King of Assassins
Chapter 1138 - 722: Presenting Treasures (Part 4)
"Why, Master?"
Jiang Xiaowei was puzzled. "Celestial Master Gao is so powerful, and he's close to our Daoist Sect. With this opportunity, we could gather our Power and clean up the East Sea Dragon Race and the Buddhist Sect…"
In her eyes, this was simply a heaven-sent opportunity.
The Daoist Sect was a pile of loose sand precisely because no one could command the crowd or preside over the overall situation. That was why they were suppressed by the Buddhist Sect and the East Sea Dragon Race.
With Gao Xuan taking the lead, they could completely overthrow the Buddhist Sect and the East Sea Dragon Court in one stroke. From then on, the Daoist Sect could finally hold its head high and no longer have to look at others' faces.
Jiang Yumei shot Jiang Xiaowei a cold glare. "Naive. How could it be that easy."
Jiang Xiaowei was a bit unconvinced. It really didn't seem that complicated to her.
Jiang Yumei sighed helplessly. "I've heard about this too. It's obvious there's someone fanning the flames behind the scenes. The Buddhist Sect and the East Sea Dragon Court are both holding back their strength, preparing to kill Gao Xuan. We just need to stand by and watch."
"Why aren't we helping?" Jiang Xiaowei asked.
"Help with what? You really think that just because he's close to the Daoist Sect, he's one of our own? The Daoist Sect is already a mess inside."
Jiang Yumei's face sank. "Go into seclusion to cultivate immediately. Without my order, you are not allowed to come out."
Jiang Xiaowei's face was full of grievance. Jiang Yuelan slightly shook her head and waved her hand at her, signaling her to behave and listen.
There was nothing she could do. Jiang Xiaowei could only obediently salute and then go into seclusion.
After Jiang Xiaowei left, Jiang Yumei said to Jiang Yuelan, "Yuelan, is it possible that Gao Xuan is an old acquaintance of yours?"
Jiang Yuelan was a powerhouse reincarnated from the Upper Realm. Although Jiang Yumei was her master, even she did not dare treat this one with any slight.
Jiang Yuelan thought for a moment, then shook her head. "My memories from my previous life are very vague. I don't remember this person at all."
"I see…"
Jiang Yumei pondered for a moment and said, "Then you shouldn't involve yourself in Gao Xuan's affairs. To the Immortal Realm, the Cyan Celestial Realm is just a muddy pond. There's no need to waste your energy here, and even less need to stir up trouble here.
"At this Celestial Dragon Dharma Assembly, you only need to watch and listen more, broaden your experience, and firm up your foundation. As for everything else, you don't need to concern yourself."
Jiang Yuelan nodded slightly. She did have her own thoughts, but seeing Jiang Yumei so cautious and careful, she couldn't say much more.
This one treated her extremely well, doing everything possible to help her raise her Cultivation. Her current Cultivation was strong, but she still didn't have the ability to sweep across the Cyan Celestial Realm. It was fine not to get involved in this sort of matter.
However, she still felt that this matter would have a tremendous impact.
The various Major Sects of the Daoist Sect only wanted to watch the show and then pick up the scraps afterward. Their little abacus was neat enough, but things wouldn't be that simple.
In the Eastern Province, there was not only the Daoist Sect and the Buddhist Sect, but also the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance and the Demon Sect. Although these forces did not quite match the Daoist and Buddhist Sects, they were not far behind.
With the variable of Gao Xuan appearing, the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance and the Demon Sect would probably be overjoyed. They might even very well go looking for Gao Xuan in secret to collude with him.
All in all, this mindset of the Daoist Sect—just folding their arms to watch from the sidelines—could not possibly accomplish anything.
Jiang Yuelan didn't care too much. Once she consolidated her foundation and passed through the Twelve Heavens Tribulation, she would go to the Upper Realm for training. These matters in the Cyan Celestial Realm were ultimately trivial and not worth her attention.
Just as Jiang Yuelan had predicted, the Demon Sect had already come looking for Gao Xuan.
A young girl in green stood before Gao Xuan and folded her sleeves in salute. "Aoba of the Celestial Demon Sect pays respects to Celestial Master."
The girl in green had brows and eyes like a painting. A simple green Sword Robe set off her curvy, graceful figure, making people instinctively feel delighted at the sight.
There was innocence in her gaze, but also a trace of slyness and a hint of charm. This complex and somewhat contradictory look in her eyes gave her an abundance of allure.
Gao Xuan sized Aoba up, quite curious about this young girl. The Demon Sect, if one spoke of it, also had a long heritage and formidable strength.
However, the Demon Sect and the Daoist Sect, Buddhist Sect, and Celestial Court had always been mortal enemies.
Yet this beauty from the Demon Sect actually dared to come right up to him to fawn on him. She was certainly bold.
Gao Xuan smiled. "You've come knocking on my door. Aren't you afraid I'll exterminate demons and devils?"
Aoba bowed her head respectfully and gave a deep salute. "This little woman submits to whatever judgment Celestial Master sees fit. I wouldn't dare show the slightest disrespect."
She paused, then said softly, "However, before Celestial Master passes judgment, this little woman has a few words she wishes to say to Celestial Master."
"Let's hear it." Gao Xuan didn't mind. He also wanted to see what trick the Demon Sect was trying to play.
"The East Sea Dragon Court and the Buddhist Sect are both secretly planning to deal with Celestial Master. The people of the Daoist Sect are cowardly, incompetent, Greedy, and despicable. Only our Celestial Demon Sect can help you."
Aoba's posture was low, yet she was very calm and composed. Her speech was clear and orderly, quite persuasive.
Gao Xuan smiled again. "And how are you going to help me?"
Aoba raised her head and gave Gao Xuan a soft, charming smile. "So long as Celestial Master permits it, our Sect will immediately present a supreme treasure, enough for Celestial Master to gain control over the entire Cyan Celestial Realm…"
