Chapter 918: Dilemma
The wolf demon ancestor of Tianlang Mountain might not be considered very strong in the Small Southern Domain, but in our area, it is still a top-tier powerhouse. Within a radius of one hundred thousand li, there are not many Heavenly Immortals, about ten or so. The wolf demon ancestor's cultivation is at least at the mid-stage Heavenly Immortal level.
If it weren't for his own cultivation advancing further, Changkong Li would not have dared to come over.
He did not believe that there would be anyone who would come to hunt that wolf demon ancestor.
Seeming to see Changkong Li's gaze, Elder Xie responded calmly: "Changkong Li, whether that wolf demon of Tianlang Mountain was killed or not, actually, one can just go and take a look. There is no need for us to lie about this."
"After all, one can know the result just by checking."
Elder Xie's words made Changkong Li silent. This matter is indeed very simple; one just needs to go to Tianlang Mountain to know.
"Elder, I think they are just tricking you into going to Tianlang Mountain."
"Their sect leader and ancestor are very likely at Tianlang Mountain. Tricking you into going over is just wanting to wipe you out in one fell swoop."
At this time, the Xuanmu Sect Elder also saw Changkong Li's hesitation, and his heart sank.
He was also a Xuanmu Sect Elder, but compared to Changkong Li, the status and power gap was unknown.
There are no fewer than thirty Xuanmu Sect Elders, and the gap in status and power between Earth Immortal-stage Elders and Primordial Spirit-stage Elders is quite large.
After all, in this world where the strong prey on the weak, only strength can represent everything.
The stronger the strength, the stronger the things you possess.
The Xuanmu Sect has only seven Earth Immortal-stage members and one Heavenly Immortal.
And Changkong Li is an Earth Immortal-stage cultivator, but his combat power is comparable to a Heavenly Immortal. After all, the former could slay a Heavenly Immortal-level Great Demon.
His status in the Xuanmu Sect is only below that ancestor.
Even sometimes, Changkong Li is above that ancestor. After all, in the eyes of most Xuanmu Sect disciples, Changkong Li is their Xuanmu Sect's number one expert.
And he is just an ordinary Elder of the Xuanmu Sect, but before coming, the sect leader also secretly instructed him to take down the Qiyuan Sect.
Now seeing Changkong Li hesitate, he was very anxious.
He brought quite a few disciples this time, but the strength of the Qiyuan Sect side is also not weak.
Although compared to their Xuanmu Sect's overall strength, it is certainly a large difference, but compared to the force he brought over now, it is about the same.
If Changkong Li does not take action, or really goes to Tianlang Mountain and leaves them behind, relying on themselves, they might be able to suppress and take down the Qiyuan Sect.
But the other side fighting for their lives, a cornered beast fighting, will absolutely cause them not small casualties.
By then, returning, he will not be able to avoid being punished by the sect leader.
So at this moment, this Xuanmu Sect Elder was very anxious in his heart.
Moreover, he was more experienced than Changkong Li. From the tone of that Qiyuan Sect Elder, he also heard that their words were very likely true.
The Qiyuan Sect likely really had two Heavenly Immortal-stage people come, and then slew the Qiyuan Sect ancestor and the Tianlang Mountain wolf demon.
This was increasingly unfavorable for their Xuanmu Sect.
Therefore, he hoped that Changkong Li could cleanly and neatly take down the Qiyuan Sect first.
But familiar with Changkong Li's personality, the other party might be jealous of evil like hatred toward demons and monsters, but toward cultivators who have not committed mistakes, this person has never taken action.
Asking him to take action against the Qiyuan Sect disciples, the other party is likely not very willing.
Originally, the Xuanmu Sect sect leader wanted to use the Qiyuan Sect ancestor to make Changkong Li take action, and then they could pick up the bargain.
But he didn't expect that plans cannot keep up with changes. Now that the Qiyuan Sect ancestor is dead, Changkong Li is not necessarily willing to take action.
After all, people have not made mistakes now. If he takes action, that is bullying the weak.
This itself is inconsistent with Changkong Li's personality, and Changkong Li's sword heart is clear. Once he does this, it is very likely to stain his sword heart, which is something he and the entire Xuanmu Sect are unwilling to see.
After all, Changkong Li is the future of their Xuanmu Sect. Their Xuanmu Sect ancestor, although a Heavenly Immortal, even has the opportunity to peek at some True Immortals.
But it is only a possibility. However, their Xuanmu Sect, and even many people in the Small Southern Domain, feel that if Changkong Li does not encounter any accidents, there will absolutely be no problem becoming a True Immortal in the future—a True Immortal Sword Immortal.
His strength is absolutely the most top-tier existence in the Small Southern Domain. Below the Golden Immortal, he is the strongest combat power.
As for whether he can break through to the Golden Immortal, some people feel there is an opportunity, but most people do not believe it.
But for their Xuanmu Sect, even if he only reaches the True Immortal stage, that is enough. A True Immortal Sword Immortal is comparable to an invincible existence below the Golden Immortal.
It can absolutely make their Xuanmu Sect become a major sect in the Small Southern Domain. For the Xuanmu Sect disciples, this is already enough. They do not have too strong ambitions to compete with those sects in Nanzhan Buzhou.
That is unrealistic.
The major sects in Nanzhan Buzhou almost all come from immortal and god major sects; how can they compare?
Being able to rank in the Small Southern Domain is already a fortunate thing.
Therefore, Changkong Li's importance to the Xuanmu Sect is incomparable.
For this, the mere Qiyuan Sect compared to him is simply the gap between heaven and earth.
He understands the sect leader, who certainly will not force Changkong Li to take action because of this, but he is somewhat unwilling.
After all, if he can take down this Qiyuan Sect, he will have made a contribution, and in the future, he can become the person in charge of the Qiyuan Sect.
Then, with the help of the Qiyuan Sect's resources, he will also have the opportunity to charge toward the Earth Immortal stage.
He has reached the Spirit Refining stage for several thousand years already. If he doesn't break through, he will grow old and die. He is not reconciled.
But at this moment, no one cares about his inner thoughts.
The Qiyuan Sect disciples were all nervously looking at Changkong Li. At this moment, they all understood that the fate of the Qiyuan Sect seemed to be held in this person's hands.
Once the other party takes action, none of them will be spared.
The struggles between sects are quite bloody. On this point, some Elders of the Qiyuan Sect also understand, and they have even participated in them.
After all, the Qiyuan Sect back then was not here, but their ancestor participated in a war, defeated the sect originally here, seized the mountain gate foundation, and later established the Qiyuan Sect here.
The Xuanmu Sect brought so many disciples here; what does that mean? These Elders could not fail to understand.
It is nothing more than eyeing their mountain gate and wanting to seize it.
Even in the eyes of some people, the other party coming to find their ancestor is nothing more than an excuse to take action, making their Xuanmu Sect's action seem righteous and having a teacher to be famous.
It is just that they do not understand some of Changkong Li's inner entanglement at this moment.
At this moment, Changkong Li also roughly understood the current situation.
Although he does not like worldly affairs, he is not a fool. With his clear sword heart, he roughly heard that the people of the Qiyuan Sect were not lying.
So what should he do now? ===== CHAPTER 919 =====
