Chapter 756: Chapter 755 [Bei Lengshi’s Shocking Conspiracy]

[PS: The first update of today has been delivered. Request for subscription!!!]

Xie Yuhe appeared just as Qing Chengyue had encountered Dongfang Meng; now, except for Tianshuang’er, the three great beauties of the Ancient Martial Sects had all gathered. Prior to this, they had fought each other once, all in the name of honor for their respective Sects. But this time was different, they all understood the importance of the greater situation at hand. Besides, there was no deep enmity between them, so as long as there was no absolute necessity to fight, letting go of past conflicts was relatively easy. Everyone in this survival-of-the-fittest Martial Arts Great World knew that having one more friend was far better than having one more enemy. Only those with boundless ambition and narrow-mindedness would bully others relying on their powerful cultivation and kill indiscriminately, acting against humanity.

”Make friends? What do you mean?” asked Qing Chengyue with a glance at Xie Yuhe.

”As everyone knows, Bei Lengshi of the Songshan Sect is treacherous and vicious, filled with ambition, and wants to become the ruler of the Ancient Martial World. Each of us here can represent a Sect. Who would want to be at someone’s beck and call, to be ordered around? Most importantly, if Bei Lengshi’s conspiracy succeeds, our long-standing Ancient Martial Sects are likely to face extermination!” Xie Yuhe earnestly said, looking at Qing Chengyue and Dongfang Meng.

”Extermination? Don’t you think you’re exaggerating a bit too much?” Dongfang Meng asked with feigned nonchalance.

”I am not exaggerating. According to the intelligence held by the Flying Knife Sect, the reason Bei Lengshi wants to rule the Ancient Martial Sects is to incite the other Sects into attacking Sun Never Sets Mountain...” Xie Yuhe also said with furrowed brows.

”What? Attack Sun Never Sets Mountain?” Qing Chengyue could no longer keep her composure, asking in surprise.

”This... is insane. Does he want to send all the Ancient Martial Sects to their deaths?” Dongfang Meng was also shocked.

”Correct. He wants to use the lives of the Martial Artists in the entire Ancient Martial World to fulfill his own schemes. Once he becomes the ruler of the Ancient Martial World, he will certainly put such plans into action swiftly. There will always be Sects that are kept in the dark, always those who are swayed. There’s no need for me to explain what kind of place Sun Never Sets Mountain is to you two...” Xie Yuhe said solemnly.

Hearing Xie Yuhe’s words, Ye Tianchen too was shocked, furrowing his brows and even clenching his fists briefly. He had thought that Bei Lengshi merely wanted to be the ruler of the Ancient Martial World to find some Cultivation Methods, to gather the strength of the entire Ancient Martial World in search of Divine Arts, Treasures, or perhaps Immortal Elixirs. He had not anticipated that Bei Lengshi’s scheme was to have the other Ancient Martial Sects attack Sun Never Sets Mountain, sending them to their demise – an utterly mad plan.

What kind of place was Sun Never Sets Mountain, there were no people who understood it better than Ye Tianchen, Dongfang Meng, and Tianshuang’er. Leaving aside whether the Great Demon sealed at the heart of Sun Never Sets Mountain by Emperor Ao Kong’s Mixed Element Bell was still alive, the Great Demons of the Demon Clan and the Fierce Beasts of the Ancient Alien Race that still lurked around the mountain were formidable beyond imagination. If any of these were to emerge, the Ancient Martial World would be thrown into chaos. These thousand-year-old demons and Ancient Alien Races were terrifyingly powerful. For reasons unknown, they had never left the vicinity of Sun Never Sets Mountain. Otherwise, Earth would have long lost its peace and the Ancient Martial World would have been engulfed in bloody turmoil – how could it have possibly waited until now?

In the current Ancient Martial World, although there are still some long-standing Ancient Martial Sects and some hidden powerful experts, perhaps even including Great Elders in certain Sects, these people are after all elderly and could pass away at any moment. Thus, their combat power, even if formidable, is limited and can’t match the Demon Clan and Ancient Alien Race within Sun Never Sets Mountain. Additionally, if the Great Demon that Emperor Ao Kong sealed at the center of Sun Never Sets Mountain with the Mixed Element Bell truly survives in some form, then anyone entering there is courting death, unless an Emperor Realm powerhouse intervenes. Otherwise, even during the heyday of Earth’s cultivation era, if all the Cultivation Immortal Sects attacked together, it would be a vain sacrifice, only adding more bones to the interior of Sun Never Sets Mountain.

”Why? Why would Bei Lengshi do this? He wants everyone to march to their doom...” Qing Chengyue couldn’t help but speak with some anger.

Xie Yuhe looked around, then spoke: ”This is not a good place to talk. The Flying Knife Sect, just like your Yaochi Sect and Ancient Tomb Sect, doesn’t want Bei Lengshi’s plot to succeed. However, after so many years, the Songshan Sect has grown too powerful, and Bei Lengshi has reached the Martial Saint Stage in his cultivation realm - he’s not someone that just anyone can handle. So, we need to band together in our common cause. Follow me to a safe place to talk!”

After finishing her speech, Xie Yuhe flew off toward another direction halfway up the hill. Qing Chengyue and Dongfang Meng looked at each other and then followed using Qi Manipulation Flight. Naturally, Ye Tianchen followed closely behind. Having arrived here, despite his urgency to find out where Tian Boguang was being held, he also wanted to understand Bei Lengshi’s conspiracy thoroughly. This was very much related to him, Ye Tianchen, as he too was a member of the Ancient Martial World.

Following Xie Yuhe, they had no idea how far they had traveled through Qi Manipulation Flight when Xie Yuhe finally stopped. Ye Tianchen realized they had arrived at a small pavilion. Inside the pavilion was a stone table with four stone stools. Xie Yuhe smiled and said, ”Please take a seat, the three of you. That you have followed me here shows that our goal aligns, to prevent Bei Lengshi from becoming the ruler of the Ancient Martial World.”

”Now you can tell us, why is Bei Lengshi’s grand conspiracy to deceive all the Ancient Martial Sects into attacking Sun Never Sets Mountain!” Qing Chengyue said.

”Alright, the reason Bei Lengshi wishes to do this is that his personal cultivation has reached a bottleneck. Fifty years ago, he was already a high-level expert at the Early-stage Martial Saint level. However, fifty years have passed, and he is already approaching two hundred years of lifespan. His cultivation has not progressed, and if things continue like this, he won’t live much longer. He desires Eternal Life, to extend his lifespan even further. For this reason, over the years, he continuously sent his confidants to search every corner of the Ancient Martial World for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, to refine Pills in hopes of prolonging his life. However, Earth’s Spiritual Energy has long since been depleted, making it unsuitable for cultivation. Even if such Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures existed, their effectiveness is almost negligible, not extending Bei Lengshi’s lifespan...” Xie Yuhe said with a cold laugh.

”So Bei Lengshi has set his sights on Sun Never Sets Mountain?” Dongfang Meng asked.

”Exactly, Sun Never Sets Mountain is a land of great peril that no one has ever dared to enter. Even on Earth during the heyday of cultivation, no powerful being dared to venture there, except for an unmatched Great Emperor, who would have the courage and might. Otherwise, it is certain death for anyone who goes. Yet, everyone knows that within Sun Never Sets Mountain, there might be Immortal Elixirs and Immortal Scripture Divine Skills that everyone desires. Not long ago, Devil Sounds were transmitted from within the mountain, which also set off the ringing of the Mixed Element Bell. This has made Bei Lengshi sense an opportunity. He wants to venture into Sun Never Sets Mountain to search for Immortal Elixirs and Immortal Scriptures, but fears that he might perish there. Thus, he thought of a strategy, which is to gather the strength of all Martial Artists in the Ancient Martial World to assault Sun Never Sets Mountain. In this way, if they succeed, the benefits will all go to Bei Lengshi, and if they fail, it will only be others who sacrifice their lives, while Bei Lengshi reaps the benefits.” Xie Yuhe revealed Bei Lengshi’s scheme all in one breath.

”That’s so ruthless, to disregard the lives of all Martial Artists in the Ancient Martial World, all for the sake of prolonging his own lifespan...” Qing Chengyue shook her head.

”I hadn’t expected Bei Lengshi to be so heartless and brutal, to make so many Martial Artists his stepping stones, his funeral objects. We must not let his scheme succeed, or it will be a great disaster for the entire Ancient Martial World!” Dongfang Meng also said angrily.

Ye Tianchen glanced at Xie Yuhe and then asked with some confusion, ”May I ask where Fairy Xie Yuhe obtained this information?”

”What, you don’t trust me?” Xie Yuhe looked coldly at Ye Tianchen as she asked.

”Oh, that’s not it. It’s just that Bei Lengshi’s grand scheme being known to you and me so easily seems a bit strange!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

Xie Yuhe too was startled. The news had indeed come from someone else, but she absolutely trusted this person who told her, as they were certain to be reliable—none other than Jiang An, her senior elder brother from the Flying Knife Sect.

”This matter was informed to me by my senior elder brother; there can be no mistake!” Xie Yuhe asserted confidently.

”Yes, it was me who found out while undercover in the Songshan Sect. If this lady harbors doubts, you may choose not to believe it!” Just then, Jiang An arrived flying over through Qi Manipulation Flight. Upon hearing the conversation between Ye Tianchen and Xie Yuhe, he said slightly angrily.

Dongfang Meng looked at Ye Tianchen; she knew what he was thinking, but under the current circumstances, questioning this piece of information would surely cause enmity between the Flying Knife Sect and the Ancient Tomb Sect and leave Qing Chengyue unsure about what to believe, which would hinder their joint effort to stop Bei Lengshi from taking control of the Ancient Martial World. So Dongfang Meng quickly said, ”Senior Brother Jiang An, do not be angry. We are just being cautious, after all. The Songshan Sect is powerful, and Bei Lengshi’s cultivation is profound; there might be many things we cannot foresee.”

”I know what you are concerned about, but the information is absolutely true. Moreover, I can tell you that in tomorrow’s Ancient Martial World convention, only the strong will have the right to speak, or else, those without power might lose their lives the moment they open their mouths!” Jiang An said with a grave voice.
