Reborn as a Zerg Hive, I feel great Chapter 023

Soon, the Blazing Cloud Pavilion spread the news: the Heavenly Profound Sect was devoid of conscience, having destroyed the Blazing Cloud Pavilion’s branch and then silenced those who knew!

At the same time, news also spread that everyone in Blackwater City had vanished, leaving only traces of blood everywhere. This undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, making it burn even fiercer.

All fingers pointed at the Heavenly Profound Sect. For a time, the Heavenly Profound Sect found it hard to defend itself. Liu Shuangji also “looked at” the Heavenly Profound Sect with new eyes, as Blackwater City was under her protection, yet the Heavenly Profound Sect still silenced everyone, not even sparing the Blazing Cloud Pavilion.

Fortunately, someone from the Blazing Cloud Pavilion managed to escape, otherwise, there would be no witnesses.

“Nonsense! Utter bullshit!” Yuan Jing roared from the main hall of the Heavenly Profound Sect.

Hai Tiangong’s brows were tightly furrowed. Whether Blackwater City was destroyed or not wasn’t important; what mattered was offending Liu Shuangji, that woman.

That old scoundrel Huang Hun still had the nerve to complain. If he had the guts, he should bring people to attack and see if he could still go back!

“First Elder, what exactly happened? How was Blackwater City destroyed?” The other elders discussed amongst themselves. Now the Heavenly Profound Sect was at the center of a storm. If this matter wasn’t handled well, they would bear a terrible reputation.

“You ask me, who should I ask? So many disciples can testify. Do you think I wouldn’t give Liu Shuangji face?” Yuan Jing roared loudly. He had never borne such a false accusation before.

Hai Tiangong said in a deep voice, “But now everyone believes it was done by our Heavenly Profound Sect, and that we even killed Blazing Cloud Pavilion elders and disciples to silence them.”

“It was clearly them who ambushed our sect’s disciples first! Elder Wen can testify.”

“But besides witnesses from our Heavenly Profound Sect, are there any others?” Hai Tiangong asked calmly.

Yuan Jing didn’t speak, because besides their own sect, there wasn’t a single other witness.

Hai Tiangong stood up and scanned the crowd: “So, who exactly is framing our sect?”

“It must be the Blazing Cloud Pavilion! After I led people away, they sent people to destroy Blackwater City. They originally had an unspeakable secret, and they could even throw the blame on me!” Yuan Jing’s explanation made the other elders nod silently. The Blazing Cloud Pavilion had such strength.

“And what does the destruction of their Blazing Cloud Pavilion branch have to do with me! Maybe it was the Nine Yin Province that destroyed it, and the Blazing Cloud Pavilion destroying the city was retaliation!” Yuan Jing added.

Everyone felt that this speculation was very reasonable. The Heavenly Profound Sect had taken a huge fall for the Blazing Cloud Pavilion this time.

Hai Tiangong didn’t express his opinion after listening, because he didn’t believe it was done by the Blazing Cloud Pavilion.

To be able to do such a thing…

Perhaps only Liu Shuangji, that woman!

Destroying Blackwater City was easy for her, and she wanted to monopolize the Heavenly Secret Box for herself!

She kept saying it was for the Crimson Cloud Nation, but in fact, it was for herself. Did she really think such a small trick could hide from me?

Liu Shuangji, you really underestimate me, Hai Tiangong!

“This will make a trip to the Green Mountain Sect. You all watch over the sect.”

Yuan Jing worriedly cupped his hands and said, “Sect Master, please reconsider.”

“Not going would fall into their trap. Besides, if this Sect Master wants to return, Liu Shuangji can’t stop me.” Hai Tiangong immediately became majestic, as if he didn’t put Liu Shuangji in his eyes at all, which gave the elders a sense of reassurance.

Green Mountain Sect.

As the number one sect in the Crimson Cloud Nation, it gave off a different feeling.

The mountain gate stood tall, cast from an entire block of profound iron, with eight ancient seal characters “Green Mountains immortal, Grand Dao everlasting” inscribed upon it. The brushstrokes were sharp, and there was a faint flow of sword qi.

On either side of the gate pillars, a bronze Qilin stood, glaring fiercely with heads held high, claws pressing down on auspicious clouds, as if guarding the sect and deterring evil.

On the main peak, the Azure Heaven Hall stood suspended in the air. The hall roof was covered with azure jade glazed tiles, reflecting the sunlight with shimmering green light, like waves rising from a vast ocean.

In front of the hall, there were seventy-two steps of white jade, each inscribed with a sword art mental cultivation method. If a disciple had extraordinary comprehension, they could see sword intent manifest as they ascended the steps, like a swimming dragon or a startled swan, flowing endlessly.

In the distance, nine sword peaks encircled the main sect, each peak topped with a long rainbow of sword qi that never dispersed day or night, like nine heavenly swords suspended in the air, protecting the sect.

Waterfalls cascaded down the mountains, flowing into a cold pond. The pond water was crystal clear but unfathomably deep. Legend had it that an ancient fierce beast was suppressed at the bottom of the pond, and only successive sect masters could unlock the seal.

In the back hall, Liu Shuangji sat cross-legged, constantly pondering how to break through.

But recently, there had been too many vexing matters, both internal and external.

Liu Shuangji didn’t believe Yuan Jing dared to defy her, nor did Hai Tiangong.

As for the Blazing Cloud Pavilion, even if Huang Hun had eight hundred guts, he wouldn’t dare.

So Liu Shuangji came to a conclusion: there was a mysterious force emerging from within, and this force was most likely from the Blazing Flame Nation. The purpose was simple: to stir up hatred between the major sects.

What a cunning method!

If she could break through to the Cavernous Profound Realm, would the Blazing Flame Nation still dare to be so presumptuous!

And these sect masters, they didn’t even use their brains, letting the Blazing Flame Nation laugh at them.

Suddenly, a black figure appeared beside her, slender, dressed in a black gauze robe with gold patterns, slender legs, a voluptuous figure, and a face that was even comparable to Liu Shuangji’s.

Liu Shuangjiao

“Sect Master.” Liu Shuangjiao respectfully called out.

The two were not sisters by blood, but rather senior and junior sisters, both adopted by the previous sect master.

Liu Shuangji still kept her eyes closed, and asked faintly, “How is the investigation?”

“Blackwater City and the Blazing Cloud Pavilion branch were both done by the same group of people.” Liu Shuangjiao said in a low voice, her gaze appearing very calm.

“Are they from the Blazing Flame Nation?”

“Not yet confirmed, but these people should be able to burrow into the ground. I don’t know which sect in the Blazing Flame Nation, and their number is probably around 1000.”

“Burrowing…” Liu Shuangji opened her eyes, and her mind began to search for known information, but there was no familiar presence.

Liu Shuangjiao stood quietly without speaking, seemingly accustomed to this way of interacting.

Liu Shuangji waved her hand, and a map of the Crimson Cloud Nation appeared.

Looking at the two affected areas, only the Purple Cloud Mountain Range remained nearby.

“Have you investigated there?”

Liu Shuangjiao was slightly startled, and said faintly, “The Purple Cloud Mountain Range is full of low-level demonic beasts, there’s no investigative value.”

“Go take a look.”

Before Liu Shuangjiao could reply, a disciple’s voice sounded from outside: “Sect Master, the Heavenly Profound Sect Master Hai Tiangong has arrived.”

Liu Shuangji responded.

Liu Shuangjiao cupped her hands and said, “Sect Master, this subordinate will now investigate this low-level Purple Cloud Mountain Range.”

“Junior Sister, why do you have to be like this? When no one else is around, you can call me Senior Sister.” Liu Shuangji said softly, looking at her junior sister who was about to leave.

Liu Shuangjiao didn’t turn back, and said indifferently, “Master said that rules are rules, and we should all abide by them.” After speaking, Liu Shuangjiao disappeared from the spot, her strength also quite formidable.

After leaving, Liu Shuangjiao looked coldly at the peak, long annoyed by her high and mighty demeanor, always causing trouble!

I just won’t go, what can you do!

Instead of placing suspicion on the unrelated Purple Cloud Mountain Range, Liu Shuangjiao felt that this group of people would act again, and their target was very likely the Blazing Cloud Pavilion branch, to frame the Heavenly Profound Sect.

Staking out was Liu Shuangjiao’s idea, and she flew directly in the opposite direction of the Purple Cloud Mountain Range.
