Chapter 157: Plotting to Fight Again After Ten Thousand Years

The events at the trade fair quickly spread throughout Ji'an Market.

Zhang Yuhe directly took out the Immortal Artifacts captured from the True Immortals of the Ouyang Family to trade.

There was completely no concealment.

He did not quietly dispose of the stolen goods in batches; instead, he openly took out all the Immortal Artifacts at the trade fair to trade with everyone.

This was simply pressing the face of the Ouyang Family against the ground and rubbing it fiercely.

Although everyone guessed that Zhang Yuhe was at most just a front man.

In everyone's view, he was merely helping Xie Mingyuan process the spoils of war.

However, such an action still aroused the interest of many people.

In their view,

Zhang Yuhe handling the spoils of war so unscrupulously and publicly

was clearly because he had great confidence in his heart.

Then where did his confidence come from?

Many people believed that the Dao Saint Sect should have found powerful reinforcements,

and was no longer afraid of the challenges from the Ouyang Family and the Qian Family, which was why Zhang Yuhe was so uninhibited.

If Zhang Yuhe knew what everyone was thinking,

he would definitely shout out in grievance.

Heavens and earth as my witness,

he really didn't mean to slap the Ouyang Family in the face.

He completely had no such intention.

The reason he chose to dump all the Immortal Artifacts in his hands at the trade fair

was simply because he felt it was very convenient.

Exchanging things he couldn't use for items he needed, didn't everyone do it this way?

Most importantly, Ji'an Market was only this big.

Besides the major forces, there were no super-large chambers of commerce stationed there.

Even if he wanted to find a major client and quietly sell all the Immortal Artifacts,

he couldn't find one.

He couldn't possibly run off to other sea areas just to sell the Immortal Artifacts in his hands, right?

There was completely no need for that.

...

Tianchen Island, Council Hall.

Ouyang Tianchen sat upright in the upper seat, his fingers gently tapping on the tabletop.

Ouyang Tianwu, located in the lower seat, was reporting the latest investigation results to him.

"Over the past hundred years or so, we have activated the hidden agents lurking in various major forces."

"After detailed investigation, during the period when Young Master Lishan fell, the Golden Immortal Cultivators of all major forces had no records of going out."

"However, our hidden agents do not hold high positions in the major forces, so the investigation results are not necessarily reliable."

"Moreover, Golden Immortal Cultivators come and go like the wind. Even if they had gone out before, ordinary people would find it very difficult to notice."

"The location of the incident is very close to Ji'an Market, and all major forces have Golden Immortal Cultivators stationed in the city."

"Especially the Nine Immortals Sect, which has a total of two Golden Immortal Cultivators permanently stationed in the city."

"Even if they quietly went out for a trip, no one would discover it."

Ouyang Tianchen listened quietly to the report.

After quite a while, he slowly said,

"That is to say, there is still no result currently, and it is impossible to determine which force's Golden Immortal Cultivator made a move?"

"Yes, Clan Head."

Ouyang Tianwu replied helplessly.

There was no help for it; this kind of matter really couldn't be investigated.

He had personally gone to look at the scene of the incident, and the site completely left no aura of any Golden Immortal Cultivator.

Although the traces of the great battle at the scene were very obvious,

those were all auras of True Immortal Cultivators.

As for the aura of a Golden Immortal Cultivator, he couldn't sense a bit of it.

Ouyang Tianwu even felt, could Ouyang Lishan and the others have really been killed by Xie Mingyuan?

Perhaps in Xie Mingyuan's hands, there was some kind of powerful trump card

that could instantly annihilate more than a dozen True Immortal Cultivators.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

True Immortal Cultivators capable of instantly killing Ouyang Lishan and the others were not non-existent.

The Immortal Realm was vast and boundless, and there was no lack of heaven-shaking geniuses.

Rumored peerless prodigies in some super-large forces could even at the True Immortal Realm stage

fight against Golden Immortals in reverse.

But this was the Ji'an Sea Area.

In such a small pond, it was impossible for such a peerless prodigy to exist.

He had also carefully investigated this person Xie Mingyuan.

Although this ascending Cultivator who came up from the Lower Realm had pretty good natural talent,

cultivating to the True Immortal Late Stage within two hundred thousand years, with hopes for the Golden Immortal realm,

that was simply all there was to it.

In his view,

Xie Mingyuan could only be considered very good among True Immortal Cultivators, at most being on par with Ouyang Lishan.

To say that Xie Mingyuan could instantly kill more than ten True Immortals including Ouyang Lishan,

he did not believe it.

There must still be key points in here that they hadn't figured out.

Suddenly, Ouyang Tianwu's brows furrowed slightly.

He took out an Immortal Transmission Mirror, and after casting a spell technique,

looking at the information in the Immortal Transmission Mirror, he couldn't help being somewhat surprised.

He quickly said to Ouyang Tianchen,

"Clan Head, news has just been received from Ji'an Market."

"A True Immortal disciple of the Dao Saint Sect has taken out the Immortal Artifacts of Lishan and the others, putting them up for sale at a small trade fair."

"Oh, isn't that person Xie Mingyuan?"

Hearing this, Ouyang Tianchen couldn't help but become interested.

In his view, the killing of Ouyang Lishan and the others was definitely related to Xie Mingyuan.

Their lost Immortal Artifacts were either on Xie Mingyuan or on that behind-the-scenes Golden Immortal.

Why did another person suddenly pop up?

"No, the True Immortal Cultivator selling the Immortal Artifacts is named Zhang Yuhe, a newly joined disciple of the Dao Saint Sect."

"Is there anything special about this person?"

Hearing the Clan Head ask consecutively, Ouyang Tianwu seriously recalled the intelligence regarding Zhang Yuhe.

In order to deal with the Dao Saint Sect,

they had carefully investigated every True Immortal of the Dao Saint Sect.

After quite a while, Ouyang Tianwu slowly replied,

"About two thousand years ago, Zhang Yuhe ascended from the Lower Realm, landed on the Ascension Platform of the Dao Saint Sect, and then joined the Dao Saint Sect."

"As for anything special, this person is an Artifact Refiner with quite good skills, and is very popular in the True Immortal circles of the city."

Having listened to Ouyang Tianwu's reply, Ouyang Tianchen spoke without even thinking.

"A small fry who only ascended two thousand years ago, it seems he's just an errand-running character; no need for special attention."

Ouyang Tianwu beside him nodded silently.

He also recognized the Clan Head's judgment.

In their view, Zhang Yuhe was just an errand-running character and had nothing to do with the fall of Ouyang Lishan and the others.

"Clan Head, what should we do now? Since the mastermind behind the scenes still cannot be found, should we continue to make a move against the Dao Saint Sect?"

According to their original plan, they should have long since taken action against the Dao Saint Sect.

It was just that the sudden fall of Ouyang Lishan and the others made them harbor doubts.

But since this matter still yielded no result, they couldn't just give up like this, right?

Ouyang Tianchen suddenly stood up, and he slowly spoke,

"I have already discussed this matter with Qian Mu; he believes that now is not the time to deal with the Dao Saint Sect."

"I know that old fox Qian Mu; he is worried that the Dao Saint Sect has other powerful reinforcements, so he has grown timid."

Hearing this, Ouyang Tianwu couldn't help becoming anxious and hurriedly spoke,

"Then when are we going to wait until? Could it be that you want us to deal with the Dao Saint Sect alone?"

Although the Dao Saint Sect had declined in strength, it still had two Golden Immortal Cultivators.

Furthermore, Lian Zhengyu was a Golden Immortal Middle Stage Cultivator, which was very troublesome to deal with.

Coupled with the fact that the mountain gate of the Dao Saint Sect, after Lu Yunfei's years of management, was not that easy to attack.

Relying solely on them, the Ouyang Family, wanting to take down the Dao Saint Sect was not very easy.

If things went wrong, they might even capsize.

Even if they achieved victory in the end, it would inevitably cost a huge price.

This was definitely not the result they wanted to see.

Ouyang Tianchen nodded; he naturally understood the logic.

To let them deal with the Dao Saint Sect alone was definitely impossible; he would rather not eat this piece of fat meat

nor did he want the Clan's strength to suffer too much loss.

However, he had plotted for this matter for many years, so naturally he would not give up easily.

Ouyang Tianchen smiled and said,

"Rest assured, I have already settled it with that old fox Qian Mu."

"Using ten thousand years as the limit, regardless of whether we can find out the mastermind behind the scenes or not,"

"after ten thousand years, we will jointly launch an attack and annihilate the Dao Saint Sect in one fell swoop."

"Brilliant, Clan Head."

Hearing Ouyang Tianchen's words, Ouyang Tianwu's mood was exceptionally thrilled.

Ten thousand years was a time they could completely afford to wait.

And within these ten thousand years, perhaps they could even investigate clearly the reason for the fall of Ouyang Lishan and the others.

As long as the Nine Immortals Sect and Ten Thousand Beasts Sect did not interfere, they would have no scruples.

The two families joining forces would form a crushing momentum.

The Dao Saint Sect wouldn't be able to stir up any waves at all.
