Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1343 - 574: Thirty Years of Cultivation

Wen Bin expressed his discontent as he spoke.

Even if power is to be seized, it should start with them, the "Feiyun Sect," right?

When did it become the turn for people from "Profound Ice Island"?

This is utterly shameless!

"The troublesome one is the ’Sea King Sect.’"

Liao Wanqing gently twirled the folding fan in her hand, her brows slightly furrowed as she spoke slowly: "Because they control the East Sea route, they make exorbitant demands, asking for half of the alliance’s cultivation resources."

"If we comply with them, other forces will surely be dissatisfied; if not, they threaten to withdraw from the alliance, which is practically using the survival of the alliance as a bargaining chip."

Her voice was gentle, yet it couldn’t hide the worry in her words.

Ji Zixuan peeked her head out from behind Li Yunjing, her big eyes filled with confusion: "Since everyone knows that unity is needed to fight against external enemies, why is there still so much contention?"

"Zixuan, human nature is even harder to fathom than demon fiends."

Li Yunjing reached out to rub the top of her head, smiling bitterly: "Each island has different cultivation resources, varying strengths and weaknesses, and no one wants to be at a disadvantage in the alliance."

His gaze turned to the distant rolling waves, carrying a hint of exhaustion and helplessness.

"Why don’t we take another big action?"

Wen Bin suddenly slapped his thigh, standing up abruptly and exclaimed excitedly: "Just like when we eliminated the ’Ghost Fiend Hall,’ let’s find a troublemaker to establish our might in the alliance!"

His eyes burned with enthusiasm, as if he had already seen the scene of successfully intimidating all parties.

"Absolutely not! Last time we succeeded because Ghost Fiend Hall committed many evils and provoked public outrage."

Liao Wanqing calmly shook her head, gently waving the folding fan in her hand, her tone was warm yet firm: "If we rashly target any alliance force now, it would unite other forces against us, treating us as a common enemy."

Her logical analysis made Wen Bin calm down as well.

At that moment, a series of urgent sounds of piercing through the air was heard.

With an alert raise of their heads, they saw a sword light streak across the sky like a shooting star, heading straight towards the pavilion.

The four fixed their gazes, finding it was none other than Xu Xun!

"Brother Xu! Long time no see!"

Li Yunjing stood up, smiling in greeting.

Xu Xun was actually his rival in love!

Thinking back to those years, things were quite unpleasant between them at first.

With time, both of them let go of their grudges, and managed to coexist peacefully.

During the last expedition to the East Sea, Li Yunjing and Xu Xun worked together as companions, and it was a fairly pleasant collaboration.

However, since then, Xu Xun seemed to have disappeared.

Li Yunjing hadn’t heard any news about him.

Even on the day of his wedding with Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi, Xu Xun didn’t appear.

And the current expedition to the East Sea didn’t summon Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators; Xu Xun’s sudden appearance here made Li Yunjing curious about the reason behind it.

The sword light suddenly halted mid-air, with Xu Xun stepping onto a green edge outside the pavilion, his dark Daoist robe fluttering in the sea breeze.

His jawline was taut, his previously gentle face now covered with frost, and his gaze lingered an extra moment on Ji Zixuan before casually moving away.

"Vice Sect Leader, the situation is urgent."

Xu Xun raised his hand lightly, speaking swiftly: "I returned from the depths of the East Sea, and I have acquired important information, the ’Four Seas Commerce Association’ seems to be planning to join the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’!"

"What!"

Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing were both visibly shocked.

"The Four Seas Commerce Association is the largest trading organization in the East Sea, holding immense wealth."

If they join the "Celestial Net Dao Sect," wouldn’t it bring a significant resource influx to them?

This is extremely unfavorable for the upcoming great battle.

"It’s only natural!"

After all, we just eliminated the ’Four Seas Commerce Association’s Vice President Ao Lie!"

"The vendetta is indeed deep!"

Li Yunjing’s finger trembled slightly, the teacup he was holding clattered, and he placed it heavily on the stone table.

"Brother Xu, how did you come to know about this news?"

Li Yunjing looked at Brother Xu again, asking in a deep voice.

"For the past few years, I’ve been venturing into the depths of the East Sea for training, facing numerous dangers and encountering ancient restrictions and demon beasts."

Xu Xun watched as the shock spread across their faces, taking a deep breath and spoke slowly: "In an ancient relic submerged by seawater, I discovered traces of the ’Four Seas Commerce Association.’"

His gaze turned profound, as if revisiting those arduous training days.

"At first, I thought it was just a coincidence, so I quietly observed."

"Who would have thought that I would discover the elders of the association engaging in secret contact with people from the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect.’"

"They meet discretely in an undersea palace filled with coral, their language full of scheming for the exchange of benefits."

Xu Xun tightened his fist, a hint of anger in his tone, "To avoid alerting them, I could only follow from a distance, searching for concrete evidence."

"But how did you determine that they were planning to join?"

Liao Wanqing frowned tightly, halting the movement of her fan.

"I got this intelligence by risking an ambush on one of the ’Four Seas Commerce Association’ elders."

Xu Xun pulled out a damaged jade scroll from his bosom, covered in incomprehensible runes: "The scroll records the details of their dealings with the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect,’ including the routes and timings for transporting resources, and even the positions the association’s high-ranking members would obtain within the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect,’ all clearly written."

"With this, the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ will grow significantly stronger, further complicating our situation."

Li Yunjing picked up the jade scroll for a closer look, his expression growing increasingly grave: "But how did you manage to escape from such a perilous place in the depths of the East Sea?"

Li Yunjing had no choice but to question it!
