Immortal Dynasty Hounds

Chapter 51 Thousand Faces Breaking Defense
Lian Shanxin instantly felt a sense of urgency.

Du Jiu and Qi Wenbin had explained the internal situation of "Nine Heavens" to him, mainly dividing it into three major factions.

The reclusive masters rarely leave the mountains; as long as you don't provoke them, they won't cause you any trouble.

The faction that wants to maintain the status quo mostly stays at headquarters, making it difficult for Lian Shanxin to reach them, and these people generally don't actively seek trouble with others.

Only the weakest faction is very hawkish.

Qi Shiyun is the leading figure in this school of thought.

There are several other guys like Qi Shiyun.

“I can’t see any talent for cultivating immortality, but Shiyun said your talent is no worse than hers, so what you lack is time.”

Zhang Aniu offered a friendly reminder: "Those young masters and prospective young masters have a similar mindset to you right now. They are still young and eager to make a name for themselves. The difference is that they are much stronger than you."

Lian Shanxin said that might not be the case.

Give him a few days to fully grasp the true meaning of Dragon Slaying, and he can try to break through to the True Meaning Realm.

"Are most of these young masters and prospective young masters at the Grandmaster level?"

"nature."

"Then the students will work hard."

It's just a matter of perspective.

It's just a princess, isn't it?

If one princess is not enough, then add a governor.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

Five years from now, three seats in 'Nine Heavens' will be vacant.

The information revealed by "Heavenly Sword" startled Lian Shanxin: "Does 'Nine Heavens' periodically change its personnel?"

"Naturally, His Majesty said that regular blood transfusions are more conducive to maintaining the combat effectiveness of 'Nine Heavens'."

Lian Shanxin wanted to ask, since His Majesty is so knowledgeable, why not abdicate in favor of the Crown Prince?

But he endured it.

Consider the sake of your entire family.

"Moreover, many highly skilled individuals dislike fame, fortune, and trouble. They are happy to have a more leisurely life after giving up their positions. Five years from now, the 'Heavenly Physician,' 'Heavenly Master,' and 'Heavenly Calculator' will step down, but the replacements will not necessarily be from their own lineage. Instead, the best will be chosen. The title of 'Nine Heavens' can be changed at any time. Therefore, these young masters will be very motivated in the next five years."

Lianshan understood.

It also gave me a completely new understanding of "Nine Heavens".

No wonder it has been able to last for a thousand years, just like the imperial court.

"Nine Heavens" is not lacking in strength, nor in the wisdom to retreat gracefully, nor in the profound heritage passed down for thousands of years.

It truly is an unparalleled, razor-sharp sword that protects the nation; however, it is perhaps a little too sharp.

After all, this Zhang Aniu in front of us is the one who blinded the princess and rose to power.

Qi Shiyun is being a bit too audacious.

Like Lian Shanxin, many of the higher-ups in "Nine Heavens" are lawless.

"It seems that I will have to make some more contributions before they arrive in Jiangzhou."

He had a relationship with Qi Shiyun, but not with the other factions. They were all young and wouldn't be modest, Lian Shanxin knew this clearly.

"My lord, I believe I have a pair of eyes that can see through people's hearts, so I will take my leave and wander around the academy."

Always stay with me.

He wanted to discover a few more demonic figures from the evil cult.

"Go."

Zhang Aniu did not stop him.

The young masters and prospective young masters of other factions were all anxious, but he was not.

He's already past that stage.

"Shiyun...it seems he still lacks the accumulation to reach the Domain Realm. He is indeed not as good as me."

Sensing the aura emanating from Qi Shiyun, Zhang Aniu shook his head.

……

Kuangshan. Deep in the clouds, its whereabouts unknown.

An eagle cries.

"Thousand Faces" raised his hand.

An eagle swooped down from the sky and landed directly on Qianmian's hand.

Thousand Faces touched the eagle's feathers with his left hand, then took a small bamboo tube from the eagle's claw.

Then he patted the eagle's head and said with a smile, "Fly, the sky is your home."

The eagle seemed to understand human nature, and actually nodded at Qianmian.

Then it flapped its wings and flew into the sky, quickly disappearing from sight.

After the eagle left, Qianmian opened the bamboo tube and poured out a letter.

After quickly reading it, Qianmian was furious.

"Bastard thing."

"Master, what did the letter say?"

A man stood behind Qianmian, and was startled when he saw Qianmian's fury.

Qianmian snorted coldly: "The news from Shenjing City is that my identity was exposed because someone sent a letter of denunciation to the 'Nine Heavens' headquarters."

The man was taken aback: "Master, who knows your true identity?"

Thousand Faces said with hatred, "Only 'Blood Guanyin' and the cult leader know."

Even his apprentices didn't know his true identity before the incident.

The man grew increasingly astonished: "Could it have been the cult leader who did it?"

Thousand Faces looked at the other person as if he were an idiot: "If the sect leader wanted to kill me, why go through all this trouble?"

"Does the 'Blood Guanyin' have a grudge against you, Master?"

Thousand Faces was enraged again: "I only attacked her once when she was advancing to the Dharma Aspect stage, why did she have to go this far?"

man:"……"

"The Holy Cult brothers are at odds with each other, but unite against external threats. 'Blood Guanyin' actually used 'Nine Heavens' to attack me; this is simply outrageous."

Qianmian grew increasingly angry as he spoke: "For the sake of the Holy Cult, I have painstakingly infiltrated the White Deer Cave Academy for decades, sacrificing countless lives, only to have it all exposed by this fool for internal strife. How can we accomplish the great cause of the Holy Cult with such a worm by our side?"

The man advised, "Master, please calm down. Perhaps there is a misunderstanding. The news from the capital city may not be true."

Thousand Faces snorted coldly: "'Blood Guanyin' appeared in the capital city seven days ago. What a coincidence that there is in this world."

The man was startled: "Does 'Nine Heavens' know about this?"

"They probably don't know yet."

The man lowered his head.

I am secretly glad that I made the right decision to surrender to my master.

However, this Holy Church... seems both reliable and not very reliable.

Just as he was thinking this, he heard Thousand Faces speak again: "Since 'Blood Guanyin' started the first day of the month, don't blame me for starting the fifteenth. It's time for the Holy Sect to undergo a thorough overhaul. Anyone can use someone else to do their dirty work."

In the end, Qianmian said with a chilling aura, "Xiang Wen, I will give you a list. Borrow Zhang Aniu's sword and cut off all of 'Blood Guanyin's' hands that have reached into Jiangzhou City. This will allow you to firmly establish yourself in Bailudong Academy."

If Lian Shanxin were here right now, he would definitely recognize that the man behind Qianmian was Lin Xiangwen, whom he had humiliated yesterday.

"By the way, I never expected that you, Xiang Wen, would abandon the darkness and offer your loyalty to me."

Qianmian turned around, his eyes full of admiration as he looked at Lin Xiangwen: "There aren't many people with your discerning eye these days, Xiangwen. What do you want from your teacher?"

Lin Xiangwen hesitated for a moment.

"No need to hide it. I never mistreat my own people. Just say it," Qianmian said magnanimously.

Lin Xiangwen no longer hesitated: "After Master defeats Tianjian, could you only cripple his cultivation and bestow him upon me?"

Thousand Faces: "?"

Seeing Lin Xiangwen's evasive gaze, Qianmian broke down for the second time today.

"How can the great cause of the Holy Church be accomplished while you, a bunch of vermin, are together?"
