Chapter 1774

In the grand hall of the Longevity Sect, Elder Situ Liang and others had already taken their seats at the head, waiting for the Gu clan, the Longevity clan, and others to arrive.

Fang Yuan was seated beside Elder Situ Liang.

She had her eyes closed.

Even during this waiting period, Fang Yuan was actually cultivating.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

From her body, the worm Dao Resonance emerged like white mist, faint and wafting, like ethereal immortal qi.

Several Gu clan Dao Fruit Realm elders snorted coldly and stepped into the hall.

They were very displeased.

This time, for the discussion, the Longevity Sect acted so high and mighty, with no etiquette at all.

"You've come, everyone sit."

Elder Situ Liang said lightly.

Elder Mo Feng flicked his sleeve, bringing the other Dao Fruit Realm elders to sit down.

Then he noticed Fang Ning Bing cultivating, slightly frowned, "At this time, you're still cultivating? Hmph..."

Elder Situ Liang said with a proud look, "Our Longevity Sect's divine envoy has always been like this—either fighting or cultivating!"

Many Longevity Sect elders felt honored.

Elder Mo Feng snorted coldly, "The Ming of my Abyssal lineage is the same! She's either fighting or cultivating all day!"

Everyone: "..."

"Alright, alright, discussing the important matters is pressing."

Just then, Empress Chi Yao swayed her long jade legs as she walked in, causing the two disputing sides to instantly cease fire.

Fang Yuan felt cold inside.

Over the past decade or so, the conflicts between the Gu clan and the Longevity Sect have often been mediated in secret by Empress Chi Yao.

This woman secretly had relations with many Dao Fruit Realm elders of both the Gu clan and the Longevity Sect, devoting herself to them in exchange for her iron throne.

Such conduct made Fang Yuan feel somewhat nauseated.

Shortly after, Elder You You also swayed his body and entered the hall.

This is an avatar, likewise a great demon's fleshly body, huge as a meat mountain, and it exudes a putrid stench.

Elder Situ Liang shook his head and said, "Elder You You, what have you been researching lately? If you spent this time studying the reincarnation pattern, perhaps we would gain more."

Elder You You snorted coldly, "I'll research whatever I want."

He doesn't put up with Situ Liang.

Everyone's faces twitched.

Elder You You has always done as he pleases; they can't control him much.

Then, an elder of the Longevity clan said, "Alright, alright, let's discuss the matter."

Everyone nodded.

The Longevity clan elder's face grew solemn: "Just recently, my Myriad Longevity Pavilion once again detected a massive fluctuation in the River of Time. It occurred in the Yaochi Star Region!"

Elder Situ Liang asked, "What did you find?"

The Longevity clan elder said, "We still can't determine who did it."

Fang Yuan understood clearly in her heart.

This is naturally because my master recently just entered the right-wing world from the left-wing world.

Elder Mo Feng said, "If I remember correctly, your Myriad Longevity Pavilion's records show that several previous fluctuations of the River of Time also occurred in the Yaochi Star Region."

The Longevity clan elder nodded, "Not bad."

Empress Chi Yao frowned and asked, "Could it be Lu Xuan?"

A white-robed man once suspected to be Lu Xuan appeared, but soon vanished like a fleeting blossom and never showed up again.

Back then, her schemes at the Yun Cliff Academy were ruined by that white-robed man.

Afterwards, she had the Myriad Longevity Pavilion deduce it, but could go no further.

This matter at the time startled the Buried Mystic Ancestor, Elder Wu Tian, and the River Ancestor.

They all placed great importance on this matter.

But in the tens of thousands of years that followed, that white-robed man vanished like evaporating into thin air and never acted again.

The Longevity clan elder also considered this, but soon sneered, "Even if we concede ten thousand steps and say he is Lu Xuan, his sneaking around for tens of thousands of years shows his strength is still lacking."

Fang Yuan smirked coldly in her heart.

This is because my master simply disdains to act.

To give them an opportunity to be tempered.

Otherwise, my master only needs a flick of the finger, and the entire Butterfly World would shatter!

Empress Chi Yao frowned and asked, "This time our plan to capture and kill Yun Zheng failed; how can we stop the reincarnation pattern? How can we stop the Ruthless Empress?"

"Especially now, the Yaochi dynasty has already scattered these damned things across many star seas as reincarnation patterns; they're like dogskin plasters, hidden in the starry sky, so even if I mobilize Yaochi's power, I cannot detect them."

"Originally, my Yaochi Star Region possessed ten great Spirit Fire Dao sites, but three have been plundered!"

"The situation now is perilous!"

She was very worried.

It's not because of this situation, but because she will lose her iron throne.

Having stood in a precarious position for tens of thousands of years, with few above her and billions below, she simply cannot abandon the empress's position.

More importantly, within the Yaochi Star Region now, there is a hidden force that bitterly hates him.

Within the Reincarnation Ancient Court, there is also a group of rebels who would love to kill her.

Once she loses power, she dares not imagine what she will have to face!

Elder Situ Liang nodded, "Indeed, over these past dozen years, too many things have happened. Your father emperor no longer pretends to be mad; he has joined the Reincarnation Ancient Court."

Upon hearing this, Empress Chi Yao flared with anger, "That damned thing!"

She was so angry her chest felt uncomfortable.

Before, he feigned madness on Yingzhao Star for tens of thousands of years.

Now it's okay?

Damn it, her dog father emperor definitely knew the whereabouts of the two Heavenly Mandate Primordial Sources before, but he just wouldn't say.

Otherwise, such extremely important intelligence would surely cause the Longevity Sect to change its strategy.

"This damned father emperor now works for the Ruthless Empress, just to piss me off."

Empress Chi Yao spoke in a sarcastic tone.

Fang Yuan felt nauseous in her heart.

Not only toward Empress Chi Yao, but also toward the old madman.

Like daughter, like father!

The two of them, one more outrageous than the other!

A moment of silence.

Empress Chi Yao suddenly said, "I actually have a plan."

"Oh? Empress Chi Yao, do tell." Situ Liang and the others' eyes lit up.

Empress Chi Yao said, "In half a year, it will be my birthday. I will hold a grand birthday celebration, magnificent and splendid, to shake the entire Yaochi Star Region."

"This is a yang scheme of this emperor."

"First, my Yaochi dynasty now somewhat weakened; this move is to intimidate the petty troublemakers of the Yaochi Alliance. I represent not only the Yaochi dynasty, but also the prestige of the Longevity Sect. Holding such a splendid birthday celebration will not only exalt my dynasty's might, but also exalt the Longevity Sect's might."

"Second, if I'm not mistaken, the Yaochi Alliance will definitely sabotage my birthday. Last time they did exactly that. Perfect—we'll turn their plan against them and set an ambush!"

"Third, ambushing the Yaochi Alliance is only part of it; more importantly, we will force out Yun Zheng, force out Xiahou Batian, and force out the Ruthless Empress!"

"This plan of mine can be said to achieve three goals with one action!"

Upon hearing this, Situ Liang and the others all expressed strong agreement.

"Good good good! Empress Yaochi's eyes are like torches."

"Do it! This birthday must be held magnificently! My Longevity Sect will also present a tremendous gift!"
