More than a year had passed in the Five Directional Pagodas, which was equivalent to twenty days in the outside world.
During these twenty days, many things happened in the Qing Yun Sacred Mountain, causing the people in the Qing Yun Sacred Mountain to panic and fight among themselves.
As for the cause of all this, it started more than twenty days ago when the core disciples of several sacred mountains moved into the Qing Yun Sacred Mountain.
On that day, Qin Yongjun vacated several peaks in the Qing Yun Sacred Mountain and allowed the core disciples to move in.
The masters and elders of the sacred mountains then carried out the third step of their plan, which was to sow discord between the disciples of the Qing Yun Sacred Mountain and bewitch the disciples of the Qing Yun Sacred Mountain into thinking of betrayal.
In the beginning, the disciples of the Qing Yun Sacred Mountain were extremely disgusted by their instigation and bewitchment.
However, the human heart was always suspicious. Under the bewitchment of nearly a hundred thousand disciples, some of the disciples of the Qing Yun Sacred Mountain who were less resolute began to waver.
As the hearts of these disciples wavered, the hearts of some of the more resolute disciples began to waver as well.
Over time, these disciples began to harbor thoughts of betrayal and became dissatisfied with the Qing Yun Sacred Mountain.
Seeing these disciples' thoughts of betrayal, the disciples who were still loyal to the Qing Yun Sacred Mountain were naturally disgusted and despised them.
Soon after, the disciples of the Qing Yun Sacred Mountain were divided into two factions. One faction leaned towards the sacred mountains while the other was firmly loyal to the Qing Yun Sacred Mountain.
After the disciples of the Qing Yun Sacred Mountain were divided into two factions, it didn't take long for the internal conflicts between the disciples to become more and more intense.
Soon, the disciples of the Qing Yun Palace, the Heavenly Lake Sacred Mountain, the Ghostfetus Clan, and the Overlord Sacred Mountain gradually split into several factions.
They were the Qing Yun Faction, the Overlord Body Faction, and the Heavenly Lake Faction. The Qing Yun Faction was formed by the disciples of the Qing Yun Palace and the Ghost Fetus Clan. The Overlord Body Faction was formed by the disciples of the Overlord Body Divine Mountain, while the Heavenly Lake Faction was mainly formed by the disciples of the Heavenly Lake Divine Mountain.
Among them, the Qing Yun Faction was loyal to the Qing Yun Divine Mountain while the Tyrant Body Faction and the Heavenly Lake Faction were loyal to the other divine mountains.
In addition to these three factions, there was also a faction composed of the disciples of the Heavenly Pool Sacred Mountain and the Tyrant Divine Mountain. This faction was also loyal to the Qing Yun Divine Mountain.
After the emergence of these factions, the internal conflicts between the disciples of the Qing Yun Divine Mountain became more and more intense.
Gradually, some of the elders who were able to maintain their calm began to show some changes in their state of mind. Some of them began to betray the elders of the Divine Mountains.
When this happened, Supreme Xu Chao and the others realized the severity of the situation and began to viciously deal with the internal strife within the sect.
A portion of the disciples of the Qing Yun Divine Mountain who had been bewitched, as well as the disciples of the other divine mountains who had instigated the internal strife within the Qing Yun Divine Mountain, were all forcefully expelled from the Qing Yun Divine Mountain.
However, what Supreme Xu Chao and the others didn't expect was that not only did their actions fail to quell the internal strife, but they also caused it to become more and more intense.
At this moment, the Mountain Chieftains of the other divine mountains saw that it was about time and stood out one after another to express their support for the rebellious disciples.
When the Mountain Chieftains of the other divine mountains joined the fray, it became extremely difficult for Supreme Xu Chao and the others to deal with the internal strife.
At this moment, in the conference hall.
"Eldest Senior Brother, what should we do now?"
Seeing that the internal strife within the Qing Yun Divine Mountain was getting more and more serious, Qin Yongjun asked Supreme Xu Chao with a grave expression, "If this continues, I'm afraid the Qing Yun Divine Mountain will split apart."
When Qin Yongjun finished speaking, Supreme Tie Tou, who was standing to the side, had a grave expression on his face as he said, "That's not all. During this period of time, many elders have been bewitched by the four divine mountains and have begun to rebel. It seems like they have all been bought over by the other divine mountains."
Supreme Tie Tou's face darkened as he said furiously, "These traitors! If I had known they would do this, I would have let them die at the hands of the Sky Sword, Sky Spear, and Beast Tamer Divine Mountains."
Supreme Tie Tou had discovered that the majority of the elders who had betrayed the sect were from the Overlord Divine Mountain.
The reason why the elders of the Overlord Divine Mountain had betrayed the sect so easily was mainly because the elders and disciples of the Overlord Divine Mountain didn't have much of a sense of belonging to the Qing Yun Divine Mountain.
Moreover, ever since the unification of the Qing Yun Divine Mountains, they had always felt that they were inferior to the disciples of the Qing Yun Palace and the Heavenly Pool Divine Mountain.
This feeling made them very unhappy. They felt that there was a clear hierarchy within the Qing Yun Divine Mountain.
The noblest ones were undoubtedly the disciples of the Qing Yun Palace. In fact, they were the disciples of the Heavenly Pool Divine Mountain. The Overlord Divine Mountain was the last.
As for the clansmen of the Ghost Fetus Clan, they weren't included because they weren't human cultivators.
"I've long guessed that the people of the divine mountains would be restless. I shouldn't have been so kind as to take them in."
Qiu Ye was furious when he thought about the actions of the divine mountains. He urged Supreme Xu Chao, "Eldest Senior Brother, let's inform Master about this. I believe that as long as Master shows up, he'll definitely be able to subdue them."
"That's right. The reason why the people of the divine mountains are so arrogant is because they think that we can't suppress them with our cultivation."
Supreme Tie Tou quickly nodded when he heard Qiu Ye's suggestion. He also felt that it was time to inform Mo Qingyun.
Supreme Xu Chao turned to Qin Yongjun and Huang Guan when he heard Tie Tou and Qiu Ye's words. He asked, "Palace Master Huang Guan, Yongjun, what do you think?"
"I also feel that we should inform Master. Otherwise, the Qing Yun Divine Mountain will really split apart."
Qin Yongjun agreed with Qiu Ye's suggestion when she heard Supreme Xu Chao's question. She also felt that it was time to inform Mo Qingyun.
Huang Guan fell silent for a moment when he heard Qin Yongjun's words. He then said coldly, "In my opinion, we should kill all the disciples who are causing trouble. The reason why they're not afraid is mainly because you're too merciful."
When Huang Guan was in charge of the Mystic Yin Sect, he was known for his treachery, ruthlessness, and coldness. In his opinion, it was more direct to suppress the rebels with an iron fist.
Supreme Xu Chao and the others immediately frowned when they heard Huang Guan's suggestion. Although they felt that Huang Guan's words made sense, they were instinctively unwilling to do so.
After all, many of the disciples involved in the rebellion were former disciples of their sects.
Moreover, none of the disciples involved were from the Ghost Fetus Clan. That was why Huang Guan could speak so casually.
"Since that's the case, let's inform Master about this!"
Supreme Xu Chao decided not to waste any more time when he saw that everyone was suggesting to inform Mo Qingyun. He decided to look for Mo Qingyun immediately.
Just as Supreme Xu Chao was about to look for Mo Qingyun, a half-Holy Exalt Realm elder walked into the meeting hall with a heavy expression.
Supreme Xu Chao immediately had a bad feeling when he saw the elder's tense expression. He hurriedly asked the elder, "Elder Gu Yi, what happened?"
"Mountain Lord, something big has happened!"
Cold sweat appeared on Elder Gu Yi's forehead when he heard Supreme Xu Chao's question. He said in a deep voice, "Not long ago, the disciples involved in the rebellion went to the Mo Clan's side courtyard to cause trouble. They even injured a member of the Mo Clan."
Supreme Xu Chao and the others shuddered when they heard Elder Gu Yi's words. A strong sense of foreboding rose in their hearts.
