Even though there had been a violent tremor on that day, and nearly a hundred people had witnessed the god-like appearance of Supreme Lord Tian Lan in the underground city, this news did not spread throughout Zhenxianmeng in the end. This was not an easy task for Zhenxianmeng, which was already like a sieve, because both Supreme Lord Tian Lan and Xue Ying had given the order to keep it a secret after the incident. This also proved that the hundred people that Xue Ying had brought with her this time were reliable enough, and no one had leaked the news to the outside world.
However, although outsiders did not know the specifics of what had happened, it did not mean that no one had noticed anything strange. In the True Immortal Alliance, which was the world's largest vanity fair of intrigue, spying on each other and infiltrating each other were common occurrences. Even the guards at the entrance of the tunnel were actually spied on by some unknown people both openly and secretly.
Needless to say, Xue Ying had suddenly gathered her elite subordinates, and there were quite a few of them. This was a huge commotion, and it immediately alarmed many people and forces, causing them to pay attention to this place. After all, Fuyunji was currently the most powerful hall in the limelight, and it was the place that all the major forces valued the most.
What was Fuyunji doing? What were they doing underground?
Within a day, this question had become the question in the hearts of many forces and leaders in Zhenxianmeng. Probing and investigations regarding this matter had also begun without batting an eyelid.
The leader of Zhenxianmeng's Grand Chancellor, True Lord Guang Bo, had a somewhat controversial reputation in the world of cultivators for many years. As one of the six True Lords of Zhenxianmeng, of course, he had a respectable status, and was worthy of the phrase 'high position and power'. However, for so many years, he had been in charge of Zhenxianmeng's money and power. Rumors of corruption and borrowing money to make money had always been heard, and voices of criticism could often be heard on the streets.
True Lord Guang Bo had always scoffed at such a phenomenon, and bitterly hated it. He claimed that he had worked his heart out for Zhenxianmeng, used the great hopes of the world to prosper the Raising Immortals Union, supported the weak, rewarded the heroes, and made great contributions to the growth of Zhenxianmeng. He even said that without him, Zhenxianmeng would not have been able to develop to such a strong state today. Not to mention that without his strong financial support, probably Zhenxianmeng and Fuyunji would not have been able to completely defeat the remnants of the Evil Cult.
When such a great credit was put on his head, True Lord Guang Bo did not feel embarrassed or hesitated at all. At his level, he had everything, so what did it matter to chase after a little fame?
But recently, True Lord Guang Bo found that he seemed to have thought wrong before. He felt that he did not have enough fame and fortune!
The title and reputation of the most powerful person in the world, the most powerful person in the Immortals Union, did not belong to him, but to Tianlan who always wore a big bald head?
There were so many treasures, gold and silver. Didn't it say that the wealth of the major sects in Zhenxianmeng should be managed by the Grand Chancellor? Why did all the major sects, especially Fuyunji, dare to seize so much?
They despised the golden rule set by Zhenxianmeng that year. They were all ambitious and treacherous officials!
If I don't come out to uphold justice, won't it be like a long night without light?
"Why does the world look a bit chaotic?" Perfected Lord Guang Bo suppressed the surging and scorching thoughts in his mind, took a sip of tea, and said to Perfected Lord Gu Yue.
The two of them were drinking tea in a secluded garden behind the Starry Hall. There was no one in the garden, and True Lord Guang Bo had deliberately hidden his tracks and came here quietly.
True Lord Gu Yue looked at him and poured another cup of immortal tea for him, then smiled and said, "Why, Brother Guang Bo cares about the world so much. Did you see any injustice again?"
"There are many injustices in the world!" Immortal Guang Bo said to him bluntly, "Let's talk about the last time we met with Old Man Tie Hu. I should have been the leader. After all, I was the one who organized everyone to do this big thing, but the two of you pushed me aside. It's really sad."
True Lord Gu Yue nodded with a smile and said, "Speaking of this, I still admire Brother Guang Bo very much. It's great that you can look at the big picture."
True Lord Guang Bo sneered and said, "What big picture? Don't say such things in front of us. The reason why I temporarily endured it that day was because of the look you gave me at the end. Today, I'm here to hear what you have to say about me. If it's really the same old nonsense, don't blame me for turning against you. "
True Lord Gu Yue nodded and seemed to have no intention of beating around the bush. He said directly, "Okay, Brother Guang Bo is a straightforward person, then I'll be straightforward." He pointed to a direction far away from Mount Tianlong and said, "Let's cut to the chase and speak the truth. Based on the current strength of the Fuyun Office and Tianlan, do you, me, Tie Hu, as well as the Golden Dragon and Drifting Cloud clans have the capability to contend against them?"
True Lord Guang Bo frowned and stared at True Lord Gu Yue for a moment, then said lightly, "Not a single one."
…
"That's it." True Lord Gu Yue said to True Lord Guang Bo, "Now that Fuyunji is powerful and in the limelight, this is the reason why we have to secretly form an alliance to fight against them. If that's the case, when there's a battle in the future, the one who is at the forefront will probably suffer the most, right? "
True Lord Guang Bo was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, his eyes brightened and said, "You mean to let the old man Tie Hu go to the front to block them?" But then he shook his head and said, "The old man Tie Hu is a cunning old man, he won't be fooled so easily."
True Lord Gu Yue said lightly, "Since he's the leader and wants to get the biggest share of the benefits, I'm afraid it won't be justifiable if he doesn't put in the most effort. If that's the case, we can just say that we're all breaking up. I don't believe that Tie Hu will really give up those things that he has already marked as his territory. Moreover … "He smiled and continued," When it really comes to that, everyone will have already turned against each other. Tianlan will definitely know that the leader of our side is Tie Hu. If the situation suddenly changes and we quit, don't you think Tie Hu will panic? Do you think Tie Hu will dare to deal with that lunatic Tianlan alone? Will he have no choice but to try his best to maintain this alliance and put all his assets on the table to fight with all his might? "
True Lord Guang Bo stared at True Lord Gu Yue for a while and suddenly gasped. He said, "Good plan! Brother Gu Yue, I've really underestimated you in the past. "
True Lord Gu Yue waved his hand and said, "It's just a small trick. You and I are close friends. All these years, the Grand Chancellor has taken good care of the Star Hall. That's why I'm telling you these things. I hope you won't blame me, Brother Guang Bo."
True Lord Guang Bo laughed and said, "Not at all. We'll do as Brother Gu Yue says."
After that, he pondered for a moment as if he suddenly thought of something. He then said, "Oh yes, speaking of this, I wonder if you also felt the movement at the foot of Sky Dragon Mountain? It should be caused by Tianlan, right? "
