Chapter 1251 - 13: The Ruthlessness of the Clan Academy

Yin Sha Sect.

Time had already passed for quite a while without anyone noticing.

The disciples guarding in front of the Saint Hall had already rotated several times, yet the rumored important figures from the True Demon Hall who were supposed to arrive still showed no sign.

Gradually, the originally vigilant guarding disciples began to relax somewhat. If not for the strict rules within Yin Sha Sect, some disciples would probably have already started chatting via telepathy.

The Purple Mansion Realm Elder You Fuchen, stationed at the hall entrance, noticed this and was just about to bark a reprimand when he saw an ethereal white‑robed woman walk out from within the Saint Hall.

You Fuchen Weeiweei froze for a moment, then hurriedly bowed in salute: "Miss Ruobing."

Though he had only seen this woman once before, his impression of her was extremely deep. She was the Sect Leader’s newly accepted Direct Disciple, and it was said she was likely to become the next Sect Leader of Yin Sha Sect. Although her cultivation was about the same as his—both at Purple Mansion Realm—in terms of status, position, and future potential, the difference between them was like heaven and earth.

"Has any news come from the Northern Border defenses?" Wang Longyan cast him a glance and asked casually.

"Replying to Miss, not yet for the time being." You Fuchen answered respectfully, "However, when the big figures of the True Demon Hall travel, the disciples whose cultivation is insufficient may not have the ability to detect them."

"Understood."

Wang Longyan nodded and did not ask further.

For Lingxu Realm Cultivators who were almost standing at the very peak of the world, concealing their tracks for a while was no difficult matter.

Her main purpose in leaving the great hall this time was not to inquire about that, but to ponder how she could find a chance to send information back.

The arrival of True Demon Hall powerhouses at Yin Sha Sect, no matter from which angle one viewed it, was an event that could very likely have an impact on the national level. She had to find a way to send this news back to the family as quickly as possible.

The current Changning Wang Family was already deeply bound together with the Daqian Imperial Family, sharing glory and loss; if one prospered, all prospered, if one suffered, all suffered.

Now, the Great Emperors of Western Jin and Southern Qin had suddenly arrived together at Yin Sha Sect to welcome the envoys of the True Demon Hall. Though she still did not know their specific purpose, she already instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Unfortunately, intelligence analysis was not her strong suit. If Shouzhe were here, perhaps he could have inferred a few more things.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Longyan casually summoned a disciple and instructed, "Our guests have come from afar, and we of Yin Sha Sect ought to do our duty as hosts. Go inform the kitchens and have them prepare some dishes according to the tastes of the Demon Dynasty people, then make some of our local specialties as well, and prepare some of our specialty Spirit Wine. Later, send people to deliver them to the guests."

She remembered Shouzhe had said that there were their own people over in the kitchens. Putting it that way should be about right.

"Yes, Miss Ruobing."

That disciple, upon hearing the order, immediately accepted and left.

Though Wang Longyan had only formally become Qee Hongzhao’s Direct Disciple not long ago and had yet to fully establish her prestige, what she had instructed was just a minor matter, so it was naturally easy to accomplish.

Wang Longyan watched that disciple walk off into the distance and was just about to turn back when she suddenly sensed something off. She jerked her head up, looking toward the sky.

In the sky, at some unknown point, heavy Yin clouds had already gathered, and more Yin clouds were converging in this direction.

Within the swirling Yin clouds.

Suddenly.

A gigantic ship drawn by a Nether Demon Dragon broke through the clouds and instantly appeared above the Saint Hall.

That luxurious hull like a mobile palace, and the brilliant lights all over its body, without exception dealt a tremendous shock to everyone within Yin Sha Sect.

The Mountain Protection Array of Yin Sha Sect reacted almost instantly, and a shadowy Yin Fiend barrier appeared in the sky.

The bottom of that luxurious dragon‑ship in the sky was less than one zhang away from the Yin Sha Grand Array—just a tiny bit more and it would have collided.

A sharp light flashed in Wang Longyan’s eyes as she almost instantly discerned the origin of this flying chariot.

The Saint Hall was the power center of Yin Sha Sect; for someone to dare appear so arrogantly right above the Saint Hall—other than the legendary important figures of the True Demon Hall—there really shouldn’t be anyone else.

"Hahahaha~ That the honored adults of the True Demon Hall are willing to condescend to grace my Yin Sha Sect truly makes our humble place shine. I am Qee Hongzhao, current Yin Sha Demon Monarch—my apologies for not welcoming you from afar, my apologies for not welcoming you from afar."

At the same time that Wang Longyan reacted, Qee Hongzhao, the Yin Sha Demon Monarch within the Saint Hall, and the other two had clearly also noticed the abnormal energy fluctuations outside.

With this loud voice, Qee Hongzhao’s figure appeared at the entrance of the Saint Hall, with Emperor Yuanyou and Emperor Yanqing following behind him.

The three of them all saluted toward the dragon‑ship in the sky, adopting a posture of respectful welcome, as if they did not mind the other party’s tardiness in the slightest.

The relationship between Yin Sha Sect and the True Demon Hall was in fact rather complicated.

The relationship between Lingyun Sacred Land and the Immortal Palace was relatively close. Back then, True Monarch Lingyun was originally an important member of the Immortal Palace. Following the Wu Family ancestor to open up the Barbaric Wilderness was also building an external defensive line for the Immortal Palace, indirectly curbing the development of the Demon Dynasty’s forces.

Even though Lingyun Sacred Land had already separated from the Immortal Palace more than seven thousand years ago, they still maintained close ties with each other.

This specifically manifested in the fact that the successive inheritors of Lingyun Sacred Land, once chosen, would customarily go to the Immortal Palace for further training for a period of time. During that time, the inheritors of Lingyun Sacred Land could interact and spar with the Unparalleled Celestial Prides of the Immortal Palace, forging quite good friendships.

Besides this, the disciples of both sides would from time to time conduct some exchanges, thereby maintaining solid connections.

But Yin Sha Sect was different.
