Chapter 668: Liu Yuanguang of Tianyang Sect

The three True God mighty figures appeared to be chatting and laughing on the surface, but deep down, each harbored their own hidden agendas.

Although the Tianfeng Continent was vast,

for the three True God families to reside in the same place, it still felt somewhat cramped.

The usual conflicts between the three families had never stopped.

It was only because they were wary of one another and needed to jointly face the pressure from Donghua Palace that a full-scale battle had not broken out.

However, their relationship could definitely not be described as good.

Wang Jiangyuan had just been verbally squeezed by Zhao Zheng

and quickly launched a counterattack, refusing to show weakness.

He put down his wine cup and asked Zhao Zheng with a smile that wasn't quite a smile,

"Brother Zhao, I heard that your Zhao Family has wide connections and has even expanded your business to Tianyang Domain."

"I wonder if you could bring this younger brother along? When there's wealth, everyone should share in it."

Hearing these words,

Zhao Zheng couldn't help but be greatly startled.

He didn't know if there was a hidden meaning behind Wang Jiangyuan's words.

If it was just about doing business, then of course there was no problem.

As a True God Family, they naturally wouldn't limit themselves to just Donghua Domain.

Seeking external development was also a very normal thing.

But looking at Wang Jiangyuan's smile-that-wasn't-a-smile expression, it clearly contained a deep meaning.

Zhao Zheng's heart was filled with anxiety.

He asked himself, the matter of hooking up with Tianyang Sect had been done extremely secretly.

No outsiders should know about it.

Where did Wang Jiangyuan get the news from?

"Could he be testing me?"

Thinking of this,

Zhao Zheng took a deep breath and spoke solemnly,

"Little Brother Wang, you mustn't speak recklessly; this is not something to joke about."

"We merely opened a few shops in Tianyang Domain; it doesn't count as any big business."

"Oh, then perhaps this younger brother misunderstood."

Wang Jiangyuan picked up his wine cup and replied with a rather playful expression.

Having his bottom line almost exposed by Wang Jiangyuan, Zhao Zheng felt extremely uneasy in his heart.

He didn't want to stay for even a single moment longer.

It was better to hurry back.

Thinking of this,

Zhao Zheng quickly stood up and said to Ye Zhiqiu,

"Brother Ye, there are still matters to handle in my Family, so I will take my leave first."

Ye Zhiqiu slowly stood up.

He picked up his wine cup, drained it in one gulp, and then slowly spoke,

"The new Guardian Envoy has descended, and it wouldn't do for us not to show some gesture."

"How about this, let's set a time and go pay a visit together."

"Well said, we will go together when the time comes."

Zhao Zheng exchanged some polite pleasantries and quickly departed in a hurry.

Watching the direction of his departure, Wang Jiangyuan said playfully,

"Old Brother Zhao is leaving in such a hurry. Could he really have a guilty conscience?"

Ye Zhiqiu glanced at him and then said indifferently,

"Who doesn't have a guilty conscience?"

Rebuffed softly yet firmly by Ye Zhiqiu, Wang Jiangyuan's expression became awkward.

Originally, he had been thinking about whether he could rope Ye Zhiqiu in to suppress the Zhao Family's momentum.

Now he didn't dare to say it anymore.

In case he said too much and exposed his own bottom line, that wouldn't be very good.

On this Tianfeng Continent, the person he was most wary of was Ye Zhiqiu.

Ye Zhiqiu possessed formidable strength, and his cultivation had already reached the Ninth Heaven of the True God Realm.

With God Kings not appearing, very few people could suppress him.

In a remote place like the Tianfeng Continent,

as long as Ye Zhiqiu was willing, he would properly be an overlord of one side.

No one would dare to easily offend him.

Even the person behind him told him not to easily provoke Ye Zhiqiu.

Bumping into a soft nail here with Ye Zhiqiu

left Wang Jiangyuan momentarily not knowing what to say.

He took a deep breath and then said politely to Ye Zhiqiu,

"Since Brother Zhao has already left a step ahead, this younger brother won't disturb you any further."

"When Brother Ye confirms the time, we will go together to pay a visit to the Guardian Envoy."

After saying these words,

Wang Jiangyuan cupped his fists at Ye Zhiqiu and quickly soared into the air.

His figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the distant horizon.

Ye Zhiqiu stood quietly at the entrance of the grand hall.

Watching the direction where the two disappeared, his heart involuntarily fell into deep contemplation.

Both of these two men harbored hidden agendas.

The Zhao Family had hooked up with Tianyang Sect, and even he hadn't been able to investigate the person behind the Wang Family.

"If this goes on, it might not be very good."

"In case they launch an action and trigger the attention of Donghua Palace, will I also be implicated?"

"Perhaps I should cut ties with them as soon as possible."

"I certainly don't want to get dragged into their messy affairs."

"I'd better wait until I meet the new Guardian Envoy before deciding."

Ye Zhiqiu thought silently to himself.

Unlike the two of them, Zhao and Wang,

he was a pure Cultivator of the Dao and did not want to be bound by any constraints.

Even establishing the Ye Family was merely to collect cultivation resources for himself.

He did not want to pledge allegiance to anyone.

As long as it didn't affect his cultivation, whoever came to be the master of the Tianfeng Continent

was a matter of complete indifference to him.

But looking at it now,

whether it was the Tianyang Sect behind the Zhao Family or the mysterious forces behind the Wang Family,

they probably wouldn't let the Tianfeng Continent continue to remain peaceful.

Who knows which day a major chaos might erupt.

When that time truly arrives,

it won't do for him not to take a side.

This was definitely not a situation he was willing to see.

In Ye Zhiqiu's view,

it was best to be able to maintain the status quo.

"Perhaps I should find an opportunity to remind that new Guardian Envoy."

"Using the power of Donghua Palace, sweep all the forces behind the Zhao and Wang families out of the Tianfeng Continent."

"Forget it, I'll wait until after paying a visit to the Guardian Envoy and see Donghua Palace's attitude before deciding."

Thinking of this,

Ye Zhiqiu slowly walked into the depths of the grand hall, came to the cultivation platform, and sat cross-legged in silence.

Strength was the fundamental basis.

If he could advance to the God King Realm, all chaos would no longer be a problem.

Absolute strength breaks all laws.

These deceitful and scheming matters made him somewhat weary.

…

Zhao Zheng flew rapidly all the way.

A massive city soon appeared within his field of vision.

This was the ancestral territory of the Zhao Family.

Zhengyang City.

Zhao Zheng flew to the northern part of the city and landed before a magnificent grand hall.

Outside the grand hall, several Disciples in purple clothes saw Zhao Zheng return

and immediately shouted respectfully in unison,

"Greetings, Old Ancestor."

"Mn."

Zhao Zheng waved his sleeve, gave a casual response, and then hurried into the grand hall.

Passing through layers of corridors, he soon arrived at a spacious secret chamber.

In the center of the secret chamber,

a tall array platform stood quietly.

Endless mystical rune patterns continuously cascaded down from the array platform.

Closing the door of the secret chamber,

Zhao Zheng walked onto the array platform.

Donghua Palace had dispatched a new Guardian Envoy, and today he had almost been exposed by Wang Jiangyuan.

This made him feel extremely uneasy in his heart.

He wanted to get in touch with Tianyang Sect as soon as possible

to see to what extent their side's plan had progressed.

If this dragged on any longer,

Zhao Zheng was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold out.

He was not Ye Zhiqiu.

He neither had Ye Zhiqiu's strength nor Ye Zhiqiu's confidence.

In case the matter of him defecting to Tianyang Sect was poked up to Donghua Palace,

the consequences were simply unimaginable.

Facing the thunderous rage of Donghua Palace, he, a mere little True God Cultivator,

couldn't withstand it at all.

Thinking of this,

Zhao Zheng took a deep breath.

Standing on the array platform, he rapidly formed hand seals.

The runes on the array platform flashed,

and dazzling light filled the entire secret chamber.

After a short while,

a faint white-haired projection slowly appeared on the array platform.

Even across an infinitely distant distance,

the coercion emitted by the projection still caused Zhao Zheng to tremble.

This was the Hall Master of Sifang Hall of Tianyang Sect, the Supreme God King Liu Yuanguang.

Sifang Hall fought in all directions, expanding territory for Tianyang Sect.

External forces like the Zhao Family that had defected over were likewise under the command of Sifang Hall.

Looking at the deep-as-the-ocean white-haired projection on the array platform,

Zhao Zheng respectfully shouted,

"Zhao Zheng of the Tianfeng Continent pays respects to the Hall Master."
