After experiencing the shock brought about by the two ancestors of the Tan Xi Sect, not mentioning the effects that it had on the structure of the cultivation world of the entire Yuzhou, everyone was even more curious about the last seat on the right of the Head of the Guards.
Daoist Jiu, who was sitting in the middle, smiled, attracting everyoneâs attention to himself. He then said, âI think you are all wondering why this sect is setting a seat here. Then, little friend Zhuge, please come out and meet with you!â
Zhuge? A member of the Zhuge family?
Everyone immediately guessed the identity of this person, but this only made them more and more suspicious. Could it be that the famous Zhuge family, which had been hanging on by a thread ever since the establishment of the âInfernal domain blood capitalâ, also had a Daofather?
If it was really like this, then the impact it had on the cultivation world of Yuzhou was much greater than the two Dao Patriarchs of the Tan Xi Sect!
However, just as everyone turned to look at the seat to the right, the spatial undulations they had been expecting did not appear. Instead, footsteps could be heard from the back of the hall.
Under the stunned gazes of the crowd, a cultivator witeak Heavenly Dipper Realm came out from behind them. After glancing around the hall, he silently walked to the last seat on the right while everyone else looked at each other. He clasped his hands at the eight Daofathers beside him and unceremoniously sat down.
The instant this person sat down, it was as if the emotions of all the cultivators in the hall were ignited.
âHeâs only at the peak of the Heavenly Dipper Realm, what kind of joke is this?â
âZhuge Xuan Lou, this person is Zhuge familyâs Zhuge Xuan Lou!â
While everyone was discussing, Daoist Chu Yu opened his mouth and said, âFellow Daoists, Iâm sure you all know this fellow Daoist Zhuge. He is indeed a member of the famous clan of Lang County, the Zhuge Clanâs Zhu Ge Xuan Lou!â
The voice paused for a moment, and then Daoist Yu continued, âMaybe there are a lot of people who are questioning the qualifications of little friend Zhuge to sit on the stage. Then I will tell you one thing, the ancient Dao rank array of the Zhuge family, the eight golden dao sealing array, has been repaired by little friend Zhuge!â
Amidst the shocked voices of the crowd, Daoist Jiuâs voice was still as clear as before, âIn other words, little friend Zhuge is already a Grandmaster of Array Dao!â
âGrandmaster array master, no wonder?â
âThe only Grandmaster of the formation in the cultivation world of the Yuzhou, whaity Daofather Yang Junshan!â
âSpeaking of which, when the Jun Shan Daofather became a Grandmaster of formations, he was already a Adept Tai Gang. This Ge Xuan Tower is only at the peak of Heavenly Dipper Realm, could it be that this person is even stronger than the Jun Shan Daofather?â
âYou probably donât understand. Grandmasters of arrays have their own strengths and weaknesses, right? Didnât you hear what Dao Ancestor Wu said? Zhuge Xuan Lou was only repairing the Dao Formation passed down by the Zhuge family.â
Some cultivators who knew the way around immediately began to whisper.
A cultivator at the side immediately said, âI would like to hear the details. Fellow cultivator, please dispel my confusion!â
Of course, thatâs what the formation masters call each other, we have to respectfully address each other as quasi-grandmasters, and the ones on top of them are naturally the genuine âformation grandmastersâ. Above the âformation grandmastersâ are the âformation grandmastersâ, and of course, the West Mountainâs Yang Daoists are the most high-classâ formation grandmastersâ among formation grandmasters.
âWhat about this Grandmaster Zhuge?â Some cultivators immediately asked.
âThis Grandmaster Zhuge,â the knowledgeable cultivator âhehâ said. âFrom the description given by Daofather Wine, he should at most be a âquasi-Grandmasterâ!â
âOh â ââ The surrounding cultivators seemed to have come tealization as they stretched their voices a little longer, âA fake grandmaster!â
This was a matter of offending people, and he did not see the Dao Ancestor supporting Zhuge Liuyun from behind. He quickly waved his hand and said, âEveryone, please do not harm me, âFalse Grandmasterâ is not something we can say. If a Grandmaster can complement the familyâs Dao Propagation Formation, then that irue skill. A âQuasi-Grandmasterâ is also a true grandmaster of formations, it is not something that any Array Grandmaster can compare with.â
Many cultivators in the hall were actually unsatisfied with the fact that a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign from the Ge Xuan Tower was able to sit in the top ten seats. Even with his status as an array grandmaster, he was unavoidably looked down upon.
When the cultivator hurriedly explained, someone asked, âThen this dao friend, may I ask, what are the three levels divided by the Grandmaster?â
The cultivator wiped the sweat off his forehead and said: âTo be able to complete the arrangement of a Dao array on his own, or to deduce the inheritance of a Dao array on his own, he can already be called a Grandmaster, and Grandmaster Zhuge has obviously only completed the clanâs inheritance formation, this sort of achievement is built on the accumulated knowledge of past array masters, or perhaps it is a formation created jointly by many array masters, and is usually called a Quasi-Grandmaster. And like the Jun Shan Dao Ancestor, not only did he complete the arrangement of a Dao array on his own, he even deduced the entire Dao array from scratch, then naturally he has the identity of a Grandmaster.â
The discussion in the hall naturally couldnât be hidden from the Daofathers seated at the front of the hall. This caused Daoist Chu Fengâs face to turn rather ugly, but the other Daofathers didnât comment on this matter in a mocking manner.
âMany of you dao friends have come into contact with the âInfernal domain blood capitalâ, so you naturally know how much of an impact your own strength will be in the âInfernal domain blood capitalâ region, and if you want to suppress the expansion of the âInfernal domain blood capitalâ, then you will need the support of a formation master. In that case, how important is the role of a formation grandmaster?â
This was related to the lives and possessions of everyone. Everyone remembered one thing, âQuasi-Grandmasterâ was also a grandmaster of formations, and his attainments in formations far surpassed that of grandmasters of formations. If this was the case, then it was not unwise for Zhu Ge Xuan Tower to occupy a position in the upper echelons.
Seeing that all the cultivators had stopped talking, he knew that they had all agreed to his idea, the Tan Xi Sectâs plan had succeeded in rebuilding his prestige in the Yuzhou, enjoying the satisfaction in his heart, he immediately said: âNext up is another matter related to the annihilation of the âInfernal domain blood capitalâ, it is regarding the matter of the Yu Chengâs management.â
The hall became quiet once again, and many peopleâs gazes were on the Madame Yang Cultivators from time to time.
Taoist Jiuâs expression was rather solemn as he said, âIn view of the disappearance of the Western Mountainâs Madame Yang Dao Ancestor and the fact that the Madame Yang is currently unable to control the situation in the Yu Cheng, I believe that the Yu Cheng is in the southern region and should be entrusted towerful sect.â
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by two voices.
âOh, then which sect has the power to administer the Yu Cheng?â The one who spoke was Zichuâs Jia Bofang.
âSect Leader Wu, dare I ask, has the caretaker of the southern region of the Yu Cheng ever asked for the permission of our Western Mountain Madame Yang?â Yan Qinxi took a step forward, ignoring the imposing aura of the Taoist ancestor, and asked.
As if he had anticipated what was going on, he said, âPlease do not be impatient. Letâs first talk about Fellow Jia, regarding the control of the Yu Cheng, naturally, the stronger sects are better off. Besides the Jade Sword Sect and Jade Xiao Sect in charge of the northern region, I do not think that any other sect could stand shoulder to shoulder with my sect.â
Jia Bofang laughed out loud, interrupting Yu Di once again, âCould it be that Fellow Gui doesnât know, because Mistress Yang from the west mountain injured my Adept Tai Gang Jia Shu Zhi, and I have already asked the Yang family to hand over half of the southern part of the southern part of the city to my Zichu to manage?â
Priest Yu laughed and said, âYou must be joking, fellow Taoist Jia. But I am.â
âThis old man feels that Fellow Jiaâs request is not unreasonable!â
This time, the one who spoke was Taoist Greywolf, he suddenly stood beside Jia Bofang.
Jia Bofang cupped his hands towards Taoist Greywolf.
Daoist Ji Yuâs face darkened when he heard Zhang Yueming say, âI also agree with what fellow Jia De said.â
Daoist Yuâs face turned darker. If it was just the Heavenâs Spirit Sect and Zichu joining hands, he would have nothing to fear.
While everyone was still confused, Daoist Jiu said, âSince the Zichu has requested to take over half of the Southern City, and has the support of the Heavenly Spirit Sect and the Heaven-Shaken Sect, then our sect naturally has no objections. I wonder if any of you would have any objections when we request to take over the remaining quarter of the Yu Cheng?â
Jia Bofang laughed, Taoist Greywolf and Zhang Yueming did not say anything, but Taoist Qiyang, who was silently circulating his True Essence in his own seat suddenly opened his eyes and said: âfire valley has no objections.â
Priest Yu hurriedly cupped his hands together and said, âThank you, fellow Daoist Qiyang.â
Yan Qinxiâs voice once again came from the great hall: âMay I ask Tan Xi Sect, when do you think Western Mountainâs Madame Yang will agree to let your esteemed sect manage Yu Chengâs city area?â
In the midst of the cold, detached, pitying, and contemptuous gazes that filled the hall, Yan Qinxiâs voice was even more proud and aloof, to the point that it carried a trace of determination.
Daoist Yu then turned around and said with a laugh, âMaster and niece, Master has said that he will only take charge of the situation. As long as Fellow cultivator Jun Shan returns, Master will give up control of the city without any hesitation.â
What he said sounded nice, but in reality, the so-called âoverseerâ was like a meat bun beating a dog.
The reason why everyone gathered here and dared to attack the Madame Yang was because they believed that Yang Junshan would never be able to return to the Yuzhou. Just because Yang Junshan had too much prestige built up in the Yuzhou, the various sects did not dare to do things too cruelly.
As long as Taoist Yang returns back to the Yuzhou, my Zichu will give up control of the city without a word. But then again, the reason why our sect is in charge of a quarter of the city is because Mistress Yang has injured our Heavenly Dipper Sovereign, our sectâs Heavenly Dipper Sovereign ha! Jia Bofang didnât mind transferring his hatred to his at this time, as he wanted to watch a good show where his daughter would fall out with her family.
Daoist Yu turned a deaf ear to Jia Bofangâs words. He only said amiably to Yan Qinxi, âMaster, niece.â
Yan Qinxi said coldly: âJunior is the dao companion of the Western Mountain Madame Yangâs Daofather Jun Shan!â
A sigh came from Yan Dazhi behind him, âMy daughter, you are from the Tan Xi Sect, and are my, Yan Dazhiâs, daughter. How could I, Yan Dazhi, treat my daughterâs husbandâs family unfairly?â
Yan Qinxi spoke word by word, âYu Cheng was seized by my husband himself. Regardless of whether you are from Tan Xi Sect or from Zichu, if you want, please take it away from Madame Yang. No matter if it isâ taking over âorâ managing â, the Yang family has never admitted to it!â
Priest Yu suppressed the anger in his heart with great difficulty and said, âWhy are you in such a difficult situation now?â Even if the Tan Xi Sect was not in charge, would the Yang family still be able to establish a foothold in the Yu Cheng? At least handing over the Yu Cheng s to the Tan Xi Seco manage them is better than being taken over by another sect. â
No matter how much Daoist Jiu talked, Yan Qinxi just shook her head. With a single word, she could make the Tan Xi Sect take it away.
âMistress Yang,â Priest Yu finally lost his patience and shouted suddenly, âDo you know the consequences Madame Yangâs ignorance can bring to Madame Yang? Does the decision you make represent the entire Yang family? â
Yang Qinzhang and Yang Qinlang stepped out from behind Yan Qinxi and said, âFourth Auntâs words are exactly what the Madame Yang had said!â
Ning Bin, Zhou Yi and Su Baozhang silently stood together with Yan Qinxi. She Tiisheng let out a small sigh, and also stood up.
Yan Dazhi wanted to say something but in the end, he felt depressed. The rest of the Daoists either had nothing to do with or were just watching from the sidelines, maybe they were just distracted, or just simply waited to watch the show.
Jia Bofang took pleasure in his misfortune and said, âNow weâll have a good show to watch!â
âOh, what does Fellow Jia want to watch?â someone asked.
âOf course itâs Tan Xi Sect and Western Mountain Madame Yang who have turned hostile âŚâ
Before he could even finish his sentence, Jia Bofang suddenly realized that the voice was not right, and was not the voice of any of the Daoists here just now. His expression changed greatly, and he suddenly stood up from his seat and shouted: âWho are you?
Jia Bofangâs eyes suddenly opened wide, as though he had seen something shocking, and couldnât utter a word.
Jia Bofangâs sudden action not only shocked all the cultivators in the hall, even the few Daofathers sitting on the stage looked at Jia Bofang who suddenly stood up in shock.
However, at the same time, the gazes of the various Daoists who were initially looking at Jia Bofang paused in midair, and then all of a sudden, they landed on the seat where Daoist Jiu used to sit in among the ten seats.
At some point in time, even Daoist Fei Xiao and Taoist Lin Xiao, who were closest to him in both left and right, had not realized that someone was actually sitting there without any warning, giving off the feeling that he had been sitting there for a very long time.
When did he appear? This was the first thought that came to everyoneâs mind!
How could he possibly appear? This was the second one!
This time, it was truly a good show. This was the third one!
Priest Yu looked especially confused. He suddenly realized a very important question. Where should he sit next?
