30: The internal war within the Tianyang Sect is brought forward.

After Chu Tianyang learned the news, he immediately sent for Jiang Ye and the others to be brought to his side and urgently summoned the important figures of his faction for a discussion. The unavoidable future war might now break out ahead of schedule.

Inside the Council Chamber

Chu Tianyang said, "It seems this great war is going to happen sooner than expected. What are everyone's thoughts?"

Chen Pan said, "The key now likely lies with this child, Jiang Ye. His Realm and combat power can take on one person at the Earth Profound Realm."

"This child's background is certainly not small. I have observed his body; if he didn't have some kind of ultimate Body Refining treasure, his body would not have Cultivated to such a level."

Chen Pan added, "His Realm is definitely the Earth Profound Realm, though it's still unclear exactly which stage he is at."

Everyone sighed in amazement. "Hehe! A mere thirteen-year-old child has actually reached the Earth Profound Realm!"

At that moment, a Disciple rushed in and said nervously, "Sect Master! This is bad! Those people have stormed the dungeon and taken Shen Sheng away."

"It seems they are also prepared for war. Where are they now?"

"Over at the Forbidden Hall. They should have regrouped with the old Sect Master's faction," the Disciple replied.

"Fine! Then let us fight! Notify those three children to come here; we will charge in together."

On the other side

When Jiang Ye's trio learned that war was about to break out, they were exceptionally excited. Shi Bao laughed loudly, "Hahaha! I didn't expect that on our first day joining the Sect, we'd be in a major battle."

Jiang Ye said, "You guys stay low! Don't look for opponents who are too strong. I'm going to find a strong one to go all out against to stimulate my potential; otherwise, it will be hard for me to Breakthrough to the next Realm."

"Right! If you don't get stronger, we'll all die with you. Don't worry, we'll be careful!"

Chen Feng came over again and said, "Let's go! We're heading to the Forbidden Hall to wipe out their key figures directly."

"Kill them! Hahahaha!" Shi Bao laughed loudly. Jiang Ye noticed that he was becoming increasingly bellicose.

A moment later

Chu Tianyang led his people to the residence of the previous Sect Master, Murong Jingtian. The core figures of that faction were also mostly present.

Murong Jingtian said, "Chu Tianyang, what is the meaning of this?"

"You old dog! For the murder of my son, I shall make you pay today!"

"Your son was assassinated by who knows who. You're pinning the blame on my head without any evidence? I even passed the position of Sect Master to you; how else do you want me to prove my innocence?"

"Hahahaha! Passing the position to me? That was because no one in your generation could command public respect, so you thought to push me forward as a Puppet to control me. Seeing that my son was so much stronger than the successors of your next generation, you found someone to assassinate him. If I do not avenge this, I am no father!"

Hearing these words, Jiang Ye recalled the scene where his grandfather was truly prepared to risk his life to protect him and his father. Suddenly, his impression of Chu Tianyang improved significantly.

Jiang Ye held a long saber in his hand and observed Murong Jingtian. His Realm should be several stages higher than his own, estimated to be around the eighth stage of the Earth Profound Realm.

Murong Jingtian said, "Since you insist on believing I killed your son, there is nothing I can do. Once this battle begins today, the Tianyang Sect will suffer heavy losses and could be annexed by other Sects at any time. Have you thought about the consequences?"

"Just do it! Too much nonsense!" Jiang Ye suddenly lunged forward, slashing directly at Murong Jingtian.

"Hmm?" Murong Jingtian was startled and drew his sword. Clang! He blocked Jiang Ye's strike. "Brat! Who are you?"

"I'm your grandfather! Sect Master, leave him to me for a while. I'll leave his life for you!"
