Chapter 1329: 1329

The flying boat quickly left the Heaven Devouring Forest, no longer suffering any more attacks . Furthermore, as they flew by, the giant trees would open a path for them, which revealed the light of the sun .

“Protector Zhuo is mighty . You managed to completely intimidate those wood idiots . Otherwise, it would have been troublesome,” said a Life Star expert emotionally .

The other Life Star experts nodded . If Zhuo Tianxiang hadn’t managed to intimidate the tree demons, it really would have been troublesome .

“Hmph, those tree demons have been cultivating for too long, even their heads have started to solidify . They’re actually acting more and more unscrupulously . Back then, Pill Valley gave them some s.p.a.ce and respected their living habits . Each time we pa.s.sed, we would slow down . But those idiots actually took that as us being afraid of them . They would block our flying boats several times and threaten us . If we didn’t do this, it probably wouldn’t be long before they started demanding a toll for us to pa.s.s,” sneered Zhuo Tianxiang .

“This detestable Heaven Devouring Forest doesn’t even place Pill Valley in its eyes . It seems our prestige is dropping more and more . It’s all because of those stubborn old b.a.s.t.a.r.ds who are hidebound by convention . Otherwise, who would dare to say a word if we eliminated a few sects like the Xuantian Dao Sect?” raged a Life Star expert .

Long Chen quietly listened . Suddenly, Zhuo Tianxiang glanced at him, and Long Chen knew that this b.a.s.t.a.r.d was about to kick him out, so he took the initiative .

“Seniors, it seems that you’re talking about major cla.s.sified matters . Does disciple need to step away?” probed Long Chen .

Zhuo Tianxiang had been about to send Long Chen away on the pretext of him needing to cultivate . After all, some things weren’t appropriate for him to know . But now that Long Chen had put it like this, he didn’t feel right kicking him out . Although Zhuo Tianxiang still disliked Long San inside, he still felt that raising a powerful genius alchemist would bring him great benefits . If he kicked him out here, it would imply that he still thought of him as an outsider .

“There’s no need, you’re not an outsider, and you can know some things . You just have to remember them in your heart and not bring them up,” said Zhuo Tianxiang in the end .

“In truth, Long San will learn of this sooner or later . Learning it now isn’t a bad thing . ” One of the Life Star experts explained, “Pill Valley can be said to be the strongest power within the entire continent . Whether it’s in terms of power or wealth, we completely beat the Xuantian Dao Sect . If we wanted to, we could crush them like ants . ”

“What’s the Xuantian Dao Sect? Is it very powerful?” Long Chen acted stupid .

“Cough, I forgot you only encountered the alchemy world in the Eastern Wasteland and don’t know anything about sects,” said that elder .

Zhuo Tianxiang had gone through his memories and knew that Long San was completely focused on alchemy and knew very little about the cultivation world . As for mentioning the Xuantian Dao Sect, it was just to vent some of his resentment at them .

“In any case, all you need to know is that Pill Valley is the strongest existence in the world . However, although we have all that power, a group of conservative old men still control Pill Valley . As a result, Pill Valley’s position is dropping more and more in the world, its dignity being erased . Even a declined sect dares to provoke our prestige . It really is infuriating . ”

“Isn’t the cultivation world one where the strong are respected? If they don’t submit, then just beat them . Can’t you just beat them into submission?” asked Long Chen, continuing to try and learn any secrets .

“It’s Pill Valley’s higher-ups . They’re too conservative and refuse to use our power to intimidate the world . It p.i.s.ses me off…”

Hearing that elder’s explanation, Long Chen learned that Pill Valley’s interior was not united . Instead, there was a fierce fight going on inside .

Long Chen summarized that Pill Valley had two factions . One was the conservative faction, while the other was the radical faction . The compet.i.tion between the two sides was extremely intense .

The so-called conservative faction was an advocate for staying neutral and not partic.i.p.ating in any struggles . They focused on alchemy and were indifferent to anything else .

The other faction, the radical faction, was unwilling to let Pill Valley go nowhere like this . Instead, it should be Pill Valley that controlled the continent .

The radical faction criticized the conservative faction for being pedantic . They had also been the ones to allow the Huayun Sect to slowly grow . After all, with Pill Valley existing first, if they had simply annihilated the Huayun Sect with a thunderous blow at the start, there wouldn’t be anyone who could compete with them .

But the conservative faction had its own principles and was indifferent . They felt like representing Pill Valley’s foundation was enough . The rise and fall of the cultivation world had nothing to do with them .

Long Chen hadn’t expected the situation to be like this . But to express his standpoint, he immediately began to curse the conservative faction for not showing initiative and not working on advancing . They stagnated, holding back Pill Valley’s development .
