Immortal Martial Arts: Marry a Wife and Live a Long Life

Chapter 48: Reactions from All Sides

In the Xuantian Hall, a sense of gloom hung in the air.

Although Tianxuan Mountain was one of the four major sects in Leizhou, it was far inferior to the Great Qian Dynasty. It wasn't even one of the top ten sects.

Faced with the powerful Great Qian Dynasty, Tianxuan Mountain had no choice but to obey their orders. Otherwise, the Great Qian Dynasty wouldn't mind wiping out any disobedient sects.

In this great whirlpool, Tianxuan Mountain didn't have much confidence in the Great Qian Dynasty, but they were forced to stand on their side. However, this didn't mean that Tianxuan Mountain would wholeheartedly serve the Great Qian Dynasty willingly.

"The presence of the Martial Peace Prince in the Three Provinces definitely has a purpose. The eradication of the remnants of the White Lotus Sect is just the first step and a test for the major sects in the Three Provinces to see if they are in sync with the Great Qian Dynasty," a Soul Refining elder said in a deep voice.

Qiu Shuilin nodded and continued, "What we need to do is to publicly align ourselves with the Great Qian Dynasty, try not to exert too much effort, and preserve our strength so as not to become cannon fodder for the Great Qian Dynasty."

The other three elders also expressed their opinions and suggestions one after another, then they all looked at the sect master, Gong Sunyun.

After some contemplation, Gong Sunyun slowly said, "Alright, Qiu Junior Brother, go to the inner courtyard and announce this matter, calling on disciples to participate and investigate the traces of the remnants of the White Lotus Sect."

"We don't need to exert too much effort, just participate. Of course, if we accidentally discover the traces of the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, we need to report it to the sect immediately."

The five elders breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and smiled. Fortunately, the sect master wasn't swayed by the rewards mentioned by the Martial Peace Prince, otherwise Tianxuan Mountain would be in trouble.

In Leizhou, there were four major sects in the Thunder Province, four major sects in the Fire Province, and five major sects in the Qing Province, with the Canghai Sect being one of the top ten sects.

Tianxuan Mountain, Xijian Pool, Canghai Sect, and even the Hehuan Sect all had the same idea. No one would fight desperately for the Great Qian Dynasty. If the Great Qian Dynasty fell, they could seek refuge with other forces and still survive, just with a different overlord.

Leizhou, Hehuan Sect.

A high-level meeting was also held in the main hall, and the response strategy was quickly determined.

Watching the departing elders, the sect master of the Hehuan Sect, Yan Liuli, sighed. Being a sect master was really exhausting.

Back then, when the Yin Yang Sect wanted to intervene in the Great Qian Dynasty and make a move, they sent four batches of people. In the end, only her batch succeeded in establishing a foothold in Leizhou.

The other three batches went to nearby provinces to establish sects, and all of them, including the three Empty Void Masters, died. This was a warning from the Great Qian Dynasty.

The reason her batch was able to stay was mainly due to luck. Because Leizhou was adjacent to the Yin Yang Sect's territory, the bottom line for the Great Qian Dynasty was to let the Yin Yang Sect establish a foothold in Leizhou. If they had chosen another province, the Great Qian Dynasty would have mercilessly crushed the pawns.

When she chose to come to Leizhou, she also had this consideration. The Great Qian Dynasty wouldn't push the Yin Yang Sect too hard and would leave room for retreat, which was Leizhou. If it weren't for someone supporting her from behind, she wouldn't have been able to choose Leizhou.

The Hehuan Sect had been based in Leizhou for more than 140 years, but they still couldn't break free from the control of the Great Qian Dynasty.

The fact that the Great Qian Dynasty allowed them to enter was because they were confident in controlling the Hehuan Sect and wouldn't let them infiltrate other provinces.

"But we're finally about to break free."

Thinking of the news her master had sent, a smile appeared on Yan Liuli's enchanting face.

In just a few more years, she would be able to return to the Yin Yang Sect and obtain the treasure she had longed for, thus advancing to become a Myriad Manifestations Realm Grandmaster.

As for the tasks assigned by the Martial Peace Prince, Yan Liuli didn't care. Although the Hehuan Sect nominally belonged to the rule of the Great Qian Dynasty, who didn't know that the Hehuan Sect was a branch of the Yin Yang Sect?

She just needed the disciples of the sect to show some support while investigating the incident involving Cui Ping's supposed death, giving face to the Martial Peace Prince.

Han Li shifted the blame onto the White Lotus Sect, and Zhenyi Prefecture also added fuel to the fire. But Yan Liuli wasn't foolish and wasn't deceived. The government of Leizhou didn't take any major actions, indicating that the Undying Mother and the White Lotus Sect's Law King were still moving between the Qing Province and the Fire Province.

Qing Province, Canghai Sect.

Main hall.

"Bang!"

The head of the Canghai Sect smashed the armrest into pieces, still filled with anger on his face.

"These brats dare to disrespect the Canghai Sect too much!"

In the main hall, nearly twenty Empty Void Grandmasters and Soul Refining True Immortals also had angry expressions, their resentment towards the Great Qian Dynasty reaching its peak.

Their sect's treasured artifact, the Body Refining Furnace, was lost, and the Great Qian Dynasty had an undeniable responsibility. If it weren't for the Great Qian Dynasty's failure to exterminate the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, if it weren't for the Great Qian Dynasty's interference and attempts to seize it, if it weren't for the Great Qian Dynasty's constant disruptions, the Body Refining Furnace would have been retrieved long ago, or it might not have been lost at all.

But when the Martial Ancestral King arrived in Huozhou and summoned the leaders of various factions to announce something, he specifically emphasized the Canghai Sect.

Speaking of the Canghai Sect being the only one of the ten major sects in the three provinces, with profound heritage, and Qingzhou being the Canghai Sect's headquarters, they had to put in more effort to besiege the Undying Mother. After the matter was accomplished, the Great Qian Dynasty would provide various rewards and so on. This made the Canghai Sect sick to their stomachs.

Although infuriated, the head of the Canghai Sect didn't lose his mind. He knew very well that the Canghai Sect couldn't confront the Great Qian Dynasty alone. When it was necessary to bow down, they still had to bow down and arrange things accordingly.

Of course, they wouldn't put in any effort. Even if they exterminated the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, they still wouldn't be able to retrieve the Body Refining Furnace. The Canghai Sect was just venting, while the Great Qian Dynasty would gain tangible benefits.

"How is the progress on Bai Ye's side?"

After calming his anger, the head of the Canghai Sect regained his calm expression and inquired of an Empty Void Grandmaster.

The Empty Void Grandmaster with white beard and hair smiled and said, "Head, my disciple has recently sent news that there are already leads on the Body Refining Furnace, but further confirmation is still needed."

"Let her do it as soon as possible. The Body Refining Furnace must not fall into the hands of others."

After thinking for a moment, the head of the Canghai Sect added, "If Bai Ye successfully brings back the Body Refining Furnace, she will be given a spot in the End of the World Secret Realm."

The head of the Canghai Sect glanced at the restless crowd and said lightly, "The same goes for your disciples and grandchildren."

After speaking, the head of the Canghai Sect left. Many elders of the Canghai Sect exchanged glances, their expressions varied, and they dispersed one after another.

"The End of the World Secret Realm, I hope Bai Ye can succeed." The last to leave, the white-bearded Grandmaster sighed.

Huozhou, the capital city.

The Martial Ancestral King stood with his hands behind his back, leisurely enjoying the view in the garden.

"Your Highness, if one didn't know, they would think you came to Huozhou for sightseeing." A middle-aged man in a blue robe smiled and said.

Chu Hao's expression remained calm as he replied, "More or less."

The remnants of the White Lotus Sect and the newly promoted Undying Mother in the Myriad Manifestations Realm were nothing. Was it necessary for him to personally besiege them?

With a few orders, the Undying Mother wouldn't last long, and Wan Guiyuan and Yang Tianxiong could handle it.

He didn't care whether the various factions in the three provinces would contribute. He needed these people to show their stance. If any sect defied him, he would establish his authority.

He came to the three provinces for another matter, a plan that concerned the entire Great Qian Dynasty. If it succeeded, the Great Qian Dynasty would have a future. If it failed, the Great Qian Dynasty would be on the verge of collapse.

"Opportunity, oh opportunity, the Supervisor said that the opportunity for me to advance to the True Martial Realm is within these three provinces: Leizhou, Qingzhou, and Huozhou. But where exactly? And when will it appear?"

Chu Hao's eyes were as deep as stars as he looked at the swimming koi in the pond, whispering to himself.
