Chapter 454 -453: The members of Heaven’s Court are all of the Righteous Path, how could they be of the demonic sect?_1

“You are the Master of Heaven’s Court?!” Qiu Jin’an jumped to his feet, eyes widening in disbelief, his voice raising by several octaves.

Others had a similar reaction, even the host of Suspension Temple seemed unsettled, fearing that a smirk at the corner of Yun Zhi’s mouth meant treachery. They were afraid she would say something like “This concerns the million-year plan of Heaven’s Court, there could be no mistakes,” while eliminating all five of them.

A ripple of confusion spread across Yun Zhi’s calm eyes.

You asked my opinion about Heaven’s Court, and I offered my honesty, why the excessive reactions?

Seeing their strong reactions, Yun Zhi felt the need to explain: “Friends, don’t be alarmed, Heaven’s Court is an internal organization of the Seek Dao Sect, it is safe and trustworthy. It was suggested by my junior brother Lu Yang, the intent was to infiltrate the Nine Nether Sect.”

“Lu Yang?”” Qiu Jin’an and Luo Hongxia were aware of who Lu Yang was, but Emperor Xia, the host of Suspension Temple, and the Sect Leader of Prison Suppressing Sect were unfamiliar with the name.

Lu Yang was undeniably gifted, even when facing cultivators who had previously disbanded their cultivation and started over, he remained calm and victorious. But due to his low cultivation level, he wasn’t in the radar of these eminent personalities.

Of course, if he stood out as an ancient history scholar, he would certainly be famous.

Although Lu Yang was credited with the feat of obliterating the Eternity Sect, no one believed that a mere Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator like him had any role in it, seeing as Yun Zhi had also taken part in the battle.

“Lu Yang is the latest disciple of my master, my junior brother. He is extremely talented in magic skills and cultivation, he played a crucial role in the elimination of the Eternity Sect.”

Everyone was surprised. For Yun Zhi to praise his magic skills and using an extreme compliment, how terrifying must Lu Yang’s talent in magic skills be?

What did Fellow Daoist Yun say? She said Lu Yang played an extraordinary role in the elimination of the Eternity Sect. Could it mean that Lu Yang was indeed the key factor leading to the Eternity Sect’s destruction?

What was Lu Yang’s cultivation level then, and how did he manage to do that?

Qiu Jin’an also confirmed Lu Yang’s talent, saying, “I have met Lu Yang before, he is indeed a rare genius, and his domestic ideas are out of the ordinary. He has once defeated a Great Yu Unification stage cultivator who had started over after disbanding cultivation in a same-realm battle.”

“Defeat a Great Yu Unification stage cultivator who started over after disbanding cultivation?!” Luo Hongxia covered her mouth in surprise. They all showed exceptional talent when they were young, but achieving this would still be challenging.

“That’s not all, during the exchange between the Five Elements Sect and the Seek Dao Sect, it was mentioned that Lu Yang is exceptionally powerful. With a cultivation level at the Foundation Establishment Stage, he fought above his level and managed to defeat cultivators of the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Spirit Transformation phases!” Qiu Jin’an declared excitingly. This news was even more shocking than defeating a cultivator who started over after disbanding cultivation.

“Fellow Daoist Yun, is it true?”

Yun Zhi hesitated uncommonly before finally nodding, further increasing the astonishment among the crowd.

Yun Zhi felt the topic had been derailed and needed to be brought back: “I am the Master of Heaven’s Court. There are nine Heavenly Kings as protectors, including the Grand Elder to the Eighth Elder, and our Master who is unaware of his inclusion in Heaven’s Court.”

“Additionally, there are Lu Yang, Meng Jingzhou, Tao Yaoye, Man Gu, and Li Haoran, the five new disciples of the Seek Dao Sect.”

Avoiding any mention of Fairy Eternity, Yun Zhi continued: “You have some misunderstanding about Heaven’s Court. As the Seek Dao Sect follows the Righteous Path, all members of Heaven’s Court, all of whom are part of the upper echelons and seeds from the Seek Dao Sect, can’t possibly be from demonic sects, can they?”

Said in Yun Zhi’s most reasonable tone, since all Heaven’s Court members are Righteous Path cultivators, Heaven’s Court naturally belongs to the Righteous Path powers as well.

𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The five’s eyes twitched. They were cornered due to their status and generation and not in a place to contradict Yun Zhi.

“And this Dou Celestial Being…”

Qiu Jin’an stopped mid-sentence, recalling what the Master of the Nine Nether Sect had said: Dou Celestial Being controls the stars like beans.

The celestial stars are Yun Zhi’s golden cores, in that case, Yun Zhi would naturally be able to manipulate the stars!

Furthermore, the battle achievement of being invincible in the same realm and fighting three alone, Yun Zhi could totally pull it off by using the power of the State Destiny!

And Lu Yang was Yun Zhi’s junior brother, and Yun Zhi protected him whenever he left the sect.

Everything lines up! It all lines up!

Everyone present was quick-witted and it didn’t take them long to realize, Dou Celestial Being was Yun Zhi.

Although Yun Zhi did not provide a direct answer, they tacitly understood, and it did not matter that she didn’t confirm it.

“Heaven’s Court has already gained the trust of Nine Nether Sect, so I request everyone to refrain from acting against Nine Nether Sect for the time being, lest we spook them.”

“Very well,” came the smiling agreement from the others. Now that they knew Heaven’s Court comprised their own people, the situation had become much easier to handle.

“Heaven’s Court and the Nine Nether Sect have reached preliminary co-operation, with Heaven’s Court providing technology and the Nine Nether Sect providing manpower and resources. Together, we have started a barbecue restaurant and it is just beginning to take off. The more followers at the barbecue restaurant, the less likely the Nine Nether Sect will do evil. Therefore, I hope the imperial court can develop some favorable policies for the catering industry to covertly assist the barbecue shop’s development.”

Emperor Xia pondered. Boosting the catering industry would encourage tax payments and benefit the people, it was a good move.

“This can be done.”

“That’s good, there’s one more thing. I obtained some intelligence from Wu Youdao and his companions while they were in the Seek Dao Sect.”

Everyone had an understanding look; of course, Yun Zhi was in Hanshui City, how could she let Wu Youdao and his companions slip away?

Yun Zhi reiterated the intelligence given by Wu Youdao, and everyone turned solemn.

“As I suspected, Great Yu has dared to scheme for the State Destiny. They must have an Immortal’s strength.” Upon hearing about the realms of the two Imperial Teachers, Emperor Xia was not surprised. He merely snorted coldly.

Great Yu’s target was to replace Great Xia. Knowing the State Destiny was created by an Immortal and still daring to have such ambitions proved that Great Yu also had an Immortal!

“Great Yu’s next target is Ji State, which is in Central Plain, populated with many cities. It may be challenging for the imperial court forces to conduct a thorough search. Therefore, I request the Immortal Sects to lend a hand.”

To discover traces of Great Yu, at least Unification stage cultivators were needed. The imperial court had quite a number of Unification stage cultivators, but could not allocate all of them to Ji State as other areas also required Unification stage cultivators to guard.

Moreover, the overall quality of the Immortal Sects’ Unification stage was better than the imperial court. If they encountered Great Yu’s cultivators, they would have ample time to react and send a message.

“Considering the stability of Great Xia, the Five Elements Sect won’t just sit by and do nothing.”

“The same goes for the Prison Suppressing Sect.”

Apart from the host of Suspension Temple, the immortals all expressed their support in succession.

The host of Suspension Temple could only nod continuously, signalling that they had the same stance.

He was somewhat troubled, the Silent Zen was indeed hard to practice, he had the urge to speak several times but managed to resist.

It was easier dealing with Daoist Buyu, all he needed to do was act, without speaking a word.
