Tan Yun appeared to be deep in thought as he said, “The Holy Gate’s nine meridians, and the old fossils over there, have you found out anything?”
Huangfu Guchong replied honestly, “Reporting to the sovereign, the chief of the Holy Gate Danmai, Gongsun Yangchun, has a background that is quite questionable.”
“The Holy Gate’s Artifact Lineage, Talismans Lineage, Formation Lineage, and Beast Spirit lineage…”
“Moreover, among the old antiques in seclusion, some are also included in my subordinate's focused investigation!”
Upon hearing this, Dantai Xuanzhong sneered repeatedly, “It's true that the Huangfu Sacred Sect is a piece of fat meat, but do these pests and scheming spies really think I, Dantai Xuanzhong, am easy to bully?”
While sneering, Dantai Xuanzhong thought of the enemies lurking within the sect, and his mood became extremely heavy.
He was keenly aware that the current Huangfu Sacred Sect was like a carriage on the edge of a cliff. If the grass was stirred, and the spies hidden in the sect were killed, it would undoubtedly trigger a chain reaction. At that time, if the forces behind the spies were angered, this carriage could very well plummet off the cliff and be shattered to pieces!
He also understood that this nearly out-of-control carriage of the Huangfu Sacred Sect needed to be pulled back from the cliff with reins!
And those reins were “time!”
He needed time to uncover the forces behind the spies!
He longed for more time, so that under his rule, the Huangfu Sacred Sect could slowly return to a normal trajectory after being brought back from the brink of chaos, and then he could capture the forces behind the spies all at once!
He also knew that only a reckless person would act against the countless forces laid out like chess pieces in his sect at this moment!
Life is like chess, and the game is like chess. At this moment, Dantai Xuanzhong was playing a game!
He was not lost in the game; instead, his thoughts were exceptionally clear!
He was lying in wait, cracking the chessboard, while simultaneously manipulating other games!
Because he had also placed his own eyeliners lurking in the Eternal Immortal Sect and the Divine Soul Celestial Palace…
Dantai Xuanzhong rubbed his tightly furrowed brows and pointedly asked, “Is there any situation over there?”
Huangfu Guchong's expression was grave as he respectfully replied, “Reporting to the sovereign, according to the information relayed by the eyeliners in the Divine Soul Celestial Palace, Zhuge Yu returned to the palace two months ago after leaving the Eternal Immortal Sect and summoned the high-ranking officials of the palace to discuss how to cooperate with the Eternal Immortal Sect to deal with our sect.”
“Although I am still unsure when the Divine Soul Celestial Palace and the Eternal Immortal Sect will strike against our sect, it is inevitable that our Sacred Sect will have a confrontation with the two ancient sects eventually. I speculate it will be in a century.”
“Additionally, members of the assassination organization lurking outside the Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range have also sent messages. In the next few hundred years, there will definitely be a great war among the four great sacred dynasties. Before the war, they are likely to attempt to lay claim to our Fallen God Canyon, as well as the Abyss of the Buried Gods in the Eternal Land and the Battlefield of the Gods in the Divine Soul Celestial Palace.”
“They wish to search for divine weapons and other cultivation resources from the relics of the three divine sites, using them as capital for the ongoing confrontations between the sacred dynasties. In other words, within a millennium, the Heavenly Punishment Continent will inevitably face a calamity of immense suffering!”
Upon hearing this, Dantai Xuanzhong frowned and nodded, “Hmm, I understand. You may leave now, and remember to report any news in a timely manner.”
“I understand. I take my leave.” Huangfu Guchong's words had just ended, and like a ghost that had no shadow and vanished, he disappeared without a trace.
