Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 1491

Chapter 1491

“Internal strife?”

Yang Junshan was surprised: “Could it be that Murong Qingtian is really dead?”

As the confluent sect’s Patriarch, Yang Junshan didn’t believe that Murong Qingtian would not leave behind any methods that were similar to Soul Lamps within the sect.

If his Soul Lamps were not extinguished, then, as the founder of confluent sect, with his strength and prestige, no one would risk their life to provoke internal strife after Murong Qingtian returned.

But from the information he had received from the Starcorner Celestial Sovereign, it seemed that the interior of the confluent sect was indeed in chaos. Could it be that Murong Qingtian was truly dead?

In fact, after the existence of Dao level, whether it was Yang Junshan or Murong Qingtian, in the eyes of many, falling in death was the most reasonable thing to do.

But Yang Junshan had a feeling that Murong Qingtian was definitely not dead!

After the Great Witch Xing Tian made his move that day, although the two of them were sent flying into the depths of the starry sky, Yang Junshan firmly believed that the Great Witch didn’t have any killing intent when he attacked.

This kind of feeling, might be belittling himself too much, but Yang Junshan still felt that the Divine Magus was annoyed by the two flies buzzing around him, so he just waved his hand … …

It was that simple!

Only, if Murong Qingtian was not dead, why would the confluent sect be in a state of internal strife?

This point was something Yang Junshan could not wrap his head around.

On the other hand, Xing Yao, who was at the side, seemed to be deep in thought: “Wu, even if Murong Qingtian doesn’t die, I’m afraid this confluent sect will also havard time.”

Hearing that, Yang Junshan immediately asked: “Why?”

Xing Yao looked strangely at Yang Junshan, and laughed involuntarily: Of course it’s related to you, Taoist Yang. In the battle that day, he was unable to do anything to you, fellow cultivator, which undoubtedly proves that fellow cultivator’s strength is far stronger than others of the same cultivation level, but at the same time, it also means that the Immortal Celestial Lord’s prestige is greatly lost, and is worthy of being looked down upon!

Yang Junshan was slightly startled, but he did not think about all this for a moment.

On the contrary, it was the Celestial Sovereign who spoke excitedly: “Although confluent sect is known alace where both sides take over each other, but in reality, it is a place where all the scattered cultivators are absorbed. Normally, because of the powerful Immortal Celestial Lord Murong Qingtian, all of the internal issues and contradictions did not surface, and now that we are in a huge war with you, confluent sect is practically reduced to a laughingstock in the starry sky.

Yang Junshan clapped his hands and laughed: “Fellow Daoist, what you said makes sense. As the saying goes, if a tree falls and a monkey dissolves, even if Murong Qingtian, this rotten wood, doesn’t die, I would not mind forcefully pushing it a bit.”

With that, Yang Junshan looked at the Starcorner Celestial Sovereign with a smile that was not a smile: “I wonder if Fellow Daoist Starcorner is interested in the confluent sect?”

Hearing that, Xing Yao had a troubled look on his face, and said: “About this, although this old man wants to help Taoist Yang, it’s not appropriate for me to end this early!”

Yang Junshan nodded his head, he understood the meaning behind the Celestial Sovereign’s words, this could also be considered as a set of unspoken rules in the Starry Sky Great World.

It was common for a wall to fall and people were pushing it, but the victim’s resentment would often only be directed at the first enemy who pushed against the wall.

As for those cultivators who tried to take advantage of the situation, as the saying goes, the law does not punish the masses. Everyone tried to take advantage of the situation, but if the victim really did target everyone, then everyone would have to join hands to eliminate the root of the problem.

The meaning behind Celestial Sovereign’s actions, was that he had no objections towards confluent sect, and took advantage of the situation to rob him. Who would be willing to not extend his hand, but he was willing to take advantage of the situation, and it was impossible for him to follow Yang Junshan to come knocking on his door.

Who knows what kind of corner Murong Qingtian would come back from at that time?

But Yang Junshan was not this worried. With the grudge between the two of them, even if Yang Junshan killed everyone in confluent sect, no one could say anything. After all, Murong Qingtian had ambushed someone online previously.

The Primal Chaos Heavenly Star Realm was ranked 21st among the various worlds. It was made up of the disintegration of a medium plane of existence.

And confluent sect was located in the Southwest Star Palace of the Heavenly Mystery Realm. Almost the entire Star Palace could be considered as the sphere of influence of the confluent sect.

Before confluent sect Lord Murong Qingtian and Yang Junshan began their great battle, which spanned several months across different star realms, confluent sect could be considered to have quite a bit of fame in the entire Starry Sky Great World. Although it could barely be considered a mid-sized power, it was still in the process of rising.

In the entire confluent sect, other than the founder and sect master of the, there were still the Four Protectors, the Golden Immortals, and the Twelve Pure Yang Enforcers. The number of second, third, and fourth generation disciples remained uncountable.

However, of the Four Great Golden Immortal Protectors of the confluent sect, only three remained, and the one who died was Tang Ruoqing.

However, the current situation within the confluent sect was extremely delicate. After Murong Qingtian disappeared, the three Guardian Immortals within the sect went their separate ways.

With the accumulation of thousands of years in the confluent sect, there waotal of one galactic longboat, one Star Palace Flying Ship and four Star Domain Spirit Boats.

Currently, on top of the only and most important galactic longboat in the confluent sect, the third protector of the confluent sect, the Golden Immortal, Yu Ruotong, was anxiously walking around in a certain pavilion within the long boat.

Following a light sound, the door of the pavilion was opened and a Primordial Immortal Lord walked in.

When Yu Ruotong saw this person, he hurriedly took two steps forward and asked, “Junior Brother Gu, how was it, what did Guard Shangguan say?”

The person who walked in from outside was none other than someone that Yang Junshan was familiar with. He had trespassed into the Circulatory World and almost exterminated Violet Firmament Pavilion Gu Ruoxuan, one of the Twelve Pure Yang Enforcers of the confluent sect.

Hearing Yu Ruotong’s question, he said in a low voice: “The chief protector’s attitude is unclear, this subordinate has already tried his best to persuade him, but the chief protector is still non-committal. He has said that before the sect master returns, the entire sect must consider it as being peaceful.”

“Hmph,” Yu Ruotong let oueavy, cold snort upon hearing this, and scolded: “Old fox, you’re clearly just trying to be a bystander. What do you mean ‘peace is the most important’? If you’re really thinking about the sect, then you should personally step in and pacify everyone in the sect.

Gu Ruoxuan’s expression showed some hesitation when he heard this, and said: “Third protector, the sect is currently in a state of panic, although you have repeatedly emphasized that the sect master will return in the near future, but there are still many disciples spreading the news that the sect master has perished, and have even determined that the Fourth Protector broke out of the sect today, because of this reason.”

“Bullshit!” When Yu Ruotong heard this, he was furious, “Didn’t the sect’s protectors and several deacons personally see that the sect master’s Soul Lamp was safe and sound?

Without waiting for Gu Ruoxuan to say more, Yu Ruotong continued: “It must be Lu Ruoming. Seems like this kid is determined to leave, and is willing to use this kind of method to split the entire sect.”

Gu Ruoxuan lowered his voice and said: “Then what should we do next? Why don’t you take out the sect master’s Soul Lamps and let everyone see? ”

Yu Ruotong shook his head: “It’s useless. If someone truly believes that the sect master is already dead, even if they say that he’s a Soul Lamp, it would still be said to be false, not to mention that Soul Lamp is located in the sect’s secret grounds. To be asked out, one would need to be three of the Four Protectors.

Gu Ruoxuan asked curiously: “But if Fourth Protector knows that the sect master hasn’t perished yet, why does he still dare to openly split the sect? Is he not afraid that the sect master would return to settle the score with him in the future?”

Yu Ruotong laughed coldly, “After that battle a few months ago, it seems like many people felt that Sect Master, as a Immortal Celestial Lord, was only mediocre. It seems like the number of Golden Immortals in the starry sky that could challenge the might of Immortal Celestial Lord has increased by a lot.”

A strange expression flashed across Gu Ruoxuan’s face, but he said, “Even so, do the Four Protectors not know of Sect Master’s strength?”

Yu Ruotong explained: “Lu Ruoming was originally a member of a Golden Immortal family, but after the incident, he had an argument with his stepmother and was expelled from the family. Unexpectedly, Lu Ruoming had some aptitudes, and not only did he successfully ascend to the Immortal Realm decades later, he was accepted by the sect master, and even helped him remake his body to the Golden Immortal Realm after three hundred years. Now that his original clan’s old father has passed away and his stepmother is still alive, there are people in the clan who want him to return as the next generation Patriarch.

Gu Ruoxuan’s expression became even more dejected, and said softly: “Then, Third Guard, what should we do next?”

Yu Ruotong thought for a while, then asked: “How many people are still under my command?”

Gu Ruoxuan said: “This subordinate has already secretly made contact with the other deacons, and is willing to stand by our side, excluding the three of us, the rest are all spectating, only two or three of them who would normally be close to Fourth Guard, are all avoiding this subordinate.”

After Yu Ruotong heard the news, a look of anger surfaced on his face, and he said: “These things that eat the enemy inside, I really want them to pay the price right now.”

Gu Ruoxuan immediately advised: “Don’t be angry Third Guard, no matter what, most of us have chosen to stay neutral and wait and see, like the First Protector. If we force them too much, we will force them to stay on the Fourth Protector’s side.”

Hearing that, Yu Ruotong’s anger was immediately vented, but he was still unwilling, and said fiercely: “If only Old Tang was still here!”

Gu Ruoxuan carefully asked: “Then what do we do next, find trouble with Fourth Guard?”

Yu Ruotong’s originally furious expression immediately calmed down, and said. “No, guard this galactic longboat first.”
