The Rise of the Sect: I am the most persistent person in the world of immortal cultivation

He wiped the sweat from his forehead. Everyone knew that this Dao Ancestor possessed unparalleled combat power and had friends all over the world.

Now he holds a high position within the Dao Alliance.

The Jianghai Alliance matter doesn't even require this Dao Ancestor to step in and support him.

As long as Elder Zuo and the others know that the Dao Ancestor's shadow is behind them, they have already achieved a complete victory.

"Please take another look, Dao Ancestor."

Thinking of this, Lan Tao flicked his sleeve, and a jade slip flew out from his sleeve. After the jade slip was unfolded, a three-dimensional Dao diagram immediately appeared.

Ye Yang looked up and saw that it was a map of the waterways of the Three Rivers and Nine Rivers.

As the spiritual energy flowed after it was unfurled, a dark, silted-up spot appeared in the Lancang River section.

"After the Jinlin Sect's betrayal, the Lancang River veins have been corrupted by demonic energy."

Lan Tao Daoist lightly tapped the array diagram with his fingertip, and the array diagram immediately trembled violently.

"The Jianghai Alliance is now facing a life-or-death crisis. If the Golden Scale Sect is invaded by the Demon Clan, our Jianghai Alliance will be reduced to ashes."

Lan Tao suddenly knelt down and kowtowed.

"I beg the Dao Ancestor to save the disciples of the Jianghai Alliance! If the Dao Ancestor helps me ascend to the position of Alliance Leader, I will swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao to be a vassal of the Flying Heaven Sect for eternity!"

"Oh?"

Ye Yang gave a half-smile.

"What are Elder Lan's thoughts on the current internal situation of the Jianghai Alliance?"

Lan Tao lowered his voice excitedly.

"This junior possesses a demonic array. If it is fully activated, the Dao Ancestor can simply stand by and watch until they are both severely weakened."

He paused, his fingertips tracing the air as if outlining the path of slaughter. "With just a word from the Dao Ancestor, I can use the pretext of 'eliminating the demonic threat' to transfer Elder Zuo's elite troops away from headquarters, and then use the charge of 'treason' to surround and kill the core of the Abandoned Sect. As for the forces wavering in the middle..."

A cold, sharp smile curved his lips.

“The Sanjiang River basin is full of dangerous places. Send them to ‘guard’ the magma fissures, and their disloyalty will disappear in less than three months.”

The cave suddenly fell silent.

Ye Yang stared at the flowing water vein spiritual energy in the array diagram, and instead of answering the other party's question, he suddenly asked.

"I've heard that the Jianghai Alliance has a law enforcement hall, and its leader, Bai Yuan, is quite famous."

Lan Tao's expression changed drastically: "That fellow is stubborn and incorrigible! Such womanly compassion... if the Dao Ancestor favors him..."

But as he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something, that such a tone was disrespectful to Ye Yang, so he quickly shut his mouth, took a step forward, and lowered his voice.

"Dao Ancestor, you are wise! Elder Zuo's faction clings to the old rules and regards the Flying Heaven Sect as a major threat; the Abandoned Faction wants to take away resources and surrender to the Demon Clan. If these two factions are not eliminated, Bai Yuan will be more trouble than he is worth, and he is also cowardly. If he takes power, the Jianghai Alliance will never have peace."

Ye Yang's gaze darkened slightly.

Lan Tao's plan was ruthless, straightforward, and unscrupulous. He framed his colleagues by accusing them of "colluding with the enemy" and used the "dangerous place" to eliminate dissidents. Moreover, it was not hard to hear from his words that the other party seemed to have connections with the demon race.

Otherwise, where did the demon array diagram come from?

He pressed on calmly.

"What if the Dao Alliance holds you accountable, accusing you of using others to kill and slaughter your fellow disciples?"

"Once I take control of the Jianghai Alliance, and the Tongtian River's waterways connect with the Lancang River basin, the Feitian Sect will be strong and well-equipped. How dare the Dao Alliance object then? Besides..."

He lowered his voice, a sinister glint in his eyes.

"After the Golden Scale Sect sided with the Demon Clan, a batch of ancient demonic artifacts were hidden at the bottom of the Lancang River. I have already sent my confidants to secretly make contact with them. If we can use the power of the Demon Clan to cleanse our sect, and then turn around and pin the crime of 'colluding with the Demon' on Elder Zuo... Dao Ancestor, in this chaotic world, the truth is always written by the victors."

Ye Yang gave Lan Tao an approving look.

But right under my nose, there was an indescribable chill.

This Lan Tao is not only blinded by greed, but also wants to exploit the internal strife within the Demon Clan. Such an ambitious person is both a good thing and a bad thing. If such a person is successfully supported, the variables will be too great.

If they are so ruthless towards Jianghai Alliance, who has raised them for many years, they will surely become a major threat to Feitianmen if they face the attack of the demon race or even a greater crisis in the future.

"You want to borrow the Flying Heaven Sect's sword to kill the Jianghai Alliance members, and then use the Demon Clan's blade to clean your own hands?"

"Good tactic, good tactic."

A smile appeared on Lan Tao's lips, but the next moment, he sensed something different in Ye Yang's words. Lan Tao's expression changed drastically, and he wanted to explain.

"Daozu."

Before he could react, Ye Yang flicked out a sword aura from his fingertip.

The sword energy appeared gentle, yet it instantly pierced through Lan Tao's numerous barriers.

"You!" Lan Tao was shocked and furious. His Dharma Image suddenly unfolded behind him, revealing a ferocious, crimson-scaled giant crocodile.

"Dao Ancestor, I am utterly loyal to the Flying Heaven Sect, what is the meaning of this?!"

"What do you mean?" Ye Yang slowly raised his sword, and the Taixu Red Lotus Sword burst forth with a dazzling red light.

"You intend to use the Jianghai Alliance as a bargaining chip, borrow my power to eliminate dissidents, and then use the demonic artifact to turn against the Flying Heaven Sect after you seize power. Do you think I don't know your wolfish ambitions?"

"May the Dao Ancestor bear witness!"

Lan Tao suddenly knelt down.

"As long as you nod your head, I can use all the manpower and resources of the Jianghai Alliance to serve as the vanguard for the Flying Heaven Sect."

The more he spoke, the more excited he became.

"There are three million mortals along the three rivers. Their blood sacrifice can activate the ancient demonic array, at which point the demons will find it difficult to survive."

The sword light suddenly appeared.

Lan Tao's voice came to an abrupt halt.

He looked down in disbelief and saw a red lotus of sword energy blooming on his chest, while the Crimson Scale Crocodile Dharma Image behind him was being torn apart by countless sword energies.

"you"

"Why."

Lan Tao's remnant soul twisted in the flames.

Ye Yang sheathed his sword.

"What the Flying Gate needs are watchdogs, not mad wolves."

The next moment, Ye Yang pointed his sword and drew a mysterious trajectory in the air with the Taixu Red Lotus Sword.

Lan Tao's pupils shrank suddenly. He wanted to escape, but found that the space around him had been locked by Ye Yang's sword intent.

The Crimson Scale Crocodile Dharma Image roared and pounced, only to be shattered by the Taixu Crimson Lotus Sword.

With a flash of sword light, Lan Tao's body turned to dust in the crimson mist, leaving only a resentful roar that dissipated in the wind.

He never understood until his death why his sincere and seemingly flawless scheming was completely useless in front of this Dao Ancestor.

Ye Yang sheathed his sword and stood there, watching Lan Tao's remnant soul being annihilated by the sword energy, his eyes cold.

With a casual wave of his hand, he put the mountain-protecting array diagram left behind by Lan Tao into his storage bag, but did not immediately step into the Jianghai Alliance headquarters.

In such chaotic times, if puppets cannot be controlled, then other capable people must be found.

He wasn't looking for a second Lan Tao, but someone who could truly protect the Sanjiang waters and be of one mind with the Feitianmen.

Thinking of this, in an instant, Ye Yang's aura changed drastically. His Daoist robe transformed into the appearance of a Jianghai Alliance disciple, his angular face became ordinary and unremarkable, and even his cultivation fluctuations were reduced to the level of Qi Circulation.

The next moment, Ye Yang flicked his finger, and the Crimson Jade Token he had taken from Lan Tao floated in front of him, emitting a faint bloody light, tearing a tiny crack in the mountain-protecting formation.

"This formation is quite ingenious."

A hint of admiration flashed in Ye Yang's eyes, but it quickly turned cold.

As Ye Yang passed through the gaps in the formation, the scene before him made him frown slightly.

The headquarters of the Jianghai Alliance was built on a huge floating island at the confluence of three rivers. It should have been a blessed land of immortals with abundant spiritual energy, but at this moment it was shrouded in a layer of blood-red mist.

Swords flashed between the distant palaces, and the sounds of fighting could be faintly heard.

"It's more chaotic than I expected."

Ye Yang's divine sense spread like a tide, instantly covering an area of ​​ten miles.

In his perception, ten miles ahead, the eastern palace complex was shrouded in a thick curtain of water.

The cultivators on the east side were mostly quite old, each exuding a calm and composed aura, and each wore a jade token symbolizing the Left Elder's lineage hanging from their waist.

On the west side, demonic energy was faintly visible, and the cultivators had sinister expressions; they were from the Right Elder faction to which Lan Tao belonged.

In the central square, hundreds of cultivators with disordered auras gathered. They were in the most difficult situation, unwilling to submit to the demons or associate with Elder Zuo.

"Elder Zuo's faction adheres to outdated rules, while the neutral faction clings to life."

Ye Yang shook his head inwardly.

"No wonder Lan Tao dared to boast that he had control of the whole situation."

Just as I was pondering this, a commotion suddenly broke out in the central square.

"Master Bai, I heard that you secretly allocated sect assets yesterday to distribute pills to mortals at the foot of the mountain."

"Elder Zhou, the downstream villages have been infected by demonic poison. Those mortals are weak and need elixirs."

"Shut up!"
