Chapter 706: Cangshengs Secret
Things were taking a dire turn.
As soon as Daoist Xuan Lu saw the turn of events, he knew his meticulously planned efforts wouldn't bring the rewards he expected. He knew Qi Lin’er was important, but he hadn’t expected Qi Lin'er to be so important that Daoist Cangsheng would go as far as using the East Sea Chrono Wheel and attempt to kill someone, disregarding his status.
Even if Qi Lin'er were his son, he wouldn't have done something like this!
When the fight ended and the crowd dispersed, Yang Shenlong returned to the Mirage Mountain and once again stood before Daoist Xuan Lu.
“Senior Uncle Xuan Lu, is this the outcome you wanted?” Yang Shenlong asked.
“I did not foresee this,” Daoist Xuan Lu admitted honestly.
“Weren’t you trying to spark a war between Penglai and Mount Shu? Well, congratulations, you’ve succeeded,” Yang Shenlong said, bluntly exposing Daoist Xuan Lu's hidden motive.
Within the Penglai Supreme Sect, a significant faction was dissatisfied with the current state of affairs. They believed that, as the most powerful immortal sect in the human world for many years, the Penglai Supreme Sect should be expanding its influence across the nine provinces.
Back when Mount Shu Sect was the top immortal sect, it had a legendary artifact, a celestial beast, as well as many masters of Heavenly Origin. Its influence and power were unparalleled, a glory that even the current Penglai could not match.
Countless ambitious individuals within the Penglai Supreme Sect aspired to attain that level of glory rather than remaining in a mere corner of the East Sea.
However, opinions differed on the way to achieve that level of glory.
