Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses - Chapter 639 - 595: Suppression on Stage

Chapter 639: Chapter 595: Suppression on Stage

“Why would True Monarch Jiemie suddenly involve himself in such a trivial matter?”

“It might not be sudden; perhaps it’s been a long time in the making. Could it be that the Xuan Yin Sect is targeting a certain sect?”

“Every word and action of the True Monarch has its purpose. We onlookers just need to watch the spectacle.”

In the rear, among the jade meditation cushions and stone seats, a group of Golden Core Daoists were exchanging thoughts rapidly with vast spiritual senses.

The black shadow continued to ask, “Which sect is causing trouble, tarnishing the reputation of our Immortal Dao Alliance?”

“The Taiyi Sect,” the gray shadow replied without hesitation.

Suddenly, the atmosphere at the scene became somewhat quiet.

The daoists at the back all showed signs of shock in their eyes and turned their gazes towards one of the unoccupied lotus platforms among the seven.

Surrounding the white light column were seven radiantly glowing lotus platforms, though the distances between the platforms and the light column varied slightly.

Among them, the four occupied platforms were the closest to the light column, while the three unoccupied ones were slightly farther away.

“The Xuan Yin Sect is intending to take on the Taiyi Sect. This is going to be a good show…”

“The Taiyi Sect is rich in heritage, not something the average sect can compare to. Every few millennia, a new True Monarch is born.

However, they are currently in a relatively weak period, with only one elderly True Monarch present. Surely, their influence cannot compare to the thriving Xuan Yin Sect with its several True Monarchs.”

“But I heard that the Sect Leader of the Taiyi Sect, Master Guiyi, is only one step away from that realm…”

After a few dozen breaths.

A wisp of yellow smoke suddenly appeared above the unoccupied lotus platform being watched by everyone.

The shape of the smoke constantly shifted and in an instant transformed into an elderly man with white hair tied up with a jade hairpin, dressed in a yellow robe.

The yellow-robed elder sat cross-legged above the lotus platform in mid-air, his formidable aura overwhelming.

Far surpassing those cultivators on the cushions and stone seats, yet still considerably weaker than the four hazy shadows.

He stood up, bowed towards the four shadows, and said, “Greetings, True Monarchs.”

The black shadow chuckled, “Master Guiyi, your Dao is nearly at perfection, it seems you’re not far behind us.”

“Thank you, Sword Monarch, for your blessing. That step depends wholly on fate and cannot be forced,” replied the yellow-robed elder humbly.

Then he looked at the gray shadow and asked, “From where did True Monarch Jiemie get this information?”

The gray shadow did not waste words, sending a beam of light straight into the air, forming a colorful light screen.

A scene with clear images and sound, like a cinematic experience, emerged from it.

“…Though my disciple perished, he died resisting the Demon Clan, which is fitting and does not disgrace my teachings.

But he carried some of our sect’s treasures, which fell in your Zhao Kingdom, and must be retrieved.

I must trouble you to help find them.”

“What treasures might those be?”

“Top-grade Spirit Stones, a thousand pieces. Suspended Stones, three hundred pounds. Taiyi Geng Gold, a thousand pounds…”

In the scene, a middle-aged man in a blue Daoist robe, with a dignified bearing, stood with his hands behind his back, reprimanding a group of black-robed elders, his tone dismissive.

Upon seeing this man, the surrounding cultivators began to discuss.

“Isn’t this Master Hua Baiyu from the Taiyi Sect?”

“Haha, how is it that the treasures his disciple carried exceed the reserves of some sects’ treasuries? This is utterly ridiculous.”

“This is too much; the Taiyi Sect is truly excessive.”

The scene shifted to a proud-looking man in a yellow robe.

With an irksome mocking smile, he strutted around the hall.

“I am Lei Ye, the steward of the Taiyi Sect Spiritual Treasure Hall responsible for verifying this compensation.”

“What Master Hua previously mentioned about compensation was just a rough estimate. The detailed inventory is here.”

“… This was devised by many of our sect’s Masters. If there are objections, you can take them up with them.”

At this, the discussions among the surrounding cultivators grew louder.

“Didn’t they just say it was the disciple’s lost treasures? How did that turn into compensation now?”

“Arrogant, the Taiyi Sect is truly arrogant.

If they act like this when they’re the weakest among the top sects, what would they be like when a new True Monarch is born?”

“Isn’t this typical of the Taiyi Sect? Don’t you know?”

The gray shadow continued: “As you can see, this Corpse-Driving Sect is a small sect unqualified to join the alliance.

Yet they continually resist the demons, with everyone in the sect shedding blood, earning respect.

You Taiyi Sect, simply because a young disciple perished on their land, demand enormous compensation, is this the conduct of a great sect?”

Despite the indistinct buzz of discussions around him, the yellow-robed elder showed no reaction and his expression remained unchanged.

But after the gray shadow’s criticism, he immediately bowed respectfully and said, “True Monarch Jiemie, your reprimand is right. On returning, I will thoroughly check into this matter.

If true, those responsible will be strictly punished. Please rest assured, True Monarch.”

“What assurance do I need from you? Just don’t forget the original intent of joining the alliance,” the gray shadow said indifferently, showing no courtesy.

Meanwhile, the black shadow was more amenable, mediating, “Master Guiyi, the rules of the Immortal Dao Alliance must not be broken.

After returning to your sect, ensure this matter is investigated and provide a follow-up to us.”

“Understood.”

After speaking, the yellow-robed elder’s form vanished from the air above the lotus platform.

The grand voice of the black shadow continued, “Does anyone have other matters to discuss?”

Seeing no response, he nodded, “Since that’s the case, this Immortal Alliance Conference is concluded.

If there are subsequent matters, feel free to discuss them privately with me, or raise them in the next conference.”

As the black shadow announced the adjournment, the various shadows all successively disappeared from the lotus platforms.

Meanwhile, the figures on the other jade meditation cushions and stone seats gathered in groups of three or five and flew towards the exterior of the palace.
