Chapter 284: Chapter 63: Five Sects (5000th Update)_1

Yuhuang Peak.

The first peak of Chen State.

Standing at an incredible height of 25,613 zhang, it holds the reputation of being the top pillar of Chen State.

It dominates the eastern mountain range of Chen State, and from its peak, a Golden Core Craftsman could view nearly half of Chen State.

Because of its sparse population, even the Incense Fire Dao, with its rampage, has yet to claim this land.

This day, more than twenty figures silently descended onto Yuhuang Peak.

These figures were subtly divided into five groups.

Among them, the leader of a certain group was unmistakably Ji Lan, the former Sect Master of the East Saint Sect.

Behind him was a young female cultivator with frosty expressions and a cold demeanor who was carrying a sword. If Wang Ba were here, he would definitely recognize her, as she was his acquaintance, Ye Lingyu.

However, Ye Lingyu, who was supposed to be in her prime, bore a ruthless countenance, hardly ever spoke or laughed, and for some strange reason looked overly mature.

Besides her, four Golden Core Craftsmen were trailing Ji Lan.

It appeared that the entire upperlevel of the East Saint Sect had been brought here.

Ji Lan greeted everyone with a gentle smile and then cordially started to exchange pleasantries with the groups present:

“An honor to meet you, Master Ci Ren.”

“Brother Zhong, your sword intent is growing more impressive by the day. Truly worthy of being Chen State’s top swordsman.”

“Master Shi…haha, you’re too kind, Master Shi. We ought to share our knowledge on Spirit Beast cultivation, learn from each other’s strengths…We too have benefited greatly.”

“Haha, Master Xiong, I can’t seem to find Master Pang from your sect?”

A skinny middle-aged man chuckled at these words:

“Master Pang came across a treasure not long ago that brings some benefit to the physical body, hence he has gone into seclusion for cultivation.”

“Furthermore, with all of our top members present here, we needed to leave one or two people behind in our sect to keep an eye on things. So, he couldn’t come.”

Around him, all Golden Core Craftsmen came to a halt when they heard these words.

Ji Lan, however, was taken aback and smiled pleasantly:

“Wonderful! Master Pang’s physical prowess is second only to the Immortal Master of Nascent Soul, but now if he progresses further, won’t he step into the Nascent Soul realm?”

“Once Master Pang emerges from his seclusion, with the combined force of our five sects, we are sure to clear the universe and purify Chen State!”

“Wonderful! Truly delightful!”

The skinny middle-aged man was humble and said he did not dare to assume such things.

The other sects and masters were slightly taken aback, but quickly reacted and offered their congratulations.

However, their thoughts about this varied greatly.

The balance that had been maintained among the five major sects of Chen State for many years, due to the absence of an Immortal Master of Nascent Soul, was now about to be broken as Pang Xiao of Mountain Sea Sect was about to step into the Nascent Soul realm…

Some were already muttering concerns in their heart upon hearing this.

Yet, they were incapable of doing anything about it despite having other considerations. After all, Pang Xiao had both a higher seniority than everyone present and his power was comparable to an Immortal Master of Nascent Soul. He originally held the title of the top individual in Chen State.

This title was only given up after Ning Daohuan of Tianmen Cult arrived.

After all, no matter how strong Pang Xiao was, he was only on par with an Immortal Master of Nascent Soul. Ning Daohuan, on the other hand, was indeed an Immortal Master of Nascent Soul.

“Speaking of Ning Daohuan, I don’t know why but he hasn’t made a single move yet.”

The Master of the Dari School, Ci Ren Pengcuo, dressed in a grand red robe, subtly shifted the topic of conversation with a puzzled look.

Upon hearing the name Ning Daohuan, all the people atop the peak showcased grave expressions.

Master Shi of the Jiuling Sect agreed:

“Indeed, this Ning Daohuan is really keeping a low profile! Until now, he has only sent out a single Golden Core Craftsman to maintain the status quo.”

“However…this Incense Fire Dao is also a threat. When we previously chose to leave them be, it was only a small group, but we had no idea that they actually hid four Golden Core Craftsmen. Had it not been for Tianmen Cult’s Golden Core attacking and capturing ‘Zhongyuan City’, pushing them into desperation, we might still be in the dark about this.”

“That’s right. It seems that Incense Fire Dao, as Ning Daohuan indicated, is indeed not a small problem. However, we can take advantage now, right when they are about to fight each other, we can annihilate them in one fell swoop!”

Zhong Bu of the Chihe Sword Sect, stated with a murderous intent.

Upon hearing these words, everyone nodded their agreement.

Only Ji Lan frowned slightly.

Master Xiong of the Mountain Sea Sect on his side noticed this and asked curiously: “Martial Uncle Ji seems to have a different opinion?”

Ji Lan quickly smiled and said:

“On the contrary, I strongly agree with Zhong’s plan. I just…”

“I do not worry too much about the Incense Fire Dao. Though they have significant influence, within Chen State they’ve already been blocked by us and cannot spread any further. It’s not that hard to eliminate them. However, what worries me is Ning Daohuan from Tianmen Cult.”

“I have had a confrontation with him before. This man is extremely calculating and careful in his approach. He’s well aware of the fact that we, the five sects of Chen State, harbor hostility towards him from the shadows, but would he really fight to death with Incense Fire Dao, waiting for us to take the advantage?”

“I fear there’s a trap hidden therein.”

Ji Lan’s words cautioned everyone present.

Ci Ren Pengcuo of the Dari School agreed:

“Martial Uncle Ji’s words make sense. We do need to stay on guard against this man, Ning Daohuan. According to Ji, within Tianmen Cult there are twenty Golden Core Craftsmen residing in five major areas. Their foundation exceeds any of our sects. Don’t take them lightly and do your utmost!”

“Agreed!”

“Agreed!”

All the Golden Core Craftsmen nodded in unison.

“Next, we need to see how this confrontation between Tianmen Cult and Incense Fire Dao turns out.”

Ji Lan quietly gazed towards a small dark point in the west with twinkling eyes.

There, was the original location of the East Saint Sect.
