Su Jingxuan realized that what he thought was the end was only the beginning.
Although Cloud Sea Sect was an immortal sect, it differed significantly from other sects. Instead of being founded by a single individual, it originated from a royal family in the mortal realm.
As a result, Cloud Sea Sect maintained the tradition of inheriting the bloodline of the royal family. The sons of the sect leaders were addressed as “Your Highness.”
However, due to the challenges of cultivation, it was difficult for practitioners to have offspring. Cloud Sea Sect leaders historically only passed on their positions to direct descendants, and Ji Tianying had only one son, Ji Baiyin.
With Ji Baiyin’s death, Cloud Sea Sect needed a new heir, and that person was Ji Xuan, also known as Ji Wang. Born after five hundred years of gestation, he was expected to be the most talented successor in the history of Cloud Sea Sect.
However, Ji Xuan was also the most unruly and arrogant successor in the sect’s history. Lacking the decorum and etiquette expected of an immortal sect member, he acted recklessly and had a quick temper, often resorting to violence.
As several sects comparable to the five major immortal sects emerged, challenging Cloud Sea Sect’s authority, Ji Xuan directly confronted them. He paid no heed to reasoning, resorting to violence upon arrival, ensuring compliance and firmly holding command over the vast army of various races.
Although this is advantageous for Yunhai Sect, his temperament is really no different from those who practice dark and sinister arts. The elders within the sect are genuinely worried, fearing that after he closes his retreat, he might turn into a demon. After all, whether one becomes an immortal or falls into demonic cultivation depends on one’s nature.
But why is the bloodline of the head of Yunhai Sect always gentle and profound throughout generations, yet he, Ji Xuan, has such a different temperament? It’s all because of his elder brother and the past that belonged to “Ji Baiyin.”
Whether it was Su Jingxuan or himself as Ji Xuan at that time, they couldn’t understand why Ji Tianying, with the ability to protect Ji Baiyin, would bow to some so-called righteousness and let his son go to his death.
So he despises Ji Tianying, despises Yunhai Sect, and despises these righteous and timid cultivators. Ji Xuan doesn’t need constraints; he wants to do whatever he pleases, and no one should try to control him!
Therefore, when he decides to assassinate the “Yao Emperor Jianghe,” no one can stop him, and no one knows that he has left Yunhai Sect for the Yao Clan territory.
The Great Hundred Races War has been going on for almost a thousand years, with the entire spirit world filled with smoke. Not everyone wants to stop, but reality doesn’t allow it.
Not every race loves peace; most of them are warlike and want to seize territory and resources during the reshuffling caused by the Great Hundred Races War. To stop the fighting, the leaders of the Yao Clan and Yunhai Sect must speak up.
Yunhai Sect is easy to deal with; they have long wanted to stop fighting. But the Yao Clan is different. The Yao Clan has Seven Flame Saint Lord, who bears deep hatred towards the human race and is determined not to stop until death.
Hearing that Seven Flame Saint Lord and the Yao Emperor Jianghe have a close relationship, the Yao Clan is willing to lead the attack on the human race. This decision is made solely to suppress opposition within the clan, and unless Seven Flame relents, Yao Emperor Jianghe won’t agree to withdraw.
Therefore, to stop the Great Hundred Races War, the key is to resolve the issue with Yao Emperor Jianghe.
He doesn’t want to fight, not because he is afraid or loves peace, but simply because he is lazy. Ji Xuan likes freedom; he doesn’t want to become the head of Yunhai Sect after Ji Tianying ascends, leading those old cultivators of the sect. He can’t stand this group of old, conservative, and stubborn elders.
Moreover, if these old stubborn people want him to inherit Yunhai Sect, does he have to agree? What is he? Why should he accept the arrangements of these people? He has to ascend before Ji Tianying does and leave the mess for the old man Ji!
If the Great Hundred Races War doesn’t stop, he won’t have time to cultivate. He has to find a way to resolve the issue with Yao Emperor Jianghe.
Peace talks with Yunhai Sect have been tried and failed; killing the opponent is the only option left. If Jianghe dies, the Yao Clan will fall into chaos, and other allied races will follow suit. It’s just a matter of time before the war stops.
Of course, if Jianghe is willing to withdraw and make peace directly, he doesn’t want to add more killings. Moreover, he heard that Jianghe, the Yao Emperor, is a tough character. He is not a true dragon bloodline of the Yao Clan but a transformed flood dragon who seized the throne from the old Yao Emperor. Dealing with him won’t be easy.
In his youth and arrogance, he never thought that the Yao Clan assassination mission would lead to such a profound fate for him.
After entering the Yao Clan territory, his strength is not low, but he underestimated the clan’s defenses. He never expected that the so-called “barbaric” Yao Clan, known for their physical prowess and simple minds, had set up so many traps with formations proficiently designed to counter the martial arts characteristics of Yunhai Sect disciples.
These formations are probably arranged by Seven Flame Saint Lord himself.
When Seven Flame was in love with his elder brother, it shook the entire spirit world. Although the sect outwardly respected his father and dared not discuss it loudly, there was no shortage of contempt behind his back.
People within the sect often criticized his elder brother for being shameless, indulging in a relationship with an exotic Yao and betraying the sect’s secret techniques to an outsider. Otherwise, the powerful expert from the Yaksha Clan wouldn’t have easily broken their mountain guard battle formation threat back then.
He grew up hearing these words. At first, he would get angry, but later on, he got used to it. People can say whatever they want; his brother’s choices are his own business.
So what if the person his brother likes is from another race, or if it’s a man? What does it have to do with these conservative old men? His brother’s death was forced by these old fools. If he were the powerful expert from the Yaksha Clan back then, he would have gone and killed all five major sects!
Now, he even has the idea of killing Seven Flame Saint Lord. This guy learned things from his elder brother at Yunhai Sect and is causing him trouble.
After infiltrating the Yao Clan palace for less than half a day, he, with considerable strength, unexpectedly encountered traps set by the clan’s guards. Fortunately, he wasn’t captured on the spot, thanks to his good cultivation.
But alerting the Yao Clan, the entire palace instantly went on high alert, and countless Yao soldiers came out to capture him.
In panic, he had to hide in a nearby sleeping palace.
However, he didn’t expect that even though he had scanned the room with his divine sense and found no one, he would run into the owner of the sleeping palace as soon as he entered. There was hardly anyone more unlucky than him!
It seemed that the person also didn’t expect someone to suddenly intrude into his sleeping palace, looking somewhat dumbfounded upon seeing him.
In such a critical situation, he didn’t think much. Regardless of whether the other person was dumbfounded or not, he rushed over, brandishing a dagger enveloped with spiritual energy and pointed it at the man’s neck.
“Don’t make a sound. If you do, I’ll kill you!”
He stared at the tall man in front of him, who was much larger than himself, threatening fiercely. In his heart, he couldn’t help but mutter, weren’t the Yao Clan supposed to look bizarre? How could this big Yao be so handsome!
