Chapter 441

Looking at Jiang Shan and Peng Yun gulping soup, Qi Xiong, Hong Zun and the others couldn't help but swallow saliva.

Yet no one dared to step forward to snatch it; there was nothing to be done, after all, who let them be of Great Saint Realm cultivation.

Only Mo Yun said enviously.

"Two Grand Elders, take it slow, be careful not to choke to death."

"Cough cough cough......"

"It would have been better not to say that; as soon as the words fell, Jiang Shan and Peng Yun started coughing wildly."

"Turning his head to look at Mo Yun, this kid is the Peak Master of Wen Yuan Peak, right? I had heard a bit about him before; indeed, he's not simple."

"However, since he has already joined the Dao Yi Sect, naturally he won't quarrel with Mo Yun over a single sentence."

"Upon first tasting Ye Zhangqing's cooking, Jiang Shan and Mo Yun were unsurprisingly full of praise."

"As for the decision to join the Dao Yi Sect, there was not the slightest hesitation anymore."

"As for the outcome of the battle between the Dao Yi Sect and the Qing Yun Sect, as expected, it spread throughout the major forces of Dongzhou in no time."

"What did you say? Jiang Shan and Peng Yun, these two old fogeys, were killed?"

"Inside the Huang Ji Sect, Ji Wushuang listened to the report from the junior disciple below, his eyes full of shock."

"He had thought the Dao Yi Sect would win, but he never imagined they would win so easily, and that the Qing Yun Sect would lose so thoroughly."

"Their own ancestors were both killed by the other side; isn't the Qing Yun Sect basically done for?"

"Facing Ji Wushuang's shock, all the Holy Ones of the Huang Ji Sect present expressed understanding, but still someone spoke up."

"Shī xiōng, now is not the time to be shocked; the Qing Yun Sect's crushing defeat can be said to signal that the pattern of Dongzhou is about to change."

"Ji Wushuang naturally thought of that as well."

"On one hand, the rise of the Dao Yi Sect has already become unstoppable; on the other hand, the Qing Yun Sect, having lost its two Great Saint ancestors, is bound to decline."

"Most importantly, the resources and territory once controlled by the Qing Yun Sect are likely to have to be given up."

"After all, given the Qing Yun Sect's current strength, it is impossible to hold onto those resources and territory."

"That Holy One's meaning is just this; the Huang Ji Sect's top priority right now is how to get a share from the Qing Yun Sect."

"It's very realistic, but this is the fact."

"In the past, the four major sects of Dongzhou appeared to check and balance each other, yet also allied with each other."

"But that was only in ordinary times; once you yourself become weak, those so-called allies will turn around and become the most terrifying enemies."

"Whether it's the Huang Ji Sect or the Luo Xia Sect, they don't care about the life or death of the Qing Yun Sect; in fact, they hope the Qing Yun Sect will perish."

"Because only then can they gain more benefits."

"As for any past alliance sentiments, they don't exist."

"Ji Wushuang nodded while deep in thought, his mind already beginning to plot how to act."

"Su Luoxing on the other side was the same."

"That Chen Qingyu is no fool; knowing the current situation, not cutting flesh is impossible."

"The most crucial point is just how to divide this piece of meat among everyone."

"Shī xiōng said so."

"The Huang Ji Sect is fine, it's just the Dao Yi Sect.........."

"The Dao Yi Sect is the chief culprit in defeating the Qing Yun Sect; logically, the Dao Yi Sect should definitely take the lion's share, after which it's the Luo Xia Sect and the Huang Ji Sect's turn, and finally the other major sects."

"But Su Luoxing obviously does not want the Dao Yi Sect to take the lion's share."

"Because the Dao Yi Sect is already strong; if it gains even more resources and territory, the gap between them will only widen."

"But for now, how can one gain an advantage in the distribution process?"

"Su Luoxing also couldn't think of a good solution for the time being."

"As for the Dao Yi Sect, Qi Xiong had already sent a message to Wu Shou, asking him to contact the Qing Yun Sect and tell Chen Qingyu that if he were willing to become a subsidiary of the Dao Yi Sect, like Putuo Temple, then the Dao Yi Sect could protect the Qing Yun Sect's safety."

"What kind of person is Qi Xiong? How could someone with an unclean heart sit firmly in the position of Sect Master?"

"So, upon learning that Jiang Shan and Peng Yun had faked their deaths, he immediately thought of this, and moreover obtained their approval."

"For the two of them, receiving the Dao Yi Sect's protection is already considered the best option."

"Since the two had no objections, Qi Xiong naturally hesitated no longer."

"But with just his order, the one who suffers is Wu Shou."

"At this moment, in the hall of the Dao Yi Sect, Wu Shou was discussing the Qing Yun Sect's affairs with Tian Nong and a few others."

"Senior Brother wants to take over the Qing Yun Sect?"

"I feel the Qing Yun Sect will probably fight desperately."

"Just now they killed the other side's two ancestors, and now they want to subjugate them—is this about killing the person and exterminating the heart?"

"But Senior Brother told us to contact without restraint; Chen Qingyu won't refuse."

"I suppose Senior Brother has his own ideas."

"So what should we do now? Contact them?"

"Let's give it a try."

"In the end, Wu Shou still proactively contacted Chen Qingyu; the formation connected quickly, and Chen Qingyu appeared with a grim face in the formation light curtain, speaking angrily."

"How is it, Grand Elder Wu, are you preparing to come compensate?"

"Previously, Yu Mo said no explanation was needed and directly let the Qing Yun Sect go, but now Wu Shou proactively contacted again, so Chen Qingyu naturally had no pleasant expression."

"His Qing Yun Sect has fallen to this state— isn't it all thanks to the Dao Yi Sect?"

"Seeing this, Wu Shou took a deep breath and spoke somewhat complexly."

"Um, I don't know if Sect Master Chen would be willing to become a subsidiary of my Dao Yi Sect? My Dao Yi Sect can protect the safety of the Qing Yun Sect."

"As soon as those words were spoken, Chen Qingyu on the other end of the formation froze, then immediately roared in anger."

Wu Shou, don't bully people too much, Dao Yi Sect. A scholar can be killed but not humiliated; at worst, my Qing Yun Sect will fight you to the death.

Damn it, you killed two of our ancestors, and now you want my Qing Yun Sect to submit to you—this isn't just bullying, it's damn bullying.

Chen Qingyu's reaction was exactly as Wu Shou had expected.

However, he still took out a recording stone as Qi Xiong had said.

"Sect Master Chen, don't get excited yet; this is something my senior brother asked me to give you. After you watch it, you'll understand."

Huh???

Upon hearing that, Chen Qingyu blinked again. What is it?

Wu Shou also didn't know what was inside the recording stone; but after playing it as instructed, in an instant, everyone on both sides of the formation light curtain was stunned.

Because the person appearing on the recording stone was none other than Jiang Shan.

It was like a dying wish, and the content was very simple.

It was simply telling Chen Qingyu not to make a wrong choice out of hatred; in the war with the Dao Yi Sect, there was no clear right or wrong, and since they had lost, as sect master he ought to think of a way to preserve the sect.

And now, choosing the Dao Yi Sect is undoubtedly the best outcome—at least it can preserve the foundation of the Qing Yun Sect.

The content was very short, and the playback finished soon.

Wu Shou, Tian Nong, and the few brothers exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Holy crap, where did the senior brother get this thing?

Originally there was no hope at all, but now, having this thing, Wu Shou suddenly looked at Chen Qingyu with full confidence.

"Chen Brother, you've seen it too, right? You wouldn't want Senior Jiang Shan to rest uneasily even in the underworld, would you?"

"You.............."

Upon hearing that, Chen Qingyu's eyelids twitched wildly, and the anger in his heart rose uncontrollably—is this a threat? This is damn threatening.
