Chapter 1177: Let Them Come

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At the Hundred Flowers Lake of the Heavenly Note Sect, a white figure approached and landed in front of the pavilion.

Her gaze was respectful as she lowered her head, not daring to look directly at the figure in the pavilion.

She respectfully lowered her gaze and dared not look directly at the figure in the pavilion.

The figure in the red and white dress at the table made her feel immense pressure.

Her every move carried an unfathomable aura.

Her power had been even more terrifying lately.

“Greetings, Sect Master,” said Baizhi. “There’s news from the West.”

“Is it good news?” Hong Yuye put down the teacup and looked at Baizhi.

A mere glance was like a vast wave pressing down on her.

“Yes.” Baizhi heaved a sigh of relief.

If it had been bad news, who knew what might have happened?

Fortunately, people overseas did not disappoint her.

“Speak,” Hong Yuye said softly.

“The Desolate Sea Pearl is on its way here,” said Baizhi.

Hong Yuye’s eyes flickered. She seemed a little surprised.

“Really?” she asked.

“Yes. I don’t know the details, but it’s on its way here. I intended to get it directly, but I thought it would be seen as a big move and would alert our enemies. This information is strictly confidential, and I didn’t want anyone to pry,” said Baizhi. “The only thing to be done is to distract the others and divert their attention elsewhere. The Great Thousand God Sect is already our enemy because of the mental barrier. I thought about it for a long time and realized that cooperation with them is not the way to go. They are insatiable. I obtained one of the talismans that was used to break the mental barrier. I intend to use that as a bargaining chip. Unless they want to completely break ties with us, there is a possibility to ease this tension. We have an excuse now to make a move. Afterward, we’ll dispatch the Branch Masters to hunt down the members of the Great Thousand God Sect. But if this goes on, we’ll have a large-scale conflict with the Great Thousand God Sect. We will have to work hard to deal with the aftermath.”

There were some decisions that Baizhi did not dare to make. Logically, there was no need to do so.

However, the Sect Master clearly cared a lot about this matter.

If they allowed the other party to return just like that, who knew what else might happen?

The Heavenly Note Sect had too many enemies already.

Once they noticed something, they would definitely make a big fuss.

The best course of action was to attract attention and make a strategic retreat. The price would be a complete break with the Great Thousand God Sect.

Previously, it was related to Feng Hua and Hu Yuexin only. Although the problem with the mental barrier was significant, it was ultimately a matter of talismans, with room for negotiation.

But with the broken mental barrier and a large-scale pursuit, it would not be easy.

However, it was basically impossible to find someone to blame. No one could fill that position.

To rashly select someone would be like digging a grave for oneself.

“Go ahead.” Hong Yuye looked at the person in front of her.

“What about the Great Thousand God Sect?” Baizhi asked.

“Let them come,” Hong Yuye said coldly.

Baizhi was overjoyed.

She had never doubted the Sect Master’s leadership.

“By the way, there have been some strange occurrences in the South recently, with some long-sealed things constantly emerging,” Baizhi said in puzzlement.

“Don’t think too much about it. The South is going to be in chaos soon,” Hong Yuye said.

Baizhi was surprised.

If the North was in chaos, would it affect the South too?

She did not think too much about it. She had to deal with the current situation first.

After that, Baizhi left the Hundred Flowers Lake.

She immediately gathered the other Branch Masters and announced the follow-up plan.

However, openly antagonizing the Great Thousand God Sect made some of the others worried.

“Elder Baizhi, won’t the Great Thousand God Sect attack us if we openly provoke them like this? With our current strength, it might be very difficult for us to fight them,” Ku Wu Chang said softly.

Others also shared the same concerns.

Baizhi looked at everyone. Her thoughts were inscrutable. “Let them come.”

…

Overseas, under the clear sky, a breeze blew gently.

Jiang Hao walked on the surface of the sea. When he raised his head, he saw a divine soul flying high in the sky, followed by a group of people from the Great Thousand God Sect.

“Brother Li, you’re quite good at running.” He sighed.

The one he was speaking to was not in the sky but beside him.

Since Li Qi was the one Jiang Hao was familiar with, he treated every other divine soul was him.

The Holy Master did not mind. Names meant nothing to him.

“Why don’t you go up and help?” the Holy Master asked.

“Brother Li, you’re already so amazing. Wouldn’t I just be getting in your way if I go up?” Jiang Hao asked with a chuckle.

The Holy Master looked at Jiang Hao and smiled. “Since you know how amazing I am, why do you find me and pester me? Let’s go our own way. We won’t even interfere with each other from here on out.”

“Brother Li, you’re wrong.” Jiang Hao opened his folded fan. “No matter how big a conflict between brothers, they never part ways. So, how can we?”

The Holy Master laughed.

Jiang Hao heaved a sigh of relief when the Great Thousand God Sect fell into chaos. It seemed that his sect would be stable for a while.

After returning, he could still live his normal life.

Everything else could wait.

He just did not know what Hu Yuexin and the others would choose.

Jiang Hao did not think too much about it.

He had done everything he could, so he would just let it be.

They walked for another two days.

Jiang Hao saw a huge mountain. There was a mark on the mountain.

He frowned.

After studying the nameless manual for decades, he had a certain understanding of spiritual energy and mysterious forces.

This mountain emitted a dragon’s energy.

“Black Dragon,” The Holy Master said. “There’s a Black Dragon’s aura there.”

“Black Dragon?” Jiang Hao was curious.

“The Heavenly Spirit Tribe and the Heavenly Saint Sect are both races blessed by the heavens. There’s bound to be friction between the two sides. The True Dragon Clan is similar to the Black Dragon Clan. They are both dragons, so there must be some competition between them. This competition is much fiercer than the one between the Heavenly Spirit Tribe and the Heavenly Saint Sect,” said the Holy Master. “In my era, the Black Dragon was defeated by the True Dragon Clan.”

“Why were they fighting?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.

The Heavenly Saint Sect and the Heavenly Spirit Tribe did not share the same ideals.

One of them felt that they were holier and mightier than the other one. The other one believed that everyone else had to bow to them.

Hence, they fought constantly.

“Many reasons,” said the Holy Master. “Maybe they fight to prove who between them might be considered a real dragon.”

Jiang Hao sighed. ‘Just that?’

There was indeed a huge difference between races and individuals.

“Actually, there’s another possibility,” said the Holy Master. “Black Dragons like to devour dragon veins to grow.”

That sounded like a big problem. Jiang Hao was surprised.

However, he did not think too much about it.

Since they were dragons from the ancient ages, they might know about the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl.

It was truly unexpected to find a mine where dragons could devour things and grow.

It was truly an incredible discovery.

“Let’s go in and take a look,” Jiang Hao said with a smile.

The Holy Master could only follow along.

…

At that moment, Zuo Daoming and his group entered several checkpoints and were heading deeper.

The deeper they went inside the mine, the denser the dragon’s energy became.

“There might be an inheritance here. Such a dense dragon’s aura might help Senior Brother Zuo perfect his body and escape death,” said a woman.

Zuo Daoming also thought so.

They had been looking for things related to the True Dragon for a long time. They had traveled from the eastern region to overseas in search of it.

He had finally found it.

If everything went well, he would be able to escape the shackles of fate.

At that moment, they stopped in front of a pitch-black door.

There was a figure of True Dragon engraved on it.

“This must be the final door,” Zuo Daoming said.
