Chapter 835: The Storm Arises Again
That one word from Venerable Wen Yuan sent Daoist Cangsheng's blood pressure through the roof.
He had given up pursuing the matter with Chu Liang because he realized it would be impossible for him to kill Chu Liang that day. More importantly, he had just received news that a group of demons and evildoers were attacking the Penglai Supreme Sect.
Daoist Cangsheng's group had left Mirage Mountain with enough power to handle most emergencies. With the Penglai Supreme Sect's guardian celestial beast, the Azure Dragon, and many seventh-realm Eminent Ones stationed there, they could easily crush any sect ranked below the Divine Nine.
However, the appearance of a legendary artifact had not been included in the Penglai Supreme Sect's contingency plans.
That leader of the Dark King Sect... It seems he is unafraid of death. He actually dared to set his sights on Penglai!
Daoist Cangsheng had brought both of his sect's legendary artifacts to Mount Shu because he had been determined to end things swiftly if war broke out. He had been prepared to destroy the Mount Shu Sect—even if the rest of the Divine Nine and the Terrestrial Ten tried to stand in his way.
Given the overwhelming power of the two legendary artifacts, this should have been a one-sided massacre. That way, even if someone tried to raid his sect, his group could rush back in time to stop it.
Yet, Venerable Wen Yuan just had to stall them for a quarter of an hour with a strange enchanted artifact capable of replicating a legendary artifact. Then the Vessel of God, the Mount Shu Sect's new legendary artifact, appeared and completely shattered Daoist Cangsheng's plan. Daoist Cangsheng had torn down the last shreds of civility between the Penglai Supreme Sect and the Mount Shu Sect for nothing and even tarnished his sect's reputation.
The Penglai Supreme Sect's attack on the Mount Shu Sect was undoubtedly a colossal failure—one for which the Penglai Supreme Sect would certainly have to pay a price.
Nevertheless, as long as both legendary artifacts remain in my possession, the price we have to pay will be minimal. So what if I'm in the wrong? As long as we remain powerful, no one can make me admit my mistake.
However...
