Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 338

Chapter 338 Su Bai: Thank you for clearing so many great enemies for me!

The traitors… were the Heaven and Earth Society!!!

All the Heavenly Venerables present were stunned.

This news was explosive!!

The Heaven and Earth Society!

Fourteen Heavenly Venerables in all!

Because of that, even after hearing it, everyone was at a loss for how to react for a moment.

Three full breaths passed before they snapped back to attention and hurriedly split into two groups.

One group, naturally, was the fourteen Heavenly Venerables of the Heaven and Earth Society, each with expressions like they’d been constipated.

The other group consisted of the other forty or so Heavenly Venerables, who stared gravely at the Heaven and Earth Venerables, spiritual energy already flowing in their hands, ready to strike at any moment.

“The Sixth Ancestor is in an emergency; the Great Hall has been sealed. What are you waiting for? Kill the Heaven and Earth Society traitors now!” the Heavenly Lord shouted at the other Venerables, and at the same time he was the first to act.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”…….

In an instant, boundless, terrifying pressure exploded from those forty-odd Heavenly Venerables.

“Listen to my explanation—we of the Heaven and Earth Society could never be the traitors!”

“Yes, our Heaven and Earth Society has shown obvious loyalty to the Heavenly Palace!”

“We’ve hated the Heavenly Dao Sect for ages; how could we be their allies!!”

The Heaven and Earth Society’s Heavenly Venerables tried to explain, but their voices were soon drowned out by the endless onslaught.

“Damn it, I never thought of joining the Heavenly Dao Sect—it’s the Heavenly Palace that wanted us gone long ago. Do you think your association is a soft target?!” the Deadly Strike Heavenly Venerable snarled, eyes red, charging at the Heavenly Palace Venerables.

By now, all explanations sounded pale.

What remained was only bloodshed!!

“Rumble!!”

A multi-Heavenly Venerable battle erupted inside the Great Hall; the hall was shattered in an instant, revealing the seven-colored super formation outside the Great Hall.

Through the faintly visible formation, it seemed… the area outside the Heavenly Palace was not calm either!

“How extravagant—an entire palace complex made of supreme grade spirit stones. Too lavish!!”

“Good heavens, eighth-rank spirit grass used as ornamental plants? Can money buy such indulgence?”

“Unbelievable—upper grade spirit veins carved into a dragon barge. That’s sacrilege!!!”

“The sect master said everything valuable is to be packed up and taken!!”

“Hurry, hurry, move faster—don’t let them react!!”

Heavenly Venerables of the Heavenly Dao Sect appeared at the Heavenly Palace Headquarters in Central Prefecture and packed up every valuable they found.

The Grand Venerables of the Heavenly Palace cowered trembling in corners, not daring to stop them.

What a joke—stop Heavenly Venerables?

Do they want short lives?

Above the Nine Heavens, two mighty invincible beings were still locked in fierce combat, meteorites continuously raining down on Central Prefecture, bringing with them a wealth of precious ores.

It was the battle between the Sixth Ancestor of the Heavenly Palace and the Sect Master of the Heavenly Dao Sect!

No wonder the Heavenly Lord received no response when he called for the Sixth Ancestor!!

“Damn, another upper grade spirit vein—this Heavenly Palace is seriously loaded!”

“My goodness, the poverty we lived through on that island before was nothing!!!”

“Our sect master is brilliant—after all this time, not a single Heavenly Palace Venerable showed up!”

“Haha, I’ve found three upper grade spirit veins already and hundreds of middle grade ones!”

“Pfft, you’re too slow—I’ve found twice as many as you!”

“The sect master says this is only the tip of the iceberg. The Heavenly Palace has an even more lavish headquarters. Imagine how many resources that must hold?”

“I can’t even imagine; after all, it’s the accumulation of ten thousand years of the human race on the continent…”

“Elder Hao Hai, why do you have that pained look on your face??”

“Ahem, ahem, old man is happy, I’ve never seen so many spirit stones in my life….”

A group of Heavenly Venerables from the Heavenly Dao Sect kept looting, and soon the Heavenly Palace headquarters in Central Prefecture was stripped clean!

Not even a single floor tile was left!!

Meanwhile, inside the formation, the Heavenly Palace’s internal battle to “eliminate the traitors” had finally ended.

All fourteen Heavenly Venerables of the Heaven and Earth Society were slain on the spot!

However, the Heaven and Earth Society’s power was far from comparable to the Spirit Clan, and the Heavenly Palace’s strength was not as overwhelming as when it once crushed the Spirit Clan.

Especially Deadly Strike Heavenly Venerable—he was an invincible venerable of the Ninth Heaven; when he fought desperately he was terrifying beyond measure, something even the Heavenly Lord could not hold back.

In this battle, aside from the fourteen Heaven and Earth Society Venerables, the Heavenly Palace itself lost as many as six Heavenly Venerables!!

Dozens more Venerables suffered varying degrees of severe injury!

Even in victory, it was a bloody one!

Looking at the forty remaining Heavenly Venerables, the Heavenly Lord’s face, stained with blood, nevertheless broke into a smile.

The traitors had finally been eliminated!!

With the internal menace removed, next they could properly deal with the Heavenly Dao Sect!

“What’s going on with the Sixth Ancestor? If he had acted personally, our Heavenly Palace wouldn’t have lost six Venerables!” the Heavenly Lord frowned, opened the communication jade slip with the Sixth Ancestor, and saw two messages inside.

“The Heavenly Dao Sect has attacked!”

“Bad—Their Sect Master Su Bai is here too!”

Those two messages arrived exactly at the moment he was preparing to execute the Heaven and Earth Society Venerables.

Perfectly timed!!!

“What? The Heavenly Dao Sect has attacked???”

The Heavenly Lord’s expression changed slightly. Through the formation he looked up and indeed felt battle fluctuations coming from the Vault of Heaven.

“Damn, fellow daoists, the Heavenly Dao Sect has attacked—prepare to meet them!!” the Heavenly Lord roared and prepared to withdraw the formation.

“What, fight again?” the other Heavenly Venerables’ faces changed; they were all still wounded from exterminating the Heaven and Earth Society!!

Now they had to fight the Heavenly Dao Sect?

As the formation was lifted, everyone—Heavenly Lord included—stared blankly at the scene outside.

Is this still the Heavenly Palace?

Where had the once-ethereal, radiant Heavenly Palace gone?

Outside, a grand architectural complex that had stretched a million li was now completely bare!!

And the Heavenly Venerables of the Heavenly Dao Sect stood off to the side watching them like spectators.

“Heavenly Dao Sect, damn your immortals!!!” the Heavenly Lord exploded in rage and spat a mouthful of old blood.

His heart was bleeding—an opulent complex spanning a million li, and so many spirit veins underground, all gone!!

And why had the Heavenly Dao Sect waited to attack until this critical moment??

His gaze instantly locked onto Haohai Heavenly Venerable, questioning light flashing in his eyes.

Haohai Heavenly Venerable’s expression shifted. Before he could say anything, Su Bai’s voice rang down from the Ninth Heaven.

“Elder Hao Hai, thank you for clearing so many great enemies for me. In this battle you are the Heavenly Dao Sect’s greatest meritorious one!”

At those words, Haohai Heavenly Venerable’s face stiffened.

Clearly, from that sentence he understood.

Su Bai had known all along that he was the Heavenly Palace’s planted traitor!!

The reason he had been trusted was to use him to weaken the Heavenly Palace’s strength!!

But in the Heavenly Lord’s mind, it meant something else entirely.

Haohai Heavenly Venerable had defected to the Heavenly Dao Sect, passed along false intelligence, and caused them to fight among themselves, needlessly costing more than twenty Heavenly Venerables their lives!!!

All of it—because of him!!!

And he had trusted him so completely!!

The Heavenly Lord immediately roared and surged to kill Haohai Heavenly Venerable.

“Elder Hao Hai, if I don’t kill you today, I’ll cut off my own life here!!”
