Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1707: Chapter 900: Decision

Although there were rumors of Li Yuanba defeating several Peak Great Cultivators like Master Cui, many cultivators believed that Jian Tianyi played a decisive role in that battle at the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

But in the battle on Changshui Island, only the Sword Cultivator Li Yuanba was present.

On the strength of this battle, Li Yuanba successfully trampled on the reputations of Master Cui and Great Cultivator Yu, among others, to become one of the top Great Cultivators.

The turmoil of the Cultivation World had little to do with Li Yuanba, and even if a cultivator wanted to find him, it was impossible.

Li Yuanba went into seclusion, refusing all visitors.

The Yuqing Sect wanted to seek revenge against Li Yuanba but had no way to do so, as all they could send now were their Great Powers.

No matter the number or power of their Great Cultivators, they couldn’t defeat Li Yuanba even if all combined. Seeking trouble with him was essentially a death wish.

After the failure of hiring strong cultivators to encircle and kill Li Yuanba, there were no Peak Great Cultivators willing to take action.

There are not many Peak Great Cultivators in the Cultivation World; many super forces only have one Peak Great Cultivator.

As for sending out a Great Power, Li Yuanba was not a cultivator without background. Unlike with Li Shiming, they couldn’t just send an avatar to force him to flee.

If Great Power Luo Yuan dared to send an avatar to the Central State Continent, he might get annihilated by the numerous Great Powers there before taking action against Li Yuanba.

This action of Li Yuanba’s did not come without trouble; it put his hatred with the Yuqing Sect out in the open, gaining him new enemies.

However, one benefit of his action is that the Yuqing Sect could no longer meddle in the affairs of the Dongqi Continent.

The Yuqing Sect is now struggling, with many of its resource points seized. Faced with multiple forces attacking simultaneously, they are exhausted and have no energy left to focus on the Dongqi Continent.

Only the White Emperor Sect and some hidden super forces secretly supported Dongqi Continent’s sects against the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

Due to Li Yuanba’s aggressive action, the White Emperor Sect also sensed a potential connection between Li Yuanba and the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. Their intelligence department discovered a crucial piece of intelligence: Li Yuanba is friends with Li Shizhen.

This conclusion was drawn because the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion always seemed to receive high-level Spirit Pills in advance during Li Shiming’s alchemy sessions, never needing to queue.

Through some connections, it was learned that the one handling these matters was Li Yuanba.

Therefore, it is very likely that Li Yuanba took action against the Yuqing Sect to alleviate pressure on the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

Otherwise, given his status, why else would he act so destructively against the Yuqing Sect, seemingly offending them brutally?

Thus, the White Emperor Sect withdrew most of its strength from the Dongqi Continent, leaving only a few cultivators responsible for liaison.

They did this to avoid provoking Li Yuanba again. Li Yuanba was extremely ruthless, to the point where even a super force like the White Emperor Sect feared him.

A branch of the Yuqing Sect had been completely wiped out, from Great Cultivators to ordinary cultivators, all by Li Yuanba alone.

Lianhua Temple and the Sun Concealing Sect were unaware of the White Emperor Sect’s actions, which was not their fault as their entire intelligence network was focused on investigating the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

Regarding the situation of the White Emperor Sect on the Dongqi Continent, those two sects could not possibly gather intel.

Like other super forces, the White Emperor Sect left only liaison cultivators behind, with no actual combat cultivators.

In a sense, these super forces have given up on dealing with the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

They’re not worried about the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect’s ally, Luanyang Palace.

Luanyang Palace operates with low-key principles unless there’s a major event against them; otherwise, they won’t make any big moves.

But Li Shizhen’s friend, Li Yuanba, is the most terrifying trouble.

Li Yuanba operates without any scruples, even causing two Peak Great Cultivators to fall at his hands, a level of power akin to another Li Shizhen.

With Li Shizhen around before, neither the Yuqing Sect nor the White Emperor Sect ever thought of dealing with the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

Now with Li Yuanba’s appearance, the Yuqing Sect is forced to withdraw from the Dongqi Continent, and the White Emperor Sect has also voluntarily left.

Within the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, Grandmaster Hu looked peculiarly at the letter in his hand.

This letter was delivered to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect Intelligence Department by a White Emperor Sect cultivator, and was subsequently passed to him.

The letter, addressed to Grandmaster Hu, was from the White Emperor Sect, promising not to interfere in Dongqi Continent affairs and stated that no non-Dongqi Continent forces would send any cultivators to intervene in Dongqi Continent internal matters.

Grandmaster Hu also took out another piece of intelligence; this was information about the White Emperor Sect’s withdrawal from the Dongqi Continent.

Unlike Lianhua Temple and the Sun Concealing Sect, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect’s intelligence department is in rapid expansion, while those two sects can no longer support their vast intelligence networks and are barely managing to sustain them, let alone investigate the White Emperor Sect’s activities.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect’s intelligence department discovered that the White Emperor Sect’s combat cultivators left the Dongqi Continent. Coupling this with the letter from the White Emperor Sect, their stance was clear.

"What happened, how did this situation arise? Could it be a trap?" Grandmaster Hu murmured to himself.
