Chapter 346 - The One Who Dared to Challenge the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect
Yi Zhen suppressed his killing intent forcefully, raised the jade slip in his hand and said solemnly, “I have just been informed that none of the 36 Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect disciples I sent to the Sunset Immortal Protectorate have survived. The cultivators in the Sunset Immortal Protectorate are weaklings who just ascended. Two of the disciples were Great Unity Immortals. Therefore, they must have been killed by Jing Luowen…”
A man with a black beard in linen clothes stood up, cupped his fists and said, “Sect Master Yi, I know Sect Master Jing well. I think that an investigation is needed before we conclude that Sect Master Jing stole the light from providence in the Newborn Immortal Protectorate. May I know when your disciples tried to hunt Sect Master Jing?”
Although Yi Zhen’s face was terribly saturnine, he could not avoid the question. He would have asked his supporters to speak up for him if someone else had questioned him. However, this person was not an ordinary cultivator. He was the sect master of the Limitless Sword Dao Sect, Lu Xikun, who was a late-stage Immortal King expert more powerful than Yi Zhen.
Although the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect led the Immortal World and Yi Zhen’s words could receive a lot of support from top-notch sects, Yi Zhen was well-aware that he could not influence Lu Xikun. The Limitless Sword Dao Sect was also one of the top sects in the Immortal World, so it was more powerful than the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect in terms of strength. They did not impress others with their exaggerated words, but with the long swords in their hands.
Many sect masters looked at Yi Zhen when Lu Xikun stood up.
Even though the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect had a huge influence, a big reason why they were so impactful was due to the influence left behind by the Immortal Emperor of the Radiant Fortune.
There was not an Immortal Emperor in the Immortal World anymore, and the Limitless Sword Dao Sect was considered a massive top-notch sect there. To add insult to injury, the question posed by Lu Xikun was a common question among the cultivators, so Yi Zhen had no choice but to answer it.
Yi Zhen nodded. “I would have answered this question even if Sect Master Lu had not asked. I have been searching for a way out for the Newborn Immortal Protectorate during all these years. However, I did not find any clues until three years ago…”
Everyone held their breath to listen to Yi Zhen when they heard him say that he had found a clue to the way out.
Indeed, many sect masters pulled a long face after hearing Lu Xikun’s words.
Frankly speaking, the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect merely helped safekeep the array flag. However, it members could not do whatever they wanted with it, even though they did not allow anyone else to use it.
When Lu Xikun finished his words, he spoke to the sect masters with cupped fists before the sulky Yi Zhen could reply. “Sect masters and daoists, my Limitless Sword Dao Sect does not intend to participate in this hypocritical meeting. If the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect had not started a war in the first place, there would not even have been so many killings in the Sunset Immortal Protectorate. I only found out afterward that the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect did this to reduce the number of cultivators in the Newborn Immortal Protectorate. How many people from their sect died? The Limitless Sword Dao Sect does not appreciate this. If the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect intends to do the same thing once again, the Limitless Sword Dao Sect will take its leave.”
“Lu Xikun, you must have a death wish…” Yi Zhen could not hold back his murderous intent, no matter how shrewd or sneaky he was. He grabbed an array flag before the killing array was activated instantly and the entire hall was overwhelmed by enraged killing intent.
The sect masters in the hall were panic-stricken as they all took out a Dharma treasure.
Sect Master Tan Mo from the Ultimate Essence Immortal Manor was the first to stand by Lu Xikun’s side. “The Ultimate Essence Immortal Manor will stick with Sect Master Lu through thick and thin.”
“The Vast Array Immortal Sect is willing to support Sect Master Lu…”
“The Nanping Immortal Palace…”
Within a short time, at least half of the sect masters and the representatives of various powers stood next to Lu Xikun.
How many of the people who had survived to this day were morons?
Many people suspected what would happen when the sunset befell the Immortal World, even though Lu Xikun had not mentioned it. The point was that the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect was the only sect that had not experienced any casualties ever since the Immortal World had faltered.
The most suspicious thing was that Yi Zhen was trying to put the blame on Jing Luowen, even though Lu Xikun had seen him launch a sneak attack on Jing Luolin. Many people were aware of Jing Luowen’s character, so few of them actually believed that Jing Luowen would expropriate the light from providence.
The crowd was frustrated with Yi Zhen’s decision to prohibit Lu Xikun from entering the Sunset Immortal Protectorate, whereas the disciples of the Radiant Fortune Sect could travel in and out of the Newborn Immortal Sect freely.
