125: Chapter 125: Framing the Twin Saints of Heavenly Stars!
"It is actually very simple: by order of the Two Holy Lords, we are to slay Six Paths Extreme Saint of Holy Demon Island."
As soon as Zhao Changsheng's words fell, before they had even fully dissipated, an Elder instantly slapped the table and stood up.
This Elder was an Old Daoist with white hair, a youthful complexion, and a ruddy face.
However, as he looked at Zhao Changsheng now, his gaze held traces of fierce light and shock.
The other Elders of the Myriad Laws Sect, and even the Sect Leader Wan Tianming himself, were shocked by this objective.
After all, this was not about slaying an ordinary Demonic Path Cultivator, but the number one figure of the demonic path, a Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, and a great Devil Head who had dominated the entire Chaotic Star Sea for hundreds of years.
Although the Righteous Path and Demonic Path had always been at odds, they had always shared a common enemy when facing the Star Palace.
Simply put, regarding the Star Palace, the two sides were in a cooperative relationship; otherwise, the Reverse Star Alliance could not exist.
The Reverse Star Alliance was not a new occurrence; it appeared essentially every so often for the purpose of confronting the Star Palace and seeing if it could be overthrown.
As for why the Star Palace did not completely eradicate the Righteous and Demonic Paths...
Firstly, they lacked the capability, and secondly, even if they wiped out one generation of the Righteous and Demonic Paths, new ones would gradually emerge later, making it utterly pointless.
Instead, it would drastically weaken the power of the Human Race, allowing the strength of the Yao Race to increase greatly.
When that time came, let alone controlling the Inner Star Sea, it was uncertain if they could even save their own lives.
Under such circumstances, as long as the Star Palace was not foolish, they would never choose to eradicate the Righteous and Demonic Paths entirely; at most, they would slay a few Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators to make an example of them!
Now that the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star actually wanted to eradicate Six Paths Extreme Saint, the number one figure of the demonic path, the Elders of the Myriad Laws Sect found it truly inconceivable; it was simply too unbelievable.
"Indeed, that is the case. It is precisely the command of the Two Holy Lords; otherwise, how would I have the courage to slay the number one figure of the demonic path? Moreover, to accomplish this, I have already planned everything with the number two figure of the Demonic Path, Fellow Daoist Savage Beard, as well as Six Paths Extreme Saint's Dao Companion, Madam Wen. Venerable Sanyang of the Qingyang Sect has also agreed. Besides them, I intend to invite other Fellow Daoists, all of whom are Nascent Soul Cultivators with grievances against Six Paths Extreme Saint without exception."
"Most of them are Middle Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators. Once the deed is done, we shall divide the entirety of Holy Demon Island and the many islands it controls. What do you all think, Fellow Daoists?"
Zhao Changsheng spoke with complete confidence, revealing everything—though, of course, it was essentially all nonsense, and he had directly dragged the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star into it.
"If the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star dare to destroy Six Paths Extreme Saint today, will they destroy my Myriad Laws Sect tomorrow?"
The one speaking was a fierce-looking old man; one look at his face told you he was no good person, and he didn't look like a Righteous Path Cultivator at all.
"What? Could it be that this Elder has some friendship with Six Paths Extreme Saint of Holy Demon Island, or are you an undercover spy sent to the Myriad Laws Sect by Six Paths Extreme Saint? Are you afraid your master will be destroyed?"
Zhao Changsheng immediately began slinging mud. Naturally, the Elder didn't care about Zhao Changsheng's slander, but his fury only grew.
"Nonsense! Pure nonsense! Your Star Palace shouldn't be too arrogant."
"Elder, please do not misunderstand. Our Star Palace has never been arrogant. I am merely following the orders of the Two Holy Lords to invite the Myriad Laws Sect. If your noble sect is unwilling to participate, then naturally there is nothing more to say; after all, I am just an inviter. As for subsequent matters, they will naturally be decided by the Two Holy Lords, and will have nothing to do with me, except that I will take action against Six Paths Extreme Saint."
Zhao Changsheng continued.
"You think you can deal with Six Paths Extreme Saint? I'm afraid he would only need one slap to take your life."
The fierce-looking Myriad Laws Sect Elder sneered, his voice full of ridicule.
Regarding the argument between the two, Wan Tianming, the Sect Leader of the Myriad Laws Sect, acted as if he were blind, not seeing it at all and maintaining an air of indifference. Zhao Changsheng sneered inwardly but continued to speak with an unfazed expression.
"What the Elder says is very true. With my meager strength—though I advanced quickly, it was only due to good luck and a fluke; it's nothing to brag about. As for slaying Six Paths Extreme Saint, that is a decision made by the Two Holy Lords and has nothing to do with me; I am only responsible for inviting people. If your noble sect is unwilling, then I shall take my leave. However, if your noble sect agrees, just use this Transmission Talisman to notify me, and I will inform you of the specific time and place. As for whom your noble sect sends, that is your business and has nothing to do with me. But let it be said beforehand: the spoils after the deed is done will be divided according to the effort expended. Whoever contributes the most will receive the most benefits; this method is the fairest."
After saying this, Zhao Changsheng left behind a Transmission Talisman and stood up to leave directly, completely unconcerned about any sneak attacks from behind.
Once Zhao Changsheng had left, the Elders of the Myriad Laws Sect all turned their gazes toward Sect Leader Wan Tianming.
At this moment, Wan Tianming's expression shifted uncertainly as he pondered whether what Zhao Changsheng said was true or false, and whether or not he should agree.
"Sect Leader, we absolutely cannot agree to this! On the contrary, we must quickly inform Six Paths Extreme Saint of this matter so he can be prepared, lest he actually meets with misfortune. If that happens, the Reverse Star Alliance will be completely finished, and all the hard work our Righteous and Demonic Paths have put in over the years will be utterly wasted. Overthrowing the Star Palace in the future would become an impossibility. This Star Palace is truly ruthless, actually preparing to move against Six Paths Extreme Saint. Could it be that the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star have truly succeeded in cultivating that Primal Magnetic Divine Light?"
"But didn't Six Paths Extreme Saint say that this Divine Ability is impossible to Cultivate successfully? If they cannot Cultivate it, they have no possibility of leaving Heavenly Star City. Could Six Paths Extreme Saint have been wrong?"
Another Elder, thin and dark-faced, spoke up, voicing what the other Elders were thinking but dared not say.
"The matter of the Primal Magnetic Divine Light is not in error; the Grand Elder has already confirmed this. Most likely some complication has arisen, forcing the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star to eliminate the great threat that is Six Paths Extreme Saint. Once Six Paths Extreme Saint falls, the Reverse Star Alliance will naturally collapse on its own and will no longer pose a threat to the Star Palace. I must say, the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star are certainly ruthless enough. Furthermore, this Elder Zhao is no ordinary Cultivator; after all, what ordinary Cultivator would dare to accept such a task?"
