Chapter 166: Overthinking

Chapter 166: Overthinking

The battle finally came to an end with the deaths of the two Daoist priests.

But the collateral damage of their battle remained.

Those who died could not be revived.

The only consolation for Lin Jiufeng was that he had successfully avenged their deaths.

“Why are the people from the Dao sects so unscrupulous as to fight at such a crowded place?”

The white cat didn’t understand.

Lin Jiufeng shook his head and replied, “I didn’t expect that they would fight here when there are so many places for them to fight among the countless mountains and ravines of the world. In fact, they could even fight above the clouds!”

“The internal strife of the Dao sects that Dachun mentioned seems to be already at the point of no return.” Lin Jiufeng muttered and lowered the carriage’s curtain.

The white cat drove the carriage away from the war-torn land.

The rest of the recovery work would be handled by the officials of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Lin Jiufeng had already avenged the dead by killing the culprits.

The carriage continued to travel from the Central Plains to the Northern Regions.

As for the two Daoist priests that died, Lin Jiufeng didn’t think about them at all.

No one knew that they died in his hands.

The carriage swayed and continued its journey to the Central Plains.

…

In the place where the two Daoist priests died, other Daoist priests soon appeared.

“Senior Brother Ma Liang was killed by someone from the Five-Rice Daoist Sect!”

A young Daoist priest shouted angrily.

“Bullsh*t! That Daoist Priest Ma Liang from your Quan Zhen Sect must be the one that killed my Senior Brother Yulin!” A Daoist priest in the distance rebutted.

The two Daoist priests that Lin Jiufeng killed were from the Quan Zhen Sect and the Five-Rice Dao Sect.

They were both cornerstones of their respective sects.

“The Five-Rice Dao Sect and the Quan Zhen Sect have the same lineage. Yet, you guys can actually be so vicious. You all are simply devoid of conscience!”

“You are ruining the reputation and prestige of our Dao sects…”

“You monsters!” An Uncle-Master from the Quan Zhen Sect stood forward and berated.

He put down the hat of righteousness first and placed his sect up on a pedestal.

“Stop trying to frame us…”

“What do you mean by ruining the reputation of the Dao sects?”

“The Five-Rice Dao Sect can’t bear the weight of such an accusation!”

“We are all people of the Dao sects, what use is there in using such a trick against each other?”

“Today, your Quan Zhen Sect has abused your authority to bully others.”

“By relying on your strength, you casually killed a fellow Daoist priest who are also people of the Dao sects. Before our ancestor’s corpse, we—the Five-Rice Dao Sect—will definitely properly denounce you all!”

An old Daoist priest from the Five-Rice Dao Sect couldn’t stand by anymore.

He coldly announced.

There were more than ten people on both sides, and they all knew that Ma Liang and Yulin were killed by someone else. But regardless of whether they were killed by someone else, they had to put the blame on the other party.

This way, they would be able to gain the upper hand in the Ancestral Ruins.

As for who the murderer was?

They did not have the time to think about the culprit.

What they wanted was the right to occupy the Ancestral Ruins

The internal strife of the Dao sects was all because of the ruins of a Daoist ancestor.

Every traditional Dao sect had the right to compete for it and none of them planned on compromising.

For this reason, they battled against each other.

They could even temporarily not take revenge for their fellow sect members who were killed by others.

Instead, they would first accuse the other party of their deaths.

The truth didn’t matter anymore, what was important was causing trouble.

The Quan Zhen Sect and the Five-Rice Dao Sect immediately did what they were supposed to do. Both sides argued endlessly, but because they were evenly matched, they didn’t dare to fight due to the risk of mutual destruction.

“The Five-Rice Dao Sect killed a disciple of the Quan Zhen Sect…”

“We must take our revenge.”

“I will go and report this to the Sect Leader and ask him to denounce you guys in front of the Ancestral Ruins.” The Uncle-Master of the Quan Zhen Sect waved his hand and asked a disciple to bring Ma Liang’s corpse away.

“Do you really think that only the people from the Quan Zhen Sect have mouths and that those from the Five-Rice Dao Sect are mutes?” The old Daoist priest from the Five-Rice Dao Sect coldly snorted.

He also got his disciples to bring Yulin’s corpse away.

The meeting between both sides was filled with tension, but they only said a few harsh words before going their own way.

The Quan Zhen Sect disciples left with Ma Liang’s corpse.

A young Daoist priest asked curiously.

“Uncle-Master, Senior Brother Ma Liang was obviously pierced through his glabella with a sword. His Divine Soul was also ruthlessly cut into pieces. That Yulin of the Five-Rice Dao Sect also died in this manner…”

“Why did you say that Senior Brother Ma Liang was killed by the Five-Rice Dao Sect?”

“You are still young… Let Uncle-Master explain.”

“At this critical moment, no matter who killed Ma Liang, we must all say that the culprit must be someone from the Five-Rice Dao Sect.” the Uncle-Master from Quan Zhen Sect explained.

“Just like how the Five-Rice Dao Sect insisted that our Quan Zhen Sect killed Daoist Priest Yulin?” The Little Daoist priest asked.

“Yes…” The Uncle-Master nodded. “Right now, the few major Daoist sects, including our Quan Zhen Sect, are all surrounding the Northern Mountains. We are still very restrained in our actions. We are just waiting for the day when the Ancestral Ruins appears…”

“Once that day arrives, a world-shocking battle will surely occur. Your Senior Brother Ma Liang is hot-tempered and fought against Daoist Yulin, resulting in him losing his life. We must investigate this matter thoroughly when we’re done with the Ancestral Ruins.”

“Yes, we must avenge Senior Brother Ma Liang!” The Little Daoist priest nodded firmly.

On the other side, the people of the Five-Rice Dao Sect also warned their disciples as they explained to them the rationale behind the argument of both sects earlier.

“The equilibrium of the situation is about to be destroyed…”

“If anything or something abnormal happens in the Northern Mountains, the equilibrium might truly be destroyed, causing the largest war in the history of the Dao sects.” Someone from the Five-Rice Dao Sect explained.

“There’s an ancient city in the Northern Mountains…”

“But it’s also a place where millions of people live.”

A female Daoist priest raised her hand and said weakly.

Silence!

No one answered!

But the sound of rushing footsteps remained constant.

From the sound of it, the owners of the footsteps have long resolved themselves!

…

After the battle of the two Daoist priests in a densely packed residential area.

Lin Jiufeng became vigilant along the way.

This way, if there was something wrong, he could immediately intervene.

The casualties earlier were the common people of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

They were the common people that Emperor Yuan, Emperor Ming, and Emperor De worked hard to take care of. Although Lin Jiufeng wasn’t the Emperor, he had always been secretly protecting the common people along with the late emperors.

Lin Jiufeng remained in a heightened state of awareness throughout the journey to the Central Plains. But despite his vigilance, nothing happened.

Everything remained peaceful in the three days that passed.

Lin Jiufeng was puzzled. “Didn’t they say that the Central Plains is the world of the Dao sects?”

“The mountains where these Dao sects have established their foundations are located are all located around here…”

“Dachun said that the internal strife in the Dao sects is already intense. The two Daoist priests that we encountered three days ago is enough proof of that, but why hasn’t there been any movement from them in the past three days?”

The white cat shook her head.

She had no idea.

“Perhaps I’m just overthinking…”

Lin Jiufeng shook his head.

Since it has been quiet over the past three days, there was no need for him to be so vigilant anymore.

He looked ahead of him.

A mountain range blocked their path.

“What’s the name of this mountain? It looks quite impressive!” The white cat asked.

“Oh, there’s also an ancient city on the summit of this mountain?”

“That is the famous Northern Mountains of the Central Plains!” Lin Jiufeng replied.

“The ancient city on the Northern Mountains is the famous Northern Mountains Ancient City. It is said that in the previous, previous, previous, and previous era—this ancient city was already established…”

“Millions of people are currently living within its confines today.”

“How about we go there and take a look?” Lin Jiufeng asked with a smile.

“Wait, why are those Daoist priests surrounding this ancient city?”

The white cat’s eyes seemed to be able to see through things.

As a result, she could see things that Lin Jiufeng could not.

“What Daoist priests?” Lin Jiufeng asked quizzically.

But the white cat confidently added.

“They are loitering around the ancient city, there’s so many of them.”

Lin Jiufeng’s Divine Soul immediately swept over.

Hiss!

He gasped.

The city was surrounded by densely packed groups of Daoist priests.

There were even a few of them at the Boundless Realm.

It turned out that he wasn’t overthinking.

The silence of the past three days was truly just the calm before the storm.
