Yi Qingsong was stunned. "Brother Wu?"
"Don't forget, he is the Sect Leader of the Flying Heaven Faction. Meng Jing said solemnly, "He's the Sect Master, and you're also the Sect Master, so you can't mix public and private matters."
"If that's the case …" Yi Qingsong frowned. "Then why do we have to be careful of Sect Leader Wu?"
"Speaking of which, we are still opponents," Meng Jing said slowly. "All the factions are our opponents, except for the Dancing Butterfly Faction."
Yi Qingsong was surprised. "Why?"
"Every Sect Leader has a mission, to unify the Realm of Heavenly Demons!" Meng Jing said.
Yi Qingsong's eyes widened. "Unify the Realm of Heavenly Demons!"
Meng Jing scoffed. "Why? Can't we do it?"
"I think we once unified the Realm of Heavenly Demons?" Yi Qingsong asked.
"That's right." Meng Jing said, "Since the ancestors could do it, why can't we? Plus, we have a golden opportunity!"
"Arcane Territory?" Yi Qingsong asked.
Meng Jing nodded. "Arcane Territory!"
Yi Qingsong listened attentively.
Meng Jing said, "The Arcane Territory was created by the Heavenly Wind Faction. This is a great opportunity for them. If they can make use of it, unifying the Realm of Heavenly Demons will not be a dream."
Yi Qingsong frowned. "What about us?"
"This is also our chance." Meng Jing said, "The Sect Leader has gone in to investigate and obtained some rare herbs, but it is far from enough. To truly unify the Realm of Heavenly Demons, we must first break the roots of the Heavenly Wind Faction, then replace them with new ones to make the Arcane Territory ours."
"Good idea." Yi Qingsong nodded.
"Good idea, but it is not easy to do." Meng Jing said, "There are two obstacles."
"One is Sect Leader Wu?" Yi Qingsong asked.
Meng Jing said slowly, "One is Wu Yuansi, and the other is the old monsters of the Heavenly Wind Faction. Sect Leader Cheng once plotted to make them fight each other. He wanted both sides to be injured, and then he could take the opportunity to eliminate them. Then, the rise of the Great Dream Faction would be unstoppable!"
Yi Qingsong frowned.
As far as he knew, Wu Yuansi and Sect Master Cheng had a very good relationship. Although they had fought over the Divine Demon Herb, they still appreciated each other's talents. He didn't expect that Wu Yuansi would be so cunning and scheming against him.
Meng Jing said, "Is it because you feel that Sect Leader Cheng is being too unreasonable?"
"… A little," Yi Qingsong said embarrassedly.
"Sigh …" Meng Jing shook his head and said, "This is why Sect Leader Cheng is so admirable. In order to realize his long-cherished wish of unifying the Heavenly Demon Realm, he sacrificed everything he had."
Yi Qingsong said, "Does Sect Master Wu know about this?"
"Wu Yuansi is also a smart man," Meng Jing snorted and said, "Although he was very honest with Sect Leader Cheng, he would never let his guard down."
Yi Qingsong asked, "Elder Meng suspects that Sect Leader Cheng was killed by him?"
"I don't think so." Meng Jing shook his head and said, "He won't kill Sect Leader Cheng, but I don't know if he'll use someone else to do his dirty work, as Sect Leader Cheng and I have discussed."
"Did he also borrow the saber of the Tianfeng Sect?" Yi Qingsong asked.
Meng Jing nodded and said, "Even if you plot against others, it doesn't mean that others won't plot against you."
"Then …" Yi Qingsong frowned.
In the end, he still didn't say anything important. It was just a suspicion, and it was impossible to prove it. Wu Yuansi was extremely intelligent and meticulous. How could he leave a flaw in his story?
"Just pretend that you don't know." Meng Jing sighed and said, "Even if he used someone else to do his dirty work, there's no way to take revenge on him. After all, it was the Tianfeng Sect that did it. Sect Leader Cheng can only blame himself for being careless."
"Is there a way to deal with him?" Yi Qingsong asked.
"Originally, we discussed with Sect Leader Cheng that we can't do it ourselves, as Wu Yuansi's martial arts are too strong. Meng Jing snorted and said, "Now, we'll use this method and wait for Wu Yuansi to fight to the death with the Tianfeng Sect."
"I'm afraid the disciples won't agree to it if we wait for the opportunity." Yi Qingsong sighed.
Meng Jing said calmly, "Sect Leader, you should go into seclusion to accept the inheritance. It won't be too late to come out when the matter between Wu Yuansi and the Tianfeng Sect is resolved."
"… Alright." Yi Qingsong nodded slowly.
Although he felt that he had let his good friend down, when he recalled that it was Wu Yuansi who had snatched his Divine Demon Herb, his guilt dissipated. The Divine Demon Herb was related to whether or not one could cultivate the sect's mental cultivation method to perfection and ascend. Once one ascended, one would gain ten thousand years of lifespan.
Becoming a sect leader did not mean that one could ascend. Sect Leader Cheng was an example. However, if one obtained the Divine Demon Herb, there was a high chance that one could ascend. This loss and gain made one's heart ache, so it was reasonable for him to play tricks on Wu Yuansi.
Chu Li stood at the peak of a mountain and looked down at the formation that Cheng Yuan had set up. If he had not passed by earlier, he would have been fooled. Although Cheng Yuan was dead, the formation was still intact.
Zheng Er and the others had already killed Cheng Yuan, but they admired this formation very much. Hence, they still borrowed it. This way, ordinary people would not be able to discover the existence of the arcane realm, which was more beneficial to the concealment of the arcane realm.
Chu Li felt that sending Zheng Da's head over would be enough to stabilize the Great Dream Sect.
Yi Qingsong had just taken over as sect leader and had two choices. One was to avenge Cheng Yuan, and the other was to cultivate in isolation. Based on Yi Qingsong's personality, he would probably choose the first option. However, after Chu Li sent Zheng Da's head and avenged Cheng Yuan, Yi Qingsong could only choose the second option.
They would definitely guess if Chu Li had killed Cheng Yuan. With this suspicion, it would be easier for him to make the second option.
What he wanted to do now was to buy time and give himself a chance to explore the arcane realm. Then, he would be one step ahead of the disciples of the Flying Heaven Sect to get more magical fruits, improve faster, and become stronger than the Great Dream Sect.
When that time came, all the tricks that the Great Dream Sect had up their sleeves would be useless.
Of course, the Tianfeng Sect was also a big obstacle. The first thing Chu Li needed to do was to get rid of the Tianfeng Sect.
He stood at the peak of the mountain and looked down for a long time. There was no movement below. It seemed that Zheng Er and the others had already entered the arcane realm. They were certain that Chu Li would enter the arcane realm again, so they set up an inescapable trap in the arcane realm.
Chu Li sighed. He really had to enter the arcane realm. He had no other choice.
He appeared in the arcane realm in a flash. He was already in the valley. The Spirit Wolf was howling at the sky. Sensing Chu Li's presence, it turned its head to look at him, then turned and left lightly.
Chu Li smiled. As expected of a Spirit Beast, its senses were sharp and it knew when to hide. Knowing that it was no match for the wolf, it immediately dodged. His Omniscient Mirror had already seen that Zheng Er and the others were on the cliff above the Green Dragon Pond.
They had set up an ambush in the same place. It was obvious that they had figured out Chu Li's temper. A proud person like him would definitely get up from where he fell, so they were certain that he would go back.
Chu Li was indeed very interested in the Green Dragon Pond. He wanted to know what mysteries there were in the pond below. It might be an opportunity for him, just like when he met the Evil Nether Dragon and obtained its help.
He was not afraid of the green dragon, but the surrounding moss and the pond below, as well as the strange void. However, the more he was afraid, the more he wanted to understand. The next moment, he appeared behind Zheng Er.
Zheng Er did not notice him. He was still sitting on a rock and reading a book. Chu Li could only cough softly.
Zheng Er turned around and was greeted by a black light. Then, he was swallowed by the darkness. He was dead, and his head rolled on the ground.
Chu Li looked at the head and Zheng Er's body. He wanted to see how Zheng Er was resurrected.
