Evan Chen was in the Forbidden Palace, teaching the maids some extraordinary skills, while the monks of the Brahma Sound Sect were also making their moves.
After seeking help from the Shining Moon Sect, they went to the two major sects closer to the Brahma Sound Sect, the "Flying Immortal Sect" and the "Taihao Immortal Clan," but received ambiguous responses and returned dejectedly.
At this moment, in the discussion hall of the Flying Immortal Sect.
Brian Yu, the sect leader of the Flying Immortal Sect, sat at the head, inquiring about the opinions of the elders.
"Sect Leader, our Flying Immortal Sect has always been on good terms with the Brahma Sound Sect. If we don't help them this time, we might face criticism from cultivators all over the world," said an elder.
The Flying Immortal Sect had already understood the situation.
What Brian Yu was troubled about now was the attitude of the Shining Moon Sect.
"Mr. Longchu, what do you think?"
After a moment of contemplation, Brian Yu turned his gaze to a middle-aged man with a mustache, fanning himself with a feather fan.
In every sect, there are usually one or several advisors who provide strategies for the sect leader when trouble arises.
Mr. Longchu fanned himself, bowed slowly, and confidently said, "Sect Leader, the person who occupied the Brahma Sound Sect has an unknown background but extraordinary cultivation. Now that he has established a new sect, it would be wise for us to send gifts and establish friendly relations rather than engage in conflict. This is the best strategy."
"Good, good, good."
Brian Yu was overjoyed and praised repeatedly.
Immediately, he ordered, "Elders, gather the experts in our sect immediately. Tomorrow, we will assist the Shining Moon Sect in eliminating the rebels and reclaiming the Brahma Sound Sect. Once the Shining Moon Sect takes over the territory, we will demand our share from Yuan Qingshan. He won't be able to refuse."
"???"
Mr. Longchu frowned deeply, "Sect Leader, did you mishear? I meant to establish friendly relations, not engage in conflict!"
"Hahaha, Mr. Longchu, you are the guiding light of our sect. Whenever we do the opposite of your advice, we always succeed. Once we divide the Brahma Sound Sect's territory, you will be credited with a major contribution," Brian Yu said happily.
The other elders laughed mockingly.
Mr. Longchu's face turned red with embarrassment, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.
Over the years, he had been unlucky. As the advisor of the Flying Immortal Sect, his strategies always backfired, and the outcomes were often the opposite of his predictions.
Despite this, the Flying Immortal Sect did not expel him but instead regarded him as a reverse guiding light for the sect's fortune.
This made the proud Mr. Longchu very uncomfortable and unhappy. He stayed in the sect thick-skinned, hoping to find an opportunity to prove his intelligence.
Otherwise, he would have defected to another sect long ago.
Now, a major event of sect destruction had finally occurred in the usually peaceful Islet Prefecture, and he knew this was his chance to turn things around.
Thus, Mr. Longchu found an elder from the Shining Moon Sect who had a penchant for young men and, at the cost of his dignity, managed to find out the true intentions of the Shining Moon Sect.
The elder said that tomorrow, the Shining Moon Sect would send generous gifts to establish friendly relations with the newly established True Immortal Sect; otherwise, there would be a risk of sect destruction.
Unexpectedly, Brian Yu, this fool, did not believe him.
Mr. Longchu was helpless and dared not reveal the source of his information. If these people knew he had traded his dignity for the information, wouldn't he be ridiculed even more…
"Sect Leader!" Growing more frustrated, Mr. Longchu stood up angrily, took out a jade bottle from his storage bag, and held it up, "This is the poison of the Black Water Sky Python. If the Sect Leader does not heed my advice, I will take this poison and die in front of you!"
Mr. Longchu's eyes were filled with tears.
He sighed inwardly, thinking how moving it was to advise with his life on the line. Once this was over, all the grievances and ridicule he had suffered over the years would be washed away.
"Mr. Longchu, there's no need for this. Our sect cannot lose you. Put the poison down quickly."
"Longchu, why are you so stubborn? Our sect cannot do without you, the guiding light. From tomorrow, I will double your salary and grant you ten maids. Are you satisfied?"
"Sir, the sect cannot do without you!"
Everyone was moved and tried to comfort him.
The sect's future fortune still depended on him!
"Sect Leader, if you do not agree to send generous gifts to establish friendly relations with the True Immortal Sect, I will die right in front of you!" Mr. Longchu was so moved by his own heroic act that he brought the poison to his lips.
"Sir, please don't get excited."
Brian Yu panicked and rushed forward to grab the poison. However, in his haste, he accidentally knocked over the bottle, and the poison poured into Mr. Longchu's mouth.
Five breaths later, Mr. Longchu died.
He died with his eyes open!
Brian Yu sighed lightly at the whims of fate and quickly moved on.
"Someone, drag him out and dispose of him."
"Yes, Sect Leader."
After throwing out Mr. Longchu's body, a disciple came to report:
"Sect Leader, Elders, the Shining Moon Sect is gathering a large brigade."
"Any other news?"
"None. The Shining Moon Sect is strictly preventing leaks. This disciple estimates that they intend to monopolize the Brahma Sound Sect's territory."
Brian Yu and the elders nodded at each other, looking as if everything was within their expectations.
"Transmit my order: immediately gather all disciples and elders at the Elemental Infant stage and above. Tomorrow, we will assist the Shining Moon Sect and divide the territory without fail."
"Yes."
Everyone was excited. The sect's territory hadn't expanded in thousands of years, and this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
…
At this moment, in the Taihao Immortal Clan.
"Stella, did you hear it right?" asked David Wu, the sect leader of the Taihao Sect.
"Scarlett said so, Sect Leader. Tomorrow, the ten great elders of the Shining Moon Sect will personally escort one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, numerous elixirs, and Immortal Fruits to congratulate the True Immortal Sect. Moreover, Scarlett said her master, Yuan Qingshan, intends to betroth her to the founder of the True Immortal Sect. In short, if we don't establish friendly relations, disaster will befall us."
Stella Lian said earnestly.
David Wu pondered for a moment and said, "It's fortunate that you have this channel to gather crucial information. Otherwise, if our sect prepared to go tomorrow, not only would we offend the Shining Moon Sect, but also that mysterious expert, plunging our sect into danger."
Stella asked puzzledly, "Sect Leader, is that person really so powerful that even the Shining Moon Sect is so wary?"
David Wu replied slowly, "Who knows? Anyway, following the Shining Moon Sect's actions won't go wrong. By the way, Stella, tomorrow you should dress up. Our sect will also betroth you to that mysterious expert. Additionally, whatever gifts the Shining Moon Sect sends, we will match them. You will take them over."
Stella was bewildered, "Sect Leader, how can this be? How can I compete with Scarlett for a Dao companion?"
David Wu glanced at Stella, disappointed, and said, "Silly girl, this is a great opportunity. If you don't seize it, do you expect it to fall into your lap? Besides, if he fancies both you and Scarlett, wouldn't that be even better? I know you and Scarlett are close sisters, and this will fulfill your dream of being together."
Hearing this, Stella blushed. Serving the same Dao companion with Scarlett felt so embarrassing.
"Then, I'll give it a try tomorrow."
Stella responded shyly.
"Yes, do your best! Stella, if you ever rise to prominence, don't forget the sect's nurturing grace."
