Chapter 703: Chapter 702 The Storm is Brewing
The Yuandao Sect Master transformed from a fairy-like Immortal to a devil as if from hell at that moment, exuding a terrifying aura of murder.
The space around was shaking, and without guessing, they all knew who had taken action.
To be able to kill a Quasi-Emperor in such a short period and simultaneously destroy his divine soul.
There was only one person in the entire Dao Realm who could do it.
That was Xiang Batian, with the body of a tyrant king.
It was common knowledge that the Saint Heir of the Demon God Temple had a conflict with Wang Zun.
So they could easily figure out who made the move.
No one but the Demon God Temple.
As for how they knew the relationship between Xiang Batian and the Demon God Temple,
That was also revealed by the Yuanchu Sect.
To obliterate the Demon God Temple, the Yuanchu Sect had already reached out to quite a few forces.
The Yuandao Sect was one of the forces they contacted.
The power of the Yuandao Sect was very strong, ranking it near the forefront in the entire Dao Realm.
...
Meanwhile, the Origin Sect Master was overjoyed upon hearing the news, "Heaven is truly on my side. The Demon God Temple has actually made a move against Wang Zun. It seems they have become arrogant from habit and don’t even put the Yuandao Sect in their eyes."
"Or maybe they have never put anyone in their eyes. They kill whomever they want, and in this manner, their destruction is only a matter of time."
The Origin Sect Master was feeling extremely comfortable at this moment. He didn’t care about the death of Wang Zun.
The most important thing was that the Yuandao Sect had finally agreed to join forces.
With the Yuandao Sect’s Imperial Divine Weapons and many strong fighters, if they took action, the plan would be more than half successful.
At the very least, the two of them could wield two Imperial Divine Weapons, enough to deal with Xiang Batian. Even if they couldn’t kill him, they had to block him.
In that case, other forces could take action against the Demon God Temple.
"The Yuandao Sect has already agreed, and now we’re just waiting for the other forces."
"I believe that after the destruction of the Mang Jiao Clan, other forces will also agree."
The Origin Sect Master smiled slightly.
Now these guys are hesitating because they are wary of the strength of the Demon God Temple, and also because they are afraid that if they make a move, other forces won’t, which would be troublesome.
The Origin Sect Master was not worried about this at all.
As long as what happened to the Mang Jiao Clan occurred, these forces would definitely join together.
Especially the ancient races, the Origin Sect Master’s contacts were not limited to the human race; he also had connections with ancient races.
The news of Wang Zun and their elder’s deaths spread quickly.
The other forces were shocked at this moment, wondering how these two had died.
What shocked them most was that after the deaths of Wang Zun and the elder, the Yuandao Sect remained silent, not bothering to investigate the killer, as if the incident had never happened.
But they understood that it was just the calm before the storm.
If the Yuandao Sect made a move, it would certainly be spectacular.
...
Time flew by, and it had been half a month since Wang Zun’s death.
Nothing much happened in the Dao Realm during this time.
Originally, it was thought that Wang Zun’s death would enrage the Yuandao Sect, but unexpectedly, the Yuandao Sect showed no action at all.
It was as if an ordinary person had died.
This led the other forces to speculate what exactly the Yuandao Sect was planning.
Or was it that the force that killed Wang Zun was so powerful that even the Yuandao Sect dared not make a move.
All the major powers were speculating.
After the news of Liu Zheng’s intervention spread,
many people had the expression of ’just as expected.’
The ones who took action were indeed Liu Zheng and the Demon God Temple.
Many people felt that the Yuandao Sect was wary of the Demon God Temple hence had not made a move yet.
Some people agreed with this view.
Since the emergence of Xiang Batian and the fall of the Zhang Family and the Qiankun Dynasty,
they realized that even top forces were insignificant in front of the Demon God Temple.
At this moment in the Dark Palace.
"How is the collection of information going?"
Liu Zheng sat in a chair, sipping tea lightly as he spoke.
Chen Jin was standing in front of him.
"Hall Master, according to the information we have gathered and the messages from our chess pieces, in recent times, Yuandao Sect and Yuanchu Sect have been in contact, planning something in secret," Chen Jin reported.
"Besides that, we have also received messages from other forces. Yuanchu Sect is not only in contact with Yuandao Sect, but also with dynasties and ancient races."
A glint flashed in Liu Zheng’s eyes as he spoke calmly, "Are they preparing to make a move against us?"
Chen Jin nodded, his eyes filled with murderous intent, "From the beginning, the Origin Sect Master’s contacting so many forces indicated an intention to make a move against us."
"And the task of the Origin Sect Master is nothing but a fuse, intending to set us against the ancient races."
The intelligence network of the Demon God Temple was incredibly formidable, and combined with the enslaved chess pieces of the Soul God Decree, one could say that the Demon God Temple was aware of the secrets of all the major forces.
After the death of Wang Zun, some high-level individuals of Yuandao Sect had been contacted by Yuanchu Sect to discuss dealing with the Demon God Temple, and Chen Fang was among them.
At the same time, he had also received reports from the chess pieces within various forces.
As messages continued to converge on Liu Zheng’s side with the ongoing contacts by the Origin Sect Master,
the Soul God Decree played a significant role this time, making it easy for them to learn the plans of Yuanchu Sect.
Liu Zheng was able to deduce that
Yuanchu Sect merely wanted the Demon God Temple to make a move against the Mang Jiao Clan, and then unite the ancient races.
Because of the Red Moon Wolf Clan incident, the ancient races had already become quite wary of the Demon God Temple.
Once might be manageable, but if it happened frequently, they would not keep silent.
The appearance of Xiang Batian had already caused some forces to feel tremendous pressure.
If the Demon God Temple were to attack the Mang Jiao Clan, the other ancient races would not just sit back and watch; this applied equally to the Fire Phoenix and Dragon Clans as well.
The Demon God Temple would face all the ancient races, and taking this opportunity, the Yuanchu Sect would also reach out to various human factions to start taking action against the Demon God Temple.
The plan of the Origin Sect Master was simply these things.
If it weren’t for these chess pieces, Liu Zheng would not have known so much.
Such confidential matters were generally known only to the high level of major powers.
"Hall Master, shall we make the first move against the Yuanchu Sect?"
"This guy is actually planning to destroy our Demon God Temple; we absolutely cannot let him live."
Chen Jin spoke icily, his eyes brimming with a murderous intent.
The actions of the Yuanchu Sect were a clear provocation against their Demon God Temple, and if Liu Zheng hadn’t given instructions, he would have led the charge against Yuanchu Sect already.
"The Yuanchu Sect will certainly not be spared, but there’s no need to rush for now. Instead of that, it would be better to let them begin fighting among themselves"
"Just right, isn’t Yuanchu Sect seeking to destroy the Mang Jiao Clan? This provides a chance, and it’s about time to make use of our chess pieces"
Liu Zheng’s mouth curled into a cold smile as he spoke.
