Chapter 658 - 375 Influence_2
Just like the Venerable of the Qianye Temple from Shushan Sect, who once dared to obstruct Li Shiming, he was also the disciple of a Nascent Soul Ancestor. If it wasn't for the warning issued by the Fan Ancestor at the time, perhaps Li Shiming might have been captured by Qianye Temple as well.
There were many such incidents, and they appeared trivial, but when such trivial matters accumulated, they were enough to influence his reputation within the large sects.
Li Yuan Ba didn't understand these behind-the-scenes events; he just responded to the messages from the concerned Righteous Path Golden Core Elders.
He also learned from Ying Hou that the Righteous Path was negotiating with Senluo Sect, and Jieshan Mountain Pass was in a state of complete suspension.
After he was captured, Senluo Sect stopped all transactions, even though this affected Senluo Sect as well, but Old Demon Lu's wrath was evident, and the sect also needed to make corresponding responses.
Li Yuan Ba didn't want to inquire about these matters anymore; this capture made him feel that his own strength was still too weak.
He had sufficient cultivation resources and treasures like Ten Thousand Sword Peak that could aid his Sword Intent enhancement at the Golden Core Stage; what he needed to do now was simply to keep enhancing his strength.
He needed to take advantage of the time when Qianye Temple was weakened to increase his strength to a self-sufficient level.
This was not an impossible task; even in the best-case scenario, it would take at least a hundred years for Qianye Temple to produce another Venerable.
With over a century, given Li Yuanba's cultivation speed, although he didn't dare to guarantee that he could advance to the Nascent Soul stage, it was still certain he could reach the status of a Great Elder.
Li Yuanba bid farewell to Jiang Pu and the other three Golden Core Elders, returning to the Jieshan City Guardian Mansion.
Although he had been captured by Qianye Temple, it hadn't affected Jieshan City; the city remained just as he had left it.
