Chapter 3559: Cleaning Up the Spies

A majestic divine hall hovered mid-air in the depths of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, shining with divine light and filling the surroundings with an invisible pressure.

The divine hall was a high quality god artifact. It represented the centre of authority in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. Many matters that could change the fate and development of the sect were decided here.

At this moment, five figures sat around a round table within the divine hall. One of them was the greatest expert of the mix-blooded branch, elder Dao!

The four others were the representatives of the other branches of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.

At this moment, the most important decision-makers from the five branches of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants had all gathered together.

When their Immortal Exalt ancestors were out, the five of them could represent the entire sect.

However, apart from elder Dao who was present in person, the four others were illusionary. They had only sent a soul clone.

As he gazed at the four soul clones, there was undisguised fury and resentment on elder Dao’s face. He had come in person, while the four others had only sent a wisp of their souls. That was clearly looking down on him, even refusing to show him the most basic level of respect.

“Dao Wuxue, for exactly what important matter did you gather us in such a hurry? I’m currently at a critical junction of comprehension. I might find the pathway to Immortal Exalt at any moment and reach a higher realm. If there’s nothing important, please don’t interrupt me,” said one of them. She was a middle-aged woman. Her appearance was nothing special, but her tone clearly showed that she was quite displeased.

Her name was Xiang Zhiru, one of the three Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.

“Our time is very precious. Dao Wuxue, if you have something to say, make it quick. Once you’re done, we still have to comprehend the mysteries of the way.” This time, it was a young man who seemed to be in his twenties. He gave off a sense of masculinity and handsomeness. His deep eyes possessed an enchanting colour, such that making eye contact with him was enough to leave people entranced.

He was called Xiang Bai, a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor as well.

Those in charge of the two other branches said nothing. They sat there and looked at elder Dao quietly.

Elder Gao glanced past the four of them slowly and sharply. He said sternly, “Xiang Shi is in danger. He’s been trapped by a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor Immortal Devouring Orchid in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. I want your branches to send experts to rescue Xiang Shi.”

“It’s just a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor Immortal Devouring Orchid. The strength of your branch is more than enough to deal with it. You don’t need us to take action,” Xiang Zhiru said indifferently.

“You sure say that easily. The Immortal Devouring Orchid was left behind by the Star Clustered Ancestor after all. After so many years of consolidation, its strength must be extremely terrifying. Otherwise, Xiang Shi would not have been captured so easily otherwise. Moreover, even if Xiang Shi’s bloodline is impure, he’s still a great elder of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. He possesses significant status. Now that a great elder of our sect has been captured by the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, it’s the entire sect that’s embarrassed.” Elder Dao’s face was ugly.

“Since someone from your mix-blooded branch has embarrassed the sect, you have even more responsibility for redeeming our pride,” Xiang Bai said emotionlessly. He did not want to get involved in the matters of the mix-blooded clan.

Elder Dao slammed the table and stood up. His gaze became extremely frightening. “You all just want to stay out of this business? Alright, alright, alright. If that’s the case, I’ll personally lead everyone from my branch on an onslaught against the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. I won’t spare any disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, regardless of their strength. I’ll butcher all the auxiliaries in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens as well.”

“I can guarantee to you all here that I might not be able to kill the Immortal Devouring Orchid, but I’m confident enough about bringing annihilation to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. I can leave them in ruins with corpses strewn about.”

With that, the expressions of the four others immediately changed drastically.

“Dao Wuxue, are you mad? Do you know what kind of consequences that’ll lead to? If you really do that, you won’t survive either.”

“Dao Wuxue, it’s not like you don’t know how special the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens is. If you provoke senior Samsaric like this, you’ll end up suffering a very miserable fate. No one will be able to protect you.”

“Elder Dao, calm down. You can’t be so rash.”

The others were unable to remain calm, all speaking up to persuade him otherwise. They were afraid that Dao Wuxue would do something irrational.

“Hahahaha, even if I die in the end, so what? Since you want to be so heartless, turning a blind eye to those in trouble, then you better not blame me for being vicious too. Once I destroy the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens as a great elder of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, your branches can forget about getting away unscathed. Even if I end up in the depths of hell, I’ll be dragging the lot of you down with me.” Dao Wuxue laughed aloud like he was mad. He gave off the valiant spirit that he was willing to abandon everything and embrace death.

The other decision-makers were frightened. Their faces all changed drastically as they became extremely uneasy.

If Dao Wuxue really did that, then let alone them, even the entire sect would be affected. Even their paramount ancestors probably would not have any good fates waiting for them.

Destroying the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was defying the will of a Grand Exalt.

Apart from other Grand Exalts, no one could endure the wrath of a Grand Exalt.

“Dao Wuxue, we will send experts to rescue Xiang Shi and destroy the Immortal Devouring Orchid in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. You better not act rashly.”

“However, we’ll only go after the Immortal Devouring Orchid. We still can’t touch the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. At the very least, it can’t be us who does it.”

......

…

Not only had the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens grown by several dozen times in terms of territory, even their disciples had increased. At a first glance, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was no longer so gloomy anymore. It was brimming with life everywhere, giving off a sense of vitality and activity.

At this moment, Jian Chen sat casually in the sect master’s throne within the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens on the main peak. Chen Shifang and Nong Fugui stood beneath him to his left and right.

A Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal core disciples knelt in the centre of the hall.

“Zhou Xiulan, answer honestly. Who exactly sent you?” Elder Nong stared at the core disciple kneeling below emotionlessly.

The disciple called Zhou Xiulan was perplexed. “Elder Nong, I’m confused. I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Hmph, you still want to lie your way out of this? Zhou Xiulan, you thought you hid it very well, but little did you know that I sensed it perfectly every time you conveyed messages to the outside world. The method you used was wondrous, but I have lived for almost four million years after all, so what haven’t I seen? Did you really think you could fool me?” Elder Nong growled, but he was secretly shocked. He had never thought that the disciple right before him, Zhou Xiulan, was a spy sent in by an external organisation or someone bought out. After all, he had always been loyal to the sect.

“I’m innocent, elder Nong.”

Elder Nong tossed out a memory crystal and said, “This is a recording of the most recent time you sent a message. Take a look at it yourself and tell me if you’re still innocent.”

Inside the recording, the disciple called Zhou Xiulan sat in his dwelling and formed seals with both hands. He seemed like he was practising some kind of secret technique, but in reality, it was an extremely wondrous communication method.

“You better not say you’re cultivating. I’ve lived for so long. I can still recognise what you’re doing.” Elder Nong shut down all of the excuses that Zhou Xiulan had prepared beforehand in a single sentence.

Zhou Xiulan’s face immediately became extremely ugly.

Chen Shifang arrived before Zhou Xiulan and smiled strangely. “Tell me, who is the person or organisation behind you? Answer honestly, or you’ll have to taste the pain of having your soul refined.” He opened his hand, and a ball of golden flames leapt around happily.
