Chapter 251

Three days later.

In the Six Provinces of the Qinggu Heavenly Realm, several pieces of news spread, once again stirring up a thousand waves.

The Qingyun Immortal Sect is a demonic sect, a spy sent by the Ziling Heavenly Realm to Qinggu.

Han Yue True Immortal was revived by them using demonic secret arts, and has become a controlled demon puppet.

The Qingyun Demon Sect plans to gradually swallow Qinggu and massacre the six great provinces.

These three pieces of news suddenly arrived, more sensational than before, causing an uproar across the six great continents.

Is this news true or false! Who dares to slander the Immortal Sect with such audacity!

Maybe half true, half false; hard to say. We little folks had better not speculate recklessly.

I feel it's very likely true! Think about it, didn't the Qingyun Sect suddenly appear and, in a short time, become powerful enough to dominate a region?

Furthermore, I feel this news is correct; the secret art capable of reviving a True Immortal giant—how could such a thing exist in the Lower Heavy Heaven? It must be some evil method of the demon race.

All over the six provinces, discussions revolve around these several shocking pieces of news, including the Qingyun Sect's home province of Xianlan.

……

Xianlan Province, the Yuwén Immortal Clan.

Upon hearing these several pieces of news, the entire Yuwén Immortal Clan, from top to bottom, was filled with anxiety.

Qingyun Immortal Sect! That is actually their main sect.

If they really are demons, then aren't we essentially collaborating with demons?

They will surely face suppression from all the great powers, big and small, within the Heavenly Realm.

At this moment, inside the Yuwén Immortal Hall, dozens of clan elders sat upright with grave expressions, the hall silent as cicadas in winter.

Everyone, do you feel this news is true or false?

Finally, an elder spoke up, breaking the silence.

I feel this matter is false; it's definitely a rumor.

Right, although the main sect somehow recruited a disciple who fell into the demonic path, that doesn't prove anything.

Yeah, who knows where this rumor came from.

If the main sect were a demonic sect, the patriarch himself had entered it; would the patriarch not know? The patriarch is no fool.

Immediately, the remaining elders in the hall all spoke up.

The Grand Elder in the chief seat, after listening to the elders below speak, then rose with a solemn expression.

The patriarch has gone to the Shénhuáng Heavenly Realm, the clan head has gone to travel the outer realms; now the whole clan's heavy responsibility rests on me and all of you.

A small mistake could lead to our clan's eternal doom.

I have decided to steadfastly follow the patriarch's orders, trusting the main sect!

The Grand Elder's several solemn words spread throughout the immortal hall.

Upon hearing this, the many elders below all expressed their support.

The main sect is immensely strong, naturally unafraid of these rumors.

But this matter is a bit fishy; definitely someone is deliberately targeting the main sect, behind which lies a shocking plot; our clan also needs to prepare early.

……

Regarding this matter, the hegemonic power of Xianlan Province, the Yuming Immortal Kingdom, has expressed no stance.

The three major powers that hold the reins in the Heavenly Realm—the Xianqing Academy and the other two great academies—are all in tacit agreement on this, and none have stepped forward to express a stance.

……

Within the Yuming Immortal Kingdom's territory, the Night Sword Immortal Sect.

The senior's sect is a demonic force? Who the hell said that!

In the hall of the Night Sword Immortal Sect, Sect Master Yechen, upon hearing the news, was furious beyond measure.

To slander the senior by claiming the Qingyun Immortal Sect is a demonic force is utterly absurd!

And to slander Senior Han Yue as now merely a demon puppet.

What kind of brain would believe these messages?

He and the senior traveled together for a while; the senior's cultivation is profound, his methods heavenly, his state transcendent.

Where does a demonic cultivator's bloodlust come from? These people just open their mouths and spew it—this is utterly unreasonable!

Someone! Where is our sect's sword?

Hiss! I got excited, and my head started hurting again.

……

On the other side, Qingyun Sect.

The news also quickly spread throughout Qingyun Sect.

In a moment, all Qingyun Sect disciples and elders from every branch were filled with righteous indignation.

What does this mean? Slandering our Qingyun as a demonic sect?

Who has the gall to do such a thing!

We walk upright and sit properly, with no shame before heaven!

If they want to fight, let them fight; they don't need to smear us with filth.

In the menial disciples' area, Li Yin, dressed in menial garb, was currently heading alone to the Spacetime Tower for practice as instructed by the steward.

On the way, he overheard some outer sect senior brothers discussing.

Demonic path? Slander? What does this mean?

He immediately walked over, curious, and said, "Senior brother, what are you saying now? Is someone slandering our sect?"

Li Yin clasped his hands together, puzzled, and asked.

Upon hearing this, the two outer sect disciples who had been angrily discussing stopped and turned toward the speaker.

White hair, menial servant attire, senior menial servant?

Isn't this the youth that Senior Han Yue brought in a few days ago?

He is also the protagonist of these rumors.

"It's fine, it's fine, we're just discussing cultivation matters."

After saying that, the disciple gave his friend beside him a glance.

That disciple immediately understood.

"Yes, junior brother, we're just discussing cultivation matters—it's too hard! My immortal method has reached a bottleneck."

"By the way, junior brother, where are you headed?"

Hearing this, Li Yin's expression eased, and he suddenly realized: "Oh, that's how it is, sorry for disturbing you two, senior brothers."

"I was planning to go to the Spacetime Tower mentioned by the steward's office; I heard the time flow there is one to a thousand—this is practically heaven-defying!"

In response, the two outer sect disciples beside him both nodded: "Yes, the Spacetime Tower is one of Azure Cloud Sect's great cultivation holy lands—no need to say more, junior brother, go quickly."

After Li Yin left, the two outer sect disciples finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If we directly told him the truth, he would surely feel guilty.

Not far away, Li Yin's expression remained calm, but his mind was still filled with doubts—those two senior brothers just now looked so angry from afar; could there really be a problem with their cultivation method?

Hmm? Why are so many senior brothers gathered up ahead?

…

In the magnificent Azure Cloud Immortal Hall, Feng Qingyang sat in the chief seat, his expression grim.

Below, several sect high-ranking members stood respectfully.

Red Dust Immortal Fu Hongchen, Sword Immortal Ye Qing, Master of the Immortal Pavilion Lin Wenxian, Heavenly Tower Elder Zi Han Yue, and near the hall's gate there was also a sweeping monk holding a broom.

"Sect Master, behind this matter there must be a heaven-shaking conspiracy; it is surely the major powers of other continents, even several major powers, jointly plotting."

Upon hearing this, True Immortal Han Yue stood up.

"Sect Master, my opinion is the same as that of the Master of the Wenxian Pavilion."

At this moment, her heart was deeply unsettled, and a cold gleam flashed in her eyes.

It seems some people in the Heavenly Realm have been too comfortable for too long!

On the hall's chief seat, Feng Qingyang gazed down imposingly without speaking.

With a thought, a figure clad in a black robe appeared in the immortal hall.

"Reporting to my lord, I have sent many personnel from the Hidden Tower to investigate, and we have already gathered some information."

"Those rumors originated from the Immortal Continent, and the Celestial Radiance Continent also has forces fanning the flames."

"As for the remaining information, my subordinates are still looking into it; I believe we will have results soon."

After appearing, the figure spoke respectfully to report.

【"Ding, someone actually dares to slander the Azure Cloud Sect; as the future foremost divine sect of the myriad heavens, this cannot be tolerated."】

【"Issue a mission: annihilate all forces spreading rumors and slandering the Azure Cloud Sect; completion will yield a huge reward."】
