AWB Chapter 290 The turning point came as he wished.
Chapter 290 The turning point came as he wished.
These people had no one to rely on in the Taixu Sect and became peak masters entirely through their own abilities.
Of course, they are all peak masters who are extremely short of cultivation resources.
The Void Heaven Sect Master's move was extremely clever; it both silenced those old fogies and secured all the tangible benefits.
It's a pity he wasn't careful in accepting disciples; he was framed.
Soon, images spread throughout the Taixu Sect, showing Taixu Hall disciples searching for the peak masters of various peaks. Along with these images, rumors also circulated that the Xutian Sect Master intended to divide the Lan family's assets among these peak masters.
Although the rumors did not contain the specific content of the conversation between the Void Heaven Sect Master and these peak masters, they clearly explained the Void Heaven Sect Master's plan.
The Sect Master of the Void Heaven Sect also wanted to find out who leaked the information, but he found out that the area around his Taixu Palace had long been tightly controlled by the old guys in the back mountain with their divine senses. Not even a fly could escape their divine senses, let alone these sneaky disciples who dared to sneak up to the various peaks.
Those who can become peak masters are naturally not fools.
If there's a profit to be made, it's certainly acceptable to side with the sect leader and gain some small benefits.
But the current situation is that this small benefit is nothing compared to the pressure from our ancestors.
The chosen peak masters immediately denied this, stating that they would not take on any matters related to the Lan family's businesses...
The Void Heaven Sect Master's hard work was all for naught.
The subordinates he selected were instead reprimanded by the sect's elders, and some of them even became loyal to the elders.
It's really worth it.
But the Sect Master of Xutian was, after all, the Sect Master of Xutian. After righteously declaring that these rumors were baseless, he began to think of other ways to deal with the ancestors in the back mountain.
Don't you all want a piece of the Lan family's pie?
Okay, let's have free competition.
Thus, the more than thirty Transcending Tribulation Ancestors of the Taixu Sect got busy, forming cliques and alliances, and one small group after another emerged.
It has to be said that these old guys are all formidable. After suffering several losses at the hands of the Void Heaven Sect Master, they learned their lesson and clearly divided the Lan family's big cake among themselves.
This also includes reserving a piece for the Sect Master of the Void Heaven Sect.
The main point is that everyone benefits from it, and no one should be left out.
In fact, this distribution was extremely reasonable; all the ancestors benefited, and even the Sect Master of the Void Heaven Sect benefited.
But the Sect Master of Xutian Sect disagreed.
He came from a small mountain village, had no family behind him, and had not accumulated much resources over the years.
As his cultivation level increases, he needs more and more resources.
He naturally had to develop resources.
They finally managed to snatch the position of sect leader and also managed to grab a few money bags.
But now his biggest purse has been emptied, leaving him with only a tiny bit of resources.
How can this be done?
He now needs to improve his cultivation level, provide benefits to his newly acquired concubines, and lay the foundation for his new children.
He needs spirit stones and resources everywhere now.
He absolutely cannot afford to lose the Lan family's money bag!
So the Sect Master of the Void Heaven Sect made various excuses to delay, hoping to create a turning point in the situation.
The situation took a turn for the better, just as he had hoped.
However, it didn't go in the direction he hoped.
On the contrary, it was done in the way that was most disadvantageous to him.
The Shen family, a family that was fiercely competing and had just produced a Tribulation Transcending Saint, has run into trouble.
When the Shen family's Transcending Tribulation Saint was inspecting a mine of the sect on his orders, his entire family was wiped out.
Upon hearing this, the Shen family's Transcending Tribulation Saint urgently sought help from the sect.
As fate would have it, he was refining a newly acquired spiritual treasure and only received the news a day late.
Unable to get a reply from him, the Tribulation Transcending Saint of the Shen family had no choice but to ask two familiar Tribulation Transcending Saints for help while he himself hurriedly rushed back to provide assistance.
However, the Tribulation-Transcending Saint of the Shen family was unable to return in time, and his soul fire went out.
No one knows where he died.
In short, the soul fire went out.
Now, the balance of power in the struggle for the Lan family's assets has been broken, with the addition of a mine and a cultivation city belonging to the Shen family.
The Taixu Sect became lively once again.
The sect leader of the Void Heaven Sect had no choice but to face the interrogation from the old ancestors in the back mountain: Why didn't you deal with the message after receiving it for a whole day?
The Sect Master of the Void Heaven Sect found it difficult to answer, and dared not answer.
Because the spiritual treasure he refined came from the Lan family.
After obtaining this magical treasure, he did not hand it over to the sect, but secretly kept it for himself.
Unable to get a satisfactory answer, the elders of the back mountain naturally pressed him harder, demanding a satisfactory response.
But his initial answer was wrong.
A lie that has been exposed can never be covered up again, no matter how hard the person tries.
The once harmonious unity of the Taixu Sect has finally begun to crack.
The most powerful families, the Wu and Chen, joined forces and directly seized the two cultivation cities and a spirit stone mine left behind by the Lan family.
The remaining families were not happy about this and took action, quickly seizing the remaining assets of the Lan family and the Shen family.
The families, arguing over the unequal distribution of spoils, escalated from verbal disputes to physical fights, and then from physical fights to a chaotic flurry of magical artifacts and spiritual energy.
More and more families are getting involved.
The Sect Master of the Void Heaven Sect wanted to suppress it.
However, the Wu and Chen families, who had already gained benefits, were busy protecting their own interests.
Families that didn't receive any benefits are busy scrambling to grab them.
The Sect Master of the Void Heaven Sect finally understood the helplessness of his predecessor.
He, a sect leader at the Mahayana stage, lost his prestige and could no longer control the old monsters in the back mountain.
Fortunately, these old foxes knew the importance of things. It was just internal competition. They didn't miss any of the sect's tasks that needed to be completed, and they didn't give up any of the sect's interests that needed to be protected.
Just as the Sect Master of the Void Heaven Sect was somewhat relieved that there were no major problems with the sect, the Beast Taming Sect made its move.
In fact, over the past six months, too many people have intervened in all the major and minor events that have occurred at the Taixu Sect.
Who would let go of such a rare opportunity to weaken the Taixu Sect!
Of course, the Beast Taming Sect contributed the most.
The Beast Taming Sect is located right next to the Taixu Sect, and therefore has the best understanding of the Taixu Sect's strength.
Taking advantage of the intense infighting within the Taixu Sect, they dispatched more than ten Transcending Tribulation Saints to bomb the Taixu Sect's two largest spirit stone mines.
These two spirit stone mines account for about 10% of the Taixu Sect's spirit stone income.
Most importantly, the Taixu Sect has several cultivation rooms built on these two spirit stone mines, making them ideal cultivation places for Taixu Sect cultivators who are just one step away from advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.
Now, these two ideal places for cultivation are gone.
The bombed spirit stone mine created a trench that stretched for thousands of miles. The spirit stones were gone, leaving only pits and hollows, accompanied by rapidly flowing spiritual energy.
The ancestors of the Taixu Sect disregarded their fighting and all flew to the two spirit stone mines to investigate.
Finally, Venerable Wu Shouye and Venerable Chen Yongming simultaneously caught a wisp of aura.
This aura belongs to the Beast Taming Sect's guardian spirit beast, Old Thunder Eagle.
