The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 778 - 255: The Fifth Prince Arrives, Sikong Yan’s Madness (6k)_2

Sikong Yan gently patted her head and gave a slight smile, indicating not to worry.

"I mentioned last time that since I was being watched, I wouldn’t come to the Eastern Domain for a while. But to my surprise, upon inquiring, I found that this place had ceased warfare. Give me an explanation!"

Prince Xuanyuan Fengtai questioned.

Sikong Yan replied, "Prince, it’s something beyond our control. Since you know the Eastern Domain has stopped fighting, you must have inquired about the reason, right?"

Xuanyuan Fengtai slowly stood up, spiritual power surging around him, as he began to step through the air.

"A bunch of brainless beasts, just because they lost a Spirit Medicine, decided to launch a beast tide, ruining my plans that have been in place for so long!"

Xuanyuan Fengtai’s voice was icy, carrying undisguised anger and disdain, until he stepped onto the water, causing ripples to spread out.

Then, arriving at the fishing spot, he squatted down and absentmindedly tugged at the fishing line.

However, at that moment, Sikong Yan’s eyes narrowed sharply, and he abruptly lifted the fishing rod.

The hook, which had been quietly submerged in the water, broke the surface in an instant. Coincidentally, with a ripping sound, it hooked directly onto the hem of Xuanyuan Fengtai’s brocade robe.

"Looks like I’ve caught a big fish!" Sikong Yan joked.

Xuanyuan Fengtai frowned slightly, flicked his fingers, and the entire fishing rod turned to ash.

"Sikong Yan, I’m not joking around with you. Let’s set aside the matter of Canglan Mountain for now. I heard that recently, the Taiqing Sect and the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect almost clashed violently. What’s going on?"

Xuanyuan Fengtai’s gaze was piercing as he stared intently at Sikong Yan and questioned, "With such a good opportunity, why did you hold back and not take action?"

Sikong Yan remained unhurried, leaned back slightly, and responded with a calm expression.

"Oh? Why should I have acted? After all, they didn’t end up fighting. Surely, Your Highness wasn’t hoping for the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect to be destroyed?"

"Destroyed? The Cyan Feather Immortal Sect is one of the mighty Five Sects; it’s not so easily eradicated. With doctrines handed down for years, they’re not to be trifled with, not to mention the checks and balances from the other major sects!"

Xuanyuan Fengtai scoffed, his face full of disdain.

Upon hearing this, Sikong Yan chuckled lightly and explained, "According to the previous plan, during the battle of the Five Sects, all Divinity Transformation Realm experts were prohibited from participating to preserve the best foundations for Your Highness."

"Later, at the right time, we would cause a great upheaval, resulting in either the fall or severe injury of Divinity Transformation experts. At that time, Your Highness, you could intervene privately to win over hearts."

He sighed softly and continued, "It’s a pity that plans can’t keep up with changes. The beast tide at Canglan Mountain, the fall of Spirit Severing Realm experts, the Secret Realm at Spirit Skull Mountain, all these changes have left me in a bind."

Xuanyuan Fengtai nodded slightly and said, "I only heard about these matters after arriving in the Eastern Domain. But so what? The fundamental structure of the larger situation hasn’t changed significantly."

He shifted his tone, his eyes sharp, "Sikong Yan, don’t forget how you advanced to the Perfection of Divinity Transformation Realm. If I can choose you as an agent, I can certainly find someone else."

Sikong Yan quickly nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, yes, of course, I know this. But Your Highness, being new to the Eastern Domain, there are some things you might not be aware of."

"The Phecda Sect Leader, Master Xuanji, has fallen. The Sect Leader of the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect has less than ten years of life left, and in these two sects, there are hardly any Divinity Transformation experts remaining."

"What?" Xuanyuan Fengtai was shocked upon hearing this.

Sikong Yan continued, "It’s all the fault of the Secret Realm at Spirit Skull Mountain. I’m helpless, and with so many people from the outer mansion arriving, I really can’t afford to start another war; it would only let others take advantage."

Xuanyuan Fengtai furrowed his brows and pursued the question, "What exactly is going on over at Spirit Skull Mountain? Have you found out which Spirit Severing Realm expert fell?"

Sikong Yan shook his head helplessly and said, "Honestly, I’m still in the dark. Your Highness, as a prince, didn’t Prince even appear back then and hear any rumors?"

Xuanyuan Fengtai sighed and said, "My grandfather has always despised the intrigue in the Imperial City, so he volunteered to guard the border. Even if he discovered something, he wouldn’t tell us."

"First, tell me what exactly is in that Secret Realm at Spirit Skull Mountain? How did it cause the sect leaders of these two sects to end up in such a state? This totally ruins my plans!"

Sikong Yan arranged his thoughts and slowly said, "I’ve been in that Secret Realm; it’s truly terrifying because there’s a Ghost Emperor inside..."

Half an hour later, Xuanyuan Fengtai was pacing back and forth on the water with his hands behind his back, his expression grave.

"So, the Phecda Sect is now leaderless, and the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect is about to change its Sect Leader, and has even reached a compensation agreement with the Taiqing Sect. They must be feeling pretty aggrieved by now!"

He murmured to himself, "In that case, this doesn’t seem like a bad opportunity. Although many Divinity Transformation experts have been lost, it’s no big deal; my plans aren’t limited to just the Lingyun Mansion area. At least my current progress is much faster than others."

Xuanyuan Fengtai became more excited the more he thought about it, and his eyes glistened.

"I need not say any more on your part. As it stands, the most troublesome in the Eastern Domain are only the Taiqing Sect and the Golden Thunder Sect. Excellent, truly excellent!"

Xuanyuan Fengtai suddenly turned his head and looked at Sikong Yan, saying, "Next, I will visit the Phecda Sect and the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect."

"Once I return, we’ll discuss our subsequent plans. Just do a good job for this prince, and I guarantee that one day you’ll step into the Spirit Severing Realm."
