Chapter 155 - 123: The Dispute between Gu Wen and the Three Pure Daoist
Lan Yongning didn’t say much, simply showing Gu Wen the sect protector’s message.
The gist of it was that a Venerable had personally arrived, ordering him to monitor Gu Wen and their movements, and he chose to betray his own ancestor.
Gu Wen, not understanding the Venerable’s relationship with the various forces in the Cultivation World, sought out Jun Yan. The latter, upon hearing Lan Yongning’s words, wasn’t surprised but looked at him with interest, saying, "You’re quite clever, thinking of betting on both sides?"
"I am acquainted with Fellow Daoist Red Dust, and with the sect leader Venerable, we are merely from the same sect. Although he is my master’s master, I am not from the sect leader Venerable’s lineage."
Lan Yongning could not deny it, and what he revealed was the intricate and complex divisions of factions within the Cultivation World.
There are the Three Religions and numerous sects, Buddhist, Daoist, and Demons mixed together, and within the sects, there are also different factions and powers.
"Sounding good, but I guess you wouldn’t have informed us if there hadn’t been the True Sword Dao."
Jun Yan mercilessly exposed the other party, but Lan Yongning noticed the way he spoke and asked with some surprise, "Fellow Daoist Jun also wants to join the Sanqing Taoist Sect?"
Could it be that the Heavenly Girl has promised him an Immortality Pill? But there’s simply not enough Immortality Pill to go around; otherwise, the Daoist Sect would have long recruited many great powers from other sects to work together against other sects.
Not everyone needs an entire Immortality Pill; if the Sanqing Taoist Sect could offer some roots as a promise to other great powers in the Daoist community, most would still accept it.
