Chapter 944: Wading into Muddy Waters
The Great Savage Sea, Taixuan Fairy Island, and the Palace of Yuanyou Fairy Lord.
Immortal Lord Yuanyou is entertaining a high-ranking Taoist immortal.
The high-ranking Taoist immortal had obvious dissatisfaction and even a hint of resentment on his face, while Immortal Lord Yuanyou stood by with a smile on his face, saying nice things.
"Brother Yuanyou, you must understand the principle that the one who is close to the water gets the moon first, right? Nowadays, the strange phenomena in the foggy sea in the Jiuxuan Mountain area are appearing more and more frequently, and each time they are getting bigger and bigger, it is clear that the Mirage Dragon Palace will definitely return in the near future.
We must enter the Misty Sea as soon as possible and establish a base inside, so that we can seize the opportunity when the Mirage Dragon Palace returns. Brother Yuanyou, you are the Immortal King of the Great Savage Sea, can't you arrange such things? "Cen Feiyue said the last sentence, with obvious dissatisfaction and questioning in his tone.
"Brother Cen, it's true that I'm the Immortal King of the Great Savage Sea, but the Jiuxuan Sect is no longer what it used to be, and its strength is extremely powerful. The Misty Sea is related to the great opportunity of the Mirage Dragon Palace, and it happens to be located in their territory. They have designated it as a restricted area and do not allow outsiders to enter and station there. Even I have no way to do anything about it." Immortal King Yuanyou said with difficulty.
"Humph, even ordinary people know that the whole world belongs to the king, don't you, Brother Yuanyou, know this truth?
The ten great celestial realms jointly established the Immortal Court, and this vast earthly immortal world was all under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Court. Let alone the mere Jiuxuan Sect, even the ancient powerful forces in the earthly immortal world had to nominally obey the Immortal Emperor as their master and be under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Court.
Besides, the foggy sea is not where the mountain gate of Jiuxuan Sect is located, but the place covered by their influence. According to the rules of Heaven, once treasures are unearthed in such places, they are ownerless and it depends on one's ability. The capable ones will take over. They are just occupying the geographical advantage now.
Brother Yuanyou is the Great Barbarian Sea Immortal Lord, representing the authority of the Immortal Court. If the Jiuxuan Sect does not obey your orders, it is disobeying orders, which is a crime of treason. You can mobilize all your troops to attack. I think Brother Yuanyou is not helpless, but he just doesn't want to. "Cen Feiyue sneered, his expression becoming more and more dissatisfied.
"Brother Cen, to be honest, I really don't want to. As for the Jiuxuan Sect, you are far away in the Great Wasteland, and you have only heard of its name, but have not really understood it in depth, so it is inevitable that you look down on them.
But I am different. I am the Immortal King of the Great Savage Sea. Not only did I personally experience the battle of the Juxian Sea two thousand years ago, but I have also been paying attention to the Jiuxuan Sect afterwards. I have witnessed the rapid rise of the Jiuxuan Sect and know that its rise is very unusual and that there is a powerful force behind the scenes that is pushing it.
You should have seen the four great demon Taoists Jin Peng, Ya Shan, Bi Zhuo and Luan Xue. Two thousand years ago, only Jin Peng was a top-grade Taoist immortal. Now, the four great demon Taoists are all top-grade Taoist immortals.
Even I would not be able to deal with these four great demons alone, not to mention that there are many Taoist immortals in charge of the Jiuxuan Sect’s headquarters. Among them, Yin Ranyue and Lan Ran are particularly powerful, and their strength is probably not inferior to the four great demons.
That's fine. In the battle at Juxianhai, the man behind the scenes of Jiuxuan Sect did fight. With one strike, the outcome between him and Yuan Sui was decided. That man was slightly stronger. "Seeing that Cen Feiyue was getting more and more dissatisfied, Yuanyou Immortal Lord had no choice but to tell the truth.
"So, Immortal Lord Yuanyou doesn't want to show up and help?" Upon hearing this, Cen Feiyue's face turned completely gloomy. It was obvious that he didn't take Immortal Lord Yuanyou's words to heart.
"All the forces in Savage Continent are coveting the Misty Sea, and the Jiuxuan Sect is so powerful. I really don't want to get involved in this mess. In fact, forgive me for being blunt, but Brother Cen had better not get involved in this mess, lest the matter gets out of hand and puts the teacher in a difficult position!" said Immortal Lord Yuanyou.
"I have already reported this matter to my master, and he has nodded. He has ordered me to fight for the opportunity with all my strength, and also ordered you to cooperate with me in fighting for the opportunity." Cen Feiyue smiled coldly, and a jade token flew out from his body and fell into the hands of Immortal Lord Yuanyou.
There is a "Ling" character on the front of this jade pendant and a "Wei" character on the back.
As soon as the jade token fell into the hands of Immortal Lord Yuanyou, a thought was transmitted to him.
Immortal Lord Yuanyou's expression first changed drastically, and then became uncertain.
"Since the teacher has given the order, the students will naturally obey. However, there are indeed many people fighting for the Mirage Dragon Palace, and the forces involved are very complicated.
Among them is not only the force of Yongtianbian Min Shangxian represented by Yuan Sui, but it is said that there is also a disciple from Shenglou Immortal King who has joined in, and Emperor Moutian from the Great Wilderness has also sent people here.
Didn't the teacher once tell us to keep a low profile and try not to get involved in disputes? Could it be that the teacher has figured out some great opportunity in the Mirage Dragon Mansion? "Yuanyou Immortal Lord was still a little unwilling, and his words hinted at trying to persuade Cen Feiyue to give up the idea.
He knew very well that Cen Feiyue was extremely talented, powerful, and ambitious.
This time, when he returns to the Mirage Dragon Palace, the hidden opportunities are unknown, and many Taoist immortals want to get a piece of the pie to see if there is any hope of going further.
Cen Feiyue's strength is even better than his. If he can seize some opportunities and increase his strength again, he will be able to barely compete with the top-grade Taoist immortals.
In the eyes of Immortal Lord Yuanyou, it must be Cen Feiyue who instigated his backer, Wei Dai, the guardian of Rouzhaotian, so that Wei Dai agreed to wade into this muddy water and dragged him into it as well.
"Rouzhao Tianzun has returned!" Cen Feiyue said lightly.
"What!" Immortal Lord Yuanyou was shocked when he heard this, and then his whole back straightened.
"Brother Yuanyou, can you come with me to the Misty Sea now?" Cen Feiyue asked calmly, twisting a tuft of beard on his chin with two fingers, as if everything was under his control.
Cen Feiyue's words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly pulling Immortal Yuanyou back from the shocking news, and he suddenly regained consciousness.
The return of Rouzhao Tianzun certainly gave Yuanyou Immortal Lord more confidence, but the super-class, half-master and master-level figures in the Huangji world generally had a tacit understanding and would not take action personally unless it was absolutely necessary.
In fact, top- notch Taoist immortals, generally speaking, rarely take action personally unless it involves their own great interests or they are instructed by their superiors.
Most of the time, the people below are allowed to fight for it. At most, when things get out of hand, they will come out to take a stand and say something.
Just like the battle at Juxian Sea, Immortal King Shenglou and Immortal Bian Min saw that things were getting out of hand and difficult to resolve, so they both stepped forward to speak out.
Then both Immortal Yuan Sui and Qin Ziling stopped their attacks.
Therefore, even if Rouzhao Tianzun returned, the fighting and killing would still have to be done by the people below, unless they took the initiative to avoid fighting and not get involved in muddy waters.
Immortal Lord Yuanyou looked at Cen Feiyue, who looked calm and composed, as if he had him sure of victory, and felt very annoyed, yet helpless.
Now he brought out the order from Dharma Protector Wei Dai. Immortal Lord Yuanyou had to wade into this muddy water, otherwise he would have to break with his backer, Dharma Protector Wei Dai.
