Although Dao City was very safe, he didn't let his guard down completely. He kept a third of his consciousness outside, constantly observing the situation.
He saw the city lord enter the city lord's manor to discuss matters with Venerated Dao. He hoped that Venerated Dao could hand over Xiao Yang, but Venerated Dao refused. The city lord left dejectedly.
He also saw Venerated Sun's true disciple lead several assassins into Dao City, then infiltrate the Spirit Qi Pavilion, preparing to assassinate Xiao Yang's group.
But before they could get close to Xiao Yang's group, the Spirit Qi Pavilion's experts secretly eliminated them.
Xiao Yang knew that Venerated Dao and Dao City's city lord were behind this. This was an explanation for Xiao Yang. After all, they'd colluded with Venerated Sun to deceive Xiao Yang.
They also knew that Xiao Yang must've seen it all.
Xiao Yang blinked, his lips curling into a faint smile. "This Venerated Dao is interesting," he murmured.
Given Venerated Dao's principles today, once Wu Zun of the Poison Sect arrived, Xiao Yang would have no reason to cause trouble for him.
After letting go of this knot in his heart, Xiao Yang slowly closed his eyes and sank back into cultivation.
The Spirit Qi Pavilion was a great place to cultivate, especially in the number one cave abode. Xiao Yang had only cultivated for half a day, but he could clearly feel the increase in his strength.
The Bloodthirsty Iceworm, Skysoar Ox, Flamingo, Dragoness, and Star City's city lord would benefit even more.
Dao City's city lord's manor.
After finishing his business, the city lord went to report to Venerated Dao.
Seeing that Venerated Dao had no intention of speaking, the city lord asked, "Venerated Dao, will we be able to obtain Senior Xiao Yang's forgiveness by doing this?"
Venerated Dao didn't comment.
The city lord frowned and thought for a moment, then slowly said, "Xiao Yang isn't a petty person. I'm afraid he's already forgiven us. But how should we explain things to the Sun Moon Sect?"
"Explain? That won't happen. "
Dao Master sneered and his eyes lit up.
At this moment, the Sun Moon Star Sect was probably so busy that they couldn't even protect themselves. How could they have the energy to pursue the Dao Sect? Instead, it was very likely that they would ask the Dao Sovereign for help.
"Don't worry. When the time comes, the Sun Moon Star Sect will beg us to take them in."
Daoist Venerable calmly instructed.
He was thinking if the Sun Moon Star Sect asked to be taken in, would he be able to reap great benefits from it? Or, would he be able to incorporate the Sun Moon Star Sect?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but grin. He closed his eyes and began to deduce the possibilities of this plan.
Sun Moon Star Sect, Main Hall.
Venerable Sun, Venerable Moon, Venerable Star, and all the pavilion masters gathered together.
Immediately, a Pavilion Master stood up and reported, "Supremacy, Dao City is not cooperating with us and has rejected our request. They will not hand over Xiao Yang. Furthermore, the assassins we sent out were all killed by the Dao Sect's experts. According to our spies, the Dao Sect is trying to get on Xiao Yang's good side. This isn't good for us. "
Venerable Moon, Venerable Star, the pavilion masters, and the senior managers all frowned when they heard the report, their expressions grave.
The Poison Sect was already hard enough to deal with. If the Dao Sect showed goodwill to Xiao Yang, it was very likely that the Sun Moon Star Sect would be attacked from both sides.
Venerable Sun chuckled and calmed everyone down. "Don't worry, I've already discussed this with the Dao Sovereign. Once the Sun Moon Star Sect is defeated, we can enter Dao City to hide from our enemies. The Dao Sect will remain neutral and the flames of war won't affect us, unless the Poison Sect also plans to fight the Dao Sect. If that happens, then the Sun Moon Star Sect can ally with the Dao Sect. If the Poison Sect doesn't have the courage to fight the Dao Sect, then we'll be safe in Dao City. With this path of retreat, everyone can fight in peace. "
Hearing this, the dozens of managers in the main hall heaved sighs of relief. They'd also been afraid that the Sun Moon Star Sect would be destroyed because of this.
Venerable Moon smiled faintly and looked around at the managers. "Everyone, the Poison Sect won't be arrogant for long. We've already notified the Jigō Sect. The Jigō Sect will definitely send a powerhouse to help us."
Everyone present burst into laughter.
The ten great sects of the lower flow realm might seem impressive and awe-inspiring, ruling over hundreds and thousands of cities, but they were all under the Jigō Sect's control. Once the Jigō Sect interfered, any sect would have to lower their heads and compromise.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, Venerable Star asked, "Alright, tell me, where's Wu Zun of the Poison Sect?"
A pavilion master in charge of intelligence calmly walked forward and said, "Venerable Star, there's still one night before they reach Dao City and East City."
"Are you sure they're heading for Dao City and East City?"
Venerable Star asked with a frown.
"I'm sure, Venerable Star. They're here for Xiao Yang."
The intelligence pavilion master nodded solemnly.
Everyone began to discuss in low voices, making a racket in the main hall.
Venerable Sun said calmly, "Silence."
Everyone in the hall quieted down.
Then Venerable Sun said, "We'll make two preparations. One, strengthen the east city's trump card, and the other, strengthen the sect's defenses. Also, keep an eye on the Poison Sect's four martial ancestors. "
Everyone obeyed and left.
Venerable Sun's arrangements were necessary. If they couldn't make peace in Dao City and East City, they'd fight there.
If they lost there, they'd retreat to the sect.
They'd never abandon the sect and flee to Dao City and Dao Sect until the very last moment.
Poison Sect, Sect Head Peak.
Lan Jiaoye and Gu Qianqian had long finished cultivating and refined the golden origin pills Xiao Yang had given them. Their cultivations had risen by a level.
When they woke up and wanted to look for Xiao Yang, they realized that Xiao Yang was no longer in the Sect Master's Peak.
The two women couldn't help but grumble and grumble. Their beautiful eyes were filled with resentment, and they even went to complain to the sect head and his wife.
The sect head's wife, Ling Long, burst into laughter. As a woman herself, she naturally understood the two women's thoughts. She consoled them and calmed them down a little.
Gu Qianqian and Lan Jiaoye didn't leave the Sect Leader's Peak. Instead, they waited there for Xiao Yang's return. However, after waiting for several days, there was still no news of Xiao Yang. Impatient, they walked down the Sect Leader's Peak.
When they were about to leave the Sect Master's Peak, they activated a teleportation array.
It was the transmission formation Xiao Yang had set up at the last minute. It was a one-time use formation, mainly used to transmit messages.
Thus, the two women received the jade slip Xiao Yang had left behind.
They glanced at it and knew where Xiao Yang had gone. He'd gone to look for a pet beast and hadn't brought them along. This made them grumble angrily.
Then they went to complain to the sect head's wife, Ling Long, about Xiao Yang's location.
