Chapter 112: The Relief of the Seal God Palace 【Extra Chapter for Alliance Leader Luo Yiyun】
This was the only message Fang Che sent to the Seal God Palace over the course of a month.
There were more than a dozen messages.
The Seal God Palace didn't reply to any of them, but when Fang Che broke through the seventh rank, they sent Mu Linyuan to deliver some spirit medicines for foundation strengthening and vitality cultivation.
The last message.
After Fang Che sent the message about breaking through the Primordial Grand Master rank...
The Seal God Palace was handling sect affairs, and when they took out the communication jade, they couldn't help but brighten at the news. They slammed the table and exclaimed, "Excellent!"
The people below were all startled.
The Grandmaster had been in a foul mood, but now he was cheering. What happened?
During this time, the Seal God Palace had been going through a period of mixed emotions, feeling both depressed and happy.
In the previous battle at Black Pine Forest, the Unified Heart Sect had positioned the Seal God Palace's people at the rear, while those sent to the frontlines were mostly from Ren Zhongyuan's group.
As a result, the Seal God Palace's main forces were able to retreat quickly with minimal losses.
However, Deputy Grandmaster Ren Zhongyuan's forces suffered a staggering thirty percent casualty rate! Ren Zhongyuan was deeply depressed.
And upon their return, they were scolded by the Seal God Palace, "You were given command of these people, and in such dangerous times, you didn't order a retreat? Are you an idiot?! Losing so many skilled fighters, who are the core strength of our sect, how can we make up for this? How can we report this to the higher-ups?"
"I..."
Ren Zhongyuan felt like he was eating bitter herbs, unable to voice his grievances.
The main sect then began to hold them accountable.
During the retreat, both the Seal God Palace and Ren Zhongyuan had the cultivation to join the battle and restrain the situation, but neither of them did.
This led to an irreversible outcome.
It wasn't just the Unified Heart Sect; the Night Demon Sect, Bright Light Sect, and other sect leaders also didn't take action.
As a result, the entire Southeast Circuit was reprimanded by the main sect! Everyone was feeling depressed.
Even the Circuit Inspector of the Southeast Circuit was severely reprimanded.
This made everyone even more frustrated: they hadn't even been informed of the fundamental reasons for this operation.
They were only ordered to kill here.
They blindly carried out their mission, creating a scenario where a treasure was unearthed, and the easiest way was to leave behind a powerful cultivator's cave abode.
Who would have thought that the truth would be uncovered, and the protectors would send their elite forces to intercept them.
This resulted in a significant defeat for the Only Me Sect.
It was said that the main sect was furious and was thoroughly investigating the traitor.
How was the information leaked? In any case, this message couldn't have come from the subordinate sects, as they were unaware of the real situation.
Therefore, the problem must have originated from the main sect!
It was rumored that the capital of Xin Chu, Black Turtle City, was now in a state of high alert, with the entire headquarters searching for the traitor.
They had actually discovered several secret strongholds of the protectors in Xin Chu, leading to a major battle with flames soaring into the sky. After annihilating the opposition, a large area had been reduced to ruins.
The Seal God Palace was grumbling.
"What's going on? What's the purpose? Nothing is explained, and we're expected to execute the mission. When things go wrong, they blame us subordinates!"
"When did we ever say we should join the battle? That's the Arsenal Catalog's battle; what use would we be up there?"
Of course, he could only say this within his own sect. He wouldn't dare speak of it outside.
Because the Seal God Palace did have the strength to join the battle, and although they might not compare to those ranked in the Arsenal Catalog, they could still hold their own against ordinary Palace Guardians and other high-level experts.
They could even take on two opponents at once.
But there was a silver lining; the Seal God Palace used this opportunity to severely weaken Ren Zhongyuan's strength.
And in their anger, they directly dismissed the Battle Hall's Hall Master, replacing them with someone nominally loyal to them.
At this moment, the Seal God Palace's emotions were a tangled mix of depression, secret joy, relief, and frustration, making their temper even more unpredictable.
They constantly vented their anger within the main headquarters, using any excuse to kill, and eliminating Ren Zhongyuan's forces silently.
When Fang Che's message arrived, the Seal God Palace was gathering the sect's high-level members for a meeting, and they had just killed one of Ren Zhongyuan's confidants, a Hall Master of the Battle Hall who had the potential to become a Deputy Hall Master.
The entire hall fell silent.
It was at this moment that Fang Che's message arrived.
The Seal God Palace's eagle-like eyes glared at those below, and they said coldly, "All Halls, conduct your own investigations. If I see any more negligence or lack of ambition, there will be no mercy!"
Then they immediately returned to the inner hall.
Ren Zhongyuan had been scolded throughout the entire meeting, and his depression knew no bounds.
Finally, the meeting concluded.
Ren Zhongyuan walked out of the main hall, gazing at the sun in the sky. The sunlight felt like a thousand arrows piercing his eyes.
He let out a sigh and strode away.
Many people emerged from the hall, their faces devoid of expression, each heading in a different direction.
And then...
They quietly made their way to Ren Zhongyuan's residence.
"Deputy Grandmaster, it seems the Grandmaster has discovered something."
A man with a goatee had a pale face.
He looked extremely apprehensive.
Although he had sided with Ren Zhongyuan, the Seal God Palace's notorious reputation and formidable authority made everyone fear their methods.
Ren Zhongyuan hummed as he looked down at the twenty-odd people below, speaking calmly, "In these past few days, I've also had some suspicions."
"Grandmaster, you must have discovered something..."
Ren Zhongyuan's voice carried a heavy tone, "The losses we've suffered while carrying out tasks, and those we've eliminated during the internal crackdown, are all our own people. It's too precise!"
"Then what should we do? Could it be that Grandmaster has obtained the specific list?" One person's face turned pale.
"Impossible. Even we ourselves don't have the specific list." Another person refuted.
"Grandmaster, what should we do?"
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Ren Zhongyuan.
The Unified Heart Sect was different from the Palace Guardians. If there was an internal rebellion among the Palace Guardians, and someone wanted to replace them, the worst that could happen was a transfer, unless there were serious consequences, in which case they would be executed.
However, if a rebellion occurred within the Unified Heart Sect, then only one side would be completely wiped out, and only then would this matter be concluded.
In other words, either the Seal God Palace and its people would be annihilated, or Ren Zhongyuan and his followers would meet their end.
There was absolutely no third outcome.
"Calm down, don't be hasty."
Ren Zhongyuan said with composure, "I'll report this to the higher-ups first, and then we'll make a decision."
"Okay."
Ren Zhongyuan's heart was filled with worry, there was something he hadn't mentioned.
He knew that the Seal God Palace had a high-ranking mole within the White Cloud Martial Academy, and this person was also a trusted confidant of the Seal God Palace. Ren Zhongyuan didn't know who it was.
So, he selected a few promising candidates to enter the White Cloud Martial Academy for study.
He hoped that they would have a chance to come into contact with this high-ranking figure, allowing him to confirm the person's identity. This feeling of uncertainty made Ren Zhongyuan uncomfortable.
But recently, he received news that one of the candidates had been executed.
Moreover, it was an internal execution by the Unified Heart Sect.
And it even implicated the candidate's family, who were uprooted.
This made Ren Zhongyuan feel an even greater sense of crisis: Could this also be the doing of the Seal God Palace? Or was it the high-ranking mole within the White Cloud Martial Academy taking action? If that was the case... what did it signify?
...
At the same time, Mu Linyuan floated outside the study of the Seal God Palace.
"Grandmaster."
"Come in."
"Grandmaster, your calculations are truly remarkable. Those traitors secretly went to the Deputy Sect Leader's residence."
The Seal God Palace hummed, "Who are they, and how many are there?"
"There are quite a few, a total of more than twenty."
Mu Linyuan said, "Out of the more than sixty people who were in the main hall, over twenty went to the other side! These ungrateful things!"
"There might be more."
The Seal God Palace hummed, "Let me first handle the matters at hand, and see if I can get some benefits for the headquarters. As for Ren Zhongyuan, let him continue for now."
"If we want to move against Ren Zhongyuan, we must also be prepared for the hidden arrows that may come after."
Now, the Seal God Palace was becoming increasingly cautious, and due to the early discovery, various arrangements had been made, making Ren Zhongyuan's rebellious actions even more clear in the eyes of the Seal God Palace.
Precisely because of this clarity, the Seal God Palace's confidence grew.
If the timing had been right, they would have been able to uproot him completely.
...
At that moment, the Seal God Palace took out the communication jade, a smile on his face.
"Old Mu, do you know what level the Night Demon has reached now?"
"Last time, he had just broken through to the Second Rank of the Great Master, and now he should be... the Eighth Rank of the Great Master."
Mu Linyuan intentionally exaggerated a bit.
After all, only a little over a month had passed.
Even for a genius, breaking through to the Sixth Rank would be an incredible feat.
"Hehe."
The Seal God Palace spoke calmly, "The last time I sent resources, he had already reached the Seventh Rank. Now, the Night Demon has broken through to the Primordial Grand Master."
He curled his fingers, saying, "There are three and a half months left until the Incubation and Deification Plan; in three and a half months, the Night Demon will likely break through to the General Rank! If he continues at this pace, reaching the First Rank General should be no problem. As for reaching the Second Rank, it depends on luck."
Mu Linyuan was shocked and quickly congratulated, "Grandmaster, your blessings are truly boundless. I never imagined that such an almost impossible goal would have a chance of success. It's truly unexpected."
"However, this little brat keeps sending me messages, and it's driving me crazy." The Seal God Palace made a gesture of annoyance.
"Grandmaster, how about letting him send messages to me from now on?" Mu Linyuan offered, puffing out his chest, "I can handle it... he'll grow up eventually."
The Seal God Palace began to frown, "Then we need to carefully consider the materials the Night Demon requires. He has progressed step by step, and aside from Foundation Strengthening and Vitality Cultivation items, he hasn't used any other materials to enhance his cultivation."
He gently tapped his fingers on the table, saying, "This guy has great ambitions. So, what suggestions do you have?"
