Chapter 1677 - Betrayal
The atmosphere in the main hall turned tense as both sides entered a standoff.Lingqiong Jing's sudden return had caught everyone off guard. Since he could return, that meant others could return as well. They had to now consider whether the Lingqiong Clan had more powerful immortals who might descend into the mortal realm.
Just a powerhouse at the fifth-level Heavenly Immortal Realm had already left the Heavenly Dragon Sect helpless. What if someone at the seventh- or ninth-level Heavenly Immortal Realm returned?
"Hua Feiyu, Long Xiao is already dead. Our ancestor, Lingqiong Tian, has established the Spirit Jade Heaven in the celestial realm and advanced to the Immortal Emperor Realm. If you submit to our Lingqiong Clan, we will not mistreat you. When you ascend to the celestial realm in the future, you can join our Spirit Jade Heaven," Lingqiong Ye said without a hint of respect, addressing Hua Feiyu by name.
If this had happened in the past, Hua Feiyu would have sent him flying with a slap for such audacity, but he did not dare to act rashly now.
When the elders heard the news, whispers began filling the hall. Quite a few elders immediately grew restless, wanting to join the Lingqiong Clan's faction.
"My elder brother is right. An Immortal Emperor is a supreme being in the celestial realm, and our ancestor has ordered him to bring a group of people there. As long as you perform well, you will also have a chance," Lingqiong Gong spoke at that moment, using an empty promise to win over the elders and isolate Hua Feiyu.
As long as they could isolate Hua Feiyu from the other elders, the Heavenly Dragon Sect would naturally fall into the Lingqiong Clan's hands.
Given the Lingqiong Clan's strength, they could seize the Heavenly Dragon Sect by force. But if they did that, they would only take over a ruined Heavenly Dragon Sect, which was not what they wanted. Thus, the best method was to force Hua Feiyu to die while making the other elders submit.
After all, Lingqiong Jing could not possibly bring the entire Lingqiong Clan to the celestial realm, and most of them would still have to remain in the mortal realm. Once they gained control of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, the Lingqiong Clan could expand their influence across the astral domains and even dominate an entire region.
The brothers echoed each other one after another, successfully dissolving the unity among the Heavenly Dragon Sect's upper echelon.
"Lingqiong Gong, is that true? Ancestor Lingqiong Jing will bring us to the celestial realm?" asked an elder at the Quasi-Immortal Realm.
