King of Creation
Chapter 915: Chapter 901: Upper Realm Envoy (First Update)
"Sect Hierarch, I want to know, what is your true plan?" Watching everyone else leave in single file, Ye Zhen dismissed the guards, and only until the grand hall was left with just Jian Qianxiong and Wu Ying hidden in the shadows did Ye Zhen ask.
"The true plan... as expected, I can’t hide it from you!"
Jian Qianxiong smiled bitterly before speaking. "Actually, even now, I’m still very conflicted and haven’t made a final decision!"
"The final decision, so to speak, means the Sect Hierarch’s plan is more than one?" Ye Zhen asked.
"The first plan, well, is very simple, to play by ear. After the Divine Sacrifice, both Wu Ying and I will definitely recover our Cultivation, using the Sect-Guarding Great Formation to resist the impending Allied Army.
At the same time, I will dispatch Special Envoys to the Heavenly Net Sect and Qingyun Castle, explaining the stakes to persuade them to withdraw from the Allied Army," Jian Qianxiong said.
"To persuade the Heavenly Net Sect and Qingyun Castle?"
"Sect Hierarch, that might be very difficult, almost impossible.
Both the Heavenly Net Sect and Qingyun Castle have clearly felt our Sun and Moon Divine Sect’s threat to them. As long as they are thinking rationally, they will definitely participate in the Allied Army to destroy our Sun and Moon Divine Sect." Ye Zhen said.
Only then did Ye Zhen realize how significant the impact of him annihilating the Stars Tower truly was.
The balance of the Five Great Forces in Qinglan Martial City has been maintained for so long, despite ongoing conflicts between them.
Through conflict, each force might win or lose some, gaining or losing power, but all Five Great Forces continued to exist.
When the Sun and Moon Divine Sect preemptively seized the Stars Tower’s territory, it accumulated a significant advantage, later achieving a great victory in Red Fire Martial City due to Ye Zhen.
The Sun and Moon Divine Sect’s influence and power surged comprehensively, bringing enormous pressure to the other four Great Forces.
However, this pressure was bearable and had occurred previously, such as when the Heavenly Net Sect had a dominant period a hundred years ago.
But the issue is, previously, despite any one sect’s dominance, it never directly eradicated the others entirely!
The overnight slaughter of the Stars Tower directly triggered this immense pressure!
Of course, this was not solely due to Ye Zhen’s actions. Given the current momentum of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, being targeted by a joint assault from the other factions was inevitable, now just hastened.
"Moreover, once those three factions attack together, especially the Longevity Sect and the Heavenly Net Sect, having previously suffered significant losses at our hands during the Red Fire Martial City conflict, they will exert full efforts in assaulting us!
In normal circumstances, defending will be very difficult!" Ye Zhen said.
"So, I have prepared a second plan!" Jian Qianxiong said.
"Second plan?" Ye Zhen was somewhat puzzled.
"Remember the highest secret of our Divine Sect that I showed you?" Jian Qianxiong reminded.
"Highest secret?"
Upon hearing those words, Ye Zhen’s face suddenly turned extremely grim. "Sect Hierarch, surely you don’t mean to..."
"That’s right, as it currently stands, that’s the only way to resolve the current predicament! And this time, the sacrifice provided just so happens to meet the requirements for reaching that stage!" Jian Qianxiong’s expression grew extraordinarily solemn.
Ye Zhen was getting anxious, "Sect Hierarch, didn’t you say that matter is too risky, and unless absolutely necessary, it cannot be used? Once used, isn’t it like suddenly inviting an ancestor?"
Jian Qianxiong chuckled wryly, "But the problem is, do I really have a choice now? Unless I’m willing to watch the Sun and Moon Divine Sect be obliterated with open eyes.
The efforts of sect leaders throughout the ages aside, the Sun and Moon Divine Sect represents nearly eighty years of my life’s passion!
You’ve seen that top-secret intel; if it was just Yan Wuji alone, it would be manageable. The key is the Longevity Sect has already reached that point; what do we have to confront the person they invited from the Upper Realm?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen’s expression changed drastically, "Really confirmed?"
"Confirmed! During this entire time, the focus of the Divine Sect’s Inner Affairs Hall has almost entirely been on that red-haired youth from the Longevity Sect, gathering a large amount of information about him!
We can confirm that this red-haired youth Pei Wei is the Upper Realm Special Envoy invited by the Longevity Sect!"
"Other than the identity as the Upper Realm Special Envoy, there is no other way to explain this red-haired youth’s special status within the Longevity Sect, not just equal footing in internal sect gatherings but also frequently consulted.
Six days ago, a minor conflict occurred within the Longevity Sect. When Jio Ling’s granddaughter Jio Miao was seen wandering and admired for her looks by Pei Wei, she was forcefully taken.
By the time others arrived, Pei Wei had already succeeded in his ’good deed’ with Jio Miao, Jio Ling’s granddaughter of the Four Divine Generals.
Jio Ling is definitely a senior elder within the Longevity Sect, but ultimately, not only was that red-haired youth Pei Wei not punished, Jio Ling even reluctantly acknowledged Pei Wei as his granddaughter’s husband.
Therefore, besides the identity as the Upper Realm Special Envoy, I cannot think of anyone else that Yin Changsheng would dare not to move against?" Jian Qianxiong said.
Ye Zhen sighed, "Sect Hierarch, aren’t you worried the same scene might occur in our Sun and Moon Divine Sect by inviting this Upper Realm Envoy?"
Jian Qianxiong hesitated before saying, "It shouldn’t be! The character of the Upper Realm Envoy can’t be that bad. Actually, based on information, the special envoy Pei Wei from the Longevity Sect, aside from lustfulness, is otherwise acceptable!"
"Is the Sect Hierarch gambling? Gambling with the destiny of the Divine Sect?"
Ye Zhen’s question plunged Jian Qianxiong into a long silence, making the atmosphere extraordinarily heavy.
The danger in this, how could Jian Qianxiong not know?
But now the situation is so dangerous, Jian Qianxiong has no other choice!
Just like the Longevity Sect before, they dealt with a large number of industries in a very short time, only then they were able to gather massive resources for the sacrifice, leading to the current situation.
In fact, the Longevity Sect was also forced at that time, Yin Changsheng was seriously injured, on the brink of death, and half of the elite of the Divine Sect was lost, being mortal enemies with the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, thus prompting such actions.
And now, how similar is the situation between the Sun and Moon Divine Sect and the Longevity Sect.
"Ye Zhen, you must understand, this old man now has no choice....." After a long silence, Jian Qianxiong said.
"Sect Hierarch, what if I can help you deal with Yan Wuji!" Ye Zhen suddenly spoke, shocking everyone with his words.
The reason Ye Zhen said this is because he has a strong sense of unease about that so-called Upper Realm Envoy.
This unease comes not only from Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul but also from the Mirage Dragon Pearl within Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen still remembers vividly the anomaly when he first worshipped the gods, the Mirage Dragon Pearl within him actually attempted to emerge from his body.
This unease from the bottom of his heart, from the Mirage Dragon Pearl, prompted Ye Zhen to stop Jian Qianxiong from taking this step.
Jian Qianxiong’s eyes suddenly lit up, "Deal with Yan Wuji? Impossible, right? You may have some mysterious Divine Power Secret Techniques, but trying to assassinate someone like Yan Wuji, that’s simply impossible!"
Ye Zhen shook his head, "It’s not me who’s dealing with Yan Wuji, but someone else, someone who can definitely withstand Yan Wuji head-on, and I can invite them to come!"
"How likely are you to invite them?"
"Over ninety percent!" Ye Zhen nodded heavily.
"In that case, it could indeed greatly reduce our pressure, but the difference in the number of Establishment Kings is still too great; the opponent has far more Establishment Kings than us!" Jian Qianxiong said.
"Sect Hierarch, I have two friends who are Establishment Kings, and I can invite them to help!" Ye Zhen said.
Jian Qianxiong was somewhat surprised, "In this situation, someone would still come to help? That’s unlikely, isn’t it?"
"Rest assured, Sect Hierarch, they owe me a favor, they must come!" Ye Zhen said.
"Two? What’s their strength?"
"One is Fifth Stage Establishment, and the other is Sixth Stage!" Ye Zhen said.
Hearing this, Jian Qianxiong’s eyebrows suddenly raised, quite surprised, "There are Establishment Kings of the Fifth and Sixth Stage who owe you a favor?
Which two?
Every Establishment King of the Fifth and Sixth Stage is renowned, tell me, which two are they, maybe this old man knows them."
"Ice Fiend King Luo Zhu and Illusion Formation King Chen Chi....."
"What, you can actually invite Ice Fiend King Luo Zhu and Illusion Formation King Chen Chi? And they owe you a favor?" Before Ye Zhen could finish speaking, Jian Qianxiong was startled by these two names and stood up.
Not considering the Soul Artifact Sun and Moon Divine Altar he holds, Ice Fiend King Luo Zhu and Illusion Formation King Chen Chi are beings on par with him, with extremely formidable combat power.
To Jian Qianxiong’s query, Ye Zhen just smiled and did not answer.
"If we can invite these two, with their astounding combat power, it would certainly increase our Sun and Moon Divine Sect’s chances of victory significantly. But there are still people from the three major forces who can rival these two....." Jian Qianxiong was still quite worried.
"Sect Hierarch, I also have a clever plan that can weaken the strength of the three major forces to some extent, especially the number of their Establishment Kings." Ye Zhen said.
"Oh, what clever plan?" Jian Qianxiong inquired.
"Listen carefully, Sect Hierarch!"
Subsequently, Ye Zhen began to communicate with Jian Qianxiong through their Divine Souls, and after a few breaths, the shock in Jian Qianxiong’s eyes grew more intense.
"Ye Zhen, are you really.... sure?" Jian Qianxiong queried doubtfully.
"Sect Hierarch, after all this time, do you still not have confidence in me?" Ye Zhen laughed.
"How could I?"
Jian Qianxiong laughed softly, "If this is so, then for this time dealing with the three major forces rallied by Yan Wuji, we wouldn’t even need to utilize that step from the highest secret of the sect.
Ah, actually, everyone knows, if we can avoid using it, we should avoid using it!"
"Our understanding of that step is still too sparse! Using it rashly may lead to unexpected consequences!" Ye Zhen said.
"Indeed, this time, thanks to you, otherwise the old man would have no choice but to take that step. After this battle, there are some things you should tell the old man, right?" Jian Qianxiong said with a smile, looking at Ye Zhen.
"Of course."
"Good!"
Jian Qianxiong heavily patted Ye Zhen’s shoulder, "Come on, prepare for the Divine Sacrifice! After the Divine Sacrifice begins, don’t forget that little tip the old man gave you!"
Jian Qianxiong’s reminder brought to Ye Zhen’s mind the mysterious old man who would appear and disappear without a trace! (To be continued.
