Chapter 267.1
When the Great Elder heard the news, he vomited three liters of blood on the spot.
Even if he used his big toe, he could guess who spread this rumor. He was so angry that he cursed the Second Elder in his room for a full hour. When he got too agitated, he almost couldn’t breathe and died on the spot.
Fortunately, he was not destined to die, and he finally managed to regain his breath.
This matter was widely circulated among the cultivators, but most people only discussed it in private. After all, the Ziqing Sacred Land was a large and powerful force, and it was not something that ordinary sects could compare to. Even though the power of Ziqing Sacred Land was seriously injured, everyone was still very wary of it due to its accumulated prestige.
However, the Chongyang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect did not have many concerns about this. Not only did they not have any concerns, but they were overjoyed because they realized that the opportunity to overthrow the Ziqing Sacred Land had come!
So they began to spread this rumor widely, and added a lot of specious-sounding details, even making up what kind of poison the Ziqing Holy Lord was poisoned with and where it came from.
The speaker swore with confidence, and the listener was half-believing and half-doubting. But regardless of whether they believed it or not, the rumor, at least with the help of the two major sects, spread throughout the entire Beizhou.
But when they heard this rumor, the people who were most troubled were not those from Ziqing Sacred Land, but those from the Tiangang Sword Sect.
The friendship between the Tiangang Sword Sect and the Ziqing Sacred Land has lasted for thousands of years, and it reached its peak during the reign of the Wind Emperor Ji Wuya and the Water Fairy Mo Wei. Since then, the two major sects have established an unbreakable relationship. Even though Ziqing Sacred Land has been plagued by internal problems, the friendship between the two sides has never been affected.
