Chapter 1829: Probe (1)
When Huang Yueli heard that, her brows raised as she spoke out in surprise, “Those Leng guys actually have the guts to come to Blue Profound Sect? And even to ask for an explanation? Aren’t their guts a little too fat? Or are they tired of living?”
Leng family’s status in Soaring Heavens Continent was only considered as a third rate powerhouse and totally unable to fight against the Number One Sacred Lands. Li Moying didn’t bother to go find trouble with them and was already considered as being magnanimous but they actually came looking for him themselves?
Wasn’t this a little overestimating their own ability?
Cang Po Hun saw her puzzlement as he revealed a bitter smile and explained, “Grandmaster Huang, things aren’t like what you think. Although that Leng family’s clan leader doesn’t have much ability but he’s not so dumb to that extend. Today he’s not here alone, Seven Stars Palace and Cloud Ocean Sect have also sent their Elders along, to stand up for him…..”
“What? Seven Stars Palace and Cloud Ocean Sect have also sent their men here? Why do they want to wade in the muddled waters? Aren’t they afraid of bringing trouble to themselves by being nosy?” Huang Yueli’s slender brows creased slightly.
Seven Stars Palace and Cloud Ocean Sect were one of the Seven Sacred Lands and in this kind of large powerhouse, each Elder had at least ninth stage realm eight level cultivation. Sending out such top exponents, just to stand out for a small clan’s so called Elder?
That Leng Fugui, was merely at ninth stage realm fourth level cultivation, and was really not considered as some important character.
According to logic, the Seven Sacred Lands were all high and mighty and seldom bothered about those small powerhouses’ grudges. There was no news of Leng family having some strong backing behind them as well, so they were merely living on as some Top Ten Clans.
What ability did they have, to make two of the Seven Sacred Lands stand up for them?
Moreover speaking, even if it was the Seven Sacred Lands, none of them would dare to come make trouble for Blue Profound Sect over such a small matter!
Cang Po Hun met with Huang Yueli’s puzzled line of sight as he helplessly explained, “Grandmaster Huang, that’s something that you’re not aware of. It’s no longer the same now as it was sixteen years ago…..”
Huang Yueli was stunned, “What do you mean?”
“Ever since you self-exploded in the Northern Ice Fields that year, after Sovereign killed those culprits, he announced that he went into closed door cultivation but actually you know the truth which was he had already entered the wheel of reincarnation.”
“From the start, Sovereign’s prestige was still resounding and although he wasn’t around physically, there weren’t many powerhouses who dared to offend Blue Profound Sect but as the years went by, Sovereign didn’t emerge from his closed door cultivation so Sky Emperor City started to come out with various sort of rumours saying Sovereign’s plan to advance failed and he had died from Qi Deviation! Whereas no pract.i.tioner in Blue Profound Sect had enough standing and ability to replace him therefore we did not dare to reveal the news of his death.”
“Hence some powerhouses sent their men to create havoc, trying to probe to ascertain Sovereign’s current situation. In the recent years, there had been many cases of our disciples who met with attacks while undergoing experience learning outside, and including your incident, as it was a little too sudden, the other Sect’s Elders all came looking for us to get an explanation.”
Huang Yueli was in deep thoughts as she nodded, “So it’s like this…..”
Soaring Heavens Continent’s resources were limited and there were bound to be conflicts when various large powerhouses’ disciples were out on experience learning or if they went out on missions.
That year when Mu Chengying’s performance was at its peak, it awed the Four Sky Regions and no one dared to pull his whiskers, which in turn made others not dare to offend Blue Profound Sect’s disciples. They were either ruling as a despot or behaving unscrupulously.
But men were easily forgetful. After Mu Chengying went into closed door cultivation for a long period of time, many of them forgot his overpowering stance that year.
Some large powerhouses which had once been regulated under Mu Chengying were all fearful of his ability, not daring to act recklessly.
