344: The Wuji Emperor Sect is in an uproar

Nan Zongwang did not directly kill Steve Yifen Zhong and the others; he merely crippled their Dantian.

Thus, the life soul lamps of the four of them only dimmed to near-nothingness, but they did not shatter.

However, whether their four soul lamps shattered was no longer important, as the soul lamps of nearly thirty thousand other Immortal Emperor powerhouses shattered one after another, the crashing sound of shattering soul lamps was enough to stun the Disciples on duty in the entire Soul Lamp Hall.

After the shock, the Disciples on duty began to tremble.

This was the rhythm of something big happening.

"Quick, report this matter immediately to the Wuji Imperial Palace!"

A Disciple on duty couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

For a time, the other Disciples on duty all changed their expressions slightly, but they no longer dared to delay in the slightest, quickly reporting the news to the Wuji Imperial Palace.

Subsequently, the Wuji Imperial Palace erupted into an uproar.

The ten Vice Sect Leaders and ten Grand Elders gathered.

Wuji Long, sitting on the Sect Master's seat, had a face so grim it looked like water could drip from it, showing the anger in his heart at this moment.

"Three Grand Elder Special Forces teams were almost completely wiped out. Everyone, tell me, what exactly happened? And what should we do?"

"This is definitely an ambush orchestrated by the Great Forest Immortal Sect against us, Sect Master. It seems it's time to settle things with the Great Forest Immortal Sect!"

"That's right! It's time to launch an all-out war between us and the Great Forest Immortal Sect!"

"But our intelligence department did not monitor any large number of Peak forces leaving the Twelfth Heaven from the Great Forest Immortal Sect. Could it be that Steve Yifen Zhong and the others provoked people from other Sect forces?"

"Not the Great Forest Immortal Sect? How is that possible? This Revered Master doesn't believe it!"

"This Revered Master doesn't believe it either!"

"..."

"Hmph, no matter what other Sect forces they provoked, wiping out three Grand Elder Special Forces teams of our Wuji Emperor Sect has already forged a death feud with our Wuji Emperor Sect! The revenge for thirty thousand Grand Elders, we cannot fail to exact!"

"What exactly went wrong in Steve City? I suspect that the one who attacked our Wuji Emperor Sect this time might truly not be the Great Forest Immortal Sect, but rather the Sect force behind that young Immortal Emperor!"

"...Indeed, that's possible. I wonder what the background of that young Immortal Emperor, whom Stetson reported earlier, truly is?"

"My father's soul lamp has not yet extinguished, and the soul lamps of the other three Grand Elders, Steve Mai, Steve Ba, and Steve Ou, have also not extinguished. Steve City is the root of our Wuji Emperor Sect's rise; Steve City must not be lost!"

Steve One-Penny stated his position.

His attitude was very clear: his father and the other three Grand Elders were not dead yet, and the Sect could not fail to save them!

"Sect Master, send a large army over. This old man will make the trip personally!"

Immediately after Steve One-Penny, Di Tianqiu also spoke, directly suggesting to dispatch an army.

They were Revered Master and Disciple. When the Disciple's father was in mortal danger, as his Revered Master, he naturally couldn't stand by.

Especially since Di Tianqiu also felt that this matter was somewhat strange. The three Grand Elder Special Forces teams that Steve Yifen Zhong led happened to be forces from their side.

Could it be that Wuji Long, that fellow, was trying to weaken his faction's power by setting up this scheme?!

They say that wherever there are people, there is Jianghu.

The Wuji Emperor Sect was not a monolithic entity either.

The Wuji faction was the strongest, led by Sect Master Wuji Long.

Next was the Steve faction, led by him, the Grand Elder.

Third was his Di direct lineage, also led by him, the Grand Elder.

The Steve faction and the Di direct lineage combined were enough to balance the Wuji faction.

Especially his Disciple, Steve One-Penny, who was extremely outstanding, possessing the Nine Yang Divine Body, and also having cultivated the Sun Rule, one of the eighty-one Supreme Rules. He was the most popular candidate for the next Sect Master of the Wuji Emperor Sect.

Wuji Long's lifespan was not far off. He would either go to the Godslaying Road to brave life and death trials, or he would fall and enter Reincarnation. And precisely at this time, their Steve faction encountered such a major incident.

How could this not make Di Tianqiu overthink?

While overthinking, Di Tianqiu couldn't help but cast a deep glance at the effeminate Wu Ji Zheng.

If all of this was a scheme by Wuji Long, intending to weaken Di Tianqiu's influence in the Wuji Emperor Sect.

Then, Wuji Long's true purpose in doing so was undoubtedly to promote his junior to a higher position!

The Nine Yin Divine Body cultivator cultivates the Nine Yin Rule.

If it were a woman, Dual Cultivation with his Disciple, Steve One-Penny, would undoubtedly be the best.

Unfortunately, Wu Ji Zheng was a man!

Both of them were Vice Sect Leaders and popular candidates for the next Sect Master of the Wuji Emperor Sect. One yin and one yang, same-sex repulsion, they were practically natural adversaries.

"Alright, Grand Elder, feel free to mobilize whatever forces you wish!"

In contrast, Wuji Long did not think as complexly as Di Tianqiu.

He knew that with Steve One-Penny's father in trouble, Di Tianqiu and the others would surely make a fuss. Since they wanted to make a fuss, let them. Just don't suspect him of doing it, and don't let internal discord arise within the Wuji Emperor Sect.

As his lifespan approached its limit, he increasingly felt the burgeoning ambitions of Di Tianqiu and the others.

Originally, with the two great divine bodies of Taiyin and Sun, and the two great Supreme Rules in the hands of the Wuji Emperor Sect, it could have pushed the Wuji Emperor Sect to a higher position.

However, internal power struggles began, making Wuji Long even lose interest in unifying the Twelfth Heaven.

What was the point of unifying it?

With his lifespan nearing its end, after his demise, wouldn't everything still belong to Di Tianqiu and the others?

The problem he should consider now was not how to unify the Twelfth Heaven, but how to preserve the Wuji faction, and even the interests of the Wuji faction, after his demise.

It could be said that Di Tianqiu's suspicion of him was not without reason; he had indeed thought of weakening Di Tianqiu's power, but he ultimately did not do so.

If he were to truly do so, he might as well part ways amicably with Di Tianqiu, let the Wuji faction separate from the Wuji Emperor Sect, and then go elsewhere to establish a pure Wuji faction Sect force... "Alright, since the Sect Master has also agreed, then the ten Grand Elders, plus the remaining seven Grand Elder Special Forces teams, will all accompany this Revered Master to Steve City!"

"Revered Master, bring the Tian Division Army, I'm going too!"

"..."
