240: Chapter 240 The Current Whereabouts of the Disciples of the Chan Sect

Accompanied by four streaks of light, they traveled through the Nine Heavens.

The four high-ranking Disciples of the Chan Sect—Immortal Master Yuding, Master Taiyi, True Lord Qingxu Daode, and Heavenly Venerable Wenshu Guangfa—arrived at the Southern Lands.

The four stood in the sky, looking down at the vast territory below, their thoughts swirling.

True Lord Qingxu Daode was the first to speak:

"Senior Brothers, which tribe shall we join? Which one shall we help to seize the fruit position of the Four Tribes of the Heavenly Dao?"

Master Taiyi, who cultivated the Law of Fire and had the most impatient temperament, immediately said:

"The Phoenix tribe in the South has the greatest influence. We should directly support a tribe affiliated with the Phoenix tribe, such as the Dark Bird tribe or the Peacock tribe. The Phoenix tribe has abundant Luck, so the chances of winning are the highest."

The most steady, Immortal Master Yuding, shook his head and said:

"The Phoenix tribe is on good terms with the Human Race, and the relationship between the Heavenly Dao and the Human Dao... you all know... It would be better to find some medium-sized tribes, cultivate them slowly, and the risks will be smaller."

Heavenly Venerable Wenshu Guangfa also said:

"The South does not have a dominant hegemon like the Tiger Clan in the East. How about we four act separately? Each of us supports one tribe."

Do not put all your eggs in one basket.

Upon hearing this, Master Taiyi immediately objected:

"Act separately? The situation in the South is complex. If the tribes we each support end up clashing with each other, what are we to do?"

He gave a bottom line: "Support only one tribe; the chances of winning are higher, and it is the safest option!"

Heavenly Venerable Wenshu Guangfa heard this and nodded, saying:

"Senior Brother Taiyi is absolutely right. The situation in the South is intricate. If we four each support a tribe, and they end up warring against each other, wouldn't we be killing each other?"

True Lord Qingxu Daode pondered for a moment and said slowly:

"In that case, let us jointly support a medium-sized tribe with great potential. Let us observe for a period of time, select a target, and then help them with all our might."

Although Master Taiyi was impatient, he knew the limits and finally compromised:

"Very well. Let us observe in secret first, and select a target before proceeding."

The four looked at each other and reached a temporary consensus.

Meanwhile, in the Northern Lands.

Immortal Nanji, Chijingzi, and Master Huanglong were above the Nine Heavens, watching the battlefield below where the Black Turtle tribe was fighting the Python tribe. The bloodlust soared to the sky, and the battle cries shook the surroundings.

Master Huanglong was the first to ask:

"Two Senior Brothers, we have been watching here for more than ten years, right? Is one of these two tribes the one we are to support?"

Chijingzi smiled and nodded:

"The Black Turtle tribe."

Immortal Nanji also nodded gently, his eyes filled with a hint of approval:

"The Black Turtle tribe is a long-established major tribe in the South with a deep Foundation and many Quasi-Saint experts within the tribe. It is the best choice for us to seize Karma from the Heavenly Dao."

Hearing that it was the best choice for Karma, Master Huanglong's eyes flashed with excitement, and he said excitedly:

"Then shall we take action now?"

Chijingzi waved his hand and said in a deep voice:

"No rush. Wait a while longer. Let us appear when the battle between the two tribes is at its most intense."

Immortal Nanji nodded in agreement: "The strongest below is no more than a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, which I can destroy with a flick of my finger. If we act when it is most intense, the goodwill we gain will be the best."

Master Huanglong nodded: "Understood. As expected of you two Senior Brothers."

"You are teachable."

The three continued to hide above the Nine Heavens, quietly observing the great war below.

Meanwhile, in the Southern Lands.

Wuzhiqi was chasing a Taiyi Demon Cultivator. The aura of the Demon Cultivator attracted countless Cultivators nearby, who felt greed in their hearts, wanting to kill him to earn Karma.

But they were all forced back by the aura of Human Emperor Xuanyuan.

Just as Human Emperor Xuanyuan sensed another group of people and was about to release his aura to force them back, he saw that they were the familiar Disciples of the Chan Sect.

A hint of coldness first flashed in the eyes of Human Emperor Xuanyuan, then he looked at Wuzhiqi, who was brimming with Battle Intent below, and a playful smile curled at the corners of his mouth.

"Interesting... Since you have come, then you shall serve as whetstones."

Below, Wuzhiqi smashed down with his staff, sending the Taiyi Demon Cultivator flying while vomiting blood, and shouted excitedly:

"Come again!"

In the distance, the four—Immortal Master Yuding and the others—arrived nearby. Seeing this scene, their expressions varied.

Seeing the Demon Cultivator about to perish, Master Taiyi frowned, took a step forward, released the aura of a Late Stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and shouted:

"Ant, this Demon Cultivator belongs to my Chan Sect, retreat at once!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Taiyi quickly raised the Nine Dragons Fire Cover and slammed it towards the Demon Cultivator.

Boom!

Accompanied by a loud noise, the Taiyi Demon Cultivator instantly perished, his Primordial Spirit annihilated by the nine fire dragons.

Wuzhiqi stood there holding his staff, stunned and utterly bewildered.

"Did Teacher not stop them?"

His heart was full of doubt.

Then this doubt lasted only for an instant, and Wuzhiqi raised his staff and smashed it towards Master Taiyi.

"Dare to snatch my prey? Take this!"

Human Emperor Xuanyuan stood high in the sky. Seeing this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, but he did not stop it, just watching quietly.

Below, Master Taiyi saw a kid at the Perfection of Taiyi suddenly rushing towards him. A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he spun the Nine Dragons Fire Cover, intending to envelop Wuzhiqi inside.

"A mere Taiyi, and you dare to fight me?"

Wuzhiqi was fearless, his Battle Intent soaring to the heavens. He smashed his staff onto the Nine Dragons Fire Cover, producing a thunderous roar.

Boom!!!

The two instantly clashed into a battle.

Beside them, Immortal Master Yuding sighed softly:

"Sigh, that Taiyi Cultivator is in for it."

True Lord Qingxu Daode sneered:

"Karma belongs to the capable. That Taiyi was greedy and tried to bite off more than he could chew; he deserves to die."

Heavenly Venerable Wenshu Guangfa started a bet, smiling:

"Senior Brothers, how many moves do you think that Taiyi Cultivator can withstand from Senior Brother Taiyi?"

True Lord Qingxu Daode thought for a moment and said:

"Senior Brother has already used the Nine Dragons Fire Cover; at most ten moves, and Senior Brother will lose interest in playing."

Immortal Master Yuding stood to the side, not speaking, only manifesting the Jade Cauldron Dharma Image above his head, ready to save someone at any time.

Below, the battle between Master Taiyi and Wuzhiqi had entered a white-hot stage.

Wuzhiqi's Battle Intent was monstrous, smashing down with staff blow after staff blow, each carrying earth-shattering Battle Intent.

Although Master Taiyi was dismissive, he gradually put away his contempt. The Nine Dragons Fire Cover transformed into nine fire dragons circling, blocking Wuzhiqi's offensive.

"Junior, interesting! Your power is almost comparable to a weak Grand Unity Cultivator!"

Defending continuously, feeling the damage output of Wuzhiqi, Master Taiyi's interest continued to rise.

Master Taiyi, while defending, became increasingly interested and couldn't help but ask:

"Junior, who is your master?"

High above, Human Emperor Xuanyuan sent a voice transmission:

"Do not tell him."

Although Wuzhiqi did not know Human Emperor Xuanyuan's intention, he complied and replied arrogantly:

"You are not worthy to know!"

Upon hearing this, Master Taiyi, Heavenly Venerable Wenshu Guangfa, and True Lord Qingxu Daode were slightly taken aback.

Immortal Master Yuding's mouth twitched, and the Dharma Image behind him slowly dissipated.

Below, Master Taiyi was so angry at these words that his temper flared up, the power of the Nine Dragons Fire Cover surged, and he switched from defense to offense.

The nine fire dragons roared simultaneously and pounced towards Wuzhiqi:

"How arrogant, Junior!"

"Today, this seat will teach you on behalf of your teacher. Let you understand what the basic cultivation of the weak is!"

Wuzhiqi was fearless, his Battle Intent rising again, and he charged up with his staff.

"Come and fight!"
