Chapter 110: Severing Herself from Longwei
Tianyi only spent a few moments mocking Longwei. That man wasn’t important enough for him to fully pay attention to. Although, if possible, Tianyi wouldn’t mind ridding the world of another Dragon Emperor Clone. He’d have to be an idiot not to notice Longwei’s disdain and killing intent towards him. Not to mention Longwei’s sudden explosive increase in strength mid spar, it was as if Longwei was waiting for that moment to get rid of him at once!
Although Tianyi didn’t know why Longwei had such intentions, that wouldn’t prevent Tianyi from taking action. If he could discover the reason, then good. If not, then Tianyi wouldn’t mind not knowing why his possible murderer wanted to kill him as long as he was dead.
Curiosity killed the cat, after all.
Su Bojing returned not long after, his face slightly weird.
“Senior Brother, I have returned successfully.”
Tianyi motioned for Su Bojing to continue.
“The two who were fighting aren’t just members of the same sect but cousins descended from the same Elder. The one who won and the elder is named Lai Erchu, while the younger one who lost is named Lai Wu. Both were born around the same time and with similar levels of talent, so the two have been rivals since young. Although the two fought occasionally, it wasn’t to the point of fire and water witnessed earlier, not to the point of purposely maiming the other one.”
“But that all changed when that girl, Bai Weiwei, appeared. I don’t know what kind of illness the two caught, but they both started fighting over her. I really can’t see what they see in her. She’s not even the descendant of an Elder, and her talent is subpar. The only reason she’s reached Core Formation before forty is due to copious amounts of pills.”
Tianyi raised an eyebrow. “If she’s not the descendant of an Elder, why is she here? As a servant?”
Su Bojing shook his head. “No, I heard the two cousins forcefully added her as a guest.”
“And no one said anything? The two cousins don’t look to have that much influence.” Tianyi asked.
“No... There wasn’t as much resistance from what I heard.” Su Bojing said, finding the situation weird.
“Prince Xi, you wouldn’t happen to be interested in her, would you?” Jian Wuyan suddenly asked.
Tianyi looked at her. “Not really, I’m just curious.”
Jian Wuyan still had a serious look on her face. “It’s better to distance yourself from her. That woman isn’t simple.”
“What do you mean?” Su Bojing asked, confused. “Although I find it weird that those Lai cousins would fight over her, it shouldn’t mean that there is anything wrong with her, right?”
“Hmpf, just look over there.” Jian Wuyan pointed towards where most of the members of the Bright Ascension Sect sat. Although there was some intermingling between sects, most still preferred to group up with their own apprentice-brother and sisters.
“What about it?” Su Bojing asked.
“The males and females are divided,” Tianyi said.
“Prince Xi is wise.” Jian Wuyan said, her eyes shining in respect, causing Tianyi to feel awkward for being praised for pointing such an obvious observation.
“Hmm, They are. But what does that even have to do with anything about that Bai girl?” Su Bojing said, still confused.
“Yeah, I feel the same. Aren’t you too suspicious?” Dong Chifan interjected as well.
“Tsk, tsk, women know women best.” Jian Wuyan said as she looked towards Su Bojing and Dong Chifan like they were dimwits. “Just look, the girls are grouped together except that Bai girl. She’s standing with the male disciples. Although not all of them are appreciative of her, most still are giving her kind looks. Isn’t it strange that all the girls are distancing themselves from her while the guys all seem to have good feelings towards her?”
Su Bojing looked over there and observed closely. “You’re right. But that doesn’t prove anything, right?”
“That person?”
“Yes, Su Wanyu.” Ji Muyang nodded confidently. “Longwei is a genius that comes only once in a million years. I invited him so he would likely join the Bright Ascension Sect. How could the Buzhou Immortal Sect allow such a thing to happen?”
“This...would they really do such a thing? The Buzhou Immortal Sect is such a powerful existence. They wouldn’t care for a mortal like Longwei, right?” One of the women from a backwater force asked.
The Buzhou Immortal Sect had long established its dominance on the whole Heaven Continent, and not even the Anti-Heaven Alliance really dared too much. It was a towering existence that first-rate forces like them needed to venerate and fear. The difference between all the first-rate sect and the sole hegemonic sect wasn’t just a matter of numbers either.
“I heard that the foundation of the Buzhou Immortal Sect was greatly damaged when they fought against the Dragon Emperor years ago. Right now, they are at their weakest point since the creation of their sect.” Ji Muyang leaned in and lowered her voice as if whispering some grand secret.
Longwei curled the corner of his lips in satisfaction as a feeling of triumph flowed throughout his body.
“When a sect weakens and can’t recover in a short amount of time, what is the best thing to do to maintain power? It’s to weaken the other powers. Recently, these last hundred of years, the number of our elite disciples have mysteriously disappeared and never returned have risen higher than before the Dragon Emperor’s death.” Ji Muyang continued.
The women all gave a look of dawning realization at what Ji Muyang implied. There was a look of uncovering some great conspiracy or disbelief. Most of them still held eyes of doubt, but the seed had already been planted.
Naturally, Ji Muyang didn’t believe what she was implying. Although what she said was true, it was only slightly higher than average. The rate of death fluctuated around the average quite frequently. But just this suspicion and circumstantial evidence were enough to make many people believe it.
What she didn’t know was that the Buzhou Immortal was indeed behind the deaths of some of the elite disciples of her sect, just not for the right reason.
Ji Muyang turned towards Longwei with looks of concern, but the words she spoke only added fuel to the fire. “Longwei, you shouldn’t go look for trouble with Su Wanyu. I know you’re strong, but she’s just too powerful. Once this gathering ends, I’ll take you to meet my master. Once you become his disciple, just stay at the sect for a while and don’t go out, okay?”
Longwei’s eyes flashed with anger. “No, this enmity, I will return a hundredfold. So what if they are the Buzhou Immortal Sect, so what if she is the daughter of an Immortal? Anyone who schemed against me, I will return back!”
“Longwei, don’t be so rash. Perhaps, this is just me overthinking, and it really was only Xi Tianyi being jealous of your potential.” Ji Muyang reasoned, but that only served to aggravate Longwei to the extreme.
“No, Yang’er, you are right. The Buzhou Immortal Sect is purposefully eliminating the power of other forces to maintain their control. The Dragon Emperor killed nearly half of their Immortal Monarchs and an Immortal Emperor, so they are at their weakest. I don’t mind them. After all, all powers do carry out these little schemes to maintain power, but since they dared to target me, I will destroy them!” Longwei said with complete confidence.
Ji Muyang couldn’t hide her shock. She really couldn’t understand why Longwei was so confident in her lie and why he believed that they really targeted a mortal loose cultivator like him. Sure, people like him who have condensed saber intent at his age are scarce, but not unheard of.
Even more shocking was his words of destroying the Buzhou Immortal Sect. The Buzhou Immortal Sect had existed since even before it was called the Huang Realm. Many people and geniuses greater than him had tried to do so, but none succeeded. Again, where did his confidence originate from? It was as if he believed the world revolved around him!
Ji Muyang earnestly thanked the Heavenly Dao for letting her see his true nature before tangling with him any further. Just this attitude of never backing down or not being able to suffer a loss was enough to sow enmity with countless people. She hid her smile as she left. Ji Muyang sneered at the women who still stayed in Longwei’s room. Those women wanted to stay in the same room for the night; just where were their pride?
The next day, Ji Muyang purposely didn’t visit Longwei in the morning. Instead, she met with Su Wanyi and the other leading disciples as they boarded the Immortal Boat towards Immortal Ironword’s inheritance site. Tianyi was also on the boat giving directions.
“Sister Ji, what’s wrong. It’s rare to see you so down.” San Jiuling asked.
“It’s nothing, just Longwei.” Ji Muyang pretended to sigh. “The shock of losing to Brother Xi might have been too much for his self-esteem. Right now, he is constantly in a foul mood and even threw a tantrum. He was such a good seed. I even wanted my master to take him in as a disciple. But judging by his character, his immortal path is unlikely to come to fruition. I don’t know whether inviting him is a blessing or a disaster. Perhaps it would be best for us to go our separate ways.”
The other three nodded in understanding. Some people were too unyielding and unable to accept compromise. Unyielding is a good trait for pursuing the Dao, but too much will make them brittle.
Ji Muyang smiled as she hinted at her severed connection with Longwei. Then she looked at Su Wanyu. Envy, admiration, and hate all emerged in her eyes. The two were nearly the same age and had already met several times at the previous Heavenly Connection Gatherings, but each time she always lost to this woman in front of her.
She was slower than her to forming her spiritual core than Su Wanyu. Even more, hers was gold-ranked while Su Wanyu’s was violet-gold ranked! She was slower in forming her five-colored Nascent Soul as well!
All these years of one-sided envy had long turned into a habit of finding trouble with Su Wanyu whenever possible. It was to the point that if she didn’t find trouble every time they met, she would be unable to calm down her heart. It wasn’t a big problem, but it was like an irritating itch that never went away unless she did so.
Ji Muyang smiled. She had seen Su Wanyu’s eyes of hostility when she first laid eyes on Longwei earlier. So if Longwei found trouble with her, Ji Muyang could expect a good show.
She couldn’t wait.
