Chapter 716

Bang! "Damn it! Who on earth leaked the news?"

In the inner city of Haohan, at the station of the Liuhe Sect, a high-level member of the Liuhe Sect looked livid with anger.

"Enough! Foolish child, this news could not be hidden for long."

Qingmu Sanren appeared as an elderly man, unremarkable and plain; if placed in a crowd, no one would notice him.

And the young man who had just angrily slapped the table was none other than the Vice Sect Leader of the Liuhe Sect, Shangguan Chilong, who had red hair draped over his shoulders, sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, sharp features, and emitted a scorching and violent sword Qi from his entire body.

This person was also a disciple of Qingmu Sanren, and his cultivation had reached the fifth layer of the Nascent Soul stage.

Qingmu Sanren had taken in many disciples over two lifetimes; only one disciple from his first lifetime had successfully reincarnated, and in his second lifetime, he had taken in six disciples, three of whom had reached the Nascent Soul stage.

Shangguan Chilong was Qingmu Sanren's youngest disciple, but he was also the strongest, at the fifth layer of the Nascent Soul stage, and he also possessed the Red Dragon Battle Body.

In terms of combat power, he was even comparable to many cultivators at the sixth layer of the Nascent Soul stage.

Within the Liuhe Sect, his strength was also among the top.

"Master, in this way, the Sea Race will inevitably take action; they will not watch you break through."

Shangguan Chilong's face was livid.

"Haha! Disciple, even if no one leaked it, as long as I break through, it would inevitably be discovered."

"Moreover, the Sea Race watches us few ninth-layer Nascent Soul cultivators in Yunzhou very strictly; even if no one leaked it, they would still discover it."

Qingmu Sanren shook his head, seemingly not caring at all that the news of his attempt to break through to the Primordial Spirit stage was known to the outside world.

In reality, for a peak Nascent Soul cultivator to want to break through to the Primordial Spirit stage was a major event in the Yuanyang Realm; it was impossible to break through secretly.

Especially for these great cultivators at the ninth layer of the Nascent Soul stage, the various hostile powers watched them very strictly, and some even hired people to perform calculations.

The Human Race was the same toward the Demon Race.

Therefore, he had been prepared in his heart for a long time.

"But Master, with the news leaking so quickly, it will be troublesome to prepare; it must be the work of those major powers."

Shangguan Chilong was still somewhat unwilling; he felt that the one who leaked the news must be one of the other five major sects, and it was even possible that any of these five major sects could have done it.

Although the six major sects guarded Yunzhou and united to resist the Sea Race forces of the South Sea, this did not mean that the six major sects had close relationships.

He knew that there were quite a few frictions between the six major sects, especially in recent years, as the strength of their Liuhe Sect had increased rapidly, attracting quite a few loose cultivators from other continents, which had already made the other major powers jealous.

Once his master really broke through to the Primordial Spirit stage, wouldn't Yunzhou be controlled by their Liuhe Sect? If it were him, he would not want to see that either.

Therefore, these major powers would not openly take action to block the path, but if they leaked the news to the outside and let the Sea Race take action to come and block the path, that was also a very normal thing.

"Disciple, don't be so extreme."

Qingmu Sanren shook his head; to say that this news was leaked by those major sects, he still did not believe it; they had no reason to do so, other than being worried about him breaking through.

Even if the news was not leaked, it could not be hidden; even a while ago, his heart and mind stirred, and a mysterious power faintly touched him; clearly, someone was making calculations.

Therefore, as long as his aura stirred, this information would inevitably be spread out.

By then, the Sea Race would also know very soon.

Breaking through from the Nascent Soul stage to the Primordial Spirit stage could not be completed in a day or two.

Those hostile forces had enough time to make arrangements.

Therefore, leaking the news in advance was of no use at all; on the contrary, once discovered by the cultivation world of Yunzhou, it would only result in a bad reputation, damaging the reputation of one's own sect, and it was thankless work.

He did not believe that the high-level members of the various major sects would be so short-sighted.

As for whether his breakthrough would affect the major powers, this would naturally have an impact, but would it really have that much impact on the other five major powers?

Qingmu Sanren did not believe it; which of those five major powers did not have a deep foundation? Even if he broke through, he would not be able to pose any threat to the major powers.

Especially the ancient sects standing behind the Piaomiao Palace and the Shangqing Sword Sect; they were not lacking in Primordial Spirit stage cultivators.

"Enough! Let's not mention this matter anymore."

Seeing that Shangguan Chilong still wanted to say something, the former waved his hand to interrupt him.

"This time, as I attempt to break through to the Primordial Spirit stage, the Longjing and Longsha clans of the Sea Race will inevitably send fifth-tier Sea Race members to sabotage it; additionally, among the Human Race, I also have two enemies from back then; they will certainly not sit by and watch me break through."

"As for whether others will come to sabotage it, I am not clear."

"Fortunately, I have traveled widely over these years and have quite a few good friends; they will come over together to protect me when the time comes."

"And Jian Wuji of the Shangqing Sword Sect and Superior Qingfeng of the Piaomiao Palace, among the five major sects, are also my good friends; they will secretly protect me, so you don't need to worry about me."

Qingmu Sanren appeared calm and composed; he was quite confident in his heart about this attempt; after all, he had already successfully stirred his three souls, and he only needed to wait for the heavenly soul to reside in the life palace of the Purple Mansion, and once a wisp of pure yang thought emerged, his chance of breaking through would reach seventy percent.

He was confident about the heavenly tribulation and human tribulation that would follow.

"Senior Jian Wuji and Senior Qingfeng."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Chilong's expression was shocked, and he soon revealed a look of joy; these two people had quite a reputation in Yunzhou, and even in the Yuanyang Realm.

Especially Senior Jian Wuji, who was known as the number one person below the Primordial Spirit stage, and his combat power was absolutely terrifying.

He had once escaped from the hands of a Primordial Spirit demonic cultivator and even used his sword to injure that demonic cultivator's primordial spirit; it was precisely because of this that the Shangqing Sword Sect was ranked as the number one power in Yunzhou, and although the Shangqing Sword Sect had fewer Nascent Soul stage cultivators than the Piaomiao Palace and the Liuhe Sect, its strength was still recognized as the strongest.

This was also inseparable from this Senior Jian Wuji.

With this senior secretly protecting him, the worry in Shangguan Chilong's heart immediately vanished by quite a bit.

Unless this time, the enemies coming to sabotage his master included several powerful Dragon Race members with fifth-tier true dragon bloodlines.

But was that possible?

Generally, Dragon Race members with true dragon bloodlines would not leave their ancestral lands and rarely participated in the disputes among the various races of the Yuanyang Realm.

The Dragon Race was nominally the emperor of the four seas, but their relationship with the human cultivators was not hostile; on the contrary, some were on very good terms with human sects.

Of course, the Dragon Race almost never participated in the slaughter between the Sea Race and the cultivators, unless the human cultivators provoked the Dragon Race.

The Liuhe Sect had never provoked the Dragon Race, and his master was even on very good terms with a fifth-tier high-grade red dragon.

But unfortunately, that red dragon was not among the Dragon Race of the South Sea; otherwise, with the influence of the Dragon Race in the four seas, it could have reduced some of the Sea Race's invasions.

However, with two powerful experts with top-tier Nascent Soul combat power, Jian Wuji and Superior Qingfeng, secretly guarding, Shangguan Chilong felt much more at ease.
