Chapter 29: The Leaked News
The young man quickly left.
After the young man departed, Long Haichuan also left.
He didn’t leave to verify anything with He Feng.
Instead, he had already believed the young man’s words.
He guessed that after his cousin was killed, his uncle must have gone to find the ancestor.
Then the ancestor brought his uncle to confront the Sect Master for justice.
So, it was very likely that his ancestor was killed by the Sect Master.
The Sect Master was a Transformation stage cultivator, and killing his ancestor would be quite simple.
Moreover, on the day his ancestor died, he had seen him in the morning, and by the afternoon, his ancestor was gone.
Now the Immortal Gate claimed that the beast tribe killed his ancestor, but how could the beast tribe come to the Qixuan Sect to kill him?
Also, while investigating the cause of his ancestor’s death, he felt as if he was being watched.
Therefore, he now strongly suspected that his ancestor was killed by the Sect Master.
"Since you won’t let the Long family live in peace, I won’t let you live in peace either," Long Haichuan said with a hint of malice on his face.
Months later, explosive news spread simultaneously across the Dajing Empire, Mingyue Empire, and Dayong Empire.
This explosive news was about the Biyun Sect of the Dajing Empire.
The news stated that there was a person named Li Xiaojun in the Biyun Xianzong who had no spirit roots and could not cultivate, but he possessed an astonishing special physique.
Any ordinary woman who had relations with him could give birth to children with top-grade spirit roots.
If the woman had spirit roots, she could give birth to even better offspring.
And if the woman had earth spirit roots, she could even give birth to Immortal spirit root children.
Moreover, the information indicated that by utilizing Li Xiaojun, the six major Immortal Sects of the Dajing Empire, Mingyue Empire, and Dayong Empire already had more than two Immortal spirit root children…
At first, not many people believed the news.
However, as the six major Immortal Sects began to prohibit the spread of the news and searched for the mastermind, some people started to believe it.
Soon, some began to investigate and found that the immortal family of the Biyun Xianzong had unexpectedly welcomed over twenty top-grade spirit root children a few years ago.
Ultimately, the matter caught the attention of the Fanjingshan Holy Land.
The Holy Land didn’t care whether the news was true or false; since it had been spreading with such conviction, they quickly dispatched elders to the Biyun Xianzong to check the situation.
Besides the Holy Land, this news also drew the attention of the beast tribe.
In the great mountains of the beast tribe, Tiger God Mountain.
“Lord Beast King, the Fanjingshan Holy Land has sent two elders to the Biyun Xianzong to check the situation. Should we stop them?”
A massive tiger, over ten meters tall and dozens of meters long, sat on a huge jade stone, looking at a wolf demon that was over ten meters long.
“Is the information about Li Xiaojun certain?”
“It’s uncertain, but I believe it’s better to be cautious. If the Fanjingshan Holy Land obtains such a human with a special physique, it would be a devastating blow to our beast tribe.”
“You’re right. In that case, I will personally take a trip to the Human Race territory to take a look.”
The next moment, the Tiger Beast sitting on the huge jade stone quickly began to shrink in size and gradually transformed into a "human" figure over two meters tall.
Biyun Xianzong.
During this time, Biyun Xianzong could be described as chaotic.
Recently, someone suddenly spread the news about Li Xiaojun widely. Although they immediately noticed the news and tried to seal it off,
it spread too quickly.
Moreover, as Biyun Xianzong took drastic actions, many people began to suspect that the matter was true.
Besides Biyun Sect, the other Immortal Sects also felt a bit like they were covering their ears and stealing a bell.
At the first moment the news spread, Biyun Xianzong hid Li Xiaojun and his close-knit family group away.
At the same time, the children were also taken away by the Supreme Elder to hide in a mortal city.
The other five major Immortal Sects acted similarly; as soon as the news spread, they hid the Immortal spirit root children.
“Master Luo, what should we do now? The news has already spread, and it will surely attract the attention of Fanjingshan. How can we minimize our losses?”
In the great hall on Bixiao Peak of Biyun Xianzong, the Sect Masters of the six major Immortal Sects gathered together to discuss strategies.
“If the Holy Land knows we possess so many Immortal spirit root children, they will definitely take them by force. The Holy Land will not allow us to grow!” said the Sect Master of the Qixuan Sect.
“A thousand years ago, the Ziyang Sect in the southern region refused to hand over a genius with a Yang spirit root, and their sect was directly destroyed by Fires God Mountain. We don’t know if Fanjingshan will wipe us out…”
“What if we directly deal with Li Xiaojun and then hide all the children to raise them? If the Holy Land comes to investigate, we can just deny that this ever happened. What does everyone think?” suggested the Sect Master of the Qingxia Sect.
Upon hearing this, the others shook their heads.
“That is absolutely not feasible; the means of the Holy Land are beyond our comprehension.”
“Should we just hand over Li Xiaojun and those children then?” the Sect Master of the Hanhai Sect asked.
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
After a moment, the Sect Master of Luoyun Mountain lightly said, “Perhaps we only need to hand over Li Xiaojun and the Immortal spirit root children.”
“What if we hand over the Immortal spirit root children, but Fanjingshan thinks we have more hidden away?”
At this moment, the Sect Master of Ziwei Mountain said, “Everyone, I believe Fanjingshan may not hunt us down completely, because other Holy Lands will not allow Fanjingshan to dominate alone. If Fanjingshan destroyed us, it would basically confirm the truth about Li Xiaojun to the other Holy Lands.”
“So I think if Fanjingshan learns the truth, they definitely won’t make a big deal out of it.”
“Thus, if Fanjingshan really comes, we can just hand over Li Xiaojun. If they want the Immortal spirit root children, they can cultivate them themselves. With Li Xiaojun, they can have as many Immortal spirit roots as they want, so we actually don’t need to hand over the Immortal spirit root children.”
Upon hearing this, the others suddenly lit up with realization.
Yes, simply handing over Li Xiaojun means that Fanjingshan can cultivate as many Immortal spirit roots as they want.
If Fanjingshan insists on destroying them, then the news about Li Xiaojun would definitely be kept secret. At that point, the other Holy Lands would certainly not allow Fanjingshan to dominate alone.
So, even for the sake of secrecy, Fanjingshan would not be able to do anything to them.
Just as the Sect Masters of the six major Immortal Sects were finalizing their decision, the next day, two Integration stage elders from Fanjingshan arrived at Biyun Xianzong.
In ordinary Immortal Sects, those at the Nascent Soul stage can be appointed as elders.
In powerful forces such as the Holy Land, usually only those at the late stage of Divine Transformation can become elders, and the higher-ranked elders are generally at the Integration stage.
If it were the Master of the Holy Land, only a Great Ascension stage saint could hold that position.
