Although Heavenly Vision Mountain only stretched for dozens of miles, the main peak was tall and straight with jagged rocks and countless rare beasts. It was also the center of the underground Spirit Vein.

The Heavenly Vision Sect was located here.

At this moment, in the Xuanji Pavilion on the peak of the mountain, several elders of the Heavenly Vision Sect gathered together and were discussing matters with solemn expressions.

Sitting in the main seat was a Daoist Priest with white hair and beard. Although he was old, he induced a graceful aura all over his body, and his cultivation base even reached the Core Formation Stage Great Perfection, which was also the legendary False Nascent Soul Realm.

He was the current Sect Master of the Heavenly Vision Sect – Daoist Master Ku Mu!

The other elders were also Daoists but more vulgar in bearing. Although their cultivation base was a bit weaker, without exception, they were all cultivators of the Core Formation Stage

“Dear junior brothers, what do you think about the Righteous and Demonic Paths trying to win us over?” On the tea table in front of the old man, two massage talismans were placed on the left and right, one emitted a golden light and the other a black aura. Needless to say, they were naturally letters sent from both sides.

Several elders closed their eyes, rested their minds, or bowed their heads to meditate, but after a while, no one came out to express their opinions. Daoist Master Ku Mu’s expression could not help but turn ugly, and he coughed softly, “Why the silence, this sect has reached its moment of life and death? Are you still turning a blind eye and unwilling to give any suggestions?”

“Hehe, Senior Brother, you’re exaggerating, the two factions are still wrangling with each other. Although the situation is tense, I’m afraid it’s far away from a war. Besides, even if it came to that, why would there be a disaster?” An old man with a dark complexion said disapprovingly.

“That’s right, what’s more, our Heavenly Vision Sect isn’t the only sect that they’re trying to rope in. As early as ten years ago, they have been constantly trying to win over the Spirit Pill Mountain. The Spirit Pill Mountain has not yet expressed its position, and there is no big trouble that’s going to happen.” The one who spoke this time was a big guy with an arrogant look. Obviously, he also agreed with the opinions of the dark-faced old man.

Daoist Master Ku Mu’s complexion turned between a shade of blue and pale white, he looked terrible. In the past two hundred years, this sect’s talents had declined. Not their level of cultivation, but their skills in the management of sect affairs. Each one only practiced hard in seclusion. Their ideas of ??the world were simple and naive.

That was why he had spent a lot of time and energy dealing with the trifles of the sect. Otherwise, he might have had a chance at breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage. Now, he had less than 20 years of lifespan remaining and there was no hope in this life.

It wasn’t that bad that he would die, but if he passed away, this big Heavenly Vision faction would probably decline.

At the thought of this, a trace of sadness rose from the bottom of his heart. He sighed and said, “Everyone, how can we be compared with Spirit Pill Mountain? Not to mention that they have a large number of alchemists who drive a balance between the Righteous and Demonic Paths, the strength of our Heavenly Vision Mountain does not compare with it. “

“Hmph! Senior Brother, why are you so worried? The hidden strength of Spirit Pill Mountain is just a rumor. Even if it’s true, there’s certainly a lot of exaggeration, I don’t believe their sect really hid a Nascent Soul Stage Expert.” The arrogant big guy still had a look of disapproval.

“Junior Brother Zheng,” Daoist Master Ku Mu’s face turned more and more gloomy. He said coldly, “Whether it’s true or false, in short, it made both factions hesitate. And this sect does not have such favorable conditions. Now that the Big Three and the Extreme Demon Venerable have both sent us a letter, we are forced to take a stand…”

“These guys are too unreasonable. Our Heavenly Vision Sect has nothing to do with them, and we don’t want to get involved in their disputes. We just want to stay in the northern region and live our own life. Isn’t that okay?” The dark-skinned old man said angrily.

“Junior Brother…” Seeing his angry expression, Daoist Master Ku Mu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, “You have been cultivating for three hundred years. Although you don’t care about the world, you should know the basic rules of the cultivation world. In this world, the size of one’s fist is what matters. Who would be reasonable to you?”

The dark-skinned old man scratched his head and still looked puzzled.

Daoist Master Ku Mu wasn’t bothered to talk to this old man who was ignorant of worldly affairs, he turned his head and looked at another cultivator, “Junior Brother Ning, don’t you have any good advice?”

This person looked to be about thirty years old and was the youngest among the elders present. His surname was Ning, and his name was Tianyu. He had just succeeded in his Core Formation three years ago.

Although he was the elder with the least seniority and the weakest cultivation, the sect master has always regarded him highly. It was because this person was quite talented, although not as good as himself, but compared to the others, he was much better.

Therefore, since his Core Formation was successful, the sect has focused on cultivating him, hoping to smoothen his edges and corners before his lifespan runs out, and he was training him to be more tactful in handling affairs. Perhaps, this person would be the next Sect Master. With him in charge, the Heavenly Vision Sect probably wouldn’t fall apart.

Today, it seemed that he was holding a meeting with each of his junior fellow disciples, but in fact, he wanted to hear more on how Ning Tianyu would deal with this matter. After all, the current times were difficult. If he took one wrong step, he might be doomed. He wanted to train him a little. But he didn’t expect that he would be silent since he took his seat.

Hearing this, Ning Tianyu stood up and said, “Sect Master, in my humble opinion, we shouldn’t make a decision too early on this matter.”

“Don’t make an early decision?”

“Yes, the situation is unclear. On the surface, the two sides are evenly matched. But God knows what secrets they have at the bottom of the box. If we made a rash decision. Once we stand in the wrong camp, we will regret it.” Ning Tianyu talked fluently, his delay was obviously due to the careful consideration.

“But we can’t delay!” Daoist Master Ku Mu thought for a moment and said, “Both factions are not fools. We don’t have the capital of the Spirit Pill Mountain. If the other party’s patience runs out, we will be burnt by both of them…”

“Haha, you’re overthinking. Although they used both hard and soft tactics in the letters, and they repeatedly forced us to show our stance, they won’t take action even if we drag it on.”

“Oh, why do you say that?”

Daoist Master Ku Mu was intrigued, and when he was about to ask for more details. A sound transmission note suddenly came in from the outside. He grabbed it with his hand and injected his Spiritual Sense into it. His expression suddenly became extremely complicated.

Was there any unexpected change?
