Chapter 420: Killing Spiritual Division
"This makes more sense. If there wasn't anyone paying attention, the Blood Spirit Sect would have openly slaughtered any form of life they liked to refine Blood Spirit Pills long ago. Why bother hiding behind the scenes?"
Looking at Immortal Void Rush, Fang Chen felt a sense of camaraderie rising within him.
From her words, it was evident that she had come to Grand Qian prepared and had secretly deployed personnel, waiting for the Blood Spirit Sect to reveal their hand.
"The Blood Spirit Sect has its people, but there are people behind Immortal Void Rush too. Kunlong Battle General is at the Nascent Soul Realm, just like Immortal Void Rush. Their strengths are evenly matched."
"Remember, you need to be prepared during this time. The Blood Spirit Sect may strike at any moment to kill you," Immortal Void Rush said again, looking at Dongfang Haojie.
"Immortal Void Rush, I have a question. Since the Blood Spirit Sect's poisoning attempt failed, wouldn't it be obvious what their intentions were? Even if no one knew that they were the ones who did it, everyone would be able to piece together that it wasn't Grand Qian who assassinated me, so the Blood Spirit Sect wouldn't be able to achieve their intended goal. Would they still try to assassinate me?" Dongfang Haojie voiced his doubts.
Immortal Void Rush sneered. "The Blood Spirit Sect is unpredictable in this regard. Do you really think that their men are only stationed in Grand Qian? The Azure Cloud Empire, Hidden Immortal Empire... All of them have cultivators of the Spirit Blood Sect. As long as there's an excuse, no matter how flimsy, they'll be used.”
Dongfang Haojie sucked in a breath of cold air.
That person had said the exact same thing as Immortal Void Rush!
Immortal Void Rush sighed lightly. "If you see that cultivator who warned you before, tell him to come see me. We are in dire need of talents like him, especially in the current situation of Azure Cloud Empire, where manpower is completely insufficient. Unfortunately, if Fang Tingyuan hadn't been deceived back then, he should have been able to replace my position in the Azure Cloud Empire."
Dongfang Haojie was slightly surprised. "Fang Tingyuan? The person from the Fang family?"
Fang Chen froze.
Immortal Void Rush nodded lightly. "Yes, Fang Tingyuan is one of us."
"You... Wait, Immortal Void Rush, when you say 'us,' do you mean...?" Dongfang Haojie cautiously asked.
"Perhaps she might know something. That female demoness from before, it couldn't be her, right?" Fang Chen looked at Master Immortal Void Rush with a pensive expression. If it were her, then Master Chanyuan would surely have some peculiar reaction upon seeing Master Immortal Void Rush.
Should he personally meet with Master Immortal Void Rush?
Forget it, let's see how things unfold.
Suppressing his thoughts, Fang Chen withdrew his consciousness and then swiftly employed the Shadow Buddha Technique to head toward the Imperial Palace. Walking within the shadows, he effortlessly entered the palace, faintly sensing the restrained yet formidable aura of the several Nascent Soul Realm experts.
"Young Master, why don't we return to Grand Wei first? We might fall victim to schemers again if we stay any longer," Nie Tianyuan whispered.
Several Golden Core Realm cultivators from Grand Wei also joined in persuading Dongfang Haojie. Among them was Immortal Tianwu.
"No, we're not leaving. The trade conference hasn't started yet, and I haven't acquainted myself with Fairy Tianyin. Leaving now would be pointless, wouldn't it? You don't need to worry; it must be some petty individuals trying to sow discord between Grand Qian and Grand Wei, hence the poisoning. Now that I'm staying by Master Immortal Void Rush's side, those petty individuals wouldn't dare to act recklessly," Dongfang Haojie firmly refused.
Nie Tianyuan wanted to persuade him further, but Dongfang Haojie said he was tired and dismissed them all.
Dongfang Haojie then suddenly erected a spiritual barrier and whispered, "Hey, since you're so concerned about the Spirit Blood Sect, you must know about me getting poisoned, right? You were one of the people present in the hall today, weren't you?
"If you're here, then come out and talk to me. Master Immortal Void Rush wants to see you. Don't worry, she has absolutely no connection with the Blood Spirit Sect. On the contrary, her background might surprise you!"
Dongfang Haojie waited for a while, and when he saw that there wasn't any response, he muttered, "It seems like you're not here...."
He was about to remove the spiritual barrier when he suddenly heard a whisper in his ear.
"I won’t meet Immortal Void Rush for now, but I want to tell you that Tong Hu and his son from the Jade River Pavilion are from the Spirit Blood Sect. Jue Wudi is also one of them. Fang Shang from the second branch of the Fang Family is too.
"And the ancestor of the Southern Heavenly Sect from the Flame Empire also comes from the Spirit Blood Sect. He's currently in the Imperial Capital of Grand Qian. The Nascent Soul Realm expert lurking in Grand Qian is the Kunlun Battle General."
