1208 Guarding the Burial Immortal City and Returning to Yuze Province (3)
Did it involve the Yunlan Dao Sect?
Han Muye frowned.
The Bitter Immortal Domain did not have much to do with the Yunlan Dao Sect, but it involved the arrangements of Immortal Lord Ming Yuan from the Heavenly Cycle Divine Realm.
“Is it because of Heaven Immortal Demon King Xiang Tian?” Han Muye asked.
“Yes, the Yunlan Dao Sect has shown signs of division, and there are disputes among the factions within the sect,” Li Yungang just spoke in a hushed tone.
Upon closer examination, it’s actually quite simple. The Yunlan Dao Sect was debating whether their own sect should adhere to the Dao of the immortal world and remain independent from the divine realm or sway towards the divine realm.
Originally, these two viewpoints were constantly entangled within the sect.
But this time was different.
When the remnant soul of the Immortal Lord fell into the hands of the Dao Sect, they knew more about the divine realm.
Moreover, this remnant had made some promises, enticing even the powerful members of the sect.
“Now, our sects have to be careful.” Li Yungang’s eyes revealed a trace of worry.
The Dao Sect was too powerful.
If the Dao Sect cooperated with the Divine Clan, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Perhaps, the split within the Dao Sect might be beneficial for the Sword Sect and other sects as well?
Could the Sword Sect be behind this push?
“Also,” Li Yun just hesitated a bit as he looked at Han Muye, “This time, when you finally shattered the bloodline essence in that giant cauldron, the Dao Sect and the Blood Battle Sect took offense.”
Han Muye shattered the pill formed from the nine-colored rays of light in that inheritance hall.
This prevented the puppets in the Burial Immortal City from advancing.
This blame was placed on the Sword Sect.
The various sects’ challenges were somewhat balanced by the fact that the Heavenly Radiance Sect and the Iron Armor War Sect stood behind the Sword Sect this time.
However, the Sword Sect had to pay a price.
“So, for the reinforcements going to the Burial Immortal City this time, is it only our Sword Sect?” Han Muye’s face showed a trace of coldness.
He didn’t want to implicate the Sword Sect.
Because he had always impersonated a disciple of the Mystic Spirit Sword Sect, he felt ashamed inside.
The Sword Sect’s actions were straightforward, and its senior sword cultivators had high moral standards, without any hidden motives.
But unexpectedly, this time, both the Dao Sect and the Blood Battle Sect intentionally sought trouble with him.
Even if he hadn’t shattered the nine-colored rays of light, Heaven Immortal Demon King Xiang Tian would have attacked.
“In the Burial Immortal City, numerous experts from our Fuyu Immortal Realm have been buried,” Li Yungang just nodded, whispering, “Comparatively, the danger in the Soul-Severing Valley is somewhat smaller.”
Han Muye had been punished for offending the Dao Sect by guarding one of the three forbidden lands.
The Soul-Severing Valley was where the Iron Armor War Sect was stationed and wasn’t open to outsiders.
However, if Han Muye went there, relying on the power of his Kui Bloodline, he might be able to survive for another 10 years.
But the Burial Immortal City was not so simple.
“You once exchanged a strike with Golden Immortal Spirit Sword. If you go to the Immortal Burial City, I’m afraid you really have to fight that guy.” Killing intent flashed in Li Yungang’s eyes.
Sword cultivators detested such schemes the most.
For them, it was better to settle things with a straightforward sword strike than to engage in intricate calculations.
“Burial Immortal City it is then.” Han Muye nodded, looking into the distance.
“When will you go?”
Back then, he had agreed to go to the three forbidden lands in 10 years with Golden Immortal Shu Ming. While the agreed-upon time hadn’t come yet, Han Muye had basically finished his business in the Bitter Immortal Realm in the wasteland.
He did not need to fully attend to Yunlan City in the future either.
There were plenty of experts in the city.
“In a year.” Li Yun just raised his hand, producing a nine-level sword tower.
“Kid, I’ll lend you this tower for now. When you come back, we’ll have a few battles,” he said, tossing the sword tower to Han Muye.
With that, he threw the sword pagoda at Han Muye.
This was his reward for challenging Han Muye.
He had promised to give this tower to Han Muye in the first place.
As for the temporary lending, powerful figures like Li Yungang just had no reason to take back something once it was given.
Han Muye smiled and took it, then said calmly, “Chief Li, next time, just use your Golden Immortal strength directly.”
These words made Li Yungang’s face flush red.
He snorted coldly and turned to leave.
After taking a few steps, he stopped. “You have to quickly condense your Grotto-heaven. Otherwise, you won’t be able to withstand it in the Burial Immortal City.”
Condensing a Grotto-heaven?
Seeing Li Yungang leave, Han Muye’s eyes flickered.
He was preparing to condense a Grotto-heaven, but not in the Wasteland.
After Li Yungang left, he raised his hand and a golden rune turned into a stream of light that flew into Yunlan City.
A moment later, figures landed outside the hall.
Zhao Chen, Zuo Baichuan, Zhang Zhenbiao, Xie Chaoyan, and the others walked into the hall with solemn expressions.
Han Muye looked over. Qin Zhaoyuan, Du Qiang, and the others were also there.
Even Wu Changhe, an expert from the Iron Armor War Sect who had come with Purple Leopard to Yunlan City, and Zhao Pingyu, who had inherited the teachings of the seniors, were present.
There were even a few powerful individuals that Han Muye didn’t recognize but were already in the Heaven Immortal Realm.
“Greetings, City Lord.”
Everyone bowed, showing respectful expressions.
The world of cultivation was like this—only the strong received respect.
The power Han Muye had displayed by now had made everyone look up to him.
Because of the Yunlan Sword Immortal’s presence, the entire Yunlan City became one of the few large cities in the entire Wasteland.
Moreover, Yunlan City wasn’t supported by Yunlan Sword Immortal alone.
The Mystic Spirit Sword Sect clearly supported Yunlan City.
The Zhulong Trading Company and its backer, the Heavenly Radiance Sect, also cooperated with Yunlan City.
Just a contract rune could make Heavenly Radiance Sect fully support Yunlan City.
Wu Changhe’s presence in Yunlan City represented the relationship between the Iron Armor War Sect and Yunlan City.
To the Iron Armor War Sect that never cooperated with the major sects, Wu Changhe’s presence here represented everything.
Zuo Baichou stepped forward and reported the recent developments in Yunlan City.
“City Lord, there are already nearly 10 million cultivators from various factions, making it one of the top 10 cities in the Wasteland.”
