Chapter 1620: Chapters 1568-1569: What Can a True Immortal Do to Me?

Myriad Laws Wan, Yi Shengsan, these two powerhouses who both hail from the Shenxiao Lineage, locked gazes in silence without a word. However, in just an instant, their mute standoff quietened down the other formidable members of the Shenxiao Sect’s garrison.

The conflict between these two was well-known to all; other sect powerhouses might not understand, but which of the Shenxiao Sect’s powerhouses didn’t know that these two brothers were like water and fire, utterly incompatible due to their differing cultivation paths?

Their union for a common interest this time had already been eye-opening for the other Supreme Strongs, but if it were to be said that in the process of their cooperation, they had some disagreements leading to misunderstandings and fights, no one would be surprised; instead, it would seem inevitable.

Therefore, even within the garrison, these two were conversing from a distance, and although the other Shenxiao Sect powerhouses were chatting and catching up far away, their focus was always on these two, fearing that they might suddenly come to blows over a disagreement.

Initially engaged in lively and joyful conversation and boasting amongst themselves, the Shenxiao Sect’s encampment suddenly quieted down when many powerhouses observing Myriad Laws Wan and the other noticed that their words to each other were becoming sharp, seemingly on the brink of collapse.

This startled the onlookers; given the current situation, if these two truly fell out, it meant that their plan would completely collapse, with no chance of continuing.

Thus, upon witnessing this scene, several onlookers’ expressions changed drastically. They exchanged looks and silently signaled each other, and eventually selected a few among them to approach the two, attempting to mediate.

“Enough, no need to come over. There’s no problem between Senior Brother Yi and me. We’re just discussing some matters!” Myriad Laws Wan’s previously stern face suddenly shifted to a smile.

He waved his hand, indicating to those approaching that they need not worry, and told them that he and Yi Shengsan were simply discussing some issues, with no conflict arising.

“Right, it’s about differences in perception regarding some plans. Do you really think that Junior Brother Wan and I are those kinds of people who can’t discern priorities and disregard the bigger picture?” Yi Shengsan also chuckled lightly, smiling as he posed this rhetorical question to the others.

“…”

Hearing this, the approaching few halted, exchanged glances revealing bitterness and helplessness yet nodded and silently retreated without a word.

There was nothing they could do; both were elder brothers and big shots – they approached to mediate reluctantly, driven only by their consideration for the big picture. Had it not been for that reason, they probably wouldn’t even dare entertain the thought of stepping forward to reconcile the matter.

These two seniors usually had good tempers, but when it came to clashes with each other, neither gave ground. Past conflicts within the sect had shown that even the words of some elders might not suffice, let alone them.

Now that the two seniors had stated there was no problem and no conflict would arise, whether it was true or not, the others had to believe it. The affairs of these important figures were beyond their control. If they say there’s no problem, that indicated that the two seniors knew the current situation and wouldn’t recklessly cause a conflict at such a critical moment.

After waiting for the few to leave, the many other brothers resumed their conversations, and the entire encampment regained its previous atmosphere, with Myriad Laws Wan and the other resuming their former topic of discussion.

“Indeed, I did have some influence in this matter, but ultimately, it’s still their own decision,” Myriad Laws Wan revealed some of his machinations.

Indeed, for powerhouses like Yu Yiyao, everything they do is guided by their own will, and no one can interfere; any attempt to do so would meet with resistance.

Especially since others might overlook Yu Yiyao’s power, Myriad Laws Wan would definitely not neglect such a presence.

Others might simply consider Yu Yiyao as a common Supreme Strong, but as someone who cultivated alongside the Taoist Monarch Ancestor and heard the Sect Leader speak of a handful of the Supreme Strong True Immortal Seeds in this world, he had heard the evaluations of these few about Yu Yiyao.

As a rival to Ancestral Master Pang Hong back in the day, neither Yu Yiyao nor Cangyang were considered weak by the Sect Leader, who believed that it was only due to their origins and the resources and fate they received that they didn’t instantly become Tao-Certifying True Immortals.

It wasn’t just the Sect Leader who held this view; even the Taoist Monarch recalled these two individuals, agreeing with the Sect Leader that for such powerhouses, it was only natural for Myriad Laws Wan to pay attention to them.

And indeed, not long after entering the Myriad Laws Realm trial, he received news that Cangyang had received the Seven Kills inheritance left by the Taoist Monarch Ancestor and was greatly wreaking havoc. Given such a situation, it went without saying that Yu Yiyao would not fail to meet expectations.

At the outset of pushing this plan forward, he began to subtly leverage some forces to guide the other’s actions; although direct guidance would inevitably trigger a stress response from them, it did not prevent him from using other means.

Compared to a mature, stable, and perceptive powerhouse like Yu Yiyao, Prince Jing, Zhu Zai Zhen was undoubtedly an excellent choice; by placing some clues before him, the latter would take the initiative on his own.
