Chapter 850: Chapter 330: Eighth Heavenly Layer Three, External Scenery of the Divine Court (Ten Thousand-Word Chapter) (Part 3)
But to grasp the current Yellow Sky Sect is still as easy as turning a hand.
Over the years, Kang Ming has confirmed that when Zhao Zongjie became the Altar, it had nothing to do with his own willingness, but was orchestrated by the Yellow Sky Sect.
Although, under normal circumstances, this matter would require the voluntary action of the Upper Three Heavens cultivators of the Talisman Sect.
But Zhao Zongjie himself was extraordinarily gifted.
This instead became the root of disaster.
Although, in terms of results, his sacrifice laid the foundation for the continuation of the Yellow Sky Sect.
Yet this is already the Yellow Sky Sect of the Mortal Tao Country.
Yu Shao, from the very beginning, was a rising star secretly nurtured by the Mortal Tao Country within the Yellow Sky Sect.
Han Wuyou, likewise.
According to the current understanding of Kang Ming, Han Wuyou was not like Yu Shao who was a member of the Mortal Tao Country from the start.
He and his master Qi Shuo are both legitimate disciples of the Yellow Sky Sect but later joined the Mortal Tao Country.
Perhaps, in their minds, it was to strive for a chance for the Yellow Sky Sect.
However, Chen Ziyang deeply abhorred the actions of Qi Shuo, Zhou Peng, Feng Yi, and others.
On the surface, Yu Shao and Han Wuyou seem unrelated to the Mortal Tao Country.
Chen Ziyang may have suspicions in his heart, but under the current circumstances, he hasn’t taken further actions, instead subtly becoming another faction within the Yellow Sky Sect.
As for Kang Ming himself...
Well, alright, he is now also a "Mortal Tao Country member."
In the eyes of Yu Shao and Han Wuyou, he has long been Elder Wen Zhaoqian of the Pure Yang Palace.
So now among the most important leaders of the Yellow Sky Sect, except for Chen Ziyang, they are all mainly members of the Mortal Tao Country, though everyone still maintains appearances.
More changes are to be subtly influenced in secret.
As for the existence of Chen Ziyang, even allowing him to cultivate to the Seventh Layer of Heaven Realm, the reason is quite simple.
A better target for body possession...
Like a well-bred steed, waiting for when the master needs it.
Apart from that, some additional aspects...
"Has Brother Chen connected with Elder Chen of Mount Shu recently, any gains?" Yu Shao asked warmly.
Chen Ziyang shook his head, "Elder Chen has not truly returned to Mount Shu, he’s wandering without a trace, making it really hard to contact him.
As far as I know, even the Mount Shu Sect itself can’t contact him promptly, they can only send messages or leave letters, but Elder Chen doesn’t necessarily respond immediately.
Now that the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have reappeared, there are even rumors of other mortal existences, many times Elder Chen may not even be in this Great Tang realm."
Yu Shao nodded, "No wonder, Elder Chen has been out of contact for years, but fortunately he has returned to the mortal world now, if we can contact him, our sect might gain a powerful ally."
Chen Ziyang said, "The Sect Leader is right, I will do my best."
Chen Donglou, the Shu Madman, had private ties with the former Sect Leader of the Yellow Sky Sect, Taoist Taiping, and even once helped the Yellow Sky Sect in conflicts against the Celestial Master Mansion.
But after that he disappeared, causing the Yellow Sky Sect to lose a strong ally externally.
Now that Chen Donglou reappears in the mortal world, it should be good news for the Yellow Sky Sect.
But unfortunately, Taoist Taiping is no more.
Chen Donglou is not in Mount Shu, wandering the world with no fixed abode, making it difficult for the people of the Yellow Sky Sect to contact him now.
Themselves are already difficult to reveal publicly, and even less likely to send messages to Chen Donglou through Mount Shu people.
Chen Ziyang harbors doubts about Yu Shao, Han Wuyou, and Kang Ming, but no matter from which perspective he considers it, he desperately hopes to contact Chen Donglou, but he has not found the method.
Han Wuyou is preparing to cross the tribulation and impact the Seventh Layer of Heaven, while Yu Shao and Kang Ming, leveraging the ancestral altar, protect him.
Chen Ziyang stayed for a few days before leaving the ancestral altar.
"It seems he really hasn’t been able to contact Chen Donglou," Kang Ming said.
Yu Shao nodded, "Indeed."
If it weren’t so, Chen Donglou might have already come to the Yellow Sky ancestral altar.
Chen Donglou had private ties with Taoist Taiping.
But Taoist Taiping is already gone.
Moreover, there’s often news circulating that Taoist Taiping actually fell because of the Mortal Tao Country, being treacherously body-snatched by Mortal Tao Country’s Dan Ding Sect master Feng Yi when he was injured.
Affected by this, Yellow Sky Sect currently presents a hostile front to the Mortal Tao Country, so Yu Shao, Han Wuyou, and others can only act in secret.
With the passage of time in recent years, the situation has only begun to change.
But if they truly contact Chen Donglou, the first to suffer would probably be these Mortal Tao Country people.
Kang Ming: "Letting him know the location of the ancestral altar is a bit risky."
Yu Shao: "Back then, the leadership might have had the intention to startle the snake."
Kang Ming said: "Since Chen Donglou reappeared in the mortal world, he hasn’t clashed with the Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion again, but instead has been focusing on the Tao Country."
Yu Shao: "The Celestial Master Mansion is no longer held by the Li Clan, rather we have entanglements with Taoist Taiping, his reaction is understandable..."
Saying this, Yu Shao suddenly fell silent.
Kang Ming understood that the latter recalled the prior heavy losses the Mortal Tao Country suffered beneath Dragon Tiger Mountain, and their repeated setbacks including the loss of Fu Dongsen in recent years.
He said no more, rose and took his leave, "I’ll go keep an eye on Chen Ziyang."
With only the two of them, Yu Shao changed his address, "Thank you Elder Wen, I will stay here at the ancestral altar to protect Brother Han."
Kang Ming left the ancestral altar.
He had no intention of confronting Chen Ziyang.
He too harbored suspicions of Chen Ziyang.
As previously stated, the fate of the current Yellow Sky Sect is not decided by just a few people like them.
Although the Mortal Tao Country continuously lost strong figures like Rong Guangchen, Wei Qiyue, and Fu Dongsen, it remains a giant to the Yellow Sky Sect.
As long as Huang Xuanpu remains, Kang Ming must always stay vigilant.
But he is not doing nothing either.
The Mortal Tao Country is steadily advancing in secretly eroding the Yellow Sky Sect.
