the elders agreed to issue a statement to clarify the matter.
"The incident involving the Flower Spirit Sect was not the work of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land; it was deliberately orchestrated by someone with ulterior motives!"
Shortly afterward, the statement was released, attracting widespread attention.
However, most people found it amusing and amusing.
"Another statement? Truly befitting their status as a sacred place—they eat their fill and then deny everything. Are they afraid they won't be able to protect themselves?!"
"A lie repeated twice is still a lie. So many people from the three factions have died. The Cloud Heaven Holy Land can't be so naive as to think they can sever ties with a fake statement, can they? Tsk tsk, these three factions aren't so easy to deal with."
"I think the Cloud Heaven Holy Land did this intentionally. It wasn't to make us believe what they said, but to show off their gains. After all, the three major powers sent so many powerful people but failed to obtain it or stop it, and even paid a price. This is something to boast about, it's just that their attitude is a bit arrogant."
All parties discussed the matter while also monitoring the reactions of the three forces.
After all, logically speaking, there should have been a reaction after so many powerful figures perished.
However, surprisingly, there seemed to be no reaction at all.
In fact, at this time, all three forces were focused on Chen Fangyuan's legacy.
