C16 There Were Visitors from the Heavenly Sword Sect

The moon hung high in the sky, and there was silence.

In the study room of the sect master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Hwa Tianji was still writing.

He was a diligent person. Every day, he had to finish his sect's tasks before he was willing to go to bed. Sometimes, he would even stay up all night.

He took out a copy of the document from the pile of documents. Hwa Tianji said while dabbing in the ink:

"You have been here for such a long time. Are you planning to stay by the side and watch me deal with the sect's affairs?"

There was no one else in the room except for Hwa Tianji. It was supposed to be like this, but as soon as Hwa Tianji's voice rang, the figure appeared in a way that was almost detached from the background.

Hwa Tianji raised his gaze and saw the man standing not far away.

He was dressed in a black robe, and his face was hidden under a strange dark golden mask.

The mask was really eye-catching. It was ferocious and ferocious, but it also gave people a vague sense of dignity.

Hwa Tianji knew that the mask depicted the face of the Buddhist Ming Emperor.

"Commander Luo of the Country Suppressing Guard has come to visit us late at night. May I know why?"

Hwa Tianji put down the calligraphy brush in his hand and asked without any sadness or joy.

"The young master of the Heavenly Jade Palace has come out of seclusion."

The Young Ancestor of the Heavenly Jade Palace? Was there still someone from the generation of Ancestor in the Heavenly Jade Palace? Hwa Tianji was secretly shocked, but he did not make a sound on his face.

"What does the matter of the Heavenly Jade Palace's Young Master coming out of seclusion have to do with my Heavenly Sword Sect?"

Although they knew that they could not deceive the people of the Country Guard, there were some things that could only be understood in their hearts, and once they were made clear, they would cause a lot of trouble.

"Senior Master Hua is indeed decisive. In that case, I will not beat around the bush. Your sect was originally one step away from the Heavenly Jade Palace, but now a tiger has suddenly appeared in your path. Is Sect Master Hua willing to accept this?"

It had to be said that the man in front of him had hit Hwa Tianji's vital point.

The Heavenly Sword Sect had been spying on the seats of the five great sects of the Heavenly Jade Palace for a long time. Since the Heavenly Jade Palace had suffered a great loss in vitality after that bloody purge five years ago, many second-rate sects had been eyeing it covetously, and the Heavenly Sword Sect was naturally no exception. Especially when the current sect master had advanced to the Heaven Stage and had a fighting strength that was on par with the Heavenly Jade Palace.

Hwa Tianji was a man with great ambitions. He had long since felt that the Heavenly Jade Palace had been sitting on the seats of the five great sects for long enough.

However, a young ancestor suddenly appeared in the Heavenly Jade Palace, and the gap between them could be said to have widened in an instant. One Heaven Stage and two Heaven Stage were two completely different concepts. No matter how strong a single Heaven Stage was, it was impossible for them to win against two Heaven Stage cultivators. At most, it would end in a draw.

But why would Luo Hong suddenly tell her such a piece of news? Hwa Tianji did not think that the other party was doing this out of goodwill. Country Suppressing Guard's position meant that they could only cooperate with martial arts sects and could not be on good terms with them.

Hwa Tianji did not think that the other party was simply trying to tell him such a piece of news, so -

"Are you here to work with me?"

"Sect Master Hua is indeed smart."

Although these words were a compliment, there was no emotion in them at all.

"Are you plotting against Heavenly Jade Palace?"

"We are not happy to see a new Martial Ancestor suddenly appear in the Heavenly Jade Palace."

Speaking of which, even though the feud between the Imperial Court and the martial arts sects had erupted once five years ago, that didn't mean that it had come to an end. The Emperor was still very wary of the martial arts sects, and especially the five great sects. Therefore, it was reasonable for the Country Suppressing Guard to have such an attitude as a martial cultivator of the Imperial Court.

Hwa Tianji muttered to himself. Although working with the Country Suppressing Guard was no different from asking for a tiger's hide, it was also an opportunity.

"What are you going to do?"

"We have received news from our insider that the Young Master of the Heavenly Jade Palace will leave the palace to attend your banquet. This is a good opportunity to capture her alive. "

The Country Suppressing Guard was indeed terrifying, as it had already arranged for a linear hole in the Heavenly Jade Palace.

"You want to live?"

Hwa Tianji frowned. As the saying goes, if you don't get rid of the root of the grass, it will grow again in the spring breeze. He didn't understand why he wanted her to be captured alive and not killed.

"If I kill him, how am I going to divert the blame to Ye Zhen?"

What a great idea! Hwa Tianji's eyes widened. The Country Suppressing Guard was plotting against the entire Heavenly Jade Palace, not just the Heavenly Jade Palace's Young Martial Ancestor.

"Then what about our Heavenly Sword Sect?"

"The Little Ancestor of the Heavenly Jade Palace will be poisoned. Sect Master Hua only needs to bring the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect to the designated location at the appointed time to help me capture him alive. When she is captured, we will have to let her stay in your sect for a few more days. When we have everything ready, we will secretly take her away and push all the blame to Ye Zhen."

The reason why the Country Suppressing Guard wanted the Heavenly Sword Sect to take action was because they did not want to provoke the nerves of the other four sects of the five great sects. That was why they had to hide in the dark and let the Heavenly Sword Sect make a move on the surface. As a result, even if others were to find out, they would only think of it as a grudge between two sects rather than the Imperial Court's Country Suppressing Guard against the martial arts sects.

"Sect Master Hua, what do you think?"

Hwa Tianji fell into deep thought. Although it was dangerous to cooperate with Country Suppressing Guard, it might also be an opportunity.

If they could really use the Heavenly Jade Palace's little martial ancestor to deal with Ye Zhen, then the Heavenly Sword Sect would be able to easily become a fisherman and reap the benefits.

When two tigers fought against each other, one of them would definitely be injured. If the young master of the Heavenly Jade Palace fought with Ye Zhen, no matter who won or lost, the Heavenly Jade Palace would definitely suffer a great loss. In this way, the Heavenly Sword Sect might be able to surpass the Heavenly Jade Palace in terms of strength and obtain the position of the five great sects.

An opportunity could not be missed, nor could it be missed again! Hwa Tianji's eyes lit up.

"Alright, I agree to this matter."
