Chapter 874: Chapter 831: News from within the Red Leaf Sect

Hao Qing gave Wan Changqing a sidelong glance, "If you’re just here to spectate, then spectate. Why give yourself more trouble? If that day really comes, Red Leaf Sect will surely target you first. No matter how we put it, we’re a step or two slower than you. I actually feel a bit sorry for the Immortal Sect now. It’s just that they picked the wrong location to establish their sect. If they had chosen a different place, the Red Leaf Sect might not have noticed them. Without Red Leaf Sect’s interference, among all these Five-star Influences in the Land of the Fourteen Cities, who would dare provoke the Immortal Sect?"

When Hao Qing spoke, there was a touch of regret in his tone for the current situation of the Immortal Sect. Of course, towards the end of his speech, there was a hint of disdain because he looked down on these Five-star Influences the most. If the Red Leaf Sect isn’t involved, would they dare to provoke the Immortal Sect?

Take the Luo Family from Baiyue City for instance, after being defeated once, they’ve chosen to avoid even encountering Immortal Sect disciples. Yet now they’re all acting more aggressive than anyone else.

Wan Changqing, standing aside, also chimed in, "There’s already the precedent of the Nanhua Sect, who would dare provoke the Immortal Sect now? The Sect Leader of Nanhua Sect barely escaped the front of the Immortal Sect that day, and everyone thought he would seize a slim chance for life, but who would’ve expected the Immortal Sect’s Earth Unrestricted Expert to give not even a thread of hope, directly pursuing him to the Nanhua Sect and slaying him in front of the entire sect. From that moment on, who would dare provoke the Immortal Sect? You could say that in the Red Domain, aside from the three Overlord Level forces and the Domain Master, who could make the Immortal Sect lower their heads or know any fear, what other Five-star Influence could possibly do so?"

When Wan Changqing spoke these words, he was exuberant, like a storyteller. It was obvious his mood was genuinely excited, as if he were a part of the Immortal Sect himself. However, after a glance at the street, the excitement in his eyes slowly dimmed again.

Hao Qing also sighed, a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, looking helplessly at Wan Changqing, who had been so excited just now.

"You think you’ve found a backer, don’t you? I’ve seen how happy you’ve been these past few days."

Wan Changqing shook his head, "Not really. I foresaw this day would come, so I never considered siding with the Immortal Sect. Even when the Nanhua Sect’s Sect Leader was killed! The reason I’m happy is just from seeing these Five-star Influences acting so fearful."

What could be more delightful than seeing these local tyrants acting all timid and fearful?

The two of them stood on the spot, exchanged a few more sentiments, and then walked down the street and left.

After Wan Changqing and his companion left together, the discussions about the Immortal Sect in Ye City showed no sign of stopping, as people coming and going on the streets tirelessly discussed the matter, getting more and more animated as they talked.

How many years had it been since such an event occurred around Star Sword Mountain? The last time it was this lively was when Red Leaf Sect attacked the Lingxiao Sword Sect.

Seventy-two Five-star Influences, with seventy to eighty Earth Unrestricted Lower Realm experts alone, plus those few Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm experts. Such a formation, aside from the three Overlord Level forces in the Red Domain, which other Five-star Influence would dare say they’re not afraid?

After night fell, the streets and alleys remained the same.

Some sat by the wine tables, chatting leisurely.

Others were in teahouses, venting their grand words.

Everyone’s focus was on the Immortal Sect and the seventy-two Five-star Influences, and most people were even too lazy to attend to their everyday cultivation.

"Tonight, the seventy-two Five-star Influences should all have arrived, right?"

"Almost. If all goes well, a friend of mine from the Luo Family told me there are still three or four forces whose Earth Unrestricted experts haven’t arrived yet. However, if they don’t act tonight, the other forces surely won’t wait any longer, since the arrow is already on the string and must be released. Those few other Five-star Influences who don’t want to share a piece of the pie, no one will care about them."

"If the Immortal Sect is destroyed, the magic arts will surely fall into the hands of these Five-star Influences or the Red Leaf Sect. What a pity, I haven’t even had the chance to join the Immortal Sect to learn their magic yet."

...

Under the night sky, people were endlessly discussing.

At this moment, on a tall building in Ye City, where only a few lights were twinkling, a solemn Chen Xie was gazing into the distance, staring at Ye City’s dark night.

He was also listening to the discussions of the people below.

After a long while, the Sound Transmission Stone in his hand suddenly had some movement.

"Tower Master, the matter has been taken care of!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xie’s solemn face suddenly changed to another expression, like a gloomy day suddenly turning into a bright sunny day.

Looking again at Ye City, the areas with flickering lights were exceptionally lively and bustling.

Amidst the liveliness, all the gloom vanished without a trace.

Such niceness!

How nice indeed!

...

On the west side of Ye City.

A demon rider galloped into the city, rushing swiftly towards a target, paying no attention or regard to the pedestrians along the way.

If they got hurt, it would be their bad luck.

If they got killed, it would just be his good fortune.

This demon rider charged in such a rampant manner, yet no one dared to stop it, not even Mountain Suppression Realm experts who saw it could do anything but step aside.

Because it came from one of the Fourteen Cities, Celestial Extinction City—the Kong Family, one of the top Five-star Influences around Star Sword Mountain.

No weaker than Nanhua Sect at its peak!

The demon rider halted behind a heavily guarded inn, with the expert on the demon’s back immediately shouting loudly before even entering the door.

"Clan Leader, something major has happened!"

Kong Cheng, the Patriarch of the Kong Family, who was having a drink in the inn, immediately had his expression turn serious, about to burst out in anger and reprimand such a rash subordinate. But upon seeing the person who came, Kong Cheng immediately stood up and drove all the maids out of the room.

"What happened?"

"Red Leaf Sect has announced—six days ago, a mysterious expert from the Immortal Sect suddenly attacked Red Leaf Sect, and more than fifty Earth Unrestricted experts, including the Eastern Vice Sect Leader, have all fallen!"

"What?!"

Kong Cheng was stunned.

The Eastern Vice Sect Leader—Dongjin!

A top presence among the Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm. He was killed?

And it was within the Red Leaf Sect!

At the same time, more than fifty Earth Unrestricted Elders were killed.

Unbelievable.

"Is this true?"

"Absolutely true! Although I suddenly received this news and did not witness it with my own eyes, I confirmed it through other subordinate forces of Red Leaf Sect, and they did indeed receive such an announcement."

"No wonder the Immortal Sect hasn’t made any move till now, completely ignoring us. I naively thought they were avoiding battle, that they were afraid." Upon saying this, Kong Cheng was silent, then began pacing back and forth in the room.

After a while, Kong Cheng paused.

The moment he stopped, he made a deep decision, "Withdraw."

With so many Earth Unrestricted experts killed in the Red Leaf Sect, if he were still to attack the Immortal Sect, how would it be any different from seeking death?

In less than a quarter of an hour, the inn was emptied.

No one from the Kong Family stayed in Ye City.

At the same time, many other Five-star Influences also received this news. Initially, they were incredulous, but when they went to consult the Kong Family, they found that the Kong Family had long vanished without a trace. Although reluctant to believe, they realized it was true.

"The Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking, held once every century, is about to start. After careful consideration, I think it’s best to return and oversee those youngsters. We won’t involve ourselves in the Immortal Sect’s matters. As for the magic arts, I leave them to you."

With that, an Earth Unrestricted expert immediately soared into the sky from the inn, disappearing above Ye City in the blink of an eye.

The rest exchanged looks and then all smiled.

"It’s said that Red Leaf Sect has several hundred participants this time, with over fifty of them reaching the Mountain Suppression Realm before the age of forty. Although my Chen Family is small, we don’t have a prodigy who enters the Mountain Suppression Realm before forty, I still feel I can stand against the Red Leaf Sect. Don’t ask where my confidence comes from; the Chen Family has great ambitions. We won’t involve ourselves in Red Leaf Sect’s matters either."

With those words, the Patriarch of the Chen Family also soared into the sky and left.

Seeing two people leave in quick succession, the others naturally couldn’t remain.

Within an hour, a dozen Five-star Influences left the city overnight.

Of course, everyone left quietly and had their excuses ready.

By dawn, those who hadn’t left were only some of the clueless Five-star Influences who knew nothing.
