"It's not a big deal, but it's not a small one either!" Sage Nakagawa said with a solemn look.
As the master of this land, Sage Nakagawa naturally would not care if only one or two people had such an improvement. But if a group of people had such an improvement, it would be a big problem.
And now it was the Sanqing Sect that was in trouble. The relationship between the Three Pristines Taoist Sect and the Akatsuki was somewhat unclear. After all, the Blue Dragon of the Akatsuki was the personal disciple of the Taoist Ancestor and had obtained the Qi into Three Pristines Skill. With such a relationship, no one would believe that there was no connection between them.
But the problem was that the Three Pristines Taoist Sect was not like other sects. Sage Nakagawa really did not dare to touch this sect easily.
They were not the Heaven First Sword Sect. If their branch sect was destroyed, it would be destroyed. They could only protest. After all, the headquarters of the Heaven First Sword Sect was in the West River Land. They could not reach here and could be easily controlled.
But it was not the case when facing the Sanqing Sect.
Not to mention that the Three Pristines Taoist Sect had a very profound foundation, the inheritance left by the Taoist Ancestor was not as simple as the Three Pristines Taoist Sect. In this vast world, there were at least hundreds of sects related to the Taoist Ancestor's orthodoxy. Among them, there was no lack of powerful existences. These forces usually kept a low profile, but if the royal family dared to attack the Sanqing Sect, these forces would never stand by and do nothing.
"Now that you mention it, I remember one thing," Elder Dao Zhen said with a frown. Elder Dao Zhen frowned. He did not beat around the bush and continued, "One of my disciples had a conflict with a core disciple of Yuan Sect not long ago. My disciple was at the Peak of the Form Synthesis Stage while his opponent was at the Late-stage of the Form Synthesis Stage. However, my disciple was defeated in that battle."
Hearing this, the crowd's pupils shrank.
Elder Dao Zhen's disciple was naturally very talented. Moreover, he had a master who was in the Crossing Calamity Stage to guide him. Logically speaking, his strength should be invincible among those of the same level. How could he lose to a cultivator whose cultivation was lower than his?
"After that, I investigated that disciple and found that he wasn't a particularly powerful genius in Yuan Sect. His talent could only be considered average. However, he was able to defeat my disciple when he was one level lower than him. This made me very curious at that time. However, that disciple of Yuan Sect had already returned to the sect, so it wasn't convenient for me to go to Yuan Sect to investigate. That was the end of this matter and I had almost forgotten about it. However, after hearing what State Preceptor Peony said, I felt that this matter seemed to be very similar," Elder Dao Zhen said with a frown.
"Now that you mention it, something similar has happened in my palace before. However, the other party was from the Lin family." Prince An's face was dark and uncertain as he spoke.
At this moment, as the excavation went deeper, everyone's expression became much more serious.
If it was an isolated case, it could still be explained as a coincidence. However, based on the current situation, this matter seemed to be quite common. This also meant that something had happened in these sects and forces that the royal family was not aware of.
"How could this be … This shouldn't be!!!"
"What kind of spell could allow a person with poor talent to increase his strength so much in such a short period of time? Moreover, it was under the premise that he didn't increase his cultivation."
"This matter seems to be very complicated. The Sanqing Sect, Yuan Sect, and Lin family are not allies of the royal family!"
…
Several people spoke one after another. The more they spoke, the more they felt that the matter was getting serious.
"Don't you feel that this situation is somewhat familiar? Their cultivation is not high, but their strength is extremely strong. Challenging people of a higher level is a common occurrence for them. It's even one of their major characteristics," Alchemist Peony suddenly said.
Hearing this, several people's expressions suddenly changed, and a red cloud appeared in their minds.
"The Akatsuki!" Everyone said the guess in their minds almost in unison.
"That's right, it's the Akatsuki. You should have noticed that those who have increased their strength are those who have a good relationship with the Akatsuki. The Sanqing Sect and Yuan Sect, needless to say, ever since Blue Dragon and Lin An joined forces to kill Lin He, the Lin family can be considered to have leaned towards the Akatsuki. Therefore, their common characteristic is that they have a close relationship with the Akatsuki. If I'm not wrong, the Sky Sword Sect of the Western Stream Continent must have had a similar increase," Alchemist Peony guessed boldly.
"How terrifying! Even though they have been sealed in the World of Immortals, I still feel a chill run down my spine, "Prince Cheng said with an ugly expression.
The strength of the Akatsuki did not lie in the strength of just one person, but in the strength of a group of people. Moreover, they could lead other sects to become stronger as well. If these people were allowed to continue to develop, it would not be long before the royal family collapsed.
"Fortunately! Fortunately, we coincidentally sealed them in the World of Immortals in advance. Otherwise, I'm afraid there would be chaos now, "Sage Nakagawa said with lingering fear.
Thinking about the Akatsuki organization leading these powerful forces to attack Imperial Capital, what kind of scene would that be?
"I'm afraid the Millennium Ceremony this time is not as optimistic as we expected!" Alchemist Peony frowned.
For a moment, everyone fell into silence.
Their good mood was suddenly shattered by this discovery. However, the news of the Millennium Ceremony had already been released. At this time, it was impossible to take it back.
Moreover, the more it was like this, the faster they forced the major forces to lean towards the royal family. Otherwise, when the seeds planted by Hayashikawa took root and sprouted, that would be the biggest threat facing the royal family.
At this moment, Hayashikawa's feelings to the royal family could be described in one sentence. He was no longer in Jianghu, but there were still legends about him in Jianghu.
Hayashikawa, who was sealed in the World of Immortals, could stir up the entire Nakagawa continent with just the foreshadowing left behind. Such a person could no longer be described as a fear.
The only thing that could make everyone feel fortunate was that Hayashikawa now had no hope of making a comeback. Otherwise, they were afraid that they would not be able to sleep and eat in peace.
Sage Nakagawa said with a cold expression, "Let's do it this way. There are many cultivators and disciples under your sect. Recently, let them take the initiative to go out and test the core disciples of the major forces. Once they find a cultivator whose cultivation has not increased but whose strength has greatly increased, let them report back immediately. I want to find out which forces have waited for the Blue Dragon's help!"
The Akatsuki's greatest secret was that they were invincible among those of the same level and even powerful enough to challenge those of a higher level. They did not expect that Hayashikawa would give up such a secret to help the major forces improve. If this was really done, there would be no place for the royal family of Nakagawa!
"Yes!" Everyone answered respectfully.
"You may leave." Sage Nakagawa waved his hand.
After everyone left, Sage Nakagawa sat alone on the throne, frowning.
He really did not know whether it was right or wrong to take this step.
