Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 335

Chapter 335 Haohai Heavenly Venerable: Old Man, I’m Very Tight-Lipped!

That day, the Heavenly Dao Sect held another grand feast!
To celebrate the decisive victory in this battle!

“Master, from this battle we seized over a hundred million storage rings—more than all the Heavenly Dao Sect’s rings combined!!”
“Heh heh, and we also got tens of millions of demonic beast carcasses and beast core pearls. Preserve them well; we won’t go hungry in the future!”
“It’s true—students from the Heavenly Palace are wealthy. A single storage ring from a low-ranked Golden Core disciple contains more than my entire nascent soul family’s assets!”
After inventorying everything, Zhuge Feng and the other disciples excitedly tallied the spoils.

“These spoils are the rewards for your victory. Distribute them according to each person’s contribution in this battle—everyone will get a share.”
Su Bai smiled lightly. With a wave of his large hand, he handed out all the rewards.

“Yes, Master!!”
“Give them all out? Sect Master, you’re too kind!!”
“Haha, thank you, Sect Master!!!”
“Sect Master is mighty—may the Heavenly Dao Sect endure!!!”
For a time, the entire Heavenly Dao Sect erupted in cheers.

Su Bai smiled faintly. If he took all these spoils for himself, the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect would have little to say.
But was that necessary?
With these resources, the disciples’ cultivation would accelerate even more!
By now, he no longer lacked such resources.
And the prize of the three grand mystic domains alone was enough for him!
Although the Heavenly Palace had already pillaged the resources from the three grand mystic domains in advance, there were still remnants.
To say nothing else, there were still several thousand spirit veins the Heavenly Palace had not discovered!!
Among them were two upper-grade spirit veins!
Moreover, resources were secondary; the most important thing was winning the hearts of the people!
Four thousand years ago, the Heaven-Defying Sect’s territory covered the entire human Nine Provinces!
Back then, there were no divisions of prefectures!
No distinctions of upper, middle, or lower classes!!
All the people’s descendants naturally longed for the day the Heavenly Dao Sect would reunify the continent.
They longed for the day the human Nine Provinces would all return!

“Ahem ahem, I was in seclusion for less than a month and such big things happened?”
“Sect Master, I heard—you defeated the Heavenly Palace again?”
A figure appeared and came to Su Bai’s side, visibly shocked.
It was Haohai Heavenly Venerable—the Heavenly Palace’s planted traitor inside the Heavenly Dao Sect!
Because the Heavenly Palace had an undercover inside the Heavenly Dao Sect, his service to the sect had to be secret.
Only he and the Heavenly Lord knew.
When the Heavenly Palace and the Heavenly Dao Sect clashed, all the Heavenly Venerables naturally had to show themselves, so before the duel he had found an excuse to enter seclusion to avoid being discovered.
In front of the Heavenly Palace’s venerables, he had said he went into seclusion.
Otherwise, if the Heavenly Palace’s venerables saw him among the Heavenly Dao Sect’s ranks, they’d think he had truly betrayed them!
His identity would be exposed!

“Elder Hao Hai, you hate the Heavenly Palace most of all. It’s a pity you missed the Heavenly Lord’s impotent, wrathful expression.”
Su Bai smiled slightly and said with a look of regret.

“Indeed a pity, but there’s still a long road ahead. The Heavenly Dao Sect is so powerful now—there will be opportunities, hahahaha!” Haohai Heavenly Venerable laughed loudly.
At the same time, his gaze swept the surroundings as he schemed about the new task the Heavenly Lord had given him.
The Heavenly Palace, and a traitor inside the Heavenly Dao Sect!!
His eyes shifted. “I heard about this battle. Sect Master, you truly foresaw everything—calculating all of the Heavenly Lord’s plots down to the last detail!”

“May I ask, Sect Master, do you practice divination?”

Haohai Heavenly Venerable looked at Su Bai with a puzzled expression and asked.

“Su Bai” took a sip of tea, already planning how to trap him further.

“The workings of Heavenly Secrets are so mysterious—how could we possibly peer into them? Even true immortals would hesitate to claim they can control fate.”

“Old Elder Haohai isn’t an outsider, so I won’t hide it from you.”

“This battle—we were able to anticipate the enemy’s moves because, naturally, there is an ally of our Heavenly Dao Sect inside the Heavenly Palace.”

“Su Bai” smiled as he watched Haohai Heavenly Venerable’s expression change; in his mind he was already satisfied.

He took the bait again!

“What a clever move by the Sect Master!”

“Haha, to toy with the Heavenly Palace like that—Sect Master, brilliant!”

“But I wonder, who is this ally in the Heavenly Palace?”

At those words, Haohai Heavenly Venerable immediately echoed him.

At the same time, he quietly committed the statement to memory to use later as evidence.

“Su Bai” smiled and said, “It’s enough that the Elder knows this person exists; their identity must remain secret, for their safety.”

“Not long ago, one of our Heavenly Dao Sect’s allies was discovered by them—alas, we suffered heavy losses!”

Haohai Heavenly Venerable was reluctant to give up; his eyes flicked as he said, “Haha, of course secrecy is needed.”

“But when it’s time to face the Heavenly Venerable of the Heavenly Palace, I’m afraid I won’t be able to tell who’s one of our own—accidentally harming an ally would be terrible.”

“Or do you mean the Sect Master doesn’t even trust me?”

Haohai Heavenly Venerable began to scheme, hoping to learn the ally’s identity from Su Bai’s lips.

Hearing this, “Su Bai” stifled a laugh and feigned hesitation, pondering for a long moment before saying, “Very well. Since Elder Haohai asks earnestly, I will tell you.”

“But please, Elder Haohai, you must absolutely keep this secret. No more than a handful within our Heavenly Dao Sect know of this matter.”

“Only reliable insiders like you can know this identity, to prevent accidentally harming our ally.”

When he spoke the last line, “Su Bai” deliberately lowered his voice.

“Rest assured, my lips are sealed; I would never reveal it!!!”

Hearing that, Haohai Heavenly Venerable slapped his chest and vowed, while inwardly he was overjoyed.

Su Bai, Su Bai, you’re far too trusting!

Young people are young people—unable to tell what should or shouldn’t be said!

Let this old man teach you another lesson!

“Mm, Elder Haohai, it’s not convenient to speak here. Come with me.” “Su Bai” rose and walked into the Great Hall.

Elder Haohai hurried to follow. Su Bai had been so cautious—this information must be true!!

After a moment, the two emerged.

“Elder Haohai, you must, must, must keep this secret!”

“Su Bai” cupped his fist and seriously reminded Haohai Heavenly Venerable.

Haohai Heavenly Venerable was one of the Heavenly Dao Sect’s “great meritorious contributors”!

“Sect Master, rest assured—my lips are extremely tight. I will absolutely guard this secret!!!”

Haohai Heavenly Venerable beat his chest in assurance, his excitement nearly bursting out.

He had just uncovered two waves of traitors; when he returned to the Heavenly Palace, he would be the top contributor!!

Wealth and honor, rapid advancement, attaining immortality—soon enough!

Then he found a secure place and secretly conveyed the information he had just learned to the Heavenly Lord.

What? You think what I just said was nonsense?

Haohai Heavenly Venerable: I said my lips are sealed, but I’m not going to whisper the message with my mouth, am I?

What he didn’t know was that a pair of eyes had been watching him all along………..
