The world is turning upside down
Inside the Flying Immortal Gate, there was not a sound.
What Yue Ji said was too astonishing.
Everyone was digesting the information she had provided.
After all, that was the True Demon Inheritance.
Once obtained, even if one could not reach the height of a True Demon in the future, it would still allow a person to become an existence transcendent in the world.
Yet, something like this, she actually said, was merely bait released.
This was truly too incredible.
For a time, everyone was considering the gains and losses.
Undeniably, this True Demon Inheritance undoubtedly possessed a fatal allure for the world.
But no matter how precious something was, if one lost their life, what was the use of having it?
Of course, not everyone believed what Yue Ji said.
A white-haired, youthful-faced Elder asked in a deep voice, "Grand Elder, you said that the True Demon Inheritance is bait used for a setup to catch fish, but I wonder, what evidence do you have to prove it?"
This person's name was Hao Cang, the head of the Divine Sword Peak lineage!
The power structure of the Flying Immortal Gate was similar to that of the North Demon Cave.
There were eight lineages in total!
The Divine Sword Peak lineage was one of them.
Among the eight lineages, the Flying Immortal Peak lineage, where Yue Ji resided, was considered the most esteemed.
However, any Sect that existed for a long time could not avoid the emergence of power struggles.
This Divine Sword Peak lineage had always wanted to replace the Flying Immortal Peak lineage.
The relationship between the two sides could not be considered harmonious.
Therefore, Hao Cang's words carried a rather unfriendly tone!
Facing the questioning, Yue Ji merely said indifferently, "Does Peak Master Hao Cang not believe me?"
Hao Cang gave a noncommittal smile: "It is said that one's heart is separated by a belly."
"Grand Elder's empty words are indeed very difficult to convince people!"
"After all, who knows if this is not a lie concocted by someone."
"The purpose is just to intimidate others and enjoy the fortune alone!"
As soon as these words came out, the minds of the people from the eight lineages varied.
Even though they knew Yue Ji's character well, at this moment, they could not help but begin to doubt her intentions.
After all, in front of such a supreme treasure, no one could remain calm!
Only the people of the Flying Immortal lineage were extremely angry.
"Hao Cang, old scoundrel, don't think of people's hearts as dirty as yours."
"What kind of status does Grand Elder have? Is she someone you can question!"
"That's right!"
"Our Flying Immortal lineage asks ourselves, our actions are open and above board, with no regrets in our hearts."
"If you don't believe us, then go die yourself, don't implicate your fellow disciples and make them pay for your stupidity with their lives!"
Soon, what was originally a proper meeting gradually turned into a verbal battle between the two lineages.
"What the hell are you talking about!"
"The Peak Master's words are a righteous and straightforward statement."
"Are you all so eager to bite people because the Peak Master hit a sore spot?"
Soon, the verbal battle escalated, turning into mutual greetings of family members.
It was clear that not all high-level cultivators were transcendent.
When it came to their own interests, their greetings, because of their long lives, were more than a notch above those of ordinary people.
Seeing the dispute between the two sides intensify.
Yue Nantian, the Sect Master of the Flying Immortal Gate, who was seated on the throne, shouted in a deep voice.
"Enough!"
"You are all high-ranking members of the Flying Immortal Gate, what kind of decorum is this, making such a ruckus?"
As the Sect Master became angry, the previously extremely fierce verbal battle immediately ceased.
Clearly, Sect Master Yue Nantian's prestige in the Flying Immortal Gate was still quite strong.
Seeing the verbal battle stop.
Yue Nantian's gaze swept across the entire hall, finally stopping on Hao Cang.
"Hao Cang, it's undeniable that there are frictions between the Flying Immortal lineage and the Divine Sword Peak lineage."
"But the two lineages come from the same source."
"Now is not the time to act on impulse."
"Many things, it's better to believe they exist than not."
"How about we let this matter rest here?"
Hao Cang sneered: "Sect Master, your words are easy to say."
"But for me to give up the True Demon Inheritance, it's impossible!"
"It's true that there are some truly reclusive powerhouses in this world."
"But those people are all figures whose Dragon heads are seen but not their tails."
"Grand Elder is truly lucky, she just happened to encounter such a master."
"And she can even discern the cause and effect of such an existence's actions!"
As he spoke, he looked at Yue Ji mockingly.
Clearly, he didn't believe what Yue Ji said was true from the bottom of his heart.
Hearing this Yin and Yang tone, even with Yue Ji's good temper, her expression couldn't help but turn cold.
"Hao Cang, if you don't believe me, you can go ahead."
"There's no need to insinuate here!"
"But I warn you, this journey is a near-certain death, if you die, no one will collect your body, so don't complain about others!"
These words made Hao Cang laugh incessantly.
In his opinion, Yue Ji's reaction clearly showed she was getting anxious.
This made him even more convinced that the so-called setup was nothing more than a deceptive rhetoric.
Thinking of this, he felt much better and said with a smile.
"Thank you for your concern, Grand Elder!"
"But don't worry, since I began cultivating the Dao, I have experienced countless great storms and waves."
"The person who can kill this old man in this world hasn't been born yet!"
As he spoke, his gaze shifted to Sect Master Yue Nantian.
"Sect Master, with the True Demon Inheritance appearing, every moment of delay carries the risk of it being taken by others."
"If the Flying Immortal lineage doesn't want to participate in this True Demon Inheritance struggle, then our Divine Sword Peak lineage will go first!"
As he spoke, without waiting for Yue Nantian's agreement, he had already led the way out of the main hall!
It was clearly to gather people and contend for the True Demon Inheritance.
As Hao Cang left, the remaining Peak Masters of the other lineages also had their own thoughts.
However, their relationship with the Flying Immortal lineage was still acceptable, far from as stiff as that of the Divine Sword Peak lineage with the latter.
Therefore, although they had some doubts about what Yue Ji said, they had already believed it by fifty percent.
After all, Yue Ji had no need to lie to everyone.
A Peak Master confirmed again: "Grand Elder, are you truly not deceiving us?"
Yue Ji said earnestly: "If you all don't believe me, I am willing to make a Heavenly Dao oath!"
"Today, if I have spoken even half a lie, I shall suffer the punishment of body destruction and soul annihilation!"
"Hiss..."
As soon as this Heavenly Dao oath was made, everyone gasped in unison.
The Heavenly Dao oath, the higher one's cultivation, the more effective its binding power.
Since she had sworn on her life, even if everyone didn't want to believe it in their hearts, they had to believe it now.
After all, no one would joke with their own life.
At the same time, Hao Cang had already soared into the sky with the high-ranking members of the Divine Sword Peak lineage.
Clearly, they had already assembled and were just waiting for a command to go all out!
After all, they were fellow disciples, Sect Master Yue Nantian watched them leave quickly through the hall door, and couldn't help but transmit a message over a thousand miles to advise them.
"Hao Cang, Yue Ji has even sworn by the Heavenly Dao, what she said is not false.
This journey might encounter many difficulties.
Regarding the struggle for the True Demon Inheritance, why not consider it at length!"
However, what greeted him was a domineering and arrogant laugh.
"Sect Master, there's no need to say more."
"If anything goes wrong, I will bear it alone."
"Even if we die, it will be our own fault, and no one else can be blamed."
It is said that wealth entices the heart, and treasures move the soul.
At this moment, his mind was filled with the True Demon Inheritance, how could he listen to any advice?
In response, he led the high-ranking members of the Divine Sword Peak lineage to accelerate with all their might.
In just a moment, they disappeared into the horizon.
They didn't even look back at the Sect.
Seeing this scene, a Peak Master frowned and said, "Sect Master, according to what the Grand Elder said, that True Demon Inheritance site must now be a place of Dragon's Pond and Tiger's Den."
"Are we truly just going to watch the people of the Divine Sword Peak lineage leave like this?"
"Should we intercept them?"
Yue Nantian kept tapping his fingers on the table. After pondering for a moment, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it!"
"Although what Yue Ji said is not false, some things are just her guesses."
"The True Demon Inheritance was not necessarily moved by human intervention, perhaps the person she saw only played an auxiliary role."
"It may not really pose any danger."
That Peak Master said again: "But, what if it is true?"
"The Divine Sword Peak lineage is one of the eight lineages, once it suffers losses, it will be a bone-deep pain for our Flying Immortal Gate!"
Yue Nantian: "With Hao Cang's strength, he is top-tier even in the entire Northern Region."
"If even he encounters problems, then the Northern Region will truly undergo a drastic change."
"Other Sects will also be not far from total annihilation."
"This situation should not happen, there's no need to worry too much."
As soon as these words came out, an Elder immediately asked in confusion: "Sect Master, since you think what Elder Yue Ji said is wrong, then why don't we proceed according to the original plan? Send more people, wouldn't that give us more confidence in contending for the True Demon Inheritance?"
Yue Nantian smiled calmly: "It's rare for Yue Ji to be so serious."
"How can we ignore it?"
"Moreover, our Flying Immortal Gate has a Legacy of profound methods passed down from ancient Immortals, although the True Demon Inheritance has a great reputation, its effect on our Flying Immortal Gate is not as great as imagined."
As he spoke, he waved his hand.
"This matter ends here, no need to discuss it further."
"If there's nothing else, you may all disperse!"
A meeting thus came to an end.
Everyone left with their own thoughts.
However, their obsession with the True Demon Inheritance was not as strong anymore.
Only Yue Ji was a bit unhappy.
She had even made a Heavenly Dao oath, but the people of the Sect seemed not to believe her deduction much.
Of course, she had no intention of arguing.
Time would prove everything.
She had a premonition that the appearance of the True Demon Inheritance this time would surely turn the entire Northern Region upside down!
