Chapter 2252: Knowing the Person but Not the Sect

Inside the great hall, the major powers, locked in a dispute over the beast clan's supervisory rights, are deadlocked, quite like a bustling market.

Don't be fooled—everyone here is a prominent figure of the Immortal Realm, either the head of an immortal sect or the chief of an immortal clan.

Yet when interests are at stake, they are no different from ordinary commoners—just a difference in vision.

Everyone wants to seize the supervisory rights over the beast clan, and Ye Zhangqing is naturally no exception.

After all, the advantages of this supervisory right are obvious to everyone; for the Dao One Immortal Sect, it's more than sufficient.

If they obtained this supervisory right over the beast clan, the Dao One Immortal Sect could wholly rely on it to swiftly rise in a short time.

Besides that, the most crucial is being able to use this to successfully break into the Immortal Realm and enter the circles of the major powers.

After all, with this supervisory right, anyone wishing to buy beast blood, demon pills, and other beast-related cultivation resources must contact the Dao One Immortal Sect.

This is what Ye Zhangqing values most.

After all, the Dao One Immortal Sect has only been established for a few years; compared to other major powers, what it lacks most is foundation.

So, while everyone was arguing endlessly, Ye Zhangqing also spoke up.

"I think what you all say makes sense, but it's not the optimal solution."

Huh???

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look; some wore doubtful expressions, some snorted coldly in displeasure, and some even spoke mockingly.

"Where did this kid come from? How did you sneak in? Is this a place you can come to?"

Obviously, these people don't recognize Ye Zhangqing, or they just haven't recalled him yet.

But some immediately recognized Ye Zhangqing's identity and knew the power behind him, giving him full respect and smiling kindly.

"Ah, it's Young Master Ye; I didn't expect you to come too—I hadn't noticed before."

For those kind people, Ye Zhangqing nodded and smiled in response; the rest simply chose to ignore him.

However, as soon as he spoke, everyone present quickly learned his identity.

The Heavenly Pride monster that suddenly appeared in the Immortal Realm a few years ago, together with Tianlin and the other three, are collectively known as the Five Great Monsters—Ye Zhangqing.

The Young City Lord of the Cooking King Immortal City, and Huang Lao is still his Protector of the Way.

After learning Ye Zhangqing's identity, everyone had various thoughts, but some found it strange.

Isn't it supposed to be only one representative? The Cooking King Immortal City already has a representative—Bai Yuan is sitting right beside Ye Zhangqing.

Someone spoke up to question.

"Your Cooking King Immortal City doing this seems a bit against the rules? Everyone can only send one person, but you sent two—what does this mean?"

"The Young City Lord is not attending as a representative of my Cooking King Immortal City."

In response, Bai Yuan replied lightly, without any change.

Just saying that left many people stunned—not a representative of the Cooking King Immortal City? Then who does he represent?

Gazes fell upon Ye Zhangqing—what's the situation now?

Under everyone's scrutiny, Ye Zhangqing didn't hide anything and spoke directly.

"I, the junior, today represent the Dao One Immortal Sect; I am one of its Elders."

Huh???

"Dao One Immortal Sect? What sect is that?"

"I've never heard of it."

"I think I've heard of it before, but I can't recall it right now."

"You guys are ignorant; the Dao One Immortal Sect was only established a few years ago, its sect is located in the Wuji Shanmai, and it's said to have been founded by a group of Xia Jie barbarians."

Regarding the Dao One Immortal Sect, many haven't heard of it; only some sects not far from the Wuji Shanmai have heard a bit before.

Also, forces like the Wang family and Ji Le Gong, who have participated in matters of Wuji Xiancheng, understand.

Others are hearing it for the first time.

There's no way around it; this is the Dao One Immortal Sect's biggest weakness—its lack of fame.

That's why Ye Zhangqing cares so much about seizing the supervisory rights over the beast clan; after all, this is undoubtedly the best way to boost the Dao One Immortal Sect's influence.

After a lot of discussion, they finally figured out roughly what the Dao One Immortal Sect is.

Someone with a strange look glanced at Huang Lao and the others and asked.

"Does the Dao One Immortal Sect have the qualifications to attend this meeting?"

Such a sect founded by Xia Jie barbarians, and only a few years old, does it have the qualifications to participate in today's council?

Isn't this nonsense?

Not to say everyone present is a top power of the Immortal Realm, but at least they are all dominant forces, having established their sects for thousands or tens of thousands of years, with deep foundations.

This newly established Dao One Immortal Sect—does it also stand on equal footing with them?

If it weren't for Ye Zhangqing's own identity, they probably wouldn't bother to pay attention.

An individual's fame being higher than that of a sect is truly rare.

Truly, it's just knowing the person but not the sect.

After a bout of astonishment, someone suddenly spoke up, grasping the crux of the problem.

Only to see again Ji Le Gong Er Zu; this time he attends as the representative of Ji Le Gong, seated in the most conspicuous spot in the hall, right beside Huang Lao, the Heavenly Family's Old Ancestor, and a few others.

His gaze icy, even faintly carrying hatred, he looked at Ye Zhangqing with anger and let out a sneer.

"What we're discussing now is the supervisory rights over the beast clan; you, a Dao One Immortal Sect that's only been established a few years, do you have the right to interject?"

"Can your Dao One Immortal Sect handle the tens of millions of beast remnants? If you fail to supervise properly, you'll end up being wiped out by the beasts, leading to another beast uprising."

"Haha, what the Second Ancestor said is correct."

"The Dao One Immortal Sect's strength is indeed insufficient; it can't even suppress, so how can it supervise?"

"The supervisory right definitely requires strength."

Ji Le Gong Er Zu spoke, several sects, and the Immortal race people immediately voiced their agreement.

Needless to say, these are all subordinate immortal sects of Ji Le Gong, the Immortal race.

Ji Le Gong Er Zu had spoken; they naturally needed to express their position, to show loyalty.

Here comes that old thing again; Ye Zhangqing gave him a cold glance.

That old thing is truly disgusting; if it weren't for my current lack of ability to kill him, Ye Zhangqing would really want to strike.

Moreover, there is the never-before-seen Great Ancestor of Ji Le Gong, the legendary living dead.

The grudge against Ji Le Gong isn't exactly a deep hatred, but after several encounters, this grudge has only deepened.

Ye Zhangqing feels that in the future it will probably be hard to settle this peacefully; inevitably there will have to be a battle.

However, the opposing side is after all one of the top powers of the Immortal Realm, and moreover they also have a great ancestor comparable to Huang Lao and them.

So we still need to plan for the long term.

For now, the key is to first consider seizing the supervisory authority over the beast race.

As for this supervisory authority, since there is an opportunity, Ye Zhangqing naturally wants to contend for it.

It's impossible to just let it slip away like that.

So, facing the strength issue raised by Ji Le Gong Er Zu, Ye Zhangqing smiled and said.

"My Dao One Immortal Sect is indeed newly established, but haven't you all forgotten that I, the junior, still have another identity?"

"Cooking King Immortal City."

As soon as Ye Zhangqing said that, someone quickly realized: the Young City Lord of Cooking King Immortal City, and even this identity is more widely known than being an elder of the Dao One Immortal Sect, after all Ye Zhangqing first became famous under this identity.
