Chapter 625 - 725: Sacrifice, Sacrifice!
Moreover, the Celestial Fragrance Sect isn't always ranked third; it constantly fluctuates between second and third, sometimes second today, third tomorrow, always fiercely competing with the Virtue Sect.
As for whether the Celestial Fragrance Sect wants to surpass the Taichu Sect and become the number one sect in the world? Of course, they do, they dream of it, but it's only a dream.
In terms of strength, the Celestial Fragrance Sect and the Virtue Sect are similar, both around seven or eight, while the fourth largest sect is at five, and the number one Taichu Sect is at twenty.
This difference is not just one or two but more than double. Tian Chu Zhenren alone can defeat the Celestial Fragrance Sect, so although all sects want to replace the Taichu Sect as the top, it's just wishful thinking.
But such a sect was annihilated, and they didn't receive any news during the annihilation.
Ye Tianfan found it unbelievable. It happened so quickly, showing this organization is truly formidable and unlike anything he has encountered.
Thinking about it, their operations must be top-notch, because even with high-level leaders, they would send a distress call to the Taichu Sect during such a crisis. Yet, by the time news reached the Taichu Sect, the Celestial Fragrance Sect was already gone.
What Ye Tianfan didn't know was that not long ago, Tian Chu Zhenren had spoken with the sect leader of the Celestial Fragrance Sect, Tian Xiang Zhenren, who agreed to prepare for combat and was thinking of heading to Tianyuan Peak.
Just then, this news arrived. It's unclear if Tian Xiang Zhenren escaped. Perhaps the annihilation began after Tian Xiang Zhenren, the sect's strongest, left, but no one knows.
We can only hope that when the sect was annihilated, Tian Xiang Zhenren wasn't there, so they wouldn't lose a major asset.
The news of the sect's destruction utterly shocked Ye Tianfan. To him, such eliminations were only in books or stories, but now it's happening for real before his eyes, making him feel the world is dangerous. Perhaps Tian Chu Zhenren was genuinely concerned for his safety, fearing he'd die in this calamity, which is why he acted this way.
But that's not acceptable; you can't just hide from danger. Cultivating immortality is defying the heavens, seizing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to nourish oneself, akin to taking from the body of heaven and earth.
So Ye Tianfan decided, no matter how much his master tries to stop him, he would forge ahead, regardless of the difficulties, sensing he would encounter a great opportunity.
Thinking of this, Ye Tianfan sat down cross-legged, having thought of a trick, or rather a magical treasure, the Xuanlong Seal, which seems to have a function of breaking prohibitions or breaking arrays.
However, this function had been nullified as it was covered in Demonic Qi, but now, with most of the Demonic Qi cleared, perhaps the function of the Xuanlong Seal is operational again.
Thinking of this, Ye Tianfan immediately focused his mind into his Dantian to communicate with the Xuanlong Seal.
Tianyuan Peak.
Tianyuan Peak was bustling with activity, not only crowded but also full of arguments.
The reason? An orthodox sect had a blood feud with the Demon Sect, and upon seeing the Demon Sect Leader Zhang Youji, they couldn't hold back their urge to kill him, but they were stopped. Once the Sect Leader understood the situation, although he refrained from acting, he still cursed in anger!
"Since everyone is here, let's all sit down!"
The speaker was Tian Chu Zhenren, and after speaking, he took the lead and sat around a round table.
The other sect leaders followed suit and took their seats.
This round table seated nineteen, with a larger round table around it. Strong figures like Tian Chu Zhenren, the Virtue Sect Leader, the Demon Sect Leader Zhang Youji, and powerful Loose Cultivators sat at the inner table, while smaller sects or weaker ones sat around the larger table.
Once everyone was seated, they all looked at the empty seat at the small table.
Tian Chu Zhenren, seeing everyone looking at the empty seat, understood and spoke: "Before we begin our alliance meeting, I have some news about Tian Xiang Zhenren."
Everyone turned to look at Tian Chu Zhenren, curious about his announcement.
"After I received news of the Celestial Fragrance Sect's annihilation, I contacted Tian Xiang Zhenren. At that time, he was alive but very emotionally unstable!" Tian Chu Zhenren spoke seriously, "I advised him to come to us, and we would figure out a way to help him seek revenge later.
But Tian Xiang Zhenren refused. He resolutely decided to pursue revenge himself. I couldn't persuade him, and after that, I lost contact with him."
After saying this, Tian Chu Zhenren looked at the group, observing their solemn expressions, and continued: "However, just now, I used a Secret Technique to check Tian Xiang Zhenren's status. The result showed that while he is alive, he is seriously injured, and his injuries are worsening, indicating he's in the midst of an intense battle. The location is very far, in the Far North. Aside from the Celestial Fragrance Sect, we have no presence there, so we can't rescue him, and his situation looks dire."
Hearing this, everyone fell silent, understanding the gravity. If anyone's sect was destroyed under their watch, they would also fight to the death like Tian Xiang Zhenren. They respected him for his dedication and love for his sect.
However, losing such a powerful asset as Tian Xiang Zhenren is regrettable. If he were here, the ensuing war would be much easier, as he possesses a Supreme Magical Treasure.
