Chapter 468: with translation of chapter title

A few days passed.

Gui Xie sat in the City Lord's Mansion on Heavenly Pivot Island, sipping a cup of tea.

Named entities: Gui Xie, Heavenly Pivot Island.

Song Chang, the Island Lord of Heavenly Pivot Island, glared at Gui Xie and snapped, "That brat ran away! He even set up a formation that killed many of the enforcement team. Is this how you do things?!"

Named entities: Heavenly Pivot Island, Island Lord, Song Chang, Gui Xie.

"Tch, I told you earlier that brat isn't simple, but you just wouldn't believe me and refused to act yourself. Now it's fine—I brought the person to you, but if he ran away, that's not my concern."

No new named entities.

Song Chang gritted his teeth: "No matter if he lives or dies, you must catch him for me!"

No new.

Gui Xie let out a cold laugh: "You brat, do you think I, the Old Ancestor, am your servant, to be summoned and dismissed at will?!"

Named entities: Old Ancestor.

"Don't think I don't know—you're someone left over from the Rising Light Sect back then. With the Sun and Moon Palace's reform imminent, isn't it just you lot trying to restore the Sea Sky Alliance? Especially the Liu family!"

Named entities: Rising Light Sect, Sun and Moon Palace, Sea Sky Alliance, Liu Family.

It turns out that although the Sea Sky Alliance has been passed down since ancient times, the Rising Light Sect's one gate ten great vehicles back then had split apart; the Liu family is part of the Rising Light Sect, and the Liu family's Great Vehicle Stage Old Ancestor is one of the former Grand Elders of the Rising Light Sect.

Named entities: Sea Sky Alliance, Rising Light Sect, Liu Family, Great Vehicle Stage, Old Ancestor, Grand Elder.

Gui Xie's origins are ancient; he was born before the Rising Light Sect had split back then. It can be said that the Sea Sky Alliance existed in name only, while cultivators of the Dongxing Sea Region only know the prestige of the Sun and Moon Palace, but few know how powerful the Sea Sky Alliance's Rising Light Sect once was.

Named entities: Gui Xie, Rising Light Sect, Sea Sky Alliance, Dongxing Sea Region, Sun and Moon Palace.

Speaking of which, the Sun and Moon Palace is also part of the Rising Light Sect; in short, the present turmoil of the Sun and Moon Palace is merely internal strife.

Named entities: Sun and Moon Palace, Rising Light Sect.

The Sun and Moon Palace inherits the prestige of the Rising Light Sect and also controls the Dongxing Sea Region collectively, but in recent years various forces have grown strong; even if the Sun and Moon Palace occupies the legacy of the former Rising Light Sect, the passing of several Old Ancestors will inevitably cause a loss of top-tier combat power, bringing change to the Dongxing situation—no matter what those high-ups think, people's hearts will not stand still.

Named entities: Sun and Moon Palace, Rising Light Sect, Dongxing Sea Region, Old Ancestor.

Everyone wants good resources, everyone wants more spiritual stones, which involves the struggle over resources and the distribution of benefits.

Named entities: Spiritual Stone.

Nowadays the Sun and Moon Palace is gradually being sidelined, many forces have officially taken the stage, and the beast tide's arrival is merely a pretext, a means to force the Sun and Moon Palace to collapse quickly.

Named entities: Sun and Moon Palace.

As for Gui Xie?

Named entities: Gui Xie.

He is also a pawn.

No.

But what does that matter?

No.

Gui Xie knows what he is doing and for whom he works, so he naturally has nothing to fear.

Named entities: Gui Xie.

As for the saying "when the birds are gone, the bow is put away; when the rabbit is dead, the dog is cooked," how could this resurrected Gui Xie lack further schemes?

Named entities: Gui Xie.

After all, the entanglement of interests involves all the people of the Dongxing Sea Region, whether they like it or not, it's not up to them to decide.

Named entities: Dongxing Sea Region.

Gui Xie set down his teacup and said lightly, "So Island Lord Song, do you intend to defy the trend? The Sun and Moon Palace treats you this well? Other island lords are all willing to contribute to the new era—you... really intend to lay down your life for the Sun and Moon Palace?"

Named entities: Gui Xie, Island Lord, Song Chang, Sun and Moon Palace.

"I have received great kindness from the Sun and Moon Palace; how could I not repay it?"

Named entities: Sun and Moon Palace.

"Don't say these useless things; if you really have ideas, why did you let the Old Ancestor come here?"

Named entities: Old Ancestor.

"You!"

No.

Gui Xie let out a cold laugh: "How come? Feeling guilty and dare not continue?"

Named entities: Gui Xie.

Song Chang's face darkened, and he said nothing.

Named entities: Song Chang.

Gui Xie rose and said, "If that's the case, Island Lord Song, please continue to guard Heavenly Pivot Island, and take care of the rest."

Named entities: Gui Xie, Island Lord, Heavenly Pivot Island.

"Hmph!"

No.

The factional struggle is far more intense than anyone imagines; the existence of the Sun and Moon Palace seems to be teetering on the brink, and the moment it falls, it will become a feast for all forces to devour greedily.

Named entities: Sun and Moon Palace, Existence.

On the surface, as the strongest force in the Dongxing Sea Region, the Sun and Moon Palace would certainly not neglect the Twenty-Eight Star Lodges Island, and must dispatch many cultivators to deal with the beast tide.

Named entities: Sun and Moon Palace, Dongxing Sea Region, Twenty-Eight Star Lodges Island.

At this time, if other forces jointly pressure the palace, this coup could be accomplished without bloodshed.

No new.

But how many cultivators have died on the Outer Sea Twenty-Eight Star Lodges Island?

Named entities: Outer Sea Twenty-Eight Star Lodges Island.

No one knows.

No.

As for the other side.

No.

After Yan Buji's plundering in various places, he noticed the number of cultivators around him increasing, realizing that the pattern of the Dongxing Sea Region was about to be completely changed, though the ensuing chaos would still cause all living beings in the Turbulent Sea to suffer.

Named entities: Yan Buji, Dongxing Sea Region, Chaos, Turbulent Sea.

But it doesn't have much to do with him.

No.

"A great harvest!!"

No named entities (just exclamation).

Yan Buji gave a hehe laugh, this time taking advantage of the monster beasts breaking through the Star Lodges Island, he plundered resources worth over ten million spiritual stones—of course this is absolutely not the limit of the Twenty-Eight Star Lodges Island; it can even be said to be a drop in the bucket.

Named entities: Yan Buji, Spiritual Stone, Twenty-Eight Star Lodges Island.

Because there are too many cultivators and resources are abundant, the Dongxing cultivators are not lacking in resources; it's just that being caught up in the struggle has caused countless casualties among the lower-level cultivators, while the higher-level cultivators remain largely unharmed.

Named entities:

Yan Buji also discovered that, before the monster beasts attacked, the supporting Nascent Soul Stage cultivators had already fled with large amounts of resources.

Named entities: Yan Buji, Nascent Soul Stage.

Even what he eats is just their leftovers, and he still has to compete with those who secretly plunder alongside Yan Buji.

Named entities: Yan Buji.

So although his gains can satisfy his needs, they're really not that much.

No.

"Given the situation, it's still better to leave the Turbulent Sea early; the Sun and Moon Palace's factional struggle may not be decided within decades. If forced, we'd still have to fight, but for now it's best to hurry and find a place to seclude ourselves and cultivate, and talk about it after these few decades."

Named entities: Turbulent Sea, Sun and Moon Palace.

Thinking this, Yan Buji gazed into the distance.

Named entities: Yan Buji.

Among the great powers there are certainly no shortage of geniuses, and in the mortal world there are indeed flood dragons.

Named entities:

However, in this turmoil, few people can survive, while those great powers hardly suffer any damage, and the Sun and Moon Palace's problems are so great that it's hard to turn things around.

Named entities: Chaos, Sun and Moon Palace.

Who knows what pattern the Turbulent Sea will have when they return someday?

Named entities: Turbulent Sea.

Yan Buji thought it over, and if he were a cultivator of the Sun and Moon Palace, he would absolutely not be willing to leave Sun and Moon Island, to leave the place that belongs to him.

Named entities: Yan Buji, Sun and Moon Palace, Sun and Moon Island.

It is necessary to start a war, to form factions and fight, in order to decide a winner.

No.

In that case.....

No.

"Let's go to the Boundless Sea," Yan Buji laughed.

Named entities: Boundless Sea, Yan Buji.

This world is vast.

No.

So vast that the number of people like Yan Buji who take advantage of chaos to rise up is countless.

Named entities: Yan Buji.

Let's say that when Yan Buji was plundering on islands before, he also encountered several formidable individuals.

Named entities: Yan Buji.

Some, due to insufficient greed, were slapped to death by a Nascent Soul Cultivator who took their storage bags; others, preserving themselves wisely, left early.

Named entities: Nascent Soul Cultivator.

"Is it you? Yan Buji!"

Named entities: Yan Buji.

Yan Buji turned his head and saw an acquaintance.

Named entities: Yan Buji.

"Huh? You... Fairy Wei?"

Named entities:

Wei Zixu also seemed to have used a transformation technique, though that fiery aura was terrifying; Yan Buji could tell from the voice.

Named entities: Wei Zixu, Yan Buji.

Wei Zixu looked at Yan Buji's face and asked, "Is this really your true appearance?"

Named entities: Wei Zixu, Yan Buji.

That's the original.

"So you're not human, you're a different kind?"

"Pretty much. Why is Wei Xianzi here?" Yan Buji asked.

"Going to lay low; this Turbulent Sea is too chaotic." Wei Zixu sighed.

Yan Buji raised an eyebrow, clasped his hands and said, "I'm the same, so I won't say much more. Farewell."

Seeing Yan Buji turn into a flash of light and flee far away, Wei Zixu also didn't ask anything, turned and flew off, disappearing on the horizon.
