Chapter 281 - 135: Breakthrough in Health Cultivation Reaches 30,000 Lifespan, Naturally Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Disasters (8k Combined Chapter, Asking for Subscription)_4
So, how exactly did the Upper Green Sect Master die? Whether or not Hua Tian Sect was involved remains a mystery.
The Sect Master hoped that everything would go smoothly this time, so that there would be a peaceful future for the Three Sects and Six Orders, and that he himself would have ample lifespan for cultivation and growth. He was the person least willing to have accidents happen.
Following that, Dan Ding Sect returned to calmness once more, just like before when nothing had changed.
Upper Green Sect.
Dandingzi’s arrival at the Upper Green Sect went more smoothly than he had anticipated since Hua Tian Sect’s Sect Master and Refining Equipment Peak Elder had already arrived at the foot of Upper Green Sect Mountain at the same time.
This move demonstrated their determination; the two Nascent Soul Masters personally attended the meeting, so how could this be possible if they didn’t want to take down the Upper Green Sect?
The next day, they received Dandingzi’s message, and without any hesitation, they immediately replied agreeing to meet with him.
The moment they received Dandingzi’s message, they instantly thought of the reason—perhaps it was a united request from other sects that brought Dandingzi here, as everyone was well aware of Dandingzi’s character.
When they met Dandingzi, Hua Tian Sect Master Yu Zhenzi was the first to bow and greet him warmly.
“Daoist friend Dandingzi, long time no see.”
Dandingzi could only respond with a wry smile and immediately returned the greeting. He had already met with the other sect masters beforehand, so he had no choice but to do the same now, as Dan Ding sect did not want to offend anyone.
Fortunately, Yu Zhenzi was calm and gave him enough respect. At that moment, seven streaks of light sped towards them, and they were none other than the Sect Masters of the other Sects.
They did not conceal their whereabouts, and while Yu Zhenzi and Refining Equipment Peak Elder secretly prepared themselves, they were not overly aggressive.
With Dandingzi acting as a buffer, everyone was able to have a peaceful meeting, and after that, they sat down, tacitly understanding each other. This was also the first time that the upper echelons of the Three Sects and Six Orders had sat down for peaceful talks after the death of Upper Green Sect Master Chenyangzi.
In fact, they all knew exactly what they wanted, and they didn’t need to say much. Once everyone was seated, Dandingzi became the busiest person there.
He made his stance clear from the very beginning: this time, he was merely an intermediary. The outcome of the negotiations, as well as any other matters, did not concern him.
Throughout the process, the Dan Ding Sect had steadfastly adhered to the principle they had held when they first came to the Desolate Regions with the Three Sects and Six Orders: they would always be neutral, only responsible for providing elixirs for all sects, without favoring any single side.
Perhaps it was because the Dan Ding Sect had never wavered in their beliefs for tens of thousands of years, regardless of whether the other sects among the Three Sects and Six Orders were weak or strong, that everyone could now sit down peacefully with Dandingzi’s presence.
After stating his position, Dandingzi closed his eyes to rest and did not say another word, making it clear through his attitude that he was not involved in any way.
“Daoist friend Yu Zhenzi, do you know who was responsible for Daoist friend Chenyangzi’s death?”
As soon as Yu Zhenzi heard this question, he shook his head, about to explain. However, someone else immediately interrupted him.
“In that case, Chenyangzi’s mysterious death must conceal some extraordinary secrets.
Daoist friend Yu Zhenzi, why don’t you temporarily let go of your grievances and investigate the cause of Chenyangzi’s fall together with us? After all, this is a matter of great importance to the safety of us, the Three Sects and Six Orders.
I think Daoist friend Yu Zhenzi should also realize that no one present here probably has the ability to wield such a strange power. Otherwise, why would you have entangled in battle with Chenyangzi for a hundred years?
I know that what I am requesting might be somewhat unreasonable, but until the truth behind Chenyangzi’s death is uncovered, any one of us could potentially become the next Chenyangzi, so we have to guard against it.”
As soon as Heavenly Array Sect Master Kong Lingzi finished speaking, the whole meeting place fell silent. Although what he said seemed urgent, it was all actually just empty talk.
This was merely an excuse for the other sects to make Hua Tian Sect temporarily give up on swallowing the Upper Green Sect.
Other than the Dan Ding Sect, which truly remained neutral, no one wished for Hua Tian Sect to swallow the Upper Green Sect and become the hegemon of their alliance.
Of course, Yu Zhenzi was also aware of their true intentions. But since they were willing to sit down at this table, they must have been somewhat wary.
How strong the Nascent Soul Masters were in battle, including themselves, they were also well aware. Even if the other sects teamed up, they still did not possess absolute confidence in defeating both him and the Refining Equipment Peak Elder without sustaining severe losses.
Since they all carried Top-Grade Spiritual Tools, a life-and-death struggle would most likely result in casualties on both sides. Even if the two Nascent Soul cultivators from Hua Tian Sect perished in the end, some of the seven Nascent Soul True Monarchs would also probably die.
Thus, naturally, none of them wanted to be the unlucky one. If one of them died, their sect would lose any say, just like the next Upper Green Sect.
At this moment, Yu Zhenzi did not want to forcefully swallow the Upper Green Sect either when faced with the alliance of the other sects. Otherwise, if he pushed too far, things might backfire instead.
“Daoist friend Kong Lingzi is right. The silent fall of Daoist friend Chenyangzi does indeed need to be thoroughly investigated, otherwise, we will all be uneasy in our hearts.”
Hearing this, the other sect masters couldn’t help but rejoice. As long as Hua Tian Sect was willing to compromise, things would be much easier to deal with. However, why was Yu Zhenzi so amenable?
The next moment, Yu Zhenzi’s tone changed, “However, the Upper Green Sect has become our sworn enemy, and we cannot possibly allow them to continue existing at this moment..”
