King of Creation-Chapter 748 - 738: Joint Palace Coup

"If they have killed up at the Divine Sect, that would have been outright straightforward!" Zuo Xiong said with a face full of gloom, "You don’t know, Gan Rusong, that old thief, used those seven days to scurry around, and he actually managed to unite the other four major forces within Qinglan Martial City."

"What? He united the other four major forces?" Ye Zhen sucked in a breath sharply.

"Exactly, it was seventeen days ago when Fangg Lifeng, that old thing, led a large group of people and stormed into the Divine Sect. There were individuals like Third Elder Jih Xuan from the Heavenly Net Sect, Duan Yingnian from the Longevity Sect, Yun Chonggao from Yun Family Castle and others who charged into the Divine Sect with Fangg Lifeng. frёewebnoѵēl.com

The most hateful and shameless was the Stars Tower. The other three forces sent just an elder or a commander of their high-level, but the Stars Tower had Tower Master Yan Cong personally show up."

"These despicable guys gathered inside the Divine Sect, each one clamoring that you are reckless and brutal to the extreme, almost a devil, demanding the Sect Hierarch to hand you over to them to ’act for heaven’!" Zuo Xiong said, grinding his teeth in anger.

"It’s infuriating that the high-ranking officials inside the Divine Sect, in front of these people, collectively lost their voice! They don’t even think about the Supreme Spirit Vein they are enjoying now, who risked their lives to get it!

At the critical moment, nobody spoke up; they collectively turned cowardly."

Hearing this, Ye Zhen managed a bitter smile. This move by the Profound Moon Sect was really ruthless.

They actually united the four major forces of Qinglan Martial City to stage a coup.

There’s no need to mention the Stars Tower; it has always been a mortal enemy of Ye Zhen. Previously, Ye Zhen had even killed Yan Yijun, a genius martial artist from the Yan Family of the Stars Tower. It wasn’t just about someone inviting them; smelling the scent, they would probably rush eight hundred miles to find trouble with Ye Zhen.

The grudge between Longevity Sect and Ye Zhen started from Yang Zhengxi and continued to the rumors incident afterward. The two sides were utterly incompatible, and naturally, with an Establishment King summoning, they would come looking for trouble with Ye Zhen.

Yun Family Castle originally didn’t have much grievance with Ye Zhen. However, Yun Ce had been turned into an idiot directly by Ye Zhen, even under the plea of Yun Family Castle’s Fort Lord Yun Chongxiao, thus making this grudge significantly deep.

Now, they naturally would come looking for trouble with Ye Zhen.

As for the Heavenly Net Sect, speaking of it, there wasn’t much enmity with Ye Zhen. All their interactions were in the Trial Secret Realm and the Spirit Returning Ranking Competition, with merely one or two disciples dying on both sides, quite normal.

Such grievances are something the Five Great Sects experience every five years; logically speaking, Heavenly Net Sect shouldn’t have gotten involved in this matter.

But the problem is, Heavenly Net Sect did get involved, and that made this matter worth pondering.

Thinking superficially, Heavenly Net Sect might just be unable to lose face, making a show of a gesture, but it shouldn’t be that simple. If the Heavenly Net Sect has other intentions, then this coup initiated by the Profound Moon Sect against Ye Zhen might have changed its flavor.

In an instant, Ye Zhen thought of many possibilities, his eyes blazing as he looked at Zuo Xiong, "What’s the Sect Hierarch’s stance?"

Zuo Xiong’s expression became somewhat awkward, "This time, the Sect Hierarch’s stance has been somewhat ambivalent; he neither agreed nor refused.

However, I think the Sect Hierarch is definitely still protecting you. For more than half a month now, the Sect Hierarch has been quibbling with them, and it’s truly not been easy!"

Saying this, Zuo Xiong’s expression darkened, "It’s just that, other people within the sect aren’t so great. We wanted to notify you, but without your Talisman Communication, and trying to retrieve the Talisman Communication imprint you left at the Inner Affairs Hall, we couldn’t even get that!

In desperation, we resorted to this clumsy method, gambling on you being here! Even this was only possible because of the order from Commander Nian to his men to cooperate; otherwise, I wouldn’t have had so many hands to employ," Zuo Xiong said.

"Commander Nian, Nian Xinghe?" Ye Zhen’s expression shifted.

"Yes, you probably didn’t know, but Nian Xinghe has been promoted to the commander of the Earth Camp at the Inner Affairs Hall, in charge of intelligence affairs," Zuo Xiong said.

"One shouldn’t speak of gratitude for a great kindness, I shall repay it later!" Ye Zhen solemnly bowed to Zuo Xiong, saying honestly, carrying a hundred men tirelessly for over ten days; this sentiment, this perseverance, was enough for Ye Zhen to cherish in his heart.

Inside the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, individuals like Zhu Ling and Yao Sen targeting Ye Zhen, even kicking him when he was down, were very clear to Ye Zhen.

But Tian Guizhang’s actions made Ye Zhen somewhat angry.

Ye Zhen was well aware that Tian Guizhang was an Old Fox and absolutely unreliable at critical moments. But Ye Zhen didn’t expect that Tian Guizhang, this Old Fox, in such a life-threatening situation, completely disregarding the various benefits Ye Zhen had brought him before, refused even to send a Talisman Communication, which was extremely chilling to Ye Zhen.

On the contrary, it was Zuo Xiong and Nian Xinghe who covertly tipped him off, deeply moving Ye Zhen.

"What are you saying, Hall Master Ye, in the Trial Secret Realm, if it hadn’t been for you, my life would have been long......"

"If you respect me, consider us brothers from now on!"

Ye Zhen bluntly interrupted Zuo Xiong, and Zuo Xiong was overjoyed, "Alright, as long as Hall Master....." under Ye Zhen’s glare, Zuo Xiong somewhat embarrassingly opened his mouth, "I am a few years older, brother, if ever you need anything, just say the word. Through fire and sword, I won’t hesitate!"

"Brother Zuo, if you ever need to carry out some killing, setting fires, drinking, or finding beauties, you absolutely mustn’t forget me!"

Saying this, Ye Zhen and Zuo Xiong looked at each other and burst into loud laughter simultaneously.

"Right, Brother Zuo, have you seen Fengh Qingyue?" Ye Zhen asked after laughing.

Zuo Xiong suddenly smacked his forehead, "Look at me, I was just about to tell you about this. Hall Master Fengh came back nine days ago, looking a bit odd.

But as soon as he heard about this matter, he rushed to find the Sect Hierarch, and then, I don’t know!"

"I don’t know anymore? What does that mean?" Ye Zhen was taken aback, his face full of anxiety.

"After she went to see the Sect Hierarch, no brother has seen Master Fengh since. These past few days I haven’t been in the Divine Sect, and no extra news has come either!

Just wait a moment, I’ll send a Talisman Communication to Nian Xinghe. That guy definitely cares about Master Fengh’s situation..." As he spoke, Zuo Xiong’s voice halted, his face turning awkward, "Brother, look at me talking, you shouldn’t take it....."

Ye Zhen stopped Zuo Xiong’s gesture, "Brother Zuo, do you really think I, Ye Zhen, would be so petty?"

"Shall I send the Talisman Communication then?"

"No need, I’ll go back and find her myself after I return. As long as I know she has returned to the Divine Sect, I will be reassured," said Ye Zhen.

Zuo Xiong’s face changed dramatically, "What, Brother, you’re still planning to go back? What for, is it to court death?"

"The Sect Hierarch is currently contending with them, using your absence due to Cultivation as an excuse to stall. I guess the Sect Hierarch’s strategy is to stall until they disperse on their own!

If you were to go back now, wouldn’t that be like walking into the tiger’s lair?

If you actually reveal yourself within Qinglan Martial City, by then, even the Sect Hierarch might not be able to protect you!"

"Brother, listen to my advice, leave this place as soon as possible and go to a secluded spot to rigorously Cultivate for two or three years before returning! If you drag this out for two or three years, those people might disperse by then." Zuo Xiong earnestly advised.

Ye Zhen’s expression suddenly became stern, "What if those people, unable to find me, unite and attack the Divine Sect?"

Zuo Xiong appeared stunned, "That... they wouldn’t dare, right? It’s not likely... hasn’t everything been peaceful for a hundred years?"

"They didn’t dare before because there was no external force involved, but now with the Profound Moon Sect stepping in, it’s unpredictable!

Furthermore, who says I must flee when facing them, and hide my identity like a dog that lost its home?" In an instant, Ye Zhen was brimming with vigor!

A look of distress reappeared on Zuo Xiong’s face, "Brother, we Martial Artists value quick resolution of debts of gratitude and enmity, preferring to break rather than bend, but sometimes, it’s necessary to bow your head when it’s time to do so. Besides, occasionally bowing isn’t such a big deal..."

"Brother Zuo, do you see me as someone so rash and thoughtless?" Ye Zhen chuckled.

Zuo Xiong shook his head, "But....."

"Brother Zuo, allow me to think of a strategy!"

Upon hearing this, Zuo Xiong nodded deeply.

After a few moments of thought, Ye Zhen suddenly looked up, "Brother Zuo, did you say that the ones who come to the Divine Sect daily to cause trouble are only from Profound Moon Sect’s Elder Peak, like Fangg Lifeng? Who else is there, how many people from the Profound Moon Sect came?"

"Including Gan Rusong, a total of six people arrived! The others should be staying in Qinglan Martial City. When they came, they openly claimed that they must capture you." Zuo Xiong replied.

Ye Zhen’s expression shifted, and he asked again, "How about their accommodations, do you know where?"

Zuo Xiong shook his head, "That, I don’t know! However, Nian Xinghe, who manages the Earth Camp in the Inner Affairs Hall, definitely knows. I can send a Talisman Communication."

As he finished, Zuo Xiong suddenly looked at Ye Zhen with a bizarre gaze, "Brother, you aren’t thinking of asking someone to trouble them, are you?

Don’t even think about it. Gan Rusong is an Establishment King from the Establishment Realm, backed by a behemoth like the Profound Moon Sect. Not to mention within Qinglan Martial City, there aren’t many in the whole True Spirit Domain who dare to provoke him.

If you try, I’m afraid you might not even have hired anyone before they sell you out."

"Brother Zuo, do you really think I am that foolish? Don’t worry; just prepare to watch a good show!" Ye Zhen’s expression became exceedingly determined, "Now, send a Talisman Communication to Nian Xinghe asking about their accommodations."

Nian Xinghe looked at Ye Zhen a few times, his face full of confusion. He couldn’t figure out what Ye Zhen was planning, but reluctantly, he sent out a Talisman Communication as instructed by Ye Zhen, because, no matter how he looked at it, Ye Zhen did not seem to be acting foolishly.

About 15 minutes later, Zuo Xiong received a reply from Nian Xinghe, detailing the accommodations of the Profound Moon Sect’s group, even including a list of the residents’ Cultivation levels.

Apart from Gan Rusong, the Establishment King, there were also two Seventh Stage of Vein Forging Realm, one Sixth Stage of Vein Forging Realm middle-aged Martial Artists, and another young man, whose Cultivation was only at the Second Stage of Vein Forging Realm.

"Alright, Brother Zuo, I’m going now. You wait for me at the Divine Sect!" Ye Zhen said, slapping Zuo Xiong on the shoulder. Before the words had fully left his mouth, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten silently appeared under Ye Zhen’s crotch and dashed away.

Watching the departing Ye Zhen, Zuo Xiong anxiously yelled out, "Brother, come back! Come back quickly! The Profound Moon Sect, joining forces with the other four great powers, has mobilized thousands of people. They are patrolling all around Qinglan Martial City, just waiting for you to walk into their trap..."

"Rest assured, with them, they won’t notice..."

Only a few words were heard before the voice of Ye Zhen, turned into a streak, disappeared. Zuo Xiong’s expression froze as he watched Ye Zhen instantly vanish, drawing a sharp inhale of cold air, his expression turning incredibly astonished.

"Instantly spanning over a hundred miles, what kind of speed is this?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets at QiDian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
