Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 320

Chapter 320: Invincible Heavenly Venerable Joins, Who Is the Traitor?

With Zhuge Feng stepping into the venerable realm, a new peak of cultivation fever swept through the Heavenly Dao Sect.

All the disciples threw themselves into training, striving to be the first to glimpse the Eldest Senior Brother’s back.

The day after Zhuge Feng’s successful tribulation, a figure returned to the Heavenly Dao Sect.

“Junior Brother Feiyu, you’re finally back. Do you know what you missed?!”
“Senior Brother Feiyu, our Heavenly Dao Sect now has a disciple in the venerable realm!!”

As soon as Han Feiyu returned, he saw the excited expressions on everyone’s faces.

“Huh?”
He was a bit stunned—could it be he’d been discovered??

Impossible—he’d been so careful, even going all the way to the coast of Northern Xuan Prefecture!

“Let’s go, to the celebration feast. Congratulations to the Eldest Senior Brother for stepping into the Void Refinement realm—henceforth he’s a venerable!”
“Heh heh, we’ll give the Eldest Senior Brother a badass venerable title!!”

So the Eldest Senior Brother had broken through too!

Han Feiyu breathed a sigh of relief; good that no one had noticed him!

…………..

That day, the Heavenly Dao Sect received an important guest!

A group of heavenly venerables from the Heavenly Dao Sect had assembled, gazing at an old man in the Great Hall.

“Alas, four thousand years ago I fought desperately, slaying two great generals of the Heavenly Palace, but ultimately we were outnumbered. I was gravely wounded and forced into slumber.”
“I never expected to wake up and find that four thousand years had passed, and the world had changed so drastically!”
“That cursed Heavenly Palace destroyed the Former Heaven-Defying Sect, established the Immortal Alliance, and completely forgot the teachings of the old Peerless Sect Master, exploiting their own people!”
“Fortunately, with the rise of the Heavenly Dao Sect, I can see hope. I have come today to submit myself to the Heavenly Dao Sect!”
“Many present here are my old friends. Four thousand years—time has aged us all.”
“I hope the Sect Master of the Heavenly Dao Sect can take in this homeless, solitary old man.”

As he spoke, the old man produced a jade token to prove his identity.

He was the Former Heaven-Defying Sect’s Sixth Elder: Haohai Heavenly Venerable!

“You old fellow, we hadn’t heard from you in four thousand years—so you didn’t die after all!” the Ancestor of the Pill Sect chuckled, recognizing him.

Gu Xuan and Thunderclap also nodded, confirming his identity—it was indeed the Former Sect’s Sixth Elder.

Moreover, Haohai Heavenly Venerable had once clashed massively with Heavenly Palace venerables—the battle fluctuations had been enormous, and they had sensed them.

After that battle, Haohai had indeed been absent for four thousand years.

Everyone present, except Su Bai, watched. Only Nameless frowned slightly, feeling that something was off.

But he didn’t know much about that former Sixth Elder; back then he had only been a disciple and hadn’t had access to such high-level figures. He knew the Great Elder because the Great Elder had saved him—thus they had a connection.

“Have you all confirmed his identity?” Su Bai looked at Haohai Heavenly Venerable with a faint, ambiguous smile, then asked.

“Yes, it’s him.”
“What he says is also true. I saw his battle with the Heavenly Palace’s venerable back then.”
“Though four thousand years have passed, I can confirm he is the Former Sect’s Sixth Elder.”

The heavenly venerables all nodded, affirming his identity.

“Very well. In that case, the Heavenly Dao Sect welcomes Haohai Heavenly Venerable’s joining!” Su Bai nodded and agreed.

“Thank you!”

Upon hearing this, Haohai Heavenly Venerable felt his heart immediately ease.

So the Heavenly Dao Sect really does desperately need an Invincible Heavenly Venerable!!

They agreed so easily—this is far too simple!

He had even prepared a whole act, but it turned out he didn’t need any of it.

With such a loose sect, wouldn’t it be effortless for him to control it??

“Haohai Heavenly Venerable, from now on, you will be Elder Hao Hai of our Heavenly Dao Sect.”

Su Bai said with a smile as he looked at Haohai Heavenly Venerable. At the same time, beside him there appeared a line of information only he could see.

Name: Li Sanshui

Age: 8,921 years

Cultivation base: Late Tribulation Transcendence

Title: Haohai Heavenly Venerable

Origin: Heavenly Palace

Sect loyalty: 0

“Sect Master Su, I have long admired you. Under your leadership, I am certain we can avenge the Former Heaven-Defying Sect and uproot the Heavenly Palace!”

“I am willing to follow Sect Master Su, to brave fire and water, to die a thousand deaths without regret!!”

Haohai Heavenly Venerable directly knelt to Su Bai.

“Elder Hao Hai, you flatter me. We are both members of the Heavenly Dao Sect—there is no need for such formality!”

Su Bai smiled faintly, reached out to help Haohai to his feet, and added, “With Elder Hao Hai joining, I should accompany you to look around.”

“Unfortunately I have an honored guest coming tonight; let Elder Dan accompany you instead. I ask Elder Hao Hai to understand.”

Su Bai said apologetically.

“Hahaha, Sect Master Su, not at all! Honored guests take priority!”

“In that case, I shall take my leave for now!!”

“We will gather another day!”

“Then we’ll have a proper drink together!!”

Hearing Su Bai’s arrangement, Haohai Heavenly Venerable did not refuse; instead a glint appeared in his eyes.

Honored guest………

Could someone outrank him, this Invincible Heavenly Venerable??

Could it be—the mole planted within the Heavenly Palace??

At that thought, Haohai Heavenly Venerable felt much more at ease. It seemed that, having just joined, he could already catch the mole!

“Then thank you, Elder Hao Hai.”

Su Bai also smiled faintly and saw Haohai Heavenly Venerable off.

After Haohai Heavenly Venerable left, a light smile appeared in Su Bai’s eyes.

The Heavenly Palace is playing tricks with me?

Fine, then I’ll play a scheme within a scheme with you!!!

His gaze turned to “Flame Heavenly Lord.” “Flame Heavenly Lord” immediately nodded.

……………

Night was black and the wind was high. A sneaky figure quietly crept to the side of the Heavenly Dao Sect’s Great Hall.

Su Bai sat alone inside the Great Hall, seemingly waiting for someone to arrive.

After an unknown length of time, Su Bai looked toward a spot and smiled: “Friend, you’re here—why not show yourself? Last time, without your information, my Heavenly Dao Sect’s disciples would have suffered great losses!”

“The Sect Master of the Heavenly Dao Sect is too polite. Who doesn’t know the Heavenly Palace is treacherous? As long as the Sect Master fulfills the promised terms, I will certainly provide the Sect Master with more information!”

A figure appeared before Su Bai and sat opposite him.

This scene was overheard by the stealthy figure hiding nearby.

“So it really is that mole who leaks information!”

“Let me see who this traitor is!”

Haohai Heavenly Venerable hid in a corner, masking his aura and peeking through a gap to observe.

When he saw this person’s face, a sharp light flashed in Haohai Heavenly Venerable’s eyes.

“So it is him after all!”

“Damn it, the faction he defected to really is unreliable!!”
