Chapter 1207 Killing two birds with one stone

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent again.

If the Crystal Palace was unexpected, setting up a formation in Mingmin Mountain was quite difficult, the massacre in Brahma City was bloody and cruel, the Canghai Sect was extremely vicious in stealing people's spiritual roots, and its attempt to revive the ancient times was just wishful thinking; but the Youye Sect...

As one of the three major sects in the New Apollon world, Youye Sect has stood in the west for thousands of years, and has all kinds of "monsters and ghosts" among its disciples. In a real fight, it is much more courageous than the hypocritical Taixu Palace. How could it be set up as a formation point to absorb gold elements?

It's not like Mingmin Mountain - although it is within the sphere of influence of Taixu Palace, it is still some distance away, and usually no one pays attention to this barrier-like stone mountain.

The headquarters of the Youye Sect! There are countless monks inside! Even if the highest realm is the split spirit, it is still the split spirit of the demigod!

Yu Sinian, a formation cultivator who is in the stage of building his foundation, and Lin Fan, a cultivator who has only been practicing for a year, can both see the Five Elements Biochemical Formation. It is impossible that no one in the Youye Sect has discovered it, right?
If the previous four points had already made everyone believe in the real existence of the Five Elements Biochemical Array, then the last location of the Youye Sect made the credibility of this matter plummet.

But even though it's unbelievable, everyone's minds still start to wander unconsciously.

"Is the Youye Sect rich in golden spiritual veins?" Shen Xiuyuan asked with a frown.

"My brother," Du Xingyu covered his face, "Who among our big sects doesn't have several spiritual veins? Even our Changtian Sect has two golden spiritual veins!"

"But the problem is," Mu Jingjing tilted her head, "if someone really was secretly stealing energy from the spirit vein, the sect would definitely find out, right?"

Not to mention that there is a formation under the sect itself, the spiritual power provided by the spiritual veins has been basically stable and constant for thousands of years. If there was a sudden change, it would have been discovered long ago.

"Perhaps due to time constraints, the Youye Sect has not had enough time to prepare for this move?" Shen Xiuyuan suggested a possibility.

"Or maybe there is an insider in the Youye Sect?" Du Xingyu rubbed his chin and put forward another bold possibility.

"That's impossible!" Mu Jingjing didn't believe it. "Returning to ancient times would most likely subvert the present world. What good would this do for the Youye Sect, which is already one of the top three sects? They don't care about rankings as much as the Taixu Palace does. Although they are competitive, most of them are also fighting for a foothold for themselves!"

Jintong nodded vigorously.

Yes, the Youye Sect fought for so many years to gain such a status. What do they want to do by overthrowing it all with one move and returning to the ancient times?

Lin Fan himself was confused and said hurriedly, "Maybe it's just a coincidence. I'm overthinking. All of this is based on our speculation and imagination. Maybe it's all false."

However, once thoughts take root in the brain, it is extremely difficult to eradicate them.

"You don't need to worry about it. We are just making reasonable inferences." Yu Sinian had already thought about it in his mind. "It's also very simple to prove it. Just find evidence."

Du Xingyu crossed his arms and said, "Regardless of what happens in Brahma City, if we find a device like the Crystal Palace in Mingmin Mountain and find related clues in Canghai Sect, then four out of five will become possible."

"Is there a device like the Crystal Palace down here?" Mu Jingjing punched the rock wall, but it didn't move at all. "This rock is too hard. To expand such a large space... is there really someone with such terrifying abilities?"

"It may not be the same as the Crystal Palace," Lin Fan said, "it may be some other form of device that does not require too much space. The passage we are in now does not seem to have been formed recently. Perhaps the other party only needs to make use of it according to local conditions and may not have much ability themselves. Otherwise, there would be no need to hide it like this." "That makes sense." Mu Jingjing nodded.

"If we infer from this result," Yu Sinian continued, "if the incident in Brahma City is indeed related to the Five Elements Biochemical Array, then... the imperial power is also involved."

"No!" Du Xingyu grabbed his hair fiercely. "They are not so bold, are they? Even if those shady cultivators they used have some concerns about the imperial power, but going back to the ancient times! By then, the entire cultivation world will be overturned. What's the use of a mortal with no ability, even if he has the highest power and status, sitting on the Golden Dragon Throne? Even if he is the emperor, he may not die much later than others."

"If that's the case..." Jin Tong hesitated, "The emperor of Mortal Realm has colluded with Youye Sect?"

"Impossible!" Shen Xiuyuan shook his head. "The secular imperial power has always offered sacrifices to the sects. Although they have some preferences for different sects in private due to the location of their territories, they are all the same on the surface. Besides, we cultivators don't care about things that mortals think are precious!"

That's right, we are no longer on the same path. Jin Tong shut up.

"Don't look down on mortals," Yu Sinian shook his head in disapproval, "We were all mortals before. Although their abilities are not as good as those of cultivators, it is precisely because of their weak strength that they think of many more twists and turns than cultivators in order to survive better and gain a higher status."

"That's true." Du Xingyu curled his lips, "But it still doesn't explain what the Human Emperor's motives were if he really participated?"

"Is it possible?" Lin Fan said, "They are just participating in a certain stage of the process for a short period of time, enjoying the benefits of killing two birds with one stone, and they don't want to go all the way to the end."

"What do you mean?" Shen Xiuyuan asked.

"I have always felt that the imperial power is too weak in front of the Immortal Gate," Lin Fan said, "They pay tribute on time, but are inferior to the Immortal Gate. Even in the city defense, the Immortal Gate's watchtower is higher than the government office of the city management agency, and can easily see everything inside..."

"Isn't this normal?" Mu Jingjing was puzzled. "For thousands of years, ordinary people have been doing this spontaneously to thank the immortal sect for its contribution to the new world."

“That’s the problem,” Lin Fan shook his head slowly. “The Immortal Sect is used to being high and mighty, but they call themselves the emperor. After countless battles and taking the highest position, they still have to bow down to the cultivators and make offerings… They can only call themselves the emperor, because the number nine is nine in the Immortal Sect…”

"Are you saying that the Human Emperor is going to rebel?" Mu Jingjing's eyes widened. She had never thought of this possibility.

"Lin Fan is saying," Yu Sinian already understood what Lin Fan meant, "the Human Emperor may have had a long-standing grudge against the Immortal Sect, but he is powerless to resist, so he has been keeping a low profile. He just happened to encounter such an opportunity, so he gave it a try. If he fails, it won't be a problem for them, because they are going to kill the people of Brahma City anyway. If he succeeds and reduces the power of the Immortal Sect, the Human Emperor will have a chance to turn things around."

"If you put it that way..." Shen Xiuyuan pondered, "It's logical, but it's not right. It's still the same question. If we can really go back to the ancient times, when the world is turned upside down, the first to die will not be mortals. With the strength of the immortal sects reduced, how many people will be left in the secular world?"

"So the Human Emperor just wants to take advantage of the situation." Lin Fan said, "Most people would find this kind of thing unbelievable. The Human Emperor only needs to weaken the Immortal Sect, and probably doesn't believe that he will really return to the ancient times. Or, he can't execute it to the end."

"Moreover!" Yu Sinian lowered his eyes, "If it really comes to that, how could the immortal sect not protect the mortals? Don't forget, in the war of annihilation, there are far more mortals who survived than cultivators who survived..."

"Good fellow!" Du Xingyu smashed his fist against his palm, "What a good calculation! As long as the Human Emperor ensures that he doesn't die, he doesn't care whether others die or not, right?"

"Has the sect conducted any follow-up investigation into the matter of Brahma City?" Mu Jingjing asked.

Shen Xiuyuan shook his head: "I don't know. We didn't get any news before we left the sect. Is it possible that Master and the others have already discovered it?"
