649: Chapter 649 The Elders Arguing with Each Other

Su Yun pondered for a moment before asking again:

"Elder Liu, besides these two matters, has anything else significant happened?

Have there been any unusual changes among the major Sects in the Central Domain?"

Liu Chengfeng shook his head. "Holy Lord, besides those two matters, no other major events have occurred in the Central Domain over the past half month!"

He paused for a moment before continuing:

"As for the large Sects within the Central Domain... things are mostly the same as before.

However, some smaller Sects are still frequently clashing and fighting over territory for unknown reasons, causing quite a few cities in the Central Domain to become chaotic and foul.

The only relatively peaceful areas are the cultivation cities near the Western Middle Domain. Those small Sects involved in conflicts no longer dare to fight within the cities.

It is said that many families there have formed a Family Alliance and have begun maintaining order in the major cities."

Su Yun nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

Only ten days or so had passed, and to see such results proved that the Xie Family Ancestor and the others were doing an excellent job!

However, he now had to be on guard against the Linyuan Sect's next move.

If only he could encounter another Jiyuan Palace Immortal Slave!

That way, he could check their life script to learn about other parts of the Linyuan Sect's plan.

Wait! It felt like he had forgotten something.

Right!

He could check Chen Hao's life script for any changes!

A sharp light flashed in Su Yun's eyes, and with a single thought...

...a light screen appeared before him. It was indeed Chen Hao's life script.

His gaze skipped over the first few sections and landed on the turning point section.

...

[Recent Turning Point: In four months, Chen Hao will represent the Linyuan Sect and travel to the Eastern Domain to discuss the invasion of the Central Domain with the Five Great Demonic Sects.]

...

"It doesn't seem to have changed much; Chen Hao is still going to the Eastern Domain to negotiate with the demonic cultivators about a joint invasion of the Central Domain."

Just as Su Yun was about to close Chen Hao's life script, his gaze suddenly sharpened. "Wait! The timing seems to have changed. It went from two months later to four months later!"

Why was the plan suddenly delayed?

Could it be...

Thinking of this, Su Yun's lips couldn't help but twitch.

"Did the identity I made up on a whim actually bluff the Jiyuan Palace Immortal?

Otherwise, why would they suddenly postpone their cooperation with the Demonic Cultivators of the Eastern Domain?"

"Or perhaps it's because I took out Lord Zhao that they adjusted their plans!"

"Regardless of the reason, this is a good thing."

Su Yun then ceased his pondering and looked up at Liu Chengfeng. "I assume there's nothing else?"

"Reporting to the Holy Lord, that is all. However, considering you wanted a detailed investigation into the recent situation in the Central Domain...

...I have also compiled some of the more unusual minor incidents occurring throughout the Central Domain."

As Liu Chengfeng spoke, he took out a white Jade Slip from his Storage Ring and handed it to Su Yun.

Su Yun took the Jade Slip and scanned it briefly with his Divine Sense, seeing numerous events recorded in dense detail.

There was quite a lot of content; he would take a closer look later.

After putting away the Jade Slip, he looked at Liu Chengfeng again. "Elder Liu, not just this time, you have been doing very well lately!"

"How about this? The cultivation resources allocated to you by our Holy Land this year will be increased by twenty percent as a reward.

Also, take some time to rest for the next while."

"Thank you, Holy Lord! I understand!" Liu Chengfeng cupped his hands excitedly and grinned.

Although twenty percent didn't seem like much...

...it was actually a significant amount. After all, he was an Elder in the Enlightenment Realm!

His monthly allocation was already substantial; adding twenty percent for a whole year was a massive gain.

Working for the Holy Lord is great! So many rewards!

The key was that he hadn't even exerted much effort; he had simply arranged for the deacons to handle the investigation!

All he had to do was compile the results. It was incredibly easy.

With a little more effort, he might be able to gather the resources needed to advance to the Tribulation Crossing Realm even sooner!

Some of the Elders looked at Liu Chengfeng with immense envy.

After all, they wanted such a good deal too!

Su Yun waved his hand and looked at the group of Elders. "Alright, Elders, the important matters have been discussed. Next, let's observe the Disciples' Grand Competition!"

"As you command, Holy Lord!"

The Elders nodded one after another and then began to argue amongst themselves, discussing the performances of their respective Disciples.

They would not back down, each believing their own Disciple was stronger.

Quenching Fire stroked his beard with absolute confidence. "In this competition, my Cuihuo Peak's strongest Disciple has already reached the high stage of the Soul Emergence Realm. They will surely place in the top five, maybe even take first!"

"Not necessarily. My Piaomiao Peak's former Chief Disciple is already at the peak stage of the Soul Emergence Realm, so the one who takes first will definitely be my Disciple!"

Perfected Piaomiao said with full confidence, as if his words were already a reality.

Venerable Yuling, sitting to the side, looked somewhat helpless and sighed softly.

"I don't have such high expectations. If any of my many Disciples can make it into the top twenty, I'll be very happy!"

The former Personal Disciples of the other peaks were at the high stage or even the peak stage of the Soul Emergence Realm at best, while the Disciples of her Jade Pearl Peak were the weakest.

Not to mention the Chief Disciple, Yulan, who was only at the Sixth Level of Soul Transformation Realm.

The only thing that gave her some comfort was her youngest Disciple, Yuyao, who was quite hardworking and had reached the Soul Transformation Tenth Level, though she still hadn't advanced to the Soul Emergence Realm!

To make it into the top twenty, she would undoubtedly encounter Disciples in the Soul Emergence Realm.

Yuyao would likely place in the twenties at best!

Still, placing in the twenties was quite good!

At this moment, Meng Shuyan smiled faintly and said calmly, "Elders, I, for one, believe my Disciple can take first."

As soon as she spoke, the previously confident Elders were instantly silenced, their expressions turning solemn.

"Not necessarily. Perhaps a Disciple from my Thunder Shadow Peak will take first?"

Perfected Lei Ying was somewhat defiant, but fearing a beating from Meng Shuyan, she spoke in a very small voice.

However, the other Elders still heard her and began to buzz with discussion:

"Indeed, Elder Meng, my Heavy Rock Peak's strongest Disciple is at the peak stage of the Soul Emergence Realm.

Although your eldest Disciple, Luo Qingshuang, is formidable, she might not necessarily take first place. After all, she hasn't been cultivating for very long."

"I agree..."

"Holy crap... what's going on? How are those three Disciples so strong?"

...

Several of the Elders' eyes widened as they stared at some of the spiritual energy light screens, unable to help but gasp in shock.
