960: Chapter 953: The Choice of Cloud Soaring Palace and Earth Demon Hall 960: Chapter 953: The Choice of Cloud Soaring Palace and Earth Demon Hall The next day,
City Lord Zhao Wukong had all the materials ready for setting up the Heaven’s Illusionary Formation.
Ye Chenfeng begun the true establishment of the formation.
Following the plan discussed with Lie Yan the day before, Ye Chenfeng had Zhao Wukong lead the members of the Wing Guard Team to expel all disciples from other sects within Tianxing City.
Once the formation was activated, Ye Chenfeng didn’t want any accidents happening within the city.
News of Yun Tian Sect’s Sect Master Wang Zhongtian and his party being killed after Zhao Wukong led the Wing Guard Team to drive away the other sects’ disciples yesterday also spread rapidly from Tianxing City as the center.
It should be noted that Yun Tian Sect was one of the four major sects in the top echelons of power, so this news acted like a massive bombshell, causing countless sects to become extremely anxious.
Among the four major sects, Cloud Soaring Palace and Earth Demon Hall were the farthest from Tianxing City.
It would take these two sects roughly two to three days to reach Tianxing City.
At this moment, the people of Cloud Soaring Palace were stationed a half-day’s journey south of Tianxing City.
They had suddenly stopped because Cloud Soaring Palace’s Sect Leader, Li Dongtian, had also learned of Yun Tian Sect Sect Master Wang Zhongtian and the others being killed.
Moreover, he was informed that people from Red Flame Valley had already entered Tianxing City.
Since yesterday, Cloud Soaring Palace had been hurrying along while receiving one shocking piece of news after another.
This forced Cloud Soaring Palace’s Sect Leader Li Dongtian to stop and carefully consider his options.
If they were to enter Tianxing City just like that, his Cloud Soaring Palace might become the next Yun Tian Sect.
Now that Cloud Soaring Palace’s Great Elder had died, there were no longer any peak experts at the Primordial Heaven stage left in the palace.
After remaining silent for a moment, Li Dongtian looked at an old man standing beside him and said, “Second Elder, do you think we should still rush to Tianxing City?”
The old man standing next to Li Dongtian was the Second Elder of Cloud Soaring Palace, Chen Xingfa, who had reached the middle stage of Primordial Heaven.
Chen Xingfa didn’t immediately answer Li Dongtian’s question; instead, he pondered for a while before saying, “I think it would be wise for us not to enter Tianxing City this time.
Didn’t we hear yesterday that even before the people of Red Flame Valley entered Tianxing City, Ye Chenfeng had already eradicated Yun Tian Sect?
This shows that Ye Chenfeng has a very powerful force at his disposal, one that may be no weaker than our four major sects.”
Cloud Soaring Palace’s Sect Leader Li Dongtian let out a helpless sigh.
His Cloud Soaring Palace’s Great Elder had died because of Ye Chenfeng, and his son, Li Zihao, had died because of Ye Chenfeng and Lie Yan.
Not only that, but Ye Chenfeng also had control over the inheritance of Ghost King Sect.
Originally, Li Dongtian had wanted both to tear Ye Chenfeng into pieces and to attain the Ghost King Sect inheritance from him.
But now that Ye Chenfeng had another force no weaker than the four major sects, and with the additional support of Red Flame Valley, it was clear that if he led Cloud Soaring Palace into Tianxing City, they would not be able to contend with Ye Chenfeng’s group.
Seething with reluctance, Li Dongtian asked, “Second Elder, are we just going to let that bastard Ye Chenfeng get away?
Even if we can’t obtain the Ghost King Sect inheritance from him, I can’t stand the thought of him prancing around among the top powers.”
Cloud Soaring Palace’s Second Elder Chen Xingfa furrowed his brows and said, “Even if Cloud Soaring Palace and Earth Demon Hall joined forces now, I’m afraid we still wouldn’t be able to do anything to Ye Chenfeng’s group.
We may even both end up severely wounded.
However, I do have a good idea.
The only thing is, if we follow my idea, we should not covet the Ghost King Sect’s inheritance.”
After exhaling a deep breath, Li Dongtian said, “Second Elder, go ahead and tell me your thoughts.”
Chen Xingfa nodded and said, “We could inform the Ancient Martial Punisher, Ouyang Bai, of this matter.
After all, our young master was the chosen successor of Ouyang Bai, and now that he has been killed by Ye Chenfeng and his group, Ouyang Bai should not stand idly by for the sake of his reputation.
Moreover, if Ouyang Bai finds out that Ye Chenfeng controls the inheritance of the Ghost King Sect, I believe he would be even more interested.
As long as Ouyang Bai makes a move, Ye Chenfeng and the people from Red Flame Valley are as good as dead.”
After listening to Chen Xingfa’s idea, Li Dongtian’s face showed hesitation for a moment, but then his expression gradually became resolute, as if he had come to a decision.
He said, “Second Elder, it seems this is the only way now.
Ouyang Bai should still be in seclusion; if we tell Ouyang Bai about this matter, then the Ghost King Sect’s inheritance will be completely out of reach for our Cloud Soaring Palace.”
Gathering his emotions, Li Dongtian then said, “Alright, Second Elder, let’s set off immediately and return the way we came.”
…
When the people from Cloud Soaring Palace were heading back the same way they came, the forces from Earth Demon Hall happened to be behind Cloud Soaring Palace, though still at some distance.
At that moment, the people from Earth Demon Hall also stopped in their tracks as they too heard the news about Tianxing City.
The Sect Leader of Earth Demon Hall, Mo Wusha, had his face filled with dense evil Qi as he looked toward the distant direction of Tianxing City.
He said to the Great Elder Gui Tianlin beside him, “Great Elder, it seems we won’t be able to enter Tianxing City anymore.
I truly did not expect that Ye Chenfeng would have a force in his hands even stronger than Yun Tian Sect.
This time we’ve completely miscalculated.”
The Great Elder of Earth Demon Hall, Gui Tianlin, replied, “Sect Leader, now it’s impossible for us to take down Ye Chenfeng.
Just the power of Red Flame Valley alone is a match for us, not to mention Ye Chenfeng has yet another force.
Even if Cloud Soaring Palace is willing to cooperate with us, our combined strength at best will be on par with Ye Chenfeng and his allies.”
Mo Wusha nodded in agreement and said, “Xia Zining is the murderer who killed my son.
I must kill that woman with my own hands.
It looks like Earth Demon Hall can only abandon the inheritance of Ghost King Sect that lies in Ye Chenfeng’s hands.
Only then can we make Ye Chenfeng and his allies disappear from this world.”
Hearing this, after a slight shock, the Great Elder Gui Tianlin asked with a solemn expression, “Sect Leader, are you planning to inform the Ancient Martial Punisher Ouyang Bai about this matter and have Ouyang Bai wipe out Ye Chenfeng and his group?”
Mo Wusha did not deny it, nodding, “Firstly, Ouyang Bai’s heir died at the hands of Ye Chenfeng and his group, and secondly, Ye Chenfeng has obtained the Ghost King Sect’s inheritance.
The Ancient Martial Punishers of that generation had deep grudges against the Ghost King Sect, and I think this generation’s Ancient Martial Punisher, Ouyang Bai, would also take an interest in the Ghost King Sect’s inheritance.”
“Since Sect Leader, you have already made a decision, should we set off right now?” asked the Great Elder Gui Tianlin of Earth Demon Hall.
“Eh?”
Just as Mo Wusha was about to answer Gui Tianlin, he saw a group of people coming in their direction, and he quickly recognized Li Dongtian, the Sect Leader of Cloud Soaring Palace, leading them.
He murmured softly, “It seems that Cloud Soaring Palace is also on their way back home, but I wonder if they have the same idea as us?”
When the people from Cloud Soaring Palace got closer, Mo Wusha looked at Li Dongtian and asked, “What about it?
Are you not planning to enter Tianxing City either?”
The Sect Leader of Cloud Soaring Palace, Li Dongtian, glared irritably at Mo Wusha and said, “It looks like your Earth Demon Hall is also preparing to return the way you came, right?
Now even if our two great sects join forces, I reckon we still can’t do anything to that little bastard Ye Chenfeng.
It’s kind of a joke, really, how that little bastard Ye Chenfeng has turned the entire Ancient Martial World upside down.”
Mentioning Ye Chenfeng’s name, Mo Wusha’s expression also turned unsightly, as he was, after all, the first one to lower his head and apologize to Ye Chenfeng in that enclosed space.
He spoke directly, “I’m not going to beat around the bush with Cloud Soaring Palace.
I’m going to pay a visit to the Ancient Martial Punisher Ouyang Bai’s place of seclusion.
I wonder, Sect Leader Li, do you have the same idea?”
After hearing Mo Wusha’s words, Li Dongtian realized that their thoughts coincided.
He had nothing to hide and said, “I was thinking the same thing.
How about we make the trip together?
As for the disciples from our sects, we can let them return to the sects on their own.
I can’t wait to see Ye Chenfeng meet his miserable end.”
“Good, Sect Leader Li, I feel the same way,” Mo Wusha agreed outright.
