Chapter 1623: Soaring Powers Power Struggle (1/2)

During the time when their Can Long branch had the highest authority, they chose to support Immortal Emperor Ren Xian.

When the emperor was still young, Forefather Asura took care of the dissenters and was a staunch supporter of him. Later on, the emperor shouldered the Heaven’s Will so Asura became even more respected in Soaring Immortal with a peerless position. This was the reason why he enjoyed so much resources for longevity.

Unfortunately, no flower can bloom for a hundred days. Eventually, the branch finally declined. Forefather Asura’s immense strength alone couldn’t do it all. They were robbed of their power before being pushed out of the political scene completely.

Li Qiye simply smiled and said: “Asura’s current situation is not unexpected. Immortal Emperor Ren Xian might be a man of his words but this doesn’t mean his descendants are the same!”

Lin simply sighed in response. A junior like him wasn’t in a position to discuss the inner politics of his sect.

“I don’t think you’re here today just to chat with me?” Li Qiye looked at Lin and smiled.

Lin sighed in response: “I’m here this time in hope of talking to you about the current situation in Soaring Immortal. Immortal Emperor Ren Xian’s people are in charge.”

Li Qiye replied: “I know, you are saying this isn’t the idea of your entire sect.”

“Yes.” Lin busily said: “We are asking Brother Li to convey the message for us, as well as our respect.”

Li Qiye was amused by this. When he used the Benevolent Armament back then, some old men from Soaring Immortal have guessed a few things. However, they didn’t personally expect for him to actually be out with his real body. They a.s.sumed that Li Qiye’s backing was the Dark Crow.

This misunderstanding was reasonable since, for millions of years, the Dark Crow has only trained emperors and never personally came out. Thus, these old me thought that Li Qiye was the crow’s disciple and representative. This was the reason why they sent Lin here.

“Is that so?” Li Qiye said: “Is this the Can Long’s intent or are you the messenger for the Tun Ri and Ba Mie branches?”

“The two ancestors from the other two branches feel the same way but they couldn’t come themselves due to their withering lifespan.” Lin answered.

Li Qiye shook his head in disapproval: “If those old men knew who they are facing, they needed to understand that they, themselves, must try their best to earn this opportunity. It won’t just fall down from the sky in front of them.”

“The ancestors are aware.” Lin hurriedly explained: “They are doing the best right now to convince the other ancestors so that everyone can be on the same side.”

Li Qiye smiled: “Unfortunately, I don’t see much hope in this. Your sect still came into being with an oppressive and sharp momentum. Looks like your ancestors were ineffective.”

Lin lamented again: “Brother Li, you might not know this but right now, Immortal Emperor Ren Xian’s branch has an unprecedented influence in our sect. Even if our three branches are working together, we might not necessarily be able to suppress that branch. The young ones from that branch, especially, want to rule the nine worlds. That’s why the ancestors can’t convince them right away.”

“A bunch of fools thinking that they’re the heaven’s favorite children.” Li Qiye said flatly: “After so many generations, they still think they have a n.o.bler lineage than any other beings.”

Lin couldn’t help but smile wryly after hearing this. Once again, it would be improper for a junior like him to comment.

“So, your group must have the throne this time around.” Li Qiye stared at him and stated.

“Well…” Lin coughed awkwardly and said: “The ancestors from our three branches, at the very least, do not want to do so. However, Eldest Brother’s ambition for the throne is the decision of the Ren Xian branch. Ancestor Long himself will be the dao protector.”

“Ancestor Long?” Li Qiye asked.

“Ancestor Long’s isn’t well known to the world. His name is Long Zhantian.” Lin quickly answered: “He was born in the later years of the Qian Li generation and even had wanted to compete against Immortal Emperor Yin Tian. His venerable has a grand completion Soaring Immortal Physique, far better than Eldest Brother. His cultivation has reached the highest attainment too.”

“Ancestor Long, as the leader of the young faction, greatly supports Eldest Brother’s effort. He went against all oppositions to help Eldest Brother.” Lin wasn’t all too pleased with this.
