The martial arts immortals in the modern world.

Chapter 352 Attitude
three days later.

Led by the warships of Tianshang Battle Hall, three huge fleets set sail from Tiandao Gate and the surrounding cities and headed straight for the Southern Region.

As for the original Jiuding Peak...

Lu Suoyu and Xu Nianhua who have cultivated the blazing white golden elixir are in charge.

There are also two warrior immortals from the Tianshang War Hall who stayed behind to deal with some emergencies.

After all, as the deputy leader of the Tiandao Sect, he has many industries, which can bring him an income of more than 300 million Pure Yang Pills every year. He will not give up these profits in vain.

On another mountain some distance away from Jiuding Peak, Tiandao Sect's leader Zong Wenxian watched the warship take off and disappear at the end of the sky, his expression full of silence.

Behind him, Langya, who was originally going to go to the Northern Territory but had not yet set off, consoled him, "Master, we have been operating in the Southern Territory for so many years. The Lu family, the Li family, and the Jing family are all well-connected forces. The Jing family, in particular, has the Grand Elder Jing Yuntian standing behind them. In addition, there is Wu Changfeng who is in charge of overall planning. The entire Southern Territory is a solid block. Even if Yaoguang arrives there, it will take at least several decades to make a breakthrough."

At this point, he smiled confidently: "With a few decades, I will definitely be able to complete the harmony between the cave and the Tao seed and enter the realm of refining emptiness. By that time, he will be the deputy head, and I will also be the deputy head. We will compete for the identity of the Lord of the Southern Region. It is legal and compliant, and it is natural."

"I'm afraid that the Taoist Master Penglai behind Yaoguang will intervene again and cause the situation to change."

Zong Wenxian said in a deep voice.

“Even if Taoist Penglai wanted to find a way out for her own sect, she wouldn’t do it so blatantly. After all, she has offended not only the Jade Lin Demon Saint, but also the Taoist Yuanyi of the Sea and Sky Sword Pavilion. Although she used to suppress Taoist Yuanyi with the Supreme Human Emperor of the Origin Great Dao, her status as Taoist is basically the limit of what the lower world can accommodate.”

Langya's face was filled with the confidence that only young people have. "When everyone's upper limits are almost the same and the only difference is in their Taoist skills and Taoist tools, the advantage in numbers is magnified. Therefore, even a powerful Taoist master like Penglai would not have the courage to offend three Taoist masters of the same realm."

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and added, "It should be four Dao Lords. The foundation of our Tiandao Sect is not comparable to that of ordinary sects."

Zong Wenxian thought about it for a moment and felt that Taoist Penglai would not dare to push him to such an extent.

After all, the Jade Scale Demon Saint is already giving her a headache.

Some time ago, the territory in the outer sea was forced to shrink because of a Sky-Devouring Demon King.

If he interferes in the affairs of Tiandao Sect openly under such circumstances, he will undoubtedly completely offend Tiandao Sect's Juntian Daojun and Jinshu Zunzun who guards the sect.

By that time, no matter how strong and powerful she is, she will end up being hated by everyone.

Not to mention the distant future, once she steps into the gate of the fairyland and ascends to the fairyland, the Taoist tradition she left behind will inevitably be destroyed completely.

“The last time the Taoist Master Penglai helped Yaoguang to quickly achieve the Refining Void Realm, it caught us off guard. None of us expected that this Taoist Master would personally instruct Yaoguang, allowing him to cross the level of the newly promoted Void Realm to the peak of the Void Realm in more than ten years. But this time, Elder Wu is here to supervise him at all times. If Yaoguang gets entangled with the Penglai Immortal Sect again, once he is caught with evidence…”

Langya smiled slightly: "We can just expel him and clean up the mess. Even Venerable Jin Shu will not be able to say anything wrong then."

"That's true."

Zong Wenxian nodded.

He is still very confident in Wu Changfeng's abilities.

Over the years, the Southern Region has been in perfect order under his management, and he hardly has to worry about anything.

After a little thought, the sect leader said, "I will go visit Grand Elder Jing Yuntian. Also, please prepare two gifts for me. They don't have to be too expensive. Give them to the two peak masters, Lu Wanshi and Li Baijie. They will understand what I mean."

Langya nodded.

The reason why Zong Wenxian was able to hold the Southern Region firmly in his hands over the years and make all the supreme elders and high-level figures turn a blind eye was, in addition to his own abilities and means, also because he had shared in a lot of profits.

Lu Wanshi, Li Baijie, Jing Yuntian, Wu Changfeng and others are all beneficiaries of the Southern Region.

If Yaoguang wants to take control of the Southern Region, it will inevitably infringe upon their interests. Naturally, they cannot sit idly by when it comes to resisting Yaoguang.

……

While the fleets of Yaoguang's Jiuding Peak lineage, Tianshang Battle Hall, the Ling family, the Chi family and others were marching towards the Southern Region, a dispute was taking place within the Penglai Immortal Sect.

"Master is partial!"

At this time, in Penglai Pavilion where the acting sect master Shi Lin was handling all the sect affairs, Leng Qingqiu's voice was heard: "That Yaoguang has been in our Penglai Immortal Sect for less than 20 years. Why does our master think so highly of him that he is willing to personally teach him skills? Moreover, he has not yet been registered in our Penglai Immortal Sect, so he cannot be considered a true member of our Penglai Immortal Sect."

"We have no right to question the Master's decision. Besides, we are not discussing this matter now, but the feedback from the two Palace Masters Zhengyang and Xuanyin."

Shi Lin looked at his junior sister and said sternly, "Why did you turn the tables on the Heaven Devouring Demon King and even let the two Palace Masters Zhengyang and Xuanyin take action against Master Yaoguang? Do you know what kind of impact this will have on our Penglai Immortal Sect?"

Her tone was full of severity: "He came to the Deep Blue Sea with good intentions to help us kill the monsters, but you attacked him!? If this news gets out, from now on, which sect's Dongxu or Lianxu will dare to come to the Deep Blue Sea to assist us!? Not to mention that Master Yaoguang is the deputy leader of the Tiandao Sect! Do you know what the consequences will be for you, as the deputy leader of the Penglai Immortal Sect, to attack the deputy leader of another major sect?" However, her stern tone did not scare Leng Qingqiu.

They have lived together for so many years, and Leng Qingqiu already knows the character of this senior sister very well.

She even said in a tit-for-tat tone: "Deputy Sect Leader? He wasn't even a deputy sect leader at that time! Besides, how could he become the deputy sect leader of Tiandao Sect so quickly? Senior Sister, don't tell me you don't know? But you kept this matter from us all. Do you still regard us as a family?"

"Junior sister, I'm talking to you about the impact of this matter, please don't change the subject."

Shi Lin said quickly.

"The impact of this incident is more important than the trust between us? More important than the rift in our family!? Senior Sister, you said that our Penglai Immortal Sect is different from other sects in Beihai Star. We should be like a family, helping each other and loving each other. Home is a place to talk about feelings, not a place to talk about interests and reason. But now... you completely ignore it and accuse me from the standpoint of an outsider?"

Leng Qingqiu's tone was filled with a hint of grievance: "Have you ever thought about whether I was injured at the time? Have you ever thought that maybe he attacked me beforehand, and I had no choice but to defend myself?"

Shi Lin couldn't help but feel sorry for his junior sister when he saw her like this.

All he could do was to comfort him: "You...are you not hurt? Was he the one who attacked you first?"

"He didn't attack me first, but Senior Sister, do you still remember that I invited him to deal with the Sky Devouring Demon King? At that time, he was very displeased with me and ridiculed me. I felt that he must have been full of malice towards me, so, just in case, I was a little bit extreme in some of my words and actions."

Leng Qingqiu spoke with certainty.

“This statement is too subjective.”

Shi Lin said.

She had been unknowingly led astray by Leng Qingqiu's topic.

"I'm just stating a fact."

Leng Qingqiu said: "He clearly regards all of us as competitors and targets of suppression. If we don't unite and unite, he will directly interfere in the affairs of Penglai Xianzong next."

"If it is really as the outside world says, this is also Master's decision..."

Shi Lin sighed.

"Then let me go see Master! I have many questions about cultivation that I want to ask Master, but Master always avoids seeing me on the grounds that he is preparing for the Dao Contest. Yet, he can spare such a long time to instruct an outsider. Could it be that we have followed Master for so many years and worked diligently for the sect, but we are not as good as an outsider who has only joined the sect and arrived at Beihai Star for more than a decade?"

"It's been less than a thousand years since the gate to the fairyland opened, and the process of 'Dao Struggle' is so dangerous. Master must be fully prepared. You also need to understand Master. She..."

Shi Lin was about to say something when, at this moment, a handsome young man and a quirky-looking girl flew into the hall at the same time.

"Big Sister, where is Master now? There are rumors that Yaoguang is Master's new disciple. Is this news true?"

"Big sister, Master is too partial. Why does he have the time to instruct an outsider instead of me? If I could have received Master's careful instruction for nearly ten years, I would definitely be able to cultivate to the Void Refining Realm."

They were the other two disciples of Penglai Immortal Sect, Zhan Xiao and Shui Yunhan.

Looking at the two people who came over after hearing the noise, Shi Lin looked helpless.

"Big Sister, please inform our Master. Otherwise, we will never accept this."

"Yes, Senior Sister, at least we need to know where we lost."

"Master has time to instruct others, so she shouldn't even have time to see us. We are her direct disciples."

Several people said one after another.

The continuous verbal bombardment made Shi Lin even more helpless.

Finally, she could only say: "Then... I'll ask Master for instructions..."

It just so happened that she also wanted to ask her master for advice and find out what attitude she should adopt towards the Deputy Headmaster Yaoguang from now on.

Just be a True Lord Lianxu who has a good relationship with the Penglai Immortal Sect.

still is……

The hidden deputy leader of Penglai Immortal Sect.
